Long, however, before his accession to the Crown of Hanover, the King had succeeded in living down" calumny and this without deviating in the slightest degree from the straight line that he had from the first marked out for himself. He firmly opposed the bill of 1820 and distinctly, though without passion, denounced the minis of the Right, are profoundly grieved at the debat and division of last evening. They say that th majority ia broken up, that parties have lost their distinctiveness and cohesion, and no one can tell for the future what the Assembly may or may not do. For the proposition of tiie questora there voted the Legitimists en masse, with such leading Orleanists as the Due de Broglie, M. Thiers, Count Mole, M.

Piscatory, M. Cnambolle, and such moderate Republicans as General Cavaignac, General Lamoriciere, General Bedeau, M. Dufnure, M. de Beaumont, and M. de and yet a proposition backed by such high names was rejected.

The Red Republican voted against the proposition, because, as M. put it, the motion would, if carried, become the first step to an impeachment of the President of the Republic, on account of his conversion to universal suffrage, or as M. Michel de Burges said, because the framers of the law of the 31st of May wanted an army to defend it. In fact the thorough Reputflioans believed that if their adversaries carried their measure they would employ th! army not only against Louis Napoleon, ba(i more likely to approach the bankrupt Government of Austria as an importunate creditor than a liberal lender. We do not affect to be able to foresee the end but we fear that it must be unfortunate, and tbat they who have encouraged Austria in her late proceedings have laid up a stock of bitter repentance.

An Englishman's liberty is guarded round by securities, the moral effect of which is so great that they are seldom observed in actual operation. A writ of habeas corpus is doubtless no uncommon phenomena even in these days, but it is only used for purposes of technical convenience. We read of no applicants who have been languishing for an indefinite period in prison on some unintelligible charge. If, however, no such process were known to the law, would there be the same absence of indefinite and unlawful imprisonment A thing may be in the highest degree useful and efficient, though, paradoxical as it may appear, it never really comes into operation just as many a house has been protected from outrage by a loaded blunderbuss, though the charge has slept quietly in the barrel for a long series of years, and possibly may never be used after all. This is what a reformer of the modern school can never understand.

Unless the neighbours are startled by the sound of the blunderbuss three or four times every night, he would consider it an useless and unnecessary incumbrance. It is in this spirit that the usefulness of numerous parts of our legal system is denied, simply because their very usefulness creates a security to freedom which prevents their exercise. A superficial observer Bees a great deal of unnecessary pains taken about putting a man upon his trial for a crime. The case has been thoroughly investigated before the magistrate, savs the reformer, why The death of this venerable and excellent Monarch took place yesterday morning in his palace at Herrenhausen, in the 81st year of his age, and the 14th of his reign. His Majesty Ernest Augustus (formerly Duke of Cumberland) was the last surviving son of King George the Third, and uncle of our most gracious Queen, Victoria.

The following telegraphic official announcement of the King's decease was received by the French government yesterday 1 HANOVER, Nov. 18, Half-past 11 o'Clock, a.m. The Minister of France to the Minister fob Foreign Affairs. The King died this morning at a quarter to seven o'clock." (From the Morning Post.) To survive prejudice and live down calumny, to be denounced as a tyrant abroad, and to be respected aa the most truly constitutional Sovereign by his people are contrarieties that seldom fall to the lot of either man or monarch. Yet such has been the fate of Ernest King of Hanover, whose earthly career was brought to a close in his palace at Herrenhausen at an early hour yesterday morning.

It nay fairly be questioned whether the decease of any ruler now living (with the exception of our own beloved Qaeen) wonld he received with more sincere manifestations of regret than the announcement of King Ernest's death by the people of Hanover. Alone, of all the potentates of Germany, he has Increased th privileges of the pople over wham lie reigned, without detriment to order or damage to wholesome authority; and with a gratitude unusual in Do. 1848, 3 per Ct, MINES.

Well do we remember his Royal Highness's declaration upon that occasion. For me," said he, to Lord Eldon, I will act, as I believe my sainted father would wish me to act, and that is, to oppose to the utmost the dangerous measure, and to withdraw all confidence from the dangerous men who are forcing it through Parliament. How my father would act were he again on the throne, and in possession of all his powers, you and Lord Eldon, know well he would kick them out of bis Cabinet with a notice tbat not one of them need ever think of coming back."

The Constitutionnel sings the following song of tbreatenad in every state of the Continent, the throne of derful country brings tlie account of fresh discoveries of its mineral riches, and by the present arrival we have not only the announcement of the discovery of an immense vein of auriferous quartz that has been traced from 20 to 30 miles, but also of silver mines of extraordinary richness. The prospects of the "diggers" are most encouraging, and they are only waiting for the rains to enable them to separate the gold from tbe alluvium for an immense return to be realised. The working of the quartz veins by the companies located, with most imperfect machinery, had been attended with a degree of success that had exceeded their most sanguine expectations. As a fa Bample of the superior class of machinery at present employed in the extraction of the gold from the quartz, we raav instance that belonging to a company of seven persons, and which consisted of an old boat engine to a rude contrivance of ropes and pulleys, sever! large Hanover alone remained unshaken, under its honoured and venerable occupant. Bill and the New Poor-law Bill, as measures of The decead prince the fifth and last sarviving son of this unmeaning bustle before the grand jury Their functions are wholly unnecessary, cries the journalist and such a class of grand jurors as the metropolis furnishes, misled by the plausible cry and not particularly fond of trouble, have more than once expressed a belief in their own uselessness.

The County Court Act has virtually abolished trial by jury, though it has avoided the appearance of doing so by the subtle provision that the parties may at theit option have their cause tried by a jury. Now, observe how this itorge tbe ihir was born at flew on the 6th of June, 1771. His early days were spent at ths place which gave him birth, and his first prccep'ora were Mr. Cookson and Dr. Hughes.

The returns from that rude method of extraction, if extraction it can be called, when about two-thirds of the gold remains in the matrix, had been very large in fact, so profitable has it been, that a gentleman is at present in England, selecting expensive machinery for the purpose of working their gold hill more effectually.

His then Royal Hizhnesa, in 1790, entered the army, and served ia the 9th Hmoverian Light Dragoons from that period nntil 1793, when he obtained the command of the regiment.

Daring the whole of the following year he served and took an eetire part in the war which then raged on the European continent. In tbe command of the Is' Brigade of Csvalry.in charge of the outposts of Marshal Walmoden's army, Royal Highnesi gave several proofs of bis gallantry in the field; and during a rencontre near Tonrnsy he lost an eye and was wounded in in spite of these fortunes of war," such was his enterprise, and to great hH ardour, that when only partially recovered, be in the November of the same year, within a few months after the occurrence of the casualties mentioned, to rejoin his regiment, and to share in the toils and the dangers as well as tb glories of war. His Royat Highness took part in the sortie from Nimeguen, and afterwards commanded tbe rear guard of the British forces in the retreat through Holland a post of great importance and difficulty. The year 1796 saw his Riyal Hichnes return to Eogland, wh re he remained until April, 1799, when be was created Duke of Cumberland, Earl of Armagh, and Duke of Teviotdale, with a parliamentary grant of 12,000. per annum.

At this time he was appointed to command the British cavalry in the unfortunate Helder expedition, but, in enntequanoe of its early failure, that branch of the force sent out did not disembark. In 1801 the deceased was appointed colonel of the 15th Hussars, and invested with the command of the Sevarn district, from which he subsequently removed to the South Western district, residing at Winchester until 1807. In the latter end of that year be went abroad and joined the Prussian army, then engaged in the great struggle against the encroaching power of Napoleon. His Royal Highness took part in several important engagements fought about thin period, and on the defeat of the French by the allied forces, his Royal Highness proceeded to Hanover, aud took possession of that kingdom on behalf of the English crown.

At an early hour yesterday morning the King of Hanover expired at his palace of Herrenhausen, in his eighty-first year, his Majesty having been born on the 6th of June, 1771.

The deceased Sovereign, more familiarly known by his countrymen as Duke of Cumberland, and dearly loved by all of them whose love was worth possessing, was the last surviving son of George the Third, and of all his Bens the prince who in character and principles most nearly resembled that wisest and best of our monarchs, and, while the King lived ...1 i Una th a an woo re rosea support now come forward in its favour; tn pretenders and the princely candidates, who wereabont offer themsalves, now refuse.

TliU article is conformable to the provisions'of Articlts and Gl of the Civil Code. spoliation, with a more indignant energy. In a word, he from first to last adhered to the one rule to act as he believed his sainted father would wish him to act." The King's reign of 13 years in Hanover was one continued triumph of the principles of kind and good government. In all the tumults of Germany and of the European Continent generally during the last three years, Hanover alone remained unmoved, and it is said, we believe with truth, that the influence of the King of Hanover's example, extending widely beyond the limits of his own territory, saved the whole of North Germany from a Socialist revolution. We have borrowed from a respected contemporary a short biographical detail of thisgood and gallant Prince's life.

Our contemporary has, however, omitted one romantic incident of the King's early military career, that ought not to be forgotten. In a skirmish at Nimuegen, the King, the Prince Ernest, having broken his sabre in the fight, was assailed by a French dragoon, who aimed a furious blow at the Prince's head. Priuce Ernest parried the blow with the fragment of his blade," th iew his arms round the body of his assailant, lifted him from his horse for Prince Ernest, like all his brothers, was a man of groat personal strength and carried him a prisoner to the British quarters. For the rest, we refer to the notice of our contemporary. A garter, and the Chancellorship of the University of Dublin, become vacant by the King's death.

The Anstrian Government has, to use a common phrase, almost literally applicable in the case, got among the bears." The Austrian bank noteB have, it seems, declined to a discount of some six shillings in the pound, that is, an Austrian note, the nominal value of which is will avail outside of the Austrian limits for no more than 14s. Of course, all who have foreign transactions all who are dependant upon those who have foreign transactions, and all connected with them, that is, nearly the whole in the same predicament every man's note of ten florins has melted down in value to seven florins and from means thus reduced Austria has to pay enormous debts, and to support exorbitant military establishments. The expedients resolved upon by the wise Government of Vienna to get out of its perplexity are characteristic; they are thus described by the Times, which, now that the oppressor of Hungary has begun to tamper with Share Market," seems to have lost much of its admiration for Austrian policy After various mattering! and warnings, last Monday week M.de Weiss, with a commissary of police and a posaee of policemen, went to the Exchange, and took note of the brokers, inspected their books, and made oat a list of those who appeared to them to be 1 bearing the mwktt. We presume they marked their men effectually, for at the last date a considerable section of the mercantile or specula-live world had received notice to quit, and vert actually on their road to the frontier. The movement was not wholly without the desired result, for bank notes, ai indicated by the rate of exchange on London, rose a trifle in value, and at the last date an English sovereign was actually worth no more than twelve florins and a half, or twenty-Ave shillings, in Anstrian paper.

How self-condemned, in the eyes of all Europe, is a government which can even conceive such an idea I Only think of rig-ring' the market with a charge of bayonets The proposition of our mirthful contemporary, in the height of the share mania, that Prince Albert and a party of sportsmen should make a battue of the 'stags' in Cupel-court, has actually been realised in an European capital, for to pick out the realising prohts have taken place, the upward movement has been checked. Gold mining shares are generally in improved request, although no works, hichever party claims the jury, the other aide have a favourite topic wherewith to assail some disconsolate juryman. The jury have been most unnecessarily dragged from their homes upon this trumpery case, There is, however, a still more formidable thing to be dreaded by the suitor who chooses a jury and that is the ill-will of the judge. One of these learned personages has, in a published pamphlet, pretty plainly expressed his opinion of suitors who ask for a jury. Influenced by such circumstances, it is no wonder that suitors generally do not their right of demanding a jury, and when in addition it is remembered that a certain number of days' notice is required, they who know the dilatory manner in which suitors attend to their own cises, will not accept as conclusive, the inference of the Morning Chronicle, that the people generally have been perfectly content with the decisions of County Court judges npon facts.

As to costs, the legislature has given absolute discretion to the learned judges in question, and the exercise of this discretion has been as singular as it has been various. At a public meeting of attorneys, a few days ago, we noticed the statement of one of them that a county court ju 'ge had for some supposed affront, always refused him costs, in whatever cause he might appear. Some judges consider the revenue laws oppressive, and if any objection be made to a document for the want of a stamp, adjourn the cause for a time, and make the party objecting pay the costs of the adjournment. Some think if the plaintiff fail that it is very hard upon him to lose his cause, and to have to pay the defendant's costs but the most singular exercise we have ever observed of the power conferred by the legislature was in a case where the plaintiff claimed the ownership of a dog in the possession of the defendant. The conclusion of the case is thus reported by a provincial contemporaryj- Ultimately bit Honour gave a verdict for the defendant, on the ground that the defendant had had the dog for three ye.irs, and that soma other witness had proved that there might ba other dona like It.

Another reason why ha thought he ought to give the defendant a verdict was, that the platu-tiff had stated that the claw was out off the right leg, whereas it was proved that it was the left leg which had lost one uf its cltws. He wuld, however, order that the defendant should pay hilt the costs, as the plainiiff clear I believed that the animal teas his property." Why the defendant was to pay costs, because the plaintiff had made a mistake, and claimed a dog that did not in point of fact belong to him, would fpuizle all the jurists that ever wrote upon the principles of justice; but it would puzzle a practical lawyer of the nineteenth century still more to ascertain in what way the inscrutable decree of the County Court judge could be enforced. The statute of Gloucester, indeed, provides that the demandant who succeeds shall have his costs, and the County Court Act does not so far vary the provision as to enable the presiding judge to declare that that the plaintiff, though he has no cause of action, has yet a right to ousts. But suppose the defendant will not consent to pay costs, supporter of Church tnd State, and on several occasions, in material change has occurred in quotation.

Frank, fearless, and uncompromising, he was a moBt inconvenient counsellor of the King to the successive truckling administrations that, with the exception of Mr. Percival's Bhort premiership, followed the dismissal of The Talents" in 1807. The Whigs naturally hated the brave, single-minded, out-spoken Tory Prince, and persecuted him, according to their fashion, with the falsest and the foulest calumnies and, to the disgrace of our human nature, the Tory politicians were not slow to indulge their jealousy of the iu-dependent and high-minded Prince, by favouring this persecution with some of the worst slanders against him (all, however, were groundless), which were circulated in whispers by the Tory officials whom he had placed and continued in office.

The servants whom his station compelled him to maintain, finding themselves so much less indulged than the servants of some of his more profuse brothers, thought that they were ill treated, and one of them, a foreigner, of weak intellect, irritated by his supposed wrongs, made a savage attempt upon the Duke while in his bed, and mangled his person, more especially hie head, with many cruel wounds.

The Duke of Cumberland continued to resida in Euglan from the year 1828 until the death of William by which the Salique Law came into operation, and alienated the Crown of Hanover from that of Great Britain bestowing it upon the Sovereign whose demise we now rocord. The wisdom and policy of the Prinee of the Blood Royal allying himself with any party may end has been questioned.

Still, the illustrious deceased showed a memorable obedience to the edicts of the government when, on receiving Lord John Russell's missive, that after a certain day the existence of the Orange lodges of Ireland (of which be was the patron and head) would be illegal, he at once replied to tha noble lord announcing hia perfect readiness to succumb to the law as enacted by the three estates of the realm. In his capacity of Chnncellor of the University of Dublin, the late Prince exhibited au unwearied interest in the educational affairs of that part of the empire. Of the late Sir Charles Wetherall, one of the greatest constitutional lawyers that ever graced this country, he was tbe intimate personal friend, as shown by the fact that in 1813, oq the occasion of his visit to this country, after his accession to the Hanoverian Throne, he honoured tbe learned and eccentric knight by dining with him at his chambers in Stone-buildings, Lincoln's-inn; and Sir Charles was frequently the King's guest at the Court of Hinover.
