The accounts of the registration are still very imperfect. In many districts we have statements of the numbers of objections sustained and rejected, but the new claims established and the final results are sel- dom given. The following gleanings from the provincial papers will put our readers in possession of the facts we have been able to collect

At Winchester, the Liberals objected to 54 flames, of which 34 were expunged; and the Conservatives objected to 21 names, 18 of which were expunged. In the numbers objected to arid expunged at the in- stance of the Liberal party, are included the Prebendaries and some gentlemen connected with the College. The case of these gentlemen

was dismissed, on the ground that being in an extra-parochial place, they formed no part of the parish of St. Swithin, in which they were regis- tered, according to the 44th clause of the Reform Act, and the last eensus.—Hampshire Chronicle. At Exeter, the objections by the Reformers were about 240, of which they succeeded in striking off about 200, and they succeeded in esta- blishing, about 50 claims. The Tories succeeded in striking off about 150, and establishing about 30 claims ; thus the Reform majority of 222 upon the last registration is, by the result of this just closed, increased to something approaching 300.-1)ceonshire Chronicle. In the Stockport district of North Cheshire, the Reformers have pined a net majority of 37 votes. On the lists of Birmingham, Aston, Coleshill, and Sutton Cold. field, the North Warwickshire Reformers have beaten the Tories in respect of objections, by 64 votes. They had the advantage also on the Edgbaston lists. At Liverpool, the Reformers struck 130 freemen off the register. In Carmarthen, the Tories pretend to have gained 39 more votes than the Liberals.

In Monmouth town and county, the Liberals have the advantage.

In the West Riding of Yorkshire, the Tories boast that they struck off 143, and the Liberals only 51 votes : they must do a good deal snore than this to break down a Reform majority of 3000.

In West Gloucestershire, the Tories claim to have gained 229 votes in the registry up to Saturday last. In Leicester, the Liberal increase on a balance of objections is 93 rotes.

By the revision at Canterbury, 1.50 votes have been added to the constituency; of which 90 are those of Reformers. The Kent Herald says- .. The revision of the Parliamentary voters' list, which finished last week, is decidedly favourable to the Liberal Interest. A large majority of the names added since last election are Reformers; and supposing that the old electors vote as before, and the new ones according to their known political sentiments, Mr. Rumbold Lushington may bid farewell to the representation of Canterbury."

The Birmingham Tories refused the offer of the Liberals to with- draw objections on both sides, and the result is thus stated by the Birmingham Journal-

" There is an old book which tells us about a certain description of people digging pits, and themselves falling into them. The Tories, who began the wholesale system of objection. taking, had a proposal made to them before the Revising Courts commenced, to drop all objections on both sides ; and they spurned the very thought. The objections were proceeded in, and the wise 1 ories lost sixty votcs! Calculating on the incarceration of Stanley (server of the Liberal notices, whom the Tories managed to arrest), their pleader an- nounced with great pomp, on the day that the Court met, that service of all the Reform notices must be proved. Service of his own notices was required, arid in the very first two instances the proof failed. He lost these ; and we need hardly say, no more services were required. Out of the eighty-eight notices served by Stanley, there were not, we hear, above about a tenth part that was not persisted in. An Ingenious attempt has been made to show that the Tories had the better in respect of objections. They established a third more than the Reformers! The words omitted—" on hearing "- -explain this specimen of cunning against fact. The actual gain of the Reformers was as we have stated it."

At the revision of voters' names at Bristol, last week, no fewer than 418 freemen were expunged by both parties on their several ob- jections; but, independent of these numbers, 75 were objected to by both parties, making the total expunged 493. Thus have two revi- sions reduced a list of about 6000 freemen to about 4000; and whereas before the care of the registration was untertaken by the Reformers through the means of the Bristol Liberal Association, the freemen had a majority of about 2000 over the householders, that majority is now reversed ; a considerable increase having taken place in the house- hold voters this year as well as the preceding one.

In East Surry, at the close of the Registration, it appeared that the Reformers had substantiated 66 out of 7.5 objections; the Tories, 48 out of 96.

At Peterborough the Barrister decided that a scot and lot voter, whose name had been struck off the register for non-payment of taxes, could not have his name restored (as a scot and lot voter) at a future registration, although he had then cleared off his arrears. This decision, if followed in other parts of the country, will have the effect of cutting down the number of freemen considerably.

In Halifax, the Liberals have been successful.

At Brighton, we suspect, from the indistinct statement of the Brighton Gazette, the Reformers have beaten their antagonists. The Tory journalist of that place says-

" The registration for this borough has been most satisfactory. Al- though the Radicals made as many as 109 objections, only 52 of these were against Conservatives, of which number they sustained Oa. The re- mainder of the objections were against Whigs, or persons whose politics are unknown. In the Claim Court, where the chief interest centered, they failed utterly, having substantiated only 15 claims out of 277. This result leaves the Conservative cause triumphant; for there is, of course, not the slightest chance of the compound claims being ever allowed by an Election Committee, even if they should be submitted (of which there is small probability) to the investigation of such a tribunal."

How many claims and objections did the Tories substantiate at Brighton? Did they make neither? At present, it must be remem- bered, both the Members for Brighton are Liberals.

At Ashburton, the Reform objections allowed were 14; Reform claims sustained, 3. Tory objections allowed, 4. This, with the pre- vious existing majority, puts the borough quite out of the reach of the Tories.

By the revision in South Essex, the Reformers have gained 300 votes more than the Tories.

In Merionethshire, the Reformers have increased their strength by 250 votes. On the claims, their majority over the Tories was 118. In North Shropshire, in the Oswestry district alone, the Reformers struck off 116 Tory votes ; while the Tories succeeded against only 20 Reformers.

In the Nuneaton district of North Warwickshire, the Reform gain m considerable. Liberal Mayors have been elected by the Councils of Liverpool, Norwich, and York. In the latter town, the Tories have been boast- ing of a majority ; but the choice of a Reformer for the Mayoralty

proves how little dependence is to be placed on their assertions. A Liberal Sheriff was also elected. The Tories in the Liverpool Council bitterly objected to being placed on the Standing Committees which were appointed on Wednesday. These Committees have not mdse.

quently unpopular duties to perform, from the odium of which the Tories wished to shrink.

The Trustees of the Dock Estate elected by the Liverpool Town- Councils out of their own body, and are all Liberals.

We mentioned last week, that a principal cause of the partial success of the Tories at the Liverpool Municipal election was the offence given by the Town-Council to a portion of the innkeepers; and we find the statement confirmed by the Liverpool Chronicle-

" Take a map of the town; look at the various districts won and lost on this occasion ; and it will be at once seen that the greatest success attended the Tories in those quarters where the small beer-shops most abound. The re- spectable publicans remained true to their principles ; but the law-bre:47,1N thought 'how sweet is revenge,' as they rushed forth to wreak their ven- geance on the friends of those who‘have put the laws into execution. The Tories, who call themselves the supporters, par excellence, of order, were on the alert to take advantage of and foment this feeling ; and to this feeling espe- cially, we repeat, they owe the dash, in-the-pan success in which they are now exulting with so much boisterous glee and satisfaction. 2. The butchers also, as well as the small publicans, had a little selfish feud with the Council. It is rumoured that they absolutely went about endeavouring to pledge the Refornt candidates of the several W arch to vote against the removal of the slaughter- houses from the centre of the town ; and that when they refused, they made the same application to the Tories, who, of course, swallowed the pledge as readily as if it had been a glass of port wine, and would have promised any thing for a return to power, even to making a foot-ball of the Crown, a ducking. stool of the Throne, or a horse-barrack of Westminster Abbey, while its neighbour, St. Paul's, should be planted, on the newest horticultural principles, with its steeple downwards.

"We have alluded to those several points, not for the benefit °four Liverpool readers, who know them as well as we do, but to rescue the town from the im- putation of caprice and fickleness and abandonment of principle, to which the result of the Municipal elections has rendered it liable in the eyes of the country at large. We repeat what we said before, that the whole thing has turned upon local heats and disagreements, and no other cause. The heart of the people is still right. As a question of politics, the present contest affords no criterion."

At the Council held on Wednesday, at Evesham, to elect a Mayor, the Tory Mayor of last year persisted, in spite of remonstrances as well as protests, in his right to keep the chair. He is one of the four councillors whose office was vacated on the 1st instant, under the Act; he then became a candidate for reelection ; and the burgesses on that day discarded him from his post, four Liberals only being elected. The councillorship of "his Worship" being therefore at an end, it is clear that as a councillor he could no longer vote ; but his own adherents, finding that the Liberals in chamber mustered eight votes against their seven, instructed him to vote with them in their nomination of a Mayor, first, as still a member of the Council (by this means nefa- riously bringing up their party to an apparent level with their oppo- nents), and after this inducing him to give a second, or as they were pleased facetiously to term it, a "casting vote" as president of the assembly. The Mayor proposed by the Liberals on this occasion, and as such elected by a majority of the actual Council, is Mr. Thomas Nelson Foster. The mayor of straw constructed by the minority is Dr. Cooper. The physician, however, subsequently evinced symptoms of certain internal qualms, by deferring his decision as respects accept- ing office till the ensuing week. Meanwhile notice of an action to re- cover the penalties under section 53 of the Municipal Act has this day ( Thursday) been served on the late Mayor (Mr. William Barnes) at the suit of Mr. Foster.—Correspondent if the Courier.

On Wednesday, about 200 gentlemen of Yarmouth gave a public dinner to their newly-elected Mayor, Mr. Barth. The speakers pro- fessed full confidence in their ability to return two Liberal Members at the next election,—one of them, at least, to be more of a Radical than Mr. Rumbold, the late Member ; who will also be one of the Liberal candidates on a dissolution.
