whether most to udotire the boldness of the Ministry
that could have selected such a Presiding Judge for
the Court of last resort, or the marvellous confidence
of the individual himself, who,. in the face of mum
public warnings, has undertaken, at an advanced
period of life, to perform • duties requiring very
too ions a;ipHestian, gear experience, and, above all,
a sober, patient, and solid understanding. • Lord
Wytiford hints very freely that he expects a. salary
for his Seotti-b services—in addition, be it observed,
to the retiring Fusion already driven by him from
public: page. .Accordingly (under the in-
fluence, We suppose, of this laudable motive) his
Lordship has commenced his new jtellOal 'labours,
with all the furious ardour of a school-boy cot,
testing far a prize medal. Some wag has ma.
lieiously told that litigants. in the house et
.14nrds Want nothing but despatch; and his Lord-
ship announces that he means to "knock otr" ap-
peals at the rate of three causes per diem. In our
case lately argued in the House of Lords, he actually
proposed to deliver Pidgment after hearing only a
few sent (owes of the opening speech of en appellant's
Counsel. But u Noble lord (Earl Radnor) who
bantered to be preset?:, inlet posed, and the case,
consequently, wits` permitted to proceed. Lord
Wyn'ord is a man of quick parts, undoubtedly;
but we can tell. les Lordship, that mere celerity
of decision is not, nor ever will be, the mini-
bute of an intelligent or conscientious Judge.
The very appearance of the least anxiety to get
rid of a case on some short point, or clever fancy,
of supposed discovery, is peculiarly indecorous itt
Judge administering a system to which he must bc
a stringer, and itt a tribunal where any errors com-
mitted are errors beyond all hope or possibility of
correction. We have made these remurks, because
we trust that one of the first measures of the new
Government will lw to place the Supreme Appellate
Jurisdiction on a footing itt once efficient and satis-
factory. The dispose'. of judicial business in the
Howse of Lords, since the time of Lord Gifford, has
excited universal discontent in ScotiantL—Morning

Whatever may turn out to be the composition of
the new Cabinet, it must be quite evident to every
one who has either examined the list of the division
on Sir 11. Parnell'eomution, or who bus duly contd.
tiered, and reflected on, the spirit which is non
abroad among all classes, that the party which has
been driven from the helm of affairs, has not only
effectually lost all credit with the public, but that it
has been driven from it not to return to it await.—
That divisior not only exhibited a numerics' majo-
rity of the 437 Members, then in the Ilotese over
m
the feeble partisans of the Governent,but a host of
deserters from the falling standard of the latter, and
such a corps of reserve in the number of absentees
as, if brought up, must have turned the scales still
more against the Government. No fewer than 47 of
the English county Members voted against the Mi-
nistry; l 5 only, including the Members directly eon.
netted with the Government, in favour of it ; while,
of the twenty who happened to be absent, it is quite
evident, from an inspection of the list, that the mu-
jority would have ranged themselves on the side
of Sir H. Parnell. In the same way a majority of
the Irish county Members did honour to their mis-
sion and their country, by ranging themselves on the
side of economy ;---twenty-nine having voted against
Ministers—only, eleven for them, and of the twenty-
four absent, fifteen, it is reckoned, would have sided
with the fernier. The only support ftom the county
Members of the empire which Ministers received
was from the representatives of the rotten shires of
Scotland, whose names, we regret to add, along
with the rept esentatives of the Scotch boroughs,
are but too frequently to be found in the lists of
every division on the side of jobbing profusion and
despotic measures. Twenty-nine of the Scotch
Members voted in favour of the Chancellor of the
Exchequer's motion—only seven ugainst them,
and of the nine who were abient there were
only three, we think, on whose support the
cause of economy could have fairly reckoned.—
It would be .a libel, however, on the people of
Semiarid to say that they participate in the
sentiments of their nominal representatives ; for
they are us independent in spirit and principle
el the latter are elevish nod dependent, and we have
rio doubt that, in the course of a few weeks, the
tables of both 'louses of Parliament will groan under
the load of petitions for Parliamentary Reform,
which will come from our brethren in the North.
The truth is, that Scotland has no national repre-
sentation, and that reform is more ithmlutely re-
(piked there than either in-England or Ireland. We
mention these circumstances because they shew,
beyond all coptrudiation, that there was no trick—
no stratagem is-no unfair advantage taken----in effect-
