THE INDIAN ARCHIPELAGO. SINOAPORE. FEARFUL PIRACY AND MURDERS. • Our co rrespondent, writing under date Bin/spore, Feb. 3, f ur nishes the subjoined harrowing details titter , cases of piracy and murder in these seas : After the departure of last month's mail to y u rope, a n expedition, consisting of her blejesty's p lo p tk•opattu , and the lion. Company's steamers temiremis and Pluto, sailed for the coast of Borneo, t o relish the pirates up the Kinibetangan river, concerned in cutting off the trading schooner Dolphin. and the murder of Mesons. Burns and Ro b er tson. It is probable this nest of Illanoon and Noy pirates will be deetroyed—a step ve hick ought to have been taken many years since. Two recent instances of vessels being cut off have been brought to our notice within the last few days; in one in stance the vessel was cut off by her crew, and in the other by l'hinew coolies emigrating to South America. On January 27th the English barque Victory, be longing to Messrs. Wilson and Cook, of Bermondsey, Leidon. arrived at Singapore, in charge of the chief °deer. Mr. View. aith intelligence that tee meter and some of the crew had been foully murdered by the 'hin passeiee.rs on board, and that for several weeks the mere complete masters of the vessel. It appear- the Victory left Cum - Sing - Moon with 330 Chinese. the very refuse of the streets of Cantou and l e, nie le,ing. Four days after eddies, and when new halo Supatu, whilst Captain Mullen. mss walk ing on the poop, at between '.. and 3 in the afternoon, he was wiacil ley a parte of Chinese, who inflicted a wo re wound on his henel :he mail., his way up the r i gg i n g, but was overpowered and brutally mar. t i me s The mate, named Animal°, endeavoured to rescue the master• and was also murdered, as also the woe and one of the seamen—the latter actually cutting his way from the forecastle to the poop. The crew „ ere c butlyin the forecastle, and were hemmed by the theme.. The chief mate was aloft, looking out for the land he was motioned to descend on deck. and ,einmandiel to sail the vessel for the nearest land. By this time the mutineers had pos sessed themselves of the arms chest, and were com plete riuwers of the ship. The ringleaders took pos se. ion of the cabins, and did whatsoever they pleased. .1 per:ion of the Chinese landed at Pule phi, a small island at the entrance of the Oulf of Siam, taking with them plunder from the vessel. m a ny tights took place among the madmen; themselves. arising out of their gambling tran sactions on board. and several were killed ; ethers who were obnoxious were thrown over board alive. The ringleader, Ah•mang, a des perate charaece, and the winner of the principal stake was tied hands and feet, cut at with cutlasses, sad thrown into the era. Every day the European crew were apprehensive that their lives would be taken ; and on one occasion they all quitted the ship, ander pretence of capturing native trading vessels for the Chinese, but after being absent eight days, with scarcely any food or water, and being repulsed wherever they attempted to land, they returned to their vessel, and navigated her along the coast of Cambodia, where the remainder of the Chinese were landed. On one occasion some of the Chinese at tempted to destroy the vessel by firing her. The Victory is the fourth vessel bound to South America which has been cut off by Chinese coolies proceeding as passengers. These frequent occurrences ought to teach those engaged in this eoolv trade a lesson; indeed, it is high time the Englisli government in terdicted a traffic but ono shade removed from the horrors of the dare trade. "The circumstances attending the next cue are far more revolting, involving the total loss of the vessel, and the murder of all the Eampeans on board. In this cue the parties implicated are in safe custody is her Majesty's gaol, baring been brought on here by the Dutch steamer a few days ago. fhe fact of a vessel having been cut olf by her crew near the Straits of Sunda was known here a month or two s r , but the name of the newt (Arid), and other circumstances, induced most persons to believe thin It was mere rumour.

As before stated in the Andy New, I Mr. J.O. Menhall declines the request of the liberal elec tton to seer himself again, principally on the ground of ill health. Sinn the d e t erm i na ti on of the hon. gentleman be emu known, the committee appointed at a mating of the li t bend demon, hare been en the look-aid for e ruitable Ingo. for Sir Oth. Goodman, who had previous.y complied with the wishes of the electors, to allow himself to be fist in nomination. On Tuesday evening a crowded meeting the liberal electors was held in the Moak-hall, for the panes. of considering the qualifications of the Right Hon. Mr. T. Benet, the late president of the poor-law board, and at present one of th e members fur Hull. Mr. Aldermen John Wilson presided, and the committee stated that they had come to the usaninsous determination to recommend the liberal elector, to nominate Mr. M. T. Baines. Mr. Councillor Marshall gave an account of an interview he, as one of a deputation, had had with Mr. Raines. The right hen. gentleman intimated that be had had some hesi tation about going into r prliament again ; but if he could be of any see in carryin °tweed great principle., he would waive his personal f ee into and obey the all made upon him by the people of Leeds. Ile expressed himself as a most decided free-trader, and spoke of the policy adopted as having been highly b ene fi c i a l to t h e pu bli c, and impera tively called for by the wants of the people. H. approved of the general principle In Lord John Bee ' sell's Reform Bill, but took exception to some of its details, particularly the retention of the clan or nomi nation borough., which he considered the great blot in the Reform Bill of 1832. As to the extension of the suffrage, be was in favour of going to the extent of the municip .1 franchise at once, but was in favour of shortening the period of residence (two year. and eight months) now Te• quired to give a vote in municipal matters. As to the ballot, he had but he admitted that there was a strong feeling in its favour, and ,further experience might effect changes in the views entertained both by himself and other politicians. This exposition of the right honour able gentleman's political views was received with much favour by the meeting, and on the motion of Denton Lepton, Esq., seconded by John Wilkinson, Esq., a rens lawn ou adopted, with only two or thre e d issen ti ent ., calling apon Mr. Baines to allow himself to be nand noted as a candidate for the representation of the borough, in conjunttiou with SirQeorge Goodman. The whole of the proceedings were characterised by the greatest unanimity; an election committee was appointed ; and preliminary steps taken fur holding an aggregate meeting of the liberal electors on Monday evening next, to he attended by both the Liberal candidates, Baines and Goodman. The tones of Leeds have not up to this moment evinced the slightest indication of their intenti on s, Th e f act is that the liberals of all shades of opinion, from the high whig down to the chartist, are se thoroughly united in support of their twe I candidates, and the register contains so large a majority of , liberals, that it is generally believed that the tories vril not venture to contest the borough at the next election. LIVERPOOL. —At noon, yesterday, a meeting of the Liverpool Constitutional Association was held in. the • Clarendon Rooms, to consider the propriety of presenting I a requisition to William Forbes Mackenzie, Esq.,one of the Secretaries of the Treasury, and Charles Tuner, Esq., the chairman of the Liverpool Dock Trustees, inviting them to become candidates for the representation of Liverpool on the occasion of the next general election. The chair was taken by Edmund Molyaeux, Esq., and a requisition to the above purport was moved by Francis Shand, Esq., ' banded by Samuel Holm Esq. la support of the no am, Mr .

(Applause.) After setae , other addresses, in which it was elicited that Mr. Forbes Mackenzie had repented and regretted a vote he formerly I pre a support of the Maynooth endowment, an explana ties which was deemed perfectly satisfactory to the meet ing,—and a repudiation of the usurped influence of the , llsaehester men, who, it was alleged by Mr. Samuel Hole, thought, by shaking their purses in the focus of the people, to control tha administration of the affairs of the ensatry, the requisition ern adopted, signed by about • 201 persons, and a vote of thanks having been paned to Use chairman, the meeting separated.

At that tints we were sailing on a wind order double-reefed topsails, mainsail and jib, but we immediately put on; more gall and worked up to windward, until at three o'clock In the morning we had got so close to the wreck that flakes of fire fell en our deck. We sailed round the vessel, which was then a frightfid mem of dame, without being able to discover any trace of boat or human being., and, although a strict look-out was kept with this view, both on deck and from the tops, all our efforts were fruitless. After this we kept by the wreck at • little distance till the day broke, but at seven o'clock a.m. an ctploaion took plus, after which nothing more was to be seen. We thcrrtore pursued OUT soya e.

(Fres tin Daft Nom) The unconstitutional resolve of the DIRBY minis• to oarry on the business of the country with a Howe of Commons in which they have only a mint)• rity has scandalised even the tories of the old school. Tho very Morning Post cries tie upon them. Yesterday that journal read them a sen sible lecture on the enormity of their conduct in seek ing to evade an immediate appeal to the country. The Earl of Dam and his CHANCELLOR of the EICHKQUER for they are rather chary of allowing any of their colleagues to speak—think they have said enough in palliation of their attempt to govern by a minority, when they have told us that their elevation has been none of their seeking. The asser tion is simply untrue. They have laboured hard to get in, though their opponents were not polite enough to wait till they were knocked down, but gave way, with a comparatively whole skin, when they saw further resistance was hopeless. lint, granting that they did tell the truth, to what does' their excuse amount? Lord form RUSSELL and his colleagues, left in a minority in the House of Commons. resign: and ter their sovereign that the most natural and proper per son to send for, in the present state of parties, is Lord DEBBY. This is no more than all beaten minis ters do. Nobody before Lord DERBY and Mr. Dis- RAELI ever thought of pretending that ex-ministers by recommending the calling in of their rivals thereby bound themselves to observe an srmed neutrality tow.rds them. It has always been understood that ex-ministers are the material' to make oppositions of, and that the first thing they do on going out is to make preparations for getting in again. When Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his colleagues gave up to Lord DERBY and his friends the vantage ground ot office, it was quite understood they would immediately renew the contest from their less favourable position. It is sheer drivelling to cry out because they do not allow those whom they have reluctantly allowed to get into office to enjoy it in peace. But when complaints are made of the unconstitu timid proceedings of the Hexer ministry, in at tempting to 'govern by a minority, Lord JOHN RUSSELL and his colleagues are not the only parties who have a right to complain. Nor are they the parties who have the greatest right to complain. 'The offence of Lord DERBY against the country is much greater than his offence against the ex-minis ters. It is the country that is aggrieved by his violation of the constitution ; and even though Lord DERBY'S argumentuni ad hominens were conclusive against Lord JOHN RUSSELL, wh a t excuse can he offer to the country ? Ever since the revolution of 1688, the constitu tional doctrine received and acted upon has been that the ministers of the crown who canuot command a mejurity in the House of Commons, must resign. With the crown resides the right of calling to its councils any individuals or party within the king dom. With the House of Commons resides the right of negativing the proposals of any ministers in whom it has not confidence, and thus leaving to the crown the option of seeing the public business brought to a stand, or changing its advisers. It is possible that a majority of the House of Commons may, in acting thus, be animated by motives of faction and selfish ambition—may aim at depriving the crown of ad visers to whom no reasonable objection can be made. To prevent this, the crown has it in its power to ap peal to the people against the decision of a factious House of Commons by a dissolution and re-election. But when the people by their use of the elective franchise, have on such an occasion confirmed the decision of the House of Commons, this is received as a proof that the opposition to the ministers of the crown has not been factious, and the sovereign and his advisers must part company, however unwilling they may be. Such are the means that have been had recourse to for preventing such fatal collisions between the crown and its subjects as preceded the revolution. Practically the crown has the nomination of the great officers of state, and the House of Commons—as representing the people—has a veto upon that nomi nation. Before giving way to the veto, the crown has a right to try whether the House of Commons has really expressed the views and wishes ot the people, by sending its members back to their consti tuents. Accordingly all ministers, wing or tory, have, as soon as they found themselves in a mino rity, resigned at once, or had immediate recourse to a dissolution, and resigned if the elections went against them. Lord DERBY and his CHANCELLOR of the Excite- QUER affect to deny this, and rake up some musty precedents of ministers left in a minority cdntinuing to transact parliamentary business for some time be fore they resigned. But closely examined, and rightly understood, all these precedents amount to no more than this : that certain matters of routine sessional business, required to be carried through parliament—that to have dissolved without winding up those matters of routine sessional business would have thrown the whole business of the State into confusion—that therefore, by common consent, the dissolution was postponed until they had b e en c o n- I eluded. But Lord DERBY asks something very different from such reasonable and necessary delay. He pro poses to introduce a spiel and spin new measure of =taryshange. He proposes not only to dis til. Albans, but to call into existonee leer sew mestinerneies to supply the gap left is Ike reptiesaledea by the 81'pp/canon of that and fkilituly. He proposes to re-organise militia. The minister of the minority , proposes to introduce sew immures, 'to initiate new Uses of =tinsel policy, to do—without the can tle's/see and nankin of the . people—all that the mint esteemed and beloved minister could do with their mosties. His appointment to °Moe is as yet oily behests or incomplete; he has been presented' by be erown to the nation, but the nation has not yet Ma. Until isisOsalsl a j s he nat are ion his seat dowel, pare usurpations of an authority that doe" not 'belong to him. Nay, the presumption is that, enas mesh as he cannot command a majority in the el Um roes, the people have rejected him. Massa only prove this by a sumessful appeal to the VIVI,. Bhrinking hem such an appeal he con • that ho is aware of the illegal and unconstitu tional elarseter of his usurpation of the ministerial bastioee. Lord DERBY attempts to shelter himself under the gabardine of WIIIJAN Purr;--• shabby subterfuge for an ex-member of the Fox Club. He says that Pirr, when he succeeded the coalition ministry, continued for some time to act with a mino rity in the Haase of Commons. But how P Pirr gave battle almost daily to the hostile majority upon meanies of his own; at every succes sive division he Increased his minority; he gradually broke down, frittered away, dispersed the comp amen of the adverse majority, till he had fairly placed hie own policy before the country, shamed a great part of them sat of the field, and having thus made himself respectable in the eyes of the people and his &deeming contemptible, he appealed to the nation to einem between him and them, between his policy and limits. Is this the semis that Earl DERBY contemplates? Nothing Ike it. He shuns debates and divisions, instead of asuelieg them. He seeks to filch seeming visisaiss, by_wesift to his adversaries their own menuns. Limbed of labouring to blason abroad his beam poloy, provoking discussion upon it, and in viting the people to support it, he seeks to conceal vial It is, and sneakingly professes to be willing to adopt any line of policy his good masters, the people, may be pleased to proscribe to him. Such fawning, wheedling parasite' in the hour of weakness have ever proved tyrants, if allowed to grow strong. In fact, Lord DERBY and his colleagues have taken • leaf out of the book of tte French President. M. BONAPARTE has created a sham representation of the people, but be dare not trust even this his creature with the task of legislation. He is hurrying to enact a multiplicity of laws before it can meet, and even so Lord DERBY. His lordship is beating about for means and devices to pack the next House of Commons. But afraid to trust even a house of his own packing, ho is trying to persuade the present house to do some of his dirty work befonxit meets— for example, to dispose of the unappropriated repro venteione. Give ministers a fair Mal indeed! Have they not been sufficiently tried already to let us know what is in them P They avow that they VI ill re-establish direct protection for rents if they can, and smuggle in some equally mischieV am substitute if they cannot. They avow that they have it in contemplation to subvert unsec tarian education in Ireland. They are preparing new devices to coerce the savage conspirators who mislead the Irish peasantry, and at the same time to uphold the unjust laws that have driven these despe radoes mad, and that, unless abolished, will reduce many good men to their level. They are seeking time to organise the means of packing a subservient Hou•n of Commons, that may abet and uphold their misr ule for seven long years. And in the meantime they are trampling under foot the constitutiJu ; exercising the power delegated to them by a reluctant SOVEREIGN, although they shrink from asking the indispensable confirmation of their title by the people. WEST INDIA AND MEXICAN MAILS. The Great Western, Captain Woolley, arrived at Southampton this morning, with the West India and Mexican mails, under charge of Lieutenant Ashley Lasondie, Admiralty agent. Her dates are :—Santa Martha, Feb. sth ; Tam pioo, 7th; Chagres,loth ; Panama, 10th; Demerara, 11th ; Serbia', 11th ; Vera Cruz, 12th ; Ciwthagena, 12th; La Oisayrs, 12th; Puerto Cabello 13th; To bago, 14th; Nassau, 14th ; Trinidad, 15th% Grenada, 16th; Carriacon, 16th ; St. Vincent, 16th ; Tortola, 16th; Barbadoe, 17th ; St. Lucia, 19111; Martinique, 18th; Dominica, 18th; Guadaloope, 18th; Antigua, 18th; Montserrat, loth; Nevis, 10th; St. Kitts, 10th; Jamaica, 19th ; Porto Rico, 23rd ; St. Via! mas, 23th. Particulars of Specie.—Specie and bullion on mer chants' account from Tampico, 601,931 dollars; ditto front Vera Cm; 438,667; specie and bullion on ac count of Mexican dividends, 74,101 ; total amount in dollars from Gulf of Mexico, 1,114,649; specie (in gold) from the Pacific ports, 17,289; specie and bul lion from California, 296,341; ditto from Cartha gena, 40,000; ditto from Jamaica, 12,414; ditto from other parts of West Indies, 44,680 ; total value brought by the steamer, of which 1,117,173 are in silver, and 408,530 in gold, 1,622,7114 dollars. Among her passengers (sixty-three in number) are Edward Thornton, Req., secretary of legation to the Mexican embassy; Lieut. Grant, 16th Iter h . Ac and family, front Jamaica; Capt. Barazier, from C res; Baron Von Rader, and Dr. Stiell, R.N., from St. Thomas; Assistant-Comm' - General Williams and lady, from Trinidad ; Mr. Donald/lOn, from St. Vincent; Lieut. L'Ectrunge, R.A., Lieut. Thompson, 67th Regt., and Capt. Jackson, from Barbadoes. In Mexico quiet reigned. The revolutionary movement on the northern frontier had been quelled, but Carbajal (not " Curavajal," as the papers gene rally have it) had been endeavouring to assemble some followers at Brownsville, on the left bank of the Rio Bravo. His proceedings, however, were stifled in the bud by the authorities of Texas. Much excitement has arisen in Matamoros and its neighbourhood, by the order issued from the general government, for again putting in force the ancient tariff, even with regard to the goods importcd,on the faith of the reduced tariff of General Araks ; but it was not believed that the authorities there would be able to carry into effect so monstrous a measure. Congress at Mexi^o was in the meantime deliberat ing upon the reduction of the tariff, but the intrigues of those interested in the cotton factories were in full play, and seemed likely to prevent the prohibitions being raised, or the duties reduced on cotton goods. The new law increasing the export duty on "s p ecie" from 31 to 6 par cent. oame into force on the 4th February. This ill-advised scheme will undoubtedly incresse the smuggling of that valuable article of Mexican produce, and probably diminish its branch of the revenue. On the 13th January Vera Crux was visited by a " norther, " of almost unexampled violence and of truly di sastrous effect. Out of 22 vessels at anchor under the lee of the Castle of San Juan d'Ulloa, 14 were driven on shore and totally lost. Of their stews 13 men lost their lives. When the Great Western arrived on the 18th d February, eleven of the unfortunate vessels were lying, within a circuit of half a mile, in all the sta ges of wreck and destruction —totally abandoned and fast breaking up. Everything was believed to be in sured, but goods to a very large amount were destroyed, and the Mexican government were said to have lost by the disaster duties to the amount of 200,000 doles—the boadholders their proportion of the same.

Mr. Ledge Bland IRELAND. DUBLIN, MARCH 17. Lord Eglinton's first levee, yesterday, was nu merously attended, a great many persons of well known liberal principles Laving gone for the pur pose of paying a mark of respect to the Queen's ro presentative, however politically opposed to the new viceroy himself, and the conservative Flirty on their side, making a point of it to muster in the largest possible numbers. Hence it is that the attendance was much larger than had been seen at the castle since the visit of her Majesty to Ireland. There was a host of expectant clergymen, but only thrco bishops—those of Team, ()awry, and Ferns; no Roman catholic prelate or clergyman was to be found among the numbers. Among the titled per sons were the Lan of Charlemont and Lord Dun kellin. The Nurthern If `kg of yesterday haa the following note of Lord Naaa's movements : Yesterday , Lord Naas arrived at the Donegan Arran, Belfast. '1 he noble lord left town by the half-put 6 o'clock evi ning'a railway train, for Ballymena, aceom panied by Mr. }:vans ; and their distmation wa', said to be Coleraine. This is a rnug borough for his lorilship'e re treat ; and the independent preshyterians of the north may congratulate themselves on having kept Warm • seat fur one of Lord Derby's divhargid liverymen. Have the electors of Coleraine the spirit to imitate the true men of Kildare ? A large and respectable meeting wit.' held at Saintfleld, in the county of Down, on Monday, for the purpose of expressing an opinion in favour of Sharman Crawford's Tenant Right Bill, and of declaring the determination of the electors of that county to return Mr. Crawford and Lord Castle reagh as their representatives at the next election. The proceedings were unanimous and marked by a degree of enthusiasm. Captain Bellew, son of Fir M. D. Bellew, has commenced a most successful canvass in the county of Galway. Ile is the favourite of the priests, who are resolved to carry bis election against all opposi tion. The other candidates for that county, besides the sitting members, arc Mr. Gregory and the son of Lord Dunsandle. The conservatives of Armagh are confident of the success of their man, Mr. Ross Moore; but the selec tion they have made is quite unaccountable to every body else. Mr. Ross Moore is one of the last men at the Irish bar that a rational constituency would think of sending to parliament. Touching the representation of Dublin, the Eren• imp Nil asks:—" Where is Mr. Sidney Herbert? Where is George Roe? Why is not a requisition got up to either of these gentlemen ? We shall say no more at present—for it is possible—indeed, we have some reason to think it very likely—that in a few days we shall have something important to com municate 04 the natter." CHANCERY REFORM. A public meeting, called by the Chancery Reform Association, was held yesterday at Exeter•hall—Lord Emmen in the chair. The CHAIRMAN said that on a former occasion it bad been his discouraging task to offer to the consideration of the meeting the projects of Chancery reform which the Chancery Reform Association maintained without almost any hope of their being car r i e d i n t o e ff ect. Ile was de lighted now to take every di ff erent tune. He now f e l t t h a t he almost incurred the danger of feeling too triumphant, but nevertheless he was ready to encounter that danger. (Hear, hear.) The cause they had advocated was now avowed and adopted by the greatest men who were in a position to judge of its prosperity. lie would ask the at tention of the meeting to the resolutions which would be proposed, which were directed to the consideration of the manner in which the victory that had been obtained could be practically improved. • Mr. HUME, M.P., moved the first resolution : " That the Royal Commissioners appointed in 1860 to inquire into the process, practice, and system of pleading in the Court of Chancery having examined many parties most compe tent to give evidence on the subject, including the present Lord Chancellor, one of the Lori:* Justices of Appeal, some of the Masters in Chancery, with their chief clerks, several of the most eminent barristers and solicitors practising in the Equity Courts, with David Dudley Field, Esq., one of the conannasioners by whom the New York code of proce dure was framed, sad having unanimously reported that extensive and deep-rooted mischiefs arise from the present system, involving the utter denial of justice, and the ruin of the litigants and their families, this meeting is of opinion that so unqualified • condemnation, by the eminent men forming the commission, demands the imme diate application of a legislative remedy, one of the first duties of • government being to render justice attainable by all, without del a y o r ru i nous cost. " Ito was miry that be had not before attended the meetings of the Cbtheery Reform Association, of which he wee a member. bdl Se did so now with pleasure, to state fur the emethregemmit of those who like himself agitated for the Werth of public abuses, that there wee in this case a proof If the fact that wh they were right no opposition either of selfish views or Iguotance could uliimately prevail melinteinlag them. He was confident that selfish views and hiphosuati were the causes of the slowness of Chancery and law reform. It was gratifying to look at the progressive improvement of the country in sound sense slid justice, which would always prevail if proper means were taken to show that the objects sought by the reformers were useful to the country and advantageous to the parties concerned. It was satisfactory to know that at length the eminent men at the head of the legal profession had changed their opi nions sad hag become law reformers, but there were many slips between the cup a n d th e lip, and he would not bay, them relax their efforts in the smallest degree tall their object was accomplished : and he world urge on every one who had not hitherto been • Chancery reformer to become the now ; for it must be remembered that any one might be forted into Chancery, and their pro perty wasted and their health and happiness destroyed. He was glad that the labours of this automation had not beea in nth. Mr. W. CIIALLINOR, solicitor, of Leek in Stafford shire, seconded the resolution, and characterised Chancery as • system of litigation by which the settlement of disputes was deferred to the longest possible, or even to an indefi nite, period—by which the property of infants, lunatics, widows, and orphans was swallowed up, and a vast amount of property staked at a legal gambling table. The keystone of the present system was, that witnesses who should be 01111MiAlla bikes the judge who tried the cause, =trek evalethe in writing. After alluding at some to the prepseed aboliuon of the Menem' offices, else tZ apish end tate ether resseamendations the am he enasist led by swamies his gratification at alg e l ett the /Aisne( the Chisseeri Reform Association led set hesa battles. The ItUOMMes was carried unanimously. Mr. TRRLAWNEY, H.P., moved the second resolu- Intim That while this meeting is of opinion that much may be dose towards redeeming the Court of Chancery from the eidegay whisk sow justly attaches to it, by such seasedeteale is the peameat system as will render each evert, whether Of law or equity, competent to take *vi deos. ha the meat satillaatery way, to dispense with all un semonsirry parties to nit, to administer complete relief in . the awe whisk 611 Nader its cogaimutor, to abolish bills of reviver NA stapplammetal kills, warrants for hearings, states of fasts emit dames, °Mee copies, and objections to draftee( rapider W paerally to render the proceedings as sum mary as le compatible with due security to both parties, together with Ow extinction of the Masters' offices, meet of which is seeleuseeded by the commissioners of the crewn— it Is aloe soared that many of the evils incident to the pre sent system must necessa ri ly exist until the distinction be tween law and equity is aboli.hed, oral examination in the presence of the judge who tries the cause carried out, and jostles is in all cams administered by one court of saiversal jurisdiction—a practice which his been introduced into the United States with the happiest rmults." ' He said that looking at the present system re Chancery in a politico-economical point of view, it would be found to be injurious to the public generally, inasmuch as it was a great evil that a vast sum of money, amounting to 200 =idiom, should be withdrawn from the imunierce of the country. This injury operated on every class, for even the labourer was affected by the withdrawal of so mach capital from commerce. . . . . Mr . B. °uvular. seconded the resolution, which was carried unanimously. Mr. M. TURN'S moved, and Capt Sconsu., M.P., seconded the next resolution:—'. That the council of the Chancery Reform Association be requested to continue its proceedings, this meeting having seen with much satisfac tion that almost every one of its published statements, touching the enormities and cruelties of the present system of equity, has been conceded by the commissioners of the crown, as also most of the remedies formerly pro bg the council ; and being fully assured that the stn eholasg,r ...
