PUBLIC OPINION.

We quote the following from the Morning Post :
" Some of our Contemporaries, who, without proper
knowledge or consideration, allowed themselves to be
betrayed into violent and rather silly expressions of
opinion on the course pursued by the Governor of
Canada, are beginning to atone for, though not. to ac-
knowledge, the error they committed. We are glad
to perceive the salutary effects of second thoughts'
on the ruminations of the Times, which journal thinks
it worth while to reproduce, in a new verbal dress, the
remarks we ourselves made several days ago. Our
Contemporary is welcome to avail himself of the bene-
fit of our researches. We always rejoice at symptoms
of returning reason, and when this influential jour-
nalist comes forward to second our demand for a fair
hearing of the motives and policy of Sir Charles
Bagot, we know that the cause of truth has enlisted
a very powerful supporter, and are well pleased ac-
cordingly."
The Herald, speaking of the break-up of a Joint-
stock Company, entitled the British American Asso-
ciation, says :—" When the ease of the AssociatiOn's
dupes was first brought before the Lord Mayor its
attorney assured that Magistrate that the Association
was the Duke of Argyll's own child; his Grace it ap-
pears repudiates the honour of any such paternity,
though he admits being its patron, has attended meet-
ings of its Directors, and has subscribed towards its
funds. The Duke is now desirous of withdrawing
his name from the roll of subscribers or Shareholders,
as they are called,' and certainly does not consider
himself responsible for any of the pecuniary transac-
tions of the parties in London who assume the
managerrient of the Company's affairs at present.'
With great submission to so highly respectable a
nobleman as the Duke of Argyll we suggest that his
Grace is bound to see that the use
.which he has per-
mitted others to make of his name and patronage has
not injured many of his countrymen, and if it have, to
take care that they are indemnified. Responsibility
cannot be got rid of, quite so easily as his Grace
seems to suppose; it is not what the Noble Mike'
considers, but what the law will determine, that will
regulate his liability. The parties in London who
assume the management of the Company's affairs at
present' may be great rogues, but their roguery
does not divest their patrons, vice-patrons, - presidents,
vice-presidents, and honorary directors of responsi-
bility."

Tile following is from the Times :—" The Six
Clerks'-office in the Court of Chancery has for many
years past been the great and accumulating grievance
of the English judicature. Its principle is, and long
has been, simply this—pay, and no work. Nominal
services performed to the suitor, without any sort of
benefit resulting from them, or any sort of reason
why he should make use of them, except that ita lex
scripta fuit, constituted each of the six clerks (if eve
except only his one single point of real utility., viz.
his taxing of costs) as complete a sinecurist, with all
his subordinate functionaries, as if every suitor in
court had been bound to pay him and diem 101. a
piece, without more. Such being the case, the busi-
ness in the Court of Chancery, has within the last fifty,
nay, within the last ten years, owing to the growing
commerce of the country, the complicated nature of
commercial accounts and affairs, and the convenient
adaptation of equity jurisprudence to meet this com-
plex system, increased beyond calculation ; and with
that increase the attendant abuse has, of course, in-
creased also in proportion. It is not, therefore, without
disappointment--we had almost said indignation—
that we have at length witnessed the abolition of the
office, and the preservation of its principle—the no-
minal destruction of the system, and the aggravation
(absolutely the aggravation) of the abuse. There are,
it is true, some minor improvements ; but they are
duly compensated by the infliction of greater evils."
