Before that met me paw& it was not a difficult
matter, by any means, to acquire the freedom of the
tows ci Maldon. L some boroughs, as we have
men, there were 10 oe 12, or at moat 20 gentlemen,
wbo kept the freedom of their respective towns to
themselves, and refused to oonfer it upon any sue
without their pale. Bat in Malden the was
different. There, voters—that is, freemen system town
—way made by wholesale, and, when esergencies
demanded, were manufactured by the groat In 1826
there were nearly 3,300 freemen voters, whilet the entire
population at the preceding census had only numbered
3,198. The feet wee, that you might acquire the
freedom by either birth, servitude, or marriage with
a fronsan's dated'', the last being a privilege con-
fined, as it is said, upon the town in esseidwation of
the ugliness of the Maldon women. A oonsfitemey of
so large a number as 3,300 was not readily to be dealt
with, and so, in pant of fact, the candidates of these
days used invadabiy to find. All bat a few hundreds
of the voters were non-residents. When the freemen
had to be brought up, they were in the habit of de-
Meant* come, exoept in thebest and most expensive
conveyance. They found it summary, too, that the
tedium of their journey should be mollified by the peo-
nage of their wives and children, or, if they had no
wives or children, by the attendance of their sisters
se their brothers, or by the oompanionshiP of still
sore distant relatives. All these parties travelled at
the candidate's expense; ate sad drank upon the way
at his expense ; were boarded and lodged when they
get down at his expense ; and, of course, had their
expenses paid for their return to the plus from vemnee
they eame. No wonder that, in 1828, when Mr.
Ovintia Disk first stood for Maldon, and kept the
pen there span 15 days, and made more than 8,000
poem tegister their votes—no wonder that the

sally. and should have held the seat for more than
18 years. The only wonder is that be was turned out
Mem
Malden was most properly included in schedule B
',the lest Reform Bill. A population of 3,000, and
a town oonsisting of 800 houses, of which ene-third
alone were of 101. a year, war assuredly a place of in-
sufficient cotneyencre to send more than a single re-
ppeeeeientative to parliament. But the borough members
bight 'tautly for the town. Mr. Western and Mr.
Daniel Whittle Haney. staunch reformers bath, said
something in its favour in the house. Mr. Dick
declared, amid u Oh, Oh's !" that " the electors were
as honourable u any he had ever met with." The
others did not go that length. With less effessiessa•
than Mr. Dick, they had seen censtituescies be mere
pure. But still they stated all they could for Malian,
although it was not much. Near the town, though
in another division of the county, lies a village knows
as Heybridge. It is • scattered, wretched, t•ottes
place, as you would wish to see. Bat it had a pepuhe
tion, and, adding that to Melia', 4,000 Nub WWI
found—enough to eve the town from Schedule B.
Bn, by the Boundaries Act, Heybridge was added to
the limits, and Malden, by the bill of '32, rotated Es
privilege as a double borough.
To beam reddest within seven miles the Reform
Act left the fast:him undisturbed. There were
4,000 Malden &maw when the measure passed, for
numbers, wring bow things went in 1826, had put
themselves isms the roll as soon as possible. The
inemben muds a Cht to save the town the privilege
which Qum Elisabeth had given, to obtain the free-
dom by marriage with a freeman's daughter. This
was seated es a mode of making faggot votes. Many
a girl, said Lord Altkarp, bad been trepanned to
marry in order to confer the franchise; many mock
marriages bad been made solely with that view, and
bmighty minellief had bees caused thereby. Bat still
e right matinned in freemen by their bEth or ser-
vitude resident within seven miles. The total number
was thereby reduced from 4,000 to something less
than 1.000. To those who said that these would
prove corrupt the answer was, that there would be
an whisks of new blood by the admission of 101.
hosseholders to vote. But what were 150 house-
holders to 1,000 fr. amen ? No one could expect re-
form from this, and certainly none came.

be worse. From bed beginnings, on they've gone to
worse with sure and steady step. Last time it wee w
very bed that Malden might have been didranskied

the moment to the new. Having made the& own man
safe, they aooordingly split some Teta with Mr. Wad-
dington, leaving Quintin Dick, for twenty years the
tory member, lowest on the poll by sixteen votes.
Mr. Dick was fariona. A petition was presented,
complaining of the return on every ground. Amongst
the other points it raised was one relating to oat-
voters. At the mouth of the estuary near which Mal-
den stands, is a mall village called Tollesbury, cele-
brated for its oysters. It is here, among other plaits,
that the " real natives" are fed and fattened for the
London market, and brouzht to that state of rich
and glutinous perfection iu which a citizen so gloat-
ingly delights. In Tollesbury there are resident a
number of the Maldon freemen—worthies priscipally
engaged in the dredging business. Deadly the*
gentry had voted for the tory, bat under influents of
beer and disappointment they voted kat time for the
liberal. To get to Tolleribury you mast erJes a ferry,
and by that way it is seven miles from Maldon. To
get to it by land you most go round ten or twelve
miles ; and the question was, 'Mold the
distance be measured as the crow flies, or
by the turnpike road ? At various regis-
trations this question has puzzled the revising
barristers, and elicited contradictory decisions from
that learned body. To have had it decided fully by
the house would have been satisfactory, but this was
not permitted; for, upon consultation, the case of tory
treating was found to be so strong that that party de-
alined to abandon the petition. Thus the delin-
-in of Maldon escaped unnoticed, and the in-
', are happy that they have not been die-

It may have been all these proceedings. or it may
have been some other cause, that prevented the parties
to the late election from settling the bills for all the
charges of the contest. It is doubtful how much of
their claims the publicans may get. Those claimsare
monstrous. A ➢arty who went round to get together
facts for the pettuon returned 9,0001. as the amount
of the outstanding tory bills for beer and suppers !
The tories own to 6,0001.1 the hberels to 2,0001.
Taking even this account, the expenditure in treating
was not less than U. 10e. per head for every woman,
child, and man throughout the borough 1 This is
" the representation of the people."
Ten miles from Maldon, on the London road, is
Chelmsford,theeonnty town of Essex. Seven miles along
the railway is Witham, a small but rather wealthy
Essex town. All Maldon would rejoice if these
places were added to their borough : and we need not
say that the amity town and Witham would rejoice
as well. By the formation of such a borough district,
the population might be trebled, and the electors
purged. Unless this be done Malden will assuredly
continue in its evil ways. Mr. Quintin Dick wilt
stand again, and his purse and generosity know no
decline.

In 1840, when tie whetted Sagtuad end Wake bed hems
surveyed, and whim all but ix essades bad bees sapped
on the 1-insh soak, a change la the erten took plass. The
ordnance warmly of Ireland, as trysail' presently wave, had
boon moshisted on tbe magnifietint seals of six lashes to a
mite; site such is the beauty gad the imports** ri the
maps so prodesed, that the government received most
onlicdtations trout the six seedier& omits' of Ragland, sad
from Scotland, that the survey Is the remaining porticoes of
Great Britain should henceforth be eondacted aad engraved
on the six-inch male. This use acceded to ; and prepara-
tions were made for the ealarged survey, which lam been
continued ever since and which will necessarily occupy a
peat number of years. Whither the southern half of the
bland will be re-surveyed on this 'ode remains for future
T ars to show.
The present state of the ordnance map of Enema and
Wale, is as follows. The whole of Wales, and the whole of
lingland as far northward as Hull, Selby, Leeds, and Free-
bie, surveyed as the old or one-Inch scale, have been pub.
baked in maps on that scale. These maps are meetly forty
inches In width by twenty-seven I. height. They It together
at tih• dges without any overlapping or duplicate enamels',
so that they form, not merely operate maps, but the several
sheets et one map. As the male is exactly one lash to a
mile, the 'heels are particularly convenient for reference in
respect to distant*, *c. Mislead and Wales, as far north-
ward se the towns above framed, occupy ninety sheets,
whisk it placed edge to edp is their relative positions,
would form a map thirty feet wide b' twenty-five hip. The
whole number for England on this lade would be 128.
These maps have been gradually lowered ia pries until they
are at length brought within the reach of alt who may
require soh aid. The price is now only two shillings per
sheet. Messy of the sheets, by the aid of electrotype plates,
are swayed and published in quarten, any one of which
ma be purchased foe depends. The northern counties will
rs quire thirty-six times as many sheets to represent a gives
extant of country as the counties already eluded to, on ac-
count of the largeness of the Naito ; and the preparation and
publication of those sheers will oo that amount he a verytracted work. As portions of Yorkshire and Lase
were mooed before the six-ineh sole was resolved on
these two amities will be completed and weaved ea bag
scales, so that a fair comparison may ultimately be made \
of the relative convenience of the two soaks. It is also,
we believe, determined that the remaining four aunties
shall be also engraved ea the one-inch scabs, In order that I
there may be a complete map of lingland oa one sob-'
form vale. Of the map oa the six inch male, there had
been by the middle of 1846 about 4,000,000 awes env
coy's', 2,000,000 acres drawn, and rather under 1,000,000
scree seam W

Tee execution of this survey and map has aesessarilczarbes
a very costly affair. From 1791 till 1811 the mot wascharged
olest the vote fee coatinglasiss, and amounted to 44,41101.
After that period there seas an animal grant from parliament
varying fr‘ns 8.0001, to 61,0001, and amounting down to
18403 to 634,3261. The expense for 184167 wee 42,0001., and
Ike 1847-S 43.0001., snide, a sum total, fns 1791 to 1848,
of &bunt 662,0001. The sum received for mope sold to the
public is not yet very amaiderable. It was estimated in
11646 that seven years would be required for the survey and
ving of the sin northern counties on both male; that
3,000 moue feet el copper plate' would be required for the
its *sondes on the six-inch soak, and 80 square foot oa the
nae-isch leaky ; aad that Om probable wet would be about
316,0001., added to the sum of about 630,0001. before ex-
raided, making a total of about 850,0001.—Companion to
