OUR REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEM. TOTNEBS.—(CoNct.onec.) It wee the last thing in the world to be desired by either tory or whig in Totnees, that the proceedings of the Blount and Barry-Baldwin contest should be come the .abject of parliamentary enquiry. It was in every point of view far too serious a matter Tor that. Neither party could afford to visa the exposure; and the borough itself would have stood a fair chance of disfranchisement under it. So when the double return was made. the question on both sides was, how could exposure be best avoided P Parliamentary counsel are the most knowing fel lows in the world. There is nothing that they cannot manage. where parties are not over obstinate, is the way of getting them oat of a serape. On this OCCIINOII they luckily discovered, just at the nick of time, that there was "a flaw" by which the election war vitiated entirely. The mayor ought to have all awed an interval of a cer tain number of days between the proclamation of the writs and the election. Ile bad done so ; but one of the days allowed was a Sunda —dire non. Instead, therefore of proceeding to attack each others pull, the part. s proceeded to attack the acts of the returning officer; and the poor mayor, who had related to give a outing vote, in the amiable desire to be particular! now " *offer( d martyrdom from both eke.," to both sides declared t' at he deserved. The oommln.ee, in a few hours, declared the mayor's pro eeedir gd alt Roller and reported to the house that the diction was null and void. A new contest was as little agreeable to the two partite priccipally concerned as had been the pros pects t.t parliamentary enquiry into their acts and deeds. ne hotter) Waned to the sheriff of the county ol I). v. It Fl ~ /-w writ for the cl.cli"n of a burgess to serve in ariiam-nt for the borough of Totnese. The sheriff sent an officer to serve the writ upon the mayor ; but the mayor was not to be found.

Everybody wantad a little , asp ef somthift, bat there seemed to be no autho r els whatever to keep the top ea the tarn. It be. came quite evident that, if the candidates w ere I awl/ again at all, they were neither of them coming Iselll they were obliged. At last Mr. Barry Baldwin ' male his appearance. He did not look by any means in Nish high feather as before : few men do who have jest spent from 5,0001. to 6,0001. for nothing. He boasted uifinitely less of his Irish estates; on the contrary, he delicately apologthed for hie absence on the ground that he had bad " several matters to arrange " before he left London. It wen evident, to use the plusaeology of " the ring,* that he had re ceived " a staggerer." Where was Mr. Blount? A large party of the orsagemob waited on the Loodoe ro a d day and night to receive him, bat he did not come. His canstiteents Bret grumbled, and then openly &baled him. He re plied-by haters to them kindly and courteously, bat he gave no maim Irby he stayed away. No one in Tatum knows to this day what were hie motives, sad 411 that is eaggested is that he bad received a gentle hint that he weld not get in without damaging the Seymour interest very materially. Mr. Blount paid his bills—it is said nearly s,oool.—and left his oppo nent to win if be ould. Tie Reform Club, however, were meshed not to Ist the tura fall into tory hands in that quiet way if they odd help it. 1840 was no time for the whige to Mae a vote. So they sent down a man to fight the teem—young Mr. Osborne. The same seines that W occurred a mouth before were repeated : the fight promised to be as desperate in its circumstances, and as close in its result. The scale, however, was turned upon this occasion by a knot of truly iodepen- I dent men. There are chartists at Tetuan de voted readers of the /IWsern Star, and no doubt shareholders in the Land Company. At the election between Blount and Baldwin, these chartists had bees mighty difficult to please. They had reposed no meditate in either candidate, and had cross-quer tined them in private and in public until both par ties wished them at Jericho. Ultimately some had vital one way and some another, for what reasons 'shady knows. Bat on this second occasion they ceeld not be got to make up their minds at all. It was impossible to satisfy them. " Would 501. do it— come ? " "Vu there hanyven hinfamous henuff to suppose that hiudependent men vould sell their privilege as free Britons, for a matter of fi ft y plod?" The chartists held out till the last moment. At the last moment the whole bunch of them voted for Baldwin, and that gentleman was returned by • majority of 7. The chartists, immediately after the election, began to exhibit signs that they were prospering in life. One of them opened a banker's account in the town, very much to the banker's surprise, with a deposit of 1251. Another took a public-house. and palu about the same sum of money as a premium. But it has been since remarked (and let this be a lesson to , voters everywhere) that not one of them prospered or , did welL The publican's house was soon shut up. The man who had lodged his money at a banker's looked out one morning from his window, and found the bank was shut op too. These two elections and their attendant proceedings are estimated to have cast Mr. Barry Baldwin a mat ter of 8,0001. It must be a large Irish estate indeed, that will stand this. Some people in the town had " promised " to subscribe towards the expenses, but it was Mr. Baldwin had some help. Some parties con- , oerned in a joint took bank then existing in Totems, , but which has since closed its doors, lent certain of his friends for electioneering purposes a sum of money, the application of which wen not closely looked into. It was a long long time before the , individuals concerned got beck the ash. They did so at last, bat not without more "to do" in various ways than is quite p'essant to think about even vow. i The frightful feuds and party warfare which sprung up in the town in consequence of these elections have not ceased to exist, and are scarcely aba'ed in their intensity to this hour. There was nothing which was I not seized on as a subject of party fight. Even Charity, which usually der ends with ,arch benignant graoe . on those who deserve and need her aid, was here invoked to minister to party purpose". Nothing caused more continues in the town than the case of an old blind man named Welsh. This Mr. Welsh was an elector, and had always been a whig. He was ' anxious to obtain a pen sion from the benevolent fund known as He th eriagers s Charity for the Bli ad, which is administered by the governors of Christ's Hospitals He made some interest with his owa political trends to secure the accomplishment of his object, and this coming to the knowledge of the tories, they thought to 181161111 hie vete by getting Mr. Baldwin, who lea ; want of the hospital, all th e credit of securing the ; men the peeks. If you believed what the tories said at the time, you would be perfectly astonished at the Maar sad trouble Mr. Baldwin underwent in this fatty, and at the enormous sum be spent in =penny steamboats from Westminster to to attend the committees and courts in A pension of 201. a year was granted re e7 ll l, 4belik emd Mr. Trollops,, the hospital-clerk, wrote ' him a letter, sowing him in a postscript that "it was solely and entirely through the influence of Mr. Barry-Baldwin that it was secured! Welsh, bow- I ever, was not to be humbugged out of his vote. With the Pertiaacity which is often peculiar to the blind, he insisted on plumping far the whig. A very . short ; time after he had done so, he received a letter inform- , ing him that hie name was struck off the list of pen- Sours upon Hetheriogton's charity ! It appears that the recipients of that charity must not be persons pos. sassing more than 201. a year. Welsh's theme war ISM a year, the proceeds of an annuity ; bat he was also in weekly receipt of a trifle from a benefit club ; to which he had subscribed in his more prosperous days. Thepresident, treasurer, and almoners of Christ's I hospital, in full court assembled, having had this fact laid before them, were induced to tame to the j conclusion that Welsh mad got upon the list by frau- deka misrepresentation, and they struck him off (after the election) ignominiously ! The liberal party in Totness certainly gave Mr. Baldwin a severe blow in making him fight two un- I expected battles for the seat. He had scarcely been fixed in it a year, when the general election came. Mr. Edward Petro and Mr. Teed, the Cheatery bar rister, cams down and 4:summed the town with Lord Seymour est the lord of the Curators " Sn ap.* Beim the polling, however, they both gave way, Lord Seymour and Mr. Baldwin were elected neeppiteed. The ind ep endent party in Totness cannot to lids hour be induced to believe but that this electiou was arranged, and that the two members who WON volumed got in by a compromise. Lord Seymour imaiss it stoutly ; hut the town will not be lieve his; and at the last election (1847) so unpopu lar was the noble candidate in cone gamut of this prevailing impression, the he was pelted upon the hustings for what the people called seilinu his party. The last election was a curious one. Mr. Baldwin lad escaped in 1841, but the liberals were determined to give him a turn now. They brought a new man and a wealthy one into the field—Mr. Sampson Ricardo. Mr. Baldwin wax very lachrymose at the time of Mr. Iticarde's arrival,` frankly admitted to his friends that, " in the re state of the share market," he had not much to spare. Mr. Baldwin found his secu rity, however, where perhaps he least expected it. Mr. Ricardo stood upon parity principle, and would not bribe. A comparatively small • xpenditure would probably bare won his election ; bit he would use none of those means, and Mr. Baldwin's " linneys" consequently carried him. It wan a close contest, how ever, as it wax, the numbers being—fa Baldwin 154, Ricardo 151. It woe anticipatedt hat the numbers would ;have been i qualoind so they would have been bat teethe bad faith of a voter. A man who hrd ab-en'ed himself ' from the town in consequence of d. he, was found out and canvitas.d for Ricardo near !." , dun, and having promised to go down to vote,gred nosey to pay the expsaties of hie wee. two farmers, a fa th er and ma wew il e g le . also triads ci Ricardo, when f it was sa their ge= s ageat, sakes d rili sonleg they we re oscies d the hos= i o required.

Ourston• is an empty house, and Mr. Beldwin's visits to his 000stituents have become more and mere rare as the different " boards of directors" have required his auusdanee. This gentleman, is the mum of his connexion with the town, has effected the single oldret of making Tetsuo; en expensive borough. In 1833 Mr. Parrott's election cost him leas than 381.; in 1840 the money spent at the two amulets was sot lees than 14,0001. l The town is stet the batter for it; on the contrary, it is • vast deal wane.

New " linneys" spring up in nilliffoollll hem at every succeeding registration. Desperate attempts have been made to strike some of them off, on the ground of "insufficient valise," but the evidence (as it invariably is upon such points) has been very conflicting, and the barrister is always in land to. o construe the act liberally and give the ester the benefit of the doubt." Usually the " voters are sons of tenants of the duke, or of tradesmen in the town, or are labourers era some adja swat estate—" sets men" any way. They nasally let out the " limey " to some one in or near the town who keeps cows —so that milk and batter are cheap in that quarter, and you need not be surprised at finding "clotted cream "on very humble tables. l'he system is one, however, that it is high time to put a stop to; and parties in the town are beginning to entertain that impression dressily. Among the mom respect able inhabitants of Totnem yon will find a lively sense of the indignity of their position, and an earuest de sire to me a change! The refixes suggested is to unite Tomer with Dartmouth and Ashburton, two small neighbouring boron ha, each returning a single member, and to include them all in an elec toral district with Torquay, Newton Bushell, and perhaps one or two adjacent places of small popula Lion. This would give a constituency sufficient in number to aeutralise the influence of the " limey " voting. Until this change is eft cted, Totting, we fear, must remain a borough subject to all the bed influences of our electoral system—territorial influ ence, corrupt Influence. and manufactured vote influ ence in ens of its moat flagitious forma. INDIAN WHEAT IMPORTED INTO ENGLAND A correspondent cf a morning paper thus writes on this subject A ship having just brought a cart) of wheat from Bombay to London. the opportuni y meats favourable for making some observations on a subject of nearest. Al. most ever/part of India has the advantage of two annual barmen The one sown shout June, or at the beginning of the rainy season. is reaped at its conclusion. It consists ol tits 1611010 corn, jar—'he " dorm" of the Arabs, several millets, among others that called Italian millet, numerous palms, nom nearly allied to haricot beans than to any, Wing else known in this country. The spring. or dry mason, har vest is sown in Octi.ber, when the rains have tossed, and is reaped in Febraery or March. The crop* consist of wheat, barley, and common millet. Some Europeans cultivate oats. Beans, peas, lentils, chin pea, snit ; igen pea are also cult rated, with other pulses ofthe germs Moro!' a, the same to which the French ben belongs. Thereon, therefore, a peat variety of canals and pulses for toed, and some can be spared for esprit. Wheat is by many considered specially a p *duos of Europe, but we are indebted for this, as for many other plants to the East. It is probably a native of the elevated region whin stretches from Affghanistan to the Caspian, as it was cultivated by the earliest civilised nations. Its Hebrew name chitin, is considered to he the same as the Arabia *latch, and similar, in mond at least, to the English when. From the elevated Persian melon, this plant has travelled sorb into Europe, and south into India, where it as gray be cultivated In the cold winter months, bot is ego very iseptely. The Agricultural Society of India petitioned parliameot, slat the year 1843, for the privilege of sending wheat to Oren Britain, on the same terns as bad already been conceded to Canada. The society eacertained, from laquiries circulated mow is samnbars, that wheat 000ld be landed in Calcutta at from 1 rupee to 2 rupees 12 num per mound of 821 b. from different toads One Bengal residency ; the cheapest being from the how ;provinces, not oely 06 6000110 t of their rill oily, bat ales trim the cultivation being cheaper, in con signing* of the facility of intrados from the retuning imandatism, especially on the hanks of rivers.

In June, 1847, two kinds t f wheat, which were than owe years old, were shown to an experienced eorn factor. He immediately pronounced them to he of fine quality, and valued the sof: kinds at SOL, and the lard at 80s. the quarter.

IRELAND. D.C. 24. A fire which at one time threatened very serious 000segosnces to property occurred last night. It was first observed at about Ile, p.m., in the large stables is Backirille-place, belonging to Mrs. Purcell, widow of the late Mr. Peter Purcell, the great ooach pro priet or. The stables contained over 60 horses, be sides a large quanety of corn in the extensive grana ries attached. the whole being situate in the rear of the Imperial Hotel, opposite the General Post-office. The fire originated from the carelessness of one of the men employed abort the ambits, who, having left a light burning in one of the stalls, the flame communicated to the litter, and from thence to the hay in the rack, whence the lofts were soon in a blue. The whole of the stable range was consumed, and all the hay and straw, together with an immense quantity of harms& The granaries were saved with their contents; and fortunately the exer tions made prevented the fire from communicating with the adjoining premiers, which lie very thick upon each other, both in Marlborough-street and Earl street, as well as in front. A lady, resident in Kingstown, the daughter of one of our most enterprising citizens, was found dead in her room this morning; it is said she was burned to death.

Of these writers the pictures are very vivid, and their design has the originality and forma not the truth of Michael Angelo. But for the philosophy which is supposed to lurk beneath, and which the professor un derta kes to ex pound, we cannot say much. And, we fear, that were it clearly and nakedly laid before us, instead of being doled out in parables, and eked out in phrase, we should find it very poor trash. Miehelet, for exam ple, is a very forcible And picturesque historian, but we are inclined to think that the ground, the sub stratum of all his phrameologic embroidery is—non sense. Mr. Macaulay's style is a very good admixture of the philosophic and the picturesque. He does not over load us with the one, or overstretch our fantasy with the other. Neither does his philosophy affect the profound or the transcendental. It is that of the every day world of common sense and sane judgment. And another characteristic is, that it is English. Most of our historians, indeed, have been decidedly foreign in spirit. They have been French, or German, or ultra , montane, or, what is just as bad, they have been anti•Gallican. Mr. Macaulay is thoroughly English, sometimes, indeed, narrowly so. But the tault is a good one, nd a rare one. Some of the finest things in the language are Mr. Macaulay's sketches of persons. We allude not I merely to those in the present history, but to those in the Edin'urgh Reniew—the brilliant cartoons of Clive and Warren flutings, which Raphael in his art has no more than Nestled. Who shall forget the portraiture of Nuncotnar ? That of Jeffries, in the p resent volume, is almost as good. Titus Gates requires a little more finish to take its place beside them. The noblest effort of the work, indeed, is the bold and unsparing truth with which Mr. Macaulay has gibbeted James the Second, with his Chief Justice, his courtiers, nay, the " maids of honour," strung around him. A more disgusting picture of humanity, or a more forcible one, was never drawn than of this king and his satellites by Mr. Macaulay. With his own limning before his eyes, how could Mr. Macaulay exclaim, in one of those little bursts of conventional morality, which blemish his pagee, and which seem to ask pardon of " high life for so pitilessly exposing it—how could Mr. Macaulay write : " In every age the vilest specimens of human nature are to be found &monist demagogues r' Why, Mr. Macaulay disproves his own assertion. Where, in the annals of demagogues, are characters of such corrupt, disgusting, and cold•blooded villany to I be found as Mr. Macaulay has sketched from a court ? I Is not Fouquier4inville • lamb, compared with Chief- Justice Jeffries ? Is not Robespierre after all a man of more character and principle than James the Second? Mr. Macaulay is, however, too fond of portraiture. And his history is often made to descend to that secondary class of painting, which Copley and others excelled in, that in which excellence of the portraits is the chief merit, and where, conse quently, the historic interest of the canvas or its subject is null. What do we want with full-length portraits of Penn and Dangerfield, and of others whom three intEstinct lines could very well indicate in the back ground, but whom Mr. Maminlay thrusts into the ver y front of the canvas, sparing us not a fold or a haw. Nay, even great even's, such as the expeditions of Argyle and Monmouth, though replete with all the interest of romance, are too minutely 'old. They trench upon the memoir, and trivialise history. If two volumes are thus to be spent on five years, when, and through how many volumes are we to arrive at events still "in the memory of men now living?" Whilst engaged in mentioning faults, let us observe that the third chapter of the first volume is not at all to our taste. It is that devoted to • sketch of the lighter characteristics of the age. There is not a man in England that could have written any one of Mr. Macaulay's other chapters. There are • hundred men in London that could have written Mr. Macaulay's third chapter better than he. It is what is called light writing ; in this Mr. Macaulay is no adept. And the whole thing is like the gallop of a good stout Flanders horse ever the course at Newmarket. Much and generally as we admire Mr. Macaulay's philosophy, there are many points on which we would willingly break a lance with him. He gives, we think, far too much credit to the church in the middle ages. For instance, he attributes to the church the raising of the lower orders from villeinage. Now we rather think that the church tightened the bonds of villeinage. The church certainly sided in raising the lower class throughout Europe from downright slavery to the superior state of serfdom. But the church laboured then and since to keep the peasantry in a permanent state of serfdom or villeinage. And when the military aristocracy sought to raise the villeins, by making warriors of them, the church resisted, and passed laws to the effect that serfs should remain serfs, and should not become freemen. Pages, that will probably give many readers pain, are those which describe the low social condition of the clergy (p. 327, &c.). We cannot think this owing either to the rebellion or the reformation. In fact, it is one of the principles of the catholic religion, to have ecclesiastics of all ranks, Dome of the claw; of peasants and on a level with them. To have eccle siastical leaders, and men who by their lives and examples might influence the lower classes, and have more influence by being of the same class and having sympathy with them, was one of the necessities of the age, in which th" population were broken into castes. But how surround this inferior order of ecclesiastics with respect ? This was a pro blem attempted to be solved by enjoining the :ell= the clergy, and by the encounigement of ms These instentions were devised preeieely to prevent that state of things described in the pages to which we have alluded, in which during the then pre valence of feu dalism. the lower order of seas elastics were so likely to merge in that of the upper class of domestics. The Church of England still savours of the old anomaly. It has got rid of the lower order of ecclesiastics, and thus lost its bold of the humbler classes. It requires that every clergyman should be a gentlemsa, with a =ally education. And yet it still retains the old diatribe,- lion of emoluments, as if the inferior order of clergy ' still existed. It allots 401. a year to • curate, who is by caste and education removed from the people, atd by his means segregated from the gentry, which produces the decirunt, but loses all the nets and in fluence of the religions office. On thie point, Mr. Macaulay's philosophy either goes too far, or does not go far eeough. We must here, however, interrupt our remarks, to resume them at a future opportunity.
