I pounds of sterling gold, sufficient to purchase many
gorgeous lounges for princely saloons. Its value
consisted in the knowledge of what it would afford
on close investigation ; and such may be the case
with many establishments now comparatively un-
known to the general community.
It will be seen from our Parliament.try Report
that the gratifying announcement was made dur-
ing the Debate on the Attorneys' and Solicitors'
Certificate Duty Bill—which yesterday stood
among the orders for a second reading. The
Financial Minister was wise in his generation, for
by deferring the statement of his intentions he
succeeded in throwing out the Bill for the Exemp-
tion of legal practitioners from any annual duty
for this session at least. The Right Hon. Gen-
tleman, who at this period of the session could
prevent either measure from being earned, plainly
intimated that he could not afford to give up the
two sources of revenue—to surrender 80,0001. to
legal practitioners in the shape of a total repeal
of the annual tax, and 80,0001. to the general
public in the shape of Advertisement Duties.
An option as to which would be taken was all
that he could offer. Under such circumstances,
there could be no doubt as to which side the
scale would incline. The repeal of the Certificate
Duty would only benefit a class—a numerous and
influential, and, despite the calumnies that have
been from time to time uttered, we will add,
meritorious and honourable class. The abolition
of the tax on publicity will benefit the community
at large. Every man who desires to make
known his wants of any description will par-
ticipate in the saving. Not a single bill of
costs would be abated a farthing in consequence of
the repeal of the Certificate Duty. The attendance
would still be 6s. Bd. to 13s. 4d., or 1/., accord-
ing to the time occupied ; but ninety advertisers
out of a hundred will receive the full amount, and
in some instances even more than the Is. 6d. now
surrendered. There would be no compensation
worth speaking of for the abolition of the Certi-
ficate Duties; the business would not be stimulated
thereby, nor perhaps would it be very desirable
to increase litigation, even if practicable. All
that would flow into the Treasury would be the
Income Tax, or 80,0001., or some 24,0001., and
possibly a very trifling addition to the consump-
tion of taxable articles. We say a very trifling
addition, because attorneys would be seldom de-
barred from any of the luxuries or comforts
of life in consequence of the payment
of 81. or 61., as the case may be. Whereas
there would be an ample equivalent for the Ad-
vertisement Duties, not merely in increased con-
sumption of duty-paying articles, and in trades-
men's income tax, but more directly in the
increased returns from the paper duties and the
newspaper and supplement stamp duties. There
could not then have been a moment's hesitation as
to which of these taxes was the greatest evil, and
which should be selected for repeal. We con-
gratulate, then, the community at large, more
especially public journalists, on this auspicious ter-
mination of the vexata questio. We congratulate
Mr. MILNER GIBSON and his able and energetic
associates on the triumphant issue of their incessant
and efficient exertions ; and, above all, we con-
gratulate the Chancellor of the Exchequer on the
removal of a rock ahead, on which, had he reck-
lessly steered, he might have materially damaged
the vessel of which he had undertaken the pilot-
age, and prevented its safe arrival at the desired
port.

ciples of Lord GREY'S Government were adhered
to, become now incapable of refutation.
The result is certain, and it is fatal to
the attempted union of sects. If Roman
Catholics are to monopolise the public funds in-
tended for all, a special and separate grant must
be made for the benefit of Protestants. Thus
sectarianism resumes its sway ; and the sacerdotal
caste will, as before, have in its hands the form-
ing of the national mind. How that power will be
used, experience sufficiently tells us ; and all this
is done because Lord ABERDEEN and Sir JAMES
GRAHAM cannot think themselves safe in their
seats without the purchased support of the Bri-
gade. Yet we are said to live under a Ministry
of progress

COURT CIRCULAR.

JAMES CLARK, M.D

Lord SHAFTESBURY and free voting do not ap-
pear to have any natural connection, but Lord
SHAFTESBURY and suppression of vice hang well
together, As might, therefore, be expected in
his Polling at Elections Bill, his Lordship is obvi-
ously far more concerned to put down drunken-
ness, demoralising bribery and violence, than to
secure the political liberty of the voter. Hence,
though we always welcome Lord SHAFTESBURY as
a legislator for juvenile mendicants, lodging-
houses, and the like, we must beg to decline his
aid in a province where his sympathies, we fear,
are all on the wrong side. The Tory Lieutenant-
General for heading the Lords' deadly opposition
to Jewish Emancipation, is hardly the fitting
leader in emancipating the voters of Great Britain
from the millionaire and the landlord. Lord
SHAFTESBURY'S Bill is, indeed, withdrawn ; it has
shared the fate of almost all reforming proposals,
having died in a tolerably happy hope of entering
into the clauses of the great Reform Bill of 1854,
much as Hindoos placidly surrender their indivi-
dual existence, in expectation of that consumma-
tion of bliss, absorption into the essence of the
DEITY. Still, from us, every serious proposition
of the kind claims attention, the more so as the
Noble Lords thought, that, in bringing his pro-
positions into public discussion, Lord SHAFTES-
BURY had obtained all he could just now particu-
larly desire.
On his proposal to limit all the legal expenses
to such only as should be incurred by a public
officer authorised to conduct the election, we will
not at present dilate. It would, of course, be
impossible to do away with Committees, and with
persons who should be the candidates' agents in
dealing with the electors as to everything but
mere pecuniary expenses. But if it be practicable,
and we hope it is so, to elect a Member without
putting him to any expenses but such as are really
necessary, and which need not, therefore, shrink
from publicity, any plan which would effect that
should have our most hearty support. Lord
SHAFTESBURY'S adoption of the Edinburgh Review
scheme of house-voting by papers left and called
for, as in the election of Poor-law Guardians, is
the chief point of interest. Now, we have no ob-
jection whatever to a fair trial of this plan
in a few of the next places which offer, just as we
demanded the same trial for the Ballot ; but, look-
ing at its probable working previous to any trial,
or with no better trial than it has already had in
electing guardians, we do not hail it as the desired
ultimatum. It will still leave an annual battle to
be fought for the Ballot by all the honest Reform-
ers. We will not deny that it is an improvement
upon the present mode of taking votes—miserable
praise that—nor that it will at least annihilate
one particular kind of bribery—waiting till after
two o'clock to make the best market of the votes.
It will also put an end to a system which has
become quite a costly nuisance in boroughs—that
of employing a large number of cabs to bring,
voters to the polling-booths, till expenses of con-
veyance amount to something like those of a
county election. It will, however, even facilitate
the commoner forms of bribery. The voting-papers
are, of course, delivered some reasonable time before
the day of collection. The voter knows that he
must bag his bribe before the day ; the agent
knows it also. The ss. or Si., therefore, will be
paid with admirable convenience at the voter's
house, the paper will be marked and signed in the
presence of the briber, and after that the latter
will be as sure as he need be of the man's vote.
It cannot, indeed, be given against him. It may
be withheld, certainly ; but as all the voter's
interest lies the other way, that is an improbable
supposition. We have no doubt the old Freemen
of Liverpool, Hull, Yarmouth, and Canterbury
will thank Lord SHAFTESBURY for his plan. The
voting-paper and the colour-ticket will be as regu-
larly exchanged as money and Mr. GLADSTONE'S
new receipt stamps. Indeed, the voting-papers
might be not inaptly designated the SHAFTESBURY
bribe receipts. Let them also be stamped, for
they will no doubt be regularly given for
" value received." Earl GREY—hiS genuine
Whig faith being confident of the immor-
tality of small constituencies—pointed out how
easy it would be in small boroughs to purchase a
seat to a certainty, since it would be only needful
to buy the requisite number of voting-papers
signed in blank. It would b 3 unfair of us, how-
ever, to avail ourselves of cases which we main-
tain that any decent proposition of Reform ought
to banish from our representation. Of course
Earl GREY is perfectly right, if pocket boroughs
are to survive the Coalition Reform Bill. He
might have added, however, that the bribable
portion of even very large constituencies could be
manoeuvred with almost equal ease.
There would be no small difficulty also in dis-
pensing with the delivery of the voting-paper by
the voter himself, on the one hand, or in re-
quiring him to stay at home until the collector
called on the other. We are pleased to see that
Lord REDESDALE took notice of this objection,
for it has always struck us as a very serious prac-
tical one. Not only, as Lord REDESDALE pointed
out, might the person in whose charge the paper
was left withhold it for a bribe, but, we
may add, the facilities for personation would be
largely increased. It would become quite a settled
practice to look out as early as possible for all
the dead and many of the absent voters,
and to secure, perhaps by a bribe, the ser-
vices of their families. The great, the
glaring defect of Lord SHAFTESBURY'S plan, how-
ever, is, that it leaves Lord SHAFTESBURY master
of his tenants' votes. We call it a defect. Pro-
bably in the eyes of the Premier, the Marquis of
LANSDOWNE, Lord WHARNCLIFFE, and the Earl of
HARDWICKE, it was a chief merit. It will render
pocket-borough elections a little more decent,
without delivering the dependent voter from his
old masters ; and when applied to counties, which
of course it would soon be, if only for consist-
ency's sake (as indeed Earl GREY seemed to take
for granted), it would leave the tenants-at-will as

We have in former articles explained the origin
and commented on the working of the Irish
National System. We have indicated the dan-
gers to which that system is exposed, between the
bitter hostility of one sect and the lukewarm sup-
port of its rival. We have pointed out the appa-
rent inclination of the present Government to
tamper with its rules, if not to subvert its fun-
damental principle. It remains only to see how
this inclination has been evinced, and what are
the circumstances which have led to the retire-
ment of Archbishop WHATELEY from the Board.
It is well understood that among the friends
of so-called " secular" education (a term, by
the way, whose use has gone far to create
prejudices against the mode of teaching
which it professes to describe) there exists
a considerable diversity of opinion as to the ex-
tent to which the religious element should be
introduced. One party—the bond fide secularists—
content themselves with ignoring it altogether.
These, however, are few in number, and their
theory is generally repudiated. Others, again,
are satisfied with the reservation of certain days
and hours for combined moral and literary instruc-
tion, allowing religious teachers of all denomina-
tions to have free access to the schools at fixed
periods, as, for instance, on one day of the week,
and before and after school hours on other
days ; and stipulating only that, in such
teaching, the schoolmaster himself shall not
be required to take part, and that attendance
thereupon shall in no case be made compulsory.
A third section go still farther, and desire to see
introduced into the general teaching of the school
such religious lessons as can be given to all with-
out objection being raised by any sect. Between
these two last plans the National Board has at
various times oscillated. On its first institution,
a variety of works, partly of a religious character,
were prepared and issued with the sanction of the
highest authorities in both the Protestant and
Roman Catholic Church. These, intended not as
substitutes for, but as supplementary to, other
religious instruction, we— generally received into
the schools, and read, with the consent of
the Roman Catholic Archbishop, in school hours.
But, objection being taken in some quarters
to a portion of these works, the Board, anxious
to guard against even the semblance of an en-
croachment on conscientious scruples, laid down
a rule to the effect that " where the parents of
any child objected to that child using a particular
book, its use in the case of that child should not
be insisted upon." Considering that so far as
the practical operation of the rule was concerned,
the word " priest" might have been substituted
for " parent"—and also that the concession here
made, if largely taken advantage of, must have
materially disturbed the discipline and uniformity
of the schools, it may, perhaps, be thought that
the Commissioners went too far in their efforts at
universal conciliation. But the fault, if such it
were, was on the right side. They might be taxed
with imprudence--at least they could not be taxed
with illiberality. Will it be credited that this
concession is now complained of as inadequate ?
and not only complained of, but actually done
away, a rule being substituted which, de facto,
allows the priest to make an index expurgatorius of
every work which he may choose to disallow ? Yet
such, unless our authorities misinform us, is the
fact. By the regulation of 1853, if any parent
object, on behalf of his child, to the reading of any
book whatever, moral, literary, or scientific, that
book is thenceforth to be discontinued in the
school where such complaint is made ! We

the " influence" boroughs would be as amenable
as ever to their respective nabobs, while every
voter in fear of the screw, of the good customer,
of the employer, of the landlord, of everything in
a word but the mob, would be as unprotected as
before. Indeed, the Earl of DONOUGHMORE de..

dared that in Ireland it would be no security

from the mob itself, not for the collectors at least;
but that these officials must perform their duty

in helmets, or be escorted by the military, if they
were to be safe ; and he instanced a late election

BRITISH FISHERIES.—Tho report of the complis-
( sioners for 1852 has just been published. The combined
accounts bring out a gross catch for the year of 602,6601
barrels, being a result undoubtedly below a general aver-
age, and no less than 122,755 k barrels below the gross
catch of the previous year.
THE OFFICE of SPEAKER.—Sir Robert Inglis, on 'Tuesday
evening, gave notice of his intention on Friday
A emt to bring under the consideration of the House of
Commons the report of the select committee, and to

the unavoidable absence of Mr. Speaker, the Chairman
o f the Committee of Ways and Means do take the chair

On the motion for going into committee on this bill,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
the Government had, considering the late period of the
session, and the numerous points of detail included in
the bill, which could be better settled during the recess
by communications between the Government and the
parties interested, wished to postpone it. The two chief
points of the bill were giving a Government guaran-
tee and an effective, control over the accounts of receipt
and payment of money. Two other points of great
importance were the rate of interest and the responsi-
bility to be imposed upon the trustees in regard to the
accounts. There was no question between the Govern
ment and the trustees, but between the trustees and the
depositors ; for it was obvious that the Government
would not undertake responsibility for deposits which
were not accounted for in the lists sent in to the Go-
vernment by the trustees • and the question was,
whether or not the trustees shouldl be responsible for all
deposits not included, whether from neglect or fraud, in
the fists sent in to the Government. With regard to
the rate of interest, that was a question which could
very properly be considered in that house. There were,
however, a number of smaller points which would take
up much time in discussion, but with regard to which
the Government would be able to save much time to the
house by communicating with the parties in the country.
For these reasons, therefore, ho should move that the
bill be committed this day three months.
Mr. H. HERBERT hoped the Government would
introduce the bill at an early period of the next session.
Sir B. HALL trusted that some provision would be
introduced into the bill to regulate the expenses of the
management of these banks. The hon. baronet quoted
the case of a savings bank in the metropolis, which cost
2,2801. a-year, and in which the trustees had expended
time sum of 6,0001. on the repairs of a house for the spe-
cial benefit of the managers. The result of this was
that, out of the 31. ss. per cent. allowed by Government
as interest, the depositors of 301. had H. ss. taken from
them for expenses, while those of 10/, and upwards had
7e. 7id.

of admission will be from eleven to six o'clock.

Sir H, WILLOUGHBY said that there was a per-
fectly good answer to the case cited by the hon. baronet
when the proper time arrived. If this bill were carried,
he could assure the Government that the trustees of
many banks would immediately resign.
After a short conversation, in which 1!r. Napier, Mr.
J. Young, Mr. Maguire, Mr. Barron, and Sir J. Shelley
took part, the bill was ordered to be committed this day
three months.

SHERIFFS' COURT-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. W. Burchell.)

ALLEGED FORGERY OF A JUDGE'S ORDER.-BLACKBURN
V. DUMMER.

This was an action to recover the sum of 2/. 18s. 6d.,
the balance of an account for goods sold, defendant
having paid 30s. into court.
Mr. Clarke (Bedford-row), who appeared for the de-
fendant, said that before the case was opened he had to
make an objection. The plaintiff had sued in person,
but last night he (Mr. Clarke) was served with a judge's
order that he (plaintiff) should be allowed to appear by
attorney, and he was now represented by counsel (Mr.
Horne). The copy of the order was dated the 7th
January last, which was before the action was com-
menced, and on inquiry it was ascertained that no such
order had been issued.

Mr. Horne said that no doubt it was a mistake in
the copy, and that it ought to have been the 7th July.
Mr. Clarke said that inquiry had been made at
Judges' Chambers, and it was ascertained that the order
could not have been signed on that day by Mr. Justice
Maule, as it purported, for his lordship was on circuit,
and the clerks knew nothing of the order. He
therefore applied to the Under• Sheriff to impound the
original order.

The Under-Sheriff said he did not think he had any
power to try the question. All he could do was to hear
the case.

Mr. Clarke then submitted that as plaintiff had issued
the writ in person, declared in person, and appeared in
person on the record, he was not entitled to appear by
attorney and counsel, and asked Mr. Horne whether he
had been instructed by him.
Mr. Home said he had been instructed in the usual
way by Mr. Hare, an attorney.
Mr. Clarke—Then I call upon Mr. Hare to produce
the original order.
Mr. Hare's clerk declined to do so.
Mr. Clarke said his object was to prevent frauds at
Judges' Chambers.

The Under-Sheriff repeated that he had no power in
the case, and if there was any irregularity the trial would
go for nothing. He never heard of such a case before.
Mr. Clarke then objected to counsel being heard, and
requested that a note of his objection should be taken.
Mr. Horne said that there was no occasion to take a
note—the case was too extraordinary for them to for-
get it.

The Under-Sheriff' took a note, and the case pro.
ceeded, but was of no public interest.
