The provincial journals contain a good deal of matter on

the subject of the Registration ; but it is not of a very satisfactory. description. Frequently a few opening lines of Liberal or Tory boasting as to the

n results of certain proceedings in the Basters' Court, with figure statements appended, make us fancy we have something definite as to the strength of parties in the county or borough, as the ease may be ; but upon further examinetion, it appears, in most cases, that the return is only for a parish or district, instead of the whole town or county. In default, however, of more accurate and combined information, we continue our selection of disjointed statements front the columns of our provincial contemporaries.

In Bath, the Reformers have gained a few votes : the comparative terve of parties remains the same.

In Carlisle, the Reformers have made 44 objections, and have also struck off the whole body of the freemen, taking advantage of some informality in posting the lists. This they had not intended to do, but the Tories having objectel to a large number of householders, they found i themselves under the necessity of retaliating; and t s said that they now have a majority of six to one against the Tones. The Dean and Chapter of Carlisle were struck off the register.

The Devonport Tories had objected to upwards of 80 Reformers ; but the objections have fallen to the ground, in consequence of the objector having omitted his place of residence in the notice.

The new claims and objections in Totness have been three to one in favour of the Reformers.

In the parish of Hunstonworth, in North Durham, 40 clergymen, who had claimed as being in the receipt of pensions under the will of Lord Crewe, were objected to, on the ground that the amount be- queathed did not yield a sufficierilty large amount to constitute a free- hold qualification ; and 33 of them were struck off the register. The result of the revision for this division of the county generally, is stated to be triumphantly favourable to the Liberals.

At Exeter, 348 votes have been struck off by the Liberals, and 137 by the Tories ; which leaves a balance of 211 in favour of the Re- formers

A large number of new Whig claimants have been inserted on the Denbighshire register, but very few by the Tories, with the exception of the Choristers of St. Asap!). The Derby Tory paper alleges, that the registration for High Peak Hundred has been favourable to the Tory party- and that they have been able to sustain 165 objections, while the Whig party have only been able to strike off 12 out of 52 objected to. In Scarsdale Hun- dred, the Tories have objected to 14.5, and struck off 106; the Whigs to 127, and struck off 57.

At the revision of the South Shields list, the Tories had it all their own way, no one having appeared from the Liberal side to object to any of their votes; although it is said many objections might have been sustained, but for this culpable neglect.

The Reformers of Newcastle objected to 42 names of householders, and struck off 37; 19 freemen were also struck off out of 24. The new claimants, householders, amounted to 62; 32 of whom were registered.

The borough lists in the West of England are nearly completed, but the counties will not be finished until the end of the month. Im- mense exertions have been made by both Liberals and Conservatives. The result hitherto is decidedly in favour of the Liberals, who have gained ground in all the boroughs without exception.—Plymouth Journal.

The Revising Barristers for Hertfordshire met again on Saturday last, at the Court-house, Hertford, pursuant to an adjournment, prin- cipally to hear before both Barristers the important discussion as to the right of the proprietors of shares in the New River to vote. The solicitor of the Company produced evidence of the title of the indi- vidual proprietors, and the value of the share, as also the income analog from It, to show an adequate annual value. After a long die-

cussion, the Barristers decided in favour of the right of shareholders to the elective franchise. This decision is the reverse of that given by Mr. Coventry ; who refused to place the Middlesex New River share- holders on the register. I

We are enabled to give to our:readers the result of the registration in Hertford borough, for the accuracy of which we can vouch. The number of votes in the Liberal interest added to the list is 34 ; which, with Mr. Cowper's former majority of six, will make a clear majority of 40 upon any future election. We leave Lord Salisbury anti his Doctor to chew the cud upon these agreeable tidings ; assuring them, that whenever a dissolution may take place, we shall be equally proud and happy to convince them, practically, of the perfect accuracy of ou- calculationA,..-Herybrd, Reformer. The parish-officereof Leeds township feel themselves placed ii7717- ettmst an ces of great difficulty as to the course proper to be taken with regard to the very numerous class of inhabitants whose rates have been compounded for and paid by the landlord. Our readers are fully aware that Mr. Hildyard, the last Revising Barrister, ruled, that under the Reform Act persons not having paid the whole rate, but a composition. on the amount, were not entitled to vote for Members of Parliament. The same view prevails in some quarters with respect to the burgess voters created under the Municipal Reform Act. The Workhouse Board, unwilling to disfranchise without a hearing so large a body of their fellow townsmen as are involved in this questiee, held a meeting last night on the subject, when they determined to make. application to Lord John Russell, stating the circumstances, and asking his opinion of the steps proper to be taken in making out the burgess. list. Should this composition payment be deemed sapient, we shall have in this township alone some 16,000 voters for the Town-('ouncil ; but should the compounding rate-payers not to be allowed to vote, the number will be reduced more than one half—probably to 6000. —Leeds Mercury) It is said that the results of the registration in East Somerset are favourable to the Conservatives.

In Devonshire, it would seem that the Reformers have gained ground, but not sufficient to eject the Tories. On Saturday last, at Sedbergh, the extreme Northern point of the Yorkshire West Riding, the Tories experienced another defeat, front the inaccuracy of their wholesale objections. The objector was a Mr.

Tory solicitor ; who signed himself as residing in Lowther Street, Harrison,Kendal—it appeared that he really resided in Sand Area, Sue- mondgate, Kendal. The Revising Barristers, after a long consulta- tion, held all the notices of objection to be defective ; and, conse- quently, all the Reformers objected to retain their votes ; and there is not the least doubt that, in the event of an election, the majority would. now in that mountainous district be in favour of the catoe of Reform, the registry being nearly doubled. The general result of the registra- tion throughout the Riding must preclude the possibility of a Tory again corning tnevard ; the increase of the vdters inn the Liberal interest being calculated to double the majority of the late clection.—, Shcgield Iris.

The apparent result of tile revision of the list of voters for the West Riding is in favour of the Tories ; but the real result will be a great accession of strength to the Reformers. In tine Ilaliftx district, for example, there is a seeming gain to the Tonics 0/1 the objections and claims allowed and disallowed ; but tee believe the Reformers will in that very district gain upwards of 300 votes. This is accounted for by the much greater number of claims made by the Reformers before the 20th of July.—Leeds Mercury.

A good many objections have been raised in North Staffordshire to the trustees of chapels ; upon the valid:ty of wleese votes there is a di-

vided opinions. One Barrister rejects those claimants the other re- tains them. In another doubtful point the two learnedgentlemen are also of opposite opinions,—Mr. Seeker allows the votes of tenants occupying to the amount of 501. per annum, whether under one or more landlords ; Mr. Whatley rejects the claims where there is a plurality of landlords.

According to the Leicester Chronicle, the gain of the Liberals on the registration in that borough has been a total of 108.

The Sussex registration proceeds very favourably to the Liberal cause : upwards of one thousand new votes have been registered for East Sussex ; two-thirds of which are decidedly Liberals, and which will add so largely to the present majority possessed by our Liberal sitting Members, as to defy Conservative efforts of whatever kind to oust them from their seats.—Brighton Guardian.

The majority in favour of the Reformers upon the registration in East Norfolk is 383. In the Western division of the county, the number of objections by the Tories was 854, and by the Reformers 898; of which objections, the Reformers sustained 304, and the Tories 229,—leaving a majority of 75 in favour of the Reformers.

At the revision of the county voters for the parishes of Warbling-

ton, North and South Hayling, Havant, and Farlington, in South Hampshire, the Liberal party has added at least 100 votes to their former list in these five parishes. We cannot avoid the expression of our regret at witnessing on this occasion. the Rector of Farlingtoa sitting at the elbow of the learned Barrister, supporting, with all his ability, the claims of those of his parishioners who coincide with him in politics, and opposing others who did not think with hint. Noe can we reconcile with our notions of morality, the attempt of this clergy- man to sustain for party purposes, five fagot votes out of his posses- sions, which were claimed in behalf of different members of his family, when not one penny of consideration has been given for leases on which the claims were attempted to be foisted. Ile was very pro- perly defeated in four of the cases.—liampshire Tekgragh.

In Worcester, most numerous objections were made by the Re- formers, both in time Overseers' and the Freemen's lists; and they sue. ceeded in striking off considerably more than their opponents.— Wor- cester Herald.

In East Surry, the claims of the Directors of the Thames Tunnel

to vote in respect of the freehold property in the Tunnel were dis- allowed; though Mr. Knox, in giving his decision, said he could not understand upon what principle that law was founded which was un-- favourable to corporations aggregate acquiring the right to vote.

The objee:ions to Tory votes sustained by the Reading Reformers amount to 44, whilst the number of Reformers struck off the list by the Tories amounts to 28. The number of new claims sustained by each party was nearly equal. The Reading Mercury says—" Upon the whole, as the lists now stand, they are not only favourable to the Reform interest, but, in the event of an election during the present year, there is not the shadow of a doubt but that the Reformers (if true to themselves) would return their second candidate by a trium- phant majority." The county registration has gone on decidedly in favour of the Re. formers in the Isle of Wight. The Northern and Western, with part of the Southern districts, give the popular party a decided majority; and this after all the boasting of the Tories. Over and over have they asserted, that Sir Richard Simeon was returned by bad votes, and that at the registration they would establish a positive majority for Mr. Ward ; but the revision has taken place, and more Tories are struck out than Reformers, after exertions of no ordinary nature, and after an expense unlimited in amount. Courts have been held at Cowes, Yarmouth, and Ventnor, and others will be held at Newport and Hyde, to complete the lists, with no better chance of success to the Tories. —Brighton Guardian. The Kent Iferold says that the seat of Lord Albert Conytigham for Canterbury is quite safe ; but cannot the Reformers secure the return of a second candidate of similar principles ?

In West Somerset, the Reformers have added 22 to their late ma- jority of 1004. III Truro, the Reformers have gained considerably, and hope at the next election to put a more thorough Liberal in the place of Mr. Ennis Vivian.

The Dover registration has resulted in giving a majority of 61 votes to the Liberals. This may turn the scale in their favour at the next election.

In Lincoln, 40 votes have been added to the Liberal majority. The Northampton Liberals have aidded 25 to their borough voters, and some hundreds to the county lists. Sixty Tory objections were disallowed, in consequence of the objector omitting to add the name of the street in which he lived, and simply signing his name with " Northampton."

At Grantham, the claims of the trustees of Methodist and Inde- pendent Chapels were allowed; and this gave a majority to the Re- formers.
