of commerce, wan ling only the means of easy
transport of exports and imports. A very large
proportion of the traffic of the Danube would also
avoid the long and perilous voyage through its
shallow mouths, and through the Black Sea and the
Sea of Marmora. The facilities offered by the line
for the Danubian and Bulgarian corn trade, at all
seasons, would be very great. The line would, of
course, in due time have branches to the capital
and to other towns ; it would be, indeed, the
Great Northern Trunk line for Turkey.
It will be an interesting fact, if while Russia
has been round "like a big beggarman " to all the
capitals of Europe, and has deservedly failed, be-
cause her only object was a military one ; Turkey,
her despised neighbour, should get the capital to
execute a first-rate military line, because com-
merce, not ambition, is the mainspring of the en-
terprise. We cordially wish it success. Long,
long may it be ere _Russia get a railroad to Bessa-
rabia; but when she has done so, we trust it will
be to find all Europe interested more than ever in
keeping her from the Danube ; to find the men of
commerce demanding that the most exclusive of
nations shall not be suffered to molest her free-
trade neighbour ; and also to find that Turkey
herself will be able, with railroad speed, to move
her troops to the Danube, and to renew the
riumphs of Kalafat, Oltenitza, and Silistria.

The Society for Promoting the Amendment of
he Law has rendered important services to the

nation on many occasions. There are few ques-
tions of legal reform that have not been greatly
elucidated by the indefatigable, although purely
gratuitous, labours of its members. Not only has
every serious abuse, and "their name is legion,"

been discussed, and clearly and distinctly ox

plained, so that he " who runs may road," but
adequate remedies have been suggested either for

the total removal or material diminution of the

glaring evils. In many instances Parliament has
adopted the propositions thus ventilated, and in
every case with unequivocal advantage to the
community. This extraordinary success has not

led to any diminution in its useful exertions. On
the contrary, it has been stimulated to fresh
efforts, and we may safely predict that so long • as
a single grievance can be discovered, so long wil

the Society be ready to investigate, report, and
discuss the subject, until the last remedial course
can be ascertained, and the Legislature guided on
