It is pleaded that the present state of the repre tentation in Parliament works well: I deny this. We are Low discussing local interests—let us therefore examine the quiition by local cases. I mean nothing personal to those whom I shall be obliged to name: the nature of the ques tion 1 am discussing requires that I should name them. —Let us see,—putting aside the county—how the cities, owns, and boroughs of Kent are represented !—Canterbury —two highly connected young men of honourable families, having large stakes in the county—but certainly very young and inexperienced ;—Sandwich,—a London merchant,—and London Barrister,—both unconnected with the county ;—Dover,—a Russian merchant—and another London merchant,—both unconnected with the county ; Hythe,---a London wine-merchant, and a London East India Captain and Director,—both unconnected with the county, Romney, —two strangers nominees of Sir Edward Dering ; Maidstone, a London banker,—and London stationer,—both unconnected with the county ; Rochester,— a London barrister, unconnected with the county ; and a very young nobleman ;—Queenborough -- two persons unconnected with the county. Is it wonde rful that the interests of the local population should be ne glected ? And who can doubt, that this state of representa tion arises from the non-resident voters? From resident voters the neighbouring gentry would have some chance. It may be asked why these should not be as good repre sentatives as neighbouring gentry ? 1 answer—because most of them are occupied in fabricating their own for tunes ;—and because they know nothing of local interests. It is true, that a representative, when he enters the house, is a representative of the whole nation ;—but be ought also to represent with especial fidelity and particular knowledge the interests of the place for which he is returned. Certainly both the theory and practice of former days assumed that the cities, towns, and boroughs, as well as the counties, returned members of local connections and loCal stakes : otherwise the interest of the general popula tion of a county would have been very ill represented : for a small borough of a few hnrsdred voters—Hythe for instance— returns as many members as the county Can we wonder, therefore, that the interests of the agricultural population have of late been neglected and forgotten ? How then can it be said, that the system in its present state works well ? This state is the result of the gradual abuses of time : and shall we never correct those abuses ? The anti-reformers cry, " Let us stick to our old men:pai nter!" —But it is not an old mumpsimus—it is a modern corruption ! It never was so till within the last fifty years. The proposed change, therefore, as to the non-resident voters would be a counterbalance to a thousand faults in the plan, if such shall be found to exist. The Duke of Wellington declared that the state of the representation is at present practically perfect. Could his Grace really persuade himself that Parliament had done all which wisdom could do to relieve the people ? Could he have no suspicion that legislative error, or legislative su pineness, bad brought about the present crisis ? Wu it the decree of Providence, and not the result of human ignorance, or incapacity ? Did no glimmering doubt break on his mind that a double population requires a double amount of subsistence ; and that a double amount of subsistence re quires a proportional increase of currency ? And that with out such increased machinery the people cannot obtain employment and food ; however abundant they may be ? Did ij never occur to him that these errors might spring from an imperfect representation of the people ? That the members returned by rotten boroughs and non-resident voters, might neither know nor care any thing about the distresses of the agricultural population ? For my part, I cannot guess, whence come many of the strange names returned by those boroughs ? Whether they come from the east, or from the aew world, from Asia, Africa, or America, I know not. It is pleasant, no doubt, to some great patron to put in his elite ! but not very pleasant to the starving labourer thrown out of work, and driven to break machines, and to be hanged for it ! 0 that I could see those days return, when the cottager had his garden, his little closes, and his cow ! when he was sure of employment either for himself, or for others ; and of an amount of produce or of pay, which was a fair remuneration for his toil ; when the farmer found alteady market for his surplus of growth ; wben he knew not the misery of seeing at once his crops diminish, and yet his produce a drug in the market ! When he no longer had to pay the usurious and relentless creditor, at the rate of ttocnty shillings, what he borrowed at the rate of ten ! S E. B. Tu'ry° POLISH FINANCES. The public securities in Poland consist of-- 1. The LeUrea de Gage, meaning a kind of hypothecation of the land for the security of the debt, which karst de gage may be called land loan bonds. . This species of public funds was created in 1825, by a law of the King and the two legislative chambers, founding on the security of in dividual property in land, a credit that shall never exceed sixty years of the land -tax, and called by the name of the " Tenth," meaning the tenth of the voluntary declaration of revenue of each individual estate. It is an impost freely granted by the body of landed proprietors of the country full half a century prior to the time of the law enacting the creation of the fund : the landed proprietors at the time this impost or tax was consented to by them, during the ancient republic of Poland, made themselves a return of the value of their territorial possessions, anti of the net revenues of such, granting the tenth of their revenues to the State as a land tax, and pledging their lands and hereditament, in all future times for the security of this tax. The total amount of the fund, or tearer de gage, is equal to the tenth of the annual revenue of the land for sixty years, and can never exceed that amount ; but it has been ascertained by statistical returns, that the aforesaid declarations made by landowners of the value of their landed property amounts in reality to scarcely one-sixth of the present real value. The !titres de gage bear interest at d per cent. per annum, payable half-yearly, and are issued fur the several sums of 211 , 000 florins of Poland, 1,000 florins, 1,000 florins, 500 florins, and 200 florins. (N.B. a florin of Poland is equal to 6d. sterling). A sinking fund of 2 per cent. is also paid every year by the association of lan which extinguishes the subscription or debt of eachin d rri n d e M In twenty-eight years, and the sinking fund Is further increased by the accumulation of the interest of the !soiree de yams that are can celled, and have been paid. These karts de gage are accordingly at compahied by coupons, renewable every seven years. All payments made on these bonds, or kilns de gage, and their Interest-coupons (or interest-tickets,) are made in silver, coined at the rate of 8888-125 florins for one Cologne roam of pure silver. The !three de gege pass free, and without any fotniality, from one person to the other. They are guaranteed by the mass of property which the administration, or association of landowners, hold on from all of their own class.— The property pledged is by law obriVi le to be insured against fire; the administrative authorities of the Association are elected by the body of the landowners, and are independent of all control of Government, who only elect an agent to superintend the due execution of the law relative to the business, and serve as guarantee for the confidence of the public, and protection against abuse of any kind. The cance lling of the tithes de gage is hied by a drawing, as of a lottery, and are off at par. Up to the period of the revolution, leUres de gage for sum of not more than 3,000,0001. sterling were issued, but it is to be consi- ' dered that at least the third of that sum belongs to public institutions sod foundations, to religious endowments, to the depot of minors' funds, and sundry other establishments, who have no inducement to present the hares de gage to the drawing for the cancelling of them, not hav ing any better means of replacing the money on so sure sad good a se curity. The cancelling, therefore, bears principally on the ether two. thirds of this paper, now hi the hands of individuals of different countries. Up to the Ist of October, 1828, there bad been ancelled about 1-11th part of the sum issued in these bonds,—say about 11,000,000 florins. 'The cancelling, by payment at par, prevents the Writ de gage rising beyond their par, or nominal value, but the security is so great, the tam of six years for the cancelling of them, and the regular m. silent of interest so teligiously observed, that, before the fiaandsl re action (=manned by the revolution in France, the lenses de gage stood in the h.oney market of Warsaw, Berlin, Frankfort, Ramble*, &c. at pur , i Y ' N., 96 pee sot.

This loan is represented by obligations se bends of 300 forms each, to be catiaguislud in 26 years. There are 147,000 of these obligations or boob, divided into 2,940 series, sad $0 number. each sales. Rory yew, so the Ist day of March, 118 to 118 of these series are drawn, for the motes ti being uncoiled by paying than if, with the premiums attaetied to Nei of the mile as gain premiums.-- Bach number is of conies entitled to bessimbeased its original nominal value at least, together with interest, Air the rate of four per cent per annum, from the Ist of April, lel& The highest premium of any of the seeks is 18,9091. seeding; al payments are made in silver, after the Me of Ile 18.11ltbs lodes be the Cologne mare of pure silver. it is worthy of remeek, that the annual drawing of the numbers of the seeks of this loss to be paid off took place this year at the Bank of Poland during doe two glorious days of the battle of War saw, and while the thunder of the artillery was proclaiming the noble resistance of Poland to its oppressors. These obligations, which were at 150 per cent before the French revolution, and at 109 per cent subsequent to it and before the Polish insurrection, are now selling, on various money markets of Europe, at 138 per cent ; foe those bonds or obligations which have been drawn to be wtt pi cancelled this year, with the bene fi t of suchpremiums as a further drawing may entitle them to, and for obli of which the an. ceiling shall only be decided by the dra in 1802, the prose* price is 96 per cent. As to this loan made with J. A. Fraakd, it is to be observed, that if the conscience of the patriotic !minden of Poland could in any manner be compared to that of the raw. chiral revolution in Spain, and which there upset die valid:Zi a ( di . e Cones bonds, Poland might have quoted a better tide to le• self from her debt than ever Spain possessed, inainancli as the kel loan was merely authorised by an ordinance of the lievereiga, eddy to carry on a war of Russia against the Turks, and, conwerg to the chartered rights of the nation, the two legislative &webers never hie. kg been consulted. But Poland has acted in a NON worthy et her regeneration, in declaring, that although the powers el Moen* Ordi ought to combine to punish a King who betrays his sodas, no pewee or person on earth who shall have placed confidence in the Polbh nation shall ever have to regret having trusted its good faith;{ and it is truly characteristic of this proper feeling as a nation, that wldletke tb =s the only borrower, and the true debtor for this loan, was with his cannon at the gates of Warsaw, and sealing his shoes dishonour with the blood of his barbarous hordes, at tho,e gates of that Warsaw where two years ago he outraged heaven and the hbtery of the world with oaths which now attest his perjury, Poland boom the signature of such a king, and pays the debt he contracted within her boundaries.

CONTEST POll TEE POSTBOXES( (SOWN. Yesterday, the proceedings in the ease of Mr. Scales were resumed, and the court was crowded during the day. Mr. Bodkin, the counsel for the petitioners against the return of Mr. Scales, tailed the printer of a Morning Paper, who produced a letter from Mr. Scales, insisting upon a contimliction of a statement which appeared in its columns, and declaring that he had a stout arm and a good horsewhip. Mr. Alley protested against the system of producing new chugs., of which no previous notice had been given. Mr. Saul was called upon to give evidence, but the point to which be spoke was of no moment. The Secretary to the Portuguese Jews' Synagogue, stated that Mr. Scales had been employed by the Jews to kill their meat in ISIS. Witness read from the Jews' register a minute, setting forth that the fore-quarters of a sheep had been sent from Mr. Scaks's to Mr. Harris, of Petticoat-lane ; that the seals of different sada* hod been attached to them, and that the animal had been stack, (a muds st killi not re. cognised by the Jews.) It also stated that Mr. Seals admitted the fact, but that he alleged that it bad been done by his journeymen. The resolution come to by the ecclesiastical authorities was that Mr. Scales should not kill any more meat far the Jews. He applied afterwards to be employed in killing, but his application was of no avail Whams said it was the practice of the Jews to put seals on the meat day after and having examined it. The custom odginata: in religious feelings opinions. Mr. Alley (Mr. Sealea's Counsel): This is what is called lie Asada• lent part of the charge. Pray was there any fraud as to ski of the animal, its soundness or goodness ? The Witness ot aIL There is not the least imputation of pecuniary fraud; but it Is as im position put upon the Jews, by placin g theses' upon animals not killed according to Jewish practice t(a laugh. Mr. Alley t What is the price paid for itillint a sheep t Witness: Foy:pence at (laughter. It was a religious frau Isaac Brown stated he had been employed some yews ago by Mr. Scales, and had killed as a servant to him. He had seen sheep in thousands with seals to them, ;placed by the Jews themselves. He could not say but he bad put some on himself. He could not say be did so by order. He did so mostly merely for patios: (laughter.) Mr. Bodkin : This is no laughable subject. Mr. Alley: Indeed it is nothing else. It Is most Irresistibly ridi culous. _ _ _ _ _ hlr. Bodkin It refer to religious feelings, and therefore ought not to be made a jest of. Witness never was directed by Mr. Scales to seal the meat, nor had Mr. Scales been present when he sealed it. Sometimes the knife would give a bit of a bitch, or a slip, when the hanimal was killing, and cut the throat across—(laughter)--and the Jews wouldlit bare that. Cross-examined: Mr. Scales's way of killing was ten times an easier death to die (laughter), foe they were dispatched at once, without say ing nothing about it. (Laughter.) The Jews an't considered good Jews if they don't kill their own meat ; the sheep as is killed for them, L just the same as is killed for the Christians, only they goes of dif ferent. (Laughter.) Mr. Joshua Bedford, a Common Councilman, and a Member of the Coal and Corn Committee, stated that, when Mr. Sales was a mem. ber of the Court, the Committee dined together, and in the presence of about twenty people, volunteered to give a recitation, at about half. past seven o'clock. - Mr. Alley—Yes, a lyric ode, Mr. Bedford, I'll read it foe you by and-bye. (laugh u•r.) Witnesa--It was the most disgusting thing in life. Mr. Alley—There may be, and is a difference of opinion as to that; I have it here, and I say it is a humorous and convivial composition. Witness.—lt is the most disgraceful and disgusting thing I ever beard. Mr Dunaby ar.d I called him to order foe speaking such a scan dalous and wretched composition, and he added to the insult, by saying that a person called on him on Sunday morning, and that be wrote it down at that time. First he tells an indecent and wretched tale, and then he says he copied it on Sunday. bfr. Alley.--tio it disgraced you all, did it ? Then I suppose you went off as quick as possible ? (Laughter.) Witness.—Let me recollect. Mr. Alley—Oh, you must have been too much shocked to remain Surely you went away. You couldn ' t stay any longer. Witness (after a pause)—l remained about a couple of hours Etter. (Loud laughter.) Mr. Alley—Pray, Mr. Bedford. did you ever go to a place the, call a school ?—(a laugh.) Witness-3 shall not answer that question. Mr. Alley—lt may distress you, but you must answer that quation ? Witnees—Well, I did go to school : did you I , (Loud laughter.) Mr. Alley—Yes. I see then we have both been at school. But did you never, when you were there, hear it said, Tell no tales out aschool 'Virtuoso—l have beard It. Mr. Alley—Aye, but you seem to hare forgotten the application ; and so you sopped afterwards to drink wine ? Witness-31a, after we bad put an end to the offensive language. Other gentlemen sung. Mr. Scales said he could not sing, but he would recite an oda. Mr. Alley—Was it an epic poem, or a lyric ode ? Witness—l don't know. Mr. Alley—No indeed you don't know the difference. Witness re-examined : We observed that Mr. Scales ate a hearty dinner, for he said be would never dine at the expense of the Corpora tion, and be did so on that day, and ate very heartily. (Laughter.) Mr. Scales—l =guinea for my share, however, so that I was under no great obligation The next charge was that of being an Infidel John DaLston, one of the members of a society for the instruction of the poor—He had called on Mr. Scales seven or ten yews ago, to ea. licit a contribution, and Mr. Scales said to him, I suppose you do not believe the Bible to be of Divine inspiration." Witness, upset him sub scribe , was told by him that he would not eobserthe for to parchasin g of Bibles, but be would have no objection to eab• scribe to hum all the Bibles. Another witness stated that be beard the words. Alderman Thompson.—Did Mr. Scales speak this under essitemset of any kind ? Did he appear to consider you intruders? He spoke coolly, and did not think us intruders. James Catr.—l dealt with Mr. SPIES nine CR tea years ago. I mod for to go fOr to: buy Agape' beads for to hawk for my family, sod one day as I went I saw Mr. Scales and three or four other gamboge.., they was butchers, I believe, (laughter o—and they Mood at the door, and they war talking of Solomon, and so he says to ma, Have yea got a Bible ? and I says to him that I had I and, says be, Why don yea burn it ? so I axed him for my cheeps' beads. and I went away. Be was in goodhumour all the time. IREPPIPPw -~--r T',L a ' . POLICE REPORTS. 'pm Grin.nues.L.—Mr. Revelry, of Queso-square, Wended before M.
