LONDON, WEDNESDAY

mittees on law and equity proceedings have not only
presented three reports, recommending several mea-
sures for legislative adoption, but have put forward the
outlines of a code by which this great alteration might
be effected.

On the re-construction of the Master's office, in-
volving its gradual abolition, the society has ample
cause for self-gratulation, although it was on the
12th of January lest that the formal resolution was
carried. The Judge-Master question has been for
many years under consideration, and more than
three years since we noticed the admirable articles of
the Law Review, the efficient organ of the
society, on this interesting topic. These
views have since received the Parliamentary
sanction, and we fearlessly assert that but
for the exertions of the society, many years
must have elapsed before that Augean stable would
have been thoroughly purified, and the heart-break-
ingdelays
sandysrtueminoaubsreoxgpaetednd.iture occasioned by the
mischievous
The Common Law Procedure Act is also noticed,
but not in such favourable terms. It effects a de-
cided improvement on the existing system,
but does
not grapple as boldly with the grievances as might
have been anticipated. Some technicalities are got
rid of, but not all. Too many forms are retained,
and there are still many chances of causes being de-
cided on grounds different from their real merits.
Nor is this by any means the worst part of the case.
There is a strong probability, if not an absolute cer-
tainty, that heavy costs must be incurred before the
obscurities and difficulties of the new code be com-
pletely removed. _

The compulsory enfranchisement of copyholds may
also be looked on as in a great degree emanating
from the society, and this we may say,
without in
any degree detracting from the reputation of Lord
ST. LEONARDS, who exerted himself so efficiently to
render the measure then before the House as unob-
jectionable as possible, holding the balance with an
even hand between landlords and tenants, and: giving
due weight to the rights and privileges of all parties
in any degree interested.
The important change effected by the County
Court Extension Act in the position of the bar, was
also strongly advocated, if not originated by the
society, which may well exult in the acceptance of the
resolution, almost unanimously adopted.
We shall look forward hopefully to the realization
of the other ameliorations suggested, particularly
those relating to the simplification of the transfer of
land, and the esablhhment of a law school, with a
provision for an efilictive examination before granting
a law degree of admiszion to the bar. We may
reasonably anticipate much from the labours of an
aasociation numbering among its members Lords
BuouGaram and CAMPBELL, and many others of the
mcs':, eminent legal reformers of any age or country.

M. PELLETIER has been appointed Chef de Cabinet

The Petrie says it is assured the Government, in
its solicitude for the public interest, is occupied with
ft very important measure for the modification of the
law on pensions in different branches of the public
service. It gives at great length the details of this
measure, which consist of reductions and reforms of
different kinde, but without violation of the principles
of equity and justice, and the granting of pensions
for real services in cases now not provided for.
The Univers, which is the organ of a large portion
of the
terms to the recent trial of A culla.' against NEW-
Roman Catholic clergy, alludes in very strong
MAN; and announces a subscription for the purpose of
indemnifying
the dtfendent for the pecuniary loss that
he bee sustained. The Univers says—
" The English courts of law have supported Achilli
as Etlglish politics support what is bad. Having to
p:ononnce between a holy and learned priest,. who gave
up all the advantages of the world to follow Jesus
Christ, and an apostate Nh o had denied Jesus Christ,
the jurymen o: London have taken part against the
priest and in favour of the apostate. France had long
heard English justice boasted of; she now knows what
it is. Mr. Newman is ruined, he and his congregation.
It will cost him 600,000.. to have proved to all England
that a wretch who defamed the Roman Catholic Church
had been repulsed from the priesthood for the infamy of
his morals. This iniquity has profoundly touched the
heart of cur friends. Several have called on us
to open a subscription for Mr. Newman, to aid
him to pay the cost of his trial. We can, un-
fortunately, only offer him an ()bolus. We have
not amongst us here those fortunes which give a sub-
vention of a million sterling every year for the propaga-
tion of the Bible. But even should that h Iserve
to o us only serve
to buy a stone of the chapel at Birmingham,
testify at least the sympathy of the it would
Roman Catholics of
France for one of the most illustrious of their brethren
in England. At the same time, it would oppose to the
impudent verdict of the London jury that of another
jury, the number and quality of which will not allow
any one to be ignorant on which side justice is to be
found. if there was any need to fix public opinion on
the subject, the first name which we have to mark down
would suffice to do it. The venerable exiled Archbishop
of Turin, having heard that we had some idea of this
subscription, at once sent us his offering."
A Paris letter, in the Independence of Brussels,
says— - -

16 The contract for building the new Crystal Palace,
which will take the name of the Palais Napoleon, has,
is is said, been given to a company represented by two
architects, MM. Vial and Dujardin. This company
will take upon itself all ttie costs. It will have the powtx
of letting the building, and at the time of the exhibi-
tions will treat with the Government for the price. After
a certain period (it is said forty years) the building will
become the property of the State. The works will com-
merce as econ as the definitive concession shall have
mAde."

One of the courts-mrrtial which assembled after
the events of December in the department of the
Nievre condemned to death a man named TROTTET,
alias BEL GEM, alias LA.NICY, for having taken an
active part in tha insurrection at Claunecv, and in the
atrocities which were then committed. This sentence
was quashed for some technical informality. A new
trial took place, aad TROTTI3I was condemned to
transportation with imprisonment. That second sen-
tence was, however, also set aside for irregularity, and
a third trial took place a few days ago before a court-
martial at Clermont. It was proved that the prisoner
was one of the most violent and dangerous of the in..
surgents at Clamecy, and that when arrested he
stabbed and nearly killed a gendarme with a pair of
scissors. The soldiers were sa exasperated against
him that they were disposed to kill him on the spot.
He was stated to be notorious in the town for his bad
character. In his defence he said he was a Repub-
lican. The Court condemned him to be transported,
with imprisonment.

Two men named CERASSE and CUISINIER, who dis-
played the greatest ferocity during the sanguinary
scenes enacted at Clamecy, in December last, and
who bad been condemned to death by the court-
martial, underwent their sentence on Saturday last
in that town. They had appealed against it, but
examination into the circumstances connected with
them only made their guilt more apparent, and they
were left to their fate. A large crowd was present at
the execution, but everything passed off in the most
perfect order.
Yesterday was settling day at the Bourse for railway
shares, and a slight reaction took place in the price of
public securities. The Five per Cents. opened at
105 f. 70c , and closed at 105 E, for the end of the

have sent an address to the Germanic Diet, protest-
ing against the new constitution ; and the German
journals state that they have received confidential as-
surances on the subject from members of the Diet,
who think the constitution illegal because it was
drawn up without the co-operation of the States. It
has been asserted that the Duke of SAXE COBURG
had drawn up a memorial on the subject , but it now
appears he does not intend to make it known until
after the formal decision of the Diet shall be known.
The German journals state that the Princess of
WASA, whose marriage with the PaiNcE PRESIDENT
of the Republic is spoken of, was born in 1833, and
is named CAROLINE. Her father, the Prince Gus-
TAVUS WASA, is, they say, the great grandson of
ADOLPHUS FREDERICK, Duke of Holstein GottorP,
who was declared heir of the Swedish throne on the
3d July, 1743, and became KING on the sth April,
1751. The elder branch of the house of Holstein
Gottoru is represented by the reigning family of Rus-
sia. The

The extent to which steam-navigation has taken

the capital and the picture,que villages situated
along the Bosphorus. The most animated sight,
however, is about six in the evening, when they all
start from the Galata Bridge, and each tries to get

most powerful, arid their steamers (recently built in
England) the best adapted for the Bosphorus ;
but the English boats are by far the most active.

regarding the wording of this document. The French
affect offence with the Turks for having inserted in
the firman that Mr. LAVALETTE is to bo on board.
They contend that such a clause destroys the value
they attach to the paper, and places their national
honour in a false position, and that the Charlemagne

Government steamer he pleases.

EXQUISITE WRITING !
The first leading article in the Morning Herald
of to-day opens thus sweetly and daintily :
"! Bub-a-dub, rub-a•dubr Here comes our friend
