Then the speaker changes his tack again, and concludes by saying, "Would they tell him that the £5 holder was not just as liable to that sort of corruption as the £lO holder? , Would they tell him that if they lowered the franchise they did not at the same moment give a greater opportunity to the tempter? How was it that they remained quies cent under that state. of things? How was it that they submitted to the degradation, and still cried out for Reform, when it was quite certain that Reform would give them an increase of intimida tion and an increase of bribery ?" It may be that this reasoning was connected in the speaker's mind in some way with the question of the ballot, but it is certainly rather a singular argument for a popu lar Liberal M.P..at this moment. We must have the ballot, because the working men who would be brought into the constituent bodies under the new franchise would be more easily intimidated and more accessible to bribery than the present ten-pound householders. Are the working men to frame and glaze and hang up in their sitting-rooms this dictum of the veteran Liberal ? On the whole we are in clined to see in the speech of Mr. Berkeley the re flection and the doubts which beset even the most stubborn minds when a great decision is to be taken. The foundations of the political structure under which we have lived in honour and prosperity are to be relaid, and all who value the edifice are inclined to seriousness and moderation. " Compare this country with any other country," exclaims Mr. Berkeley, "and they would find a better state of things here, and that more liberty existed, and re-. volution, therefore, to them would be ruin." This is the spirit in which an honest Member of Parlia ment ought VI speak, and though it is "difficult to connect the sentence with Mr. Berkeley's argument, he is entitled to commendation for having uttered it. Sir Morton Peto was frank in his acknowledg ment that he was not anxious for a Reform Bill last Session. He had recommended a Commission, and that the Reform Bill should be postponed for a year, because with seventeen years' experience of Parlia ment he knew thatin a newly-elected House of Com mons, with 200 new men, no measure would be re ceived with favour which tended to send them back to their constituents. There was not, he thinks, any strong feeling in the country for a bill at the beginning of last session, and the feeling in the house was quite the other way. To turn to the future, Sir Morton Peto, like his colleague, will accept a bill from the Conservative Government. Though he does not expect a sound Reform Bill from such a source, yet if such a bill be produced he is pre pared to accept it, and where it is wanting he is prepared to , add to it what is wanting. Thus with sufficient reason and moderation speaks the second Member for Bristol on the eve of one of the most important periods in our national history, and we have reason to believe that he expresses the opinions of the great bulk of the Liberal party. POST.—The rumours which float iu the atmo sphere of our courtsare occasionally as unsubstantial as the meteors which the other night flashed across the heavens. We do not know what amount of truth ;s to be attachad to the statement which has recently appeared, that her Majesty's Ministers intend to divide some of the circuits and to appoint three addi tional common law judges. These changes, how ever desirable in themselves, cannot be effected without the intervention of Parliament, and there- fore the question will no doubt receive ample discus sion. It may be admitted the existing arrangements of the circuits is inconvenient, and that with the progress of population and wealth the fifteen judges are oppressed with an amount of labour which it is Unfair to impose upon men who have generally passed the meridian of life before they reach the Judicial bench. The question, however, must not be con sidered solely in reference to the comforts of the judges or the interest of the profession. The public are the great sufferers. Cases which have been pre pared for trial at great trouble and expense are de layed from one assize to another, or arc referred to arbitration, because the judge has no time to hear them. It may, therefore, be desirable on every ground to make the proposed change; and if the Government were to let it be known that the three additional judges would be selected from the most eminent men at the bar, without regard to political allegiance or party services, we think the House of Commons would not begrudge the annual sum of £15,000 for so useful and beneficial a purpose. But if the claims of the common law courts for addi tional judicial strength are thus to be recognised, there are other tribunals of equal importance the judges of which are quite as much over worked—tribunals in which arrears are accumu lating to an extent almost unknown in recent times. We allude, of course, to the Court of Chancery, with its six separate branches, presided over respectively by the Lord Chancellor, the Lords Justices, the Master of the Rolls, and the three Vice-Chancellors. Notwithstanding the industry and energy displayed by these judges arrears have accumulated, and must continue to accumulate unless some relief be afforded. The arrears are not confined to the appellate business, but extend to the ordinary business taken by the Master of the Rolls and the Vice-Chancellors in court and in chambers. The pressure arises chiefly from the multitude of winding-up cases which literally choke up the court. It would seem as if voluntary or compulsory liquidation is to be the Nemesis of the rash and wild spirit of speculation which the system of limited liability has facilitated. In saying this we do not depreciate limited liability, but we only condemn the manner iu which it has been applied by design ing persons to foist upon the eredulous public under takings which never -had the slightest chance of permanent success. The great panic which occurred in the spring of this year has brought to the court a vast crop of these visionary undertakings, the only valuable portions of which will be gathered by soli citors and official liquidators. The latter are almost invariably professional accountants, and it may be hoped that early next session some patriotic mem ber of Parliament will call for a return showing the sums actually received by these gentlemen. The Judges' Chambers and the courts themselves are filled with these winding-up cases. UnfortUnate shareholders who are made liable for calls either engage in litigation (that is, appeal from the chief clerk's decision) to postpone the day of payment, or, if they have no property, adopt the short and convenient mode of filing a petition in Bank ruptcy, and thus get rid of the call altogether. The ordinary business of the court is neces sarily seriously impeded, and the glut which pre vails in the Judges' Chambers extends even to the Appellate Court. We therefore would urge that the present condition of the Court of Chan cery requires the attention of the Government just as much as the state of the common law courts. Another evil quite independent of the arrears arises from the circumstance that the chief clerks are most improperly permitted to exercise judicial func tions. When the office of Master in Chancery was abolished by the Act of 1852, Parliament never contemplated that the office would be restored only under another name. The Masters in Chancery were lawyers of position at the bar. The chief clerks are only attorneys. No doubt they are respectable and intelligent men: They were intended to make in quiries and to perform other ministerial duties as mere clerks to the judges. They have, however, been permitted to decide cases, and the judges, as a rule, almost invariably confirm their clerks' certifi cates. These persons, therefore, now discharge the duties which formerly belonged to the Masters. They are practically entrusted with the conduct of the winding-up business—they make orders for and suspend calls—they settle the list of contributories, and all this in addition to the usual business which passes through the Judges' Chambers. The late Sir James Graham and Mr. Henley, who were members of the Chancery Commission, stated several years ago that they never contemplated that the chief clerks would have been permitted to assume and exercise such powers, and that it would be infinitely better to appoint an additional Vice-Chancellor than to sanction the settlement of important questions by a clerk in Chambers, before whom, of course, no barrister would appear. Under these circum stances her Majesty's Government may well consider whether it would not be desirable to act upon the suggestion just referred to, and to appoint an additional Vice-Chancellor to have exclusive pri• mary jurisdiction in winding-up cases, and to act as judge of the Court of Bankruptcy. The experi ence of the last five years has proved that a chief judge in bankruptcy is absolutely necessary to give consistency, uniformity, and dignity to the admi nistration of the bankruptcy law. The winding up of the estates of insolvent joint-stock companies and of insolvent persons are matt ers so cognate as naturally to fall within the jurisdiction of one tri bunal. \Then it is proposed for the benefit of the public to appoint three additional common law judges, we cannot refrain from putting in a plea for an additional Vice-Chancellor w hose services under that name, or as ju d g e of the court of com mercial causes, arc urgently required to relieve the Court of Chancery from its present oppressed state, and thus to confer a benefit upon the community at large.

At present nearly 500 Nights' Lodgings, with Suppers and Breakfasts, aro given gratuitously every week. The poor from all parts are admitted, the only condition being that they are homeless and starving. The Manager &c., receives no remuneration whatever.

TlMES.—Accurate in their periods as any astro nomical phenomenon come the autumn banquets, at which popular members and local magnates pro pound their opinions on the great questions and oc topics debated duri ng the theGSeivsseinon, currences of the d ay , predict for weeks b e f ore what w ill summer at home an d a b roa d , and the principal events of the succeeding evenin g o f Octo b er an d November. one b e might said a u l m e a o e s b t Colston's-day in Bristol furnishes one of these gatherings at which the speeches are rather more readable than usual, for philanthropy does not fuse all the Bristolians in a flat and unmeaning accord ; but there are a Conservative Society and a Liberal Society, each of which reverences the common bene factor, while prepared to do on the proper occasion stern battle with the other. The speeches of the Liberal Society generally make their way into print, we know not why, except that perhaps the world expects our old friend, Mr. 11. Berkeley, to say something which it would n ot willingly let die. This year we have had a very fair speech from Sir Morton Peto, and a speech which we have endeavoured without success to understand from the great cham pion of the Ballot. Mr. Berkeley, as the senior member, has the first place. After " dropping some mental tears," to use his own poetical expres sion, upon those Colstonians 'who had been taken away since the last dinner, Mr. Berkeley made haste to the subject of the past and coming Re form Bills. So far from being surprised that hon. members, or after-dinner speakers generally, should at once begin upon Reform, we are rather inclined to wonder that they should ever leave off, for no other subject with which we are acquainted can be talked about for any given length of time with such ease by any gentleman who takes the trouble to read the papers. From these not very recondite sources he can learn all about Yarmouth and Totnes, the agitations of Mr. Bright and Mr. Beales, the solemn conclaves and the deter mined reticence of the Government, the prudent retirement of Mr. Gladstone, and feel certain that he knows as much as any Statesman or any States man's private secretary in the kingdom. We do not complain, then, that Mr. Berkeley should have talked all the time about Reform, but merely wish that his ratiocination had been a little more intel ligible. He begins by expressing the determination, in which all but a small minority of the Liberal party are agreed, to wait for Mr. Disraeli's bill before joining in any party move against the Go vernment. As for Mr. Gladstone's bill of last ses sion, he had great doubts wheth a e o r oe i p t t e e o d u i l t d a s s u a ce s e te e p d y will accept the t o o n s i o ts m e o t w h i n n ~,n O .l e b r e i t t s t , or a . n d s h o e o b t o il Con servative bill. In this Mr. Berkeley is almost osten tatiously Liberal. "If Lord Derby should produce a measure of Reform which he thought even one on ward step, it would receive his support," for he " is for measures, not men." But he greatly doubts whether he will bring in any measure of Reform, and, if he does, he believes it will be so hollow and deceitful that it will fail from the opposition of the Liberal party. So far Mr. Berkeley speaks the ordinary and conventional language of his political section. But then he changes his tone, tells us that not sufficient credit has been given to the electoral body as it now exists, and bids his friends " see the noble struggle which their £lO men had made in that city against electoral corruption." This, how ever, is only to draw the contrast between the vir tuous citizens of Bristol on the one hand, who and vote for Mr. Ber. - struggle against intimidation PRICE 4d. STAMPED BANK OF FRANCE.

(Signed) ROULAND. The Jamaica Committee and Mr. Coleridge. -.....--.... We are requested by the Jamaica Committee to publish the following correspondence which has passed between Messrs. Shaen and Roscoe, their soli citors, and Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., with reference to the retainer which was accepted by the latter gen tleman from the Committee, but objected to by Mr. Rose. The first letter was addressed by Messrs. Shaen and Roscoe to Mr. Coleridge : 8, Bedford-iow, Nov. 2. Dear Sir, —ln reference to the objection which has been taken by Mr. Rose to the retainer which we have left with you on behalf of the Jamaica Committee, we of course have no wish to take any opinion or decision except your own, and in reference to it we venture to submit that the Ja maica Committee, as is well known from its advertisements and other printed papers, consists of Messrs. J. S. Mill, M.P., P. A. Taylor, M.P., treasurer ; F. W. Cho: sou, hon. secretary, and others ; and that if they are incapable of re taining counsel, it must, of course, be upon grounds equally applicable to all other voluntary societies. As a matter of fact such societies have Leen constantly in the habit of tendering retainers, which have been as constantly accepted and acted upon by counsel for many years. Some mouths ago Mr. E. James, Q.C., M.P., and Mr. Fitzjames Stephen accepted retainers on behalf of the Jamaica Committee. It is, perhaps, not altogether imma terial that in this particular case, after we had left the re tainer at your chambers, a correspondence ensued in refe rence to it which resulted in a Rote from yourself, intimat ing that you accepted the retainer. As amatter of reason it is frequently quite as important to a voluntary association to retain the services of counsel as to a corporate body or an individual. It is unnecessary to do more than refer to the litigation which has of late years been becoming more and more frequent and important, con nected with provisional committees for the formation of joint-stock companies. In Chancery, indeed, voluntary associations are every day parties to litigation, as they are also as individual members in the courts of common law. We happen at the present moment to be engaged in a case of considerable importance in Chancery in which the Bishop of Natal is plaintiff, while the defendants aro the counsel of the Colonial aishopric Fund, a voluntary body without any incorporation or legal status todistinguish it from the Jamaica Committee. If the objection is good, it is good against all voluntary associations, and this would, in fact, outlaw all societies for the promotion of literature, science, and the fine arts, and all clubs, and all the numerous societies which are formed for the express purpose of enforcing certain branches of the law, such as the Society for the Suppression of Vice, for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, the Society for the Protection of Women, dm. Should you deem it advisable that the question shall be submitted to the Attorney-General, we shall be glad if you will kindly lay before him this letter as what we have to say on the subject.—We are, dear sir, yours faithfully, (Signed) SHAEN AND ROSCOE. To this Mr. Coleridge replied as follows : Westminster Hall, Nov. 3. Dear Sirs—l consider your retainer binding, and, for my own part, think there is nothing at all in Mr. Rose's objec tion. I shall take no steps in the matter, but if lam told by the Attorney-General that I am bound as a matter of professional rule to act for Mr. Eyre, of course I must do so. I can hardly conceive he will do so, and I shall not myself ask him any questions. Why, under the circum stances, it is thought the least worth while on either side to contest the matter I cannot understand ; but that is no concern of mine. —Believe me to be, your faithful servant, (Signed) J. D. COLERIDGE. On learning the decision of the Attorney-Gene ral, Mr. Shaen wrote the following letter to Mr. Coleridge : Nov. 10. Dear Sir,—The Attorney-General has stated it to be his opinion that the retainer of Mr. Rose does, and that the retainer of my firm does not, prevail. I took the liberty of requesting the Attorney-General to let me know the grounds of his opinion, but he declined to do so, saying that such a course was not usual. If you consider yourself bound by this opinion I inu . s_t n o_f course subMit, but I respectfully protest, on behalf of 1 ,2, clients, that they ought not, on unexplained an h d un be `; grounds, - to lose the benefit of a retainer wiiiii,c,,ys lots under given and accepted in good faith. I stood that the relations between c ou h u a sel e t a t fonnded, not upon any law of contract, . but of the bar, hon ourable understanding, and that the etiquette to retainers, was which 1 presume regulates the practeictLudu ct u nbecoming designed only to protect counsel from antdillnitelti hweeere. gentlemen. If lam right in thist,he the retainer which was given in nhich cannot be upset by the an honourable understanding w tautially that of another vceansetubrye i t i o iy s t u i t b i n n ii f t e t r h m a s t offer of a retainer which is subs ()god you in vain to lend a me.

SIIAEN. Mr. Coleridge replied as follows : The Athenaeum, Nov. 12. Dear Sirs,—l regret the decision at which the Attorney- General has arrived, but you will remember I told you some time ago that, whatever his decision, I should feel myself bound by it, whether I agreed with it or not. I muat adhere to that determination. I cannot set myself against the authority of the head of the bar, in a matter as to which he is the recognised judge. 1 hope you will see, as plainly as I do, that it is really of extremely little con sequence.—Believe me to bo your faithful servant. (Signed) • J. D. COLERIDGE. Messrs. Shaen and Roscoe. - . • L. G ~z~GJ The Attorney-General and Sir Morton MCI at Bristol. - 0 Tuesday being the anniversary of Edward Col ston, it was celebrated in Bristol with the customary demonstrations. The friends of the Dolphin Society (Conservative) dined at the Victoria Rooms, under the presidency of Major Bush, and the Anchorites (Liberal) dined at the new St. James's Hall, Grey hound Hotel, Broadmead. Sir J. ROL; M.P., replied to the toast of " Her Majesty's Ministers," given at the Dolphin Society's dinner. The it torneY-General, on rising, was received with loud applause. After some preliminary remarks, he said the toast told him that they not only permitted but encouraged the introduc tiOn of political topics —(hear, hear) —especially those hav ing reference to those great Conservative awl Liberal prin ciples with which they were all identified. (Hear, hear.) Now, he did not think he should be wrong in pronouncing the political era in which they lived one of the most im portant long known in this land. He was aware it was the tendency of human nature always to magnify the import ance of the present moment—to forget the difficulties of the past, while their political vision was not strong enough 14. see into the future; and therefore they were often too dis posed to think there was something special and peculiar in the present moment, and that they had trials to which they had not been subjected before. But making allowance for all this, ho would venture to think—and c3uld not too much impress it on those present—that they were living in au era of the greatest importance and danger to their Constitution, (Hear, hear.) And he would tell them why ho thought so. The wisdom,.firmuess, and moderation of their ancestors had given them aConstitution 'consisting of a mixed monar chy, under which they had obtained an intellectual, civil, and religious freedom in a degree and manner which cer tainly never before existed in the known world. Coupled with this there had been from time immemorial, as the founda tion of all civil society, a recognition of the rights of pro• _ . perty, the supremacy of law and order amidst all our free dom. (Hear.) Their freedom had never degenerated into licentiousness. That being so, he would say that the pre,. - sent *as an era of importanee, because democracy - was mak ing a desperate effort to take the stronghold of our Con stitution, and notwithstanding the large measures and in fluence of democracy in their councils, it would not be satisfied unless it got the absolute ascendancy. (Hear.) The learned gentleman then drew a comparison between the theory of the present political agitators and the practi cal results that would follow the adoption of their views, and contended that the trades unions wore beginning to merge into one-:the questions of the rights of labour and the rights of property. Political economists and theorists led those whom they addressed to believe that if they car ried universal suffrage, and extonled their number in the [louse of Commons, all they needed would be obtained, and the rights of labour being triumphant, they could attack their rights of capital and properly. (Hear.) It was this par tisanship between the theoretical politician and the trades unionist that be so much dreaded, and which he believed was making steady advances. But he believed also that all classes of the commuuiiy, and of all politics except ex- treme politicians, seeing the danger in which they were placed, were endeavouring to oppose the movement. (Lear, hear.) Should this movement sucemUie _bupposes they would begin by abolishing the laws of primogeniture. The next step would be to stop settling property on the next generation. All that could be done at present. Then they would be deprived of the power of disposing of property after death; and then they would limit the extent of pro perty each individual should be allowed to enjoy. Under . . these circumstances it behoved all classes to- consider what course should be taken to avert the evil. It was impossible for hint to enter into details, but it was their duty to main tain the Constitution with firmness and moderation. With those who advocated the handing over the wholo'power of ,ho House of Commons to a mere numerical majority they must hold no parley—they must keep them at arm's length. (Cheers.) There must be no surrender. (Cheers.) If this course be pursued he ventured to think that, as in the 17th century the wisdom, firmness, and moderation of their an cestors saved them from an absolute monarchy and in the 18th century from a narrow oligarchy, so in the 19th cen tury their Constitution would stand as it had hitherto stood, and would resist democracy as in earlier centuries. (Cheers.) Moderation was desirable, but moderation was not inaction. (Cheers.) Mr. BERKELEY, M.l'., responded at the Liberal dinner to Lo toast of "The Health of the Members for the City of lristol." Touching - 6n the subject of Parliamentary reform, [e said if Lord Derby should crod nee a measure of reform which he (Mr. Berkeley) thought to be an onward step ; it should have his support. But be disbelieved in their bring ing in any measure of reform at all, and if they did, he be lieved that it would .be so hollow and doceittul that it would fall to the lot of their members oppose it. (gear, hear.) And now did not those present think that they were going a little too fast? liovi were we to have reform in this country ender the existing state of things ? While the composition of the Home of Commons was as it was, while the electoral body - who sent the members to Parlia ment was it was, lie ,said, reform was almost tz3eless. (Cheers.) When he looked about the country and saw the state of degradation into which the constituencies WCal plunged, when ho saw noblemen standing up and equivo • toallmanner w,itn•.evshsecz whoeveruudet es t a h m e i y n tn at i i g o h n t ; b e and' e t , ti s n v sge h t o tiin i n n g i t g ha h en t mebleeaacinialelllsel example upon to tell the truth, anything but good, he must say that it presented a fearful spectacle. (Hoar.) He took Totnes purposely, because it reflected upon the Liberal party. There were but two ways in which wo could obtain reform. One was by altering the whole state of election, by altering those miserable committees of the House of niiituons, in which no justice was done either as regarded law or equity. That must be done in order to obtain reform, or there must be a revolution to gain it. Who was there prepared Co say they would have a revolution ? None of those present. They knew in this country that bad as the state of things might be, they could compare this country with any other in the world. (Hear, hear.) Sir M. PETO, on rising, was received in the most flatter ing manner possible. When silence had been restored, the hon. baronet oirerved that he thanked his friends most heartily for that very kind reception. Last year he made some remarks which he feared were misapprehended by many persons in the country. lie recommended the ap pointment of a commission to fully ascertain all the facts which could be known upon which a Reform Bill should be based, and that the Reform Bill should be postponed for a year. A great many of their friends in the country deemed that rather to be the advice of an insincere Re- former; but he could not help feeling, with 17 years' expe rience of the House of Commons, that their object was the obtaining of a sound Reform Bill, and that a year lost in the preliminary investigation would not be practically year lost in the cause of reform. (Hear, hear.) They were met that night to look at things as they existed, and ho asked them whether there was at the commencement of last year that earnestness on the part of the people gene rally which was calculated to impress a new House o Commons with the necessity for a Reform Bill. (Hear, hear.) He said unaffectedly there was .not. And For now, what was the position of the present Ministry? For Bill f o ro ne, ho was not prepared to expect a sound • bill was brought m any such source—(hear, hear)—butifa coursewhich forward, he was prepared to take the A la his indicated.pe (Applause .) fo use a . c ) cep A t n i cl .t_ if the honoured bi Il was a colleague sound he vr (applause)—and where it was wanting . e was prepared, with the help of other menthols of the House of Com mons, to add to it that which allow him WILS wa . Mang. (Hear, hear.) Th e y would, perhaps, nOW to mention an in stance which occurred when Lord Palmerston and L or d Russe ll r esumed the Ministry in the last Parliament. He had the honour of being asked by Lord Palmerston to se cond a motion to be made by Lord Httrtington, stating th e house of Commons had no confidence in the aTory Administration. Ho ventured humbly to write to Lord Palmerston stating that he would not do anything of the kind, and ho declined to take that action, because he felt that until the Tory party should committ themselves by some overt act, to show that they were not in accord withtheprinciples of the majority of the country, it was a short-sightod policy to turn them out. (hear.) ID therefore declined the honour, and it was undertaken by the hon. member for Middlesex. He was not prepared to be a party to anything like an action to turn out tho Tory 'Administration without giving them a fair trial— . --- (applause) - and ho knew that his honored collea.ge would not be wanting in the same act of justice. As to a Reform Bill, he was not prepared to take anything less than the bill of last session. (Hear.) Referring to the importance of au efficient army, the hon. baronet said no man with any reflection could have looked upon that war between Aus tria and Prussia, and have seen the collapse of Austria in the short period of a few days, without reflecting on what might possibly be; the fate of his own country. There was no greater friend of peace iu that room than ho was ; but he was prepared to say this that it was the bounden duty at the present moment of every party in this country —whether Conservative, Liberal, or whatever they.might be—to see that the various services in this country should at the present time be placed in the highest possible state of efficiency. (Applause.) He then touched upon the pre sent position of our navy. With regard to the Board of Admiralty, he had often stated that he did not conceive it possible that whilst the board existed as at present consti tuted wo c.Juld have an effective or useful administration. The first thing we should do was to alter our plan entirely with regard to our foreign stations. We had 01 small and effective vessels ; and he said that in the place of them wo should have a smaller number of thoroughly effective ships. Then he said tbat the second thing requiring to bo done was the replacing of our obsolete wooden line-of-battle ships by iron frigates. We had the Victoria in the Mediterranean, the Duncan in North America, and the Princess Royal in China—all wooden line o f-battle-ships with something like 800 souls on board of each—and if war were to break out to-morrow morning with America, she had a vessel in those seas which would annihilate either of these vessels in five or ten minutes, and he asked if that was the posi tion in which the country should be placed ?
