We have beard it pleaded, not long since, that asocial motive for keeping a bilge fleet in the M. ci enemas, or at least for keeping it off Sicilian pees, was that of humanity. And ham mitt eret may that fleet did show by reeeivirg on board may of the u*fortunate retagees from Messina and him Palermo, who otherenee we old have fallen vast sae to tie vindictivenees of the Neapolitan*. 'lbis p.l ey of mercy, of interfenne to save human Le, was nohy acted upon by our enrol sad by the American consul at Roue, who by passions and ode r meats facilitated the escape of i.emerous liberals who otherwise would. tee obi s , bare bee in Papal dungeons—perhaps in those of the it quisition. The I.berey to emboli was, however, of hale woe, unless Nome friendly shore would also neeive the exiles. Preece, of mem, re pociated those who had fought against her tonnes. Austo tams and Neapolitans closed the port. r f Italy. Spain was one of the be'l g rent.

Lord PALMERSTON and Lod CAILLP.LIS, in both Hoene. of Parliament. But the British governors in the iteetterreneen could not rue ye them. Was horror of *air deeds the motive with those governors, ho "re omelet each thetr thousion .. a year from the p chats of gee eroua Er gliehmen ? It might be the ewe s ith Mr. OTERRALL, who has shown in Malta sone of that religious liberality which he was wont to el um for hi. co-religionists in Ireland. lodeed, the to ly cl.im ever pot out or possible to be con ceived for Mr. O'FettanLL getting office was his beino a liberal catholic. And • liberal cathilic he may hay, affect dto b • in ord no be appointed• Lord of t r. Treasury or Admiralty. But a bigot catholic he shoes himself in order to recommend himself to hie whit superiors as a fit governor of Malta. And what was the excess for these acts of tyranny ? P. are that these Pathan liberals would excite a revo lution. A revolution in Molts I an island teemirg with BAWL soldiers and British gene, and epos which English gold Las been heaped till it may be said to have been paved w'th guineas. And yet we cannot esfely keep Malta, if some score of Italians, full 44 nepte t and gratitude to the British name, as they were, and to Blitish protection, as they ex pected to 11 were permitted to land en the island. Wt v, the plea is monstrous; it too ridiculous to be met by any other argument than leughter, except, in deed, by the scorn that should overwhelm any gover nor oe mini.ter daring to put forth a plea at once so pu, rile and so mendacious. Fee, foci, force stories are told of these poor Roman exile a, stories taken from the reports of the French pipers and police, when it was the cue of there to calumniate the m. It is alleged, that Hime was de fended by • kind of nomadic band of revolutionists, who appeared emcee Nivel)! in Berlin, in Rome, at d in Batten. Lord CARLISLE himself hi.. given the fie in the Hoe.. of Li rds to this base alone er on the de ferd re of Rome, who were all Italians, if not Romano, and Italians, too, of bit th, education, and fortune. And again we are told that orie of these terrible foga Tre, who made Mears. WARD and OTSIRALL tremble his drew tourist his way to Venice, in order to teke part in its defence. How criminal ! how astral ! And how do we know but that it was the ref uml of our governors to receive this exile, whoever be may be, that forced him to fling himself amongst the time defenders of Venice? The pleas, theref ve, pat forward for the conduct of our Nlelteie and Corfu governors, are falsehoods on the face of them. Such conduct was not inspired by fears fat the Tom. of the garrisor, amidst which a few I aliens could be but impotent. It was inspired by a mean and dastardly desire to conciliate the defogs governments of the new Holy Alliance md to display EnBlielo authorities as sympathising with Austrian snd with Russian butchers, rather than with the victims of their oppression and eleughter. We accuse Loma NAPOLEON of trimming, and of duck ng a head, almost girt with an imperial crown, before the potentates of Eastern tyranny. Be' Loins NAPOLEON is incapable of so mean and merciless an act, as that of *Fuming Italian exiles in or.'cr to curry favour with Austrian diplomacy. Lotus NeeoLxox crushed the Romans at least la open war. England favoured them with her patron age whilst they were triumphant, but kicked them from her threshold es soon as she found them ruined sad in misfortune. We have not words strong enough to cap ens ur opinion of the meatiness and cruel; of our geveroment and of its cholea minions. Two months have now elapred since the public Peeling of the empire was startled and scandalised by the partisan tragedy enacted at Doily's-Brae—a tragedy in which the parts of deepest interest were played by men of rank, property. and education. Pubic seutiment was never more distinctly or deli berately expelled than en that occasion. It some were sal,•nt none glowed any disposition t 3 screen the guilty or to extenuate the guilt ; while from every lin that gave articulation to the general sentiment, the same indignant sentence fell—whoever and whatever these men are, the judgment seat must be cleared of them. Two months, howe*r, have unaccountably been suffered to elapse, and not only have the Orange magistrates who heeded and harangued the mar dercue bards who paraded the country on the 12th of July, been retained without censure or reprimand in the commission of the peace, bat the euccennve steps of preliminary adjudication rendered necessary by the acts of their followers have actually been left to them. The farce has followed the tragedy. The "slaw ivre of the ill-fated persona who fell upon the fatal it in qu-stion by Orange bayonets and builete, when seeking to have informations taken out against those who committed this butchery, Ind on the bench to which their application is addressed, not men of the lame faction merely as the ringleaders of the accused —nut their known intimates, friends, or relations, ealy—but the ringleaders themselves! Who ate the victims ? Women and children. Who are the claimants of legal inquiry in the ordinary way P Fathers and eons.

A bench of 11 justices et the peace, presided over t/ e Lotd RODEN. Of the others, 3 were clergymen of established obureb,— that church for the defence of whose monopolised wealth Oe angeina was first invented, and by whose desecrated influence it has of late been principally revived. I Still one would have imagined that being there. these noble and reverend members of the court would have been ecropulc us to show impartiality, or it that were beyond the reach of mind, to oonoi hated. that they have observed when the moment for owing • decision came • deal t tentralitr. Tbc merits of the case were fully so t forth in argument es' both sides; and they had in ireovrr the advantage of having the assesmorship of an able and well-read lawyer, who was sent down to collect inform-ties for the government on the subject. Mr. Biswicic does not appear to have voted on the speak question at ismer, not conseiv'ng probably that he had any local jurisdiction which would warrant his on doing. But he publicly pronounced tins wrongs,. °Anson as to the illegalry of the assemblage whose interrurion by the c itholic party hell led to the fatal affray, and pointed out in the clearest possible manner the obligatiers which lay upon the miegietrates Wu informal:iamb properly sworn and sustained, rest any parties who might have participat ed Mein.

But they found •hems gars out-yoked by their six brethren of the quorum, including Lord RODEN, the three pro e•tat f clergy men, and two more. d what does the , nns .phistiested reader suppose was the ground of this nn: annelid decision? Not that they disbelieved the tenor of the informal/on— set that they were even informal; bat this—that they could not admit the illegality of an armed ;Noce s.ion such as that which their noble chairman bad feted and harangued, and that they solemnly believed the. were acting only in accnrdaros with the wishes and desires of the extcu ive g viol-foment in pro lamin' acid encouraging such as-emblago s.

We know set what the Chw.c llor of Ireland may do on the eseasion. One thing we ko iw, that were Lout PLUNK= kieyer of the Irish seals, be would need t.o time to °ponder whet was his duty in the matter, and, discerning his duty, he would unhesitatingly perform it. And unless his sucioes.tor be • very dif ferent and altered men fr in that uncom,oromising and clear-beaded sdvocateofp litical ju.tice ot other daye,—if MAZIRRI BRADT, as we hope and believe, be as cinch aged in principlo aa , ti ri solution,—he will in the exercise of hie high taco viudo we the honour of the law and deal with these magistfates as they deserve. If this be not done, and done with• rat further trifling or twaddling, there is an et d of all monk sanction for authority it. Ireland. No catholic will believe—no catholic can believe, that he lives under the guardianship of the ',awe law as his protestant neighbour. The instinc sof self-preserva tion will prompt (and who will immure to say that they will nor warrant) him in taking fresques the beet and most aft etual he can to del. nd Lis person and his house. Violence will in all clams a and in all circumstances be the predominant charactorisiic, and force will become the erre r of the day. And this shame ful and diss , tr .os etate of things will be the upshot and issue of all the vaunted schemes of im peri,l wisdom and imperial power. But we cannot endure even in hypotho site to believe in t •et irresolution, which would lead to such deplota hie results. The Mr. tin The I ' opin an Au Tatum are not many, perbap., of our readers who have ever viei•ed a Chapter-house.

"In this house," says an old author, "the prior and limiter, each rnenib r in his own stall, did meet te consult of the atia ra of this church and monastery. Here did they celebrate the elections of their bishop., their priors, and their other offi.ers. Her: censures, and peraoces, and corporeal ties istreents, for the love of God, were imposed and infi.cied on delin quents, aid in some cas. s even with ,ods." it was, says Bishop GRANDI-ON, in Ile chAp•er-house of Can terbury, that King HENRY 11. • ff. red his back to be ecourgel by the monks, which was done, anno 1174, after the usual manner of peniteetel nierpline. We thought all the scourging', aid fistula, and petiteness, and reverences, and citations of tie year 1174 Lad 'alien into d. suetude, Lever more to be revived. But the account in yest. rday's Daily News of the proweedit ga in the Chapter-hove at Rochester relative to the itupenitett meet. r of the Cathedral Grammar School proves that we were mistaken. The account of that proceeding forcibly brings bask to us all we ever heard or had of monk sea proceed ings in retard to sinners. Fitton member of the protestant chapter—aid the reporter gives a goodly list of them, with WI their ti les and preferments and honours, academic sod ecclesiastic—each member of the chapter sat enrobed, in his own stall, under his own canopy, the dean pre-iding, and the chapter clerk attending to record their mandates. They sat in solemnity, in silence, in all the pomp of a cathedral chapter. They had ;us% finished morning prayer, sod ctisequently were wore inclined to refection and less to conversation — especially as "the dividend" was not below the ave rage. At length the doge — we beg pardon of his reverence, the dean—directs the culprit " Winning" to be summoned to their presence. The clerk humbly suggests that the renegade has addressed the chapter, praying that he may be permitted to attend by counsel, or to have the assistance of a legal adviser, or at least to be attended by a pri v ate friend. A moderate request it is enough; the difficulty, we should think, would be to find a reason for rejecting it. But the Chapter do reject it—and without • reason. Mr. Wlitirrote is ordered to attend alone. Four learned Canons and • Dean he is to meet : each of them skilled, or supposed to be skill. d, in all ecclesiastic law and learning. The Dean and the guar Canons have their law adviser present. Their solicitor and chapter clerk, and auditor, sod deputy-r gistrar is in waiting on the prow esters : but the prof defendant is to come " alone " unattended, unassisted, unadvised—to "show cause = s he should not be patished , " and "true reply to to all interrogatories" that his prosecuting due may suggest to him. the only difference between the procetdins in 1849 and a sim ilar proceeding in 1174 coosista the single circumstance that the officer of the chapter Imo se ecclesiastical law-book fee an instrument of torture instead of a thumbscrew or the hams Mr. WHISTON, however, appears. lie makes, we learn, due obeisance to his judge-prosecutors. They maintain a solemn silence. They make no sign of recognition. They acknowledse not his presence. -- AU is suit : They sit, In silence, as in ju d g ment there; garb is black, and black the " business" is, And black their renal aspect. Mr. WInSTON is the first to break the dreadful silence. He asks if they were asseugded t • try him ? —and, the officer replying in the affirmative, he hands ins protest or demurrer to their jurisdiction on seventy two specific grounds. Oar readers will he obliged to the reporter for not setting forth the whole of these w objections. From the specamens he has given e should think any one of them sufficient. Thine we, amongst others, protests on the re ground of " prejodioafts," " bias," " interest," "condonation," "contempt of the High Court of Chancery" (no joking matter that), dupka oszatio," and a long protest setting firth "that it was un seemly and contrary to all law, reason, and justice, that defendant should be called upon to answer before the chapter, as his sole judges, an accusation in whisk their own character, honour, and credit were Nee ceased, and which arose out of charges made agaBlll4 themselves of misappropriation of cathedral fasies: Mr. WSW:TON, in this demurrer, clearly had the best of it; and having beaded it in, be paused Lie qua► ties, and, none being pm to him, withdrew.

Mr. Sidney Smith and Mr. B. Ledger appeared for the Wares, sad Mr. 8 Browne for the conservatives. The Court proceeded with the list of voters belonging to the B►ken' Company, and the lint ease tarn was that of George Franks, or the R tyal Brewery, Brentford, w ,ese vote had teen objected to by Mr. Browne on the part of the conservatives. Mr. Buren now took an obj e ction to the form of notice conter.dteg that it did not show a substantial compliance with the 20th section of the Ref rm which required that the eddying of the party of jetted to should be stated inside the Bodes as well as on the bedside, whereas in this case the &eminent contained the address on the envelops only. This might be sufficient to enable the postmaster to tieward the notice through the post, but it was not such a docrip tion as would enable the party upon whom the notice wa served, to 'mar that he was the person alluded to. Th. 100th section of the act required that the °outmost be wi— lled upon the fees of the ie.tice that the objection bee reach. , the particular patty at the place of abode meatioued in such objection. If, therefore, there was no place tof abode stated, there evuld be no eel lance that the act had been complied with, and the law r. glared that all judicial documents should be complete in thendelves. In support of his arguments, be cited the ease of " B rch e. Edwards " (vol. 2 of Lutwick's Registration Ca.es), in which it was decided by the Court of Common Pleas that all duplicates of notices must have a cumulative direction, and be addreved on the outside as well as the inside. Tree court were of opinion that the outside address had very little to do with the panty objected to, but was 'merely in ended for the guidance of the Postmaster. ()entre!. It ww., then . tore, necessary that the inside should contain a full descrip tiqn of the voter's peace of abode On these grow.de, he submitted that the notice of objection was bed in form, and that therefore the vote must be retained. • Mr. Btu:isms, on the ether hand, contended that the notice was ;rod, and that the act bad ben strictly complied with. " Birch e. Edward" was a county case, whereas the present was a city case, and all that was required its city and let. rough cases was suet an address as would enable the P.ist master•Otneral to find the particular party objected to in the notice. Mr. M'Cuitterte was of opinion that, aooordine to the 100 h section of the act, is was necessary in county asses to put on the face of the document the addles, as well as the hams of the party objected to; but in eases which came from a borough the set did of rtquire the same formality. He then fore con-idered this notice was free from all oh• jection. The court then proceeded to correct the Lists of the va rious oompac is. comprising the liverymen of Lord n, but no case was brought forward which involved any point of int. rt st.

ONE-HORSE CARTS V. WAGool4B.—Considcritble discussion having taken place amonpt agriculturists upon the advantage of one-horn carts over waggons for farming purposes, and the subject hexing never been brought to a practical test, it became desirable to do so, and a favourable opportunity for the purpose occurred on Friday nut. In consequence of a challenge given by Mr. BonMee, of Wo -.d rifting, to Mr. John Teary, of Semite° (Norfolk), to clear a field sad stack the crop of wheat with ogle-horse carts et a enrollee expense than he could perform the same proportion of work with waggons, the latter accepted it, and a meat in teresting trial came o 8 on Mr. J. Tingey's firs. Massey. Hastings, of Loug4am, Wright Wigg, of Dershass, end B. Alosaek, were appointed judges, and the preliminaries having been arranged, the work proceeded, and was aby and saris factorily performed by the men. At the aonelusloa of the day the judges decided in favour of the waggons, and gave it as their opinion, "m et although in this case ggo clearly beat the carts, yit is not quite certaint hat in other trials the result might not prove quite different noty► for esail, think that the advocates of carts ought to be so Oink teat sa they have bees." STATISTICS OF FIitEXCH LITEREFUIf2.—It is cal culated that from the let January, 1840, to the let Angus', 1849, there were issued from the peas in France 87,000 new works, volumes, and pamphlets; 3,700 reprints of ancient literature, and French dame authan • sad 4,000 transiationi from modern lesignages—ome-third • 'el the latter hoes the English, the Gannon mad the Spanish coming seat in sum• hero, and the Portuguese and the Swedish leagesges having furnished the mailed contributions.

ORIGIN AND ORILCTS OP VIE SCHOOL Or Drumm —ln the year 1835 a select committee of the House of Commons was appointed, on the motion of Mr. E out, "to inquire into the best means of e :tending a knowledge of the at to and of the pri opt.' of deluge smug the peop le (especially the manufacturiog population) of the punter ' Much evidence was taken, which showed the gnat import-rice of good designs in manufactures, and the general prat. rears Oven to neat designs. The inquiry was continued in the erasion ot 1836, and the committee re commended the establishment of schools of design. They also express d it as the it opinion, " that in the formation ot such an institution, not merely theoretical instruction only, but the direct practical application of the arts to manufac -1 tures oueht to be deemed an essential element." Tney added, " that unless the arts and manufactures be practic illy c übined, the unsuccessful aspirants after the higher branches of the ars will be infinitely multiplied, and the de ficiency of m ,nufacturing Wed , ' will not bo supplied." I Acting upon these recommendations, the government ob- Igained a greet for the estahlishment of • " Normal School of 1 Desi.n " On Dee 19, 1836, the first meeting to instittre proceedings was convened at the Board of Trade, and a inesaideo was appointed, consistinc of Sir Fraucia I Chantrey, R.A , and Mews. Caloott. knell, Eastlake, I I i lier and Pell et, to confer with Mr. Pspworth (who it had been suggested should be the director of the school), and to I consider end report to the council w°at should be the mode of conducting the proposed school. The committee having bad sever , ' ineetinp, and conferred with Mr. Papworth, than agreed to the lollowing report: " The object of the priposed school is to afford the mennfacturen an oppor tunity of acquiring a competent knowledge of the fine arse, as tar as the same ate totem*. e I with manulsctures. To do this it will require that the pupil , should be taught not only drawing, but should be made acquainted with the in inciples cad modes of twanging and combining fine forms or orna ment, aide d by light, shade, and colour, less by copying than Iby t riginal arrangement and compositor.. ; adopting 1 as the model, and the best works of established art in orna ment, as guides towards successful imitation. It is as I awned that at present the comparative defect of articles both of trod. and commerce mina from a g I deficiency of team in design and colour. As yet, the advantages of modelling are not sufficiently known by draughtsmen; this additional means of promoting excellence in design deserves adoption and encouragement, even in matten to which in this country it is not yet made subservient. To supply these should be the object of the school, and also to a- ci tat benefit of communicating a knowledge of the chemistry of colours, and so supply general information on the progress and advancement of the manufacturing arts, from as many neuron as it can be obtained. The pupils should be saleable of drawing accurately and with refine ment, as the precursory qualifications of its chief and ulti mate object, +Lice is the promotion of the art of design, or the power of forming combinations in ornamental art, whisk are endless, and altogether necessary to the exercise of flue fancy and sound judgment. It is by the exercise of these qual.fications that the demands of the ever-varying fashions are to be supplied. It is necessary that the students should be confined within the object of the school, namely, to amend and advance the interest of manufactures and ornamental trade. " After stating many circumstances connected with the schools of design, at length the report lays down the following preposi tion :—" A summary of the evidence shows, that although schools of design may bave been the means of introducing a useful system of elementary instruction in drawing, they are still far from accomplishing the precise object of their foun dation, and that alter twelve years' existence they have not improved decorative designs for manufactures many appre ciable intent. The present constitution ot the schools is not working satisfactorily. The general expert. s are increasing without proportknate rem is. Almost all the provincial schools Declining the meet important) are in debt, and their revenues declining. The system of instruction, both in London and the 'branch schools, is matter of controversy, and the efficiency of many of the masters is questioned. the relations between the central and branch schools are not sufficiently harmosions to render them of reciprocal benefit to one another; no class of eminent ornamental de !green has bees created—in short, the whole institution appears to your committers to stand is need of a reorganisa tion, if His to be maintained at the public cast." UNION OF REFORMERS AT ABERDEEN.—Os Tues day evening a respectably attended preliminary meeting was held in Mr. Meston's academy, for the purpose of mak ing arrangements whereby a union of the middle and work ing classes may be brought about, in order to aid the Par liamentary Reform Association in their efforts to obtain those measures necessary for extending the franchise. We (the Bauer) bald this to be a meet desirable object for the country, and gousegnestly, were much gratified by the Aberdeen battles meeting. We earnestly hope it is the precursor at a hearty anion of those two important classes between whisk it is sought, and seeing their interests are alike (are we net all, is fact, workers, some of us hard workers tee t) that they will pall together for the desired end.

THE GUANO or THE CAN.—The riser OM MS presented a rather novel appearance during the last Mee-, night from the number of persons employed to esessehts die weeds cat by the conservators. The properties ot boss weeds, as manure, are, we en informed, truly astosishiag, being so powerful when decomposed that, like gusto, it is Desessary to mix with them something eh*. Large beeps are to be seen at different places by the Bide of the river, some of which are said to be worth from 61. to 101., and col lected with very little trouble in a short time. We wonder that this has not been attended to before, especially as we image a gentlemen who, knowing that the richness of fat land was owing to the decomposition of vegetable matter, recommended to some of the very lemons who are now col lecting this manure to do so fifteen years' sisce.--Cam bredys Chrome*.

Arbon Ira &lf, in o e of our m uning pa on, as follow.: " I unaided Iron the Chateau de Flinn on Sunday evening, the 2a4 'tortoni, at half-past six. At eight, I was over the Wood of Eatery, where I ascertained I wee at a height of 4,000 metres. The Una-erature of the air was cold, but dry ; my contigra e ther mometer marked four degrees below zero. Tne wind was 1109th. wen, and sent me over Nies. For nearly two boors surrounded by very dense clouds ; my cloak no longer sufficed to keep me warm: I suffered much from cold fret. I, nor. rind u, determined to pr , ceed sod to tn.

The cold gradually increased, the wind be came steady, and the moon lighted me like the sun (comma le *omit en pleirsjour). I was at the foot of the Alps; the snows, caecad.s, rev. re, all were sparkling ; the ravines and rocks produced soaves of darkness, which served as shadows to the 'imolai° picture. "The wind now interrupted the regularity of my course. I was occasionally obliged to ascend, in order to peas over the peaks. I reached the summit of the Alps at sloven o'clock, and as the horizon became clear, and my course re• getter, I began to think ef supping. " I was now at an elevation of 4,600 metres. It was in dispenstbly necessary for me to pursue my journey and r. ash Piedmont. Chars only was under me, and to alight in these n glans was impossible. After supper, I threw my emp y bottle into the snow beneato, where possibly some ad- Torturous traveller will one day find it, and be led to con clude that another before him had explored the same desert regions At halt .past one is the moruirg I was over Mount assert, which I koew, having explored it in my first journey to Piedmont. There the Durance and the Po take their source. I reconnoitred the position, and discotered the meg niecent plains o. the mouroale. Before this certainty, a singular erica' delusion, occasioned by the shining of the moon upon the snow, was like to make me think myself over the open sea. But rie the aunth-west wind had not ceased to blow, I was convinced by this fact, as well as by (Abuts I had noticed, that I could not be over thu sea. The stars confirmed the accuracy of my ample, and the ap pearance of Munt Blanc satisfied me that I must be ap. poaching Turin. Mont Blanc to my left, on a level with the spot in which I was, being far above the clouds, resem bled an immense block of crystal sparkling with • thousand fires. " At a cFarter to three, Mount Viso, which was hi hind me, proved 'o me that I Wall in the neighbourhood of Turin. I determin d to slight, which I did without any difficulty, having ballast enough to go much further. I aligh'ed neat a large fiermyart, where I was surrounded by several watch doge, trots whose °erases I was proareted by my cloak. Their Wahine awakened the pessants, who were more sur prised than frightened at seeing me. They admitted me to their house, intormed me that it was half-past two, and that I mu ;n the village of Pion-Forte, near fitubini, six kilo metres from Turks. I passed the remainder of the night at the farmhouse, and in the morning the peasants accompanied me to the mayor, who delivered me • certificate, attesting my arrival, &a. " After pecking up my balloon and ear, I set out for Turin, where I arrived at nine in the morning. I imme diately sat doen to write to the director of the Chateau de Fleur, in order to relieve the anxiety of my wife, friends, and the Marseilles public who might be interested about me. I then repaired to M. Bois le Comte, the French Amtmasador, who gave me a passport. At eleven, the same morning, I attended the church of la Madre di Dio, where • funeral service was performed in honour of Charles Albert's death.

Hitherto the law has been that a creditor who had proved his debt under an estate had ne power of detention ; he had made his " election," and could nut afterwards take the bankrupt in execution. It wee a common practice for eredi - ors to *twain from proving, wi'h the view of taking rd ventage of a euspen•ion or refusal of a certificate; and they often succeeded in benefitiag themselves at the expense of the other creditors. Thee. Men was this anomaly— eher. an uncertifieved bankrupt applied to the Insolvent Deb or's Court, only these creditors who had not proved in bankruptcy could oppose, and thou who had been in strumiental in depriving him of protection were barred irom lurch'? opposition. The 1. giolature has now, by the 257th section of the new get (12 & 13 Vie , cap. 106), provided a remedy. By that section the assignees of a bankrupt, after his accounts shall have become records of one court are to be coneidered " judgment cri diton" for the amount proved, and other creditors, after proof, shall also be considered judgment creditors. After the c nut has refute' a bankrupt further protection, or shall hove ri fused or suspended his certificate, it shall grant a certificate under seal to creditor' which shall have the effect of a judgment of one of the superior courts, and the holders of such cert ficats may issue executions against the bankrupt, notwithstanding they have proved their debts, which executions are to remain in force until the allowance of the certificate and confermity. Atrazding to the 250th section, a bankrupt taken In execu tion after the refusal of protection, or atter the refusal or suspension of his certificate, shall not be discharged Mont such executions " until he shall have been in prison for the full period of one year, except by order of the court." This last-mentioned enactment is not to take effect until after the expiration of six months from the commencement of the act on the 11th Ocnber, and • hen only against persons adj idged bankrupt under the new act, and for offences committed after the commencement of the same. OCEAN PENNY POSTAOE.—When Rowland Hill first broached his idea of a penny-postage system the sages shook their heads doubtfully. Poetmuters and post mistresses ell protested against it—revenue officers looked aghast—ministers po poohed it. The thing was laughed at, written down, talked down ; but it was a true thing— and it made is way. The public became converts after Lids investigation—and would have it tried. And so triumphed—and has become a great sad successful " fact. As usual, the fact thus fixed has given birth to a new ides-- in its turn, sooner or later, to become a realised and tangil Ming. A letter travels now from the Isle of Skye Germany for a penny t why not from London Paris or P. kin )—asks an enthusiastic American. see no difficulty in the way which did not pre mut itself to the mind on the first thought of Row land Ell's plan. But our countrymen are again, for the present, incredulous. They admit that e ocean penny postage would be a grand achievement, and worthy a great naval power like ours or like the Unit States. But the idea of canting a I from Manchester Mexico, or from Calcutta to California, for a penny seems Ia extravagant for Mu it immediate entertainment. A thong ii will come o'er the spirit of their dream." The matter in progrors of being taken up by practical men. The follow ing letter is sigelficant of the change that Is about to happen: "Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures, Manchester, August 30. My dear siz,—The important question of at oeesa penny poems has received my consideration, and have arrived at the conclusion that to establish it is practi cable, and would be exceedingly beneficial to the people every country. As far as I have been able to ascertain the opinions of the directors of this chamber upon this great question, they are decidedly favourable to the establishment of so powerful an auxiliary of communication and civilisa tion as they believe the ocean penny postage would become. Having witnessed the advantages, moral, commercial, and iiseed, of our inlie.d penny postage, I have the greater confidence in anticipating results not lees favourable, be more iaolverssl, from an ocean penny postage system, and shall be happy in promoting its establishment se far as I m pwaess power and ability.
