OF persons to practice MS attorneys in Ger.

great consequence in itself. i, affords another
notable instance of the love of this assem-
bly, for class Legislation. by this law, the
man who is in affluenced circumstance
enough to attend course Of lectures at a
law school and there obtain certificate OF
his fitness, is to be admitted to the bar, pro-
vided he has studied one year. The man
who has not the pecuniary means to attend
such a school, is left to study two years be.
fore he can be examined and passed, no mat

may be. The practical working uf this
measure will be to admit the rich mans son
to practice one year before the poor mans
while the latter may be better qualified than
the former, the day he receives the certif-

Peace In EurODe.

The last Steamer from Liverpool brings
tidings Of peace in Europe. The Congress
which met in Paris and which was compos.
cd ofdelegates from Russia, Turkey, Aus.
tria, England and France, after long discus.
sion, has agreed upon the terms ofa treaty
Of amity between the several governments,
and nothing now remains but the signing Of
that instrument By the parties.
Well may the people of the old world
rejoice. For two years past, Europe has
been the theatre Of one of the most desola.
ting and bloody wars which has ever disgrace
ed the world. No good has ever been done
By it. No great principle has been vindi-
Gated. No nation has been made free. No
government, made better. Nothing 80 far
as human eye can discover, has been accom-.
plished towards the general progress OF the
human race. Desolated homes, cities des.
troyed, treasures empty, are among the
monuncnts which this contest has left be-
hind. Neither party can claim the victory.
Russia is still unconqured. England and
France, while they have freely sacrifsed
men and money, are still powerful. Tur-
key however, has lost every thing, and it
now only remsins for the three great pow
ers to divide her territory as spoils among
themselves.
The toiling, painting millions Of Europe by
ahe strength of of whose arms. the govern
ments and rulers are sustained, are no near
or the goal Of freedom than they were be.
fere. They must wait longer yet. But we
believe there is time coming, when the
chains which the despotisms Of centuries
have wound around their victims, will be
broken. In what way, we cannot tell
Whether the monarchies will again 60 to
war with each other; or whether some great
leader and apostle Of liberty shall rise up
and call to his standard the oppressed of ev.
cry nation; or whether these despotisms
shall finally fall 10 pieces from the weight
o: their own corruptions ard Republics grow
out Of their ruins, it is impossible to forsee.
Etill,as we believe that each age Of the world
adds something to the aggregate knowledge
and advancement of the people, SO we be.
lieve that Democratic governments must in
the end be established on the continent.
England will in time, be crushed to death
by her public debt. France will not bear
the yoke Of IN Emperor long. Yet it may
be many years. before the patriots OF France,
England, Russia, Austria, Germany and Italy
can hope to relieve themselves from the yoke
Of servitude. En- the mean time, the COIN
non people musttoil on, or emigrate to some
better. country. Whata proud consolation
Il ID to know that our government offers a
home to the poor and down trodden of every
nation, language and people. Our territory
j = wide. Let them come and settle in the
valleys Of our glorious rivers; on the shores
Of our lskes; over the broad prairies Of the
Crest West, and enjoy the blessings which
the National Constitution confers upon, and
secures to the American people.

Almost every French and English nswspa-
per, and indeed some Of the American Jour-
nails are foil TO to the brim with minute and
glowing accounts Of the great u event.
The child is styled king Of Algieu. The
chances, however, are ten to one that be nev-
or wears a crown.
We believe il 10 fact Of history, that for
the last two hundred years, not a single
King or Emperor Of France has ever been
succeeded BY son. AN of them have died
before reaching the throne, and most Of them
BY the hand of violence. Poison, assassina-
ton, the dungeon and the rsckhave done their
work. Louis XVI was beheaded and his heir
died in prison. The son Of Louis Philips
was killed by fail from a carriage. The
son Of Napoleon / died in Austria. Those who
have filled the throne, have suffered death
on the scafold, or in exile. A few years
ago, the present Emperor Of France was a
new York rowdy, without either money or
credit. At an other time he was police
constable in London. Since then he has
been first President and is now Emperor oi
France and Dictator to the Monsrchs oi
Europe.
His rise has been rapid and startling as q
thundershock to the nations Of the old world.
We should not be surprised if his fall from
power, would be as swift and terrible has his
advancement been rapid and brilliant. The
French people are proverbally tickle. They
cannot remain under any one form Of Gov.
ernment any great length Of time. Their
present ruler is no better than usurper and
although thousands of voices to-day, echo
his praises, still the phreDzy Of to morrow
may hurl him from his throne.

and bonfises lighted all over England, ir
