MALTA, AUGUR 72.

The expense has been incurred, and the question as to whether it has been legitimately and necewarily incurred is between the public and th e co mmission, not between individual members of the bo.Vd. If there has been wanton expenditure, it ought to have been resisted and exposed beforehand, net made a weapon of aggression afterwards. The whole commission authorised the expenditure; the whole commission are responsible for it. We are glad the investigation is to proceed because the rate-payers are entitled to know how their money goes. Bat we beg to intimate before-hand that even should it ultimately appear that this money has been legitimately and profitably expended, we shall regard the question of the competence of the commission as standing exactly where it did before. A brief conversation w hich took play shortly before the court held on Wednesday rose, throws a very suspicious light on the manner in which the commissioners transact business. Mr. JOHNSON as serted that not a penny of the ratepayers' money was spent without going through a committee of finance. lo:r. LESLIE immediately reminded him that not a word had been heard in the finance committee of the 7001. spent on the scheme of the Sewage Manure Com pany. ,Mr. DONALDSON appears to have fancied that he met thin objection by " explaining" thatthe expenditure bad been .authorisecl by order of the court, and bad not been referred to the finance committee. Mr. DONALDSON confirmed instead of disproving Mr. Leaus's charje, hand 1. had been irregularly and inconsiderately (ar Bat waiving kg the present the question whether the commissioners have orhave not been wantonly pro , faze in their expenditure of the ratepayers' money, the damning fact remains apparent that up to the present moment no practical step has been taken to co mmence the work for which mainly the commission was instituted. For some two parr the commis sioners appear to have been listening to the alternate pleadings of Messrs. Auntie and PHILLIP*, as Polenton in Vram's "Eclog ue," listens to the alternate ' strophes of Menakasaut Domestas ; and only at the last hour does and idea appear to have occurred to them that others besides these two gentlemen might have piens of drainage to suggest . A general competition has, how ever, been announced, and a lre ady, we are in formed, 74 competitors have appeared with their re active plans. If two years' deliberation have not sashed the commissioners to decide on the comps. satin merits of two rivals, in what conceivable time will they adjudge on the contending claims of 74 ? When will the great arbiters of sewer', flashing, and se wage manure companies, decree with Palemon, ." °indite jam rives, purl; sat piste biberunt r The commission cannot get on; it has demonstrated its own incompetence to the task confided to it. The source of this incompetence appeared visibly 1a the course of Wednesday ' s_ proondings. Mr. LneuE remarked that " He had a position in that court as a representative vestryman of a rental of about 1,250,000 L, which they taxed. Mr. Henn he believed, represented about a million." Mr. Lu lls, Mr.Kuitz, and perhaps half-a-dozen more mem bers of the commission are sure to be called to account far every vote of money they concur in, by the members of the vestry to which they belong, and by their constituent'. The rest are only responsible t• the government which appointed them, and are sae only to be called to account by government, when dissatisfactioCerith their proceedings becomes so panel and loud as to endanger the permanence of ministerial arrangements. The voice of the London rate payers, though not to be disregarded is scarcely powerful enough to tell effectively in the balance of parliamentary majorities. A great majority of the commissioners therefore may continue to experiment and bungle, Tend money and produce no tan l e e results, for an indefinite period without being " pulle up," while their luckless brethren who happen to be members of vestries like those of Marylebone or St. Jantes's are compelled to bide the pitiless incessant pelting of the storm of public indignation. And when the members exposed to this external pressen remonstrate against votes of money or pro crastination of works, their more easily circumstanced brethren complain of having their attention to deli cate experiments interrupted by this impatience, and their profound cogitations distracted and impeded. And the remonstrant' have all sorts of undue mo tives imputed to them for their urgency. It is clear that this has been the source of the per squabbles and altercations at the board. A minority of members exposed to the badgering of constituents, and a majority nominally responsible to the Home-o ffi ce or the LORD CHANCELLOR, cannot possibly work in harmony. To exclude members !Widen the pressure from without from the commis sion would only make matters worse. There might then, indeed, be perfect harmony at the board, perfect decorum in the proceedings of the courts of the com mission, bot this harmony and this decorum would be purchased at the expense of the ratepayers, who would have to pay dearly for it. We should rather isay that the change ought to be in the other direc tion, that all but representative members ought to be ... - it i I excluded from the commission . ej The sewerage of London is a matter which concerns the ratepayers of London. They have an interest in the business being well done and economically done. They would be pretty sure to keep a sharp eye upon commissioners whom they appointed, and had it in their power to remove. They would insist upon avoidance of all unnecessar y . expenditure, and upon having something tangible in return for the money actually spent. At all events, their motives to keep a sharp look out and a strong hard of control over the commissioners are mach more lively and perma nent than any that can possibly actuate a central go. vernment. Besides, ministers have so many other things to engross their attention, that the sewerage even of so great a city as London can receive but a very slender share of it. This plan of oentralising all functions, down to local police and local sewerage, in the hands of the supreme government, is most mischiev ous. Ministers, by undertaking to do everything, place themselves in a condition to do nothing well. A gonrument which seas to concentrate all activity in itself, totppoint and discipline the polies as well as to sway the destinies of the empire, resembles the moat magnanimous Bottom, who, with his goodwill, would have undertakes to play Pyramus, Thisbe, Lion, Moonshine, and Wall. There are few who deny that making the Commis sioners of Sewers eligible by the rate-payers would snare a more vigorous enforcement of economy, and a more rigorous exaction of efficient work. The only lioubt of any weight, as to the efficiency of a beard popularly elected, has arisen from the tendency of po- War representatives to aim at establishing a reputa tion rather by skill in debate than by effective action. The experience of government nominees has taught es they can be quite as dilatory and inefficient as the most oratorical board of elective members possibly amid be. Government nomination has been proved by experience to afford no guarantee against what is supposed to be the besetting sin of popularly elected boards. And we suspect the experience of the last twenty years has pretty considerably abated the admiration entertained by electors in general far I PIANI7IPAOTITRIes.—Baeorono. Leg.

The remedy is in the substitution of an elective board or cmimimion of sewers for the whole metro• polttan district. But to impart efficiency to soh a beard, its authority must extend over the whole district, over the city and liberties is well as the parishes. And the representation of the rate payers will require to be equally . apportioned i one membe r att tar e board for every division containing so many payrs, and liable to inch an amount of rates. A staff of permanent offioials will require to be attached to a board thus constituted. Oar own ex perience of real representative bodies would lead us to say that the appointment of such a staff might safely be left to them. But we are aware that many are of o pinion that such . an arrangement woold neces sarily lead to jobbing, and an in j uriousl y freq change of officials. We believe there is quite as much jobbing, and of a mu ch more insidious and dangerous character about government appointments as about those of elective bodies, who are elected under a good system and to whose proceedings due publicity m given. But so stro n g is oar reliance in the efficacy of • healthy representative system, that could we see our way to the attainment ot a board or commission of metropolitan sewers fairly elected by the rate-payers and responsible to them, we might be brought to listen to a compromise in the matter of the appointment of the engineering assessors. ON looking over the estimates of effective and non effective army services for th e year 18 49-50, printed by order of the House of Commons, we find that pay ments for non-effective service bear even a larger pro portion to those for effective service than in the navy. An abtract of theee estimtes gives the total amount to be s p l evided for e ff ective a services, 4,026,1551. ; and Ise embelbstive, 2,116,0561. The different branches of non-effective service may be dumbed as follows:—Rewards for military service, 16,1201.; army pay of general officers, 78,9081. ; full pay for retired officers, 56,0004; half-pay and military allowances, 400,0001. ; foreign baltpay, 41,1561.; widows' pensions, 128,778/. ; compassionate allow ances and pensions for wounds, 95,5001.; Cnelsea and Dablin,in-pensions,3s,s4l/.; ont-pen5i0n5,1,224,0531. ; supe rannua tion allowances, 38,0001. Now it will be teen that the charges are far more defensible than those for naval non-effective services. We should be the last to complain of rewards for military service when fairly earned and justly distri buted, or to object to pension the widow and orphan, the wounded or superannuated. The foreign half-pay is much on the same footing, consisting as it does of al lowances to officers of disbanded foreigncorps, pensions el wounded foreignofficers and the widows and children of deceased foreign officers supposed to have rendered eervice to this country. The army pay of general officers, full pay of retired officers, with half par and military allowances, amounting together to 531,9081, is the sum which is to be compared with the half pay of naval officers. The charge to be defrayed by the tax-payers of this country for 6,036 officers on full pay appears to be 826,5991., so that the payments to army officers on half pay compared to those to employed officers is as sto 8. Oa comparing this with the navy, it must be borne in mind that leave of absence on full pay is much more easily obtained in the army than in the navy. A naval officer on full pay can very seldom obtain even a month's leave, whereas nothing is more common than the grant of nine or twelve months' leave on fall pay to army officers, many of whom spend considerably more than half their period of service absent from their duty, receiving full pay for doing nothing, earning at the same time the right to retire on full pay after a certain number of years' service has been thus passed over. Some of the items of effective service in the army estimates appear rather strange. For instance we find 18,0001. allowance in aid of regimental messes, and 5,0011. table allowance for officers on guard at St. James's and Dublin Castle. Surely, 6 consid a ering the number of these officers on guard, ,0001. year for their dinners can scarcely be considered as expended in effective service. Then we dud 17,0001. to officiat ing clergymen, for performing divine service at home and abroad—rather dear divinity. Next we arrive at 86,5501. to pay purely nominal appointments, in the shape of 13.5 colonels, who have nothing what ever to do with their regiments. It is a pare piece of jobbery to give extra pay to general officers to obtain political support, and, as if this was not enough, there is 1,0931. which these sinecure officers pocket as "emoluments from clothing" Another rather startling item for effective service is 56,8521. for " trumpet-majors and drum-majors, ket tle-drummers, trumpeters, bugler!, fifers, and drum mers"—certainly not cheap noise. Just as we find in the navy more admirals than ships in commission, so in the army we have more generals than regiments. A hundred and fifty gene rals who ere not colonels of regiments, and very few of whom are employed, will draw, it is estimated, 65,0001. as pay for non-effective service in the earrent year. Two hundred and ninety-six officers retired on fall pay, will receive 56,000!. ; and 3,388 officers will receive for half-pay and military allowances, 400,0001. The number of those unem ployed in the army, compared with those employed, is nearly four to six, but a simple comparison of this proportion with that of effective and non-effective officers in the navy, will afford no information as to the comparative efficiency, in ease of need, of the two lista. Ihe navy and army half-pay lists stand upon a totally different footing. Promotion in the army is entirely from the effective list. No promotion takes place, except in caseof regimental vacancy. In the navy no permanent force isemployed. Ships are paid off. The officers are placed on half-pay, and are promoted from one rank to another while unemployed. Tbo officers of the army remove the dead weight by keeping up, out of their own pockets, retirement by the system of purchase. Young men buy out the old ones, keep op a larger stream of promotion, and maintain more ge neral efficiency. In the navy active men are placed into vacancies in the inactive list indiscriminately with inefficient officers, known to be incapable of serving at sea. An inactive admiral dies, and an effi cient captain, in his turn of seniority, is placed upon the list of rear-admirals, and thus rendered long use less to the country. The same evil occurs, though to • lesser degree, when by the system of the service, an , active commander is converted into an inactive captain, or an active lieutenant into an inactive commander. The system is so obviously bad, that it must be reformed. Administrative economy will be the battle-field of next session. It will be the test of honesty in the representative most clear to electors ; the question upon which can didates will be tried at the hustings. Financial reformers may not all agree as to the means of raising revenue, but all concur in the opinion that the first diminution in expenditure must be in the salaries of useless public servants. THERE are people incapable of appreciating the leniency of that public contempt which quietly re mands them to obscurity. They will tell the public what fools they are. They pride themselves on their folly, and, like the professional wearers cf motley in old times, insist upon jingling their bells in the hear ing of all. To this obtuse and perversely vain class belongs the Reverend RICHARD CHAPMAN, late chap:ain of Coventry gaol. The extraordinary con duct of this person in seeking to convert a felon doomed to death, by singeing her fingers with a can dle, has been paged over, in a great measure, with a wondering and pitying silence. His pi rtinacity in obtruding his fatuity upon public notice, renders per severance in this course of lenity impossible. 41 Erroneous and exaggerated reports relative to this affair," says the reverend gentleman, in a letter which ha transmitted to the Secretary of State, and bee lbrimeded for publication is the Corentry Herald, "lave been circulated, some of them too ridiculous to be credited by any person of intelligence." We con fess his own correct and unexaggerated report would have appeared to us too ridiculous to be credited by any intelligent person, had ft not been authenticated by his own rignattue. After telling us that he hsd read to her some pas sages from a work of JEREMY TAYLOR on the nature d eternal punishment by hell-fire, and had implored bar, "in the kindest and most soothing 'meats," not to 'rent it by refusing to confess her guilt, he pro ', weds to state : On revisiting her in the afternoon, a thought struck far that an application to the senses of a person who was inac cessible to reason might be attended with the desired remit. I called for a lighted candle, and requested her to give me her hand, which she unresistingly placed (or suffered to be plicsd) in my own. I then held it over the lighted candle, and asked her if she suffered pain, to which she made no reply, but presently began to struggle, when I instantly re. leased her hand. 17se operation did not occupy more than MANCHBSTER, sitylid 30. aroaxliummos..—Tkire Ina a yef dell imszket, sad prior were rather lower.
