BANK RETURNS.

(From the Times.)
We yesterday had occasion to compliment the House
of Commons on the plain style of speaking now adopted
on the subject of national defences. Not to be outdone,
our hereditary legislators spoke their minds quite as
freely last night on the system of passports. Both the
present and the late Foreign Secretary, as well as Lord
Grey, treated the affair much as we should the require-
ments of some barbaric tribe, which it might be difficult
to resist, though they were never so ridiculous and un-

VICE-CHANCELLORS' COURTS.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir T. Kindersley.)
As the Lord Chancellor gave his usual breakfast, which
in this case was fully attended, the Court did not sit till
nearly two o'clock, when there being no business of public
interest to be disposed of the Court shortly after rose.
(Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. Stuart.)
The Vice-Chancellor took his seat on the bench shortly
after half-past 1 o'clock, but no case of any interest came
before the :ourt.
BROOK v. mooR.—MARRIAGE WITH A DECEASED WIFE'S SISTER.
The Vice-Chancellor stated that he should give judgment
in the abote case on Saturday, the 17th inst. It will be
recollected that the question in it is whether the marriage
at Altona, in the duchy of Schleswig-Holstein, whore by
the lex loci such marriages are legal, of a British subjest
domiciled in England with the sister of his deceased wife
is valid according to the laws of this country.

necebsary. In fact, in this matter of passports we have
much the same difficulty with the French and the Celes-

tial Empires. The difference is only one of degree.
China excludes us altogether, as far as it can ; and when
we push our way in by blows or by diplomacy, we have
to encounter the more subtle opposition of ten thousand
forms and ceramonie., which we can never master. We

make the attempt in the most perfect good faith, sad
with childlike simplicity, but only degrade ourselves in
the eyes of the silken savages as well as our ewn. The
whole thing is contrary to our geninß, and we end with
the conviction that we had better have let it alone.

QUEEN'S BENCH.

Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice Wightman and Mr.

Justice Crorspton.)
This beiin the first day of Easter Term, their lordships,
after breakfasting as usual with the Lord Chancellor, took
their seats on the bench at about 2 o'clock.
SHORT V. THE NORTIT-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY.

That is the precise danger of all attempts to work
the passport ryeteen so as to suit the convenience of
the British traveller without hurting the prejudices or
the pocket of the French official. It is tiSHILI.ed across
the Channel that the Englishman must carry a pass-
port, which he is bound to produce on any occasion,
and which must tell the tale of his travels. Our public
men weary and degrade themselves with the attempt to
make this no inconvenience. The question is how to
hit both these objects. So far there is little prospect of
our being able to do so. The Englishman dislikes a
" ticket-of-leave" altogether. He dislikes it as be would
dislike having to crawl, or lick the dust, or make a cer-
tain number of obeisances, or observe a load of etiquette,
in Siam, or China, or Madagascar. Nothing will re-
concile him to it, for it admits of no compromise. Tell
him that you have made it quite easy, that he has only
just to touch the ground once with his knee, only just
to take up a little dust and put his hand to his mouth,
only just to bob once at the door and once before the
footstool of his barbaric Majesty, or that it will be
enough if his Moonshee does all this for him, or that he
has only to ask to be excused and make a trifling pay-
ment, it matters not, he doesn't like the thing in any
shape whatever. He likes it still less when he is told
that the very people before whom he is required to do
these humiliations think them utterly absurd, and
wonder at his compliance. It does not improve matters
to be told that the personage who won't admit you with-
out a label round your neck thinks it an idle ceremony,
and only retains it because his servants make it a pre-
tence for some trifling extortion.
Let us see what relief is now promised the British
traveller. If you reside in London or the interior you
have now a greater variety of means of identification at
your command. If you have no account at a bank, and
are not of the same politics as the mayor, and have no
acquaintance with the county magistrates, you may
resort to a clerical friend. Should you be a Dissenter,
it is enough to have the word of your minister that you
are what you pretend to be. As it is possible you may
be a Churchman, and still on cool terms with your
clergyman, you may go to your solicitor, whom you are
supposed to be always only too happy to consult. If
you are afraid of having to pay 6s. Bd., you may go to
your physician or your surgeon. Even these, however,
may expect fees. What, then, remains l A notary.
Nut one Englishman in a hundred knows what a
notary is. But, granting that among the mayor, the
town and county magistrates, the physicians, surgeons,
solicitors, clergy, Dissenting preachers, and notaries
of your neighbourhood, you may find some one to
vouch for you, you have still the further process of
applying at the Foreign-office, obtaining the rises of
the Foreign Consuls, and having always to carry
the document with you, and produce it when re-
quired. But the Foreiga-office tells us it is going to
do more. We are now to have our passport for 2s.
instead of having to pay 6s. for it ; and, should
we happen to be en the coast and in a hurry to
cross over, we may get a Foreign office passport at once
by applying to an agent put there for the purpose. On
the other hand, the French Government is now gra-
ciously pleased to peemit British subjects living in
France to travel Irons one town to another with a
French passport, 'lt" in the ordinary case of British
travellers they will" content with the vise ( f the local
Consul on the Foreign-office passport, instead of requir-
ing that of the Consul-General. All this proves the so•
licitude of the English and French officials to put on the
handcuff without hurting the wrist, and at the prime
cost of the instrument ; out it does net alter the main
fact that you must have a passport.
Indeed, we are not sure that the increased facility of
obtaining the passport, anywhere, any how, with any
body's voucher, will not give a pretence for a closer
ecrutiny of the document abroad. It will be known, of
course, that, notwithstanding the signature of the Fo-
reign Secretary, his armorial bearin,;s, and his high-
souuding titles, the document only means that some-
body or other, a doctor, solicitor, or Methodist preacher,
vouches that a veritable John Jones did not sign the
paper bearing the signature "John Jones." The
bearer may simply call himself " John Jones ;"
or, being really John Jones, may be a very dan-
gerous character, either because he is in the habit
of leaving his bills unpaid, or because be
has a particular animosity to emperors, Sup-
posing it to turn out in two or three instances that the
traveller, warranted by the licensed pastor of some
eccentric denomination in the North of England, is not
much the better for it, we can easily imagine the French
police turning round on our own Foreign office, and
saying, "See what sort of men you send amongst us !
What is the value of your voucher l Were we not in
the right to take care of ourselves I" Their arguments,
of course, go to the absurdity of the system, but that is
just what the French do not choose to observe. In sober
truth, all the names and rises of a passport, though it has
travelled half round Europe, only endorse the first
voucher; and in the instance we have supposed, the
French, Belgian, Austrian, Prussian and Russian rises,
as well as the names of our Foreign Secretary and of the
French Consul-General in London, only testify to the
original allegation of the Rev. Simon Snuffle, minister
of Ebenezer Chapel, at some place with an unpronounce-
able name, that the document was originally given to a
man bearing the name subscribed to it. The whole pyra-
mid of authorities rests on this point, which is really
worth nothing ; and the earth on an elephant, the ele-
phant on a tortoise, is not a v ga•er absurdity. Is it
possible this state of things can: last long l If, as our own
Foreign Secretary tells us, the present system is a delu-
sion, we don't see how the improved one can be otherwise.
The passport is worth nothing, and its greater cheapness
and facility of acquisit.iOn will not make it worth more.
The olj. ct, of course,.`is well intended, and we have to
render our honest thanks fur the trouble which Lord
Malmesbury has taken to get over the preliminary diffi-
culties of a passport. Nothing that he can do, however,
--nothing even that he is able to promise on the part
of the French Government—can mitigate the inconve
nieece of the passport after the moment of its delivery
from the Foreign-office on the payment of 2s. It must
still be visai in London, ati 1 at Boulogne, still at Parr,
still almost everywhere abroad, still taken from you,
still kept you know not where, still liable to be lost,
still filling your pocket, still a pretence for i xtracting
more francs, thalera, carlines, and paulines, still a badge
of degredation, and still, after all, of no use whatever.

Mr, H. Hill, Q.C., said this was an action in which the
plaintiff sough-, to recover damages from the North-Eastern
Railway Company for an injury sustained by him while
travelling in ore of the company's carriages. At the trial,
which took place at York, befora Mr. Baron Martin. it
appeared that the train had run off the line at the Bel-
mont station, and thus the plaintiff sustained the injury
complained of. The plaintiff himself was examine,, and
he also called the other witnesses in support of his case, and
certain printed regulations as to the rate of speed at which
the train ough: to travel were put in. At the close of the
plaintiff's evidence the learned judge expressed his opinion
that, but for the printed regulations which had been put
in there would have been no evidence of negligence, but his
lordship thought that by them the burden of proof was
changed, end that it was incumbent on the company to
prove that the rate of speed had not been exceeded. The
defendants then called several witnesses who proved that
tke steam had been shat off, and that the train bad not
exceeded the proper rate of speed. The jury, however,
found a verdict for the plaintiff, with 800 t. damages. The
learned counsel contended the verdict was against the
weight of the evidence. •
The Court granted a rule nisi.
Several motions for new trials were made, after which
Court took the enlarged rules.
