The whole impression of this new and popular Weekly Journal being now stamped, subscribers may receive and transmit it to their friends, Postage Free, throughout all parts of the kingdom. The Proprietors of the COURT JOURNAL, with due acknowledgments for the highly gratifying reception their Work has already met with, beg leave to point out to readers in general the advantages of their publication in its present improved form. The occupations, engagements, and amusements of the higher classes of society had long required a record; they found it in the Court Journal. The fete champetre, the sumptuous banquet, the concert, the soiree, the ball, the public and private habits of royal and noble life, those habits which give the tone to manners throughout the em pire, were depicted with a freshness and accuracy hitherto unattempted ; and, in all instances, with the most attentive avoidance of injury to personal feelings. It may he easily imagined that those details could not have been supplied from ordinary sources,—thus the connexions of the Pro prietors afforded them peculiar opportunities, and many of the articles of the Court Journal were contributed by in dividuals, whose rank and fashion gave even a pledge at once for the good taste and the truth of their descriptions. But something more was still required to realize the original idea of the publication. It was hitherto the Jour nal of an elevated but exclusive class; the purpose was to render it available to all classes, retaining its anecdote, pleasantry, and spirit of high life, to make it the vehicle of intelligence of every interesting kind ; the companion not only of the boudoir but of the breakfast table and the study,—a Journal in which not merely the woman of fashion might find the round of her engagements for the week brought gracefully before her eye ; but the politician, the, student, and the various orders of intelligent society might find the species of information suited to their pur poses ; to make the Court Journal, a WEEKLY NEWS PAPER of the most improved and valuable nature. For this object a Stamp was necessary, and the Pro prietors di 1 not hesitate to subject themselves to the serious additional expense, that they might give the public their Paper in its complete state, feeling confident that the claitns of the work to great popularity and extensive circulation would be duly estimated by the public at large. The COURT JOURNAL is regularly published every SATURDAY MORNING on a handsome ' sheet of 16 quarto pages, containing 48 columns, price 10d., and may consequently be received on Sunday in all parts of the country. Published for Henry Colburn, by W. Thomas, at the Office, 19, Catherine -street, Strand. Orders are received by all Booksellers and Newsvenders throughout the King dom ; and those who desire to become subscribers are par•- ticularly requested to give their orders to the Bookseller or Newsman in their own immediate neighbourhood, as the best mode of receiving it regularly. N.B. Advertisements or orders sent from the country to the Office must be 4ccornpatlied by a reference for pay ment in I.o4dvq? SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE. (FROM LLOYD'S BOOKS OF JULY 16.)

BENTHAMITES. (From the Caledonian Mercury.) The whole theory of Bentham and his followers hinges upon a transposition. What preceding philo sophers have considered as a consequence merely, he has chosen to denominate a cause. Utility, accord ing to him, is the basis or the essence of all that is good in morals or in politics; in other words, nothing can be good except what is useful; the latter is in every case, the measure of the former, and that which alone entitles it to its character and denomination. Other philosophers, however, have thought diffe rently. According to them, there is no necessary connexion between the honcstum and the utile; they conceive of many things as good which are not ne cessarily useful ; but they cannot conceive of any thing as really useful, without being in its own nature, and independently altogether of this accessory and conse quent utility, essentially good. All that Bentham has done, therefore, is to introduce a mere metathesis—to put the cart as it were before the horse. Throwing every abstract consideration out of view, he has attempted to establish what he considers a practical rule, to which every possible case must bend. He has taken the principle of political economy, applicable chiefly to material products, and extended it to mind and every thing else besides. And in order to render his rule determinate, he has referred to a test the most indeterminate which it is possible for the wit of man to devise. " The greatest happiness of the greatest number" sounds well, notwithstanding the pleonasm it involves; but we defy Bentham, Mill, and all the rest of them, to produce two men, be yond the narrow circle of their own neophites and disciples, who are agreed as to what constitutes " the greatest happiness," or who are able fo at tach any definite meaning to these terms. The gene ral terms of the Nominalists are not a whit more puzzling or more purely imaginative ; and yet we are told that this is the discovery which is to go down to posterity hand in hand with that of gravitation, and to astonish after times by its magnificent and comprehen sive simplicity ! We do not deny that, within certain limits strictly defined, the doctrine of utility is not only admissible but true. In politics, for example, and in all those sciences which have respect to the condition of man in society, and to his external and temporal well-being, it is the only standard to which we can have recourse, because, in these cases, it assumes a determinate form. Applied to morals and to metaphysics, it is a mere phantom, which may well serve to bewilder, but can never serve as a guide , : and, with reference to the former espe cially, if it have any meaning at all, it just amounts to a reproduction in a fresh disguise of the old, odious, and exploded principle of pure selfishness, so ingeniously expounded by Mandeville in the J!ablc of the Bees, and so earnestly disclaimed by all those who have since treated of theory of morals and the true principle of moral obligation.

This wonderful scene I visited in the evening of the 19th of March, 1827, and for a couple of , lays afterwards. I have brought to England specimens of the rocky ledge over which the great river descends : it is a crumbling blue lime stone. After severe frosts it is ever detaching itself from the mass which flanks the falls, and somewhat endangers the clambering beneath the projecting brow in the thawing season. A plumb-bob, let down from the limestone shelf at the edge of the surface waters of the falls to the rubbish of crumbled limestone below, was 111 feet ; and from whence to the still water below the cauldron the difference of level is thirty-eight feet ; which makes in all 149 feet ; and if the In verted curve of the cauldron, and convexity of the descending cascade, with the variations created by floods, be taken into account, I should suspect that the great falls of Niagara, at a me dium, are the above-mentioned number of feet, although my friends the Americans will have it fiveleet less. The weather was bitterly cold ; iny fingers would not do. their duty to work my instruments, or I should have settled this dispute to half an inch. Poets see these falls with diffe rent eyes from other people ; mathematics must be looked to in giving their real dimensions. I went full fifty yards beneath the falls, between the waters and the limestone ledges over which they roll. These enormous falls are evidently working up stream, as the banks of the river be neath them have every appearance to prove that they have been acted upon, in times gone by, in the same way as those at present are which are influenced by the cataract. It also seems clear to me that, if they do thus back up stream, they must increase in height, as the present rapids be tween them and Lake Erie make up a height of near 63 feet ; consequently, when the fall begins to affect the smooth bosom of the lake, they will then be 212 feet in height—a circumstance not likely to take place for 3,000 years to come ; and when this comes to pass the falls will begin, of course, to decrease in height, Lake Erie to shallow, and the rapids of St. Clair to increase in velocity. In course of time, then, Lake Erie will become annihilated, resolving itself into a part of the river Niagara ; while the great falls will probably change their ancient name to that of St. Clair. From this train of reasoning, then, we may infer that, if the world holds out to a great age, beyond the reach of numeration, the falls will ultimately ar rive at St. Mary's, so that science may prophesy that the wonderful lakes of Canada may dwindle into the channel of a river, and the roaring of the huge waterfall be heard no more. The Americans make a great boast of having pro posed the daring plan of tapping lake Erie, as they say, to feed their great canal ; but, if the time arrives when the falls of Niagara shall work back in their.horse-shoe mode so as to affect the level of the lake, the water in their canal will likewise become affected, and as the lake keeps sinking they must keep reconstructing, until they find themselves baffled to tap lake Erie. Their engineers then will not think of changing the course of the St. Lawrence—a thought which they indulged in until they lately found it would return to lake Ontario by the vale, I suspect, of the Tanawanta ; they may, however, continue to tap the Michigan, and even lake Superior, if they have a mind. The reason why all water falls grind down their channels in a horse-shoe form seems quite obvious ; in the middle of all rapidly-running rivers, generally speaking, the water is deepest ; consequently, when it has to roll with fury over a perpendicular ledge of rock, the edges of that ledge will be ground away in proportion to the mass of waters that are thun dering over it, and, there being more at the middle than there is towards the sides, the ledge of lock in the middle, grinds faster than the rest, and so the horse-shoe figure is formed. With re spect to the noise of the falls of Niagara I have said somewhere that it is not deafen ing, nor is it disagreeable ; yet, however diffi cult to explain, it is not a dashing roar, like that which a stormy ocean emits by its surges on a rocky shore ; nor is it all of a thun dery nature, as when electric clouds battle over head in the sky. Could I compile it to any thing but itself that I have ever heard I would say that if a quantity of large round stones, of from two to four tons each, were tumbled from a huge precipice into waters of profound depth, and this hurling trade continued for a time, we should hear something like the awful and hollow plunging voice of the falls. According to the state of the atmosphere so is their noise carried. When the weather has been frosty for a time, and a thaw about to ensue, the sound then ex tends to the greatest distance ; which sound, have been told, has been heard at York, the capi tal of Upper Canada, which must be upwards of 1 fifty miles from the falls in A straight line; and, what is a little curious, when the sound is at its loudest, it is heard to the greatest advantage (that is to say, on its highest key) about twelve or fifteen miles from the falls. In soft thawing weather the sound is hardly heard at the visiting hotel, situate on the rising ground beside them. It is quite confined to, the dreadful gulf in which it is engendered. In frosty weather, too, the smoke-spray rises from them in the greatest clouds, and hence may be seen at the farthest dis tance off, As to their paver of suction in dragging birds of the air into floc vortex it is not a very correct opinion. I think a healthy bird might fly across the falls with the greatest safety, even within a few inches of the surfßeq; hut woe l e y ca 4 u y g ra ht o h re y . the il r er t e ara is ct a ; s t t l o ie r y y t a t t v o ol e m i n y e i r r they eer certainly i ld w th h is o . ca T m i e le ot d re a r ng t e h t e falls n d o ojcl not sci d u o a l tl not seem to arise front the percussi i on of the waters,ad spume th rn being the lo ng beneath frothg beneath the triter by the force of the current.— There were eight rAftsmen once came over the falls of Chaudiere, Ottawa river, which are about thirty feet high.

Athena-uni, A coroner (in Latin coronator a corona), so called because he acts wholly for the King as chief magistrate of the common-wealth, is an ancient officer of the realm, of whom mention is made so early as the year 925, in the charter of King Athelston of Beverley. It was requi site, formerly, that a coroner should be the wisest and discretest knight that best would and might perform the prescribed duties ; and there is a writ in existence, whence it appears to have been good cause for removing a coroner chosen, that he was not a knight, and had not a hundred shillings rent of freehold. He is required by law to be a man of good ability, with lands in fee, of the county where chosen, to answer all people, and if insufficient the county to answer for him. He is chosen of the freeholders by writ, and, from the nature of his office, this right of choice, though little esteemed in the present day, is of the highest importance. There are commonly four coroners in each county. The Ace of coroner is for life, and his duties are ministerial and judicial. Ministerially he executes the King's writs, when the sheriff is excepted to, or party to a suit ; and when the shrievalty is vacant, writs arc directed to the coroner. Judicially he takes inquisition by 12. men or more which next pass by, on persons slain or suddenly dying; or by his warrant to the con stables to summon a like jury ofthe neighbourhood. He issues his warrant for witnesses, takes their exa minations in writing upon oath, and if a majority. of his inquest men sign an inquisition declaring a certain person guilty of the death, he commits the offender to prison if present, or issues a warrant for his apprehension, and binds the wit nesses by recognizance to appear at the next, assizes. He enrols and returns the inquisition with the verdict of murder, or manslaughter, or as it may be, to the Justices of the next gaol de-' livery ; or certifies it into the Court of King's Bench, and thereon the criminals are put upon' their trial. If witnesses die before trial, their . depositions before the coroner are to be received' as evidence. He has no authority to take an,' inquisition without a view of the body. If it be buried so long that nothing can be discovered. from the view, the inquiry must be by justices of the peace on testimony of witnesses ; and none can take an inquisition on view but the coroner.' Hence if a body be drowned and not found, the. justices, and not coroners, are to inquire. A coroner must take inquisitions himself, and not by deputy ; an inquisition, by deputy is void. The coroner and his inquest constitute an open Court, wherein proclamation is made for all persons present, having knowledge of the death, to come forth and give evidence. Sir Thomas Smith says, that the empanelling of the coroner's inquest, the view of the body, and the giving of the verdict, is commonly in the street in an open place. Of so high authority is this institution, that on suspicion of an improper verdict by a jury, the coroner may raise the body, and inquire by his inquest touching the death of the de ceased. The taking of an inquisition in a close room is a violation of the common law. It is also a coroner's duty to hold inquests concerning treasure hidden under ground. By a statute, in the reign of Edward 111., coroners were not to demand or take any thing for doing their office, which only confirmed the ancient law of England, whereby any one concerned in the administration of justice is restrained from taking any fee or reward for its execution. But by an act of Henry VII., reciting that the office of coroner had grown into disuse, whereby man slaying and. murder had increased, the coroner was awarded 13s. 4d. upon every inquisition, and fined 51, for default of making inquisition and certifying. An act of George 11. allows the coroner 20s. for every inquisition over and above the 13s. 4d. and 9d. for every mile that he shall be obliged to travel. The coroner's in quest is familiarly termed " sitting on the body ;" and so Shakspeare has it in Twelfth Night, on occasion of Sir Toby's drunkenness : " Olivia.—What's a drunken man like, fool Clown.—Like a drowned man, a fool, and a madman : one draught above heat makes him a fool, the second mads him, and a third drowns him. " Olivia.—Go thou and seek the coroner, and let hin: sit o' my cox; for he's in the third degree of drink—he's drown'd." — And so in Hamlet, the Clowns tllat dig Ophelia's grave discourse thus :—, 2d Clown.—The crotuner hath sat on her, and finds it Christian burial." After a rustical roundelay of reasoning upon the finding, comes a legal conclusion : " 2d Clown—But is this law ? Ist Clown—Ay marry, is't ; crcwner's quest law." To the present day the Coroner is popular among the vulgar as t o th e " crowner ." ___, Tlie Lord Chief Justice of England is the sovereign coroner of the whole realm, in person, wheresoever he abides. The coroner of the Verge, sometimes called coroner of the King's house, or household, has exclusive jurisdiction within the verge of the Court. By a statute, 33 Henry VIII., every inquisition on persons slain in any of the King's palaces or houses, or any other house wherein his Majesty shall be abiding, is directed to be taken by the coroner of the King's household, by the oaths of 12 or more of the yeomen-officers of the household. But on the Ist June, 1810, an inquisition was taken by Samuel Thomas Adams, Esq., coroner of the King's household, on view of the body of Joseph Sellis, at th. e apartments of the Duke of Cumberland, :ii th e Kitchen -court, St. James, and none of the jury summoned were officers of the household, but housekeepers of the vicinage, 18 being resident at Charing-cross, and one in St. Martin's-lane. Ther Q are likewise coroners belonging to par tiettlar corporations and colleges, appointed to act within their precincts, by licence of their re spective charters. The Coroner of the City of London is the Lord Mayox for the time being, or hi deputy. He takes inquisition of death, as other Coroners, and also concerning found tr; . ,asure, deodands, And wrecks at sea. The deputy's gratuity for performing the duties Qi City Coroner appears to be, according to the pleasure of the Court of Common Conn,cil, In March, 1751, the court, consideNd. the petition of John King, E sq ., coroner of the c ity, an d reso l ve d to allow him 1004, in full cons id era ti on f o r his several in quests in the c ity gao l s , and 13s. 4d, f or every future one, tho Mirronr of Justices, a law book of great antiquity, edited and largely added to by Andrew Horne, an ancient Chamberlain of Lon don, coroners are spoken of under the reign of Alfred ; hut th ere i s groun d f or presum i ng that they existed even earlier. The coroner is pecu liar to England, for there is no trace of such' an officer in the jurisprudence of any other country.
