But in PeddiegMa these who with lbr rebrat have Freest difficulties to Goateed with. The mistily of the inhobitersts are perms who, from their Mr ammasses lib, have no inclination to slop into the wens et a perish contest, and bad rather tolerate obsess thaw Meal& themselves to correct them. Besides, Stews Disease Act, which regulates the number of vote possessed r es l ee reispeyer according to the rent he pays, gives a cartels ef emegusees to, sad is naturally a favourite with, them who pay high rents, and they preponderate I. Ude meta. It is the intention, however, of the association hi which your correspondent 'Hades to mako the attempt te introduce Hobhouse's Act, and I trust they will mussed is it. It you could spare the room, I should like I. you a speciosa or two of the mods Ice the Paddington vestry do things. A ratline& vs• siding in Visabourne-terrace was rated mar the old sweetmeat at 1601. The vestry re-au moll Ida at 2201. The gentleman appealed, but he got no redress, and was told his sire meat was fair sad just. He then joined the association. The vestry now thought it time to pay him some attention, and a deputation accompanied by the parish beadle (to add, I espnase, to their dignity, which, under the eircunistames, they felt to be a little compromised), wss ap pointed to tall epee him. The gentleman happened to be one of the right sort, an independent and honest man. and be told them he was now indifferent whether they relieved him or not, and that she hail enlisted into the association, he inteerled to stick to his colours not merely for his own benefit, but also for the benefit Of his poorer fellow rate payers. The vestry, however, determined to thrust a top dews this gentleman's throat, and they accordingly reduced him from 2201. to 1701. Now, without characterising this proceeding by the name it dwarves, I will merely observe that if this gentleman was fairly sewed at 2201., as the vestry in the first Instance alleged, it was unjust to the other ratepayers to reduce hint ' • and if 1701. wee the fair assess ment, it was unjust to him to refuse his relief until he ✓itually frightened thent into it by joining the essoeistion. I am eclat:tent to Swale on your spate, but I will add one fact, illustrating the manner in which the parish funds are dealt with. When Paddington was separated from Ken sington maim, it was manse, to build a workhouse. One, or at most two, sews would have been amply eufficient for this purpose, but the vestry must needs buy five acme, at 1,0001. an are, and build a workhouse at the additional cost of 12,0001., which will not hold more than 200 paupers ! There is great difficult y in getting at the bottom of this transude's, but it is said and believed to have bees a groat job. —A Id OP THE PADDINGTON PAROCHIAL ASSOCIATION. is neither a cosiameelal aer a market town : Its only trade is among the inhabitants theme :vas, "who live," as ttey say. "on one another." It is oat of any main road, and is a thoroughfare to nowheen ; conse quently it is frequented by nose but a few brothers of the angle, who come down to enjoy sport in the sea son. Its single large hotel is on the ere of being closed. Formerly Marlow had a share of the lam nisaideeteee of the meaty, and there are a few poor women who still work at that machine eoperesded Made. Then was also some work carried on there in what is called " satin-atitoh," i.e., the ma. noisome, of the mums of children's cape, and snob like. But the chief employment of the wretched population at present is wooden skewer making. Everybody has seen the long skewers that butchers me in their shops; they are for the moat part "Marlow manufenture." It is superfluous to point oat what a wretched subsist:mos this mast be; in deed, nothing could be gained at the work at all if' it were not possible to exercise it with extreme rapidity. The prick thorn," or brushwood of which them skewers are made, is, we regret to say, too fre quently plundered. And this species of petty theft of course leads to others of some importance ; so that here, sa even the London police can testify, there is a large proportion of people living on their depreda tions; on sheep-isealing and such other offences as are incidental to a rural population.

As showing the public sympathy in behalf of the charity, it was stated further that, in Nov.. 1841, the number of candi dates was only 21 ; now they are 113.

Marlow though it Maeda Mg he marking the great meta with THE STATE OF THE YILOPEETT.—A third, at least, of the town is the property of Mr. Williams. 116 of, the voters on the register occupy his houses; 33 occupy houses of the Messrs. IfYeatherheads, the brewers ; and 46 are tenants of Sir William Clayton. There are in all five Argots in Marlow, of which only one (the High-street) can be described u even tolerably good. The property in this street is for the most port divided between Messrs. 1 Williams and Wsetherhead. Now there is no doubt but that in any other place than Marlow, many of the houses let in this street would fetch double, and in many oases treble, the rents at which they are at pre sent let. Yet this considerable diminution of value is submitted to. If you ask the Clayton party for an explanation why, they shrug their shoulders "We can do nothing," they say, "against the low rent system." " I sliorild be a fool to vote for your party," says a tradesman to the Clayton canvassers, " and get myself tensed oat of a house which I occupy as yearly tenant, at 81. or 101., and which I would gladly take at 301." But we are speaking here principally of one street : turn into the back parts, atd what do you find there? Handsome houses doled, as is the case with a manor house near the church ; other premises in the most squalid and dreadful condition, as also a place formerly known as the Garrison, which is going to wreck and ruin altogether, without an attempt being made to save it. If you ask the meaning of this you are told, " Oh, we don't want too many voters here : the more you multiply them, the more costly the eleo dons. A BEM man Can always be put on tho liar, but none of your doubtfuls." You inquire, perhaps, how the " sure men" are put on, and you find a curious system prevailing. Two small cottages are knocked into one ten-pound house, and let to "the sure man." He cannot, perh aps, occupy them both himself, but he can take a lodger or two. As for his rent he pays that—it he can : if he can't, he doesn't much mind, for he knows they dare not press him. Sometimes, just before the registratiou, his taxes are in arrear. That is a sad thing; and in his affliction hecommnnicates the circum stance to the agent, who makes a memorandum of it. He is sure to find them paid by the right day; usually by some other member of his tamily. This, upon the whole, is not an unpleasant system to live under, and the Marlow voter fully appreciates it. A few years ago there was a host of these double house voters. A revislog barrister who came down saw through " the dodge," . and swept away many of them; but still a pretty sprinkling remains. The Messrs. NYeatherheed have been mentioned. This family have a large brewing establishment in Marlow—one of the lar ges t, in fact, in England, con ducted aiogle-banded. The senior Mr. Weatherhead has been the architect of his own fortune, and the concern he manages is very potent in the borough. Perhaps there is no town in England which, in pee portion to its population, has so many publie-honsm and beer-shops. In the parish of Great Marlow there we no less than 25 old licensed houses and there are nine more within the limits of the p arliamentary db. triot. The number of beer-shops is nearly 40. Of 'the 34 licensed houses Mears. Weatherhead hold 6 in fee-Ample, and they supply the entire number (with the exception of three) with beer. The influ ence which this must give is palpable. Mr. Weather head (whether he knows it or not) holds the borough at his command. At present his interest is united with that of Mr. Williams; but it is in his power at any moment to turn the scale in favour of the Clay tool. Whilst the two families are eating their heads oft like the celebrated Kilkenny cats, Mr. Weather head is quietly advancing his lines. If you me any little improvement in this borough, be sure it is in his property. And be sure of this also—that wh the ambition or the vanity of a Weather. head makes him wish for a met in parliament, he can have it; and nothing but a coalition of the Clayton, and Williams. can prevent him. When the north and south Pole pay a morning visit to each other— and not till then—we may possibly expect Harley ford Hall and Temple House to cross the Thames and shake hands. THE POLITICAL STATE OF OILELT MAELOW.—ThiS borough has suffered one great disadvantage. For years it has never had a good member or a popular candidate. This may partially account, perhaps, for the circumstance that It is at present worse in every respect than before the Reform Aet. The constitu tes, is less. It was nearly 600 in 1830, it is now about 360, although the boundaries have been enlarged mid the pom within the borough incensed hem 3,300 to 6,400. The constituency never acted tan principle, but it is growing daily more corrupt than it ever was. People are less now foe either • blueor "ooppre,"and infinitely more for themselves.' Influtesoed se it is, it is quite certain that Groat Mee few will gradually become worse and worse, =lees emsething be done. The most obvious remedy seems to be to unite it with the adjoining bo roug h of Chip ping Wycombe, which,together with Mass ow, was in Schedule Bof the fi rst Reform Act for partialdisfren chisement. Those boroughs united, a large electoral district would be obtained, the influencing powers in both would be neutralised, and the electorate (with other sabiguarda) might exercise a free and indepen dent choice. &mum OP Alt ILLICIT DISTILLEST.—Yesterday Mr. B. Thomas and Mr. J. Vanstone, Rule officers, went to a bows in Water-laar, Hackney, and having gained ad mittance at the front door, they proceeded to make an en ansination of the premises, and in the back room on the ground floor found a large copper still, est in brickwork, which had been recently worked off. with • small quantity of illicitly-made spi ri ts. The rest et the working[ bad been removed by the men belonging to the place. There were about 100 gallons of ssolames wash prepared for distillation, • number of tubs, pipes, ant the general stock-in-trade of a contraband distillery. Two females were toned in the bows, who gave the names of Pecehe West and Ann Brown, the latter of whom was recognised ee an old offender, having been detested in a sinsir transacts= in 1847, when she suf fered three months' imprisonment ; both women were given into custody. While the Excise °Meer, were in the house prepanag to despatch their tem ore to the Rieke warehouse', a gentle tap was given at the doer, which was opened, and • man best Aim a beg of admire entered, who woe oleo given Vchirp. white paint. It la ups the ordnance estimates them neat costs are charged, se, also, all the bedding, barrack furniture, sad barrack emoursodation of the army. The ordnance is also charged with the expense of manufacturing arms, accoahernents, ammunition, sad a considerable part of the coutaisearist sad medial staff, but not ill. The navy esti mates, in like manner, are charged with the expenses of tho troop-ships in which the land foram ere conveyed Rem home to foreign Medea., or from colony to colony. Again, the estimates for colonial expenditure include go vernors, who are paid as such, and who also receive pay as to their rack la the army ; who, bridge having aa eetablieksent of secretariat, maistasts, clerks, and other servants allowed them by the vote for colonial expresses, have the same secretaries, clerks, and somata, or smelter set, or partly another set, paid oat et the army estimates, node: the head of " foreign *tam" while again that foreign staff, the military neretuies„ aides-de camp, to., are paid twice— first, ss regimental offloers—wand, as staff; and some of them a third time, as colonial pablie servants. In like ensnare the inedioal staff, and most of the store keeping sad garrison staff in the colonies,. and occasionally at home, are charged on the army and on the ordnance esti. mates ; or, when this is not the ease, two sets, and at times three ems, of medical, storekeeping. garrison keeping, book keeping, and working staff, are retained and paid, where one set is saddest for the duty required. It is for these and similar reasons that the Financial Re form Association have clamed the army, ordnance, commis sariat, navy, and colonies together. They beerech the patient attention of tee public while they go through those multi farious and complicated items of public expenditure. They b.pin with the pay of the army ; they will end with the military and commercial statistics of the colonic*, showing what tease us absorbed by, and what commercial advan tages are gained from, oar military colonial rystem.

The et by whom the clothing is provided me, in most instances, general officers, who obtain the head reloaded,' of regiments to provide the clothing u a matter of trade and profit ; they are, in the most literal seam of the expression, dealers in clothes. When a reg 4 mint goes abroad, becomes sickly, and is thinned by death, the clothing colonel to whom it belongs, and who remains at home, pockets the money_ not required for deed or sick menu his own emolument. It Is mid to be a matter of considerable interest to the clothing colonel of a regiment to know, when it is ordered abroad, whether it be going to a station where men live well or die fast. In cues where regiments seldom go abroad, the allowances are more liberal, to make up for loss of profit on deficient numbers. Also in eises where the clothing must be of good quality special allowsnoes &remade for absence of the profits arising from the clothing of bad quality. The clothing colonel of the Grenadier Guards, the Duke of Wellington, has 1,0931. allowed in Hsu of profit This ie in addition to his profits for furnishing the Rifle brigade with clothes. Both auras of income are in addition to 161 Ba. 9d. per day, as oommenderin chief; in addition to 7501. per annum for forage for his hones. And all those toms are in addition to 21. lls. 114. per day as Governor of the Tower of London, which is an office with no duty, and es Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports, for which he has 3,0001. per eAatIM. It is also necessary to remark, that the airtime provided by the colonel ere only a part of what the soldier wears. All linen, flannels, hosiery, shoes, forego cape,stocks, brushes, combs, and email articles, besides, at least, one pair of cloth overalls for dragoons, and, ccasionally, trousers for infantry are provided by the quartermaster and his chief, the clothing colonel, and paid for out of the soldier's pay, by daily etoppages. The profin sionning from these regimental clothes shops, afford an inducement to the heads of that department of the service to be anntinually devising changes in the style of dna, of underclothing, of boots, of shoes, and the other neeemeniss, so that the men are obliged to purchase new addle, and admit to stoppages in payment of them, while the astiries set aside and declared to be unregimental, ere yet ingoodiontdition—in many cases not half worn. I The third and fourth items of the clothing experditure, MOW. and 3,0001., provide for cases where the clothing missal b likely to be out of pocket; and the fifth item etto *over the extra expenses of scarlet trowsers for is * Hussars, and the conceits of one or two other fancy 961111:1 department of the army expenditure is : Auowswczs iron Pzovutioxs.—First we have " Allow snots in aid of regimental messes, 19,0001." The private sol dier provides all his extra clothing, and muses himself out of Is. 14. per day. But besides the many table allowances, field allowances, &0., which we shall hereafter meet, here Is a coned sum of 19,0001. in aid of the offioers' regimental memos. Next we have " Table allowance for officers on anent at St. James's and Dublin Castle, 5,0041.55. Bd." The soldiers who mount those guards carry their rations with them, or have them carried from the barracks in their mess-tins. It is presumed that the officers on guard, who are always young 'shalt/me, having something to learn, would not take any harm if they had their dinners cut at the club, and sent to them as dinner is sent to other soldiers; at all events, they cannot be allowed to dine on guard at the public expense. The next item in the estimates for the current year IS "Special and temporary personal allowances to officers at St. Helena, on account of the high prices of prortrions, 1,0001." Total for prOVitiOni, 26,00 G. 5 Bd.

The meeting of the corporation yesterday was attended with some interest, on account of the discus sions relative to the candidateship of the Lord Mayor. Under the act constituting the reformed corporation there is no provision made for such a use as the pre sent, and it was nerally believed that Mr. Dunne did not necessarily vacate his position as Lord Mayor. This turns out, however, to have been • bad impression, for by the amended Municipal Act, the 6 & 7 Vic., c. 93, mac. 5, provision is made with reference to the contingency that het just h a ppened. In consequence of this there was a meeting of the friends of Mr. Dunne, members of the town council, on Saturday night, and the course they decided on was, that a proclamation be issued for the election of a town councillor for St. Patrick's ward, in the room of Mr. Arabia, whose name is this year removed from the burgess rolL This election will be held on Thursday, and on Friday the council will proceed to elect a lord mayor fir the remainder of this year, when it is sup. posed that Mr. Dan ne's re-election will not be opposed. The council having assembled yesterday, appointed Alderman O'Brien, M.P., to preside, and the non-elec tion of Mr. Dunne and his consequent vacation of the dace of Lord Mayor, having been announced, the WEST RIDING ELECTION.

OUR REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEM. SCOTLAND. Eoutookon, Nov. 28. A Finance Reform Association has been formed in Edinburgh—the new Lord Provost, Mr. Johnston, appearing at the bead of the provisional oommit:ee. The movement originated with Mr. W. Chambers, and every effort will be made to keep clear of general politics. As yet, however, few of the old whig party have joined, and scarcely any of the conservatives; the list accordingly is for the most part made up of those who voted for Mr. Cowan, or who are dissenter!, but there cal be no doubt that when the association is fully formed it will become a strong body, and will so extend its influence as to bias, if it do not abso lutely control, our elections. Mr. Lefevre has left Edinburgh, having fulfilled his mission in gathering information about the annuity tax and the fishery board; but there are grumbling' about the way in which he has done both, tho annuity victims complaining that he did not take parol evidence ; and the fish-carers that he did not personally visit the localities where the operations of the board are carried on. At a meeting at Stranraer, to oppose the endow ment of the Romanist priests, the following reso lutions were agreed to: That It Is the duty of all protestant dissenters to make preparations be meeting such a measure with the most determined, united, and persevering opposition. whenever, and by whomsoever, it may he submitted and that this opposition be Mewl, not on the principle i embodied n the to Popery cry, hut on the principle of antagonism tP all state endowments of tension, which we believe to be so ' infringement of the crown right. of the Redeener, the only divinely constituted king of thechurch. That, en preparatory them towards exciting and directing, In this locality, an effective opposition to the contemplated measure, those now ;event eatemnly engage to meet Bothers, from time to time for consultation; and that the co-eiticrthon agreeing in the general and vital principles already 113 forth, be also respectfully invited. TOM, if the threatened measure I shall, as Is generally mooted, be announced during the next session of parliament, this meeting stand. pledged to request, immediately thereafter, a public meeting of their fellow-subjects within the burgh and its vicinity, for the purpose of expressing, in accordance with the principles embodied in the foregoing resolut'oor, their determined op million to the obnoxious meanie, and of forwarding an earnest peti tion against it to both houses of parliament. Another ecclesiastical matter deserving mention is that the Duke of Bucclench has consented to the erec tion of a free church at Wanlockhead. Mr. Macaulay has accepted the rectorship of Glas gow Univer.ay, and has written the electors that he will visit the western metropolis about the new year, for the purpose of being installed. Lord J. Russell, it will be recollected, never had time to go through this ceremony, and his supposed indifference was pro bably the cause of his not being re-elected. ENDOWMENT OP THE ROMAN CATHOLIC PRIEST- Room—A large meeting of dissenting clergymen and lay min was held in Glasgow, on Tuesday, for the purpose of oppcning the proposed endowment of the Roman catholic pun/dhow:l, and also in opposition to existing endowments of every . description. Mr. A Hsttie, M.P. for the city, was called to the chair. A series of resolutions were proposed by the Rev. Drs. Eadie, Wardlaw, Taylor, Anderson, an other gentlemen, in lengthened sp eeches. in which they com mented in the strongest terms upon the opinions of the church of Rome. Resolutions were unanimously passed against endowments of every kind, but especially against that likely to be proposed fur the support of the Roman catholic priests in Ireland. It was resolved that a memorial, founded on these resolutions, should be transmitted to government. ALLEGED FASHIONABLE SWTNDLINCL A person has been apprehended in Edinburgh on a charge of forgery, who (krill the hot few months mixed freely in the higher circles of society there, and lived in a fashionable and expensive style at one of the principal hotels in the city. It appears that he had assumed high military rank, and had extensively patronised various establishments, chiefly clothiers and mer cers, from whom he obtained a large supply of articles, at first by paying cash down for the goods he purchased; but having succeeded in establishing his credit, he then trans acted business upon a more enlarged scale, and suddenly left the city without settling the numerous claims against him. The immediate cause of his abrupt departure was, however, the discovery of a forgery of which he had been guilty, for limited sum, the person whose name he employed being at present on service in India. He was traced to Hull, and , having been apprehended there through a telegraphic mes cage transmitted thither by the superintendent of police here he has been conveyed to the gaol in Edinburgh. PROVINCIAL. TRICKS UPON 'ritAVELLERB. —A sea captain, a debtor in Lancaster Castle, awaiting his release by the opera tion of the Insolvent Act, thus narrates to the editor of the Liverpool Mercury, the cause of his being so situated. He was on board his ship preparing for as., when " • gentle manly man" stepped down the companion, and entering his berth, displayed some samples of cutlery of a tempting ap pearance and cheap price. An crier was obtained from the captain for 101. worth of these goods, and an invoice being drawn out in the order-book, it was'signed as such by the unwary victim. " The next day," continues the captain, " a cab stopped at the dock side, from which three parcels were carried on board by a gentleman who strongly impor tuned the mate to give a receipt for them, assuring him that all was right, showing him the order s4ned by me, and the invoke amounting to 781. 7s. 6d. The mate stoutly re fused, as he heard me stating the previous day that I had only 101. or 121., and could not pay for soy more. The goods, however, were left without a receipt in despite of him. When I next saw my esteemed friend, I found his extreme courtesy had undergone a very considerable abatement, the kind and gentle blandishments of yesterday had given place to the stern end inflexible rules of business to-day. He bad an entire oblivion of my limit of 101. or 121., and he showed me my own undeniable signature to the order.
