nothing for appearance, and less for dress.
The latter he knew nothing about, it being

His Betty was absent from home once when
he started around on the circuit, leaving the
Judge to pack his clothes for the trip. He
did so; but instead Of finding his shirts he
seized on pile Of his wife's what-you call
'ems, used for like purpose. 80.
A learned brother, who roo med with him

less we are much mistaken, only find fretful
and peevish obstacle to his purposes.
The constituent elements Of the new admin
istration win, we apprehend, be taken primer
pally from the Peelite and radical parties, the
former of which has become almost as mnch
identified as the latter with the principle Of re-
form. The nomination of Lord Palmerston to
the premiership, in despite of the backstairs in
fluecce that has been brought to bear against
him, will be another triumph of this principle
"a concession to the indignant COM
against the results OF system which is fast
running the country, and which, from first
rate, has already reduced her to the rank Of .
second rate European power But, although in
compliance with present necessity, there will
probably be large infusion of democrats into
the ministry, the choice of these men win hold
out no assurance to the people against the re-
currence Of the evils which are now pressing
upon them. Such ministry will only answer
the demands Of the hour, aud will afford no
permanent guarantee against the consequences
of aristocratic venali.y and treachery.
The Truth is, that England has been brought
by her oligarchical sy stem t. pretty nearly the
same condition Of moral degradation as that
which led to the first revolution 10 France.
The union of church and State, the monopoly
of all the gifts and Offices in both, by the aris-
tocracy, and the consequent corruption, inefli-
cheney, and proiligacy which pervade ell
branches of the governing classes, are
now bearing their retributive fruits. As
long as there occurred no violent shock
to disloca.e this apparently harmonious
and well oiled political framework, it's
parts continued to work together without
much danger of disruption. 1t only needed
great convulsiOn, like the present, however, to
lay bare all it's defects and incongruities.
When England has greatest need of dexterous
and skilful statesmen, she finds only dwelling
senilitysor inexperienced red-tapeism at her
command-when she looks for leaders to place
at the head of her armies, her choice is re-
strained to military bureaucrats who have no.
thing but their aristocratic connexions to re.
commend them. What chance have capacities
like these, in rivalry with the vast administra-
tive and military talents of sovereigns like
Louis Napoleon and the Emperor Nicholas,
whose will is Jaw, and who embody all the
powers Of government in their own persons
The answer is to be found in the widely spread
conviction arc ased amongst the English people,
that the whole system Of their institutions is
rotten and must go by the board. If prompt
effect be given to this feeling, the honor Of
England may still be saved, and a new state of
things brought about in that country, for
which even the disasters of the Crimea will
not be too dear price to pay.
The New York herald. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1840-1920, 1855-02-19

yields nothing, knows of no compromise, will
hear Of no concession to the will Of others.
Her own narrow prejudice is the only law she
knows He cam OF, in descanting upon consti-
tutional law, explain in any Ineligible man
ner the theory Of popular government by ma
jorities, for that rests on the submission of the
minority; and the minority at Harvard do not
submit they rebel He must never touch on
that great cornerstone Of American prosperity,
the respect for established law which has en-
abled this country to thrive, under good and
bad, weak and strong governments during an
uninterrupted period of nearly eighty years;
for Harvard respects no law, however estao-
lished, that does not precisely coincide with
her own views. A strange performance and
otable will be these law lectures at Harvard.
Retaliation from the South is of course
be expected. Independently of the feel
ing which SO gross an attack on South
TN Institutions is sure to engender, the
men at the South who desire to give
heir sons liberal education will not send
hem to institutions where by precept and
example disobedience to the laws of the land
is inculcated. They may be as ready as others
TO admit imperfections in our Statute Book, and
as anxious to see them cured; but they win not
allow their young men to be taught that when
they dislike law they may openly deride and
violate it. The general admission Of such a
principle would in time put an end to all socie.
ty; and whatever progress Massachusetts, may
make toward that end, the South will have no
hand or part in the disgraeeful work.
We ought, perhaps, to exonerate the former
from responsibility for the acts Of Harvard
College. All experience teaches that college
men, like churchmen, are unsound guides in
matters Of politics? They live in world of
their OVID, and know little of any other. They
read Plato, but ignore Calhoun: recite Isocrates
but disown Jefferson; know all about the slaves
in Athens and Rome, but are quite unconscious
Of the working of the system Of slave labor in
Virginia: can tell off the laws Of the Twelve ia
bles on their fingers ends but have never read
the laws Of the United States: can solve the pro-
blems in Algebra, but cannot answer the sim
plest question Of modern politics. 1t is not rea-
sonable to expect these men to act wisely when
they travel beyond their sphere. Many
western farmer is q far better politician than
the professors Of Harvard: few settlers in the
backwoods Of Iowa or Minnesota would have
committed so great blunder as that which has
just disgraced the Alma Mater at Cambridge.

RE OPENING OF NIBLo's THEATRE-A New
STAR.-Among all the operate promises which
have been made-among all the attractions
heretofore offered to the public-we remember
none more tempting than that held out at the
most popular opera house in the city, Niblo's
Garden, tonight. This great attraction is
found in the person Of Gen. Sam Houston, an
Individual who has made his mark upon the
history Of the country, and may be considered
the great star Of the age. He will deliver one
Of his peculiar essays upon the manners, Gus
toms, history, religion, social habits, politics.
literature, history, philosophy, oratory, amuse-
ments and politics Of the Indians.
This event may be considered as the opening
Of the Preside initial canvass for the coming cam
paign. Although Gen. Houston will not speak
upon this subject, yet every man aid every
woman, (the General is said to be very popu-
lar with the ladies) who goes to Niblo's this
evening, will think Of hardly anything else,
and will mentally take Gen. Houston's measure
for the executive chair.
Gen. Houston has had most singular and
eventful life, and If he would, ct the end of his
lecture this evening, give chapter Of his per.

We publish elsewhere the opinions of the
Judges who have ordered new trial in the case
of Fry vs. Bennett. 1t will be noticed that
stress is laid in one OF two Of the judgments on
the erroneous admission of the evidence Of the
plaintiffs witness-St that the
Judges were unanimous in deciding that on this
ground alone the defendant was entitled to q
new trial. To prevent Misrepresentation we
may observe in this connection, that on exam.
lining the points on which anew trial is demand
ed, it is usual for Judges to stop at the first
point which, in their opinion, is fatal to the
former proceedings, and to proceed no further
with the other points urged. Thus in this case,
the inadmissibility of Strakosch's evidence be-
ing one Of the first points urged by the defend.
ants counsel, the Judges decided on that
ground, and paid but little attention to the
other points raised. Our counsel had taken
about fifty other exceptions to various procsed-
ipgs at the trial; most of which, we are advised,
would have been as fatal as the one relating to
the witness Strakosch. Many of these points
involved high and important questions Of law.
One objection raised was to the vindictive
damages awarded by the jury, on the ground
that no other than positive damages, or damages
equal to the loss actually sustained, can be
claimed in o civil suit, and that vindictive dam.
ages can only be properly awarded by crimi.
nal court on an indictment. This point seems
very plain and obvious. When q man
deems himself injured by the publication
of certain facts in newspaper, two
courses are open to him. He may pro-
coed criminally by indictment, in which case
the Court condemns the publisher, if convicted.
to such punishment as the law awards; or he
may sue civilly for damages, in which case, if
he succeeds, the jury will yard him such COM
pensation as may be deemed sufficient to make
up for the loss he has sustained through the
publication. Mr.. Fry, in the case Of Fry VS..
Bennett, attempted to blend these two proceed
ingS together, and sued civilly for damages,
not by way Of compensation, but as punish
ment to us for the wrong he said we had COM
mitted; and the jury granted him what he de-
manded.
1t is so important to obtain decision which
shall be final on this and some other high legal
points involved in the case, that we have not
yet determined whether or no we shall rest con-
tent with the judgment published elsewhere.
We are convinced that were we to carry the
case to the Court of Appeals, the result would
be completely to quash all proceedings hereto
fore had in the case; and for the interest of the
press, it would be well to take this opportunity
of taking the opinion of the highest legal au
tbority in the State on points involving nearly
the whole field covered by the law OF libel. II
is worth considering.

theirs would have been lowered upon ours.
We neither hope nor expect anything from
Mr.. Pierce and his Cabinet. But the Emperor
Napoleon is q man Of large experience and
practical mind. He will readily see, If be
gives his attention to the subject, that the re-
forms we have indicated would not only be
practically beneficial to his own subjects, bat
would exercise material influence on the tenn
per Of the American people towards France.
An equalization Of the tonnage dues is impera-
lively required BY sound policy and justice.
We have o right to expect it; and France can
not surely be loser by increasing the number
Of ships which visit her ports. The removal Of
the duties on raw cotton and salt beef and pork
would, in the first place. give wonderful
stimulus to the industry Of France. Men who
now starve or grovel as peasants in unproduc-
tive lands would turn operatives and the
wealth of France would be increased in proper
ton. The danger of such famines as that
which cost the State so much last year would
be diminished in proportion to the foreign food
imported, which could be laid down In Paris 30
cheap that every workman could have his pot
au feu. Finally, all the beef and cotton tsken
from us would be paid for In French wines and
silks. For these articles, there might be created
an inexhaustible demand here. No beverage Ia

vanced age incapacitates him from combining
in his own person the offices and duties of
Premier and Minister at War; bat unless
he can do this, or secure the services
Of some one in the latter Office on whose
energy, experience and 10y atty he can rely, it
is likely that bis administration will disappoint
the sanguine hopes that are formed of it. There
is only one English statesman that we know Of,
besides Lord Palmerston himself, who possesses
the necessary qualifications for that important
post, and that is Earl Grey; but there are con-
siderations which render it doubtful whether 1t
would be advisable to offer it to him in the pre-
tent emergency.
This gentleman, with natural talents and
attachments of the highest order, labors I'M
der one misfortune, which in England is very
great one-he never was at school In conse-
quence Of his lameness in infancy, he was edu-
Gated under the eye Of private tutor, dwell
ing within the walls of Howick Hall, the an
cestral mansion of the Gregg. The consequence
is, that while his mind has been richly stored,
his temper has remained so undisciplined that
whether in the Cabinet, in committees in Par
humVn', VI oh h"bi uShNu az QuhfttI
Sessions, every person who has had the misfor-
tune TO cone into collision with him has been
annoyed and harassed, not to say disguised,
by his Lordships cross, perverse, and crotchety
temper. This Is his only failing-his instincts
are noble, liberal, and in every way worthy Of
the high name he bears. He has always been
the consistent advocate Of political reforms
and although the views which he entertains re-
garding the present war are peculiar, he has
upon all occasions enforced the necessity of
prosecuting it vigorously when once entered
upon.
Such is the man to whom the London Times
points ss the probable colleague of Lord Pal.
merston. From what we have stated, the On
junction does not seem to be very favorable
or very likely one. Lord Palmerston IL he
accepts Office, will take IT with full under
standing that, as the popular voice has de-
volved upon him all the responsibility, 30
must he WELD oil the discretionary powers and
necessary control connected with the prosecu.
