The tributes of respect and affection offered ly the bar and the public to the retiring , judge were truly consolatory to his-ruffled feelings , and as richly deserved as any honours ever offered to an aged public servant .
In his- retirement , he" manifested great interest in the question , of the slave-trade ^ and was a decided advocate of the abplitiott of impediments' to marriage * with : a deceased wife ' s sister ; and on these subjects he occasionally wrote , even after he had ceased to attend in Parliament . He was of a high order as a patriot , and high as a man ; and it may safely , be said that whsen he retired frona his professional , career he commanded respect for his unimpaired solicitude for the public weal , and a tender reverence for his peisbnal virtue .

MR JOHN CHAPJdEA ^ . —HIS DEATH AND ' HIS LAST PAPER . War learn ^ with unfeigned regret , the death of Mr . ' John Chapman , author of" a work recently published , on the " Cotton and Commerce of India , " and of many papers , some of which vre have ourselves had the pleasure ' of publishing-, while others have appeared' in' the Westminster Mevietu . Mr . Chapman had been called some years back , in the course of his profession as civil engineer , to India ; and although the operations in which he was engaged did not turn to the advantage which he expected , and which we believe he deserved , he was enabled to

The proposition with' which . WilUelnl Von Huinbbfdt starts , is ; to a certain extent a scientific and sentimental parallel to the maia iiaea . of Protidhon—a minimising of g ^ overnr ^ ieBt .

Ho liad gained tlie confidence of many Indian reformers , and particularly- of the native leaders in Bombay , wnose endeavours to obtain extensions of political rights to the natives of India he assisted with his counsel and agency . In this capacity he performed a great amount of work , of much use to India and its natives , which received no payment , and which will unquestionably never receive recognition , for it was as unostentatiously dbn& aa it was energetic . ¦
Oh the 9 th hist , he laid before th 6 editor of the Westminster Review , the publisher of-which was a distant relation , tho manuscript of a paper binsed " upon Wilhelmvbh H ' unaboldt ' s recently translatou work on ' The Sphoi-o and Duties of Government : " the article was incomplete , but the writer explained tlio sequql with hia usual vigour . On the following Sunday , « t noon , he complained of dizziness , sund on Monday morning ho died in his sleep . For sometime past Iiis health appeared to be less -vigorous than it had been . He wns ft shrewd , straightforward , keen-sighted , honest ,

Another Briton has ( been as cbaractexrs $ icanj > - conspicuous . The Boulogne theatre was burnt down the other day . During the conflagration an incident occurred tvhich mightiiave deranged tlie entente cor ~ didle . " There ia a law in Franco tiiat all persons present on such an occasion should aid , in extinguishing tho flames ; but an ignorance of its existence was well nigh bringing a few of our countryanen into trouble , as they crowded the ground merely in the character of spectators , and didnot understand tlie language or brook tho manner in which' the military called op them to help . Indeed , one of them who , in attempting to pass onward , was prevented by a soldier , immediately wrested tlio musket
from his grasp , and to prevent any injury bejng inflicted in tho souffle , unscrewed tho bayonet . This latter manoeuvre w-aa altogether misundorstood by tho bystanders , who , u ' ndw the impression that ho was going to use the bayonet for the purpose of- stalling his antagonist , became fearfully excited against him . He -waa immediately surrounded and placed in tho Imnda of two of tho police , who unceiomoniouBly dragged him to ' prison , one holding him by tho neck-tio and the collar of hia coat , and the other impelling him ^ vith his hnnd pressed against the back of his neck . This wns on opiaodo to the main act which wight have been avoided by a little forbearance .
