This Company is formed, not for the purpose of establish ing a new Marine Insurance Office in rivalry with offices already opened, but with the object of continuing the existing Maritime Insurance business so long conducted by Mr. Henry Case, under the firm of Price and Co., in Exchange-buildings, Liverpool. Mr. Case's services, as underwriter, have been secured upon terms satisfactory to the Directors, dependent in part upon the success of the Company, and without the payment of any "promotion money," either in cash or shares. It is anticipated that whilst the extensive connection al ready possessed by Messrs. Price and Co. will be retained and consolidated by the formation of a Company, the busi ness will, at the same time, be considerably increased in consequence of Marine Insurance Companies being now very generally preferred to private underwriters. The success which has attended the operations of Marine Insurance Companies in Liverpool, may be gathered from the present vaiue of their Shares in the market, viz.:— Amount Present Equal paid. price. to The Thames and Mersey £2 £7 0 0 250 percent. pm. The British and Foreign 2 415 0 137 ~ The Union 2 5 1 3 116 The Empire The Albion •• 2 3 1 3 56 The Mercantile The s tric' est economy will be exercised in working, and the preliminary expenses will consist solely of the actual neces sary disbursements and legal charges. Applications for Shares must be accompanied by a payment of £1 per share, which will be retained on amount of the full payment of £2 per share on the number of shares which may be allotted to the applicant, and will be liable to forfeiture if payment of the remaining per share be not made at the time to be stated in the notice of allotment. Forms of application for shares may be obtained from the brokers, and also at the temporary offices of the Company, 4 and 5, Brown's-buildings, Liverpool. In cases where no allotments are made, the deposit will be returned without deduction.

The Death of the Actuary of the Camden Town Savings Bank. Yesterday afternoon Dr. Lankester, coroner for Central Middlesex, held an inquest at the Elephant and Castle, King's-road, Camden Town, on the body of Mr. Phillip Nuthall King, aged 49, late actuary to the Camden Town Savings Bank. It appears that in consequence of the deceased's recent habits the suspicions of the committee conducting the Cam den Town Savings Bank had been aroused, and on Tuesday evening last they held a meeting, when they discovered that the the amount of about £BOO. S o sa ti s fied were they of the fact, ry that ua they had a beent guilty of forgery and embezzlement to once resolved to give deceased into act custody. On Cook, a detective constable, going to his house in Hamilton-street he found both the deceased and his wife in a state of intoxication, the latter lying on the sofa. He told the deceased with what he was charged, and took him to Platt-street station-house, where his manner sent bb for, and, as described in his / assistant to Dr. Sutherin, was the o divisional strange that surgeon, lSl ev idence, he found r vasV him uproariou s l y d run k, b u t di s covered he had got paralys is of the ri ght side, The police, by his s le directions, made him up a bed in front of the fire, and gave him some hot coffee. He saw him again at five the next morning, when, although sensible, he appeared very ill, and, instead of being taken before the magistrate, was sent to the infirmary, where he died on Thursday. The widow of the deceased, who behaved very strangely while before the coroner, and kept flourishing her hands (which were covered with massive rings) about, attributed his death to what she called " the illegal conduct of the police in taking her husband into custody." Mr. Saul, the infirmary surgeon, sa id w h e n deceased was brought there he was in a comatose state, suffering from apoplectic symptoms. Every possible remedy was ap plied, but he died the following day. Death had, in his opinion, res ulted from apoplexy induced by excessive drink ing. He being taken into custody might have had some effect in accelerating it. Mr. Edward Ingpen, a director of the savings bank, said in answer to a question, that the committee were induced to give deceased into custody, as they h a d a c l ear case of for gery and embezzle ment against him to about £BOO. It was wished to b 3 stated that the depositors would not suffer a penny loss, as the bond for deceased would be paid, and the committee make up the balz!nce.

This action, which was commenced on Friday last, and which was brought to recover a balance of £414 alleged to be due to the plaintiff, after giving credit to the defendant for payments amounting to £275 for extra services rendered by him while the clerk of Messrs. Chappell, the defendant's attorney, in frequenting night houses, getting up evidence in the defendant's divorce case, and expenses incurred in so doing, was resumed this morning. Mr. Karslake, for the defendant, summed up the defendant's evidence, relying on the extreme impro bability of the defendant having entered into any special contract with the plaintiff to pay him for his services while he was the clerk of his attorney, whom he had to pay for the same services, and also on the improbability of such a contract being entered into by the plaintiff', who had been an attorney, without his making any written memorandum of it, or making any allusion to it before the action was brought: The contract rested entirely on the evi dence of the plaintiff himself, and was in no way corroborated. He contended it was plain from the letters produced that the £2OO, less discount, and the £lOO claimed to be payments to him on account by the plaintiff were, in fact, loans to him at his pressing request, made by the defendant, that the plaintiff's claim was wholly without foundation, and his services had already been paid for in Messrs. Chappell's bill of costs. Mr. Powell claimed to treat the transaction as one entirely of business, and proposed to rest his case on the evidence, and to ask the jury had the work been done, and had the expenses sought to be recovered been incurred under a special contract with the defendant. Not a single item of the charges sought to be recovered had been pointed out in Messrs. Chappell's bill, nor had they dared to pro duce that enormous bill to show such to be the ease. He contended that there was abundant evidence to show that the special night work had been done with the knowledge of the defendant, and some of it at his special request. It was also proved that the plaintiff had spent from 15s. to L 3 a night in his expenses. Yet the whole of the expenses allowtal him by Messrs. Chappell did not exceed ss. a night. As to the special contract depending on the credit the jury gave to the plaintiff, its denial depended on the credit they gave to the defendant. If it was asked who was the plaintiff, he had been an attor ney, and Mr. Chappell had known him for 20 years when he engaged him in this matter as clerk. That was some voucher for his respectability. But who, he asked, was the defendant ? He was a young man who a few years ago might have been said to have the world at his feet—the descendant of an ancient and respected family, with an historic name, and possessed of a princely estate, and what was he now as they had seen him in the witness-box P If their judgment was to be formed on the existence of this special contract on the respectability of the plain tiff or the defendant, he confidently placed his client in contrast with the defendant. His friend Mr. Kerslake, when speaking of the plaintiff's claim, had spoken of the cloud of vultures ready to pounce on the defendant, circumstanced as he was, and with such an unfortunate notoriety, and that his friends advised him to resist to the utmost such demands as this. Who were his friends ? Were they Mr. Bugg, his attorney ? or Mr. Chappell, his late attorney ? Talk of vultures, the plaintiff in his demand was a sparrow hawk compared with the attorneys in whose hands he was. He strenuously insisted that there was reliable evidence of the contract, that the work had been done, and the expenses incurred, and that the plaintiff was entitled to his verdict. His Lordship, in summing up, told the jury there was no question that the plaintiff had received a sum of £275, and whether that sum was treated as a payment or as a set off, the question for the jury was, was it enough reasonably to satisfy the plain tiff's demand, assuming him to have done extra work for the defendant ? If they thought it enough, they would find for the defendant. The jury retired, and, on their return, found that the sum the plaintiff had received was sufficient. There was a verdict for the defendant. His Lordship expressed his disapproval of the manner in which the action had been commenced, by causing the defendant's arrest, as a kind of ex tortion which ought not to have been attempted. WELCH V. PASKE. This was an action for a breach of promise o marriage. The defendant pleaded that he did no promise, and that the supposed promise had been obtained from him by fraud when he was drunk. Mr. Montague Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Robinson, and Mr. Palmer appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., Mr. Joyce, and Mr. Campbell Foster for the defendant. It appeared from the opening statement of the learned counsel for the plaintiff that the plaintiff was a young person, about 30 years of age, living with her aunt at Croydon, who kept a baker's and confectioner's shop, and that the defendant had been an officer in the army in the East India Corr pany'L service. In the year 1861 the plaintiff, while at tending in her aunt's shop, was frequently seen by the defendant, who after asking permission to walk out with her eventually wrote to her making her a promise to marry her, and on the 6th of May, 1861 —" I promise you faithfully you shall be my wife." After this promise the plaintiff had frequently visited him at his lodgings, and once during an illness had taken him some delicacies from the shop. Oa the Bth of the same month of May the defendant had written to Mr. Dennis, a grocer in Dorking, and a friend of the plaintiff, telling him how much he admired Mies Welch, and asking him to procure a licence for him to marry her and also a wedding ring. Miss Welch had lent the defendant £6 or £7, and shortly after he chose to pay attention to a Miss Slatter, the daughter of a linendraper in Dorking, whom, to the great distress of the plaintiff, he had paraded up and down before her aunt's shop, and had afterwards married Miss Satter, which bad been a heavy blow to the plaintiff. The defendant, he should show, was well off, and after the death of an aged relative he would come into possession of £2,700 a year. Mrs. Harriet Jones, the aunt of the plaintiff, proved that her niece was about 30 years of age, and sometimes served in her shop, which was a confectioner's. The defendant in March, 1861, was living in Dorking, under the care of a medical man, and in April he came to her shop for almond cakes and French rolls, and asked if Miss Welch was her daughter, and if she might be allowed to take a walk with him some evening. She replied, "No, not with my consent." He asked, " When did she walk out ?" and she told him "sometimes in the afternoon." He afterwards told her that he had proposed to Miss Welch and she had accepted him, and witness told him, " She was old enough to do as she liked." He used to come two or three times a day. He had written a letter to her niece once in her house expressing his " disappointment at not having been able to escort her. Such is life" — and. signed "yours ever." Mr. Robinson pointed out that there were six dashes under "ever." Mr. Justice Byles—Do you 'mean this is for ever and something beyond ? (Laughter.) The defendant had afterwards written the letter containing the promise—" My dearest Eliza, -1 promise you faithfully you shall be my wife.—Yours ever —." This letter her niece bad shown to her to satisfy her that the defendant's intentions were honourable. About June the defendant ceased pay ing his visits and married Miss Slatter, the draper's daughter, who was " p re tty well as to respectability —middling." (Laughter.) The first time her niece saw the defendant walking past the shop with Miss Slatter she nearly fainted, and was very ill in the autumn in consequence of his neglect. Cross-eumineo by Mr, liawkino—The defea- PRICE .4d. STAMPED ....sd. dant was living with De. Curtis, and had also a Lunatic brother living in Dorking. The defendant at first used to go to her shop to buy almond cakes twice a day. The first time she saw him he had two pennyworth of almond cakes, and he asked to be allowed to go into the back sitting room to cat then. He had two almond cakes for a penny, so he ate eight almond cakes a day—(laughter)—na sometimes he had two French rolls twice a day. She did not know whether her niece took him port wine when she visited him, or whether the L 7 the defendant owed her niece was for port wine. She had brought an action against him to recover that sum. She could not tell when nor where this action was commenced. Francis Head Dennis, grocer, of Dorking, proved having received the letter from the defendant asking him to procure a licence and wedding ring for the defendant on the Bth of May. He did not get them. Mr, Velly, of Chelmsford, the attorney to the trustees under the late Mr. Haylefoot's will, was called to prove the defenCant's means and expecta tions under that will, but this evidence was objected to and rejected. The defendant had changed his name to Haylefoot. It was attempted to put in the Royal licence obtained to change his name, which recited his expectations under Mr, Haylefoot's will, but this was also objected to as a copy and rejected, his Lordship saying, if necessary, he would adjourn the ease to give time to obtain the requisite evidence. Mr. Deb_nham, au attorney, who had served the defendant with a copy of the writ in the action, was c filled to prove a conversation in which the defen dant said, " They think because I am entitled to a large property they will get something handsome, but they will be disappointed. Mr. Pasha was in a great passion, because he had served him with the writ, and said, " His wife was a lady, and in the position of such." (Laughter.) Ho did not know that this action was a speculation of Mr. Young, the attorney for the plaintiff. This was the plaintiff's case, Mr. Chambers then summed up, and Mr. Hawkins was proceeding to address the jury, and said this action " was a warning to all gentle men who had a passion for almond cakes"—(a laugh)—when the junior counsel, who for some time had been endeavouring to effect an arrangement, at last did so, and Mr. Joyce announced that it had been agreed be between the parties that there should be a verdict for the plaintiff for £2OO damages, the judgment not to be enforced until three months after the death of Mr. Haylefoot, the tenant for life of the property to which the defendant is entitled. Verdict accordingly. Mr. Justice Byles said the plea of fraud °ugh' not to have been pleaded, and had his strong disap. probation. SECOND COURT. ',Before Mr, Justice Keating and Common Juries. SHEPHERD V. GARRETT. The whole of Saturday was occupied with the trial of this cause, involving bill transactions of so complicated a nature that even the learned Judge at first expressed his inability to understand the evidence of some of the witnesses. The trial was adjourned at the rising of the Court, and resumed this morning. Mr. O'Malley, Q.C., and Mr. J. Best ware for the plaintiff; and Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., Mr. Joseph Brown, and Mr. Clover for the defendant. The action was brought by the plaintiff, as en dorsee of a promissory note for £l,OOO, made by the defendant in favour of a Mr. Parker. The main plea was that Parker represented to the defendant that a Mr. Gladstone was under a liability to him Parker, to pay £l,OOO in respect of certain lands of Mr. Gladstone which the defendant and others had agreed to purchase for a railway, and that if the defendant would pay Gladstone £6,000 in partpay meat of the purchase-money of such lands Mr. Gladstone's solicitor, a Mr. Sandilands, would pay the said sum of £l,OOO to Parker, and thereby Par ker induced the defendant to make the note declared on to secure the payment of £l,OOO to the plaintiff, that Mr. Gladstone was not in effect under any lia bility to Parker to pay £l,OOO for lands or other wise, and that there was no consideration for the endorsement or for the payment of the note. The question for the jury was whether the plea was made out to their satisfaction, and the evidence dis closed a state of facts of the most complicated na ture, interesting, however, to no one but the parties concerned in the transactions described. The jury gave a verdict for the defendant. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS, POST.—Although the retreat of the Danes from the Danewirke has caused but little surprise here, it has excited great consternation and no little corrano tion in Copenhagen. Looking on the map at /he long line of defences which the Danish army was expected to hold, and having regard to the vast dial proportion existing between the invading and tho resisting force, it was almost with a sense of grati fication that we heard that the Danes had to all appearances retired from the unequal strife. In Copenhagen, however, the result is differently viewed. For years the Danish people have been led to believe that the famous fortifications on which so much time, and labour, and money have been ex pended, were impregnable, and the intelligence that they have fallen ere the cannon with which they were mounted had delivered a single volley has come upon them with all the weight of a crushing and unexpected blow. The city is in the greatest com motion. Its population are frantically demanding to be led forthwith against the invaders. The Rigs dag in vain demand explanations from the Prime Minister and the Minister of War of the circum stances which were held to justify the evacuation of the Danewirke, and, in their first burst of indig nation, order the immediate dismissal of their long tried Commander-in-Chief. Unused to their new King, the people in their despair almost fancy that they have been betrayed, forgetful that it is not in the nature of things for a Sovereign to possess an inducement for deserting his people. When it was suggested to the last of the Polish kings, Stanislaus Poniatowski, that he had sold his country to Russia, he replied by the question, "What bribe would you think of offering to a king for his crown ?" The vague rumours which have found their way into the French press, that a revolution has taken place in Copenhagen, that the King . of Sweden has been proclaimed, and that King Chris tian has taken his departure for England, are without foundation; but the fact that such rumours could for a moment be entertained affords strong e vidence of the serious effect produced upon the Danish population by their recent reverses. To them the easy victory of the German f o rces ap pears utterly inexplicable, and t he y feel just . .. as we would feel ourselves if, in the e of i vent nvasin, a hostile army managed to get to the rear of P o,uts mouth and so necessitated its evacuation ere a ohot was fired. But although the Danes have been obliged to abandon the Danewirke, it would is at great error to suppose that the w ar in Schleswig at an end, and that Austria a nd Prussia may congratulate themselves on having secured possession of that Duchy. This is fa r from being the case. Th e D anes h ave certainly been obliged to leave the entrance to Schleswig free, and to abandon what app eare d to us an untenab le position; but they have now ret i red on a line of defences which may with t ru th b e con sidered unassai la ester ble. From the telegram s w hi c h we published yday and this morning, it will be seen that, utter evacuating the Danewirke, the Danish army retreated by way of Flensburg to Dup pel, a very fortified positi on on t h e tern coastof n Schsltersowill y eastern , immediately opposite th of Alsen, to which it stands insomewhat tl e s island - relation that Portsmouth p thd a o h e i s sh to th - elsle ofileV same relation From this position the the German forces, and, as Duppea i rm is y can threaten the t midway between the northern and southern frontiers of the Duchy, can render it impossible for them, except at great risk, to occupy the northern portion. Inde pendently of the strong defences raised around Duppel, the Danish forces will derive an additional protection from their fleet, which will :be enabled from the adjacent fiords to command with its guns the approaches to the Danish position. The island of Alsen will at ,the same time constitute the base of operations of the Danish army , whilst all its sup plies will readily be obtained, owing to the Danish fleet holding undisputed possession of the sea. Nor is this the only strong position from which the Danes may for many months carry on a defensive (Limited) £ FOr•••• 000000000 • •• •• • • Bankers to the Company. THE MEXICAN BANK (Limited).

PROSPECTUS. This Bank is established in order to meet a want which has long been experienced in Mexico—the want of those assured Banking facilities which have done so much to stimulate the industry and develop the resources of other countries. The field before such an Institution, which Mexico and the South American States present, is most inviting. Its re sources in silver are boundless, while the climate of this wonderful country is such that almost every production of the soil can be cultivated to an extent which can scarcely be imagined. With the hoped-for successwhich is to be anticipated from the policy of the new Government, Mexico has a great future before her. Money there commands at all times a high re munerative price, ranging from 10 to 18 per cent., and, as the field will be almost free, the Bank will be able to select those securities which are ample and undoubted, on which to make its several advances. . It will also constitute a favourable feature of the Mexican Bank that, as a strong London Institution, which has already secured to itself promise of the support of influential Mexi can and South American houses, it will command the confi dence of local depositors, who are at the present ti ne in the hands of private money-dealers, but who, so soon as such a Banking Institution is established in their midst, will lose no time in transferring considerable deposits to such esta blishment, as offering a security, ample and sufficient, which the private money-dealers there do not afford. The Mexican Bank will commence its operations in Mexico, and the magnitude of the field there may be estimated by the subjoined statistics : Imports ( f silver into Great Britain from Mexico and South America (except Brazil), for the eleven months ending November 30, 1803 ........ £5,678,913 Imports of gold ditto ditto 3,493,914 'I he exports from this country, consisting of Manchester goods and other Pritish manufactures. are very considerable; and this trade will no doubt be extensively augmented as the empire becomes consolidated and the confidence of merchants in the stability of the Government is secured. The Directors of the Mexican Bank will also establish a Branch in Valparaiso, the great commercial sea port of Chili, acid where the want of the facilities which such an institu tion could afford is much experienced by English and Ameri can, as well as the native mercantile firms, carrying on the great trade of that important territory. Arrangements are in contemplation for the incorporation of an existing successful Banking Institution with the Mexi can Bank. No promotion money will be given in the establishment of the Mexican Bank, preliminary expenses to be confined to necessary disbursements. The remuneration of the Di2ectors left to the Share holders. Prospectuses and forms of applications for shares may be obtain, d of the Brokers, Bankers, Solicitors, and at the Tem porary Offices of the Company, but no application for shares will be considered unless a deposit of £1 per share has been previously paid to the Bankers of the Company.

Fredericia, on the south-east coast of Jut land, and but a few miles distant from the fron tier of Schleswig, stands in precisely the same re lation to the island of Funan which Duppel does to that of Alsan. Fredericia, like Duppel, is strongly fortified, and possesses all the natural advantages which we have already noticed es pertaining to the latter. With a strong force posted at Fredericia, no invading army could enter Jutland without incurring considerable risk of finding its retreat to the South cut off, whilst attho same time the occupation of both Fredericia and Duppel would enable the Danes to attack both in front and rear any army which was so rash as to enter the northern section of Schleswig. Believing, as we do, that the line of the Sehlei, together with the defences of the Danewirko and Alissunde, were untenable with the limited farce at the disposal of the Danish. Commander-in-Chief, we cannot help thinking that he exercised a wise discretion in aban doning them and withdrawing his army to positions in which they can be employed without the certainty of gradual but sure annihilation. Such being the present state of affairs, we must continue to watch their progress with the same curiosity as heretofore. Each succeeding day serves only to give birth to new complications. The little Duchy of Lauenburg, which together with Holstein, sent a joint represene Wien to the Diet, and which, in the universal hubs bub, was generally overlooked, has now been taken under the special protection of the Confederation. Lauenburg, with a loyalty and gallantry which stand in bright relief when compared with the con duct of both Holstein and Schleswig, refused to de sert its Sovereign, the King of Denmark, in his hour of trial, and could neither be cajoled or bullied into making popular demonstrations in favour of the Duke of Augustenburg. The Diet have now re solved on undertaking the administration of the Duchy, waiving for the present the consideration al the title of the two claimants to its sovereignty. At Berlin the semi-official organs of the Government have hastened to disavow the interpretation pntupon its intentions by Lord Palmerston in the course of the debate on the Address. Nothing, say they, can be farther from Prussia's intention than to recognise the integrity of Denmark, The announcement cer- • tainly does not take us by surprise, though it affords a singular illustration of the anxiety which the Prussian nation evince lest they should for a mo ment be supposed capable of acting with good faith. Events are rapidly hastening onward, and the cur tain has just risen on one of probably the most ter rible dramas which have been played out in Europe during the past half century. HERALD.—The old story that when the defend.. ant had no case the plaintiff's attorney was to be abused, is receiving some kind of illustration in the progress of the Townley case. Sir Georg Grey, being put on his defence for letting Townley escape his proper doom, turns round and taus the blame--- not exactly on the lawyer, but on the law itself. When we inquire out of doors " Wno took Townley from beneath the gallows," men will point to the Home Office ; but when we consult a Ministerial oracle we are told " It was Mr. Leech, or Mr. Leech and a bad law that wants mending." If wo could persuade the working men of Lambeth that the blame was simply to be shared between a shrewd attorney and a blundering or mischievous act of Parliament, it would be all very well; but the fast is, that the unsophisticated logic of the working classes is not to be eosily persuaded out of its appre' ciation of palpable facts. These people know eery well that Townley was as sane as Wright, and no less guilty; but they see that the most frantic efforts failed to rescue the latter, while the former was saved from the gallows by a faulty certificate under a permissive act of Parliament. In the case of 1% right, we have a tragedy, while in regard to Townley, whose own crime was tragic enough, we have a comedy of errors, followed up by a farce in which Parliament is expected to take its part and keep its countenance. Sir George, having hung a bricklayer and spared a gentleman, comes down to the House of Commons to set matters right by amending the law. In order to dislodge the Home Secretary from behind his stalking-horse it is not necessary to show that he wilfully favoured the life of Townley because in that case the criminal was a gentleman, or that he left Wright in the hands of the execu tioner beceuse the Lambeth murderer was a brick layer: We need only say, in the first place, that the conduct of the Home Secretary has sufficed to make things present this ugly appearance. Among the ruder class of men, such an appearance of things is taken for the reality, and hence the law is brought into disrepute where it is most important that it should be respected. Having, therefore, referred to this deplorable fact, we need only show, in the second place, that if the Home Secre tary had simply been as shrewd as Mr. Leech, he need not have allowed that gentleman to mike him a species of catspaw for pulling the respectable Mr. Townley out of his mortal predicament. In short, we need not undertake to prove that Sir George was intentionally partial in his administration of jus tice. It becomes a statesman not only to mean well but also to do well. The Home Secretary has simply blundered ; but then the blunder happens to be serious. The Home-office pleads that the law is defective, and to give that plea a semblance of reality Sir George comes down to the house with a measure which is professedly designed to make the law as good as it ought to be. Of course we have no objection to see the law amended, but no alteration in the law will settle the question as to whether or not Sir George " made a mess of it" in dealing with the affair of Townley. There was an extraordinary want of caution displayed by the Home-office throughout the entire proceedings in the Townley case that it is only a fair inference on the part of the multitude that Sir George was a willing captive in the toils of the prisoner's lawyer. " I could'nt help it," says Sir George. " You didn't try," re spond the populace. And the question does not end here. The Home Secretary has not only to settle accounts with the working men of England, but he has given affront to the country magistracy. Some how or other—and we do not undertake to explain all the mysteries of the Home-office—Sir G. Grey and our municipal institutions do not mix up well together. Whitehall is hostile to the Mansion house, and the fountain of honour is intercepted from flowing through the precincts of the City. Not content with snubbing the Lord Mayor, Sir George has got himself into a wrangle with the Derbyshire magistrates, and bids fair to come to a misunderstanding with local authorities gene excepting, perhaps, the Metropolitan Board ca' Works, who serve as a very ! - good foil against the eivio corporation. However, Sir George is going to amend the law in relation to lunatic crimineds, and in doing so he seems to think that he is rr eking matters decidedly pleasant. It is to be eloped that Parliament will not be thus readily diverted from dealing with a grave question. The eccentricities of the Home- Office call for serious consideration, especially when they go to such a length as to weaken the confi dence of the public in the impartial administration of the law. It is daily felt with increasing force that the criminal law of England is being brought, to a very great extent, under the control of the Home Office. A great constitutional principle is thus placed in danger. Such being the serious state of affairs it is mere trifling to suppose that the simple modification of a statute which has been been made to bear a great deal more blame than belongs to it will settle the real question At issue. It is for Parliament to ask whether the action of the law is to be made partial and unsatisfactory by the idiosyncrasies of a Minister who seems to experience a peculiar pleasure in going out of his way to do some stupid thing which shall any good. So far as the case give g avast at amount of annoyance without the possibility of achieving present before Parliament it cannot be said that Sir George Grey has at all improved his position, although he adopted the strategic movement of addressing the house before the papers manceavre were in the hands of the members —a in vain in endeavoured to prevent. Mr. Macdonogh did well urging which Lord Henry existingLesntaaoktxe itself thoroughly that the House should make acquainted with the of the law, and took the common-sense and only correct view - of the case in urging that the existing statute did not reduce the Home Secretary to a mere automaton, and that t h ere f o re, Sir George Grey's first line of defence was altogether untenable. In his other comments on the case Mr. Macdonogh has only echoed the general sentiments of the coun try ; and we venture to say that Sir George Grey never made a greater mistake than when he ex pressed his belief that the course which ho h a d taken was in accordance with public feeling. Oa this, as on other points, the Home Secretary needs to be enlightened, and we trust Parliament will dispel a little of the mist which has gathered around the official eyes, MR.
