LITER. AT URE.
TEE ADVO CA TB. Ircl. I. By Edward TV. Cox.
C7'Ocl ford.
A remarkable production is here coral-neatest:l.
which if complettd with any ability compatible ta,
that evidenced by the beitial volume—will at once
assume an honourable position as a standard autho-
rity in law literature. The author has admirably
qualified himself for the composition of the work by
tbn'e protracted studies and laborious researches, and
various and extended practice, which could alone
enable him to pronounce upon the subject-matter in
hand with any degree of judgment. There was a
lack of some work of precisely this character.
Whenever an important enterprise in letters is ad-
ventured upon, we know perfectly well that the
critic is sure to discover that hitherto there was ma-
nifestly some extraordinary hiatus in that particular
department. Although liable, therefore, to he charged
with the same cant phrase of the ordinary reviewer,
we must repeat that the volume here submitted to us
for consideration is precisely what has been long re-
quired, and what will consequently be peculiarly'
welcome to the legal bibliographer. Our author un-
dertakes in the course of his present interesting lite-
rary enterprise to specify the exact nature of the
training necessary for the proper education of the
Advocate. He purposes, moreover, to relate the
Practice of the Advocate, the Rights of the Ad-
vocate, and the Duties of the Advocate—a prac-
tice sometimes very complicated, rights al-
ways peculiarly elevated, and duties invariably dis-
tinguished by their responsibility. It must not be
erroneously imagined, nevertheless, that the chapters
constituting this important legal treatise present
attractions solely and exclusively to the professionel
man—to the Attorney or Barrister-at-Law. It is
diametrically otherwise. No one, whatever his pur-
suits, can peruse those chapters without deriving from
them a very considerable amount of information. Mr.
Cox addresses himself to the extraordinary questions
which he has here undertaken to solve with, mani-
festly enough, the fullest appreciation of their
difficulty. As a tolerably clear assurance
that the work will be in no respect super-
ficial, we may mention that the author has
formally dedicated the result of his industry in the
matter to no less distinguished an authority than
Lord Denman. The terms in which this dedication is
couched are honourable alike to the author of the
work and to the eminent man to whom it is inscribed.
"In the performance of this task," says Mr. Cox, "I
have sought to set up the high standard of acquire-
ment and of conduct that has made the bar of Eng-
land, for so many centuries, the nursery of its noblest
and truest gentlemen—the school of its statesmen—
and the profession of those patriots to whose courage,
independence, and honesty, the liberties of the land
have been more than once indebted for their
salvation." This is a lofty and befitting spirit
in which to enter upon the composition of a well-
digested treatise on the training, practice, rights
and duties of the British advocate. It is a mood in
which the members of the English bar will discover
abundant evidence that the writer has understood
the dignity, the value, and the importance of their
common profession. Another source of interest in
the undertaking here commenced is the peculiarity,
and we may even say the actual peril of the positions
in which the advocate is placed at the present junc-
ture. "My Lord," says Mr. Cox, upon this subject,
in one of the most solemn and effective parts
of his able and judicious dedication, 66 I
much fear that the glory of the Bar of
England has departed, that its sun has set,
and that it is doomed to destruction, or to a change of
character and position that will be more lamentable
than destruction." This has reference, of course, to
the extraordinary changes which have recently taken
place in the constitution of the British bar—changes
which do in many respects justify our author in con-
jecturing the possibility of its disorganization.
Whether the treatise before us, however, be regarded
as relating to the past or to the future, it will always
retain its interest as a masterly delineation of the
character long maintained in this country by the
advocate, to his own credit and the advantage also of
the general population. As illustrative, in a rapid
and yet complete and comprehensive manner,
of the elaborate nature of the treatise here
penned by Mr. Cox, we may refer cursorily to the
heads under which its constituent portions are classi-
fied. After a very intelligent introduction, pre-
paring the way for his argument, the author succes-
sively particularises the capacities required in the
advocate, and his various natural, physical, and mental
qualifications. He comments at appropriate length
upon such topics as the " pecuniary resources," the
" will and courage," as well as upon the moral, in-
tellectual, and physical "training" of the advocate.
Under the division referring to the moral training, he
devotes one chapter to the consideration of "practical
morals." Under the division referring to physical
training, he dedicates another chapter to
the " art of speaking." While under the more
complex division referring to the intellectual training,
he enters more at large into the subject of the re-
sponse by successive passages, informing the student
specifically how to study, how to read, what to read,
explaining the nature of professional studies, the ad-
vantage of studies that educate, and the benefit of
studies for information. During the course of the
chapter upon the last mentioned theme, Mr. Cox re-
veals a capacity for the systematising of human know-
ledge, entitled, we conceive, to the very highest and
treatiseot pe s
o
most ardent admiration. A happier illustration of his
sluciditypos-

writero
which immediately follows the supposition his
sf
whose mind is a blank being suddenly a person
awakened to
sensation with the capability and desire ofreceiving
instruction. Here follows his grand and elevating
argument. He says this man would inevitatbly, on
first looking about him, inquire " Where am I?"
Contemplating himself—" his form so curious and his
feelings so strange"—he would next inquire—" What
am I?" After which, meditating upon the world
within and without, striving instinctively to penetrate
the " mystery of existence"—he would inquire " Why
am I?" Under the replies accorded to these three
inquiries, says our author, will be found arrayed in
their natural order the " entire circle of human
knowledge." The thought is wonderfully ingenious,
and we conceive also wonderfully admirable. 6` Stu-
dying upon a ball that rolls in infinite space, a part of
a planetary system, itself a part of another system, the
individual already supposed to have awakened to con-
sciousness would find in answer to his first inquiry
Where am I?' that Astronomy teaches the relation of
this globe to the rest of creation—Geology, the past
history of the earth—Geography, the aspect of its sur-
face—Chemistry and Mineralogy, its composition—
Botany, the vegetation clothing it—Natural History,
the living creatures inhabiting it—Meteorology, its
atmosphere—Electricity and Galvanism and Magnet-
ism, the subtle fluids by which its whole mass is per-
meated—Mechanics and Hydrostatics, and Hydrody-
namics, the laws of motion and not as the result of
gravitation. In answer to his second inquiry,
What am .1" ?' this man would next learn from
Anatomy, the mechanism of the human frame ; from
Physiology, its functions; from Mental Philosophy,
the anatomy and physiology of the mind, building up
the golden framework of Metaphysics ; while, from
the relationship of this mind and body with
the external world, he would find revealed
through Optics the science of sight—through Aeons-
tics the science of sound—through Mathematics and
Geometry the appreciation of space in all its form
and amplitude—through Arithmetic the notion of
numbers—through Grammar and Logic the faculty
of thought—through Rhetoric and Languages the
capacity of speech—through the Fine Arts the sense
of the beautiful—through the Useful Arts the inge-
nuity of construction. Finally, from the replies eli-
cited by the third and loftiest query, Why am I '
the imaginary inquirer would (says our author) be
conducted successively to Moral Philosophy, to Poli-
tical Philosophy, and to Religion—to Moral Philo-
sophy showing the relation of man to man as indi-
viduals—to Political Philosophy as revealing the
duties and relationship of men as members of
the community—and ultimately to the noblest study
of all that can be conceived by the human intellect,
to Religion, disclosing the relation actually existing
between man and his Omnipotent Creator." In this
really masterly arrangement of human knowledge, we
recognise a scope and capacity in our author's intel-
lect very greatly elevated above the generality. Re-
member, moreover, that, in referring to this portion
of the treatise we are alluding to one of the most
incidental in character. Possibly for that very rea-
son, however, it may be the most judiciously ac-
cepted as an illustration of the remarkable ability
shown by Mr. Cox in the volume of his new work
on " The Advocate."

ARTIFICIAL
PRODUCTION OF FISH.
An account was given a short time ago of the dis-
!°very of the means of producing fresh water fish to
aA immense extent, by preserving the eggs of the
male and applying to them, at the suitable time,
the
Lunt of the male •, and it was stated that an exten-
'•
e application of the system had already been made
,
most extraordinary success in numerous rivers
and streams in different parts of France. The French
c''lrlaraent, in order to increase the food of the
people, and to create a new branch of commerce, has
r
avesolved still further to extend the application of the
stem ; and it has directed several eminent scientific
eiarilretnen to occupy themselves with it, and espe-
wat Yto ascertain whether it can be applied to salt
its instructions,
as well as to fresh water fish. In execution of
M. Coste, member of the Institute,
and professor of the College de France, has visited an
establish
foment for producing fish near Huningen,

the

,i'iahnot be made to supply all sorts of fish in suffi-
andut, quantities to stock all the rivers, streams, canals,

and he dwells on the importance to the country of in-
ofeal‘sing the production of that and other descriptions

C'rnerce, has also addressed a report to the Minister,

mends that the 30,000 f. demanded by M. Coate for

AMERICAN NEWS.

LIVERPOOL, 11.10NDAY.—By the Royal Mail steam-
ship America, Shannon commander, we have advices
from New York. to the 3d inst., and Boston to the
4th. She has 152,000 dollars in specie on freight.
The America sailed from Boston at noon cn the 4th
inst., and at 2.20 A.M. on the sth passed the steam-
ship Niagara, hence for Boston ; at 1.20 A.M. on the
Wh the America grounded going up Halifax Harbour,
but so slightly as to be scarcely perceptible. She
arrived at Halifax at noon on the Gth, and at 5.17
P.M. again proceeded to sea, having been detained 33
hours by the Admiral on the station. She came
north about," and arrived in the Mersey at a
quar-
ter past twelve to-day.
The America will go into the graving dock to-
morrow, for examination, and will sail at her ap-
pointed time on Saturday.
The steamship Hermann arrived at New York,
from Southampton, on the 31 ; and the steam-ship
Niagara, hence for Boston, arrived at Halifax on
the 31.
The steam-ship Asia, hence for new York, was
passed at ten A.M. yesterday, 285 miles from Liver-
pool.
The steam-ship Ohio had arrived at New York
• from Aspenwall, with 219,299 dolls. in specie on
freight, and 100,000 dolls, in the hands of pas-
sengers.
Congress was to adjourn on tEe 31st of August,
whether the public business WAS done or not.
In the Senate, on the 2d, a message was received
from the President, in answer to Mr. Mason's resolu-
tion calling for information respecting the fisheries,
transmitting a report of the Acting Secretary of
State, and stating that Commander Perry, with the
steam-frigate Mississippi, had been dispatched there
to protect American rights. Mr. Cass moved its re-
ference to the Committee on Foreign Relations. The
greater part of the correspondence accompanying the
message has been printed heretofore, as it embraces
all that has taken place on the subject since 1823,
a large part of which was sent to the Senate in
February, 1845. The following letter is, however,
interesting:—

Ns. CRAMPTON TO SIR. WEBSTER.
" Washington, July 5.
" Sir,—l have been directed by her Majesty's Govern-
ment to bring to the knowledge of the Government of
the United States a measure which has been adopted by
her Majesty's Government to prevent a repetition of the
complaints which have so frequently been made of the
encroachment of vessels belonging to citizens of the
United States and of France upon the fishing grounds
reserved by the convention of 1818. Urgent representa-
tions having been addressed to her Majesty's Govern-
ment by the Governments of the North American pro-
vinces in regard to these encroachments, whereby the
colonial fisheries are most seriously prejudiced, directions
have been given by the Lords of her Majesty's Admiralty
for stationing off New Brunswick, Prince Edward's Is-
land, and in the Gulf of St. Lawrence, such a force of
small sailing vessels and steamers as shall be deemed suf-
ficient to prevent the infraction of the treaty. It is the
command of the Queen that the officers employed should
be specially enjoined to avoid all interference with ves-
sels of all friendly Powers except where they are vio-
lating the treaty, and upon all occasions to avoid giving
grounds of complaint by harsh or unnecessary proceed-
ings where circumstances compel their arrest or seizure.
" I avail myself of this opportunity to renew to you
the assurance of my high consideration.
" JNO. F. CRAMPTON."
Acting Secretary Hunter, under date of July 6,
acknowledged the receipt of this note.
Mr. Cass addressed the Senate for more than an
hour in examination of the treaty of 1818, and in
reading from the Instructions and correspondence of
the Commissioners who negotiated that treaty, as
well as the correspondence between the British Com-
missioner and Minister upon the subject, showing
that the British construction was wholly untenable.
He contended that the American construction was
the proper one. lie alluded to the importance of the
interests engaged in the fisheries, and strenuously
urged that they should be protected by all the
power of the United States if necessary. He re-
garded the movement of Great Britain as most ex-
traordinary. Mr. Davis said his opinion, expressed
some time since, that there was no cause for alarm,
and that no war would grow out of this matter, was
still unchanged. Still he considered there was much
in it of an irritating and vexatious character. He
had listened to the Senator from Michigan with
much pleasure. Incidentally connected with the
matter was the question of reciprocity. He now
protested against any settlement of the reciprocity
question by treaty. He would never yield that ques-
tion to be determined by negotiation. He did not be-
lieve Congress would consent to yield the control of
the revenues of the country to the treaty making
power. One year the wants of the Government
would require a revenue of 40,000,000 dollars, and
the next year 80,000,000 dollars, perhaps, would be
necessary. While events were so uncertain the
question of the revenue of the country should never
be placed beyond the power of Congress. It would
never do to limit by treaty the revenues of the
nation. To do so would be an encroachment
upon the fundamental
principles of the Constitu-
tion. So jealous was the Constitution thet it would
not permit the Senate in its legislative capacity
to originate money Bills. Should such a treaty
come to the Senate, it
Would never meet with his
approbation. He considered this movement on the
part of Great Britain as intended as a stroke of policy
which might result as a dangerous one, and the colo-
nies might perhaps find out that the object they had
in view was not to be advanced by it. He then
examined the question of right, and pronounced the
construction passed on the treaty by Great Britain as
altogether erroneous. He did not think a war would
grow out of this. He did not think Great Britain
wanted a war, but if she did she could have it. He
would never surrender any right to her. Mr. Hamlin,
followed in a critical examination of the treaty, and'
of the correspondence at the time of its negotiation._
He maintained that the American interpretation of
the treaty of 1818 was correct, and that it was 5n5".
tained by all the authorities. He considered that the
conduct of Great Britain could not be submitted to
without disgrace and dishonour. He had
eluded when the subject was postponed.
The newspapers are much more moderate in their
tone when discussing the fisheries' question, and thie
excitement appears to have abated considerab y
throughout the Union.

THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO BELGIUM
DOVER, AUG. 16.
The royal Yachts have passed down the Channel,
hugging the French coast. They were about seven
miles southward of Dover at 3.15 r.rd.
No salute was fired, the squadron being too far
from the Dover shore.
The weather thick, wind moderate, but freshening.
A distressing accident occurred on board the Ra-
vensbourne, from Antwerp, one of the General Steam
Navigation Company's vessels, while saluting the
royal yacht on passing. An old man-of-war's man,
John Castles, and who has been for many years in the
service of the company, was employed in firing the
signal carronade, when, upon the seeond discharge,
owing to the explosion of the cartridge while in the act
of ramming it home, one of the poor fellow's hands, with
the thumb and a portion of the other hand, were blown
off, his wrist and arm were frightfully shattered, and
several severe injuries were inflicted upon his face and
other parts of his person. The cause of the accident
appears to have arisen from not exercising sufficient
caution with respect to the closing of the vent hole.
The carpenter, who was engaged in closg the vent,
did not, it is said, sufficiently cover it with his thumb,
and was at the time of the explosion also severely in-
jured in his hand. Both the sufferers were conveyed
on board her Majesty's ship Retribution, where pro-
per surgical assistance was readily afforded. The
carpenter's wound was immediately dressed, and he
returned to his own vessel. The gunner was taken
into the cockpit, where the lion. Captain Drummond
stated that every possible attention should be paid to the
poor man, and that if well enough to be removed, he
should he landed at Spithead or some other place, where
he would receive every assistance. The accident excited a
strong feeling of interest among, and threw a gloom
over, the passengers and crew of the Ravensbourne.

circumstances under which the accident took place—
the sufferer being upwards of sixty years of age, and
having a wife and large family dependent upon him
for support—induced the passengers, before sending
the poor fellow on board the frigate, to commence a
subscription for his benefit, and in the short space of
about a quarter of an hour a sum of 201. was col-

" Captain Pope is in daily expectation of receiving

favourably to furnish results in interest and importanca
far transcending any hithc•rto brought to the knowled e
of the country. Should it be found practicable for car-
riagesg and a railroad, two marked advantages over the
South pass will at once present themselves. In the first
place, the distance to the Pacific is shortened by some
700 or 800 miles; and secondly, the winters are so mild
in this latitude as to make it certain that from natural
causes no impediment to travel would exist at any season
of the ,ear."
We have advices from the city of Mexico to the

siderable loss.

THE AMERICAN FISHERIES.

the
ee
atdispute on the subject of the North American fisheries
—a dispute, we may observe, that has been treated
much more seriously in newspaper controversy and hus-
tings speeches than in the communications of the British
and American Governments. The terms on which the
matter is likely, we may say, certain, to be adjusted are
extremely simple, and as it will be seen perfectly equit-
able. They are terms of absolute reciprocity, as far as
the right of fishing is concerned. The Americans are
to be at liberty to fish in all British wa-
ters, the British to fish in all American
waters, subject on both sides to the general
law which prohibits the vessels of foreigners to fish
within less than three miles of the shore of any country
to which they do not belong—the three miles to be
measured from the nearest land, without distinction of
bay or open sea. This general law, as we have before
observed, is absolutely necessary for fiscal and police
purposes; and, therefore, there can be nothing offensive
or invidious in its enforcement, whether by British or
American authorities. We may add that, upon a care-
ful review of all that has occurred, the American Go-
vernment acknowledges that no offence has yet been
offered to it, though it slightly conilains that a notice
had not been given by the British Government of its
purpose of protecting the three miles border of the sea
with mere vigilance than before. Such a notice, bow-
ever, upon a further consideration, it has been ad-
mitted, would have been equivocal, if not positively
insulting, as implying a suspicion that the Government
of the United States had connivA. at a contraband
fishery.

DEPARTURE OF THE MAILS FOR THE
CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, CALCUTTA, 6-c.
PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY.—The Lady Jocelyn screw-
steam-ship, Captain N. Stewart, sailed this afternoon
with the mails for St. Vincent's, Sierra Leone, St. Vin-
cent's, Cape of Good Hope, Mauritius, and Calcutta.
This splendid vessel (built by Mr. Mare, our worthy
M.P.), which is a sister ship to the Queen of the South,
resembles her in all internal fitments as well as general
model. Sho arrived here from the river yesterday
morning, and has since been visited by a number of per-
sons taking an interest in naval architecture, all of
whom speak of her in the highest terms, us one of the
most complete specimens of ship-building afloat. The
visitors are warm also in their acknowledgments of the
kindness and attention shown them by Captain Ford,
the company's superintendent, who accompanied the
vessel to this port, and Mr. Laming, the local agent.
In addition to the mails, which are under the charge
of Commander James Bridges, R.N., the Lady Jocelyn
has 200 tons of general cargo and 50,0001. in specie, and
about 50 passengers. Among the latter aro Lieutenant-
Colonel
M'Duff and servant, Mr. and Mrs. Ralph Ar-
diene, the Misses Derom (2), Ensign Egan and Mrs.
Egan, Deputy Assistant Commissary General Allinson,
Mrs. Allinson, and three children; Deputy Assistant
Commissary General Baker, Mrs. Baker, and four chil-
dren, for the Cape. Mr. W. Johnson, Mr. James Scott,
Mr. J. Lambert, Mr. Ogilvie, Mr. and Mrs. Chapman
and two female servants, Miss Chapman and friend, for
the Mauritius. Captain J. P. Coode and Mrs. Coode,
Mr. H. Winch, Mr. and Mrs. Ratcliff, Captain and Mrs.
May and child, Lieutenant Wiscott, and Quartermaster
Daines, for Madras. Mr. Charles Wright, for Ceylon;
and Mr. G. I. Wight, for Calcutta.
During her stay at this port the Lady Jocelyn has
been supplied from the dockyard with one of Porter's
anchors, 42 cwt., and two Brown and Redpath's fire-
hearths, which have been substituted for Grant's cook-
ing apparatus, with which the ship was before supplied.
It is but justice to Mr. Grant to add that in this instance,
as in that of the Queen of the South, his apparatus,
