How EuaIl-h Elections nrc Conducted.

The London Ngws gives the following de
sciiption Of the manner in VIII ch tho repressn'
tative principle Of government is carried out
in the British Metropolis -
Il is not many years since defeated cInii-
date foi the city OF Westminster was salutod
by hills amounting 70 nearly, It not quito,
1000. When Lord Formoy WAS elected for
Marylcbonc, ho had to pay upwatd' of tj,0OO
for Iii election NJ the last contos, for that
borough, nearly Cj, 900 was spent by the can
didl.es Mr.. John Locke bal, It il notorious,
to nay very heavily for his seat in S1u'h Rark.
Sir Morton pe,o's audited accounts reaching
total. il we Tec5llect Alright, Of some $4,000 and
Il Ia generally understood thlta sharply contest
od election for tinsbury cannot be carried on
ior much less than II, 900 a side. A rccoat
contest hl, reminded the public Of the existence
or a set of extOrtionqte persons, who insist ON
employment on these OccasiOns-whO affect to
have influence and power they do no IN realily
poses and who have a set ui inferior tools
aud Instruments quite as riplciOu7, ready To he
let loose on the electoral bOly aud on the cluii-
dates. The COsi of thC5' AGENTS AMI OF their
followers, the pail canya Ser1, con6t'utes one of
the heaviest items of the expenditure in metro
politan elections. Next TO il In enOrmity and
scandal is the publiG-hou7e system. IL is the
fashion among many ol the smaller Talesmeh
Of London 10 assemble i'm taycrns IN
the evenings after business, for such Tcir sl-
the consequence is that publicans aro sup
posed to cNerciso very considerable influence
over their customer, ~ to which Of the Lib raj
candidates ought to be supported, To conciliate
| the puhicans candidates are induced by the
| elcctonccTing agents to take committee-roon'
| al probably 100 taycrns, each at the expense ul
some 80. Thus an expenditure Of probably
| another Il 900 Is imposed on the candidate -
| Then, there is q vast amount OF unnecessary
printing, a good deal OF drinking, which appcar-
a, stationery in the auditors accounts, a pll'
clerk and messenger attached 10 each com
mitlcc-room and u host Of small petty Charge
~ hich easily aggregate into a suhstmtla
spm by the time the contest is over
Aud on the dav Of polling comes the aLOminahl
! cab SYSTEM for on that day electors VIII
| probably never ride in a cab ON any other Occ
sion during the year, have the molnness to In
sist on heing conveyed az the candidate cost
the polling booths. II is because Of this accr
mutation Of expenditure that election agents ar
able to warn wOuld-be candidates Tor Mar le
bone that a contested election there costs Cac
from q, 600 10 60 600, and to tell those wb
a.pire to Flnsbury that they mutt have at lea
Gi, 600 in their pockets TO throw away. II wa
but the other day a gentleman, desirou- OF sui
/ miting his pretenbions TO the electors ol Fin
bury, was plainly told that the II, 800 to Nhic
| he proposed to limit lis expenses would no, d
, | and that he must more than double that sum
| have any chance Of success.
