So long as the body remains undecayed the poisoner is not safe. But let the corpse be burnt into a handful of white ashes, and thereby, with the disappearance of the danger of detection, the chances of impunity for the murderer are multiplied. We have delayed the issue of this number to publish the very important decisions of the Election Court in the North Victoria, Cardwell, and North Simcoe Cases. These reports will be invaluable to those concerned in the numerous Election Petitions to be tried this autumn, as they decide most of the points of importance likely to arise. We have been requested to strike off an extra number of copies, for the convenience of the profession, which can be had from the pub lishers. As these cases will not appear elsewhere, an early application would be desirable. Some others will follow, and we shall continue, as heretofore, to make Election Reports a specialty of this Journal.

J. HILLYARD CAMERON, : CURIE CANADENSES.* In this age of the world, the number of facts which ought to be retained in the memory of any one who pretends to be educated is so enormous, that those who seek to convey information in an attractive guise, which makes the task of remembering less painful, are justly looked upon as benefactors of the human race. We certainly owe a great deal to those wise teachers who have attempted to "popularize" various branches of learning to the scientists, metaphysicians, lawyers and theologians who have instituted the plan of dressing their subjects in the sprightly style which is essential to the modern magazine article. One of the most useful forms in which the desire to impart information to the many has taken shape, though by no means a novel one, is the clothing of dry and unromantic facts in the garb of poetry. There is little excuse for ignorance when the kings of England, the lengths of the months, the whole science of chemistry, nay even a portion of the laws of the land are reduced to poetry, which requires no effort to learn and remember. One of the most benevolent ideas ever conceived was that of Coleridge, who, sympathising keenly with the sufferings of youth in striving to master the Elements of Euclid, proposed to convert that useful work into verse. Unhappily the idea, like too many of that great man's ideas, was never carried into effect, and he has only left us a metrical version of the 1st Proposition of the 1st Book, to make us regret that the rest knew not the hand of the bard. What can be more admirable than this Curia Canadenses; or, The Canadian Law Courts: being a poem describing the several Courts of Law and Equity, which have been erected from time to time in the Canadas, with copious notes, explanatory and historical, and an appendix of much useful matter.
