tionaleharaoteristios.
' Great outcry bad been made agairist what is
'tartneti - covainun law and yet this was in reality
the only °lass of law which could ever be effectu
ally applied to the people; and so, because com
mon law was based upon the usages of the people.
Wo saw bow easy, it wan for °goo= to grow With
a people, and gradually become adopted as a kind
of second nature of the body politic.
- The early - settlers of this country, it was said,
Came here without a single graduated. lawyer
among them; and, although acquainted With' the
oodikettions of gngland, which had to some ex
tent superseded the common law, all those Actions
fell off,lu the practiOis of the people when they
bailie to these shores, just as naturally as leaves
fall from a tree. .
They established their local jurisdiction, which
had deioended to our own time, spa which had in
fact been in operation in England for the last one
hundred and fifty years.
Numerous instances wore here oiled to prove
that in all cases the customs of a people preceded
and formed the basis of their laws, and so it hap
pened that, in fact, the courts of a country were
the more exponents of its usages. In view of this,
the outcry against common law, and the futile
offorts,whieli had been made to avoid its uncer
tainty, by codification, were without a foundation
either in reason or common sense.
This position , was assumed first, because the
usages of a people were easily understood by the
masses; but no each
,stmplielty had ever yet ob•
tamed where a system of code had been attempt-,
ed, and the truth was, all suet% attempts tended
but to throw a veil of obscurity over what it
should be the object of government to bring
within the understanding end comprehension of
all. If, said the speaker, in ancient times there
bad ever been any adgentages derived from a
code at all, it was onlyTheoausa it had been a
ftithful summary of the known usages or the peo
ple for whom it was formed. It was these at
tempts to obscure law by investing It with what
it should ever ,be kept free from, that threw
around the profession so many mistaken notions
respecting it. Ho bad In hesitation In saying
that any young man capacitated to succeed in any
of the ordinary ypoations of life, was, if be ap
plied himself properly, equally qualified to suc
ceed at law.
He believed that down to the period of our
B.oroltition _there bad never been upon the On ,
promo Bench a single professional lawyer. The
last man prior to that period who ocoupled that
honorable position, he hollered, was a sugar baker,
or what was in this more refined ego called a su
gar refiner ; and be believed that engar-baker bad
been ono of the most effloient officers that bad ever
diled that dignified post.
The principle ho had flue laid down was true
both'in fact and in theory. If we went hack to
the commencement of society—if society ever had
oommenoement---a paint whieb the speaker was
inclined to fit at the period when the• first child
wiiilibrit,liapglihitFrwe should find whether,
4mens,,,ap_ibittharenitsibeitioLthlitniot... ,l,
,truKrise,simpie, early preitilootitins of the people
formed the rule from which their form of govern
ment grew. ', Within a hundred years of this date
It had been the custom of Ragland, when a point
of litigation occurred between merchants, to have
a jury of merchants to decide upon the evidence
elicited. •
The speaker here entered upon a hold and eco•
einot ruirraiionof the gradual progress of civili
sation, and the neoessity for new plarges of laws
which that progress developed.
The highest duty; of the lawyer wile to stand
between those whose ignoraice and passions were
liable to the tricks of litigants, on the one hand,
and the over-reaching rapacity of the nnsorupn
lour, upon the other.
The speaker here paid the high compliment to
the early lawyers of this country; of saying that
many of their arguments, whioh we had re.
Ported, were unsurpassed in olearness and strength
by 'any delivered since then, or at any former
period, in any part of the world.
An eloquent defence of the use of the jury was
here introduced. We frequently heard it said, of
late that juries had outlived their day of usefulness,
and that they had better be done away with,
and thus leaving the decision M a competent
judge alone. Ile advised his hearers to beware of
such Insinuations. The great use of juries was,
that, while either in England or America there
was any Anglo-Saxon blood remaining, no victim
amid be sacrificed in our courts either to the pan•
lion of a pepular prejediee, or to a determination oo
the part of the, Uovernment to crush en object of
its enmity, while a jury of twelve were invested
with power to thwart oppression.
lie remarked with great positiveness that nr,
more mope of Intoned was necessary for the legal
profession than was requisite to success in many
other pursuits.
We had many indleations that the study of the
law, even where it was not afterwards practised,
was of essential benefit to those who studied it.
Not a few of the most popular divines in this coun
try bad left the legal profession for that sacred
calling, and many merchants who, after gradua
ting at law, had, either from their modesty or some
other considerations, abandoned the profession,
had acknowledged to the speaker that the course
of studies it involved had been of much advantage
to thorn.
Among the lad thoughts which ho felt it im
portant to Impress war, that nnewerving integrity
should ever actuate the lawyer in all hie prorosaional
acts—integrity to hie client, to the court, to the
community, and to the State.
Upon the subject of compensation, the speaker
made a careful analysis of the principles which
should govern it.
An-apothecary who made up prescriptions was
at liberty to bring snit at law for payment : so, too,
a common attorney, in England, was allowed to
charge fees, rated at so much a line for written
documents, and so much for every consultation,
and compel the payment of the same by law. Not
es, hovieSer,lvith the consulting physician, Or lho
advocate at the bar; them wore not permitted to
compel payment by suit, and so for the wisest pos
sible reasons.
.The advice of a physician, for ex
ample, 1 6 / 4 valuable because of his knowledge of
the secret diseases under which his patient may
be suffering; and if he were permitted to compel
payment, the evidence necessary to sustain such
an action would result in exposing secrets—often
times detrimental to the reputation of his patient.
So of the advocate : were be permitted to vin
dicate his claims for' disputed compensation, .it
would necessarily involve the exposition of se
crets ihiet, bad been confided to him, that might
blast the character of parties, and no profession
would be countenanced in this community which
should lead to such faithless revelations, no mat
ter under what pretence. ' jApplause.]
As the orator procceded,lifs well-direOted irony
levelled at some of the ,assailable points of the
fraternity elicited much merriment. We, in this
country;preferred and practised oral"debate ; in
some Other countries written arguments were pre
ferred.

the officer made known his errand •the ut
most horror and Indignation was manifisted by
the Jews. They exolainied loudly against the
sacrilege of dragging a priest from an altar of the

Mr Norman (from the Third ward) read a very long
manuscript in defence of Mr. Connery.
Mr. Onyler also defended Mr. Connery from the
charge of fraud. He stated that the coal for the Dela
ware water works had been delivered as per contract
upon a remote wharf, from which large quantities of it
were constantly stolen; that a pile of coal ten feet high
had been pre/imitated into the dock by the breaking of
the fence', which'alone kept it in position; that Mr.,
Connery wee absent from the city most of the thus, and
that the coal was delivered by hie agents ; that at the

had himself first mentioned the fact, and that he was
no matter by the substitute. Mr. 0. went to Europe,
instructing his agent to faithfully deliver 2240 lbs. of
coal to the ton; in carrying out the contract with the
city.

ler, end mode a statement showing that over five hun
dred tone of coal had been missed, an amount too large
to have been opirited away.

for some time been taking coal from Mr. Connery. He
did not sign the report because of an Informality. .To
annul the contract would be euperfluoue, its the Chief
Engineer can at any time obtain a suspension of the
°entreat by makirm the nemsary application.
Mr. Poster explained that it was unnecoosary to
annul the contract, so tbecon , raot annulled Itself. The
power being in the Chief Engineer, the matter was set
at rest.
A resolution wee offered and adopted that the chief
euglueer of the water works be metrueted to adhere
to the atrlet letter of the contract, winch vhtually an
nuls itself.

DEXADNUL ADDIDENT AT THE NEW HOTED.— .
Yesterday morning; 'abon.b,half-past ten o'clock, the
new hotel., at the :southeast corner of Ninth sad
Chestnut streets, wee the Scene of a most painful acct. ,
dent to "two of: the workmen.. It appears that a mar
bar of workmen Were engaged In laying the stone work
in the front part of the building, a row feet above one
of the iron cornices fronting on Chestnut street, and
very near to Ninth street. ' A pair of light wooden
abeam had been erected for the purpose of raising the
blocks to their. proper elevation. The cheers had no
independent f• rindation, but rested on the joists of the
second story. At their apex some tackling was ette. ,
pended for the purpose of managing each stone. This
apparatus was held trio by what le knoka among the
workmen as a back guy. The guy wee strapped to the
idioms, from which*was impended the block, neared in
a tiling. In this sling, at the time, there wee a large
atone or coigne Weighing about two hundred Olinda. It
had been hoisted' to Its proper position; When "James
Twins, who was engaged -In building the wall, reached
over to pull the stone in towards him. He had takenhold of one leg of the !hears_ to steady himself, when
the /trap seeming the guy parted; and the shears fell
over into Oheetnut etreet, carrying with them that por
tion of the atone wall to which they had been secured.
The shears struck .Twirge on the held se he was
falling, and he f•ll buried in the mass of stone. Hia
skull wee broken, his neck fractured. and death ensued
almost immediately.' The other man was on the pave
ment, engaged In cutting stone,when the theirs struck
him across the body. fracturing hie skull - and breaking
his opine. Miriam was William Buckley, though he
was generally known by an assumed name of Martin
dale. Both Twigge and Buckley were Englishmen by
birth. The first was ti man of family, but Buckley was

- The body of Twisgs wee carried to', the Central Sic-
Lion where an inquest was held, Alderman Helfrlcht
acting for Coroner Penner Eleireral witneasis were ex,
amine. They all described The occurrence,- and they
all agreed that at the time the "rope gave way It
not enduring any greater strain than could have been
resisted by a stout man. The broken strap wee taken
before the jury and the general opinion appeared to be
that tt wee unlit for the purpose for whin it had been
Wended. - Several important witneeree were absent,
and in conneuerce the case was adjourned 'nutil this
morning at eleven o'clock, when the jury will meet at
the office of the Alderman, Sixth street. above Walnut.
Twigge , family resided near Twenty-third and Locust
streets. -
Buckley was taken to the Pennsylvania University,
where he received the utmost care, and the - beat medi
cal attendance All wan of no avail however, for the
unfortunate man lingered for a few LOWS, 'when death
relieved him from his anfforloge.
The principal thlog to be wondered .at la that the
affair did not result more disastrously, as that portion
of Chestnut street in which it occurred le, a. a general
thing, mueb frequented by promenaders, and more par
ticularly about the time of this occurrence. As it was,
an omnibus Which was passing at the time wee streak
by the falling shears, but was not damaged. The driver
saved his life by leaping from the box.
