to he tried either at Nisi Print or tile Assizes,'
where the facts are proved before a single Judge.
In 15 out of every 20 cases the parties are satis-
fied with the verdict thus obtained, and the
Courts are no more troubled with it ; the victori-
ous party works the rest of the case by the pro-
cess of the Court, and thus justice is done
with tolerable speed, and not very heavy ex-
pences. In the other five cases, where the
parties are not satisfied with the verdict of
one Judge, the case comes before the Court
Term on a motion for a new trial, ar-
gument on a special verdict, or special case,
and thus the whole matter in dispute between
the parties is placed directly before the Judges,
divested of all extraneous matter, and unincum-
tiered with statements which would only distract
the attention of the Judges from the real point at
issue, and not assist them in deciding it. The
judgment is given either at the conclusion of the
argument, or at a future day, and the case is
thus set at rest in that Court for ever. Thus
also, points collaterally arising out of the case as
demurrers, motions from documents, changing the
venue, &C. are disposed of. We think the appli-
cation of this machinery with some little modifi-
cation, would effect every useful purpose in our
Courts of Equity ; viz. expedite the cause, and
most materially diminish the expenses.
Let the VICE CHANCELLOR and MASTER of the
Roans take the office in Equity of the Judge at
Nisi Prius and at the Assizes at common law,
and decide only between the parties in such
causes as are ready for hearing. The Loan
CHANCELLOR taking upon himself simply the
duty of the Courts of Common Law in term, viz.
that of reviewing the judgments of the Vice and
Rolls Courts which are brought before him, and
hearing motions springing collaterally out of any
untie brought in the Court of Chancery. For
this purpose the bill and answer, and all the
usual routine of the business might be carried on
as heretofore, until sonic method could be adopt-
ed to simplify these modes, under the directions
of the Cotnmissioners naw sitting. When
the cause was ready, it should be set down
for hearing before either the MASTER of the
Rom.s or the VICE-CHANCELLOR, at the election
of the suitor. The party not satisfied with the
judgment of the Vice or Rolls Court, might ap-
peal to the LORD CHANCELLOR, making it, how-
ever, imperative upon him to state distinctly the
point on which the Vice or Rolls Court decided
below, and requiring merely an affirmance or re-
versal of that judgment on that particular point.
If this plan were adopted, there would be
hopes of getting a cause to a hearing in a reason-
able time, and thus very many of the heavy
motions the LORD CHANCELLOR is now called upon
to decide would not be made at all, although
the same point might eventually find its way be-
fore him on appeal. But that would not always
be the case, and even where it did, he would have
, the opinion of the Judge who had previously de-
cided it to guide his own. Again, motions for
dissolving injunctions would also be greatly re-
duced, because, as the same object would be
gained on the hearing of the cause, if there was
a prospect of getting the cause to a hearing
in any thing like the same time as the
getting the - motion, made before the LORD
CHANCELLOR, the parties would not put
themselves to the expence of that motion, but
await the final hearing of the case. By these
means also the CHANCELLOR would never be
obliged to decide a cause upon a motion as he
now very often must do. This plan appears to
us fully adequate to the evil complained of, and
very easy to be adopted and brought into use, it
infringes on no one's right, it interferes with none
of the privileges of the suitors, and we confess
seems every way calculated to promote expedi-
tion and economy in the administration of justice.

Hamburgh Papers to the 16th arrived last
night. Their contents are unimportant. The
Scotch Missionaries who obtained permission
some years since to settle in the Crimea, the Go-
vernment of Astracan and the Provinces of Cau-
casus and Georgia, for the purpose of converting
the Heathen, had lately broken up all their esta-
blishments on their return to Great Britain.

BERLIN; JULY 9.—The. Bulletin of the Laws
contains in its last Number a Cabinet Order, by
%which parints, or their legal representatives, if
they cannot prove that they take care that their
children receive at home their necessary educa-
tion, shall be bound, even under penalties, to
send their children to the public schools as soon
as they are five years of age. The children
shall continue to attend the schools until
their Clergyman certify that they have at-
tained the. knowledge necessary for every rea-
sonable man in their condition of life. The
discipline in the schools can never be carried
so far as ill-treatment, which may affect the
health of the children, even in an indirect or re-
mote manner. Punishments within these bounds
do not subject the masters to the charge of ill-
treatment ; but if the master has exceeded these
just limits (without the child being really
wounded), the provincial authority shall punish
the master according to the established laws of
discipline ; but if the child has been really
wounded by an abuse of the right lof chastise-
ment, the master shall be punished by the tri-
bunals, according to the existing laws.

Chief of their Forces at Bombay, and Second in

Mr. Secretary CANNING , we are happy to
state, was yesterday so much better that his per-
fect recovery may reasonably be expected in fi
day or two.
