The Judges have by a majority decided that all persons seeking to register, or reregister, must make a new affidavit before the Registering Barrister, to entitle them to a new certificate.

A requisi- tion, signed by all parties, and headed by Sir Patrick Bellew, Lieutenant of Louth, has been presented to the Mayor of Drogheda, who has con- vened the inhabitants for the purpose of petitioning Parliament "to grant to Ireland a free trade in banking upon the sante system enjoyed by Scotland, and under which Belfast and other towns have made the most rapid progress in trade and manufactures."

Meetings of a similar kind are about to lie held in Dundalk, Newry, Carlow, and the other towns within fifty miles of Dublin.--Dublin Correspondent qf the Times.
