GERMANY. settee from Dusseldorf, of the 20th, says : P-J::eparations are being made here for a great mu -, -I festival, which will commence on the Ist of - - list, and continue three days. At it will ap r"-= representatives from all the singing societies of -,4 111113y, Belgium, Holland, and Switzerland, , anting in all to about 1,500 persons, who will evutpete for ten prizes, consistinr of pieces of plate, on which will be engraved the names of the victorious societies. The King of Prussia, who is to arrive on the 20th of July, at the Chateau de Stolzenberg, will be invited to honour the festival with his pre sence, and Jenny Lind, Meyerbeer, Spohr, Richard Wagener, and other musical celebreties of Germany will also receive invitations." A letter from Bremen of the 14th, in the Augsburg Gazette, gives an account of a misunderstanding which has arisen between the American Consul at Bremen and the Hanoverian authorities of Lehe, a place quite on the frontier of the territory of Bre men, and having, it would seem, jurisdiction over a portion of the roads of Bremerhaven. The facts of the case are these. Six sailors of the United States barque Aretbusa had got into debt at Bre merhaven with a public-house keeper, who, on hearing that the Arethusa was to sail in a few dap, applied to the authorities of Bremerhaven to get the sailors arrested, or else their pro perty seized ; but the authorities had no power in the ma:ter, o wing to a recent law of Bremen, which pro hibil.a the arrest for debt of sailors in active service, or the .seizure of their property. The creditor then bethought himself of the following plan to o btain payment. He transferred his claim to an inhabitant of Lehe, who applied to the Hanoverian authorities ; the latter, immediately on the Arethusa arriving within their jurisdiction, sent out a boat, demanding the arrest of the sailors in question ; and as the cap tain demurred, he was threatened with forcible mea sures, and that the cannon of the adjacent Hanoverian fort were ready loaded to enforce the demand. The captain at last yielded, but ap plied to the Ameri can Consul, who has just sent a note to the Hanoverian (.4 wernment, demanding a compensation of 500 dol lars, the liberation of the American sailors, and their free passage home, begkzing at the sa me t i me to b e informed of the exact demarcation of the j ur i s di c ti on cf Hanover over the roadsted of Bremerhaven, that American vessels might avoid it in future. The treaty between the Grand Duke of Hesse and the King of Bavaria, for the establishment of a tele graphic communication between Darmstadt and the Palatinate, having been ratified, orders have been given for the necessary works. The line will ex tend from lisnaa to Spire, passing through Offenbach, Darms tadt, Worms, and Ludwigshafen. ITALY. The Giornale di Roma, of the 16th, publishes a programme, issued by the Medical and Surgical Academy of Ferrara, offering a prize of 1,087 f. for the best essay (rnonografa) on intermittent fevers, and more particularly endemical ones, with an ample discussion on the hygienic means of re !moving their causes, and protecting man from their influence. The essays must have arrived free of postage to the Secretary of the said Academy, on or before the 30th of April, 1854. Foreign as well as Italian practitioners are admitted to the competition. Every essay is to bear a motto, to be repeated on the sealed cover containing the name and address of the au thor. The cover bearing the motto of the successful essty shall alone be opened, and all the other covers burnt. The essays may be written either in Italian, French, or Latin. They must all be original, never have been published, and never presented to any other academy. They mast be written legibly. The essays which have not gained the prize, may nevertheless be declared wor thy of being printed or be honourably mentioned, in which cases the aames of the authors shall he pub lished like that of the succesful competitor. No essay shall be printed without the consent of the author. The essays are not returned. TURKEY. " We learn from Constantinople, under date of the 10tb," says the DObats, "that Fuad Effendi was expected there the next day from his mission to Abbas Pacha. Alif Bey was to set out for Egypt, and thence to Jerusalem, immediately after the return of Fuad Effendi, in order to carry a firman from the Porte approving of the arrangements entered into with Abbas Pacha, and to have the engagements of the Porte with France rela tive to the Holy Sepulchre carried into exe cution. The Debais of May 29, containing the firman accorded to the Greeks by the Porte, on the subject of the holy sepulchre, had been re ceived by way of Vienna on the Bth of June. It appears certain that that document was ante-dated, that it returned corrected from St. Petersburgh, and was not handed over for some time after the departure o, M. Lavalette. However that may be, it was feared that this firman might leed to some complica tion in the regulations between France and the Porte. It was generally looked on at Constantinople as the indication of dispositions which nothing on the part of France justifies. As to the question of qu o..mtine, it appears that the Porte has at length ci:c , de I to sign the convention agre.-d to nt Paris, but wih certain reservations. Toe financial question continued to occupy men's minds. Whilst the bank was endeavouring to come to some understanding with g'iro ß e to give more stability to its operations, the Porte was taking measures to improve its credit by reda.:ing its issue of plper money, and on the lorh the Sultan was to proceed to the hotel of the Minister of Commerce, where 12 millions of piastres of that paper were to be burnt. Sir S. Canning had not yet left Constantinople. At a dinner given him on the 7th of June by the English mer chants, he had made a speech, in which (with about two or three exceptions) he had - comprised in the same accusation of venality and corruption all the functionaries of Turkey, and drawn a most melan chely picture of the Octoman Empire. This outbreak of the Britannic representative had excited a great sensatian at Constantinople." MINING INTELLIGENCE. (From the Mining Journal.)

(From the United Service Gazette.) Major• General Home, late of the Grenadier Guards, we understand, will succeed to the command of the troops in Jamaica, on the expiration of Major-General Banbury's period of service there. It is rumoured that Colonel Sir Ord Honyman, Bart., Lieutenant-Colonel Grenadier Guards, is about to retire from the service by the sale of his commission. A NEW INVALID DEPOT.—It is again rumoured that a depor, for the accommodation of invalid soldiers, is to be formed at Woolwich, and the staff now at Chat ham will be removed to the former place. If this plan is carried into effect, much delay and inconvenience will be spared the sick soldier, who, when his case is finally disposed of, can be sent, either by railway or steam-boat to any part of the United Kingdom, with very little trouble to himself. Recruiting in the Royal Marines has continued to im prove since the standard was brought down to 5 feet 7 inches—quite high enough for the work. Lieutenant O'Connell, 65th Regiment, is about to retire from the service by the sale of his commission. He served as Major of Brigade to the force in New Zealand from 1845 to 1846, and was present at the at tack on Heki's Pah at Mawie, on that on the i'faikadi River, and at the captuze of Pomare's Pah at Ruapeka peke in January, 1846. ARMY PROIuOTION.-96Ta REGIMENT.—Major Bush and Captain Eyton are about to retire trom the service by the sale of their commissions. Brevet Major Hill succeeds to the Majority, and Lieutenants Wilmot and Middleton to the vacant Companies. NEW Ross Gertufsort.—The troops stationed at New Ross, under the command of Brevet Lieut.-Colonel Powell, 57th Regiment, consist of Captain Hamilton's troop, sth Dragoon Guards, and Captain Law's com pany, 57tH. The fi , ld officer and cavalry will return to Kilkenny after the termination of the approaching election. ORDNANCE.—Gun, mortar, and howitzer practice, took place at the Pigeon-house Fort, Dublin, on the 21st inst. STAFF.—Major• General Manse', commanding the Cork district, has returned to Cork from his tour of inspection. ORANGE PROCESSIONR—Companies of the 46th, 71st IllighlAnd Light Infantry, Ist Battalion, and 91st Regi ment, Ist Battalion, will be detached in aid of the civil power at the expected Orange processions, on Ist July, in the Belfast district. TheoPs FOR Lenta..—Drafts from the depots stationed at Chathera, of the 18th Royal Irish, 29th, 53 d, 61 st, And 75th Regiments, embarked at Gravesend, on the 24th instant, on board the ship Buchepha lus, fur Bengal. T H E SCREW FR IGATE SQITADRON.—On Wednesday, a t 5 the screw steam squadron were standing into Torbay. Since leaving Spithead, they have had smooth water, light winds, and fine weather. They were sailing on a wind, when the result will be found as follows: — Arrogant first, Dauntless second, Highflyer third, and Encounter last; but so near does each ship approach the other in points of sailing under circumstances of wind, Sce., as before mentioned, that we believe it would take months for either one of the ships to get out of sight of the other three. The Encounter' s performances were unexpected; the klighflyer was nearly as good as Arrogant or Dauntless. The Sanspareil, 81, Captain Dacres, late of the Leander, is fitting for sea in Devonport harbour. Men are, however, coming in slowly, as the blue jackets al ways show a preference to vessels of a smaller class. It is reported that Captain the Honourable F. Pelham, now private Secretary to his Grace the Duke of Northum berland, will shortly supersede Captain Dacres in com mand of this fine specimen of a man-of-war of the new school. We presume Captain Dacres will be a candi- ' data for the first good service pension that is vacant. FRENCH AND ENGLISH NAVAL FORCES.—The French Yir.?es hAvo ben so much increased, and the English F‘ircez so much reduced. in the Pacific station, that our n,ignbunvs alai rivals muster in the Pacific about fifty gnus more than the British Navy. Captain Frederick C. Michell (1830) has been nomi nated to the command of the Queen, 116, to be ro-corn inissioned when paid off by Captain Wise. Captain Michell commanded the b tttering flotilla at Algiers, bat he has not been afloat for 20 years. The next thing we may expect to announce will be the appointment of the Dike of Northumberland, by himself, to command the Channel Fleet at sea. THE SUN; LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, PLUN DER SHOPS. (From the Aye, a new Lib era l W ee kly paper, just started.) Last month, Mr. Ikey Sharpe, formerly clerk to an attorney of the worst repute, issued from the portals of the House of Correction, wan in visage, gaunt in figure —knocking at the knces and out at the elbows—down nt heels in the lower extremity, and short of the proper quantity of heir upon his head. This week, I. Sharpe, Esq., drives a prancer in a bran new brougham, and is to be observed on Saturday nights in his own stall at the Opera, ogling the ladies in the box of royalty. I. Sharpe, Esq., has had his figure studied to the best advantage by a fashionable tailor near the Albany, and the head, which was lately rudely subjected to prison scissors, is now each morning neatly trimmed by an assistant from the renowned establish ment of Mr. Truefitt. Last month, Bluebottle was a portly figure, sleek, de mure, and dressed in glossy black, pouring champagne creamingly into " my lady's' glass, or courteously piling on her pictured plate strawberries at five shillings an ounce. This week, Bluebottle occupies the cell recently va cated by" that Ikey Sharpe." and performs twice a day upon the same instrument Mr. Sharpe played upon at Brixton for three successive months, the said instrument being a wheel of large diameter, which Bluebottle treads with pain and perspiration. Whence these changes which another wheel—the wheel of fortune—has induced? Near Bond-street, early in the month of May. there was a shop with the shutters up, and a board attached thereto, "Tu Let." One morthog the painter and glaziers' man took down the board and the shutters — cleaned out the interior—knocked up a mahogany rail ing and a desk inside—polished the plate-glass, and put up a blind inscribed, modestly and invitingly, "Mr. I. Saarpe's offices." Next d sy Bluebottle, the butler, being on an errand t i the n-ighbourhood of Berkeley-square, observed the blind with the name inscribed thereon, and going home wards meditated on the subject. The following Sunday Sir Hildebrand Houndsditch, Mr. Bluebottle's employer, desiring, on returning from Church, to read the Sunday papers, found his copy of Bell's Life wanting, and, on i n q u i r i ng res p ec ti n g the same. found it lying in the butl er ' s pa n t r y. Oa the day following, Mr. Bluebottle was observed consulting Mr. Sharpe on important business at the newly-opened offi&. The week following, the Derby was ,_ or run. The week after th a t " a d e t ect i ve " was sent for Budd, to Sir Hildebrand Houndsditcn's m a nsion, Where ha was confronted by a pawnbroker, and from ' Whence, after a feria terse and appropriate inquiries, he af ea r ldit his duty to convey Mr. Bluebottle, in order to lic , i 4 .t. !eat gentleman the pleasure of an interview with N ow "n magistrate. at th at ,',"'Y Lady H iundsditch, who had to give evidence all the eir o c e u r rn ri s d t police-court," is dreadfully annoyed at a ten d er t,,.._ Bluebottle, ances especially as her maid, who had he was co u a r rai.t has been in hysterics ever since filling her det t i :d, and quite incapable of properly ful tHilohuendesadnitgehettaa s. _it the toilette-glass.

And not only are the in terests of society suffering, but the interests of the Turf. 4 Frauds are perpetrated on sporting WOO throug h t h e ! machinery of these establishments; they are the means of bringing into connexion with Sport a clgss of persons who would not. be tolerated in " tho ring," dubious as is the character of many a man within that magic circle. The thing canitct be tolerated. We put down gaming t4bles—we don't allow dominoes to be played in a ta vern--Middktex: magistrates refuse dancing and music Licences=" Bartttelmy Fair" is knocked on the head— the police on rac e-courses seize remorselessly on every fellow vino pricks the garter or sets down a thimble table—and yet we allow robbery shops to be openly started in every public thoroughfare! Our police regu lations permit Mr. Ikey Sharpe to open a large estab• lishment, and not 40,0001., as one of these plunderers is said to have done during the present rading season, al though if he turned honest and got an employment, his master would be warned within a week by C 372 that he had better look out, for ho had a man in his service who had been twice convicted! Oh! it's a nice state of society ours is, and entirely free from anomalies of any sort! PRICES OF SHARES tN BANKS, ASSEJUANCE, AND OTHER CON PANIES' STOCK.

SPECIAL JURYMEN, Lord CAMPBELL stated that during the present sitting the attendance of special jurors had ben extremely un satisfactory, but ho had lbstained from fiuii ig them be cause) a Bill had passed both Houses of Parliament, to which ho hoped her Majesty wood give her assent, and which would place the speci a l j ury system upon a more satisfactory footing. INCONVENIENCE OF THE COURT. Lord CAMPBELL also said be wished, among other legal improvements, they would have a court in which they could sit without inconvenience, and without suffering to their health. He himself had suffered very much during a late trial, and he feared there were others who suffered also. It was most lamentable. writoofof dr i tnh possession same His Lordship, as was noticed in the House of Lords last night, was very hoarse, a mischief occasioned, per haps, partly by the fatigu e of the Achilli trial; but partly also by the strange and trying alternations of heat remained theeaommu saeei and cold to which this " well ventilated" court is subject. GREGORY v coTTERELL AND SWIFT AND SLoIsAN. Mr. Edwin James, Mr. Hugh Hill, and Mr Hawkins, conducted the case for the plaintiff; Mr. Bramwell and Mr. Kimpley appeared for the Sheriffs; and Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Hance for Sloman, the officer. It appeared from the testimony of Mr. Gregory and other witnesses that some time ago a Mr. Baker brought an action against Mr. Gregory for a subscription which was alleged $) be due from him towards paying the ex pense of the Dublin election. Mr. Gregory defended the action, on the ground that ho was not liable. A verdict against him for 1801. Mr. Gre gory was then iu Ireland, and before ho could return to London, on a Saturday was returned night an execution was put into The money was offered to the man in pos hsheoisswshilovnue,rB;ut whether because it chiefly consisted of Irish notes, or because he thought he had no authority to do more than remain in possession, he declined to receive it, and told Mr. Gregory that it must be paid at Jones's office. On the following Monday morning, the 16th of February, the sum of 2701. for debt and costs was paid at th e o ffice of Jones, and paid to the son of Jones, the g the name of the officer endorsed on After this payment the officer's man went out of possession, and Mr. Gregory thought the matter was at an end. ' After some time, however, another w irofo ri ne t ex o se f l:tieiinn e xecution was put into the plaintiff's amo n u in n e t d by ay S s, lo a m nd an d , id a n n o d t l t e h a e ve offi un ce ti r l given f or the whole sum claimed as due. a The o dw ud for b t bond is s econd exe cution. Lord CABIPBELL, in summ i ng u p, sa id th a t if M r . G r egory was not entitl e d to some recompense our law wasous very be defective,h fie had found an ex e c u ti o n i n hi s h a sked the officer if he wou ld rece i ve th e mone y ; the officer, refused to receive it; but said it m us t be paid at the " ( tee of Jones, to whom th e warran t h a d b een directed. M r. Gregory consulced his attorney, w h o went to the O ffi ce of Jones, and there found his son, w ho now called hi mself Lewis. He paid the money to t h a t person, and r ece i ved from him a discharge of the ma n in possession. Mr. Gregory had then every reason to suppose that he had done all that a man honour and prudence could do, when in came another execution un der the same jedgment, and the man remained in nine days; and for this he brought an action, and sought re dress from a jury of his country. It would be strange, after this, if , h e Could not obtain that redress ; bat th e sheriff said as was not entitled to any red ress what ever.lt wa s said, first, that the son did not pay over the money to the father; and as that was put forward as a point of defen ce , he would first ask their opinion whether they thought the son had paid the money over to the father? The Jury said they were divided in opinion on the question , ef actu a l p a y men t t o th e f a th er . Lord `-' 4I4 PDELL then asked whether they thought the son was authorised by the father to execute the writ, and afterwards to receive the money? Th e arnry•••••No doubt of it. Lord CAM PBELL—Then gentlemen, do you believe that the son received the money ? Th e Jury......N0 doubt of it. Lord CA MPBELL—Then I think that will be a sum cient ground for your saying that the sheriff received the money, and that issue will consequently be found for the plai nt i a , . Then, as to Sloman, do you think that Sloman was present at or authorised the second exe cution ? The JurY---Ye a that he authorised it. Lord CAMPBELL—Then, gentlemen, the only remain ing questio n is to the amount of damages, and that question is one entirely for your decision. I must say that this seems to me a very serious case. and I think not only that the property but that the liberty of the subject is at stake if these things are permitted. You will give as damages a sum which is not intemperate or excessive, bat which is a full and proper compensation for what I think a very serious case. Mr. BaaltwELL begged leave to tender a bill of ex ceptions to his Lordship's ruling. Lord CAMPBELL—Very well. I think you might have left the e ase to m y Lear ne d B re th ren here. But you will take what course you think fit. Mr. BRABrwraz felt it his duty to adopt this course. Lord CAMPBELL—And in the meantime Mr. Gregory may remain out of his money for years. The Jury then gave a verdict for the plaintiff—Da mages, 4001. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TlMES.—After the ample justice done to the trade returns of the last ten years by the present Chancellor of the Exchequer, all that we have now to do is to point out that the last published returns, for the month endihg May 5, show that the prosperity so candidly acknow ledged by that " enlightened" Minister, as we may now venture to call him, is still on the increase. The re turns have been unaccountably delayed, and, as some of the widest mouthpieces of the Protectionist party have been in the habit of asserting that the returns of the Board of Trade were " cooked" or " made pleasant" to the taste of Free-traders, there were some who suspected that the present returns had been consigned to some Protectionist cuisine, with a view to extract the objec tionable flavour. We do not recognise, however, any symptoms of such a treatment, and must, there fore, conclude that the present Board of Trade is quite satisfied with at least the form and manner of these returns, and has either not the wish or not we do no t thi n k i t poss ibl e the power to play tricks with the figures. F o r : P ri a c ro g tri with figu res w i th honour and accuracy, that t habit any d ey n t three gentlemen, selected for their should condescend to the arta of the forger and rogue; party, d tem suspected in return. The h but a very differen t e stimate of public men has pr e v a il e d and therefore we cannot be most direct test of employment and credit is the con sumption of comf orts and luxuries, such as c o coa , co ff ee , mach in the surprised Protectionist sugar, tea, tobacco, spirits, an d ma l t . Of t h e fi rst o f these the quantity en tered for home co nsum pti on f or th e single mouth ending the sth u lt. was 285,76 8 1 b., aga i nst b 291,4401 b. last Yea r ; at for the four months e n di ng to fill the sth ult. the return is 1,264,0951 b., against 1,082,6721 b. last year. Of e , f coffee, the quantities entered for home consumption in the month ending May 5, 1851 and 1852, are respectively 4,059,8281 b. and 2,763.8971 b, while for the four months ending those two dates the quantities are 10,591,7271 b. and 11,412,4611 b., showi ng a considerable increase for this year as compared with the last. As all coffee, of whatever growth, is now charged a uniform duty, it is impossible to separate British from foreign, even if our pres ent purpose required the dis tinction. The total of British and foreign sugar, unre fined, entered for home consumption in the single month ending May 5, 1851 and 1852, was 456,431 cwt. and 505,272 cwt.; and in the four months ending at those two dates, 1,900,760 cwt. and 2,174, 354 cwt.; thus showing a decided i mprovement both in the larger and in the smaller period of comparison. In tea the quanti ties entered for home Consumption in the month ending May 5, 1850. 1851, and 1852 are 4,283,8841 b , 4,412,3711 b., and 4,70 40921 b.; and in the four months ending at these dates , 16,529,0051 b., 17,470,4381 b., and 18,587,8051 b. Of tobacco unmanufactured the quanti ties entered for home consumption in the months ending May 5, 1851 and 1852, were 2,192,0411 b. and 2,328,9541 b.; and, is the four months ending at these dates, 9,074,1861 b. and 9,672,5341 b. The consump tion of foreign Spirits is decidedly on the increase, as shown by t he returns both for the one month and for the four months. The returns of the con sumption of different king of " fruits" point rather to the fluctuations of th e supply than of the demand; but, in general, they shows large increase on the month, and a slight decrease for this four months, probably owing to the great prevalence of easterly winds in the early part of the year. In nearly every kind of spice there i s a great increase • both for one month and for the four months. After comforts and luxuries, the two chief heads of imports are, first, articles of food entering into co mpetition with . domestic produce, and, secondly, the ra w material of our manufactures. With regard to the first, there has been a great decline in the importation of wheat, barley, and oats; a large increase in beans; and no considerable change in other grain or in meal. There is a considerable decline in the importation of potatoes, and of most items of ~ provisions," which would seem to indicate that the competition encountered by the British agriculturist is becoming less severe. In the materials of manufactures the returns are very various, and have generally been anticipated by our own reports from the great seats of trade. Of cotton wool the quantities imported in the month ending May 5, 1851 and 1852, were 601,794 cwt. and 971,1 31 cwt.; and in the four months ending at these dates 2,154,013 cwt. and 2,428,412 cwt. Of sheep and lambs wool there is a large increase for the month, and a decrease for the four months. In other raw materials the fluctuations appear to be of an accidental character, but indicate, on the whole, an increasing demand. In a ll descriptions of timber there is a large increase, as might be anticipated, from the vast amount of building we see on all sides. It is observable also that the increase is greater in British than in foreign timber. Tne returns of British exports are satisfactory on the whole. Either in the one month or i n the four mont h s th ere is anjin crease in the export of soda, beer and ale, earthenware, glass, haberda s h ery an d m illi nery , l ea ther manufac tures, includin g g l oves, li nen m anufactures, p I pig iro n , lead, and some oth er d es criptions of metal, salt, she wool and wooll en manufactures. The only the important decrease is in c o t ton manuf a ctures . The return s of Excise for the qu ar t er en di ng April 5 are also an& Ire. favourable. no The whole qua nt it y c h arge d w i t h duty in E ng land, land and Scotland, w h et h er exported or retained for home consumption, of malt, was 18,345,444 bushels, against 17,715,82 4 b us h e l s last year;of soap, of spirits, 51,242,6451 b., agai ns t 49,148.4131 b. lastyear; 5,928,137 gallons, aga i ns t 5,693,933 gallons last year; the only decre ase b e i ng i n the item April of 5, p aper,lBso, the re turns of which, f or t h e quar ter ending ,623111, an d 38,806,3171 b. and 1852, being 35,659,4201 b., 39 , 38,806,3171 b.

There must ever be exceptions in a sta' extent such as that before us. The beat thing we can hope for i a st- ady and general improvement, spread over a considerable period of time; and that we have now, on the evidence of the tables before us; for, though there is a trifling decrease in the aggregate of exports this year as compared with the last, it may be accounted for by inevitable and happily passing circumstances. HERALD.— It is with much satisfaction (we write without the authorised version of the last two days' bebates) we observe that the acts of the Prince President of. the French Republic tend, by their enlightened equity, to falsify the interpretations which the pretended spokesmen of his sentiments would, in their affectation of a confidence never accorded, attempt to put upon them. A Monsieur Delamarre, banker, member of the Corps Legislatif, and editor of the Pattie, would seem to be vice Cassagnac dismissed, only to run the same career of impudent assumption, encountered by contradic tion and rebuke. A few days ego this gentleman, in one of his ambitious of taking the place of organ of the Elysee, disparaging attacks on the Legis lative Body, of which he happens to be a member, so contrived to explain away the privileges conferred by the constitution, as to leave it nothing beyond a sort of permission to offer shadowy sugges tions of little weight and no real power to the Council of State, which, should the latter warrant, might be dis cussed, but which, should it reject, could only be main tained by incurring the crime of treason. Hardly had this great constitutional authority issued his commen taries on the fundamental law, when Louis Napoleon offered a striking homage to the independent rights of the Legislative Body by withdrawing, through his Mi nister of State, the bills which had been presented for creating new taxes, on the implicit ground of assent to the reasonable objections that had reached his ears of the insufficiency of time for their proper discussion. In a similar spirit of respect for the constituted authorities the Prince President has, according to consistent ru mours, which were hailed with as much satisfaction in Paris as they would be here or amongst any community of justice-loving people, yielded to the objections raised in the Council of State to the decrees affecting the Or leans property, objections only rendered the more palpa ble by the late decision, secured by one casting vote. We find ourselves thus confirmed in the assured belief we have never ceased to entertain, that, however restricted might be :the character of the institutions created by virtue of the authority lodged in the hands of Louis Na poleon by the country at large, he would give them full and fair play. It would have been something worse than error to have presumed the contrary. The oath of obedience to such institutions required of all parsons in official connexion with the State implies of itself respect by their framer, who himself imposes the obligation. It is only the shallow and unprincipled parasite who, in the obtuseness of his conscience and glimmering cunning of a clouded intellect, would offer the stupid insult of interpreting conduct in the sense of a desire to nullify or vitiate a constitution not yet three months in practi cal operation. The two great touchstones of the strength and independence of both the main powers of the State have turned out to be the question of general expendi ture and that of the Orleans property decrees. And it speaks well for the spirit and wisdom of the Legislative Body and the Council of State, that neither have failed in a conscientious understanding of their duties. That which might have been expected, and which ought to have been desired to take place, is exactly just what has happened. No one could have believed it to be good that collision between one part and another of the State machine, or the formation of an opposition, should have arisen before time bad been afforded for a general understanding of the working of institutions offered as the best that could be bestowed on a country, rescued, almost by miracle, from a fearful anarchy. To prevent something like jealous repugnance between the Legisla tive Body and the Council of State required at the very outset all the tact and firmness of the President himself: Even now the latter body would fain absorb, in its own hands, the rights which give to the legislative its dis tinctive character and name. It is probably owing to the determination felt by the Legislative Body to maintain the rights which properly belong to the repre sentatives of the people, that the rumours of a rising op position to the Government of the Prince President, of which we have heard so much of late, have gained cir culation. The President has, therefore, acted wisely in the distinct recognition of the rights of the Legislature, which he has just conveyed through the letter of his mi n i s ter of State, adjourning the consideration of the lately-proposed taxes to next year. In the meantime we find the Government beat upon stimulation those great railway undertakings which in France amount to sheer and positive necessity. So large a number of con cessions had been made during the time the Prince had exorcised unlimited authority, that in obedience to ex pressions of apprehension lest the market should be overloaded with a particular kind of stock, two impor tant works, the Paris and Cherbourg and Bordeaux to Cette lines, were postponed. The immense abundance of capital which at this moment is seeking profitable employment, would seem to have proved too alluring a temptation for the Govern ment to resist, and as the revenue returns maintain considerable comparative advantages over the last and preceding years, the Government has felt itself justified in making another year's experiment. Should the re venue coetinuis to be improved through the comfort and diffusion of means produced by widely developed em ployment, and should the no less important consequences of consolidated government and deepening contentment enable reductions to be made in the military expendi ture, that permanent drain of the resources of the country, it may be that so far from fresh taxes having to be proposed we may have to see reductions made in those which exist. The rigid principles asserted by Louis Napoleon on the score of authority, and his adop. t ion of the system of public companies as applied to rail way undertakings, are commented upon by the Paris &Eck as involving inconsistency and contradiction. The journal in question, true to the doctrines of the Repub lican school, of which it is, we believe, the sole remain ing organ,-is an advocate for monopoly, by the State, of all railway lines. How a man, who would give such preponderance to government authority, could yet sur render the great highways of communication to capi talists, confounds the comprehension of the Republican paper. But hoW it is that Republicans, such sticklers for the free action of men in all their relations of life, whether political, moral or commercial, should yet be the enemies of social combinatioa for carrying out grand industrial undertakings, involves a more puzzling incons sistency. Our Paris contemporary is so great a friend to State monopoly, that even his opinion, that the exer cise of commercial rights by men who meet to debate about their material interests must cut into political re strictions, which cannot live in the neighbourhood of actively-exercised citizsnship, does not atone for the sacrifice he deplores. Perhaps , after all, Louis Napo leon would not be sorry to see the bulwarks of authority carried by the legitimate influence o_f citizens e d ucate d to ability to share in the making of laws, through prac tical acquaintance with the necessities of business. Past dangers have had their origin chiefly in an indulgence of wild and impracticable theories, the folly of which had not been proved through collision with the solid , facts of well-consolida ted business systems. Our sur mise is strengthened by the preamble of the Constitu tion itself, which, in adopting the maxim that constitu tions are not made but grow, does treat the institutions bestowed as an elastic framework for adaptation to future times and better circumstances.

Oa Sa.urclay the noteety or promoting the amend meat of the leev heel acs dinner at the Crown awl Scepete Tavern, Gfeetiwich. The chair was filled by Lord Baououttest. who, in proposiog as si toast, "Suc cess to the Society," sa - d that wes to express a wish for what the society already possessed. They would, the:a fore, understand by the toast, further and continued suc cess! Their success had been very great, especially during the last twelve months, in which time more consi derable progress had been made in the amendment of the law than during any twelve times twelve months in his recollection, When they met together a year ago, even those measures which appeared nearest to success they were not confident of obtaining; and even in that great improvement, the new Evidence Bill, though they had every reason to hope that it would pass, many ob stacles stood in the way. Then came the opining of Parliament, under auspices equally encouraging, for the speech from the throne announced th at i m p orta nt im provements in equity and law had been considered, and reports of commissions had been received, and that on them measures had been pre pared and were abut to be presented for the conside ra tion aced adoption of Parliament. He hardly ever re membered a speech from the throne in which the amendment of the law occupied so large a space as on that occasion. He remembered a speech from the throne at the end of the session of 1831, in which the subject was referred to, but that ought to he ascribed to the dis appointment arising from the rejection of the Reform Bill, and he though. it likely that the Ministry on that occasion considered it advisable to dwell on the only success which they had achieved. In that speech, if he recollected, law amendm-nt was spoken of as carried on "so as tot ring justice home to every man's door. 'rent alluded to the L Courts Act, which was postponed to 1833, when it was defeated by a narrow majority. This year not only had the question of law amendment been made a prominent feature of the Royal speech, but the most important measures had been introduced and Were happily about to be carried, that had been passed within his recollection. These measures had been . pro posed by the late Government most honestly and fairly, and he now said so the more willingly, because at first a difference had existed as to the mode of procedure in the House of Lords and Commons, but all these differ ences had ceased, and the most important fundamental changes in the Court of Chancery were resolved to be proceeded with, and to be passed into law with the least possibly delay. Politics were excluded by the rules of the society, and he would there fore only say, that from some accidental circumstances, circumstances which no one understood, and least of all the late Government themselves—(A laugh)—they re tired from office. The new Government, however, adopted their measures completely, and whatever preju dices any of them might have had, these were not al lowed to interfere, and the plans of their predecessors were fairly and fully, and honestly carried into execu tion. He regarded all this as a great indication of the progress of the spirit of reform, and of safe, because well-considered and deliberately-prepared, amendment of the law. It was almost the only ground on which contending parties equally appealed to the country. It was true that in profession a Protectionist was almost as difficult to find as a person against law amendment; but while as to real intention there were still many Protec tionists, there was nobody who in his secret wishes was not for amending the law, all being fa. it, and nobody against it.—(Hear, hear.) Such was the change which had taken place d ur i ng t h e n i ne or t en y ears f or w hi c h the society had been in existence.—(Hear.) Straws showed how the s tream ran , an d h e no ti ce d th at d a y that in the Harrow speeches one was a translation of a speech on law reform, which could not have been se lected on account of its eloquence.—(Hear.) Even if the person who made that speech hatt been gifted with eloquence, he defied him to exercise it in dealing with the terms and forms of the law, with pleas, and assump sits, and demurrers, with writs, prectice, processes. and bills. Tne selection of a subject so dry and intractable showed that it was arresting attention among portions of the community where it might least be expected to meet with a response.—(Hear.) What remained then for the society but to persevere in its efforts? He might draw their attention, specially, to the subject of local judica tures, on which they now had six or seven years' expe ' rience,—not a long experience certainly, but one on which ample relia nce m i g ht bee placed from the wide surface over which during that period it had been spread. The great, invaluable, and necessary light of experience was indispensable to any safe and salutary reform of the legal system—(Hear)—and having now had the benefit of that light, let their aim be to correct existing defects, and do all that could be done to cor rect and extend the local judicatures.—( Hear, hear.) In " bringing justice home to every man's door," they ought not to depart so far from a due centralization as to run the risk of injuring the general system of our jurisprudence or ruining the profession of the law, and ens of the most important and diffi cult inquiries which would be intrusted to that con mission, which he hoped to see issued on the subj ct would be to reconcile the due distribution of local judi catures with the general interests of our jurisprudence, and the welfare of that profession with which, as supplying the judges of the land, L or d Denman in his letter had well observed, the interests of tne community at large were bound up.—(Hear, hear.) Between the interests of the bar and those of the suitors God forbid that there should be any hesitation, but he believed that by improving the proceeding of the superior courts, both suitors and the profession would be great gainers, and no sacrifice of either to the other would be required. Whatever improvements, however, might be effected in this way, he held it to be impossible to dispense with local courts. The digest of the law was another subject which he considered to be of great importance, and some progress had been made with regard to ir. A comm ssion had 20 years ago reported in favour of such a change, but he regretted that their recommendati was not accompanied by a sample. Digests of the criminal law and of criminal law procedure had since been prepared, and should have been carried through Parliament. He hoped, however, to see not only a digest of the criminal law, including procedure, but a general digest of all the law, common and statute. Having touched on several other topics, the Noble and Learned Lord concluded by proposing continued success to the society. Mr. Commissioner PANE, whose health was drunk in connexion with a toted dedicstcd to the fusion of law and equity, said that he presided in a court " of law and equity," so that the union wes already recognised. He had found often that while the inferior judge, the com missioner, acted on the principle of this • union as sanc tioned by Act of Parliament, the superior judges de clined to do so. The commissioner proceeded to deed with a question of law to the best of his ability, and when he had struggled with and disposed of it the Court above said, " We don't und ers t an d th e l aw; l e t en act i on be brought." The inconvenience resulting was exhibited in enormous bills of costs, and this tossing (or " bandy ing" as Bentham called it) of the suitor from court to court, gave rise not only to that but to many other evils. The great object to be accomplished was, that the courts of law should undertake as re:meet of the duties of the equity courts as were not inconsistent with then' own duties. If their Noble President assisted the society in its efforts he had no doubt they would succeed in effecting this great improvement in their jurispru dence. Mr. J. STEWART, whose name was coupled with the toast of " the Free Transfer of Land," in acknowledging the toast, said that question bad received a very cons,- derable accession of strength from the labours of the pre sent Parliament. The Act for the Enfranchisement of Copy holds was a very important measure, and might now be regarded as settled by the deliberations of the committee of the House of Lords on principles which se cured a complete and satisfactory adjustment of the whole question. Those principles were applicable to freeholds as well, for they had all been striving to obtain a shorter form of conveyancing. While a sixty years' title to land was requisite, the number of purchasers must be comparatively small; and if the title was shortened the number of purchasers must be propor tionally increased. The Copyhold Enfranchisement Bill had. shown that this could be done. While the purchase of land was surrounded by such enormous expenses as was at present the case, the value of the land must suffer proportionally; and on this point he complimented the Lord Chancellor for having inserted a clause to tax and moderate the charges connected with copyhold enfranchisements. A si milar provision ought to he made with reference to the transfer of freehold property. Consols were now at 33 years' purchase, while land in the most favoured si tuations was only at 30 years' purchase.—(Hear, hear.) Now, be would venture to ask if the transfer of land was placed on a proper footing, it would raise its value to 40 years' purchase 10 years hence. Why should land across the Channel be at 40 years' purchase when in this favoured country it stood at 30, and, though a better and safer investment, was under the price of Consols?—(Hear, hear.) The improvements which he advocated would not only increase the value of his pro perty to the owner, but benefit all classes connected with the soil, down even to the agricultural labourer. Mr. R. LOWE, who responded to the toast of " Co dification," with which his name was connected, said that the subject was one which in a few years was des tined to occupy a prominent place in the attention of the people and the discussion s o f t h e Lsgi s l ature. Th e State had hitherto confined it se lf to t h e gr i evances o f the suitor, but he would not be satisfied until the pro blem how best to ascertain facts and discuss p eats of law had been solved, until that solution was applied to all facts and law alike—and until the investigation of truth was at all times conducted in the best possible way. He ap prehended that the means of investigation should be the best that the human intellect could devise, and that they should not be of one kind in one court and of another kind in another. He was far from thinking that all bad been done which could be done in this direction. Agr e " step had been taken in laying the foundations of reform in the Court of Chancery, but the vstem of Tr e P x g erise evi dence provided was likely to be attended and delay.—(Hear, hear.) The doctrinem had attained such public favour, that, o a wf „ a:erre formdi dig had and such was the case with. the Billrevued it to be a men_ sure to snatch at any measure thatoilsertead caohmemPeoneflaitsy; thought the time hatdo procedure —(Hear, hear.) cause l of law reform, sure calculated to and which would have to aside as Oppo se d sound principtet_(elear. ) barlc in codification, and when come when they should e mbark la embarrasbeHate eshebete . have an impor tant to tent effect upon procedure.

The " Law Reformers of the City" was proposed as a toast, and duly responded to by Mr. W. Hawes, who, in reply, made some excellent observations upon the present working of the County Courts.

The trade here, while it is very brisk, is firm, the market be ing influenced somewhat by the weather and the advices from the English side. We have not any arrivals of consequence to report from abroad. The receipts of home grain are very small. In prime foreign wheat we have a very extensive busi ness passing, and the trade is firm with somewhat of an upward tendency. For Egyptian we experience a fair demand, and the article may be quoted fully 6d per barrel dearer. In oats we have literally nothing doing. A good demand exists for fine flour, in which a large consumptive business is passing at late prices. Coarse flours continue to find ready purchasers. We have only a moderate trade in Indian corn, still stocks of the article being now in few hands, holders demand an advance of 2s 6d per ton over the prices of last week.
