interests of the legal profession:in the first place—
hitherto
in this matter seemingly altogether over-
looked. The fourteen Courts of Law heretofore
scattered all over this huge capital being at length
brought together under one noble roof-tree,7,from
points as remote as Basinghall-street and Chan-
cery-lane, the Guildhall, Doctors' Commons, and
Westminster—how much time now wasted in
flitting to and fro between those widely separated
regions will not thenceforth be permanently eco-
nomised ! The convenience of the lawyers and
of the suitors will at last by this means appear then,
however, only for the first time to have been
thought of. As to the dignity of the Judges, that
has yet by such means assuredly to be taken in
any way into consideration. For hardly any-
where among all the civilised races of Europe
are the supreme courts of law less worthy of the
high purpose for which they are designed than in
the capital of the British Empire. The Chancellor's
Court in Lincoln's Inn, for example—the Vice-
Chancellors' Courts hard by—the Rolls Court on
the opposite of Chancery-lane—the Queen's Bench,
the Common Pleas, and the Exchequer, clambered
into through those little side doors leading out of
the old hall at Westminster ! These are, each and
all of them, the veriest makeshifts. They are old,
inadequate edifices, patched and cobbled up to
serve their purpose almost anyhow, as if they had
been designed for some purely temporary emer-
gency. We have had enough of this wretched
cheesepairing system of economy, so called—
economy which is in reality no economy at all, but
the sheerest, the most egregious and fatuous extra-
vagance. The sister capital of Dublin, with her
comparatively noble four courts, sets us an example
worthy of imitation and emulation. The time isgone,
however, we rejoice to think and believe, when
there can be supposed to remain any necessity to
demonstrate a need that is now invariably recog-
nised. The appointment of a commission to select
a site tor the New Courts of Law indicated of
itself the fact that the simple necessity for the
change had been acknowledged as proven. That
Commission has sat, as we have seen, and has de-
cided—and the decision is in every way as com-
mendable, as it appears to have been unanimous, on
the part of the CommiEsioners. It is now per-
fectly well understood that what is required is a
concentration upon a given point of all the four-
teen Temples of Themis, hitherto scattered far and
wide about London and Westminster. The ap-
propriate spot has in effect been clearly and
definitively defined. It is even tolerably
clear already which among the different
Courts there to be raised as integral portions of
that Grand Central Palace of Justice should have
precedence in the order of building by rEason of
the superior urgency of the necessity recognised for
its completion ! A Registry, that is to say, for the
Court of Probate and Divorce, at present most
urgently demanding wider accommodation.
Granted that the cost of erecting a Palace of
Justice worthy of the metropolis of the British
Empire will be by necessity something immense—
even economists need not on that account shrink
from the proposition as in any way alarming from
its extravagance. Let it be remembered that no
larger sum than £16,000 at the utmost, it has been
calculated, would in all probability be required to
complete the sum total estimated upon the widest
computation—the bulk of the aggregate amount
being intended to be withdrawn, as the public
must be long since very well aware, from the
Unclaimed Suitors' Fund, a very ALADDIN'S Lamp
for the conjuring up of this long wished for Palace
of Justice. Would that, like ALADDIN'S, it could
be built in a single night !

-WHAT'S IN A NAME ?--The Lords have sent a
bill to the house of Commons, intituled :—" An Act for
naturalising Charles Maria Joseph Livy Anthony James
Joachim Levingstone Bandini Giustiniani—Caroline Maria
Elena Gioacchina Bandini Giustiniani—and Elena Maria
Concetta Isabella Gioacchina Giuseppa Band ini Giustiniani,
the infant children of Sigismund Nicholas Vonantius Gaie-
tano Francis Bandini Giustiniani, esquire—commonly called
Viscount Kynnaird, Marquess Bandini in the Roman
States, the only son and heir apparent of Maria Cecilia
Agatha Anna Josepha Laurentia Donata Melchiora Bal-
thassara Gaspara Countess of Newburgh." We wonder
by which one or all of these he hopes to be honoured here-
after ?

ROYAL BANK OF LIVERPOOL—With regard to
the affairs of the Royal Bank of Liverpool it appears that
a circular was addressed yesterday afternoon by the direc-
tors to the depositors to the effect that the accounts of Mr.
Chaffers had been found perfectly correct, and that the
establishment is in a satisfactory condition. Irritation from
physical infirmity, the recent death of a brother under pain-
ful circumstances, and the fast of some distrust of his
management having been displayed at the annual meeting,
which took place on Thursday last, seem to have been the
proximate eau, es of Mr. Chaffers's derangement. After the
first announcement yesterday there was a slight run on the
bank, a report being in circulation that, among other losses
recently sustained, was ono of £70,000 from a local firm in
the leather trade. Ultimately it was stated that instead of
£70,000, the utmost amount would be £lO,OOO or £12,000.
At the same time it transpired that the available assets of
the bank in cash and good bills are unquestionably large,
and the tendency to distrust steadily subsided. It may be
hoped that after there shall have been time for a more for-
mal and open investigation, and for the selection of a new
manager of ability and repute, the bank will be found in a
position to command permanent confidence.
ETON AND WESTMINSTER BOAT RACE.—The fol-
lowing are the crews in training for this interesting event
on Friday next : —Eton : 1. H. Garnett; 2. Lord Baring-
dm ;3. R. King-lake ;4.F. H. Wynne ;5.R.E. L.
Burton;( 6. W. B. Rhodes; 7. C. B. Lewis; R. W. B. Hum.
frey, stroke; T. Ilopwood, coxswain. Westminster :1. W.
Wynne ; 2. A. R. Tomlinson ; 3. A. C. Censlow ; 4. J. C.
Hawkshaw; 5. E. M. Tomlinson ; 6. B. Thomas ; 7. W. S.
Wright ;A. Forster, stroke; J. G. Yates, coxswain. The
crews aro both composed of very fine young men, but the
Etonians have the ad vantage in weight. The Westminsters,
who have been some time training, and have reached great
perfection, went over the course on Thursday evening at
an improved pace against a mixed crew of Oxford and Cam-
bridge men, who could not get away from them, but shut
up at the London Rowing Club boat-house, leaving the
Westminsters to pursue their solitary course after a sharp
spurt from Putney-bridge. The Messrs. Searle have char-
tered Citizen D and the Childe Harold and G. Campbell
Citizen Bto accompany the race. The Eton crew is ex-
pected in London at the beginning of next week, and will
remain at Putney till the race, Setting is slightly iu favour
of the Westminsters.
