which this game we played dielrelted and elliested
essay active and Wendel pelitieses; and the nor-
roeal of the ground upon which the public wee Se-
rar to, reamed it impossible to awakes auk
general enthusiasm en was required to esunteract the
secession sad cram of the aristocrat% whip.
To Bit CULLING EAIIDLIT no blame attaches. The
invitation he received fully warranted his coming ht,
ward. And in the mute of his canvass he displayed
a liberality of principle for which few had previa:say
given him credit, "and no common amount of tact
energy, and talent. But the patronage which had
head him upon the liberal piety out a shade of sus-
on over him, which the brief period intervening
between his coming forward and the election did not
leave him time to dissipate.
The result of the election, however, affords no cause
for despond. nay. Taking everything into account, it
is wonderful that the liberals were able to come into
setion at all. In the manufacturing districts they
were thrown into confusion by the it 'idioms machina-
tions of the narrow-minded meetarians ; in tlre wri-
cultural districts, where they have been accustomed to
look up implicitly to the landed interest, they were
left without leaders. Even under these disadvantages
they have made no contemptible fight ; and fee the
future the position of all parties has been very much
simplified. The reloresers in the towns know now
that the whig and tory aristocracy are oceleseed, and
that if they ale to be emancipated it most be by their
.ton mailed efforts.
The first thing they have to do is to co to a
proper understanding among themselves. They must
mutually forget and forgive old grudges. There
most be no more attempts, even in appears:tee,
to build a party or fight a battle upon mere
sectarian grounds. The result of the contest
ought to teach the earnestly religious section of the
liberals that whenever they count upon gaining a
point by the asistanco of their tort' associates in
Exeter Hall, they are sure to be deceived and be-
trayed. With the best of our serious torte., toryism
is stronger than religion. When the next opportu-
nity of appealing to the electors of the West Riding
occurs, the political battle must be honestly and
openly fought on political grounds. Mutual and
omens' toleration of all particular religious opinions
most be the order of the day. And in the meantime
the reformers of the towns in the West Riding must
prepare themselves for the coming fight by doing
what the Lancashire free-traders did in 1844. The men
of Lancashire, after they had been beaten is that
year by Mr. &Erwin*, set to work at once, qualify-
ing and registering, and two years later they brought
in their former defeated candidate without opposition.

which prevails over it, and of the manner of pur-

nominally invaded with the right of electing mem-
bers of parliament, bat utterly unable to exercise that
right with either purpose or freedom, because they
are not protected in its exercise. Surely arguments
for reform, for the ballot, for large and equal constitu-
encies, need no argument beyond the simple fads and
picture of everyday elections whioll we have presented.
Our first samples happen( d (we chose them rather
from their vicinity to Loudon than the extravagance
et their example) to be agricultural boroughs.
St. Alban's, Great Marlow, and High Wycombe, are
very fair specimensof their class. Thewpolitioal history
since the Reform Bill is a sample of what we shall find
in other small towns. The facts are now patent, and
we are able to see very clearly the working of the

The change has leen sixteen years in operettas, and

snuggery of the election dinner, with the patron's
steward in the chair and his subservient followers
round the table housing to the health or the man
they had just put Into parliament, but whose person
they had never men and whose name they had heard
in the morning only to forget in the evening—nay,
all the accompaniments of the old system were
infinitely less disgusting than the roundabout
way now in vogue. There was no dis-
simulation then—there is nothing straightforward
now. The number of voters to be brought into sub-
mission is increased; the submission is far more
costly and far more troublesome : but there is the
submission still, untouched and even unapproached.
At first, indeed, there was some attempt made to
shake off the yoke: great exertion.' and still greater
expenses were manned to keep out the GRISISTONES
to put in a BaaJeAL, or to limit the influence of a
WILLIAMS to his own or a single seat; and after all
the trouble and all the expense matters have gone
back very much to their old footing ; there exists the
patron in fact, if not in name; or if the patron be
defeated, it is by a lavish expenditure which spreads
the corruption wider and wider, as the circle moving
from the centre increases till it reaches the farthest
edge of the pond; all political principle is repudiated,
and all political feelings are shelved.
Nor does the existing rule carry oat the recently
avowed object of Lord J. Russeu,to give by means
of the Reform Bill a preponderance to the landed in-
terest. It was thought that these agricultural
boroughs were the safest means of effecting that ob-
ject, significantly kept in the background, whilst the
people were crying for " the bill, the whole bill," and
what, as it his since proved, they obtained, " nothing
but the bill" It may well have been supposed that
the few Dunstable bonnet-makers at St. Alban's, and
the small remnant of pillow-lace manufacturers
at Great Marlow would prove no obstacle
to the predominance of the local and landed influence,
and that the landowners would be the parties selected
for members. On the first point, the supposition
turns out to be correct : the petty manufacturers have
not interfered with the great letters of land ; on the
second point, however, the presumption has not be-
come the fart. The landowners are not, as aclass, the
parties finding their way to the house through these petty
constituencies. The merest stranger is often preferred
to the next and kindest neighbour—preferred, not
from any great interest in land, or any. states-
manlike qualities, but because he is the
easiest found on the instant, can make all
money matters square with the hawker of the seat,
and can satisfy the scruples of some candidate-hunting
deputation. Any stock being good enough
to beat a dog, any candidate is good enough to worry
an opponent ; and even when the ferment is over,
and the real mover of the wires recovers his patri-
monial influence, and his rights of dictation, he is
often forced to pus over the man he would desire to
place in parliament, and to fight his battle under
cover of some candidate who don not outwardly
protein the obligations he owes to the owner of the
adjoining park. Accident may, and sometimes does,
turn up a trump card. In the course of half a
century there may, by some lucky chance, be a mem-
ber who is a credit to the constituency, and whose re-
election would do them honour. Yet, it so hap-
pens, that such a man seldom finds his way
a second time to St. Stephen's for the same place ;
he has paid too dearly and cannot make another sacri-
fice, or he does saute precisely as his patron pleases;
or, peradventure. the electors cannot afford to make
these sacrifices which political indepeldenoe imposes
with the utmost stringency upon the voters in small
towns.
The effect upon the electors themselves is most per-
nicious. Little by little they are drawn into the
vortex of ooeruption, they may have been pure once,
bat the temptation becomes too ;strum the impurity
too clear, the pentagon too irresistible. Petitions are
prosecuted or withdrawn, the corrupter and the our
ranted escape unscathed. The expenses of elections
often ruinous to the candidate, are yet more certainly
minus to the electors :

Where direct corruption is wanting, it is more than
it is in the power of most men to resist the influence

WHEN we consider the relative importance to
England of our royal and our mercantile navies, it is
somewhat amusing to contrast the treatment which
each meets with from government and the public—
&miring. but in a common sense country, somewhat
humiliating. Our royal nav is splendidly provided
ts for by gran ; its discipline is watchfully go-
verned by an iron law ; its smallest feats lavishly
rewarded ; and its most trivial defects inquired into
and repaired. The trident seems to be BRITANNIA'S
favourite instrument, and it is
raelervarellicsept perfectly
ready to prong a foreign foe, " of expense.'
Yet what can be more clear an that it is to the
mercantile fleet that this country owes its greatness?
Half the households in England—far more indeed
—depend foe the supply of the wants of every day
on those sluggish, unromantic-looking vessels whose
sails whiten the Channel, or whose hulls rest at
Oraveeend. But while every Englishman knows the
whereabouts of Sir CHARLES Nerten's squadron, and
has a speaking acquaintance, at all events, with the
articles of war, scarcely a person can be met who
knows anything of t.W merchant service, its laws,
crews, prospect'. or academies.
So much for the fact. Now for its results. Thus
neglected, what anomalies that merchant service pre-
sents! Shipwrecks, of which no one knows the
caues—collisions, for which " nobody" is to blame—
mutinies, wherein it is impossible to discover whether
captain or crew were culpable—and dreadful fires,
such as that which recently sickened the heart of
England—attributable, only (as far as evidence goes),
either to a superhuman brutality, or a stupidity al-
most incredible. It is to be hoped that the public
ma ,y at length inquire, as well es declaim.
In the first plans, with regard to the oilmen,
there is no organised system, by which merit
is secured for the service. There is a board at
examination at the Trinity-house, for masters and
mates; bat it is not legally imperative on any man to
have passed it before serving as either. And this
examination itself, were it so imperative, is not ode.

It may be said that it is the interest of owners to
secure proper men for their vessels, as it is undoubt-
edly their duty. But unhappily the owner of a ship
cannot, like the owner of a mine, personally inspect
and closely watch over his possession. Off goes the
vessel for her six or twelve months' voyage, entirely
at the mercy of her captain. He may be a drunkard
