prone:Antes and full information maybe obtained at the Tempo- frauds and breaches of confidence in the most sacred
-ary (Micas of the Company, I.la, Cannon-row, Westminster, on ap-
plication t...) relations of life are committed with impunity, and
even encouraged, while the far greater number of
suitors are driven to the miserable alternative of
' compromising their suits on terms the most disad-
vantageous, or of allowing them to remain for an in-
definite number of years entirely unadjudicated ;"
while novelists have detailed cases of deep and
bitter suffering, but which are more than
paralleled by the terrible realities of every-
day life. " Boa " has graphically depicted
the miseries of the Chancery prisoner of thirty years'
standing, who had long been forgotten by the world,
and whose dying moments were only soothed by the
sympathies of his fellow-victim—the cobbler who has
been ruined by the bequest of a considerable legacy.
The picture was by no means overdrawn, for many such
cases existed, and still exist, where the unfortunate
suitors, having had their entire revenues eaten up by
protracted litigation, their spirits crushed by the
" hope deferred that maketh the heart sick," and all
their prospects in life blighted and destroyed, were
ultimately consigned to a prison to linger out the re-
mainder of their days in melancholy and hopeless
confinement. By all classes the intolerable nuisance is
denounced and execrated—judges, masters, and officers
of the Court, barristers and so licitors. Plundered
suitors and disgusted spectators are for once unani-
mous in deploring the grievance and demanding a
remedy, but literally nothing has been done to meet
the public wishes, or to provide adequate remedies
for the acknowledged abuses. Some time since we
noticed an exceedingly clear and well written
pamphlet, by a solicitor, on the inherent defects of
the Court as exhibited in its system of procedure
and fees, with suggestions for a remedy. The
writer was manifestly thoroughly acquainted with
his subject, and he brought a sound and vigorous
intellect to bear upon it, and to apply his knowledge
ti) the best purpose. We gladly hail the appearance
of a second edition of this valuable little work,
with considerable additions and emendations,*
and with the name of the author on its title-page. It
is dedicated to that uncompromising veteran Re-
former, JOSXPH HUME, who has devoted his life to
Coe removal of every species of abuse under which
the nation suffered. The facts of a case in which
the writer was professionally concerned are detailed,
as affording the strongest illustrations of the vicious
system, and the inherent defects of the Court are
pointed out with a master hand.

Amid the fears of non-content Lords and the
at ixiety of Protectionist Commons, we would read
them a lesson founded upon the principles of common
94 nse and practical religion. There are certain state
sermons preached in St. Paul's Cathedral by the
Chaplain of the Chief Magistrate, which are not un-
fr equently worthy of public attention. One of them
was delivered on the anniversary of the " Restoration
of the Royal Family," and another will be preached
on Wednesday morning, to celebrate her MAJESTY'S
accession. In turning over our memorandum we
find the following sensible observations of the Rev.
STEPHEN REED CATTLEY, the Chaplain to the LORD
MAYOR, delivered on the 29th of May, showing how
a Christian minister can calmly view events which,
perhaps, may not be in entire accordance with his
own views and feelings. The Chaplain's text was
from the 2 Sam., chap. xix., verse 10. In
urging the importance of religion being recog.
nised in the councils of the state, and of our hoping
he best for measures which have passed into laws,
he says—" Nor ought we to suppose, however they
may be viewed through various and opposite medic,
and however some may conscientiously differ from
them, that all measures are not founded upon honest,
even if mistaken, principles; and that GOD who rules
above, if he be faithfully served, will overrule enact-
ments which appear to many complicated, venture-
some, and unsound, and will bring peace and plenty
out of measures which seem to threaten even an op-
posite result. If it be difficult, amongst the most
talented statesmen, to define what will be the precise
effect of some legislative proposals., let us endeavour
to rest our faith upon that very doubt; and, in confi-
dence and prayer, leave the results in the hands of
our Kuso of Kings, who can change curses into
blessings, raise a nation to glory, or trample it to
ruin. If this principle actuated the hearts of all, how
often should we see the best and surest foundations'
laid by his power, beneath what some might think frail
and futile arts of man ! If national prayers are really
considered as prayers, how might dissatisfaction, and
confusion, and party spirit end in peace and happi-
ness!' Measures opposed to our earliest feelings, and
to our calmest and most unimpassioned deliberations,
would often result in the establishment of truth and
justice.' Enactments which seem to threaten some
section of the Church of CHRIST would prove but the
removal of bonds, and limits, and distinctions, of
human contrivance, but which, blessed and sanctified
by GoD, would tend to the establishment of an end-
less reign of national religion and personal piety."
We recommend these sentiments to the considera-
tion of timid and troubled statesmen, and while we
have all reason to congratulate the City upon their
selection of the LORD MAYOR, we cannot but con

gratulate the LORD MAYOR upon his selection of a
Chaplain.

" Attend to the neglected, and remember the for-
gotten."f These beautifully expressive words form
an appropriate beading to an appeal for the nagged
Schools, for the principle which they inculcate is
the principle to which these Samaritan institutions
owe their rise. For the sole and express purpose of
giving attention to those (and, unhappily, they may
be counted by thousands) to whom in this enlight-
ened age, and in this enlightened country, no atten-
tion whatever had hitherto been given, and of whom,
although under our very eyes, no cognisance what-
ever had been taken Ragged Schools were established.
During the five years of their existence they
have done much, but that which they have accom-
plished sinks into insignificance when compared with
what is still undone. Let any dispassionate inquirer
bestow half-an-hour's attention upon the reports ; or,
better still, let him give ten minutes of personal
investigation into the appearance of the Ragged
Schools and the characters and conditions
of their inmates, and he will wonder not

' that such institutions have been established, but
that such an awful necessity for their establishment
should exist, and, moreover, that it should have existed
so long without meeting with any attention.
The destitution and depravity of the children of
London is almost incredible. Would to heaven we
might disbelieve the painful and revolting records of
those who have investigated their condition. Would
that we might convict of exaggeration those who
reckon up the thousands and tens of thousands of
children . in this Christian land who live like savages
And ale like heathens. Would that we might dis-
credit their veracity who picturewre to us the ignorance
and
ah tee
filthb ed
anndessiof the children
iseryou r daily
of their
ofan dthveicme,etthroepsolusa:r
and o
horrible abodes. But we cannot do :i.
experience affords to those details a sad and
convincingconfirmation. Who can walk through the streets of
London morning, noon, or night, and venture to dis-
credit any records of crime or destitution ? And yet
the daily lesion is ineffectual, the daily exhibition is
unheeded. Destitution haunts our footsteps and
crime flourishes before cur eyes, but we turn aside—
we close our ears to the voice of supplication, and
madly exclaim with ALEXANDER, " Give us other
worlds to conquer !" This dangerous infatuation has
been very forcibly set forth in a recent sermon on
behalf of Ragged Schools, which we earnestly com-
mend to the attention of that numerous body
who give their mite to the missionary, and think
they have done their duty. They will there learn,
to their astonishment, let us hope, that nearly one
hundred and fifty thousand pounds has been sub-
scribed in one year for the missionary, and the
Ragged Schools have had difficulty in obtaining more
than a hundred pounds by annual subscriptions.
Without in any way disparaging their philanthropy,
who so strenuously support the heathen missions, we
