He answered without hesitation, 'cloth buttons..' ' The Judge -eyed the defendant's lawyer with surprise. ' Pray, what has such a question to do -wiih the ct.se V ' Very much,', was the 3iert rejoinder, 'as I shall presently show' Jtnd accordingly th learned gentleman, to the astonishment of every one certainly to the astonishment of the, unfortunate tai lor,, began to quo.e acts of VViltiam the Third, acts of Queen Anne and acta of George the First, giving in each case chapter and verse with the most cool and .unblushing precision, pioving that the mak . ang of 'cloth buttons' was. decidedly ille gal, and that the unhappy plaintiff, so Tar from being in a position to recover his just -debt, had not only forfeited his claim, b"t 3iad rendered himself liable to keacy penal ties for snaking. his buttons of cloth, when they ought to have been made of brass! ' ' It is here enacted,' said this accomplish ed' legal excavator, 'that no person in Eng land shall make, sell, pr se w on any clothes tiuttoa3 or button-holes made . or bound with cloth, serjre, camlets, of -druggets, or any other stun, under a penalty of forty .sniK lings for every dozen buttons so made ; and the provisions further direct that no person can recover for vlolhcs made without brass y b'tjions." ; At, the close of this- Viotable ; speech a roar of laughter, according to the report proceeded from the persons who were in the CourC ; ; Everybody 'laughed but the poor tailor.,,. For him these absurd statutes, so glibly quoted, were .no laugh Zing matters. ; The judge found that, these ' acts, which hod been" passed to encourage i the Birmingham battort trade in the good old days of protection, bad never been re pealed ; and the result was. that the tailor -was non-suited, and. impudently told by the man who had cheated him that he would be- proceeded against "for the recovery: of penalties specified in the acts.. - t Now, considering bow much this coun try pays to lawyers, will any one hesitate to say that this is not a disgraceful state of things?

The Queen's government was so well aware of thef vi. r Mid activity with which this secret but foriiildable lever would b worked, as to make it tbo object of rt de cree early fn 183-1, admonishing1 the Clergy against indulging in any political discus sions from the pulpit and fixing penal ties against the transgressors; but Ihe re sult was nearly the same as if no such de cree had been issued. If the summons to arms n favor of Don Carlos and th quisition, was not thundered from the pul pit in lull congregationj the mysterious in fluences of the Confessional did the work quite as effectually. Absolutions were with held unless a solemn promise of adherence to the 'good cause' was given. , Spiritual and temporal conbider itiono were called in aid; every fibre of tLe hu man heart within reach of supersition wus struck, and returned a farorablo sound. A sort of freemasonry was thus establish ed between the great majority of penitents and their confessors. The actual, obstinate contest now maintainted (I83G) in tho northern Provinces of Spain, owes its ori gin and duration to this ghostly ftict, en tered into at the foot of the penitential, und fulfilled with a constancy ami good faith worthy of a bette caue. Tho sturdy Monks by no means limited their exertions to merely professional duties : numbers threw aside both cowl and missal, girding a sword and piatol belt oi'cr their tucked up robes, clapping a shako over their ton sured pates, and seising u crucifix, na a fit ting banner for such n phalanx they sallied forth from their convents to 'fight the good fight,' and preach 'to quarters' to their ene mies. Mcene in Court Imuieuae f-.tcIUmeiit. The New Orleans 7V,? D Ita of the ICili inst., relates the followirg; On Monday evening, nn amusing, ihough rather pointed passage ai-anns took place between Itecorder Summers and Counsell or Field, when the case of the fair but frail Jennie Gleeson was on the tapis, and when the cae was closed, and ihe recorder sim ply fined the accused, the Counsellor pro tested against Ihe act as nn outrage on public justice. Having slept over the mat ter, tho Recorder took his sent on the fol lowing morning (yesterday,) and the Coun sellor took spiritual consolation. Eventn aly, the Counsellor took it into his head to go before the Recorder, and when there, he asked permission to make a motion. Leave being granted, he launched nut into a running commentary on what he wao pleased to consider the Recorder's il'egal act of the previous evening, whereupon tho Recorder told him to ' hold on." And so the Counsellor diJ hold on, in a srsnse dif ferent, howerr, from that intended by tht Recorder. This brought the blood to th Recorder's face, and the iro to his bile, ami bringing his knuckles down hard on tbo desk before birn, ho ordered the Counsel lor la be committed to prison for twenty four hours for contempt of court The Cotinwller here oberved that sine the present Recorder had been presiding, the court had . . . j " legitimate object of contempt; and then, snaiting nis linger at tin Recorder, he said, 'while clothed in your little brief Kuthoritj you may play after this fashion your fun lastics, tricks, but the time will como when I shall meet you on -qual terms, and then, I shall have my revenge, for I consider you to bo nothing but a d d jickass.' At this juncture the' Recorder abruptly adjourned the court, and springing from his magisterial tripod, appeared determined to visit the portly counsellor with a touch of the Lex Talionis. ; The counsellor, observing the rapid movement, said, I'm ready for you, but if you dare to lay a hand on me I'll kill you as dead ash ! t the same time draw- ing from under his vest as pretty u " bull dog" as ever drove a piece of cold lead through a fellow's bread basket. , The pohed bere interfered ; the Rerord er returned to his seat, and the' counsellor was conveyed to prison to purge himself of his contempt OlilTUARV.
