Q briellta II t -- lilt , - LONDON, THURSDAY, MAY 30, 1544. jury of the county of Surrey, in sessions assembled, do pre. sent—That it is the opinion of the grand jury, in the present improved mode of administering the public justice of the country, that the institution of grand juries, though at the time they were established they were of great value, is now not only unxecessary, but actually injurious to the public in terests : First, because the careful investigation of the cases by the committing magistrates, aided by professional men, who appear for the prosecution, and in the defence of the accused, have fully sifted the case in its preliminary stages. By this the institution of grand juries is rendered unneces sary. Secondly, the opportunity for tampering with wit nesses, in order that the evidencegiven before the grand jury may induce them to ignore the bill, although the evidence given before the magistrates fully justified the committal of the prisoner. Thirdly, that the province of the grand jury is often abused by having bills preferred which relate to accu sations that have never been previously investigated by ma gistrates, and which are often the result of a desire to extort money from the parties accused, or for the purposeof revenge. " For these reasons the grand jury consider their functions are no longer beneficial, that they are often injurious, and might be well dispensed with." The presentment was signed by the foreman and the whole of the grand jury. The Chairman remarked that the presentment was a very important public document, and he understood that a similar one had been made in another place. It was not, however, in the province of the magistrates to offer any opinion on the subject, but he trusted it would receive that proper attention which its importance demanded by the official authorities, to whom it would be forwarded. At the weekly meeting of the Anti-Corn-law League which, as usual, took place last night in Covent-garden theatre, after Earl Dixie, who was in the chair, bad addressed the audience in a speech replete with useful: statistical facts all tending to show the ruinous im policy of the bread-tax, Mr. HOLLAND, a gentleman from Worcestershire, bore personal testimony to the rapid progress that the principles of free trade were making in that county ; and added—in reference to the recent establishment of monopoly institutions— that " through the means of these institutions the farmers had been taught to think, and not only had they learned to think, but also to act for themselves. Living among farmers as he did, he really believed that since the existence of Protection societies, and through their becoming so rife, the free-traders had gainel con verts among the agriculturists of Worcestershire." These remarks fully bear out what we predicted in The Sun, when we first heard of the establishment of monopoly institutions. We then stated that these institutions would serve no other purpose than to increase the ' , spread of free-trade principles, if only from the defec tive reasoning of their chief pamphleteers and speakers, and their shallow and obviously selfish appeals to the passions and prejudices cf the agriculturists. Far better that the Protectionists had kept a still tongue in their heads, and contented themselves with the exertions of their Conservative mijority in Parlia ment; the rottenness of their favourite system of mo nopoly would not then have been made so obvious to the generality cf reflective people, as it now is ; but they could not deny themselves the pleasure of entering the arena of controversy, and getting up an agitation on their own account, by %%ay of coun teracting the efforts of the League ; and now, as might have been foreseen, their superficial argu ments, false statistics, fabricated facts, and angry appeals to the prejudices of the agriculturists, have recoiled on their own heath. The farmers—vast num bers of whom are no longer the obtuse dolts that they were twenty years ago—have seen through their motives and fathomed their profoundest rea sonings ; and the consequence is, that the engi neer is literally " hoist with his own petard." When a party has notoriously little or nothing to say for itself worth attending to, and can put forth no other plea in its favour th.m present power, the wisest thing it can do, is to preserve a sort of dignified reserve and taciturnity ; to avoid everything that may prp yoke a close discussion ; and to trust fur the main tenance of its system to the power that it may possess in Parliament and elsewhere. The Protectionists seem, at length, to be awakened to a conviction ,of this truth, for we no longer fin 1 them attempting to rouse the country in their behalf by dint of sophis tical speeches and still more sophistical pamphlets : but they are wise too Lite ; the mischief is already done; they have shown hundreds of agriculturists, what they did not know before, the utter rot tenness of the foundation on which the mono poly system is based; and it is of little use to shut the stable-door when the steed is already stolen. Mr. COBDEN, who took just the right view of the South Lancashire elec tion, and whose observations made a deep im pression on his audience, told an emi. nently characteristic anecdote of the high-minded independence of a certain body of electors. "In the contest of 1837," said the Hon. Member for Stock port, "he had been at an inn where there were sitting a number of persons decorated with ribbons of the colour of the Whig party--blue, that of STANLEY and TowNELET. A shrewd countryman, who was in the same room, observed that at a future election they would wear other colours. Since that time the proprietor of the land upon which those independent electors were tenants-at-will, had changed politics, and he (Mr. COBDEN) had seen the same men at a subsequent election with the favours of the opposite party on their coats. But again the property was sold, and at the last election the same tenants-at-will were again to be seen in their blue favours." Oh virtuous times—oh immaculate purity of election ! Who, after an anecdote like this could :dare to advocate the ballot? But after all,, these weather-cock electors were by no means so criminal as might be supposed, fur they were merely imitating, in their own limited sphere of action, our own discreet Premier, and putting into practice his favourite doctrine of expediency. It was expedient for their interests that they should vote at one time for a Whig, and:at another for a Tory, and accordingly they did so ; and, apparently, with as much free and easy indifference as Sir ROBERT PEEL evinces, when impelled by circumstances, he throws out a word of encouragement, now to the free-traders, and now to the monopolists. Doubtless, it was by the votes_ of expediency -courting electors, like those so honours ably distinguished by Mr. COBDEN, that the South Lancashire election was lost. Had each man been left free to act according to the dictates of his own conscience, there is little or no doubt that the free-trade candidate would hare been placed at the head of the poll by an overwhelming majority. Even as it is, there is much more cause for rejoicing, than for desponding over the result of the contest, for it is now placed on record that the supporters of the good cause—notwithstanding all the Conservative artifices resorted to against them—have polled upwards of four hundred more than they polled in the year 18371 The administration of justice in this country, the forms by which it is clogged, and in many instances prevented, afford ample opportunities for reform. But in every stage of that process, the obstacles which present themselves are great beyond all conception. An unpaid magistracy, the great majority of whom have gained the magisterial authority, solely as one step in the ladder of aristocratical distinction, and who have become justices of the peace, merely to ex cite awe and raise veneration in the breasts of the neighbouring clodpoles, oppose all attempts to estab lish responsible, efficient, and competent stipendiary tribunals. The same body, proud of the still further distinction, which the grand jury-box confers, and of the importance which the grand jury-room brings with it, uphold the necessity of that second investi gation, before a body of themselves, of cases which have been previously inquired into by the separate wisdom of portions of their number. And although, in these days no one would think of establishing a court for the ascertainment of probable guilt, by a repe tition of only a portion of the evidence which seemed to warrant a primary committal, still the grand jury is generally supported as an ancient institution of the country, by men who, having thought but little on the subject, connect the name with the boasted pri vilege of Englishmen,—trial by jury. We have long thought the grand jury system a nuisance, and we are delighted to see that we are at length supported in cur views by men who, from actual experience, are the best qualified to judge. The following protest is worthy of every attention, and we call the public mind to ‘v(::gh and consider it. It was delivered this week to the Chairman of the Surrey Sessions : No man has done more for the simplifying and amending the law than Sir ROBERT PEEL—few men, with all his faults, have laboured more to curb the insolence of magistrates than Sir JAMBS GRAHAM : let them look well to the subject ; and if in the aboli tion of grand juries, they shall deem it necessary to abolish an unpaid and irresponsible magistracy, and to replace it by legal stipendiary investigators of charges, they will earn the thanks and approval of the great majority of the country. In our last article on Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Cur rency Speech of the 20th instant we intimated that the Premier had advanced some propositions respect ing the silver element of our currency, too remark able not to call for special notice. We had, accord ingly, selected some passages for extract and com mentary, with a view to the exposition of the signal fallacies and palpable mistakes on the part of the Premier, which they involved ;—mistakes of the most unaccountable nature as to the facts and data as- signed by him; and fallacies inevitably consequent on the illogical conclusions he had thereby been led to — when we received a copy of "An Enquirer after Truth's Letter to the Premier ; in reply to his Speech on the Bank Charter Act." In the " Enquirer after Truth" we detect, if we do not greatly err, the author of '• The Minister Mistaken ;" and it is cer- tain that he has wielded in this instance the same arms which he employed on his former tilt against the Bullionists, with still more tremendous effect against the Premier,—the venturous but luckless disciple of the late Mr. HIISKI3SON -" Sed imper congressus Achilli." Finding that the "En quirer after Truth," in many instances, completely concurs in the views we have expounded (in The Sun of Thursday last, especially) of the suicidal inconsis tencies accumulated in Sir ROBERT'S speeches of the 7th and the 20th instant, and that he, in others, re markably confirms the course he had proposed to take in dealing with the further "extracts" in ques tion; we had availed ourselves of the opportunity thus afforded us to incorporate the latter in the notice of the " Letter to the Premier," which will be found in another part of our columns. To that notice we entreat the attention of our readers. The author of the pamphlet has made out a case so irresistible and so convincing against the Pre mier, in this last attempt of his to tamper with our monetary system ; that we cannot see what escape re. mains to Sir R. PEEL from between the two horns of the dilemma, on one of which the " Enquirer after Truth" has impaled him. Either he is, on his own recorded statement, the most presumptuous and incompetent statesman who ever dabbled in the statistics of money and money legislation in this country, or he is the most disingenuous, tricky, and selfish Minister, who ever lacked the courage to avow the true motives of an indefensible policy, the manliness to acknowledge its disastrous consequences, or the spirit to retrieve, where he could no longer be blind to them. He must be content to know that he is now convicted of the most gross and culpable ignorance of the fact on which he admits that his propositions, in reference to the re newal of the Bank of England Charter, are founded. If the data he has cited as those which authenticate the measures which he recommends for the adoption of Parliament, falsified as they have been in his speech of the 7th instant, have not been so misstated in igno norance or misrepresentation—on what other by pothesis are we to account for their fabsifi cation ? But if he has thus blundered in stating such all-important premises, —no mat ter whether in error or designedly—what it his amount of fitness to direct the councils of i nation, of whose interests he has thus hazarded the fatal compromise on a question, the universal nature " We, whose names are here subscribed, being the grand has always been remarkably free. From the earliest times to the present, with the exception of fourteen years, from 34 HENRY VIII. to 1 ELIZABETH (1543 to 1557), the standard fineness of English silver coin was 11 oz. 2 dwts. fine silver to 18 dwts. alloy; and even lb six of those fourteen years, the standard was 11 oz. 1 dwt. to 19 dwts of alloy; so that, with the exception of, properly speaking, only eight years, the standard of our silver coin has always been the same from the Anglo-Saxon times to the present day." . • . . " Your intention, doubtless, was to say, that the weight ofthe coin had been diminished, by which a great alteration had been made, not in the name, but in the intrinsic value of the pound from the time of WILLIAM the Com:amigo& to ELIZABETH. This is true. The pound weight of silver was coined from 1066 to 1601 (omitting the eight years of de basement) successively into 205., 20s. 3d., 22e. 6d., 255., 305., 375. 6d., 455., 605., and 625. But how utterly incompatible these facts are with the Premier's definition of a pound, as " a quantity of the precious metals of certain weight and certain fine ness—a certain definite quantity of gold—a definite quantity of the precious metals," his own historical examples had shown, and the "Enquirer after Truth" still more happily proves. It never occurred to the philosophical sagacity of the Premier to make any allowance, in estimating the worth of a certain quan tity of silver throughout a period of nearly eight centuries, or any given proportion of that period, for the effect of the discovery of America, and the mines of Potosi, for example, or the value of the commo dity. From the earliest times " till the year 1600, the proportions of silver and gold were generally recog nised as ten to one. Ten ounces of silver were worth one ounce of gold." Now, as silver accumulated from being raised with so much less labour in the New World than in the Old, this relative value gradually changed until the proportion became 1540 1. This subject is so large, and is so ably treated in detail, as is also the fluctua tion of the gold pound, in the pamphlet to which we refer, that we dare not pursue it in this place. We will therefore take but a single illustration, and it is from the same author. He says, addressing the Premier :—" But your wish, apparently, was to con tinue one pound in coin at the same value which it possessed in the last two yedis of the reign of ELIZA BETH. Unfortunately, Sir, for your consistency, our pound sterling underwent four alterations after that. In 1604, only three years after the last alteration, the gold pound of the value of 20s. in silver was coined at the weight of 154 grains ; which gives for the pound sterling, both in gold and silver, the value of 255. of our present money. In 1625, it was coined of the weight of. 140 grains, which makes the pound sterling in gold and silver equal to 225. 9d. of our present money. In 1675 it was reduced to 129 grains, being still of the value of 205., which makes the pound sterling worth only 21s. of our present money (this gold pound was afterwards called a guinea) ; and in 1815 it was coined of the weight of 123 grains, or nearly so, which is its present weight. Of these changes you appear to have been uninformed." And with this plain account of the Pre mier's unpardonable error in dealing with the sub ject of the weight and the measure of value, and the unceremonious but just remonstrance with which it is followed up by the " Enquirer," we shall for the present quit this branch cf the question :—" Conceiv ing that as the same weight was found in the silver pound its value was the same,—and that, for conve nience sake alone gold was substituted for silver in 1774 as the standard measure of value—you concluded that when the pound troy of silver was coined into 66 shillings (four of which were retained for seignor age), we were brought practically to the same mea sure of value which we had in 1601. I trust, Sir, you are now satisfied that this was an error of yours ; and since this erroneous assumption of the antiquity and uniformity of the measure of value which you recommend is made the reason of your new currency measures ; I earnestly hope that you will fur the the present suspend any further proceedings in rela tion to this business, and allow the country a little longer respite to consider what steps it may be pru dent to take in the present posture of affairs. When such mistakes as these are made by one who is con sidered an oracle on the subject of currency, it is time to pause and look about us." We call the attention of our readers to a state ment made by the Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench this day, in the case of the QUEEN V. BLAKE AND OTHERS. The other Judges concurred in the reasons assigned for granting a new trial, and it will be seen that it applies to the Irish State trials, and is at utter variance with the directions of the Irish Chief Justice and two other Judges in their address to the jury. had borne making waslately one triedat two who fo r a t g h e e i )pdu character,rp Stafford, for having stolen a gown and petticoat, and society, the wages of labour, the transactions of the was sentenced to seven years' transportation.

We shall not pain the reader by again can for the rest of her days an irreproachable member of trasting the Right Hon. Baronet's " clear conclusion" society. But the opportunity of retrieving herself that bullion, in reference to that upon which the Bank of England, and other banks of issue, shall was not afforded her; her first offence was visited, as itf had been her twentieth; no distinction was made make issues of notes, shall be understood to mean i "gold only," with his supplementary contrivance that between her case and that of the most hardened as to one-fourth of the Bank of England's veteran thief; but precisely the same punishment was awarded to her, as would have been awarded to a issues that bullion may be in silver. It BARRINGTON, or a Major SEMPLB, had they been seems little necessary, moreover, to retail after convicted of the same theft. This is no solitary Sir ROBERT such trite truisms as that "there would be a great advantage in having a stock of instance of the injudicious and impolitic harshness of silver in the Bank, which could be used for the recti- magisterial decisions. Scarcely a week passes, but fication of the exchanges, and for other advantages of some case or other occurs in our metropolitan police a commercial nature ;" or his profound discovery courts, or our provincial quarter-sessions, illustrative the undue that " silver is of advantage to the merchants of this of severity of, or . the undue lenity of, those country in enabling them readily to make remittances who sit in judgment. Not unfrequently it happens to India, and China, and other places." Probably, that raw lads, who have scarcely yet entered their Sir ROBERT imagined that the public generally were teens, are subjected to the dreary horrors of a gaol not aware that silver is the principal medium of remit- parentsfor offences, for which a good fl o gg in g from their or guardians would have bee n quite punish does, in these two great branches of our trade. He does, however, admit his fears that the advantageous ment enough; and when the term o f their imprison means must be abandoned "if Parliament insist on ment expires, and they are turned loose once again on confining the issues of the Bank to gold, and gold the world, what with the humiliat ion the y have en alone." But the Right Hon. Baronet is so egregiously dured—inflicted on them at a tim e of life when th e absurd in the first principle of his argentine doctrine feelings are most exquisitely sensitive —and the p ollute d that we cannot omit the duty of once more, and in a society they have perforce kept, whe n the y have hear d more precise manner, indicating the more salient principle and honour laughed to scor n, a s the mere idle dream of fools and visionaries, they have become evidences of his blundering. In his attempt to show "what constitutes the callous to all just and generous impulses , and quit the measure of value in this country," he declared that prison in a far different frame of mind to that in which they entered it—namely, as desperate, deter " the whole foundation of his present proposals rested mined reprobates. It is incalculable the mischiefs on the assumption, that according to law, and the that are done to society by this indiscriminate mode ancient monetary policy of this country, the meaning of punishment on the part of magistrates. Many a of a pound is neither more nor less than a certain oor wretch, who has been banished for life, or ex quantity of gold with a mark upon it." We exhibited p lated his crimes on the scaffold, may trace his utter the groundlessness of this assumption in our paper of ruin to the injudicious harshness with which he was Thursday last; but our present business is with the , visited for his first offence, and which p recluded all historical illustrations into which he expatiated. "In chance of his rethrmation. As exercised by too the reign of Wiemasi the CONQUEROR " (he says) " a many of our magisterial auth o r ities, law makes pound of silver was the pound of account." "A Pound almost as many rogues as it condem ns, and never fails represented both the weight of the metal, and denomi - to cut out a prodigious deal of work thrice a year for nation of the money.

But magi'. trates seldom think of these things ; they do not trouble their heads with nice distinctions, but con found all shades of guilt together; and seem to ima gine that their duty begins and ends in awarding the same measure of punishment to the hardened as to the inexperienced offender. The intelligence from Madrid, which is to the 22d inst., is entirely destitute of interest. Preparations were still going on at Barcelona for the reception of the " idolised QUEEN " and her "immortal mother," epithets applied to them by a Barcelona journal. The Three per Cents. closed at 29 for cash, and 29 9-16 at 60 days; and the Fire per Cents. at 201. In the French Chamber of Deputies, on Monday, the President having taken the chair, read to the Chamber a letter from the Prince DE LA MOSKOWA, announcing the death of his father-in-law, M. JACQUES LArTITTE. The President next drew the names of th• members of the grand deputation who were to attend his funeral, and when he had con cluded, voices from different parts of the hall ex claimed that the assembly would assist in a body at the ceremony. A discussion then commenced on the state of foreign affairs, but chiefly on the old and worn-out subject—the recal of M. DUPETIT THOUARS, when M. GUIZOT moved a vote of 600,000 f. for ex traordinary missions. M. BERRYER commenced the debate in a speech which made no impression on the Chamber, and had not concluded at the adjournment. He therefore resumed it on Tuesday, and made an attack on M. GUIZOT, for succumbing to the English in the affair of Otaheite, and also in allowing them to occupy the whole of New Zealand. We find nothing in the speech, however, that can interest the English reader, if we except the following attempt to rouse , his sleepy hearers:—" What," said he, "is not only Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS to be disavowed, but must his disgrace be communicated through a British medium ? Is it an Englishman who is to put under the nose of our Admiral the Moniteur, containing this insolent decision ? Is it an Englishman who is charged to say to a French Admiral, 'Begone,' and to Captain BItUAT, Je vous chasse 1" This pro duced what the French reporters called a " movement." M. GUIZOT in his reply said, " That he conceived the violence of the attacks directed against the acts of the Administration was the right of the Opposition, and the principle of the Constitution:l Government; but he could not conceive that it should stoop to the perversion of facts in order to substantiate its charges. In reference to the occupation of New Zealand, he said, that island had been repeatedly visited, from 1790 to 1814, by British navigators, who had taken possession of it in the name of Great Britain. The Government, however, did not sanction that occupa tion, and it was only from 1815 to 1838 that com panies had endeavoured to prevail upon England to act upon that occupation. It was not true, as M. BERRYER had asserted, that Captain HOBSON had re ceived no instructions from his Government. Those instructions were of July, 1839, and enjoined him to negotiate a treaty with the chiefs for the cession of the northern islands, and in February, 1840, a treaty to that effect was signed by 512 chiefs of that island. In April following, a similar treaty was concluded with the chiefs of the southern island. Their regular occupation by England was an accomplished fact." After repeating his former arguments in reference to the recal of Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS, he con cluded by declaring, that if the present Cabinet carefully avoided all that might tend to weaken the good intelligence existing between two great nations, in no instance had it been guilty of an act of com plaisance derogatory to the dignity and interests of the country. M. TIIIERS, M. BARROT, and several other Members were expected to speak. On Tuesday the Monthly Committees were re newed, when the Government had a great majority in seven out of the nine. M. 'DREES was elected by a majority of only one. The Funds have again advanced. On Tuesday the Three per Cents. had risen to 84f. 75c., at which price they closed. THE BOURSE-TUESDAY, MAY 28.

Sales 3,000 bales, including 400 American on speculation, and 400 fur export, and also 400 Pernambuco for export. There was no alteration for the better in the Railway Shares, which were dull. Still we have to notice the absence of late arrivals ; and it is very justly made a matter of complaint that Government should have sent out a ,ten-gun brig into the Channel, in stead of a steamer, to assist the wind-bound vessels. Parties interested in railways, and especially the advocates of the atmospheric principle, are looking with interest to the report of three Commissioners appointed by the German Confederation to!examine into the merits of Philip Wagner's electro-magnetic invention. The investigation is stated to have already commenced. The Belgians continue to creep on slowly but surely with the extension of their foreign markets. They have now es tablished sailing packets from Antwerp to Bahia. Accounts have been received from Wellington, New Zea land, to the 14th December. The natives were still rather threatening; and owing to the apprehension of Awaho for the crime of murder, they had dispatched messengers to summon armed parties from various neighbour ing parts. The settlers, however, do not appear to be under serious apprehensions. The colony was de pressed in its agricultural resources, owing to the non-settle ment of the land claims, but its trade is progressing as regards flax, oil, and wood. Imports were tolerably abundant, and very low in value comparatively to the supply. The Stock Market is firmer, but not actually buoyant. Consols are 994 to 994 for Money, and 994 to 994 for Account. They have, therefore, not yet regained what they lost on the Account day. Exchequer Bills have been lower, 725. to 70s. premium, and India Bonds have been quiet at 945. prem. Bank Stock has further advanced, being 199 to 200. The New Three-and-a-Half per Cents. are 1024 to 4 ; the Re duced, 1014 to 4; and the Three per Cents., 984 to 984. Spanish Bonds opened higher, but have had a ten dency since to go down again to their previous range. The Five per Cents. have been 234 to 4, and the Three per Cents. 354 to 4, being at present 344 to 35. Mexican have ruled steady at 354 to 4 ; Portuguese Converted have been heavy at 46 ; Russian Bonds have been firm at 1184 ; and Dutch Two and a Half per Cents. at 614 to 4. Some of the Railway Shares continue to droop. Birming ham and South-Eastern are lower again ; Great Western have improved a little ; and Brighton are firmer. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLOCK.

The total number of deaths was 876, previous week 862, average 883 ; and, taking the average for the last five years, the number was 946. This shows that though the weather has been unu sually dry, and there have been keen east winds, the general health of the population of London has not suffered. Indeed we hear from the different hospitals that at no former period were there so few cases of disease in these establishments. The beds for pa tients in one establishment are nearly empty. In one hospital where they have beds for twenty-six, only two patients were received. In cases of small-pox, scarlatina, and croup, the amount is considerably above the average, which is 161, while last week it was 206. In diseases of the lungs there is a consi derable diminution, the averaga being 286, while last week it was only 239. Thirty-six persons died of small-pox, and of these twenty-four had not been vac cinated. The number of violent deaths was 12—ave rage 24. Of these there were two cases from frac ture or contusion by falls—one by a carriage, one from swallowing a needle, four from drowning, one from murder, and only two from suicide. The thermometer was highest on Friday, 66 . 8, and lowest, on Satur day, 42.8. SOUTH LANCASHIRE ELECTION. CLOSE OF THE POLL. NEWTON, 10 O'CLOCK, P.M., MAT 28.

Bell's Life of last Sunday, May 26, gave upwards of five folio columns of Epsom Races, with a portrait of the winner, by Mr. herring, Chantilly, Derby, and Oaks, and an epitome of the week's miscellaneous news, and 100 advertise.. ments chiefly connected with sporting matters. The inser tion of a single advertisement in Bell's Life may be equally beneficial to that of half-a-dozen in some journals. A six pence, or six penny stamps, to Mr. Clements, jun., 170, Strand, will at all times insure a copy of Bell's Life by return of post. The weekly sale of Bell's Life exceeds 20,000 copies.
