Lan saes we cannot call them—upon which the Commis winners rest their preference for the greater number, It is easy, indeed, to conceive that, having already determined that any reduction in the existing num. ber of Judges would be inexpedient, they might adopt with eagerness any surface objection that was offered against a change which would militate against this foregone conclusion. Bat this, though it satisfied the Commissioners, ought to satisfy nobody else. Lord CsureEtt might have recol lected that daring the period which be has recently described as the bean ideal of the administration of British just ice—the period duringvr hick Lord TENTER.. nett presided in the Court of King's Bench—the occa sions were numerous in which the full court was composed of three members only. People who look at the matter on the general principles of good sense will consider it a clear advantage in favour of three I I Judges instead of four, that in case of • difference of opinion, the former number precludes the incon venience of an equally divided tribunal ; while to those who like facts we commend the following extract from the evidence of Mr. C. T. PALMER, a solicitor in extensive London practice, and one of the most intelligent witnesses examined barite the Commission. When asked whether he concurs in the opinion, that the decisions of four Judges in Banco are more satisfactory than three, this gentleman replies: " I can only say my opinion is that three wadi be quite sufficient, and I refer to "the Churl of Appeal is Chancery, where at " and liars Cr. wets? more than three Judges, "and adds.. more Man two.' Can anything h• ebbed to this? Here are three judges forma oily miSeiert for the highest Court of Appeal in Chaserry, and yet we arc to be told that four an abseintely necessary for cacti of the three co-ordinate Courts of Common Law. The thing is simplyabsurd. Another great waste of judicial power is that which takes place at Judges' Chambers. To this part of the ease the Commissioners make no reference in their Raprt, but it is really one of the highest importance as marets the inquiry, whether the pre...at arrange meat .f judicial business in the metropolis is or is not anissaptible of improvement. To employ a learned cold able person, who costs the country 3,0001. &year, sad by his exertions in higher fields of usefulness fully earns what he costs, in such work as the retains business of Judges' Chambers, is a misappropriation of time and power of the grossest description. No doubt quest ions on matters of practice of considerable difficulty and nicety are occasionally brought On at Chambers—questions % which under the former system would have been discussed in the full Court, and would, under any system, require the trained power of • judicial mind for their satisfac tory relation. But the number of such questions is exceedingly small. The average of the business transacted in Judges' Chambers is of such a nature that if any shrewd attorney's clerk could be sud denly taken out of the eager and somewhat clamor ous crowd who throng round the Judge's table, and armed with judicial authority, the probability is that he would di-pose of the business with quite as much dexterity and more dispatch than the eminent juridical mind whose elephantire powers are utterly thrown away on a trivial and ignoble industry, for which their very scope and magnitude render them singularly unfitted. But it is not necessary to have recourse to the attorney's clerk experiment. Each of the three Courts of Common Low possesses live skilled functionaries at 1,2001. • year each, called Masten, whose whole training and daily business has been and is, to carry on the practical mechanism of the law. Why not save • waste of judicial power by utilising the lei eves of these competent and not overworked tune demerits ? To see five Judges sitting in Banco to discus a point of pleading, and five Masters •misting them on the bencilfibencath by an assiduous perusal of the daily journals, is an affecting picture of ener gies misemployed ; to see a most learned Jurist pre siding at Judges' Clambers, amid a yelping pack of attorney's clerks, painfully disposing of mere matters of cane, which an inferior order of ability would get through with far greater despatch—is another, and even less agreeable, picture of the same kind. Why not release the Judge and set the Master at week? Again we take the liberty of referring to the evidence of Mr. PALK en—'l think," he says, as to this point, "that the business of Chambers re " quires alteration in many respects—a great deal of *the business which now comes before the Judge 0 at Chambers might go before somebody else—say " one of the Mute's ; because we know very well " that there are a great . many trumpery applies " tions--summonsca for time to plead, sum " menses for particulars, and • variety of other " summonses, which take •p a vast deal of the " Judge's time, and upon which anybody could de " aide. I clearly recollect its being tried once. It " was in the old Serjeants'•inn-hall. Mr. WALKER " (one of the Masten) attended with the Vacs " tionsl Judge. I believe that gave very great " satisfaction." No doubt it did ; but what we want to know is this—what satisfaction can a Report give which passes by absolutely without notice a point of such vital importance to the main subject of inquiry as this? Can it be considered that the Commissioner, have done their duty in inquiring whether any alterations in the arrangements ofjudi cial business are feasible, when they entirely pass Over an alteration so momentous, so practicable, and en loudly called for as that of transferring to the Musters that routine business which is new so un wisely thrown on the Judges?

Tee Report on the arragements of Jabal Badness in Town and ea the (Inuits is a document of considerable lead and pragmatist' interest. That some rearragemmat of the WM nem of the Superior Courts of Cams= Law is desirable, and indeed scents say. Ms keg boa metre' generally admitted by all who see prim tice!y acquainted with the salieet. The old machinery is no longer applicable is the wants of a new time; and recent clamors in the law Dave rendered its unfitness more apparent than ern. The County ('Darts, especially in the prorinees, are mare and more encroaching on the slid jurisdicties of the Superior Courts; and in the Superior COSTiII themselves the nature and distribution of the basilicas has been considerably altered by the operation of the Common Law Procedure Acts. The material arrangements of Society have of late years undergone a men complete revolution than has ever been wrought is any similar period of the world's history. New craters of business and population have sprang ap with marvellous rapidity; the 'dative importance of different provincial dis tricts has been completelyeltanged; and the facilities of intentenne between the remotest localities have tended more and more to erotralise business in the great mats of commerce and manufacture. In a day when railways are naivetes' and Manchester sad Birmingham but types of a class, it certainly seems absurd that the visits alma, altar lameasheald be sa few and far bonnet es in the days of pilgri mages, packhorses, or postehaiaes, or be confined to the same ancient boroughs which were places of im palace under the sway of the PLANTAGENETS. Such were moose the comidentions that moved °oversewn t M appoint the Commission whose Report we now meant to our readers. Of the eight Coco missiosers by whom that Report is signed, se less than four—Lord CA M 4 Lard WEVSLETDALZ, Mr. Justice Cuesaw ELL, and Mr. Baron MARTIN— are eminent members of the Common Law Bench. The subjects of inquiry proposed to the Commis sioners were in substance these :—I. Whether the arrangements for transacting judicial business in London admitted of improvement? 2. Whether any alteration could be indent the frequency with which the Assizes were held, in the places visited by the Judges, or in the territorial distribution of the Cir cuits' 3. Whether any diminution in the existing number of Judges could safely be recommended' In a Cornmirsion, one half of whale members were composed of Common Law Judges, and whose chair man was Lord Cenral it, it is not surprising that the order of invite' y proposed by the Crown should have been ravened, and an immediate endeavour made to remove all doubt as to the disagreeable pos sibility suggested by the last head of investigation— • diminution in the existing number of the Judges. This accordingly was the method of proceeding una nimously adopted. It had the slight disadvantage of necessarily involvingtbat fallacy which is commonly known to logicians as arguing in a circle. The whole reasoning of the Report on this part of the case may be reduced ta thisr—The existing ar rangements for Judicial business are each that the existing number of Judges is hardly adequate for the work, tderefore we cansot recommend that the existing number of Judges be diminished. Now, this is simply putting the cart before the horse. The order of inquiry prescribed 'v the Crown was the natural order, and the first point to which it di rected the attention of three learned persons was this —whether the arrangements for judicial business are not so susceptible of improvement that a smaller staff of Judges may, with great convenience to the public, and no extra labour to themselves, get through • greater amount of work. On this most important part of the case, the Commissioners astutely enough have forborne to make any searching inquiry. Mr. Baron Baemweee, a coneummate master in the art of stating a hard cam with careful me atiness and elaborate candour, was pat for ward to depict the incessant toils of the Judges under that dignified sentence of hard labour, to which a high sense of public duty leads them to submit. According to the leaned Baron— not that he complained of the thing at all, bat sim ply as a dry matter of fact—the life of • Common Law Judge, under the existing arrangements, was one, except daring the long vacation, of assiduous toil. Courts. Chambers, the Sittings, and the Amine were the mere outward emblems of those more 111K1.21riC labours, whose severity may be judged of by the fart that • diligent perusal of all the published Reports is spoken of by Mr. Barra /lama% tree as amongst the lighter recrea tions of the judicial kieure. Not, again, that the indefatigable and candid Baron murmurs at this part of his destiny ; frankly he has a taste that way ; on the whole, Report-reading rather amines ...Emmeline are much divided upon the question his; " A'are end Blarkinerts," the w Cowiwon whether a volcano, whose eruptive powers have lteneA" sod the " EseAegrer," the Lase a/, and once been thoroughly developed, has ever been the Jecire. supply to the learned and logical mind known to die out.

The moral soil was fairly turned up ael sterilised in conse quence, and the best well-wisher of the country looked upon its fate with feelings akin to despair. Of late the ruinous eruptions of sectarian rage seem to have become lees frequent ; and wherever the de vastating flood has bad time to cool, Be traces have been rapidly overgrown by the genial verdure that perpetually springs up everywhere in that laughing ' though luckless land. People bad, indeed, come at length to believe that the epoch of religious rasa had passed away, and that we should hear no more of deadly strife caused by the eruption of sacerdotal enmities and coo tarian hate. But in the midst of this fancied security we are awakened oat of sleep by the old sharp my of alarm. Confusion and terror take the place of Innocent recreation and social intercourse. The profitable pursuits of industry are interrupted and the repose of the Sabbath is violently broken. Men rush from their dwellings and find their neigh bours hurrying to and fro in a state of agitation bordering upon frenzy. The feeble efforts of autho rity to preserve order are set at nought. Constables and magistrates are spurned and hustled, and even wounded in the general male. No voice of control or command is recognised above the din. The scan goes down os scenes of tumult and suffering ; and terror-stricken thousands fear to lie down to rest daring the long and anxious night. We do not exaggerate the condition of the population of the most prosperous and opu lent city in Ireland, as it is described , to us during tho last few days. Sectarian anima sity, which had long slumbered, comparatively speaking, in Belfast and its neighbourhood, has, it would appear, been rapidly revivified of late by the intemperance and bigotry of a few men belonging to the opposed communions. The numerical increase of the Roman Catholic population in the town has afforded a pretext to a handful of reckless men amongst the established clergy and the Presbyterian ministry, for exciting their respective flocks to sue *ion, jealousy, and finally to open antagonism. Squabbles about the management of national schools have been fostered and stimulated, until they have been made to include within their ever-deepening and ever-widening influence all kinds of public charities and local institutions for whatever purpose originally founded. The once peace able and congenial inhabitants of the Irish Manchester have gradually been separated into two camps of °been ation, and gradually pre pared to expect from one another deadly surprise and attack. When rendered thus mutually suspi cious and hostile, men are ready to take offence at thing■ which under different circumstances they would treat with levity or indifference ; and the scattering of theological squibs, which in an ordinary state of society canoes neither sensation nor danger of any kind, in the midst of an excited community, such ea we have described, is a matter of the utmost peril.

DEATH OF ADMIRAL HAWTAYNE:. We have received the fallowing message by elec tric telegraph, burn Norwich :—Admiral klawtayno fell off the South Pier, Lowestoft, leek evening, and sustained a coneuseion of Ilw tolls which peeved fatal. On Sunday last, the delivery, in the open air, of a sermon by one of the Presbyterians of the town, became the occasion of the most disgraceful scenes of riot and disturbance. Open-air preaching, as everybody knows, is a privilege which the zealous of all denominations possess by law in these countries. Like all other privileges, it is one to be used with temper and discretion. It may be, and sometimes is no doubt, sadly and scandalously aboard. We are not aware of any constitutional right, however valuable and venerable, that is not liable to desecration by the unworthy, or to pre posterous perversion by fanatics and fools. The reverend gentleman whose pre-eminent egotism seems to have led him to persist in delivering • polemical discourse in the streets of Belfast on Sunday bait, regardless of the admonition and ad vice of his own clerical brethren assembled in pres bytery • few days before, has met on all hands with the condemnation it deserved ; and we must add that the despicable imbecility of the local authori ties, and the no less culpable neglect on the part of the Irish Executive to take measures fur the maintenance of the public peace, regardless of ample warnings that it was in imminent danger, merit the most serious reprobation. We should exceedingly like to know what a Viceroy is paid 20,0001. a-year for, what a consta bulary 12,000 strong is maintained for, and what • garrison of hone, foot, and artillery are kept up he in Ireland, all at the cost of the imperial ex chequer, if with due notice they cannot keep the I streets of a town like Belfast clear of • murderous rabble during the length of a summer's day. It is simply absurd to fire round after round of political blank cartridge at an obscure firebrand who hap pens to have abused the right of spouting damnation from a temporary rostrum against all who believe in the VIRGIN MARY. And we must be permitted to say that it is much worse than absurd to affect serious doubts as to the existence of the right so un fortunately abused ; or to encourage the worshippers of the MADONNA in the lawless and lamentable notion that they are justified in resorting to physical violence to interrupt polemical harangues of whose spirit they disapprove. We have seen with the deepest regret the language held on this subject by some of our con temporaries. Worse friends to the Catholic portion of the community there cannot be than those who pretend to sympathise in their provocations to the extent we have named. Men are not fit to be en trusted with the rights of citizenship who cannot walk the streets of the towns where they reside without being provoked into tumult and outrage by the theological ravings agorae ill-advised neidhbour which no man can compel them to listen to if they do not please. Habits of mutual forbearance will never be taught to a community by the practice of a system such as we have adverted to. The scenes that have occurred in Belfast are most deplorable and most degrading to the public authorities. But we hold unshaken the doctrine that in this free country there is nothing else for it but to allow men of all persuasions to have their say out, and that no possible good can come of attempting to interpolate into our free system any Austrian principles preven tive of free discussion.

THE INTERVIEW AT STUTMARD. Itedeperadated Beige has the following r e . on this subject: Whilst eerie"a organs of the Austrian press, upon th Inn intelligence of the interview between the Emperor Napoleon 111. and Alexander 11., have raised up before Germany the spectre of the souvenirs of Tilsit, the English press hss observed a silence full of reserve on this event. This attitude, at once so unexpected and praiseworthy, h as been interpreted as an able piece of tactics. The British jownala, it has been said, are silent, Mu m they do not wish to proclaim openly the unieeinees with which the approximation of France and Rune bee M. spired them. This view of the case is not well founded. From two different sources we learn that not only has Eng. land no cause to be alarmed at the assurances of cordiality and friendship which will be exchanged at Stuttgart', ha that England will indirectly take part in them, and that her interests will be represented at the interview by her ally i m effectually is if she was directly represented them. We have advance' beyond the period when Rammed to follow, that he• cause an adroit, cordials subsisted between two Powers the of any one of them to a third power was testes. eerily enclodad. Besides, It may he added that England so occupied with the Indian outbreak as to make her desire to put an end to the coolness which, since the establishment of peace, hem existed between her and Ruins; whilst, on the other head, the Cur Alexander is sincerely attaehri to that policy which can alone realise his wishes for the development of the great but neglected resources of hie empire. Finally, th e Emperor Napoleon is admirably situated between these tea tendencies for serving as a point of onion, and for obliterat ing the last marks of old dimensions. The part of Freesia, whose Court is err closely united to that of Russia, is ma y , marked out In bringing about these good relations, which L thencefor h can give umbrage only to Austria, which con. Wines to remain outside th' general conceet. The correspondent of the Allgemeine Zeitum writing on the same subject from Vienna, says: Intelligence has been received at the French embassy be e on the Ist of September, of such a nature that Baron Bone. Timmy already publicly points to the widely-reported iota. view of the Emperor Alexander with Louis Napoleon as a further proof that Russia means sincerely to adhere in her internal and external policy to the principles of the Paris Conference, that is to say, a foreign policy buedlon friendly f 1). tenons and a home policy of reform sod program. It is there fore more than probable that Louis Napoleon will avail him self of the present opportunity to open the way to more friendly relations between Ruasia and England and Austria also.

The Constitutionnel and the Pattie state that the Emperor a few days ago paid a visit incognito to Paris, and inspected some of the public works in progress. The Emperor paid a visit on Tuesday to the camp of Attila, at a short distance from the camp of Chalons, and where several tumuli still remain. His Majesty has ordered excavations to be made there. The Pays says that • private letter from the Persian frontier mentions that Colonel Taylor, the British commissioner for carrying into execution the treaty of peace, had left Teheran on the 21st of July for Herat, accompanied by one of the high officers of the court of Persia. _ . Marshal Canrobert left Paria to-day for the camp at Chilons. It is positively asserted that the directors of the Cridit Mobilier Society intend to bring an action against the Times for an article published by that journal with reference to the society. It is said that Winterhalter has been commissioned to paint the interview at Stuttgard. The Bund of Berne states that the Federal Coun cil has received a reply from the government of the canton of Vaud touching the affair of the Oran rail way. In this reply it is contended that the govern ment of Vaud was authorised by Art 8 of the con ditions annexed to the contract to forbid the works, and requests the federal government to withdraw the annulment of that prohibition. As to the delay which has been allowed it to examine the affair, Vaud declares it to be quite insufficient. M. Foold has returned to Paris, and had the sa tisfaction of finding his son much better. The Moniteur publishes the following letter from the camp at Chilons The first grand manoitirme took place on Monday lest, and are to be continued every other day. The Guard exe cuted with remarkable precision and combination the dif fenmt military movements commanded by the Emperor. Nothing could be more beautiful than the eight of thi► im mense plain, which is about to become the school of the whole army. The camp is now entirely completed, and presents an admirable appearance. AU the services are carried on with perfect order. The sanitary atainia excellent. The Emperor, as usual, displays great activity, rides en horsebackeveryday, is present at all the partial exercises, visits the locelitissof the neighbourhood, so rich in Hem eel remembrances, and leaves in all the villages he poems through some gemerom tokens of hie munificence. A crowd of peewits, that have come from 10 to 13 leagues of, station themselves for who*. days before the Imperial quarters; alt desire to see the Em peror, and leave contentedly after performing this kind of pilgrimage. The Cardinal Arebblahop of Rheims came on • visit to his Majesty last Saturday, and remained all the morning at the Emperm's camp. In • few days his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge is to arrive. The marshals are invited to come and spend a few days with hie Majesty. It appears that the strength of the troops now as sembled at the camp of Chklons amounts to 21,250 men and 5,860 horses, divided as follows : Infantry light regiments,l4,ooo men ; cavalry, six regiments, 4,600 ; six batteries of horse and six of foot artil lery, 2,000 ; two companies of engineers, 200 $ and one squadron of the waggon train, 560. If to the above be added the detachments of gendarmerie, pompiers, administrative services, &c., the total Inumber assembled will amount to about 23,000 men and 6,000 horses.

We reed in the Debuts :—" France and England differ not inertly in their mode of waging war, each has her distinct meaner of relating it. With us, the official reports are in general fall of Interest, and vividly represent the military acts which form the subject of reports to the higher authority. Oa the other hand, the lettere addressed to our journals by their correaponiksts are singularly defective, and as for private letters, the small number of three that Sr. published does not often lead Rs to regret our ignorance of the remainder. In • word, at war. as on all other occasions, w• see tolerably fond of entrusting one to be the spokeetnan for all. On the contrary, the report. of the English generale are incomparably arid. Those officers are usually satisfied with narrating in them, that too with imperturbeble rang froid, the movements of tits several Corps adorned with their respective numbers, and they briefly state in them the result of their action. The most terrible engagements are I described in them as if they were reviews, end it is possible that we depict our reviews even with more animation and eloquence. But it is not in such quarters that the English look for the history of their wars. They seek after and end It in the fns and animated descriptions by correepondamts In their journal., and In the !MOOTS katers which the offices of the army, moat of whom are men of very good breeding, write to their families. It is by this means that we learn the truth, and ere it in the brightest colours. Each person Mateo his adventurer, and comments upon them with the energy end freedom habitual to our neighbours.
