'on Tuesday. Against the culpable negligence
with which this mere party Bill is being
hurried into a law by the Legislature we
cannot protest too emphatically. Appreciating as we
do the extreme disadvantages which must result to the
community if the plan as at present arranged be car-
ried into actual operation, we are induced yet again
and again to insist upon the necessity of a wholesome
pause in these lamentable and extraordinary proceed-
ings. Our objections to the measure have not been
either vague or inferential. We have time after
time specified the precise clauses which we regard
as being calculated to prove dangerous to the popular
interests, and detrimental to the progress of
sanitary reform. We indicated, moreover, the exact
origin of these dangers and the manner in which
they must, to our thinking, be manifested. Our op-
position has not been of a petulant or perverse charac-
ter ; but throughout we have endeavoured to point
out, with all dispassionate earnestness, the reason of
our solicitude, and have essayed, in like manner, those
suggestions of emendation in Committee which seemed
to us desirable and, what is yet more, practic-
able. Hitherto our efforts have been altogether
ineffectual in eliciting anything like vigilant
scrutiny from the apparently apathetic indifference
of the Parliament. Since the first exposure of the
precise nature of the Metropolitan Interments Bill in
our columns; since we first attempted to reveal to the
apprehension of the multitude the servile manner in
which the Cabinet was therein truckling to the clergy
of the Establishment ; since we first demonstrated
the pernicious tendency of an enactment which
virtually ignored the existence of all civic preroga-
tives, and of all personal authority in the great body
of the Dissenters—we have observed with extreme
gratification that the argument was gradually
echoed by a very large number of our metropolitan
and provincial contemporaries. Every one who con-
sented to examine into the precise nature of the pro-
jected innovation was compelled to acquiesce in the
opinion that if allowed to pass into a veritable enactment
the Bill would entail a multiplicity of calamitous
consequences-upon the population. While, however,
this coincidence of opinion has been readily mani-
fested without the walls of the Imperial Parliament,
but few have betrayed their recognition of the evils
likely to accrue to the people from a scheme so ex-
clusively favourable to the ecclesiastical ; authorities.
Insomuch has this been the case in the House of
Commons, that after one gallant adventure in the
way of opposition, all thoughts of attempting
any systematic amendment in Committee were aban-
doned. Even Mr. DLTNCOMBE, the energetic advo-
cate of popular rights, was forced to yield to the pre-
dominant spirit of indifference, perceiving, as he did
at once, that the further prosecution of his intended an •
tagonism to the Administration would only tend to the
useless squandering of public time—without pro-
ducing one beneficial change in the scheme of
organization. Hence it has come to pass
that the most earnest supporters of the
genuine cause of sanitary amelioration have
since then contented themselves almost exclusively
with repeated protests against the Bill now under
examination in Committee; clause after clause having
been agreed to with the most slovenly celerity. A
reference to the progress of the measure last evening
in the House of Commons will be sufficient to illus-
trate the hopelessness of all judicious emendation
from the Lower House of the Legislature. The
majority of that House betrays, indeed, such a lament-
able subserviency to the wishes of the Government,
in regard to this particular undertaking, that the
clerical party may well congratulate themselves upon
the speedy realisation of all their dreams of compen-
sation. One thing, and one thing alone, can now re-
tard the progress of this baneful enactment, and that
one thing is—agitation. Let the various con-
stituencies throughout the country agitate at
once a stern and resolute opposition to the
Bill in question. Let them petition, petition,
petition ! Let them communicate, moreover, to their
respective representatives the fervour of their wishes
for a delay in the plans of the Government. It
would be worse than ridiculous for the provincial
possessors of the franchise to argue that they have no
interest in the measure, seeing that it applies
exclusively to the system of interment regard-
ing the metropolis. That system they must
see, as the saying is, " with half an eye,''
however it may be sketched out by the
Cabinet and accepted by the Legislature, will form
the model system for the United Kingdom. What-
ever course shall be adopted with reference to the
capital will be ultimately carried out in the provinces.
It is consequently with sufficient reason that we de-
clare the matter to be of equal interest to the one as
to the other—to the inhabitants of York and Birming-
ham as to the citizens of London and Westminster
Again we say to them, therefore, bestir yourselves
betimes ; agitate the question at issue from parish to
parish ; transmit your resolutions severally to your
respective representatives ; and, above all—Petition !

It has long been obvious to legal reformers that
no great improvement in Chancery procedure
could be hoped for until the very head
of the Court itself was placed on a better
foundation, until the chief judge in equity was en-
abled to devote his entire time to his judicial duties
and the practical details of the court over which he
was appointed to preside. The Master's offices could
not be thoroughly purified, the expenses therein
diminished, and the progress of business accelerated
until the Lord Chancellor could apply his mind

At length we may look forward confidently to the
speedy attainment of a measure of Chancery reform
adequate to the wants and wishes of the country. We
gladly accord to the Noble Lord at the head of the
Government and his colleagues in the Cabinet the
praise to which they are justly entitled, for the
straightforward and honourable course they have pur-
sued with respect to one of the most important ques-
tions connected with the administration of justice in
this country. Lord COTTENHAM, full of years and
full of honour, has retired to the otium cum dignitate
which he has so fairly earned, and which we trust
he may long live to enjoy, with health and strength
completely restored by the cessation of the labours
which he has sustained for so many years. He
carries with him to his retirement a high
mark of the approbation of his SOVEREIGN, who
has been graciously pleased to confer upon him and
the heirs male of his body the rank and dignity of a
Viscount and Earl of the United Kingdom ;
and be
has also gained the thanks and gratitude of the com-
munity for the able and efficient discharge of arduous
and important duties, so far as it was within human
power to do so. We have, however, already pointed
out that no single individual could perform all the
multifarious avocations attached to the office. Ar-
rears would necessarily accumulate, much-required
ameliorations be slurred over and neglected ; but
those were the faults of the system, not of the man,
and the only wonder was that he should have been
enabled to accomplish so much, not that something
should have remained undone.

LONDON, SATURDAY, JUNE 8, 1850.

the object, which last week he described as being one
" very desirable to obtain." The marked manger in
which he alluded to the three distinct departments of
the office—" the duties of the Court of Chancery,"
" the appellate jurisdiction of the House cf Lords," and
" the administration of the functions which appertain
to the Lord Chancellor as a member of the Govern•
ment"—sufficiently indicates that the desire of the
Cabinet is to divide the duties between three persons,
and (as we ourselves suggested in The Sun, of the
27th ultimo) "to assimilate the office of Lord Chan-
cellor, so far as the judicial duties are concerned, to
the Mastership of the Rolls, the Tice Chancellorships,
and other judgeships, and that the occupant should
be irremovable, and hold bis situation dum se liene
gesserit;" that there should also be "a permanent
President of the appellate tribunal of the House of
Lords, who might also act as Speaker of the House
of Lords ;" and,: finally, that there should be " a
Minister of Justice with a seat in the Cabinet, who
would discharge all the political duties which now
devolve on the Lord Chancellor."

The advantages of such a division of labour
are so obvious, that there can be but little
doubt that it will be adopted, particularly
after the pointed allusion made by Lord JOHN Rus-
SELL to the three branches of the office. The chief
difficulty will be the fixing the emoluments of the
different offices and the judicious allocation of the
enormous patronage, ecclesiastical as well as legal,
now vested in the Lord Chancellor for the time being.
The salaries may easily be decided. The sala-
ries of the Chief Justices of the common law
courts will point out what should be given to the
Chief Judge in equity. The judicial salary of the
Lord Chancellor was the same as that of the Lord
Chief Justice before the recent Bill. As 7,0001. per
annum has been considered sufficient for the latter, it
may be so
.for the equity judge when his labours
will be so materially lessened. The 4,0001. a year
paid to the Speaker of the House of Lords may be
continued to the new Speaker and Chairman of Ap-
peals, and the Minister of Justice may receive the
same as the Premier or a Secretary of State.
If these suggestions were carried into execution,
the business would be efficiently performed, and the
additional expense would be but 2,0001. per annum,
which sum, insignificant as it may be considered, in
comparison to the vast benefits that would accrue
from the change, might be saved by joining the almost
sinecure duties of Lord Privy Seal to the Minister of
Justice, or Speaker of the House of Peers.

. Idle would it be, at this day, to attempt to demon-
strate the obvious advantages of life assurance. Con-
stantly are they brought before the eyes of every
reflecting man in the ordinary and common dispensa-
tions of life, where, on the one hand, surviving
families are spared the evils of penury, so often inci-
dent to bereavement; and, on the other, where the
grief with which we bewail the dead is aggravated
by the adversity that accompanies the loss. The
vicissitudes and reverses of fortune, the proverbial
uncertainty of human life, and the miseries of poverty
and indigence, long ago suggested to the thoughtful
mind of man expedients by which he might mitigate
and soften, though it was beyond his power to avert,
the terrible evils and misfortunes with which an in-
scrutable PROVIDENCE hedges round his existence in
this mortal life. In the principle of life assurance,
accordingly, is one of those expedients found ; and we
can trace its beneficial operation running through the
complicated net-work of civilized society. But un-
fortunately its advantages, though perceptible to the
commonest mind, have never yet been generally em-
braced ; and, strange to say, it is almost exclusively
confined to this country. It is only sagacious, pru-
dent, and self-denying men who, with a fore-
cast far beyond their fellows, have availed
themselves of its benefits. Numerous as are the
institutions which have sprung up in this me-
tropolis to carry this principle into effect, there is
room and verge enough for them all ; and to-day
our columns indicate the progress of an aspirant
for public favour. The TIMES LIFE ASSURANCE
AND GUARANTEE COMPANY was set on foot, SOME
eighteen months ago, under the most favourable
auspices, as it respects a judicious and influential
directory, and already, as will be seen from the
report in another part of our journal, its success has
been remarkable, whilst its operations have been un-
attended with a single loss, notwithstanding the
terrible epidemic, so disastrous to institutions of this
kind, which afflicted this country for a period of three
months. The objects which this company have in
view are twofold: first, life-assurance, annuities,
and family endowments of all descriptions, adapted
to meet the views and means of the provident of every
class ; second, the providing guarantees for fidelity
of trust, so connected with the foregoing objects as
mainly to ensure all the advantages of a mutual sys-
tem, the payers of the guarantee premium partici-
pating in the profits of the guarantee fund. The
society does not confine its operations to this country,
but is occupied also in bringing its advantages before
the public in some parts of the continent, where life
assurance is but little known or appreciated. We
give this promising society a welcome, and cordially
recommend the report of its first annual meeting to
the perusal of our readers.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Bill renewing for another year the law against
clubs was passed in the Assembly on Thursday by a
majority of 278, the numbers being 469 to 191. In
the course of the discussion M. ESQUIROS, the newly-
elected representative of the Soane et Loire, made a
most eloquent speech against the law.
The Committee of the Initiative have determined
to take into consideration the proposition of General
GRAMBIONT, for moving the seat of Government from
Paris to Versailles by a majority of one; the numbers
were 12 to 11.

The proposition to increase the salary of the
PRESIDENT has excited the most profound sensation,
and notwithstanding the appeal ad misericordiam of
M. ACHILLE FOULD, many of the Legitimatists have,
it is said, determined to join the Republicans in their op-
position to the proposal. The Burgraves having wrung
from the PRESIDENT a reluctant consent to the Elec-
toral Bill, do not deem it advisable to keep up even
the semblance of friendship for him. They support
the proposition, but after such a fAshion that their sup-
port is more damaging than even their opposition
could have been. As a sample of Burgrave tactics,
we cite the following mot of M. DUPIN You
complain that we have suppressed 3,000,000
Gallic electors, and we propose to substitute for
them 3,000,000 Francs, and you cry out—Really you
are most unreasonable."
The usual levee was not held on Thursday, at the
Elysee, and it is said, that unless the sum demanded
by the PRESIDENT is voted by the Assembly, the levees
will be discontinued, as he cannot support the expense
of holding them. He has, it is said, been running in
debt at the rate of 1,0001. a month ever since his
election to the Presidency. He is now, it is ru-
moured, about to retire to St. Cloud, to retrench.
The Liberti says— -

"It has been remarked that of all the Ministers who
in general hold their levees on Tuesday evening, M. de
Lahitte was the only one whose salons were closed on
that evening, and who had gone into the country. This
fact, and the reports in circulation, lead us to fear that
that honourable warrior has arrived at the termination
of his Ministerial career."

The Courrier Francais pretends that the concen-
tration of maritime forces in the Mediterranean is
for the protection of Naples against British claims,
adding that Russia is determined to support the KING.

a
to at once introduce and carry a measure dissolving
the National Guards throughout the dominions of
the Republic, as it is considered that they would be
inclined to oppose the ulterior designs of the Russian
Alliance upon France. It is said that in considera-
tion of the armed assistance to be afforded by the
Monarchs of the Russian alliance to the French
Royalists for the restoration of HENRI V., the
Royalists engage, in the event of success, to cede
Alsace and Lorraine to the Alliance, to be disposed
of as to them shall seem fit. The French correspondence
of the Gazette des Pastes at Frankfort develops the
whole plot.
The Prefect of the Haute Vienne has published
a decree prohibiting the reading aloud of newspapers
in manufactories throughout the whole department.
Some arrests for political causes have been made at
Lyons. 150 workmen joined in a strike at Beauvais.
The ringleaders were arrested, and tranquillity re-
stored.
The Assembly was yesterday engaged in discussing
the motion for the third reading of the Transporta-
tion Bill, which had not concluded when the post left.

The sale 3 of Cotton at, Liverpool yesterday were es-
timated at from 6,000 to 6,000 bale:. The market was
tame and more sellers than buyers at previous rates.—
Riilway Shares slightly declined, but a fair amount of
business was done,

The weekly statement of the Bank of England is to
the Ist instant ; and ♦aries from the previous return in
so far as that it shows an increase of circulation. The
amount of the precious metals was again larger. The
Public Deposits were further increased, and will
pursue the ascensional movement until the close of the
financial quarter, and the private balances R ere slightly
trenched upon, possibly for employment in trade or in-
vestment in securities, or for remittance abroad on
account of the Russian loan. The advances upon other
securities do not rise much, but it is something gained,
perhaps, with such a plethora of money, if they do not
recede. Compared with the previous return, the results
are as follows:—

The adulteration of coffee is carried now to such an
extent, and the consumption, as shown by the official
returns, has so materially fallen off, that it is important
to place facts before consumers for their guidance. Mr.
P. L. Simmonds, who has bad practical experience
in Jamaica, writes of " Coffee as it is, and as it
ought to be," and enters into the whole question
of adulteration, chemical teats for detecting the same,
production and consumption, and many of the facts are
extremely useful. The detection of chicory Mixture,
for example, is much more simple than might be sup-
posed. A small quantity of the coffee has simply to be
put on the top of a glass full of cold water, and shaken
up. If pure, the coffee will swim and give little or no
colour to the liquid, but if chicory be present it sinks'to
the bottom and communicates a pretty deep red tinge to
the water. Mr. Simmonds then goes on to say: "It is
quite essential that buyers should be intiroatt:;• ac-
quainted with the appearance of the various berries,
because, although a grocer cannot adulterate the article
in its new gat-,
,a.sa deceive and pass off upon his
uninitiated customers the worst for the most approved
kinds; and this I know to be the case in many instances.
They who have once seen the two berries or beans,
Mocha and. Plantation, can be never again deceived.
As I cannot show I will describe them. I speak of coffee
in the raw state, for on every account I would
strenuously advise that my readers should purchase it
unroasted. Mocha (or, as it is often called, Turkey)
is the smallest of all the usual sorts, it is round,
plump, rough, equal-sized, the colour inclining to
buff, with a tinge of pale brown, or of
a light olive hue; the Jamaica, Plantation*, Ber-
bice (for they much resemble one another)
are fine, large, flat, handsome-looking berries,
with a hue of grey-green, very different from those of
Mocha or even Ceylon, which last, from similarity of
colour, might deceive those who are not aware of this
distinctive difference, namely, that the Ceylon berries
are of irregular sizes, ill-shaped, and of a spotted dirty
cream colour. The grey-green shade of the western
Coffees is entirely deficient in 'those of Asia. In its raw
state, this article of consumption, .unlike other grains,
such as rice, wheat, &c., appears to be entirely exempt
from the destructive ravages of insects; it will keep good
nay, perhaps, improve, for an indefinite length of time;
and may, consequently, be purchased at any period and
in any quantity, when an opportunity offers for obtaining
it at wholesale price. Roasted Coffee, on the contrary,
deteriorates rapidly, and if exposed, as we see it in
shops, it should be kept closely stopped in canisters, or
wide-mouthed glass bottles. The sooner Coffee is used
after it is roasted,, the finer will be the flavour; hence I
prefer to roast only the quantity intended for the con-
sumption of one week."
Tho letters by the steamer Pacific from the United
States were delivered this morning, and the following are
one or two extracts:—

" There has been a fair demand for sterling bills, for
remittance by the American mail steam-ship Pacific, and
rates have been well maintained. The supply of second
and third-rate bills is not so large as usual, and the
sales are, therefore, confined more to the best drawers
We have no changes to report in domestic exchanges,
quotations for specie, or for uncurrent money. The
amount of uncurrent money offering for redemption is
limited for the season, and there is the same scarcity of
State money that we have noticed for some time past??
Extraordinary efforts continue to be made in support
of the cotton market, and the following is from Mr. I'. J.
Stewart, of New York:—

" Yesterday (Friday) the market opened stiff, and
3,500 bales were taken at the full quotations annexed.
This is in the face of an advance in freights, which are now
held stiff at 3.16 d., although most of the late sales were
negotiated for at slightly easier rates. This sudden de-
sire to secure the staple at the present rates for shippers
is mainly owing to the growing conviction that there
will be a pinching time fur it, long before any small aid
can be derived from a crop, which is only just planted, as
whole, and which is the most unpromising we have
ever had; and when its true position is placed before
the spinners in a way they cannot get away from it, we
anticipate here to learn of an excitement at Liverpool
such as has not been witnessed for many years.
" In my circular per Niagara, under date of April 2d,
I called your attention to the fact that I thought it pro-
bable that the mild winter we had enjoyed would have
the tendency to hasten the melting of the snows on the
Upper Mississippi and Missouri, and that th• rise which
usually comes out of these rivers in the latter part of
May, would be down earlier, and before the usual
freshets from the lower tributaries of the father of
waters,' such as the Ohio, Red River, Arkansas, Ten-
nessee, &c., could pass off into the Gulf. This has
happened. I attach great importance to it, from the
experience of former seasons evidencing the fact that a
large crop is impossible, where the March planting is
impaired. The only section in which the seed planted
during that month appeared to vegetate was in the
Great South-Western Valley; elsewhere, they have re-
planted very generally at the close of April, and even
in May. The following extract shows the position of
things in that quarter:—
" Reports from the Missouri, state that the whole of
that river is up as far as Independence Landing. Op-
posite Helena, Arkansas, the water has completely co-
vered the prairies. The Arkansas is falling, but we un-
derstand that Red River is rising fast, and that it had
already submerged many of the plantations near the
mouth. At Lake Providence, the river was one inch
higher then ever known. At Memphis, the water was
even with the highest flood mark. From Natchez to
mieiken's Bend, it is estimated that at least 150,000
acres of land, which had been planted in cotton, are now
under water, and hundreds of the finest plantations en-
tirely ruined. The river now extends from Natchez to
the hills of Ouachita, a distance of over forty miles, and
we learn from an eye-witness, that everything has been
swept away. Every knoll and hill top is filled with
cattle, horses, and other domestic animals, and even
bears, panthers, and deers, are herding with them, for-
getting, in the presence of a common danger, their na-
tural ferocity or timidity. At Vicksburg, the river is 50
miles broad.' "
The accounts from Lancashire and Yorkshire report
a steady but not very extensive business doing in textile
goods.

The exports of bullion from London during the week,
to last Thursday, were 1,074 ounces in gold to France,
and 832,700 ounces in silver, all of which except 20,000
ounces, went to St. Petersburgh.

HITCHINS V. THE GREAT SOUTHERN AND GREAT WESTERN
RAILWAY CoNPANY.
Mr. UNTHANK moved for a rule to show cause whir
judgment should not be issued by execution agate"
George Emery, a shareholder of the above railway COin"
pany, according to the 8h and 9th Victoria, chap. lei,
sec. 36. It appeared that a final judgment had been
obtained in this court against the defendants for the sum
of 1,3621., in which they were indebted to the plaintiff, dod,
two writs of fi. fa., issued in the counties of Surrey and
Middlesex, to both of which a return of nulls bona Was
made by the sheriffs. An order was then obtained frota
Mr. Justice Coleridge, calling upon the solicitor of tbe
company to produce the register of shareholders ; and
several applications were made by the plaintiff's attor-
ney to be allowed to inspect the register of shareholders,
all of which were refused, so that they had
totally unable to ascertain whether the register
had been sealed or not. The plaintiff, however,,
produced an affidavit to the effect that the name el
George Emery appeared on the original subscription,
but deposited at the house of Commons. By the Bth
and 9th Victoria, cap. 16, it was provided that wheii;an
;
execution failed against a railway company, execution
might be taken out against any shareholder to t
amount of his unpaid shares; and it appeared tb,_ii!
George Emery had been an original subscriber to turf
amount of 10,0001., on which he had paid a deposit °
5001, and application was now made for an execution
y
against Mr. Emery, as a shareholder of the compsn/, for
the whole amount of the debt.
The COURT was of opinion that the evidence of 311'.
Emery's name being on the sealed register of the shelf.;
holders of the company was not sufficiently clear, snd
was arranged that the case should be postponed until
Monday to amend the affidavits in their report.

PROSPECTS OF THE GROUSE SEASON.'--The un-
commonly forward state of the birds by the 12th of August
last year prevented the usual amount of destruction, and
hence there was a much better stock preserved for breeding
this season. The winter, although severe, was not ob-
served to have been injurious to the birds, but at pairing
time the hens were found not to be in good condition—the
effects of which may appear on the new broods. On early
grounds, such as the Logiealmond muirs, cheepers were first
observed about the middle of May, and at Dalwhinnie
about the 25th. Farther north, hatching will likely be a
few days later. The rains which fell in the latter half of the
month were most opportune for the first broods, but if the
present extreme heal and drought continue much longer,
it must injuriously affect the
young grouse at their most
critical stage. By another fortnight we will likely be able
to report more decidedly as to the prospects of the ensuing
season.
