Lord Panmure has received intelligence from General Simpson, announcing the fatal termina tion of Lord Raglan's illness. Until 4 p.m. on the 28th his Lordship had been progressing to the satisfaction of his medical attendants, when alarming symptoms developed themselves, attended with difficulty of breathing, w'aich gradually increased. From 5 p.m. he was unconscious, and from this periol he gradually sunk until twenty-five minutes before nine, at which hour he died. The event has plunged the whole army into the most profound grief. We have been designated by high authority as " a nation of shopkeepers," and are accustomed to boast of England as " a commercial coun try," and yet perhaps there is no part of the world in which so many and such vexatious restrictions have been imposed on trade. It would, in fact, seem as if the very attempt to engage therein was a high crime and misdemeanour, which should be prohibited under the most stringent penalties, or at all events the most formidable and possibly ruinous risks. The moment any man embarkzd a trifling sum of money in any mercantile pursuit he ceased to be a free agent, and became entangled in a variety of meshes from which he could with extreme diffi culty only, if at all, extricate himself. He forth with became responsible to the full extent of his fortune—aye, and his liberty, for the acts of others. It is true that he may nut in any degree have held himself out to the commu nity as a partner, and that consequently no debt had been incurred on his credit, or in consequence of the belief in his solvency—that he may not have in any way interfered in the mis management of the concern, and that he may have even stipulated with the working partners for a complete exemption from any portion of the leases --being practically neither more nor less concernel than the banker or bill-broker who ad vances money for the purposes of the undertaking, the only difference being that the one is remune rated for the use of his capital by a certain fixed rate of interest, the other on a varying scale, pro portioned to the bona fide profits. Still, in every instance, although his stipulations may be binding as between himself and those with whom he is engaged in the s peculation, h e i s, so far as the rest of the community are concerned, responsible in person and property for every farthing of loss thereon—aye, although in the eye of the law he had no property in the goods, and could not exer cise the most trifling act of ownership with re spect thereto. The natural consequences have followed this untoward state of the law. No man would in vest capital in any business over which he could not exercise the most vigilant control, and even then be might find himself ruinously involved by the reckless proceedings of an over-speculative or dishonest partner. Rich men could not advance a small portion of their wealth to assist a meri torious friend, or advance an object likely to be beneficial to the community. Poor men could not find profitable employment for their small savings, without in either case endangering their The tradesman, who could easily en large his business by money obtained from friends and neighbours, who confide in his integrity and efficiency, is prohibited from doing so on any thing like reasonable a sudden and unexpected de terms ; while, if mand arises, he is driven into the bands of the professional money-lender, from which moment his ruin is merely a question of time, which sooner or later must occur. There are many other evils and inconveniences resulting from this impolitic and inequitable state of the law which it would be impossible to recapi tulate within the limits of a leading article. Suffice it to say, that they are universally recog nised, and that, however parties may differ as to the most eligible remedies, there is a general con currence of opinion among all unprejudiced and disinterested persons as to the propriety, if not the imperative necessity, of a searching revision of the partnership code, with the view of the abolition of regulations which occasion so much mischief, without any corresponding benefit. It was with the view of remedying this unto ward state of affairs, and in accordance with the resolution carried twelve months since by the House of Commons, that the two bills which last night received their second readings were intro duced by the Government. The principles on which these measures are framed are perfectly analogous, and they have therefore very properly been discussed together ; although for greater con venience they have been subdivided into matters relating to private and joint-stock concerns. 01 these principles we heartily approve. But we must candidly confess that we cannot conceive why the remedies have been of so limited a character, and why the smaller companies with less than 20,000/. capital, of which three-fourths, or 15,0001., must be actually subscribed, and 20 per cent. thereon paid up, should be so carefully excluded. There are many very beneficial undertakings which do not require the possession of 3,000/., in hard cash, for their working, or prospective liabilities to five times the amount. The avowed object is to enable parties to invest a certain sum of money without further risk; but, according to Mr. BOUVERIE'S plan, the party must only so employ one-fifth of the sum he is willing to speculate with, and keep the remaining four-fifths idle, or he must still subject himself to liabilities that may be just as ruinous as the unlimited claims that might have been put for ward under the old law. This is not judicious; it certainly recognises a sound princi ple, but it fails to give practical efficacy thereto. It is the introduction of the sharp end of the wedge the cone( ssion of au instalment ; but that is all. The objections, however, may be all dealt with in committee, and, inasmuch, as in their present form these bills must be regarded as very decided ameliorations on the old system, we should, while struvling for a more extended de velopment of the salutary principle, be sorry to reject that which is offered, lest in grasping at the shadow we might lose the substance already tendered for our acceptance. We wonder that most of the counsel for Austria are not struck with the illogicalness of their own arguments. Pity poor bankrupt tyranny, they exclaim, when honest Englishmen lose all patience with the shuffling which Lord LYNDHURST would only describe to the life, but on which he would not pass sentence. When, however, indignation veers to the home delinquents for wasting time, money, lives, and a campaign to secure this shuf fler's aid—Oh ! the reply is, it was invaluable ; how could we have done without it ? How, in deed! We must have been ruined without the help of a Power which dared not fire a gun, and which now sends its soldiers home Itlicause it cannot afferd to pay for their salt and black bread. If Austria be the poor starving beggar she is now represented to be, in the name of common sense why have we been her tool at such tremendous cost to ourselves? If she be an independent power, if she has wealth of her own, or credit to borrow, why, then, let her be required to do her part. For ourselves, our readers well know our view of Austria. She is a political pauper, and a financial pauper—we may add, a political swin dler. Her aid was never worth an hour's pur chase. Her " chivalrous" monarch is about as chivalrous as all the dark-souled dynasty to which he belongs—a dynasty which has done more than any other in Europe to clench the common belief of Protestants that Catholics can dispense with the obligation of an oath ; a dynasty which might have enjoyed the enthusiastic support of the really chivalrous Hungarian nation, but which had not chivalry enough to discern the slightest honour in reigning over a nation of free- FRANCIS JOSEPH--." the youthful MUD. ROR"—plainly is an old Hapsburg. The vice of many generations is grey on him. He has no notion of government except by universal repres sion of liberty, and knows no better means of keeping together an empire of political slaves than the old one of setting race against race. We have, therefoie, always and consistently held that such an empire is not a power. She could not obstruct the Allies if she would ; whether her help would have been worth having, had she been as chivalrous as she has been cowardly, as honest as deceitful, may well b 3 doubted. The duty of the Allies, however, now is very plain ; they must bid her mind her own business, hold her tongue about conferences henceforth, and, above all, as she is too beggared to afford an army of the need ful size, to remove her brutal Croats from the Principalities at once. It is downright wicked ness to tolerate an hour longer the occupation of those provinces by such a corrupt tool of Russia, and a subverter of native liberty ; by a Government which, in violation of treaty, sets up its savage martial law to over ride the civil law of the country ; and which—we shudder to write it—sets a price on the head of Hungarian patriots who have sought a refuge there. A Hapsburg can never forget to combine the inquisitor and the tyrant—can never sleep in quiet unless his agents are tracking some where the footsteps of fugitive liberty. The beggary of this despicable Government throws also, to our mind, much fresh light on the prudence of raising the standard of " the nation alities." It shows that we may do it without fear of Austria. She has not a soldier to spare to help Russia any more than to attack her. The talis manic words of Mr. ROEBUCK once pronounced, her game would be up. The Lombards, Poles, and Hungarians would not need to rise at once. Sulky silence would alone make the heart of every Hapsburg quail. Austria could never move a man against the Allies, for she could hardly pay soldiers sufficient to keep the youthful tyrant from baying his brains knocked out by his own subjects. Prussia is in the same predicament. We speak from personal intercourse with well-informed Prussians, and we axe confident that, though men. Prussian officers are bribed by Russian gold to buy them new coats when their tailors will trust them no longer—by orders and honours, and even by the old inexpressibles of the late CZAR,—yet that the people are heartily with the Allies. The Prussian army dare not fight for Russia ; if they did, the Allies would be invited to take up their bead-quarters at Berlin, and another 1848 would not leave the perjured king his head on his shoulders. Germany could never be led against France, now that she has renounced for ever all thoughts of European conquest. The aid of the latter would be now welcomed to revenge the innumerable royal cruelties and perjuries of 1849. We affirm, then, once more, that the talismanic words ought to be uttered. We ought not to allow ourselves to be over-reached and cozened to the end of the story. England has not begun a war for the purpose of enabling Prince ALBERT and the continental royalties to adjust matters for the satisfaction of dynasties merely. The people began this War ; its victories hitherto have been gained by the soldiers in despite of bad general ship abroad and mismanagement at home. The demand must, therefore, be, that peoples abroad obtain what the people of England have spent their money and their blood to get for them. Russia must be driven from Poland as she is to be from the Crimea; the standing menace against Europe must no more survive the War than the Aanding menace against Turkey. Austria and Prussia must be told that they are to give up their share of the robbery which has enslaved them both. We must, in short, send to those states the like message to that which DEaros- THENES took to the Thebans when their Philippis ing oligarchs were playing the very game of the Austrian and Prussian Courts—not that we ask help of them against Russia, but that we are ready to aid them in preventing her encroachments. It is useless to flourish on the position of Poland as even Lord PALMERSTON could do to win a cheer, or to show, with Lord LYNDHURST, that their small shares in the nefa rious robbery enslave both Austria and Prussia. We must proclaim to both of them that the issue of this contest must be in making Poland the barrier of Europe against barbarism, and that the Congress which shall arrange the terms of peace shall this time be held in a Free Warsaw. Vienna can never again, from mere self-respect, on the part of England and France, be the seat of au Allied Congress. The policy that consigned Moldavia and Wal lachia to occupation by Austrian troops is bearing its legitimate fruits. Having gotten possession of these Principalities, and obtained other advantages by cunning and fraud, Austria has grown indif ferent to keeping up appearances. Her unprin cipled diplomatists laugh at the noodleism of our Ministers in having suffered themselves to be lone; and her soldiery, even less under restraint than before, indulge their brutal propensities with a freedom that is somewhat startling. Pillage and assassination are quite the order of the day_ If a gentleman has a cask of choice wine in his cellars, the chance is its contents reward an armed band for the labour of its capture to alorrow. Cabarets are entered, and if the host insists on payment of the score, a bayonet stab in his stomach, and any one else's who may come to his aid, clears off the debt. Private dwellings are feloniously entered in br3ad daylight, and well for beauty or wealth if either escape. A state of things like this is not only to be de plored by Government, but calls for prompt re monstrance, and, if necessary, resolute interposi tion. On England and France the responsibility rests, to them the unfortunate Wallachians and Moldaviana have a right to look for protection, and nothing short of their interference will secure it, or prevent the oppression under which they groan from being increased. Under such circum stances we could wish that Mr. B_AntrE's question had elicited from the Premier a somewhat more satisfactory reply—one indicative of some sympa thy with the sufferers and indignation at the con duct of their oppressors. But while the Noble Lord had a castigation in store for Mr. DOItIA, through whom the facts have leaked out, all he had to say, by way of reprobation, respecting these atrocities was, describing them as "instances of misconduct." For the honour of this country, and in the interests of humanity, we trust honour able members will take care to quicken his Lord ship's apprehensions and action in the matter. RETIREMENT OF THE HON. MR. JUSTICE MAULE. In consequence of continued ill-health, the Lord Chancellor has accepted the resignation of the Hon. Mr. Justice Maule. Mr. J. S. Willes, of the home circuit, a stuff gownsman, and called to the bar in 1840, has been appointed his successor. Some surprise is expressed at mernbcrs of the bar eminently qualified to discharge the responsible and im portant duties of judge, and Mr. Willes's seniors, being passed over, but all, we believe, admit the great abilities and high legal attainments of the learned gentleman who has been appointed to fill the unexpected vacancy. CAPTAIN W. PEEL, OF THE DIAMOND. A rumour was very prevalent yesterday that Captain W. Peel, the commander of the celebrated Koh-i-noor Battery and of her Majesty's ship Diamond, bad been killed. A contemporary last night contradicted the rumour, but stated that Captain W. Peel was wounded. We believe our contemporary has mistaken the Captain Peel, of the 34th, who was mentioned in Lord Raglan's despatch as wounded, for the gallant commander of the "saucy Diamond," whom we believe to be in excellent health. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Mr. Buckatone's benefit last night attracted a crowd that filled the house in every part, and was distinguished by the greatest variety in the way of entertainment. A compressed version of Mrs. Centlivre's Busy Body, with Mr. Buckstone as Marplot, opened the series, and went off with immense eclat; next came a new song by Mr. Macfarren, entitled the " Heroe's Medal," by singing which Mr. Suns Reeves obtained the honour of an en• core ; then followed the Spanish ballet, the Star of An• dalusia, in which Senora Perea reappeared, after as ab sence of many weeks. Afterwards came a new farce, strangely entitled The Adventure of Mr. Backstone with a Polish, Princess. The farce, of course, depended upon Mr. Buckstone's tact in keeping the audience iu a con stant roar at his various difficulties, in which he was highly successful, and, therefore, the piece itself was equally so. . At the close of the play Mr. Buckstone was loudly called for, and on his appearance he was received with a complete shower of bouquets, and three distinct rounds of applause. The cheering having subsided, Mr. Buck stone returned his thanks to the audience for their at tendance. He said he felt it his duty to state that be could have let the boxes three times over, and had he turned the entire pit into stalls he had eager bidders for every one. (Loud applause.) The reason, he continued, why he would not do so, was that he would not infringe on old playhouse customs, and interfere with the liberty of the subject. Shouts of applause followed this an nouncement, amid which Mr. Buckstone retired. The resolution of the t dented lessee does him infinite credit. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Sittings at Guildhall, before the Lord Chief Justice and Common JurieF.) The business in this court up to the time our report was despatched was of no public interest. The case of the Paris Chocolate Company v. the Crystal Palac3 Company, which was expect3d to come on to-day, was postponed until Tuesday next. LATEST NEWS. MARSEILLES, SATURDAY, JUNE 30. The Ganges, which left Constantinople on the 21st, has arrived. She brings news from the Crimea to the 19th of June. Despatches leaves at 9 am.

General Prince Gortschakoff writes, under date of the 24th, that the Allies were firing Tery little. The corps which had crossed the Tch?rnaya re turned to the left bank on the night of the 22d. Great movement was taking place in the allied squadrons. TURIN, Jimm 28. General La Marmora writes from Kadikoi (Crimea), under date of the 27th, that the cholera has almost disappeared from the Piedmontese camp. FRANCE. PARIS, FRIDAY EVENING. The Emperor yesterday visited the Exhibition Palace, and stopped for some time examining the large Brazilian diamond. The Empress arrived in the afternoon of the 27th at Eaux-Bonues, where her Majesty was re ceived with greatest enthusiasm by the inhabitants, who had assembled to receive her. The Emperor has addressed the following letter to Madame Brunet, wife of the General, who was killed on the Malakhoff Tower : " Palace of the Tuileries, June 25. " Madame —General Brunet has just been struck with death at the moment when.he was giving his coun try a marked proof of his courage and devotedness. France, who has long since ranked him amongst her bravest defenders, now counts him amongst those whose loss she most seriously feels. For myself, who knew how to appreciate all the merit of him whom you be wail, I sincerely take part in your sorrow. Receive then the expression of my profound regret, count on my special interest, and believe in all my friendly sentiments. " NAPOLEON." The Tunisian Prince Mahmoud. Bey, cousin of the reigning Bey, arrived at Marseilles on the 27th from Paris, on his way to his own country. BOURSE, JUNE 29.—CLOSING PRICES. Cash. fr. e.

A letter from Hamburg states that the accounts which have reached that city from diff rent ports in the Baltic lea - ire no doubt of the fact of the ap pearance of cholera in those ports, and particu larly at the ports more immediately in contact with the English fleet. At Dantzic, which is every week visited by one or two English vessels of war, there have been several cases, and it is said that a number of seamen in the fleet have been attacked, and that - several cases have proved fatal. The Independanee Beige publishes the following letter, dated from the frontiers of Poland, the 24th inst. : " The Grand Duke Michael has returned to Warsaw from his excursion to the environs of Radom, during which he inspected the troops sta tioned on the Austrian frontier. His object in undertaking that voyage was not, as was stated, to have an interview with the Emperor of Austria, who had already left Cracow, and has, no doubt, ere now terminated his tour through the pro vinces of Gallicia. Yesterday morning the Grand Duke attended Divine service in the church of St. Alexander Newski, near the palace of Labienski, which he inhabits, and at seven o'clock p.m. he reviewed the artillery of the garri son. Prince Paske witch, slightly indisposed for some time, is at present nearly recovered. Although suffering he continued to displaythe greatest activity in providing for every emergency, notwithstanding the increased labour entailed on him by the reor ganisation of the Russian corps of army, two of which are placed under his immediate command. In a few days the Marshal intends to undertake another jour ney to inspect this time the militia assembled in the western and central provinces of the Empire, whose armament and equipment are proceeding with celerity. Cholera has reappeared at Warsaw some days since. It has not reached a degree of very great intensity ; the cases, however, amount to be tween 40 and 50 daily, two-thirds of which are fatal. In the military hospitals the proportion of deaths is larger. The authorities have not yet thought proper to publish daily bulletins of the progress of the malady, but the Grand Master of the Police has just issued a proclamation, permit ting smoking in the streets of Warsaw, considering that many regard it as a preservative against the contagion." RUSSIA. THE SIEGE OF SEBASTOPOL. We have received the St. Petersburg journals of the 20th, 21st, and 22d June. The Tnvalide Russe publishes the following de spatches from Prince Gortschakoff : " SEBASTOPOL, 4TH (16TH) OF JUNE. " From the 31st of May to the 4th of June (12th) to 16th) the fire of the enemy kainst Se bastopol was weak ; our daily losses were mode rate. " On the 31st of May (12th of June) the enemy's squadron having' left about 2,000 men, chiefly Turks, at Kertch and Yenikale, returned to the Black Sea. " On the 3d (15th) of June the enemv's squadron, which had been to Kertch, arrived off Sehastopol. " On the other points of the Crimea where our troops are stationed nothing of importance has occurred." SEBASTOPOL, STH (17TH) OF JUNE. "On the sth (17th) of June, at daybreak, the enemy re-opened a furious cannonade against the left half of our line of defence ; at 2 p.m., their fire slackened against the 3d and 4th sections, but commenced with renewed violence against our right flank ; that is to say, against the Ist and 2d sections. " Our batteries replied briskly. At nightfall the cannonade somewhat slackened ; in general it was heavier to-day than on any previous occasion. " This morning at daybreak a division of the enemy, about 15,000 strong, crossed the Tchernaya, near Tchorgoun, and pitched its tents between the villages of Koutschka And Schoulu." " SEBASTOPOL, 6TH (18TH) JUNE, 2 P.M. " After 21 hours of the most murderous cannon ade and most fearful bombardment, this morning at daybreak the enemy gave the assault to Bastions 1,2, 3, and Kornileff. (Bastion 2 is the Malak hoff, and Bastion 3 the Redan.) Driven back on all points, with great loss, the French retreated, leaving 600 prisoners in our hands." Prince Gortschakoff adds— " The heroism of all the defenders of Sebastopol, from the General to the private, has reached the highest point." The Military Governor-General of St. Peters burg has issued the following notifications. Under date of oth (18th) of June, ho says : " A man-of-war and a frigate of the enemy have cast anchor near Schepeleva-Gora, and advices from Soikina-Gora state that the enemy have set fire to some buildings on Seskar Island. "On the 7th (19th) of June the man-of-war and frigate were still at anchor at ScAlepeleva-Gora.." A third notification says : " To-day, the Bth (20th) of June, at 10 p.m., a telegraphic message was received from Cronstadt, that the enemy's fleet, consisting of 13 ships of the line, two frigates, three steamers, and eight gun boats, had let Seskar Island and approached Cron stadt, and without arriving as far as the Tolbeacon Lighthouse had cast anchor at each side of it. AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna in the Silesian, Gazette, says :—" It is stated that in consequence of the reduction made in the effective strength of the army, the superior command of the 3d and 4th corps d'armee will be done away with, and the functions of commander-in-chief, now exercised by Baron de Hess - will be suppressed. Baron de Hess will, ho :never, remain under the immediate orders of one Emperor, in quality of chief of the military chancellery." Another letter from Vienna, in t i e Lloyd of Pesth, states that Prince Gortscha koff has handed a note to Count Buol, the object of which is to prove that the assembling of Russian troops in Poland and Bessarabia is not a measure directed against Austria, but that they are only intended to complete and reinforce the Russian armies of the Crimea and of the Caucasus. SPAIN. MADRID, June 28.—The report of the Com mittee on the Budget has been presented to the Cortes to-day. The majority rejects the financial plan of M. Bruil. M. Figuerola proposes a forced loan, and another member the suppression of farmed stock (estancadas). A letter from Stockholm, of the 20th, states that King Oscar has taken up his residence at the camp formed near that city, under the command of the Prince Royal. His M.ljesty intends remaining there until the middle of July, when he will pro ceed to Christiania, where 3,000 men belonging to the Norwegian army, will be encamped. AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY NIGHT. The United States' mail steam-ship Washington, Captain Cavendy, arrived off Cowes this evening, on her way to Bremen, bringing dates from New York to the 16th inst., 168 Passengers, and $lOO,OOO in specie. The political news brought by this steamer is not of much importance. Telegraphic despatches from New Orleans state, in reference to the Mexican revolution, that ad vices from Brazos to the 10th of June had been received. On the 27th of May Monterey was at tacked and taken by the revolutionists ; General Gardena and 67 other officers were taken prisoners; and 26 cannon with other munitions of war fell into the hands of the revolutionists. All business on the frontier was suspended. It was reported that Cara vnjal had crossed the Rio Grande, and had encoun tered the Government troops. The Washington Union announces that Mr. M'Lane, the United States' Commissioner to China, has been so successful in the execution of his trust that no necessity exists for his return to the East. The steam-frigate Merrimac was launched at Boston on the 14th inst. Dates from Havannah to the 9th inst. state that the island was healthy, and the business dull. Some further movements were being made respect ing the voluntary abolition of slavery as a means of securing the independence of Cuba. On the 29th of May, while Commodore Henderson was being entertained at dinner by the Captain-General of Cuba, 500 slaves were landed at Chorrera, about two leagues from Havannah, two cruisers being in close vicinity at the time. Throughout the Union the grain crops were very promising. Exchange on London was quoted 109 i to 1101, but the increasing arrivals of cotton at the southern p,sts rendered it probable that a copious supply of bills would soon be provided. The stock-market showed greater buoyancy than had been known for many months. Government stocks were steadily rising, and railroad bonds of fair repute were getting into favour. The money market was abundantly supplied. Cotton dull, with increased heaviness. Flour firm, with fair demand for the home trade, but no speculative inquiry. Prime wheat firm. Corn and oats dull, and lower ;•freights unchanged. The ship Lochmaben Castle went on shore on the Bird Rocks on the 4th of June. She had 557 passengers, 210 of whom were taken off by the Sophia M'Kenzie, and 200 tons of cargo were thrown overboard. The remainder of the pas sengers would be saved. THE BRITISH FOREIGN LEGION. HELIGOLAND, June 24. This morning a general inspection and grand parade of the first battalion of Rifles of the German Legion was held by a British reneral officer, who has arrived here for that purpose. They turned out about 600 strong, and it must be con fessed, that, although many of the men have never served before, they performed ' the evolutions+ with the greatest precision, and in a manner which reflects great credit on the officers and drill serjeants entrusted with teaching the men. The appearance of the cqrps is highly Fati,factory, and, indeed, it may be doubted whether the British army can show a finer-looking body of active, healthy, and athletic young men than those now assem bled here. On Tuesday next two steamers are expected to arrive from England to convey this first detachment to the depot at Shorneliffe. Her Majesty's steamer' Otter, Lieutenant Glover, is still engaged in bringing recruits from the neighbouring points of the coast. Her last trip to Bremerhaven was a very successful one, as she returned with no lees than 82 fine young mer. THE FIGHTING OW THE '7TH. The following is an extract from a private letter written by an officer who bas served throughout the campaign in the Crimea : "The general belief in the camp is that General Pelissier wanted to carry on. the assault, but that Lord Raglan opposed it on account of the number of officers lost in the attack on the Quarry works. Entre n'O U3, that affair was sadly mismanaged. The supports and reserves all got mixed up in the work, which became too crowded for regular operations ; and the attacking party were taken in flank by a body of Russians in one of the trenches who ought to have been encountered by"the supports while the assaulting body went on in front. We want better, not braver officers ; the French want, with the exception of a few regiments, better men." UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. CAMBRIDGE, JUNE 29. ELECTION OF THE MARGARET PROFESSOR OF DIVINITY.

The dinner was served in mag nificent style. The Earl Spencer, as president, gave the customary loyal toasts, which were duly responded to. He then proposed the health of the Right Hon. Sir Charles Wood, the First Lord of the Admiralty. Sir C. Wood, in reply to the honour done him, in the most feeling and eloquent t er ms, exp r ess e d hi s deep regret for the great loss the country had sustained by the death of Captain Lyons, one of the most gallant and promising officers in the Queen's navy, and at the same time con gratulated the service that there were many young and efficient officers ready to follow his (Capt. Lyons's) gle. rious and illustrious, but too short career. Sir C. Wood afterwards proposed the health of the chairman,, Earl Spencar. The Earl Spencer returned thanks, saying, that although circumstances had removed him from among the active members of the navy, he had always loved the profession, and had he to begin the world again the naval service would be his selection. LAW OF PARTNERSHIP. (Prom the Times of this clay.) Trading in this country is a very awful affair. If any body doubts it let him read Mr. Bouverie's speech, and he will see what a gulf it is that separates the gentle. man and .the trader. When a gentleman feels any temptation to trade—that is, to share the profits of a commercial enterprise, the law comes to him like a cer tain unmentionable 'personage, and requires him to as sign, if not his body and soul, at least everything else he can call his nwn. Indeed, until lately, any man who once came under an agreemer t to divide the proceeds of a venture did so at the risk of his personal liberty to the end of his days, as well as his estate. His very body belonged to his creditors. No doubt Jack Cade had good reasons for his suspicions of penmanship ; if he had signed his name to a trading contract he might very reasonably never feel himself his own man again. In no other country bas there been so manifest an in• tention in the law that the gentleman shall not be a trader, and the only parallel to the rigour of our com mercial code is found in some local and exceptional rules of nobility. There is a pretty story somewhere of a gentleman in some province of France, before the Revolution, who, having become penniless, and having no other means of recruiting his fortune, was driven to trade. Before he could do this, he had to pre sent himself to some local assemblage of gentry and deliver up his sword, which he did with no little dis tress. Some twenty years afterwards an old man, whom few present could recognise, so great had been the change in himself and those around him, presented him self again at the same place, and, after producing vouchers, demanded back his sword. When it was once more in his hand, he examined it closely- and passed his hand down it, as if he thought it had contracted some rust, not by ill keeping, but by the temporary degrada tion of the owner, so strongly did even he feel that any mercantile employment was a stain upon a gentleman's name. The law of this country on this point evidently takes its tone from the traditions of noblesse. The jealousy, indeed, by this time has changed sides, as jealousies often do. It is not so much that the gentry are afraid of commercial contamination as that the trading classes have hitherto been suspicious of a gentle man trader. They do not want to deal with anybody who does not commit himself absolutely and wholly to the chances of the game. This is the common law of the question. We start with the grand principle that a man who shares the profits is a partner, and, if a partner, he is committed to all the acts and all the responsibilities of his fellow-partners. If a man, having money in a business, gibes up active con cern in it, but leaves his money, with the condition of sharing the profits, he is liable to lose not only the 5,0001. 0r50,0001. he leaves in the partnership, but everything else he has in the world. If a partner dies, leaving his widow and children interested in the profits of a business, till the affairs are settled they are liable any day to find them selves utterly ruined by the loss, not only of their share in the business, but of all their other property. If a gentleman, wishing to encourage an industrious trades man, or to give scope to an ingenious projector, or to develope the resources of a district, advances a sum of money on any condition depending on success,. he may lose not only his venture, but his all. In fact, he ven tures his all by the act. The law is such that no gentle man in his senses should touch a tradesman, so to speak, with a pair of tongs. He must communicate with the intervention of an experienced attorney, who will gene rally advise him to cut the concern altogether, Nor are gentlemen the only people affected by these disabilities, nor are they, indeed, the principal sufferers. It is the case of all capitalists, and there are capitalists of 51. as well as capitalists of 50,0001. If twenty artisans sub scribe 51. a-piece to open a shop, they are all liable for the debts of the shop to the whole of their property. It is the same if they are joint owners of a lace machine, or a row of houses, or a fishing-boat, or anything ese that invites co-operation. The law is unlimited liability. But, while this is the rule, the exceptions are numberless. One would think that our legislation on the subject had been devised by the ingenious authors of Propria quo maribus and As in prcesenti, which, professing to give schoolboys a number of rules, are actually lists of exceptions. Parliament, by separate acts and by the intervention of the Board of Trade, has created a great number of limited liabilities for railways and canals, for banks, for docks, for gas and water works, and for other purposes that can make out a special case for as sociated enterprise. Of course, the greater the number. of exceptions the greater the hardbip of the rule, for the privileged exceptions draw to themselves that capital which the rule deprives of a more general application. No other reason can he assigned for keeping up a pro hibition peculiar to this country than that limited I:ae bility is liable to abuse. Just as much reason could be given for not allowing unlimited liability ; for no abuse is greater than that recklessness which both partners and creditors will often fall into from the consideration that they have the whole estate of every partner to draw upon. Thui the extravagant confidence felt in the bank which failed the other day was owing, not to the known prudence of the bank, not to any particular knowledp;e , of its affairs, but si m ply an d so l e l y to t h e m i staken belie that there were two or three large private fortunes in the firm. The same thing has happened in thous finds of in stances, and so much has the British public got into the way of looking at the private fortunes embarked in a business that the partners are compelled to keep up a show beyond their means, in order to ,ustain the credit of the firm. But the worst evil of unlimited liability is the un limited power it gives to a clever, speculative manfor prey ing on the fortunes of his partner , . He has them in his pocket, and can always keep enougl: ahead of their sur veillance to prevent their rescuing their property from his grasp in time. When unlimited liability is open to such abuses it matters little to insist on the abuses to which limited liability is also exposed. The question should be decided on positive, not on .negative grounds. Is limited liability a useful form of commercial under taking ? Parliament itself replies that it is, for it is no small part of the occupation of Parliament to investigate, select, improve, and sanction schemes of limited liability. It only hesitates to throw open this avenue of commerce to small capitalists and ordinary enterprises ; yet the whole commercial world, both of Europe and America, is dead against us. Every other State has decided long ago in favour of limited liability, and sees in the results no reason for change. THE TURKISH LOAN.. Messrs. Mullens, Marshall, and Ca. y es t er d a y com municated the following document to the Stock-Ex change, by direction of B aron G o ld sm i d and Mr Hors ley Palmer, the contractors for the Turkish Loan : "Bryanston-square, June 28.

The family of Marshal St. Arnaud have publish ed ' at Paris, a selection from his correspondence while exer cising the chief command of the French expedition in aid of Turkey. The letters contain much that is curious. Writing from Varna on the 17th of July,to his brother, he complains : " Our affairs seem to be goingth but time ackwaixis instead of moves on, and will bring the winter in his t rain. To morrow there is to be a grand conference at my q uarters. I should be thankful t o the man who could tell me what forwards.
