The firmness which we noticed a few days ago hie increased daily, and a fair extent of business in all articles at improved rata has been the consequence. Deliveries from the fanners in all the leading markets beingshort, and miller.' stocks low, buyers have been driven to factors for supplies. Whetherthe improved appearance of things and the general advance of about So. per qr. from the lowest point will muse farmers to thrash freely, remains to be seen, but we incline to think we shall see better supplies in another fortnight. At this day's market there was a very fair supply of Wheat from the /amen, chiefiy new ; condition and quality very good; high prices were demanded, and millers being rather free buyers an advance of 6s. to 6s. per qr. was obtained. The stock of foreign Wheat here is much lees than generally imagined-less considerably than any other port of similar importance-and, being in few hands, is held very firmly. The sales made to-day were at 41. to ss. above the low rates of a fortnight ago. Dannic is worth 665. to 60s. per qr. Fresh red Wheat scarce, and good Odessa also in small cam pus. Spring Corn participates in the general improvement. Ranieri Oats are sable at an advance of Is. to `L. per Grinding Barley goes off freely at our quotations. doing in malting qualities. Beans i improve less than gear articles, but are l.hely to follow. Peas n demand, but scarce. Arrivals of Ryemeal continue, and more is at hand. This is decidedly the beat market for this article; it is get ting most extensively used in the large district behind us, and we have heard of no instance where it has given dissatisfaction. The daily demand is great, at about 10s. per ton advance during the week. The imports of LiIIIO d are considerable, but a large propor tion being for crushers' account, not much comes= the mar ket; prices are consequently well supported. Linseed Cakes continue in great demand, and both Hull and foreign are low in stock. Nothing doing in Rapeseed. Rape Cakes scarce, and saleable at our currency.

LtvaxrooL, Sept. 14.-During the week ending yester day we bare received little grain or Flour, either coastwise or from Ireland; from abroad, however, though abort of last week's importations, we have to note a fair 'supply of Wheat and Indian Coro, including several arrivals of other grain, and 56,636 barrels of Flour. Influenced by the ex ample of Mark lane yesterday, and the re-appearance el many country buyers at our Corn Exchange this morning, all the leading articles of the trade were held Witk it creasing firmness at improving rates. For English, lAa h. and Foreign Wheats the demand was considerable, as well for local as country consumption ; and on advance of Is. per 701 b. apart the currency of Tuesday last was indiscriminately established. American Flour, being still very largely dis persed in various dire.ctions throughout the United K the stook here is rapidly diminishing ; and matfett% meet a lively and extensive sale, the best, as well as in ferior brands, commanded 4s. per barrel over the terms of this day sennight. Grinding Barley and Beans, meeting an improved inquiry, were ls. to 2s. per qr. higher. Malt dell and rather depressed in value. Oats, being in fair re quest, advanced 3d. to 411. per 451 b., and Oatmeal 2s. per load. The demand for Indian Corn becoming more general, the transactions, on both English and Irish account, were extensive again to-do ), at an amendment of 2s. to 3s. pm 4801 b. ; and Indian Meal, being taken freely, was Ia per bd. dearer.

WOOL—HUDDERSFIELD, Sept 14.—The Wool business has been very quiet during the past week, a few choice lots of middle qualities only being taken off. Prices of all kinds of British colonial Wools are stationary, with no present prospect of improvement. Anything clean, and free Irom burr or seed, in Sydney or Port Philip Wools, at prices from 16d. to I9d. per lb., seem to be most in request. SALISBURY, Sept. 14.—Trade very dull, the best barely reaching 121 d. per lb. ; one-third common, mixed with teg, 12d.; one-half, 11d.; three-fourths, 10d.; coarse, 9d. CATTLE, &C.—LIVERPOOL, Sept. 13.—We have had a very large supply of all kinds of stock to-day; the greater part of a second-rate and icferbr quality ; conse quently, anything good is eagerly sought after, and fetches high prices for this time of the year. Beef, 54d. to 6d. per lb. ; Mutton, 6d. to 60. Cattle imported into Liverpool from Thursday to yesterday : Cows, 937 ; Calves, 69 ; Sheep, I 3,620 ; Lambs, 66; Pigs, 136 ; Horses, 63. Iltairmrs, Sept. B.—Although this was • show-day for Woolpit, there were very few small change-hand cattle in the market. The scarcity of pasture and unfavourable news of Barnet are likely to make the market rather a dull one. We only observed two lots of old Galloway., and one of Highlanders. One lot of the Galloway. were good cattle, but low in condition, and might be worth from 111. toil guineas, about which price they were likely to be sold. For Yesterday's Markets ses last paps.

TnE revolutions in progress in the social and civil relations of European states are not greater than those which are opening upon the young states of the New World, and scarcely such legitimate sources of anxiety. We do not indeed participate to their full extent in the apprehensions expressed by the venerable JOHN QUINCY ADAMS, in a letter alluded to by our Boston correspondent. We do not believe that the states of the American Union will for centuries be so rotten ripe as to follow the example of earlier republics by seeking shelter from the storms of faction beneath the despousm of some lucky soldier. But it is impossible to overlook the fact that the severe republican morals et the founders of the republic have, to a very consider able extent, ceased to animate the rulers at Washing ton. Some revelations, which we quoted several months ago from a distinguished New York journal, respect ing the political intrtgues of what are called " bill widows at Washington, show that the influences which sway the cabinet and legislature of the United States differ as little from those which prevail in the monarchical states of Europe, as the foreign policy of the Anglo-Saxon republic in regard of Mexico, differs from that of England in regard of India, or France in regard of Algeria. In their approach to the ideal of scientific politicians of the BENTHAM school, !ii; tO4 THE EXPRESS, WEDNESDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 15, 1847. the It Mans of America are decidedly in advises of the people. The sentiments and =s et which there impart their form and to political events, differ (if at all) leas from those which are operative in Europe than the forms al government. In endeavouring to anticipate the raters of the United States, we must look less to con stitutional forms and fictions than to popular cha rmer. Notwithstanding the surmises of the party at pre med in opposition in the United States, we have little dank that the war with Mexico approaches its close, sad that it will terminate agreeably to the wishes of the government which began it. No doubt appears to be anywhere entertained of General Scorr's being able to enter the city of Mexico. As little does it seem to be doubted that he will be able, when there, to patch up a Mexican go vernment that will make peace with the cabinet at Washington on its own terms. These are, the cession to the United States of all the territory at present possessed or claimed by Mexico north of a certain parallel of latitude. The Americans having thus obtained a formal title to the country they wish to acquire, will evacuate the southern province*, which they have no object in acquiring at present; and their ability to retain any territory that may be ceded to them, in defiance of any Mexican government that can be organised, is beyond dispute. Bat then comes the question, what effect the acqui sition of this apple of discord is to have upon the internal organisation of the Union itself? The views prevalent in the slave-owning states, and those of the partisans of the Witmer proviso, are utterly irreconcilesble. Will this occasion a secession of the states of the north and north-west from the slave owning states? The alternative of the enactment of the WILMOT proviso, or a dissolution of the Union, is already boldly spoken of in the New England states; but in this we suspect there is more cr j than wooL As was long ago remarked by Captain BASIL HALL, there is an intense loyalty to the Union throughout America: and the thorough-going devotees of ne gro rights would not be found so numerous among the abo litionists when it came to break up the Union in act, as when it is only to be spoken about in stimulating sgesebee. The strongly marked difference of character how ever—almost amounting to a distinct nationality—in the Americans to the north and the Americans to the south of Baltimore, seems to indicate the possibi lity of a separation at some more remote and not easily definable period. But by that time other changes in the communities inhabiting North America may not improbably have occurred. There is much weight in the temperate and tar-seeing remarks of our Montreal correspondent in his letter, which we publish to-day, regarding the ultimate consequences of such a federal onion of our North American pro vinces as is at present in agitation. Should his antici pations ever be realised,lthe inhabitants of the Canadian provinces have more in common with the Americans of the northern states, than the latter with their fellow-citizens of the slave-holding states. Here then we have the approximate boundary of two possible North American states indicated, not by streams or mountains, but by the more natural and efficient dividing lines of national character. We might go further, and conjecturally trace the southern boundary of the slave-owning republic. In the more thickly-peopled Mexican states, in Ilsyti and in the British West Indies, we find a third population with a distinctive character as sharply defined from that which occupies the southern states of the American Union as it is from the New Englanders of the Union. This third population resembles that of the slave states in being a mix ture of various races, that of the non-slave-holding states by its indomitable hatred to the institution of personal slavery. These three populations indicate with tolerable precision the limits of the states, or groups of allied states, which are likely at some period more or less remote to occupy North America and its Wands. The time may not be so distant as it appears; accident may accelerate changes, which, in the coarse of nature, would approach at a mere tedious pen. But, near or distant, a regard to this future ought to regulate the policy of Great Britain in all its dealings with the great trans-Atlantic continent. Our object is, whatever political connexions may hereafter exist between us, to maintain friendly rela tions with the kindred race which is certain to be dominant there. Oar proud mission is, to assert the equality of all races in the eye of the law. This we can and ought to make the pole-star of our national policy, preserving always a due regard to the rights of independent nations to legislate for themselves free from foreign interference, even when their legislation happens to proceed upon false principles. the income tax, for ti`o of illustration; and we are bound to suppose th& Pli t r = the majority and the m i nor i ty o f th e Th ou ss ponsideeed that the ble perpetuity of the tax reskiered it • • to the case as it then stood. On any ether hypothesis, it is, as we have said, incredible, that the hardshis in flicted upon holders of terminable incomes have been so coolly proposed and so mildly repre hended. We refer to the language of the opposition, and to the acts of the minister ; for those who have watched dir ROBERT PEEL'S career WM have ob served, with indignation or amusement as it may have happened, that he never wastes a good answer on an ObLection which is not brought forward in wiped. When the thrust is a feint, his guard is always the established official flourish, which gives the genuine opponent no opportunity of conjecturing his mode of defence on a senous imams. The same excuse will not apply to the unjust bear ing of the tax upon incomes arising from industry, or to the readiness with which that part of the system was sanctioned by parliament. Only two, we believe, among the leading members of the house have denounced this part of the system with any considerable vigour or earnestness. One of them is at present out of par liament, thanks to the caprice of the electors of Bath ; and the other (Mr. C. BILLER) must for the present, on a question of this nature, be in a great measure tongue-tied by his official position. It is, therefore, of the greatest importance that the grievance should be publicly discussed before the next opportunity arises for redressing it. A measure which excites general public interest is not likely long to want par liamentary advocates. Hitherto the objections to the taxation of trading and professional incomes have been, for the most part, too vaguely and generally raised. To make them popular and effective, it is ne cessary to understand the exact grounds on which they rest. . . There is something of a Macy in vindicating the claims of talent and industry to exemption from taxation, because those qualities are admirable or laadable. If the income which they produced was as certain and perpetual as that arising from land or from the funds, no sentimental feeling would induce us to make a distinction between the different sources of revenue. -The tax-gatherer would demand from Sir WALTER SCOTT so much for the proceeds of his bad land, and so much for the profits of his good novels. On this hypothesis, the great author would be as certain of a perpetuity of production and popu larity, as that the Tweed would continue to flow by Abbotsford. He could mortgage er entail his genius, or settle it in shares on his children, and there would be no reason why he should not pay sevenpence in the pound out of it towards' the public revenue. Non olet—the tangible bank notes would not smell of their intellectual origin. A refined distinction might, no doubt, be drawn in favour of labour as a more meritorious soures wealth than proprietorship; but mccessful industry has a reward in the fact of success as well as in its pecuniary results; nor is it easy for a financier to enter on similar inquiries. All that the labourer, with hands or head, can fairly require, is to be taxed accordinr to the actual amount of his wealth. He has just cause to complain when he finds that his principal ie assessed at the same rate as the annual income of the proprietor. If a property tax was levied once for all, or if it was levied in the shape of an income tax for a short period, each as two or three years, the only fair method of dealing with trading and professional in comes would be to exempt them altogether from the I charge. The receipts would contribute to the revenue of capital, according to their amount, in the same manner as fixed capital arising from any other source. It would be unjust to tax them further as representing the ability of their owners to obtain in comes in future years, except on a scale so reduced as probably not to be worth the trouble of calculating. The case, howeber, becomes more complicated when the tax is permanently imposed. A part of the is- I come acquired by Industry is generally treated as income, while another part more properly be longs to the owner as principal. A surgeon, with a practice of 1,0001. a year is, of course, far less rich than the landholder with a rental of the same amount; but at the same time he is much richer than many persons whose capital is larger than his own. His power of acquiring an income is not equivalent to a certain perpetuity, but it is evidently much more than a nonentity. As far as the pecuniary value of his ability can be ascertained, it is a fit sub ject for taxation, and no farther. It is of course impossible to calculate such probabi lities in every separate case ; but almost any arbitrary mode of assessment which could be devised would be fairer than the present system, which must be unjust. Whatever may be the value of the surgeon's practice, it is quite certain that it can never be equal to the same income for ever—the rate at which it is now as sessed. The true guide to an approximate valuation would be an estimate of the expenditure—not of course of the individual, but of the average of persons of ordinary prudence in similar situations. To the amount of realised capital the annual income accruing from it is a sufficient index ; but of the profits arising from industry, that part only is income which the owner can reasonably spend as such. The less wealthy, it is true, in all occupations, small traders and young or comparatively unsuccessful practitioners in every profession, are often compelled to live up to their annual profits : but a forced expenditure of this kind is to be compared to an encroachment on capital. If a fundholder is compelled to sell out part of his princi pal, or a landowner to raise money on mortgage, he pays no tax on the additional receipt. As a general rale, the man who works for his livelihood is to be considered unsuccessful, if his receipts are only suffi cient for his ordinary expenses. The necessity of saving, if possible, makes him always an incumbrancer on his own income, and the amount of the incum bmnce ought, as in other cases, to be deducted from the taxable value of his means. The proportion of earnings which can be consider, d as income varies of course with the regularity and certainty of the occupation from which they arils. A partner in an old-established bank er London brewery may calculate on a livelihood for himself, and probably for his children. A popular writer, to recur to our former illustration, is probably at the other extreme of the scale. In one year he may earn thousands, in the next his talents may be exhausted, or his style out of fashion. A successful physician or lawyer occupies an intermediate position. In the most favour able case of a profession, the real income caa seldom exceed half the nominal amount. In trades, where the goodwill and connexion are comparatively inde pendent of personal qualities, the proportion may be somewhat higher. If an average was applied as this principle to all those who are charged with blOOlllO - on profits and earnings, a third of the actual re ceipts would be quite a sufficient basis for the calcu lation of income for taxation. That is to say, if a fundholder pays sevenpenoe in the pound on his income, the professional man ought not to pay more than a third of tke same rate. The trader ought of course to be charged in addition on the annual value of his capital. We have passed over many questions intentionally, and many more perhaps unconeciously, which would wise when the re-adjustment of the income-tax was to be practically carried out. Many opportunities will offer of recurring to the subject. lor the pre sent it is enough to call attention to the most obvious abuses connected with it, and to the principle which must be kept in view in rectifying them. The dis cussion of the matter must be conducted more se riously than has hitherto been the case, if any practical result is expected to follow it. WE yesterday called attention to the expediency of a re-adjustment of our direct taxation. Our main object, in the article referred to, was to point out the vexatious and impolitic character of the assessed taxes. In addition to this topic, however, we threw out a suggestion as to an arrangement by which the whole of our direct taxation, the property and in come tax as well BB the assessed taxes, might be massed under one collection. In returning to the consideration of this branch of the national revenue, our object is to enter more in detail into the question of the income tax, with a view to show, that whether it be or be not deemed ex pedient to transform it into a tax upon the rents and profits of realised . property alone, some extensive modification of it is imperatively called for. We wish to prove that if the income tax is to be per manent it requires re-adjustment; and we shall incidentally show that if it is assumed to be a tem porary impost, the injustice of the present principle of assessment is more flagrant in proportion as the duration of the tax is shorter. We assume, however, that this tax, in some shape or other, is destined to be permanent. The suc cess of the experiments which have been made in reducing indirect taxation, and the growing influence of the classes who are most interested in fixing the burdens of the state upon property, will powerfully second the natural inclination of all governments to avail themselves of so simple and abundant a resource. Before the House of Commons is again called upon to grant the income to for a new term of years, it is desirable that the principle on which it is assessed should be fully considered. It is practically too late to discuss a tax after the budget is prepared. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER must insist on the amount o revenue which ho has calculated to be necessary and with more or less criticism and discussion, par liament always grants what is asked for. :The stereo answer to all objections against unjust taxes — that the revenue cannot dispense with their proceeds — is felt to be conclusive when it is too late to provide an equivalent for any deduction, however reason able or expedient. There are few matters in which public opinion is so likely to influence the determina tions of a cabinet as in questions of taxation, if the public will take the trouble to form an opinion in time. Comparative popularity, or diminution of un popularity, must always form a weighty considera tion in deciding upon the mode of raising a revenue. Almost all administrations will be ready to assume that the silenhe of a country as to an existing tax amounts to a consent to its continuance ; and they will not allow the implied consent to be retracted at the last moment, when parliament is called upon to grant the revenue demanded. If, when the budget of 1842 was brought forward, it had been seriously expected that the tax should be continued only for three years, it is difficult to sup pose that the monstrous iniquity of treating termi nable incomes as equivalent to perpetuities could have been so feebly and faintly represented by the opposi tion as to enable the minister to pass it over with • few of the conventional phrases which are ordinarily used to conceal from the world the issue of a sham fight in parliament. If the state required an extra ordinary contribution from all owners of property, it was impossible to defend the system of levying from an annuity worth two years' pur chase the same sum which was charged on a rental of equal amount worth thirty years' purchase, and therefore of ten times the value. If, on the other hand, the income tax was intended to furnish a perpetual revenue, the injustice was at an end. The annuity for two years would bear the pro portionally larger deduction for two years : the rental would be subject to the smaller per centage for ever. The relative value of fixed incomes for longer or shorter periods, or for ever, could in no way be altered by a perpetual annual deduction from all in comes. The purchase-money of an annuity would be reduced in value in exactly the same proportion as the annuity granted. This consideration was more than once suggested in the course of the debates on AMONG the labours of the metropolitan sanitary commission, the next in importance to the reform of the sewerage will be the banishment of all grave- yards and burial places, by whatever name and de signation known, from the purely urban districts of London. The story of the Spaflelds receptacle of decomposi tion still taints the public memory with its ghoul-like revelations; the bones with gobbets of undecomposed flesh on them, shot like rubbish near the Regent's Canal, are not forgotten ; the falling in of the side walls, composed of almost unmixed putrid remains of mortality, in St. Bride's churchyard, haunts the re collection like a night-mare; while %be revolting in cidents in the vaults of Elim eligpel stalk past ns, leaving the impression that the spectral train will lengthen till the " crack of doom." The Elim chapel details published in our yester day's paper, as the most recent, suggest some of the readiest illustrations of the consequences of intra mural burial. It appears that in tue vaults of that chapel there have been "at one time, heaped together in one corner, at least three waggon-loads of the ends. foes, and bottoms of coffins." " Ile grave digger chopped up the coffins in the open paeldge 4 and gave the wood to the neighbours to burn 1,1. The wood was "saturated with human material sad the people who burnt it stated " that the smell greatly injured their health." Mr. FOWLER stated "that on Sundays he had seen as many as nine persons removed from the chapel in fainting fits, induced by the pestilential exhalations from the vaults." Now, let the reader bethink him how many chapels and churches there are in the metropolis with burial vaults beneath them. Let him recall to his memory the many churchyards which lie immured among surrounding houses, giving evidence by the rankness of their unwholesome vegetation to the rich fer tilising powers of the rottenness which is fester ing below. Let him take, in fancy, his stand in Farringdon-street, where the graveyard of St. Paul's nods in neighbourly loathsomeness across Fleet ditch to the receptacles of St. Bride's and St. Andrew's, Holborn, each within its boundary wall threateningly impending over the head of the passenger, and distilling its corruption into the neighbouring wells. Psssingwestward,he comes to the graveyards of St. Dunstan's and St. Clement-le-Dane. Ascending northward, he passes between the Spa-fields graveyard on the right, and the graveyards of the two St. Georges and St. Andrew's—trio juncta in uno almost—on the left, reaching ultimately the grave yard of St. Pancras and the adjoining catacombs. If he continue his charnel pilgrimage through the rest of the metropolis, he will in every vicinity find these pestilential depositaries as thickly, if not more thickly, strewed through it. This review is calculated to impress the mind strongly with a sense of the exquisite silliness of a remark made by Mr. CHARLES PIARsoe, at the in spection of Elim Chapel vaults :—" The scene they had witnessed proved that burials should only be per mitted in consecrated ground." Why, some of the very worst instances we have of the revolting and unhealthy character of intramural burial are in " con secrated grounds." Does Mr. PEARSON imagine that consecration is a disinfecting agent? Consecrated, or unconsecrated, the health of the inhabitants requires that no burial-grounds or vaults shall any longer be tolerated in the metropolis. The preservation of the salutary sentiment of respect for the remains of the dead requires that they shall no longer be endured. The limited accommodation of our metropolitan burial places, and the constant influx of dead bodies, renders periodical removals of the earlier occupants of the graves indispensable as long as these cemeteries continue in general use. If the practice of burying is to continue in these old I depositories, the dead cannot be " allowed to rest." Entombment is a mockery —an affectation of respect for the remains which a year hence will be allowed to be carted away to some undis tinguished pit, if not more indecently got rid of. The scenes witnessed in the metropolitan burial grounds are calculated to demoralise and harden the more ig norant classes of spectators. Morally, as welt as phy eically , they are among the worst nuisances of t he metropolis. The remedy is obvious. Cemeteries under the im pulse of private speculation have already been formed in many parts of the environs of London. Cannot each parish, or union of neighbouring parishes, pro cure a piece of ground fairly out of the town, to be a substitute for their present grave-yards? The burial places within the fully built up part of the metropolis ought to be regarded as closed for ever, but, in reve rence to those who have been laid there, to be held for ever sacred from common uses. After the" great fire" a considerable number of the London churches wore not rebuilt. Their little churchyards are now rarely, if ever, used as places of sepulture, but, with their green turf and few trees, they form breathing places in the most crowded central regions of the city ; and the associations that cluster round them are, to those who know the story of each, among the best moral lessons of London's daily life. As the old Romans enclosed and regarded as sacred any spot where the thunderbolt had fallen, so would we treat and regard every spot where human beings have been laid to take their long rest. We would not drive streets and thoroughfares through them, even to obviate consi derable inconvenience : we would not hear of their being sold to erect upon them places of deposit for the precious metals of a bank. The me tropolis in its growth has crept round and hemmed in successive ranges of extra-mural burial grounds. These, if preserved among our crowded streets, undeseerated by the rode mercenary trade in temporary graves now carried on in them, would be among the most touching monuments of the past history of the mighty city we inhabit 'We learn from our advertising columns that • meeting on the subject of the grave-yards of the metropolis is to be held this evening at the Crown and Anchor. The subject cannot 1 1 escape the investigation of the commission on the sanitary state of the metropolis, or be omitted from any legislative measure bared upon their report. Our fellow-citizens who take an interest in this important local reform have now such an opportunity as was never before afforded them of striking one comprehensive final blow at the nuisance of intra-mural burial. Meetings to promote the abolition of the practice have from time to time been held in various parts of the metropolis. The meeting of this evening might appoint a committee to put itself in communication with the local advocates of the cessation of city burials in all the districts of the metropolis. There might thus be, in a very short time, a comprehensive organisation brought into existence, to urge upon the sanitary commissioners a root and branch measure to remedy such evils as we have detailed above, and to support any satisfactory measure of the kind that may be introduced in par liament at their suggestion. It is thus that London common sense and right feeling is to be brought to co-operate in the great task of rendering all London clean and healthy. Some men —like our Ingenious correspondent Mr. MOREwOOD, or Mr. MARTIN, whose letter received this day re minds us that he was among the first, if not the first, of our sanitary reformers—have studied thoroughly the question of sewerage. Others, like Mr. WALKER, have studied thoroughly the subject of intra-mural burial. Others, again, have made one or other of all the subjects that demand the attention of the commis sioners his especial study. Let each of these exert himself to awaken the interest and co-operation of his friends and neighbours, and, through them, of the general public, with a view to effect the reform to which he has devoted most attention. Thus will the commissioners find plenty to push them on, and to sup port them ; and they will need all the assistance of both kinds that can be given them. Ir all the possible benefit of county courts is to be secured, and all their possible mischief obviated, a sharp eye must be kept on the practice of their officers. It is rather hard to ask an old-fashioned lawyer to administer cheap law. In his eyes, at least, it must look like calling on an orthodox M.D. to prescribe Morison's pills, or a pore-practising M.R.C.S. to apply Holloway's ointment We can not expect that the old hand should take kindly to the new tool, or that the official accustomed to luxu riate in the rich, easy-flowing, well-wadded robe of Westminster practice, should be otherwise than uncomfortable in the modest, curt, close-trimmed jacket of the county-court costume. But, although we may understand the longing, lingering looks which functionaries accustomed to other ways and other times cast back to the tutwe cannot let them forget that they ' new and present duties to perform. They have a cheap legal machine to work, and must work it cheaply. There must be no natural indul gence afforded by them to legal chicane and technical subtlety. We must have as few as possible of such cases as that recorded in our paper of yesterday, from the Whitechapel County Court. Inthat case the solicitor for the defendant, when the case came on last Thurs day week, stated that his client was not liable, as his wife (with whom he was not living) was responsible for the debt The hearing was adjoyned for proof of this. On Monday, when thews was called, the solicitor admitted the debt at once, and offered to pay it on the spot Here was a delay allowed which should have been refused. The solicitor who had such a defence as that alleged ought to have come prepared to sup port it by evidence, or to take the consequences of not being so prepared. The result showed that no such defence could really be substantiated. The alle gation of it was a mere ruse to obtain an adjourn ment There is a new fee on every hearing. The officers, paid by fees. have thus a direct interest in adjourning eases. The object of tike act, however, is not to fill the officers' pockets, but to assist the debtor cheaply and promptly to his due. Thus the primipla I of the act, and the practice which the payment o f officials by fees is calculated to enconrage, are in direct antagoniem. We must repeat what we have already said more Lan once, that the full benefit of these courts will not be reaped until the officers are paid by salaries instead of fees. We trust that such • change will be th e first act of the legislature in regard to them. Whether it be er not, it ought to be. There will be strong interest made against any change. Unless the public insist, it is very porible the Chancellor ' may allow the practice to remain as it is. The old feeling of wolf and lamb has not yet quite disappeared from the relation of lawyer and client. Since our last noticing the subject of county courts, we have received a solution of the enormous bile of costs, of which so many of our correspondents patbe. tically ask explanation. We find that the important item is one Which does not figure in the schedule, appended to the sot, nor in the 37th section, which treats of the court fees. This item, charged " for the fee fund," amounts, in cues where more than 40s. is sued for, to one-twentieth of the debts claimed, and in cases above one pound and lees than two, to sixpence. This fund .is intended (sect. 52) to pay the rent, or defray the costs of building of the court-house and offices. No provision is made for the cessation of this heavy charge, after the purposes it is intended for are satis fied. As there can be no doubt that the fees received by the officers very much exceed what their salaries would be, if fixed according to the act, at a maximum of 1,2007. for judges and 600/. for clerks, it would appear most desirable that this fee-fund should cease to be raised when once courts are provided. The country should not seek to make revenue out of its law courts. All that it can fairly ask the suitor to pay is the actual expense of the machinery which works for him. When once the cost of this is defrayed, ' not a farthing more should be exacted. Complaint has been excited by an assurance of Mr. Amos ' in the Marylebone Court, that all parties committed for disobedience to the orders of the court, would be sent to the House of Correction, where they would have only the gaol allowance and be compelled to wear the prison dress. Undoubtedly the 09th section of the act sears out Mr. AMOS in this threat. Defaulters so committed are prisoners and not debtors. They suffer for contempt of the court, not for cheating their creditors. The act directs that they be com mitted " to the common gaol or House of Correction." These unqualified terms certainly carry all the usual consequences of such a committal, even to skilly, silence, and " a Newgate-crop." It may seem harsh, but so it ie. One remark, however, we must offer on the fact. If this measure of justice be fair to debtors of 20!. or less, why should it not be meted out to the gentlemanly or lordly insolvent of thousands? If the tender gosling is to be served up with such very sharp sauce, why not the fleshy and well-feathered goose ? We have no objection to offer against severity to recusant debtors, but we do trust, for the sake of justice, that it is not to be confined to " email" ones. Our Paris letters of Monday say that much embar rassment is reported to have been produced in the Chateau and the Hotel of Foreign Affairs by the events which the last week has unfolded. Spain, Italy, and Africa, are simultaneously the sources of grave uneasiness in high quarters. The Queen Isabella will not be ruled by the missives from St. Cloud and the Rue des Courcelles, eent through the Duke de Glucksberg and General Narvaez. the lectures de livered to the Italians in the columns of the Lad:, ow the beauties of passive obedience and non-resist ance, pass unheeded by that people; and the Lucchese, to the undiseembled mortification of Louis Philippe and M. Guizot, insist on a free press, a national guard, and a political amnesty. The more M. Guizot warns the Pupe against liberal measures, the more his holiness won't listen, and will go fora ard, when M. Rossi is commanded to make him go backward. Abdel-Kader, meanwhile, starts again to life, and is making a military promenade, followed by ten thousand fighting men, from Taza to Fez, apparently with as little resistance as Napoleon encountered in coming from Frejus to Paris. These things lie heavy at the heart of the King of the French. The cabinet sit almost in permanence at the Chateau of St. Cloud, the Dukes of Montpensier and Aumale being admitted according as the scene is shifted from Madrid to Algiers, or rice terse«. The "hike de Broglie (who left for London on Sundae) was admitted to a seat at the council board when the Spanish question was under discussion. It was said on Monday that a resolution had been taken to send military aid to the Emperor Abdev. rishman, against the reported aggression of Abut. Kader. The question of electoral reform has been taken up by the councils general. That of the department of the north, the richest and most enlightened in France, voted in favour of a petition to the chambers for such a reform as would at once assure the independence of the constituency and the representatives. This was carried by 21 votes against 9. A reform banquet has taken place at Thu-le-Dec which was attended by five hundred persons. under the presidency of M. Paulin Gillen, member of the council-general, and mayor of the town. Le Commerce says that M. Guizot has received despatches from the Duke de Glucksberg, informing him that the new Spanish cabinet intends to convoke the electoral colleges for the 25th inst. to elect a con stituent Cortes, which would assemble at Madrid on the 15th October to discuss the question of succes don. This is only the reproduction of a report which ws have already mentioned, and which is probably produced by the actual circumstances of the case in ](a rid at present The reported accident to the Doke de Nemotue which we mentioned yesterday has not been the sub- jest of any authorised notice in the journals, although a good deal of public attention was attracted to it on Saturday and Sunday, and the columns of the Mem tear Parisien were anxiously examined.
