Of late this evil has sessionally acquired a greater and a greater magnitude. Half" the time of ( ) ornament has been taken up in passing laws to ° amend and explain" laws pas. - Jed by the same Par )iament—the enactments requiring such immediate `N,unentlinent being themselves avowedls' iiatOry of Acts passed in a previous' session : legislation has so fearfully increased—particu larly in the Local and Amendment Bill department— that the intellectual organs of the community gene rally to express all eager - loess for the adoption of measures for restrainin : l, it within bounds simply corn nreusurate with the welfare of the people. As politi cal intelli: , ence hetotnet more spread abroad, the public voice will be rlised still louder in reprobation of a sys . - ton which only serves to promote litigation, and to n o r the wheels of justice. The laws of England may be described as so Many man -trips set up without no tiee—so many :mares in the path of the people, in Which all ,who arc caught are rubbed of their property, their reputation, or their life. in fact, they only ap pe-,r to unsophisticated - mindn as "ingenious and dis honest contrivances for supporting gentlemen of the long robe at the expense of their- inure scrupulous countrymen. A writer in the Chrmide, who, with praiseworthy zeal, advocates a more enlightened system of Legislation, would have hi.- readers believe, however, that the Lawyers, as a body, are not to blame-for the wianifest absurdities of our Statute La-Y. He denies that Lawyers " love mystery because it is productive of gain to theinselves"—adding with more plausibility. than truth : There is no class of persons who suffer more than do the li'-vcrs by the nistery Of the Statute Law, and it is pro ductive of loss rather than of gain to them. In truth, there arc few good statute lawyers ; the Statute Law is so pulling to theta, as well as to others, that it is not reading they arc fond of; and the impossibility of predicating with half so much certainty as they can of the c4 - minion law what the law is involves them io risks of loss of professional re. putation, and, with respect to the lower branch of the pro fession, of money- too. We have reason to believe, there tore, that- no class of men would rejoice so heartily at the reformation of the Statute Law as the lawyers, for interest's sake as well as fOr the comfort of the thing. And although the lawyers' language is used in our law, it is not their fault that it is used, but that of the Lirislature, which surely should Le at the pains of writing down its own will in the apt phraseology of its mother tongue. The truth is, that our laws arc not always written by the best lawyers ; and some of those who do write them labour under the mistake of supposing that the language they employ is legal and technical because it has a smatter ing of legal phraseology." With equal felicity of illustration it might be con tended that no persons suffer more from the detection of theft than thieves, and therefore it must follow that they never sanction stealing. No persons suffer more from crime than its perpetrators, but the fact is no argument in favour of their innocence. It is just the same with lawyers and the laws. Not an Act has passed the House of Commons since the accession of CHARLES the SECOND, which has not undergone the revision of some member of the 1e.241 profession. If any one will take the trouble to compare the rolls of Parliament in the reign of EDWARD the Third with the Acts passed since the accession of the House of Brunswick, he will easily c „„yi nec himself of the part which the lawyers have had in loading ani perplexin g the Statute -book. The lawyers first obtained an exclu , :ire supervision of Par liamentary Bills in the rogn of HENRY the Seventh, and legislation in conse quence such was the growth of , that throughout the long reign of EL tzABETtr we find h er Majesty sessionally complaining of the excessive num her and conflicting nature of the laws then in bein g , and urging the necessity of abridging rather than of increasing them. Thus at the opening of the Parlia went of 1593 we find Sir Jon` PUCKERING, lord keeper, addressing the Commons in the following strain :—" Her Majesty hath farther willed me to signify to you that the calling of this Parliament now • is not for the making of any more new laws and statutes —for there are already a sufficienr.iitiMbet, both of ecclesiastical and temporal, and so may there. be, that rather thatr , to burthenihe subjects With more, to their grievance, it were fitting an abridgment were made of those there are already. Wherefore it is her Ma jesty's pleasure that the time be not spent therein. And whereas heretofore it bath been used that may have delighted themselves - in long orations full of 'ver bosity and of vain ostentations more than in speakinng of things of substance, the time that is precious should not be therein spent." The same in substance we find repeated by that consummate lawyer and excellent judge lord-keeper EGERTON, in opening the Parliament of 1597. " The number of laws already made," ob served this great statesman, ", are very great ; some of them are obsolete and worn out of use, others idle and vain, serving to no purpose ; some again are too severe for the offence, others too loose and slack for the faults they are to punish, and many of them so full of difficul ties to be understood that they cause many and costly c introversies. You arc therefore to enter into due consideration of the said laws ; and where you find a superfluity to pare and cut off, where defect to supply, and where ambiguity to explain, that the laws be not burthensome but profitable to the Commonwealth." Unfortunately ELIZABETH has yet had no successor equally intent on remedying this great grievance of the British people, and which has increased so enormously of lafe, that if no stop be put to it, a popular contempt for the functions of legislation will super.,ede our pre sent respect for, and confidence in, the deliberative wisdom of Parliament. To remedy the evil here complained of, a Commis sion ought to be appointed for the revision of the Statute Law, in order to exclude from the Statute book every Act, or section of an Act, which has either grown obsolete, or been repealed by subsequent enact ments. We do not here mean the appointment of a Commission for the perpetration of a gross job,, like the Record Commission ; but the appointment of some six or ten able, hard-working men, prepared to devote themselves exclusively to this business. By the successful termination of the labours of such a Commission, and the printing of an authorized version of the Statute Law, the people would he placed in a position to judge of the ulterior steps to be taken for the legislative amendment of the laws still in operation. To prevent the growth of such abuses in future Parliament ought to abolish the practice of passing Bills to " amend and explain" laws already in opera tion. Where amendment or explanation is judged cessare, let the rule be adopted of repealino the defte; tive law altorether, arid embodyiug what is wished to remain of it in the Act about to be proposed. In other words—let there be an incorporation of the amended law anti the necessary amendment. Timis will do away with a {vorld of expensive litigation, as it is impossible for any lawyer, whom the labours 01 any .S scion of Parliament has escape!}, to Ith'ec his ba4.o-: a S'atwe under which he can prosecute with 4 eerta . mv of its having escape" the process of cxpla_ nation and amendment. Now the greatest curse of o u r Statute Law is this very uncertainty. The !age for Parish, County, Corporation,.load, pile-, Canal, Britl2:e, and Company Legislation, another great cause of this evil, -upon which some check should he imposed.

Thus laws without num her are passed, of the object of which the nation ne:' titer bears nor undcritands a syllable, though too ofte vitally affected by than. We shall 'cairn to this suh ject on a future occasion. Were rirour of understanding and soundness of princi ple to be inferred from the power of 'the dig - estive organ,, the Tories would have a fair chance of ircin,: considered intelligent men and good politicians. We know no other way in which they can make out claim to these attributes. E a ti ng an d drinking— stullin:; and swilling—are now the order of the day with them. It is one continued guzzle on some pre tence or other. We are far from finding fault wizli them fur this. On the contrary, we arc glad of it ; far it not often that they ate so harmlessly em ployed. Besides, there is some positive gor)drcultini: from lirAtiable gulositv. vcrilas is a trite saying, but not inure trite than true ; and as the Tories observe as little moderation in their festivities a:s they do in other thine, we are sometimes enabled to get at those pots of theirs, which their habitual hypocriy at other times prevents from being! easily pent!trated. We say nothing of the ridiculous antics which dome of their leading men play off, to their no small regret, when the calm forenoon hour of reflection arrives, or when they are informed, by some good-natured friend, of those escapades of which they are themselves totally obli vious. We have a pregnant example of this—and where is the use of heaping up cases of the same dis gusting nature ?—in the behaviour of a Mr. JOHN JuLiNsON, who is considered a tip-top man among the North Derbyshire Tories, at a feed given last week to Mr. GEORGE ARK:WRIGHT, the rejected of that division of the County. It would be impossible to give our readers a just idea of the speech delivered by this gentleman on the occasion alluded to, without affording them the opportunity of reading it—which we shall probably do to-morrow-hut • that. it must have been §ennething out of the c ommon way may be imagined, from the fact that the speaker called next day at the office of the North Derbiphire Chronicle, and requested that the editor of that paper would give an cditio castrata of this oration of which he was thoroughly ashamed, and for which he pleaded in ex tenuation the fact, that he was in too " glorious" a state to know what he was about. The editor of that excellent Journal, however, could not in honour comply with the request, as he had given a pledge, before he could be admitted to the exhibition, t h at h e would publish " a fair and impar tial report of the proceedings." " Alas !" says the editor of the Derbyshire Chronicle, " we could not concede such a favour even to glorious' JOHN JOHNSON ; and we are therefore constrained to pub lish as pretty a specimen of vituperation and black • guardism as ever graced the pages of the rankest Tory print in Christendom. A man, whether he be drunk or sober, should have sonic little command over hi s tongue, and not suffer it to speak language in an assembly composed of magistrates, clergymen, trades men, and 301. tenants, suitable only for the cock-pit and the stews. We hope this unfortunate ebullition will for the future be a warning even to 'glorious JoIIN JoliNsoN." Several other Tory exhibitions, of much the same character as that at Chesterfield, took place last week. W e notice one at Norwich, where there was a congre gation of several hundred people to celebrate the triumphs of intimidation and corruption in the counties of Norfolk and SAOlk. There was another at Stroud to comfort the heart of Mr. Serjeant A D.Am s, , the con temptuously rejected of that borough--a very learned gentleman, who, to judge from the great quantity of ill natureof which he disburdened himself in his speech, feels peculiarly sore under bis.affhttion, atib must stand in need of all the consolation. which . his friends can give him. , , The whole of the Paris journals of Friday and Sa-' turday have been received. Of domestic intelligence the most important in the journals is the fact an nounced in the following paragraph : " A Central Committee is appointed in Paris to super intend elections. Its cnd is to unite in the action all the shades of national opp2sition, and to obtain, by the combi nation of their efforts, an independent chamber. The Com 7. mittce consists of Messrs. Dupont de l'Eure, Arago, Mau guin, Mathieu, Larabit, Laffitte, Ernest Girander, Clause], Gamier Pages, Cormenin, Salverto, Thiers, all members of the Chamber ; of Chatelain, editor of the Courier Fran cais ; Cauchois Lemaire, editor of the Minerva; L. Blanc, editor of the BonSens ; Frederick Lacroii, editor of the Monde ; Thomas, editor of the National ; Dubose, editor of the Journal du Peuple ; Goudchou, banker ; Viadot, Domes, N. Lemercier, Dr. Rostan ; F. Desportes, Marie and Ledru Rollin, advocates ; Dupont Sarram, and David, the sculptor." _ According to the Debars, the composition of this Committee is a convincing evidence of the hypocrisy of the dynastic• Opposition party . in professing to have DO conn ec ti on w ith t h e Ul tra R e publicans. There is, however, one i n d e p en d en t R e p u bli c an, whom this Ministerial organ cordially congratulates on his firmness in standing aloof from a political association with such pretended Liberals as Marshal CLAUSEL— nameIy, ()DILLON BARROT. Neither does it believe that the electors will submit to the dictation of a quasi Republican Committee: The Journal de Paris is still more violently opposed to the formation of the Committee of Opposition, and professes to see only in its proceedings an avowed hostility to the monarchy of July, and the existing . institutions of France. The Courrier Francais, on the contrary, defends the con duct of the Opposition, in organizing itself in a way to make its influence felt by the Government. The conflicting opinions in the Committee prove only that Men of nearly every shade of opinion have disapproved of the policy of past Administrations. Whenerer the Opposition, in former Chambers, insisted on any ame lioration, it was urged tauntingly by Ministers, that such Opposition knew not what it wanted—that its intnibers entertained the most conflicting opinions upon every subject—and' that, before it compla'ned of the conduct of the Government, it was neces sary that it should agree upon some definite line of conduct. The same Journal adds, that the ground for such a taunt being removed, and the fixed opinions . of the Committee of Opposition- 1 being generally known, Ministers will not carry tniti= eiii`etotis and oppressiVe measures "with so high a ; There is a great deal of good sense in the 4 re malks, and if the Members of the Committe4 do. not split among themselves, we have no dotibt but that . the result of its organization will be favourable to the conservation of the popular liberties of France. Thc following official communication from Spain appears in the Monilcur " Bayonne, Oct. 12, 7 A.M. M A PRI D OCl'. 7.—The Ambassador of France to the Mini,t,:r of Foreign Affairs.—The new Ministers of War :Ind or Justice, not baring accepted, have been replaced .by MAjor-General Ramonet and by M. - Matavi , ril, deputy. Thus the Cabinet is definitely constituted. .There is no thing new from the theatre of war. Madrid enjoys per lei t • tranquillity." On the evening the 7th hist, General ORA A in.arched from Saragossa at the head of his division to attack Cantavieja. Shoull he'succeed, the power of the Carlists on the Lower Ebro will be completely Cwirri,r •trancoi.B 'ha.: the following from fricA " According to informaticu on which we can rely, the troops landed at Tripoli from Turkey do not exceed 1.000 or 1,100 men, the major part of whoin are very young, and belong to corps formed upon the newly adopted system; but there also 100 or 120 cannoneers ;iom the forts in the Dardanelles. These soldiers were encamped outside the town, but they may possibly have been sent off to Constantine. Those known to have gone before were sent by sea, and landed in some one of the liates to the south of Tunis, whence they have reached licfs. As to Tunisian subjects, Achmet Bey has increased his bands with only a few of the Arabs from the adjoining mountains, and a few Tnrki whom Mustapha Bey ha7l not the t oad sense to take into his service." '.. - Anncxed are extracts from the journals a— , " Christino officer, named Gomez, commanded a small flying column in the province of Lerida, and by his great activity prevented the Carlists from rallying in that pro vince. A canon of Lerida, however, by means of a sum of money, induced eight deserters to assassinate Gomez. These wretches enlisted in his column, and some time afterwaids brought his head to the canon, who had paid for it beforehand ! It was reported that %urbane. had been assassinated in the same manner, and that an individual condemned to death at Estella had consented to redeem his own life by the murder of the Christino chief, whose reso lution and activity had rendered signal service to the con stitutional cause. The condemned man enlisted in Zur bano's column, and is said to have murdered him on the. , road to Lodosa, and to have escaped by mounting Zurbano's horse. " The Minister of the Interior has appointed a commis sion fo • the preservation of national monuments, under the presidency of the Director of Hi s t or i ca l M onumen t s , com- . _ posed of the following members :—Baron Taylor, Count Anatole dc Montesquieu, M. Octet, Counsellor of State, M. Auguste Le Prevost, M. Caristie, Member of the Conn -61 of Civil Buildings, M. Felix Dubai), Architect of the Ecole des Beaux Arts, and M. Prosper Merimee, Inspee f tor of Historical Monuments, and Secretary to the Com mission. The Augsburg Gazette gives a letter of the 6th instant. from Frankfort•on-tbe-Maine, stating that the Senate had rejected the bills and propositions of the Diet, and pro posed to enter a formal protest against the threat of ulti mately burdening the city with the expenses necessary for keeping up the federal garrison. The contract granted by the Grand Duke of Hesse for the railroad on the right bank of the Maine had made a great impression on capi talists and the public in general. An easy and rapid com munication between Mentz and Frankfort on the right bank of the Maine is expected to produce the happiest results for the commercial prosperity of both cities, and to attract crowds of strangers to the Rhine and the Maine during the summer. It was also thought that the Grand Duke would grant the contract for the railroad from Ha na u t o Frankfort on condition of its being continueOrpra ! Henan to ,Fatilda. " We learn by a letter of the )64014, from Odessa,,that the Emperor of Russia, with the Hereditary Grenti the Grand Duke Michael, and ilie4rand Duchess Helena, arrived in thalloyn in tbq might. of the 37th, baying been preceded by theiEppress and the-Prand ,Duchess:Meria Nikolajewna on the 15th. The Archduke John of - Austria, Princess Albert and Augustus of Prussia, Duke Bernard of Saxe Weimar and his son Prince William, the Duke de Lcuctcnberg, Count Nesselrode, the Count de Fiquelmont, Prince Wolkonski, and many other distinguished person ages 'nave also entered Odessa. The Empress and the Grand Duke Duchess went to the theatre in the evening of their arrival, and were received with the utmost enthusiasm. The performance was the opera of Norma, by Bellini. From the morning of the 16th the town has presunted one com plete succession of gaieties, and every evening has been brilliantly illuminated. " The people of Glaris held on the Ist inst. a general /andsgenzeinde, at which a large concourse of citizens be longing to the cantons of St. Gall, Zurich, and the Grisons attended. " The Catholic clergymen of Glaris alone had thought proper to abstain from coming forward to take the oath to the Constitution—not, it would seem, from any objection on their part to comply with that formality, but because their Bishop required that in swearing thereto they should except such articles as referred to religion arid ecclesiastical laws. The Landamman, M. Schindler, in acquainting the Assembly with this resolution of the Catholic clergy, pro duced letters written by the two Chaplains, Messrs. Stalin and Tschudi, to the State Committee, in which they de clared, that although they considered religion and the rights of the Catholic Church sufficiently guaranteed by the Con stitution, yet that they could not, to their great regret, take the required oath, bound as they were by their obe dience to their superior. M. Schindler inferred 'row this statement that the opposition of the clergy was the result of an intrigue, and in noways a ease of conscience, and lie accordingly proposed to address a new friendly appeal to the Catholic priests, before any coercive measures should be resorted to, adding, that should this frcah attempt at con- ciliation prove without result, he would convoke the treble Landrath, who no doubt would adopt proper means of en. forcing obedience to the laws. This proposition meeting with no opposition, the Assembly proceeded with the busi ness of the day, and the Catholic laity took the oath of al legiance to the Constitution. _ _ " A letter from Toulon of the 9th says :—" The Dili c'Orrette, -Capt. BrindgOtie Trep,lode, has just receivedo'rdep to put to sea to-morrow on a mission, which will not suffer any delay. It is reported that this vessel is totake otders--.tu the divisi9rt of Admiral Lalande to re turn immediately to the port ot Toulon to await orders to proceed to another destination." _ _ . The telegraph which transmitted this order has likewise brought directions for the four corvettes of Burden, which wcre under sailing orders at Toulon, to put to sea in the course of the day. In consequonce of these orders the Maine, the Fortune, and the Caravane, immediately sailed for Bona. The Agatlie, which is taking in a cargo of 900 cannon-balls (four pounders), 1,000 twelve-pound shells, 500 shovel-handles, and 2,500 pickaxe-handles, cannot sail till to-morrow for the same destination. The Be ;Jere frigate sailed this morning. It is going to join the squadron which is assembling at Brest, and 'which is shortly to sail for Saint Domingo. The Lamproic transport took on board this afternoon the 6th Company of Discipline, of 127 men. It was reported on 'Change yesterday that the squadron of Admiral Gallois was gone to Naples, but this news does not seem to be confirmed.—.Alessager. The day was so cloudy that the lovers of astronomy were fearful of losing the sight of the eclipse of the moon ; but about half-past eight o'clock the clouds dispersed, and at the hour when the eclipse began the sky was perfectly clear, and the whole progress of the phenomenon, from the beginning to the end, was perfectly visible.—Le Contmerce.

PROFESSOR WILSON.--It will afford his nume rous friends, and the public generally, sincere pleasure to learn that Professor Wilson is now happily re stored to health. Domestic affliction—that most severe of the dispensations of Providence—had for some months bowed down the spirits, and affected the health of this . eminent gentleman ; but time, the great soother, restores him to his friends and the wo►ld again.

The past .week's arrivals of all descriptions of grain were considerable, anTtlYere was a good quantity of Flour. The trade for eVery article was dull and declining throughout the wiek.• This morning the fresh supplies of Grain in general have been moderate, and the new samples of Wheat and Barley were chiefly in tender condition. The decline in price of Wheat since this day se'nnight, may be stated at from 2s. to 3s. per quarter, but this morning all the dry parcels fully obtained Friday's prices, and the damp qualities were almost entirely neglected. The Bar ley trade is very heavy, and prices are Is. to 2s- per quarter lower than this day se'nnight. Old Beans maintain their value. New Beans are dull, and rather lower. Boiling Peas support their former rates. Grey Peas are further declined Is. per quarter. The quantity of Oats is now too large for the buyers to sell off; and the terms are in consequence re. duced full Is. per quarter since last Monday.

Elbe. The schooner had a cargo of coals, from Shields and was bound to Haml.urgh ; on arriving at the mouth of the Elbe, on the 29th No vember last, she discharged her sea-pilot, and lay-to for the purpose of taking in a river pilot. The steamer was coming up the rive r a t th e same time, an d seeing a pilot boat approaching the Perscrcrahce, she steered between them for the purpose of obtaining the pilot' first. 'The schooner was making stern-way, her sails being aback, and the steamer struck her on her larboard quarter, carrying away her bulwarks and a portion of her stern.. Although the steamer was hailed repeatedly she - kept on her way, and the schooner drifted a few miles up the river, when she was observed to _be fast sinking. The boat was hoisted out, and the crew, consisting of ten men and the captain, were in the act of getting in, when she went down, by which eight of th e cre w were drowned, and the Captain and two others, by clinging to the top-mast, supported themselves till the following morn ing, when a brig coming up the river, took th e m off. Mr. Sergeant TALFOURD and Mr. KELLY conducted the case for the defendants, and endeavoured to show that the schooner was lying across the river right in the steamer's way, and that the circumstance of her going astern brought her in contact with the - steamer before the paddles could be reversed, which was done immediately after the collision took place. The case for the plaintiff had not concluded when our Reporter left. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) MEAL, OCT. 15.—Wind N.

We have very lea , arrivals for a Monday morning, consi dering its being a double post day. We have nothing but the ordinary foreign mails, and three or four arrivals of ship letters of old dates. The express from Paris is of a very meagre description respecting the operations of the contend ing armies in Spain.• All this causes great dullness in the operations in the foreign funds ; that, however, is not the case with the British Stocks, which closed very buoyant on Saturday at 92j- 93 for the November Account ; and for Money 91%- It is expected that the operations of the banking interest i❑ the course of this week are likely to be on an extensive scale, owing to the great accumulation of the receipts in their hands of the dividends paid last week, the greater part of which, it is expected, will be laid out in the various British funds, in consequence of which a further rise is anticipated.
