Therefore the pauper- ' dowagers, the feeble Ladies CONSTANCE and the feebler Ladies PLANTAGENET, and the Honourable Misses—amiable Sexagenarians !—ought to know that if public charity pensions, , eeds, and lodges them, it is out of the poor man's labour that their ease comes. To know this, by such a reflective process as Thought, is far beyond the mental power and calibre of the faded flutterings 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 fool 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 shillings per acre used to go ? The landowner must not reap more than his proper share of benefit from the altered condition of things. ELF, also, is greatly ad v a n t a ged , in his e x p en dit u re, by Free Trade ; his household ex penses are a third less than they used to be ;—v i h a t claim has he, also, besid es this g ain, to have the yshillings be o f additional advantage of undiminished rental from his as s lan m d u ? ch l v f a t l o ae h , im in , e a x s e t h o s nothers,for t we n articlest of consump,. tion, as thirty shillings used to be, why should he be so unjust as to expect and demand the larger amount from his tenants ? To sum up the argument in one interrogation— Why does he not reduce his Rents ? Protection, if it mean anything now, im plies nothing more nor less than keeping up the rent of land. It would be easy to show how and why this is —but we can we the explana tion on a future occasion. Meanwhile, we ask any man of common sense, whether the DERBY Ministry, including as it does a c lever leader and many clever followers, all of whom must k now 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 SAMUEL JOHNSON, the author of that Dictionary, by which, single-handed, pitted against the Academie of Franca, (to quote GOLDSMITH'S graceful compliment)— "Ile beat forty Frenchmen, and would bent forty more!" No, Protection is defunct. Not all the force cf 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-cheekßd childran ! What is the cui bono of these remarks ? Only this, that whoever may continue to cherish the ex pectation, vague as vain, that the Earl of DERBY and his Cabinet will hold on by a shred of Protection, will be awfully disappointed when Parliament meets. A lively quadruped confidentially confided to Cap tain iliaaat SMITH, of the Kentucky sharp-shooting rifles, that he was " a gone coon," and requested him to spire 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, being voted " 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 idinistry are most anxious to assist 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 Lord DERBY 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 lized 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 as its executors. An excellent resume of the recent Chancery and other Law Reforms has just been issued by the Me tropciitan and Provincial Law Association, which, from its clearness and fulness, is entitled to every commendation. It is a common, and ought to be a n exploded error, that lawyers are opposed to law re form. Of all persons, professional men are the be s t fitted, by actual knowledge and experienc e , t o sug gest practical improvements in the theory and work ing of the Common and Statute Law. Without going back too far, we may mention th a t J EEEMY BENTHAM, who sought to introduce common sense into law making, was himself a lawyer—that SAMUEL ROMILLY, so long at the head of his profession, la boured earnestly and strongly for the re f orm of the Criminal Law—that IlEeiriat BROUGHAM, whose efforts as a law reformer have gained him unfeding honour, bas effected his chief improvements by reason of the experience gained at t he bar and o n the Woolsack —that Lords DENMAN, LANGDALE, and C AMPBELL 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 charges within thc 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 solicitors 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 to be followed by a corresponding increase of business." Indeed in law, as in trading, the cheaper the article the greater the demand for it. In Equity, during the past Session of Parliament, three i mportant A cts h ave been carried, by which it is hoped that some of the principal abuses in the pe ac e tice of the Courts will be abolished—abuses, " for the removal of which," says the Circular, "the Committee have earnestly laboured from the first establishment of the Metropolita n and Provincial Law Association." First comes the abolition of the office of Master in Chancery, and throwing upon the Judges the duties that have hitherto devolved upon those subordinate officers. The Committee remark that they have still ii so me fear that the wholly insufficient number of Ju d ges provided for bringing the new practice into operation may be the means of occasi on i ng some confusion in the business of the Court, and t h a t thus the practice may become di s credited before it has recei ve d a fair trial. " They add (and the r emarks are well worthy of grave consi deration)----`, The business already in th e Courts has A quite as much as could be got through Masters, and the Masters' Clerks, been feuh , A although the Masters are only re yet by this Act, the business already in their offices by the Judges, the tained to wind 1 1 P into operation, never theless, no increase is ma i i n n g t h e number of Judges at the time of the to enable them to perform the Judges is less new duties cast upon of Clerks to . them, and the number The Commit- Act coming than the number of Masters' Clerks. tee believe that the business might, un der the new system, and with a sufficient ' e , and espeditiou sl y judicial force, be dis posed of much more satisfactorti j than herei,ofore,; but they cannot see how the Judges , who have been hard-worked hitherto, and have been unable to keep down arrears, can, if th e y devote proper time t o Chamber business, prevent the arrears from accumulating. The Committee, therefore, felt Houses it to b e th e i r duty to cal l t h e attent i on of both of Parliament to this, and prepared a clause for in creasing the nunieer of Judges, which was moved when tie Bill was in Committee in the House of Cemcnoes, but rejected. A report has reached the Committee that it is the intention of the Judges to do but littl e at chambers; but the Committee cannot believe that the Judges will pursue a course which would inevitably defeat the intention of the Legisla ture, and the fair expectation of the public." The Improvement of the Jurisdiction of Equity lAct is one of the fruita of the past session. The Committee report that in their opinion all those I changen in the practice Of the Court will be of great advantage to the suitor, with the exception of the ? provision which substitutes printed for written bills or claims. This, " instead of an improvement, will create inconvenience, delay, and expense "—probably, however,the CUA.NCELLOR 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• tutes 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, a'ad there is no reason why in Bankruptcy, of the number of official assignees, leaving al so, theoneotfo ficers should not be sa l ar i e d . T he reduct i on eachcourt allowances, a compensations , treasurer, is Salaries to the retiring retiringas well as remaining officials can be paid, without any charge on the Public Revenue, out of the immense accumulations from Unredeemed Dividends in bank rupts' estates. It is only justice to add that some of 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. Oar 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, te as fast tending to create dissension among barristers end attorneys. Nor can we think that, by the section in question, the interests of the attorney will be iejurc,cl. So long as the attorneys give the barristers their fair proportion of the business, they will find no intrusion on their deprzrtment. 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 dimini s h es th e d e l ay an d expense of legal proceedings, without i n t ro d uc i ng uucer r l inty of deci sion, impairing the authority of the Courts, or lower ing the high standard of the judicial bench, is a vein ab!e boon conferred upon the community at large." There must be sweeping changes in the Ecclesiastical Law, involving the total abolition of the tribunals which have earned such unenviable reputation. The Bankruptcy system must be made simpler in its pro cesses, speedier is its work, and less expensive in its charges. Courts of Law and Equity must be amal keplace, t h a t t h , e Fps pc u n b l i w c g w a i m l a h t a e v d e continued. Utthinkingta il these cau c s b e a changes e s administered, law is not justice. Variable as the accounts received from the pro vinces have latterly been in reference to the ap proaching harvest, it h a ppily appears at the 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 o f a body of soldiers to assist the agri cultural labourers in reaping —thereby figuratively changing the sword into the sickle, if not the spears into reaping-hooks. 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 FUENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Illoniteur announces that two treaties have been signed between France and Belgium by M. DROUYN DE LaUTS on the one hand, and MM. Ito , GIER 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 hooks, prints, engravings, &c. ; and the other makea some reductions in the duty now imposed on a few Belgian articles. These two conventions are to be ratified on December 10, and, 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 sang 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 also denies the truth of the statement made in the Morning Herald relative to this affair. Cardinal WISEMAN is at Cambrai, where on 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 sieging general. Both these pieces justicatives have been solemnly placed—the one in the church, the other on the ramparts. In the procession a number of young maidens in opera-girl muslin, with wings glued to their shoulders, personified angels. Amongst the relics was a monster crown, given to the Church by that monster King Louis XI., whose crime and superstition have been ren dered 1' familiar in the "Quentin Durward" of Scorr. ' Military bands accompanied the procession. That the spectacle did not take is acknowledged by the writer from whose enthusiastic account, addressed to the Government journal, the Patrie, we borrow these detail s vvhich there Pweaosple ') " In a word, the procession was admirable, and leaves barr t e h - e f i 4 A i b iee ' l l_in e , it . anything that the most brilliant se3ular lime bad could have attempted.

MARCHAND'ENNERY, grand rabbi of the central conF.istory of the Jews of France, died on Saturday last. _ The receipts of the different theatres, spectacles, concerts, &c., of Paris, for the month of July, amounted to 463,121 f. 35c., being a decrease, as com pared with June, of 225,103 f. 6 c., an d 555 ,1 89 f. 60 c. l ess than in May, when the receipts amounted to 1,018,310 f. 95c. It must be, however, mentioned that in May all the theatres were open, while in July the Odeon, the Theatre Lytique,the Ambigu, and the Gaite were closed. The Moniteur contains the following report from the Minister of Marine, addressed to the PRINCE PRESI DENTOf the Republic : _ . Monseigneur,—Concentration of forces and unity of direction increase naval power. The policy of France and the interest of our commerce require that the ves sels of the State show themselves on all the seas of the globe; but the more our stat i ons are scat t ere d or multi plied, the more necessary it L2comes that they should, at a given moment, be able to reunite, to concentrate their means of action, and to range themselves under the authority of a single chief. You have already autho rised me to place under the same command our two naval divisions of India and of Chino. I have the honour to propose to you to reunite under the authority of the same chief our two stations of Western America and the Pacific, and to confide the superior command to Ad miral Febvrior Despoi tites ._l hive, &c., (Signed) " THEODORE Ducos."

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at from 5,000 to 6,000 bales, of which 500 Ame rican were taken on speculation. The market was firm. The sales comprised 4,0'00 American, 600 Bahia at 6id. to 74d., 400 Egyptian at 6d. to 9d., and 300 Surat at 3fd. to 48d. per lb.—Railtvay Shares were dull at lower prices. The Corn Market is firm to-day. The following report upon the Silk market is fur nished by Mr. W. Eaton:— "Since my report of ehe Ist instant the Silk market has been extremely quiet. China Silk, in the early part of the month, fully participated in the general inactivity, but during last week 300 , T saltees, chiefly of good and middling quality, have changed hands, establishing a reduction upon the last quotation of about Is. per lb. This, however, has not had the effect of inducing buyers to come forward as freel yas 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 be 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. In Bengals there is no new feature. About 500 bales will be landed in a low days. The letters last re ceived from Calcutta re port tho market as fairly active, and prices firm. Th e E xze h ange was there a l so operat i ng 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, itlmost tenantless. The whole number remaining under treatment when the steamer Alliance came up, on Wednesday, being two men. While the New Yorl r papers have been filled with accounts of e,ckness and mortality this spring, among emigre:eta (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 the medical superintendent to the amendments to the Imperial Passenger Law, to the excellent regulations of the Commissioners, and to the better class of passengers, who now emigrate to our shores. The route to the fsar west by the St. Lawrence is likely to be generally tal :en by Germans and Nor wegians in future. tipvvarids of thirty vessels filled with them have arrived this season, and several are still ex pected."

The meeting of Portugi iose bondholders is now taking place at the London Tav xrn, and their committee have submitted a very elaborwtG, report concerning past pro ceedings.
