TIMES.—It the omnibus proprietors bad got pos . - seosion of a particular line, and should, in order to avert a threatened competition, offer to pay the com petitors one-half of the gross proceeds of his bus:nesse we should naturally inter that such e person was making a very good thing of it at the public expense, and regard such a compact as little else than an agreement to share in the profits of extortion and plunder. We should desire that such a contract should not be carried out, and should wish to see the exorbitant profits of the monopolist restrained within a fair limit by wholesome competition. The attorneys are alarmed at a rumoured combination among the barristers to take business in the County Courts with out inflicting on the client the needless expense of employing one man to employ a nother, and, in ordsr to prevent them from carr y in g their threat into exe cution, effcr to halve the proceeds with them. Surely these gentlemen must have been driving a very com fortable trade when its profits admit of so very sweeple g a icheotioe, and die public will he much to blame it it do not itself oi the Idl:, and secure ttl itself s lil om e sbape or other emeneipetion titan the grevions to; which tie lower branch of the lee.l pio!ession have hitherto levied upon it. The attorneys heve heretofore enjoyed the monopoly of giving legal ad vice in the first instance ; they are the janitors of the temple of the law, and it is only by satisfying their demands that the laity are admitted to consult the oracle within. The supposition seems to have been that enough could be extracted from the public to support two persons, and that it was therefore neces sary to divide between them the work which could have been better executed by one. Now, however, that the payment has fallen below this comfortable standard a struggle seems likely to ensue between the two branches of the profession somewhat analogous to that on going between landlords and tenants. The landlord endeavours to persuade the tenant that the loss occasioned by diminished prices must be deducted from profits, while the tenant, with much more justice, maintains that the deduction should fall on rent. In this struggle it is easy to predict that the advantage will ultimately remain with the tenant, be cause it is through his hands that the landlord receives his produce in the shape of rent, and that share will in the long run only be paid after sufficient profit has been reserved. Just so, there is no doubt that in the struggle pending be- to t we eu barrister and attorney, supposing the etiquet of the profession to remain the same, the advantage m ust remain with the la tter ; the attorney will care of himself first, and if any loss is to be sus tained, will be sure to throw it rather on fees than on costs. Thus the barrister will gradually be ground down, his independence destroyed, his social position deteriorated, till talent, despairing of remuneration, shall be obliged to seek some other field for its exer tions. We do not wonder that with such a prospect before them the junior bar should combine to rescind the rule of etiquette which forbids them to commu nicate with their client directly, and requires the intervention of an attorney. In such an under taking we wish them all possible success, because their interests are identical with those of the public at large. Place a person requiring legal advice as near as possible in the centre of PLIMp•COIat. Within twenty yards of the spot where be stands are dozens of clear-headed men, thoroughly versed in the law, wh o would think one guinea, oat most two, an ample reward for the most complete solution which industry and acuteness can give thtoe his difficulties. W h y does he not, then, ente first staircase, knock at the first door, and receive from the inmate, in exchange for his guinea, the mo dicum of information he requires? Simply because such a process would be making the law far too easy en d accessible, would b e a s p arin g of the Egyptians, and an omission to levy the toll which the British pub lic has hitherto b een com p elled to pay. Our querist must leave the learned purlieus of Pump -court, and betake himself to his attorney in the City, to whom he must propound the question which, but for insu perable etiquette, would have been already asked and answered. The attorney writes down the question and the statement, transmits it to Pump-court, and returns the answer of the barrister to his the cl ie nt se The barrister gets h is guinea; the opinion, the onl y client, if ca has been stated rightly, gets his difference being that he has to pay seven orr m hi eight guineas more t o the attorney for asking fo a question which be could just as well takave he asked for himself'. Suppose a person wants to a house ; the attorney, if he is a reasonable ma, l ease will prepare the lease fo r sixteen guineas, but tha n t a barrister has probably drawn who thought himself handsomely paid with two ; the fourteen guineas are the toll paid for access to legal skill—the tax levied on the public for the maintenance of the etiquette of the bar. Now, we say it is the interest of the that pub theylic that this state of thing s should cease, and should be allowed, if they are so minded, to go straight to their counsel, without being forced through the expensive labyrinth of en attorney's office. We say that the rule which compels the paying ten guineas for having indirectly that which could be obtained directly for one is contrary to the principle of politi cal economy which requires all commodities to be produced as cheaply as possible, and regards artificial and factitious dearness as a tax levied on the many for the benefit of the few. Let any lande d proprietor consider the legal expenses of his estate for a single ) ear, and r fleet how much of them would have been saved had he been able to go directly to first-rate legal authorities, without being obliged w to ill emsee - ploy the interve ntion of an attorney, and he at on c e the justice of our rearks. We say further, th h at in this matter te interemsts of the public and the bar are identical, and that by altering their etiquette they would not only confer a great benefit on us, but on themselves. The most honourable and responsi ble duty which a lawyer exercises is that of giving advice; the duties of an advocate or of a manager of the details of practice and business are, compared with it, mean and technical. Yet this, the highest function of the lawyer, the bar of England have abdicated, from a mistaken feeling of delicacy, and leaving to be exercised by the attorneys, have con fined themselves to the lower walk of advocacy, or to the mere answering of such questions as the at torney may choose to pla ce before them. It was not thus that Sceevola, Hortensius, or Cicero dealt with their clients, but in this matter the poorest com moner in England is more exclusive that the proudest noble of Rome. By this voluntary withdr profession the bar has sacrificed to a phantom its considera tion, its emoluments, and, what is of infinitely more consequence, its honour and independence. By obliging the client in the first instance to place him self in the hands of the attorney, it has vested in him the patronage of the profession ; it is only through the good-will of that powerful class that a barrister can hope to succeed. If they smile upon him, he flourishes ; if they frown upon him, he is ruined. The attorneys have very naturally become conscious of their power, and have brought up their own rela tions to the bar as the future recipients of those good things whose distribution etiquette has forced upon them. The bar is ceasing to be a profession, and be corning an inh eritance. Mr. A. holds the brief for the plaintiff by descent, inasmuch as he is the so n of the plaintifrs attorney. Mr. B. is seized of the brief for the defendant in right of his wife, who is the daughter of the defendant's solicitor. It is now generally admitted that without strong interest success at the bar is not to be hoped for, and that interest is becoming daily more and more restricted to the friends of attorneys, or of those persons who are able to influence them. To this cause, which reduces the effective competition of the bar to a very small number of its members, we must trace that mediocrity of talent so generally com plained of. We have no Scotts and Erskines, because we have no longer the free competition which forms them. For this state of things the attorneys, who have besty turned the dvannotages of their posi tion to the acco unt, are a in way to blame. It is the bar which has brought these evils on itself, by refusing to exercise the functionthe profession a duty f adviser, and forc ing on the oth er branch of which necessarily placed them at its mercy. It is the interest of the bar to reconquer its in n depebndencade ; it is the interest of the public to obai thebest - vice with the least delay, and on the cheapesterms. Both these objects can be attained bhery tee p ee n of a si n gle rule of etiquette. We therefore heartily wish success to those gentlemen who are said to be combined for this object, and trust that in this, as the in many other matters, the Cou nt y Courts may lead way to the improvement of Westminster-hal amend . CHRONICLE—Lord Brougham's Act to the Law of Evidence comes in to operation to-dteay ; and as it will unquestionably affec t alteration in the practice of our superiverory m cour ts of justice, we cannot serve the public b e tter than by a arial drawing their attention shortly to some of its most important provisions. By far the most remarkable section tli iu the Act is the second, which_th renders every party to a suit and n exceptions, which we shall iresently mention — whose behalf it ' behalf, et* give evidence on his own compellable to results we testify on behalf of a and this change in the lawnyevery person on of the other parties. 1-i,b, cannot entertain‘Ail t. bene ficial In courts of law, will net of exclusion, could which ' only enable IDl:ny honest persons to establish just claims, with any hope of never success have been brought to trial the one hand, to enforce under the old system but it will deter at least an equal number of dishonest .st f rnen from attempting, on fraudulent dfmand, and on the other to set up a fictitious own d jury cannot fail to operate strongly .n that a defence. The knowledge story to the Court and went to the suitor who is th as an encourage witness of truth; while the dread of cross-examination,e quent exposure, will have a and of copse' tendency to check litigation in cases where a verdict can only courts bt ur o tso a f in e e g d uity th , ro t u h g e h san tl l i e e i l n i e l d .a iu n m of perjury. In tages willarise,so far as respects the power now first granted to parties of giving testimony in their own favour; while de fendants, who under the former law would have been forced to file cross bills for the purpose of " scraping the conscience" of plaintiffs, will be enabled to effect that desirable object without having recourse to this dilatory and costly proceeding. The exceptions to the general rule, which makes parties witne sses, are contained in the third and fourth sections of the Act, and are fourfold :-1. No person can be compelled to answer any question tending to criminate himself. 2. No person " who, in any criminal proceeding, is charged with the commission of any indictable offence, or any offence punishable on summar y conviction," is competent or compellable to testify for or against himself. 3. Husband and wives are neither competent nor compellable to give evidence for or against each other in any criminal proceeding; and lastly, the Act does not apply to any proceeding instituted in consequence of adultery, or to any action for breach of premise of mbrriuge. The great exct:rion, above .sisal, shit ,111- trOdLICA into the Act by the liuuee of Lord , , at the pressing instance of Lord Truro, and ought most as surediy never to have been inserted ; for, as Lord Campbell pointed out at the time, it is merely calcu lated to raise doubts where none should exist. By the general law of the land, every witness is pro tected from answering questions where the answers would tend either to criminate himself or to expose him to any penalty, forfeiture, or ecclesiastical cen sure.is obvious ; and as the Act simply makes p a rt ies witnesses, obvious that, without any special enactment, they might have claimed the same protection as all other persons under examination. But, how stands the matter now ? The Act states that they cannot be forced to criminate themselves. Good ; but can they be compelled to disclose what will render them liable to penalties, forfeitures, or spiritual reprimands ? Is the maxim, " ezpressuni facit cessare taciturn," to apply, or can the party give the go-by to the statute, and rest on the common law ? The Lord Chancellor, aided by his new lieutenants, the Lords Justices of Appeal, will probably, ere long, have to settle this knotty point, and we shall be anxi ous to see whether his judicial and legislative opinions coincide. The second exception, which still leaves defendants in our criminal courts, and parties charged before magistrates with minor otTeuces, incompetent to testify on oath either for or against themselves, is certainly a prudent, and, fur the present at least, pro bably a wise provision ; although we are well aware that many sensible men, and among others the Re corder of London, entertain a different opinion. The third exception, which relates to married people, has been misunderstood by more than one writer on the subject, and it has been suggested that this exception, when read in connexion with the second section, raises a doubt, by implication, whether, in civil suits, wives are not rendered by the Act admissible wit nesses either for or against their husbands. In reality, however, no doubt exists. It was certainly in tended, in the first instance, that wives should be made competent witnesses, and a clause to that effect was embodied in the Bill ; but this provision, though sanctioned by the Commons, met with so strenuous an opposition in the Lords that it was withdrawn at the last moment. The Act, therefore, finally passed in a form which left the law of husband and wife precisely where they found it— excepting only in those few cases where both of them are either parties to the record, or persons on whose behalf an action, suit, or other proceeding is brought or defended. Whenever this state of things occurs, the wife, as a party, or an interested person, may, under the express terms of the second section, give evidence for or against her husband, and the hus band, in like manner, may give evidence for or against his wife ; and it was merely because a married couple occasionally find themselves aisle by side in a dock—being both of them parties to the same indictment —that the exception which pro hibits them from testifying, under these circum stances, for or against each other, was retained in the Act, although the general enactment respect ing husbands and wives was struck out. had it not been for this exception, a wife, conjointly indicted with her husband for murder, might have been called by the prosecutor to establish the man's guilt, and the man might have been examined by the counsel for the defence to prove the woman's innocence. The wide distinction established by the Act between those wives who are parties to the record, and those who are not, will doubtless call into play much profes sional maneeuv ring in that class of cases, well known to lawyers, in which it is optional with the plaintiff whether the wife be joined with the husband, or whether the action be brought by or against him alone. If the lady's testimony be required by the plaintiff she will be made a party; if her evidence be inconvenient, her name will be omitted from the record. The clause which excludes from the operation of the Act all proceedings insti tuted in consequence of adultry, and all actions for breach of promise of marriage, was obviously dedicated by feelings of deli cacy ; and, although it may be questionable whether such feelings ought to interfere a ith the as certainment of truth and the administration of justice, few people will feel inclined to quarrel with the ex ception on that ground. It has been objected to this clause, that by using the words " nothing herein con tained," instead of " nothing hereinbefore contained," the exception is made to extend the whole Act, and out merely to the second section. This is no doubt true, but the objection founded upon it is somewhat hypercritical, as it is difficult to discover any section in the statute, except the second, which could by pos sibility apply to either of the proceedings excluded. We have hitherto been content to comment upon the Act as it will affect the practice of our courts of law and equity ; but they who wish thoroughly . to appreciate the extent of the alterations made by its first five sections, will do well to contemplate their bearing on proceedings instituted befor our eccle siastical tribunals. To those who have not con sidered the subject in this light, it will perhaps scarcely have ,occurred, that, henceforth, in all suits of nullity of marriage, whether founded on impotence or on prior nuptials ; in all suits for;divorce by reason of cruelty ; and in all suits for jactitation of mar riage, or for restitution of conjugal rights, the respec tive husbands and wives, w hether de jure or decto will be competent or compellable, as parties t o the suit, to be examined as witnesses on either side. Yet, such beyond all dispute the operation of the Act, and is we rejoice that it is so. Again, we suspect that it is not at present so generally known . as it ought to be, that, in every penal proceeding which may here after be instituted in the Ecclesiastical Courts—as, for instance, if the office of the judge be promoted against a clergyman for immora.l co.nduc.t—the deifenlf d int will be competent to testify in his own be , and may even be subjected to exainationhe will not be the part of the prosecutor . It may be true that co mpellable to answ er any question ex compellable .s t e nding to . pose him to conviction, though this is a tter whic , as we have before observed, is by no m a ttes . clear , but should he rely on this legal protection, .and d.e cline to answer, the necessary inference against him , raised by such conduct will indeed be st . ron . g. W e doubt whether the this distinction between cr.pro ceedings in Eccl es i as tical Courts and th.oseiminal insti tuted at Common Law was present to the mind . s of all our legislators when the Bill was before Parliament ; but, however this may be, the Act can only bear the interpretation which we have put upon it. The second exception, as we have already stated, is confined to persons charged either with an indictable offence, or s itb on offence punis hable on summary conviction ; and it is quite clear that the offences over which the S p iritual Courts have cogn izance fall within neither of these two categories. If, however, this result was not contemplated by our lawgivers, we can only re gard it as a happy accident; for it will afford the most favourable opportunity for ascertaining how far the rule of law which closes the mouths of defendants in our Criminal Courts can be safely relaxed. We shall take an early opportunity of renewing our comments on the new Law of Evidence, and of drawing attention to the remaining sections of that remarkable Act. WINDSOR.—On Thursday her Majesty honoured Mr. 11. C. Selous with a first sitting of upwards of an hour's duration for his picture of the Inauguration of the Great Exhibition of all Nations, which he is painting for the firm of Messrs. Lloyd, Brothers, and Co., with a view to publica tion. Last week his Loyal highness Prince Albert sat on several occasions, to the same artist, for that important his torical work. During this week his Royal highness the Prince of Wales and the Princess Royal conferred the same honour on the distinguished artist. THE NEW LAW or EVIDENCE ACT.—To-day (Saturday) the New Law of Evidence Act comes into force. In all courts in the United Kingdom, with the exception of Scotland, plaintiffs and defendants are now competent and compellable witnesses. In the ensuing term the principle will be carried out, and the operation of the Act anxiously watched. The words of the statute are very comprehensive. On the trial of any issue joined, or of any matter or ques tion, or in any inquiry arising in any suit, action, or other proceeding in any court of justice, or before any person having by law or by consent of parties, authority to hear, receive, and examine evidence; the parties thereto and the persons in whose behalf any such suit, action or other pro ceedings may be brought or defended, shall, except as herein after excepted. be competent and compellable to give evi dence, either viva voce or by deposition, according to the practice of the court, on behalf of either or any of the parties to the said suit , a ction, or other proceedings.' The excep tion is in criminal cases, and to proceedings instituted in con st ( pence of adultery, end to any action for breach of promise of Ft , ar riage. In alt other actions—assault, slander, &c., the parties can be examined, as well as in matters relating to bill discounting. The Act extends the admission of documentary evidence. More than ordinary interest will be attached to the trials in the superior courts in next term, commencing on Monday.

Financiel affairs were assumiug a more healthy appearance, and prospects were brightening through out the country. The Spat ish Government has sent a special envoy to Washington. The Au.: York Times on this sub ject says:— " There is a great deal of speculation afloat about the probable upshot of the special Spanish Envoy's visit to Washington. All that appears to be known is that such a messenger is on his way thither ; that he goes backed up with a subscription paper bearing the signatures and counter-signatures of Victoria R., Paltner,ton, and Louis Napoleon ; that a guarantee of the independence of Cuba is to be demanded ; and that Mr. Webster will have the handling of the man and the matter. The impression is prevalent that Chevalier Halsemann is likely to have a s mpathizing campanien in lila mortifying dlOntualic twer tll7 " 3 * I It would not be the first time that Spain and Austria nave tuletl-r fur COOIIOOII &iv:A . - Say Alia conlilltin contenipt. rm. 1100, Of 114 , — burg was wont to tn,v: a family reeling iu :•uch ea - rnities." We have advices from Chagres to the 9th of Sep • temberf and, in reference to the Panama railway, it is stated that— " The connexion of the Panama Railroad to Gatun was to take place on Friday, October 10, or Saturday, the 11th, as, at the time of the sailing of the Illinois there remained only 400 feet to be filled in, and they were making that distance daily. The engineers confidently expect to have the rock laid, and run the locomotive through to Gatun, on Saturday, the 12th inst. The absence of the usual amount of rain has enabled them to push the road through with dispatch. "We understand that the whole of the force will now be put on the line above Gatun, in order to finish to Gorgona as soon as possible. Among the passengers per Illinois are seven persons, who have made at the mines 100,000 dollars." Fresh robberies had taken place on the Isthmus of Panama, and one of the. New York papers contains the following : " The great specie train of the Pacific Mail Steam ship Company was robbed on Saturday, after leaving Panama, seven miles on the way. The news flew like electricity through Panama, and merchants, officers, and soldiers, forthwith started in hot pursuit. "After riding seven miles, Captain Garrison and his friends came up with the train, and found it in the wildest confusion. Three of the guard had been shot by the robbers, and were lying on the road side. Two were found dying, shot in breast, and the other badly wounded. " The robbers had made off with one box of gold dust, but, delayed by the heavy box, the pursuers soon overhauled them, when they abandoned the box and fled. Two of the robbers were captured. " Thomas Summers, from New York city, was one of them. A rope was put about his neck, and Lynch law was making the last of him; when be begged for his life, and promised to tell all if they would not hang him, when he did tell the whole story and all the persons engaged with him. " Another party of the pursuers overtook Charles Cromwell, an intelligent coloured gentleman from New York. He too begged hard for his life, and they spared him after he made full confessions, but not until he had been half hung some ten minutes. " Two other persons captured were Dr. Berry, of New Orleans, and Laban Manning, of Illinois. There are also in prison, Dr. Burt, or Burk, one Mireraud and one Degnant, residence unknown. There are five here still at large, but who, it is said, cannot escape. " The robbers had been informed, and believed, that the specie train had in it 2,000,000 dollars. " One of the guard shot, died in a short time. Thirty-six buckshot, it is said, were taken from his body." The news brought by the Illinois furnished some important information regarding, the whaling fleets. It is as follows : " The following vessels are reported as being totally lost this season : " The Ajax, of Havre ; total loss. " The Aramatta, of New London ; total loss. " The Henry Thompson, of New London ; total loss. " The Arabella, of New Bedford ; total loss. " The New Bedford, of New Bedford ; total loss. " The America, of New Bedford ; total loss. " The Cosmopolite, of France ; total loss. " The Mary Mitchell, of San Francisco ; total loss. " It appears that the whole whaling fleet had win tered in the Gulf of Anadir, in the northern part of the sea of Kamchatka, in Russia in Asia, and, on the coming on of spring, had set sail for Behring's Straits, but, in attempting to pass through into the Arctic Ocean, the fleet was environed by ice, and the above named vessels were totally wrecked. " The crews of the destroyed vessels are reported to have reached the main land in safety ; but it is said that in some disturbances afterwards with the natives, 11 of the whalemen lost their lives. " The John Wells is stated to have bottle evidence cf the severe navigation she had encountered. Her spars were nearly all gone, her bull more or less damaged, and she had scarcely is sheet of copper upon her. " (The John Wells was the first whaler ever sent from Newark.) " It was supposed that some sixty more vessels had shared the fate of those mentioned above, and it was quite impossible to tell how many more would be likely to be lost in their attempts to escape from the ice. " The general result of this season's whale fishing is set down as a total failure. The following vessels have done nothing:— " Ship John Wells, clean this season. " Ship Neptune, New London, clean this season, August 1. " Ship Magnolia, New Bedford, clean this season, August 1. It Ship A. H. Howland, clean this season, Aug. 1. " Ship Vinegard, Martha's V., 450 sperm., clean this season. " The whole fleet is believed to have done little if any better. w:be lt heve) are now isthoughtthat wtheendwihnog their way (some 600 sail, as possible to the north-west coast, for the th as e purpose rapidly of refitting and endeavouring to retrieve their ill for tunes."

Some valuable information has been der ived from the Exhibition oc cupations of the people. There now remains in the building not more than census re turns, and 500 or GOO British exhibitors, but the foreigners have made comparatively slow progress in their arrange ments for departure, and many of them seem reluc tant to leave. Others, however, are distinguished fur their alacrity ill this respect, and it is an honour able characteristic of the Swiss and the Tunisians especially that they Lave been more prompt both in their arrival and in their departure than any other country.

COURSING. MARKET WEIGUTON MEETING, OCT. 28 TO 31. NOVEMBER 1, lB5l. ASYLUM FOB 11)101'..4 Then:day the ki u ,!, Da; electiO.. e! peas i this asylum took place at the London Tavern. Toe unfortunate and pitiable ohjt ces who were deemed eligible to become candidates numbered 164, out of which only 15 could be elected. Sir G. CARROLL, on taking the chair, expressed his gratification that the institution was gradually pro gressing, and that year by year it was enabled to open its doors to those afflicted creatures, whose health, comfort, and, if possible, restoration to reason, it made its special care. He was convinced that there was a large number of benevolent individuals who only required to have their attention drawn to this good charity to induce them to support it to the ut most. There were now two large asylums in con nexion with the charity, which required great care and unwearied attention—almost every separate case involving the necessity of a distinct treatment. lie wished the public would visit those institutions, and see the improvement that they were enabled to effect in the condition of the hitherto helpless idiot. It had come to his knowledge only that day that one of the parents who had gone down to the asylum at Colchester a short time since, and who had not seen his sun for 12 months before, actually did not know his own child, so great was the improvement. He appealed to the press for assistance, the press which was ever ready to give its kind countenance to any institution which deserved the support and sympathy of the public. The great want which the society now experienced was a large establishment where they could classify a great number of patients, for which purpose 10,0001. was required. It seemed a large sum of money, but it was nothing compared to the large charities with which the metropolis abounded, and which were so liberally aided by private benevolence. Dr. REED read the annual report. It was an ex tremely interesting document, but many of the details which might engross the philanthropist we must ne cessarily omit. There was at present in the institu tion 180 patients, which, with the 15 to be elected, would make 195. Physical training had the first place among them ; and all the arrangements for bathing, shampooing, and gymnastic exercises, had been improved. In the schools there were classes for reading, writing, figures, natural and scripture his tory, singing, drawing, and music ; and, besides these, there were classes of gardeners, carpenters, shoemakers, basketmakers, knitters, and netters. On the subject of the success which had attended the operations of the society (and with regard to which, at its forma tion, grave doubts were entertained), the report stated that among those originally placed under the care of the board from the commencement, three years ago, there had been 25 unable to walk, 114 un able to teed, dress, or take care of their persons, 20 epileptic, 12 paralyzed, 68 dumb, and 25 under nine years of uge, all subjects of physical infirmity and mental imbecility. So helpless and unpromising a family had perhaps never before been brought toge ther. Of these 6 had been taught to walk, and 14 much improved in the use of their limbs, 27 who had been dumb or made strange and unmeaning noises were getting the use of articulate sounds and begin ning to speak; 48 had been taught to feed and dress themselves, and to observe cleanly habits; 23 had been taught to read, 27 to write, 11 to cipher, 1G to draw. Some were taught music, nearly all singing, and most of them were in the drilling or gymnastic classes; 90 could attend with propriety on domestic, and about 50 on public worship, and had pleasure in doing so. Order had been established, good habits had been formed, and there were health and happi ness among them. " May not then," concluded the report, " the movement, as one of experiment, be considered as complete ? and may it not from this day be pursued as one of clear certainty, unquestionable duty, and national importance ?" A long report was appended from Drs. Conolly and Little, and Mr. Callaway, M.R C S., the medical offi cers of the institution. Without committing them selves to any very strong expression of their impres sions and feelings, they gave utterance to their perfect satisfaction at the progress of this " great att:impt," and their lively belief; founded on careful observa tions, that the grand design of the founders would be eventually and completely fulfilled. The receipts of the year for general purposes had amounted to 8,104/. 73. 41., and the expendidure 7,449/. 14e, leaving a balance of 6541. 133. 41. The receipts toward the building fund had been 2,3291., of which 1,5001. had been invested, and 6401 remained in the treasurer's hands. The election then commenced, and terminated at 3 o'clock, when the names of the successful candidates were announced. BLOOMERISIVI. (From the Morning Chronicle.) The Bloomer ladies generally have no right to com plain of the ill success of their agitation, for they have challenged public criticism in that way which, in England, we have not yet learned to think other than offensive. Lady lecturers are rare in Europe ; and when they take up subjects verging on critical mat ters, a greater amount of decorum, modesty, and dis cretion is demanded than has been presented to us at Miss Kelly's Theatre, or in the Holborn Hall. At present Mrs. Foster is an exception to her sect, but even in her clever management the crucial experiment was fatal. To have seen a Bloomer settles Bloomerism. It is not the trivial witticism about the wife wear. ing the breeches, nor the unhappy suggestion of the George Sand and INLardeur school of morals, with which this dress has unfortunately been con meted, that will do all the mischief ; but the cos tume itself is its own condemnation. " Pillows under all arm-holes" are, perhaps, a female abomination — hat then they may plead precedent. They are as old as the Bible, at least in the English trans lation--" ten or fifteen pounds of petticoat round the body, and balloons in the sleeves," are neither grace ful nor reasonable we admit—" sixteen square yards of skirt" merely " depositing strata of thick black slosh on the ankles, and turning their wearer into a walking mop." is certainly a feature suggestive of nothing agreeable—and English fashion, which, with out Transatlantic prompting, has encased our females in shaggy paletUts with large pearl buttons, has, we allow, little ground to object to the andro-gynous aspect of the "pettiloon" or " pantalette." Nor in deed can any of us, with any show of propriety, ob ject to the novelty of a costume which, anyhow, every English girl under fourteen has worn this many a year. But all these objections to every existing fashion fail utterly in demonstrating the propriety of the new one. We do not pretend to have been initiated in the greater mysteries of the gynaceunz ; and we therefore content ourselves with an American lady's criticism on the Bloomer costume, which we cite with the more satisfaction as it is ex- pressed in that rich vernacular, which so graphically exceeds the powers of any masculine pen. "If " and the dilemma is to us insuperable--" if," says Airs. Jane Swi‘shelm, " the trowsera are loose at the ankle, they goflip-fiap ; if gathered to a band and falling over in a putf, they go slip-slap as one walks. If there is a ruffle to fall down on the top of the foot, it gets in the mud, and is as ugly as the longest skirt. If it is drawn up to be convenient, as much of the foot and ankle is exposed as need be in a moderately short skirt. Then the trowsers, all of them, give a general appearance of dropsical legs." An Aristotelian .:;orit(s of dilemmas—" either flip-flap or slip-slap; the division is exhaustive : there is no tertium quo!. If long, dirty ; if short, immodest, and a common nature, dropsical-looking, in all cases. Is not this enough to condemn Bloomerism pure and simple? Swisshelm helps us to another illustration. ln stooping far enough to lift a thimble"—but o ur American ally is here again more gra phic than we wish to be. Only let our readers imagine how a stooping Venus would look, simply braceata et tunicata, with the natural rise and fall of a " vent" which, in its standing position, is only to reach "two inclus below the knee"—tho regulation cut —and then let us idealise the modesty of a Bloomer female "visibly trowsered to the waist !" And so as to another class of objections we admit their force, but they do not prove Bloomerism. Fite hundred wrongs do not make a right. It may be quite true that one absurdity involves another, and that the quantity of petticoats—we beg pardon, " underskirts"—is in some mathematical proportion to the square of their density and volume. In other words, that one petticoat, like one f oo l, ma k es man y, and that crinoline is like a zoophyte, self-propagating —or, to phrase it differently, th a t w h en a woman getsinside a quilted balloon of the present mode, or a tub constructed of horsehair cordage, catgut, cane, and whalebone of a past fashion, she wants clothing to protect her from her c l o th es . B u t, we repeat, admitting the absurdity o f a ll thi s , th ere is some intermediate stage where t as t e ma y b e f oun d between this style of dress, which the Bloomers so effectively demolish, and what has been called the " forked PRICES OF SHARES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK.
