NOVEMBER 7, 1851.

ment from him respecting the previous elections for
St. Alban's, in which he was concerned. He then
proceeded to state that, at the election for 1847, there
were four candidates in the field, viz., the lion. Mr.
Craven (Liberal), Mr. Repton (Conservative), Mr.
Wilks (Liberal), and Mr. Raphael (Liberal). The
Liberal party was at that time somewhat divided. It

was the wish of the principals, both of the Conserva-
tive and the Liqeral parties, that, if possible, there
should be no opposition, as the only means of doing
away with the system which was now so much com-
plained of. To effect that object, each party agreed
to give witness a fee for not interfering at all. This
agreement was made between Mr. Blagg, on the part
of the Conservatives, and Mr. Coppock, on the part of
the Liberals; the terms were, that each should give
him 250/. ; and, upon the assurance that they
would each pay him that sum, he agreed
to take no part in the election. This bore on the
evidence which had been given by Mr. Coppock,
to the effect that witness had broken faith with him.
In consequence of this agreement witness kept aloof
until there were three candidates in the field. He
then called upon Mr. Coppock, and asked him whether
the assurance he had received from him and Mr.
Blagg would hold good provided Mr. Craven did not
succeed. Mr. Coppock said he had certainly under-
stood that the payment of his 2501. was contingent
upon Mr. Craven's success. Witness said to him
'that the result would be that he would lose Mr.
Craven, and witness would lose his position, and
neither of them would get anything. Witness told
him that he must pay him whether Mr. Craven got
-in or not. There were at that time three candidates
in the field—viz., Mr. Craven, Mr. Wilks, and Mr.
Repton. There was no chance of Mr. Craven getting
in. Witness then left Mr. Coppock, who was very
angry with him because he considered he had broken
faith with him. Witness had long had Mr. Raphael in
view as a candidate for the borough through a rela-
tion of witness's who was a tenant of Mr. Raphael.
He immediately called upon his relative on the sub-
ject, and was told that Mr. Raphael was on the conti-
nent.
His friend, however, wrote to him, at wit-
ness's request, mentioning the terms upon which he
.would undertake his election, for he was generally
very explicit on that point. Those terms were
3,0001. as the expense of a contested election, out of
which he would expect 5001. for himself. The re-
sult was that Mr. Raphael came to England and
had an interview with witness. Mr. Raphael made
no objection to the terms, but there was, nevertheless,
considerable difficulty in getting him to make up his
mind positively to stand. Before Mr. Raphael had de-
termined to come, there was a requisition presented to
witness pledging the subscribers to support whoever
he should bring forward. A day or two after he had
been in communication with Mr. Raphael, and while
that gentleman was still hesitating, he received a visit
it his farm from a gentleman on the part of Mr.
Montague Gore. He told that gentleman how he
was situated with Air. Raphael ; but, not wishing to
lose Mr. Gore, he went to town with the gentleman
and saw a solicitor in Lincln's-inn-fields ou the sub-
ject. The result was that Mr. Gore declined to come.
The same offer was made to Mr. Gore es to Mr. Ra-
phael. Mr. Gore called himself, he believed, a Li-
beral Conservative. Mr. Raphael was a Radical. He
proposed to take Mr. Gore if Mr. Raphael had de-
clined his offer, with the assurance of being able to
carry him. Politics had little to do with the matter.
lie went back again to Mr. Raphael, and urged him
to make up his mind on the subject, one way or other.
The result was that Mr. Raphael agreed to become a
candidate, and to spend 3,0001. He ultimately spent
3,5001. During the canvass, Mr. Raphael said to
him, in the presence of several others, that if witness
succeeded in placing him at the head of the poll, he
would make up the sum to 5,000/. ; but he never did
so. Mr. Raphael came to St. Alban's accompanied by
Mr. Mullens, his solicitor, Mr. Simpson, and Mr.
Bryant (his tenant), who introduchd witness to him.
They met many of the voters in the usual way, and
had 120 promises of support before the bag was
opend at all.—(A laugh) The office in which the
business was done was not in Sovereign• alley, but in
a place equally convenient, opposite the Town-hall.
Witness's party knew that Mr. Raphael was a man
of money. They were quite aware that witness
would not have taken him if he had not been.—
(Laughter) Mr. Raphael was ultimately placed at
the head of the poll, the numbers being :—For Mr.
Raphael, 295 • for Mr. Repton, 276 ; for Mr. Wilks,
230 ; and for Mlr. Craven, 126. On that occasian he
had the assistance of Mr. Simpson (then Mr. 131agg's
clerk), for which he agreed to give him one-third of
whatever he received. Mr. Simpson got 1661.138. 4d.
That was rather an extravagant election. The prices
of votes ranged between 71. and 251. ; but it should
be understood that, in addition to carrying Mr.
Raphael, he had in view the return of Mr. Repton ;
so that he had to pay for two votes instead of one.
Mr. Repton's friends had bound him down so very
close with regard to money matters—in obedience, it
was understood, to the wish of a neighbouring noble-
man—that Mr. I3lagg, his agent, had not the means
of paying his voters. In point of fact, it might be
said that Mr. Raphael's money bought Mr. Repton's
election. To assist Mr. Blagg in his operations for
Mr. Repton, witness lent him 5001., which was re-
paid to him shortly after the election. As an in-
ducement to witness to exert himself for Mr.
Repton, Mr. Blagg agreed to give him one-half of
whatever fee he received, which he did. There
were 16 Conservatives who plumped for Mr. Rep-
ton ; all the others who voted split their votes
between Repton and Raphael. Of the 295 who
voted for Mr. Raphael, 265 were paid by witness.
There were only about 30 voters unbribed; six of
whom were Liberals and 24 Conservatives. He be-
lieved that money was spent on the other side as
well, but ho did not know of his own knowledge.
Mr. Harris was the agent for Mr. Wilks, and still re-
sided in St. Alban's, and could be examined. Mr.
Gibson was the agent for Mr. Craven, but he was
residing at Boulogne, and witness did not think he
could be seen. Witness had heard the term heavy
weight" applied to some voters, but not often. Ile
had heard persons who had received as high as 25/.
for their votes called " heavy weight." The persons
who received 251. were rather of a different class of
society from those who received smaller sums. They
were generally small tradesmen. There were 29
electors who voted for Sir It. Carden at the last
election who received money from him for their votes
in 1847. Other 23 had received money from him on
previous occasions ; making in all 52 of the 147 purity
gentlemen who had received head-money on previous
occasions. Witness being asked by the Commissioner
to state the names of those to whom he had paid head-
money in 1847, suggested that the shorter way
would be for him to mention the names
of those who had. not received head-money
from him, and the Commissioners would see
from the remaining names on the register who
had received money. This course was accordingly
adopted, and Mr. Edwards mentioned the names of
29 of Raphael's voters to whom he had not paid mo-
ney. He could not name those who had received
large sums. He remembered one who had received
451., viz., 101. from himself and 251. from Mr. Blagg,
besides Si. more from each of them to fetch a particu-
lar voter, which he never did. That was the highest
sum he ever knew to be paid. Witness did not make
much himself out of Mr. Raphael's election.
The Commissioners here asked if Mr. Edwards
could give them any idea of the sums that had passed
through his hands since the passing of the Reform Bill
in the shape of bribery ?
Mr. Edwards said he would endeavour to give them
some idea of it ; but he did not like the word " bri-
bery." He called it " head-money."
Mr. Phin—lt smells as nasty by any other name,
does it not.
Mr. Edwards—Well, I believe it does. Witness
then proceeded to state the gross sums which the dif-
ferent elections in which he had been engaged had
cost. In 18132 Mr. Ward's election cost 2,0001,
perhaps 2,4001. or 0,500/. In 1835 Mr. Ward's
election cost 2,400/. In 1837 Mr. Mnskett's elec-
tion cost from 1,8001. to 2,0001. In February,
1841, Lord Listowel's election cost 3,0001.; and
in June, 1841, 0,000/. There was more spent
by witness, but not repaid, making nearly another
1,0001. In 1846, Mr. Cabbell's election cost 5001.
Mr. Raphael's election in 1847 cost 3,5001. ;
and Mr. Bell's, in 1850, cost 2,800/. ; making
altogether about 19,000/. This was the cost of eke-
tions on his own side only. He calculated that about
two-thirds of the money were spent in paying voters
and about one-third for incidental expenses. His ex •
perience agreed with Mr. Blagg's, that the new elec-
tors introduced by the Reform Bill were more extra-
vagant in their demands than the old electors. But
although, under the old system, the voters did not
cost so much, the gross expense of an election was
more than at present. He had Imo ern a public-house
hill, for instance, cost 3001. There was also t'ne ex-
pense of bringing up the outlying freemen, which was
very greet, as they used to come with their whole
families, including even their grandchildren.—
(Laughter.) Before the passing of the Reform Bill
he calculated that about two-thirds of the cost of an
election would be spent in treating and incidental
expenses, and about one-third in
paying voters. The
rule formerly was, to pay the elector after voting ;
the general rule now was to pay him before. Not
one in ten persons thought such payments bribery.
He had never known a member for St. Alban's

[PRICE SD.

unseated for bribery. There had been three
petitions on the ground of bribery since the
passing of the Reform Bill, all of which
had failed. The first petition was against
the return of Lord Listowel in 1841. That petition
was compromised in some way or another. The next
was against the return of Mr. Cabbell, and was a
mere ruse. It was never brought before a Committee.
The third petition was against Mr. Bell's return.
He had seen the bribery oath administered at the
hustings, but not frequently. He bad known per-
smis who had previously received head-money take
the oath that they had not been bribed. The oath
was not administered at Mr. Bell's election, bat it
was at Lord Listowel's election in February, 1841.
He did not know whether Mr. Raphael was aware at
the time that money was being paid to the voters,
but he knew afterwards. Mr. Cabbell said he was
willing to pay all legal expenses, and witness regretted
to say he he told him he had paid none but legal ex-
penses, and, the gross sum being so small, Mr.
Cabbell probably believed him. Mr. Cabbell was
raturned for a small sum, in consequence of witness
being actuated by a great deal of spite and malice at
the time. He was quite satisfied that he could have
returned Mr. Bell also for 5001. if he had liked, he

had so much influence with the electors. He pre-
served his influence with the voters by personal

kindness in every way. He did not think he
could bring home to any of the candidates the fact
of their being cognizant of the payment of head money.
Mr. Blagg was then examined with reference to
previous elections. He stated that his experience
extended to ten elections ; indeed, to all since the
passing of the Reform Bill. He generally acted as
agent for the Conservative party, but not always. Ia
1835 he merely assisted Mr. Storey,
who was then
the Conservative agent. In 1846, at Mr. B. Cab-
bell's election, he assisted Mr. Edwards, but there
was no compact between them. He admitted that in
1847 money did pass his hands for the purpose of
election, but not much, for, in consequence of the
pledge which was exacted from Mr. Repton by
neighbouring nobleman (Lord Verulam) that he
should not spend money in purchasing votes, Mr.
Repton exacted a similar pledge from witness. The
whole cost of Mr. Repton's election, including wit-
ness's agency fee of 3001., was 1,2001. The sum of
5001., which he borrowed from Mr. Edwards and
afterwards repaid, was included in that 1,200/. Out
of the 9001. which was spent in Mr. Repton's election
(exclusive of witness's fee of 3001.), 500/. was paid
tor votes. Of the 216 electors who voted for Mr.
Repton 120 were paid by witness for their votes. He
did not pay any one more than Si. or 61. As he
already said, he was not in a condition to give much.
He was like a man with his hands tied. He
believed that the agents of the other candidates,
Mr. Wilks and Mr. Craven bribed their
voters too. Mr. Repton was not cognizant of
the bribery in his own case, either before or after
the election. Witness gave him an account of the
expenses, but he admitted that it was a colourable
account, intended to blind the eyes of Mr. Repton as
to what he had done with the sums paid as head-
money. He paid many of the voters much less than
51. He paid some of them as low as 2/. and 11. The
greatest sum he had known spent on the Conservative
side was at the general election in 1841. The candi-
dates then were Mr. Repton, Mr. Worley, Lord Lis-
towel, and Mr. Muskett. The two former were Con-

servatives, and the other Liberal. The expenses of
the two onservative candidates were about 3,5001.
Witness had funds at his control above that amount,
but he returned some that was not spent. About
two-thirds of the money were spent in paying voters.
Going back to the first election with which he was
connected as agent, viz., in 1832, he stated that the
candidates then were Mr. (now Sir) 11. G. Ward,
Sir P. Vincent, and Mr. Turner. The expenses in-
curred by Mr. Turner, the Conservative candidate
(including 780/. of unpaid tradesmen's bills), was
3,780/. ; but then there was a six months' canvass,
from June to December. The next election took
place in 1835, when the expenses of the Conservative
candidate (Mr. Grimstone), including the payment of
the tradesmen's bills previously incurred, but not paid,
by Mr. Turner, was between 1,5001. and 1,6001. -Wit-
ness stipulated that if these bills were paid he woula con- ,
duct the election without taking any fee for hitaself ; I
his object being to place himself in a favourable po-
sition with the persons to whom the bills were owing.
Exclusive of these bills, the expenses would have' been
about 1,0001. This, however, did not includie the
expenses of the second Conservative candidate, the
lion. Mr. Beresford. In 1837 the candidates were
Mr. Grimstone and Mr. B. Cabbell (Conservative),
and Mr. Muskett (Liberal). Mr. Grimston's ex-
penses on that occasion were about 1,800/., certainly
under 2,0001., arid Mr. Cabbell's about 1,0001. Mr.
Cabbell having lost the election witness made no
charge for his services as agent. In February, 1841,
Mr. Cabbell was again a candidate, when his expenses
were under 1,000/. There was such a lavish tetpen-
ditcre on the part of Lord Listowell, the Liberal can-
didate on that occasion, and Mr. Cabbell was so little
inclined to advance funds, that witness told. Mr.
Cabbell very early in the canvass that he had no
chance whatever. In 1841 the Conservative can-
didates were Mr. Repton and Mr. Wortley, ansi the
Liberal candidates were Lord Listowell and Mr.
Muskett. The expenditure of the two Conservative
candidates, as he had already stated, was 3,500 E. In
1848 he assisted Mr. Edwards in the election of Mr.
Cabbell, but not professionally, and he had no know-
ledge of the expenditure beyond what he had beard
from Edwards. lle had already spoken of the election
in 1847. Mr. Wilks, one of the Liberal candidates
on that occasion, was rather a formidable opponent,
being exceedingly popular with a large class of voters,
and witness therefore agreed that if Mr. Edwards
would exert himself to secure Mr. Repton's return he
would divide his fee with him. The total cost of the
Conservative elections since the passing of the Reform
Bill would be about 13,2801., exclusive of Mr. Beres-
ford's expenses in 1835, which he understood were
about 2,0001. Including them the total would be
15,2801. All these facts, he begged to observe, were
given from memory. lie concurred with Mr. Ed-
wards in thinking that abou.: two-thirds of the ex-
pense were incurred in paying voters, and the witness
was certain that landlords frequently gave a receipt to
tenants for 101. rent, when the payment was only 71.
or 8/. This was done for the sake of being placed on
the register. lie did not think the bribery oath had
ever been administered in the borough except at the
election to which Mr. Edwards referred viz., Lord
Listowel's in 1841. It was then administered to
every voter, and he did not recollect one who refused
to swallow it. Ile remembered one who gave up the
money he had received before taking the oath, and then
went back for it after he had voted.—(A laugh.) Ile
was a Roman Catholic voter who was not now living

in the town. In the elections in which witness had
been engaged the candidate generally knew nothing
of head•money being given. He had always care-
fully endeavoured to conceal it from them. Witness
then stated, that of the '29 supporters of Mr. Raphael
who had not received money from Mr. Edwards, two
had received money from himself; and that out of 147
supporters of Sir R. Carden, 21 had received head-
money from him on previous occasions. This was in
addition to those who had received money from Mr.
Edwards. Witness here mentioned the names of 17
of them. There were a few others he was rather
doubtful about. Sir R. Carden had stated on the pre-
vious day that by a small expenditure of money he
could at the eleventh hour have gained over seme of
Mr. Bell's supporters. 'Witness's experience justified
him stating that was a mistake, and that there was not
a borough in England whore the electors were more
faithful to their promises, when once made, than in

speaking, a Liberal in his sentiments. His votes de-
pended on circumstances. He had voted for a Con.
servative once or twice. Mr. Harris managed the
pecuniary transactions of Mr. Wilks's election. Wit-
ness had nothing to do with them. His fee was 25
guineas ; but, in addition to that, he received a present
from Mr. Wilks after the election. Mr. Willis got
230 votes. He believed his whole election expenses
amounted to about 1,0001. Witness was not cogni-
zant of money being paid to any of Mr. Wilks's
voters. Certainly no money had passed through his
hands for that purpose. Mr. Wilks was supported by
the Dissenters and others of the Liberal party. There
were 72 electors who split their votes between Mr.
Raphael and Mr. Wilks, and 95 who did the same
between Mr. Craven and Mr. \Vas, There were
24 plumpers.for Mr. Raphael. Yr. Wilks was not so
Radical as Mr. Raphael. Witness never expected
that Mr. Wilks would succeed without putting his,s
hand in his pocket. lie remembered hearing

SITE of the NATIONAL GALLERY
NEAR HYDE-PARK.
TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES.
Sir,—Your proposal to remove the nuisance of the
Knightsbridge barracks, and substitute a national
gallery for them, appears t 3 be the keystone to a
series of great metropolitan improvements, urgently
wanted in that locality. Our finest park along its
who'd south line is debased by the meanest of build-
ings, broken palings, open drains, &e., and I hope
your article may prove to be the first thrust which
will make the borders of Hyde-park creditable. The
public and the whole neighbourhood, with the Chief
Justice at their head, will support both your sugges-
tion as well as the removal of all the wretched houses
which abut on the Park from the barracks to Albert-
gate, if not as far as Park-side tower& Apsley-
house. Mr. Thomas Cubitt once made a proposition
to remove this latter row of petty structures, and
build in its place suitable terraces fronting lyde-
park, and my Lord Lincoln and Sir Robert Peel
were nearly giving effect to it, when a change of
Ministry put an end to Mr. Cubitt's scheme. But, if
we are to consider the removal of the barracks, with
the erection ofanationalgallery, now is the time for the
public to demand a thorough improvement. Besides,
and,Belg rifavGiaovneornwmhas risen to strengthen the proposal,

The National Gallery, with ample space to expand,
would make a suitable structure at the west of the
Crystal Palace, while a building for the School of
Design might properly be placed at the east of it, and
the Crystal Palace would be a sheltered orange grove
between them. Indeed, the whole of the road to
Kensington, at intervals only, as far as Kensington
Palace, might be applied to ornamental public struc-
tures, having an instructional destination. Every
one would be benefited by the erection of buildings
more suitable to the decoration of a park than the

nisters to bring forward this series of improvements in
the next session of Parliament.
Your obedient servant,

F. S.

(From the Times.)
Our suggestion of a site for the proposed National
Gallery has met with unexpected, and almost uni-
versal concurrence. We believe we may say that the
Royal Commissioners for the Exhibition, and even
the Woods and Forests, are disposed to take it up, the
only opposition hitherto being from an illustrious ob-
jector, always the last to surrender any post in his
keeping. It may readily be conceded that Knights-
bridge Barracks are a very convenient military posi-
tion, commanding the park and the road as well as
the various main thoroughfares converging at the
point. It may be conceded that it is necessary there
should be barracks somewhere in that neighbourhood,
and communicating readily with the park and the
western roads. But it does not follow that any posi-
tion possessing these advantages in this peaceful
metropolis should be forthwith added to the dominion
of the Horse Guards, or always retained in that do-
minion. It unfortunately happens that the qualifica-
tions for the site of a national gallery, as described in
the report of the Commissioners, are precisely those for
the site of cavalry barracks, viz., the combinations of a
park, a good thoroughfare, a dry soil, and a pure air.
Several such sites, however, can be found, equally
adapted for cavalry, but not equally adapted for pic-
tures. A national gallery ought to be a conspicuous
building ; cavalry barracks ought to be the very con-
trary. One of the best military positions in the me-
tropolis is Apsley-house, and if revolutions and
erneutes were ordinary occurrences here it would cer-
tainly he advisable to place a large section of the
household troops under the Commander-in-Chief's
domestic superintendence. But the contingency of
civil preference over war in the choice of localities,
and we are quite content to see a private mansion on
the one side and a large hospital on the other occupy-
ing the commanding position of Hyde-park-corner.
Then, why should not Knightsbridge barracks be
removed from a site they are so utterly unworthy to
fill, and give place to a better ?
The whole of the long and narrow strip between
Hyde-park and Kensington-road is so well adapted
for public buildings of an ornamental character that
it is a matter of great regret it should have been cut
in two by the twin giants at Albert-gate. But west
of thm singular edifices there is still a large area
which at no very extravagant cost could be obtained
for a gallery equal to that famous one joining the
Louvre and the Tuileries. The basement, of course,
would be appropriated to sculpture, and the gallery
above would be lighted, like that of the Louvre, by
skylights, some sixty or seventy feet above the
dust and noise of the road. There are not many
sites, especially in this metropolis, where so
long a building would be either possible or even de-
sirable ; but it so happens that an ornamental screen
is the very thing that is wanted in this instance.
Strangers are not a little surprised—not to say dis-
gusted—when, after entering the 'park from Picca-
dilly, and surveying the splendid panorama of Hyde-
park-corner, they suddenly come on .the back of a
long row of fifth-rate houses, all presenting their un-
seemly backs, slovenly gardens, and disagreeable
offices to Hyde-park. The first wonder is how they
ever came there ; and the next, why they are per-
mitted to stand in the midst of so much splendour.
If they were rural structures—if they were even
shabby genteel, or respectably homely, they would be
tolerable; as it is they are simply vulgar and offen.
sive. They ought to be hidden, if not removed; but
the more natural course is to remove them, together
with the barracks. " Halfway-house," so ear to the
memory, has long since given way way to the genius
of improvement, and it is high time that Knights-
bridge itself should be reformed. As for the bar-
racks, we have already said enough, if it is possible
to say enough, of their unsightly and even scan-
dalous aspect. W e never pass them without congratu-
lating ourselves that the Kensington-road is not now
the route of a long passenger ttaffic. Tne foreigner
or the provincial visitor from the south-western ports
and counties is not now greeted with the sight of
soldiers lounging at open windows in their shirt
sleeves, trousers hung cut to dry, belts under the pro-
cess of pipeclaying, questionable-looking women, and
other invariable signs of barrack life, as his first spe-
cimen of the great metropolis. He has something
more decent, if not more picturesque to look at, as
be rolls by the villas of Paddington or over the roofs
of Lambeth. But a nuisance is u nuisance whether
it is seen by many or by few, and whether it is strange
or familiar. _

Economy itself suggests the desirableness of having
a really handsome and capacious gallery, in the best
situation that can be found for it. All the authorities.
have stated it as a uniform rule that a good receptacle
fills itself where public collections are concerned..
Find a proper gallery for pictures, or any other objects+
of interest, and private collections will begin to flow.
into it ; for collectors are apt to care more for their
collections than for their relatives. As, however,.
waiting for testamentary benevolence is rather a slow.
process, we beg to suggest a mode of appeal to
spirit which promises speedier results. Let_ tubtrou
owners of picture galleries be invited to lend few,

Unless a new charter be granted by her Most
Gracious MAJESTY to the Royal Commissioners, it is
certain that the Crystal Palace will be doomed to de-
struction. From the latest document issued by those
authorities, it is manifest that no consideration will
induce them to interfere simply upon the prompting
of their own judgment to preserve the building of the
Fexhibition. Those, therefore, who coincide with
ourselves in regarding the ultimate decision of the
Government in this matter with solicitude, must con-
tinue to await with anxiety the final announcement of
the pleasure of the SOVEREIGN. Arguments almost
innumerable have already been advanced upon both
sides of the question ; but throughout them all we
cannot but insist that the preponderance of
justice lies unquestionably upon the side of the
sticklers for preservation. It must be admitted,
moreover, that no valid reason has, up to
this moment, been adduced, showing that the
continuance of the Crystal Palace in Hyde-
park would be detrimental to the interests of
thoe aristocratic families who are residents in the im-
mediate neighbourhood. Whether—we ask—would it
be preferable to do away with the Knightsbridge
barracks, and to preserve the structure of the once
flourishing Exposition, or to remove the latter and
retain the former as a never-ending source of an
noyance to the whole of the surrounding locality ?
This alternative is not inappropriately put, under ex-
isting circumstances ; for the change hinted at is
really projected by those who are striving to secure
the advantages of a jardin d'hiver to the
metropolis. We fancy it must be allowed to be
altogether incontestable that the maintenance of
the
Knightsbridge barracks and the adjacent riding-
school in that particular quarter of the English capi-
tal is the source of a very grievous and indefensible
nuisance ; more especially when it is remembered that
those edifices form part of all sorts of low taverns and
degenerate eating-houses, where the fumes of the
rankest of tobaccos, and of the stalest, flattest,
and most Unprofitable small beer, infect the atmos-
phere of Prince's-gate, an atmosphere which
should breathe rather the perfumes of attar
of roses and of the aromatic apices
of
Araby the Blest. Let the distinguished personages
who have complained so very bitterly of the possibi-
lity of having their lordly precincts marred by the
presence of the Crystal Palace in perpetuo, imagine
to themselves the delight of seeing destroyed in " one
fell swoop," not that fairy-like structure conjured up
from the grass of Hyde-park by the magical interpo-
sition of Sir CHARLES Fox and of Sir JosErEt PAS-
v"—but the barracks, and the riding-school, and the
vulgar taprooms, and the plebeian coffee-houses, and
the other rascally abominations of the locality, which
must assuredly have caused emotions of anguish, "many
a time
and oft," to their high, mighty, and puissant
natures. Without in any way sympthising in the
lackadaisical horror entertained by these coal-con-
tents for anything whatever associated with the com-
forts or the amusements of the labouring population,
we must, nevertheless, avow at once that we should
regard as not the least among the projected improve-
ments of the metropolis, the removal of the squalid
And straggling group of domiciles clustered on the
borders of Hyde-park, at Knightsbridge. By con-
senting to the continuance of the Crystal Palace the
inhabitants of that quarter of the West end might
have a right to require some such advantage es
the one here intimated—an advantage, we are
satisfied, of sufficient importance to compen-
sate for whatever inconvenience might be expe-
rienced by the building up of a dozen Crystal
Palaces. Equally certain is it, we conceive, that the
iinkhorities connected with the Woods And Forests

Some time since we asserted that the interests of
the different branches of the legal profession were one
and indivisible, that neither could intrude on the
province of the other without considerable injury to
both. We are equally convinced that the community
at large would participate in the damage that would
inevitably follow a formidable blow inflicted on the
respectable members of either party, We believe it
to be for the benefit of society that the line of de-
marcation should be clearly 'marked out,
and that it should be distinctly arranged
what are the functions of each, and where the
neutral ground on which they may meet without
dispute or difference. The speedy solution of this
doubtful question becomes a matter of the most vital
importance. A new County Court Bill will un-
questionably be introduced at the very commence-
ment of the approaching session, and it is more than
probable that other measures of legal reform will
rapidly follow, the great majority of which will pro-
bably receive the legislative sanction before the proro-
gation of Parliament. It will then be ascertained
whether any broken-down tradesman or uncertificated
bankrupt is to be allowed to seek for business by
means that would be alike repudiated by, as they
would be forbidden to, every educated gentleman who
felt himself to be the member of an honourable pro-
fession. We shall see whether laymen are to be per-
mitted to issue cards or advertisements, styling them-
selves " agents to" or " for " the County Courts, in
order to impress the unwary with the notion that they
—the touters—held some official rank or station, and
thus obtain the means of obtaining sums of money,
far more than would satisfy legitimate practitioners,
and also whether such self dubbed advocates could lay
aside their assumed position, and act as assistants to
the bailiff of the court for the time being. It may
certainly simplify matters if the same individual
should perform every duty connected—should not
only issue the plaint but serve the summons, prepare
the brief, and act as the advocate, but wind up his
services by arresting the person of tie defaulting
creditor and depositing him in safe custody.
All these matters may be very convenient, but it
does appear as if some species of security should be
afforded for the efficiency and integrity of these very
general practitioners. It might otherwise turn out
chat the supposed cheap remedy was the dearest
after all, and that the cl'ent may lose a just demand,
either through the incompetency or knavery,: of the
person into whose hands he had fallen, and against
whom he could have no adequate remedy—who could
neither be " disbarred" or " struck off the
rolls" for any gross and palpable fraud,
or glaring violation of professional etiquette.
The country requires cheap law and expeditious law,
but it will not be contented with bad law. It is the
interest of attorney as well as barrister to acquiesce
willingly in all the changes that may be required to
achieve these great desiderata, and to be prepared to
co-operate cordially in bringing them into operation,
although they might be attended with some supposed
sacrifice of their own pecuniary profits. We say
" ampposed" sacrifice, for we are convinced that al-
though there might be some temporary losses during
the state of transition, they would eventually be
gainers by the alterations, which would place a legal
remedy within the reach of every person, even the
very humblest, who had sustained an unwarranted
injury.

The accounts of the King of HANOVER'S health,
telegraphed to Berlin on the 4th, were less fa-
vourable than those of the two preceding days. The
official bulletin, issued at Hanover on the 3d, stated—
•' The King has passed a tolerable night; the symp-
toms remain unaltered."

For this purpose then, and in common self-defence,
they should see that the points of difference at present
existing should be promptly and satisfactorily ar-
ranged. It is complained, and with too much foun-
dation on the part of the Bar, that in many instances
the attorneys have combined to monopolise the
business of the County Courts in which
they practise, and to oust the other branch
from any share whatsoever in the proceedings.
It is even said that frequently one gentleman
prepare a brief, and having duly marked the fee
as if for a barrister—and by no means less in amount
then hand it to a member of his own profession to
argue. This practice, if persevered in, must prove
fatal, as the greater
portion of the legal business of
the country has already been drawn into the County
Courts, and a still larger proportion is gradually fol-

may proceed to lengths which neither party can at

solicitors might not be so very great when
they had a number of astute and learned
men contesting with them every point from

SMITHPIELD.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export. Prices remain without alteration.—
The Share Market was quiet, at rather lower prices.
In the produce markets prices have gone lower very
generally this week. Sugar is .decidedly cheaper, and
Coffee has not maintained the previous value. Rico has
been well supported, and some Spices havo been heavier
Saltpetre is down, and Indigo, since the account of the
probable increased crop, is drooping. A moderate bu-
siness has been done in Tea and Tallow. Cotton has
been supported. Surat at auction, on Thursday, was
taken in at 3id. to 3id. per lb. Upon the state of the
Metal market Messrs. William Short and Co. advise us
that during the past month Welch Iron has been ne-
glected, and rails have been sold at 41. 12s. 6d„ which
price can now be realised with difficulty. Bars are
almost neglected, and considering the extent of the
make, the transactions are trifling and limited to actual
wants. Scotch Pigs are not so firm as last month, and
prices 6d. per ton lower. Copper has advanced id. per
lb. Tin is unaltered; but we have had some transac-
tions in Banes, and prices seem likely to advance a
little. Lead without change. Spelter has declined fully
10s. Our stock has reached the enormous amount of
13,600 tons, a quantity without precedent in the history
of this article.

The supply of Beasts on offer here to-day was very
moderate, both as to number and quality. The attend-
ance of buyers was limited; nevertheless, the primest
Scots, &c., commanded a steady sale, at fully Monday's
decline in the quotations. A good clearance was effected
of other breeds, at late rates. With Sheep—both Eng-
lish and Foreign—we were very scantily supplied. On
the whole the Mutton trade was firm, at prices equal to
those obtained last week. Very few Calves were on
sale, yet they were quite equal to the wants of the
butchers. In their value we have no change to report.
For Pigs the inquiry was heavy, at previous currencies.
Milch Cows were dull in sale, at from 141 to 181 each,
including their small Calf.

The holders of Venezuela Bonds, at their public
meeting yesterday afternoon, agreed to the arrangement
effected by their agent, Mr. Lord; and the chairman,
Mr. J. D. Powles, expressed a strong opinion that the
Republic could act up to its promises if it chose, the re-
venue last year having been over 31 millions of dollars.
As to the honesty of the Government, it kept faith until
the suspension of Reid, Irving, and Co., viz., from 1840
till 1847, and might therefore do so again. The bond-
holders voted a commission of 2i per cent. to Mr.
Lord upon the arrears of the dividend to the Ist April
last, and passed the following among other resolutions:—
"That this meeting is induced to confirm the afore-
said agreement in the full assurance that the Govern-
ment of Venezuela will henceforth discharge the interest
on its foreign debt with the same punctuality which it
had observed previously to the year 1847.
" That this meeting observes by the statement of the
Minister of Finance et Venezuela that the portion of the
revenue of the customs assigned to the interest of the
foreign debt is amply sufficient for the purpose, and this
meeting relies that, it at any time it shall be found in-
adequate thereto, the Venezuelan Government will not
fail to assign a larger portion of the said revenue to this
object, or to make such other provision as may be ne-
cessary for the same, the concessions made by the
bondholders on the occasion of the adjustment of the
Venezuela foreign debt in 1840 having been so made on
the solemn assurance of the Venezuelan Government
that its engagements would be faithfully discharged.
" That this meeting entirely concurs in the recom-
mendation contained in the letter of the committee of
the bondholders of the 15th December, 1849, to Mr.
Lord, that a commission of three persons in London,
one of whom to be appointed by the committee of the
Spanish American bondholders, should be appointed to
receive the funds destined from time to time to the pay-
ment of the dividends, and that the same should be de-
posited in the Bank of England until applied to that
purpose."
The failure of Messrs. Forman and Badow, drug and
produce brokers, is not expected to be heavy.
The accounts by the United States steamer are satis-
factory, and the remittance of 400,000 dollars is full as
much as was expected. This, however, will be partly
for the Continent.

The English Funds keep up at fully the previous rates.
Consols have been 98 to for Transfer, and 98i I for
the 11th of next month. Exchequer-bills are quiet at
525. to 545., and India Bonds 565. to 595. prem. Bank
