11/1 One half the wend are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing harry ; but the troth lies deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness
and social content. The dowry should net be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if
these surmises concern you, procure Dr. CULVERWELL'S little
MEMOIRS 'On Single and Married Life, " pub. in 2 vols., Is.
each (by post, in stamps, Is. 6d. each). Let no imaginatively
refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered
oy misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining
them. They are not intended certainly for mere Idle cariosity, but
for the closet perusal of those mere deeply interested, to whom
they are offered as antagonistic to the empyrical trash put forth on
the above subjects, by unqualified authors, which alone or
together, are a disgrace to the age. Furthermore, two other
tittle publications claim your attention (same price Is. each,
by post Is. 6d.) called " What to Eat, Drink, and
Avoid," and " How to be Happy." They are not merely
pamphlets, but equal in quantity a library volume, nor are they the
mere ephemeral scribblings of the hour, but the study of the author's
life, who owes his present existence, health, and position to this ob-
servance of the maxims he would inculcate—to do unto others as he
would be done unto—to live after nature's laws—and to keep always
an the "sunny side of the way." The above works may be had of
Sherwood, 23, Paternoster-row; Carvalho, 147, Fleet.street ; Mann,
39, Cornhill ; Nelson, 457, West Strand ; or direct (by post or other-
wise) from the author (who may be conferred with pcasonany,

a frequent exciting cause of stricture, and that a want of practical

source of most of the severe, long-protracted, arid complicated cases
of that disorder so fatally prevalent. The whole illustrated by nu-
merous cases.

THE LIBERTY of the SUBJECT.
INQUISITORIAL PROCEEDINGS OF GRAND

JURIES.

TO THE EDITOR OP THE SUN.

Sin,—The liberty of the subject, and a fair and open
trial by jury, is the boast of every native of this realm;
and few men, unacquainted with our forms of proceed-
ing in criminal law, will believe it possible that in this
" land of liberty," as we call it, a person may, behind his
back, and without any notice to him, be accused of a
criminal offence, however heinous, tried by the grand
jury, found guilty, held to bail, or apprehended, and
committed to prison, without his having even heard.of the
offence with which he is charged. And yet, Sir, monstrous
as it may appear, such cases occur almost every day in
this country, and will continue to occur as long as the
present iniquitous system is allowed to continue of grand
juries finding indictments behind the back of the party
accused, and without any investigation of the case in his
presence.
Some time last year the Common Council of the city
of London unanimously agreed to petition Parliament
to amend the law in this respect. One of the speakers
upon that occasion described the present system as being
" worse than the Inquisition." And Mr. Humfrey and
Mr. Wire (both professional gentlemen of great ex-
perience in criminal matters) stated that, to their know-
ledge, the present system was almost daily made the
medium of private malignity and revenge, or of vexation,
and that there were hundreds of persons in this country
who made a livelihood by preferring indictments upon
false charges, getting the bills " found" by the grand
jury, and afterwards extorting money from the persons
falsely accused, upon the terms of abandoning the pro-
seeution. But, although such petition was agreed to
nearly a year ago, and another session of Parliament
has almost passed away, nothing has yet been done to
correct this infamous state of the law.
That this inquisitorial mode of proceeding of the grand
juries, capable of being, and constantly put in motion
against innocent parties, for the mere purposes of revenge
or extortion, should be allowed to continue to the present
day, is really surprising, and I can only attribute it to
the general ignorance which prevails upon the subject
amongst unprofessional persons. I have constantly, in
the society of intelligent unprofessional men, pointed
out this anomalous state of our criminal law, and have
always found the greatest difficulty in making any per-
son believe that such a state of things could really exist
in this country in the 19th century.
It is said that one fact is better than a thousand ar-
guments, and therefore I shall take the liberty of men-
tioning two cases which occurred, within my own know-
ledge, during the last few months, both of which strongly
illustrate the necessity of an alteration in the law on the
above subject.
In one case, a French gentleman came to this country
to recover a debt due to him by a person residing here,
and commenced an action for its recovery. His debtor
sought to evade payment of the debt, and as a mode of
coercing him into giving it up, or compromising it, pre-
ferred an indictment against him for some absurd charge,
went before the grand jury, and behind the back of;
and unknown to, the accused, got the bill of indictment
found, and a warrant issued for his apprehension, under
which he was arrested and confined in Newgate. And
when the case came on for trial, the jury immediately
pronounced a verdict of acquittal,
havel,and
fothuendjutdbgeebisialiodf,
that the grand jury should never

indictment.
In another case, the defendants in an equity suit
sought to compel their opponent to abandoa his claims
against them, by intimidation, by availing themselves of
the existing odious system which I have endeavoured
to denounce. Accordingly, they trumped up two in-
dictments against the plaintiff in the suit, went before
the grand jury, and as a matter of course, upon their
ex parte and uncontradicted evidence, got the bills of in-
dictment found, warrants issued for the apprehension of
the accused, and his committal to Ne wgate, without any
notice to him, or any investigation of the alleged charges
in his presence. But he having procured bail, taken
defence to the indictments, and resisted all their attempts
at intimidation and coercion, when the cases came on
the prosecutor abandoned both the indictments.
It is, Sir, in the hope of calling public attention to
this important matter, so intimately connected with the
liberty of the subject, that I take the liberty of address-
ing this letter to you, and I trust that you will have the
kindnessournal._ toI m

A BARRISTER.

THE QUEEN v. BARNES.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
reference to the short report of this case in
your journal, we, as solicitors employed for the prosecu-
tion, deem it but justice towards our client, the Reverend
Thomas Harvey, to state, that the Learned Counsel,
when withdrawing the prosecution, misconceived the mo-
tives which influenced the adopting of that course on the
part of our client.

- The solo object of Mr. liarvey in commencing pro-
ceedings at all, was the preservation of his child from
continuing an unhappy connexion. That object having
been accomplished, and reposing, as he does, the fullest
confidence in his daughter's decision, Mr. Harvey after-
wards felt himself permitted, without inconsistency, to
abandon the prosecution, and, moreover, considered it his
duty so to act, in order that, as a Christian, and more
especially as a clergyman, no vindictive feelings should
he attributed to him, notwithstanding the bitter injury
inflicted.
If, in the exercise of his judgment the Learned Coun-
sel did not fully adopt our client's wishes, it is incumbent
on us to give this additional explanation; and we rely on
your courtesy and impartiality to favour us with a
prompt insertion, as under the present impression which
the report is calculated to convey to the public, the
Reverend Gentlemen's motives may be misconstrued.
We have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient servants,

FRANCE.

[ln submitting the following letter to our readers,
we must remark, that correspondence between
the two capitals, Paris and London, is just now
only to be carried on by a sort of subterfuge.
Letters are opened on suspicion and, for that
reason those letters are, as a kind of protection,
penned anonymously. However, thanks to a
pseudonym, we have received the communication
of our correspondent, and in giving that communica-
tion publicity in our columns, we must in justice to
our countrymen, declare that the opinions expressed
by ourselves upon LAMARTINE are opinions which
excite the sympathy of thousands of the people of
Great Britain.—ED. SuN.J
TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Your forcible, just, and generous remarks on
the noble and pure-minded Lamartine find a grateful
response in every heart not ossified by the selfishness of
personal interest, or debased by sinister views, opposed
to the extension of civil and religious liberty.
It is only through the English journals that France
can now hope to hear the voice of truth; it is only
through you and your contemporaries that the victims
of military usurpation and mercenary oppression can
hope to make the rattle of their chains heard, or find a
vent for the outlet of their condensed indignation.
By the Code Cavaignac, writing, speaking, or pub•
lishing anything (not hostile) but admonitory—sugges-
tive, or promotive of measures for the general welfare—
that may not be in unison with the acts of Government,
or the contemplated views of the Dictator, is declared
treason to the state—to offend is to be subjected to a re-
vival of the times and crimes of Louis the Fourteenth,
to be arrested by Lettre de Cachet—to be imprisoned
au secret—to have your property seized—your journal
suppressed—to be denied all communication with friends,
and refused the opportunity of remonstrance, of trial, or
of defence; and it may be, after eleven days of inquisi-
torial incarceration, as in Emile Girardiu's case, the
victim
hs ruin is m
miis seta t li
ee petedhythe continuedchargeori mputation—
whsequestra-
tion of his property, and the suppression of his journal.
Ah 1 Mon And! this is the cruel mockery of liberty in
France—the subjugation of all civil rights—the suspen-
sion of all legal forms--the suppression of the public
voice by the public press, under the pretence of establish-
ing order. Do not imagine that lam insensible to the
dangers past, or that I would temporise with the san-
guinary hordes of the barricades. In England you en-
force the law, and if necessary, strengthen it to meet any
emergency, but you do not violate public liberty, abrogate
constitutional rights, place London in a state of siege,
and set up a military dictator to suppress
a tumultuous
assemblage of misguided, and, therefore, dangerous
people. If the restoration of order in France is to be
based upon the reconstruction of a military despotism,
as I believe it is—the fickle nation will soon
have cause to lament, in tears of blood, their
foul ingratitude to Lamartine, their base aban-
donment of the man who in the hour of peril bared
his breast to the storm, and boldly seized upon the
shattered helm of the state vessel to guide her into safe
moorings. If in the attempt to steer through the wild
and troubled waters of a revolutionary sea without chart
or compass, he met with sunken rocks, and encountered
the quicksands of disappointment, is he to lie accused of
wilful error, and hunted down by the calumnies of
malice? It' he happened to be occasionally wrong in
his course —as who among statesmen is not?— is
there no allowance to be made for the convulsive
state of the empire, the intrusion of delusive
theorists, and the innumerable difficulties attending the
reorganization of a proposed entire change of Govern-
ment, embracing the, principles of universal "liberty,
equality, and fraternity ?" That he was honest, his ene-
mies dare not publicly dispute—that he was frank and
sincere will be attested by every foreign Minister with
whom he conferred, but more particularly Lord Nor-
manby and Mr. Bancroft, who enjoyed an unrestricted
intimacy with him during his onerous Administration.
The Ministers of England and America might, and
ought, to do Lamartine the justice of rescuing him from
the judgments of ignorance. His well-earned literary re-
putation, his unimpeachable private character, the sin-
cerity of his political opinions, and the eloquence
with which he advocates and adorns his policy, are
proverbial, and beyond the reach of his maligners.,
That he should have committed political errors is not
more wonderful than the fact of their being those of
more consummate statesmen. Labour and Finance
were the rocks he split upon, and they will continue to
be the obstructive and embarrassing barriers for any
and every future Government to pass through.
The rapid increase of population in civilized Europe,
aided by the increased mental intelligence of the people,
must and will produce in all states a more equal and
paternal form of government. The experiment
has failed in France from the want of union
between the classes ; but it will revive, and
eventually succ of. Released from the delusion of false
theories the people grown wiser by experience
will, I hope, for their own security, combine to restore
order, and secure for themselves a Government digni-
fied by its protective attributes of paternal solicitude for
all. Then Lamartino and other equally honourable
men will rise superior to the foul malevolence of faction
—if living, they will be honoured, as they deserve,
above their compeers; and if called home, receive the
undying tribute of a nation's gratitude, which sooner or
later history never fails to award to the names of the
great and the good.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—FRIDAY.
Since Monday the arrivals of English Wheat for our
market have been on a fair average scale, yet the °show
of samples here to-day was small. For all descriptions
of both red nud white the demand was in a very dull
state, at barely the late reduction in the quotations.
The imports of Foreign Wheat have been very mode-
rate. Selected parcels were mostly held at late figures,
but the middling and inferior kinds were somewhat easier
to purchase. No English Barley at market, but the
show of Foreign was good.. Tho trade ruled heavy,
and prices were with difficulty supported. There was
scarcely any inquiry for Malt, and prices remained al-
most nominal. Liberal imports of Foreign Oats have
again taken place; hence the trade was in a very dull
state, and the inferior samples were a shade lower.
Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were neglected.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.
The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday was ac.
tire, and closed firmly. Sales, 7,000 bales. Railway
Shares improved considerably, and a good business era:
done.

A correspondence has been published relative to the
use of the French language in Canada, and it is satisfac-
tory to find that, as the feeling in Canada is so decidedly
in favour of allowing the combined use of the French
and English languages as a means of attaching the nu-
merous parties who speak the former, a Bill has been
presented by Earl Grey to repeal the previous re •
strictions. A report made by the grand jury
of Montreal within the last two months is
particularly satisfactory. It expressed the conviction
of the parties signing, and who are of both French and
English origin, that the country will continue to enjoy
the blessings of tranquillity, although the states of Eu-
rope have been convulsed by revolutions, and that this '
peace is due to the form of government, and the wisdom
of the men appointed to represent the Sovereign.
The accounts from Germany are favourable to-day,
but from Paris they are still unsatisfactory.
The public sales of Colonial Wool have been progres-
sing better within the last two days, and the biddings at
the Indigo auctions are likely to improve, as the accounts
from the manufacturing districts are better. Generally
money is more wanted in commercial circles.
The beautiful weather causes the Grain trade to rule
dull here.
The Funds are still rising, and the settlement of the
account is all in favour of the Bulls, a proof of the
enormous extent to which the opposing party must have
carried on their operations. A small failure has oc-
curred in the house. Consols are 87i to 87i for trans-
fer, and for the 10th of August. Exchequer-bills of
March are 455., and India Bonds 275. premium. Bank
Stock has been 193 to 194,1, and India Stock has
touched 237 and 240. The New Three• and-a-Quarter
per Cents. have been 871 to 88, and the Three per
Cents. 87i to 88.
The Foreign Securities have been heavy. Spanish
Five per Cents., 111 to 12. Mexican Bonds are at 17
to Danish Stock is firm at 70. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents, are 44i to 45i.
Railway Shares have been looking very good, but not
much is doing. •
