Tire Germans might have been pretty well con vinced before tie time—but, at least they cannot fail to be so now—that the unity or common nationality of I their country is something altogether incompatible with the existence of a wore of kings and princes, all thinking and struggling for their family interests and individual ambitions, without caring one buttes mere for the German people than they do for a Seek of sheep, of whose wool and of whose flesh they um merely anxious to make the most nourishment and profit. The Germans have been, indeed, unfortunate. The first principles of modern freedom and of a five government are to be traced to them. I C asil rt; of religious liberty were first asserted and vindisated by them. And yet, in the middle of the nineteenth century, forty millions of brave and intelligent Ger mans are at the mercy of half a dozen despots, and of the military force, which these poor Germans are de cimated and taxed to form and to pay. Never was a greater mass of intelligence subjected to a more un intelligent collection of brute forceand barbarian power. I The Germans, indeed, have always been ready to stand up and fight for their liberties and far their country ; but they never knew how to Kenn or ren der permanent the enjoyment of the one or the inte- Cy of the o th er. Their motto thrwigh centuries been to trust their princes. And what has this trust produced P Au empire partitioned, insulted, and at last conquered—a people enslaved, liberty of the press, of that great instrument of enlightenment, which Germans invented, denied to German use; jadicial procedure still conducted after written and secret forms; taxation decreed of his own plenary power by the sovereign—all the abases, in fact, and all the galling and tyrannical absurdities of feudalism end servitude. The great enemy of German freedom and inde pendence, and the great betrayer of German honour, has, from first to last, been Austria, which indeed has been the only great example in Europe of an empire that had no basis, or no bond, or no conscience, of na tionality. but which was founded exclusively on the monstrous principle that an empire was the mere patrimony of a family. Austria or its princes have never had a German or a national feeling, even when adorned with the title and the crown of the German Emperor. To persecute sad destroy religious freedom; to filch and absorb inde pendent provisoes; to ran after the crown of Spain, or the mown of Naples, or the sovereignty of the Netherlands—this has been always the policy and the barium of the House of AUSTRIA. And such was its preposterous ambition, that at the very time when the Turks beleaguered the fortifications of Vienna, and threatened to convert Austria Proper into a Pdabommedan land, the princes and generals of Austria made fierce efforts to destroy protestant and German freedom, whilst they left the rescue of their own capital and Christian existents, to the valises of the Poke. To oppose this monster empire, the most deadly foe that civilisation and religious freedom have yet encountered, the German protestants raised up several princes, first of Saxony, then of Sweden, and lastly el Prussia. The Prussian kingdom has grown eat of the antagonism; but of necessity it grew up like its rival, a military monster. The Germans were so hr successful that they raised up an effestad rival to Austria. But the remedy has been almost es bad as the disease ; the iliesder as tyrannical me the be. Instead of one gaoler the Germans are in the hands of two. There is but cm power that ean deliver Gormaey from both, and that is the power of public and and the increase of these elms, opal& of indimendent opinions and sappertieg them We were bmges that those classes were Weedy strong mese to have prf vailed, and by suppeeting the re ari ght ammi bliss, were it bat thit of Frankfort, 'eight have eons tabakuwed the power and inflames of the military nimarchiss. In this we have bees disap-oin,. tad. Public opining in Germany, affrighted by the theo ries of the new democracies, and by the anarchy and troubles which they raised, shrunk away ia despond. ems, and the military governments have rectemeall undisputed sway. Wasson,. and WINDISCRGRATI are the lords of Germany, and the last spark of a ppaerrliamentary debate which still lingers in life at Praskfert is merely to decide, which of these smila chioed heroes c'.vic and ceniral Germany shall sur render to. If Germany had a soul, it would morn to bow tie knee to either. Bat what it had of soul, has been pricked out by bayonets. Two military g!nreeeey however, descend into the forum Otter having re vioady filled it with soldiers), to demand the mime ef the (arias through the Frankfort deputies. We do not think there as be a moment's hesitation be- Mean them Pressman government and ideas are at had a century in advance of Austria. Prossiawill evi dently enjoy some form of representative government. Preemies towns have municipal rights. Prussian students enjoy freedom and reality of education. The ruling clam of Prussia must be the aristocracy of talent and superior information, instead of being the lords of game parks and feudal servitudes. And even the very army of Prussia cannot be an instrument of brutal and sanguinary despedem, we of web dresaki al/voidss as were committed in the resist each of Vienna by the Croats and Belavoniene: Prue*. Is fag, is German i hearsay and its avveressent hatred neeessarily with a fair portion of German spirit and nationality. Whilst all that was Gemmel ia Austria has been trodden out by the trap tt Woman aim, and the whole country Bavaria& se SSW pletely, as to have won a shower of nes mums and red eagles from his Idejesty of All the Rade, upon the breast of Austrian oommanders. We think* sincerely hope that the Fraakfort As- Ismelfri smategeptible as has been its career. will et hest net pot the seal upon its infamy b handing over Okay to the murderers of Bum. The Emma AUSTRIA has evidently no idea of preservieg • t rides‘ leg ooestitritioual government in his states. What he does keep of it, is a mere sham for the occasion. The King of Palmas has at least promulgated • esnatitutiou, such is it is, which it is responsible so recall. Nor can he give Central Germany less than he has conferred on Prussia. Under Austrian rule, every institution granted in March last will in fallibly be swept away. Under Prussian lead, much of the edi fi ce will be left remain4 t and the political education of the German people will, at least, not be completely interrupted. W. would premise, however, that although our hopes may be for Prussian ascendancy, Austria &p -ens to have more chance to win the disputed crown. The awkward and vacillating King of PRUSSIA did not hearken to or conciliate that only man to whom the revolution gave importance, and from whom it has as yet taken none. MORAN could have given FREDERICK Winugx the imperial crown. Bet we cannot believe that GAGERN is now entrusted with ministerial power by the Archduke lons in order to bring about the election of the King of Pausing. We must be permitted to believe the contrary of this evert However we may think about the elevation of the King of PRUSIIIA to the throne of CHARLEM %ONE, we doubt his acquiring much strength in Germany, much unity from the circumstance. All the smaller priories, with Bavaria at their head, would enter into a firm opposition against Prussia. And the feud between north and south Germany—as between royalist and liberal Germans, will be rendered wider than ever. As to Germany in such a position presenting a firm and united front to French ambition, that is a hope less can. Far from this, we believe that if the Germans were at this moment polled to elect an emperor, they would vote neither for FREDERICK WILLIAM nor for FRANCIS JOSEPH, but for LOUIS NAPOLEON, so great is the disgust, the legiti mate disgust, for all that is princely in Germany. Our tories may patronise the restoration of despotic power, and they no doubt do mender the tremendous mistake that despotic power can best resist French ambition. Never were they more in error. With Germany free, as she was in June, if one French eel ' dier advanced to the Rhine, the Germans would all have risen as a man to repel them. Now. with Ger many enslaved, we do think that if Louts Box...perm or M. Trusts marched an army to Mayenee, they would be met, not by bayonets, but by welcome accla mation. Thus it is that one torn' would preserve the peace and the balance of power in Europe. Whilst the strength and independence of Germany are what most concern us, the unity and freedom el their country are whit most interest Genness. And whilst we find the strength and independense of the country prostrated by the restoration of ' power, the Germans find, not only all bopee de e;r: dom, but of unity, evaporate. It is only by humbling and limiting the power and pretensions of princes, that they can ever obtain one or the other. WITH the exception of special pleading, which, under the protecting care of certain astute judges, has now reached the utmost limit of conceivable absurdity, no part of our law bears deeper traces of the feudal period than the law of real property. Its whole his tory exemplifies the pertinacious virulence with which the love of gold has always caused lawyers to up hold, and the sluggish apathy with which a Chinese dread of innovation has sometimes led the English people to witness, the worst and most indefensible abuses. The entire: evasion of the 27 Henry VIIL c. 10 (transferring the possession of land to the use), by adding three words to a oonveyanoe, is perhaps as remarkable an instance of the triumph of pettifoggers on the bench, and at the bar, over the declared and salutary purpose of parliament as the annals of legis lation can supply. That law was annihilated by one of those wretched quibbles encouraged with such parental care by those to whom we have resignbd the greater part of the task of legislation—as if, forsooth, those who know what the law u, were the best judges of what it ought to be, and the consequence has been a system of conveyancing so varied in its details, so complicated in its structure, so ruinous in its expense, beset by so many fictions, and leading to so many pit falls, that the judicial history of any country, of Normandy itself in the feudal ages, may ransacked in vain to find, not its counterpart, but anything approaching to a state of things so oppres sive and so treacherous. The offspring of monastic cunning and of feudal violence, it combines the fraud of one parent with the barbarity of the other. It has bees, even where it has not brought ruin with it, a perpetual source of anxiety and litigation. To a large and most valuable class, once the strength and kernel of the nation, it has rendered landed property almost unattainable • and yet the desoendanta of those who fought at Crecy and Agincourt, and who followed HAMPDEN to Chalgrove field, would fain invest their leavings in the land which they have been bred to cultivate, and to which they * cling with hereditary affection. Bat the parchment Nets more than the soil to which it transmits a right that it often fails to guarantee. The expense of investigations of title at the present day is great—a few years since it was overwhelming. Without such an investigation the buyer might find himself suddenly deprived of pro( rar d ty which the ancumulations of • life of self-denia ben employed to purchase : with it the same re sult often happened. The judges resented with great asperity any at tempt to open the labyrinth in which they had trodden till they had lost the faculty of reasoning on broad principles, or of comprehending a general pro position. Lord MANSFIELD, whose ideas on the subject' of jurisprudence (where questions between man sad man were alone °accented) were more exact mai luminous than those of any other judge, expensed his indignation in very strong terms at the frauds which were incorporated with the system, and had become a part of its essence. After his death his de cision was overruled, and his name is rarely men tioned by English lawyers without a sneer. It was not till the 3 & 4 Will. IV., c. 74, that fines and recoveries, which resembled the whimsical ca price of a misoldevoss goblin, rather than the absurd invention of a pedant, were, in defiance of convey ancers, lawyers, and judges, at length abolished. And it was not till the 7 & 8 Vtc., o. 74, that the distinction between executory devises and contingent remainders, so fertile in vvxatiosis chicanery, was done away. He who simplifies the transfer of title to land will be a real benefactor to the •grkultural popu lation. He will do more to guard against anarchy than all the conservative associations and declaimers against popular rights. Two hundred thousand peasants, each the proprietor of a small spot of ground, came up to Paris the other day from the provinces, with their muskets on their shoulders, and put down the social lets! The absurd state of oar law of real pregeely has had Its full share in breaking down the elms et yeomen—the ohms from which Csoxwm.i. drew the squadrons that made Europe tremble. Them is no rampart against lawless violence so impregnable as a large There are of small proprietors. are three principal points to which immove ment of the law as it efforts landed estates should be directed. The first, and ens that uit involves a more rational system of jurisprudence in other respects, will of course meet with the fiercest opposition, is the abo lition of the distinction which now prevails between courts of equity and theomomon law courts. This as it now exists is a seonstdr In jurisprudence. Ask any moinett i mi French or German jurist, or any of the groat arida of former times in other countries, their of two systems of laws always different, sow. tredictary, followed in two supreme courts of the 1 same age and the same *eoantry. Yoe would be thought a " mamas pkilsont." Yet with us a suitor has no chance in one of these Oburts; his Memory has none in the other; risii axe evidence is the boast of one court • written depositions are used exclusively in the other. The legal claim is the sole object thought of in one court ; the equitable right is alone considered in the other. Coitts of Null were in a barbarous age a refuge from the chime of Norman lawyers; men of more learning and humanity gene rally presided in them than the FaVkge pettifoggers who browbeat the weak and crouched te the power- fel in the courts of common law. Equit37 --- by giving occasional redress, has perpetuated abu t , which otherwise would hrve become long ag e j ig*. losable. But is chicane now to be tolerated in ass wart, because at an expense almost fabulous ye a , obtain some relief from it in another? Woaig t t - Z, be wises, by abolishing the chicane, t o res i n t i' s application for redrew; unnecessary ? So perverse is our administration of the law, u l t. the court to which rather more enlightene d sat milder principles sometimes find their way i n , the incredible expense and delay attending its endings., the most terrible weapon that the on sets* can employ. The infliction of a Chancery slut c e man of ordinary fortune may satiate the most ispi t „ cable revenge. There is nothing in DANTI auk gives the idea of torture at the same time so tea t% and excruciating. The next point to which we would call attentieu the registration of deeds. It is truly characteristic of English jurisprudence that this important peu t ia, should be applied in two counties only, Midgi t ,W it and Yorkshire. If it is pernicious, why allow it u prevail at all? if it is beneficial, why not apply it universally? Such is the effect of the narrow views and intense selfishness of lawyers, whom we In simple enough to consider oracles on the subject at legal reform. What do Lord Chancellors and c lawyers care about legal reform ? The syste m , i t t i t all its faults—and usually in consequence of lb * faults—has pat them where they are ; and that is an they need to know or care about it. Iditt plaudo Time donst simul se nummos contemplor in arc; has ever been their maxim. Lastly, we come to the abolition of the law of entail. The time when land was considered as the means, s i c of support, but of power and protection, has p ale d away. The proprietor of a sine.* acre is as ca r e s the proprietor of a county. The law of eutsil therefore no longer necessary to prevent the capri ce(' extravagance of a single man from endaug er i ne the security of thousands. It surely will not be cced es d i d that each generation has not an equal right tad* * of the surface of the soil on which they dwell ss they think proper. Property in laud does not rest an exactly the same ground as other property. No tee made the land. It is defended, and unanswerablyds. fended, by the argument that the proprietor of land is an improver. Bat entails are beetle to improvemeat. They render it difficult in all cases, and impossible is some. Not only are great proprietors for the most pert in Ergland not improvers, but liberty of calti. Teflon is for the most part granted on terms that pre. vent improvement. The " pays de Wu'," i n Flanders, composed of the same material es the Good. win Sands, is one of the most fertile spots in Enrope. We may be quite sure that the law of entail does not prevail there; again, there is a natural tendency in the rich to become more rich, and in the poor to become more poor. These tendencies certainly ought not to be encouraged by positive institutions—nnthee the immense proprietor nor the destitute outcast me the most useful members of society. The law of ex. tail does, however, tend to increase that inequality ; it ought, therefore, to be abolished. Without adopt ing the compulsory system of France, lend ought to be free. The course of time would do the rest. Mr. MACCULLOCCA arguments in favour of the law den ten are really ridiculous. They are among the wort specimens of that vacillation which detracts so and from his authority. In America, where the law of entail u abolishei, and where there are few greet proprietors, industry is almost a vice. This is a com plete answer to the notable argument that it is moue airy to make the son of every landed proprietor I beggar to prevent him from being a dunce. On the night of the 16th of last October a trifling affray occurred in the harbour of Hong-konr, between a party of Englishmen, passengers in a China best, and the crews of two t rading junks. The affray was so trifling that one of the Englishmen refused to trouble the police with it ; and we have the authority of the deputy-inspector, that the one who complained to him was " laughing about the matter," while he gm the information. A detachment of police put off ix the junks, but their attempt to board was resisted. They applied for assistance to the commander of her Majesty's ship Cambrian, who sent four boats and 98 sailors and marines. A regular fight took place, which ended in the capture of the janl s' crews sad the death of two Chinamen and one policeman. It was proved on the inquests that no peen except the harbour-master can board a junk of Teasel in Hong-Kong harbour without the can sent of the master, unless he is armed with a warrant, and accompaLied by a constable. The har bour-feaster did not accompany the party of police who attempted to board the junks, and they had no warrant. Their attempt to jboard was made at night, and several witnesses (both Eurepeans and Chinese) swore that several junks have been robbed b y . pirates in the harbour of Hong-kong ; and the superintendent of polioe stated that about a year and a half before " there were two instances of rob bery by violence in the harbour by persons represent ing themselves as policemen, and two cases of extor tion by Chinese in the employ of government." In thane circumstances the jurymen composing the inquest very properly returned a verdict, in the ease of the two Chinese, that they had met their deaths at the hands of some sailors and marines unknown, while offering to an attempt to board their nosh resistance which appears to the jury to have beet justified by the necessity for_tr,ding junks protecting themselves from being boarded by strangers and pre tended policemen, as well as by the existing regula tions of the Hong-kong government, issued to junks anchoring in the harbour. A similar verdict, midis tnutandis, was returned in the case of the policeman. To the first verdict the jury ap pended the following note :—" The jury have considered it to be their duty to pursue the in quiry into several matters not connected with the deaths of these two men, but the investigation el which may tend to prevent the recurrence of suck disasters, and seems of importance to the reputed= l and prosperity of the colony." The truth and important* of these remarks are an questionable. The fact that junks have been plea dared in Hong-tong harbour by sham policemen is enough to prevent the resort of traders to the slop; and the deaths of two unoffending traders while • gaged in resisting an attempt to board their mad under dead of night by unknown and armed seal who produced no legal authority, was calculated le • increase the prejudice and animosity against Euro • pans which prevail among the Chinese. The spirited and independent conduct of the coreade jury has had an excellent effect upon the temper d the natives. But to be productive of Wig good it would require to be followed sap the part of the Hong-kong government by a mob% amendment of their harbour and police vegulatilade and more efficient and judicious enforcement of dem. We regret to add that the local government, WWI of evincing say disposition to make this use d si lamentable an event, appears to be animated e by a spirit of paltry anger et the " presumption • of the jury in reeding them a lesson. The same mail which has brought the soma ef this untoward incident, brings another illestrelka the incompetency of our government staff is lb Chinese waters. The master of an English ooatlisß vessel was put upon his trial for the alleged capture of a junk with violence, on which ameba several Chinese were killed a cid wounded. Ili rilvessel is one of those who drive ls in protecting native junks m idst% Am 4Ta; and it appeared from the t t h es at he attacked the junk in question (end sad junks on other occasions) on their being " pointed ad - aas t in , though not so . engaged at th e time." The wide field for abuse opened if private edentate's an allowed to attack native vessels on ex parte glatesols le obvious. The grand jury, however, found " 'true bill;" end very properly, for the consul at filasgbee hadoonducted the preliminary investigates es spa which the indictment rested in a manner sae la balance of legal form and common kudos; sad the principal witness was so carelessly looked after et Hearkong, that he wee " fingered off the board." We have on more than one occasion felt it noose. =L call attention to the in try oar commerce in th e waters is suffering from the impertinent and vexatious excess of regulation in which our " Super intendant of Trade" (the Governor of Hong-Xone) and his subordinate consular establishments et the five ports indulge. They are actually throwing the whole carrying trade of these ems into the hands of the Americans. We have also, more than once, had ocess!on to point out that the Wee and mischievous principles of colonial government, which more or lest injure the whole of oar colonies, are rigorously rid pedantically acted upon at Hong -Kon g .
