PALMERSTON. A  Secretaryship of State and the leadership of the Common, are stared as the bidding. of bankrupt Toryism for a men of talent and experience.

Through. out the idle summer and the lazy autumn the empty Cabinet has rumbled on, and yet it is ready to break down at the first rut in the winter's road, if some old hand " who kens and can " will tot mercifully mount the box and take the reins. Even Mr. DISRAELI'S particular admirers say that "it cannot be expected he should do everything ;" and they add, in • piteous under tone, that "there is nobody else who can do anything.' And besides, the great soul of the great conjurer has been all this time devoted to finance: and look at the result! Free-trade had well nigh beggared this unfortunate empire, when, one flue; morning in the month of March last, the Right Honourable BENJANLN took his seat at the Exchequer. What an altered empire see we now ! The funds fluctuate between a little over and • little under par; the harvest has been abundant; manufactures thrive; even some of his friend Mr. HUDSON'S railway promises occasionally look as if they would be realised: and cabinet colleagues after dinner declare that there is nothing further caa possibly be does to heron the condition of the lend except whet the ilamers ought to do themeelve.

JUSTICE AT HAMBURG.  A respected correspondent says:—" The following incident may serve as a fresh illustration of a truth which must of late have become pretty evident to most minds— namely, that legal impartiality, equity, and integrity, are virtues which do nut thrive in the atmosphere of modern European republics. Early in the present year a failure occurred at Hamburg, which created the greatest surprise and sensation among the commercial world of that city. The bankrupt was Josue de Lemon, who, for a period extending over 90 years, had occupied p high mercantile position as or.e of the first and most enterprising brokers on the tobacco exchange. It appears that owing to a long succession of losses and misfortunes, he had been betrayed into resorting first to dishonourable, ..4 then IC seinstosal retnens of se-adjusting his entangled affairs, and when, at leased', exposure became Inevitable, the unfortunate mass attempted suicide, but was, however, rescued. He was at once imprisoned, and, after an investigation, which lingered on during seven months, has just been condemned to five years in the House of Correction with hard labour, without being permitted, in spite of the most earnest entrecties, to obtain legal advice or to make any defence whatever; and this for no other reason than that such was the will and pleasure of the judicial authorities, upon whom caprice it depends whether an accused person shall be allowed a chance of vindicating himself, of shall be imprisoned, tried, and condemned unheard. Thus, a man on the verge of old age, who has hitherto enjoyed the consideration of his fellow-citizens, and who might have been able us plead much that would have palliated his guilt, is cast amongst the most abandoned criminals, and his name, and that of his children, branded with ignominy, without even the possibility being placed within his reach of urging anything upon the ears of his judges which could tended to mitigate his fate. To make the matter worse, according to a rumour afloat, it would seem that had De Lemon been suffered to make a defence, the fair fame of • certain mercantile house of the highest standing would have been dangerously compromised, asl transactions would have come to light which could have reflected no honour on some of those who have been among the foremost in casting the first stone at the unhappy bankrupt. Those whose privilege it is to live under the equitable and generous institutions of the English law cannot but feel indignant at traits of glaring injustice like the above ; and sorrowful is it to reflect that, uutil,themach-profanett words liberty and equality shall be more truly interpreted in the judicial courts of our foreign neighbours, many a similar heavy wrong will yes be committed, and many a heart broken."
