Mr: Aspinall, the barrister, was addressing the Bir kentread,megistratea against their expressed determina tion to deal with the case summarily. The Bench, how ever adhered to their resolution, and the Learned Gentleman then entered upon the defence of the accused. H e eniumented in very severe terms on what he termed the bru , al And tyrannical conduct of the captain, and staked his character as a lawyer on the assertion that oven if the men had been guilty of the grossest mutiny, and the captain, after be had once escaped from the crew, the mutiny being over, had shot any one, he would most unquestionably have been guilty of murder. Having again urged that the charge should be sent to the As ilzes, and determined under the superintendence of one of the judges, Mr. Aspicall called Thomas Murray, a witness whom Mr. Snowball had declined to examine, who attributed the blame to the captain. - William York, a seaman on board the vessel, thus de scribed the affray :—I joined Mae Queen of the West 011 Saturday morning last, and after the ship had been brought to , an anchor the capt a in came on b oar d an d asked how - many men were mustered. The shipping master said twenty, and was then ordered to go ashore and bring him six more. Freeman then observed to the crew he thought there were to be thirty men, and be should like to see them on board before they set to; ad ding, " Now is the time to speak about it, while the ship is in port, and not when the ship has gone to sea." Several of the crew replied, "Yes, now is the time." After some further remarks the crew went forward to the forecastle and the captain followed them. The mate gave some orders to Freeman, who said he should like to have some breakfast before he turned to, on which the captain went up to him, seized him' by the throat, threw him on the deck, and kicked him when down. The crew pulled the captain, who appeared to be a bit frightened, away, and he then took up a belaying pin, struck at the men on all sided; at the same time calling them names. The mates then came and assisted the captain, using handspikes. The captain was got down ,gain by the crew, and begged a second time to be let up. He was let up and went aft, none of the crew following him abaft die foremast. He then returned with a revolving pistol,•collared Freeman, and ordered him aft, but he would not go. pointing the pistol to his head• all the time. The , rest' of the crew were standing round all the time to protect Freeman, and made a rush at the captain, seeing the dangerous weapon in his hand. The captain pulled the trigger, the cock went down, and the men took the pistol and threw it over board. I heard the report of a pistol, however, before it was wrested from the captain. The chief mate then gave the captain a cutlass and bad another himself, and they at once cut about among the crew, part of whom made nearly One severed man his was aftertyen cutg their escape into the s t eam-tu g , and the others ranaway. away h by the gangway, when the chief m and mate kicked him , and ill-used him until he fainted.

THE Lowe mew ! - J ENGLAND.. r • "My Lord,-In--the charge which' innr lordship lately delivered to the grand jury arAylestntry (of which, to strengthen 'Ely memory, I use the Times' report), your Lordship adverted to a eirennistance which you said had. caused' ' some surprise. not D oi ft little uneasi ness.' Thevirciumstatee stated by your. Lordship was that I, being the high sheriff of the uouaty,and a Roman Catholic, had appointed a chaplain of gtly own religion, and that this chaplain had appeared ' isiethe garb of his order' in accompanying the high sheriff andi her Ma jesey's judges from the place where; the 'sheriff meets them, to the court. Of'my conduct in this respect your Lordship said that you did not approve, and that you thought it your duty to say that sots hoped such an oc currence would not be repeated. Your Lordship's charge has now been before the Public for a week, and on some accounts .I could with that I had addressed your Lordship .on this subject at an earlier period, for a portion of the press has already dealt with the case in a manner to create prejudice against my conduct, and to give additional currency to the opinions which your Lordship expressed in your charge; but considering the disparity between your Lordship and myself in respect of authority and of learning, and bein g aware that the part taken by your Lordship was, ,under any airnum. stances, likely to meet with some .aeizin IA of popular a e yen2ollYe Jinn 'satis fi ed Iliatttav t ,, the entitle r eihich is at once most respectful to Your Lordship, and most likely in the end to influence candid minds, by taking time for reflection and inquiry bef ore I s h ou ld against those of theChief' Jus tice venture my opinious , if England. "To that unequal cont est I trust, however, now ad dress myself, and in doing so .Bu% at the outset, to assure your Lordship of my grat itude fo r the personal courtesy w i th which I was trea te d in Your Lordship's charge, and to venture the express i on o f it„..,y hope that, as feelings of kindness to myself did not hiuder your i ee Me Lordship from dischargin g; what you dd, fe your duty blaming in publicly m y conduct, so trio public defence be thou of that conduct by me w ill not ght by your Lordship to derogate from t hose f eelings of r es p ect on my part which are due both t o y o ur person and your office. " The circumstances which occurred were these "On my appointment by office the Crown to the of high sheri ff , an appointmen but which which, as yo ur Lo r d s hip well knows, I could not decline, sired, I proceede d , with in accordance the established sheriffs, to appoint a chaplain, and custom of all high Ipursued the only being a Roman Catholic, the chaplain y course which, upon the supposition t hato.. the 8. .r. _ iappointed by the sheriff is the chaplai n fri iff Could in conscience pursue, by appointing a Roman Catholic chaplain. that " I think it right te sta te the gentle man whom I neighbourhood selected resides in the immediate tholic church at Mort' my own hcuie, officiates in the Ca and is in allMar low and also in my domestic chapel, that I should p re s p ects - the person whom it is most natural ;zes, accompanied b P ; lu y t. " On the opening of the as Crompton, who arrived the m chaplain, I met Mr. Justice e gard to the dress of y day before your Lordship. In been e made, I wish to : Il i chaplain, to which allu,ion has religious order (fur, apart it was not the habit of a ny he is not a member o f any apart from any reasons, full dress worn by the such order), but the usual fu Ro man Catholic clergy on occhsihes unconnected with re ligious cer emon i als . I receiv ed his Lordship at th e station, thence c o nveyed him CO court, thence to the Pro testant church, and thence again, af ter the service w as concluded, t o the judges' 10dgIng5. Mr. Justice Cromp ton,' h therefo re , vyas repeatedly in contest w it h my C hap- lain bef o r e your L o rdship's arriv al, and as: I was most anxious not to give off e nce in any quarter, towards lad to arter, I was Judge find, in th e d emeanour of that Learned myself and m y c h ap l a i n , the assuran ce that to his Lord ship at least none had been given. arrived, d" On the following day your Lords hip an ac companied by my chaplain I received . your Lordship at the railway station, and conveyed y ou in my carriage to the d • it be came obvious judges ' lodgings. In the course o f rive obvious that your Lordship was disp lea sed,and almost d immediately after your Lordship's arr iva l atthelog ings I was summoned to a room, in whic h I f oun d , be sides yourself, Mr. Justice Crouseton and the two mar shals of your Lordship. "Your Lordship then requested to speak with me, and, as a preliminary s t e p, d es ired that my c haplain, who was with me, but whom your Lordship appeared purposely to abstain trom recognising as my chaplain, Lord should withdraw. This having been done, your d having. ttelde , ship, expeesead lour diaßle eat n o si ts4eis . having your .LORihip hIV . =We' lain, a proceeding which your Lordship sie • med to con sider an innovation; to which I replied, that I had therein followed the example of other Roman Catholic sheriffs since the Relief Act, who had pursued a similar course without rebuke; and your Lordship subse quently desired to know the names of the judges who had been on circuit when these instances occurred, and declared your opinion that there must have been an oversight on the part of those learned persons; and even if it were not so, though from curiosity your Lordship would be glad to know who they were,. yet your Lord ship's opinion would not be affected thereby. To satisfy this portion of your Lordship's wishes I append the names of some judges whom I know to have acquiesced, under similar circumstances, in the presence of a Roman Catholic chaplain. " I may here observe that, as the surprise and uneasi ness which, from your Lordship's subsequent charge, it would appear were caused .by my conduct, had not been manifested by either Mr. Justice Crompton or by any one else to my knowledge before the arrival of your Lordship, I was not prepared for the rebuke to which I was subjected; still less, alter that rebuke had been pri vately given, was I prepared foi- the repetition of it in open court. That, when embodied in the charge of a Chief Justice, it should have led the grand jury, as I have the best reasons for knowing that it did, to sup pose that I had been guilty of a violent and wilful in novation, is neither to be wondered at nor to be made a just matter of complaint against that body. a I now proceed to the reasons upon which your Lordship's public rebuke was grounded. "They. wore thus expressed—, The sheriff a ppoints a chaplain, who is to appear as chaplain of the judges, and who is expected to take his seat in the same carriage as the judges, and to sit beside the judges in the court. That chaplain, therefore, becomes the chaplain of the judges, and the Protestaht reli g i on is the relig i on o f t h e judges of this country,' . " There are here, then, two propositions. 01. That the chaplain appointed by the sheriff be comes the chaplain of the jud ges. "2. That the Protestant religion, by which your Lord ship plainly meant the religion of the Established Church, is the religion of the judges of this country. e Having made inquiry upon these points, I am now induced, not on my own account nnly or of my religion, efi 0 but on account also of the high ' • c 0 which I have the honour to fill, and the privileg es of which it is my duty to maintain, and on account of ell those who, being of a different religion from that of the Established Church, whether Roman Catholics or Protestants, may, according to the constitution of this coutu r e , be appointed to the office of sheriff, to submit! e to Your Lordship the reasons for which I must decline to acquiesce in your opinion. " And first, as to the claita;meee by your Lordship, that the chaplain appointed by the sheriff becomes the chaplain of the judges. " The office of sheriff, to which appointment is made directly by the Crown, has attached t o m it a variety of important duties, amongst which, with great respect be it said, the duty of personal attendance on the judges of assize, important though it be, is not the most important. "Upon his appointment to the office it has been cus tomary for the sheriff, as a part of the proper state ap pertaining to his position, to select a clergyman who shall officiate as his chaplain. "In the selection of this clergyman I never heard that the judges were consulted. He is not appointed spe cially for the assizes, but', for the whole period of office of the sheriff. I never heard him called, judges except by your Lordship, the chaplain of the or the chaplain of any one but the sheriff. Hi s apL pointment, as far as I can learn, is not even obli gatory on the sheriff, which, if the jihig e , had an in terest in it, I presume it would be. With th e single ex ception of preaching before the judge, a custom which in itself implies no official relation whatever between the preacher and his audience, and which moreover can only be practised by consent of the incumbent of the church in which the sermon, is delivered, there is no function either by custom or right performed by the sheriff's chaplain which affords the slightest reason for supposing that he has any official connexion whatever with the judges. On the contrary, it is only through the sheriff that his chapl ain i s know n to' the judges; aud it is only when the sheriff is At ti e s that h e appears by o ffi cial right before them. odpublic dinners not attend given by the judges he d oes the sheriff does by ac cidental invitation, becaus e the sheri ff he public dinners given byalways attends in his official capacity. dais claim of " I cannot, then, regard ncroachmentYuour Lordship otherwise than as a direct i encroachment encroachment, pri vileges of the office w h ic h lss warrantable because let me add, which is the e, . wee of he jud , se the law anizes the ex's . ges earschap expressy ranee ~ . ri ate class from h ose of the sherifrs lains _____. c. 13, the chaplain of the .

It i s thus plainly 1 them on th ' judges above ment i one d to take w ith eir circuits if for any cause th ey have chaplains of their own; an d thou g ht fi t to d iscon tinue their a ppoint ment, this can endeavouring hardly a ff or d a reason able pretext for end ing to and independent officers o f other officers of the Crown.

" Your Lordship's second proposition is of a graver nature, and carries us from points of privilege cad eti quette into questions which affect the first principles of that religious freedom for which this country claims to be distinguished. Your Lordship says that the religion of the Church of England is the religion of the judges; the Constitution says that Roman Catholics and Protes tant Dissenters of all classes may be judges. " Hder are these conflicting propositions to be recon ciled ? How is it that men who honestly dissent from the Church of England can be lawfully invited to the bench, and yet when on the bench be required to con form to that Church ? Are there two consciences for judges—one to be saved or lost by, and another to go circuit with? If this be not so, by what subtlevcontriv ance of law is it that the same conscience is to be at once relieved and oppressed, declared to be free—aye, and great credit taken for the declaration—and at the same time made subject to a dominant establishment ? "My Lord, these questions necessarily arise out of your Lordship's charge to the grand jury. They are inseparably_ connected with one of the positions on which your Lordship's reprehension of my conduct, rested. I venture, therefore, respectfully to ask an answer to them, and I do so the more earnestly because the office which I fill, being itself a judicial as well as a ministe rial one, I find it difficult to distinguish between the re ligious obligations of the judges of assize and those which affect myself as the sheriff of a county. My Lord, there is another portion of your Lord ship's charge which it would be unseemly in me to pass over. It is that in which your Lordship repelled the imputation of any illiberal motive, and declared that you had alivays most strenuously supported the Roman Catholics in their claims for freedom of opinion, in order that they should be admitted to all the privileges of all others of her 'Majesty's subjects;' in, which your Lord ship, from your own experience, spoke with esteem of the personal quaiities of, the present head of the Catholic Church; and in which you expressed your respect for the feelings of . Roman Catholics, and for the sacred order of their clergy. My Lord, for these exertions of your Lordship thus referred to, and for the . generous sentiments thus avowed, my best thanks are due; but in tendering them I cannot divest myself of the melancholy feeling, that if, in the judgment of a man so liberal as your Lordship,- a claim to equal privileges, trifling as that which I have made, does not appear warranted by the spirit of the Roman Catholic Relief Act, we need not be surprised if, in other quar ters, the influence of this healing measure should be still more limited, and, in some, deprived of almost everything which can render it acceptable to generous and educated minds. In conclusion, my Lord, I can for myself most sin cerely say that in acting as I did I sought no triumph for myself or fur my religion. My first desire was so to act as not to compromise either my own conscience or the rights of the office entrusted to me. My next was to avoid giving offence either to the judges or to my neigh bours. By following the precedents of other Roman Ca tholic sheriffs, I had hoped to secure, and till your Lord ships arrived I flattered myself that I had secured, these different objects. Of the failure which tken occurred I have in this letter given the history, and considered the reasons, and as your Lordship's charge is before the pub lic, I think it due to myself that my vindication should have the same advantage.

DIRECT LONDON AND MANCHESTER (RE MINGTON'S LINE). Yesterday the official manager (Mr. Turquand) and his solicitors (Messrs. Hardwick), with several other parties, attended before Master Senior, when the further settlement of the list of contributories and the considera tion of claims against the company were proceeded with. On the part of the official manager, Mr. Marshall contended that the name of Mr. George Remington, the engineer —after whom the line is called—should be in cluded in the list, on the ground that that gentleman had signed the deed in respeet of 500 shares representing 25,0004 Messrs. Phillips and Sons, who appeared for Mr. Re mington, did not deny the signature of their client to the deed, but said that the number of shares (500), and the amount of subscription (25,0000 had been filled in since he had signed the subscribers' agreement; that he bad not authorised or consented to the insertion of these figures, and that, consequently, Hr. Remington could ❑ot be bound by a deed which had been altered since the execution of it. Mr. Remington was sworn, and upon examination proved the facts stated by his advocate. He said also that though he could not now remember the number of shares ho intended to take (if any), yet that he bad cer tainly never intended to take as many'as 500. A witness was called (on the part of the official manager), who stated that he believed the figures had bee❑ filled in at the time Mr. Remington executed the deed; bat on cross-examination the witness admitted that the figures representing the number of shar?s, and the amount of subscription, might not have been inserted at the time alluded to. Mr. MARSHALL asked for time to produce the clerk who had nc - wally written these figures; but The MASTER observed that he would now expunge the came of Mr. Remington flom the list, end if the official manager thought ho had sufficient evidence, he might, within a reasonable time, apply to review the case. Mr. PHILLIPS then applied to have a claim, amounting to 6,3001., in respect of engineering services rendered by Mr. Remington, allowed as a debt. The claimant was examined to prove the fairness of the various charges made by him in his bill. It was stated that Mr. gemington had been unable to bring an Winn against any of the members of the company to recover his demand, by reason of his having entered into an agreement with the directors and shareholders not to look to them personally for the amount of his bill, but only " to the funds of the company." The MASTER said it appeared that Mr. Remington could not legally sustain his claim. In this mane " company" had ever been formed, and he must refase to allow the demand as a debt. In reference to the bill of costs of the solicitor, Mr. Lacy, the Master, said he was satisfied regarding the retainer of that gentleman, and - ho - wottld etsw direct the bill to - beireerr ofte taxing- master, with directions to tax it as between party and party. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF TFIIS DAY. TIMES.—The Derby Administration has made its debit on the hustings with all the success that was to be expected from the judicious selection of those who were to go through this ordeal. The actual elections, indeed, are far from over, for Mr. Henley's election comes on to day, Mr. Disraeli's on Friday, Mr. Christopher's on Saturday, besides others of less note; but so far there has been no contest, and, what is more important, there has been scarcely any serious blunder in the election addresses. The new Ministers have taken their cue from Lord Derby's speech, reiterating their old opinions, or at least referring to them, but referring not ),ass to the peculiar circumstances of the new Government, and asking for wider and more discretionary powers than have hitherto been conceded by the " farmer" to his Parliamentary "friend." There has, perhaps, been a significent difference between some of these election addresses. For example, to-day Mr. Benkes is cautious enough. As chairman of the Dorsetshire sessions he had every reason to defend the predominance of his order in the now Government, and he has turned Mr. Coppook to very good account. But his speech is more humorous than explicit, and better adapted to enlighten his constituents as to the organiza tion ef parties than as to the particular policy of his own. On the other hand, Mr. Beresford has addressed to the farmers of North Essex and the populace of Braintree a reproduction of one of his Drury-lane speeches, proving that a five-shilling duty will be so much gain to the Treasury and the farmer, at the ex panse of nobody else in this country. As Mr. Beres toed is not in the new Cabinet, and his arguments will pees for no more than they are worth, it is unnecessary to sift them at this particular juncture. Much the same may be said of the financial illu , tretions adopted by Mr. A. Duncombe, the re-elected Member for the East Riding, who, however, very wisely, defers till the ap proaching general election the delicate subject of pledges. But, now that this first scene of tho new play is so nearly over, everybody is beginning to ask what everybody else is likely to do. What will Lord Derby say on Friday night? Will he lay down anything in the shape of a policy? Will he tell us what sort of ap peal he will make to the country? On the other hand, what policy will Lord John Russell unfold to his adhe rents at Chesham-place to-morrow? Will he put it to their allegiance to turn cut at once, by fair means or by foul, the only other possible Minister but himself, in order to bring back the old men and the old measures— the old internal weakness and external difficulties? Again, what will the people out of doors do? Will the Liberals rally to the rescue of Lord John? Will the agriculturists swear their Members to a five-shilling duty, as the minimum of their torvice? These ques tions are not only asked; they are being rapidly an. swered. In times of great }lewd and excitement nothing is thought so safe as precipitation ; no thing so dangerous as forbearance. The Peace of .Amiens was not more difficult to be observed then the present tottering armistice of parties; the retention of Malta was not more intolerable to the enemy th an t h e Conservative occupation of Downing-street. The sight gate;les t a. shall not Fridayld we week may ch of a rival in office is n a em bs ei o nr l d u te te he l ea y i Liantotrotdhleserable.

It is of no use to send a man to the [louse with his hands tied. The experiment has been tried a hundred times, and there always have be e n found, and always will be found, men who will submit to that operation, but the result is invariably the same. The farmers might as well mark their representatives at one., as they do their horses and their sheep, as write pledges on their faces and backs. Tho conduct of the Manchester school, and of writers from whom better might be expected, should open the eyes of the farmer on this point. What are Messrs. Cobden and Co. and tele contemporaries we refer to doing at this moment? They are exhausting all the arts of ingenuity and language to provoke the 'Jon servative party into a fatal obstinacy. The very writers who for the last two years have proclaimed that Lord Derby had given up protection, and have daily or weekly amused themselves with stories of Protectionist detales tion and despair, now turn sharp round sal insist that nothing has been given up, an d that every man of the party is as pledged as ever he was. Oue of our contain- I+ JUSTICE OF RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. RAILWAY ECONOMY —PERMANENT WAY. We yesterday availed ourselves of an opportunity that p uattent i on Counties line—an some twoalteration o r t h exceedingly ree year s simple, since. was afforded to us of witnes s in g th e process o f t h e altera tion now taking place in the ent i re permanent way o f th e Eastern blio and to the convenience and econo m y o f w hi c h we di rected The great inconvenience and e x p ense o f t h e " cross sleiper" road have hitherto been found t o ar i se fr om t h e "joint chairs"—viz., the chairs into which the ends of the rails are fitted and secured—getting out of order. The bolts or pins are continually becoming loose; the ends of the rails get what is termed " play," upon the chairs, and are not unfrequently harnmered, by the wheels of the engines and carriages, into the " bearings" of the chairs to the depth of a quarter of an inch, or more. It is to this looseness of the ends of the rails in the joint-chair and the hammering away of the bed, or bearing, of the chair itself, that the incessant clattering of the wheels of the train, so disagreeable to the passen ger. is to be attributed. But the serious; evil of the com mon joint-chair is its liability to fracture), and the coese• quent "tipping" of the end of the rail, or the throwing the engine and the train off the metals; and we believe that it would not be difficult to point out many serious accidents that have been occasioned by broken or defec tive joint-chairs. The alteration of the permanent way of the Eastern Counties line is confined to an improvement of securing the ends of the rails, and getting rid altogether of the joint-chair. We pointed out the improvement longer than two years since, but certain " practical" men thought very lightly of it, and our ;opinion of its value had little attention paid to it. We are glad to learn that the " practical" men are beginning to acknowledge the value of the improvement, which,"irideed, will in all probability be carried out upon most of the railways of the country. The improvement, as we have stated, is very simple The end of each rail has two holes punched through it, and between the double T of the rail a piece of iron, 18 inches in length, is fitted on either side. Screw b olts are then passed through the " fish" pier es and the rail, and the rails at the joints are in this wait made stronger than in any other part. So that in tact the rails are practically made continuous metals; surf the knocking and jarring of the wheels of the carriages, so common on cross-sleeper roads, and .so destructive to the rolling stock, are entirely got rid of, u is also the joint-chair and the evil consequences of its use. The Eastern Counties Company hay , ) already fish jointed their line as far as Sawbridge worth (28 miles from the Bishopsgate-street terminus), and they are proceeding with the alteration over the entire line at the rate of above two mileti per week. They have applied to the working of a punching-machine 4 the necessary portions of a little vertical boiler locomotive, both of which have ample space found for them on a truck, lied as the permanent-way men take un the rails the holeteare punched in the latter. The rails are imme diately relaid with the fish-joint fitted to them. The economy of the alteration will be best gathered from the fact that, under the old system. of joint-chairs ' , the portion of the line to which the fish. joint has been a ppli e d cost the company 921. par mile per annum ter labour alone, and that the labour fo r such portion . l of the liue is now contracted for at the rate of a 4/. prm!. m il e — a sa ving of 581. per mile per annum. It i s calc ula_osh-j d o h o the saving jto the company from the use of t he fish t to about will—when the whole line is altered— v""n the great 13,0004 per , annum, exclusive of the Baring in wear and tear of the joint-chair system. to which The ran-down yesterday to Saw br idgeworth, to them, place the rails have had the fish-joints v.ip G plied Berkley, the was for the purpose of affording Mn.

Now, when your worst enemy wants you to do a thing, it is time to doubt whether it is for your advantage. At the present moment nothing will give more annoyance to the rather factious noblemen and gentlemen now goading the Conservatives to their ruin, than that the agricul turists and other interests lately exposed to the operation of free trade should release their representatives from their pledges, and leave them as free and open as possi ble. Those representatives may then do something, as they undoubtedly will, if they can; but, if they enter Parliament' all • ticketed with pledges, they will simply stand as targets for the fire of the Opposition, without DAILY NE being able to use their own arms self-defence. Upwards of 7,000 workmen, it WS. —The strag i gle betwen the en gineers and their employ er s , the terms offered by the i t seems appears, drawing blaavr to e Nae accepted we olonse. :ere; and . confession that already som m b e a a e s e e, b oool. o f b the ed furs tb or the Amalgamated Society contest attests the rapid exhaustion e e b een of absorbed b carrying on the war. No other result could be expected. The laws of society, if allowed free mean y s for e the long run be more than seete r t f ien, will ever in for the artificial combinations which selfishness or ben evolence de vise to control them. Free tr a d e—that t may re, the natural order of things,—spontaneously developing itself in entire freedom, here as everywhere else , win the victory. The Amalgamated Society .1" sought is sure to to interfere with ' the natural course of t he world, and will be beaten; for it has long been obvious that it is no emancipating move; no vindication of the liberty of the workman against tyrannical and selfish restrictions imposed on his time and labour. by th e cupidity of his employer. On the contrary, it has distinctly aimed at founding a new constitution of the commercial world; it has tried to supersede nature by arrangements framed to secure special advantages for a particular class upon strict principles of protection; and nature has proved too strong for it. The same fate would have attended similar conduct on the part of the masters. Artificial schemes, however skilfully planned, for depressing wages below the natural level of their market value, are equally certain to fail. If the labour of the operative is in demand, the eagerness of masters to obtain possession of it will break down every resolu tion to keep down his remuneration at a theoretical price. When trade is good and hands are scarce, wages must and will rise, whatever edicts may have been pre viously fulminated on the contrary. In all these mat ters there is only one danger to be apprehended—the interposition of impediments to the most complete freedom of action. That freedom alone is the guarantee for justice to both parties: the sole pledge that each shall obtain that portion of the profit which fairly belongs to him under the actual circumstances of trade. Protection, whether of workman or master, is the child of covetousness aed the parent of injustice ; and by a righteous law of Providence, commonly works as much injury to those in whose behalf it is set up as to those agalast whom it is levelled. This law has received an illustration in the present contest which is much to be regretted. The masters, in taking back their men, have required them to sign a pledge that they would not be long to any kind of trades union. We are not prepared to assert that under the actual circumstances of the struggle the demand of such a security could be avoided, yet neither are we convinced of its imperative erati • stet workmen are returning to the shepfnbecavensentereyseity. are the losers in the fi g ht : t h e l oss and suffering they have suaained are the beet guarantees against a repetition of their aggression. On the other hand, such a pled g e is a clear restriction on fr ee d om o f act i on; it seta up a bad example; it keeps alive the idea of artificial regulations; and is very likely to be turned against its inventors at some future sky. It will be appealed to as a justifica tion for some counter-pledge hereafter. ft is the misfortune of the working classes that the practical exercise of their freedom has many more difficulties to encounter than are found to impede the capitalist. They have fewer means to meet the en croach inents of covetou sness . It thee:- numners are in f.•%C3SS in a particular trade, or employmeut is scarce, their ability to extricate themselves or to resist an undue depreciation of wages is weaker. Capital easily transfers itself from one business to another, when sinking profits command it to flit. Th e poor man can practise but one trade; his education has not qualified him for changing his calling, and thus adapting himself to the ever-varaing circumstancss of commerce; and when the supply ex ceeds the demand for labour in any department of bu siness, emigration to another and more inviting field either wain the kingdom or in the colonies is a re source froth' which he is commonly precluded, either by poverty or ignorance. But if the difficulties vehicle nature has imposed on the working man are great, it is intolerable that they should be wantonly in creased by legislation. No class of men is more entitled to fair play, or every consideration of humanity and justice, than, the working class; and in these days none can be injured with greater risk to the whole commu nity. Not only is their importance in the social system every day more deeply appreciated; but, still more, the sympathy which is felt for their wrongs not unfrequently manifests itself in the active propagation of benevolent, but most crude and dangerous schemes for the improvement of their condition. Our laws of 'pertnership are a signal instance of an unintentional, bat nevertheless very real denial of fair play to the poor. Large capitalists can readily unite in small firms, and thus escape moat of the evils incident to the laws which regulate partnerships; but the union of a large number of small partners is impossible, except under the pro tection of a charter. And this impossibility arises, not from the condition of unlimited liability—for the dif ference between limited and unlimited liability vanishes for the poor man, who in either case stakes all his sav ings in that partnership—bat from the laws which re gulate the relation of partners towards each other: Every partner is legally entitled to an equal control of the common property—he may sell or otherwise dispose of it without impediment—be may pledge the common credit—no agreement to place the management in a few hands, who alone should have the right of dealing with the common funds is valid—there is no means for settling the disputes of partners between each other but a suit in Chancery; and to that extremity the death of any partner, to causes, n othing of other causes, renders them incessantly liable. It is obvious that under such circumstances a large partnership is a practical impossibility. We have pointed out on a former occasion that partnerships en commandite promised to furnish a happy solution of the great and anxious problem of combining the interests of the master with those of the workmen: a more vital matter for the welfare of England cannot well be con ceived. It is very provoking that the absurd provisions of our laws of partnership render the attempt to realise this all-important good impossible. Au operative in a mill may lend his savings to the manufacturer at a fixed rate of interest, but if he stipulate tor a return pro portioeate to the profits of the concern, he is pro nounced by the law a partner, and acquires rights of interference and management to which no master could subject himself. Can any regulation b more unreasonable? Can any pl an b e • e more skil fully devised for frustrating an enormous good, with out any compensating advantage? There are many weighty considerations to be taken into ae some serious difficulties to be eneatiate. d eeount, and a new general low of partnership; but , se in framing hat objection of any moment can be raised aeainst a lender being allowed to stipulate for a vac in Instead of a fixed re turn on the loan which he y midst without losing his char ac ter of Is_to a mercantile firm, vetted into a partner?

Bet even supposing this danger could not be guarded a ga i nst, i t would still b e b eyon d the province of the law t o supersede by enacen ents the exercise of per sonal prudence. The law is bound to furnish every fa cility for the prevention and remedying of wrong; but the law cannot and ought not to undertake to shut out the risks incident to human lire. Profits cannot be ob tained without risk; the law is not justified in assuming a false paternity towards the poor man, and forbidding him to have a cbanco of the profits, on account of the danger of loss. The calculation of one against the other is his affair;.he has a right to free action; and the exercise of the virtues called forth by the tresponsibilities attached to liberty, educates and elevates the character. A few such losses would draw out an intelligence end caution that would compensate for a hundredfold their amount. But well-framed pre visions for enforcing publicity would bestow all the security which could be desired. The amount of the publicity might be regulated jointly by the law and pri vate agreement. In the case of small sums. or loans made en commandite by workmen to their employers, a periodical statement of the accounts at a meeting of all the partners ought to be required; and, we should add, an auditing, if demanded, by sworn public officers, with a machinery, similar to that provided for the friendly societies, for the prompt settlement of disputes. In other cases —we might &most say in all—the re qu i r i ng specifying the terms of the part of a writt en agreemen t, nerehip, a n d rea dy legs! me ans for enforcin g i t, is all that the law need provide. The great matter is, to allow loans to be entitled to profits, without conferring partnership; all the rest the practical good the rights of of the community would - • sense and experienc e E peed:ly supply.
