Bvo. In the foregoing work it has been the especial aim of the author to ascertain the true interpretation, not only by a diligent use of all the best Modern Commentators, but by exploring the fountain heads of interpretation, as found in the Ancient Fathers, and the Greek Commentators, Scholiasts, and Glossographers. Every apposite illustra tion of phraseology or sentiment to be found in the multi farious and immense Collectanea, both of the Classical and Rabbinical Illustrators (especially Wetstein and Kypke, Lightfoot and Schcetgen), has been selected, and many thousands of original ones have been added. The very vAluable matter derived from the above sources has been digested into one Corpus, iu which each portion is, as far as possible, ascribed to its respective author, and the foreign matter translated into English. . With the whole is interwoven a series of critical remarks, intended to guide the judgment of the student amidst the diversities of jarr ing interpretations, and a very copious body of original annotations, in which the trite reading is, in important ease', discussed, the connexion traced, the course of rea soning indicated, and in general whatever seemed neces sary to complete the Corpus Exegeseos, is supplied by the editor, who has further consulted the benefit of students, by forming a Series of Glossal ial Notes_ on every word or phrase of the least difficulty, and occasionally by giving a new literal translation, or close paraphrase of the sentences annotated on.

THE PARIS ESTAFETTE. Some of our leading merchants are earnestly en gaged in measures for bringing about an improve- ' merit in the Post-office communications with France and the South of Europe. These depend more or less on the Paris estafelte, an arrangement which has now existed - nearly twelve months, but - from which all the advantages of which it is susceptible are certainly not as yet derived. Even with regard to the Paris mellants and the direct communica tion with Lendarby the estVette, there appear to exist impedithents which betoken any thing but a zealous cc-operation on our side of the Channel. These difficulties and the proper remedy for them are well pointed out in the annexed letter from one of the first commercial houses in Paris. to which we have been requested to give publicity : " PARIS, APRIL 11. " In establishing the estafette, our administration of the Post-office has shown great attention to the wishes and the advantage of merchants. It has de frayed the whole of the expence, a very small part of which has been hitherto covered by the increased rate of postage. It would have seemed natural that the administration of the English Post•oliice should also make some efforts to facilitate the correspon dence by estafette, especially as a pecuniary sacri fice was not so much required as more expedition in the conveyance of the bags. But your Post-office has not co-operated with ours in endeavouring to improve the means of communication between the two countries ; and we therefore address you, in hopes that the merchants of London, and your house in particular, will make an application to the Board of Trade, or the beads of other offices, in order to induce them to accelerate the service of the estafette as much as possible. The following are the princi pal points to which attention is requested by our Direction des Posies:— " 1. The estafette bag is despatched from Calais by a special boat, which generally arrives at Dover in time for the London mail. But it happens some times, and particularly in winter, that the boat ar rives at Dover after the mail-coaches have set off, and then the estafette letters, which the French post-office has sent by express, are detained twenty four hours at Dover, and go by the mail of next day ! In such cases, which are not of frequent oc currence, it is desirable that the English post-office will either have the bag sent by express from Dover to London, as is practised for the regular mails which are landed late, or order the mail-coach to wait at Dover for such letters. It may be observed here, that it would be much better that the mhil-coach should set off from Dover at midnight, instead of eight o'clock ; the Calais boat would then always reach Dover in time, and with proper despatch the mail-coach might arrive in London by eight o'clock in the morning. " 2. It is necessary, for the delivery of the letters at Paris- in convenient time, that the express sta:t• from Calais by two o clock in the afternoon, which cannot be done unless the English packet sail from Dover at nine o'clock - in' the morning. This can easily be accomplished, even when the mail leaves London at midnight; but it frequently happens that the private interest of the captains of packets duces them to remain at Doverfor passengers till a late hour, and consequently they arrive at Calais only in the evening, thus rendering it impossible to deliver the letters at Paris till after the hours of business. Strict orders, then, should be given by your Post-office that the estqfette letters should be despatched from Dover for Calais at nine o'clock at • least, and that the packet get out pf harbour earlier whenever the tide does not alloW it to be done at that hour. " If the trade of London set any value on the continuance of the estifette, it is absolutely requisite that they induce your Post.oftice to assist ours on the above points, or any others of the same kind which we may not be aware of. Otherwise this advanta geous establishment must be given up." But besides the facilities here sought for, and which appear too reasonable to be withheld long after a wish expressed to that effect, it is the opinion of the merchants here, that the French esfifelte system is capable of being usefully extended, in con nexion with the German, Italian, and Spanish moils, as well as the communications generally with the Mediterranean, Greece, Egypt, and the coast of Africa. As this embraces a very wide range, it may be some time before the plans under consideration will be sufficiently matured to meet the public eye; but the subject being a highly important one to the interests of our commercir and manufactures, it is proposed occasionally to revert to it under this head, as new materials shall present themselves.—Timm TouLoN, APRIL 4.--It is reporte3 here that two English merchantmen, in attempting to enter Algiers, have been detained by the blockading squadron. Since March, 1315, there have not been so many departures from France for England as have taken place during the last fortnight. No fewer than 1,095 persons have embarked at Calais within that space of time, when the arrivals during the same period were only . 305. —Galignani's Messenger. TURNING A CORNER : CENTRIFUGAL FoacE•—A carriage, or horseman, or pedestrian, passing a corner moves in a curve, and suffers a centrifugal force, which increases with the velocity, and which impresses o n the body a force directed from the corner. An animal causes its weight to resist this force, by voluntarily in clining its body towards the corner. As the velocity is increased, the centrifugal force is also increased, and greater inclination of the body is neces sary resist it. We accordingly find that the more ra pidly rpeideflo to yre a a corner is turned, the more the animal inclines his body towards it. A carriage, however, not having volun tary motion, cannot make this compensation for the dis turbing force which is called into existence by the gradual change of direction of the motion; consequently it will, under certain circumstances, he overturned, falling of course outwards, or from the corner.—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cycloptedia, Vol. V. PRICE ID. PARLIAMENT-LAW REFORM. " My object is to abolish every technical form which is not absolutely necessary for the purposes of the impartia' administration of justice."—Speech of Mr. Peel, 18th Feb. 18$0. The work of reform is seriously commenced. The announcement of Mr. Peel, which we have prefixed as a motto, is worth all that has been in the way of reform since the revolution. It is the first step, indeed, of a great revolution, by which human reason is to regain its ascendancy over technicalities and forms, and by which law itself is to be subjected to the principles and rules of morals and common sense. Law, both as to power and appetite, had become a monster who domineered over and threatened to swallow up every thing. Oppressive to all, and disgust ing even to its own progeny, the time was come when a stand must be made against it ; and Mr. Peel has obtained unfading laurels by the man ner in which he entered into and is still perse vering in the contest. In the criminal law he has already repealed 272 Acts of Parliament, the whole being now condensed into eight, and no inconvenience, he states officially, has resulted from either the repeal or the substitution. On the evening of last Thursday, Mr. Peel stated to the House and the country, what is now intended to be done in our civil courts. His preliminary step is the introduction of a Bill to enable the Crown to deal with all vested interests and patent offices in courts of justice— to remove at once and for ever those numerous and troublesome obstructions in the way of im movement. This is an excellent and important preasure. He is to cut off' 500/. from the Judges' salaries, reducing them to 5,000/. per annum ; to consolidate all the laws respecting the coin of the realm, offences under which are to be no longer high treason ; and he is to conso lidate likewise all the laws regarding forgery. Another proposal is to get rid of eight Welch Judges, by creating two English ones, by which means, we have no doubt, the Welch will obtain better, and the English more justice. The Parliamentary and judiciary functions, at present united in the Welch .Tudges, will thus be dis united ; and what is hardly of less moment, the same individual will no longer go permanently the same small circuits, by which, as Mr. Peel most justly observed, local and personal attach ments mast unavoidably be formed. This remark applies still more emphatically to the present state of our Sheriff-deputyships ; for, learned and honourable as this body certainly are, they cannot all be proof against human in firmity. Another excellent position was taken by Mr. Peel. If the Welch forms be better than the English—if justice can be obtained through their means better and cheaper—let them, lie said, be extended to England—let them be diffused over the kingdom !—The same principle applies to our Scotch forms. If we have any under which "justice can be expedited or obtained at a lesser expense," Mr. Peel is bound to adopt them ; while, on the other side, if there be English forms under which Scotland might profit in the same way, we are bound to receive them. Mr. Peel, unquestionably, is bound to carry his great principle, of abolishing every technical form not absolutely necessary to the impartial administration ofjustice into Scotland ; and if he do so to the letter, the boon will be invaluable. Away would go infefments, signet-letters, with innumerable other forms ; away would go the Bill-chamber, the Commissmy Court entirely, and the Court of Exchequer, as well as the Court of Admiralty. But this is anticipating. What has been announced is, that the Jury Court is to be abolished, its function of trying, by jury being transferred to the Court of Ses sion, and care being taken to preserve for that Court the benefit of the Lord Chief Commis sioner's talents and experience ; that the separate jurisdiction of the High Court of Admiralty shall be abolished ; that the Judges in the Com missary or Consistorial Court shall be reduced from !bur to one, while the right of trying all queltions of legitimacy, marriage, and divorce, is to be transferred from that Court to the Court of Session ; and that some reduction may be made in the Court of Session—the number of Judges connected with each Division being pro bably reduced from seven to five, and two of the principal clerks dispensed with ; while a saving may thus be obtained annually of about 10,0001. Mr. Peel did not disclose what is intended to be done respecting the Sheriffs: Courts; but concluded an able speech with the remark, that whatever may be the value we attach to our in stitutions, it might surely be conceded that they may be altered with propriety, when that altera tion is to be attended with an improvement in the moral state, the public prosperity, and pri vate comforts of the people—to effect which, nothing, he said, could tend more strongly than measures calculated to preserve the rights and vindicate the wrongs of individuals, as expedi tion, purity, and diminished expense in the ad ministration of justice must assuredly do. And, for this noble declaration, he had the cheers of the House as he will have the hearts of the people The spirit in which these reforms are conceived, and the objects aimed at, cannot be spoken of too highly. We only regret that Mr. Peel does not go far enough, and that in carrying his mea sures into effect he will be misled. He does well in utterly abolishing the High Court of Admiralty ; it was only an absurd stage on the road to justice ; but some of its forms—its pre cepts, arrestmenss, and modes of pleading, were cheap and prompt, and these ought not to be lost sight of in the more cumbrous and fric tion-obstructed machinery of the Court of Ses sion. And why is not the Commissary Court utterly abolished also ? The Clerk could most easily take charge of confirmations and other routine matters as an appendage to our Sherifi court; its higher business is, very properly, to be transferred to the Court of Session, and, as to the jurisdiction which it has in common with the last-mentioned Court and Judges-ordinary, no provision would have been necessary. But why, of all other monstrosities of the law, is the Bill-Chamber not to be got rid of? We do not mean.that its functions should be , ri i o n r ter C di o e t t i s r , ts. Quite annihilated—that there should be no means of s xe o c f ut i i n o f r e i obtaining ta t or reviews the contrary. We could ensure and enlarge all t h e powers and duties of what is called the Bill liiieilni!rostcacyesdoinfge BATTLE OF PINKIE. The English army occupied the crest of a sloping hill, on the southern side of the Esk., above Pinkie : that of Scotland, arranged in three large bodies, chiefly consisting of spearmen, having crossed the 'river, began slowly to ascend the acclivity. The English cavalry charged with fury on the foremost mass of spearmen, but were received so firmly by the Scottish phalanx, that they were beaten off with considerable loss. It is said that this commencement of the battle appeared so ominous to Somerset, that he called for guides, and was about to order a retreat. His secret rival, and, as he afterwards proved, hi s mortd enemy, Dudley Earl of Warwick, en- tertained better hopes, and directly commenced a flank fire with the cannon of the army an d the arquebuses of the foreign mercenaries on the thick body of spearmen. Angus, by whom the Scottish vanguard was commanded, endea voured to change his position, to avoid the can nonade. About the same time some High landers of the second division ' . had broken their order, to hasten to the spoil, so that their ir regular appearance, with the retrograde move ' ment of Angus, communicated a 011ie to the rest of the Scottish army, who thought they were routed. At this decisive moment the Earl of War wick, who had rallied the English cavalry, brought them again to the charge, and introduced among the disordered forces of the Scots that terror which he had failed in producing upon these masses while they maintained their ranks. The numerous army of the Scots fled in total and irremediable confusion. Thus ended the battle of Pinkie, without either a long or bloody conflict. But the English horsemen, incensed at the check which they received in their first onset. pursued the chase almost to the gates of Edinburgh with unusual severity ; and as many of the fugitives were drowned in the Esk, which was swelled with the tide, the loss of the Scots in the battle and flight amounted to ten thousand men. The whole space between the field of battle and the capital was strewed with dead bodies, and with the weapons which the fugitives had: thrown away in their flight.—Dr. Lard ner's Cabinet Cyclopedia, Vol. IV. ; being Sir Waller Scott's History of Scotland, Vol. 11. INTREPIDITY OF N A POL EON.-BUONA PARTE was seen to encourage his troops and expose his per sin fearlessly during the combat ; and Marshal BLUCHER'S movement of his cavalry, which he led on himself, was spoken of in the highest terms. NAPOLEON, who, at this period, scarcely acted, in any instance, on common mili tary calculation, drew up his army on the Ist of February in two lines, on the great plain before La Rotliiere, occu pying the villages, and neglecting much stronger ground in his rear about Brieune, evidently showing that he meant to play a desperate game. He led on la jeune garde in person against Marshal BLUCHER'S army, to wrest the village of La Rothiere from the gallant corps of SACKEN j but three repeated efforts were ineffectual. All agreed that the enemy fought with great intrepidity. BUONAPARTE seemed to have set his political existence on a die, as he exposed himself every where ; his horse was shot undditi him, and he had the mortification of witnessing the capture of a battery of guns in charge of lajeane garde.— Lord Londonderry's Narrative of the War in Germany and France. the outer-house, why should a stronger line, or higher wall, be interposed betwixt him and the inner-house in. the one case than in the other There is not a shadow of reason, or a consider- ation in expediency for exhibiting this phenome non. Let there be a separate Bill-Chamber--a place where business of the description con ducted there may be exhibited to practitioners in one condensed record. In this there may he some expediency. But why should not the Judge of the Court of Session, who consi ders, orders, and decides, not be held as sit ing in the Court of Session ? Why, if he think the case deserving of further investigatiou or discussion in the outer-house, not have power to send it de piano to the Lord Ordinary for the week? And why, after the Judge, who con siders a;bill with answers, is of opinion that the matter ihould be sifted or considered further, should parties be put to the expence of having this simple fact told to a single Judge in the outer-house, by means of a writ in the King's name, expede (so the phrase is) at no little ex pence and with risk of blunders, by an Agent and Writer to the Signet, executed by a Mes senger at Arms, at a considerable cost both in time and money, and again subject to risks, although both parties were present in the Bill- Chamber, and then brought under notice by the weekly rolls? There is here an apparatus of forms—for no other results than expence and delay—which, if understood, would revolt the reason of the country, and to which nothing but the force of habit could reconcile the feel ings of any conscientious practitioner. The whole system of Personal Diligence and Signet Letters, so oppressively felt in the attempts made to recover small debts, is equally unnecessary and revolting : and yet that system, with the Bill-Chamber, and numerous other forms, are, so far as hitherto explained, to remain un touched ! It is a great deal, however, that they are all condemned by the principle of Mr. Peel's reform. This principle would go also, we hate said, to the abolition of the Exchequer ; since neither the amount nor nature of business to be transacted there, is sufficient to justify its maintenance as a separate Court. It would be a great improvement, we conceive, if revenue matters were decided by our Judges of common law, instead of those who are more emphatically called Judges of or for the Crown ; and we have just as little doubt that Mr. Brougham is cor rect in holding that one English Judge on the Bench of each division of our Court, would be highly beneficial to Scotland. There is much, we think, in what Mi. Peel said as to four being the best number for a deliberative Bench, the concurrence of three Judges being indispen sable to the validating of a decision. One Judge might thus be spared from each division ; but if' the mode of conducting business in the outer house be not greatly changed, we would, instead of lessening, require to increase the number of the Permanent Ordinaries. We would make the proposed single consistorial Judge, a Perma nent Lord Ordinary. In approving generally of Mr. Peel's reforms, we are net sine that we ought not to :except the abolition of the Jury Court. It is very far from being perfect as it is ; but that is the chief reason why we question the expediency of its abolition. We consider jury trial, the calling in of the un adulterated common sense and general sympathies ' of society to aid and check professional subtlety and habits, as indispensable to the due admini, stration of justice ; but so long as some of the most experienced practitioners assure us that there is hardly a caw in which they would - not rather decline calling evidence for a defender, or Lri other words, take — a verdict on one half of the evidence, than give the Pursuer's Counsel the reply, we hold jury-trial to be in a most unri pened and dangerous state ; and we fear that the profession at large embracing Bench, Bar, and Agents, are not as yet sufficiently impressed with the benefits of jury -trial, to be qualified for car-, rying it in the Court of Session to a state L of , comparative health and perfection. liere, as • much as any where, and'both in the preparation for and conduct of trials, reason has still to triumph over rules of evidence and forms of procedure. We have apprehensions, also, that throughout . the empire, and more especially in Scotland, Mr. Peel's measure, excellent as his motives are, will be tainted by the views and prejudices of the pro fession. It is too frequently forgotten by lawyers, that law is made by and for society, and not so ciety for the law, and that Judges are truly ser, vants appointed and paid for doing the work ci . f the public. If they can, as moralists, either by ex ample or precept, extinguish bad passions, and strengthen good feelings, let them do so by all means. But if bad feelings, or misconcep tions, prompted to the commission of injuries, or the making of unjust demands, they will only add fuel to the flame, by throwing obstacles in the way of right and speedy decision. IP at tempting to stifle litigation they will deny justice. What have Judges to do with the work of legis lation ? What right have they, the servants of the public, to prescribe how much and what start of justice the public may obtain ? The duty of Judges clearly is to investigate calinly and un partially, and decide wisely—to be at once inde fatigable and prompt—to encourage the wrong to seek redress—the honest and candid to vindicate their rights and to discourage and punish the wrong-doer by the exposure arising from the pa. tient and inflexible administration of justice. Let each Judge do what he can and all he can well; and, when his duties have been discharged as extensively as the physical and mental powers will permit, without injury to health, if as in crease of business then remain, let society say by its legislative body, whether the number of Judges is to be increased, or the business of the Courts, the means of obtaining the best just ice, diminished or obstructed. It is true that the Judges of the Court of Ses sion sit only for a few hours of five days in the week, of five months and one week in the year ; but if they employ their vacancies for the pin., 'pose of invigorating the body by rural exerciae, and the mind by general reading—for a Judge ought to be well informed and maintain an a 6. quanitance with all sorts of knowledge, a sympa thy with all classes—if they go to the Bench thoroughly acquainted with the facts and the law of each case—if they hear Counsel patiently and with attention, the junior ones especially when they happen to urge views different from those which have been taken by themselves—if they are open to conviction, ready to correct errors, lair towards all connected with the business of the Court, and anxious to avoid all mis-decision, we should not grudge them their leisure or their .
