But to destroy the nerve is itself a very painful operation , and often leads to very sad consequences , for the tooth then brcomes a dead substance in the living jaw , and produces ihe same amount of inflammation and pain as would remit from any other forei gn body embodied in a living orgau .

HOW TO MANUFACTURE AN M . P . Every one knows that parliament contributes largely to the literature of the country in the shape of "Blue Books . " They are not usually the moat readable books in the world , though they treat of a great variety of topics , and embody very frequently a vast amount of curious and important information . But the parliamentary book makers are not first-rate literary artists , and do not , therefore , understand how to make the best use of the
abundant materials at their disposal . "Blue Books" are not , however , the onl y literary product of the legislative machine . It occasionally issues large folios , which being without any cover at all , we may call " White Books , " though their contents are sometimes black enough to have the effect which telling truth is said to have upon a certain illustrious personage . Of this last class of parliamentary literature wo have now two specimens before us , containing respectively theevidence taken by the committees on the St , Albans and Aylesbury elections , Nothing more
damaging to the character of our electoral and representative system can be imagined than the revelations thus authoritatively published . Such a confection of perjury , lying venality , drunkenness , debauchery , and baseness of all kinds could not have been dished Up by the most inventive of what certain purists call "immoral" French writers . If a Chartist had ransacked his brains for months , he could not have produced anything so damnatory of the system which makes slaves of the excluded millions and venal , drunken perjurers of the enfranchised
minority . Take the case of St . Albans . That borough has long been known as the most corrupt in England , but at the last election some novelties were introduced , inthe art of bribing , which transcend all its former accomplishments in that way . One of the candidates had declared not only that ho intended to conduct the election on his own part without bribery , but to watch closely the conduct of the opposite party in that respect . This determination apparently caused them to resort to an ingenious device for bribing wholesale and openly without at the same time furnishing direct criminating evidence against the briber . The machinery was certainly clever . An empty house in Chequer-street vas hired for a
limited penod shortly before the election , by the agent of the candidate who ultimatel y secured the seat . It had a back-door opening , into a narrow-lane . In this house the ground floor was appropriated as a general receiving p lace for voters , and fitted up like a country inn with accommodation of all kinds , - especially with the materials for getting drunk . Having been first well plied with liquor and refreshments , the voter was , if fo und eligible for further purposes , conducted up stairs to the principal agent , introduced to him and by a species of pantomime intimated what
, he expected for his vote , If the terms were accepted , the voter was told to walk into the back-room . On doingsothedoorwas immediatel y closed , and he found himself alone with a small able bef ore him , and hi . aw ! written at full ength upon a sheet of foolLp and five sovereigns placed upon it . Having ft iSfr ereI S n . . ^ 'hioh the name < S bell-metal" was given , from the oii-eum-^^ ^^^^ ¦ "" - ¦ . WHgBKLL the voter found the d ch
oor by whi ¦ taVtSS was locked , but another door was opener which was wntten " the w ay down . " ' This led to a dark , narrow passage , and by a back flight of stairs to a door in the lower regions ^ , JP t e h d h lMitog , and the votSnd himself in the narrow back alley , which w since the . election , received the apZ > r £ name of " Soverei gn-allev " E a closed behind him X a Lw and ± S J ^ . ^ & ^ Eft

petition against the return was presented , and then ensued a series of equally disgraceful occurrences . Witnesses , who could have proved facts that would have criminated the sitting member , were pursued , and taken away from the custody of the persons who had served Speaker ' s warrants upon them . Others were abducted by the agents on their way to town . Those who were secured and brought before the Conimitteo gave evidence in ihe most prevaricating spirit ; they either fenced with the questions—pretended to have lost all recollection of facts—or were guilty of downright perjury , In vain were the police set to search for the missing witnesses . The
moment they got scent of them they found the indefatigable agent of the sitting member had been beforehand with them ,, and removed them to another place . The Committee believed , or affected to believe , themselves bound , by certain rules of evidence , to prevent questions from being asked , which , if put , would have settled the question at once , and at last defied , thwarted , bamboozled , and disgusted , they ended by declaring the election had been carried by " gross corruption j" that they had been unable to investigate the matter thoroughly , in consequence of the abduction of material witnesses , but that the sitting member was duly elected !
Since then rewards have been offered for the missing witnesses without effect ; and thus a single person , with a long purge , aud an unscrupulous agent , has been able to defy the House of Commons , and to beat it , in spite of all the immense powers at its disposal and its boasted privileges . At Aylesbury the machinery by which the electors were corrupted was somewhat different , and had the superadded vice of hypocrisy . The candidate ostentatiously
proclaimed his determination to restrict his expenditure to purely legal expenses . He gave formal and solemn instructions to his principal agent , that he was on no account to pay a single penny that was not proper and necessary ; the principal agent repeated these instructions to all tbo subordinate agents , and on the surface all was pure and honourable . This was all intended for the public . The real agencies by which the election was to be won were of a very different description . About a week before the election an
unknown personage , dressed in black , and variously described as to personal appearance and age by the reluctant witnesses , made his appearanco in Aylesbury , where he soon became celebrated under the name of ' ? the Man in the Moon . " This mysterious visitor forthwith " opened '' most of the public houses inthe town and district , and an organised system of treating was commenced upon a large scale . In addition , " the Man in the Moon" scattered sovereigns about , in little packages of five , as liberally as if there were half a dozen Californias in that satellite at his
command ; and the consequence was , that under his auspices " all went merry as a marriage bell" in Aylesbury . Everybody got drunk at tho expense of the " Man in the Moon , " who , somehow or other , was connected in the minds of the voters with Mr . Calvert , one of the candidates . How that association of ideas was brought about is not for us to say ; but its effect was seen at the polling booth . Mr . . Calvert was returned . He , however , sat but for a short time for the immaculate borough
of Aylesbury . < ' The Man in the Moon" was a very clever conception ; but it , unfortunately , did not prevent the proof of direct agency in treating being traced to the sitting member . Mr . Calyerx was unseated . Perhaps his respect for appearances was against him . Had he pursued the same bold defiant and unscrupulous course as won « i victory for St . Albans , lie might still rejoice in adding the two magic letters M . P . to his name . None but the brave deserve the prize .
Such is tlie practical working of our electoral system . We have merely glanced at its most obvious results ; but it is impossible for any reader , possessing the most moderate endowment of right feeling , to peruse tho pages of these two reports and not feel deeply humiliated as well as disgusted with their contents . It is not the palpable prevarication , the unblushing violation of solemn oaths which alone meet tho eye—but tho utter disregard of tho principles of honour or morality which
, characterises the conduct of all parties concerned in these infamous and demoralising scenes . The quibbles of the lawyers , the fencing with truth of so-called " respectable men , " and the unfitaess of a Parliamentary Committee to deal with such questions , are not loss revolting to a ri ghtly constituted mind than the scenes of beastly indulgence , in which "the freo and independent electors" of these small sink-holes wallow at the time of an election .
_ If the whole system had been avowedly designed to debase and demoralise all parties concerned in such transactions , it could not have been more effectual . Tho idea of a healthy political morality co-existing with it , either among the bribers or tho bribed , is preposterous . The infection spreads through all ranks of society—from the benches of the House of Commons down to the benches of the lowest taproom , where besotted voters are plied with drink by the ready tools of the rich corruptor .
Can there be a greater insult to the intelligent , orderly , and industrious working classes of this country , than to tell them that their enfranchisement would be more injurious to the country , than a rotten and corrupting system like this ? Those who thus calumniate and malign them know well the falsehood of the allegation . " They know that if the People ' s Charter became the la w of the laud wealth wouldno longer have the power of coevebs , tempting , buying , or debasing poverty . It would be compelled to be satisfied with its
legitimate influence , and to exercise it through legitimate channels . In tho long run , this would bo a great advantage not only to society , but to the possessors of wealth themselves . Instead of spending their money in a mode certain to debase-they would aim at educating , elevating , and refining tho great body ^ of the people- " The man in tho moon " would be succeeded by the popular teacher of art and science—the dirty tap room by Peonies Colleges , Libraries , and Public Parks and Gardens . Tho enactment of the People s Charter would be the certain precursor of a steady and progressive improvement m the national character . .

' ^ 11 that seems necessary to state at present is that Mr . O'Connor is , as he has everbeon '
prepared to act honestly and justly to all who have trusted in his honour . Every step ho has taken has been with the determination that , as far as he is concerned , no ono shall lose a single penny . The bill that is before the committee at the moment we write will , no doubt , undergo careful examin ation ! Should it receive their sanction , and that of the house , we shall then be in a position to state definitely theflpiature of the arrangements which have been made for protecting tho interests of all parties , and we believe that , high as Mr . O'Connor's character and dis .
mterestedness has ever stood among the great body of the Chartists , they will place him still higher in their estimation . In the mean , time wo are happy to say , that in all parts of the country the people sympathise with him under the unmerited and cruel persecutions to which he is exposed , alike from opeu foes and professing friends . They may be assured that the right will triumph in the end .

PARLIAMENTARY . Another week wasted , It would bo far more creditable to shut up at once , than to exhibit to the world this pitiable spectacle of mingled reluctance and incapacity to fulfil its duties . The Times says it is impossible for the Great Exhibition and Parliament to be open at tho same time ; and it would appear as though there were some truth in the assertion —for , literall y nothing has been done since
the portals of the Glass House were thro wn open to the public . This week we have another " break down " added to tho long list which have already distinguished tho Session of 1851 . Tho whole Session itself will only be remembered in history , if remembered at all , as a great "break down . " "Count out * ' is the general order of tho day . No matter whether the question is the extension of tho Suffrage at home , or the restriction of
transportation to the Colonies , "theHouse " is equally indisposed to listen to it . The only question on which it can bo kept together 13 tho bill directed against the Cardinal and the new Romish Bishops ; and with that ifc does not make the slightest progress . Monday night was spent in fruitless efforts to proceed with it in committee , which were defeated by the "Irish brigade , " under the command of Mr . Reynolds . The " lion . Member for Dublin ' ' possesses all the qualifications for conducting this kind of obstructive policy , in tho hest
hig perfection ; and if he only coiitinuos as he has begun , Parliament may sit till Christmas on this bill , and theu fiud it addled after all . Wednesday was " Derby day , " on which , of course , our hardly-worked legislators required a holiday ; and thus tho Session wanes . In fact , no party moves , More or loss , all make a pretence of doing so but if they are watched closely , it will be scon that they place their feet precisely on tho spot from which they lifted them . Perhaps it is better that we should all stand still ; but if would it not
so , be better to say so honestly and frankly , instead of pretending that wo want to move when we do not ? In the history of nations there is sometimes as much wisdom in resting to take breath as in pushing forward . If parties are so equally balanced that real movement is impossible , would it not be right to abandon sham motion , and wait until it is practicable to march again ? Our present course of protending to antici pate real progress is only calculated to bring genuine demands into contempt . The onl y business that Parliament can do this year is , to vote the taxes , and dissolve itself : and it is to be hoped that it will bring its present" make-believe »
performances to a close as speedil y as possible . The debates on Thursday night on Capital I umshmont , Public Education , and tho Hop Duty , all point to the same conclusion , The legislative machinery of the country is out of order , and must be sent into the repairing shop . After the repeated discussions which the Mucatioual question has undergono of late years , it is truly deplorable to find the House of Common s retrogressing . Last year , Mr . Fox had leave to introduce his bill , and it had at least the honour of a second reading ; this year , the proposal to introduce it was negatived by a majority of ninety , aud that , too , in the face of tho fact , that the
movement out of doors has been steadily advancing in numbers and power . It desciTC 3 to do so , for we kno w of none which in a more conciliatory and practical spirit has at tempted to grapple with the complicated difficulties ^ of fcl ) e question , or which has better succeeded in adapting its measures to the actual wants of the couutry . The debate on Ihursday had tho advantage of showing exactly upon what ground the opponents of public education take their stand . Perhaps few of them would like to be so candid in their avowals as Sir 11 . Inglis , but at bottom their
reason i 3 the same as his . They think that ignorance is best for the " inferior classes ; " like him , they look upon knowledge as an unmixed evil , unless it be largely adulterated with a whining , canting , and false instruction , invented by aristocrats and priests for the purpose of debasing aud enslaving the minds of those whom they desire to keep i » bodil y subjection . It is just as well that tlio people sho uld understand the real reason of their opposition . When they do , that opposition will have Bmall chance of preventing the realisation of an efficient , honest , aud general plan of education .

The immediate results niay be this summed up :-Two gentlem enlkilled , one American lady , leg fractured , three American gentlemen bruieea and injured , one Irish gentlemen both legs broken , four others , limbs fractured , besides others variousl y injured .
