It is now fifty years and more since Mr.-I.3ErgnAst
wrote and published those works on the anomalous con-
dition_ of our laws which have ever since been a sort
,f hand-book to law reformers. In particular, Mr.
BENTHam exposed . and satirized most of the rules fol-
lowed in our" Courts relative to taking evidence, Ile
described them as calculated to stifle, not elicit truth,
bht hiS remarks were derided -by most of the sages of
attr Courts, who persisted in describing every part of the
law of England as the very perfection of wisdom.
It is now 'fourteen years, as Lord Bitouompt—to
Whom it is no dishonour to say, that he was a pupil and
friend of BRNTHAM—stated- last night, since that Noble
Lord recommended to the Legislature; in his elaborate
ipeech on'LaW Reform, as many of the principles which
BENTHAM had expounded as the Noble Lord thought
• were practicable, -or as the public was then likely to
Appreciate. In, spite, however, of Lord BROUGHAM'S
exertions; both in the House of Commons and the
douse of Lords, he has been able to effect only a few of
.he •reforms he suggested in 1828 ; and to this day the
:ules or laws of evidence remain very nearly as at the
time of Binnam.
. A great progress, however, has, we are happy to say,
suddenly been made. The great number of Law Lords
"still in the vigOur of their intellect, who are now in the
[louse of -Peers (six were present last night), seem to have
made them all emulous to do something to distinguish
themselves as law reformers. Hence a great number of
measures to improve the administration of the law have
been suddenly shot on their Lordships' table. Coming
before the public from such authority, they all confirm
the popular impression that the law is a great mass of
unjust and incongruous inconsistencies. Nearly to that
point the heads of the law arc already brought, and we
do, not despair of soon seeing them—rivals as they now
are in- the race of legislation—taking the lead of the
people in condemning the old and in framing new laws.
Last night Lord DENMAN moved the second reading
othis Bill•to amend the law relative to taking evidence.
The Noble Lord, purposes to admit the evidence of Men
once convicted of felony or perjury, now wholly excluded,
and. the evidence of persons having an interest in a suit,
now very partially and inconsistently shut out; leaving the
Jury.to determine its value. He quoted several instances
of incongruity in.our present practices. For example:
a gentleman had employed a person for many years
as his steward, whom he knew had been convicted of
felony ; and
.the steward had received on his account a
considerable sum of money from an attorney whom the,
gentleman employed. The account ran on for years :
last term only a trial came on growing out of a demand
made by the gentleman on the attorney, to account fur
sums.of money. The attorney said he had paid them to
the steward, and when he brought the steward into Court
to bear evidence of the fact, the gentleman produced the
record of his steward's former conviction, and defeated
the' ends of justice. It was properly concluded, there-
fore, that thus tOdisable witnesses is to inflict damage
or punishnient on the innocent, who May have occasion
for their testimony - - - •

This event, which from the celebrity of the horses entered
and the value of the stakes, has caused so much interest in
the sporting world, came off yesterday. The weather in the
early part of the day was very favourable, which caused
a great influx of visitors into the quiet village of Yarn.
ton (about four miles from Oxford), near to whicb spot the
start was to take place. Three o'er ck was the time fixed, but it
was nearly four o'clock before they were all saddled and ready at
which time the following horses came to the post :—Mr. Elmore's
Gay Lad, Marquis of Waterford's Columbine, Baron Rothschild's
Consul, Mr. Ekin's Luck's. All, Mr. Lewis's Tallyho, Marquis of
Waterford's Usurper, Captain Evans's Jemmy, ditto Heythorp;
Mr. Quarterman's Roderic Random, Mr. Vever's Little Tommy;
Mr. W. Robertson'S The Pony, ditto Memento; Mr. J. Tultitt's
Little Comberton. The ground was thronged • with thousands of
horsemen and carriages; 'welt filled with spectators, anxiously
waiting the coming event;` in fact, we heard many of the
oldest sportsmen declare, that they never saw so many
horsemen at any one time before. The line chosaa 'NOW trona

good stiff fences with double ditches, brook five yards wide, with
a stone wall, finishing in a field to the left of Yarnton church. The
tot got well off together, faking the first fence in gallant style;
Roderick Random tlightly in advance, Consul second, Gay Lad
third, the rest well up. In this order they kept till they came to
the brook, which they charged, Roderic Random clearing it in
gallant style, nine of the remainder being immersed in the' cooling ,
stream. Gay Lad getting out first, rapidly gained ground on
Roderic, but went the wrong side of the post, but returned, chat-
enged Roderic, and won by half a neck, after one of the finest
races ever witnessed. The distance was run in twelve minutes.

MR. WILSON'S ILLUSTRATIONS Or SCOTTISH Mu
sic Ann SON;G:—The illustrations.of Mer Wilson have justl3
aequired that notice which their attractions demand, and the
interest felt in them was amply testified by , the very respect-
able and crowded audience which attended on Monday at the
Music Hall in Store-street, on the occasion ofhis tenth en-
tertainment, Mr. Wilson's style, a's we haie is a'former occa-
sion stated, is particularly felicitous, whether :t be in narrat-
ing, some tale of pathetic interest the subject of song, or
singing With expressive character a humourous old song. The
entertainment on Monday last comprised the adventurei of
Prince Charles, and a review of the Rebellion in 1745; ins-
trated by a variety of songs, all sung with humour or feeling,'
as the,burden of the Song demanded, drawing loud .apphiuse.
upon the eloquent illustrator, whose powers of infusing pathos
into song we never heard surpassed. We hope, that for the
sake of good taste, these entertainments; rational, amusing;
arid instructing as they are, will confirm...! .to draw as crowded
audiences as yeas collected on Monday night. •

very useful invention, which its patentees,„Mesirs.. Davis, of
the Poultry-,chambers, are about to ints-oduce.,to.pUblic notice.
combines the useful with the agreeable, and is equidly calculated
for the desk of the counting-hons 6 as for that of the parlour;
but more especially, from its compactness and portability, is it
adapted to the portfolio of the traveller, whether'he be cores 1
mercially seeking to increase his store, or recreatively enjoying
himself by the banks of the ' lazy Scheldt or wandering Po.
The peculiar utility of this invention is, that it ereirelv dis-
penses with the use of a candle, each stick,of wax, sufficient
only for sealing one letter, being chemically provided with the
means of self. ignition. To give it greater completeness, and
by way of bolder, which .is removable, a seal, bearing an initial
or other device, has been contrived to affix to these small mo-
dicums of wax; thus perfecting the process of sealing a letter.
with the least possible trouble. Sufficeit to add that, they are,
dispensed in convenient quantities, and at a very moderate
price."—Morning, Herald.
MR.' BURKE'S NEW PErRAGE ANH BARONETAGE
FOR 1842.1-The New Edition of 'Mr. Burke's valuable Peerage
and Bartinetage for the present year has just been issued, cor-
rected to the-present time, and containing' all the new crea-
tions. This work has long been considered the -standard
authority on all Matters concerning the-Nubility, of our coun-
try, which fall within its scope, and it is sufficient to say of it
th.at every successive Edition receives such progressive im-
provements as well entitle it to the praise awarded by a
Contemporary Journal, of being " the best, the eneapest, and
the most convenient of the kind ever offered to the public."

NEWLY-INVENTED SPECTACLES.--The arti-
ficial aid afforded to the Sight by Lenses, is one, of the most valu-
able gifts derived from science, and it Is indeed of vital importance
that the adoption of Spectacles to imperfect vision, should be regu-
lated on proper principles. Messrs. S. and B. Solomons, 39, Al-
bemarle-street, Piccadilly. opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King
William-street, Bank of England, having devoted their whole lives
to this branch of Science, and their long extensi•e practice have
enabled them to invent Spectacle Lenses upon a now construction,
which have • gained universal approbation. Immediately they are
placed before imperfect vision, either by lay, or candle-light, that
mist and chillness which appear before the eyes is at once removed,
every object becomes clear and distinct, so that the most
aged imperfect sight becomes bright and brilliant, and is
brought to its youthful, natural, and original state. Their
Invisible Operative Voice Conductor for deaf persons is net
the least perceptible nor more uncomfortable than having a piece of
wool in its place; they give immediate relief to old standing ex.
treme cases of deafness. Those valuable inventions have also gained
the Patronage of the Royal Family, and the Unqualified approbation
of above four hundred of the principal members of the medical
profession, and numerous individuals of high distinction who hove
been greatly benefited by their use.—No "connexion with persona of

LONDON :
WEDNESDAY MORNING, MARCH 9. 1642.

We may not expect to influenceln the smallest degree
the decision which the House of Commons will come to

CAVIL SIDE.
(Before Baron GURNEY and a Common Jury.)

This was an "tip" .brcuAtt, under rather curious eircinn-
stances, to recover
compensatior, from the defendant, fur hav-
ing assaulted the. plaintiff, Mad with violence ejected him from
the church of North Weald in this county.
.Mr. Sergeant Shea and Mr. Peacock were for the plaintiff,
and Mr. 1 hesiger and Mr.
,M.arsh.for the defendants.
The Learned Stuo.xaNa.. in .his addretis to the. Jury' said,
parish clerk to North Weald, and, he now sought compensation
that hiS client was aged nfahs and he had been:. forty years
front the defendants, oneof whom was the churchwarden, and
the other the overseer of that parish, for having, without any
just cause, outs aged ins,feelings, in the face of the parishioners,
by wham he had been known and respected for so many years, by
causing him to boyielently ejected from,the church. The Learned
Sergeant proceeded to. s.y, that,the office filled by; the plaintiff
was a freehold office,. from Which no one could remove him
.
sjihout,going through the neces ary. forms required' by the
law ; but, it appeared ,that in this justance the Rector had
thongbt #t to distuaishins, and appoint another person in his
pt ace, and ti-pon. An,„.nlaimijf,g,ttetapt ins Ao takes 41tia Placa •in

this evening on the second reading of the Corn-keeping.;
out Bill, nevertheless, we cannot allow the last stage, on
which there will probably be a division, to.pass withnin
once more entering; in the name of a long-suffering and
oppressed people,- our indignant remonstrance against
perpetuating a.great national calamity by consummating
another piece of wicked legislation.;- The- ignorant law
makers of 1815 and .1828 may .stand excused because
they had not witnessed the horrible effects of their legis-
lation; but the lawmakers of 1842 have witnessed those
'e'ffectshtive seen our commerce becom© Unprofitable,
. .
and our, people starvtng—and, unable to pleadignorance,
they will I;e•,convicted by an impartial posterity of pure
:malignity.
• Though the division to-night will boon the principle of
of the Bill, we 'understand, 'with regret, that' neither
Lord JOllN,,.jlirssitiLL nor Lord PALMERSTON is to
take the lead in' rejecting it, The Whigs will probably
entrust this important work to some young Member of
their party. They are afraid, perhaps, of committing

' The arginent, of Lord pEN.u.srt .was supported and
carried further by the LORD CHANCELLOR, who quoted
a-COnsidertible.nuinher of instances of incongruities, for
which we must refer to his speech, contenting ourselves
with mentioning one. A man united with others in a
polity of insurance; can give no evidence in any cause
touching that 1)6E4, because he haS an interest in it.,.in-
. Courts of Law. But he, and all concerned, can go into ti
Court of Equity, and make affidavits about it by whole-
sale; The LOUD CHANCELLOR properly called this a great
inconsisteney; and 110 deseribed several other instances,
which he mentioned, as gross absurdities and great in-
consistencies, lie said several times that the law was
inconsistent and absurd. Lord
.WYNFOED took the' same
line, and the two loble, Lords went so far that Lord
DENMAN, a law reformer, _ was obliged, as he good
humouredly said; to interpose, and shield the law
from • the .attacks of Lord WYNYOItD and the Lon],
CHANCELLOR. •.. Lords BROUGHAM and CAMPBELL con-
cut-red in these doctrines, and the Bill which, a low
years ago; Would'have encountered innumerable obsta-
cles, was-read' a second time, by the acclamation, as it
-were; 'of the Law Lords, and ordered to-be Committed
after the recess, when, by the presence of the _Judges, it
--. . .
is hope that the Bill may be made a Perfect. law. • . ~. ,
• , We much rejoice at this great change, but it is not
unattended with some painful reflections. These Law
Lords, who 'now denounce the law us inconsistent and
absurd, have heretofore been' ready to smite to...the
death the unprofessional people who have doubted-or
decried - the .xlidene. ,of the law. Writers against the
law have been held up as libellers, as exciting seditiou
,and 'provoking' digarder,• and alinbst as rebels. After
inflicting ;nail), ':i3enaities and much misery 'on the
.couple to support the . reputation of , the law,
-the; firA.mirristers in the temple of their great idol now
slout out With the people, it is a great mass ofhicon-
.sisteney andabstirdity. When the Tory Lon. 'CUAN:,
CELLOR—who seems to have returned to his first-loe of-
something More than Whiggism—espouses such opinions,
We are, :surethat a great revolution has taken place in
public sentinieut,. which must soon_ be embodied in a
great-practical reform.

THE LATH ALLEGED DEFALCATION AT TIIE
Taxasue.v.—We understand there will be no loss whatever to
the public in consequence of the irregularitv in Mr. Petkins's
accounts. That gentleman has already paia 1,0001 into the
Treasury, and, we understand, given a bond for the remainder
of what is due from him. Mr. P • is Much respected by all
who know him.
We have to announce the death of Baron Roger,
of the Academie Francaise. He underwent, two months ago,
an operation for a disease in the kidneys, from which his fa-
mily and friends had expected a complete recovery, but their
Lutes have been disappointed,

themselves'tuo far in the good cause, and so they forfeit
that sympathy and support which an assumption of hear
tiness would obtain for them. Irk spite, howeVer, of the
feebleness, and lukewarmness of their efforts, the cause
is so good that it will obtain, we are informed,_ some in-
creased support, and ..the: Bill. will go- up to the House
of Lords condemned by a very:large,' fi very 'intelligent,
and a very 'powerful minority.
Though weknow.we run the hazard of wearying our
readers by again referring to this' subjeCt, we must
remind, them that the - whole of that great branch
of s icial science which Mr. MALmus so

touch enlarged us to make it heir' ,his • name,
rests on the adMitted and undeniable truth, that
the only check to the- -progress, of. population, social
greatness, and social happiness,-4 THE WAIT OF FOOD ;
and that this want, pressing on man ut every stage, of
'its -existence; is the source Of all his difficulties, the
iiurent of all his struggles, and the chief 'cause of the:
prevalence of vice and misery. Ear be it from us to
breathe a doubt of the sublime wisdom of this dispen-
sation. We see j.n.the continual recurrence of the diffi-
cu

•,y of producing food for. an increasing. population,
an unceasing, goad to invention and improvement. It is
'at once the means by which the social capacities of iu-
dividnals are enlarged, and b) 's hich the earth will it,
time be fully peopled. But the Legislature, which, from
any fancied good anticipated by its shortsightedness, adds.
to this natural difficulty, and increases the pressure of the
-natural i'ant, allies itself to the 'powers of evil and dark-
ness, and becomes, by limiting the' 'supply of food, the
parent of vice and misery.
• In another part of The Sun we publish a short letter
from' that intelligent, patriotic, mid humane gentlemaU,
Mr. LIVkHEY, of Preston, who liar done much to
pro-
mote the cause of "truth and justice ; and we humbly
solicit the Members of "Parliament to read• that brief
communication before they. re-enact
.the now extinct
law for keeping food away from.the people. The Legis-
lature passes laws to 'take away and burn meat which
is offered for sale in an improper condition; but in this.,
case a cow which had died and been buried, was dug 'up
and , eaten, . hunger setting all laws at defiance.
Hunger makes a shipwrecked crew cannibals, and to a
condition little short of cannibalism, hunger, ordained
by law, is reducing our unhappy and degraded people.
Oh, but there is much danger to all classes from this.
Men judge of their own condition by those below as
Well as by those above them. The Prime Minister and,
his followers have sot the example of teaching the people
to be contented with privation' and misery, because as
he says, our people do not suffer quite so much as the
serfs in Russia and Poland. In accordance with his doe,
trines, and with much philosophy, the old song says--
Then never seem to mind it
Or think your fate a curse,
However bad you find it*
Still there is some one worse:

So those who get a bare sufficiency of bread or
potatoes, may console theniselvs that they can yet live,
and are not reduced to the terrible condition of digging
up a dead carcase to sustain life. 'Those who have yet
