The accounts of the proceedings of the Revising Barristers continue to be favourable to the Liberals : we resume our extracts from the provincial journals.

The comparative numbers of Reformers and Tories now on the registration list for West Bromwich, in South Staffordshire, are—voted

for the Reform candidate at the last election, 192 ; Reformers added at the last registration, 266 ; total, 458. Voted for a Tory at last election, 123 ; added to registration, 104; total, 227. Majority for Reformers, 231.

In North Leicestershire, the Reformers sustained 1.55 objections out of 271 ; the Tories 79 out of 125.

In South Northumberland, the net Liberal gain is 128 votes.

In North Wiltshire, the Liberals struck 170 Tories, the Tories 98 Liberals, from the register.

In the Tavistock district of South Devonshire, the gain to the Reform interest is 100 votes.

The Revising Barristers in the Southern division of Shropshire have ruled, that to render a notice of objection legal, each (although all are printed from the same type, and of course literally the same)

must be read over word fur word with the copy preserved by the notice- server. This has not been done ; the reading over and comparison of

the names of the parties, with the oath of the notice-server as to their

being properly served, being deemed sufficient. But the Barristers thought the contrary, and rejected all the notices by the Liberal party. In

the Northern division the notices of objection by the Liberal party were signed by one person, and the names of the parties filled in after- wards; and, although the notice-servers made oath they were properly

served on the parties, the Barristers again decided that they were all illegal, and swept them off. We are assured that a declaration, or petition, will be transmitted to Lord Denman, from gentlemen in this county, stating many cases of alleged partiality decided by the Bar- risters appointed by his Lordship.—Shrewsbury Chronicle.

The West Suffolk Liberals have added 700 to their numbers; the Tories only 300.

In South Northamptonshire, the Tories expunged 136 Liberals from the list, but the Reformers succeeded in displacing 183 of their opponents.

The East Kent registration terminated on Wednesday last, and we may cordially congratulate our friends on the issue. In almost every instance, the Reformers have had the advantage, notwithstanding the stale tricks of the Tory prints to deceive their readers.—Kent Herald.

In East Gloucestershire, the Tories expunged the names of 401 Liberals, while the latter displaced 230 Tones.

In North Nottinghamshire, the Reformers have been very success- ful. Many of the Duke of Newcastle's tenantry have been struck off the register. Altogether the Reformers have removed 328 Tories from the lists.

The Standard is making a prodigious fuss about the striking out of forty voters from the Huntingdonshire lists, and charges Lord John

Russell with an unworthy attempt to foist forty "fagot-votes" on the register. What Lord John Russell, the Duke of Bedford, or any one of the family has to do in the affair, remains to be proved. The facts,

as we gather them from the statement of the Standard's own corre- spondent, seem to be simply these. As long ago as 1827, a Mr. Wing was employed by several-parties to purchase property sufficient to con-

fer county votes. He accordingly bought what be considered would be needed for the purpose, from a Mr. Butt. He took the opinion of counsel on the most economical mode of effecting the object; and was instructed that Mr. Butt should convey the property to himself (Mr. Wing), and that he should convey it to the respective parties. It ap- pears that several of these conveyances were upon wrong stamps; by which the parties, according to the statement of Mr. Perry, the Re- vising Barrister, incurred penalties to the amount of 10001. The con- veyances were also made by Wing on the same day that the property was conveyed to him ; and this was held to affect the strict legality of the proceeding. In fact, the object seems to have been to procure property sufficient to give the right of votingat as small a legal expense as possible. In doing this, the parties sailed too near the wind. In

one instance the property was below the required value. We have taken this account from the Standard's correspondent ; the case against the Liberals is not therefore likely to be softened. But there really does

not seem to us to be any thing very iniquitous in the transaction. Neither do we find the'name of the Duke of Bedford or Lord John Russell mixed up in it. How the election occurrences of 1827, when

the whole system of corruption was in full operation, can be made out to be a crime against the Reform Act of 1832, also puzzles us. The Standard, in the full fervour of virtuous indignation, which it knows so well how to simulate, says that the affair cannot be matched in the doings of the Tories : we reply, that in 1827 much worse things were

openly done by Whigs and Tories at every contested election, and within the last twelvemonth by the Tories at Norwich, Leicester, Ipswich, and other places.
