LONDON, MONDAY: JULY 15, 1850.

The Great Seal is no longer in commission. The
vacancies occasioned by the resignation of Lord COT‘
TENHAM have been filled up, and for this year at least
there is no prospect of the separation of the political
and judicial functions of the Lord High Chancellor of
England. We confess that this unexpected and un-
necessary delay in one of the most important legal
reforms that could be brought forward has surprised
and grieved us. It is true that the greater portion of
the session has elapsed, and that the middle
of July is rather late to bring forw►ard
any measure deserving of serious consideration, but
a considerable period has already elapsed since Lord
COTTENHAM retired from the active duties of his high
position, and a judicious arrangement might easily
have been matured in the interval. Indeed the Pre-
mier distinctly promised that a full explanation
would before this have been rendered of the Minis-
terial intentions respecting the highest judicial office
in the realm.

Although we fully recognizs the general objections
to keeping the Great Seal in commission, and taking
other judges from their ordinary duties, in order to
discharge the functions of a Lord Chancellor, we
must acknowledge our full participation in the regret
exprested by Lord BROUGHAM, on Friday, at the
termination of that commission. Every arrange-
ment consequent upon its formation had been entered
into. A distinguished Queen's Counsel had taken the
place of Baron ROLrF, who had been excused from going

on him d satisfactory

r, and surely
have been en-
Lord LANG'

DALE and Baron ROLFE, even though the continued
indisposition of Sir LANCELOT SLIADWELL should
deprive his coadjutors of his valuable assistance
for the remainder of the vacation. There
wee, therefore, no necessity whatever for a
decision so - hasty as that which astonished
the public lest week by the appointment of the
late Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, Sir
THOMAS WlLDE—perhaps we should now rather term
him Baron ELTHAM—to the Lord Chancellorship of
England, and the other changes consequent upon that
appointment.
We should not feel greatly disposed to quarrel with
the promotion of that eminent Judge, although he
had been a common-law practitioner during his
distinguished career at the bar, and had but
little, if any, experience of the practice of courts
of equity, and could nct, therefore, be well acquainted
with the nature of the reforms so urgently required
in that department, seeing that the arrangement is
of a mere temporary character, and that the learned
gentleman has accepted the office subject to any alte-
rations that may hereafter be decided on. But, un-
fortunately, the entire transaction looks badly. It
has all the appearance of a rank job—a matter for
which the Whig Administration are supposed to
entertain a decided penchant, and also because
the filling up of the various offices interposes new
difficulties in the way of the anticipated reforms the t
were so earnestly desired;as well by " the profession"
as by the public generally. It is impossible not to
perceive that the vacancy in the Chief Justiceship of
the Common Pleas constituted an important portion of
the arrangement, and formed no trivial part of the in-
ducement which led to the selection of Sir T. WILDE.
If the choice had fallen on Sir ROBERT MOUNSEY
ROLFE, a puisne barony only would have been
vacated, which Sir JOHN JERVIS might not have been
satisfied to accept. The Learned Gentlemen yearned
for the additional dignity and additional emolument
that could be conferred by a chiefdom in place of a
subordinate judicial situation in one of the superior
courts. None of the chief Judges had been equity
practitioners, but that little difficulty could be
got over, and the interests of the community
sacrificed in order to gratify the legitimate ambition
of so steadfast an adherent, that a gentleman who had
so long been fortunate enough to retain a seat in the
Commons House of Parliament might be Chief Jus-
tice rather than Baron Jsavis. An opinion might
undoubtedly be entertained that patronage of such a
character should be exercised rather for public
than private advantage, but " the Liberal Go-
vernment" were far above such vulgar prejudices,
and " nobly dared" for the elevation of their
devoted follower, to the great admiration of expectant
place-hunters, but the bitter disappointment of the
people. Whatever might have been the causes that
led thereto, Sir JOHN JERVIS is now Lord Chief
Justice of the Court of her Majesty the QUEEN, of
her Common Pleas, and the worthy and independent
electors of the ancient city of Chester will be bound
to provide themselves with a discreet burgess to act
as their representative.
Of other appointments consequent upon the change
we are happy to be enabled to speak in terms of un-
qualified approbation. Sir Joule ROMILLY has
well deserved the high distinction he has received.
That amiable and learned gentleman has shown
himself a worthy successor of his illustrious father,
whose name has been beloved and honoured by the
British nation. lie entered boldly on the path of
legal reform, and traversed it with no tardy or linger-
ing footsteps. The technical and formal impedi-
ments that discouraged men of inferior minds
were speedily surmounted, and, although young in
years, he has already attained a reputation second to
none of his distinguished predecessors ; his well-
merited elevation, as well as that of his talented and
liberal successor, Mr. A. COCKBURN, will be received
with cordial approbation throughout the country. We
rejoice, indeed, that the brilliant display which the
latter gentleman recently made on the question of our
foreign policy, as well as his undeviating and consis-
tent liberality on all occasions, since he obtained a
seat in the Legislature, has been so promptly re-
warded. He will make a fitting associate for Sir
Jones ROMILLY, an able coadjutor in devising and
bringing into operation the legal reforms .which are
still so urgently required by the country.

In another part of to-day's impression will be found
a communication from an eminent Irish divine, whose
name is never mentioned without reverence in his
own country. It is indeed refreshing to find a vene-
rable pastor possessed of that capacious intellect, en-
lightened philanthropy, and enlarged Christianity,
which are the acknowledged attributes of Dr.
TIGHE GREGORY, lifting his pious voice in behalf of
civil and religious liberty, and in marked condemna-
tion of that narrow and perverse spirit of bigotry
which would exclude a loyal and industrious portion
of our fellow-citizens from a free participation in poli-
tical privileges under the allegation, at once ludicrous
and disgusting, that their admission into the Legisla-
ture would unehristianize the British Constitution.

We are not surprised that the " National Club"—
whatever be the composition or the locality of that
Boeotian band—should take advantage of the tempo-
rary success which attended Lord ASHLEY'S most mis-
chievous motion as an incitement to hound on the mo-
dern Pharisees in their gloomy crusade against the
merciful influence of Christian charity. "My yoke is
easy, and my burden is light," is a text which the
fanatics of the present movement would gladly
expunge from the behests of the Divine Founder of
our faith—the pure incarnation of the Charity of
GOD. How often were the accents of reproof di-
rected by the Blessed Reformer of the ceremonial
code against the narrow-minded and formally over-
righteous, those "tigers of morality" who, prototypes
of our own Puritanical progenitors, would have
executed a merciless doom upon the " erring sister's
shame," upon which HE, the judge of all the earth,
shed the balm of pardon and peace, and who, emu-
lated by our Puritanical contemporaries, were out-
raged in their distorted notions of religion by the
works of beneficence and of benefit performed on the
sacred day by Him who declared that " the Sabbath
was made fir man, not man for the Sabbath !"
But if the spirit of mercy and brotherhood
which pervades the inspired pages of the New
Testament be distasteful to the rigidly righteous—
if they look upon the distinct and repeated precepts of
him "who spike as man never spike" but as the im-
politic effusions of an amiable weakness—how is it
that they, more manifestly inclined to draw monition
from the terrors of the Old Covensnt than from the
mercies of the New, are not led to regard with a more
generous feeling the once specially favoured " people
of Heaven ?"

We might, were this a fitting place, multiply texts
of a similar spirit to those which our reverend cor-
respondent has adduced from the prophets of old,
and
zealots
gloomy
who were the immediate organs of the Divine voice
to all times and all nations. But let the opponents of
that "service which is perfect freedom" reconcile

from rivetting their intolerant dogmas on the necks of

The Jewish Disabilities Bill has been specially re-
served by the Premier from the sacrifice which he
has found it expedient to make of several measures
towards the close of . the session. In a praiseworthy
spirit he has determined that the year shall not be
suffered to pass over without a struggle, and we
trust a successful one, to have this important act of
enfranchisement flatted by the upper branch of the
Legislature. The House of Lards must labour under
the influence of a spirit of most impolitic perversity if
they persist in offering an obstruction to a rational and
popular enactment, which must in any event at no dis-
tant day become part and parcel of the law of the land.
The day for aristocratic obstinacy has passed away,
and we should deeply regret to see the Hereditary
Chamber pursuing a course of infatuation calculated
to bring odium on its influence in the Councils of the
State, and to place it in such °dime contrast with the
Representative House as must ultimately tend to
sap the • foundation of -its legitimate weight, and
bring into question among the masses the utility or
expediency of its existence. Its members should re-

OF SPAIN.

OF SPAIN.

Parliament is one which mainly, we might almost say
exclusively, affects the constitution of the Howe of
Commons, and that to opp:;se the reiterated cxpres-
sion of the conviction of that body is in reality exer-
cising an impertinent interposition. It is the House
of Commons that would be affected by the proposed
measure, and if it be acceptable in that quarter it is
surely no proper, not to say prudent, proceeding, on
the part of the self-representatives on the scarlet
benches, to presume upon a few immaterial triumphs
which they have recently contrived to obtain over
her MAJESTY'S present advisers, and to signalise the
termination of the Parliamentary session of 1850 by
a narrow-sighted refusal to carry into operation an
extension of political justice, the necessary conse-
quence of the progress of social ideas, and in accord-
ance with the liberal spirit of the British Consti-
stitution and the brotherly influence of the Chris-
tian faith.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of Saturday
and yesterday.
The Ministers of the PRESIDENT are wonderful
men ; they have accomplished that which at first sight
appeared impossible, they have managed to unite,
the Debats and the Constitutionnel in a league with
the Credit, the National, and the Slide against them-
selves and the majority, whilst at the same time they
have gained the support of M. PIERRE LEROUX whose
vanity is greatly flattered by the new provision which
compels all journalists to sign the articles which they
write. The law of the press is a declaration of war
on the part of the Assembly against literature and
literary men. It is, as the DeCats expresses it, a law
of hatred, of the hatred of crass ignorance against
learning and its professors. That it is not
solely directed to the destruction of political writers
is evident from the clause which was proposed by M.
BAROCHE on Saturday, which went to impose a
stamp duty on all periodicals whatsoever, and on all
books issued in numbers, a clause the passing of
which he declared the Ministry considered to be of
vital importance. Notwithstanding, however, the
clause was rejected by la majority of 112; the numbers
being for the clause, 227, against it, 339 ;
majority against the Ministry, 112. This is
the severest check they have ever received
In the course of !the discussion M. DE LAROCHEJAC-
QUELIN declared that his friends had been induced
to vote for the electoral law by false representation 3;
that they had no idea it would have been a measure
of such wholesale disfranchisement ; that they re-
pented them of the vote, and he gave notice that he
should move its repeal. The fact is, the Legitimatists
have discovered that tie Orleanists have tricked them,
that it is the intention of the latter to join the Bona-
partists, in order to prolong the term of the
power of the PRESIDENT' and perhaps to declare
him emperor for life, with the Count DE FARIS for his
successor, and they have accordingly seceded from the
majority. A letter welch appears in the Siecle, and
which is addressed to the Emperor SOULOUQUE by
M. LOUIS DEINOYERS would seem to show that the
Legitimatists are not far wrong in their ideas con-
cerning the advent of an Imperial regime. It says—
" Prince, please answer me frankly toe following ques-
tion—ls it pot for you that M. Dares, the upholsterer, of
the quay Conti. is executing, from designs of M. Hugues
Riotat, by M. Fourdinois, maker of sculpture d furniture,
rue Amelot, 46, the complete furniture or a throne-room,
with an imperial chti-, bildaquin, tabourets, gilded
fau'ends, birds, crowns, &c.? I fancy so, notwithsvind•
ing that the arms and ciphers are not exactly yours."
The PRESIDENT has gone to Compeigne.
The differences between Generals D'HAUTPOUL and
CHANG ARNIER still continue, and are now carried to
an extent which must be ere long subversive of the
discipline of the army. The Nctiona! says—
" A few days since tha Minister of War wrote direct
to one of the colonels of the garrison of Paris, ordering
him to send him some information relative to an officer.
The colonel replied drect to the Minister. General
Changarnier was inforned of the fact, and punished the
colonel with four days' arrest 'for having corresponded di-
rectly with the Minister of War,' and he made known
this punishment to the generals and the commanding
officers of regiments by an order of the day. The colo-
nel doubtless expected, or at least he had a right to ex-
pect, that this punishment would be taken off by the
Minister whcse order he had executed, and General
Changarnier might fear being punished in his turn or
reprimanded; but General d'llautpoul thought proper
to allow the former to take place, and did not breathe a
word of the latter. It is thus that subordination and
discipline is understood at the War-office and at the
Tuileries. Nothing can be more soldier-like, nothing
more edifying, and nothing more assuring, also, for the
generals and colonels, who are incessantly subjected to
this cross-fire between the orders and the pretensions of
Generals d'Hautpoul and Changarnier."
The committee on General GRAMMONT's proposi-
tion for the transferring the seat of government out
of Paris has recommended, by a majority of twelve to
three, that it should be taken into consideration by a
special commission.
General FABVIER'S proposition for transferring
ABD-EL-KADER to Alexandria or St. Jean d'Acre
has been rejected by the Committee of Parliamentary
Initiative.

A proposition for the prorogation of the National
Assembly from the 11 th of August to the 11 th of
October has been laid on the table.
The second balloon ascent of M. PorrEvatv on

A.CCOUCHEAIENT OF THE QUEEN

The Minister of Spain in Paris received the follow-
ing telegraphic dispatch from Madrid yesterday
evening : . . _

" Behobia, July 13, ten o'clock, P.M.
" THE MINISTER OF THE INTERIOR TO THE MINISTER

DENHARK AND THE DUCHIES.

The Cologne Gazette publishes extracts from the
note date 6 the 5:1 July, of the Chevalier BUNSEN, the
PrussLn Ambassador to the Com t of Sr. 'Laws's,
protesting against the protocol on tha Danish gues•
tine, signed by the Mini,ters of Russia, France, and
England. M. BUNSEN objet►s to the intention ma-
nifested is the protocol of incorporating the duchies
with Denmstk, as the idea of the states of which the
King of DEFMARK is the head being the parts of a
national Danish empire has never been admitted by
any public act, or law, and that, on the contrary, it
has always been opposed by Germany.
The note then urges that no settlement of the
Danish succession can take place without the con-
currence of Prussia, Austria, and the German Con-
federation.

The note goes on to say that the protocol has been
drawn up without the consent of, and in opposition
to, Germany ; that it is unjust and illegal as taking
a diplomatic view, not supported by any European
treaty, namely, the integrity of the Danish Mo-
narchy, which means that Holstein comprises
Lauenburg, and in ease of the extinction of the
younger line, even Oldenburg, thus violating the
incontestable rights of the Germanic Confedera-
tion. The note then objects to the proposed pro,
tectorate of England, France, and Russia ; affirms
that the protocol has become inapplicable, now that
peace is concluded between Prussia end Denmark;
and concludes by asserting that instead of leading to
the pacification of the duchies, it will augment the
difficulties, and will probably render Denmark more
reluctant to make the just and necessary concessions.
It is stated that the English Government, in a
dispatch addressed to its ambassador at Copenhagen,
has instructed him to notify to the Danish Govern-
ment that England will feel called upon ti protest
against any military intervention on the part of Rus-
sia in favour of Denmark. A similar communication
is said to have been made to the Court of St. Peters-
burgh.
The following, dated Berlin the 6:h, has been ad-
dressed to the Lieutenancy of Schleswig-Holstein by
the Prussian Minister of Foreign Affairs :
The King's Government hastens to make known to
the lieutenancy in general that peace between Denmark
and Prussia, stipulating in the name of the Germanic
Confederation, was signed at Berlin on the 2d. The
undersigned sends herewith-1. The treaty of peace be-
tween Denmark and Germany of the 2d July; 2. A
protocol bete een Prussia and Denmark of the same
date, containing transitory dispositions respecting the
movements cf Prussian troops; 3. A memoir which was
remitted to the German Governments in sending them the
treaty of peace. The lieutenancy-general wilt see by these
documents in what spirit the King's Government con-
cluded the peace, and how much it desires to see the con-
ditions of it appreciated by Germany and by the
duchies. The questions which gave rise to the war he-
teen Denmark and Germany are not, it is true, solved by
this peace ; they remain open, and abandoned for the
present to a direct solution between the Duchies and
Denmark, unless the Germanic Confederation shall de-
cide otherwise. Considering that it was not possible to
arrive, on the basis of the preliminaries cf peace, at an
und.rstanding as to the manner of looking at the ques-
tion, nor at measures on the condition of the ducnies
calculated t.) serve as the starting point to the
establishment of a permanent state of things,
the Prussian Government has had to abandon
the idea of arriving by these mean] at a definitive
solution cf the questions in dispute. There remained,
then, no other means of arriving at the conclusions of
peace than that which has been followed. To judge by
the great aversion which public opinion in the duchies
manifested egainst the stipulations contained in the pre-
a simple peace which causes no prejudice to
any of the rights or the country ought to he favourably
received. The lieutenancy-general itself has several
time; made known this disposition of the duchies to the
King's Government, as also their ardent wish not to see
a new organizetion imposed on them. The King's Go-
vernment could not refrain from respecting the wish
thus expressed, as the interest it takes in the condition
of the duchies, and in a pacification which would be
durable, and in conformity with their veritable interests,
is very great. In consevence, and although the point of
view under which the preliminaries were drawn up pre-
sented far Prussia and Germany, in their European
relations, advantages which it is entirely impossible to
disregard, Prussia has not insisted on their being camel
into effect, but has confined herself to sacrificing none
of the rights of the country, or of those of Germany,
but to reserve in all respects and on all occasions the
competency of the latter. The King's Government
hopes that this manner of acting will be appreciated at
its just value by the Duchies. The King, Government
takes pleasure in recognising the conciliatory manner in
which the Lieutenancy-General conducted the mission of
the men of confidence at Copenhagen. Proceedings for
effecting a reconciliation with the Duchies are about to be
made at Copenhagen. The King's Government recom-
mends the Lieutenancy to labour with all its power to
cause the Duchies to accept these proceedings animated
by the same sentiments, and to make all concessions
compatible with the rights and interests of the country,
The King's Government believes it right to repeat that
the cause of Sebleawig Holstein is also that of Germany,
in so far as it is incumbent on those on whom hence -
ferth will fall the task of directing it not to lose sight
of the responsibility which the prosperity, and the in-
terior and exterior repose, of Germany impose on them.
The King's Government does not doubt that the
Licatenancy-General will not lose sight of this manner
of locking at the que3tion.

The Ilacaburgh mail of Friday last gives the quota-

Accounts from Messina state that the town had ex-
tended greatly its commercial relations since it was de-
clared a free port in October, 1848, with England,
France, the North of Europe, the ports of the Black
Sea, and even with the Unite] States. The commerce
of Messina is all conducted within a period of eight
months annually. The chief exports are sulphur, oil,
silk, linseed, fruit, &c. Its imports are even more im-
portant, including colonial produce, hides from Brazil
and Australia, cloth from Germany, and the general ma-
nufactures of England and Belgium. French fabrics,
notwithstanding their superiority, form but a small
proportion of the imports, attributable to their dearness.
We learn from France that further seizures have
lately keen made of British fishermen trenching upon the
grounds near Havre.
The suicide of Mr. Walter Watt?, formerly of the
Globe Insurance-office, naturally excites attention once
again to the circumstances which distinguished his career,
and in no quarter have we heard a successful
att easpt to justify the faulty system pursued at
the office, or the neglect of the directors, whereby such
enormous fratels could be accomplished, supposing, of
course, that they are of the magnitude save It is
quite possible that we shall hfar very little more of the
matter ; firstly, because whatever loss may have arisen
has already been deducted from the profits; and secondly,
because the wealth of the company enables it to bear a
loss extending over so many years with perfect ease. As
a precedent, however, the cate is not one jot the less ob-
jectionable, and while such things aro possible ou a small
scale Evan, one cannot feel surprised at the announement,
ever and anon, of startling frauds committed upon great
establishmeats. What we contend is that where a per-
fset system of booking exists, and directors and auditors
perform the duty for which they are puid, such con-
tinuous plunder couli not be carried on. Isolated rob-
beries might occur, but they must be quickly accom-
plished.
Thu Funds have been much the same to-day, and the
stet 3 of the account, which has to be adjusted on Wed-
nesday, chiefly influences prices. The idea seems still
to be that the Bull speculators predominate, and
this acts as a check upon the further rise which the
abundance if money, the comparatively favour-
able complexion of political affairs, and the ex-
cellence of our revenue, would otherwise be cal-
culated to produce. The French revenue has
sensibly improved, and promises well. Consols have
been 96,i for Transfer, and 964 alternately buyers and
sellers fur August. Bank Stock has been at 211 to 2111.
Exchequr-bills are 665. to 69e, and India Bonds 83s.
to 89s. premium.
The Foreign Securities have been very inanimate
again. Mexican Bonds are 30, Peruvian at 814 to 82k,
and Buenos Ayres at 56 to 56i. Brazillian Old Bonds
have iinprorsd to 93. Dutch Four per Cents. have been
quoted 881 and Russian Five per Cents. 1102. Spanish
Three per Cents. have remained at 37k, the death of the
infant Prince not having had the slightest influence.
There is an increased business doing in Railway
Shares, but generally at lower rates, as buy ers supply
the market, and the half-monthly account is rather
bidish. The statements as to dividends, &e., to be made
at the next meetings, still cause uncertainty.
