THE EDINBURGH RE VI_E W. No. CXCV.
We look in vain ter a politic,A article in the cur-
rent number of the Edinburgh—Through the mediutu
of which we might have dettnn ed the hopes and aspi-
redone of the Whigs in regard to the power and pri-
vileges of administration. The confusion consequent
upon the proxitni y of the general election deterred
the blue and. buff organ, we presume, from venturing
upon any remarks that might by possibility have
been construed into v:ords of vaticination. Instead
of criticisms on the state of parties in the United
Kingdom, therefore, we find such papers as that in-
troductory one to the present number, agreeably de-
scriptive of the " Organization of the Police System of
London." Several of the revelations in this article
are of a marvellous character, and such as one might
rather have expected in the lively and brilliant pages of
Dickens's incomparable ly,,riodical. The next contribu-
tion—passing over a merely incidental mention of "The
Thugs, Dacoits, and Police of India," suggested by
Harrington's Analysis of the Bengal Regulations—is
a. historical chapter on " Piedmont," giving a succinct
but complete narrative of the rise and vicissitudes of
the kingdmn of Sardinia. A masterly argument upon
" Dutch Diplomacy and Indian Piracy" pays de-
served tribute to the two great civilizers of the Eas-
tern Archipelago, Sir Stamford Rt.flL2s and Sir
James Brooke—the writer vindicating the I(ejah of
Sarawak from many of the most serious charges di-
rected against him by the depreciators of his &-
serveily high reputation. A review of the recently
published " Life and Letters of Niebuhr" is followed
by one on the memoirs of the " Marquis of Rock-
ingham and his Contemporariei." The last-men-
tioned criticism will be found to abound
with sparkling and delightful anecdotes in
reference to many illustrious personages. Possibly
the most important paper in the Edinburgh for the
current quarter, is the one relating to the condition of
" English Agriculture in 1852"—an argument in
which the reviewer comments at large upon the effects
of the Protectionist agitation, upon the improvements
around the fens, upon the farmers' grievances in Suf-
folk, upon the changes induced by steam in the culti-
vation of the soil, and urn a variety of other curious
matters relating to the system of agricultural econo-
my. Upon the " Lives of Lord Clarendon's Friends,"
another reviewer has subsequently proved himself ad-
mirably well informed. An examination of " The
Oxford University Report" completes the present
number of the Edinburgh with a boldly written
article upon the subject at " Oar Defensive Arma-
ment." The perfectly apparent possibility of in-
vasion is insisted upon by. the Edinburgh reviewer
in the argument last- mentioned, and, satisfied upon
this point, be exults even in the little done by the
present Cabinet in the way of precautionary regula-
tion. "It is better to do little," says the writer,
" than to do nothing." No magazine article, by the
way, could scarcely be more enthralling than that
episode in the opening contribution to the current in-
stalment of the Edinburgh, descriptive of the Hol-
ford-house burglary, and the discovery of the gang
through the ingenious devices of the detective officers
in the Police System of London.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
TlMS.—Druala n Burnaby hiccupping out e eulogy
upon temperence from under a whiskey cask would
eff rd sorastsvhat of a peretlel to the case of an Irish
R :man Catholic priest, who et the close of the recent
elections should stated forth to deliver a lecture upon the
iniquity of interference with the voters'. rights. An
enrede'sa however, told of Sheridan in one of Byron's
diaries may serve as a yet apter illustration of our raeen-
iota This worthy was returning home late one night
from the Beef-steak Club,. or some such place of convi-
vial assemblage—gloriously drunk of course. He stum-

A Dogberry of those days came up and tried to fled out.
who this four-bottle unfortunate might be, that he
might convey him home to his lodgings. Sheridan was
lost to all consciousness but the consciousness of a joke,
and so he menaced to stammer out in reply. " My
name's Wil-Wil Wilberforce!" and so fell asleep. Al-
though we can scarcely give them credit for acting a
similar fib merely from the sense of the ridiculous, this
is just the- conduct of the Irish Roman Catholic
priesthood. They come forward from the midst of
the broken bludgeons which they themselves had set in
action, and from amidst the hrickbats which they had
caused to be hurled against any voter who might oppose
their soveregn will to preach purity of election and to
denounce the infamy of any person who may venture to
interfere with the voter's independence. These are the
men who have celled up their parishioners to the altar
in the sight of the congregation, and have thrust into
their reluctant hands tickets inscribed with the name
of the inevitable candidate. These are the men who have
caused voters in one place to be spirited away, and kept
in rigorous confinement, and in another have denounced
them to the indignation of the public, when that public
was composed of a gang of frantic Irishmen, with whis-
key iu their heads, and bludgeons in their hands, pre-
pared, at the slightest signal from their spiritual
directors, to fell their opponents to the earth and to
dance upon their prostate bodies. These purists of con-
' stitutionul government are the men who, after having
exhausted all temporal punishments against the lives
and property of such voters as they could not coerce into

Irish Roman Catholic priests during thtoe
a othe progress of the
late elections! We earnestly wish that there were a
word of hyperbole or exaggeration in all this, but we
have over and over again laid the proofs of these asser-
tions before our readers. Until yesterday we had
not any signal instance of an Irish priest who
had sufficient impudence to come forward and de-
liver a lecture to others upon the propriety of
respecting the voter's independence. We have
one at last, who rejoices in the appropriate name of
Michael Coghlan—the bottleholder of the Liberal can-
didates during the late contest for Westmeath. This
worthy, as it would appear, hung up his bludgeon,
wiped the sweat of the battle off his brow, and sat down
to endite an epistle to Mr. W. B. Smythe, a neighbour-
ing proprietor. The priest tells the landlord he has
just heard it is in contemplation among the owners of
land to exterminate the Roman Catholic tenants be-
cause they would not consent to surrender their faith.
" Verily, you Protestants," he writes, " have a strange
way of showing yourselves followers of a meek and
merciful Redeemer, or of satisfying any discerning mind
that malice, and not love, is your characteristic.' The
peaceful preacher—no doubt, with a sly glance upwards
at the well-notched bludgeons—proceeds to suggest that
if Mr. Smythe and his friends, out of their natural
taste for bloodshed aed slaughter, were to appoint a day
for a general battue of their Roman Catholic
tenants, the innocent fledglings would suffer them-
selves to be quietly bagged rather than record
a vote in favour of a Derby candidate. lie then
concludes, "You seem to expect that your tenants
owe you, besides the toil of their bodies, and the sweat
of their brows, and their rents, their souls to boot. So
that your idea of a tenant is, that•he should be the slave
of a taskmaster, have no free will, and go body and soul
to the Devil if his landlord tells him so to do. What
can we say of Protestantism after this?" To this query
Mr. W. B. Smythe quietly replies by denying the pre-
mises of tho peaceful Michael, who, when last seen by
his correspondent, was at the head of a bludgeon-armed
mob endeavouring to terrify all opponents. He declines
to enter upon that large field of polemics suggested by
Mr. Coghlan's final question, but comes at once to the
point at issue with regard to the contemplated extermi-
nation of the Roman Catholic tenantry. With regard
to this poin', the landlord very pungently remarks—
"lf you ever received the information alleged, you
know in your heart you do not believe it." But then
Mr. Smythe supplies us with the motive of this
charge. He writes to the truth and peace-loving
Michael—" You have gratuitously and arrogantly
taken upon yourself the office of upbraiding me
with a manifestation of the most unchristian feeling,
with the subtle intention of henceforward ascribing every
proceeding I may have to direct against a delimiting
tenant to the spirit of religious persecution." This is an
old story with such as Coghlan. Whenever an Irishman
suffers any inconvenience from his refusel or inability to
pay a just debt it is a simple matter to call it " persecu-
tion," and to roar out to the human race at large that
he is called in question on account of the Pope of Rome
or Prester John, or last year's snow, or for any cause in
tact but the simple non-payment of 2/. 10s. 4d., for which
shore
amount he was liable to John Doe. But we must
follow Mr. Smythe's letter a little further. It seems
that the meek Michael is the practical assailant. His
little pastoral is a mere ruse de guerre to lull his oppo-
nents into a fancied security, that he may then fall
upon them unawares. "I, too, have been informed
(but I believe it) that there is an intention on
she part of some of your flock to gratify their
fiendish and avowed malice against all who voted for Sir
Richard Levinge about here, and against all Protest-
ants." In point of fact, if the landlords of Westmeath
are engaged at all in hostile operations against their te-
nants, it is with them a defensive and not an offensive
war. But, when we come to the conclusion of Mr.
Smythe's answer to this meek shepherd, we find him
threatening him and his with measures of retaliation
which might well call up a smile, were not the conse-
quences of this antagonism of such serious importance
to the country. For every outrage committed against a
Protestant or a Levinge-voter, Mr. Smythe announces
his determination to extrude one Roman Catholic tenant
from his estate. Between the priest and the landlord
our poor Irish fellow-subjects must have a nice time of
it. Bludgeoned and stoned by each other, evicted by
their landlords, and damned by their priests. Ireland
cannot be an Elysium to a tenant-farmer. Is it won-
derful that they should seek to shake off the dust from
their feet, and to escape betimes from such a Gehenna ?

THE QUARTERLY REVIEW.
No. CLXXXI.

A pleasant contribution, suggested by an agreelble
volume so entitled, expatiates upon the beauties of
" Art and Nature under an Italian Sky"--and so, as
with a sunburst, opens the current number of the
old Quarterly. Although 6 private individual, and
although as such the publisher, through the medium of
his" History of the War of Affghanistan," of official do-
cuments, Mr. Kaye comes in for some words of warm
and not undeserved commendation from one of the
ablest and evidently not the most easily pleased of
the reviewers. A political paper on poor Ireland—
anent the " New Reformation," as it is called—fol-
lows, and the very bilious complexion of the
argument may be conjectured, shined upon
as it must have been throughout by the ca-
daverous and somewhat sinister visage of a
downright Orangeman. The next article is a curi-
osity. It throws a new and wholly unexpected light
upon the history of the Great Napoleon. The writer
of this article, it seems, has been favoured with a view
of the memoirs or autobiography of Count Mollien,
still in manuscript. Count Mollien was during
several years the Finance Minister under the French
Emperor, and his revelations--by no means those of
a partiz in, and in the present instance filtered, re-
member, through the anti-Bonapartist medium of the
Qttarterly—reveals in a wondrous manner the scope
of the master mind of the French Sesostris in a
wholly new department. Napoleon appears here be-
fore the world as a perfect master of the details of
finance. His industry in the conduct of this vast por-
tion of the machinery of his government aQ, shown by
Mollien, and here quoted by the Quarterly, is too
wonderful not to be borne in especial recollection.
Count Mollien says—

•` It would it deed have been .difficult for any of the
Miristers of Napoleon not to communicate their plans
to him, which were always minutely discussed before
they received his final sanction; for though he lett to them
the choice of means of execution, he chose that every
improvement should seem to be his own work. His sud-
den elevation rendered it a matter of policy with him to
delegate as little as possible of his public authority, so
as to remain always and everywhere the man of neces-
sity. Napoleon carried on long and divers correspond-
ences. It they were all collected it would be incredible
that any single man could have sufficed to do so much;
and in each of thew he proved that no entered into every
subject and every circumstance as if he had nothing else
to think of, sclaping rules and principles to his own
paramount interest in forcing the most opposite elements
to combine in his system. But in these correspondences
none proves more thoroughly the patience with Which
he investigated the most arid detail., than that which he
carried on with myself. It is perhaps the most singular
polemigue de chiffres that ever existed. I frequently in
ice early period of my Ministry received letters of many
pages, solely intended to anal) za long calculations, to
investigate statements, to divide statistics, and to present
the same results under other forms. The principal ob-
j ect of these discussions was to keep alt his chief ser-
%ants in perpetual distrust of themselves and of their
subordinates: he bad no longer to dispute the superiority
of power, but he disputed with every one the superiority
of attainments."—Vol. ii., p. 42..
Immediately after this contribution we find a review,
all things considered, marvellously generous and
genial, of " Lord Cockburn's Life of Jeffrey." The
contribution abounds with amusing anecdotes—such
as that where it is mentioned how Burns was once
upon a time seen by Jeffrey striding over the flag-
stones of " auld Edinbro :"

"Jeffrey, when about sixteen or seventeen, was struck
by the stalwart appearance of a passing stranger, and
stopped to take a better look of him. A shopkeeper.
standing at his door near the Cross, said, ` Ay, look well,
laddie, that's R3bert Burns.' "

GREAT FIRE IN CLERKENWELL.
Oae of the most extensive conflagrations that has
occurred for a considerable time past in the neighbour-
hood of Clerkenwell, broke out this (Thursday) morning
in the spacious factory belonging to Messrs. Kanuth and
Co., English, French, and German leather and steel
goods dealers, situate at No. 7, Allen-street, Goswell-
street.
Theabneatarea
police building in which the disaster originated was of
great width, and extended backwards as far as the end
of Messrs. Walker's steam saw-mills. The whole covered

caused a general turn out of the engines, itohf
England Ineurance-effice started to the spot, the fir
men being guided solely by the intense light in the at
mosphere.
In the course of a few minutes Mr. Braidwoocl, the
superintendent, and Mr. Coll, the foreman of the brigade,
arrived with numerous engines of the establishment, and
were followed by Mr. Connorton with the West of Eng.
and Brigade. The Royal Society's fire escapes were
also remarkably quick in arriving.
By the time the engines could be got fairly into work-
ing order the destructive element had taken a clean
sweep through Messrs. Kanute'e premises, and had
worked their way into Messrs. Walker's saw-mills.
The firemen, under the direction of their superior offi-
cers, at once brought the hose from their respective en-
gines to bear upon the mill, and also on the houses facing
the blazing pile in Allen-street, so as toprevent if pos-
sible any further spread of the flames. Every one ex-
erted himself to the utmost, and by a little after two
o'clock, something like an hour after the discovery was
made, complete mastery was obtained over this fearful
conflagration, but a considerable body of fire remained
in the ruins at that time, which is not likely to be ex-
tinguished for sown hours.
Tiau property destroyed must, at a moderate calcu-
lation, reach to some thousand pounds, for the whole of
Messrs. Kauuth's property is reduced to ruins, and, un-
fortunately, the firm was insured for only 2,4001. 'The
1V 'ncipal portion of the saw-mills of Messrs. Walker is
likewise consumed, and serious damage has been done

FLEET OFLAGA. JULY 22.
; Hi g hfl ere 24,
The Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, to the
Capiaia Robinson;
Dauntless, 33, screw, Captain Halsted
screw, Captain Matson; and Encounter, 14, scyrew, Cap-
tain Gordon, joined the fleet off Malaga on the 15th of
July. On the 17th, there being a stiff breeze, the above
steamers and the following ships started with single'
reefed topsoils on a trial of sailing :—Albion, 90, Captain
Luahington; Bellerophon, 78, Captain Lord G. Patitett
Vengeance, 84, Captain Lord E. Russell; Indefatigable,
50, Captain Smart; and Phaeton, 50, Captain G. Elliot.
They first ran to leeward, under
the stern of the Tra-
falgar, 120, Captain Greville, and they hauled to the
wind, end one long tack brought thorn on the weather
beam of the Admiral, in the Britannia, 120, Captain
Phaeton, Rigs flyer, Indefatigable,

Encounter, Vengeance, Bellerophon, Albion, Dauntless,
Arrogant. The Vengeance should have come in se-
cond,
but she mistook the Terrible for the flag ship, and
standing on tctelong, had, when she found out her mis-
take, to keep away a point. Albion split her main end
mizentcpsails, as did the Vengeance her jib. These
were the only casualdes aloft. Arrogant gut on shore
coming out of. Lieben, and it is said has knocked off her
false keel. This accounts for her being last.
A letter from the squadron says—
,' The sailing qualities of our proper squadron stands
thus:—First, and without a competitor, stands Phaeton,
or Wind's .eye, as she is commonly called, then Ven-
geance, Indefatigable, Bellerophon, Albion, and Trafal-
gar, always astern and to leeward—and frequently out
of sight; this is a real misfortune, for she is a noble
ship, audit is admitted that she is well handled; Bri-
tannia seems to sail fairly, but she has had no trial with
the other ships.
" The system of exercise is much as usual in routine,
with some hurry and confusion, but then there is not so
much of it, and doubtless when the Admiral is familiar
with the state of all the ships, he will relax this teasing
system, in which accidents are frequently occurring, and
in three instances, it is believed, have terminated fatally.
It is reported that Mr. Stafford, the Secretary to the
Admiralty, is coming to the fleet for a short cruise; a
steamer is to go to Marseilles for him.
~ It is quite true that in the gale in February the
Vengeance lost a forecastle gun overboard. It could
only be accounted for by supposing that the forelocks
had worked out of the trunnion clamps. The breaching
held it, but it was obliged to be cut away to save the
ship's side. At.the same time a lower-deck gun broke
loose, but it was secured before it did much mischief.
The ship was .lurching heavily at the time; the indicator
under the poop marked 48.
Another trial of sailing took place on the 19th July,
when the whole fleet formed a line abreast, and ran be-
fore the wind. Vengeance showed the least canvas,
Highflyer next; both had their topsails lowered on the
caps, but the latter had a jib set; the breeze was not
very strong, and might have failed occasionally at the
extreme ends of the line. Poor Trafalgar, ' Old Granny,'
had to set studding-sails lbw and aloft to keep her place.
The admiral has very properly issued some stringent
orders respecting the officers of the watch. Since
leaving Gibraltar on the 7th we have been off Malaga,
and have had one supply of bullocks; we expect
to be at Tetuan the end of the month to water
the fleet. Tne admiral has a good-humoured man-
ner, and has made a most favourable impression on all
hands.
' "July 19, Arrogant has gone into Malaga, with divers,
to examine her. bottom.
"The appearance of the fleet at Port Mahon did not
give satisfaction; there was a marked coolness on the
part of the authorities, to be accounted for,,no doubt on
political grounds." ,
Gibraltar has.become one of the dullest places in the
world, and also one of the dearest; steam has nearly
stopped the smuggling into Spain, and the prosperity of
the rock has consequently ceased.—Herald.

trary and artificial,
startling a consequence, and pos-
siblybeing prepared for so
such a recommendation to be within
not conceiving
ted to them, the Commissioners drew
the powers entrusted andbe raised on their rudirvsi,sio
from their first recommendation, and retained the tech-
nicalities whose abolition they had recommended. Their
second principle was that a technical system of pleading
was necessary,
and this they have carried out by b
re-
trenching many absurdities and superfluities, and by
substituting for them new forms of their own; though
in this respect also they have, probably in deference to
the criticisms of the press, abandoned considerably
more than half of the alterations recommended in their
report and suggested in their Bill. A third principle
was to abolish the fictions of the action of ejectment,
and to substitute for it a proceeding less encumbered
with absurdities. This was right. We have no love for
John Doe and Richard Roe, though we must admit that
these dethroned potentates have prevented much evil,
and have been not the least valuable legacies of
Oliver Cromwell's Government. But under a
law-reforming Parliament it is unnecessary to
correct by fiction evils which can be removed
by enactment, and from the time when real actions were
abolished these legal goblins were required on earth no
more. With the exception, of this alteration, however,
the new action of ejectment is no improvement on the
old one. Parties will still go to trial ignorant of each
other's cases, and liable to surprise and error from
being suddenly called on to deal with the most difficult
questions known to the law.
Such is the plan of the Common Law Commissioners.
The Law Amendment Society start from the same point
as the Commissioners, that forms of action ought to bo
abolished, and, finding that this cannot be done without
the fusion of law and equity, they recommended that
fusion as not only good in itself, but as the only means
by which a real reform of common law procedure can be
obtained. In their view, technical pleadings ought to be
abolished, and informal statements couched in ordinary
for them. They deny that a system free from
language and verified by the oaths of the parties substi-
tuted
technicality can ever be made to conforni to the techni-
cal divisions of the common law, and they do not be-
lieve that the spirit of the present age will long endure
the expense, the delays, and the absurdities incident to
a system which insists that parties shall express them-
selves in a court of justice in language different from
that employed in politics and business, or in ordinary
life.
Having thus, as fairly as we can, stated the merits of
this controversy, we must say, that in comprehensive-
ness of view, as well as in soundness of argument, the
scale seems to preponderate in favour of the Law
Amendment Society, and we greatly fear that their an-
ticipations of disappointment from the measure so ex-
ultingly claimed for Lord Derby by his adherents may
be realized, and that we may shortly see them as anxious
to hand it over to the Whigs as they now are to engross
its fancied merits themselves. It appears to us that
there is one fair way of deciding the controversy, by a
practical appeal. The procedure of common law, having
received all the amendments deemed necessary, is of
course in a fit condition to encounter and overcome the
opposition of the County Courts. It would have been
unfair to have exposed the common law courts to this
competition while they were under the disadvantage of
antiquated forms and obsolete technicalities. These, we
are told, are now removed, and therefore the common
law courts aro in a position to stand their own ground
without relying on monopoly guaranteed by Act of
Parliament. There can, therefore, we presume, be no
longer any objection to giving the County Courts con-
current jurisdiction to any amount. If the common law
courts retain their business, this will be a conclusive
proof that the Commissioners are right, and the Law
Amendment Society wrong. If the business is trans-
ferred to the County Courts, it will clearly show that
the remedy of the Commissioners is inadequate to the
s
occasion, and that the access of the people to cheap and
peedy justice ought no longer to be delayed in the vain
hope that Westminster-hall will efficiently reform itself.

EXTRAORDINARY SUICIDE.—A painful sensation
prevailed during yesterday in the vicinity of Covent-garden,
in consequence of a report being circulated that Mr. H.
Snowden, the proprietor of the dining-rooms in Maiden-lane,
had committed self-destruction. It appears that about four
o'clock in the morning the unfortunate man got up, and
told his wife that he was going to market. She expostu-
lated with him, and told him it was too soon. He, however,
replied that he should go and see, and if it was too early lie
would come to bed again. He then left the room, and no-
thing more was seen of him until one of the men servants went
w
into the kitchen, where he as astonished at perceiving a
man's legs sticking out of the water cistern, and upon
making a more minute examination he foundthat his master
had precipitated himself head foremost into the cistern,
which contained only about three feet of water. Assistance'
having been obtained, he was pulled out, and a medical gen-
tleman sent for, but his attendance was of no avail, as life
was quite extinct. What could have induced the deceased
to destroy himself is a perfect mystery. lie went to bed the
previous night in his usual excellent state of health and
spirits, and was about the last person his friends would have
expected to commit suicide.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
BRIGHTON RACES.—WEDNESDAY.
The programme of this meeting. published on Thurs-
' day, and the vast number of horses congregated in the
town that evening, to compete for prizes that in value
and importanc'e spoke volumes for the liberality and
judgment of the management, led to anticipations with
reference to the sport that, so far, have been realised to
the fullest extent. Such a day's racing has never been
witnessed on Brighton Downs, and it is satisfactory to
be enabled to add that there is every prospect of the
second and third day being equally good. The weather
—agreeably disappointing the fears engendered by the
heavy rains on Tuesday afternoon—turned outettremely
fine; the company:inconsequence was large and fashion-
able, and the grand stand, which has been greatly im-
proved by the addition of a commodious suite of rooms
for the transaction of the business of the course (includ-
ing one for the reporters), crowded. The opening, in
short, was worthy of the Queen of watering-places.
We are bound to add, however, that the late hoar at
which the races commeeced, a quarter before three, was
very generally disapproved; and that the half-hour in-
tervals rendered it impossible to keep time, and caused
the sports to be protracted until nearly seven o'clock.
The following is a return of the day's racing:—
