In anothi r column we have inserted by far the best
account that has yet appeared, of the dreadful calamity
which happened to the Comet steam-boat, for which
we ate indebted to the Adinburgh Evening Courant of
Monday last, the respectable Editor of which, on hear-
ing of the melancholy event, hastened to the spot, a
distance of upwards of sixty miles. The affecting
narrative will be read with deep interest.
The outcry which has u happily for many years
pervaled the land against the imperfections of the
High Court of Chancery, is once more uplifted by a
highly respectable Morning Paper, in such a tone as
to leave us in doubt whether to express our astonish.
ment at the temerity or the injustice o' its accusations.
That there are intolerable grievances in the technical
construction of the forms of proceeding in that Court,
cannot in candour be denied. Like the great hierarchy
of the Latin Church from which it originated, it has'
for ages gone on, multiplying rules and complexities of
pleading, as its ancient prototype did its forms and
ceremonies, until at last substantial Justice in the one,
and pure Religion in the other, is scarcely to be dug
out from under the load of supesincumbent rubbish.
Another remarkable parallel is manift st. In the Roman
Ecclesiastical edifice, from the Tiara to the Mendicant
Friar, every member of that vast establishment did and
does support and maintain the necessity of the minutest
ceremony with a pertinacity rising in proportion to the
insignificance of the object. In the Legal Hierarchy
there is, we fear, too much reason for charging they
whole body with a similar aversion to amendment ; as
it does not appear that they are aware of the magni-
tude of the present inconvenience, which is such, that if
no re t.edy is to be found, it were perhaps nearly as well,
in choosing the least of two evils, to abrogate and re-
construct in a more enlightened spirit oar Equitable
Jurisdiction altogether.
While we freely admit and deplore those imperfec-
tions in the Chancery as a system, we are bound at the
same time to observe, that there is neither the colour of
season nor justice, in imputing the existing evils, in any
degree, to the venerable Judge who presides over that
high Court.
But'the Journal to which we have alluded, put forth
on Saturday. a leading article in reference to that No-
bleman, conceived in a strain of such intense bitterness,
of such vehement invective, and of such surpassing
energy, that while viewing it merely as a literary com-
position, we confess the workings of a powerful mind
and masterly band ; we are, nevertheless, constrained to
cal, that so fierce a denunciation of wrath is characterised
by all the ferocity of the Satanic school, by the venom
