For the ae: lg! eserve our judgment, ual ap rar ~ y % Sageets ‘tally de: ‘the opening of a large and perennially incor p> ply to alt the nations of theearth. If. indeed, the rate at which the gold district was yielding, sscording to the more sanguine accounts, could be maintained for any considerable period, it could hardly fail to affect ‘waterially, and at no distant time, the quantity of cir- culating medium througbout the world. But this is, of courte, the great, and, at present, unascertained oestion; and, at ailevents, it appears safe to assert, thst, unless the. yleld cf the Californian gold fields be enormous indeed, the vast amount of the precious woctals already in use, is sufficient to obviate any sud- den and abrubt declension in their value. What that amount is, is a matter of great uncertainty, for the data are by no means eccu: ly ascertained, and the estimates of different writers, who have published the xervlte of their reeearches, r somewhat widely. BAccording to the cor tation of Mr. Jacob, the author of a treatise of considerable repute upon the eclous metal otal val ow tity in Europe, in 18: ‘The seme autnor eotimates the rage revious twent; ears, fiom all sourcer,at nO more wn £5 236, ir. McCulloch's calculation of the total quantity in possesrion, is 2 good deal under that ef Mr. Jacob, but, according to him, the annual supply, at mea prrsen’ time, is much greater than that above stated. The aggregate produce of the American mimes, Mr. Mo- Culloch puts at £6000,000, those of Russia at nearly twe millions and shalfand those of other European mines at £750,000- making the total sup- ply per snnum, about £9056000. Since, however, tbe st edition of the Commercial Dictionary was ubliehed, the rapidly increased fertility of the Siberian ‘mines, the produce of which has been Lvgwented tenfold within the last ten years, must be 1 dded to the account; and » recent Parliamentary re- varn has shown, that the total value of the gold pro- cuced within the dominions ef the Emperor of Russia, 30¢, ip the year 1846, to £3,414.429, having been only £900 678 im'1837 Still. this rapidly fnoreased supply does not appear to have told with any appreciable ¢ffect upon our standard, and it affords» proof how great end sudden an augmentation of the precious metals may take place. without causing perceptible de- Preciation, Itebould be observed, thet the expense attending the working of the Emperor's min pored, by many persons, to bear a very 1 ihe profite; and. of cour Califervian! gold-seeker supplies should conti gatelienly, from the surfsce of the country, the conrequent depreciation would tend to check the operations, which would then become no longer profitable, in Siberia and the Oural. Although we ehould be unwilling, in the imperfect state of our information as to the Californian work- ings. to commit ourselves to the assertion that thé in- flux of gold, from this source, will not in any degree ot the standard of our cucrency, we are free to con- that the prospect is one which we contemplate, under all ite cireumstanoces, with little anxiet: No doubt, arudden and violent depression in the value of gold bullion, attended, as it would be, by rapid rise of prices, and deranging the baeis on which existing epgagements have beeu formed between man and men, would be a serious calamity. Such a revo- Yution in values would but relivve one class at the expenre of another; and it would be the occasion of inevitable embarracsment and distress.

The Corn Trade of Europe. [From the London Mercantile Gasette, Jan. 26 ] Very little alteration has taken pene in the position of the grain trade since our last. Buyers are generaily holding off for the let of February, in expectation of some further depression in prices, or at all events, a better seluction of quality. Sellers,on the other band, appear to feel Kenyir 4 confident, under the impres- on that the effect of the repeal of the dutics has been anticipated, and that the influence will be compara- tively trifling when the event takes place. Our own impression is that prices are nearly, if not quite, as low as they are likely to go, amd that an improvement in the demand may be reckoned on next month, merchants and millers having allowed their to run low. We question, however, whether prices will advance, for, although it will not pay at present to import from foreign countries, good many contracts were entered into during the autumn end 5 a Baltic highly proable. r continental parts the ice has al- Feady disappeared, and we mi xpeot shortly to hear of shipmerts of corn for Britis te hi held since Monday, the value of w! bly well ; indeed, the growers appear to have made up their minds to see the effect of the order of things, and for some time past the su rom the farmers have been smaller than might coastwise into the portof London have been scanty in the extreme, and the quantity brought forward at Mark-lane by land cariiage samples from the neigh- boring counties, bas also been trifling.

The condition was damp and rough, notwithetanding which a clearance was effso:ed at rates about the sames as those current on that day se’nnight, Since then, roaroely aathing has come for- ward,and though the inquiry was decidedly slow on Wednesday, as wellas this morning. factora remained d the trifling sales made were at terms similar qualities of free foreign whe: ow of late, but of recondary and inferior sorts the stocksare largo The actions bave throughout the week bsen on a re- have, however, refused to accept ‘and no variation has taken place in quota- morning tactors offered bonded wheat, de- liverable tree on or after the les of February, at pri value of gold, to which the transactions of the country might insensibly adjust themeelves, is a very different matter ; nor should we be inclined to regard this as either an unjust or an unreasonable mitigation of our financial difficulties. Without at all conceding to the opinion of thore who argue that, under the act of 1819, the creditor of the State obtained an unrigh- teous sévantage, we do not go the length of arserting, that a depreciation of the medium in which the gor- ernment is pledged to liquidate its ot iigati vided that it were not extreme or precipita gradual result of a permanently iner: ‘ased supply — ‘would be inconsistent with thefullinto,rity of public faith. To those who are bound to pay, on the other j—to the indebtea members ot this heavily taxed community—it would afford a progressive relief, and, porsibly, an ultimate extrication, from burdens whic ir energies, and which, by the 4 the discontent which they occasion, tend, in jegree, to endanger the very security on which the creditor depends. ‘These, howeve: after all, mere theoretl culations, contingent on events which may realized. ’ It is, perhaps, quite as probable » result, that the accession to stock of the precious metal which is now taking place, msy prove not more than commen- urate with the wants of an extending commerce, and ‘with the rapid increase of production which the sgen- cies of the nineteenth century have so marvelously stimulate Ite direct effect, in enhancing the ex- changeable value of property, may, not improbably, torn out, after all that has been vaunted, to be practi ae unfelt. ith regard to the immediate consequences to our own trade and manufactures, of the discovery of this Mew source of metallic wealth, we may safely predic: thatit can hardly fail to be beneficial, provided only that we know how to turn it tothe best ucoount.

New York, Tucaday, ebruary 13, 1849. ie The New Fourterite Code of Legal Practice. Years ago—it matters not how many—there stood, 1n one of the fairest provinces of the father land, a fine old castellated building, which seldom failed to attract the pleased attention of the passer by. Ithad been in the possession of one of the ; most ancient families in the kingdom ever since its founder, a soldier of fortune, received the castle, and the broad lands surrounding 1t, as the reward of his disinterested devotion to the fortunes of his sovereign master. ration had made considerable additions to the original structure; and thus it presented, at the | time of which we speak, a most picturesque mix- ture of half a dozen different styles of architecture. In truth, as the declining rays of the setting sun illumined the numerous quaint old-fashioned win- | dows of the venerable pile, gilding its roofs, and | pointed gables, and buttresses, and tall stone chimney-shafts, the varied outline of the whole being seen in bold relief against the placid sky of a summer eve, a picture was presented worthy the vencil even of the matchless Claude. The interior was in keeping with the outward aspect of the mansion. There were many winding passages and oaken stairways leading to long, irregular corridors and lobbies; and numerous apartments, of all dimensions, from the great hall where they feasted, to the small octangular room in one of the turrets, to which the tongue of grey tradition had long since given a somewhat doubtful fame. But you were at once struck by the air of comfort and convenience which was manifest throughout the spacious dwelling. All its arrangements were well known to the numerous household. It was deliciously cool in summer; while in winter, as the winds swept howling around its solid walls, or fiercely aesailed the sturdy “old ancestral trees,” it seemed the chosen abode of that princely hospitality which encircles, as with a glory, the reverend head of the ‘olden time.” Thus grew and flourished that stately and com- modious dwelling, having seen many a generation of its owners pass, one by one, from its peaceful shelter to the everlasting silence of the family tomb ; until, in an evil hour, the eye of a new pos sessor, whege brain had been disturbed by the re- forming mania of these modern days, rested with displeaeure upon two small turrets which reli¢ved one of the many angles of the building. At that instant the destruction ot the whole was doomed. And so the levelier went to work, and im afew short months, the entire structure, 80 long the dwellmg-place of happmess and eomfort, was aheap of ruins. The re-construction immediately began. But marvellous enough, the new architect now discovered that 1n order to rear a fabric which wou'd meet the wants of his employer, it would be necessary to build upon the identical founda- tiovs of the structure which had just been levelled with the duet! Thus, then, the work of centuries was, after all, to be restored, at great cost and labor, the ejected household being obliged, meanwhile, to submit to a thousand inconveniences and priva- tions. Such is a fair illustration of the spint and saga- city of many modern reformers ; and seldom have the folly and obstinacy of that visionary reform, which is potent only to destroy, been more sig- nally and practically exhibited than in the attempt to establish the new legal code of the State of New York—an effort quite worthy of its origin in that bastard philosophy of Fourier, to which Mr. Greeley, of the Tyzbwne, has attached himself with a natural and instinctive devotion. The established legal practice, which has grown up under the administration of the law in the courts of England and the United States, 1s a ne- cessary and important part of that great fabric which has been reared by the accumulated wisdom of centuries. It 1s the result of a vast experience. It has been created, modified and improved by disciplined minds, conversant with human affairs; and to whem, from age to age, so large a share in the daily business of society has been freely and safely committed by the most highly civilized and enlightened communities on the face ef the globe. It has sprung from the wants and necessities of society, and adapted itself to them. Hence its general admirable utility. But to the eye of the ignorant pretenders to the character of philosophic reformers, this great structure—which has been certainly subjected to a process of renovation, and has therefore all the dignity and stability, without the decrepitude, of venerable age—is nothing but an unsightly heap of rubbish. It 18 a cumbersome, inconvenient, and irregular system, say they, and muet give place to a bran new one, made to order at the ehortest notice, by two or three smart York lawyers, at the reasonable cost of twenty shillings a day. The good people of the State—many of them, doubtless, emarting under the wholesome discipline which sooner or later follows unneces sary or malicious litigation, and rejoiced at the chance of humbling so rigid a schocl-master—lis- tened to the voice of the Fourierite charmer, com- mussioning three or four promising lawyers to con- struct a “new code,” who accordingly stripped and went to work with all the zeal and alacrity of aequad of industrious hodmen who have just refreshed themselves with a libation of ‘the best of liquor, at three cents a glass.” Ihe result of this grand legal retorm is now fairly before us; and already the utter folly and absurdity of the whole thing are transparent.— Judges, lawyers, clients, are all abroad. It is «*confusion worse confounded.” It 1s the blind leading the blind ; and both are, of course, in the ditch. Just think of it! Every trivial point that aries relative to practice, must be carried up to the highest court for a decision! ©, sa- pient reformers! The counsel of Mr. John Smith, the plamtiff, gives his cpinion before one of the inferior courts, with respect to the proper interpretation of the “code” on some point of gieater cr lesser importance ; but the legal adviser ot Mr. William Jones, the defendant, takes an entirely opposite view of it. Of course» all precedents have been swept away, and Judge Solomon Wiseman decides according to his own view of it, to which one, or perhaps both, of the parties object ; and so they appeal from court to court, ull they reach the highest. An authorita- tive decision being at length obtained, the case is resumed, de novo, after an enormous expenditure of time, money, patience, and temper ; whereas» under the established system of practice which obtains in other portions ot our Christian republic, the difficulty, if ithad arisen at all, would have been obviated without any delay. There is, ia fact, no end to the inconvemences, and difficaltics, and annoyances of this wretched abortion in the way of legal reform. It eurrounds the litigant with new embarrassinents at every step, impeding the Generation after gene- | courre of juetice, and involving all legal proceed- Ange in uncertainty. But stop—let us be thankful for one great boon which we have gained from this Fourierive “code.” as a “writ of deliverance!” This is the very subbmity of reform. Personal rights and public liberty are now secure against any stratagem! No j danger, now, ‘hat virtrons citizens will be torn | from the peacetul bosom of their famihes, to linger | Out their weary days im our Centre street Bastile ! | The dazzling sunlight of the “ code” has visited | The writ of habeus corpus is hereafter to be known | | | | even the subterranean abodes of police oppression | an the Five Points; and the untutored mind of | their retiring inmates is grac ously instructed to | know thea, old and valued friend, under the new | Rame: ofa: writ -ofdeltverance’!» Adnurable plece Of reform!

Pope, in his ** Essay on Criticism,” remarks :— “Some, by old words, to fame have made pretence;” —to which we may now ad But Field, by new ones, shows his better sense! A “writ of deliverance”! Wonderfal codists— or, cod-heads! Common sense and experience, aided by the light of Christian philosophy, are the true reform- ers. They proceed slowly and cautiously. Their operations, like those of nature herselt, are gradual. | All the great institutions of human society, by which its peace, order and prosperity are maintain- | ed, have been the growth of many generations. They have adapted themselves, by a natural and healthful procees, to the varying condition ot human affairs. The work of reform is continually proceeding, and is the result of an antagonism which pervades the moral, as well as the physical, world. Occasionally there 18 a vio- | lent and forcible collision of the opposing mo- | ral elements, often preceded by a period of unusua repose, like the portentous calm which frequently | gives token of one of those awful physical con- vulsions under which the earth reels to and fro jike a drunken man; but the general rule is, that the progress of reiorm 18 siow and peaceful. Na- tions and communities do not, any more than in. dividuals, attain at once their full developement. But all this is entirely errone+us, in the opinion of the Fourierite philosophers. They would reverse the order of nature. These shallow-pated triflers discard,with the supremest contempt, the Christian religion, experience, and common sense. With just enough of learning to give an air of philoso- phical research to the jargon with which they “tickle the ears of the groundlings,” they draw up their splendid schemes, to which human nature is to be subjected, and become quite angelic; and the More repugnant the schemes may be to reason, common sense, and experience, the more frantic are these charletans in their advocacy of them. The restlessness of these quack reformers is ano- ther significant characteristic. Thus, Greeley is one day quite absorbed in dietetic reform. Braa bread and lollipop are the only remedies for human depravity. Now itis the anti-grog reform; then, st 1s mileage reform. So he goes—eternally at- work, like a squirrel in a cage, and all to no pur- pose. One ef his last exploits has been the detecta- ble legal retorm, which has already materially aided in disgusting the public with all this charlatanry. Men have been taught by this salutary lesson to prize more highly the results of experience, and to beware of permitting a spurious philosophy to control in any degree the business of society. A quack reformer, with an addled brain and poot digestion, may be allowed to affect a whimsical style of clothing, and exhort mankind to eschew the iniquity of mutton. But when he attempts to force upon us a ‘Graham code” of legal practice» he clearly ‘‘ o’ersteps the modesty of nature,” and ceases to be harmless. It is all well enough, so far as the great public is concerned, that weak egotists, like Greeley and his associates, whose minds have not been subjected to proper discipline, should indulge themselves in antics and vagaries for the general amusement. But when such viston- aries attempt to meddle with the course of human affuira, they should be subjected to proper restraint, just as a humane regard for the safety of nursery maids and children imposes, by a chain and muz- zle, a due limit to the uncouth gambols of a dancing bear. . Let this last Fourierite monstrosity be put out of the way as quickly as possible! Let us avoid the ricketty, gingerbread structure which these Fourzinte botches have erected, and at once return to the good old house of our fathers, commodious and secure, with all whose arrangements we are familiar, and beneath whose ample roof law and justice ensure us the full enjoyment of our rights, and undisturbed repose.
