Sydney Smith was born at Woodford, in Essex, in 1768, and, consequently, at his death, was 77 years of age. He received the rudiments of his education at Winchester, and was elected to New College, Oxford, in the year 1780, where, ten years afterwards, he obtained a fellowship ; but it was not until six years subsequent to the last-mentioned date that he took the degree of M.A. Some years afterwards he became tutor to the son of Mr. Beach, M.P. for Cirencester, and accompanied him to Edinburgh, where he remained for five years, during a considerable portion of which he officiated at the Episcopal Chapel in that city. At this time and place his career as an author may be said to have commenced ; and amongst the earliest of his literary acquaintances were Lords Brougham, Jeffrey, and Murray. It was from a suggestion of Mr. Smith that one of the most famous periodicals in Europe originated. He proposed to the noble and learned persons just mentioned—all of them still living —that they should unite with him in starting a review ; and of that publication the subject of this memoir was appointed editor. Few readers require to be informed that the publi cation here referred to is one which has enjoyed almost unin terrupted popularity for a period of more than forty years, under the title of the Edinburgh Review. Very soon after. the commencement of the Review Mr. Smith ceased to be the editor, for he removed to London, where he settled in the year 1803, amid in the 35th year of his age married the daughter of Mr. Pybus, the banker. Although Mr. Smith had now ceased to be the editor of the Edinburgh Review—although h e h a d, as he himself modestly says, " placed its management in the stronger hands of Lord Jeffrey and Lord Brougham," he yet continued to be one of its most active contributors, writing frequently on prison discipline, on the abuses and corrupting influence of the game-laws, on transportation to Botany Bay, on tolera tion, on Methodism, on education, on Irish bulls, mad ,s__ • variety of other subjects. To the criticisin of'individual writers, or the estimate of literary character, he gave but little of his time or attention. The only person to whom he has devoted more than a single article was the celebrated Charles James Fox, a man for whom Mr. Smith's admiration was intense. In 1806, through the influence of the Whig Ministry, he was appointed to a living in Yorkshire, but he was not long settled there when the cry of "\o Popery" expelled the Government of that day from the councils of the King, and Mr. Perceval ruled in their stead. It was then that the most popular of Mr. Smith's works made its appearance. The celebrated " Letters of Peter Plymley' —under which designation it was the pleasure of Mr. Smith then to write—went through so many editions that the anti• Catholic party stood aghast, and really trembled for Protestant ascendancy ; but the citadel/of the old constitution in Church and State was not , so easily reduced. In the year 1831, during the Ministry of Lord Grey, the Rev. Sydney Smith became one of the canons residentiary of St. Paul's. In 1829 he had received the rec tory of Combe Florey, in Somersetshire, a living the value of which is about 300/. per annum. Mr. Smith had by this time declined into the vale of years, and the pecuniary ad vantages derivable from the exercise of his literary powers had ceased to become an object to him ; his pen was, there fore, in some degree laid aside, and he was not induced to re sume it till an occurrence took place which he regarded as a downright invasion of his property and of the rights of deans and chapters, which as a member of one of those cor porations he had sworn to defend. This roused his ire against Lord J. Russell, and produced some pithy and amusing letters. His late letters on the honest Pennsylvanians are fresh in the recollection of our readers. They supply the most varied illustrations of knavery, the drollest sar casms on fraud, the most instructive satire on Republicanism, and at the same time furnish no imperfect specimens of the genius and character of the writer. The conversational wit ticisms of Sydney Smith would fill a jest-book ; but his cha racter will be estimated by posterity on far higher grounds. It will be remembered that he supported Roman Catholic claims, and that they were con ceded ; that he strenuously assailed the game-laws, and that they underwent great modification ; that he com pelled a large portion of the public to acknowledge the mischief of our penal settlements ; that he became the advocate of the wretched chimneysweepers, and their miseries were alleviated; that he contended against many of the unjust provisions of the Church Reform Bill, and they were amended; that whereas, before his time, a man accused at the bar of a criminal court might be hanged before he had been half heard, now every prisoner has the benefit of a de fence by counsel. It will further be freely acknowledged, that no public writer was more successful than he in de nouncing a political humbug, or demolishing a literary pre tender; that he was, on the whole, an upright and a benevo lent man ; and, as the world goes, a disinterested politician ; that he had opportunities of improving his fortune, which he nobly rejected; and that, having lived with unostentatious respectability, he died without accumulating wealth.—.

SECRETARY—Lewis Crombie, Esq, This Railway will establish a most desirable line of conununication between Dover, Salisbury, Yeovil, and Bristol, traversing in its course many wealthy, populous, and important districts. It will commence at the Reigate-station on the Dover and Brighton Railways, and pass by Dorking and Guildford to Basingstoke. From thence it will proceed by Whitchurch, Andover, and Salisbury, to Yeovil. By means of it and of the intended line between Bath and Salisbury (now in Parliament) the connexion between Dover and Bristol and the East and West Coasts of England will be complete. • " ' ' ' • • • " • A further and most important feature of the undertaking is, that, by the aid of the South Western Railway, it will bring Salisbury and Yeovil into an entirely direct line of communication with the Me tropolis. The distance from London to Salisbury will be about 80 miles, and to Yeovil 120 miles. It will also unite four of the principal Railways in the kingdom ; viz., the Dover, Brighton, South-Western, and Great Western, and at the same time will bring into direct communication with each other the ports of Dover, Shoreham, Portsmouth, Southampton and Bris tol, a most desirable object in a national point of view. A reference to the accompanying map will manifestly prove that an immense traffic must flow to the line, and that, in fact, no other Railway in the kingdom will form a medium of communication with a greater aggregate of wealthy, populous, and important places. By it, Salisbury, Yeovil, Bath and Bristol, Bradford, Trowbridge, Frome, Guildford, Farnham, Basingstoke, Whitc.hurch, Andover, Weyhill with its extensive fair, Shaftesbury, Milborne Port, Stal bridge, and Ilchester, with the numerous smaller towns and villages in their vicinity, will be brought into immediate connexion with each other, rendering the undertaking eminently calculated to promote the convenience of the public, and certain to yield a large return to its proprietors. The country to be traversed will, as has been ascertained from ac tual surveys, admit of the construction of the Railway at a moderate cost. The portions yet to be formed will comprise the country be tween Reigate and Salisbury, about 76 miles (less about 11 miles proposed to he used of the South Western Railway), and that between Salisbury and Yeovil about 40 miles, 'making the entire length of the line yet to be constructed not more than 105 miles.

Dated this day of , 1845. Name Residence Trade or profession Reference TO E. BECKETT DENISON, ESQ., M.P. FOB THE WEST RIDING OF YORKSHIRE. Sta, Harrogate, Feb. 17, 1845. Iregret that any individual professing Conservative principles should so far forget himself as to undertake to defeat the second reading of a Bill in the House of Commons, by such means as are degrading to an independent mind. The assertions made by yott a on moving an amendment to a motion for the second reading of the Harrogate and Knaresborough Railway Bill, were disgraceful, being either wilful misrepresentations, or showing you were grossly ignorant of the nature and character of the Bill in question. I am inclined to think it was the latter, as I fmd you have been reported to have stated similar assertions at a meeting of the inhabitants of Doncaster, on the 17th January last. I feel it a duty I owe to myself, as well as to my late colleagues, who were the principal promoters of the proposed Railway from Bolton Percy to near Knaresborough, to defend our conduct by stating the truth, and to contradict the asser tions made by you. You are made to say that Mr. Hudson, or the York and North Midland Company, were the promoters of the intended line from Bolton Percy (not Burton Salmon) to Knaresborough. That the length of the line was 14 miles. That the dissentient landowners was •••• • • • • 11 miles Theassents •••••••••••••• • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 11 „ The neuters ••••••• • • • • • • •• • ll „ 14 miles Now, Sir, for the facts : The length of the intended line was 15 miles and 69 chains.

The number of landowners on the line 56. The dissentients. The assents and neuters • I most positively deny that Mr. Hudson or the York and North Midland COmpany had anything whatever to do with the intended line. Mr. Hudson gave us no assistance until the second reading of the Bill. No doubt the intended line would have been very bene ficial to the York and North Midland Company, but it would be much more to their interest as a Company to make it themselves, and they thought we should not be able to raise the money, such was the feeling at that time of the public against railways ; but we did succeed, in a most honourable way, in obtaining the capital re quired, and Mr. Hudson, finding we had succeeded, did, on the second reading of the Bill, render us some assistance ; and although the dishonourable trick of getting up a case against us, full of misrepresentations, and given to the Members on entering the House, and the misrepresentations made by you and others, the Bill passed the second reading, and had it not been for the influence of a certain individual, there is no doubt we should have passed the Committee, and got our Bill. I regret that an individual with snch a kind and amiable domestic character, though a mighty hunter, should so far disregard the interests of his tenantry, and the tenants of others, as to exert his influence to deprive them of the be nefits of railway communication. There are few, very few, agricul tural districts of more importance; besides, on this short line of sixteen miles, we have three market towns, and two fashionable watering places,—say, Tadcaster, Wetherby, and Knaresborough, and Harrogate and Thorp-Arch, and an extent of country further west, which would derive considerable benefit. merely because it was said to interfere with the hunting field. No wonder your friends should express to you their surprise, after the second reading of the Bill, that such a measure should have been brought forward, of course supposing your statement to be correct, but I think they will now be more guarded how they express any opinion upon your statements. When the Committee reported to the House that the preamble of the Bill was not proven to their satis faction, I was advised by a friend to get some Member of the House to move for the printing of the evidence given to the Committee. I regret I did not do so, as it might have prevented you from repeating the nits-statements. . I hope I shall not have occasion to recur again to this subject, and would recommend you, as a Conservative, to make yourself better acquainted with subjects before you engage to either support or op pose them.—l am, Sir, your obedient servant, and one of your electors, S.

DUBLIN, FEBRUARY 23, 1845.—A curious circum stance has occurred here which has completely destroyed all confidence in the boasted secresy of the Railway Department of the Board of Trade. Mr. Fitzstephen French, who was the cencoctor of the railroad from Dublin to Galway, arrived here on the 20th inst., and stated publicly tbat the Board of Trade would certainly give the Galway line and refuse the Mullingar line, and which, incredible as it may appear, was confirmed by the arrival of the Gazette on the 21st inst., con taining their decision exactly as stated by him. What secret influence has been at work it is impossible for the public to divine, but certainly gr ave suspicion a tt ac h es somewhere, and the matter ought not to be allowed to rest where it is; nor will it, for the Directors and Subscribers to the Mullingar line are determined to proceed with their Bill without one moment's loss of time, and sift the facts before a Committee of the House of Commons. The advantages of the Mullingar line over that of Mr. French's are too palpable, and must be appreciated when fully before the public; for the country through which the railroad is proposed to pass is rich and fertile in its resources, and is exceedingly populous, and only requires a facility of communication to bring those abundant resources to a profitable market. Should the arbitrary deci sion of the Board of Trade prevail, it is evident that great injustice will be done to a portion of Ireland, which, from its position, has stronger claims for railway facilities than any other part of it. We were much struck wi t h the beautiful speci mens of New Zealand woods exhibited by the Company at their late meeting, and no doubt when known will soon be come generally used for deco ra tive furniture.

LIVERPOOL, PiIoNDAT.—We have received, by the arrival of the packet-ship Cambridge, Captain Barstow, which reached this port at an early hour this morning, New York papers and adyices one day later than those brought by the steamer. The debate in the House of Representatives on the Oregon Occupation Bill was suspended, the excitement in con nexion with the success of the annexation scheme had ex perienced a lull, and altogether affairs remained in statu quo The Washington correspondent of one of the journals, under date the 30th ult., remarks that the •democracy of the House had become rather alarmed at their belligerent posi tion with regard to England, and expressed on that day a willingness to have the Oregon Bill modified, so as to make it conform to the treaty stipulations; and that their amend ment not being prepared, the debate was arrested for that purpose. The same writer gives the following outline of the debate in the House on the 30th ult.:— " The House to-day was occupied in the consideration of the Oregon 841, speeches being delivered by Messrs. Thomp son, of Mississippi ; M'Clerland, of Illinois ; and Owen, of Indiana, in favour of it ; and by Mr. J. R. Ingersoll and Mr. Elmer, against it. All these gentlemen maintained that our claim to the Oregon territory was perfect, though the two latter were not clear that it could rightfully be extended north of latitude 49 degrees ; and they, as well as Mr. Owen, were in favour of giving the notice to Great Britain required by treaty, before we attempted to establish a Go vernment on it ; and they expressed their convictions that not to do so could not but be highly offensive to Great Britain, and would be, on her part, a sufficient cause of war against us. Mr. Ingersoll begged gentlemen to reflect where this war that is so much searched for is to be carried on; it certainly would not be either in the distant territory of Oregon, nor yet at the homes of those gentlemen of the west who were ever so urgently pushing this measure, but it would be on the high seas, wherever our commerce shall float, and throughout our whole Atlantic coast and on our north-eastern frontier; and he asked gentlemen if we were there prepared to meet such an emergency." It is stated that Mr. Calhoun remitted to Mr. Everett by the last steamer a most decided dispatch, demanding from our Government positive information relative to the refusal given by the authorities of Bermuda some time back to de liver up some slaves who, after murdering a family in Florida, escaped to the island. The Massachusetts Anti-Annexation Convention, after adopting an address stating their views, had adjourned sine die. TILE CAMBERWELL POISONING CASE.—On Monday the inquest on this mysterious case was resumed before Mr. Carter, at the George Canning's Head, Grove-lane, Camber well. After other, but not very explicit evidence, the Co roner summed up. The .two first branches of inquiry, he stated, were quite satisfactorily answered, namely, the iden tity of the bodies and the means by which their death had been caused, which was clearly shown to be the poison of arsenic taken in their tea ; but the third inquiry, as to how and by whom it had been administered, was the question of difficulty. He carefully went over the evidence, and pointed out its bearings as it might affect the three individuals who only seemed to have had any means of access to it, namely, Mr. Montague, Mrs. Montague, and George May, and left it entirely to the jury to say whether any of these, and if any, which, could be in any way held to be culpable. After upwards of two hours' deliberation, the jury, about seven o'clock, returned a verdict " That the deceased persons came to their deaths by having taken the poison of arsenic in their tea, but by whom administered there is no evidence before thenkto show." SUGAR RESOLUTIONS. It is difficult to assign a reason why Sir Robert Peel should have decided, in his sugar resolutions, upon fixing a duty only of 14s. per cwt. on brown or muscovado sugar, except ing for the reason he himself alleged, that such reduction would bring down the price a penny and the fraction of a farthing per pound to the consumer, which, whether he knows it or not, is a fallacious position, because, if the con sumption exceed the supply from the British possessions (which he computes it will do), it requires no great stretch of sagacity to foresee that the ex-duty price of British sugars must rise to the extent of the differential duty between British and foreign sugars before the lat ter can be 'admitted into our markets, and so virtually inflict a tax of 235. 4d. per cwt. on all sugar ; true, 14s. per cwt. only of this amount will find its way to the Treasury, and 9s. 4d. into the pockets of the British sugar producers; but, nevertheless, the consumer would have to pay the 235. 4d. per cwt., let that amount be divided how it may. This arrangement is annoying enough, even if the finance of the country would permit us so to en rich the sugar producers, but when it is found that the scheme injures the revenue to the extent of 1,300,000/., and that that deficiency is to be made good by an inquisitorial income-tax, which the people justly abomi nate, it becomes disgustingly objectionable. Better would it have been for the public, that Sir Robert Peel had left the sugar duties alone, than get us into the costs and difficulties described. After all, what does this reduction of duty on sugar, about which so much has been said, amount to as concerns the payments the people will have to make? Why, as far as paying goes (and that is a main element in the affair), the consumers will be com pelled to pay 235. 4d. per cwt. (never mind for the moment how it is divided) under the proposed sugar resolutions-and they have under the present law to pay 255. 3d. per cwt.- exhibiting a reduction of merely Is. 11d. per cwt., which paltry sum will be absorbed long before the sugar reaches the consumer's hands. If all brown or muscovado sugar, without distinction of country or origin, had been admitted to our markets at 14s. per cwt., then the sup ply would have been equal to the demand, and the con sumers would have enjoyed the full benefit conferred by the reduction of duty. But now to the sugar resolutions. The Minister has proposed to fix a duty of 14s. per cwt. on all British brown and muscovado sugar; that is his starting point ; it will be curious to investigate by what process of reasoning he has arrived at the various grades of duty he has affixed on different kinds of sugar, and how they stand as compared one against the other. Should the Minister have applied his mind at all to the subject, and not trusted to guesses, he must have divided the 1121 b. of muscovado sugar into six parts his.), two-and-fourpences exactly give the amount of duty, Ns.), four of which he treats as crys tallizable sugar, and two as refuse. lie then assumes (for he does not know) that that denomination of sugar. which he is pleased to call white clayed, or equal to clayed, will lose one-sixth, or 1811 b. out of each 1121 b. of muscovado sugar submitted to the process of clay ing, or of attaining the same degree of fineness by some other operation, and, therefore, argues he, in order to obtain 14s. on the remaining 9351 b., 2s. 4d., must be added to the muscovado duty of 14s. ; it is consequently forthwith deter mined that the duty on clayed, or equal to clayed, shall be 16s. 4d. per cwt. He has evidently forgotten while this cogitation has been occupying his brains, that some muscovado sugars are preferable to white clayed, shown by the price they bring in the open market. For example, Mr. Goulburn's Jamaica muscavado sugars, marked M G, command more money than some white clayed sugars. Again, brown St. Vincent sugar, clearly muscovado sugar, would be taken in preference, on account of the saccharine essence in it, to some white sugars which had undergone some process to purify them ; here, then, is an anomaly. Muscovado sugars, superior to clayed, ad mitted at 14s. per cwt. merely because they are muscovado and inferior sugar charged with a duty of 16s. 4d. merely be cause it has been clayed. The next regulation refers to refined sugar, and contains a parcel of unintelligible jargon, such as, in loaf, complete and whole, or lumps duly refined, having been perfectly clarified, and duly dried in a stove, and being of an uniform whiteness throughout, or such sugar, pounded, crushed, or broken, for every cwt. 18s. Bd. Can such an absurdity as the foregoing verbiage be matched in the United Kingdom ? So, before the duty of 18s. Bd. per cwt. can be levied on this class of sugar, the Custom-house officer will have to prove that all the above conditions have been complied with. And what will be the consequence, supposing he is satisfied that all the conditions have been acted on, except one-for instance, that the sugar had been dried in the sun, instead of the stove ? Why, the importer will have to pay the Sir lesser grade of duty 16s. 4d., i ns t ea d of 18s. Bd.,perew o cwt. Robert in adjusting this d u ty must have considered r tlla s t s in refining sugar one. third of it is driven off by the process-- namely, 36i1b., and that there for which, in accordance with his fixes the ought to have wouldremain muscovado tlu duty, h lb 14s. ; he therefore adds e . 3 4s. Bd., and fixes duty on refined at 18s. Bd. per cwt. , whic h exactl y g ives the 14s. for 751 b. to double refined. Why, of refined, or sugar equal in Then there is a resolution requir in g 21s. p er cwt. for double d egr ee that, although no quite good, sou d course, the colonist qualitywould be t careful t s o o manufacture degree to l that shade of double refined sugar. In some statesbe within a ofmarkets sugar so manufactured would command the same ex 'duty price as sugar equal to double refined, hut which could not be assessed at the 21s. per cwt., because it is a shade inferior to double refined sugar, and would conse quently come in at the 18s. Bd. per cwt. Was there ever such nonsense concocted to rule the commercial transactions of a great nation in sugar? The fifth resolution proposes a duty of 265. per cwt. on brown candy, and the sixth 355. per cwt. on white candy. What quantity of white candy can the Minister imagine re sults from refining 1121 b. of muscovado sugar ? entiliresolutionrelast. 3d. relates to molasses, which it pro posTehsetoseadntt at a duty of ss. per cwt. Now molasses is composed of sugar, treacle, dirt, and other make-weights ; and the duty has always been apportioned to meet the weight of sugar in each 1121 b. of molasses • here it is calculated th a t t h ere will be 4211),, which at ss. ' 3d., just conies out 14s. per cwt. ; the consequence is that the treacle is admitted duty tree, and ever has been so, for the benefit of the West Indians, although the hacknied plea has been set forth that it is for the benefit of the poor man. Not a word is set down in these resolutions about duty on cane juice, nor a syllable about sugar in solution ; e co lonist may import, for ought the resolutionsfy to the contrary, 'fine white sugar in a solution of disco] ured liquid, which colouring might be easily removed in /this country, and such a solution would be admitted at the same duty as molasses. We have now concluded our remarks on the sugar resolu tions, as far as they relate to British sugars ; we do not enter upon the duties on foreign sweet, because they are nothing more than a repetition of the same absurdities. Had the Minister proposed to reduce the duty on all muscovado sugar, we should have hailed the measure with joy, as a great benefit to the consumer, but when we find that the proposed partial reduction will cause the serious de ficiency of 1,300,000/. (and nobody knows how much more), as stated by Sir Robert Peel, and that that deficiency is to be made good by an income-tax, the case is altogether altered, and we should say, only reduce the sugar duties to that extent which would occasion no deficiency, and let us have no inquisitors to invade the privacy of our concerns. In fact, rather than have an income-tax, Sir Robert had better have left the sugar duties alone. There can be no question the sugar duties, as proposed by the resolutions, were conceived for the especial purpose of putting 2,600,000/. into the pockets of the British sugar producers, under the specious pretence of giving the consumer his sugar at three halfpence a pound cheaper—a prediction which never can be fulfilled by carrying these resolutions out. But submit the consumers must to the iniquity, because Sir Robert Peel com , Elands a majority consisting of monopolists. ------ -- COUNTY MAGISTRATES. TO THE EDITOI? OF THE SUN. SIR,—As hardly a day occurs without meeting with reports in the newspapers of the gross ignorance of Jus tices of the Peace, perhaps you may not deem the fol lowing observations on the mode of appointment of such dignitaries out of place, especially as a new commission has just issued. Justices of the Peace were originally elected by the people, under the somewh a t diff erent name of Conservators of the Peace. This. however, was taken from the public by King Edward 111., who took upon himself to appoint persons to fill this office, and then, first, such appointment was called t he Kings commission. This was settled by all the judges in the year 1590, to issue under the Great Seal, and all justices are appointed by it, the Custos Rotulorum being the prircipal for his county, and the King for the whole kingdom. Thus it may be perceived that all justices are appointed by the Crown, and it is but natural for the mass of the public to suppose that they are carefully selected out of the rest of mankind for their great legal acumen, their sound practical knowledge of the laWs they undertake to administer, and their general erudition. Such is a very pleasing theory, but let us see what is the practice. The Lord Lieutenant for each county re tuitie iipon his-own responiihility 1 - 11 it of fitatsi proper persons to the Lord Chancellor, who thereupon ap points them as a matter of course, doubtlessly suppoaing that in his situation the Lord-Li e ut enan t, never for one moment, has suffered himself to be acted upon by party bias or private motives. If the Lord Chancellor does believe this, I pity his incredulity, for it is notorious, that each Lord-Lieutenant, according to his political feelings, sends in a list of his own supporters, and, what is even worse, suffers the lowest relatives of his land agents, and other hangers-on, to be stuck in among the rest, together with the sycophantic holders of his livings, parties ready at all times to do his bidding, be it what it may ; and thus, to use the learned Black stone's words, " the extensive power of a justice of the peace, which, even in the hands of men of honour, duly qualified for so important a trust, is highly formidable, is prostituted to mean and scandalous purposes, to the low ends of selfish ambition, avarice, or personal resent ment ; and from these ill consequences we may collect the prudent foresight of our ancient law-givers, who suf fered neither the property or the punishment of the people to be determined by the opinion of any one or two men." These are the words of a writer nearly a hundred years ago, and may, with much greater force, be applied now, when the powers of magistrates are so extensively enlarged, and when everybody who tacks " esquire" after his name, be his mental qualification ever so low, and every parson on the same side of politics with the Lord- Lieutenant, is thrust into the commission of the peace, until, what were formerly a select few, have become a mob of petty judges—a set of men licensed, as it were, to dispose of the liberty and property of their fellow men, merely because they are ready to follow their patron through any dirty path he may select, and chance to have as much land as will give them one hundred pounds a-year. Really, Sir, if we were to read of such a mode of appointing judges amongst the Chinese or any other people we have been accustomed to look down upon, a smile of contempt for their laws would instantly cross our features, and yet here, in England, in the nineteenth century, a certain small sum of money per annum (if derivable from land, for, if otherwise, it has no such efficacy) has the miraculous power of rendering a man a fit and proper person to sit in judgment on the rest of mankind, and by a kind of legerdemain, to instil all the concen trated essence of legal knowledge—the multorum ca melorum onus the superabundance of my Lord. Lieutenant's own knowledge, into the heads of his subordinates. The clergy, too, the :peacemakers of Government, the preachers of brotherly love, are un seemingly placed in the commission, and, I regret to say, are always the most severe, I may say savage, dispensers of the laws they are ignorant of. I was much pleased, some years ago, to hear the Lord-Lieute nant of a county, which shall at present be nameless, affirm that he bad made up his mind not to place any more clergymen in the commission of the peace, and highly respectable parties who had applied for that honour were satisfied with this answer. Well, Sir, in a few years after, to the surprise of all, a parson, a near relative of one of the chief underlings of the custos, was appointed magistrate, and the door being once opened a whole shoal of small fry rushed in. So much for free dom from private motives and party bias ! With regard to the mode of the administration of the laws by their worships, I shall merely add that, for many years past, I have constantly attended at quarter sessions and magistrates' meetings, and, from long observation, I do not hesitate to affirm that the generality of county magistrates are acted upon by party feeling, and other motives foreign to their character as judges. Ido not for a moment mean to say that know ingly they do so, but it is impossible for men not legally educated, wholly to divest themselves of such feelings. In support of my assertion, look at the gam e convictions, peruse the appeals from magistrates' decisions, and lastly compare the punishment of offenders at quarter sessions with men tried for the same crimes at assizes. Should you, Sir, be pleased to give insertion to this somewhat lengthy letter, I doubt not a host of heroes will jump up ready to defend the system hereby condemned ; bat at this I shall rejoice, for the more the matter is brought before the public eye, the more likely are we to have a remedy applied to the evil. I have been behind the scenes for nearly twenty years, and I could say much, but for the present I have done, and remain obediently yours. A BARRISTER AND ACTING MAGISTRATE. PUBLICATIONS.

Yeates," which has attracted so much attention, the jury were in lAA night till eleven o'clock, and then, there being no probability of their agreeing, were discharged. This is equivalent to a triumph for the defendant, at the former trial a jury having given a verdict against him with 3001. damages. On the present occasion, the great majority of the jury were for find ing a verdict in his favour, but there were one or two recu sants who obstinately held out, and thus there has been no verdict. The action was for alleged seduction, accomplished through the defendant's position and influence as a magis trate. The defendant, in applying for a new trial, positively swore that the whole business was a conspiracy against him, and utterly destitute of any foundation in fact whatever. lie put himself, consequently, on trial in the second instance not only for the alleged seduction, but for perjury. It is very fortunate that he has thus succeeded. Mr. Yeates is a gentleman of fortune, and has been high sheriff of his county.

THE NEW ARRANGEMENTS FOR THE INDIA MAILS. —The mail just arrived is the first under the bi-monthly arrangement. The Hindostan left the Sand Heads, Cal cutta, with it on the 10th of January, and arrived at Suez on the 4th of February. A detention of twenty hours in Egypt occurred by the vessel on the Nile getting aground. The Great Liverpool departed with it from Alexandria on the morning of the 9th inst., arrived at Malta with it on the morning of the 13th, from whence the portion of it ad dressed via Marseilles was forwarded the same day by her Majesty's steamer Acheron, and would, in ordinary course, have arrived in London on the 20th—leaving four days interval for replying to letters by the outgoing mail of yesterday, 24th, notwithstanding the de tention of nearly a day over the usual time in Egypt. The snow and frost in France has, however, prevented the mail getting through from Marseilles as usual. In ordinary cir cumstances the direct mail may be expected to arrive in Lon don about the 20th of every month, or four days before the t t d h e e p a s r t t i r o e f o e f v t e h r e y outward o n;a f i o l, u a r n o d r t fi o rrilaedvaeyast beforeCalcutta h e a b d o i u s patch from that place of the homeward mail for England. It seems not to be generally known that letters from Bombay may be forwarded by this intermediate or direct mail, by way of Madras. The mail dispatched from London on the 24th will reach Madras on the 29th of the following month, and the steamer will leave Madras on her homewarddroauwtke for England on the 14 th of t h e m o n t h following, thus giving an interval of fifteen days between the arrival of the out war d mail and the departure of the homeward mail. T post between Madras and Bombay occupies six day h s e , conse quently a letter can be sent from Madras to Bombay, can be answered from thence, and the reply b e sent to Madras in sufficient time to meet the homeward bound steamer for England.
