in some instances two miles. and ia others at still farther
ilimances from the City itself. The gerrdians of the poor of
the City unions have br some time been senlible of this
and have eddremsd thsemelms to the consideration of
it, with • view to provide a remedy. At the present time all
the City workhouse but one (the West London) are
removed from the metropolk, sad consequentiLitr
sen are a wards equally di tit from the

limited, and there le no room for • mental ward in proximity
to it —upon economic grounds, perhaps, it is well for the
ratepayers of the district that this is so, otherwise • West
London Union camel ward, situated in the heart ef the
City, would attract the casuals incidental to all the City
unions to its particular doors from its greater socessibility. A
consideration of &traria, therefore, in contributing to one
common burden, and a desire, moreover, to plane the system
of relief to vagrants upon a more uniform and systematic
footing, has prompted the guardians of all the City
lesions to unite in the endeavour to establish ose central
email ward in the City of London, to be supported by
the ratepayers of the City according to me uniform principle.
About at the time when this plan wee about to be tarried

ennui balsam of its income (some nine thousand
pseuds). whittles& object, in pre to making • rate
wpm the citizens for the purpose, has, of course, for the pre-
sses diverted the !Manteca of the guardian from their
original plan el • central ward. The guardians
have since preferred their pmenesed claim on behalf
of the WNW per with the Oiremenem d Erbievell, bat the
governors Mee ignored the mom sheltering tlassassives
eager the plashed elrcomsbanos that the poor law of (Mom
Elisabeth has relined them from any charge of the maul
poor wordier to the terms of the charter of Edward VI.
The COIMAIIIMODITI of Charities have subsequently been ap-
pealed to, but in the absence et any powers themselves to
restore a public foundation to the legitimate uses for which
it teas established, they have taken also en objection Wan
application made to them by the guardians to ineridfy to the
4ttorney-Geserel, in order that the opinion of a Court of
Equity, under the sanction of the crown, may be taken es the
present apprition of Bridewell Hospital and itr revenues.
Coder these sastmoss, unfavourable though they appear
to be to the parities attempted to be set up by the

bridge Essays have
numbers, we trust, will prove

. the present number is that on
of English Criminal Law, by
Itephen. In this acute and thought-
- brings into prominent relief a
of our English system of criminal
distinguished from the methods
prevailed in other ages and countries-
- litigious, instead of being inquisiturial ; in
other words, that a criminal trial with us, is
not so much " a public investigation, having
for its object the ascertaining of truth with
a view to the infliction of punishment," but rather " a
private litigation between two persons, one of whom
tries to persuade the judge that the other falls
within a class against which the law has denounced
certain punishments." Mr. Stephen shows, histori-
cally, that the inquisitorial mode of investigation
was that which formerly prevailed in this country
and he gives an exceedingly ingenious and able
view of the various stages by which the one
method in the course of time came to be
exchanged for the other. It is clear that
Mr. Stephen has studied the whole subject in an
enlarged and liberal spirit. Judging from internal
evidence we should say that his original bias had
been in favour of the continental system; but after
a comprehensive and dispassionate review of the
practical working of the two methods he thus
records his judgment in favour of our own ;

Upon the Whole, I can hardly doubt that an Inquisitorial
system of criminal procedure would be very unfit, both on
political and on juridical grounds, for this country. It is in-
consistent with trial by jury, which can only exist where the
questions to be decided are very definite, sad the gamma
Bpm which they are to be decided are Omit and

which he may be seduced by fear or by telly, as wall as by
enaction guilt—and that they can do so with any certainty'
do not the least believe—juries assuredly cannot. If, there-
fore, we are determined to have juries, we must have rube
of evidence, and an impartial judge to enforce them. In
other word', we must have a litigious, and not an inquisitoral
procedure. It must also be remembered that the inquisitorial
principle can only be carried out by a degree of interference
with individual liberty which no one in this country would
sedum. The investigations which anomie' carry en in the
ordinary coarse of there business are not always very agree-
able to those whom they affect; but who would submit to the
humiliation of being summoned before some petty country
police innsctor, to give account of a chance expression about
some trial which had attracted public attention ,• or of being
jto subjected a "searching investigation into the whole" of
ones " past life," conducted by the clerks of a local police.

The essay on Telegraphic Communication with
India furnishes unanswerable arguments in fa-
vour of that Suez line, on the superior merits of
which all ratioual people are now agreed. In the
paper last referred to, Mr. Girborne gives a very
readable narrative of the varying fortune' of th.
Suez and Euphrates valley router.
The biographical notice of " Porson" which follows
is exceedingly well done, and forms the best com-
pendious account anywhere to be met with of the
life and labour, of that extraordinary. man. The
follow ing peasages afford a graphic picture of his
habits and personal appearance in the later period of
his career :

It le at this time that tome remarks upon his habits of life
seas celled for,. and, without raking together all the foolish
ireerise told to his discredit, most of which are exaggerated,
end sway absolutely false, I fear we must net shrink from
elating that he was Mdicted in no trifling way to the
vise of dripking. to such an extent aa ooasidevably to
Mirk his usefulneas, and which, to doubt, contributed to
shorten his life. And with all the allowances that ought to
he made for one living in Ruch times as the close of the last
century, I fear that Porton in this respect exceeded what
was even then considered tolerable. No doubt there are
teeny palliation' to be urged for him—his seri, illness when
• boy, and in mos a eleeplesmieu which attended him
through life, loreedhim to seek society at nights continually,
end society then always involved hard drinking. And after
en
evening spent either at the deanery of Westminster, or at
dishonest of any of his other friends, he would fail to
spend seine hours afterwards at **Cider Cellars, in
lane, where he would pour f nth Greek and English poetry
and prose to any who would listen to him. While aloes, Its
never drank to exoese—end he would always easindiate his
baits to those of the house in which he was staying • thus,
whoa spending some six or seven weeks with Ida dater on
the occasion of his father's lest illness, beheld most regularly
and abstemiously. His health through life was never very
good, and, whenever be felt unwell, his usual remedy was
total abstinence from food ; for physic and physicians he had
a great contempt, and yet curiously enough many of his most
intimate friends were physiciaas. In a letter written in
1802 to Dr. Davy, he says, " I have been at death's door
myself, but by a due neglect of the faculty, and plentiful use
of my old remedy (powder of post) I am pretty well re-
powered."

Mr. Hopkin's paper on Geology is no doubt va-
luable, but it has the fault of attempting too much.
It is impossible satisfactorily to travel over the limits
of a science in the comps. of an essay. Mr. Hop-
kins is too elaborate for an article and too succinct
for a treatise. The all:absorbing subject of the day

and creditable good sense to dismissing the Questions
raised by the Sepoy mutiny. His paper is well worth
reading, and we find room for some of the conclusions
to which his investigation leads him:
Oar administration of India has had signal merits, but
wants stimulus.
This impulse would be given, to the first pleas, by giving
more power to the local authorities.
And again, by giving to each of the five great divisions et
India a really independent government, in ell matters of ad-
ministration.
And again, by surrounding each governor with • large
legislative council, of experienced civil and military Akers,
melded, perhaps, by selected natives.
Bat if not then by combining the Court of Directors and
the Beard of Control, with large additions of retired Anglo-
Indiana, in a council. Its deliberations to be public.
The seat of government should be in the hill country, not
in Calcutta.
The governorships, Mid governor-generalship, should be
the of the moat distinguished ability displayed in India
itselfmises
The freedom of the Indian press is, upon the whole, a good,
not an evil.
The seniority system in the army should be freely broken
into.
The military of ere should no longer be drafted off to
civil appointments.
A better proportion must be kept between the European
and native troor, but this rather by lessening the latter than
by Increasing the former.
The artillery and forts should only be entrusted to Euro-
pomp.
No military expenditure would be so effective as that upon
railways.
It might lead the natives to greeter loyalty if the Queen
were called Empties of India.
It is our duty, as a Christian country to show forth equal
merry of purpose, in our gratitude and in oar vengeance.
On the whole we close this number of the Cam-
bridge Essays with two equally firm convictions:
1. That those who read them through will be unable
to perform that praxes without considerable profit.
2. That the number of these conscientious students
will be somewhat select.

GOVERNING INDIA BY PARTE

(From the Saturday Review.)

We almost scorn to argue with the man who does
not see that, if ladle is once the football of contending
parties, in a few turn. it will be struck far beyond the reach
of either of them. The danger is not so much that bad
measures will be defended and good once assailed with all
the strength of faction—though that danger is almost la-
finitely great-as that individuals will be judged from •
party point of view. In India, men are of vastly greater
consequence than measures ; but it is one of the peenliaritiee
of an active condition of patty spirit to decide the relative
capacities of men by a standard even more arbitrary than
it applies to resesures. The great axioms of party are that
the worst whig is better than the bast tory, and the worst
tory than the best whlg. Is there anybody in possession
of • memory reaching fifteen or twenty years back,
who will venture to say that, with India once within full
tiew of England, a Wblg majority would tolerate the notion
that a Tory statesman and • Tory general were the heart
and hope of their respective services P From 1828 to 1840,
it was difficult, we believe, to get a liberal to allow that
the Duke of Wellington had the lout talent far strategy ;
and we may make up our minds that the dificalty woooulldd
have beams an impossibility if the qualities of the pence
criticised had bee& exercised in • lees conspicuous field.
It would be hard to name a angle Indian celebrity to
whom the repines of faction would not have been fatal.
Mr. Mountatnart Elphlastons is, we believe, • liberal ; and
Sir George Clerk has the reputatioa of being • commisera-
tive. Does anybody pretend to think that the Ant would
have been allowed to legislate for the Maluattas when the
beim were in power. and the latter to govern a presidency
with the widget in office, unless the labours of both bad ham
prosecuted under a system to which the political *micas of
the mother country were utterly foreign f
There may be a question whether it was tries to recall
Lord Ellenboroagh ; but it is quite certain that there may
hereafter he a person in Lord Ellenborough's potation
who may have all the violence and preelpitation of which
he wee accused, and all the incapacity of which nobody
seemed him. Let it never be forgotten that, under the
existing system of Indian government, the most powerful
minister of the century acquiesced almost without complaint
in Lord Etlenbomugh's recall, and simply exerted !limed
to place in the vacant post the best successor he could dis-
cover. We should like to see • council of India recall a
m.g•strnte standing equally high with Lord Ellenborough
in the affections of his party. We should like to see It even
advise hie recall. It may be assumed that, if • governor-
general be &b eater socceed dewily form of incapacity under
the sun, the whole energies of the new Indian department
' will be strained to seaman him in utiles till the end of his
term.
