Letters from Vienna of the 11th inst. asy, that

the Austrian Observer published the Manifesto
and Declaration of the Emperor of RUSSIA, Nit
that, contrary to expectation, the publication el
these documents had been followed by a rise io
the Funds. On the 10th inst. the Mstalliquts
were 89i; Bank Shares 10 11k.

It may not be wrong, but it 18 decideall
common-place, to attack the " Great Unpaid;'o
they are facetiously termed by the wits of the
day, but at the same time we are convinced thti
the possession of a petty jurisdiction is not so{'
ficient to eradicate the seeds of ambition in th°
human mind, and that—

" The wisest Justice on the banks of Trent,"
requires in his little sphere the control of
vigilant observation, as much as the Monas"
who sways the destinies of Empires. Indatil
the love of dominion may be well termed " th'
ruling passion" with the greater portion ,Of
mankind, and displays itself alike in the Pripc°
and in the Pedagogue,—in the General 000
and Justice of the Peace,—in the Captain of
man of war, and in the unfeminine usurper
a husband's rights.
It is therefore from no want of respect for PP
great body of the English Magistracy that...ll
rejoice in any measure which curtails !hi!
powers of mischief, but simply because die°
jurisdiction is nut sufficiently amenable to
Responsibility in the Executive is the veryeil
Fence of our Constitution, and it must be s'
flagrant case indeed where a Magistrate exPo6ls
himself to disgrace and punishMent. Ofarei
peated acts of favouritism and injustice pass to'
noticed, where the proof of a corrupt motive i/
difficult to obtain, and the expense of proeeo'

tion is absolutely ruinous.
Now there is no part of his jurisdiction wherf
a Magistrate can so securely commit
as in the granting of licenses. We
• not suppose the case of the ale-hoti.d
being his own property, but there are il.o'
merable instances where private pique 1113
influence a Magistrate in withholding a licence'
and thereby ruining a respectable and industrifil,
individual. We therefore approve of any law
extends a jurisdiction, dangerOus in pfoporti6
to the narrowness of its sphere, and which is riv#
unquestionably perverted in too many instaoc°
to private and unjustifiable purposes. • .
It is certainly singular, as was observed
Mr. HEATIICOTE, that this Licensing 1311
has been introduced by one of the Members!
the University of Oxford, and notwithstando
the disclaimer of his Right Hon. Colletg
we suspect that his learned constituents
deeply interested in any measure of the sort.
