IT is difilcult to soy whether the airtime of Ireland have been most mimed by the Irish and popular party, for whose good they were inOltated, or by the several governing partite of the empire who Dave, by turns, conceded, withheld, restricted, exaggmated, and onaprombed those liberties, according as the humour of the times or their own interests required. Take all the eminent men of the three aristocratic parties in tle.co state, and you will find that they have all battled and stickled for Irish liberties at certain periods of their career, merillesd and made light of them at others. Irish liberty is a shuttlecock, at which the big boys of St. Stephen's Chapel have played time out of mind. blab liberty is the most convenient plaything or weapon in the whol? armoury d par li am entary pastime. When a inintstry is in the height of arrogance and power, it is a good spear so a t them, or lay so that they may tumble ever it. a ministry is weak, it has a =smile= mace, wherewith to knoer : v o l a t their brains. Whig and tory have upset each other with clamour, for abetting Irish treason, or provoking Irish revolt, each party at the very time laughing outright at the serv ed and absurdity of the very t which as its most powerful weapon. °VII:: debates have we not had about coercion bills, and Lichfield-house compacts ? What dirt-flinging and vituperation between parties, which, for all their wrath, had neither meaning in their words, nor sincerity in their votes, and which by their sephildry and hollowness, have rendered Irish and English politico with regard to them, one of the grows= systems of humbug that ever duped two intelligent nations. Nor have the Irish themselves been leas insincere, lees ready to use their liberties for personal and party aggrandisement, or to barter and suspend them as in trigue prompted at expediency dictated. O'Ccustnitt indeed had, during the greater part of his career, much higher aims; he understood agitation, and what it was worth. He well knew the value of Irish liberties, not for the peaceable development of a =entry rieh in it resources, but as the means of wringing from English ascendancy bit by bit of that full equality and freedom which English prejudice will not part with, yet the refusal of which maims English strength, and perpetuates Irish misery and aversion. This sacred store of grievances, how ever, which O'Coicesu. would have hoarded and turned to profit, Young Ireland has flung away. Instead of coming, as in former years, to parliament with the spectre of Irish dis affection and menaces behind them, to fright the governing classes et England into conces sion, Irish violence in 1849 is a mockery—lrish tur bulence a farce. Ministers disdain even to think of a concession to Ireland, artless the necessary measures for preventing its electoral body from oxpinug of paucity be considered a concession. The poor•law committee is evidently a spar flung out to the sinking landlords. But no real concession to Ireland is dreamt of this year. The Irish party, indeed, have as little thought of anything of the kind as the government. They ask nothing, propose nothing. Their brains are as empty as the ministerial portfolios. All they can do is to perorate against the habeas corpus sus pension, without holding out an alternative or show ing the liberal English members how they can help Imue4 For our part we think it of very little consequence whether the Habeas Corpus be suspended or not in Ireland for the next six months, except in so far as that it is a very bad precedent. And indeed any measure or ricirne, that would save Ireland from a resuscitation of the tomfoolery of last year, must be a gain even to Irish liberalism itself. The House of Commons seemed, indeed, to feel this. And the debate turned less upon Ireland, its liberties or its wrongs, than upon the mutual recrimination of the three aristocratic parties, each of which accused the other two of having been as crooked, and incon stant, and inconsistent, and Ilishoneet, upon Irish poli tico as it was possible to be. It was a "'sachem and Leckie scene, in which one Prime Minister accused another of turning him out under false pretences ; whilst the other excused the desertion of his princi ples by alleging that the Irish members had elan dolled theirs. We really can see no inference to be drawn from these recriminatiene, except the casein mon, that no one is entitled to the ;wit credit when speaking of Irish affairs. Ireland , in r u t 4 . and has been, and will be • "" = - parlinniVits r ,i.t l i k ., i : d ff hon., our eeillieal -" sportsmen to wee um : and bring don'' lbe.:ir game. As to the poor stalking horse itself, it is evidently considered not worth even its feed. In the Peers, Lord SUNLIT made an important speech. which may be read for edification, whilst those in the Commons could only cater to amusement. His lordship is for townland rating, which, bad as it is, if no two Irishmen ean be got to set in oonoert, the legislature may be driven to at last. Bat we should greedy deprecate it. Lord STANLEY has no objection to pay a rate on and from his Irish estates to the =amities of the western unions.. His lordship proposes an ingenious plan of rescuing the estates of improvident landlords and put ting them to nurse. The poor-law guardians are to be empowered to take them on lease, employ the paupers upon them, then re-lease them when im proved, and restore them, when the original lease is .ed, to the improvident landlord, thus snpues for a time in his dam, but not in his profits or.his rents. We have no idea why the state and the poor should task their united resounes and energies for the benefit of worth's= and idle indi viduals or families. If a leaded aristocracy is only to be preserved at this price, it would be more just and more cheap to do without it, or at least to provide a bran new article.

In the address, exception is tsars to that part of the note in which the " German territory ' of Denmark is referred to, and it is de eland that those terms are incompatible with the political position of Schleswig-Holstein, and at variance with the former promises of Prussia. The address, after protesting anew against any supposition that Holstein will give up its right to form a part of a German confederate state, or th at it will submit to a led . intimate union with Germany, concludes by ex the hope that his imperia l . highness will indefinitively con fi rming the right of Holstein to take part in the German confederate state, *as well as the right of the two duchies to be insepara bly united one with the other. The budget for 1849 was then laid before the Assembly. .

Every day gives birth to a new system for the organ tiLition of the central authority of Germany. People seem disposed to understand the refusal of the King of Prussia to accept the hereditary imperial offiee as sincere; and one day it is a second note of the Prussian cabinet, the next it is a proposal from the cabinet at (Minute that is pat forth in journal gossip as a suggestion of a new German constitution likely to be acceptable in the eyes of all. Whilst these plans continue to appear one day and vanish the next, the promoters of a hereditary Prussian em pire push forward anintermittingly towards their object. They thus glaze upon the Prussian note : " The King of Prussia is king of a consti tutional state; he will be compelled to sub mit to the wishes of his ministers and his chambers; the scruples entertained by the King are merely personal, and will count for nothing in determining the actions of a constitutional mo narch. As soon as the _parliament decides that there must be an emperor of Germany, and that the King of Prussia must be emperor, the Prussian chambers ministers will accept, b eyond a doubt, and the King will have to waive his private scruples?' This is the language held by the Prussian party in Frank fort ; and the chances are in favour of this game suc ceeding, provided a large majority of the parliament renlve to have a Leredttat7 em r, to elect Fre derick WilliamlV. But this indispensable condition of success may fail them. Meanwhile the partisans of a hereditary Prussian empire are acting both with firmness and sagacity. They have a great majority in the committee on the constitution, which is preparing a revised and corrected edition for the second reading. A' vote in its favour on the second reading will be definitive, and then Prase* Austria, and the other governments mart either accept or reje ct it. The original draft of the constitution excludes Austria from Germany. The second and third paragraphs declare that the Austrian states are to be divided into two classes, and the Ger . man Austria and non-Germ Austria ire to be con nected by no other link than their subjection to a common sovereign. These two paragraphs in parti cular have been vehemently opposed in Austria, and all who wish to see German Austria retained as an integral part of the German empire are anxious to have them omitted. Bat the committee on the constitution report that toe two plirtgraphs are to be retained—coate gu'il wive. The Frankfort Ober Post Amts Zeitung (the ministerial journal of this day) expresses a confident expectation that the majority of the parliament will, on this point, agree with the committee, and that, in consequence, Austria will withdraw from the federal state. I be lieve the majority of the committee and ministers on this matter reckon without their host—that is with out the majority of the parliament. The Prussian' pity are quite aware that they would be left in a slimily woes the vote to be honestly taken on the peal" whether we are to have a Prussian empire and a petition of Germany, or a government more or less provisional for the whole of Germany. And for this reason they are making every exertion to have twzreliminary vote taken that may tie the of the majority in parliament. The esnemiftee on the constitution are eager to hurry en the second reading. They fear that the communi cations with the court at Olmiitz which parliament has sitherised may change the temper of the i 4. ity, Bid therefore they urge on the second bebee theme negotiations can lead to any result. Were the Need and third paragraphs or any other pr . ovi. dowel the constitution incompatible with tho views et Aglaia definitively adopted, it would be impossible' to rut that state in the empire.

On Saturday, at s very fully attended meeting of the Marylobes* Vestry, John Williams, Esq., M.P., in the chair, a numerous deputation of the parochial committee of It. Merylebone waited upon the vestry, for the purpose of presetting certain resolutions which had been come to at a crowded meeting held on Thursday evening, with reference to a refocus of the taxation and expenditure of the country, and for the establishment of a Financial Reform Association for Marylebone, and is call upon the vestry for the use of the vestry room for a public meeting on the subject. Mr. HODGES said the deputation appeared before the vestry se a deputation from one of the most crowded and respectable meetings of the Parochial Committee, which had been held on the subject of financial reform on Thursday, at which it was resolved that it was desirable that Marylebone should, by means of an association, jein in the sew end important agitation for controlling and reducing the expand tore of the country. They were desirous of effecting their object by peaceable and constitutional means, and whilst it was felt to be absolutely necessary to put some cheek on the government expenses of this country, they had not the slightest with to touch that Portion which was appro priated to the liquidation of the National Debt, or which was required to maintain the honourable engagements of the nation. If they went back to the year 1838, they found the gross expenditure of the country was but 4 8,787,8381. In 1840 it was increased to 63,443,2871. In 1847 it was 66 millions, and it gradually went en Warming, year by year, till in the year 1848, when the official returns showed the expenditure of the country to amount to the monstrous sum of 69,230,4131. Now, if they went back to the ex penses of government of former years, exclusive of the in terest of the National Debt, they found in 1792 such expenses only amounted to 7,870,1081. liven in 1827, which were the palmy and extravagant days of George IV., they found that the e xpenses of government, even at such a time, were but 21,660,7901. ; but when they came down to 1847, under a reform goveirnment, be it remembered—(laughter)—the cost fee the army and navy, and other matters, exclusive of the national debt, was 28,381,4171., or four millions and a half men thin each expenses were in 1827. Now all these figures were taken from parliamentary returns, and the meeting he (Mr. Hodges) and the deputation represented felt that the time had arrived when the people should force upon parlia ment some system which would ensure a reduction in the public expenditure, more pa rticularly u bet Majesty's minis ters had expressed throng the medium of the Queen's speech their intention to re ommend a very considerable reduction in the estimates for the present year. It was, therefore, to strengthen her Majesty's ministers (and no doubt they would need it) that it was felt desirable that the country should give some expression to its opinion. Such meetings as this pro posed were calculated toxin a tone t 3 the entire country, and they hoped for the cooperation of the vestry and the use of the boud.romn for the meeting. To show how the present mode of taxation Imitated, hi begged to refer the vestry to a letter which Mr. Thomas Law Hodges, M.P. for West Kent, bad written to Lord John Austell, in which be showed that if the present collection of the hop duties in the counties of Kent and Sussex were persisted in to main tain a large standil zp ar a my and navy, the labouring population in whole vi in those counties would be re- Imola to a state of d tuition. The fact was the labour ing man at 30s. per week had to pay 33 per cent. or more out of that sum in the shape of indirect taxation. It was quite time that such a state of things should be put an end to, and it was to aid this object that the parochial committee asked the use of the Court Howe for the purpose of discussing the subject calmly. quietly, and constitutionally. Mr. CAMPBELL (another of the deputation) observed that Marylebone had ever been foremost in any movement which was calculated to benefit the people, and although they were not first in this important movement under the auspices of that great and enlightened statesman, Mr. Cobden, still he hoped they would be equally as sincere and as energetic as those places which had preceded them. The deputation having withdrawn, Mr. MIC HIE said ho would move that the request of the parochial committee be complied with. The necessity of some reform with regard to the expenditure of the country must be so evident to every man that he would content him self with simply moving the resolution. Mr. W. WILLIAMS seconded the resolution. Ho felt that those who had originated this financial reform move ment were the greatest friends of this country. He believed that the vast weight of the taxation of the country was now being felt by all classes of society, and that therefore this was a subject upon which all classes ought to unite to effect a remedy. He considered that the position of government was each that they would cheerfully listen to a general ex pression of public opinion on the matter, and be glad, as far as possible, with a due regard to the efficient maintenance of th, public service, to reduce the expenditure of the country. The motion was at ones put from the chair, and carried unanimously, and the fact was communicated by the choir an to the deputation. MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY AT ST. PANCRAS WORK novas.—The following amount of a mysterious robbery of 1551. in silver, and 201. in gold, from the "strong room" of the newly erected Bt. Pancras ware rooms, adjoining the workhouse in the Kine's.road, Camden Town, is abridged from the Observer. It appears that, as it was cus tomary, Mr. MOshey, the clerk to the board, accompanied by his son, a young man about 20 years of age who acts as a clerk in his office, proceeded on Thursday afternoon to the, Bloomsbury branch of the London and Westminster Bank, I and brought away the sum of 1551. in silver, in three bags. and 501. is mot«. Mr. m.oshey had previously p aced the 201. in gold in the cash box, and ontheir arrival at the vestry rooms (keeping the notes in his pocket) he went away, lea ving his son in the office to count the silver, in which he was assisted by another clerk, Mr. Plain. Mr. M.G.hey, jun., states that when he had counted the money he went into his father's private room, and took from the drawer of the inkstand on the table the key of the " strong room ;" Ithis being the plaoe where it was usually kept, a fact Icemen, It is stated, by all the officers of the establishment. Having get the key, he went and deposited the money in the mis belief& in the strong room, locked the door, and put the key beck in the place in the inkstand drawer in his father's room. It must be here remarked that it was the custom of Mr. M'Etabey, jun., to request Mr. Plows to assist him in pi acing the money away in the " strong room," but on this secuion he slid not do so. The first discovery of the robbery on Friday morning was occasioned by the demand of the board foe money to pay the poor, and the absence of the key of the room" from the drawer of the inkstand. The "strong roma" doer was found locked, and a duplicate key having limn obtained, it was opened, and it was then discovrred that the espbsord rebnel to had been broken open, as also the l emilebealiande, and the silver and gold to the amount stated deism loixraation was instantly forwarded to the police station of the S division in Phrenix street, Somers Town • and on the arrival of two detective officers, an investigation took place, and the following suspicious Gets presented thermion. In the " strong room " there were no traces of any implements, nor had there been any violence used to the lock of the iron door. The door of the vestry ckrk's office was found unlocked, and also that of the private roam. The keys of the strong room, that of a door leading from the workhouse garden, besides other keys had also been abstracted, but were afterwards found in the lava tory ranged in a row, together with several house breaking implements. On the window-sill were discovered four finger-marks of each hand, but, on minute inspection, the officers are convinced that these had been made from the Wade, but were intended to lead to a belief that the robber I had made his exit by getting out and dropping from the, wisdom, a circumstance rendered impossible with the aft of 1651. in silver on his person. Mr.lll.oabcy, jum, slates that when he deposited the money in the " strong onea," he immediately went, after locking the door, and pissed the key when he found it, and then left the pre mier, the time being, to the best of hie belief, about a rter st 6 o'clock. There is some doubt about which of beadles locked up the 'place, but the; last person in the vestry clerk's office was Mr. Jaques, the chief clerk, end he, it appears reeoßecSag, after he had got out into the read, that he had lot looked the office door, told Lamb, the peeler at the gate of the workhouse, to go up and de so, but whisk Lamb omitted through forgetfelncss not thinking, as Mentes, at the moment, that it was of Particular impot ence, es he had known the vestry clerk's office door left un 'locked many times previously. The bust Olen known to have been on the promisee was Mr. Clarke, one of the visit ing goats of the poor, and he is stated to have left by the lower lodge gate, leadiag e t r o is his office on the basement. In eassequence of this rob the board of directors had no moue/ to pay the poor, w o had assembled in hundreds , and they had to remain till the necessary amount was pro surd from the banker's by Mr. T. H. Smith', a member of the hoard. Ikon his oven account. A special wet of the board of directors took place on Saturday, when an investigation - was entered into with Gifted docile, but from what has transpired suspicion points some of the officers of the establishment, although everything was dose to make it appear to have been the act of estranges and regular housebreaker. In order to stren gth en this view of the case, four or five skeleton keys were thrown into the garden fronting the house, No. 16, Cook's-row, Old St. Pan ecas.roed, about three doors from the front of the vestry rooms, and when they were picked up Bohm* Marl and handed over to Lockerby, the detective e Mrs. Tiffin, the nine al on of the beadle., who lg riett house, and who head non there.

BEV Having already va L piainad EY (co ih NCL a Uti pvi E n D vi . principle on which Beverley elections are conducted, we now proceed to narrate the most flagitious instance, since the Reform Act, of its abominable practices. In 1841, the liberals of Beverley thought themselves strong enough to retina any member who came provided with the IDIOM Such was, however, the reputation of the plea, that they found it no easy task to secure the man they wanted. Many gentlemen of standing would notjeopardize their public character by soliciting suffrages which they felt must ultimately be bought. At length, however, they prevailed upon Mr. John Towneley, a son of Mr. Peregrine Towneley, of Towne. ley, in Lancashire, to try his chance. Mr. Townelev came into the town and brought with him a thousa nd or fifteen hundred pounds, which he was told would go very far to cover the expenses. By some accident this money was placed for his use in a bank at Bever ley which was strongly on the other side. Three days lafter Mr. Towneley appeared, the liberal party com menced paying the" subsist" Ten shillings a day was the slim they began with, and a large number of 'voters applied for it. Of course, the =meat this began, the tory party sent off to London for the sitting members. They informed the m that Mr. Towneley had come, and they informed them also of the precise amount he had brought with him. Sir James Weir Hogg laughed at the ides; and a course of proceeding was determined upon, calcu lated, as the Tories thought, at once to drive Mr. Towneley away and to teach him a useful and in structive lesson. The sitting members came down, and their party immediately commenced paying a " subsiet " of a pound a day. "That," said one of the party, " will soon use up the Towneley deposit." The libe;als rose their "subsist" to the same amount, and, to the surprise of Sir James Hogg, they paid it, " However," said the tories, • the money is nearly gone, and of course our bank will give no credit." The next day the payment went on as before, when the tories, determining " to have done with this sort of trifling," rose the amount to 30s. at once. To their surprise the Towneley party rose too. It was now evident that the depth a Dlr. TownelEt' a s e liarse was not to be so easily sounded as they sup . The Hogg party accordingly tried another ta e They proposed an armistice of fear days. " They were sure the radicals would ao• leapt that." To their surprise the proposal was at once and promptly refused, and the liberals went ea paying as before. The fact was, that daring the election Mr. Pere grineTowneley had been fully apprized of the paid* of affairs in Beverley, and being gallantly determined that his son should not belied by the put se of a nabob, he had given him an unlimited power as money. The tables, in truth, were turned. re ft d d e of the Tories getting to the depth of Mr. Towneley's purse, Mr.Towneley had been able to sound theirs, end had found it getting shallow. When the day of election came, the voters had received no less than 121. 10e. a-piece, the largest sum ever yet paid in Beverley for mere " subsist." Mr. Towneley and Sir I. W. Hogg were elected. It is computed that at this election nearly nine- tenths of the constituency took the " subsist' Tradesmen took it,—" gentlemen" took it—in fact those who did not take it were universally re- garded as very weak and poor-spirited people. It must be added, however, that this mon, y was rat considered in any degree as " bribery," nor received as each. It was mere "subsistence money?' Each voter took it from his own party, but no one supposed that he was selling his vote in consequence. This is a peculiar feature in Beverley. Every voter is " a man of principle" as long as there is no superior temptation offered to him. He expects to be paid, and will be paid. He always has been paid, and he thinks it only reasonable and right that he should be paid. If one party pays more than another he votes for the party that pays highest ; bat if both parties La/ s equel:3 , he votes with his own colour. And he this acting up to his principles, and declares that there is no such thing tie bribery at Beverky. At the 1841 election the farmers round about, for the first time, interfered as a body in parliamentary subjects. The period was that after corn-law agitation. When the tory cause began to get desperate, a cir cular was sent to the landed gentry of the neighbour hood, requesting " most earnestly . their immediate personal assistance and influence in the town." A body of farmers, mounted and spurred, came in and paraded the streets attended by a band. But it said that none of these men ever turned a vote. The electors were too busy looking after their " subsist" to be frightened by a farmer. They all polled according to principle—that is, for the party from whom they had been receiving pay. It may be asked why, if in such a place as Beverley so votes are changed by pay. where both parties pay equal,—why in such a case do not the parties agree not to pay any money at all? The fact is that whigs and tories alike feel that were they to check the eye. tem in such a way, the e3rrapt would brill down some less scrupulous candidate, whose election would probably defeat one of them. In additien to this, neither party are willing to incur the odium of be- ginning to pat on the check. This election cost Mr. To vnieley upwards of 7,0001., and Sir James Weir Hogg and Mr. Fox upwards of 9,000(. The total sum spent was about 161. per head for electors, and nearly 21. per head for every man, woman, and child of the population. Did the expenditure do any good ? Some people in Beverley will tell you that it did. " l'oor souls, they were able to pay off their rents and their doctors' bills, and those who were on the tambourines could even pay their spirit-merehante." This sort of arga meat is very much to be regretted, because it follows that if voters rely upon such incomings to pay off their landlord and their doctor, the landlord and the Idector in their tarn will rely upom the same oppor tunity of getting paid. And in truth this is very much the practice in Beverley. Cases are known at this moment where voters, disappointed of receiving a " subsist' from the Tories at the last election (1847), are waiting for whet they call " Fox's money" to pay their debts, and are pleading its non-receipt to excuse their want of punctuality as regards thole with whom they deal. To such a state as this is the town reduced by the practices which have prevailed here. But, looking a little farther, it is a matter of extreme doubt whether any large portion of the money thus ill got in 1841 was spent in any better way than each money usually is spent. There does not appear to have been any permanent increase in the savings bank depoefts in consequence, and the offinrs of the pasturages which belong to the freemen report, that though many additional freemen sent stock to pasture during that one year, yet their cattle very soon dwindled away, and no permanent increase whatever ensued. The probabilities are, therefore, that what the abettors of the system did not get by way of pay meat of debts was squandered at the public-horse, or in supplying the wants occasioned by idleness and non-employment. We now come to the election of 1847, respecting which, as there are matters still under some sort of arbitration, it behoves us to speak with the more caution, whilst stating the case, as is our custom, plainly and impartially as regards all parties. Sir James Weir Hogg having voted with Sir Robed Peel, had given so much displeasure to certain of his agricultural friends in Beverley, that many of them advised him to look out for another constituency. There are believed to have been other circumstances which led the hon. baronet to adopt thin advice, but these are matters needless to go into. The whir, seeing the rapture between the tories and their mended members, thought they could easily bring in a second man. A rich one offered himself—Sir Lase Lyon (loldsmid, who was introduced to Mr. Townley by Mr. Hutt as a very fit and proper col league for that gentleman at Beverley. It may not Yoe been a particularly happy idea to couple a r thar ibe niat of: Hn e H inan ebre va w t na hn ti n o v n f w atn ith uive a m in em o be e vo r o v f nuy one . hat Mine one suggested that it would show the flow age of the party from intolerance, and this was thought an argument for accepting the nominative. It appears that there was an arrangement entered Into between Mr. Towneley and Sir lease, on the "abject of finance. They were, as they mutuallZ rimed, to go into the Held together and to share and share alike. It would seem, however, t h a t before Mr. Townley went down Sir Isaac olibmid had issued an &Memo printed in the town of Hall. Tho was a proceeding which occasioned some objectioe- 2
