raeli, Baron Bentinck, Lord George Manners, Viscount
Ingestre, and Captain Lowther.

COUIVTY COURTS EXTENSION.
After infinite paths and vexation the County Courts
Extension Bill has been safely passed through the
Commons. This night it is to be taken up to the Lords
to receive their Lordships' consideration, and, we trust,
approval. The principle of this measure has been dis-
cussed usque ad nauseam, and even the details of the
present ancillary Bill must be so familiar to as many of
our readers as take any interest in the subject at all,
that it would be mere idleness in us to reopen the quell..
tion at auy length. The Commons have done their duty
by the country; it only remains for the Lords to follow
the example of the popular branch of the Legislature
end extend the prectiosl utility of the County Courts.
The only point in the present measure from which any
obstruction may be anticipated lies in the 10th section.
P Sir John Jervis, as is well known, when the County
"Courts first came under discussion, ousted the bar from
prectico before the new tribunals, unless instructed by
an attorney. The question has been mooted ever
since; and the bar—especially what is called the
junior bar—has made desperate efforts to regain its
lest position. The popularity of the new courts
has drawn the clients away from Westminster-hall; and
Sir John Jervis has shut the doors of the substitutes
for Westminster-hall in the faces of his Learned Friends.
Much inconvenience to suitors and much injuttice to
the bar have been the natural consequences of 39 false
a step. Now, the present Bill, by its 10th clause, enacts,
" that it shall be lawful for an attorney . .

their interest. We shall see to-night how f

Tua IN EW POSTAL ARRARGEMENTS.—TeIegraphic
news -
of the last overland India and China mail reached
London by the 11th inst. The date from Singapore by that
mail was May 1, consequently intelligence from Singapore
to London was conveyed in 41 days. When the mail
packets now on their way out begin to run between Aus-
tralia and Singapore, intelligence will reach the latter
place from Western Australia in rather more than a week,
from South Australia in a fortnight, and from Eastern
Australia in about three weeks. The telegraphic news
alluded to above was dated from Marseilles at 5, A.M., en
the 11th instant, and was published in the second editions
of the London morning journals of that day. The space
therefore between Marseilles and London may now be said
to be extinguished by electric telegraph agency. Nexr. year
the distance between Singapore and Marseilles will be era-
versed, owing to the new postal arrangements, in about a
month. Without, therefore, any extension of the electric
telegraph into south-eastern Europe, we shall receive news
frcm Swan River in about five weeks, from Melbourne,
Adelaide, in six weeks, and from the gold diggings in New
South Wales in about seven weeks. The importance of
this rapid communication to the country and colonies, and
in aiding the emigration movement, can hardly be over-
estimated. Australian journalists will shortly be ordering
telegraphic messages, to be sent from London, through
France, a few hours before the departure of the packet from
Marseilles with the Indian, China, and Australian mails,
separted from old England,
and Australian emigrants will scarcely consider themselves
gerce from it in a space
of time not much exceeding a
month. when they can receive intelli-
gence
