FINANCIAL REFORM.
On Saturday, at s very fully attended meeting of
the Marylobes* Vestry, John Williams, Esq., M.P., in the
chair, a numerous deputation of the parochial committee of
It. Merylebone waited upon the vestry, for the purpose of
presetting certain resolutions which had been come to at a
crowded meeting held on Thursday evening, with reference
to a refocus of the taxation and expenditure of the country,
and for the establishment of a Financial Reform Association
for Marylebone, and is call upon the vestry for the use of
the vestry room for a public meeting on the subject.
Mr. HODGES said the deputation appeared before the
vestry se a deputation from one of the most crowded
and respectable meetings of the Parochial Committee,
which had been held on the subject of financial reform on
Thursday, at which it was resolved that it was desirable that
Marylebone should, by means of an association, jein in the
sew end important agitation for controlling and reducing
the expand tore of the country. They were desirous of
effecting their object by peaceable and constitutional means,
and whilst it was felt to be absolutely necessary to put some
cheek on the government expenses of this country, they had
not the slightest with to touch that Portion which was appro-
priated to the liquidation of the National Debt, or which
was required to maintain the honourable engagements of
the nation. If they went back to the year 1838, they found
the gross expenditure of the country was but 48,787,8381.
In 1840 it was increased to 63,443,2871. In 1847 it was
66 millions, and it gradually went en Warming, year by
year, till in the year 1848, when the official returns showed
the expenditure of the country to amount to the monstrous
sum of 69,230,4131. Now, if they went back to the ex-
penses of government of former years, exclusive of the in-
terest of the National Debt, they found in 1792 such expenses
only amounted to 7,870,1081. liven in 1827, which were the
palmy and extravagant days of George IV., they found that
the expenses of government, even at such a time, were but
21,660,7901. ; but when they came down to 1847, under a
reform goveirnment, be it remembered—(laughter)—the cost
fee the army and navy, and other matters, exclusive of the
national debt, was 28,381,4171., or four millions and a half
men thin each expenses were in 1827. Now all these figures
were taken from parliamentary returns, and the meeting he
(Mr. Hodges) and the deputation represented felt that the
time had arrived when the people should force upon parlia-
ment some system which would ensure a reduction in the
public expenditure, more particularly u bet Majesty's minis-
ters had expressed throng the medium of the Queen's speech
their intention to re ommend a very considerable reduction
in the estimates for the present year. It was, therefore, to
strengthen her Majesty's ministers (and no doubt they would
need it) that it was felt desirable that the country should give
some expression to its opinion. Such meetings as this pro-
posed were calculated toxin a tone t 3 the entire country,
and they hoped for the cooperation of the vestry and the
use of the boud.romn for the meeting. To show how the
present mode of taxation Imitated, hi begged to refer the
vestry to a letter which Mr. Thomas Law Hodges, M.P.
for West Kent, bad written to Lord John Austell, in which
be showed that if the present collection of the hop duties in
the counties of Kent and Sussex were persisted in to main-
tain a large standilzparamy and navy, the labouring
population in whole vi in those counties would be re-
Imola to a state of d tuition. The fact was the labour-
ing man at 30s. per week had to pay 33 per cent. or more out
of that sum in the shape of indirect taxation. It was quite
time that such a state of things should be put an end to, and
it was to aid this object that the parochial committee asked
the use of the Court Howe for the purpose of discussing the
subject calmly. quietly, and constitutionally.
Mr. CAMPBELL (another of the deputation) observed
that Marylebone had ever been foremost in any movement
which was calculated to benefit the people, and although
they were not first in this important movement under the
auspices of that great and enlightened statesman, Mr.
Cobden, still he hoped they would be equally as sincere and
as energetic as those places which had preceded them.
The deputation having withdrawn,
Mr. MIC HIE said ho would move that the request of the
parochial committee be complied with. The necessity of
some reform with regard to the expenditure of the country
must be so evident to every man that he would content him-
self with simply moving the resolution.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS seconded the resolution. Ho felt
that those who had originated this financial reform move-
ment were the greatest friends of this country. He believed
that the vast weight of the taxation of the country was now
being felt by all classes of society, and that therefore this
was a subject upon which all classes ought to unite to effect a
remedy. He considered that the position of government
was each that they would cheerfully listen to a general ex-
pression of public opinion on the matter, and be glad, as far
as possible, with a due regard to the efficient maintenance of
th, public service, to reduce the expenditure of the country.
The motion was at ones put from the chair, and carried
unanimously, and the fact was communicated by the choir-
an to the deputation.

MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY AT ST. PANCRAS WORK-
novas.—The following amount of a mysterious robbery
of 1551. in silver, and 201. in gold, from the "strong room"
of the newly erected Bt. Pancras ware rooms, adjoining
the workhouse in the Kine's.road, Camden Town, is
abridged from the Observer. It appears that, as it was cus-
tomary, Mr. MOshey, the clerk to the board, accompanied
by his son, a young man about 20 years of age who acts as
a clerk in his office, proceeded on Thursday afternoon to the,
Bloomsbury branch of the London and Westminster Bank, I
and brought away the sum of 1551. in silver, in three bags.
and 501. is mot«. Mr. m.oshey had previously p aced the
201. in gold in the cash box, and ontheir arrival at the vestry
rooms (keeping the notes in his pocket) he went away, lea-
ving his son in the office to count the silver, in which he
was assisted by another clerk, Mr. Plain. Mr. M.G.hey,
jun., states that when he had counted the money he went
into his father's private room, and took from the drawer of
the inkstand on the table the key of the " strong room ;"
Ithis being the plaoe where it was usually kept, a fact Icemen,
It is stated, by all the officers of the establishment. Having
get the key, he went and deposited the money in the mis-
belief& in the strong room, locked the door, and put the
key beck in the place in the inkstand drawer in his father's
room. It must be here remarked that it was the custom of
Mr. M'Etabey, jun., to request Mr. Plows to assist him in
pi acing the money away in the " strong room," but on this
secuion he slid not do so. The first discovery of the robbery on
Friday morning was occasioned by the demand of the board
foe money to pay the poor, and the absence of the key of the
room" from the drawer of the inkstand. The "strong
roma" doer was found locked, and a duplicate key having
limn obtained, it was opened, and it was then discovrred that
the espbsord rebnel to had been broken open, as also the
lemilebealiande, and the silver and gold to the amount stated
deism loixraation was instantly forwarded to the police
station of the S division in Phrenix street, Somers Town •
and on the arrival of two detective officers, an investigation
took place, and the following suspicious Gets presented
thermion. In the " strong room " there were no traces of
any implements, nor had there been any violence used to
the lock of the iron door. The door of the vestry ckrk's
office was found unlocked, and also that of the private roam.
The keys of the strong room, that of a door leading
from the workhouse garden, besides other keys had also
been abstracted, but were afterwards found in the lava-
tory ranged in a row, together with several house
breaking implements. On the window-sill were discovered
four finger-marks of each hand, but, on minute inspection,
the officers are convinced that these had been made from the
Wade, but were intended to lead to a belief that the robber
I had made his exit by getting out and dropping from the,
wisdom, a circumstance rendered impossible with the
aft of 1651. in silver on his person. Mr.lll.oabcy, jum,
slates that when he deposited the money in the " strong
onea," he immediately went, after locking the door, and
pissed the key when he found it, and then left the pre-
mier, the time being, to the best of hie belief, about a
rter st 6 o'clock. There is some doubt about which of
beadles locked up the 'place, but the; last person in
the vestry clerk's office was Mr. Jaques, the chief clerk,
end he, it appears reeoßecSag, after he had got out into the
read, that he had lot looked the office door, told Lamb, the
peeler at the gate of the workhouse, to go up and de so, but
whisk Lamb omitted through forgetfelncss not thinking, as
Mentes, at the moment, that it was of Particular impot-
ence, es he had known the vestry clerk's office door left un-
'locked many times previously. The bust Olen known to
have been on the promisee was Mr. Clarke, one of the visit-
ing goats of the poor, and he is stated to have left by the
lower lodge gate, leadiagetroishis office on the basement. In
eassequence of this rob the board of directors had no

and they had to remain till the necessary amount was pro-
surd from the banker's by Mr. T. H. Smith', a member of

of the case, four or five skeleton keys were thrown into the

OUR REPRESENTATIVE SYSTEM

BEV
Having
already
vaLpiainadEY (coihNCLa UtipviEnDvi.
principle
on
which
Beverley elections are conducted, we now proceed to
narrate the most flagitious instance, since the Reform
Act, of its abominable practices. In 1841, the liberals
of Beverley thought themselves strong enough to
retina any member who came provided with the
IDIOM Such was, however, the reputation of the
plea, that they found it no easy task to secure the
man they wanted. Many gentlemen of standing
would notjeopardize their public character by soliciting
suffrages which they felt must ultimately be bought. At
length, however, they prevailed upon Mr. John
Towneley, a son of Mr. Peregrine Towneley, of Towne.
ley, in Lancashire, to try his chance. Mr. Townelev
came into the town and brought with him a thousand
or fifteen hundred pounds, which he was told would
go very far to cover the expenses. By some accident
this money was placed for his use in a bank at Bever-
ley which was strongly on the other side. Three days
lafter Mr. Towneley appeared, the liberal party com-
menced paying the" subsist" Ten shillings a day
was the slim they began with, and a large number of
'voters applied for it. Of course, the =meat this
began, the tory party sent off to London for the
sitting members. They informed the m that
Mr. Towneley had come, and they informed
them also of the precise amount he had brought with
him. Sir James Weir Hogg laughed at the ides; and
a course of proceeding was determined upon, calcu-
lated, as the Tories thought, at once to drive Mr.
Towneley away and to teach him a useful and in-
structive lesson. The sitting members came down,
and their party immediately commenced paying a
" subsiet " of a pound a day. "That," said one of the
party, "will soon use up the Towneley deposit." The
libe;als rose their "subsist" to the same amount, and,
to the surprise of Sir James Hogg, they paid it,
" However," said the tories, • the money is
nearly gone, and of course our bank will
give no credit." The next day the payment
went on as before, when the tories, determining
" to have done with this sort of trifling," rose the
amount to 30s. at once. To their surprise the Towneley
party rose too. It was now evident that the depth a
Dlr. TownelEt'aseliarse was not to be so easily sounded
as they sup . The Hogg party accordingly tried
another tae They proposed an armistice of fear
days. " They were sure the radicals would ao•
leapt that." To their surprise the proposal was at
once and promptly refused, and the liberals went ea
paying as before.
The fact was, that daring the election Mr. Pere-
grineTowneley had been fully apprized of the paid*
of affairs in Beverley, and being gallantly determined
that his son should not belied by the put se of a nabob,
he had given him an unlimited power as
money. The tables, in truth, were turned. reftd
de
of the Tories getting to the depth of Mr. Towneley's
purse, Mr.Towneley had been able to sound theirs, end
had found it getting shallow.
When the day of election came, the voters had
received no less than 121. 10e. a-piece, the largest
sum ever yet paid in Beverley for mere " subsist."
Mr. Towneley and Sir I. W. Hogg were elected. It
is computed that at this election nearly nine-
tenths of the constituency took the " subsist'
Tradesmen took it,—" gentlemen" took it—in
fact those who did not take it were universally re-
garded as very weak and poor-spirited people. It
must be added, however, that this mon, y was rat
considered in any degree as " bribery," nor received
as each. It was mere "subsistence money?' Each
voter took it from his own party, but no one supposed
that he was selling his vote in consequence. This is
a peculiar feature in Beverley. Every voter is " a
man of principle" as long as there is no superior
temptation offered to him. He expects to be paid,
and will be paid. He always has been paid, and he
thinks it only reasonable and right that he should be
paid. If one party pays more than another he votes
for the party that pays highest ; bat if both parties
La/sequel:3, he votes with his own colour. And he
this acting up to his principles, and declares that
there is no such thing tie bribery at Beverky.
At the 1841 election the farmers round about, for
the first time, interfered as a body in parliamentary
subjects. The period was that after corn-law agitation.
When the tory cause began to get desperate, a cir-
cular was sent to the landed gentry of the neighbour-
hood, requesting " most earnestly. their immediate
personal assistance and influence in the town." A
body of farmers, mounted and spurred, came in and
paraded the streets attended by a band. But it
said that none of these men ever turned a vote. The
electors were too busy looking after their " subsist"
to be frightened by a farmer. They all polled
according to principle—that is, for the party from whom
they had been receiving pay.
It may be asked why, if in such a place as Beverley
so votes are changed by pay. where both parties pay
equal,—why in such a case do not the parties agree
not to pay any money at all? The fact is that whigs
and tories alike feel that were they to check the eye.
tem in such a way, the e3rrapt would brill down
some less scrupulous candidate, whose election would
probably defeat one of them. In additien to this,
neither party are willing to incur the odium of be-
ginning to pat on the check. This election cost Mr.
To vnieley upwards of 7,0001., and Sir James Weir Hogg
and Mr. Fox upwards of 9,000(. The total sum spent
was about 161. per head for electors, and nearly 21.
per head for every man, woman, and child of the
population.
Did the expenditure do any good ? Some people
in Beverley will tell you that it did. " l'oor souls,
they were able to pay off their rents and their doctors'
bills, and those who were on the tambourines could
even pay their spirit-merehante." This sort of arga-
meat is very much to be regretted, because it follows
that if voters rely upon such incomings to pay off
their landlord and their doctor, the landlord and the
Idector in their tarn will rely upom the same oppor-
tunity of getting paid. And in truth this is very
much the practice in Beverley. Cases are known at
this moment where voters, disappointed of receiving
a " subsist' from the Tories at the last election
(1847), are waiting for whet they call " Fox's money"
to pay their debts, and are pleading its non-receipt
to excuse their want of punctuality as regards thole
with whom they deal. To such a state as this is the
town reduced by the practices which have prevailed
here.
But, looking a little farther, it is a matter of extreme
doubt whether any large portion of the money thus ill-
got in 1841 was spent in any better way than each
money usually is spent. There does not appear to
have been any permanent increase in the savings
bank depoefts in consequence, and the offinrs of the
pasturages which belong to the freemen report, that
though many additional freemen sent stock to pasture
during that one year, yet their cattle very soon
dwindled away, and no permanent increase whatever
ensued. The probabilities are, therefore, that what
the abettors of the system did not get by way of pay-
meat of debts was squandered at the public-horse, or
in supplying the wants occasioned by idleness and
non-employment.
We now come to the election of 1847, respecting
which, as there are matters still under some sort of
arbitration, it behoves us to speak with the more
caution, whilst stating the case, as is our custom,
plainly and impartially as regards all parties. Sir
James Weir Hogg having voted with Sir Robed
Peel, had given so much displeasure to certain of his
agricultural friends in Beverley, that many of them
advised him to look out for another constituency.
There are believed to have been other circumstances
which led the hon. baronet to adopt thin advice, but
these are matters needless to go into. The whir,
seeing the rapture between the tories and their
mended members, thought they could easily bring in
a second man. A rich one offered himself—Sir
Lase Lyon (loldsmid, who was introduced to Mr.
Townley by Mr. Hutt as a very fit and proper col-
league for that gentleman at Beverley. It may not

hat Mine one suggested that it would show the flow-
age of the party from intolerance, and this was
thought an argument for accepting the nominative.
It appears that there was an arrangement entered
Into between Mr. Towneley and Sir lease, on
the "abject of finance. They were, as they mutuallZ
rimed, to go into the Held together and to share and
share alike. It would seem, however, that before
Mr. Townley went down Sir Isaac olibmid had
issued an &Memo printed in the town of Hall. Tho

eassised. One day the large spectacles happened to
odf, end the " secretary" stood revealed--a well-
blown clerk from an attorney's o® :e in London. These
Bert of thies at sours@ did not tend to promote aw-
ait* j length a difference arose about money
mattes. It was a slight matter at first, but inde-
deisorirrewalution, aid a wry palpable want of confi-
ding., rendered it complez and unpleasant. The
just esounittee twit offirase; they determined to re-
twu Sir Imo Gehlmaid all the money he bad depo-
ited With this, and to detain* to afford him any
krther support.
Of emus the moment it became known that lea.
buy bad been awakened amongst their opponents,
the urine pat hrth all their strength. Had all things
gue smoothly, the retain of two liberals at, toe
Stverley, a comparatively trifling coat, would have
been certain. But now Mr. Fox, who had been
called in, was sure of a seat. With all the tramps in
their band, the liberal partner had thrown away the
game, and the thrice' hopes were so much raised that
they absolutely seat to Mr. Bothell, of Rise, to try and
get a second ossffidate.
The joint solimittes for Towneley and Oold-
smid amembled at the Reforra-rooms, and pulsed
resolatioes dissolving_ itself, and °instituting • new
committee on behalf of Mr. Towneley solely. Sir
Luc Goldamid wrote to that gentleman requesting
an interview. Mr. Townley replied that he was in the
bands of his Mends, and declined further morespond-
nee. Some Mends of both parties sane labs the
town, and triad, bat in vela, to heal tiodlerseer.
Sir Isaac's discreet curse lessupon wadi haw hew
to have left the town. Bat he emirs to haw been
ill advised. He remained, appeahag to the dieters,
and especially to the Weiss, to whom Inseams to have
supposed he would have been more aseeptable than
his colleague, and threatening a petition agaiagsamnz
candidate who got in onfrirly. Mr. Towneley's
had promised a sovereign for head money, and they
seem to have thought that this threat applied to
them.
Rid as the matter now was, it would have been
well had it stopped there. Bat the polling day ar-
rived. Sir Isaac Ooldemid had secured the show of
bands, and he had been told that he really had a
three if he only liked to pay. He had now fallen
into thoroughly bad hands. A grocer's shop was
hired for 61. just opposite the polling plea. A
druggist took his seat in it behind the counter with a
bowl of sovereigns in his lip. As voters came up he
paid th, rn from IL 10e. to 3L a piece to vote for
Ooldsmid, a split vote or a plumper. The thing was
absolutely done in the face of the mayor, the re-
turning officer, the cc ndidates, of all the town.
There was no concealment or disguise about it.
Mr. Fox called to Sir Lena Goldsmid on the
hustings, and asked him "if he knew what his
friends were doing in that shop ?" Sir Isaac indicated
that be knew nothing about it. The bribery, how-
ever, had begun too late; Mr. Towneley and Mr. Fox
were returned by large majorities.
The wbig candidate had paid his money. The
tory was called upon to do the same. His Mends
declined on the plea that it never had been promised.
They now refused to pay the band. Both the voters
and the bud, however, expect "to get their lawful
due" next time, and we have the honour to inform
the Carlton Club that whoever they s-nd down on a
future vacancy mat be prepared to pay up to the
tune of some 6001. or 7001. on this account before he
commencer on hie canvass, or there is no hope in
Beverley for him.
Sir Isaac Ooldsmid threw away more than 2,0001.
in this contest ; and Mr. Towneley, whose expenses
were of course increased by the split, paid 1,200 L, the
greater part of which was head money. Sir Isaac has
since drawn up " a ease" against the sitting member,
in which he presents himself as an injured man. The
matter has been referred to arbitration, but nothing
has come of it; and for our part we will only say
that those will be the wisest who let it drop that.
So math to Beverley. The corruption here is be-
yond doubt more barefaced and oven than in any
town to which it ham yet been our tisk to refer. It is,
is troth, a system; a system, too, which happens
here to want excuse.
Beverley is by no means a poor or mean constitu-
secy. There 'reran advantages btlonOng to the town.
Overflowing charities—a good market—reasonable
prose—many wealthy residents—a tolerably well-
employed population—and free pastures for the use of
the inhabitants. These are privileges which Beverley
might tarn to good account, if properly disposed.

THE EXHIBITJOD! OF THE BRITISH

INSTITUTION.

It will be said—nay, has already been said—in
anticipation of the opening of the gallery of the British In-
stitution, that the exhibition is interior to suss of its prede-
cessors, for the mesons, that few members of the Royal
Academy have seat pictures there ; that the collection lacks
paintings of the historical sad firm style ; and that
landscape tato in number over the other fins sot
eableets. tis true there are no grand historical pieces.
Bat are thew indispensable ? Is it not better to do without
some of those large efforts (literally such) which have on
some Foetus occasions grace.!, or rather disgraced, the
walls of the exhibition, end to have more room given, where
the entire space to cover is so small to • numerous class of
less ambitious exhibitors ? The g7isses of laadseapte is not
to be objected to. We grant are aumerose, but they
are generally good, and certainly not so overwhelming in
point of number u to give the collection the
name of a " landscape exhibition." The variety is
sufficient of every subject, and the exhibition, es a
whole, in our opinion, • pleasing one. Bat why have the
academicians Ostained ? We miss Mr. Edwin Landseer's
bold end beautiful style. Is he afield of Mr. Anadell's
rivalry ? That gentleman is a shrewd imitator. Where,
too, are Stanfield, Etty, Matllbr, /Poore ? We must
expect an overwhelming amount of talent expended In pie.
turn for the forthcoming exhibition at the academy. But
let us tarn from regrets at the non-presence of some
eminent men, to exsogratulations for those who have
come forward with effect. The most pvcraisent picture
in the exhibition is that of Mr. Martin, who gives
us another venial' of the subject " Joshua command.
kg the sun to stud still." It is one of those grand
efforts, in the production of which this artist has always been
so eminently anecdotal. Nose can give so wells he the
effects of grandeur and distance. It may be objected per-
haps to the general tone of the picture that It is cold and
laky, but to exaggerate sou it follows that colour mot be
somewhat exaggerated also. Pitted against Mr. Martin is
Mr. Francis Dandy, whose picture of • " Mountain Chief-
tain's Funeral in Olden limes " shows dark and lurid on
the opposite wall. The moon shines bright and
clear in the right hand corner of the picture, and
contrasts well with the light of the torahs* carried by
the funeral procession, bet one is left in doubt whether the
people are ma thing in a torrent or ea torn firma. Mr.
Frank Stone has not given us any sentimental subject to
contemplate ; but two small half-Uwe', " Alice ' end a
" Girl of Brittany " are painted with much grace, vigour,
and finish. Whilst the (orator each light and shade is made
out with force and precision, the result of the whole is bar-
