success. The people, properly so called, were dis-
appointed, and hence the fearful conflict that took
place in the streets the following June. Like all
successful movements of power against the mob,
the success of the republic (as it is ludicrously called)
against the people was the signal for the most
odious despotism; for it is a fact unfortunate and
undeniable, that Ferdinand of Naples does not
exercise a greater tyranny than the government of
Louis Napoleon. Newspapers have been seized
and extinguished—the penalty of death for politi-
cal offences (prudently abolished by the provisional
government) has been renewed. Transportation to
the deadly Marquesas has been invented, and to
top the climax it is an indictable offence to cry
" Vive la Republique 1"

Denmark for twenty years, ending 1846; and it appears
from them that the average number of causes brought
before the reconcilement courts was 25,500 yearly ; that of
these 17,600 were at once settled through the advice of
the court, voluntarily followed by the parties ; that only
7,500 were left to the courts of law, and only 2,400, or less
than a tenth of the whole, brought to trill. But Ido not
rely on any statistics, how accurately soever given.
what must of necessity be the consequence of parties ap-
pearing before a respectable and wholly disinterested ad-
viser, in the person of the local judge, appearing without
any lawyer or attorney, and hearing the opinion of that
judge on their own statements ? What, but that all, or
almost all hopeless suits will be stopped, and all, or almost
all groundless Wefences abandoned ? Unless human nature
is different in England and in other countries this must
needs be. One reason for approving of local courts, and
of parties being made competent witnesses, rests mainly
oa the facilities thus given to honest plaintiffs and con-
scientious defendants—the obstruction thus offered to
parties of an opposite character. Then is not arbitration
and reconilement the carrying of this blessed principle to
its fullest extent ?

'Tis treason to love it, and death to defend ;

Against this project the chief objection we have heard
urged is that it would be solely used by the parties
as an indirect mode of obtaining a legal opinion
upon the state of the case, and that, in fact, if the
judge decided wrongly on the summons for recon-
cilement a wrong decision must also be given in
the court, as he could not, in judging on the same
premises, stultify himself. Whatever may be the
final opinion of the public, however, on the subject,
it is clear, from other portions of Lord Brougham's
letter, that he apprehends in this, as in other law

while at the game moment, in a country where
'royalty is formally abolished, it is taken as a service
to the "cause of order" for soldier or citizen to
cry " Vive l'Empereur !" In the meantime trade
and commerce are suffering as might be expected
under a regime like this, and from Pius the Ninth,
on his rickety throne, to the most ragged proletaire
who drinks vine la guillotine, every man waits in
the expectation of another political earthquake in
the year that we are fast approaching.
In the meantime the extreme short-sightedness
of those who fancy they have the rule in France,
prompts them to look for candidates for the presi-
dentship amongst the old familiar names of the
Orleans faction. There is nothing more remark-
able than the tameness with which what is called
the republic submitted to the leadership of men to
whose counsels they attributed the evils that caused
the expulsion of the dynasty of 1830. To read of
the present state of French politics, one would
fancy it was 1841 instead of 1851, for the old
"standing dishes" of the deputies are still leaders
of the assembly, and France seems quietly sub-
mitting to the intrigues of such people as Thiers,
la poupee, on one side, and Guizot, "the man of
Ghent," upon the other. For all the apparent in-
dependence of judgment that has been obtained,
the revolution of 1848 might as well have ended
like that of Smith O'Brien, in a cabbage garden.
The hopes of the Orleanists are now placed upon
an event, the occurrence of which they ought to
know is hopeless—the election of the Prince de
Joinville to the presidency, and suspiciously enough
the chief partisan of this candidateship is the
Duchess of Orleans, whose hopes of the throne ,
for her son the Count de Paris are matter of noto-
riety. The " game" of the Orleanists is quite clear.
Let but Joinville get four years of the presidency,
and a chance of exercising his father's arts, and the
Count de Paris will be then of age. A quiet elec-
tion, a bloodless restoration, a coup d'etat is looked
on as sufficient to do the rest. In the meantime
the family at Claremont are disposed to adopt what
Charles I. called "other counsels." Guizot hae
had a reception which will not tend to bring him
back quickly to the refuge of royalty. The family
do not in fact think that he has done so much for
them that his advice is of any further use, and they
are certain that his popularity will not advance the
election. That grievously overrated man is at last
finding his level. With a pretence of high princi-
ple, he nevertheless agreed in all the self-aggrandi-
sing projects of Louis Philippe, and with a solemn
show of sagacity he yet could not see the storm
till it burst. The author of the famous quibble !
in the Spanish marriages that "the queen could
be married first"—meaning at an interval of five
minutes—had not even the praise of principle to
carry off what the French were fond of calling his
" bilious Calvinism " The last chance of his
further notoriety is gone by the defection of the
coterie of Claremont. Exit Guizot.

Chancellor has already shown.

" Sheweth,
"That your memorialists represent nearTy fifteen hundred
trade men, receiving the certificate enabling them to carry on
their business from, and specially placed under the control of
your worships ; that thii large body of persons hare invested
an amount of capital in their trade which; on a very moderate
computation, would reach two millions sterling; and that, as a
class, they are governed by more stringent laws, and subjected
to a more annoying surveillance, than any other portion of the
trading. community. _

Although not exactly commercial law, the law
of Chancery is, unfortunately, only too interesting
to all engaged in commerce. In that department
Lord Brougham proposes a thorough reform.

"No structural change," he says, " will meet the evil
universally complained of. A functi,mal change is abso-
lutely necessary. The judges in Chancery, like the judges
at common law, must work out their own decrees, and not
send two-thirds and three-fourths of their business to be
done by the masters. You must make more puisne judges
in Chancery, and get rid of the Master's Office entirely,
those judges now sitting in courts, now in chambers, as
do the other judges of the superior courts. The abolition
of the separation between proceedings in equity and at law
—what is termed the fusion of the twor—must come next ;
but the important change I have adverted to is necessary
at all events ; it will both pave the way for the ultimate
and complete improvement, and it will be as necessary
when that consummation is brought about as it is in the
present state of things."

"That your memorialists would most respectfully call your
attention to the transfers which have taken place since the last

EVERTON AND KTRRDALE WARD,
Mr. DODD, solicitor, applied on behalf of M
Anders, for a license to a house in Prince Edwin-street
at the corner of Beresford-street. In urging the appli-
cation, Mr. Dodd said that Mr. Anders had formerly been
connected with the police force of this town, and by hie
excellent Conduct had raised himself to the post
intendent. His increasing attention to the (lair..
office, he having, during a portion of the time

Then, as to the eligibility of the house, it was close to the

densely populated that, independently of the market and

CLEANING ST. JOHN'S MARKET.—Some five Or six
men are busily engaged in whitewashing St. John's Mar-
ket. From their daily progress it will probably take some
months to complete what might be done in as many
weeks. The painting, which will be proceeded with after-
wards, will probably occupy a like time, much to the
annoyance of all parties engaged in supplying the public.
On Saturday night, William Brooking, 58 years old, a
piano-forte tuner, formerly residing at 5 Court, Lambert-
street, retired to bed about twelve o'clock. On the fol-
lowing morning he was found dead. The deceased was a
man addicted to drink, and after so indulging complained
of pains at his chest. At the inquest, yesterday, the jury
returned a verdict that the deceased had died from the
effect of excessive drinking.
EXTRAORDINARY DESPATCH.—On Friday morning
last, the screw steamer Gannet arrived here from Rotter-
dam, and went into the Nelson Dock. In the course of
the day she discharged upwards of 500 tons of goods, and
on the day following commenced taking in cargo outwards.
TPis was completed and the vessel cleared for sea again at
four o'clock on Saturday afternoon—a❑ instance of unusual
despatch.

The struggle for the Presidency then will proba-
bly be between Louis Napoleon and a candidate of
the red. Cavaignac will doubtless keep his promise
when he opposed the revision of the constitution,
and everything points to the probability of his
success. If this should be, then the Papal Court
will not have appealed to Austria an hour too soon,
and the anticipations of Pius will be fully fulfilled.
The coming struggle will be a desperate trial of the
strength of the priests. At the last election even
miracles were not spared to gain the cause of Louis
Napoleon, that he might be a locum .tenens of the
Count de Chambord, and surely less cannot now
be done for him who sent troops to keep the Roman
people from flinging infallibility into the Tiber.
No election of the Emperors of old was half so
important as the coming French election of 1852.

On Sunday morning, at one o'clock, Eliza Welch, the
wife of John Welch, a fisherman. in Richmond Fair, Fox-
street, retired to bed with her husband, taking with her
an infant four months old. She placed the child on her
arm to give it the breast, and about eight or nine o'clock
in the ►norning the child was found dead. An inquest

For the last eight years had applications been made for a li-

THE WEATHER.—During the past week the weather,
though somewhat cold, has been sufficiently dry to allow
the harvest operations to be completed. Tile boats from
Cheshire on Saturday, as well as the country carts, were
loaded with garden products for the markets. Everything
was cheap and excellent. Hothouse fruits are rather
more scarce, particularly in good grapes and pines.
Peaches and nectarines which were very fine sold at 3s. to
4s. per dozen. Many beautiful flawers were exhibited;
some stands of prize dahlias grown by Mr. Chas. Rylance
attracted much admiration.
On Saturday last, Richard Porter, a child three-and-a-
half years old, the son of Richard Porter, a shoemaker,
residing in No. 5 Terrace, Tarlton-street, Everton, went
out to play, and shortly returned, and complained of being
unwell. He died in little more than an hour afterwards.
The coroner, in consequence of the deceased being in a
burial club,ordered a post mortem examination to be made.
Mr. George Kemp, the surgeon who made the examine-
tionestated that he found the cause of death to be con-
gestion of the lungs, the result of natural causes. The
jury returned a verdict in accordance with this testimony.
THE HARVEST.—Great progress has been made in
West Lancashire, within the last few days, in the cutting
and housing of corn ; a great deal of wheat has been got,
in first-rate condition, and a few more days of the present
beautiful weather would [:ring harvest operations to a
close. Many parties are busily engaged with second
crops of clover, which is generally a good crop. Potatoes
have changed much for the worse since our last ; as an
instance, we saw, on Thursday, a crop of kemps, in ridges,
got up (amongst which, a fortnight since, scarcely an
unsound one could be found), with, at least, one-third of
them diseased. The land upon which they are grown is of
a light sandy description. There is every prospect of the
disease being quite as destructive this year as in any former
one since its commencement.
DEATH UNDER SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES.—On
Wednesday last a dispute took place between Margaret
Hughes, residing at No. 10 Court, Clayton-street, and
two young girls, sisters, named Emma and Ellen Power,
residing in the same court, respecting the right. of use to
a clothes line. Elizabeth Hughes, aged 27 years, the
daughter of Margaret Hughes, advised her mother to come
into the house, for doing which the two Powells made use
of threatening language towards her. In the evening
Elizabeth Hughes went out of the house to go on an errand
when she was attacked by the Powells, and severely
beaten ; she was bitten upon the arm and the hair was
to: from her head, and she was dragged along the ground.
Oa the Saturday night following the deceased complained
of her head being bad, and continued to do so until Sun-
day morning, when she died.—An inquest was held on the
body yesterday, when Mr. Henry Emett, the surgeon
alio made a post mortern examination, stated that the
deceased had not any marks of violence on her person.
He found the cause of death to be apoplexy, purely the
result of natural causes. The jury returned a verdict of
natural causes by the visitation of God.
A YOUNG AFRICAN PRINCE IN LIVERPOOL.--We had
yesterday a pleasing interview with a remarkably intelli-
gent boy, five and a half years old, named Thomas Canray
Caulker, son of Canraybah Caulker, King of Bompey,
Sherbro country, west coast of Africa. The little fellow
arrived in this town on Saturday, and has been brought
to this country, to be educated, by his guardian, Captain
Edultus Swinton, of the Adeline, of Newcastle. He evi-
dently possesses considerable discernment, and his man.
ners are gentle and affectionate. He is extremely tract-
able, but manifests occasionally the spirited conduct which
may be expected from a youth of royal blood. He wears
on his left wrist a silver badge of royalty, being a collar of
about an inch and a half in width, with the figure of an
elephant beautifully carved upon ir. Of course the infant
prince can not as vet speak English, but when his educa-
tion is matured, and he returns to his native country, we
anticipate the greatest advantages to that interesting
quarter from thesulture he will have received and the habit.
lie will have acquired during his residence here. '!'he
kingdom over which his father exercises sway adjoins our
colony of Sierra Leone, and the king has done all in his
power to suppress the slave trade, and to further the pro-
gress of civilisation throughout his dominions. We hope
that the benevolent intentions of Captain Swinton will be

all character, and the applications made were, for the
most part, by private individuals for a private enterprise,
for licenses in great numbers. Cases were no sooner
granted than they were transferred to make a profit by
them.

LORD BROUGHAM, whose energy and industry in

Lord Denman on the legislation of last session.
The great and salutary alterations in our commer-

in his letter, with an interest almost equal to per-
sonal, and a determination which promises much

Mr. ADAII lIODGSON.—The magistrates do not treat
with any great consideration the opposition of a neigh-
bour. It is not the individual interest of any one that
guides the magistrate.; in their decision ; and it cannot be
too generally or publicly kpown that the opposition from
another publican in the neighbourhood would have very
little consideration.

session Lord Brougham justly praises the Patent
Law Amendment Act as a great improvement, and
the bill giving to the County Court judges the

power of arresting debtors about to abscond from
the district. The bill for improving criminal pro-
cedure will happily remove objections which have
hitherto excited in the mind of the public consider-
able
prejudice against, if not even contempt for, the
tribunals, namely, the facility of criminals escaping
on a mere technical point. By this bill all those
variations or description, &c., hitherto considered
fatal, may be amended in the court, and thus we
shall have no more acquittals on a mere question
of mistake of names. We still want, however, the
third verdict, which is permitted by the law of
Scotland—that of " Not proyen"—for many a juror
acquits for want of evidence, though he has no
moral doubt of guilt. But a second part of this
act is still more necessary, owing to the recent
alterations of the law permitting parties to swear in
their own cause. All judges of County Courts and
other tribunals may now order a
_witness' into cus-
tody and direct that he be indicted for ,perjury--a
provision of.the necessity of which no one could for
a moment doubt, who stood half-an-hour in a
County Court and heard the tlat contradictions
upon oath that are perpetually passing there.
Lord Brougham laments the loss of his clauses
for creating Courts of Reconcilement as they exist
in Denmark. We quote his lordship's account of
those courts, that our readers may consider how far,
next session, the house should he pressed by peti-
tions to adopt them :-
'•
My firm belief is, that facilitating the wide and volun-
tary termination of suits by those kinds of procedure,
would be a blessing to the community, compared with
which all our other reforms, whether of the equity or com-
mon lam courts, sink into insignificance. I positively
think that such an arrangement as the bill proposed, and
the law as well as lay had (Ejected—that of giving the
county court judges full power as arbitrators, and also as
judges of reconcilement—would do more to prevent injus-
tice and oppression, more to destroy professional chicanery
and extortion, more to diffuse, through all society, the
blessings of security and peace, than any scheme that ever
was decreed for accelerating the progress of social im-
provement. J have now before me the official returns in

of undoubted reputation, having lived as servant for a

favour of it.
Mr. HODGSON.—Have you any intimation
Rev. Rector Brooks to that effect ?

Mr. GREATLEY.—No, sir, I have not; but the appli-
cant declares to me that such is the fact.

such circumstances, would not he responsible ; and if any
recommendation were to be received from him, it should

Mr. GREATLEY said; that as to the necessity of a
licensed house in the district, the memorial would explain
itself; there was only one public-house within the distance
of half or three quarters of a mile. _ _

Mr. Wm. .Archer applied for a license for a house in
Bootle-lane, corner of Barlow•lane, on the ground that the
house had been built for the express purpose of accommo•
dating the car and omnibus horses, and for the conve-
nience of persons travelling by those conveyances, and the
public generally.

IZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—TIIC continued and diversified

large and gratified audiences.. But a few weeks will
elapse ere the gardens close, and we would advise those
who have not yet visited them to avail themselves of the
opportunity. The vaudevilles and farces produced are of
the'highest order, and they are put on the stage in metro-
politan style. On Monday next. Mr. E. Atkins, the ma -
nager, takes his benefit, when, from the strength of the
bill, and the high opinion in which he is held, we doubt
not that the attendance will be great and respectable.
