Accounts from Lisbon to the 21st ult. state that the ministerial crisis still continued, Senor Rodrigo Msgalhaens having abandoned the formation of a go vernment in despair. Sir C. Napier's squadron was looked for with anxiety. The Dragon steamer had left it off Oporto, is order to secure pilots to carry the ships into the Tagus. The finaccial difficulties of the government were as ggrreeaat as ever. The employes were unpaid, and diaaffeetion was becoming general. No one would pay taxes. The custom-houses and tobacco contract alone yield any revenue, and these 50 Per cent. leas than the accustomed amount. We have received files of theCourrierdAtisines, with news from Greece to 20th ult. The disturbances at Malaga were scarcely a pe&sed when intelligenta reached the espial of a isle issurreeticai in another quarter of the kingdom, headed by General Grizziotti, a popular leader, who had made his escape from the prison at Chalcis, and at the bead of a large body of insurgents had taken posseesion of the island of Euboea. Grizziotti, who was confined on a charge trumped up against him by M. Coletti, because he had offered himself a candidate during the late election for Chalcis, appears to have endured imprisonment with patience, till he found that his case was to be tried by a court-martial, when he resolved to effect his escape. This he succeeded indoing on the nightof the 12th or 13th alt. with the connivance of the functionary who had charge of the guard. Scarcely had be regained his liberty than, acc o m panied . by many of his friends, he proceeded to Va 'like, situated about two leagues south-east of Chalcis, where he established him self. and commenced the formation of entrench ments; in the meantime, the number of his adherents increasing by arrivals of armed pea sants from a 1 quarters. On the receipt of the news of Grizziours escape at Athens, M. Coletti was absent, having proceeded to Nauplie to attend the obsequies of his mother. The ministry immediately despatched& courier to hasten his return, and at the same time took measures suitable to the emergency. They dis patched to Chalcis, by a steamer of the Austrian Lloyd's, two field-pieces, fourteen artillerymen, and other t roops. amounting in all to about 270 men, under the order of Colonel Vim. To this force was added a company of infantry of the line and some 5.5 light troops, under Col. Yanni-Costs, which were forwarded to Chalcis by the French steamer Rebut At the head tithe government forces was placed General Gardikioti Gribas, who, on reaching Chalcis, summoned General Grizziotti to dismiss his followers and re-enter his prison. This summons produced no effect; on the contrary, the royal messengers were treated with in dignity, and shots were exchanged. The following day General Gardikioti had an interview with Griz ziotti, at which he endeavoured in vain to persuade the latter to abandon his enterprise. The Siecle says that Grizziotti replied that it was not he who opposed the ministry, but the people; and he then demanded the restoration of the charter and the laws which the ministry had trampled under foot, and the maintenance of the religion for which the people had bled ; and, having expressed his loyalty to the king, he proposed on behalf of the people—first, that the king should dissolve the chamber, as being illegally elected; secondly, that he should dismiss the ministry ; and thirdly, that he should publish an am • Having heard these terms and declared thous inadmissible, General Gardikioti retired to Chalcis, from where his demands for reinforcement were incessant. Some eighty volunteers had been forwarded to Chaleis, but the efforts of the government to recruit the old soldier were unsuc cessful, notwithstanding the high rate of pay that was offered. They refuse, stating that they could not act against Grizziotti, under whose orders they fought during the war of independence. When the lest accounts left, Grizziotti still held out, and the state of the provinces was as bad as that of Buboes, which had been declared by the government in a state of lege. Colonel Climaca, deputy of Thebes, who had been sent in all haste to his province, and had pro mised the King to raise a thousand recruits, had col lected only thirty. But, on the other hand, Colonel Seourtaniotis, who was recruiting clandestinely for Grizzioti, had succeeded in raising two hundred men, wbo had already reached the camp of the insurgents. "In the midst of the many falsehoods which they utter on the one side and on the other," says the Cburrier d'Aihines, " mita the situation of the two amps at Chalcia, it is difficult to discover the truth. One fact, which is alone sufficient to maintain the in quietude of the friends of order, is, that the govern ment, who receive the reports of General Gardikioti three or four times daily, maintain the most profound silence as to their contents." The same paper adds, that the news from Continental Greece is most afflict ing. The brigands were in such force, that commu nications in most places were interrupted. Papers from the Mauritius state that the markets there were rather flat, owing to the near close of the shipping season. Cp to the end of May the quan tity of sugar exported amounted to 129,443,3811b5. The nominal quotation for the article ranged from 5 dole. to 6 dole. 50c., according to quality. Freights were called 31. 10s. to 4!. The rate of ex change for Treasury bills at 30 days' sight was 2 per cent. premium ; private bills at six months were selling at 3 per cent. discount. Sovereigns com manded 3 to 6 per cent. premium ; and British silver, 11 to 2 per cent. premium. THE LATE CASE OF (QUASI) ABDUCTION _ AT MALTA. CANNON AND CANNON v.acitiis.—We have already announced the decision of the Civil Court, under date of the llth of August, 1647, condemning Mrs. Curtis to restore and deliver up to the Misses Cannon, the minor, Miss Ellen Cur tis, and declaring it to be lawful for the Mimes Cannon to re conduct the young lady to their own house, where she had been left (at school) by her father, George . Savage Curtis, Eq., until his further orders; and that against this decision an appeal had been lodged by Mrs. Curtis. On the 16th of August the ease came on for bellying in the Court of Appeal, before Sir Ignatius Gavino Bonarits, Kt St M. and St. Geo., president, and her Majesty's judges, Dr. Paolo Dingli and Dr. Francesco Chapelle. On Use part of the plaintiffs, Dr. Adriano Dingli, with whom wss Mr. Solicitor W. J. Stevens, demanded the con firmation of the sentence of the lower noun, which Agos'ino Spitcri, with Mr. W. Stevens, solicitor, for the defendant, opposed, on the grounds that the action, though instituted against the mother, was in reality in inter est of the daughter, who was of age. according to the statute law of Malta ; that howsoever indifferent she, the mother, mien be, as to with whom the daughter remained, yet• never theless, it was not (or her, the mother, nor would she drive out the daughter from her natural parental protection ; that the mother had, according to the law of Malta, an undoubted right to see bandit* the education other daughter, whatever dispositions or arrangements the father might have made on thin head ; and finally, Mies Ellen Curtis, who was present in Peron, haring a direct interest in the suit, prayed that the Nun would receive and put upon the record a written paper, containing some observations which she was desirous of submitting. The court, although the president stated, in Which the other two members concurred, that the young lady, being a minor, could have no will of her own, admitted the production of the address, the contents of which were ns follows „ M 7 Lords,— Feeling that I have not power to express by w sad . o(mcuth all I would wish to communicate to your I trust you will receive this note as a respectful earamary of my anxious wishes and determination with "lard to the present subject in dispute ; also to state ear- Nitil a few particulate which have been falsely represented awl armed to be facts.

She is in a foreign band, with no one to stand bar friend, and shame fully oppressed by all ; and it is my decided determination to remain with her, and to comfort her ea much as possible the remainder of her days. "My humble petition to your lordship is that I may he allowed to give my own evidence in this case, and to do jus tice to those who are falsely accused.—l remain, with much respect, my lords, yams obediently, ELLEN Celine." "Monday, August 16, 1847." Dr. A. Dingli, on the part of the plaintiffs, replied, that the . young lady, being a minor, he was not hound to call her into the suit; that his clients (the Mises Cannon) had had delegated to them by the father full paternal authority, and be contended that they had a full right to recoaduct her to their school. The cause was not that of the daughter, for, as the court had properly observed, the daughter had no will of her own ; in fact, the ease was reduced to the removal of every impediment on the part of the mother to her daughter's return to the are and keeping, for educational pur,toses, of the MiseesCannon, where the father had thought proper to place her. He offered to read, and did read, au thorities bearing upon the ease ; and stated that he had wit nesses to prove that the young lady was, even under the law of Malta, a minor ; that she had not left Miss Cannon's boat and protection of her own free will, as now Pretended in her wr;uen address to the court; and tendered, in proof of the mother'. divorce from her husband, the Statutes at Large, passed in the 6th session of the 14th par liament of the United Kingdom of Greet Britain and Ire land (9th end 10th Viet.), where, under the head of private act!, will be found "An Act to dissolve the Marriage of George Savage Curti*, Esquire, with Emma Curtis, his now Wife ; and for other Purposes." The court declined hearino any evidence, but after retiring for shout an hour to delib-rate, declared that it saw no reason why, independent of the citati a of the young lady, sentence should nit be pronounced rind thereupoa gave judgment " actor log to the prayer of the plaintiff., to the effect only that the defendant should not in any mode impede the re turn and stay of her daughter with the plaintiff.; and in this mode ',formed the sentence of the Civil Court of the 11th instant, from which an appeal had been instituted, faith party paying its own sue a.'

ARDVEREKIE, TL'ESDAT MORNlNG.—Yesterday af ternoon it was expected that her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, would have made an aquatic tour on Loch Luggan ; but the royal party did not make the excursion, owing to the roughness of the water. His Royal Highoess Prince Albert yesterday, in company with the Prince Leiningen and a retinue of game-keepers, proceeded to the deer.forest, where, after about two hours' stalking, his Royal Highness returned to the lodge at about one o'clock, having killed a 6nc stag, which was, of course, conveyed home and placed on the lawn as a trophy. This makes the fourth of the horned species which the prince has killed since his arrival at Ardverekie. This day, it is thought, the Prince will proceed to the moors; but, as changes are made up to the last moment, we cannot speak pssitively on the subject. Earl Grey is expected to leave either tad► or to-morrow ; and Lord Palmerston, it was thought, would have arrived yesterday evening to succeed him; but the noble foreign secretary did not make his appearance. A change in the secretary department is, however, sure to take place this week. ANOTHER ASSASBINATION IN PARIS.-It is Tit monred in Paris that a son of one of the most distinguished Marshals of the Empire has murdered his mistress and fled. —The cause of M. de Montesquieu's suicide is attributed to his having committed forgery.—According to the National there are some shocking scandals whispered about, affecting high individual,. Loss OF ruE AUCKLAND.—We regret to announce that private letters have been received in town, which leave very little room to doubt that her Majesty's ship Auckland has been unfortunately wrecked. This vessel was engaged in endeavouring to carry out Lord Stanley's project of find ing a fit site f.,r a new penal settlement, we believe to the north of Port Emington. The first attempt, as our readers are aware, was a complete failure, but as at was in hopeless efforts of this description that the energy of Lord Grey's predecessors was chiefly remarkable, a renewal of the at tempt was determined on. A site was discovered possessing the advantages of being completely without water, and being so infested with mosquitoes as to be actually uninha bitable. It was on their return to announce this hopeful discovery that the Auckland went upon the rocks.—Morning paper. - -... TELE GLAMORGAN STEAM-SIIIP.—A correspondent, who dates his letter " Bristol, lit September," says ..—., I em happy to inform you that the arrival of the Glamorgan this morning has removed the pa‘nful rumours which pre vailed yesterday as to the alleged sinking of that mail, and tke loss of same hundred lives. The voyage was altogether • diustzous one, and the ship was placed in a most mama situation : yet it is gratifying to know that there has bees no injury to life or limb. The Glamorgan was an old beet, and has hem laid up for some time past. The vessel wu sd mild hi II pleasure trip to Weston and Minehead, to take a t, as 7, quitting Bristol is the morning and re in as evening, and she was described as • large and ate. The first diseppaiseaut the pemengere We mssllles rifseal of the captain ( who sated that he was fearful at *keg the tide) to permit more than one boat full of puma_ ryas to lead at Westonenper-mare, and consequently many persons who had not intended to go beyond that point were carried on to Minehead, where they arrived at about 4 o'clock. The passengers were preparing to land and enjoy the font hours' rustic amusement which had been promised when the aspirins told them that in half an hour the vessel must be again got under weigh for her return to Bristol. In conse- queue only two boats full of passengers were landed, but in a short time mach alarm spread among the whole of them, in consequence of a strong smell of burning, which gave rise to a cry that the steamer was on fire. The unto ace which ensued was indescribable. Females screamed, and fainted in all directions ; but it was discovered that the Ire had arisen from a birch broom having been incautiously Arad on the top of the boiler. Subsequently, much alarm mess from a cry that the boiler had burst through want of I water, and that, in consequence, the steamer had sprung a leak and was going down. The pumps being kept can- etantly at work strengthened this belief. Some persons state that the engineer and some of the crew were intoxicated; but this the captain and the crew deny." A MEMORIAL TO TILE POET CRAZIER was placed in the church of Aldeburgh last week. It i. • marble bust, rather larger than the natural size, standing apes • graceful plinth, also of marble, on which is sculptured • suspended and unstrung lyre of antique model. Beneath appears the following inscription .—"To the memory of George Crabbe, the poet of nature and truth, this monument is erected, by those who are desirous to record their admira tion of his genius, in the plus of his birth. Born Dec. 24, Mt ; died Jan. 29, IB32."—The erection of the testi monial was first suggested by the vicar. Discovray or A ROMAN VILLA.—The Gloueeater Journal states that during the first three days of last week the local antiquaries were much gratified by an opportunity of inspecting the foundation of the Roman villa lately dis covered at Stancombe Park, in this county. By the kind ness of P. B. Purnell, Esq., the owner of the soil, these curious remains were thrown open to the public on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday last. The area occupied by the rills and appurtenances comprehends • space of about mix ___ acres. The specimen of tesielated work - are not equal to otters which have been brought to light in various parts of the country, but the extent and arrangement of the plan, and the beauty and eonveniene. of the situation, are amply suffi cient to arrest attention. The site was visited by hundreds of persons, and on Wednesday the public invitation of Mr. Purnell ism responded to by many of the leading homilies of the county, who were cordially received and hospitably en. tsrtained. A HINT TO TIFF. FARMERS of the principality is given in the North Wales Chronicle of Tuesday. The editor of that journal, in an article upon the prospects of agricul ture, and on the necessity that exists for farm improvements now that protection is withdrawn, says : " Model farms, got up by the landed proprietors for the edification of their tenantry, are effecting quite a little revolution. One of these experimental farms, in the immediate vicieity, we may refer to. The swampy coursing-ground upon the Penrhyn property, near Aberogwen, called Glanmore, in extent about 120 acres, within the memory of man a source of vexation and loss to tenants—that impromoing piece of ground was, about two year, back, pnrposely selected as the site of a model farm on which fairly to carry out and tevt the efficacy of draining. aubsoiling, &c. without regard to expense. Accordingly, Mr. Wyatt, of Li;ne-grove, took it in hands. Two main drains, or tunnels rather, empty ing into the sea, were established in the first instance, mid the next step was a process of draining and thorough draining. The subsoil plough did its good office, and rushee, mosses, and other like dropsical symptoms quickly disappeared. By dint of good management the soil was brought into tilth, and last year's crops were sufficiently en couraging. The object in view was steadily followed up, and this year magnificent crops of wheat, barley, and oats, were realised, while the green crops, the swedes especially, are very promising. The harvest on this farm was got in on Saturday sennight, leaving all the neighbouring farms full three weeks behind. Now surely this is something to brag of. The ground is now being prepared for a large breadth of wheat, to be got in forthwith. A farm yard on a thoroughly scientific system will there he seen ; with an eye to liquid manure, the drop. pings are conducted to a covered tank convenient to the road, with a pump attached. The stables are thoroughly drained and ventilated, and there is an entire absence of ammonia. no very injurious to the sight of home. The number of hands employed seems unusually large, but con sidering the nature, extent, and variety of the works in hand, not out of proportion. The green crops on this farm, about 12 acres in extent, are kept in order by boys, ten ridges a piece an arrangement which keeps them sufficiently apart to guard against waste of time, irrespectively of which an account of each boy's work is taken at the close of the day, and payment made accordingly. We may add that six ' horses and 28 cattle are maintained upon this farm, which our informant, himself a practical agriculturist, who has travelled far and wide in search of improvement, declares to be equal to the best managed things of the kind he has ever seen in England. The result of the experiment will show whether or not so considerable an outlay may be ventured span with safety by that class which cannot risk the loos of capital." WIND-Cr OF A YANKEE ADDRESS.— " May it please the court, I hod rather live thirteen hundred centuries on the small end of a thunderbolt, chew the ragged end of a flash of lightning, swallow the corner of a Virginian thorn fence, and have my _bowels torn out by a green briar, than thus to be bamboosUd by those gentlemen." SJ 2- t (OrtSl N0.315.] LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPT. 2, 1817. [3d. 'hie H ARVEST. —M I D-K EN T.—The hiuirest through out is now nearly completed, and we are thankful to say that the crops are excellent, and that they hare been housed under the most favourable circumstances. Whet her the —s. farmer's return will be commensurate with his produce ie another question; grime apprehensions exist that prices will not be remunerative. oar last the weather has been favourahletolh; ingathering of the Crops. Great quantities of wheat and oats have been secured in excellent condition in South Lancashire, and large breadths are now fit for carrying. The bulk of the corn harvest may now be considered safe. By the end of the week the fields will be clear in all casts where there bee been ordinary diligence in securing the crops. As far aa we can judge from observation, and hear from inquiry, we believe that the wheat crop is fair in quantity, anti excellent in quality, whilst that of on.. is ',itch more than en avenge, and in excellent condition. Barley is toe little grown in this part of the country to afford us the means of judging of it from extensive observation, but the reports from other parts of the country are very fa vourable. Beans are everywhere either a total failure or a very email crop. The gram crops of Lancashire as • whole are very good, both en to quantity and quality. With regard to the green crops, we have to report as follows Mangelwurzel, which is beginning to be grown to an extent proportioned to its value, is a splendid crop. Swedish turnips are very fine, and in general healthy. Yellow turnips have grown luxu riantly, but are losing their colour. Potatoes are a fine cep.but extensively diseased. The severity of the disease vanes greatly, being in some places almost confined to the leaves and stem, en others extremely destructive to tlis , roots.—Licsrpool COMMERCIAL et MARKETS.

I.—At to.day's market there was very little new Corn offering, and having many buyers, tome from the manufacturing districts, the trade ruled brisk at fully the rates paid on Saturday for Wheat. Oats and Beans without demand. Weather very good for getting up the remainder of the harvest. Wheat, red, 46e. to 50s. ; white, 4Ss. to 5A.; Oats, 16s. to 20s. ; old, 225. ; Beans, 48s. to 525. EVESJIA,I, Aug. 31.—There was a good deal of Wheat offered in the market on Monday last, vendors making an effort to maintain the prices cf the lut week or two, but in effectually, and several samples changed hands at prices varying from IS.. to 21s. per bag. Barley firm at late rates. There seems to be a good deal of foreign corn of inferior qua lity finding its way into the market at low rates. NERCISTLE, Aug. 3l.—The weather continues of the most favourable description possiblo for harvest operations, in which considerable progress is being made. At our market this morning. we had a moderate show of Wheat from the growers, which consisted chiefly of the new crop, and which sold at very irregular rates. Fine old, whether English or foreign, was offered currently, at 30. under Saturday's quotations ; and the business dons at this decline was purely of a retail character. Flour must be again noted 2s. to 35. cheaper, 395. being a most extreme quotation fur households; and 41a. for whites, whilst average marks are selling 2s. below those prices. Rye totally unsaleable. Grinding Barley in fair demand. Egyptian qualities com manding 21s. to 22.. per qr., weighed 491bs ; and other sorts in proportion. Malt dull, and inclining cheaper. In other articles little passing. DI:FILIN, Aug. 31.—Onthis day's market we experienced • lively demand for all descriptions of grain, and a general improvement in prices was realized. We advance our quo tations fur Wheat ls., and for Olt., Barley, and Bert, 6d. per barrel. Indian Corn was in demand at a slieht improve ment, and Flour was ls. per barrel higher. The following was the currency for new grain;—Wheat, red. 265. to 305.; white, per 280 lbs., 28e. to 32.. Oats, per 19611 w., 10e to 12s. Barley, per 224th.., 13s. to 16s. Bere, per 221161., lls. to 12a. 3d. Rapeseed, per 2241 he., 265. to 30s. Oatmeal, per cwt., 12s. to 15e. Flour (in sacks), per cwt , 19s. to 20s. 6d. American, per barrel, 291. to 31s. Indian Corn, per qr. of 4801b5., 21s. to 335. BEI.FU‘T, Aug. 30.—We continue to have flue weather, and, an farmers are busy in securing their crops, the supplies of new grain are trifling. New Oats, of a prime quality, for mea'ing, readily brings 71. Bd. to Bs. per cwt. We expect that the bulk of the crops will be secured in this neighbour ' hood by the close of the present week, if the weather should continue favourable. Indian Corn is in good demand, sad the quantity of white on sale being mall, holders tome realiaed an advance of 10s. per ton ; and prime yellow is also ss. per ton dearer. Flour is beginning to get scarce, and good American sells at an advance Is. to 2s. per barrel. Sales of Wheat have been effected at from 121. to 13!. per ton for good prepared Irish and foreign. It is expected that new Wheat will open at about 10e. per cwt., for the best quality. The following are our quotations :- Indian Corn, white, 7!. 10s. to 81. ; yellow, 71. to 71. 101. per ton. Indian Corn Meal, white, 81. 10..t0 91. ; yellow, 81. to N. 10s. per ton. Ryeareal, Russian, 7s. 6d. to 81. 6d. per cwt. Wheat, red, 12e. to 13e. ; white, 13. to 13s. 6d. per cwt.

Buyer were not disposed to purchue freely, and receding prices were submitted to. During the fair, Unary. Lyne and Cother offered tome Rams from the celebrated flock of Mr. Alban Bull, of Hartwell, near this place. They made excellent prices. Twenty sheer Hogs averaeed eleven guineas each. Four two-shear Sheep made 6,9, 13, and 19S guineas. - - • - iIETER, Sept. I.—This market wu but sufficiently sup plied with all description of fat stock. Previous rates for fat Bullocks were not supported. Consequently the quota tion must be stated at from 50s. to about 61s. per cwt., or from 9s. to 10s. 9d. per score. For butchers' Calves the prices ruled more equally than on the preceding week, the quotation being from 6d. to 61d. per lb. With respect to Sheep, likewise, though a fair business was done, the very highest rate of the preceding week was not again obtained. The quotation for fat Sheep must be stated at from sld. to rather over 61d. per lb. As regards fat Lambs, certainly some prime fetched rather mere money than the preceding week, yet the entire quotation must be stated at from 6d. to 71d. per lb. There were many Cows and Calves, but not beyond a medium rate, nor were these on so free s sale as was the case not long since. Leans, Sept. I.—The show of Cattle at our market this morning did not avenge, either u to number or quantity, the supply which has been offered for sale at late markets. Neither was the supply of Sheep large, but those shown were of a superior quality. The limited supply of both Cattle and Sheep a said to be owing to the surcay of pasturage caused by the want of rain in the northern counties. Both Cattle and Sheep met good sale, at prices a shade higher than Last fair. Borrnsti, Sept.

THE events at Home, the policy of the Pope, and the menaces of Austria to crush the liberalism of his Holiness, are subjects that excite far more interest in Germany than they do either in France or with us. We hare grown rather cold to constitution-monger ing, seeing what it has produced to us in Greece and the peninsula ; and the public, we fear, looks rather to the efforts of Pius IX. with a dilettante feeling of pleasure, than with any eager interest or sympathy in his cause. As to France, it regards Italy as it does Spain and Greece, solely with a view to the extension of its own influence, without any of those high and generous thoughts which French politicians once possessed. The French applaud the sacrifice of ISABELLA to the future grandeur of the MONTPENSIERS ; they would willingly to-morrow see Plus IX. and his liberalism sacrificed to Louis Plinasses tripotage with Ambit. The only country where popular and political feel ing is strongly awakened in favour of papal reform is Germany. It there takes the shape of a religious as well as a political reformation. The Germans con sider that if the papal government were liberalised, if cardinals of liberal opinions were appointed, and the sacred Collegeclearedof its superannuated influence, a very great and salutary change would ensue, in e spirit of catholicism. Prussia and England d ar u e le b2 peculiarly interested in this view of the =on. The governments of both, and that of also, have large catholic populations to rule and to manage, to content and to instruct; so that the spirit which is to animate the papal government is to these three powers of the very greatest im potence. And seeing this, are they to allow the Pope, having entered of his own accord into a course of improvement and reform,—are they to allow his Holiness to be crushed by Austria, and the Roman pontificate flung back under that old bigot influence that Austria has set up at home and adores abroad ? These things are, we understand, under the serious ociesideration of the courts of London, Berlin, and St. Petersburg. France, under M. Guizar and Louis PHILIPPE, has unfortunately given up its influence and its independence to Austria. These French statesmen have adopted the higher catholicism of the court of Vienna, in order to flatter it, and to form a catholic league. France supports the ultras of Switzerland, and the klephts of Greece, in conjunction with Austria, and seeks to join with Vienna in all the politics of Syria and the Levant. It hopes that Austria in turn will recognise, or not oppose, the rights of the MONTPENSIER.S. The most serious part of this alliance is, however, the cement of France to sacrifice the Pope and the liberal movement in Italy to Austria. Prince MET TERNICH, as we before observed, durst never have ventured so far in his encroachment on the city of Ferrara and his insults to the Pope, if he were not sure of, at least, the tacit assent of France. Lucca is threatened with disturbances, and Austrian troops, it is understood in Germany, are to march there too; and there is no road by which they can march but through the papal territories. Here is an excuse for invading the latter, and intimidating South Italy. If France and Austria have, however, entered iato this new, holy, and catholic alliance against the libe ties of Italy, does it not become the other posse to form a counter-league for the one purpose et counteracting their designs? It may be difficult. The interference of the northern powers in favour of that civil liberty to the Italians which they so grudgingly allow to their own subjects, were singular and little to be treated. But, nevertheless, these northern powers are interested that the Popedoin should not ft-become a bishopric, divided, as of old, between the influence of France and Austria, with the head of the catholic church completely under-the sway of whatever statesmen may rule at Vienna and in Paris. Such a state of things may no longer cause such in convenience es it did in the middle ages ; but still it might be productive of serious evils, and it becomes both governments and countries to be alive to them. There is no result in politics which we more de peatte, than the revival of religious leagues—than the pitting of protestants against catholics. We are sorry to see each a country as France set so bad an example, and play so mean and hypocritical a part, u to set itself up as the champion of catholicism in conjunction with Austria. It is quite plain that M. GUIZOT has condescended to employ the political capital which belonged to the Most Christian King. The untoward consequence has been to awaken in Germany, and especially in German protestants, their old mistrust and hatred, not of catholicism, but of that political catholicism which Austria upholds, and which remains as much its flag in 1817 as it was in the thirty years' war. The King of PacastA has betaken himself in per son to the scenes of Italian trouble and Austrian en auschnsent. His journey is in part, no doubt, one of pismire. But all know the extreme interest and unseientionsuess which FREDERICK WILLIAM IV. always brings to the consideration of any question that concerns religion. He cannot forget his position a Germany and in Europe, nor forget the double ditty imposed upon him of putting a check to fallen am, whether it be made the instrument of popular bubulence or dynastic ambition. THE conclusion of the recent assizes was marked by two complaints —one, which is repeated every circuit, of the inclination of judges to force litigants to consent to submit their causes to arbitration; theother, proceed ing from the bench itself, of the inclination of the courts of equity to transfer their duties to judges of nisi Fritts. There is no doubt that in their anxiety to expedite bu siness the judges sometimes urge too strongly on un willing parties the propriety of a reference ; but it is equally certain that in many cases the suggestion from the bench is dictated by a perception of the un fitness of the tribunal before which the parties appear to do them satisfactory justice. When the issue is to be determined by the examination of cross accounts between plaintiff and defendant, every item of which is probably disputed as to liability or amount, a jury is a most useless appendage, and an arbitrator, who, if he has less weight and experience than the judge, has more spare time, will be able to enter into the details of the case more fully and efficiently. It often happens that such a cause would take three or four days of the assizes, to the grievous incon venience of all other litigants, of /ritualises, public officers, and jurymen. The attorneys in such causes ought to refer them under a judge's order, without bringing them into the nisi prius court; or if for any reason they find it convenient to have them opened there, they cannot complain of being driven to a reference which they ought to have foreseen. Another case in which a judge is justified in urging a anbmbsion to arbitration arises when it appears that material circumstances in the cause were excln- rely within the knowledge of the litigant parties. ' Neither plaintiff nor defendant can give evidence in open court ; but it is usual to give an arbitrator power to examine them at his discretion. It often happens that a claim which can be supported by wit nesses is answered by • set-off, which can only be established by the testimony of the parties themselves, and of course many other instances occur in which the ends of justice are best furthered by a mode of proce dure less closely restricted than that which is esta blished at tasiprius. After making, however, all reasonable deductions, there are many cases in which parties or their attar• neys justly complain of being deprived of the advan tage of a decision from the tnbunal to which they de liberately had recourse. It is often important to liti gants not only to have a cause decided by verdict, bat to have the opinion of one of the superior judges se' essential points arising on the hearing. An arbitra tor, however competent, can add no authority Or the intrinsic value of his decisions. His award, howeese conclusive in the matterto which it refers, Orb r' rale for the decision of questions which may iavain the same principle, even though they arise between the same parties. Attorneys and counsel are often aware of these and other reasons for declining the suggestion, and sometimes resist.- ing the urgency of the bench; and they are justly dissatisfied by being forced into opposition, though on a collateral point, to the presiding judge, and com pelled to appear in the light of obstinate claimants on the time of an impatient and disappointed jury. It appears to us that a part, at least, of the evil might be removed by a change which appears in many ways desirable, and which might be adopted gradually by way of experiment, and retraced if found to be a failure. We can see no good reason why judges of nisi prius should not, under that or some new commission, sit for the trial of issues without the assistance of juries. There is no doubt that in many cases the jury is a great impediment to justice, and in many that it is merely nugatory. Nothing is more common than for a jury to be told at the end of two hours' discussion wholly unintelligibl e to th em, that they are to find a verdict for the plaintiff or defendant as the case may be. Their presence is, however, • greater evil where an issue, of which the judge tho roughly understands the bearings and merits, is left to their decision, with only an indirect instruction, which, as far as it relates to facts, they are wholly at liberty to disregard. For the present, however, we are recommending an experiment of dispensing with juries rather from considerations of convenience, than with a view to justice. The saving of time in the hearing of causes would be very great. Counsel could, with safety to their clients, be comparatively concise ; summing, up might be converted into short state ments of reasons for the judgment, and many diffi culties as to technical points of evidence would be gradually disposed of. It ought always to be remem bered that the extreme technicality of our common law, and especially of the law of evidence, has arisen as a counterpoise more or leas necessary to the want of scientific training in juries. They are forbidden altogether to look at an objec tionable piece of evidence, because they have no rule by which they can assign it to its proper class. The modern law is in practice quite as careful as the ancient to make provisions—Par cause de !'ignorance des lais gents. When a document tendered in evidence is objected to, the first remark of the judge is, for the most part, "Let me look at it," which he is allowed to do without scruple, though every exertion is used to prevent it from biassing the innocent minds of the jury. If he added to his present functions the duty of deciding the issue of fact, we see no reason to suppose that he would be more prudish in risking the temptation of undervaluing a technical objection. The saving of time which would be produced by this alteration, and the additional facility given to the judge for dealing with minute and complicated de tails, would evidently go far to obviate the inconve nience of semi-compulsory references, of which so much complaint is made. The judge of assize would hear the important causes which are now sent to arbitration ; and the remainder will perhaps best be disposed of by the continuance of the present practice. Parties who complain of references which continue day after day for weeks at a heavy but unavoidable expense, will do well to calculate the cost of an equally long-continued attendance at Nisi Prins to themselves ' even putting out of the question the burden to the country at large, and the intolerable grievance to suitors waiting to be heard in their turn. Among the advantages which world arise from a trial of issues before a judge, would be a great dimi nution of subsequent litigation before the warts at Westminster. All motions for new trials on the ground of perverse verdicts against the direction of the judge would be at an end. Nonsuits would no longer be entered or new trials granted, except in greatly diminished numbers, on account of the im proper reception or rejection of evidence. At present the court above has no means of judicially knowing whether a document submitted to the jury, which probably they never thought of, may or may not have been the substantial ground of their verdict. The j judge, if he had beenjudge of fact, could satisfy them in an instant that, although he did improperly admit the evidence, his judgment was based on independent reasons. It is unnecessary to give farther instances of the forms of litigation which, having, as we have said, been provided to correct the incompetency of juries, would become superfluous in their absence. The experience of every lawyer will suggest abundant illustrations of our position. In considering the mode of introducing the change, which ought certainly in the first instance to be par tial and experimental, we are not disposed to recom mend an adherence to the system established by the Local Courts Act, where the suitors have it in their power to demand a jury. It seems probable that this choice might be exercised as often for a bad as for a good purpose. Either tide might be aware that it was stronger in popular and ad cuptandum arguments, and fear the cold impassibility of a judge. We have little doubt that it would be more judicious to select a particular class of cases for the experiment. In one of the late numbers of the Law Magazine, a writer who adopted views somewhat similar to those which we are now advocating, sug gested as proper matters for the exclusive jurisdie tion of a judge, actions on bills and notes, and those very common and complicated causes which depend upon the priority of claim on behalf of aheriffs, bank ruptcy and insolvency assignees, holders of bills of sale, landlords, and all the other conflicting sufferers who struggle with one another for the wrecks of ruined fortunes. We should not be unwilling to adopt the suggestion. In both classes of causes the judge has generally, much more than the jury, to decide even under the present system, and his labours would be rather diminished than increased by adding to them the power of finding the issues of fact, which are often simple and distinct even when the legal questions are most complicated. If the experiment was found to succeed, the plan might be extended to all actions of contract, and to those which, although they are technically said to sound in tort, substantially involve only questions of property. We should hesitate longer before we extended the jurisdiction of a single judge to civil actions for per sonal violence, libel, cram. eon , and other causes of action which are in the nature of quasi-criminal pro ceedings. In finch causes as these, common opinion is often the truest measure of the damage sustained, and common sense the fittest judge of the probability of the facts narrated. With a 'Aron impression of the advantage of juries in criminal trials, we are not at present prepared to dispense with them in capes of a similar nature. On a future occasion, we may show that a change as slight and easy as that which we suggest for diminishing the necessity of arbitrations, might enable the Court of Chancery to dispense with the amistance of Nisi Fritts. WrrEN the houses in Middle-row, Holborn, fell down, fhe neighbourhood congratulated itself. All London knows the story. Every one had been saying for years how they ought to go. The authorities would not lend a band to relieve the cumbered ground. At last, one fine morning, the houses, as if fairly ashamed of themselves, tumbled down— committed suicide, in fact. And now, at last, every one thought, the desirable riddance was achieved—that the ground must be cleared, the thoroughfare widened, and increased air and light let in on a quarter which wanted all it could get of both. We grieve to find that the congratulation has been premature. Middle-row is not to be cleared away. The houses are to be built up again as before. We know nothing of the particular parochial sta tistics of this quarter of London. We have no in formation as to how many persona are interested in this property, what they ask for it, who are the parties that should purchase it. All we know is, that the in habitants of High Holborn are losing a good oppor tunity of widening their crowded thoroughfare, and removing a block of buildings which has always, within our recollection, been a nuisance and an impe diment. But the inconvenience is by no means a purely parochial one. It affects all who have occa sion to travel eastwards along Holborn, and in these days, when the Strand is liable to periodical eruptions of its pavements, it is of no little importance that Holborn should present the widest possible thorough fare. The acquisition of the 'diddle-row property appears quite as proper an appropriation of the public funds as that of George-street, Bloomsbury, or West street, Smithfield.
