[TUE TIMES.]

We stated yesterday a few facts concerning
the well-known borough of Iltiester, and its

worthy patron; and we are this dey enabled to

Ibring foi•ward some further circumstances, tend-
I to throw a more distinct light upon the nature
and objects of that conscientious vigilance which
Sir Wm. Manners appears to exercise over the
morality of Ilchester,- and of its electors. In
those boroughs which enjoy the sort of patronage
extended to. Ilchester by Sir Wm. Manners,
the occupiers of certain houses vote for Mem-
bers of Parliament : these are' usually let
at small or nominal rents to the occupiers,
on a well-understood condition that they al-
ways vote for whatever person shall be named as
a Candidate by the Landlord. It thence becomes
his obvious policy to limit the number of electors
within such bounds' as' shall enable him to
manage them' with the least possible difficulty—
or, in other words, to make his borough as saw,
and close as he can. If, therefore, he find;
but two dozen of inhabited houses, yielding
each a constituent .for the representative whom

he .may ordain ,to:be chosen, he will probably
consider a 'little befOre-, he enlarges the' num-
ber of habitations to four dozen or more. If, on
the other hand, the property, when, :it devolves
to him by descent, purchase, or otherwise, exhibits
such a list of inhabitant voters asit may cost
some trouble to• keep in subordination, or as
may expose the-proprietor to some risk of ,oppo-
sition in the event of anew' Parliament,he seeks
to strengthen himself by all means that are con-
sistent with the practices of a gentleman, and,with
the feelings of humanity. He strives-to conci-
liate his tenants, to render .them more comfort-
able, and himself and his family more esteemed
and beloved. If he be a brute and a barbarian,
he will resort to other methods--he will Oppress
and.barass, that be may finally exterminate:. He
will at every opportunity, fair or unfairl oust.the
poor voters from their 'humble dwellings,until he
haS reduced' the constituents of his free arcl' happy.
borough within,. more tractable dimensions, and
retained. jtt-W so much of the old stock as will
furnish' materials for- his.septennial cargo to St.
Stephen's.
