(, jury of the county of Surrey, in sessions assembled, do pre-
sent—That it is the opinion of the grand jury, in the present
improved mode of administering the public justice of the
country, that the institution of grand juries, though at the
time they were established they were of great value, is now
not only unnecessary, but actually injurious to the public in-
terests : First, because the careful investigation of the cases
by the committing magistrates, aided by professional men,
who appear for the prosecution, and in the defence of the
accused, have fully sifted the case in its preliminary stages.
By this the institution of grand juries is rendered unneces-
sary. Secondly, the opportunity for tampering with wit-
nesses, in order that the evidencegiven before the grand jury
may induce them to ignore the bill, although the evidence
given before the magistrates fully justified the committal of
the prisoner. Thirdly, that the province of the grand jury is
often abused by having bills preferred which relate to accu-
sations that have never been previously investigated by ma-
gistrates, and which are often the result of a desire to extort
monej, from the parties accused, or for the purpose of revenge.
" For these reasons the grand jury consider their functions
are no longer beneficial, that they are often injurious, and
might be well dispensed with."
The presentment was signed by the foreman and, the whole
of the grand jury.
The Chairman remarked that the presentment was a very
important public document, and he understood that a similar
one had been made in another place. It was not, however,
in the province of the magistrates to offer any opinion on the
subject, but he trusted it would receive that proper attention
which its importance demanded by the official authorities, to
whom it would be forwarded.

No man has done more for the simplifying and
amending the law than Sir ROBERT PEEL—few men,
with all his faults, have laboured more to curb the
insolence of magistrates than Sir JAMES GRAHAM :
let them look well to the subject ; and if in the aboli-
tion of grand juries, they shall deem it necessary to
abolish an unpaid and irresponsible magistracy, and
to replace it by legal stipendiary investigators of
charges, they will earn the thanks and approval of the
great majority of the country.

In our last article on Sir ROBERT PEEL'S Cur-
rency Speech of the 20th instant we intimated that
the Premier had advanced some propositions respect-
ing the silver element of our currency, too remark-
able not to call for special notice. We had, accord-
ingly, selected some passages for extract and com-
mentary, with a view to the exposition of the signal
fallacies and palpable mistakes on the part of the
Premier, which they involved ;—mistakes of the most
unaccountable nature as to the facts and data as-
signed by him; and fallacies inevitably consequent on
the illogical conclusions he had thereby been led to—
when we received a copy of "An Enquirer after
Truth's Letter to the Premier ; in reply to his Speech
on the Bank Charter Act." In the " Enquirer after
Truth" we detect, if we do not greatly err, the
author of " The Minister Mistaken ;" and it is cer-
tain that he has wielded in this instance the same
arms which he employed on his former tilt
against the Bullionists, with still more tremendous
effect against the Premier,—the venturous but
luckless disciple of the late Mr. HusKassoi —" Sed
imper congressus Finding that the "En-
quirer after Truth," in many instances, completely
concurs in the views we have expounded (in The Sun
of Thursday last, especially) of the suicidal inconsis-
tencies accumulated in Sir ROBERT'S speeches of the
7th and the 20th instant, and that he, in others, re-
markably confirms the course he had proposed to
take in dealing with the further " extracts" in ques-
tion; we had availed ourselves of the opportunity
thus affordet us to incorporate the latter in the notice
of the " Letter to the Premier," which will be found
in another part of our columns.
To that notice we entreat the attention of our
readers. The author of the pamphlet has made out a
case so irresistible and so convincing against the Pre-
mier, in this last attempt of his to tamper with our
monetary system ; that we cannot see what escape re-
mains to Sir R. PEEL from between the two horns of the
dilemma, on one of which the " Enquirer after Truth"
has impaled him. Either he is, on his own recorded
statement, the most presumptuous and incompetent
statesman who ever dabbled in the statistics of money
and money legislation in this country, or he is the
most disingenuous, tricky, and selfish Minister, who
ever lacked the courage to avow the true motives of an
indefensible policy, the manliness to acknowledge its
disastrous consequences, or the spirit to retrieve, where
he could no longer be blind to them. He must be
content to know that he is now convicted of the most
gross and culpable ignorance of the fact on which he
admits that his propositions, in reference to the re-
newal of the Bank of England Charter, are founded.
If the data he has cited as those which authenticate
the measures which he recommends for the adoption
of Parliament, falsified as they have been in his speech
of the 7th instant, have not been so misstated in igno-
norance or misrepresentation—on what other hy-
pothesis are we to account for their falsifi-
cation ? But if he has thus blundered in
stating such all-important premises, —no mat-
ter whether in error or designedly—what is
his amount of fitness to direct the councils of
nation, of whose interests he has thus hazarded the
fatal compromise on a question, the universal nature
of which he himself thus describes There is no
contract, public or private—no engagement, national
or individual, which is unaffected by it. The enter-
prises of commerce, the profits of trade, the arrange.
ments to be made in all the domestic relations of
society, the wages of labour, the transactions of the
highest amount and of the lowest, the payment of the
National Debt, the provision for the national expen-
diture on the one hand, and the command which the
coin of the smallest denomination has over the neces-
saries of life on the other—are all affected by the
decision to which Parliament may come on that great
question which I am about to submit to the considera-
tion of this Committee."—(Speech, May 7.) What
is the tremendous responsibility of that judge who
shall have misdirected the jury assembled to try a
question of this fearful, this awful magnitude ?
In what did this misdirection consist ? What have
been the data which have been falsified in his
statement ?
We hare, in former articles, endeavoured to show
the precise passages which supply the answer to these
questions, and we reserved for the present occasion
an exposition of his proposals about silver—so far as
it may be.possible to collect what
.is meant to be done
by a Minister, who is so nervously anxious to show
that he cannot make up his mind as to what he should
do. We shall not pain the reader by again con-
trasting the Right lion. Baronet's "clear conclusion"
that bullion, in reference to that upon which the
Bank of England, and other banks of issue, shall
make issues of notes, shall be understood to mean
"gold only," with his supplementary contrivance that
as to one-fourth of the Bank of England's
issues- that bullion may be in silver. I

seems little necessary, moreover, to retail after
Sir ROBERT such trite truisms as that "there

would be a great advantage in having a stock of
silver in the Bank, which► could be used for the recti-
fication of the exchanges, and for other advantages of
a commercial nature;" or his profound discovery
that " silver is of advantage to the merchants of this
country in enabling them readily to make remittances

to India, and China, and other places." Probably,
Sir ROBERT imagined that the public generally were
not aware that silver is the principal medium of remit-
tance in these two great branches of our trade. He

does, however, admit his fears that the advantageous

means must be abandoned "if Parliament insist on
confining the issues of the Bank to gold, and gold
alone." But the Bight Hon. Baronet is so egregiously
absurd in the first principle of his argentine doctrine
that we cannot omit the duty of once more, and in a
more precise manner, indicating the more salient
evidences of his blundering.
In his attempt to show " what constitutes the
measure of value in this country," he declared that

" the whole foundation of his present proposals rested

on the assumption, that according to law, and the

ancient monetary policy of this country, the meaning

of a pound is neither more nor less than a certain

quantity of gold with a mark upon it." We exhibited
the groundlessness of this assumption in our paper of
Thursday last; but our present business is with the

historical illustrations into which he expatiated. "In
the reign of WILLIAM the CONQUEROR" (he says) " a

pound of silver was the pound of account." "A Pound

represented both the weight of the metal, and denomi-

nation of the money. By subsequent debasements of
the currency, a great alteration was made, not in the

name, but in the intrinsic value of the pound sterling;
nor was it until a late period of ELIZABETH'S reign,
that silver, then the standard of value, received that

determinate weight which it retained without varia-
tion, with constant refusals to alter it, until 1716,
when gold was practically substituted for silver as
the exclusive standard of value."

The " Enquirer after Truth," addressing Sir Ro •
BERT on this portion of the speech, writes, " De-
basements have ref'rence to some greater admixture
of alloy than before with the precious metals. This
happens to be a charge from' which the English coin

has always been remarkably free. From the earliest
itimes to the present, with the exception of fourteen
years, from 34 HENRY VIII. to 1 ELIZABETH (1543 to
1557), the standard fineness of English silver coin
was 11 oz. 2 dwts. fine silver to 18 dwts. alloy; and
even in six of those fourteen years, the standard was
11 oz. 1 dwt. to 19 dwts of alloy ; so that, with the
exception of, properly speaking, only eight years, the
standard of our silver coin has always been the same
from the Anglo-Saxon times to the present day." . .
. . " Your intention, doubtless, was to say, that the
weight ofthe coin had teen diminished, by which a great
alteration had been made, not in the name, but in the
intrinsic value of the pound from the time of Witalsm
the CONQUEROR to ELIZABETH. This is true. The
pound weight of silver was coined from 1066
to 1601 (omitting the eight years of de-
basement) successively into 205., 20s. 3d., 225. 6d.,
25s , 305., 375. 6d., 455., 605., and 625. But how
utterly incompatible these facts are with the
Premier's definition of a pound, as " a quantity of
the precious metals of certain weight and certain fine-
ness—a certain ckflnite quantity of gold—a definite
quantity of the precious metals," his own historical
examples had shown, and the "Enquirer after Truth"
still more happily proves. It never occurred to the
philosophical sagacity of the Premier to make any
allowance, in estimating the worth of a certain quan-
tity of silver throughout a period of nearly eight
centuries, or any given proportion of that period, for
the effect of the discovery of America, and the mines
of Potosi, for example, or the value of the commo-
dity. From the earliest times " till the year 1600, the
proportions of silver and gold were generally recog-
nised as ten to one. Ten ounces of silver were worth
one ounce of gold." Now, as silver accumulated
from being raised with so much less labour
in the New World than in the Old, this
relative value gradually changed until the
proportion became 15 to 1. This subject is so large,
and is so ably treated in detail, as is also the fluctua-
tion of the gold pound, in the pamphlet to which we
refer, that we dare not pursue it in this place. We
will therefore take but a single illustration, and it is
from the same author. He says, addressing the
Premier :—" But your wish, apparently, was to con-
tinue one pound in coin at the same value which it
possessed in the last two years of the reign of ELIZA-
BETH. Unfortunately, Sir, for your consistency, our
pound sterling underwent four alterations after that.
In 1604, only three years after the last alteration, the
gold pound of the value of 20s. in silver was coined
at the weight of 154 grains; which gives for the
pound sterling, both in gold and silver, the value of
255. of our present money. In 1625, it was coined
of the weight of 140 grains, which makes the pound
sterling in gold and silver equal to 225. 9d. of our
present money. In 1675 it was reduced to 129 grains,
being still of the value of 205., which makes the pound
sterling worth only 21s. of our present money (this
gold pound was afterwards called a guinea) ; and in
1815 it was coined of the weight of 123 grains,
or nearly so, which is its present weight.
Of these changes you appear to have been
uninformed." And with this plain account of the Pre-
mier's unpardonable error in dealing with the sub-
ject of the weight and the measure of value, and the
unceremonious but just remonstrance with which it

is followed up by the e "Enquirer," we shall for the
present quit this branch of the question :—" Conceiv-
ing that as the same weight was found in the silver
pound its value was the same,—and that, for conve-
nience sake alone gold was substituted for silver in
1774 as the standard measure of value—you concluded
that when the pound troy of silver was coined into
66 shillings (four of which were retained for seignor-
age), we were brought practically to the same mea-
sure of value which we had in 1601. I trust, Sir,
you are now satisfied that this was an error of yours ;
and since this erroneous assumption of the antiquity
and uniformity of the measure of value which you
recommend is made the reason of your new currency
measures ; I earnestly hope that you will for the
the present suspend any further proceedings in rela-
tion to this business, and allow the country a little

longer respite to consider what steps it may be pru-
dent to take in the present posture of affairs. When
such, mistakes as these are made by one who is con-
sidered an oracle on the subject of currency, it is
time to pause and look about us."

We call the attention of our readers to a state-
ment made by the Chief Justice of the Queen's
Bench this day, in the case of the QUEEN V. BLAKE
AND OTHERS. The other Judges concurred in the
reasons assigned for granting a new trial, and it will

_ , _ .....
be seen that it applies to the. Irish State trials, and is
at utter variance with the directions of the Irish
Chief Justice and two other Judges in their address
to the jury.

We quote the following paragraph from the Liver-
pool Albion, for the purpose of making one or two
a gown and petticoat, and
w
comments on it An Irish girl, aged seventeen,
who had borne a good character, was lately tried at
transportation. It is
nS
otaaws fford
believed for
sentenced
o n
t havinghta that
sshesevt
eol en
years'
merely
the goods to wear
took
on some particular occasion, without any intention of
keeping them. She heard the judgment, and remained
stupified ; in twenty-four hours she was a lunatic,
and is now in the infirmary with no hopes of reco-
very. She was a remarkably handsome girl, but
from the period of her sentence her health visibly
declined, and her hair has actually turned grey."
Had the punishment of this poor creature been duly
proportioned to the offence she had committed, and
the mitigatory circumstances of her case been taken
intoconsideration magistrate who tried her,
she would n the distressing—the hope-
lessothave
been thei n
condition in which she now is ; the ends of jus-
tice would have been quite as satisfactorily answered;
and the girl herself—wretched victim of the undue
severity of magisterial law—would, most probably,
have been reclaimed—for she is specially described
as having " borne a good character," up to the un-
fortunate moment when she yielded to temptation—
and, warned by humiliating experience, hare become
for the rest of her days an irreproachable member of
society. But the opportunity of retrieving herself
was not afforded her; her first offence was visited, as
if it had been her twentieth; no distinction was made
between her case and that of the most hardened
veteran thief; but precisely the same punishment
was awarded to her, as would have been awarded to a
BAILRIIcGTON, or a Major SEMPLE, had they been
convicted of the same theft. This is no solitary
instance of the injudicious and impolitic harshness of
magisterial decisions. Scarcely a week passes, but
some case or other occurs in our metropolitan police-
courts, or our provincial quarter-sessions, illustrative
of the undue severity of, or the undue lenity of, those
who sit in judgment. Not unfrequently it happens
that raw lads, who have scarcely yet entered their
teens, are subjected to the dreary horrors of a gaol
for offences, for which a good flogging from their
parents or guardiani would have been quite punish-
ment enough; and when the term of their imprison-
ment expires, and they are turned loose once again on
the world, what with the humiliation they have en-
dured—inflicted on them at a time of life when the
feelings are most exquisitely sensitive—and the polluted
society they have perforce kept, when they have heard
principle and honour laughed to scorn, as the mere
idle dream of fools and visionaries, they have become
to all just and generous impulses, and quit the
in a far different frame of mind to that in
they entered it—namely, as desperate, deter

callow
prison
which

mined reprobates. It is incalculable the miscWefs
that are done to society by this indiscriminate mode
of punishment on the part of mngistratts. Many a
poor wretch, who has been banished for life, or ex-
piated his crimes on the scaffold, may trace his utter
ruin to the injudicious harshness with which he was
visited for his first offence, and which precluded all
chance of his reformation. As exercised by too
many of our magisterial authorities, law makes
almost as many rogues as it condemns, and never fails
to cut out a prodigious deal of work thrice a year for
our going Judges of Assize. " Nemo repente fuit
turpissimus," says the old Latin proverb, and there is
much wisdom in this aphorism, for in the great ma-
jority of cases it is by degrees only that men become
hardened criminals ; and were they to be treated for
their first offence with consideration and humanity

by their Judges, and allowed an opportunity of
reformation, the whole complexion of their subse-
quent career might be altered, and instead of becoming
the pests of society, and ending their lives on the
gallows, they might become honest and industrious
citizens, and, night and dal', find cause to bless the
judge who treated their first fault-with 5o much dis- j

crimination and considerate forbearance. But magis-
trates seldom think of these things ; they do not
trouble their heads with nice distinctions, but con-
found all shades of guilt together; and seem to ima-
gine that their duty begins and ends in awarding the
same measure of punishment to the hardened as to the
inexperienced offender.

The intelligence from Madrid, which is to the 22d
inst., is entirely destitute of interest. Preparations
were still going on at Barcelona for the reception of
the "idolised QuEEN " and her "immortal mother,"
epithets applied to them by a Barcelona journal.
The Three per Cents. closed at 29 for cash, and
29 9-16 at 60 days; and the Five per Cents. at 20i.

In the French Chamber of Deputies, on Monday,
the President having taken the chair, read to the
Chamber a letter from the Prince DE LA MOSHONVA,
announcing the death of his father-in-law, M.
JACQUES LAFFITTE. The President next drew the
names of the members of the grand deputation who
were to attend his funeral, and when he had con-
cluded, voices from different parts of the hall ex-
claimed that the assembly would assist in a body at
the ceremony. A discussion then commenced on the
state of foreign affairs, but chiefly on the old and
worn-out subject—the recal of M. DUPETIT THOUARS,
when M. GuizoT moved a vote of 600,000 f. for ex-
traordinary missions. M. BERRTER commenced the
debate in a speech which made no impression on the

Chamber, and had not concluded at the adjournment.
He therefore resumed it on Tuesday, and made an
attack on M. GulzoT, for succumbing to the English
in the affair of Otaheite, and also in allowing them to
occupy the whole of New Zealand. We find nothing
in the speech, however, that can interest the English
reader, if we except the following attempt to rouse
his sleepy hearers:—" What," said he, "is not only
Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS to be disavowed, but
must his disgrace be communicated through a British
medium ? Is it an Englishman who is to put under
the nose of our Admiral the Monitour, containing
this insolent decision ? Is it an Englishman who is
charged to say to a French Admiral, 'Begone,' and
to Captain BRUAT, Je vous chasse " This pro-
duced what the French reporters called a "movement.
GUIZOT in his reply said, " That he conceived
the violence of the attacks directed against the acts of
the Administration was the right of the Opposition,
and the principle of the Constitutienal Government;
but he could not conceive that it should stoop to the
perversion of facts in order to substantiate its charges.
In reference to the occupation of New Zealand, he
said, that island had been repeatedly visited, from
1790 to 1814, by British navigators, who had taken
possession of it in the name of Great Britain. The
Government, however, did not sanction that occupa-
tion, and it was only from 1815 to 1838 that com-
panies had endeavoured to prevail upon England to
act upon that occupation. It was not true, as M.
BERRTER had asserted, that Captain HOBSON had re-
ceived no instructions from his Government. Those
instructions were of July, 1839, and enjoined him to
negotiate a treaty with the chiefs for the cession of
the northern islands, and in February, 1840, a treaty
to that effect was signed by 512 chiefs of that island.
In April following, a similar treaty was concluded
with the chiefs of the southern island. Their regular
occupation by England was an accomplished fact."
After repeating his former arguments in reference
to the recal of Admiral DUPETIT THOUARS, he con-
cluded by declaring, that if the present Cabinet
carefully avoided all that might tend to weaken the
good intelligence existing between two great nations,
in no instance had it been guilty of an act of com-
plaisance derogatory to the dignity and interests of
the country. M. THIERS, M. BARROT, and several
other Members were expected to speak.
On Tuesday the Monthly Committees were re-
newed, when the Government had a great majority
in seven out of the nine. M. TRIERS was elected by
a majority of only one.

The Funds have again advanced. On Tuesday the
Three per Cents. had risen to 84f. 75c., at which
price they closed.

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The return for
the week ending the 25th was a slight increase as
compared with the previous week, but is still under
the average. The total number of deaths was 876,
previous week 862, average 883; and, taking the
average for the last five years, the number was 946.
This shows that though the weather has been unu-
sually dry, and there have been keen east winds, the
general health of the population of London has not
suffered. Indeed we hear from the different hospitals
that at no former period were there so few cases of
disease in these establishments. The beds for pa-
tients in one establishment are nearly empty. In one
hospital where they have beds for twenty-six, only
two patients were received. In cases of small-pox,
scarlatina, and croup, the amount is considerably
, above the average, which is 161, while last week it
I was 206. In diseases of the lungs there is a consi-
derable diminution, the averaga being 286, while last
week it was only 239. Thirty-six persons died of
small-pox, and of these twenty-four had not been vac-
cinated. The number of violent deaths was 12—ave-
rage 24. Of these there were two cases from frac-
ture or contusion by falls—one by a carriage, one from
swallowing a needle, four from drowning, one from
murder, and only two from suicide. The thermometer
was highest on Friday, 66.8, and lowest, on Satur-
day, 42.8.

Ascor RACES.—BeIrs Life in London, Sunday,
June 2, will contain glycographic engravings of the Ascot
prizes, anticipations by Pegasus, full particulars of the ex-
humation and mutilation of Leander, the three tilting
matches, settling for the Derby, and all other sporting
varieties. Bell's Life of last Sunday, May 26, gave upwards
of five folio columns of Epsom Races, with a portrait of the
winner, by Mr. herring, Chantilly, Derby, and Oaks, and an
epitome of the week's miscellaneous news, and 100 advertise-
ments chiefly connected with sporting matters. The inser-
tion of a single advertisement in Bell's Life may be equally
beneficial to that of half-a-dozen in some journals. A six-
pence, or six penny stamps, to Mr. Clements, jun., 170, Strand,
will at all times insure a copy of Bell's Life by return of post.
The weekly sale of Bell's Life exceeds 2b,000 copies. It is
