A MYSTERY YROII THE WESTMINSTER ELEC-
TIUM.—We will tell our readers a secret of the Westmin-
ster electinu, the secret which procured for Lord Maid-
stone • goodly portion of the votes he polled. Previously
to the introduction of Sir He Lacy Evans's Bi:1 sweeping
away the old rste.qualifieation • vast number of the We'd-
minder tradespeople neglected to qualify, in order to be
eased from the persecution of their ..ristoerstic patrons in-
sisting upon their votes for the tory candidate of the day.
Siucc the passing of the bill in question, however, the
parochial authorities necessanly put upon the registerevery
house or shop holder entitled, and the result has been an
increase an the Maidstone minority of from 1,200 to 1,400
votes, produced by • strict and menacing canvass instituted
by his lordship's private west-end friends, and uniformly
medneted upon the lose-oftiotom rinciple, In case the
tradesman voted against the wishes of his noble or fashion-
able dinateaer.—dg..
