Oterttkr LONDON, TUESDAY, NOVEUBER 2, 1852. knows, by the evils which continue to this moment I rife iu the Southern States of the vast American Re public. CLARKSON is dead, and so is WILBERFORCE : but there are yet, thank HEAVEN ! noble hearts enough amongst us to plead for even those who are apparently the most forsaken. Eloquent voices are unheard, it is true, in Congress, calling aloud for the development of the grand labour of emancipation—voices like those which were wont to resound of yore within the walls of the British Parliament. But the novelists — those modern poets—are active where the orators are indolent. CHARLES DICKENS spoke nobly upon this subject to the inhabitants on both shores of the Atlantic, in those pages of his " American Notes," where he asserted, in burning words, the infamy of selling men like cattle—of spurning those who had the dignity of virtue like dogs, and of scourging those who were guiltless of a crime, as if they were the most detestable of male factors. Another voice has been raised to proclaim the same truth, but this time it is the voice of a woman. And the universal eagerness with which " Uncle Tom's Cabin" has been received in the United Kingdom, as well as in the United States, manifests how truly HARRIET STOWE has understood one of the chief requirements of her time—that of the diffusion of the highest principles of humanity—that of the realization in actual fact of the loftiest day dreams of benevolefice. Tears have rained down upon that book, throbbing in every sentence with the great heart of the woman-philanthropist—tears that have told that she has not cried out in vain for the amelioration of the wrongs of her fellow-creatures— tears of the young and of the old dropped down upon that simple record of suffering—the most ex quisite because the most spontaneous tributes of sad ness and of sympathy. Not, it is true, like those wrung out of the very soul of the poor negro, Urscns Tom, on first hearing that he was sold away from his wife and children (chap. v.), when " sobs heavy, hoarse, and loud shook the chair, and great tears fell through his fingers on the floor—just such tears, sir, as you dropped into the coffin where lay your first-born son—such tears, woman, as you shed when you heard the cries of your dying babe : for, sir, he was a man, and you are but another man ; and, woman, though dressed in silks and jewels, you are but a woman ; and in life's great straits and mighty griefs, ye feel but one sorrow !" No, not such as these ; but still tears, we repeat, of a subdued and elevating sympathy. While efforts are thus, not in effectually, being made in the New World to alleviate the miseries of the African, it should be remembered in the Old World that endeavours are equally desir able in behalf of many an unfortunate and degraded European. We, also, let us bear in recollection, have amongst us hundreds who are worthy in their present condition of no better title than that of being the Pariahs of soeiety—creatures scarcely less abject and forlorn than the lepers of the olden age, who lived apart from their fellow-men, the outcasts of the people, wretched mortals, whose existence was shrunk from as contagious, and whose very touch was re garded as contamination. For the improvement of these there are noble natures that have struggled, and are still struggling—resolute in their toil of generosity, and sanguine that that toil will not ultimately be found altogether fruitless. And so—the Ragged Schools have been carefully or ganized. And so—the Rookeries have (many of them) been purged of their most odious impurities. And so—the Schoolmaster is at last, indeed, and in very truth, Abroad. Education is thus recognized at length as the veritable panacea of numerous ills that had been deemed until now almost entirely incurable. Education—accompanied (be this sedu lously borne in remembrance), always accompanied by sanitary innovations. It is not alone, however, in the lowliest ranks of all in the population, that a change for the better is understood nowadays to be imperatively requisite. Ascending the scale of the social system, we discover improvements upon all sides eminently desirable. Happily, too, these im provements are now in course of realization. Of this tact, the Early Closing Movement is a project sig nificant enough to be adduced by way of corrobora tion. Added to which the extension of the scheme of Mechanics' Institutes, the growth of Public Museums, and the establishment of Free Libraries in the prin cipal towns and cities of the United lisingdom, all be tray most admirably the humane tendency and the rapid progress of what is popularly known as the March of Civilization. As an honourable, and re markable, and most appreciable incentive to which— we have now several of the most distinguished Men of Letters of the Age forsaking for a moment the seclusion where their intellects, as in a congenial at mosphere, have thriven and yielded fruit in abund ance, in order that they may by their voices, not less than by their pens, impart instruction to the masses of their fellow-countrymen—authors of world-wide celebrity who wisely regard the duties of the Lec turer as in no way derogating from the dignity of Literature. cherish the belief, that the people of England may not look in vain fur the abolition of the execrable Taxes upon Knowledge to the good sense, the enlighten ment, and, we may even add, the patriotism of the Earl of DERE - es Administration. The letter of Lord DENMAN, to which we gave in sertion in our impression of yesterday, will be read with profound interest, not only by members of the distinguished body of which the Noble Lord was one of the brightest ornaments, but by persons of all classes in society. " What course is the bar to take" under the present circumstances ? The inquiry is one of almost vital importance to the profession. It cannot be denied that its position has been greatly altered by recent legislation. The business at Westminster had materially fallen off since the establishment of local tribunals. The County Courts offered many unques tionable advantages to suitors. They were enabled, through its intervention, to obtain cheap and speedy justice administered at their very thresholds. The vexatious delays and ruinous expenses that frequently induced parties to relinquish well-founded claims rather than undergo the annoyance and responsibility incidental to their recovery, were in a great degree removed. Many persons were thus enabled to enforce satisfaction of debts that would otherwise have been wholly lost. The honest debtor, too, reaped a benefit. His original liability was nu longer quadrupled by the costs of its enforcement, and the presiding Judge was enabled, where indulgence was really required, to allow reasonable time, by directing the payment to be made by easy instalments. But while the new tribunals were so beneficial to the community in general, their operation was very injurious to the bar, more particularly to the junior practitioners. A large proportion of the business had been diverted into channels that were carefully closed against them. Any person, indeed, might have been heard, "by leave of the Court," except a barrister, but he was excluded, unless "instructed by an attor ney." The matter was no longer permitted to rest on professional etiquette, which might be altered if occasion required. It was made the subject of special enactment, and became a portion of the statute law of the land. This acted as a virtual prohibition to their employment ; for, first, cases were comparatively few where the client could bear the double expense of counsel and solicitor; and, secondly, in several districts, the attorneys,determined to monopolize the whole prac tice, entered into arrangements binding themselves not to retain a barrister under any circumstances, but rather, if the case were sufficiently important, to give briefs to members of their own branch of the profes sion. This unjustifiable combination naturally led to complaints on the part of the Bar, but they were com paratively helpless. Bound by the statutory provi sion, they could do nothing except endeavour to obtain the repeal of the obnoxious enactment. At first these attempts were unsuccessful. The jurisdiction of the County Courts was enlarged, and the local Judges were enabled to take cognizance of cases up to 501., and to any amount by consent of the parties. The Bar was, however, still restricted, and the same regulation so adverse to their interests was continued in full force, and also made applicable to plaints for sums between 20/. and 501. In the mean time, other causes were in operation, reducing their sources of income. Many useful reforms were car ried, abolishing justly and properly matters that brought many guineas and half-guineas to junior barristers, and enabling many to struggle through the probation to which they were subjected. And the Common Law Procedure Act of the present Session, abolishing " special pleading," and, " rules to com pute," and rendering unnecessary the signature of a barrister to any pleading, has completed the extinction of the minor fees. So far as these minor fees were concerned, every person must concur with Lord DENMAN in thinking that though the present loss of enrolment may bear hard upon individuals, no one—not even the barrister himself--could desire to revive the objectionable, the almost discreditable, items for which no service had been rendered, but which were simple " law taxes," created for the purpose of enabling the attorney, at the suitor's expense, to put a little money into the pocket of a barrister, his kinsman or his friend, and himself to take no small proportion of these profits. As Lord DENMAN remarks—" He" (the attorney) " made a charge for drawing the brief of instruction to do nothing; and another for waiting on counsel with the aforesaid brief." It was only very recently that a remarkable ora tion, as we may term it, upon the glory of " Know ledge," was delivered before the the members of the Literary Institution of Hertford, by Sir EDWARD BULWER LYTTON—assuredly one of the most illustri ous, as he is also one of the most indefatigable, writers of our generation. Actuated by a like motive, another of our celebrated literati has, we observe, an nounced his intention of aiding in a kindred manner the furtherance of the effort at general en lightenment. A Lecture is already advertised to be delivered upon the 28th of December at the Hull Literary and Philosophical Society, by the newly-appointed and but recently inaugurated Re corder of the borough—known so well and so widely by the power and pathos of his " Diary of a Late Physician," and perhaps still more by his masterly novel of " Ten Thousand a Year." The subject of the lecture is one, moreover, of an elevated and sug gestive character, namely, " The Intellectual Deve lopment of the Present Age"—a theme which natu rally extends through an almost bewildering variety of religious, literary, and philosophical considerations. With a statesman like the Earl of CARLISLE, and a man of letters like Mr. WARREN, and another of emi nent and comprehensive genius like Sir BULWER LYTTON, breathing instruction orally from the read iog-desks of the Literary Institutions of England, we may well deem not altogether extravagant that beau tiful hope which has been so long cherished amongst us, the hope that a social improvement, fraught with incalculable blessings, may result from the visible and audible spread of civilization. Henceforth, let not this hope be abandoned, even for an interval, as illu sory. COLUMBUS did not once forego as idle, even for a day or an hour, his vision of the unknown shores beyond the Atlantic : and was not the reward his arrival on that land, which he kissed when his foot first pressed the beach, and where he planted the standard of Spain in the name of his REDEEMER ? WATT never once faltered in maintaining as practic able the fabrication of the Fiery Dragon of Science : and has not his dream been more than realized in the miracles performed every instant around us by the product of his research and perseverance the steam-engine ? And shall we abandon as fu tile the aspiration of diffusing knowledge yet more widely than at present among the diffe rent classes of our population ? To do so now adays, would happily we believe, be as impos sible as it would assuredly be most flagrantly prepos terous. Much of the seed has already been sown broadcast. Every day the printing press is scattering it wider and more abundantly. As we have shown, moreover, there are writers amongst us of uncommon and admitted abilities, who are aiding the good work Rot merely by their pens, but by their voices in like manner. Iherefore, perhaps, it is that the thought now recurs to us snore painfully than ever, that we have still hanging darkly over the minds of the multi tude the influence of the accursed Taxes upon Know leege. Fortunately, the present Cabinet appears to have its literary sympathies, or rather, should we say, an accurate appreciation of the value and importance of literature. It has proved this already by more than one incident worthy of the popular remem brance. It has proved it by making ARCIIIBALD ALISON a Barcnet—by snaking G. P. R. JAMES her MAJESTY' S C onsu l at Norfolk in the United States — by giving a diplomatic appointment to the son of FORD, the author of the Handbook on Spain—by no minating SAMUEL WARREN ' the a pension by bestowing upon CAROLINE SOUTLIEY, and by several other ac t s of an equally significant de scription. Remembering thi s , we are disposed to But in the same session another enactment was passed, which, if judiciously and liberally carried into execution, may more than compensate the Bar for the loss of these " minor fees," while conferring a benefit on the County Court suitors. The provision which forbade the appearance of a barrister before the local tribunals, unless instructed by an attorney, was not only repealed, but he was specially authorized to ap pear without such instructions; while attorneys were forbidden to retain other attorneys as advocates. The policy of giving a fair proportion of County Court business to the Bar was thus distinctly recognized, and it remained to be seen how they would act under the circumstances. What course is the Bar to take ? in what manner and on what conditions is the advocate's assistance to be rendered ? are the questions to which Lord DENMAN applies himself; and a better adviser, or one more jealous of the honour and dignity of his profession, could not have been selected. He had evinced, on a memorable occasion, a spirit and deter mination that will long be the theme of admiratior, showing that no possible consequences could induce him to swerve from the straight path, or bend his in flexible sense of right. The deliberate opinion of such a man was indeed a matter of importance. It could not be formed on unworthy grounds, or in fluenced by improper motives. A great difference of opinion had previously pre vailed amongst barristers. Many considered that notwithstanding the enactment above referred to, the old etiquette should still be maintained. Mr. Cox, an eminent barrister, who has acquired a high reputation as a legal writer, has put forward these views with great clearness and ability, in a very im portant work, recently published.* Although we differ from the conclusion at which the learned gentle man has arrived, we willingly admit the ability dis played, and the propriety of the arguments advanced, and tender him our thanks for having elicited the important and interesting document, which will be received with respect by the whole Bar, and will pro bably remove the honest doubts that have been enter tained. Since the Earl of CARLISLE delivered those charm ing lectures of his upon the Genius of POPE, and upon the Condition of the United States, tkthe intel ligent working classes of Yorkshire, several men of distinguished abilities have displayed a similar readi ness to impart instruction, in like manner, to the industrious members of the population. The noble example of the patricisn has already, therefore, had its fruition, and we doubt not but that equal willing lien will be revealed to emulate the course pursued in this matter by the distinguished individuals here re ferred to, by others among their contemporaries whose names are the glories of our current literature. We hail th e circumstance as one no less honourable to the pr esent age than or than it is certainly calculated to pr ov e ad v antageous in its influence upon ,e after generations. We take it to be a token the grand onward movement of civilization. I welcomeit with the unaffected of ancient prejudices. Nvece of the r a pid di ss ipati on breaking consider it 16 be a remark able manifestation of the m e o aking down of the bar ri;rs which have hitherto, or less, divided the various classes of the cosu rn ,,Z precisely as the recognition 'of tl 3 :e ar ' "ng years r Europeans, e ith o t i s d of the negro some few race by England, the commencement of good to the still later regard shown towards the hoerreatsfthe despised Parsecs proclaimed the downfall African s or of the odious system of castes among the Asiatics, but more especially among the children of Hindostan. There are still, of course, thousands upon thousands of old bugbears to be got rid of hereafter; and this, more over, as much in the western as in the eastern hemi. sphere. Gon knows, there are abuses enough remain ing, even now, to be vanquished. GOD knows, much remains to be done still for the black man and for the red man, and not only for these, but for very many portions of the great and dominant family of the pale faces. How much reason there is, in the middle of this boasted nineteenth century, to call more loudly than of old for the b " a wawa of slavery, the world Lord DENMAII'3 opinion is, indeed, .conclusive on the point. After adverting to the repeal of the pro vision by Act of Parliament, which probably " de tected something absurd in the enforcement of professional etiquette by QUEEN, Loans, and COMMONS, and, besides, might doubt the pro priety of maintaining an etiquette which would have necessitated a double outlay by the suitor, and so have run the risk of denying justice to the injured, " he adds, "If the etiquette ca nno t b e e made matter of law, can it be expected to est a bli s h itself in this new state of things, by virtue o f an agreement, ei a t r he; express d o noortimplied,hesitat to declar e my among the mem bers of the B opinion, founded on exp e r ience a s well as reflection, that it cannot, and there fo r e, feel i t to be unnecessary to enter on that difficult inquiry what practice ought to be agreed on ?" his Lordship then lays down the principle which will command universal assent, " That all interference of authority with the freedom of actions, not in themselves wrong, is to be avoided as an evil, and one that most commonly ag gravates whatever evil it was designed to correct. The forum tionz•sticum, to which the profession paid allegiance as a band of brothers, can hardly maintain its authority over a family so widely diffused, so indefinitely multiplied. Without rules the honourable man will act cerrectly, and none will restrain those of an opposite character. We trust that the result of this admirable letter will be the formation of regular Bars in all the more important County Courts. We are certain that tl e regular attendance of barristers would lead to a better administration of justice; that it would be profitable to themselves, beneficial to the suitors, aye, and even to the Attorneys themselves, whatever they may now think on the subject. We are convinced that it is for the interests of both branches of the legal profession —they are one and indivisible, and that the most "The Advocate: His Training, I'racticc, Rights, and Duties."

The combination to which we alluded, nearly bred dissension ; but now that it is totally removed, and, indeed, no longer practicable, we earnestly hope that perfect peace may be restored, and that the per sons who endeavour to breed disputes or to excite jealousies, may be regarded as common enemies, to to be carefully avoided, and their insidious counsels treated with contempt or indifference. LAW INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY). MONEY AND COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. At Liverpool, yesterday, the cotton market was not very active. The sales included 1000 bales of Ameri can, which were taken for e.xportation, and 8000 on speculation. Prices were firm. Railway shares were steady, but rather quiet. The Inland Revenue department has given answer to inquiries made, that all chicory retailed must have on the packages the name of the last seller. It cannot be used either, in its raw state, in a room entered for the storeage or sale of coffee. Nor must a room used for roasting coffee be made available for packing chicory. The foreign advices aro very good in reference to the state of the produce markets. At llamurgh, on Friday last, the demand for sugar, coffee, and cotton was brisk, at fuller rates. Discounts were to 4 per cent. The rate of exchange on London dropped to 13, 31- In stocks and shares a moderate business was done. Stocks are very firm this morning although there is not a large business doing. Consols realise 1008 to for money, and account Bank Stock is more buoyant, being quoted 223} to 2241-.

The price of the Turkish Scrip comes low still from Paris, but there is evidently a very limited mar ket for it there. The dealings here have been at 34 to 31 prem. Mexican Bonds have drooped again, having been as low as 24l 1 then up to 24 and being now again 24 to g; Ls arises from the very unfavourable political state of the Republic, and the apprehension that the renewed disturbances will still more embarass the finances of the Government. Peruvian Bonds are higher, being 103 to 104 k. Buenos Ayres have risen to 80 and 82. Spanish Three per Cents. are firm at 51k to 52, and the Deferred at 251 to g. The Committee's Certifi cate is at 34 1, prem. Belgian Four-and•a-Half per Cents are 95. The Swedish Loan is not better than dis. to par. - The railway Share Market is looking up again, and a fair business is doing in most of the English lines. French Shares are also at very full prices, though not particularly brisk. The settlement in the Upper India Shares is in progress, and the shares are being freely taken up by strong parties. The Gold Mines are steady. The Cordillera Set tlement is, by order of the Committee of the Stock Exchange, to take place next Friday. Upon the state and prospects of the Railway Mar - ket, Messrs. Lamond give the following information " An almost uninterrupted rise has taken place in Railway Shares, and the amount of business transacted has been very large. So great an activity in this de partment has necessarily created some fluctuations, but they have been wholly unimportant, compared with the decided movement made by the jobbers, towards estab lishing a greater advance in these securities. The prospects of traffie, the abundance of money, and the revival of confidence among the public is this descrip tion of negociable property, has stimulated the the market to such an extent that the Shares of every Company has benefited to some de gree, and English, French, and Belgian, have severally secured an amount of attention that has scarcely been witnessed since the great period of 1845-46. But while this is the case, and although a studied attempt has been made to enlist sympathy in various new projects, started with attractive allurements, in the shape of guaranteed dividends, the endeavour has wholly failed, and the mass of undertakings presented are either not quoted at all, or at such a miserable premium, as plainly to indicate the kind of reception they have re ceived. It is evident, therefore, that capitalists and others are not ready to encourage a universal mania, and appear solely inclined to direct their outlay l e Shares which pay a dividend, or promise, from the ascertained nature e f the line and locality, to yield, at no distant date, a fair return. Prompted by considerations of this nature, the reason is easily ascertained for the absorption in such a channel of the entire business of the market. French and Belgian Shares, in an astonishing degree, preserve their buoyancy. Even in the middle of the month, when a sudden check was given to the various schemes, the decline in French was trifling, and was speedily recovered. The advance has since been rapid, and has been fully maintained, with out any immediate symptom of reaction. With regard to English undertakings, preparations for amal gamation between the London and North-Western, and Midland and Chester and Holyhead Companies, the York, Newcastle and Berwick, the York and North Midland, and Leeds Northern Companies, have been mooted, which has caused them to improve, although it is yet questioned whether a proper fusion of interests can be accomplished. The vacancy occasioned by the retirement of Mr. G. C. Glyn from the Chairmanship of the London and North-Western remains open, and not withstanding many successors have been named, no ac tual selection has been effected."

TRIBUTE TO LORD RAGLAN.—We understand from officers of rank in the army (says the United Service Gazette), that it is in contemplation to propose, for the ac ceptance of Lord Raglan, a splendid and suitable memorial of the grateful sense entertained by them of his efficient public services, during the many years in which he fulfilled the important and laborious duties of Military Secretary to the illustrious Commander, who is so soon to be followed to his grave by the attendant sorrow of the whole British nation, and of the sympathetic respect of all Europe.

Colston ' Esq., D.C.L., one o f th e sen i or F e ll ows o f New College.

QUEEN'S BENCH. The Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Coleridge, Mr. Justice Wightman, and Mr. Justice Erle, took their seats on the bench shortly before two o'clock. There was a very full attendance of counsel; but although the Lord Chief Justice went through the bar, no motion was made of sufficient public interest to justify a report. BAIL COURT.

The inquiry was interesting from some peculiar circumstances connected with deceased. He is reported to have died worth a princely fortune, without a relative in the world. H e was a single gentleman, and had as his sole companion for the last 16 years a gentlemen named Mr. Alpheus Carpenter Billings, who is the 'whole executor to his will, and with whom he resided at Gloucester Villa, which is furnished in the most costly style, and the walls covered with pai n ti ngs of a most rare and valuable description.

SUSPECTED MURDER By POISON IN EssEx.--In consequence of a report that a woman named Sarah Lister, who died two years and a half since at North Ockenden, village about s i x miles from Brentwood, had come to her death by unfair means, an enquiry was set on foot, which resulted in suspicion being attached to her husband, James Lister, a farm labourer, who now acts as ostler at the White Hart public-house in the neighbourhood, and who is about 40 years of age. Oa Friday last the body, which was in a state of decomposition, was disinterred, and the stomach removed for analysis by Professor Taylor. A coroner's jury subsequently met at the White Hart, where it appeared from the evidence that the pains suffered by the deceased at her death closely resembled those which are caused by poison, and that the accused was often in the habit of ill-using her. The inquiry was adjourned for a few days, until Professor Taylor makes his report. ANOTHER SLIP ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAIL..
