A consideration of &traria, therefore, in contributing to one common burden, and a desire, moreover, to plane the system of relief to vagrants upon a more uniform and systematic footing, has prompted the guardians of all the City lesions to unite in the endeavour to establish ose central email ward in the City of London, to be supported by the ratepayers of the City according to me uniform principle.

CIIMAL PALA= ev- ONI Ilauznio DAT. Tumuli, Jaw. I.—Adisierlem as ' sons lidleik 697 Mei villifili"rar: 5,159; alibi bridge Essays have numbers, we trust, will prove . the present number is that on of English Criminal Law, by Itephen. In this acute and thought - brings into prominent relief a of our English system of criminal distinguished from the methods prevailed in other ages and countries - litigious, instead of being inquisiturial ; in other words, that a criminal trial with us, is not so much " a public investigation, having for its object the ascertaining of truth with a view to the infliction of punishment," but rather " a private litigation between two persons, one of whom tries to persuade the judge that the other falls within a class against which the law has denounced certain punishments." Mr. Stephen shows, histori cally, that the inquisitorial mode of investigation was that which formerly prevailed in this country and he gives an exceedingly ingenious and able view of the various stages by which the one method in the course of time came to be exchanged for the other. It is clear that Mr. Stephen has studied the whole subject in an enlarged and liberal spirit. Judging from internal evidence we should say that his original bias had been in favour of the continental system; but after a comprehensive and dispassionate review of the practical working of the two methods he thus records his judgment in favour of our own ; Upon the Whole, I can hardly doubt that an Inquisitori a l system of criminal procedure would be very unfit, both on political and on juridical grounds, for this country. It is in consistent with trial by jury, which can only exist where the questions to be decided are very definite, sad the gamma Bpm which they are to be decided are Omit and een if judges are able to found conclusions as to mat's guilt or innocence upon the expression of his face, tisingree of confusion In his statement', the amour of prisons' el mind which he r 04•01111011, and the quantity of falseboodeisito which he may be seduced by fear or by telly, as wall as by enaction guilt—and that they can do so with any certainty' do not the least believe—juries assuredly cannot. If, there fore, we are determined to have juries, we must have rube of evidence, and an impartial judge to enforce them. In other word', we must have a litigious, and not an inquisitoral procedure. It must also be remembered that the inquisitorial principle can only be carried out by a degree of interference with individual liberty which no one in this country would sedum. The investigations which anomie' carry en in the ordinary coarse of there business are not always very agree able to those whom they affect; but who would submit to the humiliation of being summoned before some petty country police innsctor, to give account of a chance expression about some trial which had attracted public attention ,• or of being jto subj ected a "searching investigation into the whole" of ones " past life," conducted by the clerks of a local police. oflice, because it was justble that the result might throw light upon sum such f pomi Such proceedings would make the administration of justice absolutely odious to all classes of . . essisey. The wsperisi efficiency of th; inquisitorial system is seisonsiT queste. Every acquittal is • misfortune, h. it either impbes that an innocent man has been elapsed, or that a guilty one has escaped; but acquittals are es mason in France as in England, and their convictions to us to ha, in Meta owes, far less satisfactory. Yr Nene system of criminal procedure is a moo saint Ineelewnosit than oar own for the discovery of id', ib • geolien whisk edzeits of much doubt. Thr opy et whisk it requires to support • °Doric ilea is y meek lower than ours, and the deld over tan si llsots evidence much larger; bur it is • most reneario to dis that the proportion of acquittals oonvio dans in assn helm a jury is almost precisely the raw la bosh elm* one case in four ending in that remit Wised, if we la counting the English acquittals, the arm in whisk Ike is thrown out by the grand ury there ere coesibrably fewer, as the proportion in England would on that oaloulation be rather less than one in ilvt. The essay on Telegraphic Communication with India furnishes unanswerable arguments in fa vour of that Suez line, on the superior merits of which all ratioual people are now agreed. In the paper last referred to, Mr. Girborne gives a very readable narrative of the varying fortune' of th. Suez and Euphrates valley router. The biographical notice of " Porson" which follows is exceedingly well done, and forms the best com pendious account anywhere to be met with of the life and labour, of that extraordinary . man. The follow ing peasages afford a graphic picture of his habits and personal appearance in the later period of his career : It le at this time that tome remarks upon his habits of life seas celled for,. and, without raking together all the foolish ireerise told to his discredit, most of which are exaggerated, end sway absolutely false, I fear we must net shrink from elating that he was Mdicted in no trifling way to the vise of dripking. to such an extent aa ooasidevably to Mirk his usefulneas, and which, to doubt, contributed to shorten his life. And with all the allowances that ought to he made for one living in Ruch times as the close of the last century, I fear that Porton in this respect exceeded what was even then considered tolerable. No doubt there are teeny palliation' to be urged for him—his seri, illness when • boy, and in mos a eleeplesmieu which attended him through life, loreedhim to seek society at nights continually, end society then always involved hard drinking. And after en evening spent either at the deanery of Westminster, or at dishonest of any of his other friends, he would fail to spend seine hours afterwards at **Cider Cellars, in lane, where he would pour f nth Greek and English poetry and prose to any who would listen to him. While aloes, Its never drank to exoese—end he would always easindiate his baits to those of the house in which he was staying • thus, whoa spending some six or seven weeks with Ida dater on the occasion of his father's lest illness, beheld most regularly and abstemiously. His health through life was never very good, and, whenever be felt unwell, his usual remedy was total abstinence from food ; for physic and physicians he had a great contempt, and yet curiously enough many of his most intimate friends were physiciaas. In a letter written in 1802 to Dr. Davy, he says, " I have been at death's door myself, but by a due neglect of the faculty, and plentiful use of my old remedy (powder of post) I am pretty well re powered." Innerwasal appearance be was tall ; his head was a very • ese, with en =pensive Sorehead, over which hs plea. tend his bows heir ; be had a long Homan nose, and his ens wen iminksbly keen and penetrating.

Mr. Hopkin's paper on Geology is no doubt va luable, but it has the fault of attempting too much. It is impossible satisfactorily to travel over the limits of a science in the comps. of an essay. Mr. Hop kins is too elaborate for an article and too succinct for a treatise. The all:absorbing subject of the day is tA h un s z=d in the Cambridge Essays, Da lillgra OPMeiliffl koowledge and creditable good sense to dismissing the Questions raised by the Sepoy mutiny. His paper is well worth reading, and we find room for some of the conclusions to which his investigation leads him: Oar administration of India has had signal merits, but wants stimulus. This impulse would be given, to the first pleas, by giving more power to the local authorities. And again, by giving to each of the five great divisions et India a really independent government, in ell matters of ad ministration. And again, by surrounding each governor with • large legislative council, of experienced civil and military Akers, melded, perhaps, by selected natives. Bat if not then by combining the Court of Directors and the Beard of Control, with large additions of retired Anglo- Indiana, in a council. Its deliberations to be public. The seat of government should be in the hill country, not in Calcutta. The governorships, Mid governor-generalship, should be the of the moat distinguished ability displayed in India itself mises The freedom of the Indian press is, upon the whole, a good, not an evil. The seniority system in the army should be freely broken into. The military of ere should no longer be drafted off to civil appointments. A better proportion must be kept between the European and native troor, but this rather by lessening the latter than by Increasing the former. The artillery and forts should only be entrusted to Euro pomp. No military expenditure would be so effective as that upon railways. It might lead the natives to greeter loyalty if the Queen were called Empties of India. It is our duty, as a Christian country to show forth equal merry of purpose, in our gratitude and in oar vengeance. On the whole we close this number of the Cam bridge Essays with two equally firm convictions: 1. That those who read them through will be unable to perform that praxes without considerable profit. 2. That the number of these conscientious students will be somewhat select. GOVERNING INDIA BY PARTE (From the Saturday Review.) We almost scorn to argue with the man who does not see that, if ladle is once the football of contending parties, in a few turn. it will be struck far beyond the reach of either of them. The danger is not so much that bad measures will be defended and good once assailed with all the strength of faction—though that danger is almost la finitely great-as that individuals will be judged from • party point of view. In India, men are of vastly greater consequence than measures ; but it is one of the peenliaritiee of an active condition of patty spirit to decide the relative capacities of men by a standard even more arbitrary than it applies to resesures. The great axioms of party are that the worst whig is better than the bast tory, and the worst tory than the best whlg. Is there anybody in possession of • memory reaching fifteen or twenty years back, who will venture to say that, with India once within full tiew of England, a Wblg majority would tolerate the notion that a Tory statesman and • Tory general were the heart and hope of their respective services P From 1828 to 1840, it was difficult, we believe, to get a liberal to allow that the Duke of Wellington had the lout talent far strategy ; and we may make up our minds that the dificalty woooulldd have beams an impossibility if the qualities of the pence criticised had bee& exercised in • lees conspicuous field. It would be hard to name a angle Indian celebrity to whom the repines of faction would not have been fatal. Mr. Mountatnart Elphlastons is, we believe, • liberal ; and Sir George Clerk has the reputatioa of being • commisera tive. Does anybody pretend to think that the Ant would have been allowed to legislate for the Maluattas when the beim were in power. and the latter to govern a presidency with the widget in office, unless the labours of both bad ham prosecuted under a system to which the political *micas of the mother country were utterly foreign f There may be a question whether it was tries to recall Lord Ellenboroagh ; but it is quite certain that there may hereafter he a person in Lord Ellenborough's potation who may have all the violence and preelpitation of which he wee accused, and all the incapacity of which nobody seemed him. Let it never be forgotten that, under the existing system of Indian government, the most powerful minister of the century acquiesced almost without complaint in Lord Etlenbomugh's recall, and simply exerted !limed to place in the vacant post the best successor he could dis cover. We should like to see • council of India recall a m.g•strnte standing equally high with Lord Ellenborough in the affections of his party. We should like to see It even advise hie recall. It may be assumed that, if • governor general be &b eater socceed dewily form of incapacity under the sun, the whole energies of the new Indian department ' will be strained to seaman him in utiles till the end of his term.

People catering for the tastes of even the most select public should remember that solidity may be overdone. The gen tleman who rushed into an hotel and ordered • dinner of six courses, three of boiled beef and three of roast ditto to follow, was found on inquiry to be labouring under a chronic infirmity of judgment. The conductors of learned periodicals would do wisely extreme experiments upon the in. of their readers. Unvaried unrelieved wisdom are apt oppressive.

I understand that in the ranks of the army at Madras there are native Christians, and I have heard that some of the guns at Agra are at this time manned by native Christians. I outsider I should be wanting in my duty at this crisis if I did not endeavour to secure a portion of the numerous appointments in the judicial depart ment for native Christians, and I shall be happy (ss he m I an)) to advance their interests equally with thole of the Mabornedan and Hindoo cemMdenni--their future premed= must depend on their own erelle.

A report was brought up from the committee on works and Improvements, to the effect that, considering the serious evils represented by the memorial from the vestry of Cam berwell to have arisen and to be likely to arise from the existing condition of the sewers in the Surrey and Kent district, and considering also that the works of the mein drainage, however soon they may be commenced, will not for several years be sufficiently advanced to relieve that district of those evils, the committee recommend that a pumping station be erected at the spot indicated by the enamour, for the purpose of producing a continual discharge from the sewers, at an °unmated expense for construction of 7,0001, and for maintenance of 2,0001. per annum. Mr. Tarot INS moved that the recommendation of the eem mitt"e be agreed to, mid it was urged by other members that se the main drainage scheme was hung up for a considerable time to cams, this district should be relieved by the ex *Mks of the works now proposed. Mr. Luaus opposed the motion, as being an expenditure not justified by the set of parliament. Mtn some dlacumion the motion wee pat and agreed to. TUB WAIN DILAINAGI AND CIA B. liALL'i 11FHILEZI.

The ENGINE,. uid no information had been received, and although the engineers were working very hard at their report, they had been greatly impeded, in consequence of not having received this tnformation. Mr. CAILPILILIL mid It had now become time that this board shield take up the question, and deal with it without farther delay. He suggested that they should have a special meth* of the board to oonsider what course they should pursue under the drctunstances.

DEATH 01 JUDGE MOORS.—The Right Ron. Richard Moore, one of the justices of the Court of Queen's Bench, died We on Thursday night at his country peat near Dublin. He filled euccessively the °Moss of Solicitor and Attorney General, and was raised to the bench during the ministry of Lord John Russell in 1847. Although nothing certain has yet transpired with respect to the legal changes and promotions, it is generally supposed that the Attorney- General will mowed to the vacant seat fa the Queen's BIWA end that Mr. Christian, the Soholeor-Generel, will be the Isle Judge Jackson's ematesce in the Court of 0011M11011 Pleas. The Prose of this day says "We believe we shall be correct in assuming that Mr. Brewster will be Attorney-General. He held that office under Sir R. Peel and Lord Aberdeen, resigning ft when the latter wee overthrown. Mr. Brewster has the admitted* of being a protestant whose convictions do not reader him hostile to the pretensions of the Roman catholic party. He was once a stanch conservative, bat a change bee come o'er the spirit of his dream, and be is now perhaps mom • whig than anything else. He is, however, • man of indubitable ability, taking a fret rank in t he Irish bar; and his appointment would, therefore, be unobjectionable, viewed as the act of • whig government. The difficulty, we imagine, will be to adjust the rival claims of the many aspirants to the office of Selidtee-GeoseraL Mr. Deasy, M.P. for Cork. and Mr. Serjeant O'Brien, M.P. fur Limerick, both Roman catholios, ere spoken of by their friends and themselves as the coming men. The gamer is much the superior man • but the latter is most in haw with the Roman catholic p arty, being the MOM blasted dills two. Then Mr. I. Butt, M.P. for Y end a protestant, Is also named for the distinction. He is • mean convert to Palreentealent ; and, if we are not mis hit uasi led • short time ago • pleasant trip to Vienna in a q capacity.
