The Arago brings news of the death
of Lord Raglan, commander-in-chief of
the English forces in the East. The
melancholy news was received by Lord
Panmure, from General Simpson on the
afternoon of the 30th ultimo. For some
days previously Lord Raglan had been
suffering from indisposition, but until 4
P. M., on the 28th, his lordship progres-

tendants.
Afterwards alarming symptoms devel-

ly sank, until twenty-five minutes be-

Tne event has plunged the whole army

that Major General Simpson has succee-

Great Fires at Manchester, N. H.
Four Hundred Men out of Ern-
ployment.
Two fearfully destructive fires occur-
red at Manchester, N. H., on Sunday
morning. The first occurred in mill No.
1 on the Manchester corporation, at
about one o'clock in the morning, catch-
lug in the counting room in consequence
of the bottom of tho watchman’s lantern
dropping olf and rolling into a pile of to.
ping. The watchman did not give the
alarm at once, hoping to be able to ex-
tinguish the flames himself, but when
satisfied of the futility of that hope, he
gave the alarm. and all the means that
could be made available were brought
to bear upon the danger. Unfortunately
however, the fire apparatus of the mills
could not be used, for the reason that the
water had been drawn from the canal the
evening before. Half of the mill, which
was five hundred feet long, was destroy-
ed, andabout one quarter of the machin-
ery of the manufacturing department of
the corporation the actual loss. to the‘cor-
poratiou will be between $250,000 and
$300,000, of which $100,000 is covered
- by insurance.
In September, 1853, the same
company lost $150,000 by the burning of
the fiut works. By this calamity, four
hundred operatives are thrown out of
employment. '
While the fire was raging, another,
probably set by an incendiar , brokeout
in a wooden building betwee Manches-
ter and Hanover streets, and speedily
thence extended to Manchester street on
the one side and Hanover on the other.
This second fire was aggravated by the
circumstance that nearly an hour elaps-
ed before the engines could be withdrawn
from the fire at the mills. An express
was sent to Concord for help, but tli_‘e_‘lo-
,coinotive ran off the track, causing a de-
lay which would have rendered any, help
from that quarter unavailing_ Eighteen
establishments on Elm street were whol-
ly or partially destroyed; the post office
building and city bank on Hanover strée t
were somewhat damaged, and six or
seven dwelling houses on the same street
Manchester street were reduced to ash-
es or made tenantless. Thirty families,
in all, at least, were made houseless, and
two acres of densely populated territory
devnsted, The buildings destroyed were
mostly wooden, and therefore not very
costly. The loss is estimated at Si?-75,000
in round numbers. '

The Legislature.
' The moist Important Stntiitn, enacted by the
last. General Assembly, is undoubtedly,-the
Act commonly known as “ thejicdicial Refarm
Bill.” We propose to consider in the present
and succeeding articles, the object and some
of the provisions of this Statute.
There seems to be little question of the ne-
cessity which existed, at the commencement
of the Session, of some change in the Judicial
system of our State. In the Message of the
Governor the subject is thus plainly treated :
“ During the few past years, very much
complaint has been made by the people of this
State, in relation to the great. delay in the
prosecution of causes before the Courts of
Justice. The cm‘! is nofconfined to one sec-
tion or one County. but is coextensive with
the Iimitg of the State. In some of the larger
Counties, causes have been pending before the
Superior Court auvaiting their turn of trial
for a period of more than two years. The
injury must be great or the claim large that
will induce ary citizen to attempt the redress
of the one, or the collection of the other, when
he is honestly assured that he must patiently
wait, at least two years, before ti. determina-
. tion of his suit. The delay is not the only
hardship that is suffered by suitors before our
Courts; hut, consequent upon that delay and
necessarily growing out of it. is the 19-11581)’
increased amount of coats and expenses con‘
nccted with the prosecution of every suit. In
nary many instances, the two causes to which
Ihave referred operate practically as a de-
nial of justice. * ’ "' * The
docket: of our’ Courts have been cumbet-ed to
site]: an extent that it has been found to be im-
possible to do that justice to parties t.hat,the|r
_r-fglits required. Again, the Judges of the
Superior Court are now required to perform
circuit duty, and also to expend eight weeks
in the different Counties, as a Court of
-Errors, to revise questions of law that may
have arisen ‘in the Superior Court,-o duty
‘one:-one upon them and requiring much time
that otherwise might be occupied in the trial
of Jury causes. " * ’ ’ -4"!
impruement of the present judiciai ‘system
will be attended with cost, to the State. [fit
is right {lure such‘ M01413-be

pIes,mmi be regarded an economical. In any
event, the people require action by you, and
ifllint action be dictated by a reeling for the
bélit interests of the commonwealth, their op-
piibval will sanction I earnestly recom-
mend the whole subject to your favorable con-
sideration, and hope the just complaint: of.
‘the community will be heard and a .reuud;y
p.’ voided.” ’ ‘
‘Such was the language of the Governor to
the members of the General Assembly, and the
people, of all parties, heartily responded their
approval. The Ilartfprd Times of Ily 33-
declsred that “ the Gavernor’s suggestion:
ccnceming the Judiciary system, and the
proposed method of correcting its acknowl-
edged evils, are well-timed and gory good.”
Such was the necessity for Judicial rqform
at the opening of the General Assembly. Let
us now look at the actually existing condition
of the Judicial system before the reform was
made.
‘ There was a. Supreme Court of Errors, con-
sisting of live judges, who constituted the
judge: also of the Superior Court, of whom the
Chief Judge received I salary of $1300 I year,
mind the other four a. salary each of $1250 9-
year. .
There was in each County, a County Court,
the salaries of whose judges were as follows:
Hartford County $500.
New Haven do 500.
New London do 350.
Fair-field do 425.
Litclifield do 350.
Windham do 300.
Middlesex do 275.
Tolland do 200.
The total amount of salaries paid under the
old system was therefore $9,200.
The salaries of the County Court Judges
were such as, in most cases, to prevent Law-
yers in active practice fromiaccepting the of-
fice. The consequence was that the post was
mostly filled with incompetent men. Now and
then, in some of the counties, in qualified per-
son was persuaded to take the ollce, but such
instances were the exception, not the rule.-—
The result was that the buaine of the Court
was badly done; all appealable cases, were
appealed, and such as were not ’ appealable
went to the Superior Court by writ of error.
The party was thus kept for years in Court,
and put to the expense of repeated trials of his
cause before a final decision conldbe had. It
had become a common remark, and no less trle
than common. that, “ the County Court was
but a turnpike to the Superior, with my
heavy rolls to those who traveled it.”
Nor were the salaries of the Superior Court
Judges less Inadequate. Compelled to hold
twenty-tour termq of the Superior Court, and
eight terms of the Court of Errors in the difl‘er-
ent Counties of the State annually, their travel-
ing expense and board bills at Court consumed
a fourth of their scanty salaries. by were
men put the prime of life, generally with fan-
ilies about them, and for the support of those
families they received a lens sum than many
an active merchant’: clerk, in either of the
cities of the State. The Superior Courts more;
over were crowded to overflowing with busi-
ness. Nearly every unit in the State where
the matter in demand exceeded $100 and all
the cases where any of the rights in real estate
were in question, came to the Superior Court,
either directly or by appeal. Business lagged
years behind the time when it should have
been dispatched. The Judges overworked and
half paid,‘could not hasten its progresl.
-Moreover, the mode of practice had grown
cumbersome and tedious. Lawyers made half-
day', speeches in cases not requiring an hour's
argument. Trials were delayed by questions
ofievidence, needing no discussion at all, but
in disputing about which, much time was con-
sumed. Again, the dockets were filled with
vv.l_i‘i7it were appropriately called slmnnage cases;
i.e...cases in which there was no defence, but
which merely because they were IIIIWGIP-d to
by counsel, were continued along from term to
term, till the patience of the parties was ex-
hausted, or till even the “ law’s delay” crime
to an end.
The Courts were unnecessarily expensive to
the State ; the Jury, Sher-if, Messengers. &c..
&c., were in attendance for 9. whole term, at
an expense of some 840 Ii. day, mostly paid by
the State, and during the term, not more than
five’ or six Jury cases would be tried.
Such were some of the evils of the old sys-
tem. It was for the General Assembly of 1855
to provide a remedy. We will ebnsider in
another article, the character of the remedy
provided. ,

was the peculiarly American principle that

In :1 State where Education, so far at any rate
as to read, is in the power of every one, young
and old, we say, without fear of successful con-
tradiction, that the man who has not learned
to read the laws of the land, or the vote which
he is called upon to put in the ballot-box, is
unfit to be an Elector. There is not a man in
Connecticut now unable to read who may not
learn to do so before next April, and if he will
not take that trouble in order to learn some-
thing of the Institiitions which his vote is to
modify or sustain, he has no right to deposit
that vote at all. We believe that the effect of
the Amendment will be the diffusion of intelli-
gence; and with that diffusion, improvement
in all that advances or adorns Society. ‘

to guard against the possibility of loss of let-
ters or other mail matter which may have fal-

such waste paper during the tranS80fi0fl 01
