pressed a wish to retire from office, and that Cardinal
AMAT, the POPE'S Legate at Bol,,gna, had been
written to for the purpose of making him the suc-
cessor of M. FEEntrri. It was hoped, however,
that the latter might be induced to abandon his inten•
tion of resigning.
A letter from Florence of the 21st ult. states that

pose to the Courts of Tuscany and Sardinia a Customs
Union for the States of Italy.

any peace, however flattering may be its appearance,
France dis?layed to us in a striking manner
the commencement of this nineteenth century. The
history of that country narrates that such was the
conviction of its then Republcan Government
in the maintenance of an European tranquilwas
lity
for at least some considerable time, that the ink
scarcely dry upon the parchment signed by the ple-
nipotentiaries at Amiens than the French forces were
either disbanded or dismissed on furlough, wh le i
the artillery was actually broken in pieces and
thrown into the furnaces. In the midst of these
of miwar
s-
judged evidences of confidence the noise
again startled the disorganized army of the Consulate
into activity.
"Under all circumstances—at least until the
Age of Gold is revived, or the Millenium esta-
blished—it is wisdom on the part of a legislature to
be prepared for war in the midst of peace,
For, of itself, a deteriorated maritime or military
force is something provocative of assault to an un-
principled and more wily neighbour. How much
greater, therefore, should be the caution of the
Anglo-Indian Government, seeing that it is encom-
passed on all hands by races as notorious for their
hatred of their European conquerors and their
passion for carnage as they are eminently skilled in the
realisation of their most treacherous wishes. What-
ever reduction may be made in the army, whether
that reduction be proportionately large or com-
paratively small, it should be conducted with the
most viligant forethought and the most elaborate
circumspection.
For the minor particulars conveyed from India by
the extraordinary express in anticipation of the over-
land mail, we refer to the dispatches published in
another column of The Sun. From these accounts it
will be perceived that the expected resignation of the
Governorship of Sinde by Sir CHARLES NAPIER has
been confirmed, and that the return of the hero of
.11 eeanee to England has been hastened by the continued
indisposition of Lady NAPIER. Among the more inte-
re.sting details will be found the description of the
murder of the atrocious ABDOOL SAMUD by the
King of BOICHARA, that sovereign having beaten out
the brains of his Minister with an axe, for being
principally instrumental in contriving the destruc-
tion of STODDARD and CONOLLY. According to the
sanguiriary creed of the idolaters, the manes of those
unfortunate officers are now appeased. The quarrel
between the Ranee of LAHORE and SIRDAR TEJ
Srsou—the capture of the ex-Maharaja of NE-
PAUL, in the midst of the slaughter at Sergowlie—
the proposed incorporation of the Lower In-
dus with the Bombay Presidency—the conjectures as
to the probable successor of Sir CHARLES NAPIER,
—the revival of the loan project in the dominions of
the NIZAM the depredations still perpetrated in
Rajpootana by the followers of DOONGHUR SINGH—
the non-assembling of the durbar on Sundays in
Peshavvur—the success achieved at Kusmore by the
police under Lieutenant YOUNGLIUSBAND—and the
outbreak which had taken place at Golcondah, in the
district of Vizagapatain—form the principal topics'of
consideration in the intelligence brought overland,
eza Marseilles.

right, a tradesman may be subjected to every out.
rage short of personal violence in his own shop. The
entire space devoted to the public may be occupied
by loungers not intending to make any purchase, to
the serious detriment of his business ; his female rela-
tives or assistants may be insulted by objectionable
looks or addresses; or, as he himself truly says, "ex-
posed to the machinations of an avowed seducer,
without any redress or means of getting rid of the
offender." Surely matter affecting such important
topics should not be permitted to rest on the decision
of a single judge, from whom there should be no
appeal, or what almost amounts to the same thing,
who is alone to decide whether he has been wrong in
his former decision—a point which very few will be
willing to admit—and if by a possibility a second
hearing should be sanctioned, it must be before the
same person, with all his former prejudices.
One of the chief and most glaring defects, there-
fore, of the new Act is the part which relates to new
trials. Formerly, if any party, plaintiff or defendant,
thought the judge wrong in the law he laid clown, or
that the state of facts did not warrant his application
thereof, or if he should be dissatisfied with the vet--
diet of the jury, as being given contrary to the weight
of evidence, or as having been in any degree influenced
by the improper admission or rejection of evidence,
he might apply for a new trial, or perhaps to have
the judgment entered i❑ his favour, to the full court,
who, if a fair case was made out, permitted a solemn
argument to take place, at which the law
was settled ; if his objection was a legal one,
and was taken in the proper form, and was
what is termed placed upon the record, he might,
if dissatisfied with the decision of the full
court, further appeal to the Exchequer-chamber,
and ultimately to the highest tribunal in the king-
dom—the House of Peers. This he might do in any
case, however trivial or unimportant, if he conceived
himself to be right and was sustainel by competent
legal authority. It might perhaps be right that this
unlimited power should not be given in every instance,
but it should never be withheld where the party was
willing to give sufficient security for the debt.
and costs, if the judgment should ultimately be un-
favourable to him. Such an appeal is allowed in
every case from the decisions of Assistant-Barristers
in Ireland, whose powers are very analagous to those
of the Judges in the New County Courts, upon such
security being given, or the amount lodged in court,
and a new hearing takes place before the next going
judge of assize. A similar power should be given
upon like terms in this country also.
Disputed questions of facts should invariably be
submitted to a jury if either party object to
the judge's decision. In Mr. CLARK'S case
the question chiefly turned on whether gross
violence had been used, or only such gentle
force as was necessary to compel the intruder
to quit the shop. The defendant desires the
opinion of a jury on a question in which he feels his
character at stake. It is refused, and thus one
of the first privileges of a free-born Briton, that
he never should be deemed guilty until found
to be so by the verdict of his peers, is
set aside. True it is he might have obtained
a jury previous to the first hearing, by serving
certain notices and depositing certain money ; but
a person may not be aware that the judgment will
turn on such a fact, and it he disputes that fact, and
is satisfied to pay the costs of the first hearing, and
to find adequate security fur obeying the final
judgment, he should be permitted to do so ex debilo
justitice, as a matter of mere right.

The Act 9 and 10 VICTORIA, C. 95, for the more
easy recovery of small debts and demands in Eng-
land, is now in full operation in all parts of the

country. It is impossible to estimate too highly the
importance of that statute, and of the several pro

. ,
visions thereby introduced, to the vast majority of
the people, to all those in the middle ranks of life,
engaged in trade, who are accustomed to give credit
for small amounts to their customers, and to the

A letter from Berne of the 27th ult. says—
Three facts of a certain significance have just
taken place here. I have informed you that the
Governments of the primitive cantons were thinking
of convoking their landsgemeindes, in order to con-
sult them on the situation created by the decisions of
the Diet. The landsgemeinde of Schwyz, the largest
of the primitive cantons, yesterday, in fact, sanc-
tioned the resolutions of the Government, tending to
declare that this canton would not withdraw from the
Sonderhund, and would not expel the Jesuits. This
decision was come to by about 7,000 votes against
360 on the opposite side. It is right to add that all
means, likely to influence a population and intimi-
date the wavering, were employed to bring about this
result, which might perhaps have been different, had
the vote taken place under the superintendence and
protection of the federal commissioners delegated
by the Diet. This circumstance, besides, allows
it to be foreseen of what a description will be
the analogous meetings which are to take place
on Sunday next, October 3, in the cantons of Uri,
Unterwald and Zug. However, in the last the Li-
berals, although in the minority, are preparing to
make a demonstration of their respect for the deci-
sions of the Diet. The second important fact is, that
the first deputy of Friburg at the Diet, the avoyer
Fournier, the living incarnation of Jesuitism, has, it
is said, given in his resignation of deputy and coun-
cillor of state, probably because the majority of his
colleagues differed from him in opinion. The third
fact which I have to point out to your notice is not
less characteristic. You are aware that at Berne the
Conservatives, united to the old aristocracy, had
gained a certain preponderance in the elections; not-
withstanding their efforts, the Liberal party, united
to the Radicals, yesterday gained a nomination in
the Grand Council, which fact gives the most formal
contradiction to our reactionary party, who pretended
that the energetic conduct of the Diet had weakened
the Liberal party in the canton of Berne, and para-
lysed its influence in the capital. The Liberal can-
didate was M. Hallwyl, a descendant of one of the
heroes of the battle of Morat ; his opponent was M.
d'Effinger, formerly bailli of Berthoud."

petty tradesmen, artisans, operatives, and labourers
whose exigencies may compel them to incur debts of
that description. Heretofore these small debts were
recoverable either in the superior Common Law
Courts at Westminster, or in local Courts of limited
jurisdiction, established from time to time in various
parts of the country, under different authorities.
Statutes were passed in 1844 and 1845, consolidating
and extending the powers given to these lesser
courts, but the Act of 11146, now under notice,
swallowed up all the others in itself. 'Wherever
it came into operation all inferior jurisdictions
were abolished, nay, that of the superior courts was
practically taken away in all cases which came within
the sphere of the courts established in pursuance of
its enactments—for (save in certain excepted cases) "if

an action shall be brought in the superior courts, for
'Any cause other than those in the Act specified, and for
which a plaint might have been entered in any court
holden under the Act, and a verdict shall he found for
the plaintiff for a sum less than 201., if the action be
founded on contract, or less than 51. if it be founded
on tort, the plaintiff shall have judgment to recover
such sums only, and no costs; and if a verdict shall
not be found for the plaintiff, the defendant shall be
entitled to his costs, as between attorney and client,
unless in either case the judge shall certify on the
back of the record that the action was fit to be tried
in the superior courts" (section 129). Few
persons will, of course, be willing to risk such a con-
tingency, even though they should believe themselves
entitled to recover still larger sums. The pro-
verbial uncertainty of the law is considerably en-
hanced by this provision, and if every case at all
doubtful as to the amount, as well as in all those
which, however important to the parties concerned,
certainly come within the limit, recourse will be
had to the newly .created tribunals for redress. The
Act, therefore, with the rules and orders adopted,
may be looked on as a complete code for the reco-
very of all sums not exceeding 201., and also the
recovery of possession of tenements, the annual
rental whereof does not exceed 501. Actions of re-
plevin may also be brought in these courts. These
simple facts will satisfy any person at all cognizant
of the very large proportion which such cases bear
to the general business of the country of the abso-
lute necessity of correcting all the defects contained
either in the Act itself, or which have been intro-
duced into its administration contrary to the intentions
of the Legislature. Different opinions, too, necessarily
prevail amongst the judges on several points, and conse-
quently there is a difference of practice that is ex-
ceedingly prejudicial to the public interests, to which
it is essential that some fixed and definite rules re-
cognised in all the courts should be adopted. Under
this head we may particularly instance the differences
that exist with respect to what has been termed
splitting causes of action, or two or more actions
being actually subsisting at the same time between
the same parties. This is only one illustration of an
evil of considerable magnitude.
The object of the statute most undoubtedly was to
benefit the poorer and the humbler classes, by afford-
ing them a cheap and easy mode of recovering the
demands to which they may justly be entitled, with-
out the expense and delay attendant on an applica-
tion to the superior courts, and also for saving the
debtors the enormous costs to which they would be
subjected—costs far exceeding the amount of the
original debt. It may, however, well be doubted
how far this desirable object has been at-
tained; we fear that, however plausible the
term " cheap law" may appear, however sound it may
seem in theory, it is not so easily reduced to practice,
but that mischiefs greater than those it was intended
to remedy, and much oppression and individual
suffering, together with cases of the greatest hardship,
loudly demanding redress, are daily occasioned by the
attempt to bring it into operation, there can be no
doubt. We shall from time to time point out some
of the in the law itself, and in the mede of its

be so important to himself and every tradesman in
the British dominions, involving, as it does, the

Aletter from Naples, of the 25th ult., says " that the
insurrection in Puglia has assumed a very serious
aspect. At Messina the Government has arrested
M. GRANO, one of the most respectable persons of the
city by his birth and talents. At Melazzo, M.
PrEanso, one of the richest men of the country, has
also been arrested. Persons who live in the neigh-
bourhood of the Chateau of St. Elmo assert that for
some days past they have heard fusilades, which
leads to a supposition that executions have taken
place in that fortress. General STATELLA, Kho has
the command of the troops sent to Calabria, has just
represented to the KING that in all the places through
which he has passed he found the people very de-
voted to his MAJESTY, but deeply irritated against the
abuses of the authorities, and particularly the gen-
darmerie. lie has denounced M. SALSANO, one of
the principal officers of that force, as having beer,
gu lty of great cruelty. This officer has been sus-
pended, and is to be brought to trial. The KING,
by a telegraphic dispatch, has suspended the execu-
tion of several persons who had fallen into the hands
of the royal troops, and revoked the institution of
courts-martial: The KING is constantly engaged in
conferences with the Minister PIETRACATELLA, and
it is believed that the object of them is the promul-
gation of useful reforms."

A letter from Rome of the 23d says—
" The Prince de Canino, Charles Bonaparte, who is
a soldier of the Civic Guard, was yesterday placed
under arrest. He had just arrived from Venice, from
which he hai been expelled for his speech in the sci-
entific eongress, and escorted to the frontier of the
Papal States by Austrian dragoons. It is thought
that his arrest here is connected with the process now
going on as to the eyelids of the 7th and Bth instant,
in which he took a leading part. You are aware that
on the evenings of those days manifestations were
made before the houses of the foreign ambassadors,
and that they were followed by tumultuous and
almost seditious assemblages round the house of the
Jesuits. The affairs of Naples appear to be taking
a turn favourable to the policy of the immortal
reformer Pius IX. The King's troops have been
beaten by the Reformers in the province of Cambo
Basso, in Calabria. The number of killed and
wounded on the royal side is estimated at 200.
Yesterday Count Pietro Ferretti, brother of the
Cardinal Secretary of State, set out for Naples. He will
inform the King that the Holy Father proposes to
abolish in several cases the punishment of death.
Cardinal Serra Cassano, Archbishop of Capua, has
arrived at Rome, and it is believed that he has re-
quested the Pope to give him an apostolic letter re-
commending obedience to the people of the Two
Sicilies. It is asserted that the Sovereign Pontiff

REGISTRATIONS.—(THIS DAY.)
CITY OF LONDON.
(Before T. Y. M'CnalsrtE, Esq.)
William Martin Lewis claimed to be registered in
respect of certain premises occupied by him at No.

Mr. Brown objected, on the ground of the house
being known as No. 11, and not No. 10, and called as
a witness in support of his objection the claimant,
who stated that he had always considered the house
as No. 11.
The rate-collector stated that the house was known
to him and rated as No. 10 ; that he was in the habit
of receiving the rates from the claimant on the same
premises for which he was rated.
Mr. S. Smith contended that the house was known
as both No. 10 and 11, and that upon this ground the
claim ought to be allowed.
The Court was of the same opinion and the claim
allowed.

companies have bad much difficulty in renewing deben-
tures falling due, and hence the pressure of calls has
been increased by the necessity of providing for this
contingency ; but we blame directors for having made
calls beyond the amount they had led their shareholders
to expect. The Caledonian Company, for instance, have
called up all the money on their old shares, in the teeth
of promises made to their shareholders that not more
than 301. would be required ; in consequence of which,
many shareholders were induced to buy more than they
otherwise would have done, and now, finding themselves
unable to meet unexpected calls, are compelled to sell at
a ruinous sacrifice, or endure the tender mercies of the
Company's solicitor. Generally our impression is, that
the worst has been seen. Food is greatly reduced, the
foreign exchanges are all improving, and with a return
of bullion we may expect also a return of confidence,
with a more healthy revival of trade, and a gradual re-
covery throughout cur markets."
