HoT WEATHER IN THE ENaIlsH Couars.--
The London illustrated News of June 10th
says:
On the Lord Chief Baron taking his seat
in the Court OF Exchequer on Wednesday,
Mr.. Knowles, who was counsel in the Grst
cause on the list, applied to his Lordship for
permission to dispense with his wig during
this very hot weather. 1t would be q gre~s
convenience to him personally, and he I'M
derstood also to several OF his learned
friends, if the permission could be accorded.
The Lord Chief. Baron: Certainly, 10 per-
mancntly hot countries, where the English
law is administered, both the Judges and
Bar dispense with wigs. Mr.. Knowles: /
am afraid, my Lord, we cannt Gull this
permanently hot country, all we can say is
that il is excessively hot just at PRESENT.
The Lord Chief Baron; Ii you can say, Mr.
Knowles. that wearing your wig gives you
headache, or causes you serious inconve-
nlence---. Mr.. Knowles am afraid, my
Lord, cannot put it 90 high ms that, but
only ms matter Of Inconvenience. Perhaps
your Lordship will consult the other learned
Judges. The Lord Chief Baron: | certainly
might do that 10 the course oil the day
MIR. Sergeant Shes Perhaps the best thing
then 10 to dispense with our wigs now, and
your Lordship may, ct the close OF the day,
report the result Of your conference with
the other learned Judges. Mr.. Knowles,
however, took nothing by his motion, for
wigs, despite the intense heat, still continued
to be worn.

6 The prcgrsss made during the last ten years
on the Bank question furnishes ground Of
hope that the Democracy will soon come
roand on tho question Of protection to home
industry. Il viii be remembered that the
eiaase Of the Consultation Of our State pro-
hieiting their incorporation receive ed the unan
fmous vote Of the Democratic members Of
the Constitutional Convention, and was sup
ported BY IN almost unanimous vote of the
party throughout the State. For several
years after the adoption of the Constitution
the hard money clsuse was eulogised on the
stump and in the conventions by the Democ-
racy - the chief glory Of the Constitution.
Rscently, however, change commenced in
puslic continent, the people decided BY d
large majority in favor OF calling conven-
ton to amend the old pot~netal Constitu-
ton, and elected delegates who were almost
unapimously in favor Of banking. The Con-
stitution was framed BY Them and adopted by
he people, and now the people Of Iowa have
arsss va With bst few dissenting
