SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

The circumstance of Lady'Ellenborough having
set up no defence against the Divorce Bill, and that
her family took no part in those tedious and, unfor•s; ---
tunate discussions; has given rise to .an 'erroneous
, .
suppo4Potethat their non-interference arose from' a
promise of marriage given by Prince Schwartzens
berg, and that in the event of the divorce being ac-
complished, their union would not fail to take place
immediately. It is in. our -power, and we deem it
our duty, to put the fact in its true light. •It is
highly impiobable—indeed impossible—that the
Prince should have made any promise of marriage to
Lady Ellenborough, since the laws of his country do
not recognize any marriage with a divorced woman
during the life of her husband. The Catholic religion
admits no divorce, properly so called; and unless a
marriage be obsolatelyannulled, to the degree of being
considered never to have existed, the tie is indissol ulsle,
and precludes, during the lives of the parties, the pos-
sibility of either entering into new matrimonial en-
gagements. In countries, although Catholic, where
marriage is regarded as a purely civil contract, the
lawn operate differently; but in Austria., where the
marriage of a Catholic subject is a religious act, and,
can only be regarded as valid in as far as there ex-
ists no canonical hereto its completion, the union of •
Lady Ellenborough and Prince Schwartzenberg can
never be invested with•a legal character,—Titnes.
As Cobbett sinks deepen into his dotage, his faith
in the gullibillity of his countrymen, like that of
other dotards, seems to increase. The whole force
of his remaining intellect appears now directed to
the invention of artifices or trims to conjure mosey
out of the pockets of some -silly persons whom he
has already often deceived. Unable to subsist by
his labour, either of hand or pee,—unable to get on,
either by becoming resurrection-man or carcass- •
butcher, farmer or lecturing mountebank, he sends
round the begging-box among his friends, or tra-
verses
the country like a mendicant friar, with his
wallet, asking charity,- to get into Parliament.
That his resemblance to the Catholic begging. bro-
ther may be more complete, he promises to his cha-
ritable COTltribut ors relief from all t heir iiolitieal suffer-
ings, as his prototype promises relief from the pains
of purgatory. The last scheme of FriarColibett
for raising the wind is even more amusing than
his attempt to raise money on Toni Paine 's
skeleton or hair, by exhibiting the one or adorn,
ing rings with the other. Ile proposes a subscrip-

attempt any antic more diverting. The .burnout
of the proposition is greatly increased by the air of
seriousness with which it-is made. le is Liston •

grammatically,—that he he has not been made rich by

It is stated in a German Paper, the best informed

chief obstacles which occurred to delay the final ea.'
rangement of Greek affairs between the Allies and
Prince Leopold, was a difference respecting the .

Having frequently alluded to the barbarous and
expensive fictions of what is called spec;al pleading,
as a disgrace to the practice of the law and a grie-
vous hyosition upon suitors, we are glad to find our
view of the subject so ably elucidated and enforced
as it is by the communication of Lord Wynford,
contained in the second report of the Commissioners
on Courts of Common Law. Strong as our lan-
guage has been on this subject, it was not more de-
cided than that of his Lordship, who, from his long
ind great practice as an advocate, and in his judicial
situation, as one of the Judges of the King's Bench,
end subsequently as Chief Justice of the Common
Pleas, had ample oppoi utility of practically estimat-
ing the merits of the system which he so energeti-
cally condemns. His Lordship says, " Such as will
take the trouble of looking through some attorneys'
bills for conducting causes will find that the greatest
part of the expences have been occasioned by the
pleadings and the finding out witnesses, taking
.:hem to and from the places of trial, and keeping them
whilst there. Of course the expence of drawing, co-
pying, engrossing, and filing pleadings, will be di•
minished by shortening those pleadings. The num-
ber of witnesses will be reduced by compelling par-
ties to put on the records what they believe to be
true statements of their respective case. This
will reduce causes to such points as are fOrly
disputable, and render witnesses in all other mat-
ters connected with the cause unnecessary." His
Lordship is then made to refer to the substantial
rules of pleading so highly commended by Lord
Mansfield in Robinson and Bayley, Ist Burrow,
which he says were formed en this principle. There
is no such case as Robinson and Bayley, but there
is the case of Robinson and Rayley, Ist Burrow
316. The former is, no doubt, a misprint. In
that case, which was one of trespass, having fourteen
counts in the declaration, Lord Mansfield is reported
to have said, " The substantial rules of pleading are
founded in strong sense and in the soundest and
closest logic, and so appear when well understood
and explained, though, by being misunderstood and
misapplied, they are often made use of as instru-
ments of chicane." As far as the original principle
of pleading is concerned, Lord Mansfield's praise of
the system is nearly justified, and his view of their
perversion is still nearer the truth. It is in the same
spirit that Blackstone, in alluding to the adminis-
tration of the law in the reign of Edward 1., says,
" the pleadings consequent upon the writs were then
short, nervous, and perspicuous—not intricate, ver-
bose, and formal." In the present day they are
neither short nor perspicuous—for their obscurity
has increased in a direct ratio with their prolixity ;
so that, instead of serving to explain the matter
at issue, they conceal it under a heap of jargon,
which baffles the reason and defies the common ap-
prehension of mankind. Yet the Attorney-General
is stated to have said the other day, in the House of
Commons, that the present system of special plead-
mg was so consonant with reason, that it was not
susceptible of improvement. We stated not long
since that a declaration, which ought to give a
clear and succinct view of the plaintiff's demand
or his cause of action, and such a view as the
Court and Jbtry would at once understand, seems
framed, in general, for the especial purpose of
rendering the plaintiff's claim unintelligible, and,
in fact, is never understood until explained by the
Counsel, who states the case in the ordinary and plain
language of common life. Let us hear what Lord
Wyuford says on that subject. 1-le states that " in
actions of trover, the general counts in assurripsit
and actions of ejectment, there is nothing like truth
or certainly. The declarations contain nothing
but forms or fictions of law, which have no meaning
whatever. In other actions each separate count

states a positive certain ease ; so that, if the decla-
ration consisted but of one count, the Court would,
in the language of Lord Coke, know what it had to
give judgment on, and the defendant what he was re—
quired to answer; but the same case is often stated
in twenty different ways, in as many different
counts. A declaration which states a cause of ac-
tion twenty different ways must contain nineteen
false counts. f he rule of our law, that pleadings
should be true, is utterly disregarded. The requir-
ing truth and certainty in one of a great number of
counts, to save the plaintiff from a nonsuit or judg-
ment against him on a demurrer, does not prevent
the mischief to suitors which was intended to be
guarded against by the law, which says counts shall
have certainty and truth. The records are loaded
with twenty counts instead of one, and the expence
is increased twenty-fold." Thus are the " sub-
stantial rules " of pleading, as Lord Mans-
field calls them, evaded; and thus is the
system of pleading, which was originally in-
tended to facilitate legal proceedings and serve the
interests of justice, converted into an iestrument of
delay, expence, vexation, and chicane. It is a cruel
thing that honest suitors should be driven to the
necessity of either abandoning their just claims, or
else obliged to attempt the vindication of their rights
under a system saturated with falsehood, and likely,
at every step of the process, to beat down the real
merits of a case by the tyranny of empty forms.
Pleadings, we have said, should make the matter at
issue clear and certain; but the Learned Lord whom
we have before quoted states that "by the practice
of pleading, parties go to trial without knowing any
thing of each other's cases; and Judges are called
on to direct Juries on questions which they never
heard of until stated by Counsel at the trial."
Again, " pleadings, instead of being either true or
certain, are jumbles of falsehoods and inconsistencies,
discreditable to the administration of justice. We
must return to the practice of our ancestors—our
Courts should no longer be insulted by false state-
ments, the inventions of special pleaders, to supply
the want of diligence in attorneys, or of integrity in
the suitors desirous of concealing the defects of
their cases under the length of the pleadings." Such
is the system which some lawyers have not been
ashamed to call the " perfection of reason," but
which reason repudiates, and justice abhors.—
Morning Herald.
The Bills embodying the proposed alterations in
the Courts of Common Law and Equity have been
brought into the Houses of Parliament, and printed.
By the first, entitled " A Bill for the more effec-
tual Administration of Justice in England and
Wales," provision is made for the appointment of an
additional Puisne Judge to each of the Courts of
King's Bench, Common Pleas, and Exchequer; for
fixing the commencement and duration of the law
terms, which will be no longer variable; for reliev•
ing the King's Bench from the trouble of pronounc-
ing judgment in cases of misdemeanour when the
record is in that Court, the Judge before whom the
trial takes place being henceforth empowered to pass
sentence in those as in all other cases; for repealing
the Lords' Act, and placing all Insolvent Debtors
under the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court esta-
blished for their relief; for opening, partially, the
Common Pleas to Barristers (not being Serjeants),
and for enabling all Attornies to practice in the Ex-
chequer without employing any Clerk in Court.
There is also a clause intended to facilitate the as-
similation of the practice in each of the three
Supreme Courts of Common Law, by which eight
of the Judges (including the Chiefs) are empowered
to make general rules for regulating the proceed-
ings in all the Courts in matters of common jurisdic-
tion; a description sufficiently comprehensive, since
it includes all actions foe breach of contract and
personal injuries, and the remedies commonly em-
ployed for recovery of land. The sum of 1001. is
appointed as the minimum for which any person
may be arrested on mesne process, except upon the
special order of a Judge. The sequel of the Bill is
devoted to making provisions for abolishing the
Courts of Grand Session of the County and City
of Chester and of Wales, in Law and Equity alike,
and extending in lieu thereof the jurisdiction of the
King's Courts at Westminster over both the Pala-
tine and Principality. It will be observed, that the
Equity Court of the Vice-Chamberlain of Chester
is not comprised in this description. Attorneys now
practising in the Courts of Great Session will be per-
mitted to continue their practice in all actions arid
suits instituted against persons resident within the
existing jurisdiction of those Courts, and may be
admitted attorneys of the Courts of Westminster,
on paying the extra fees. The King is empowered
to issue Commissions of Assize, Oyer and Ter-
miner, and Gaol Delivery, into Cheshire and Wales,
for such counties and places separately or conjointly,
as his Majesty may be advised ; to appoint the times
and places for holding Assizes and the Circuits, and
to combine and consolidate Cheshire and the coon-
' ties of Wales with the counties of England, as may
be found expedient. The Sheriff of one of the
combined counties is to be named' to act for the
purposes of the Assizes in all; the Grand and Petty
Juries are to be summoned from the corbined coun-
ties indisaiminately, and as nearly as may be in
equal proportions from each ; but every county is to
defray out of its own separate rates the costs and
charges of its own prisoners, prosecutions, and
gaols. Such is the nature of the changes in the
department of Common Law, which it is at this time
intended to introduce, and which, although far from
justifying the large and high sounding title prefixed
with characteristic pomposity to the Bill by the At-
torney-General, are yet, upon the whole, to be
considered as in themselves matter of wholesome
and judicious (although minute) regulation. The
abolition of the absurd monopoly of the clerks in
the Exchequer, which has had so great an influence
in reducing that Court to its present state of ineffi-
ciency, the change in the Law of Arrest (although
not sufficiently extensive), and the arrangement for
simplifying general rules common to all the
Courts, their now various and intricate practice,
are particularly to be commended as mea-
sures of manifest advantage. Of the Lord
Chancellor's scheme for the relief of his
own department from the great pressure of
business, a like favourable judgment cannot be
pronounced. Long before Sir Charles Wetherell
gave notice of his intention to resist the creation of
a new Equity Judge, as the Lord Chancellor re-
commends, we were aware of the active, and, in-
deed, reasonable and justifiable opposition which
would be made to that measure. When the Bill•
was last year introduced, and actually carried
through the Lords to the House of Commons, the
symptoms of discontent were so unequivocal, that,
being perhaps himself not perfectly contented with
it, Mr. Peel withdrew the Bill. It is now again
brought forward; but if the reports which are pre-
valent as to the speedy approach of the proroga-
tion be true, at an advanced period of the Session,
and as it appears in the shape of a distinct measure
embodied in a separate Bill, and, therefore, capable
of being defeated or abandoned without prejudice
to other arrangements, we should not wonder if
the plan came to nothing at last, and that there
should be no new Judge after all. Meantime
let us observe that if the appointment should take
place, we shall have the Lord Chancellor presiding
by deputy, in no fewer than three Courts, the de-
crees and orders of each vicarious Judge liable to be
discharged or varied on application to him in his
Court of Chancery, and from his decrees in that
Court a further appeal to the House of Lords !
Lord Lyndhurst, in opening his measure to the
House, noticed this objection, but offered no other
answer than that he was himself troubled with little
apprehension from it ; adding, that it was far from
being the case that every cause was appealed against.
The fact is, that by the time a decree, even in the
first resort, is obtained in the Court of Chancery,
both parties are tolerably sick at heart and low in
pocket ; but where they are unequally matched, or

THE KINGS—The Bulletin issued on Thursday,
respecting the King's health, produced on the even-
ing of that day, and yesterday, a great sensation in
the metropolis. The terms of the Bulletin were
calculated to create considerable alarm ; and
throughout the whole of yesterday the utmost
anxiety was manifested to obtain fresh information
on the all-engrossing subject. It may easily be sup-
posed, that on the first intelligence of the illness,
many persons would repair to Windsor. Little
knowledge, however, was obtained by those who
repaired to the Palace, of a nature to be relied on.
To the questions eagerly put to those who returned
in the course of the day, the only answer received
was, the report at Windsor was, that a slight im-
provement had taken place. About the hour when the
Bulletin made its appearance on Thursday, the
whole population of the metropolis might be said to
have been looking for afresh one; and the disappoint-
ment was great when it was ascertained that none
had been issued. Though the reports from Windsor
were, upon the whole, favourable, and though the
inference was natural that medical men, acting
under so high a responsibility, would not have de-
layed issuing a fresh Bulletin, if the symptoms had
become more unfavourable—yet, in the absence of
all positive information, all sorts of conjectures are
hazarded, and it might have been better, perhaps,
to have satisfied the public anxiety by an authorised
statement. At a late hour in the evening we received
the following statement from the Court Newsman :
" The state of his Majesty's health, we are happy
to announce, experienced a slight improvement yes-
terday. The King was considered by Sir M. Tierney
to be a little better yesterday morning. His Majesty
remained in the same favourable state during the
whole of the day ; it was not, therefore, considered
necessary to issue a Bulletin. Sir M. Tierney was
in attendance at the Palace throughout the day;
but would, it was expected, come to town last night,
on being relieved by the arrival of Sir H. Halford.

In another part of our Paper will be found the
long-looked-for Bill for throwing open the trade in
Beer—a Bill of all others which have ever been in-
troduced into the Legislature, the most iniquitous in
principle—the most uncalled for by any existing
necessity, and the most likely to prove injurious,
not only to those whose interest it attacks, and
whose property it is intended to annihilate, but to
the public at large. In almost every country, and
indeed almost from the earliest periods, it has been
considered necessary to place the sale of fermented
and spirituous liquors under particular and definite
regulations—to require the security of character at
least from those who dealt in them, that they would
not abuse the special licence with which they
were entrusted, and even to punish by heavy
penalties the transgression of any of the regu-
lations which it was considered necessary to adopt
for the safety of the public health, and of the
public morals; but by the present Bill almost all
these points are to be dispensed with. Every one,
on the payment of two guineas, is to be allowed to
sell beer, ale, and porter ; while, with regard to the
penalties on a conviction of adulteration, they are
so trifling as to render them a matter of no conside-
ration with a class of people who, in all probability,
will have as little character as money to lose. On
this subject we may justly say, " look at this pic-
ture and look at that"—at the slight penalties to be
levied on the adulteration of Beer in the Bill now
before us, and the prayer of the petition of the
Licensed Victuallers of the Metropolis, that those
who have been once convicted of such an offence,
shall ever after be deemed incapable of holding a
licence ! Here is a touchstone by which to try the
merits of that industrious class of men, whom it is
the object of the present Bill to annihilate; and not-
withstanding all that has been said, and all that has
been written, about adulteration, and all the prose-
cutions which have taken place, we will venture to
affirm, that there is no body of. men so numerous,
and beset with such temptations, who are so free
from the guilt of this offence as, the Licensed Vic-
tuallers. Look at the tea trade, and to many other
trades in which adulteration is,carried on, to an ex-
tent to which the public has scarcely any idea—be-
ing according to the best information which we have
been able to obtain, a robbery of the revenue
to the extent of nearly one-half of the present
amount of duty, and an injury to the health of the
public, which deserves the most severe reprobation.
Yet, strange to say, the plea of adulteration, which
has not been made good, is courageously, and
against all truth, set up in defence of ruining
the Licensed Victualler, and disturbing the peace,
and corrupting the morals of the community, by ren-
dering it lawful to open a beer-shop in any street,
and in any quarter—whether necessary or unneces-
sary—where it may please those who wish to deal
in it to do so ! This is a question which concerns
the whole community, and in which the community
ought not to be silent. Petitions ought to be sent
in from all quarters, in reprobation of a measure
pregnant with such injurious consequences ; and we
trust that, before the recess is past, meetings will be
held in every ward in the City, to declare to the
Legislature the sense which they entertain of it.—
Sure we are, that if they do not, they will, in no
great length of time, have abundant cause to repent
of their supineness.—Morning Advertiser.

SUGAR.—The scarcity of good West India Sugar is
severely felt ; there are now very few good boards on sale ;
there is no alteration as to prices ; the estimated sales this
week are only 1,800 hhds. and trs. In the Refined
Market there is little alteration to notice ; the Shippers
are still purchasing on a limited scale, on account of the
short supply, but there is no alteration in the prices.
Fine goods are more plentiful.
EAST INDIA SUGAR.—Bengal Sugars are rather lower.
The public sale of 10,196 bags Mauritius yesterday went
off heavily, the prices generally a shade lower, and about
one-third-taken in ; since the sale the Market hat assumed
more firmness, and nearly all the parcels taken in have
been disposed of at the withdrawing pricei.
Foazunr SUGAR.—There are no sales to report, but
the inquiries continue, particularly for white Brazil for
the Mediterranean.

COFFIE..—There are few sales of Coffee lately reported ;
some good ordinary Porto Rico sold 375. a 385., fine
ordinary 435. There were no public sales of Coffee this
forenoon, but the inquiries for coloury continue, and if the
Porto Rico may be taken as a criterion of the Market the
prices are ls. a 2s. higher ; good ordinary Havannah has
been sold at 34k.

RUM, BRANDY, AND HOLLANDS...-..The Government

RuM DUTY.—The question of the additional Is. on
Rum is taking rather an unfavourable turn for the West
India interests ; the movement of the distillers and the
agriculturists is simultaneous and increasing in energy ;
they are joined by a great Parliamentary body, and it is
reported they have made a serious impression on the Mi-
nisters. Several memorials in favour of the West India
proprietors are in progress; and it is full time all their in-
fluence should be brought forward, otherwise the question
will be decided against them.
HEMP, FLAX, AND TALLOW.—The Tallow Market re-
mains dull, but no alteration in price. Hemp is rather
lower. Flax unvaried. The letters from St. Petersburgb
are dated the 30th ult. Exchange, 101 d. Tallow, 93 ;
bought 150 casks.
RlCE.—There is rather more demand for Bengal Rice.
Sficrs.--.There are several sales of Pepper Sid. and
Bid. ; other Spices are more inquired after, but few actual
purChases are reported.
Isis 13govistows.--There is more demand for Beef
and Pork. Bacon, which became rather languid on Wed-
nesday, is again in good demand, and at higher :prices.

DIED.

PERSIAN POET LAUREATE.—The Mo-
narch of Persia it seems, has his Court poet as well
as European Sovereigns, as we learn from the St.
Petersburgh Gazette, which informs us, that the SCHAR
has lately presented a poet named MLZA GAZUL, who had
composed a birth-day ode, trousers of the skin of a hippo-
potamus, made without being cut, and with buttons of
topazes, and also of a pair of half-boots, of the skin of the
musk-rat, the heels armed with massivegold....Athenceum.

On the 2d of December, aged 19, F. E. Saintsburry
midshipman of his Majesty's brig Clinker. Having as
sisted in the capture of a Portuguese vessel carrying near
400 slaves, and subsequently taken the command to Sierra
Leone, he fell another victim to the pestilence of that an
cursed settlement. .
