It is s swim natter to end an anetrat institu tive of the orwintry no ►osger capable of Walling the **et of its elisions*. Hitherto it has ►anti roaddrred that trial by jury wee the beet mesas, am invented for protrotiog the ingot:est man ana l for punishing the guilty. Is a free country it is anosstial sot only that the verdict should satiety the lawyer and the phikmopher, bat that it amid Witty the groat nisicwity of the public. Hitherto Jeri= have enooseded is this difficult task ; and indeed it would bodlifieult to cod a tingle case is which their verdict has been set amide unless they have coupled It with a recomensodatiou to mercy. It should, no doeb , , be added, that the ability and discretion of the Judges have greatly contributed to tli'v meat desirable result. No doubt there was much in this system which was far from perfect ; sad the interference of the Hoene flecntary, always • politic-al officer, but not necomarily • trained lawyer, was far from satisfactory. But the English people are • practical people; they rather prefer an anomaly ; and so loot as that high officer interfered only at the instance of the hwy e and with the soncion of the Judge, he exercised is very deuterons power. The ease, however, of Dr. Buffrdiner, whica has just occurred, has rudely shaketi this time-honoured system, and it seems to be the universe' opinion that such an anomaly must not be allowed to recur. It is. indeed, a happy cir cumstance that at the present moment the office of Home Secretary should be filled by a man so calm I. judgment and so stern in his love of justice se Mr Cowrie tit Lam; not is it possible to believe that he would have taken the course which he has adopted union he had satisfied himself of its rigid justice. At the same time he would be the very first man to admit the Imperative necessity of en imme diate remedy. In the adminlatratioe of all law, but especially of criminal law, the essential point is certainty. Society ought to lay down the coneitions which ought to be fulfilled in order to evince a conviction, and these conditions ought to be rigidly enforced. If the accused person is to pass before several tribunals before he can be finally oonvicted—all these tribinals ought to be bound by the same rules. If it be deemed improper that the maestrate, or the coroner, or the judge of assize, should have in- terviews with the friends and relations of the pel weer, it should be equally improper in the Home Secretary or in this judge of appeal to do so . If the evidence of the wife agairst or in favou r of her husband is excluded in one stage of tb s proceedings it should he equally excluded in every other stage. It the evidence ought to he given openly and under the sanction of an oath before one set of judges, it ought to be given in the seals man ner before another etc. If one court in which the accused person is tried ought to be op. n to the public, and if one judge is required to sit in public, the same conditions ought to be required in every other wart and of every other judge. If the caters of the charge should be &early defined before the first judge, the nature of the sc. usation should be equally defined before the Mier judge. In short, the/else laid down for this purpose of cund acting tridesboold he laid down for these"' purpose of thrtheringjustisei and therefore they should be ae few as possible in number, and lust rigidly enforced. At present, however, it is .year that all the rules considered as essen tial before a mazi,trate, a ceroaer, or a judge of mass, are mostly disesolled by the Hoene Secre tor y. He may have inteniews with the prisoner's ville or eelatiees—he may receive their evidence; he may read the testimony of teaspoons eorrespoo dents, and therefore accept evidence tendered with- out the suchen of an oath t he may sit in his priests nose, with ao one present but a single witness, and dove all he may try the convicted man without tinier him whether he is trying the gayeties of the emeeat of punishment, os the gemlike of bit mama 'vitt.

Is abash all eases no doubt the Home Ikeetetary ra boos to disturb the verdict of the jury, sales the Isry have intimated a desire that he sheald d. see by mososesentiing the criminal to mercy ; sad to this preetiee the Home emestaries haws hitherto adhered. Indeed it is probable that unless this win the custom, and unless both the judge and the*, felt the retroneihi:ity of their pasitioo, the Wroth and seropalotts anaiey to do justice would be fatally diminished. The moment a man hods that his ma is not Baal, he in likely to become careless ; and the mods 8 n which grind jerks perform their dada', meapared _ . . with the ;ode in which petty juries perform tiara, . . _ is some proof of dm proposition. It is certainly a metier fur serious consideration whether a mart of appeal on matters of het would net materially diniaish the core at present bestowed by jwstioAs minimal trials I though it moot be odesittwilhodida civil sow so seek malt has followed. Th. 4asstioa however w is, not whether aa oppsoi as le =Mew of foot should be grunted, but in what wawa tits lipped should be conducted. MO truth is there is an appeal es matters of feet. Late events bare distinctly peeved that no sooner has a mon bees ceavieted than the Home Beoretsry is called wpm to review the dealss it the judge and the jury, and that task the Home Secretary has undertaken. Now nukes the whole dear judicial system I. a cumbrous absurdity, that Minister has se MIMI of properly dische-giog the task imposed upon him. And the reel questioo in how should this grave defect be remedied? It will net do to say that every men convicted of any celms shall hare an appeal, for such a thing would b e Wisely impracticable. It sal not do to say that an appeal shall be allowed where the judge and the jury, or either of them, express a doubt; for neither in the case of PALMED., nor in that of Dr. 831tMem', would the appeal have been grouted. The pence at present to be moved is the Horne Secretary. The most cnirecient plan, therefore. is that this officer, upon the advice of three et the jedgee, should grant the prime r Wee to more for a cow trirl before an the judges. If permission were granted by the Home Secre tary spun the 'deice of the three judges, and that 'armlet were afterwards ratified by the twelve, the trial should take place. No doubt, in strict justice, ' society ought to possess the same right as the sup posed criminal. his quite true that many more crimi sale are unjustly acqaitted than unjustly coademned. If a prisoner is entitled to a new trial, so is Society, repreeented by the Crown. Bat human nature is too weak for this. The maxim Nemo bin rezeri eight is too deeply fixed an men's minds. If a man were tried a scoobd time he would be sure of an ae (Otte. But a second trial for a convicted man is every different matter. The question is not mere natter of speculation. It is forced upon public at tention. The right of appeal uto facts exists now. The solemn judgment of a judge and jr7 is liable to be reversed by the judgment of a single indisidual acting upon principles which may be just or unjust, bat which are totally undefined, and which ought, therefore, to be excluded from every judicial system. gbe Cart.

EUROPEAN kIJANCES. no writer is the Itadepoulasal 8010, whose remarks on the relations between France and &g -land have attracted so much attention in the press, retiree to the subject, and in reply to the charge brewed against him of mating an ill feeling between Um two national, says r•'' I believed, simpleton as I was, that after the four wars which have taken place in the space of flee years—the Ragan war, the China war, the Coehin•China war, and the Italian war—it might be permitted one, even in Fracos,no longer to consider the celebrated Bordeaux _ declaration in an absolute sense. As to the threats held out towards England, I repel any intention of that kind. One does not threaten a ship by placing • beseo• on the rock upon which it may split. On the contrary, an opportunity has been afforded whereby it may escape the danger to which darkness may expose it. If, instead of cannel ing the difficulties of the last war, it had been frankly and honestly diseased from the beginning, in the light of day, it is more than proba ble that Fawn could compote 50,000 strong men more than she can now; for we might then have arrived, without a conflict, at the point where we now appear to stand—the assembling of a oongren to determine the fate of the Italia• people." The writer goes on to say that nothing has been settled at the conference of Zurich; that France and Austria are divided more upon a question of prin ciple than a question of fact. The cabinet of Vienna would yield upon all questions of detail, ens upon the question of the duchies, if it were &stared in the first place that Piedmont would put an end to the underhand opposition which, notwithstanding the retirement of Count Caner, it is keeping up in Italy against Austria; and in the second place. that the abandonment of their rights by the princes of Central Italy was not to be regarded as a sanction of the revolarlocary principle of allowing the people to select their own form of government. The Court of Vienna would not concede anything to a principle which must lead piece by piece to the dismemberment of the populations who are ;mini under the sceptre of Francis Joseph. The two Emperors must above all things come to an understanding on the princi ples to be established, the end to be aimed at, and the eo•sequencee which are likely to follow from any concession; that may be made. It is not l'kely that the diplomat'sts, who are met at Zurich, can settle gustier, of ea much importance. The two Emperors ea alone decide in another interview the paints on which a fusion of revolutionary right and monarchical right can take place. The mission of Prince Richard Metternich to Saint Seinenr is connected with this interview. If the French Emperor should accept the proposition of Austria—if France should desire an alliance with Austria with a view of giving to Ansti's at a future tame an equivalent in the East for what she might lose in Italy, the Vienna cabinet would yield it. It rean'-is to be seen whether the Emperor Napoleon will consent to this interview. The following telegrams have been received at Mr. Reuter's office this 'morning : FRANCE. PARIS, TUUDAT. Resr-Admiral Du-Pony, who had been summoned by the Emperor to St. Bnnyeo-, be, jest quitted the Imperial residence and proceeded to Cherbourg.

Crux ors own PARIS, MONDAY E• 1111110. The language of our morning journals on the sub ject of Victor Emmannel's answer to the Tuscan deputation, is that of complete approval. The Slide considers that the declarations answer all that the circumstances demanded, and prove the king's prudence, tact, and devotion to the Italian cause. The assembling of a congress appears already an established fact. The tone of the Caw Mitulionnel appears to me eminently satisfactory. I find some weight attributed to the rumour of a revision of the electoral lists, end a revision of the franchise in Tuscany. Should the provisional government consent to such • step, we may feel tolerably certain that it will only be from a belief in the strength of their cause. The repetition (or nearly so) of the electoral events which oecr-red in the Danubian provinces, wit' surely be followed by the same result. I have reason to know that the statement in the baiyenclance as to the building of more frigates is cermet. Nevertheless it would be wrong to assume that the relations of France and England are at present in any danger of being weakened. Every thing points to a contrary conclusion. As regards them frigates, let it be remembered that this is a elms of vessel in which France is weak ; and es regards the general question of the naval prepara tions of France, they mast be viewed ri part of a system which the imperial government has long been, is, and will continue to be elaborating—the raising, namely, of the French nasy to an unpre cedented strength. What the future may have is store for this generation no man can say, and, of course, England must provide for all eventualities; but I repeat my firm conviction that for the present the storm has blown over, and that both countries may in all security pursue thee peaceful avocations, and unreservedly enter into the sort of peaceful strife recommended by the president of the legisla tive body. The probability of the meeting of a congress, and that at no distant period, was talked of at the Boune, and the market had an upward tendency. A greater rise in securities would doubtless hare , taken plane were there any business of a speculative character now doing. Renter were in demand at 691 r. 20c. to 139 fr. 23c., for both ash and account, being a rise of 30c. and 23c. respectively. Mobilier, 823 fr. 73e. both for cash and account, being • rise of 13fr. "i6c. and Bfr. ibc, Some activity °bier Ta ble in railways. Lombards were inqo'nlid for, as were also Orleans and Lyons. Considemb'e invest ments continue to be made in Obligations. The Pays, I am happy to find, does not persist in the tone it had adopted yesterday. It is contented with remarking that "some journals do a certain violence to the royal words, wherein they seek to find a meaning which they do not contsin . . that ' the King accepts the annexation of Tuscany provisionally, and coder reserve of the approbation of the great powers.' . . We see nothing in the reply that resemble* such an acceptance." It is placed beyond doubt that M. de Grammont hes had an im portant interview, first with the Pope alone, and afterwards with the Pope and Cardinal Antonelli together. What passed is more or less matter of surmise; but there is reason to believe that the French ambassador firmly but mildly represented the Roman question as being not the least pressing of those at present under consideration. The point immediately at issue is not that of the reforms in the Roman administration--they will and must come later, if a catastrophe is to be avoided—bat of the mode in which the liberty of the Legations shall be reconciled with the preservation of the status quo of the temporal power of Rome. In short, to solve the arithmetical question of how to trke 2 from 4 and yet leave 4 P For, twist and turn it about as you will, that is the way in which Pius IX. insists upon placing it before you. He won't give up the richest part of hie patrimony. He is bound to keep it in the intern% of catholicity ; and if you, his eldest son, are resolved to take it from him, well and good; but you do it at your nun proper peril. You may try to colour the proceeding, talking of a suzerainty, a separate administration, a tribute In acknowledgment of his beneficent authority; but what you meditate, in compliance with the national wishes, is neither more nor lees than spoliation. And so it will go on till—as in the case of the Dukes —the eldest son of the chumh will probably be obliged to say, " You see how it is, holy father ; pub lic opinion is too strong for me. lam a man of my tr. I know how to yield in that, with a good gram. Yon mast retract your nonpossumus, or its all over with the papacy." Your readers will have men that, accon!!ng to the Indepeada•cs, his Holi ness perceives so much of earnestness in his beloved eon's advice, as to make him declare he will at once give the whole country the constitution of 1848. The answer of the Romagna will be, "It is too late!" It is stated that the number of troop. which his Holiness has in arms at Pesaro has been exaggerated. It consists in reality of no more than 3,000 native troop', 2,000 Swiss, and two regiments on their way '-om Rome. Tag FETE or ST.

Disraeli, that extraordiatury conjuror, had sleeted wonderful transforms- Hoes In the ranks of his followers, from the day on which be zostamerphoerdtheaa Into freetreders: nevertheless, English men were not quite ready to give the tory leaders credit for being reformed into reformers after such a delusive measure as these pretended converts to reform pro duced when they undertook to deal with the subject. A real convert was apt, if anything, to overflow with real for his new opinions, and generally fright ened his friends by going too fez; but when we saw rue, notwithstand , ng their so-called conversion, manifesting so seal at all, but noticed that they were lukewarm and cold, unwilling to budge one inch further than they could help in the cense which they pretended to have espoused, it was oart•sin that they were mere time-servers. Was any cal seal manifested for popular rights in the precious dishes &bring clauses of Lord Derby's bill or in the speeches by which they were backed ia parliament ? The present go vernment, on the contrary, was pledged not oily by the ne °tellies of their position, but by all their last priacipke, character, and beton, to the cause of reform. The names of Lord John Russell and Mr. bilker Gibson were In them selves a guarantee that the coming reform bill would be pro portioned to the Increasing intelligence and growing capa city of the people. The English aunties, and Essex In par tkolar, most rally round the only government which could be safely entrusted with the affairs of this great commercial country. He did not wonder that the agricultural mutt tuenoire were formerly the strongholds of traryism ; but • wondrous change had now oome over the spirit of their dream. Even the most obstinate of the self-styled fanners' Meads had abandoned that claim to peculiar favour; the bubble of mote2tion had burst, and It was diffl :elt to see how the agricultural csnetituencies could go on much longer in blind reliance on the politicians who, intentionally or not, had so grossly cajoled them with busies hopes. He be lieved that with tree trade recognised by all parties as the law of the land, the farmer began to perceive that no lees than the townsman he bad an interest in public economy sad retrenchment, and in those pruneive reforms which were the watchword of the liberal party.

CHELMSFORD, Nowise Brinerno. This town has bean the scans of a good deal of poltled ettehment this afternoon, in conesquence of the ovation offered by the liberal electors end non-electors of South Essex, to their late rep•evatative, Mr. K. B. Wing field Baker. The host. gentleman was met by his friends In the grounds of Kr. T. D. Ridley, and a procession was formed and traversed the town. The reception experienced by Mr. Baker vaa mod medial, and the committee formed for conducting the proosediage prenatted him with a vote of thanks for his post genies', gni • request that he would allow himself to be put in nomination on • future °omen. To this ?Neat It la needless to osy that Mr. Baker acceded. At three p.m. a large pasty, numbming at least 750 per sona, dined together In the spacious and elegant Corn Ex change recently erected in the town. The romp 'Vail pre mated on the occasion was extremely styling, the •utoselve area of the lofty building befog crowded to execes, while pendant from the roof was grouped flags d every deearip don. The chair was occupied by Mr. TurDALArxtersore,and immediately bthin4 the hos. aid hereof mamma were displayed the femone tine : " Freedom's battle once begun, Bequeath'' from bleeding sire to son, Though baffled oft is ever won." Mr. Baker occupied of course the post of honour, en the right hand of the c►airman, who was supported on him Wt by Mr. Sutton Western, M.P. for Malden, and Mr. J. A. H•rdcsstlo, M.P. for Bury St. Edmunds. Mr. J. OILZI Fannie occupied the vice -chair; and the company included the leading liberals of the town and district. Orem was said before and after dinner by the Rev. Mr. Lewis. The Camargue, having in eloquent terms prop teed the nasal loyal sad complionotery toasts, gave " The House of COMMMOMS." ageortiatlag with the lout the acme of Mr. Hardeastle, M.P. (Chews.) Mr. HARDCASTIA, M.P., In reply, said the media,' was mainly a ton-electors' gathering, and the manner in which those present had received the tout showed that they had at all events mule confident* in that Hones of Commons townie the election of which they had ludesotly contributed. He be lieved they Ultras confidence bemuse they anticipated that in that new reform bill which had been often promised and not 'seldom attempted, but which had not yet been parsed, their claims to exercise the great public duty of voting for representatives of the people would be recognised and insintainn. If his prophecies upon the "object of a new reform bill were not more snootoda than the predic tion of those who had pee before him he should not have much to boast of In the way of esooeu ; but he thought it Might at all events be anticipated that one important part of that reform bill would omelet—as be trusted It mfght ▪ &large extenalon of the franchise.

It bad always appeared to him that the question of the Weirton of comer end boroughs was, to & great extent, • matter of detail, and that the principle involved In any reform OM, whatever It might be, was the franchise.
