and their census, according to the German statists, who are generally considered to be correct, is now nearly the same a~ that of the people under Moses\u2014about three millions.They are thus distributed : \u2014 In Europe, 1,916,000, of which 658,000 are in Poland and Russia, and 45:3,000 sre in Austria, In Asia, 728,000, of which 300,000 are in Morocco.In America, North and South, 5,700.If we add to ihese about 13,000 Samaritans, the calculation iu round numbers will be about 3,180, 000.\u2018This was the report in 1825\u2014the numbers probably remain the same.The writer remarks : This extraordinary fixedness in the midst of almost universal iucrease, is doubtless not without à reason\u2014if we are even to look for it among the mysterious operalious which have preserved Israel a separate race through eizliteen hundred years.May we not naturally cuiceive, that a people thus preserved without advance or retrocession;

this is the second acei- dent of the same nature which bas happened on this spot within the inst two years.Mr.Birch had quitted the place where the accident happened but a few minutes previously\u2014had he remained be would most undoubtedly have lost his life.It 15 10 be hoped that those persons who are well paid by the Crown, will no longer cause life aud property to be exposed to a repetition of danger vu the Queen's estates in Quebec, whilst they have the | weans, by proper representation being made in the | right quarter, of producing a preventive to future i | siuilar accidents.CITIZEN.(For the Quebce Guzctte } THE | JUDICATURE BILL.Au eflicient system of judicature is so essentially required for the good Government of any country that too wuch cannot be said in relations ti the improvement of the Judicature of tits Province, which, lu the opinion of ail, so much requires amendment.The Quebec Bar is opposed tu some vf the details of w measure which, it bas been supposed, wonla Le submitted to the Special Couneil, The parts they viijeci to may easily Le altered and recttivd, 1 cou- sidered well founded, \u2014hbut the Montreal Bar Las gone one step further and attacked the principle of tie bill, by recommending an innovation in the constitution of Courts of Justice in its nature and ten- deney, as applied to the institutions of Lower Canada, the most permivious and dangerous, viz.: an Appellate Court to be composed of the Judges who have alrvady decided the case, and of certain other Judges whose decisions they are also to revise in their turn, Should this scheme of theirs be shew to bie of the character attributed to it, their objre- into objections, as 10 detail, in their nature similar to those of the Quebec Bar, of the Muutreal Bar, is, most certuinly a very curious production, founded upon erroneous information, or if such an expression may be used, upon à want of information.The gentleman, charged with drawing up the report, who has been constituted by thie Bar the keeper of their conscience upon this occasion, has inisconceived the nature and effect of the proposed bill, and has omitted to make the investigation as to facts which the reference to him required.The style aud tone of the document is hasty aud not of the deliberate tone tu be expected from a delite- rative body not actuated by party spirit, interest or passion Some parts of the report which lie has submitted are absolutely unintelhigible.For instance, he says, \u201cthe issue ts Letween the framer of \u201cthe measure and the system which itis now pro- \u2018\u201c posed to subvert.\u201d One has heard of an issue, in other words, a disputed question of law or fact, between two individuals, but never of an issue between an individual and à measure of auy kind.This, lawyers are supposed to know.Ifit had been said, that the issue was between the framer of the bill and the framer of the report, the gentleman would have made himself intelligible.In auother part of the report, hesays, \u201c the province of n Court of Ap- \u201c peals is not to try the cause but the justice of the \u201c\u201c sentence appealed from.\u201d What can this mean ?Fo an ordinary understanding it is perfectly incomprehensible, Perhaps it is meant that the justice of the sentence could be ascertained by inspiration, without a trial of the cause.The report in question teeins with inaccuracies of this kind, and many of them may bo selected, if required.But, to the merits of the recommendation of the report, that there should pot be a separate Court of Appeals, bat the Judges sitting in the Courts of Ori- gival Jurisdiction, the Courts of King's Bench, should decide upon their own judgments.* 1 shail \u201c not challenge the annals of justice in all civilized \u201c communities,\u201d for a precedent for such à system in a country situated like Lower Canada, us the writer of the report has dore fur the production of a precedent for a casting vote, as, | believe, some half a dozen precedents uuder the British Government, have been already furnished lim, But, [ wiil confess myself to be much indebted to the framer ot the report, if be will point out any system wherein decisions given by the Judges ju the first instance on law aud fact, aro to be decided again Ly themselves un appeal and in the last resort, l am couvinced that such a system would entail upon this Province aju- dicial tyranny unequalled in the * anvals of justice\u201d of every civilized community.Try the decision of a Judge before himself and convince him that he is wrong, that he has committed an injustice, that he has taken an estate from A.and given it to B., when A.had the better right to it! Tell him that he did not understand the law, and so on.Itisa pity that the gentlemen whoadopted this report did not see that such a system would not only detract paralyze the exertions of the bar, Le destructive of their independence, aud render them the slaves of the judiciary.Where could au Advocate be found to recommend an sppeal from an illegal aud unjust judgment, if he kusw that three out of six, or nine even, of the Appellate Court were against him and { had already given their opinions, which, necording to our own law, is a just ground of recusution, par- tienlarly when lie was aware that these same three Judges would, shortly afterwards, hold the rod over their associates and decide upon the justice of their decisions?Experience has shewn that a Judge will go all lengths to support his decisions, sven as far as the Advocate.They have been known to exar- cise their influence, tu control the decisions of the apposite side of an Appeal Court, and to furnish an Attorney with arguments to back their decision, \u2014 This ix, perhaps, in human nature, but it is decidedly improper, and any system, in which it can be practised, is vicions, Although it is almost impossible ta conceive that Judges will be actuated by a retaliatory spirit in reversing each other's decisions, when they have the power, I can conceive that that spirit may exist, unknown to themselves : at « any rate the character of a Judre should be, like that of Cæsar\u2019s wife, above suspicion, and he should not be placed in the way of temptation, as ail men are prone to err.It hus been a standing joke for years at the appeal bar, that the reversals on ove side of the Court must be equalled by those un the other, otherwise the character of one Court of King's Bench would be inferior to that of the other.These objections exist to the Montreal Bar proposition, but there are others.The first is, that it is impracticable for the Judges of the Courts, as now constituted, to leave their districts and all of them assemble, at a particular place, four times a-year, to decide cases at Montreal or Quebec, as praposed.The second is, tions to the proposed measure resolve themmseives | .2.11 The report which has eraanated fiom a majority | that it is impossible for a Court of Appeals to be- I come an itinerant Court, and sit at Montreal, as proposed.Montreal is, no doubt, a very line city, and ought, no doubt, to Lo thecentre of attraction for (the rest of the Province, but it is a little too much i for it to expect that the Appellate Court of the Pro- ; vinee is to become a sett of travelling Judges for its convenience, or rather for the convenience of the .Montreal Bar.1fan Appellate Court are to ro to Montreal, other parts of the Proviure will expect the same thing.Such a Court must be at the seat of Government, wherever that is, and all parties must resort to it.The pretension of the Montreal lawyers is about as reasonalle as if every Bur in the United States should require the Supreme Court of the United States at Washington to attend their convenience.Again, the proposal of the Montreal Bar .i would engeuder an esprit de corps among the Judges; | to support our own dignity, they would say, we | wust wot reverse each other's decisions, it will not do to ery Peccavi, to say thst we have misconstrued the law which it is our business to understand.These observations suffice to shew thatas Appellate Court must be a separate and independent tribunal.But this, it is said iu the report, would im- ENTERED FOR LOADING.April 27th.;
