LONDON, WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1851.

Some years since the commander of one of her MA-
JESTY'S ships of war, when stationed in Cork harbour,
ordered his men to load their guns and prepare for
action. The men were astonished at the extraordi-
nary direction. The instinct of obedience was, how-
ever, too strong, and the consequences of a refusal too
formidable to demur. The cannon:were duly charged
and pointed against the principal buildings of
Queen's-town, then known by the name of Cove,
and the trembling seamen were standing in
momentary expectation of being obliged to Ere
on their countrymen, and to lay what had been
a flourishing town in a heap of ruins. Fortunately,
the first lieutenant was a man of energy and decision.
He saw the melancholy condition of his superior
officer, and braving all charges of mutiny or insubor-
dination, he had his commander placedin durance
until the state of his mind could be investigated.
The result may be easily anticipated. The captain
was placed under medical care, and the promptitude
and resolution of the lieutenant saved the loss of many
valuable lives and of an enormous amount of property
by the hands of those who were entrusted
with the protection of both. Had it been
otherwise, the consequences might indeed have been
of the most heartrending description. A. large dis-
cretion was entrusted to the hands of a servant of the
SOVEREIGN, who, while in full possession of his
faculties, was perfectly competent to the faithful and
efficient discharge of the duties confided to his hands.
An aberration of intellect, however, rendered him in-
capable for a time, and the extensive powers which,
under ordinary circumstances, might have been ex-
ercised with credit to himself and advantage to the
public, would have been perverted to a fearful extent.
We may in charity hope that the Learned Judge of
the Liverpool County Court, to whose extraordinary
conduct towards Mr. %VRITTY, the respected proprietor
of the Liverpool Journal, we yesterday directed the
public attention, has been suffering under some tem-
porary hallucination, or he never could have allowed
himself to pursue a course so strange, so utterly un-
precedented ; to distort the words of a very beneficial
Act of Parliament to such an extent as to render
himself a despot, having full control over the liberties
of his fellow-citizens, to disregard the safeguards
which the law flings over the humblest subject of this
realm, and to conduct himself in a manner more
befitting an Eastern cedi than an English judge. The
facts of the case bear an almost ludicrous aspect, but,
unfortunately, a closer consideration will present them
in a very different point of view.
In the first place, we find an educated gentleman, the
member of a learned and honourable profession—a
man who must have attained some degree of respec-
tability in that profession, or he never would have
been selected to fill such an office as Judge of the
Liverpool County Court—rendering himself ridi-
culous, a laughing-stock to all who do not feel too
deeply at the painful and melancholy exhibition to
indulge in any unseemly mirth. He has but too
clearly forgotten himself, to give vent to that which
for all parties, unhappily is not an impotent resent!.
ment. Disregarding the future consequences of his
acts, he has converted the Bench of Justice into a
very Billingsgate—has exhibited passions which
should at all times be kept under control—but which
should especially be kept down while acting in a judi-
cial capacity. He has railed from the judgment-seat,
ground his teeth with passion, and indulged in coarse
invective against the party then before him, whose
situation, however, was far more enviable than that
of his " Learned Judge."
Unfortunately, however, there was no subordinate
officer ready or willing to take upon himself the respon-
sibility of neutralising the evils arising from the strange
and (but on one ground) incomprehensible proceed-
ings of his superior. Mr. `WITTY, a highly respect-
able gentleman has been torn from his family and
friends, from his arduous and important avocations as
editor of a provincial journal of high rank (we speak
without any private feeling, but merely from the re-
cognised position of the paper), and he has been
sent to suffer imprisonment with felons and misde-
meanants without the slightest pretext of legality,
or what could for a moment induce any person
having legal experience, and who was not labouring
under some visitation of PROVIDENCE, to suppose that
he had a jurisdiction so extraordinary. Of course
Mr. WRITTY cannot long be continued in this unto-
ward and unjustifiable position. We know little of
Sir GEORGE GREY if such a transaction could be
sanctioned for a single hour after the facts had come
to his knowledge, without every effort being made to
repair the mischief that had been occasioned. Of
course the many influential men who sympathise
with Me. WHITTY in his unmerited sufferings—and
their name is legion—will hasten to prefer their
complaints at the Home-office, and to demand
immediate redress and the instant discharge of the
victim. It is fitting that they should do so, and we
know none who would not co-operate in such a
cause. But we hope and believe that it will be un-
necessary, and that the simple narration of the facts
will be amply sufficient to insure the immediate re-
mission of the fines and the discharge of Mr. Wilms.
from incarceration.

Although the legal point lies in a nutshell,
it may be interesting to our readers to see the
provisions of the statute on which Mr. RAM-
SHAY professed to found his judgment. It will
be recollected that he inflicted three different sets of
penalties—lst, for insulting the Judge while going
to the Court, by causing a placard containing the
announcement of the publication of the Liverpool
Journal, in which was a line to this effect, " Mr.
RA.MSHAY'S opinion of the people of Liverpool," to be
posted in the vicinity of the court ; 2dly, two
separate penalties—each imprisonment for seven
days in Lancaster Castle, the one to commence
at the expiration of the other—for insulting two
bailiffs of the court ; and 3rdly, two separate penal-
ties of 51. for assaulting the same two bailiffs while in
execution of their duty. Now, the enactments ap-
plicable to these alleged offences are contained in the
9th and 10th Vic., c. 95, sees. 113 and 114, which we
transcribe verbatim, in order that there may not be
the possibility of mistake :
" And be it enacted, that if any person shall wilfully
clerk, or
insult the judge or any juror, or any bailiff
officer of the said court, for the time being, 'due
sitting or attendance in court, or in going to orrirue his
ing from the court, or shall wilfully interrupt the uprru-
ceedings of the court, or otherwise misbehave in con:t-
it shall be lawful for any bailiff or officer of the court'
with or without the assistance of any other person, by
the order of the judge, to take such offender h.to
cus-
tody, and deta'n him until the rising of the court; and
the jute shall be empowered, if he shall think fit, by a
warrant under his hand, and sealed with the seal of the
court, to commit any such offender to any prison to which
he has power to commit offenders under this Act, for
any time not exceeding seven days, or to impose upon
any such offender a fine not exceeding five pounds for
every such °Mimeo, and in default of payment thereof to
commit the offender to any such prison as aforesaid for
any time. not er.ceeding seven days, unless the said fine
be sooner paid.
" And be it enacted, that if any officer or bailiff of
any court holden under this Act shall be assaulted while
in the execution of his duty, or if an; rescue shell be
tte or attempted to he made of any goods levied nn-
(c." Preeess of the court, the person so offending shall be

to the first fine, can it for a
moment be asserted that th
the publication of the Jo/tree:ate, u
mere announcement of
lo offensive word or ex..
pression beingcontained in t
could be looked
upon as " an insult to the j wIPa et")
8e cluzing his sitting or

attendance in the court, or in going to or returning
from the court,"
,within the spirit or meaning of
the Act ? It is manifest that the intention of the,l,
e-
gislature was to afford a direct and summary methall
of vindicating the authority of the newly-created
tribunals from any gross physical violence. Fc r
any criticism or notice on the proceedings, fc r
any written attack on the judge or other officer, n( ,t
personally addressed to him, while "in," " goin g
to," or returning from court, there is at
other remedy. Hence the first alleged oi
fence—the foundation of all the subsequent pro
ceedings—did not come within the purview of tt
statute, and the conviction and fine was wholly ur (-
warrantable. 2dly. For the insult to the bailiff s,
for which the two terms of seven days' imprisonment
each were adjudged, it will be seen that
these could, in like manner, only be ix I-
flicted for wilful insult " during their sitting ,or
attendance in the court, or in going to or returnir g
from the court." But the alleged insult took pia(
in the office of Mr. WHITTY, where the bailiffs, beir g
without warrants, were mere trespassers. These
penalties were, therefore, clearly illegal, and we ttr..!&e
it for granted would appear so on the face of the
warrant. :Idly. The bailiffs, when the supposed assault
was said to have taken place, were not in the execu-
tion of their duty. As we have already said, they
were trespassers, having no means of showing their
authority. It is manifest that the "order" shou Id
have been in writing, for the only section that gives
a right of apprehension "with or without warranr"
is the 114th, and that relates to a previous assau It
committed while the parties are in execution of the it
duty. It is therefore evident that every one of the
convictions are illegal.
The first step to be taken, then, is to obtain the
immediate liberation of Mr. WnrrTir, and then it
may be ascertained what course may be essential to
prevent any further abuse of authority, and to vindi-
cate the majesty of the law from the contempt izito
which it has been brought by the strange conduct of
one of its chosen administrators.

Journalism in France looks with envy on that
picture of the social prosperity and political tranquil-
lity of England recently painted in such alluring
colours by Viscount PALMERSTON. Beautiful, heroic,
ambitious, the land of the Franks is still felt by its
children to be the abode of uncertainties fraught with
many grievous misfortunes. Citizens of a republic
yet in its infancy, they know themselves to be Hale
even now, among other calamities, to the perils of a
perennial, or at any rate of a perpetually recurring
revolution. Hence it is that, with all their sense of
their own magnificent capacities as a nation, they
continue to regard with eyes of envy the permanent
quiescence and increasing happiness secured to the
British Islands by their Constitution. From the
memorable days which preceded their first and greatest
effort at self-emancipation this generous and a ppre-
ciative view of our insular system of governme:at has
been conspicuously demonstrated. Under the Direc-
tory this preference evinced by our neighbours mani-
fested itself in mode so peculiarly remarkable as to
obtain for itself the designation of Anglomania. It
survived all the embittering remembrances of that
violent and most momentous struggle which closed
only with the restoration of the ancient dynasty,
when Europe in arms and at the gates of Paris ex-
torted from NAPOLEON two successive abdications.
Jealousies of a thousand different kinds have failed
to estrange the two most powerful races in Christen-
dom from entertaining sentiments with regard to
each other of mutual admiration. They have sedu-
lously preserved those sentiments in spite of every
opposing circumstance. They have watchei with
equal earnestness the progress of their common de-
velopment, and this we maintain—though satirists
might aver to the contrary—with emotic.ns of
a nobler description than those of a merely
petulant rivalry. Hence those testimonies of
confidence which have of late years gladdened the
hearts of our statesmen, and elevated the anticipations
of our philanthropists. When England resigned to
the compunctious entreaties, and we might almost
call it the posthumous loyalty of France, the ashes of
the wonderful hero whose downfall we had completed
by captivity, the existence of this fraternal sympathy
between the nations was rendered, we conceive, suffi-
ciently apparent. It was rendered apparent, more-
over, by those friendly interchanges of civilities which
took Queen VICTORIA to the Chateau d'Eu and
brought King LOUIS PHILIPPE to the responsive
hospitalities of Windsor. Not loss visibly was it
displayed, likewise, in the subsequent visits paid by
the French National Guards to our capital and by
the English excursionists to the sister metropolis,
visits, which, as it were, connected together a republic
and a monarchy, while it added the strength arising
from a popular alliance to the vigour previously im-
parted by the influences of diplomatic cordiality.
Within the limits of the past summer we have wit-
nessed the results of these propitious incidents in the
reception respectively accorded at the Hotel de Ville
to the London Corporation, and at the Mansion House
to the Parisian Commissioners. Our enumeration of
these very gratifying occurrences must be attributed
to the emotions of mingled pain and satisfaction with
which we heee perused the commentaries of our con-
temporaries across the Channel upon the speech re-
cently delivered to his constituents at Tiverton by
her MAIESTY'S Foreign Secretary—pain at their re-
gretful comparison of the two countries in reference
to their political situation—satisfaction at the new
and honourable evidence afforded of their laten t
homage for our institutions.
Alluding in dignified terms to the oration of Lord
PALMERSTON, the Journal des D ebats endeavours,
and not unsuccessfully, to explain in regard to France
the reason why, with all her sublime struggles to ar-
rive at the prosperous tranquillity enjoyed in England
the former has still proved, in defiance of every effort'
so very lamentably unsuccessful. Unnecessary as
explanations of the nature implied may be to the re-
reflective student in modern and midimval history,
they are, nevertheless, judicious as reminders ad-
dressed to the general population, demonstrating, as
they do, with peculiar vividness, the causes of the un-
settled condition of the French as a community. , Re-
velation, with the unthinking, has been long regarded
as the essential element of the multitude in France,
simply in consequence of their supposed fickleness as
a population. Different, however, marvellously diffe-
rent, is the estimate formed of our neighbours by
those who are in any way familiar with the facts nar-
rated during the last ten centuries by the more truth
ful among her annalists. According to their evidence
it has been recognised that the present situation of
their fellow-countrymen is traceable to no eccentricity
or volatility of temperament, but rather to the inevit-
able influences of a thousand years of arbitrary go-
vernment. Whereas, with ourselves, a free Consti-
tution has gradually risen out of the requirements of
successive generations of reformers, growing up almost
imperceptibly under the most natural and invigo-
rating auspices, with our neighbours it was altogether
otherwise, the effete but stubborn tyranny engendered
by the prineiples of feudalism having been at one
memorable epoch abruptly destroyed by an outburst
of popular indignation, the machinery of the state
broken to pieces, the incubus of the throne having
been replaced by the yet more terrible incubus of
the guillotine. Since thatfirst
exdtprleomsieonndouwsheixch-
plosion of nation al fury—that
subverted not only the pomps of royalty,
but the altars of religion—France has been striving
by a series of sublime endeavours to reconstruct the
fabric of the state, and, from the foundations of a
civilized age, to build up the fane of a new constitu-
tion. Her efforts in this direction, and those imita-
tive efforts which have also agitated the rest of the
nations of the Continent, provoking the celebrated
sarcasm of a wit not long deceased—" Make a consti-
tution, forsooth! You might as well attempt to ma-
nufacture a tree !"—have unhappily proved throughout
the source merely of very destructive commotions.
Impatient at the want of some stable and energetic,
yet liberal and generous, system of
administration,
the people of France have alternated from one project
to another, testing in turns the advantages derivable
from one or other of the various and contrasting
forms of government. A Triumvirate of the axe
under COUTHON, ST. JUST, and ROBESPIERRE ; a
Triumvirate of the sword and the pen united under
BONAPARTE, Duces, and SIEYES ; a Directory under
IJARRAS, REWI3ELL, CARNOT, LARREVELLIERE LE-
',Aux, and LETOURNEUR ; a Consulate ; an Empire ; a
Monarchy under the elder branch of the ancient dy-
nasty; a Monarchy under the younger branch or

I House of ORLEANS ; a Provisional Government; a
Republic with a Presidency—each species of adminis-
tration has been tried in succession, and each trial has
resulted in a failure altogether deplorable, until the
surrounding nations begin at length to regard with
incredulity the possibility of any satisfactory settle-
ment of the political difficulties experienced by the
population. Speaking, therefore, of the very
different attitude capable of being assumed
by England when contrasted with that
forced upon France by circumstances, the Journal des
Debats remarks, with much significance, " England
has not now, happily for her, to seek out her form of
government : she has found it, and she keeps it." As
if it were exclaimed, in addition—Not to France,
still searching for a constitution as undiscoverable, ap-
parently, as the aurunz potabile, or perpetual motion,
or the quadrature of the circle ! England, continues
the Journal des Desbats, " has no occasion for civil
war ; she has no elder or younger branch, no imperial
pretensions, no republican conspiracies ;" and then,
quoting the memorable sentence of Lord BACON, adds
—" The movement of the great influences in a go-
vernment ought to be like that of the planets, under
a primum mobile ; that is to say, that each of them
was carried away in the superior movement, while it
accomplished at the same time its proper movement."
It were well for France if she could so far call to
mind anotheepassage by the same illustrious philo-
sopher as to act upon its suggestion. " I remember,"
says BACON (Works, vol. 11., p. 551), " what hap-
pened to CALLISTHENES, that followed ALEXANDER'S
Court, and was grown into some displeasure with him,
because he could not well brook the Persian adora-
tion. At a supper, which with the Grecians was a
great part talk, he was desired, the KING being pre-
sent, because he was an eloquent man, to speak of
some theme, the praise of the Macedonian nation,
which, though it were buts fitting thing to praise
men to their faces, yet he performed it with such ad-
vantage of truth, and avoidance of flattery, and with
such life, as was much applauded by the hearers.
The KING was the less pleased with it, not loving the
man, and by way of discountenance said, It was easy
to be a good orator in a pleasing theme. But,' saith
he to him, turn your style and tell us now of our
faults, that we may have the profit and not you the
praise only ;' which he presently did with such quick-
ness, that ALEXANDER said, That malice made him
eloquent then, as the theme had done before. " Better
for France would it' prove were she, even through
the incitement of malevolence, to listen more fre-
quently rather to the criticism than to the eulogium
pronounced upon herself by the emulators of CAL-
LISTIIENES.

THE FRENCH. REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The trial of M. ROUY, the responsible editor of the
Presse (who had allowed judgment to go by default
as on the first trial), for publishing the letter of M.
VICTOR HUGO to M. VACQUERIE, the editor of the
Averzement, came on yesterday before the Court of
Assizes of the Seine. After a long trial, the jury
brought in a verdict of not guilty, and M. Rouy was
at once discharged. This acquittal is recorded with
extraordinary marks of satisfaction by a great many
papers, who think they see in it a sign of conscious-
ness on the part of the Court and jury that the ex-
treme limit of legal persecution has been reached.
The Siekle says :
"We wrote some days ago—' Times change and
juries also.' The jury has changed. The spirit which
animated the past cond.mnations has made way for
another spirit which wt. applaud this time with all our
heart. Our readers know what accusation weighed on
the responsible editor of the Presse. The jury has
done justice on it. May the verdict given yesterday
inaugurate a new era 1 The Ministry had need of a
lesson, and has received it. The vein being no longer
the same, we may now hope for some days' respite. We
congratulate the Presse, and we congratulate ourselves
also."

The Democrat du Rhin is the latest seizure in the
present crusade against the press. It is to be hoped,
however, that the outrageous attempt against the
liberty of the press, which has received so signal a
defeat in the acquittal of M. ROUY, may deal a
heavy blow and great discouragement to the enemies
of its freedom.

There is a rumour of the decline of M. LEON Fau-
CHEa in the affections of the Chief Magistrate. His
want of discretion is said to have shocked as much as
it has surprised the PRESIDENT of the Republic, who
seems to have thought that awkwardness of manner
and want of eloquence arose simply from reserve and
from good sense. The triumphal entry into Rheims,
and the mimicry in that city of the PTESIDENT'S re-
view and reception, followed by the boasting speech
at Chalons, have all tended, it is said, to deprive the
implacable persecutor of the press of the supposed sign
it had afforded of heroic courage, arising from clear
perceptions of duty and principle. With M. FAUCHER
it is rumoured that the Minister of Justice, identified
with him in this unparalleled persecution, must also
turn out. M. ODILON BARROT is talked of as the
new Premier, and he will be prepared to propose a
modification of the electoral law of the 31st May,
which, while it offends the Republicans, is the great
obstacle to the PRESIDENT'S own chance of having
his powers renewed through a vivid manifestation of
popular feeling.
The Procureur of the Republic has commenced a
prosecution of the Patric for having published, in its
numbers of the 17th and 28th, sundry documents re-
lative to the plot of the French and foreign revolu-
tionary committees; such publication being a viola-
tion of the law of the 29th July, 1849, which pro-
hibits the printing of papers connected with a criminal
case in course of investigation.

Apropos of the Belgian elections, the Univers con-
tains an attack upon King LEOPOLD, which must
serve to raise his MAJESTY in the esteem of enlight-
ened Europe. In this attack it includes the King of
PIEDMONT, and both on the same ground of conspir-
ing with revolutionists and heretics. The Fusionist
journal gives a melancholy proof of the depths of
terrurothr prepared
epabry degreeswho,edfortlaosientoutter
apostacy. Speaking beginning to trifle with
of the miracle-mongering, heretic burning Univers,
the Fusionist organ says—

"It` has for buckler truth and faith; its sword is
double-edged, and the hand which holds it firm and bold."
From the same paper, the Assenzblie Nationale, we
take the following compliments to Mr. GLADSTONE :
" The Neapolitan Government has published a direct
reply to the calumnies of Mr. Gladstone. We shall
only make one remark upon it. The Neapolitan Go-
vernment expresses itself with exemplary moderation,
indeed we should say, with excessive moderation, on
the injustice and the violence directed against it. Its
only thought appeared to be to demonstrate the falsehood
of the English writer's assertions with regard to the
mode of trial for political offences, and the treatment of
political criminals in the kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
No man of good faith, after reading these explanations of
the Neapolitan Government, can hesitate in his opinion
about such lying assertions."
What will Lord ABERDEEN and Mr. GLADSTONE
think of their dear friend who " inspires," as the
French locution is, the politics of the Fusionist
Journal ?

The Gazette de France says :
" We learn that a meeting of the delegates of the
Electoral Committees du droit national of the six de-
partments of the south, lately held it Avignon, unani-
mously decided that M. de Larochejaquelein shall be
toe candidate of the Legitimatists for the Presidency."
Count BATTLIYANI, who arrived at Marseilles in the
Mississippi, with Kossum and the other Hungarian
refugees, is at present in Paris, where he intends to
take up his residence.

1848. His MAJESTY is said to have received them
graciously, and to have held out some hopes to them
that these requests would be complied with.
Both in Milan and Peschiera, as well as Verona,
the EMPEROR granted full pardon to several political
offenders.

Accounts from the Manilla islands to the sth June
represent that the pirates, though repeatedly defeated
by the Spaniards, had invaded some defenceless parts
and had committed great atrocities. The Captain-
General proposed to form two ports at Mindano and
Jolo, to protect commerce.
The severities lately exercised against the press
have had en opposite effect to what was probably in-
tended. The tribunals, though composed of judges
of first instance, removable at pleasure, have acquitted
the Epoca. Senor SEIJAs, late Minister of Public
Ins,truetion, chfenth,d the journal. Two satirical
papers, the illundo Nuevo and Murga, both now de-
funct, have been prosecuted and acquitted. The
former was defended by Senor PACHECO. Two pro-
vincial journals, the Nacional and the Progreso of
Cadiz, have also just been acquitted; and the tiscPAl, or
crown prosecutor, having appealed, in the case of
the Nacional, to the Audencia Cuurt of Seville, the
latter has confirmed the sentence of the Cadiz

A Comic NAP.—On Wednesday evening a re•
spectable individual, residing not far from Alexandria, Dum-
bartonshire, made a rather unfortunate mistake. Having
been paying his respects to John Barleycorn rather too
freely in the course of the evening, it will not be wondered
at that he should have mistaken his road home, and that, in-
stead of keeping on the north, he found his way to the south
side of the river. He had, in fact, got the length of Muir
louse-toll, at the head of Eglinton• street, when feeling
somewhaat bewildred as to his whereabout, he sat down at
the road-side to recollect himself. In the attempt, however,
he fell fast asleep, and only awakened in the morning to find
that he was still some twenty miles front his destination, and
that a patent lever watch which he had in his pocket on the
preTim evening wal gone.—.olasgozo ~host.
