'Ph ey had promised a system h'Rinat• t 11 141 ,,: i ng in the frenzy of Louis Blanc had cif !statesmanship nor one element of success. The people, properly so called, were dis appointed, and hence the fearful conflict that took place in the streets the following June. Like all successful movements of power against the mob, the success of the republic (as it is ludicrously called) against the people was the signal for the most odious despotism; for it is a fact unfortunate and undeniable, that Ferdinand of Naples does not exercise a greater tyranny than the government of Louis Napoleon. Newspapers have been seized and extinguished—the penalty of death for politi cal offences (prudently abolished by the provisional government) has been renewed. Transportation to the deadly Marquesas has been invented, and to top the climax it is an indictable offence to cry " Vive la Republique 1" Denmark for twenty years, ending 1846; and it appears from them that the average number of causes brought before the reconcilement courts was 25,500 yearly ; that of these 17,600 were at once settled through the advice of the court, voluntarily followed by the parties ; that only 7,500 were left to the courts of law, and only 2,400, or less than a tenth of the whole, brought to trill. But Ido not rely on any statistics, how accurately soever given. what must of necessity be the consequence of parties ap pearing before a respectable and wholly disinterested ad viser, in the person of the local judge, appearing without any lawyer or attorney, and hearing the opinion of that judge on their own statements ? What, but that all, or almost all hopeless suits will be stopped, and all, or almost all groundless Wefences abandoned ? Unless human nature is different in England and in other countries this must needs be. One reason for approving of local courts, and of parties being made competent witnesses, rests mainly oa the facilities thus given to honest plaintiffs and con scientious defendants—the obstruction thus offered to parties of an opposite character. Then is not arbitration and reconilement the carrying of this blessed principle to its fullest extent ? 'Tis treason to love it, and death to defend ; Against this project the chief objection we have heard urged is that it would be solely used by the parties as an indirect mode of obtaining a legal opinion upon the state of the case, and that, in fact, if the judge decided wrongly on the summons for recon cilement a wrong decision must also be given in the court, as he could not, in judging on the same premises, stultify himself. Whatever may be the final opinion of the public, however, on the subject, it is clear, from other portions of Lord Brougham's letter, that he apprehends in this, as in other law while at the game moment, in a country where 'royalty is formally abolished, it is taken as a service to the "cause of order" for soldier or citizen to cry " Vive l'Empereur !" In the meantime trade and commerce are suffering as might be expected under a regime like this, and from Pius the Ninth, on his rickety throne, to the most ragged proletaire who drinks vine la guillotine, every man waits in the expectation of another political earthquake in the year that we are fast approaching. In the meantime the extreme short-sightedness of those who fancy they have the rule in France, prompts them to look for candidates for the presi dentship amongst the old familiar names of the Orleans faction. There is nothing more remark able than the tameness with which what is called the republic submitted to the leadership of men to whose counsels they attributed the evils that caused the expulsion of the dynasty of 1830. To read of the present state of French politics, one would fancy it was 1841 instead of 1851, for the old "standing dishes" of the deputies are still leaders of the assembly, and France seems quietly sub mitting to the intrigues of such people as Thiers, la poupee, on one side, and Guizot, "the man of Ghent," upon the other. For all the apparent in dependence of judgment that has been obtained, the revolution of 1848 might as well have ended like that of Smith O'Brien, in a cabbage garden. The hopes of the Orleanists are now placed upon an event, the occurrence of which they ought to know is hopeless—the election of the Prince de Joinville to the presidency, and suspiciously enough the chief partisan of this candidateship is the Duchess of Orleans, whose hopes of the throne , for her son the Count de Paris are matter of noto riety. The " game" of the Orleanists is quite clear. Let but Joinville get four years of the presidency, and a chance of exercising his father's arts, and the Count de Paris will be then of age. A quiet elec tion, a bloodless restoration, a coup d'etat is looked on as sufficient to do the rest. In the meantime the family at Claremont are disposed to adopt what Charles I. called "other counsels." Guizot hae had a reception which will not tend to bring him back quickly to the refuge of royalty. The family do not in fact think that he has done so much for them that his advice is of any further use, and they are certain that his popularity will not advance the election. That grievously overrated man is at last finding his level. With a pretence of high princi ple, he nevertheless agreed in all the self-aggrandi sing projects of Louis Philippe, and with a solemn show of sagacity he yet could not see the storm till it burst. The author of the famous quibble ! in the Spanish marriages that "the queen could be married first"—meaning at an interval of five minutes—had not even the praise of principle to carry off what the French were fond of calling his " bilious Calvinism " The last chance of his further notoriety is gone by the defection of the coterie of Claremont. Exit Guizot. reforms, a continuance of the opposition the Lord Chancellor has already shown. " Sheweth, "That your memorialists represent nearTy fifteen hundred trade men, receiving the certificate enabling them to carry on their business from, and specially placed under the control of your worships ; that thii large body of persons hare invested an amount of capital in their trade which; on a very moderate computation, would reach two millions sterling; and that, as a class, they are governed by more stringent laws, and subjected to a more annoying surveillance, than any other portion of the trading. community. _ Although not exactly commercial law, the law of Chancery is, unfortunately, only too interesting to all engaged in commerce. In that department Lord Brougham proposes a thorough reform. "No structural change, " he says, " will meet the evil universally complained of. A functi,mal change is abso lutely necessary. The judges in Chancery, like the judges at common law, must work out their own decrees, and not send two-thirds and three-fourths of their business to be done by the masters. You must make more puisne judges in Chancery, and get rid of the Master's Office entirely, those judges now sitting in courts, now in chambers, as do the other judges of the superior courts. The abolition of the separation between proceedings in equity and at law —what is termed the fusion of the twor—must come next ; but the important change I have adverted to is necessary at all events ; it will both pave the way for the ultimate and complete improvement, and it will be as necessary when that consummation is brought about as it is in the present state of things." "That your memorialists have good reason to know that the number of licensed houses already existing in the borough very !urge per centage of these houses will not, howeveicleyerly managed, produce a livelihood to the tenant, and that many others are only.kept open by a i eckless defiance of the law, and by the most disreputable and degrading courses..

It will be remembered that Threlfall was acquitted. On the 29th ult., James Dickenson, a sailmaker, for merly working at 57, FlePt-street, whilst at work on board the ship Osborne, lying in Victoria Dock, fell down the fore-hatchway, whereby his kg was broken and other injuries incurred, from the effects of which he died yester day morning. _ _ _ _ . _ _ 'JOHN C.

EVERTON AND KTRRDALE WARD, Mr. DODD, solicitor, applied on behalf of M Anders, for a license to a house in Prince Edwin-street at the corner of Beresford-street. In urging the appli cation, Mr. Dodd said that Mr. Anders had formerly been connected with the police force of this town, and by hie excellent Conduct had raised himself to the post intendent. His increasing attention to the (lair.. office, he having, during a portion of the time Hewett, of the fire police, was absent. through sick fulfilled the arduous duties of that g had induced declining health, and Mr police force, and he now applied to °- license to a beer-house ; which had sent wife's'late husband for some marriage with Mr. Anders, and- durir no complaint, whatever had been.

From their daily progress it will probably take some months to complete what might be done in as many weeks. The painting, which will be proceeded with after wards, will probably occupy a like time, much to the annoyance of all parties engaged in supplying the public. On Saturday night, William Brooking, 58 years old, a piano -forte tuner, formerly residing at 5 Court, Lambert street, retired to bed about twelve o'clock. On the fol lowing morning he was found dead. The deceased was a man addicted to drink, and after so indulging complained of pains at his chest. At the inquest, yesterday, the jury returned a verdict that the deceased had died from the effect of excessive drinking. EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCH.—On Friday morning last, the screw steamer Gannet arrived here from Rotter dam, and went into the Nelson Dock. In the course of the day she discharged upwards of 500 tons of goods, and on the day following commenced taking in cargo outwards. TPis was completed and the vessel cleared for sea again at four o'clock on Saturday afternoon—a❑ instance of unusual despatch. time przvious:y to her period Ird to the who) With r, thing which he (Mr. Dodd Bd fulsome, as the whole of th ilted himself was in contcni f fair, he believed memorial from the inhabitants of the neighbourhood in favour of the grant, and also a letter from Mr. Dowling., the head constable, as to the applicant's good chara c t er , and his fitness to be entrusted with a license. •M- - the t%”--'• YATES, solicitor, in opposin4 _ T piteation said, the main ground urged why the licence should be granted was, that the applicant had formerly been in the police force, and therefore ought to be rewarded by the gift of a license; hut• he was not aware that the magistrates sat The struggle for the Presidency then will proba bly be between Louis Napoleon and a candidate of the red. Cavaignac will doubtless keep his promise when he opposed the revision of the constitution, and everything points to the probability of his success. If this should be, then the Papal Court will not have appealed to Austria an hour too soon, and the anticipations of Pius will be fully fulfilled. The coming struggle will be a desperate trial of the strength of the priests. At the last election even miracles were not spared to gain the cause of Louis Napoleon, that he might be a locum . tenens of the Count de Chambord, and surely less cannot now be done for him who sent troops to keep the Roman people from flinging infallibility into the Tiber. No election of the Emperors of old was half so important as the coming French election of 1852. On Sunday morning, at one o'clock, Eliza Welch, the wife of John Welch, a fisherman. in Richmond Fair, Fox street, retired to bed with her husband, taking with her an infant four months old. She placed the child on her arm to give it the breast, and about eight or nine o'clock in the ►norning the child was found dead.

For the last eight years had applications been made for a li cense to this house, and-each .year had been rejected by the inhabitants; and he (Mr. Dodd), therefore, thought the bench would not be disposed to alter their course of pro ceeding, unless some- alteration should be shown to have taken place in the neighbourhood.

THE WEATHER.—During the past week the weather, though somewhat cold, has been sufficiently dry to allow the harvest operations to be completed. Tile boats from Cheshire on Saturday, as well as the country carts, were loaded with garden products for the markets. Everything was cheap and excellent. Hothouse fruits are rather more scarce, particularly in good grapes and pines. Peaches and nectarines which were very fine sold at 3s. to 4s. per dozen. Many beautiful flawers were exhibited; some stands of prize dahlias grown by Mr. Chas. Rylance attracted much admiration. On Saturday last, Richard Porter, a child three-and-a half years old, the son of Richard Porter, a shoemaker, residing in No. 5 Terrace, Tarlton-street, Everton, went out to play, and shortly returned, and complained of being unwell. He died in little more than an hour afterwards. The coroner, in consequence of the deceased being in a burial club,ordered a post mortem examination to be made. Mr. George Kemp, the surgeon who made the examine tionestated that he found the cause of death to be con gestion of the lungs, the result of natural causes. The jury returned a verdict in accordance with this testimony. THE HARVEST.—Great progress has been made in West Lancashire, within the last few days, in the cutting and housing of corn ; a great deal of wheat has been got, in first-rate condition, and a few more days of the present beautiful weather would [:ring harvest operations to a close. Many parties are busily engaged with second crops of clover, which is generally a good crop. Potatoes have changed much for the worse since our last ; as an instance, we saw, on Thursday, a crop of kemps, in ridges, got up (amongst which, a fortnight since, scarcely an unsound one could be found), with, at least, one-third of them diseased. The land upon which they are grown is of a light sandy description. There is every prospect of the disease being quite as destructive this year as in any former one since its commencement. DEATH UNDER SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.—On Wednesday last a dispute took place between Margaret Hughes, residing at No. 10 Court, Clayton-street, and two young girls, sisters, named Emma and Ellen Power, residing in the same court, respecting the right. of use to a clothes line. Elizabeth Hughes, aged 27 years, the daughter of Margaret Hughes, advised her mother to come into the house, for doing which the two Powells made use of threatening language towards her. In the evening Elizabeth Hughes went out of the house to go on an errand when she was attacked by the Powells, and severely beaten ; she was bitten upon the arm and the hair was to: from her head, and she was dragged along the ground. Oa the Saturday night following the deceased complained of her head being bad, and continued to do so until Sun day morning, when she died.—An inquest was held on the body yesterday, when Mr. Henry Emett, the surgeon alio made a post mortern examination, stated that the deceased had not any marks of violence on her person. He found the cause of death to be apoplexy, purely the result of natural causes. The jury returned a verdict of natural causes by the visitation of God. A YOUNG AFRICAN PRINCE IN LIVERPOOL.--We had yesterday a pleasing interview with a remarkably intelli gent boy, five and a half years old, named Thomas Canray Caulker, son of Canraybah Caulker, King of Bompey, Sherbro country, west coast of Africa. The little fellow arrived in this town on Saturday, and has been brought to this country, to be educated, by his guardian, Captain Edultus Swinton, of the Adeline, of Newcastle. He evi dently possesses considerable discernment, and his man. ners are gentle and affectionate. He is extremely tract able, but manifests occasionally the spirited conduct which may be expected from a youth of royal blood. He wears on his left wrist a silver badge of royalty, being a collar of about an inch and a half in width, with the figure of an elephant beautifully carved upon ir. Of course the infant prince can not as vet speak English, but when his educa tion is matured, and he returns to his native country, we anticipate the greatest advantages to that interesting quarter from thesulture he will have received and the habit. lie will have acquired during his residence here. '!'he kingdom over which his father exercises sway adjoins our colony of Sierra Leone, and the king has done all in his power to suppress the slave trade, and to further the pro gress of civilisation throughout his dominions. We hope that the benevolent intentions of Captain Swinton will be all character, and the applications made were, for the most part, by private individuals for a private enterprise, for licenses in great numbers. Cases were no sooner granted than they were transferred to make a profit by them. Mr. llormt lenders For whom do you appear, Mr. Yates ?" Why, I myself arn . a ratepayer ; but IP IL V' V • Vl, • Mr. YATES COMMERCIAL LEGISLATION-LORD I appt of Beresford-Street." (Laughter.) Mr. DODD, hi reply, said he had erpeeted that Mr Yates, after what .he had said - , an inhabitant BROUGHAM LORD BROUGHAM, whose energy and industry in Law Reform are truly untiring, has availed himself of reinstated health to address another letter to Lord Denman on the legislation of last session. The great and salutary alterations in our commer cial code, we need hardly say, are chiefly attributa ble to his lordship, and he deals with the subject, in his letter, with an interest almost equal to per sonal, and a determination which promises much for his efforts in another year. Of the bills of last , would have r memorial against the grant, but instead of that he ap peared on behalf of a solitary individual in Bercsford street. As to the frequency of the applications for a license to this house, this was the very first time Mr. Anders had appeared as an applicant before the court ; and he (Mr. Dodd) hoped and trusted that the bench would for the reasons he had assi Mr. Samuel Kirkman sou gne:, concede. tlio license. :ht for a Ii in Great Homer-street.. at present a beer. Mi.

It is not the individual interest of any one that guides the magistrate.; in their decision ; and it cannot be too generally or publicly kpown that the opposition from another publican in the neighbourhood would have very little consideration. session Lord Brougham justly praises the Patent Law Amendment Act as a great improvement, and the bill giving to the County Court judges the power of arresting debtors about to abscond from the district. The bill for improving criminal pro cedure will happily remove objections which have hitherto excited in the mind of the public consider able prejudice against, if not even contempt for, the tribunals, namely, the facility of criminals escaping on a mere technical point. By this bill all those variations or description, &c., hitherto considered fatal, may be amended in the court, and thus we shall have no more acquittals on a mere question of mistake of names. We still want, however, the third verdict, which is permitted by the law of Scotland—that of " Not proyen"—for many a juror acquits for want of evidence, though he has no moral doubt of guilt. But a second part of this act is still more necessary, owing to the recent alterations of the law permitting parties to swear in their own cause. All judges of County Courts and other tribunals may now order a _witness' into cus tody and direct that he be indicted for ,perjury--a provision of.the necessity of which no one could for a moment doubt, who stood half-an-hour in a County Court and heard the tlat contradictions upon oath that are perpetually passing there. Lord Brougham laments the loss of his clauses for creating Courts of Reconcilement as they exist in Denmark. We quote his lordship's account of those courts, that our readers may consider how far, next session, the house should he pressed by peti tions to adopt them :- '• My firm belief is, that facilitating the wide and volun tary termination of suits by those kinds of procedure, would be a blessing to the community, compared with which all our other reforms, whether of the equity or com mon lam courts, sink into insignificance. I positively think that such an arrangement as the bill proposed, and the law as well as lay had (Ejected—that of giving the county court judges full power as arbitrators, and also as judges of reconcilement—would do more to prevent injus tice and oppression, more to destroy professional chicanery and extortion, more to diffuse, through all society, the blessings of security and peace, than any scheme that ever was decreed for accelerating the progress of social im provement. J have now before me the official returns in Mr. John Pugh, applied through Mr. GI:BATLEY so licitor, for a licenso to his beerhousc, in Mill-road. Ever- within the space of half a mile, with the exception of one kept by a person named Shepherd, and this was upwards of 300 yards from the applicant's premises. There were 159 to 160 houses already inhabited, with a rapidly in- creasing calculated for a public-house, and the applicant was a man of undoubted reputation, having lived as servant for a length of time with the present Ven.

Spanish Stock is heavy. The adviees of the alleged prozress of Lopez and his followers have caused sales to be effected. The Globe says that it is well believed, that if Spain loses Cuba, the authorities of Madrid will probably show little inclination to observe, in strictness, their engagements, limited though they may be, with their foreig►, creditors. Mexicans are gradually receding. The scanty remit tances made by the packets, and the prospect of fresh troubles in the republic itself, are circumstances creating dissatisfaction in the minds of holders, and they conse quently throw their stock on the market.
