"Paper Drapery" is informed that the address asked for is that of Arthur Grainger, stationer, Holborn, W. T 4 - (*um f;,, LONDON, FRIDAY, NOV. 13, 1863. From America we learn by the telegrams arriving this afternoon, and given by us elsewhere, that at vlrions parts of the seat of war there has been more fighting, and that at one or two points there have been effected several important strategic move ments. As usual, however, nothing decisive of any kind has anywhere been accomplished. Everything that is done is simply by way of preliminary. News of interest is promised by the next mail. Nothing additional is told about the relative posi tion of the maim armies under MEADE and under LEE. Charleston advices intimate that the bombardment of Fort Sumter on the 30th of October was the very heaviest yet adventured upon. Between sundown of the 28th and sundown of the 29th upwards of a thousand shots from fifteen inch mortars and 300 lb parrott guns had been belched forth upon u the belleagured garrison—the Federal assail ants Pun the day afterwards, that is the 30th, the dire s t dap of all as already intimated, opening up on For t Sumter from Fort Gregg and Fort Wagner, three monitorse being engaged also in this hellish strife ! Yet ..what comes of it all, when the sm o k e h agcleared away and the havoc can be calculated wounded! ~„ Seven Confederates Ra pv a ` t 'Y if there is great cry in the ro aring of this s tu pendous ar till er y, th ere i s b u t little wool in th e shape at the sl aug ht er cause d by it. At Chattanooga, on thegain 4 28. tn, General HOOKER is reported to have a seri es o f v i ctor i es o f moderate dimensions —of very moder a t e di mens i ons, it will be confessed when We have killed e pitted his own loss to the number o f 350 t kii and wo un d e d against a captur e afterw ards, the h ave fruits s truggle, of seve n Confedera te prisoliers Meanwhile of the the Southerne rs themselves a ppear t o upon that same date, : e ve been adventuring, 28tb, upon an att ack of General GEAR- '5 division the report of Gen eral THOMAS being, however, t h at the assailants h ad then and there been repulsed, being in point of fact driven across Lookout creek from their a& anted breastworks. While f rom London, Tennessee, the intelligence is to the effct that General BRNSIDE'S forces have returned to U the heights overlooking that town, we learn that south of the Tennessee, fifteen thousand Confederate cavalry were preparing to operate on General GP.ANT'S line of communication. In those direc tions, at least, all was movement and energetic preparation. Elsewhere the silence and torpor seem to us, of course, remembering how the main armies aro placed now relatively to each other, rather ominous of a deadly encounter, an encounter that if entered into resolutely by the confronting belligerents, may just possibly prove in some de gree decisive—decisive at any rate in respect to the immediate future reserved for Washington. The Philosophic politician who likes to look be yond the su r f ace, and that regulate th e to moralise on the principles fortun es of :itates draw au interestin g c , map just now gro wt h , between two king doms, both of modern i t .t, if of unequal dignity. Within the last few day s the representative presentative assem blies of tvvo continental ki ng dom s , in not very far a part, gavel been opened by the Sovereign and ended ques tion, but the resemblance p robab ly beganverei gn there. In th e one a p rosperous andloyal people awarded a cord ial g reeting to an c monar ch whose recent ii:nes s added to the warmth of his -') re ception. In the ot her, g loomy silence marked th advent of a capricious and despotic king, Wail: bath sides felt that the true: was over, and 1---4 that the battle for constitutional rights arid liberl ies was about to recommence. Prussia, 7 with. her greater age and the extent cf her t t• l territories, acquired by fraud or force, is yet t far behind the little kingdom of Belgium in all that constitutes the real welfare and happiness of a people, and the security and stability of a Govern ment. She has now to do the work done by En.g. , land some centuries back, by Belgium, it is true, only within the last half-century, but, thanks t o good fortune and a wise ruler, done then so. eft', c tually as to distance many older States. The. text of the two royal addresses may also serve tc. point the moral. The King of PRUSSIiIs speech has already been analysed and discussed in all the capit tls of Europe, and little hope of a wiser and more con ciliatory policy is found in the words, whi , .th were aptly enough handed to him by Herr YoN BIZMARK, the ruling spirit and evil counsellor of the- King's meditations.. Very different from the pro gramme of the Berlin Chambers is the task assigne d to the Belgian representatives. Works of internal im provement and reform, public education,an ,1 enlarged commerce are the topics, and the venerable King is able to employ the usual formalities about foreign relations with morejustice than ma nyother crowned heads. He has some right to speak of receiving " marks of confidence and sympathy from foreign Governments," when he is regarded as the arbiter of differences and the referee in cases of disputed international law. The affectionate anxiety dis played by his people on the occasion of his late illness naturally calls for some acknowledgment on the part of the KING, but the first paragraph relating to nati ona l questions is devoted to an event of no small importance to a thriving trading community. The freedom of the Scheldt has been accomplished since the close of the last session, and King LEOPOLD congratulates the Deputies upon this long looked for and important occurrence. The suppression of the burdensome toll has, with the consent of the Netherlands, been fully carriedout, and this, added to the diminution of the dues collected in the Bel gian ports, offers increased facilities to the development of Belgian trade and corn- merce. • " The complete liberty of our fine river," observed the KING with natural gratifica tion, " sanctioned by all the Powers, henceforth constitutes a portion of the public right of maritime States." Another source of satisfaction, and one happily by no means restricted to Belgium, is found in the abundant harvest which there as else where serves happily to counterbalance in some degree the depressio❑ induced by other causes. The KING speaks also of the rapid development of the means of railway communication ; and although it may appear strange to us to find such a topic occupying a paragraph of the Speech from the Throne, or indeed influenced in any degree by the wishes of the Government, we must, remembering the Continental customs, congratulate the Belgians on the readiness with which the authorities enter into the public necessities. The remaining topics of the address are all subjects of internal improvement, such as the revision of the Commer• cial and Criminal Codes, the extension of Public Instruction, and the favourable representation of Belgian talent made at the English Exhibition. It is a good sign when such topics are the promi nent features in a royal speech at a time when the whole of the neighbouring states are agitated by difficult and weighty questions. Prussia distracted by internal dissensions and perilously involved with Russia in regard to Poland, Austria occupy ing a doubtful and invidious position with regard to Italy, Denmark waiting fur the attack of the Diet, and the whole body of German potentates and peoples perplexed and anxious respecting the ne Iv movement in favour of unity, may all find something to envy in the obscure little kingdom which manifests so striking au example of the blessings of Constitutional Government and liberal policy. The quiet and cautious LEOPOLD would probably hardly be accepted as a model by any of the younger and more ambitious rulers of those States, yet there are somo points in which they would do well to copy him. By his prudent and tolerant rule he has brought his kingdom safely through that awkward and dangerous transition state which follows on a disturbance of existing institutions and dynasties. Though not a model monarch, or perhaps a very high-minded King, he has known, like Queen ELIZABETH, the art of ruling his people. He has always avoided those trials of strength into which the King of PRUSSIA so rashly plunges, forgetting that it is possible for Governments, as well as indi viduals, to get into such a position that retreat is undignified and advance unwise. The vicissitudes of King LEOPOLD'S career have been singular and romantic, and its clos3 sees the family of the COBURGS in a very different position in Europe from the one they occupied at its opening, and the next occupant of the throne of Belgium will assume a steadier and more prosperous seat than the heir of many greater dignities. It is to be hoped, however, that King LEOPOLD may yet be spared t 3 his people. This is not a crisis in which age and experience can be well replaced by youth however vigorous, or energy however daring. The craftiness of some, the insolence of others, the general uncertainty and suspicion, call for wise heads, no less than strong hands and stout hearts, in the Council chambers of Europe. In such assemblies the absence of the venerable ruler of the little Bel• Dian Kingdom would be a 1086 to be sincerely re gretted by every lover of wise and moderate coun- cils, and a vacancy not easily to be filled. It is very desirable that the subject of the Volun teers should be from time to time brought forward to keep alive the interest in the public mind, and to stimulate those who are concerned in the affairs, to use every exertion, and act with the utmost a ance.

Of are made by one well versed in all discusses, and therefore it x bto to dwell upon some of his most striking ctltewee , is desirable matters he consider his leading suggestions. In the fi tB' and rst place the question of a Parliamentary grant was analysed by his lordship, and he very forcibly pointed out , the necessity that existed for this step. Notwith standing the objections raised and the doubts en . tertained as to the advisability of such a course, all inquiries and investigations terminated in the same result, and the grant was indisputably proved to be a fitting and desirable one. The fact was that the force could not have been kept up at its then state of efficiency, if some assistance had not been afforded to it, for the exertions ;hat had been made and th e sacr ifi ces e ff ec t e d by p. ivate indivi duals at the commencement of the un - ertaking had rHE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 13, 1863, of course their limits, and could not be expected to continue, and to bo persevered in at the same rate for any lengthened period. Yet, as objf2ctions will never cease to be raised on ever public q uestion, and as there i s no pr i• 7 ./ vat e arrangement which does not call forth the sneers of cavillers, and awaken the fears of the timid, and the doubts of the undecided and hesi tating, so when this difficulty was supposed to be solved, the next news was that the assistance afforded would invalidate the position, and detract from the character of the volunteer establish ment. These exceptions were disposed of by Earl DE GREY, in a very satisfactory manner. He showed that no such detrimental influence would exist as had been predicted by some, and thus appropriately alluded to the unchangeable characteristics of the institution. He said that "it still maintained the free gift of time, the unpaid services of the force." Perhaps the present posi • tion of the Volunteers is quite as trying in its way, and as eventful in its ultimate issue as when first its arduous undertaking was resolved upon, and its earliest efforts spread astonishment and awakened admiration throughout the land. The time has now come for a solid basis to be formed to an undertaking that affects so materially the interests of the community, and upon whose success the safety of the country so immediately depends. Therefore the advice of the noble Secretary for War is particularly noticeable, when he says that which is now required is " Permanence." This is gene rally the touchstone of success, and the trial of merit, and often does it occur that some really fair, seeming prospects are shorn of their glory and bereft of their strength, as time goes on and trying circumstances occur. There is no reason to doubt that any adverse or unforeseen combinations will detract from the high state of efficiency to which the Volunteers have reached, or prevent their main taining the high and honourable post among the lasting military defences of the country. The last injunction laid upon the Force, in the excellent address referred to, was the absolute neces sity of preserving strict discipline. This may, perhaps, be rather unpalatable advice to some wild enthusiasts who wish to rush to glory without any restraining check or the interposition of the lets end hindrances of routine, and regulations, and it may offend the prejudices of others who desire to enjoy the privilege of direct influence, and will be apt to imagine that the prestige of the concern is lost if independence is not the ruling spirit of the hour, and vexatious orders are paramount to all individual predilections and control, peculiarities and prejudices. Let these demurrers take to heart and ponder deeply on the wise words of the Secre tary for 'War. When he tells - them that no man is fit to command who has not learnt to obey, and that without discipline they will be but as an armed mob, but that with its agency they may become a "valuable supplement to an army," he declares to them sober and salutary truths. There is a com pensatory result for all efforts that are made in the path of duty,and the sacrifices that are required and demanded of those who would serve their country faithfully, and perform a real and lasting service in their generation, are always attended with a beneficial influence on the community that accords them, and imparts to their votaries the spirit that deserves success if it cannot command it. Taking leave of Earl DE GREY'S admirable oration' and earnestly concurring in his testim any as to the volunteers adding another bulwark to the throne, and " increasing the defences of their native coon • try," there seems one thing to remember before quitting this subject. When Ministers aro award ing their approbation, and Parliament voting its grants to the efforts and support of the institution of volunteers, it should not be forgotten that neither cabinets nor senates called it forth. It was not established through the deliberation of councils, nor arranged by the decrees of the Legislature, but it sprung forth at the spontaneous suggestion of the community. It is a testimonial from the genius of the nation at large—it is a people's offering to the defences of the hearths and altars of their lend. There fore,whatever restrictions a re imposed by necessity or changes wrought by expediency, it must not be forgotten what was the rise and origin of our Volunteer forces. That, however, must not be laid aside and forgotten, and the chief spell which =- tributes to success will be banished, if ever this grand and glorious institution is deprived of that spirit of independence which should be ita ruling passion. There will be nothing which has so affected and influenced the events of the day to a happy issue and a peaceful termination, as the marvellous upspringing of the Volunteers through the length and breadth of the land. It breathed of hope to the weak at home, and it infused fear to the strong abroad. " The nation of shopkeepers" proved ready and willing to defend themselves, and protect their interests, against the encroachmentsof any poten tate near or distant. What has . , been formed in danger and difficulty should be preserved inviolate, in its style and spirit, so that, amid the chances and changes now so prevalent in the political at- mosphere, there may be one point of reliance. and one stronghold of security, which friends, and foes must alike acknowledge to be sure and lasting. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. [REUTERS TELEGRAM.] AMERICA. QUEENSTOWN, Nov. 13. The Royal Mail steamship Scotia, from New York on the 4th inst., arrived here this morning, with 163 passengers and 160,336 dole. in specie. She landed 8 passengers, all mails, consisting of 101 sacks, and proceeded immediately. All well. The Scotia has made the passage in eight and a half days. NEW YORK, Nov. 3 (Evening). (Per the Scotia.) Railroad communication has been re-opened be tween Alexandra and Warrenton. Mosby's gueril las are still operating around Warrenton. An engagement took place on the 28th at Chat tanooga, in which General Hooker captured seven prisoners and 1,000 rifles, losing 330 killed and wounded. General Thomas reports that the Con federates attacked Geary's division on the 28th, but were repulsed and driven from their breastworks across Lookout Creek. All has been quiet at Chat tanooga since the 29th October. Fifteen thousand Confederate cavalry, under Wheeler, are in the neighbour hood of Decatur, Forrest, and Roddy, Courtland,daand Tuscumbia, south of the Tennessee river, prepared to operate on Gen. Grant's line of communications. General Burnside's forces have retreated from London, Tennessee, to the heights commanding the town. Charleston advices received at Richmond to the 30th state that the bombardment of Fort Sumter on that thy was the heaviest that has yet taken place. From sundown on the 28th to sundown on the 29th 1,200 shots from 15-inch mortars and 3001 b. parrott guns were thrown against Sumter. On the even ing of the 30th the Federals opened upon the north east angle of Fort Sumter from Forte Gregg and Wagner, and two other batteries on Cumming's Point. Three monitors were also engaged. The Confederate casualties were seven wounded. The bombardment continued, but was slackening. General Dinka has returned to New Orleans, to command the expedition, which, it is reported, will land on the Texas coast, and form a junction with Franklin, whois advancing via Opelonsas. Franklin has occupied Opelonsas after a slight skirmish. Guerillas still infest the banks of the Mississippi, firing on passing• steamers. General Butler's new command is said to include Baltimore, Fort Monroe, Norfolk, and North Caro. Tina—Schenck and Foster being both superseded. A mass meeting of the United Tamminy and Mozart Democracy has been held at New York. The Governor of New York made a speech, saying it was statistically proved that every twelve months the Federal army lost, from various causes, one-half of the men in service. He declared that the war, as carried on by the Administration, could only end in ruin and national bankruptcy. Democracy proposed to add conciliation to the power of force. He denounced the effJrts of the Administration to centralise power and diminish State rights. The Administration has dealt unfairly with New York in regard to furnishing troops, and favoured New England. At a complimentary visit to the New Jersey municipality, Admiral Lisvoski said he was sure that the Emperor of Ruesia sympathised with the North in the present unjust rebellion, and hoped and believed, as he himself did, that the North would be successful. He should shortly take as many of his fleet as possible to Waehington to winter there. Nov. 4, Morning. The Republicans have gained the elections in New York State. Their majority is estimated at from 15,000 to 20,000. In New York City the Democrats have lost 10,000 votes since last year. The Republican ticket has been elected in Massa chusetts by a majority of 40,000. The New York limes believes that the Confede rates are executing a movement against General Burnside. Money tight. Gold, 44 per cent. premium. NEW YORK, Nov. 2 (Evening). An extensive conspiracy has been discovered i❑ Kentucky and Ohio to liberate the Confederate prisoners at Camp Chase and overthrow the State Government. Numerous persons have been arrested. Another expedition has sailed from New Orleans to some point on the Texan coast. General Butler has superseded General Forster in the command of the deparimeni of Virginia and North Carolina. At a democratic mass meeting held at New York the Poles were lustily Oeered, and, vigorous groans given for the Russians.: Twenty thousand fUrloughed soldiers have left Washington for New York. They received free transportation, it being understood that they would vote for the republican'tiCket on the election day. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, Nov. 3 (Evening). Money has been extremely tight since Saturday, it being difficult - 0 borrow money on call at 7 per cent. The tightness is attributed to the large public conversions of the currency into 5 dol. 20c. bonds. Stocks have been unfavourably influenced by the tightness of the money market, but are re covering slightly. Yesterday there appeared less stringency in the Stock Market. Gold 461 ; per teat. premium, at which quotation it has been steady since Saturday.

THE POLISH INSURRECTION. POSEN, Nov. 10. The Posener Zeitung publishes the following from its Warsaw correspondent : " Half the population will soon have been tran sported to Siberia. On the night of the sth inst. some 20 persons were arrested in the house of Al. Kruppe, Zytsa-street. The Muscovites boast of having discovered the printing-office of the National Government. This is at least the tenth clandestine establishment they have found out, but the decrees of the National authorities, nevertheless, continue to appear in print, M. lVeuglinski, formerly a member of the Council of State, whose capability was much appreciated by the Grand Duke Con stantine, has been arrested. Dr. Januskiewicx has experienced the same fate. Rumours continue to be current that General Berg has resolved upon striking terror into the Polish ladies. One of their number is to be publicly beheaded. Report has even pointed out the intended victim in a sister of the order of St. Felician, named Trochanownka, recently arrested." WARSAW, Nov. 10. The night before last the respected citizens Wyszynaki, Wenglinski, Bayer, Krnastil?,k, Rawicz, Majewski, and many others, with several ladies, were sent away by railway to Russia. E4ch prisoner will be informed in St. Petersburg, whether it has been decided that he should be conveyed, alone, separated from his countrymen. In place of being submitted to any examination, these ladies and gentlemen have simply been informed that the Government considers them of position and influ ence sufficient to render their removal desirable. They were permitted to take leave of their families, who received a day's notice to get everything pre pared for their relatives' departure—a favour hitherto not extended to persons transported with out examination or trial. A search of an extremely minute character has been made at the residence of the Rector of the Warsaw University, the aged Mianowski. Singu larly enough, it was executed while the rector was at tea in the house of General Berg. Nothing of a compromising nature was discovered. It has been previously stated that, by demand of the military tribunals, the prisons of the Inquisition have been given up for the incarceration of political offenders. The head of the Department of Justice, Miszurtd, represented to Count Berg that promis- cuous confinement of civil prisoners still under examination in the narrow space of the House of Correction, where they could not be kept apart from each other, frustrated all kinds of examina tion, and was calculated to defeat the ends of justice. Count Berg replied that political criminals were the most important, and measures for their safe detention of the greatest moment. It is said that after this evening permission will be given to appear in the streets up to ten o'clock without a lantern, and that every place of enter tainment that will have music shall be allowed to remain open until the same hour. The object is supposed to be to withdraw the people from the brooding and reflective life within doors, to which they were compelled by the lantern nuisance and the prohibition to go out after nine o'clock. The majority of the Warsaw ladies appeared yes terday for the first time with coloured bonnets. To• day—the first upon which the wearing of mourning dress will be supervised—it is thought no ladies will go out who can avoid it, to escape possible an noyance from over-zealous agents of the police.

WARREN'S LAW STUDIES. A Popular and Practical Introduction to Law Studies, and to .Every Department of the Legal Profession. By Samuel Warren, D.C.L., Q.C., Recorder of Hull, and Master of Lunacy. Third Edition. Two Volumes. William Maxwell. Although that unmistakeable stamp of success, " Third Edition,' , is conspicuously visible on the title page of this, in every sense, weighty treatise, the work is essentially a new work altogether. The fruits of the learned author's labours since they were first put forth have ripened : or, rather, to adopt an apter metaphor—the sturdy and apparently ample bole, already familiar to the law students of an earlier period, has here expanded, ring by ring, during the last six years, has struck deeper ruot, and spread forth wider branches, in all directions. It is umbrageous now to the extent of seven hundred and eighty-four leaves. As the result of re searches at once the most minute and the most comprehensive, of a scrupulous attention to details throughout, and of assiduous application in regard to the symmetry and lucidity of their arrangement, the work, if viewed merely as a reprtory of pro. fessional information, is not only very remarkable, but is, beyond that, entitled to our most cordial and earnest admiration. It is remarkable, however, far more than for the value of the materials out of which, or for the merits of the design upon which, it has been constructed. It is peculiarly and espe cially remarkable for the philosophical spirit in which the whole of it has been conceived, and with which every particle of it may be said to have been more or less animated. Mr. Warren, we observe, frankly acknowledges in his elaborate preface to this third edition ot his "Law Studies" that, when occupied in entirely re-writing the work and, while thus rewriting it, enlarging it so very con siderably, he throughout his labours " en deavoured to keep steadily in view" the impressive advice conveyed to all thoughtful readers, in a passage contained in Another Preface-- that penned by Lord Bacon as an introduction to his "Elements of the Common Law of England." The passage may be found here at page viii, in its entirety—beginning, "I hold every man a debtor to his profession." It furnishes us at once with a key to-what might otherwise have remair.ed an almost inscrutable mystery, meaning by that Mr. Warren's spontaneous acceptance of the responsi bEities devolving upon one adventuring upon so very laborious and complicated an enterprize. Conscien tiously he has held himself, as Lord Bacon saith he holds every man, to be—" a debtor to his pro fession." If it were solely by the production ot this one comprehensive and substantial work —nobly has. telr. Warren acquitted himself of that debt of his to his profession. Bat, by other works of a remarkable, though of a lesser, value than that attaching to the present, he had already, in this sense (it may have been unconsciously, so to speak, instinctively) acted in accordance with the suggestion of the philosophic Lord Chancellor. His admirably well digested epitome of " Blackstone's Commentaries," now one of the recognised text books at our two ancient Universities—his masterly series of discourses eddressed to intending Attorneys and Solicitors, discourses orally delivered by Mr. Warren, some few years back, at the Law Institu tion, in Chancery-lane, prior to the date of their original publication—an occasional digest of im• portant subjects relating to especial divisions of our legal administration, as, for example, one in reference to Parliamentary Law or the Law of Elections : professional works of this kind Mr. Warren has at intervals contributed to the book shelves of his professional brethren, as one readily and eagerly holding with Lord Bacon, that every man is a debtor to his profession.. This, more over, it should also bs especially remembered, in his instance, while he himself, throughout these thirty years, has been actively engaged in his profession as an advocate, without the bar and within it, in the stuff gown and in the silk. The man who has thus, during very nearly the lifetime of one entire genera. tion, been toiling energetically in his profession, both at the desk and at the bar—having, quite apart from his profession, in very despite of the proverbial jealousy of that most jealous mistress the Law, as sumed and held a very high and brilliant position as one of the chief contributors to the popular and imaginative literature of the age. The author, in his youth, of " The Diary of a Late Physician !" The author, in his early manhood, of " Ten Thousand a Year !" The former of these two celebrated works sounding, prematurely, and in thrilling chords, the whole gamut of human suffering from the treble to the diapason. The latter of the two constituting, what m i g ht be called par excellence, and without an atom of exaggeration, the typical prose satire of the day.

The villag e of Borzimmen, in the Duchy of Posen, was almost entirely destroyed by fire three days since. :No less than 300 buildings of various kinds were burned down, and of the whole population, amounting to 1,600 persons, 1,200 are now houseless. The fire began at a house where a -wedding party was assembled, and spread with such rapidity that in less than an hour the whole village was in flames) wit h t he exception of the church and five houses, penning meanwhile, in rapid sticcession, though at uncertain intervals, some of the most striking papers that have appeared in Maga since the Golden Age of the " Noctes Ambrosiatm." In. stance this, his charming biographic commemoration of men like Sir William Follett, in his time all but Lord High Chancellor of England, and of that wonderful John William Smith, who, had he lived, might have been almost anything, in spite of his ungainly ways and his singularly unprepos sessing appearance. Instance this—an enthral ling logical web to disentangle, a mysterious literary nut to crack, call it what you will, entitled interrogatively " Who was the Murderer ?" Finally, instance this—in a lighter vein, yet one that we should almost be tempted to designate hisforte,that comical poking of fun at men and things, after the fashion of Gresset, laughing out radiantly at us among the motley " Tales from Blackwood" under the fantastic title of " Ticttler among the Thieves." Other miscellaneous writings of Mr. Warren, there are, that—let us frankly con fess it—we don't in the least admire. Eccen tricities of authorship, for example, like " The Lily and the Bee," , writings that aro for us as if they had been penned in some unknown tongue, that are about as comprehensible to us, let us say, for that matter, as the signifi cation of the awful word abracadabra. As to the merits of the work, now more particularly, how ever, under consideration, there could hardly, one might suppose, be two opinions. The hinting of a fault, or rather of a whole multitude of faults, in regard to these " Law Studies"—perhaps we ought rather to say in reference to the captious and snarl ing criticism we are about, just for one moment, in passing, to particularise, the hesitation of a dislike, of a bitter personal dislike, derived from some name less source, in regard to the learned author of these pages, could alone be accounted for, very recently, by the fact that the cynicism resulting in those two amiable achievements, the hinting of those faults, the hesitation of that dislike, caine to view in the 'columns of that clever, sneering, brilliant, offen sive, delightful, intolerable, weekly journal, dubbed some time since by Mr. Thaokeray in a moment of Grandisonian irritation the Superfine Review ! l'hat Mr. Warren's " Law Studies" are not perfect —well, cela va sans dire. Errors of fact inevitably creep into these widely ranging surveys of a learned profession, a profession, moreover, which is perpetually undergoing changes of all kinds in the way of modification or development. All the time that Mr. Warren, during these last six years, has been laboriously occupied in writing these pages and revising the proofsheets with an evidently scrupulous and cautious exactitude, the laws of the realm in respect to several most important departments have been undergoing a series ot remarkable transformations. The task here under taken to be accomplished by him has, therefore, been all the while one of extraordinary difficulty and delicacy. It has been something equivalent to taking a photograph of a dissolving view. The survey of every department of the legal profession has, however, in this comprehensive " Introduction to Law Studies" not only been steadily pursued throughout those six years, but has at length at the end of them been most happily accomplished. That here and there, in exceptional cases, Mr. Warren's revision of 1568 octavo pages has not been tho roughly completed, even in the leaf devoted to the errata, is hardly to be wondered ate Those oversights of the kind, however, which have alone caught our attention, upon a careful examination of the two volumes, are of such microscopical minuteness, are of such utter in significance, intrinsically, that to particularise them as substantial objections to the value of the work would be the veriest inanity of hypercriticism. Omissions of such vital importance, for example, from that page already reverted to (xxxi.), set apart for the corrigenda—as that Sir George Bowyer is mentioned at p. 351 as Mr. Bowyer, where allusion is made by the author to the learned baronet's " Commentaries on the Jonstitutional Law of England." Or, again, as that Sir Edward Creasy, upon the very next page (p. :352) is spoken of as Mr. Creasy, in reference to that Indian Judge's book on the " Rise and Pro gress of the English Constitution." Objections nave been raised—in the same petty spirit of fault finding for the mere love of that cynical pastime—by reason of Mr. Warren's gravely enforcing upon the attention of the more youthful, and we will presume also more in differently-educated, law students, the enormity of such vulgar slips of the tongue, as the ellision of their U's, or the interchange of IT and W, or, direst outrage of all, in this way, upon our sense of hear ing, the insertion of an at between a final and initial vowel. Atrabilious, indeed, must have been the temperament, or, at any rate, the mood, of he reviewer who could seriously direct this pre posterous charge (viz, that of giving superfluous advice) against Mr. Warren—seeing that at p. 226 there was ample reason under the critic's gaze, for having his ill-humour laughed away by a whimsical little illustration in respect to the interpolated a—to wit " Amelia Anne, masquerading as Amelia Ranne." Objections of so very frivolous a kind, in truth, as those already indicated, are as completely beneath the learned author's consideration, as might be exceptions taken in the hearing of a Gothic architect to some casual flaw or stain upon the nose of a gur goyle. Fail to coincide with the conclusions ar rived at by Mr. Warren in the course of his elabo rate treatise, we cannot but do repeatedly, as is but natural, indeed, in regard to a work so elaborate and comprehensive in its character. His opinions, for example, as to the absolute unans werableness of Cbiliingworth's argument in that famous divine's reply to Matthias Wilson, otherwise Edward Knott, we take to be an utterly extravagant exaggeration. Imagine yourself, (he says, to the Student Reader), in the place of that unhappy opponent of Chilling worth—" Can you find an instant's opening ? Is your opponent ever off his guard ? Does he ever make a false thrust? Or fail of parrying the best of his antagonists ? Can you discover, in a word, a defect, or a redundancy, in either thought or ex pression ?" The mere extravagance, this, of ejacu .atory, we will even say, of adulatory and hyper bolical admiration ! Again, we cannot but deem it to be, either a very reprehensible reticence, or a very singular forgetfulness, the omission of any reference whatever to William Cobbett's wonderful " History of the Protestant Reformation," where reference is made to the annals of that extraordinary move meat : although due attention is directed to " the Romish view of it" obtainable from Dr. Lingard's History of England, and to "the Protestant, or Church of England view of it," to be found in " Palmer's Treatise on the Church of Christ." Cobbett's masterpiece being in reality one of the most powerful and notable histories—to our thinking incomparably the most powerful and notable history—of that period and that movement, any where discoverable. Hardly, moreover (speaking now upon a totally different subject), can we do otherwise than avow our unwillingness to assent to the accuracy and validity of the astounding con clusion arrived at by Mr. Warren, at the close of his very able and remarkable definition of the differ ence between the strictly legal and the strictly con stitutional. It seems to us, in truth, little less than /e7,i5 maieste to dream for one moment of averring as an incontrovertible and irrefragable truth that—lf the spirit of Englishmen had degene rated so far as to tolerate and approve an Act abolishing trial by jury, prohibiting public meetings, and repealing the Habeas Corpus Act, the Bill of Rights, and the Great Charter, then it would be both legal and constitutional. Legal ?—Yes ! Constitutional ?—a thousand tim es No! Constitutional? —why, the whole Constit u ti on , of any such act as that, would be, ipso facto, the passi ng swept out of existence, would be, utterly annihilated. The application of the word to any such Act, therefore, would be nothing less than the most fantastic of misnomers. Fright fully legal such a proceeding would be on the part of a degenerate Parliament, but never Consti tutional. Widely divergent at times, however, though our opinions, our convictions, our sentiments may be—" wide as the poles asunder"—nay, differ ing though we may do, Coto ccelo, upon one or two vital matters of discussion—we cannot possibly, at :any time or under any circumstances, do otherwise than respect the arguments put, forth byMr,Warren, even where we are the least disposed to recognis their validity. For he writes upon all serious matters, as we have already remarked, in an elevated and philosophical spirit. He writes, moreover upon all the loftier themes that naturally come here, in sequence, under his consideration, with what we are ever eager to respect, a profound conscien tiousness. Reading his book thus, as we have done, with a ready sense of the seriousness with which it has been penned throughout, we would apply to it, now that it is completed, the very words in which Mr. Warren himself comments upon Dr. Arnold's " Introductory Lectures on Modern His tory." No words, in fact, that we ourselves might put together could be more strictly applicable to these two goodly volumes of Mr. Warren's Law Studies. " They abound in fruitful and practical suggestions, which cannot be entered into here, and all of them it is not to be expected that every in dependent inquirer will adopt, however great his deference to manifest worth and ability." The panoramic view here unrolled with so much effect before the aspiring Law Student by this ripe scholar, this practised lawyer, this gifted man of letters—is certainly calculated to fill the student-reader's heart, at one time, with a highly inspiriting sense of encouragement, at another with the liveliest feelings of despair. Educated according to Mr. Warren's system, tutored under the wonderfully elaborate directions here so minutely and categorically defined, the Law Stu dent need have the eyes at once of a house-fly and of an eagle, the frame of an athlete, the digestion of an ostrich, the learning of a Scaliger, and the accomplishments of a Crichton. He is told frankly that, if he expects to make anything like a figura in his profession, he must needs take within his view (and that not superficially, but searchingly) the whole range of human knowledge. Proficiency, to him, is essential, in logic, rhetoric, and elocution, in philology and classical literature, in chronology, history, geography, and political philosophy. It will be well for him, he is here told impres sively by his Mentor, if he has tried the vigour of his intellectual pinions by soaring into the empy rean of the high mathematics. Political economy, he must be master of ; ditto of medical jurispru cence. If he has a taste for anatomy, chemistry, botany, mechanics, zoology, geology, and the science of navigation, it will be so much the better for him, as a wrestler for place and for advancement among a crowd of gifted competitors. Mercantile and agricultural knowledge, he must needs acquire betimes, no less than a certain intimacy with all the acts and all the sciences. Adied to which, fsr legal lore alone, he has to work his way (heaven knows how laboriously !) through a whole vast li brary of sombre law books, dating from old dead and gone Bracton down to living authorities like Broom, and Mayne, and Warren himself, and Philli more, The mere enumeration of these legal autho rities which the student, by the way, is required to tackle, not to skim over lightly like one of those charming naughty little primrose livraisons of M. Charles Paul de Kock, but thinkingly to coon, steadily to devour, and in wardly to digest—the mere enumeration of these names seems as suggestive of despair, as to an intend ing reader at the British Museum might be the first crossing the threshold of that noblest walhalla of literature in the world, the circular library or reading room down in Bloomsbury. Let not the eager, but momentarily discouraged student be so discouraged. If Mr. Warren, in thus uncompromis ingly opening up before his gaze the long and arduous path he is required to traverse, pitilessly seems to suggest only visions of dismay—let the student still follow out his Mentor's argument con fidingly, and he will soon discover that these same pages have a heartening influence as well. It is not only that in a wonderful little footnote at page 397 he will hear how Edmund Saunders, origi nally an errand boy in one of the Inns of Court, rose at length, from that humble station, in life to be an attorney, to be a barrister, to be one of the most able and learned of practitioners, finally, to be the Lord Chief Justice of England ! Neither is it merely that the golden apples of the Hesperidean garden of the law are here hung forth in tempting array for the student's contemplation, not as a Itlaada manthian punishment before the lips of Tantalus, but as fruits of toil to be culled by the more adventurous —golden apples here displayed by Mr. Warren in his appendix, singly ani in clusters, from great Brob dignagian lumps of deliciousness like the £lO,OOO year of the Lord Chancellor, the £B,OOO a year of the Chief Justices, the £6,000 a yeai of the Master of the Rolls, and so forth, down to such wretched little wizzened russettings or crabs(sour grapes some, perhaps, might whisper) like the four guinea per annum salary of the Durham, or even the two guinea per annum salary of the Wareham Recordership! Incentives, though the enume ration of these numerous, and many of theta costly, prizes which are to be won at the bar of England, may be, doubtless are, to those con fident in their own powers, and seriously ambitious of winning success—the heartening influence here spoken of, as exercised over the energies of the earnest law student, by Mr. Warren's bracing and invigorating treatise, is rather to our mind discern able in the manly tone in which the whole book itself is written, in the reverent spirit in which it is conceived throughout, a spirit so reverential of its kind that the last sentence of the work closes quite naturally, quite unaffect edly, with a passage from Holy Writ. Mr. Warren, in regard to this important Practical Intro duction to Law Studies and to Every Department of the Legal Profession, has at length completed his labours, and completed them most successfully. Having, quite frankly, in our foregoing remarks taken exception t o w h atever appeare d to US in anY way seriously to r equ i re it, i n a wor k so peculiarly comprehensive and var i ous , we ma y n ow all the more unhesitatingly offer to the learned author of it, our congratulations upon the general excellence of this his latest achievement. For, it is only fair to Mr. Warren that we should speak of the book quite plainly, as nothing less than an achievement. And it comes to us fittingly enough from one who has : already earned for himself among his contempo raries a conspicuous position both in law and In. literature. THE KING OF PRUSSIA'S DETERMINATION. At the celebration of the anniversary of the fours' dation of the Cathedral of Magdeburg, the King of Prussia made use of the following language, in answer to the ad dress presented to him :—" I feel the overwhelming weight of tho struggle which God has imposed on us, but I also know what I owe to my people and to the crown of nohow zollern, which has been transmitted to me by inheritance to maintain it courageously to the end. Come what may, I shall inflexibly persevere in what I consider to be re quisite for the good and for the inde2endence of the countrY. I shall not turn aside from the path into which I have entered, and if you continue faithtul to the oath you have sworn, we shall be victorious in the end.' According t ° the Magdeburg Gazette, these words made a profound ire' pression. Prince Charles was the first to cry, "Long lice the Ki❑g 1" which was responded to by those present wial enthusiasm.
