CONTINENTAL CLIMATES.

- 1

It is a grand mistake to believe that any of our neigh-
bours are much better than ourselves in that respect. If
they be, it is more in the fact, that the order of the sea-
sons is more regular, and that the particular character
of the time has fewer variations than in England. So
much is this the case, that we appreciate perfectly the
distinction a foreigner
,once made to us, that England
has weather but no climate, meaning that every imagin-
able change is at all times possible, and that for tour
weeks of June sun and wind, we often are requited with
a December that even Naples might envy. It may be set
down as certain, that except in a few favoured spots along
the shores of the Mediterranean and in Sicily, our winters
are milder than those of the Continent. A Paris
winter is a vile compound of cold, slush, damp, fog, and
foul smells. A Brussels one is all the preceding, Plus
sleet and storm. A German winter is an affsir of stoves,
double windows, fur mantles, and foot-warmers, frozen
fouatains, and no mail every second or third day. Italy
has a dozen climates. Milan, all rain and wind. Turin
both, in diminished degree. Florence alternates be-
tween an Irish Jauuary and a West Indian tornado.
With the Sirocco, come fog, mud, and neuralgia; with
the Tramontano wind you have falling pottery arid
pleurisies. Rome is Ireland with a Pontine fever; and
Naples is all that sun and wind can make it. The au-
tumns are uniformly fine abroad, finer and less change-
able than in England. As for spring, it only exists in
" Thomson's Seasons." The contihental summers are
almost unexceptionably good. In mountain districts
there are certain periodical rains, hut they rarely last
long, or cause much inconvenience. An English inva-
lid has few valid reasons for leaving his own shores,
save such as the change of scene and the novelty of
travel suggest. Pisa, it is true, offers some advantages
to the weak•chested; but then the whole mvailable ex-
tent of Pisa is the quay along the Arno. Away from
this you encounter cutting winds and cold blasts, and all
the rigours of a northern winter. There are a few
secluded nooks along the Mediterranean, such as Nestre
and Spezzia, which combine the advantages cf sea-air
with all the luxuriance of a tropical vegetaaion.—Dic-
hens's " Household Words."

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.
HOUSE OF LORDS, Feb. 19.
PETITION OF JAMES HAMILTON STORY.
' The Earl of EGLIN TON called the attontion of
their Lordships to a petition from James Hamilton
Story, praying for leave to bring in a Bill to repeal a
portion of an Act passed in 1804, relating to the Moat
gomery estate, and moved that the petition be referred
to two English judges for the purpose of obtaining their
report. He considered that great injustice had been
done to Mr. Story in depriving him of his ancestors'
' estates in Ireland, and he trusted their Lordships would
not heaitate to accede to his motion. There were pia
eedents for adopting the course he now proposed, be-
cause their Lordships had passed Bills to correct mis-
takes which had occurred in previous Acts with regard
to the disposition of estates.
Lord REDESDALE opposed the motion, on the
' ground that it was against the invariable pt actice of
the House to refer Irish Estate Bills to Iriia Judges
only. The same prectice was pursued with regard to
Estate Bills in Enaland and Scotland, and ho saw no
reason why it should now bo departed from. _
After a few words from Earl EGLIN rON,
Lord BROUGHAM said be saw consiclerah:i) irregu-
larity in referring the matter to the English Judges.
He admitted there Nk as great injustice in the ci,se, hut
too long a period had elapsed to allow the subject to he
now revived.
Lord BEAUMONT opposed the motion, which was
then withdrawn.

and, secondly, because the absence OT such information
would be the cause of great delay. Owing to the ) great
difficulty of collecting returns, it was obvious Oita their
Lordships, if left to themselves, would be able to gather
but, a very slight amount of information, es compared
with the Government. Upon another topic he had un-
derstood the Noble Niarquis to say that it was only re-
cently ha had ascertained whether certain other infor-
mation was to be obtained at the Board of Control or at
the India House. Now the papers were to be had at
both places, although the one hoard had the particular
letter in extenso. If the Noble Marquis had read
these letters he could have had no difficulty in
stating whether they could be laid on the table. The
Noble Marquis had treated it as a personal question
between hire (the Earl of Ellenhorough) and the Court
of Directors; but he (the Earl of Elienborough) pr""
tested aeainst such an assumption. Was the rec all of
Sir 11. Smith a personal question mil!, ? Ile was sure
the Noble Earl (Grey) did not so consider it, but
that he felt it to be a matter of the deo',,est public im-

borough) asked, therefore, in justice, not to himself
alone, but to the great public interests involved i❑ the
relations between the Court of Directors and the Indian
Government, that the Noble Marquis should consent to
the production of those paprs; or, if the whole could
not be produced, at all events such extracts as might be
thoue,h, admissible of those communications which had
now been in the posseesion of the Court of Direc, ors for
seven years? What he complained of was, that the
public knew nothing of the real cause of his dismissal,
and, of course, had been left to infer anything they
liked. If, then, the Noble Marquis had no objection,
he (the Earl of Elienborongh) would move for several
documents. especially two letters he had written in de.
fence of the alterations he bad made, and a minute of
his on a question of law with respect to the Cottrell of

India.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said it would be
competent for the Committee, if they thought they re-
quired further information beyond what would be sub.
mined by the Government, to all for additional infor-
mation. With regard to the particular information con-
nected with the Noble Earl's recall, it was his desire to
do the Noble Earl full justice; and he by no means in-
tended to imply that the question was merely a personal
one, and involving no public interest. On the contrary,
it was obvious that a question as to the recall of a go-
vernor or a commander-in-chief wu.t he of the deepest
public interest and importance, and a fit subject for Par
liamentary investigation and inquiry. He submitted,
however, that it was not convenient to make any specific
inquiry as to this matter, considered separately and by
-,;self. It had taken place some eight years ago—it was
not thought fit by the Government of the time to
produce any papers upon the subject, and Parliament
had not called for an inquiry. And under these cir-
cumstances, and after successive Governments had
refused information on the matter, it was inexpedient
to institute an inquiry esp:cially with reference
to if. But at the same time he quite agreed that
it might be considered as one of the events which had
marked the career of our Indian administration, and
illustrated the relations which had subsisted between
the Government and the Company, and that, there.
fore, it might be convenient, along with any further in-
formation which might be called for by the Committee. to
furnish as much information as could be obtained with
respect to the recall of the Noble Earl; and he (the
Marquis of Lansdowne) should be happy, after commu-
nicating with the Noble Earl, to do his utmost to pro-
mote his object. He had recently had the opportunity
of reading such of the papers as were at the Board of
Control, and he had done so with deep interest. But he
had to inform the Noble Earl that one of the letters
which he (the Earl of Ellenborough) deemed most ma-
terial, did not exist either at the Board of Control or the
East India House—the letter containing a full exposi
tion of the motives and character of the Noble Earl's
conduct in India. That letter, he repeated, was not to
be found in the records of the Government or of the
Company, and there was reason to believe that the
Noble Earl (Ripon), who had been President of the
Board of Control at the time, had deemed it so far pri-
vate as to justify him in taking it away with him when
he left the India Board (an expression of astonishment
from the Earl of Ellenborough). Under these circum-
stances, whatever course the Noble Lord opposite in-
tended to adopt, he (the Marquis of Lansdowne) should
wish to communicate with him, and also with the Earl
of Ripon, with respect to the information it was desir-
able to produce. And he would undertake to commu-
nicate with that Noble Earl (Ripon) upon the subject.
Meanwhile he hoped the Noble Earl opposite would not
for the present press any motion for papers, but would
reserve the subject for general consideration before the
Committee.

The Earl of ELLENBOBOUGH said he quite agreed

that the question of his recall should be considered in
conjunction with all the other great events which would
come before Parliament in connexion with the adminis-
tration of Indian affairs. He desired to state, however,
that, by law the Court of Directors had no power what-
ever of sending out to India any one single syllable by
way of direction as to any measure whatever; and yet
they had most strangely continued to do so (a vestige of
a former state of things which had altogether legally
ceased to exist), and had the power of recalling, without
the consent of the Crown, the very officer whom the
Crown judged best fitted to carry into execution the
measures which by the Board of Control the directors
themselves might be compelled to adopt. So monstrous
an anomaly never could have existed in a proper sys-
tem of government. And surely the question whether
Finch a state of things should continue ought to come
before the Committee. He also thought that there ought,
at the same time, to be brought before them the intor-
tnetion as to the manner in which this power of rec-ill
had been exercised in his own case. But, 'yen should
Parliament be unanimous in approving of the exercise
of it in his case, his opinion would be unaltered, that
the general question should be considered—whether
the power of deciding upon measures to be
adopted should be vested in one body, and the
power of recalling the man appointed to carry them
out be vested in another? With regard to the state-
ment of the Noble Marquis, that a most important let-
ter which he (the Earl of E,lenhorough) had written.
was not to be found at the Board of Control, he heti
heard that statement with the utmost astonishment. It
was true that he had written it after receiving the order
for his recall ; but it was, a vindication of his conduct
previous to his recall, while he was in a high public sta-
tion, and it was undoubtedly a public document. Would
any Minister dream of preventing Sir H Smith from
putting before the country in an official form his vindi-
cation of his conduct, in answer to the dispatch of the
Noble Earl opposite conveying his recall? Surely not.
And he must confess be had viewed with indignation
the attempt which had been made at that time to make
it appear that this letter was a private one. It was a
public document, written by a public man, upon a most
important public measure ; and as such ought to have
been considered. And he had received a promise that
it should be considered. He could show the Noble
Marquis a letter from Earl Ripon, communicating an
extract from that letter, and he (the Earl of El-
lenborough) had, in consequence of an inquiry
he had made at the Board of Control, been
assured that, although only an extract had been in-
cluded in that communication, yet the whole in
extenso should be recorded. He considered, therefore,
the removal of the document as a great aggravation of
the injustice with which he had been treated; and re-
peated that he had always considered the document a
public one, and had received an assurance that it should
be considered as such.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE intimated that on
this day se'nnight he would move the appointment of
the Committee.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said that be should
then make some observations on the present system of
the Government of India, assuming that the Court of
Directors was retained with powers similar to what they
DOW possessed.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he did not, for
his part, desire to anticipate the discussion of the subk ot,
hut rather wished that the whole subject sh uld go to
the Committee on the part of the Government unfettered
by any opinion; and that it should not be until atter the
Committee should have made their inquiry, and pro-
nounced their judgment, that Parliament should be called
upon to come to any decision.
The Earl of ELLEN BOROUGH said he had thought
that his expertence on Indian affairs might be useful to
their Lordships.
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said he hoped, at
all events, other Noble Lords, not having the advantage
of such experience, would not imitate the Noble Earl's
example.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH observed that, about
40 years ago, Lord Grenville thought the earliest pos-
eible expression of his opinions upon the subject of im-
portance, and eta7ed them before any question had come
before the House.
COUNTY COURTS ACT EXTENSION BILL.
Lord BROUGHAM moved the order of the day for
the committee upon this Bill.
Lord LYNDHURST rose to state a case of great
hardship which had arisen under the existing

i
ed out of court for p
so on." This explanation was not sataic-
tory to the
incurred
plaintiff in the suit, who consequently
refused
to paY.
The case came before a judge of
the courts of
law at Westminster, where a learned judge, whose Itt
of vision was most remarkable, declared upon !mein:
nese -
•
nig at the Act that the attorney wee quite right in h
conetruction of it; and that though he tied received
toles
amount the Act allowed for coots in court, there was
nothing to preclude his recovering a further sum for
costa out of court. The result was that the attorney re-
, covered the bill, though it was taxed down to 11/. 14s.
which his client, the successful suitor, had to pay ; so
that the suitor recovered 51. at a cost of nearly 13/., and,
was about la. out of P ocket u(L ghter and hear, hear.)
This, however, was not hea had sued in the supe-
rior courts of Westminster he could have recovered tots
sum from the other party, the defendant; and it was
most just and reasonable that he who had refused to pay
a just demand should pay the cost of the proceedings re-
' sorted to to enforce it.—(Hear, hear.) But according
to this county courts system, the successful suitor, or the
plaintiff who recovered the debt, had to pay all the costs
of recovering it except the email sum of 15s. Such a
System seemed so inconsistent with the plainest princi-
ples of justice, that he had deemed it his duty to ettee
the case with a view to the grievance being remedied.—
(Hear, hear.) He had no doubt the construction put
e i
upon the Act bs.d surprised those who ba
and draw
vil;n
but it upt
,
and that they had not anticipated such
had nevertheless arisen.
Lord 13B.OUGHAM concurred in the latter observa-
tion ; adding thet it was not at all unutual for judicial
constructions to be pat upon Acts of Parliament waich
the flamers of them never had expected. He must say
however, that the whole subject of coats was one of the
most stifficult and the most hard to deal with that could
be conceived.
Lord LYNDHURST did not at all wish to insinuate
that the decisions of the courts of Westminster Hall had
not been quite correct. The Court of Queen's Bench
and the Court of Common Piess had both SO decided.
Lord CAMPBELL said be did not think that his
Noble and Learned Friend would commit such a mis-
take as to censure any decision of the courts of law,
from which an appeal lay to their Lordships as the
last resort. Iu the decision alluded to he had concurred,
and defied any one to come to any other upon the words
of the Act'. The meaning of the legislature could of

and that cif the two Gains of Bench and Com-
mon Pleas, the restriction in the Ac= applied only to
costs in court, and not to costs of proceedings out of
court. He certainly thought the eubject should be recon-
sidered by the Legislature ; but it was one which would
tie felled inv •lved in great difficulty, and in which, if
care were not taken, sertou, inj .ry might ea.ily be done
to the suitor.—(Hea-, hear.) I many csees it was es-
sential to employ attorneys of respcctebility and ability
to make investigation, look into long accounts, and so
on; and no one could expect that all this could be done
by such practitioners for so paltry a sum as les.
(Hear, bear.) The result, therefore, of restricting the
entire cost rec iveble to so small an amount would be to
deprive the sinters of the assistance at respectable and
able practitioners, which was oftea requisite for the pur-
poses of jusoc- —(Hear, hear.)
Lord LYNDHURST repeated that he did not intend
to dispute the validity of the decision, although at first
there had been doubt upon the point—the Queen's Bench
deciding one way, and the Court of Common Fleas the
other.
Lord CAMPBELL said the Queen's Bench had after-
wards reversed their decision cud concurred with the
Common Pleas in the construction he had stated.
Lord LYN DdURST said he quite agreed with his
Noble and Learnea Friend that it was often re quieite to
employ able and respectable attorneys in the county
courts; but what he complained of was that if such at-
torneys were employed the cost ot so employing thlel
did not fall on the party who ought to pay—namely. the
defendant who had resisted a just demacd.—(Eeear.)
The Earl of DERRY said it seemed to be egreer
upon that the costs in legal eases should be reduced, and
the object ot the former County Courts Bill clearly was
to limit the amount of the expenses, and thereby induce
the suitor to go to an economical court. That
0".851ht
had
inducement ven, and it was supposed that they
gained that advantage by limiting the amount of $1
Costs. It would now appesr that this was as uneconthoat
mical a process as before, and he considered that
was doing a great iejteetice to the suitor. The attorney'
it now appeared, might charge any amount of costa he
pleased to the plaintiff.
Lord CAMPBELL—Bat the costs must be taxed,
The Earl of DERBY—The evil and the injustice
were that the plaintiff, who would be entitled to receive
his costs in a superior court, was not entitled by tb,l„s
interpretation to receive them in the county courts. t:
the superior court these costs were thrown upon t";
defendant who was proved to be in the wrong. Theewere now considering the propriety of extending
tb
jurisdiction of those courts, and surely that was a fitting
time, before that extension was given, to remedy what
was an acknowledged evil.—(Hear.)
Lord BROUGHAM doubted the propriety of intros
dining such an amendment in the present Bill. It WSO
a measure not to extend the power or jurisdiction of th
county courts, but merely to enable the court of Chen;
eery to send certain causes down to these courts echlP
oeherwise would be considered in the Master's Ace'
The Marquis of LANSDOWNE thought when tile
were considering the jurisdiction of these courts AO
W°
bethe right time to make the alteration.
Lord ORAN WORTH thought the case was some 041
difficult to deal with, and admitted that it was a anath?„o
to justice that the defendant by whose wrong the ecti;-__
was brought should not be made to pay the costs. Tbertui
were, however, many costs which should not be Weil,
upon the defendant, which might have arisen from •
plaintiff's default.
Lord CAMPBELL—The Bill was not only for she
extension, but also for the improvement, of these tour
ta'
and the equitable errangeme nt of these courts would WI.
noubtedly be an. improvement.
The Earl ut DERBY certainly thought it
advisable to inttoduce a clause to explain what the thn;
tentions of the Legi.lature were, and not

regulating patents, observed, that under the Bill uf le";
