LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 5, 1851, Different countries, of course, indicate the amount of their prosperity in a manner very diversified, ac cordingly as their inhabitants may be engaged in labours of an agricultural or manufacturing character. There is one index, however, which is invariably capable of application, no matter how strange soever the diversities of enterprise betrayed by the people of Christendom, as a means of intimating the extent of their respective development in civilization. Our al lusion must be at once c omprehensible to those who are gifted with even a moderate share of discernment. It has reference to the roads intersecting the surface of the earth, those channels of intercommunication in proportion to the number and excellence of which are the conveniences or luxuries of a community. Science has, of late years, multiplied these lines of intercourse in a way, such as our forefathers, saga cious men though they were in many particulars, would infallibly have regarded as little less than miraculous. This, moreover, not merely through those mercantile aqueducts which may be said to irrigate our inland towns with a merchan dise hitherto restricted to places situated on the river bank, or the sea shore--THE CANALS—but by that marvellous network of iron, threaded by the fiery dragons of philosophy—THE RAILWAYS—that wondrous system which is covering with a metallic web the surface both of the new world and the old, and accelerating the social pulse, so to speak, with every throb of its steam-engines. It is to this extra ordinary multiplication of highways throughout the world that the advancement of the present age is principally attributable, affording as this circumstance has done, such a very surprising impetus to the energies of mankind, and binding together, as it has, in such close proximity interests:,previously scattered abroad in confusion. Hence, we repeat, the gigantic improvements effected more or less among the most strikingly contrasted populations. Remarkable as these things are throughout the whole of the principal territories of Europe, they are, above all, and beyond all, especially remarkable in r( ward to the islands of Great Britain. A glance at a map of the eastern hemisphere v 3 id evidence the force of our observa tion upon this head with sufficient distinctness. While France, for example, is solely furnished with trunk rail% ayF, while Germany has even these in many parts only in a fragmentary condition, while Lombardy has merely one restricted and broken line crossing the northern part of *the peninsula from Novara towards the Adriatic, while Tuscany pos sesses merely an insignificant branch con necting Florence with the Mediterranean, the iron roads of Zogland have been con structed over various shires with extravagant profusion, whether considered in regard to the wealth or the energies necessary to their collective com pletion. Justified though we may be in exulting over these evidences of a national intelligence superior, in our regard, and, in this instance, to the most distinguished among the contemporary ;races of Christendom, there are reasons, nevertheless, why we should abstain from such tokens of vainglory, if it be only out of a very shame at the abuses which even to this moment await removal. Conspicuous above all the evils that might be enumerated is one which we shall content ourselves with speci fying, as perhaps the most serious and disgraceful obstacle yet remaining in the way of international traffic. Anyone who has travelled across Channel will comprehend on the instant that this obstacle is none other than the system of Custom-house regu lations. Added to which, anyone not entirely blinded by the prejudices engendered by agricultural monopoly will perceive that those regulations furnish additional and unanswerable arguments in favour of Free-trade principles. However enthusiastic the "Farmer's Friend" may be in behalf of the sophisms of the Country Party, let him find himself hustled about for half an hour among the Custom-house officials, his wardrobe " towzled" about as indiffe rently as though it were the property of a pickpocket, his portmanteau searched as rigorously as the box of a servant suspected of larceny or embezzlement— and we warrant him he will emerge from that übiquitous temple of persecution somewhat flushed and irritated in body, with a secret misgiving that all is not exactly as it should be in regard to the theme of his panegyrics and the object of his vane ration. Hitherto our Legislature has acted in reference to such world-wide abuses with a daring and magnani mity which to the more timorous class of observers have appeared nothing less than Quixotic. Aware that a certain degree of reciprocity is absolutely es sential to render any such gigantic innovations as those here intimated effectual, England has, never theless, conceived it to be advisable rather to jeopardize something by temerity than to peril everything by a course of indifference and procrastination. Her Go vernment has preferred to offer an example to sur rounding nations by a series of comprehensive re forms, rather than consent to participate with them in the odium of an inflexible pertinacity in the mainte nance of error. Hence the courageous abandonment of the corn-laws, even while the doctrines of mono poly remained incorporated with the fiscal code of the other powers of Christendom. Hence, again, the financial intrepidity displayed in other directions, as, for example, in regar d t o th e l aws re l a ti ng t o inter national copyright, laws which cannot by possibility prove efficacious until the coincident opinions of the Parliaments of other countries have enabled their influence to become reciprocal. Quixotic, we have said, these movements on the part of the British Legislation have appeared to the more timorous section of the multitude in the United Kingdom, and as Quixotic they have been alternately derided and vilified. Very different, indeed, are the sentiments with which these proceed ings have been regarded by the more liberal, and not less patriotic, scrutineers of the reforms introduced by the Imperial Parliament. Conscious that England, from her wealth and her industrial energies, is pecu- liarly qualified to act AS the pioneer of improvement throughout Christendom, they have watched with eager satisfaction, rather than with feelings of anxiety, the boldness with Which her statesmen have directed her counsels along this broad and beneficient pathway of exberiment. Applied to such vast and comprehensive departments of the Administration the Is 3 stem here intimated has proved up to the present moment anything rather than disastrous It has conferred advantages upon the commu nity, which without its interposition must have reweiced altogether inaccessible. It has con- ;ratted the evil produced by insufficent har- vests, and by . the consequent scarcity of borne- grown provisions. It has compensated the artisan for diminished employment, by placing the necessaries of existence more directly within his reach. It has mitigated the horrors arising out of a thstructive epidemic, by cheapening the means of nutrition. From all which considerations it must be manifest ;hat good rather than ill has resulted from the opera tion of a scheme until now so egregiously misrepre- sented by its opponents. What has been thus hap pily effected, therefore, in regard to larger and more elaborated divisions cf the public Fervid, we would . now see carried out in reference to the system of Custom-house regulations. We would have no more sops thrown to the, Cerberi of that inocorable insti tution. We would more willingly see them stran gled by that many-handed BRIAILEUS the Legislature, rendering the record of their robberies by this means LONDON, as much annals of the crimes gone by as the history of CLAUDE DUVAL or the biography of RICHARD TURPIN. Although so little was accomplished during the past session of Parliament, it cannot be looked upon as a legislative blank, without some redeeming fea ture to rescue the year 1851 from general animad version. A measure of no ordinary importance, in troducing a much required legal reform, which had long been discussed, and in favour of which the voice of public opinion bad been unequivocally uplifted, was carried through its various stages, and became the law of the land. The Law of Evidence:Bill narrowly escaped the shoals and quicksands, by means whereof so many of ifs companions were wrecked before arriving in harbour. It was only at the last moment that it passed the House of Commons, the amendments of the Upper House having been unconditionally ac cepted. The slightest delay or hesitation would have been fatal to the measure. The demand even of a conference would have rendered the labour that had been expended comparatively valueless, and it would have shared the fate of the Patent Laws Amendment Bill, the County Courts Extension Bill, and others, that were rejected at the eleventh hour, not from any inherent defects, but because due consideration could not be given to the alterations that bad been intro duced in the other branch of the Legislature. Although the Bill was thus carried at the eleventh hour, it could not be said that it was rashly approved of, or sanctioned without ample time for deliberation on its principles and details. The admission of the testimony of parties bad been one of the favourite doctrines of the illustrious BENTHAM, a man whose extraordinary merits are at length recognised and appreciated principally through the labours of his most distinguished disciple—an whom his mantle de scended with double power—HENRY Lord BROUGHAM, the greatest law reformer of the present, or perhaps we may say of any age. 'When we consider the facts of the case it will only appear strange that a matter so obvious should have been so long delayed, when it was already recognised in all proceedings in courts of equity, and also on all disputed motions relating to the equitable jurisdictions of the common law courts. It is true that it was admitted in the most ques tionable form—where theremedy, " a vice' voce cross examination," which might have corrected any pos sible danger, was excluded—but it was admitted ; and notwithstanding the manifest objection that existed we have never heard any sufficient grounds put for ward for an alteration in the practice. In Chancery every defendant must put in his answer on oath, and must reply to every interroga tory respecting the subject-matter of the suit which his opponent may please to exhibit. He can also obtain the testimony of the plaintiff, by filing a cross bill whenever the magnitude of the subject in dispute renders it advisable to incur the heavy expenses of such a proceeding. A bill of discovery may also be filed, to which an answer on oath must be returned, which will be admissuble in any proceedings in a court of common law. Here, then, we find that the evidence of the parties might have been obtained in a documen tary form long before the enactments now under notice were brought on the tapir. But the advantage could only be obtained at a heavy outlay and with very considerable loss of time. These impedi ments acted as practical prohibitions in all cases where the suitors were nut exceedingly wealthy, and enabled to submit to delays and expenses that would be ruinous under ordinary circumstances, and if the new Act only remedied that acknowledged evil, and afforded the requisite facilities for setting the existing machinery in motion, it would be an improve ment that would command universal approval. But it does far more : it not only admits the evi dence of the parties themselves, but gives it in the most unexceptionable form, and subjects it to the most stringent tests. If an ordinary witness shrinks from the ordeal of a cross-examination, where there is nothing but the skill of a practised and experienced advocate, uninstructed as to the exact circumstances, to lead him into contradictions, how much more formidable must it be to a party in the cause where all the details of the transaction have been explained to the opposing counsel by his client ! He must nar rate the most minute circumstances, give explana tions at the moment, that would perplex and puzzle the most acute perverter of the truth. However debased and demoralized may be the mind of the witness, however anxious he may be to convey a false impression to the judge or jury, he will hesitate before he encounters so serious a risk, in which the chances of detection and exposure are so numerous. In place of acting as an incentive to perjury (as some timid, and perhaps interested parties have asserted), we believe that it will afford the best safeguard and guarantee against the infamous prac tice, and that it will more than realize the most sanguine anticipations that have been entertained by its advocates and supporters as to its practical ope ration. We rejoice to find that the speech of its distin guished author, Lord BROUGHAM, on proposing the second reading of the Bill in the House of Lords, has just been published," together with a preface pointing cat the various stages of public feeling in reference to the subject; and also a copy of the Act as it eventually passed the Legislature. It may be con sidered a" painting of the rose" to say anything in favour of an oration of the greatest living law reformer, on a subject to which he has devoted so much time, attention, and almost unceasing labour. We shall, therefore, only state that it is in every respect worthy of its author, that it will add an additional wreath to the crown which Lord BROUGHAM will wear, we trust, for many, many years, and which will carry down his name to future generations as one of the benefactors of mankind, who succeeded in removing some of the most flag rant and prominent abuses that disgraced the law cf his native land, and in introducing a system that ensured equal and impartial justice to all, without exception, to the poor as well as to the rich.

PROROGATION Or PARLIAMENT.—Parliament was yesterday prorogued by Royal Commission to Tuesday, the 4th of November. No material alterations h ave b een ef . fected in the House during the vacation. The Commons were represented, as usual, by the Clerk of the House. A great number of ladies attended to see the ceremony, and the throne, as well as the chairs of Prince Albert and the Prince of Wales, were uncovered. ANOTHER Low TlDE.—Yesterday morning the river again presented a very remarkable appearance, in con sequence of the tide falling much lower than usual, which rendered the navigation of steam-boats and other craft very difficult, especially above Hungerford-bridge, where the river seemed as narrow as a canal. DEATH OF SIR WILLIAM PARKE.—This gentle man expired at his seat, Dunally, in the county of Sligo, on the Ist inst., after a protracted illness, aged 73. He for many years filled the office of deputy-lieutenant and justice of the peace for the county of Sligo, and was formerly Lieu tenant-Colonel of her Majesty's 66th Regiment. He obtained a gold medal for his military services in Egypt, in 1801, and the war medal with three clasps, bearing the names of " Corunna," " Yimiera," and " Eg3 pt, for his services in the Peninsular campaign. He was also in . the expedition to Welchem, in 1799, and was with the regiment at St. Helena during the exile of Napoleon Bonaparte. He married, in 1813, Louisa, daughter of Charles Johnstone, Esq., of Lud low, Salop. --Dublin Evening Mall. FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE NEAR THE EXHIBITION. —Yesterday information was sent to Mr. Bedford, the co roner, of a most deplorable death, which took place on the previous evening at Knightsbridge, close to the Great Exhi bition. The road was very much crowded at the time with the vehicles returning with some of the company who had in the course of the day been to the Exhibition. A middle aged woman, named Jane Holloway, the wife of a soldier in the Life Guards, attempted to cress the highway, when she was knocked down by an omnibus which was going to Hackney, and besides being trampled on by the horses, the wheels seem to have passed over her body. The driver, as soon as he found what had happened, stopped his horses, and the unfortunate woman was raised up, but no appear ance of life remained. The conductor instantly conveyed her to St. George's Hospital, when the surgeons, on exa mining her, pronounced her quite dead, but the nature of the injuries have not yet been ascertained. BANGOR AND CARNARVON RAILWAY.—This im portant branch of railway, for the convenience of the southern and western part of Carnarvonshire, is fast progressing. The ground between Port Dinorwic and Carnarvon has teen cut, and it is confidently expected that the line will be op en f or traffic before Christmas. We are desirous of giving honour to those to whom honour is due, and we are bound to say that Carnarvonshire is under a debt of gratitude to T. A. Smith, Esq., and his agents, for the general and active part they have taken in the furtherance of this desirable specula tion.—North Wales Chronicle. THE SEE OF GLOUCESTER AND BRISTOL—The petition to her Majesty for the establishment of a distinct see for Gloucester has been forwarded by Lord Redesdale to Sir George Grey for presentation to her Majesty. Appended to it are the names of 169 of the parochial clergy of fhe diocese of Gl , ucester, of 227 churchwardens, and of a large number of the nobility, magistrates, and gentry of the county, making altogether upwards of 1,300 eignatures.--Buth and Cheltenham Gazette. FRIDAY EVENING, THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have fzeei,ed ho Pari. juuzni.ils c=" Upwards of 80 persons have been arrested on a pretended charge of conspiring to raise an insurrec tion. Among them is the editor of the Voix du Proscrit, which journal has been stopped. It is generally con sidered that thu whole affair has been got up by the police. The Evenement says— " Last night and this morning an absolute razz4t took place in Paris. Numerous arrests were effected in the quarters St. Honoi 6, St. Martin, and St. Marceau. Amongst the persons arrested are several German re fugees. It is also said that the members of the Committee of Resistance are amongst the number. All have been lodged in the prison Mazas. We have just been informed that the Commissary of Police of the first arondisse ment presented himself to-day at twelve o'clock, at the office of the Voix du Proscrit to arrest M. Dalican, the director of shat journal. lie is accused, it is said, of a plot against the safety of the State. All the papers and registers were taken away." The Constitutionncl has a long article from the pen of M. GARNIER DE CASSAGNAC, full of abuse or the Princes of the House of Orleans in general, and of the Prince DE JOINVILLE in particular. We consider this of good omen for the Prince DE JOINVILLE, for there never was any cause which was honoured by the support of M. GARNIER DE CASSAGNAC but it failed, and failed ignobly; until Louis PHILIPPE had the misfortune to have GARNIER DE CASSAGNAC'S support he was successful in all his undertakings. The French Mediterranean squadron, under Ad miral PARSEVAL DESCHENES, came to an anchor off Algiers on the 25th ult., and was to remain there until the 29th, after which it was to proceed direct to Toulon. The corvette Artemise, now fitting out at Cher bourg, is, it is said, intended to form part of a scien tific expedition round the world, under the command of Captain PAGE.

GERMAN Y. The Aew Prussian Gazette contains a letter from Vienna of the 3d inst., which says :—" It is decided at present that the EMPEROR will return from Ischl to Schoenbrun before proceeding to Verona. M. HuBNER, the Austrian Ambassador at Paris, has left this place to return to his post." A letter from Vienna, 30th ult., says:—" The promulgation of the new Constitution may be shortly expected. The Ministers and the Coun cil of the Empire have examined and revised it, so that it may soon be submitted to the sanction of the EMPEROR. The camp, which it is proposed to establish in the Marchfield, will be on a larger scale than has ever yet been seen. The neces sary preparations are being made, and it will be com pleted by,. the time the EMPEROR returns from Italy. It is still txpected that the Emperor NICOLAS will honour the camp with his presence, and that the POPE will come to Verona. BELGIUM. PROROGATION OF TFIE CHAMBERS. The Belgian Senate re .assembled on Wednesday, and the galleries, open to the public, were crowded in expectation of some Ministerial announcement re specting the vote of the previous day, by which the Government Bill on successions was rejected. After the minutes had been read, the Minister of the In terior ascended the tribune, and presented a royal decree proroguing the Senate and the Chamber of Deputies. Cries of " Vive le Roi l" were raised by the senators and the public, and immediately after the Senate broke up. RUSSIA. The rag Gazette, under date of Hassentin, 17th ult., says :—" The Russian camp established between Kamenetz, Podolska, Chotym, and Jampol, on the Dniester, is composed of 25,000 infantry, 6,000 ca valry, and 60 pieces of artillery. These troops will be continually occupied with military manesuvres. It was at first said that these were destined to march against France, but now it is stated that an expedi tion into Turkey is in contemplation. A number of vessels have recently arrived in the port of Jampol, which could, in a few days, transport them all into the Black Sea." TURKEY. A letter from Constantinople, of the 19th ult, says that the semi-official Turkish papers now confess that a camp is to be formed at Beni Bazar, and that OMEN Pacne intends marching upon the frontier of Mon tenegro to overawe the lawless inhabitants of that country. Neither the Austrian Government nor the Porte, however, adds the correspondent, have the slightest intention of destroying the independence of Montenegro. ITAL Y. A letter from Rome, in the Univers, states that the city was thrown into great excitement on the 29J1 ult. by the apartments of Signor ALESSAN DRONI, one of the superior officials of the Secretariat of State, being broken open by the police, and mi nutely searched. As Signor ALESSANDRONI in habited some rooms in the palace of the Quirinal the police could not have ventured upon such an act without a special permission from the POPE himself. All this seemed to in dicate that suspicions of a very serious na ture rested upon Signor ALESSANDRONI, who was in the country at the time ; and public rumour adds that the discoveries made by the police among his papers were so important as to induce the Go vernment to send off the French packet two days sooner. The same correspondent states that an at tempt at assassination was committed on the 28th ult. upon COUnt DANDINI, an Assessor of the Direc tion of the Police, but that the stiletto struck the hipbone, and thus caused but a slight weund. The Official Venice Gazette of the 30th ult. states that the priest PIETRO DALLOCA, a native of Venice, has been condemned to five years' imprisonment, for having sent two numbers of the It a li a d e l P o p o l o of MAzzINI to a friend of his at Ferrara. 4 6.11 fk1e ; 1 6, 1 4,4 " 0 1 9 , ky/ krt il tt L INC OLN RACES.

MULTIPLICATION Br Diviszos. —An experiment on the fertility of wheat has, during the past year, been carried out in the garden of Mr. Stowe, a surgeon at Buck ingham, of which the following is a correct account. On the 13th of July, 1850, a single grain of wheat was sown in the garden ; the plant came up in ten days, and grew luxu riantly till the 13th of September; it was then taken up and divided into slips, and replanted. The plants lived, and flourished till the 13th of November, when they were again raised, divided, and replanted, and suffered to remain till the 16th of April of the present year. The weather then becoming favourably wet, they were all taken up again and divided into no less than 114 plants; these being planted, were permitted to stand till the month of August, when they were productive of the amazing number of 520 ears of wheat, many of them of full size, containing more than 50 grains of corn. The crop was gathered before it was fully ripened, as the birds attacked it in spite of revolving feathers and a protecting net. Whether the result of this trial will strengthen the opinion of those who contend for the thin sowing of wheat in ordinary field cultivation, must be left to the judgment of more practical agriculturists, but of the amazing productiveness of the wheat plant, under such treatment, any one may easily satisfy himself by repeating the experiment. BELPER.—STATE OF TnADE.—We cannot give any very favourable report of trade this week. The silk glove branch does not seem to improve, although twenty weeks have elapsed since any quantity has been given out to the workmen. Kid gloves appear to be generally worn instead of silk. Unless the manufacturers turn their atten- tion to making selvedge gloves instead of cut ones, there will be no great demand for silk gloves as a general article of apparel. The wrought cotton hose hands seem quite settled down to the abatement of Is. per dozen. and we are sorry to say that this branch is not fully employed. The drawer and pantaloon branch does not improve, although the coarser gauges are mostly well employed at this season of the year for the autuin demand. The hands are in ex pectation of being set on in the course of a few days. At present there appears to be no activity in the hosiery trade, and the workmen are in a most depressed condition,.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 6 000 bales, of which 1,000 American and 500 Surat were take for export. The sales comprised 5.000 American, 200 Pernam and Maranham, at 54 d. to 74d.; 150 Egyptian, at 60.; and 800 Surat, at 3itl. to 4id. per lb. The market was quiet, but steady.—Railv, ay Shares were heavy. The business done this week i❑ Sugar, Coffee, and other prineipel staples, has not been important, and prices have varied but little. Plantation Ceylon Coffee has been lower. Tea has declined for fine Imperial and Gunpowder. Rice also is cheaper, and Saltpetre has re ceded. Tallow, Cotton, and Rum, have been supported. Messrs. Walter, Howell, acd Hale, state that the stock of all descriptions of Rum in bond at this period, as com pared with that of last year, shows a total decrease of 2,504 puncheons, while the quantities upon which the duty has been paid up to the 26th August for home con sumption, during the last three years, shows a less con sumption this year, as compared with 1849, of 37,482 gallons. For Brandy the market is firm with a good demand; stocks of young brandies, however, are heavy, both her* and at Cognac. Duty has been paid to the 26th August each year, via :-1849, 640,131 galls.; 1850, 613.774 galls.; 1351, 591,793 galls.: showing a decrease of 48,338 galls. in 1851, as compared with 1849. During the summer months the market for Port Wine has been quiet, but now that we . re close upon the bottling sr ason there is a greater demand for low-priced good bottling wines, ranging from 251. upwards, which are very scarce in our market. The accounts from Oporto by the last packet, hand us bad intelligence of the coming vintage ; we regret to learn that the intense heat had dried up arid destroyed very large q rantities of the grapes. With the stock in Oporto we can ill afford to lose a great por tion of the vintage, particularly under existing circum stances ; we wait anxiously for the arrival of the next packet that we may receive further information regard ing the loss from this cause; meanwhile this must tend to make our market yet firmer for all descriptions of good low-priced bottling Ports. The Shipping Ri-turns made up by the Board of Trade, and at which we only glanced yesterday, may be thus condensed for the month to the sth ult.:— Inwards.

The United States letters report an easier Money Market, and express rather a confident hope that the Government will not interfere for the Cuban prisoners, many of whom are not Americans, either by birth or naturalisation, and all of whom are lawless invaders. The Amsterdam Bourse on the 3i instant was rather firm for Dutch Stock. The Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 557 to 5-16. Spanish Bonds were supported, bat Mexican were rather easier. The English Funds area little firmer to-day, but ex cept a few money transactions in the New Three- and-a- Qearter per Cents., at 98a to 9, there has not been much doing. Consols have been marked 96i 4 for Transfer, and the same for Account. The premium on Exchequer bills has not been higher than 455. to 475. South Sea Stock is supported at 1061. Foreign Securities have been quite inanimate.

GOLD IN THE GREENLAND MOUNTAINS. — We read a letter from Copenhagen of the 20th :—" It baying been stated that the chain of mountains which runs across the whole extent of Greenland is composed of formations similar to these of the Ural mountains, and that consequently there is reason to suppose t h a t it co ntains mines of the precious metals, M.
