Sir, A morning Met efrisserliesonsains a leading ankle, devoted to the ere eters Mr. liner; brought before Lambeth polieseoutt, an Piling its SIM ult., charged with en result upon police assable Weiler, IS P. This charge was proved to be gelarsal the policeman, of course, to be guilty of per f whisk th e Chronicle strongly recommends ller" te Ile consideration of the polies authorities, and romerks that " Weller's" chat are payead of great facilities he redwing themselves with impunity. Now, air, I wish he err* it it also worthy tenelderation that, beyond all deem of meaty policemen an, as to their moral and tell gifts welfare, the most neglected ; for if we look at the military, the convict, or the pauper, we sr special prosier's made for aisle respective moral and religious interests; not so however for the police. While good cairns are eajoyina their Sabbath da religious privileges at church or etta.sel, the policeman is In the street, as on other days, doing duty— ' this of course is rmseeesery. It is also true that their duties are daily compelling them to come In rater with vier in its name atrocious forms, while the are ever espied to the temptation of perjury and of bribery, all tending to weaken, and eventually destroy, moral as well r religious feeling. At the same time, nit class in the com munity should prove themselves more trustworthy than policemen as their every day testimony, both in the Polies and Assisi Court, goes to decide the character and destiny 01 numbers of fellow-citixenx If perjury be common among them, which is to be feared it is, then, indeed, the matter is one of fearful importance ; for who, suppose he give offence to one of those gentlemen, is safe 7 The London City Mn. slot have, however, generously appointed two of their agents --one to the Metropolitan force and the other to the City. With the former I am personally acquainted, and I have heard the latter spoken well of by some of the dithers. Still it is evident their usefulness will be extremely limited with out the co-operation or support of police authorities. While I agree with your contemporary in recommending meth eases se Weller to the authorities, it is not only tuseeesary that punishment should be inflicted, but also that some spe cial provision be made for inoulcatinr and extending those moral and religious principles which shall improve the man and become s mote effectual preventive to pirthry than any oysters of punishment, however ingeniously devised or se. verelyialictal.—Ersmora, Dee. 1.

CHOLERA.—On Wednesday and Thursday the Board of Health issued no return of cases; but yesterday a statement was made public of fresh cases repmted from 26th of Nev. to Ist el Dec., both inclusive. By this we learn that in London 19 persons had been attacked by cholera during the days, and that 10 had fallen victims to the disease. From the PrOTIOOOII 45 cases were reported ; 15 of them fatal. From Scotland 89 cases; 38 fatal.—The Board of Health publisher, in last night's Gamete a special notification to captains of merchant ships, steamers, and colliers. It states that after examining many of oar ships at Sonderlaud and elsewhere, Dr. Sutherland and Mr. Grainger have reported that, is consequence of the filthy state of the ships and the inattention to ventilation, and to the common precautions for the prenervati in of the health of the seamen—precau , liens which, to a coosiderable extent, are taken in the royal navy—there is on board the commercial shipping an exces sive amount of sickness and an undue susceptibility to Epi demic disease, both amongst the crews and the pureness. From the whole tenor of the information communicated to the board, it appears that the state of the commercial ship pi“ (at least in the ports examined) has experisteed but it improvement since the former appearance of cholera in 1832. Than follows a series of instructions for trestiog par seas in the various stages of cholera on shipboard. TEN OFFICIAL ACCOUNTS OF TIIE BOARD OF Titus for the mouth eadiar the Bth of November wen pub lished yesterday mom*.

The most cheering fact skews in these returns is the apparent improvement in oar export trade. After, however, the first two months of the present year oar exports , instead of increasing gradually is the usual mum, WI o ff suddenly till they reached ao mutual maximum about the month of July, and thencefor ward they roes slowly towards their former level, which they have at length puma.

LINN /11101L—PURITT OF Emscrum.—Sir,—the met, St Geo. 111., e. 26, enacts that in the event of any sum. bee si the House of Cassems dying dosing the recess, the Speaker, on receiving a certificate of his death, signed by two members of the house, shall forthwith CAM notice thereof to be inverted in the London Gazette, sad eh 11, (oarsmen dins thereafter, issue a warrant to the clerk of the ROWS to make est a writ fer electing a new member in the MOM of the deceased. The object of this enactment is obviously to prevent wades delay in 6 ling up the v.caxey, and the s zereise of undue Mau. nce is the election, fur which delay might tarnish opportunity. The late Lord peorga Bentinck died on the 21st September ; the Speaker's notifistion that the death bas bee* duly certified to him, only appears in this evening's Gazette, two months and nine days subwqoent to the event. Was the certificate withheld so bog in order that arrangements for securing the seat might be made ? For is cannot be suppo,e that the Speaker would imam \Massif to the imputetions that might be founded on his allowing a month or two to elapse between the receipt of the eardleste and the pablicatiuu .1 the notice. The act is WEST RIDING ELECTION. The deputation appointed by tieLeedenteeting, on Wedneedar, have waited upon the committee of Sir Culling Smedley Karam to suggest, accordion to their oanunimion, that the boa. baronet should be withdrawn from the contest, to make way for Mr. Roebuck, but the committee declined to accede to the request of the meeting. The friends of Mr. Roebuck have, however, despatched their requisition to that gentleman, inviting him to become a candidate, but it is not espetred that Mr. Roebuck will comply with their wishes. The requisition was not very numerously signed. Sir C. Bentley and Mr. Denison visited Wakefield yesterday, and addressed the electors, the hon. baronet being introduced by Mr. Bright, M.P. COST OF THE GRENADIER GUARDS AND THE STAFF IN NORTH AMERICA-. The Liverpool Financial orator* have waned another of their papers. They my: The Association do not undertake to my how many officers are sufficient to perform the duties of regiments, nor how wetly to fill the staff appointments at home and abroad; but as there are regimental ofhoers absent from their regiments (or years together, while they receive their full pay end el. lowanoes. as if they were pretest and doing duty, be sides receiving full pay and allowances with speedy promotion for being on the staff, it is clear that the regimental duties can be performed by a leaser number 1 of takers than the number drawing regimental pay. Oa exualling who those office, are that thus become plural- ' ists,it is st mum apparent that pluralities are not maintained, as has been alleged, to give the poorer class of gentlemen a better income or speedier thanes of promotion ; nor, as is also alleged, to reward distiagnithad military merit. We dad the regiment of Grenadier Gesell@ able to per form all the regimental duties in London, while seven of its officers are drawiag pay from it, and pay elsewhere on the staff. Tee mere amount of the pay to individuals is net the question at issue, hat the number of the offices created for individuals. Taking the staff of the Governor-General of Canada, the Earl of Elgin, we find three officers from •he Grenadier Guards, leaving their duty behind in Lon don, but taking their psy with them ; one front the 20th Foot, and one Irons the Rifle Brigade, in like manner with their regimental duty behind and their regimental pay present. First, there ts Ltentenutt-Colonel the Hon. Robert Bruce, brother of Lord Elgia, who draws 265. 9d. per day as a lientenanscolonal of the Grenadier Gelards, shares in various allowances which fall to officers of his rank, and receives pay (the amount not precisely ascer tained) as military seemitary in Canada; where ' also, he his free quarters, a five table, forage for horses, allowance of servants ga d a staff of clerks to do the real duties of the se ineturhip. Second, the Hon. E. Lucas, son of the Earl of Harwood, who draws 16s. 6d. per day, and other allow mimes, as a captain of the Grenadier Guards, and Ps. 6d. per day ae sille-thresamp M the Earl of Elgin, with free quarters, for for homes, &towlines for memento, &c. Third, the Hon. E. A. Egerton, son of the Earl of Ellesmere, who draws 7s. 4d. per day ea a lieutenant of the Grenadier Guards, and 9s. 6d. per day se aide-delrerap to the Earl of Elgin, with tree quarters, forego, servants, &o Fourth, Lord Mark Kerr, brother of the Marquis of Lothian, draws Ils. 7d. as captain from the 20th Foot, and 9s. 6d as aide-de-camp to the Earl of Elgin with free quarters, forage, servants, Sc. Fifth, the Earl of Errol draws lie. 7d. per day as captain in the Rifles, and 9s. 6d. per day as aide-de-camp to the Earl of Elgin, with all the usual allowances. All these are young men who have had ao opportunity of deserving to be thus rewarded, even if their inherent ability were of the highest order. The pay of the Earl of Elgin, as governor-general, is 7,0001_, with some additions. It falls upon the colonial re venues; but, as will be seen, the British taxes bear many burthens to enable the sok:alai revenues to bear such a Ma thes aa that. Next, we have the commander of the forges in Canada, Sir Beoj &min D'Urban, and his gaff of four, three of whom are regimental officers, absent from their regiments. Sir Benja min himself receives 91. 9s. 6d. per day, being 3,4681. Is. 6 dd . per annum, aa commander of the Week 60W. per mown as head *afoul of the 61st Regiment of Foot, and 6401. 7s. 7d. as prate on clothing that regiment-these profits being esti• mated according to the return nude to the order of the House of Commons In 1844, none having been since made. His toilltuy secretary is Capt. Kirkland, of the 20th Foot, who draws 11,. 7d. per day and other allowances from that regiment; 19s. per day as secretary, with forage for hones, allowance foraervaate,house nutolte.;five clerks,one atl2a 64 three at 10e Bd. each ; ono at 7s. 94. per day to assist him ; and two other extra clerks, at 7s. and 6e. 84. respectively, to assist the former clerks, with office-keepers, meurogers, and various other easidants. The first aide-de camp is Major Talbot, of the 43rd Foot, who draws 16s. per day from that regiment, besides allowances; 9s. 6d. per day u aide.de camp, with keep of hones, servants, &a. Second, Sir James B. Alexander, whoa draws 16e. pee day as major from the 14th Foot, with allowances in addition ; and 9s. 6d. per lay as aide.dia.camp, with keep of hones, servants. Third, Cvt, V. Murray, who draws haltpay u a captain, and is paid from other fonds. Next, there is Sir John Harvey, who has 3,0001. per annum as Governor of Nova Scotia, 6001. as head colonel of the 39th Regiment, and from 6001. to 7001. per annum es profits on the clothing of that regiment, according to the returns of 1844. Hie aide-decamp is Lieut. Harvey, of the 34th Foot, who draws 6.. 6d. from that regiment, though he does no duty with it; and 9s. 6d., with free quarters for himself, hones, servants, Ike., at Halifax, as si mp. There is she latitlL Gore, of the 71st Foot, drawing 6e. 6d. Iran that regiment, and 9s. 6d. m aide.de-camp to the Hon. C. Gore, a major-general in Canada; and Major Mane, of the 82ad Foot, drawing 16s. per day from that regiment, and 9e. firl.. as aide-do-camp to Major-General W. Rowan, at Halifax. Then ere also, in Canada and its dependencies, Colonel Wetherell, in receipt of pay es a colonel, and at 19s. per day as deputy adjutant-general, with a number of clerks, town majors, town sergeants, office keepers, clerks to town ma jors, fort sergeants, Re., under him, several of them draw ing pay thrmgh_klie department, while they also hold adios lumber the Ordnance or Commissariat, and draw pay through tam departments.

ORICLIAL EXPENDITURIL—Sir,—The very high there/ter which Lord Harding* has obtained by hie pub tie endue throughout a long coarse of service, will give gnat Winn to say inquiry nn which he may be employed. If, timenthre, the commission of inquiry *kith you ansoance in year paper of the 27th inst. has full powers to inquire into the theme and expenditure of the Ordnance Department, its report will be received with confidence.

A precipitate retreat, OUR REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEM. CHIPPING WYCOMBE.. Down in a deep and narrow valley, among the beech-clad hills of Backs, stands the broad clean street that constitutes the town of Chipping Wycombe. It has the honour of returning two representatives to parliament; having, by a combination of good luck and good management, escaped Schedule B of the first Reform Bill. Tile borough at the present time comprehends the entire parish of High Wycombe, which has a population of 6,500. The registered electors number 399. The election of members forWyoombeprevions tothe Reform Act was vested in the mayor, two bailiffs, and the burgesses. It was a snug constituency of twenty or thereabouts. The sitting members for some fifty years prior to 1831 were Sir John Dashwood King and the lets Sir Thomas Baring. The former was opposed to reform, and, though popular u a landlord, was unpo pular as a politician. At the election in 1831 it was consequently determined to " turn him out." Perhaps there were other reasons. for this change betides Sir John Daahwood's tory principles. In the middle of the High-street at Wycombe is a long blank wall, with a modest-looking little door at one end of it, always kept locked securely. 'This is a private way (only used wheu occasion requires) from the town to " the Abbey "which nestles in " the rooky wood" at the back of it. You would never think, as you walked down Wycombe, that it was through that modest-looking door that one, at least, of the repre sentatives of the borough finds his way from Wy combe to Westminster. "The Abbey" was, years ago, the seat of the Lats. downe family, who take their title of Earl of Wycombe from the town. The present marquis was born there • and in the parish church, hard by, many of his family are buried. They disposed of the Wy combe property in 1798 to Mr. Smith, the grail Lon don banker, who had just been created Lord Carring ton by favour of Mr. Pitt. But in Wycombe the Pettya are still regarded with affection, and the town prides itself on being the cradle of their house. It was the present Lord Carington who ousted Sir John King just prior to the Reform Bill He had sat for the county, with the present Duke of Buckingham, for a &n en years preceding. Bat the period of the Reform Bill was a time when tact was required in managing election matters. Wycombe was to have a new constituency, and who could say how that constituency would go? It was highly necessary they should be conciliated and coated. So the county was handed over to Mr. John Smith, a brother of the first lord ; and the Ho- nourable Robert John, son and heir of the " Abbey," offered himself iu the mast popular manner to the people of Wycombe, and rooted the tories in his first hour's canvass. Sir John King, poor old soul, fled from the town in pale despair. His fifty years' services were forgotten in as many seconds, and all Wycombe fell down and did homage to the rising sun. _ . Five miles from the town of Wycombe there is a small place, of which you may have heard, called " Bradenham." You may meet with men in London who call it " Bradenham Manor," or " Bradenham Park," but these are little affectations, not inexcusable under the circumstances, though scarcely understood by the yeomanry of Bucks. " Bradenham " is a Buckinghamshire village, in which there is an old sort of manor-house, with some fields and garden ground, belonging to a family named Norris. Ths Norrises, going to reside elsewhere, let the place for a hundred a year or so, on a long lease, to Mr. Isaac Disraeli, author of the "Curiosities of Literature," sad oth er works of less considerable reputation. Mr. Dirndl was residing there in 1831, at which time than was lounging about the place his eldest son, Mr. Benjamin, a young gentleman of 28, who seemed to tin his mind to nothing in part'eular but reading the newspapers, and chatting over the political occur rences of the day. One eventful morning, about this period, Mr. Ben jamin Disraeli astonished his family at breakfast by starting a notion that he should like a seat in the first reformed parliament, and that he had written an addren to the people of the neighbouring borough of Wycombe, asking them to do him the honour of electing him their representative. It sounded such a capital joke that all the party laughed outright. But there were various consmerations that owne d to Ten. _ • der the idea acceptable. Mr.Disr. tought a canvass at ti "comae wo ul d give his s on some h thing to do, if it did nothing else. Mrs. Disraeli was, of course, decidedly of opinion that her own boy would make an excellent member of parliament; the young gentlemen of the family thought the affair would be " a capital lark," and the young ladies had visions of franks floating before their eyes, and of quires of correspondence from their " dearest friends,' received post free, under cover to brother Benjamin. The difficulty was how to get into High Wycombe. It was well enough to issue an address, bat some better introduction was wanted than that of the printer. At last a Capt. Hongham (a half-pay lieutenant, who had given himself the advantage of brevet rank) was thought of; and Mr. Benjamin rode over to consult him on the subject. CApt. Hougham had never had. the honour co , introducing a candidate to the town be fore ; and of course was highly flattered by any such application. He adopted Mr Disraeli forthwith, and his address was agreed upon, and sent to paint without delay. It must be candidly admitted that Mr. Disraeli's proceedings on his canvass were fall of promise. No man ever worked harder for su-cem. He was a bold speaker from the first, and with very little practice he became infinitely bolder. For half a century the elections at Wycombe had gone on in a quiet jog-trot sort of way, and when the people had recovered their surprise at Mr. Disraeli's sudden incursion, they began to be charmed with the novelty of the mason, and amused by the untiring perseverance of the candidate. Certainly he did Myra with vengeance. Night kna day he leas al it. If he got a couple of promises a week he appeared to be Natalia. lie seemed to care for no discourage ment& Of course the " respectability " of the to en stood aloof; but he did not mind that. He flattered here and coaxed there, and manoeuvred in another quarter; and every little success seemed to stimulate to new exertion. Mr. Disraeli '• threw himself upon the people," and very soon he became highly popu lar with the multitude. He made them on as average a speech a day, full of highflown phrases and general allesions to liberty which passed muster with the crowd, though the more acute might fancy that this jingle had by no means the " ring " of a pure metal. Mr. Disraeli had a sister who assisted him in his can vass; and she won all hearts. The old party colours of the town had been blue and yellow; he started pink, which being infinitely more becoming, led the ladies to espouse his cause immediately. In the morniogs he attended missionary meetings, and spoke for the "poor African ;" and in the evenings he smoked pipes with the free-and-easy clubs, and danced with the non electors' daughters. His friends appear to have com prised a most miscellaneous company. Mr. Dupre, a Tory magistrate, and Mr. James Clay, the present radical representative of Hull, figured side by side at one of his dinners. Both claimed him as a member of their party, and, no doubt, he had given both good reason to believe that he belonged to them. The truth wee, that Mr. Disraeli was everything to every voter • and it was not ustil they began to com pare notes that they found him out. Had an election taken place sooner, after he started, he would probably have been returned. As it was, delay gave oppor tunity for examination, and he was " discovered." In the midst of Mr. Disraeli's canvass, in anticipa tion of the general election under the Reform Act, an unexpected circumstance occurred. It was no lees than the sudden withdrawal of Sir Thomas Baring from the representation, in order to stand for Hamp shire, where a death had created a vacancy, laving the liberal party in some difficulty as to a candidate. The consequence of this was a single election by the old bur gesses of Wycombe; a great disadvantage to Mr. Dis raelfscause. The candidate who seipeared to oppose him was the Hon. Col. Grey, the Prime Minister's second son and private secretary, who was also connected by marriage with the retiring member for the borough. Col. Grey was successful, and his success has no doubt had a great effect upon Mr. Msrael's subse quent career. When he first started that gentleman went mainly for the government and covered Earl Grey with laudation. Then he came out in what has been since known as a tory-radical. Some one posted a handbill warning the electors to beware of him. " Beware of a tory in disguise." " A tory in dis guise!" said Mr. Disraeli, turning to his opponent, I will tell you who is a tory in disguise. It is—a whig in place." Mr. Disraeli now took up the ballot and triennial parliaments, and very violently declaimed in favour of both. 'fhere was published in the borough at this period a sort of weekly newepiper, with the title of the Wycombe Sentinel, perhaps about as scurrilous a production as ever escaped the notice of his Serene Highness the ex-Duke of Brunswick. Tt e Wycombe Sentinel gave all Mr. Disraeli's speeches in full, and all the speeches of the gentlemen who proposed his health, and paid compliments to " the house of Bra denham." In these papers you will find Mr. Disraeli not only to have spoken generally in favour of what are now denominated radical measure', but to have defended each of them specifically : - - Mr. Disraeli explained how the advantages of the ballot counterbalanced some objection. which might be fairly urged against it. lie supported this omen?e as much against the unenlightened populace as the tyrannical aristocracy, as much against the passions of the many as the prejudice of the few. Respecting triennial parliaments and the repeal of all seemed taxes, he was equally explicit. But it was all of no avail. Somehow or another the electors mistrusted him; and when the contest came on in 1832, Mr. I)israeli was beaten by a majority of 20, and Mr. Robert Smith and Col. Grey were returned. Mr. Benjamin relieved his spleen by appealing to the electors of Marylebone, where a contest was soon after expected which did not occur. We have before as now ids address to " the independent electors" of the borough, dated from " Bradenham House, Bucks, April 9, 1833." We give an extract from it as a curiosity : I claim your support as a mars who .as already fought the battle of the people (!), and as one who believes that the only foundation on which a beneficent and vigorous govern ment in this country can be raised, is an unlimited ,confidence in the genius of the British nation. With this conviction I am desirous of completing the machi nery of the constitution by two measures which will invest the people with a power that was once their birthright; and with aiecurity which I hops their children will inherit. These measures are TRIENNIAL PARLIAMENTS and Election by BALJAT ; and, unless these measures be conceded, I can not comprehend how the conduct of the goverturimet can ever be in harmony with the feelings of the people. Believing that unless the public burdens are speedily and materially I reduced a civil convulsion must occur, lam di sirou. of see ing a parliamentary committee appointed to revise the entire system of our tszation with a view to relieve industry from 1 those incumbrances which property is more capacitated to endure—wadi especially pledge myself to exert all my ener gies to obtain the repeal of the assessed lases, a repeal which from the state of the constituency of your borough, is as seem as a measure of constitutional privilege as of financial reform Such were Mr. Benjamin Disraeli's principles. He only got laughed at. His " unlimited confidence " was evidently infinitely more in himself than in " the genius ef the British nation" (which be very probably considered himself to represait). All would not do. He was thrown back on Wycombe, and at the general election of 1835 he fought another corely contest here with his old opponents, and with precisely the same result—the numbers being, for Smith, 289; Grey, 147; Disraeli, 128. Six years of this man's life may be said to have been lost in his contests at Wycombe. Mr. Disraeli spent a little fortune in Wycombe, and contributed more than any one to make it what it is. After the defeat last recor.led, he desisted from trying his luck in that town. He tried his principles (and something else) at Maidstone, and that immaculate borough " had the honour " of first returning him to parliament in 1837. It is said, however, that even now he looks hack to Wycombe with a longing eye, and se a harbour of refuge against the storms and winds of Bucks. When he becomes a radical leader, as many expect he assuredly will, the electors of Wycombe may possibly confide to him their repre sentative trust. Until that time comes, the private door into Lord Carington's park is not more securely closed than is the door of Wycombe to "Mr. Benjamin Disraeli, of Bradenham." Here drops the certain on Mr. Disraeli. Another day we shall give the second act of the parliamentary history of Wyoombe, with another and a nut lees in teresting set of characters. IRELAND. VUBLIN. Dec 1. It is said that the authorities have got between the horns of a legal dilemma respecting the forthcming ttial of Mr. C. G. Duffy. The Commission of 07er and Terminer in Dublin is always directed to the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, and certain, p revent named therein. The Lard Mayor is a17 01. ,, s nret ent at the opening of the Commissin^ Nc w J r the _ _ Lord May • - will ariaeupon the perste 115 last Saturday we have had. no Lora Mayor of Dublin. To-morrow a new one f'..* the remainder of the year will be appointed, and 2 bi, question to be raised will be whether the comm;Asion should be addressed to the former lord mayor or the forthcoming one, or should these be identical, whether there can be said to be any each civic office.. Hence it is contended that no com mission can ("i this occa s i on b e regulady issued. It should, hemever, be observed that each commission is an adjo,rnment of that which preceded it in each year.
