UhV 17'ED S MAGAZINE. In addition to the papers on " The Kafirs and the Kafir War," to which we have already had occasion to refer, the present number of the United Service contains an additional chapter of Mr. Horace St. John's admirable " History of the British Conquests in India," a paper suggesting various alterations in the costume and arms of the infantry soldier, by Colonel Napier, a continuation of Mr. Snigsby's " Yacht Voyage," and a number of other interesting papers. A ItT JOURNAL. The present is a double number, and is profusely illustrated. We have an engraving by Cousen of Stothard's Fête Champetre, from the Vernon Gallery, an engraving by Richardson of Louther bourg's Lakes in Cuinberland, also in the Vernon Gallery, a beautiful engraving of Wichmann's statue of The Toilet, and a scene from the ballet of the Isle des Amours, at her Majesty's Theatre. The Art Journal gives high and deserved praise to Mr Lumley for the exquisite artistic feeling which has been of late displayed in the nase en scene of the operas and ballets at her Majesty's 'Theatre. In speaking of the grand scene in the Market place at Memphis in ll Prodi go, the writer says that, "it composed a tableau such as has never yet been seen on any stage, and should be seen by every lover of the fine arts, to whom magnificence and grandeur form the culmi nating point of enjoyment." SHARPE'S LOIVDON MAGAZINE. A biography of Robert South, " A Visit to the Catacombs in Rome," and the continuation of " Lewis Arundel," constitute the principal features in the present number of this good and cheap periodical. It contains, moreover, two excellent engravings— " The Italian Peasant Girl," from Pickersgill's pic ture, and "The Small Deer of Ceylon," from a painting by Daniell. THE BRITISH GAZETTEER. The twenty-ninth Part of this admirable lation has just been published. It is embeA2iished with a view of the Railway Swing Bridge at Folke stone Harbour, one of the best engravings that has appeared among many excellent illustrations. MISCELLANEOUS. The Colonial Magazine still maintains its ground as the organ par excellence of our colonial interest ; the opening paper on the lonian Isles will be read with interest at the present moment. In the Nautical Maga zine we have an account of avisit to Labuan, which we commend to the especial attention of those who have of late busied themselves in maligning Sir James Brooke. They will there find that their pets and proteges are not quite so innocent as they would have us believe, unless, indeed, the murder of 100 unoffending persons in cold blood, only because they were the open and avowed enemies of piracy, be con sidered by our ands des Noirs as innocent amusement. The keen air of Mont Blanc has sharpened the wits of Albert Smith; The Month for September is much smarter than its predecessor. The Parlour Magazine gives a vast quantity of interesting reading at a cheap rate. Sharpe and Chambers still maintain their high character. Charles Lever continues The Daltons with infinite spirit ; the present is an admirable number. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Mrs. Fitzwilliam is the Grandmother Grizzle, who gives the name to the new piece brought out at this theatre last night. The old lady, who has passed her 80th year, has the extremest notion of decorum, and she resolves that the wedding-day of her grand daughter with the silly old baronet whom she has selected for her shall be celebrated with the most careful and unexceptionable propriety. She produces a bottle of wine, the remnant of the bin which exhi larated her husband on the occasion of her own nup tials more than half a century before, and pledges the company all round; and the little old lady, in the fulness of her potations, gets fairly fuddled, and laughs and chirrups till she exhausts herself with her exertions. We easily infer from her name that she is habitually cross, peevish, and tyrannical, and we see that she is aggravatingly parsimonious ; but the fumes of the venerable liquor accomplish her cure, and, like the ungenial Scrooge in Dickens's Christmas story, she awakens to a more kindly state of huma nity. She lets her grand-daughter marry the mid shipman she prefers, dismisses the baronet with contempt, and is disposed to make everybody about her happy. Grandmother Grizzle, in fact, astonishes us all by her amiabilities, brought about, as her lacquey Phil has it, by " generous living ;" and the audience more or less applaud when she sermonises a wholesome tag at the end. Mrs. Fitzwilliam did all this very well. She mimicked the decre pitude of age with her accustomed versatility, and though the garrulity of the old lady was rather tiresome, the spectators fully appreciated the indus• trious accuracy of the acting, and the shrill infirmity of the accents. But this was not v.ll that Mrs. Fitz william did. She intervened another character — that of a rude schoolboy, a second grandson, who, red-hot from school, enters the house with mad• cap audacity, and plays pranks which certainly no police man would forgive. We preferred the querrulous Grizzle, and infinitely more so when she appears in the new-found clothing of heartiness and benevolence. But what is to be said of Phil Fuddle (Backstone), the aforesaid lacquey, who finds his own ale, and gets drunk thereun ; whose speech is a chaos of disjunc tions and non-sequiturs, and who sadly wants fifty pounds, in order to marry the widow Biddies, who keeps the Three Jolly Sandboys ? We are afraid the sympa'hies of the audience last night went wholly with Phil Fuddle ; and that the tipsey comicalities of this worthy saved the farce there cannot be a shadow of doubt. Grandmother Grizzle is an adaptation by Mr. Buckstone himself, from a vaudeville called La Douairi&e do Brionne. SCENE IN A BAPTIST CHAPEL. At the Cambridgeshire petty sessions, on Saturday last, a man named Dowman was charged with illegally disturbing the congregation of a Baptist chapel in the village of Coton (about three miles from Cambridge). It would seem that the congregation of the chapel are not celebrated for their erudition, and in a public-house on the East-road, Cambridge, a conversation arose over some potations as to how easily they could be duped, and eventually it was agreed between some parties whose ❑ames were freely stated, that an imposition should be attempted, and several wagers were laid upon the re,uit. It was arranged that Dowman, who is a travelling hawker from Colchester, and who was considered the best hand at recitation, should personate a Bap tist minister, and he being dressed for the part and put on large spectacles to prevent recognition, pro ceeded to Coton with his confederates, on the 18th of May, introducing himself to the deacon, and presented a letter (with a fictitious signa ture), saying that he was engaged in preaching and collecting on behalf of a missionary society. Eventually the appointed preacher made way for him, and he ascended the pulpit, gave out a hymn, engaged in prayer, and then taking his text, Ezekiel, c. ix., v. 33, proceeded to read sundry passages from a printed book, which turned out to be Baxter's" Saint's Rest." The congregation being used to extempore discourses, evinced symptoms of disapprobation, and at last the mock preacher fairly broke down, entreating the audi ence to excuse him, as he was not in the habit of ad dressing such large congregations. Mr. Bradfield, the regular preacher, then rose and cautioned his congrega tion not to part with any money, as ho knew nothing of the party who had addressed them. This spark caused an explosion, the storm burst, and the term " impostor" resounded o❑ all sides, and Dowman had to make his escape to a fly, in which his confederates were waiting for him. Dowman was met in Cambridge next day by Mr. Bradfield, and having been identified this process was eventually issued. The magistrates sentenced Dow man (who let judgment go by default) to pay a fine of 101. and the costs, which was made up among the con federates who had planned this ill-timed joke. DEATH OF SIR THOMAS PELHAM HAYES, BART. — This gentleman died on the sth instant, at Dieppe, in the 57th year of his age. He was son of the first baronet, by the eldest daughter of Henry White, Eeq., of New York. Sir Thomas was for many years connected with the civil department of the East India Company on the Bengal esta blishment, and filled several important offices of trust. He returned home from In, is in 1823. The first baronet was physician to the forces during the American war. The title was created in 1797, the deceased having succeeded his fa ther in 1809. Sir Thomas married, 1840, the relict of Lieu tenant-Colonel Hill Dickson. He is succeeded by his brother, the Rev. John Warren, born 1799. VOLCANIC ERUPTIONS IN THE WEST INDIES..—The last West India mail has brought detailed accounts of the recent volcanic eruptions in the island of Martinique, whose violence has caused so much alarm to the inhabitants of St. Pierre, and peasant population of the neighbouring parishes. It appears that the Montagne I'elee, the seat of the new vol cano, has long been conspicuous for its formation, which marks it as an extinct crater, and for its springs of hot sul phuretted water. In July last these springs were observed to emit a powerful smell of sulphur. Large quantities of hot water and mud were ejected by some internal convulsion, until, on the 6th of August, about midnight, a violent erup tion took place. A rumbling noise, similar to the rapid ap proach of large masses of cavalry, alarmed the inhabitants of the villages around the Montagne Pelee; and, on their rushing into the open air to save themselves from the effects of what they believed to be an earthquake, they saw three colums of a whitish vapour rising from the top of the moun tain. It appears that the mountain movements and subter ranean explosions did no mischief whatever beyond forcing up the coatings of the old crater of the Montagne Pelee, when the soil was thrown up, burnt, and impregnated with sulphur, very much in the way in which it would have been defaced by the springing of a mine. When the mail left the crater was still open, and continued to exhale poisonous (i. e., sulphuretted) gases. WE ALL HAVE OUR HOBBIES.—The philosophical world, being rather addicted to the dreamy, has only just woke up to a knowledge of the agitation that has prevailed on the great Lock question. We understand, however, that the subject will be thoroughly investigated, and that the next number of the " Philosophical Transactions" will con tain a very profound treatise on the relative merits of the philosophy of Lock and Hobbs.—Punch. THE FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE BUCKINGHAM SHIRE Ramwev.---The inquest on the persons killed by this accident on Saturday was resumed yesterday at Bicester, and again adjourned. f.""!! LO DON, SALE OF THE OLD HOUSE OF COMMONS. Yesterday Messrs. Eversfield and Horne accom plished a feat in the House of Commons more re markable than even" Old Noll's " most remarkable one. Oliver desired his myrmidons to take away " that bauble," meaning the mace ; the worthy auc tioneers removed by their functionaries all the practical and substantial parts of the legislative establishment. From an early hour of the day all sorts of humbler members of the building trade assembled in the House, taking notes of lots where debaters took notes of speeches, and flitting about the haunts of power in paper caps. As to the sentiment of the occasion, it found little room to play in the breasts of the honest yeomen gathered there, every one of whom had a pencil in his hand, and a purchase in his eye, with all his thoughts concentrated not upon history, but upon the price of bricks. Towards noon, however, things altered a little, but not much for the better. A clergyman or two dropped in after service at the Abbey, and a few foreigners followed in the rear. But with them came a horde of spectators, with nothing particular to do, save occasionally to throw in a joke fur the enlivenment of the pro ceedings. The worthies began, of course, with un conscious plagiarism upon Mr. O'Connor's favourite practical witticism, and, in the absence of the Speaker, imitated that gentleman, if not to perfection, at least to their own complete sati,faction and content. They then made, ostensibly for their friends, but obviously for the public, comic historical allusions, some of them referring to periods at least as remote as the imprison ment of Smith O'Brien, and expressed audibly a wish that " Bellamy's" had not been dismantled, and that chops might be had on the premises. All this, too, in a house dreary as dismantlement could make it, with bills posted here and there upon its walls, with every thing, even to the clocks, taken out of it, and no thing, save the canopy over the Speaker's chair, that either looked like the comfort of furniture, or could furbish up recollections of the past. But at length Mr. Horne, the auctioneer, arrived, and immediately business began, with a silence, if not with a solem nity, worthy of the place. The chair, as we have said, was gone, but into its place the rostrum was introduced, whence the orator was to stimu late the jobbers around him into an eager competition. He commenced, as auctioneers always do, with a joke, observing that he was about to do what was unprecedented in Parliament—for that, though Speaker, he really should have a great deal of speaking. The first of the materials and fittings to be sold belonged to the stone building, at the corner of St. Margaret-street ; the first lot put up was " The slates and York coping on the roof;" the first bid was half-a-guinea, and the first " knock down," was thirty shillings. The next lot, described as " the lead gutters ridges, flushings, and rain-water pipe to lower building," went for 361., and then the bidding improved—cisterns, and every thing of lead, seeming to be particularly in request. For the kitchen range on the second floor, with its various appurtenances, only 41. was originally offered, but it went at last for 71. 155., whilst the board and timber floor of the kitchen, scullery, and passage brought 121.55. The sums proposed and accepted for some lots were infinitely less than this, several of the minor ones going for 10s. 6d., and 12s. only given for a pair of green-'baited folding-doors, with barrel springs and brass guards, belonging to the temporary back building. Others, again, realized much larger amounts, exciting much emulation among the speculators, and exercising all the tact of the auctioneer. For instance, the bricks and internal stonework of the building at the corner of St. Mar garet-street, with the buildings at the rear, &c., a lot for which 25/. was the preliminary offer, was finally knocked down for 65/. ; roof timbers, boards, paving, joists, girders, doors, sashes, slates, zinc pipes, and other materials of the various offices of the house, were next disposed of in great profusion, at sums which appeared to be generally recognised as about propor tionate to their market value, now a little above, and now a little below, but never very wide of the mark. The result was, that at the close of his labours, Mr. Horne had noted down 9021. as the income of what will probably be his least profitable day. This Morning he has to recommend goods more attractive than yes terday's, and possessing an interest as relics far be yond what attaches to them as mere builders' ma terials. As yet he has been at the offices and out- works. The House of Commons itself comes under the hammer to-day ; slates, rafters, roof and flooring, all to be unreservedly sold. The wainscot canopy for the Speaker's chair, the seats appropriated to the fourth estate, the materials of the strangers' gallery, the bricks and stonework of the whole house, are " going," and must, by night, be all ,but literally " gone."—Chronicle. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. The receipts at the doors yesterday amounted to 2,395/..55. 6d., and, strange to say, the sale of season tickets produced 51. According to the police report, 50,106 persons visited the building. Among these were 400 mechanics and labourers from Wilton, sent by Mr. Sidney Herbert from his estate, the clergy man of the place, and others. Of that number 120 were from the carpet manufactory of Messrs. Black more, Brothers. They were chiefly girls, and many of them had been employed in making the great Windsor carpet exhibited by Prince Albert. Their expenses were defrayed by the Messrs. Blackmore, and by Messrs. - Watson, Bell, and Co., or Bond-street. The children at Wilton-park, and the National, Free, and Union Workhouse Schools were also included in this benevolent pleasure trip. The council of the Society of Arts offers medals and handsome money premiums for the best and se cond-best treatises they may receive on the objects exhibited in each of the four sections of raw produce, machinery, manufactures, and fine arts. They also propose for competition a general essay on the Exhi bition, considered commercially, politically, and sta tistically. The:successful works are to be the property of the society, and the council, if they see fit, will publish them, awarding to the authors the net amount of profit that may arise on their sale after deducting expenses. The rewards offered in each case—are for the best treatise a large medal with 251., and for the second-best a small medal and 101. Each essay is to occupy as nearly as possible 80 pages of the size of the Bridgewater Treatises. COURT CIRCULAR. BALMORAL, TUESDAY, SEPT. 9. Her Majesty drove yesterday to the Pass of Bal lator, accompanied by the Princess Royal and Prin cess Alice. His Royal Highness Prince Albert went out deer stalking. There was no addition to the Royal dinner party. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office from the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope Dispatches were also received from the Governors o Sierra Leone and the Gambia. DEATH OF LORD RIVERSTON.—Lord Riverston died at his residence, Flower-hill, county Galway, on Satur last. A correspondent of the Evening Post says :—" This peerage was granted by James IL, when he was fighting in Ireland for his Crown, but was not acknowledged by the English Government. Lord Riverston was heir presumptive to the Earldom of Westmeath; he leaves two sons." THE TROOPS FUR THE CAPE.—Her Majesty's steam-ships Retribution, Captain Warde, and Sidon, Com mander Gardner, with troops for the Cape of Good Hope, ar rived at Bahia for water and coals, and left August 21, for their destination, which they have most probably reached by this time. SNOW IN AUGUST.—Upon the morning of Friday, the 29th, the mountains of Benalder, Beneven, and Geal cairn, in Inverness-shire, presented a singular phenomenon, being covered with a thick coat of snow, not only on their lofty summits, but also half down their furrowed and rugged sides, whilst the famed Shechaillion and other mountains of Perthshire, within view, were quite free of it ; and even Ben Nevis and the loftiest summit of the Gruagaichean, only se cond to Ben Nevis itself in height, were free of any fresh snow.—Scotch Paper. REPAIR OF LAMBETH PALACE.—A correspondent of the Builder says—l beg to call your attention to some work which is now being proceeded with at Lambeth—l allude to the repair of the gateway of Lambeth Palace. Some time since, the western tower was repaired, and the eastern is now undergoing that process. The building was originally ornamented with coloured bricks forming different devices on the face of the building, but I am sorry to say that the greater portion of these have now disappeared, for wherever the bricks have been decayed or removed new ones have been inserted, and this without any regard to ornament. I can scarcely believe that the Archbishop himself is aware of the fact, and I trust that you will, ere it is too late, say a word or two on the subject ; and if you are kind enough to do so, it may lead to a " restoration," which will be better than a repair, and this more especially as the new church adjoin ing is fast approaching completion. THE WIDOW OF THE ETTRICU SHEPHERD. — Everyone must be gratified with the mark of respect shown to the talents of our countryman, Professor Wilson, the ce lebrated Christopher North of Blackwood's Magazine, by the recent bestowal of a pension on him by her Majesty. It is not, however, generally known, that the widow of the Et trick Shepherd has but very slender means of support since s t iewrt h dri lisee d ita,t) e ueit a ricio t ttnh i o oera f f rorhtf h eed e ssro r :uicear h emehd u s b b a y n t d h , e a n e d x t p h e a n t s e t s h e c s o e m s e e q a u n e s n h t s u v p e o bee n t h i e ea i so s l s y o , bne en whicht,lhe a p t , sheyleiedr, income houasl dbeneont o rely, eul l yiat,tee andy earosf, inade quate for her comfortable support.

BLooMEElsM.—Yesterday, two ladies, attired in short black silk petticoats, reaching below the knee, loose grey silk trowsers fastened at the ankle, brow n cas h mere b o ots, with a short jacket ior the upper garment, over which was worn a i.carf, the head-dress being the bonnet usually worn by females, appeared in Piccadilly, Saint James's square, and vicinity , their unusual costume attracting consi derable curiosity. They had a number of small handbills, addressed to " mothers, wives, and daughters,"inviting them to the ranks of Dress Reform, and to join the Association of Bloomers, founded near Fitzroy-square (Literary Institution, John. street).

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF THIS DAY. TIMES.—The mode in w bich law reform in Eng land has for the most part been effected can hardly be deemed satisfactory by any class, whether lay or I learned. The hit-by-bit process appears, indeed, to cautious and timid persons, fora time, the safest and, therefore, the wisest system of change. The aggre gate of mischief, however, resulting from continued change, and its consequent uncertainty, must, even to the most hesitating reformers, seem an enormous evil—one which eventually may surpass the mischiefs produced by sweeping and systematic changes. Taking the first attempts of the late Sir Robert Peel as our starting-point, and coming down to the present hour, we find that something more than a quarter of a century has passed away while we have been attempting to improve the various branches of our old and entangled system of jurisprudence. We have in that time indeed changed the whole cha racter of our criminal law, rendering it perhaps the most mild instead of the most savage and sanguinary code in Europe. By degrees in this branch of law and of procedure common sense and an enlightened benevolence have usurped the place of cruel, unmean ing, and intricate technicalities ; the greatest possible security being attained for society at the least possible expense of pain to the criminals themselves and of anxiety to those by whom the law is administered. The comparatively simple nature of this portion of law has permitted us to attain, even by our slow pro cess, to this beneficial result, which in this one case amounts almost to completeness. But, turning our eyes to any other portion of our legal system—what a different scene do we behold ! For every part of the field of Equity we are without a map or compass. The old landmarks have been removed, and no one believes that those which have been placed in their stead can remain for a year as now established. In the minds of the most enlightened of our lawyers a grave doubt has arisen as to the wisdom; of the dis tinction between Equity and Law, and a very general belief is now entertained that, before many years have elapsed, the whole existing system of our Equity courts will be swept away, and one uniform procedure and one general class of courts, endowed with all the powers of Law and Equity, will be adopted for the whole kingdom. If this anticipation be correct, then have we as yet done nothing in the way of settling either the substantive law or that of procedure. We have indeed unsettled nearly everything; but, beyond creating confusion, we have hardly advanced a step. Such, as regards Equity, is the product of a quarter of a century's constant and unremitting toil and change. Again, in all that relates to the law of real property we seek in vain for certainty, or any settled and steady result. The old law, with its in tricate and tiresome and expensive modes of proceed ing, has long been utterly condemned. But though we are quite ready to condemn the old system we are utterly unprepared with a substitute. We are all quite apt at finding fault. We are ready and able to pull down, but we are without a creative mind capa ble of constructing a systematic and practical code in place of that we desire to discard. We are, there fore, ever busy at the labour of continuous tinkering.: We pull down a little bit—we build up a little bit. What was originally sufficiently incongruous we render still more confused, and at length we have arrived at this happy result—no one part of the building agrees with, or corresponds to any other. The learned and unlearned are alike at fault in this mighty maze of law, and the toss up of a halfpenny is a better guide than a learned coun sel's opinion, inasmuch as it is far cheaper, and quite as likely to be correct. In one thing, however—but in one thing alone—do we appear to have been con sistent and systematic. We have introduced the same degree of confusion into every portion of the law. The forms of procedure are not more settled than the law itself; and the courts which administer the law are equally in a state of transition. If to morrow all the proposals of the last common law commission were adopted, everybody would instinctively feel that these changes would be but the harbingers of still greater alterations. The work of to-day lasts but for to-day ; the unstable fabric is no sooner completed than it tot ters to its fall. Let us hear what one of our most active law reformers says on this head ; let us hear what Lord Brougham, who has done so much, says as to what yet remains to be done. The piquancy of the statement must be our excuse for not curtail ing it : " There are many further improvements in the sys tem, or in the practice of our jurisprudence, which the sense of the community at large may reasonably and usefully urge upon the Legislature; but it so happens that the present improvement comes from the experi ence of those engaged in administering the law, be cause others could not be so much informed of its necessity. The professional prejudices, there fore, which some have conceived against it appear wholly groundless. They should be reserved (but will probably be ineffectual to resist) attempts, which no doubt will soon be made to render courts of equity ac cessible to all, and grievous to none—to make common law procedure cheap, simple, and expeditious—to in crease the frequency of the superior judge's attendance in the country, whether for trying causes or prisoners —to improve the ancient inferior judicatures—to let the people know the criminal law they live under, and the procedure whereby they must be tried—to provide for its execution at the expense and on the responsi bility of the State, and not of those suffering by its in fraction. For these great measures the public voice will be general and loud, though it has not been raised for the changes recently effected. This reflection may com fort the friends of improvement ; not surely satisfying them as if enough had been gained; for well they know they must look back upon the past only to take courage and counsel —deriving frcm success the spirit to make new exertions, from experience the caution to make them safely ; but never deeming their mission ended until all its objects have been attained : ' Counting nought done, while ought remains to do.' " This is a gallant statement on the part of the veteran reformer, but assuredly the enumeration of the things yet to be accomplished, and the importance of the items thus set down, prove that what has been achieved is of little comparative moment when viewed in reference to its permanent results. Lord Broug ham, in enunciating the reforms which will be de manded by the people, and which have yet to be con ceded by the Legislature, goes in reality over the whole field of law. Iles mentions as the subjects of future reform, equity, and equity courts , the courts of common law, whether of superior or inferior juris diction, the whole system of common law procedure, the criminal law and its administration, tie promul gation of the law itself, and, lastly, the manner in which it is to be executed. Can we, after such an enumeration by such a man, be accused of exaggera tion when we say that we have indeed changed the law without having permanently reformed it ; that while we have attempted to improve, we hive been successful only in confusing it ; that, in short, we have had the will, but not the capacity of reformers ? Let no one fancy that because we say these things we are enemies of reform, or that we deprecate change. What we desire to insist upon is, that we have indulged in unsystematic and piecemeal reform long enough. To the profession we say, you can no longer successfully oppose a complete and sear hang change in the system of the law and its mode o. ad ministration. Whatever may be the conceptions you form as to the influence of change upon sour professional interests, the result will be the same; change is inevitable ; and, as far as yo . o are con cerned, a long agony of transition is the most serious calamity that can befall you. Yield then, we say, to the spirit of the times in which you live, snd act in accordance with, and not in opposition to the wishes of the community at large. They desire cheap law, and cheap law they will have. But cheapness is not the only quality needed. The ad ministration should be above suspicion, and the law itself certain, predetermined and easy to be known. But, to give it all these qualities, a comprehensive dealing with the whole system is ne cessary. The work of reform must not be allowed to linger on from year to year, creeping forward at a snail's pace, and precluding the possibility of cer tainty, and knowledge, by rendering change, which is in itself an enormous evil, almost unceasing. Law yers must really become law reformers ; see in an effective reform their chief hope of advantage, and attempt to benefit themselves as a class, by making the law what it ought to be—cheap, expeditious, pure, and certain. Hitherto, in spite of Lord Brougham's ambiguous praises of his brethren, the great opponents 'of law reform have been found in the legal profession. Their dogged oppo sition has compelled reformers to propose uncon nected and often incongruous alterations, every inch of the ground gained has been defended as if the very safety of the citadel of law was involved in the fate of every proposal. With the most desperate tenacity the legal body has clung to every antiquated and mis chievous technicality, and, when forced to yield, they have exhaled their rage and disappointment in direful vaticinations of mischief. We see the result of this most impolitic opposition. Will the acute and learned body to whom we now address our remarks not derive a lesson from experience ? Will they still allow blind and unreasoning prejudice to injure them selves as well as the community ? Will they not be patriotic, now that patriotism in the shape we point out will bring both honour and profit ? ADVERTISER. —Our readers will, we are sure, have shared the ineffable gratification with which we perused the vivid and feeling account which appeared in yesterday's paper, from our Paris correspondent, of the circumstances under which the liberation of Kossuth was to have taken place. We can only hope, which we do, though not without emotions of anxiety, that the illustrious Hungarian, on his liberation from his prison, was sufficiently protected by the Turkish authorities, to defeat the murderous purposes of Austria. Our Paris correpondent, to whose peculiar sources of information we have before had occasion to allude, confirms, it will be seen, what appeared in a leading article in our paper of Tuesday, respecting the conspiracy into which a band of Austrian ruf fians had entered, instigated by the gold of the Vien- I nese Government, to assassinate Kossuth before he could reach the asylum which an English vessel would afford him. The fact that our Paris correspondent and ourselves should at the same moment be making use of the same: information is presumptive proof of the accuracy of the communications made to us respect ing the attempt which would is 2 made by the minions of Austria to assassinate the distinguished Hungarian General. If the existence of this diabolical conspi racy was discovered in time we cannot doubt that the requisite measures were adopted sufficiently early to prevent the murderous plans of these Austrian miscreants from being carried into effect. Of this we are certain, that if Lord Palmerston was warned in time of the atrocious attempt which would be made, under Austrian inspiration, to take away the life of Kossuth, he would not lose a moment in adopting the necessary steps to protect his person from the dagger of the assassin ; and we have every reason to believe that information did reach the Noble Lord at the head of Foreign Affairs of what was intended towards the Hungarian General. Though, therefore, as we have before observed, we are not without uneasiness as to the safety of Kossuth, and will not be until we hear of his actual arrival on our shores, our hopes very largely prepond era t e over our f e ars. At all events, it is right that the English people should assume that the illustrious Hungarian will be among us in a week or two at the farthest. 'We bid our countrymen take it for granted that no mishap befel him on his way from his prison to the English steamer, which was waiting to receive him, in order that the necessary preparations may be made to give him such a welcome to our shores, as Englishmen can not fail to accord to such a man. We know that there beats not a bosom from one extremity of the land to the other which will not heave with joy when he first puts his foot on our shores ; and we know, moreover, that every subject of Queen Victoria within these realms is most eager to give expression to the boundless admiration which the character of this distinguished statesman, general, and patriot, is everywhere regarded. But we doubt whether anything like concerted preparation have been made to give him that national welcome which all are desirous to accord to him, and to which one so illustrious as a man, as a soldier, and as a lover of his country, is so well entitled. There will be, in a sense, two arrivals of Kossuth among us. First, there will be his landing at Southampton. There, we believe, all things are ready to greet his arrival in a manner worthy of the man and of the people—of Kossuth, and of the inhabitants of South ampton. The latter have done themselves great and enduring honour by the deep interest which they have shown in his fate ever since he became a prisoner in Turkey. They have not failed to keep his case constantly before Lord Palmerston and the public. Their profound sympathy with the illustrious pri soner has been something more than a mere senti ment. It has been embodied in action. It has been expressed again and again at public meetings. It has been made to assume the form of energetically worded memorials to the Foreign Secretary, praying that the most strenuous efforts which the Noble Lord could make might be made to procure the liberation of Kossuth. We are confident, therefore, that the interest taken in the Hungarian General by the people of Southampton, is too intense by far, not to have in sured, on their part, all the needful preparations to give to him one of the most hearty and enthusiastic welcomes ever accorded to an illustrious stranger landing on our shores. It is of London that we are afraid. We fear that no adequate preparations have been made in the metropolis for according to Kossuth such a reception as we know it is the wish of all he should meet with. A committee of gentlemen should be formed forthwith, to make the requisite arrange ments to greet Kossuth with a metropolitan welcome worthy of the man—worthy of the capital of the world—and worthy of the greatest country under the sun. It would be deeply to be deplored should Kossuth, through mere want of business habits among his admirers, be allowed to come into our midst without a grand demonstration of the feeling with which he is regarded in this country. We should like to see him brought in triumph into London, just as the Roman generals who had brilliantly distin guished themselves were brought: in triumph to Rome. Never did man better deserve the honour of a trium phant public entrance into a city which has always been distinguished for its fervent attachment to the principles of liberty, whether civil or religious. At any rate, we cannot doubt that the corporation of London will lose no time, after Kossuth's arrival in the metropolis, in inviting him to one of their most magnificent banquets in Guildhall. Never, we unhe sitatingly say, was that building appropriated to a more worthy purpose than it would be by the cor poration of the City making the Hungarian General their guest. But the City must not be allowed to have a monopoly in the matter. The metropolitan boroughs generally must also be permitted to lavish their at tentions and the expressions of their esteem on Kos suth. :Drury-lane, as the largest building in London, must be engaged for the purpose of treating him to one of the most splendid entertainments which can be provided on so large a scale. We are sure we need do not more than throw out these suggestions. They will meet with a cordial response in the public bosom. To suppose that they needed enforcement would be to do an injustice to our countrymen for which there could be no excuse. Thus far we have spoken of a me tropolitan demonstration in favour of Kossuth, as bear ing on himself alone. Its effects would not be limited to him. He would not be the only party who would feel it—others would feel it too, though in a very different way. He would be overwhelmed with emotions of gladness and gratitude—others would be overwhelmed with feelings of mortification and rage. What would be the feelings produced in the Court of Vienna by such demonstrations in favour of Kossuth may be safely left to those of our readers whose imaginations are lively and vigorous. There would he wailing and gnashing of teeth in that despotic Court. There would be no limit to its rage—no bounds to its mortification. Nor would the chagrin and the indignation be confined to Vienna. They would be shared by the Czar of Russia, and by every tyrant who sits on a continental throne. RAILWAY TRAFFIC RETURNS.

Sir,—As one of the four persons who aster tcle din Mr. Bell's balloon on Monday last, I should e e 'zeem it a favour to be allo we d t o l a y before the pal )iic a brief narrative of the circumstances attenckant tb ereon. I should not attempt to trespass on yi 'fur valuable space, had not a most incorrect and inco, es isff nt ac count of the accident appeared in nearly a ll tl le jour nals of Tuesday. The report I allude to s tat es that immediately after "an alteration was visi bit in the shape of the lower part of the balloon" the t ipver part of the machine collapsed, and goes on to sa3 r t, 'it Mr. Chambers, by some unexplained means, m ana,ged to place hi s arm over th e top. There is also something said about a pressure of " 151 b. to the squ are inch ;" which, considering the altitude we had atta fined when the accident occurred (nearly a mile) is sifnoly non sense. 'that really happened is as follow s :—We ascended steadily, and proceeded with t tioderate speed towards the river in a south-westerly oi irection. Mr. Chambers, the person who was permitte d by Mr. Bell to become the custodian pro tem. of th , lives of three persons, was busy waving flags and cutting away some comical figures of paper attached to the car, and I was admiring the wonderful panorae la be neath me, when I heard a report like that of a ne usket above my head, and immediately exclaimed that there was a rent in the balloon ; an assertion de nied by Mr. Chambers, who had got by this time among the netting, and ordered us to throw out ballast, notwithstanding which we descended % with frightful velocity—the houses, churches, and ii elds beneath us getting horribly nearer and nearer every second. Exclamations of " We're all right, we're sill right !" half hoping, half despairing, broke from us, followed by an awful cry from one of us at least of " It's all up with us !" Then, Sir, we three men in the car stared death in the face for some 40 seconds, while Chambers (an old man, but as brave as a lion) had cut the cords attaching the neck of the balloon to the hoop, the consequence of which was that the whole of the silk flew up to the top of the netting, and formed a parachute. We were then steady for a moment — then oscillated (a proof of comparative safety)—then went down, down again, with frightful force. Cer tain death was now before us; but not one of us lost presence of mind, though I had not the slightest hope of escape. Mr. Chambers was entirely calm and col lected. We cut away the grapnel, threw out more ballast (bags and all on my part), and descended with a concussion not nearly so severe as I expected in a market gardener's field. I fell on Mr. Gardiner, Mr. Chambers, jun., on me, three bags of b a ll ast on hi m , and the car over us all ; while " the pilot, who had weathered the storm," was thrown with considerable violence from among the cordage round the hoop where he had been standing. So much for the accident itself. The cause I think lies in a nutshell ; and I am loth to allude to it since it argues a want of prudence on the part of the per son who, by his presence of mind, saved our lives sub sequently. When we ascended, the neck of the bal loon was tied round with a silk handkerchief. On clearing the earth, the balloon ascended to a higher and much more rarified atmosphere ; the atmospheric pressure became less ; the gas expanded rapidly ; and the balloon burst. What lam stating I know to be true, and I do not state it without the sanction and advice of experienced aeronauts. A few words, Sir, in conclusion. lam a young man, and the feeling of curiosity which prompted me to ascend may perhaps find an excuse in my being an artist, and an enthusiast withal, in aerostation as a science. But I am too thankful for that Divine mercy which permits me to be here to-day, a living man and not a shattered corpse—l am too sensible of the mis chievous folly of which I and my brother balloonatics have been guilty, to let this opportunity pass without re cording my humble, but solemn protest against the whole system of ballooning as at present existing. If any beneficial result was to be looked for—if any sci entific ends were to be gained by balloon ascents, I should be silent; but it is madness and folly to permit any enthusiast or any charlatan who may be the pos sessor of a silk bag which he can afford to fill with coal gas, to risk his own life among the clouds, as well as those of the madcaps who are with him, for the amusement of some hundreds of gobeinouches who have paid a shilling a head to see their fellow-creatures commit constructive suicide. Whether he and his companions come down in safety, or are sent, unpre pared and unshriven, into the presence of their Maker, the risk is still the same—the utter useless ness and folly of the thing remain intact. When some personage more important than a poor caricatu rist has been killed in a balloon, the attention of the authorities will perhaps be drawn to the subject, and this wanton trifling with life be perhaps put a stop to, like any other dangerous nuisance. Apologising for this intrusion on your columns, I am, Sir, your obedient servant, GEORGE AUGUSTIJS SALA. 17, Upper Wellington-street, Strand. FATAL COLLISION OF THE SAPPHIRE AND METEOR STEAM-BOATS. Yesterday Mr. Baker and a respectable jury as sembled in the coroner's room of the London Hospital to institute an inquiry relative to the death of Marian Goodge, the wife of a shoemaker, who received such serious injuries in her head while on board the Meteor steam-bcat, on Tuesday week, from a collision with the Sapphire steam-boat, that she died on Saturday at the London Hospital, in consequence of the inju ries. Mr. Arnold, of the firm of kidder and Arnold, Gravesend, solicitors of the Star Steam-packet Company, with Mr. (late Alderman) Harmer, the chairman, and Mr. F. Southgate, of the firm of Southgate and Sons, Gravesend, solicitors to the Diamond Steam-packet Company, to which the ves sels respectively belonged, were present to assist in the proceedings. Mr. Walter, solicitor, Providence place, Limehouse, attended for the friends of the de ceased. A conversation having taken place as to the best mode of proceeding, The CORONER observed that there was no objection on the part of the friends of the deceased to a post mortem :examination, and as without one the jury could not come to a definite verdict, as the deceased might have come to her death from some other cause than that of the accident, it would be necessary for him to issue his warrant, to direct that a post mortem examination should take place. The jury having consented to this proposition, Mr. Southgate wished to know what would be the course in taking the evidence. The CORONEa remarked that it would depend, in a great measure on circumstances. He observed that on the 30th of October, 1840 (quoting from a work he had published, entitled "A Practical Compendium of Recent Statutes, &c."), an order was issued from the Trinity-house, which was in compliance with directions issued by the Lords of the Admiralty to the captains of steam-boats in her Majesty's service, and which stated that " when any steam-vessels, in diffe rent courses must inevitably or necessarily cross so near, that by continuing their respective courses there would be a risk of coining in collision, each vessel should put her helm a-port, so as always to pass on the larboard side of each other." Mr. Harmer—That is the question. Much desultory conversation ensued as to which of the vessels was in fault, which was put an end to by the Coroner, who adjourned the inquiry. THE COLLISION ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAIL WAY. Up to the present time, although several persons were were seriously injured by the collision , Monday evening took place at Hornsev, on which on Northern Railway, the precise cause which led to its occurrence has not yet been made p u bli c. Th e fol lowing particulars are from a trustworthy source, and embody briefly the real facts of the case. It has been previously stated that the s t oppage w hi c h led immediately to the accident was occa s i o ned by the en gine attached to a coal train being " disabled from some cause or other." The disability of the engine arose as follows :—The engine-driver ' finding that the steam was being generat e d t oo ra pidly, turned the emptying tap, or stop-cock of the boiler, with a view to let off a portion of it s con t en t s , intending when a sufficient quantity had run out to stop it. Upon at tempting to do so, however, he found himself unable to stir the handle of the tap, partly owing to i the tight ness with which, being new, it fitted into its socket, and partly to the force with which the water rushed out through the pressure of the steam upon its sur face. Finding, after repeated efforts, that the tap continued immoseable, and that the water had nearly all escaped, be became apprehensive that the boiler would become red hot, and so coll a p s e. With praiseworthy. prese nce of mind he therefore left the tap, and hastily raked the fire from the furnace, after which the tap was, with some difficulty, closed, the boiler refilled, and the furnace rekindled. A lengthened delay wag, of course, the conseq ue nce of t h ese various operations, and the collision followed. At the same time it was strange that one train should, in the broad light of day, run into another train, after being duly signalled, as is alleged, in the pre sent case, to proceed with caution. The matter will, of course, be searchingly investigated. The Rev. Mr. Snell, who lies at the Railway Tavern, near the Hornsey station , suffering from con cussion of the spine, is said to be progressing favour ably. He was yesterday visited by an eminent sur geon, sent down by the directors by special train. In the course of the day the reverend gentlema n was a l so visited by man y gentlemen residing in the neighbour hood, including several of the metropolitan and suburban clergy. The other parties injured are also reported as doi ng ; well. A party of platelayers was yesterday employed in relaying the rails displaced by the accident.
