The barometer at Greenwich was 29.770 inches, nearly 4-tenths inch higher than it was in the preceding week; and it rose gradually through the week from 29.462 to 80-034. The mean daily temperature of the air was 61 . 8°, or 1° above the average; at the highest it was 75.6°, lowest 50.5°, in the air; 91° once in the sun, 13° once on the grass. The temperature of the polluted Thames was at the highest 66.6', at the lowest 62.5°. The air on the whole was dry, for the dew point (54°) was 8° below the mean temperature, yet 1.91 inch of rain fell in the week. On Tuesday, the 17th, between seven and halr-p3st seven P.M there was a severe thunder. storm, and rain fell to the depth of 0.25 in. in five minutes. A second storm occuized about eleven P.M. The wind was variable and generally tranquil, for on an average t nuty moved at the raze of 57 miles a day. # - - 7 -. i) \ * 1',.%1'.. -----,-,.....,"...: ... ~....- A , ~-,,,? ragew i ti,.!. tIEU +'V'TR4 l ' - 31(3'4 , 4-4,4 r ----- ~ ~,,..---,:•',z.

Therefore the pauper- • dowagers, the feeble Ladies Co N STAN C E and j the feebler Ladies PLANTAGENET, and the Honourable Misses—amiable Sexagenarian s l — ought to know that if public charity pensions, feeds, an lodges them, it is cut of the poor man's labour that 1 their ease comes. To know this, by such a reflective process as Thought, is far beyond the mental power and calibre of the faded flatterings of illustrious mortality whom, in this audacious article (as they will call it), we have brought into public view. Small matter as to the rich may appear the dif ference between sixpence and a shilling in the price of food—it is all-in-all to the masses. It is much that the labouring man may now—thanks to PEEL — give untaxed foci to his family ; but it is more, by far, that the reduced rate of food necessarily brings (indeed, must bring,) a reduction in all other prices. The rich chiefly think of what most interests them selves, namely, the maintenance of Rent. But if 10s. a week of wages go as far now as 15s. would have gone ten years ago, merely by parity not only of reasoning but of practice, twenty shillings per acre, from Rent, should go as far as thirty shil lin g s p er acre used to go ? The landowner must not reap more than his proper share of benefit from the altered condition of things. He, also, is greatly advantaged, in his expenditure, by Free Trade ; his household ex penses are a third less than they used to be ;—what claim has he, also, besides this gain, to have the additional advantage of undiminished rental from his land? If to him, as to others, twenty shillings be of as much value, in exchange for articles of consurnpe tion, as thirty shillings used to be, why should he be so unjust as to expect and demand the larger amount 1 from his tenants ? To sum m he u n p ot r the edu ar e g e a h m is e len ti t a s o : ne interrogation—WhY d Protection, if it mean anything now, im plies nothing more nor less than k eep i ng up the rent of land. It would be easy to show w hy this is—but we can gi ve th e explana tion howand on a future occasion. Meanwhile, we ask any man of common sense, whether the DERBY Ministry, including as it does a clever leader and many clever followers, all of whom must know the actual state of things, can dream of maintaining, as a vital principle, that Protection which has naturally and properly graduated into something nearly as immaterial as the famous Cock-lane ghost, which, some eighty years ago, challenged the evidence and alarmed the imagi nation of S AMUEL J OHNSON , th e a u thor of that Di ary, by which, single-handed, pitted against the Academie of France, (to quote GOLDSMITH'S graceful compliment)— "He beat forty Frenchmen, and would beat forty more 1" No, Protection is defunct. Not all the force of fifty PAUL FOSKETTS, Or a hundred GEORGE FREDERICK YOUNGS, can put it on its legs again. The twenty-seven millions who form the population of the United Kingdom -will not stultify them selves by consenting that landlords may keep up their rents to pay a shilling for the sixpenny loaf. They might . assent to abstract reasoning, but when it comes to paying two sixpences for one they naturally decline all accedence to the experienced theory. Are they not right ? Ask the mothers and the chubby-checked children ! What is the cui bond of these remarks ? Only this, that whoever may continue to cherish the ex pectation, vague as vain, that the Earl of DERRY and his Cabinet will bold on by a shred of Protection, will be awfully disappointed when Parliament meets. A lively quadruped confidentially confided to Cap tain HIRAM SMITH, of the Kentucky sharp-shooting rifles, that he was " a gone coon," and requested him to spare his powder and shot as he (the racoon) meant to come off the tree and be killed and skinned quietly. Protection may make up its mind to be decently abandoned and interred, b e i n g vo t e d "dead and incapable," by common assent ! Nobody thinks of cherishing the deserted orphan ! Everybody votes it defunct—if not dead it ought to be—and of all people in the world, the DERBY Ministry are most anxious to as3i4t at its funeral, to prove its "last - will and testament," and to administer to the effects of the dead and gone deceased. It is defunct, and neither Low' Daunv in the Lords, nor Mr. DISRAELI in the Commons, wishes for its resurrection. We can readily imagine what a nonplus these brilliant gentlemen would be at, if (by accident), the elections had vita liz?.d Protection ! They want to have it dead—it is a terrible barrier against them. At all events, they will treat it as a defunct " party," and act an its executors. Au excellent resume of the recent Chancery and other Law Reforms bas just been issued by the Me tropclitan and Provincial Law Association, which, from its clearness and fulness, is entitled to every commendation. It is a common, and ought to be an exploded error, that lawyers are opposed to law re form. Of all persons, professional men are the best fitted, by actual knowledge and experience, to sng gest practical improvements in the theory and work ing of the Common and Statute Law. Without going back too far, we may mention that JEREMY BENTHAM, who sought to introduce common sense into law making, was himself a lawyer—that SAMUEL RoMILLY, SO long at the bend of his profession, la boured earnestly and strongly for the reform of the Criminal Law—that limos BB.OUGHAM, whose effoi is as a law reformer have gained him unfading honour, has effected his chief improvements by reason of the experience gained at the bar and on the Woolsack —that Lords DENMAN, LANGDALE, and CAMPEI3LL have taken leading parts in the same good cause; and that the Law Amendment Society, which has sug gested and supervised many of the legal changes within the last eight years, is principally, though not wholly, composed of gentlemen of every branch of the profession. The association whose Circular we have now before us consists exclusively , we believe, of solicitor's and attorneys—men who, in general, are supposed to have a direct interest in the maintenance of a cumbrous, and expensive, and dilatory system of jurisprudence. But, as stated in their Circular, "every real improvement in a court of law is certain CO be followed by a corresponding increase of business." Indeed in law, as in trading, the cheaper the article the greater the deman d f or it. In Equity,duringthe past Session of Par l iament, three important Acts have been carried, by which t is hoped that some of the principal abuses in the priie triecme o o v f a t lf the Courts w ill b e a b o li s h e d— a b uses , " for the have earnestlyvlllichlab:;,' laboured theecisfrom Circular, olathefira " t t e h s e ta C b o i r st in nn iti t ; ln eo t of the Metropolitan aw l P rovincial Law Assoc i at i on. " First comes the abolition of the office of Master in Chancery, and throwing upon the Judges the duties twat have hitherto devolved upon those subordinate officers. The Committee remark that they have still „ so me fear that the wholly itlEuTicient number of J u dges provided for bringing the new practice into ' operatio n tho bces of an d thatited thus th e pract i ce may become discredited b e f o re it ha s received a fair trial." Th ey addthe Co urts has been (and found the quite rksarewellA'ort of grave consi. deration)—'' Ther as business already Bch E is coul d be got t h rough by the Judges , the m as t e rs, and the Masters' clerk s , yet by this Act, although e o in ix t y o a operation,d in their °e veltbangb the Masters are only re- ema ne nu mber ofJudges fficQ r 3. re tained to wind up the in at the time of the Act coming thelasa, no increase is made in t h e to enable them_to perform th e new duties cast u p on t he Judges is less The Commit than the number of Masters' Cler them, and the number of Clerks to the under the new tee believe that the business might, expeditiously system, and with a sufficient judicial throe, be dig' posed of much more satisfactorily an than heretofore ; but they cannot see how the Ju dge s, who have been bard-worked hitherto, a nd have bee n unable to keep down arrecrs, can, if they devote ea 7 proper time t o Ch a mb e r busines s , p reve nt the err : from accumulating. The Committee, therefore, felt creasing it to hzt their d u t y t o ca ll th e at t ent i on o f b o th Houses of Parliament to this, and prepared a c l auso f o r in number of Judges, which was moved when th the e Bill waa in Committee in the House of Commons, but rejected. A report has reached the Committee that it is the intention of the Judges to do but little at chambers ; but the Committee cannot believe that the Judges will pursue a course whi c h would inevitably dofeat‘ the intention of the Legisla ture, and the fair expectation of the public." c The Improvement o f the Jurisdiction of Equity At is one of the fruits of the past session. The Committee report that in their opinion ell these changes in the practice of the c l ---° —eurt will be of great LONVON, WEDNESDAY advantage to the suitor, will the exception of the provision which substitutes printed for written bills or .claims. This, " instead of an improvement, will crede inconvenience, delay, and expense "—probably, however, the C C ELLOR will exercise the discretion ary power vested in him by the Act, and restore the practice of filing written bills or claims. All the other provisions of the Act will diminish expenses prevent delay, and simplify the procedure. The Suitors in Chancery Relief Act, which substi• Lutes salaries for fees, is another excellent measure. Our regret is that in all cases this principle has not been carried out. It extends now to the Common Law as well as the Chancery Courts, and there is no reason why in Binkraptcy, also, the of ' ficers should not be salaried. Th of the number of official assignees, leaving go u n ctn one to each court as treasurer, is desirable, and the retiring a c i o n m i n p g e n o s ffi at e io ia n l s s , a ca n n d b s e a ari paid,es t o w i retiring n a y s srem allowances, wel la charge on the Public P utv3nue, out of the immense accumulations from Unredeemed Dividends in bank rupts' estates. Is . is the leading clauses in the new Equity Acts were suggested, years ago, by the Association whose Cir cular we have been considering. The further Law Reforms of 1852 are contained in the Enfranchisement of Copyholds Act, the Wills Act Amendment Act, the new County Courts Act, and the Common Law Procedure Act. On the two last, the Committee report rather fully. _ On the 10th section of the County Courts Act (15 and 16 Victoria, c. 54), which allows "a barrister to appear for a party, although not instructed by an at torney," the Committee report that,"without benefiting, but rather prejudicing, the suitor, it inflicts an in jury upon the profession ;" and they give a detailed and curious history of that segment of legislation which, they remark, " will certainly not tend to in crease the disposition of attorneys to regard the question as finally determined." They complain that with scarcely any notice, and without a due oppor tunity of expressing an opinion on it, by the public or the profession, an organic change in the position of the two branches of the legal profession was passed through Parliament. Our own opinion, repeatedly ex pressed here, is that it is for the interests of both branches of the profession that barristers and attor neys should cordially co- operate. But the manner in which some attorneys had united, in local courts, for the purpose of monopolising the whole business, to the exclusion of the bar, was fast tending to create dissension among barristers and attorneys. Nor can we think that, by the section in question, the interests of the attorney will be injured. So long as the attorneys give the barristers their fair proportion of the business, they will find no intrusion on their department. Law Reform must advance, and in the spirit of the Speech from the Throne, at the close of the session, which said—" Every measure which simplifies the forms, and diminishes the delay and expense of legal proceedings, without introducing uncertainty of deci sion, impairing the authority o f th e C our t s , or lower ing the high standard of th e j u di c i a l b enc h, is a vain able boon conferred upo n th e commun ity at large." There must be sweeping changes in the Ecclesiastical Law, involving the total abolition of the tribunals which have earned such unenviable reputation. Toe Bankruptcy system must be made simpler in itspro cesses,- speedier in its work, i and less expensive its charges. Courts of Law and Equity must be amal gamated. Until these changes take place , t he p ublic will have continued cause for thinking that, as now administered, law is not justice. Variable as the accounts received from the pro vinces have latterly been in reference to the ap proaching harvee, it happily a ppears at t he present moment in the highest degree probable that the crops, in the majority of instances, will be of rather more than average excellence. Sunshine has so rapidly succeeded the excessive moisture of the past week or fortnight, that hopes are reviving in parts of the country where the most painful anxiety has hitherto been experienced. Accounts from Essex state that the harvest in that direction is already making fair progress—the corn cut during last week having now been all housed, the warm weather having effectually dried the sheaves on Sunday. A considerable portion of the crops in Kent have in like manner been got in— while a better feeling is gradually reviving in Sussex, as well as in Suffolk, in consequence of the sudden cessation of rain, and the steady rise in the baro meter. Had the wet lasted much longer it is tolerably certain that much of the produce of the land would have suffered irrepa rable injury. As it is, in the fens of Lincoln shire, especially in the more loamy soils, the mildew has effected much damage—besides which the rapid and almost simultaneous ripening of the crops in other directions, has caused a different kind of solicitude—namely, that as to the possibility of obtaining labour adequate for the emergency. An illustration of the necessity was afforded only the other day by the employment of a body of soldiers to assist the agri cultural labourers in reapin g—thereby fi gura ti ve ly changing the sword into the sickle, if not the spears into reaping-kooks. From the latest information received from various parts of the country we are rejoiced to announce, therefore, that the future proba bilities in regard to the harvest of 1852 are of the most propitious character. THE FRENCII REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Illonzteur announces that two treaties have been signed between France and Belgium by M. DnoUYN DE Lrtuys on the one hand, and MM. Ro- GLEE and LIEDTZ on the other. One of these treaties gives a reciprocal guarantee for works of intellect and art, at the same time lowering the duties imposed on books, prints, engravings, &c. ; and the other makes borne reduc►ions in the duty now imposed on a few Belgian articles. These two conventions are to be ratified cn December 10, ++.nd, if agreed to, are to be in force from January 1, 1853. They are con sidered as the prelude to immediate negotiations for the renewal of the treaty which has lately expired. The same journal states that the French Govern ment has received intelligence from Constantinople, of the 10th, announcing that FUAD-EFFENDI has been nominated Minister of Foreign Affairs, and that every satisfaction has been given to France in the affair of Tripoli. It vlso denies the truth of the .ttatftment made in the Morning. Herald relative to thi3 affair. Cardinal WISEMAN is at Cambrai, where 03 Sun day last he led a procession of the miraculous picture of the VIRGIN, said to be painted by St. LUKE ; also a miraculous image of the VIRGIN which, according to tradition, caught in her apron the balls of a be siegiag general. Both these pices justicatives have been solemnly placed—the one in the church, the other on the ranrarts. In the procession a number of young maidens in opera-girl muslin, with wings glued to their shoulders, personified angels. Among3t the relics was a monster crown, Riven to the Church by that monster King Louts XI., whose crime and superstition have been ren dered familiar in the "Quentin Durward" of SCOTT. Military bands accompanied the procession.

Ai. MARCHAND ENNEBX, grand rabbi of th'i central consistory of the Jews of France, died on Saturday last.

This, however, has not had the effect of inducing buyers to come forward as freely as could be desired, but that, I think, may be attributed mere to the uncertainty at this season as to the class of goods that will he re quired, and to the wish to see the new Silk, daily ex pected by the steamer, than either to any supera bundant stocks or unhealthiness in the trade. In Italians some further sales have been effected at rather easier rates. Ia Bengals there is no new featur e. About 500 bales will be landed in a few days. The letters last re (wive(' from Calcutt a report t h e mar k et as fa i r l y ac ti ve , and prices firm. Tho Exchange was there also operating against exports to England." The statement appended, concerning the health of the immigrants arrived this year at Quebec, is from a local source, and must be perused with great pleasure:— " We learn that the quarantine hopitals at Grosse Isle, where there is accommodation and bedding for 2,000 sick, are, at this time, almost tenantless. The whole number remaining under treatment when the steamer Alliance came up, on Wednesday, being two men. While the New York papers have been filled with accounts of sickness and mortality this spring, among emigrants (whom they often call foreign paupers), it is gratifying to notice the above fact. This season has been remarkable for the healthy state of the emigrants, and their freedom from the scourge of ship fever. This improved state of things is attributed by tee medical superintendent to the amendments to the Imperial Pessenger Law, to the excellent regulations of the Commissioners, and to the better class of passengers who now emigrate to cur shores. The route to the far west by the St. Lawrence is likely to be generally ttdeen by Germans and Nor wegians in future. Upwaeds of thirty vessels filled with them have arrived this season, and several are still ex pected." Bills of Exchange upon the foreign cities were mostly negotiated yesterday afternoon et about the previous iates, ninety-days' paper being taken at 25 47i to SO on Paris; 12 Ot to 1 on. Amsterdam; 13 9+ to on Hamburgh. Trieste was a shade lower, being 12 6to S. The meeting of Portuguese bondholders is now taking place at the London Tave:rn, and their committee have submitted a very elaborate report concerning past pro ceedings. The result, judging from the temper of the meeting will, we apprehend, ho the passing of deservedly stringent resolutions against the government at Lisbon. At the Newmarket Railway meeting just held, the chairmen in his speech made a very flattering represen tation_ as to the prospects of the undertaking when the now line of 14 miles is made, an d which complete the chain of comm u nication. r. Fans anticipates a wry satisfactory dividend, and thinks ultimately 5 or 6 per cent. will be realised. The total cost of the new line will be very small, and all the working expenses are scrupulously kept under. Consols look up again, and we have essentially weather markets.
