The League held a great meeting at Rochdale, on Wednesday,

in furtherance of their new movement to multiply borough and county votes, by inducing persons who have the means to invest money in ob- taining qualifications; the ease of which, even for those with compara- tively humble means, was explained by Mr. Cobden. He said that in Middlesex it is proposed thus to add 500 or 1,000 to the register, before the 31st Jauuary next' and he expected that North Cheshire, West Yorkshire, and North Lancashire, would follow the example of South Lancashire.
