THEATRES. DRURT•LANE. The opera of Guy Mannering was performed last t4lit. It is a drama which, from the interest o f the story, the almost classic, but certainly pleasurable recollections it excites, and the sweet sod well-known music of which it is made the vehicle, will ewer, while performed with ev en m oderate ability, be listened to with delight.

Her recep tion, on the whole. was flattering as her most san guine friend could wish. Miss POVEY. as Julia Manner*, fully sustained the reputation she had gained on her debut. She personated the thoughtless, giddy Julia, and assumed her volatile manner with ability, and in the vocal tequisites left nothing to ht. desired. She intro. duced the sirs of " My Henry is gone !" and " Sweet Helix!" the latter was encored. Miss Potty will certainly be a great acquisition.

To the EDITOR of The BRITISH PRESS. n 1 Imo". New York, July 27,1(119. Bitt—its the people of Great Britain do not term to tin. doestand election by balltit, as is practised in this country, and as all men here agree ib the excellence of it, for the in. formation of ma countrymen, I be leave, through the ate. chum of your Paper, to make it plain to every capacity, in connexion with a few introductory observations and con cluding remarks. The State of New York is divided into counties, three again into towns. Elections are held'in the cities by wants, in other parts by towns. Member, of the House of Repre sent.itires ef the United Stairs are elected for Iwo years, members of the State Legislature, Aldermen, &r. of this city, for one year, so that we hare a regular annual election, and it commences regularly on the last Tuesday of April, and continues for three days successively, including the first. When an election is about to take place in this country, for example, in the city of New York, which is divided into ten wards, turtling' are held, fur the purpose of nominating can. didstes respectively. After they are agreed on, and they having acrepte.l the nomination, they are pit on what is called the ticket, to he napporte.l by their friehdo at the elec tion. If their are two large political particsin the country, the other dies the same, in nominating their candidates. The Corporation of the City of New York appoisits three sithstantial frecliold. re, actsi illy residing in the want, to he inspectors of election in I , llllle want, and the imperious ap. pilot two or mire c impeteat el.cks of such election, each of whom to keep a poll -kink or hat. , _ ..„.. At tea o'clock forenoon, on the dud Tuesday of April, n pall" of election is opened in each ward, and the inapeeiors bare a Square bon, with a stifficient lock thereto, and large agouti to hold all the ballots of the voters in the ward, with • Mall hole in the lid or cover of the hex, sufficient only to ortwiee each hallot,and through which all the ballots are put into the Wt. Before the in•pertors receive any ballots, they put& rly administer to each other, and severally take an oath, to execute the tither of inspector well, faithfully, ho nestly, and impartially, and they alao administer 1111 appro• rime oath to the clerks. Now observe particularly what Bellows. All other things being arranged, and in your place,suppose Bit Francis Burdett, Lord Cochrane, or any number, to be nominated by the one party, awl haul accept e d Ik e noinjila. 61011, a voter comes forward who is going to vote fur them lb.fore he leaves his house, he simply writes on • small piece of paper, in • urat form (or lie can gi t plenty of printed ballots if he please), Sir Francis Burdett, Lord Cochrane, the one name under the other, but you will parli• rularly observe, that the voter done not write Ate own name oa Ike lallest Or paper ticket, and hay.ng folded or closet it to conceal the contents, and without sealing it, be comes to the poll, and if he is well known to be a qualified slater— and the qualification here is on • very !void principle, but it is nut universal suffrage—be immediately and opeuly de livers the ballot to the inspectors, 1010, without opening, or suffering it to be inspected, puts it into the box, through the hole in the lid of it in his presence, and the voter's lIIIIIIC is taken down in the poll books or lists, by all the clerks, and he goes •way about his business, perhaps without speaking a single word, and the whole operation may be dune in many cases, in one or two minutes, at the same time he is at liberty to tell every person he sees, inspectors and all, who lie is going to vote fur, or who he has voted fur, still he must vote by ballot. No person is obliged to vote except he pleases, end a peroon may vote fur any man he chooses, if he g.ves him leave. If any dispute arises about the qualification of any voter, the inspectors settle it instantly, by turning up the assessors or collectors books which lie before them, to are if be has paid assessed taxes, or tender a certain oath to bias as the case may be. Other voters come forward in the same man ner till sun-set, when the pull is shut, and the clerks books or poll lists are carefully compared in the presence of the inspectors, after which Use box is opened, and the pull books or lists put into it and again locked, and the key delivered to one of the inspectors, itud the seal or seals of the in spectors pot upon the box, so as to cover the hole its the &c. mid kept in safety till ten o'clock next morning, when it is again opened in presence of the and so on for three days, including the first, when the pull is finally shut, and the election terminates. Such is the operation and simplicity of election by ballot. The inspectors thru open the box, and count over the ballots unopened, which should be equal to the number of names in the poll-book or lists. Should it ever happen, by mistake, that there were more ballots thou name., the ex cess would be impartially drawn omit unopened and destroy ed: for Ole number of ballots and the number of voters un the poll hooks or lists must be exactly equal. The inspec tors then proceed to canvass sad estimate the ballots, and should they find two ur more ballots folded or rolled up to gether, none of them are estimated, but thrown away, soul the voter thereby loses his vote; and they set down in writ ing the names of the several Candidates voted for at the election, with the number of voles, in words at full length, given fur such candidates, and they certify and subscribe a statement or certificate to time Clerk of the County, and a like certificate to the Clerk of time Town, to be by them entered of record, in a book kept for that purpose. The poll-books or lists are destroyed after giving the certificate. The Clerk of the County, within a certain time, delivers a transcript cer tified by hum, of all such certificates by bun received, to the fieceetrily of State, who enters the same certificate in a book kept for that purpose in said Secretary's office, and who. in conjunction with the Surveyor-General, Attorney. Genera I, Comptroller, and Treasurer, canvasses, estimstes, and err itfies the aggregate amount, or whole number of votes given for the respective candidates voted for, and determines upon the persons duly elected, and enters the same certificate ro a book kept for that purpose in said Secretary's office. And they further send a copy of the certificate to the persons elected, and a like nue to the House of Representatives or the Congress of the United States; and a copy uf said cer tificate is also pubtislieul in the newspapers. The above plait of election is very simple, and the longer it is prac tised, the more it is approved of by men of all pieties, as all the Members of the State Legislature, Alermen, Assist ant Aldermen, Assessors, Collectors, Constables, Office bearers in patriotic aud benevolent associations, &c. Ste. in this cit y, ore all elected by ballut ; in the two last cases the person who presides takes off his hat, turn, it up, and re etillls the ballots from the members present in the crown of it, without taking down their names, and after reading lime ballots and marking them off, pronounces who has most votes for office.bearer. By the above plan also a person can vote conscientiously, as he uu:ht alwapt to do, without fear or dread of come. queue's from the wealthy or powerful in society, in cases of a differs II Ce of opium), fur even well.ilispused good men will sometimes differ to opinion as to who are beat qualified to conduct national ur local aff4irs. It is also a powerful check on bribery and corraption, be cause if any person was so foolish as to attempt to bribe souther to vote fur certain candidates, the latter might amuse him , and take all the money lie amused to give (ad milliug he was to escape the punishment of the law), and vote as he originally intended notwithstanding, for so per- NM can oblige anuil.er to shine his ballot, or tell Who lie is going to vote for, except be please, it is even considered very impolite and impudent to ask the question. la short, it is the must independent, systematic, correct, and bushiesmlike way of conducting an election that I know of ; and the elec tions lace are all tooducted with great quietness, order, and dispatch, for there is no encouragement and satisfaction for the idle and disorderly to gather 111 crowds and atop at the poll, to see who people vote fur, sad to raise mobs. Voting vtua voce, or by the voice, as is practised in Eliglainl, is very had way, as it leads to bribery and enamor 'rook tom ss, !smith, and disorder, anal a servility to the wealthy and powerful to society, lac self-interest, or to serve pre sent purposes. Fur example, a banker. or monied man, who discounts bills, 14 a very isillueutial man in, any country.

Although 'elm inOttence of one man over another in this country jos nothing in comparison to what it Is in treat Britain, I am told 6y intelligent and diercrsiing mess, that voting Tiro roe. would never do here, and from what I are, bear, and know.

Mr. Bailey drove the roach as far as Dover street, when one of the wheels came olr, in conaiquence of the pin being out, and the others at the same tune were nearly off, and the coach overturned, hilt fo!tosiately none of the passengers were injured. The buy who took the pins out was immediately recognised and taken lists. cottony. He was taken to Marlborough -street office, charged with a robbery. The father and master of the buy attended, and gave him a most infamous character ; they represented him ■s a prison who gloried in mischief, and the more serious the result, the more be was pleased.
