Baronet, that if the motion I to, he meant to follow it up by another that if any vacancy should occur in the a alluded to, no Master in Chancery a ppointed to supply it. Now, as to the appointing Masters in Chancery to form uch a Commission, his opinion differed m that of the Right Hon. Baronet, and e must oppose the motion.

RTNEY defended the conduct of the mmissioners. It was not the Clerks of Mancery who received the fees on the ad- Solicitors, but the Secretary of the Alas . ..

Mr. BROUGHAM'S Bill respecting the Abuses of Do nations for the Education and Maintenance of the Poor, met with cetnsiderable opposition last night in the House of Peers. The LORD CHANCELLOR pro fessed himself by no means hostile to the object of the would indeed have been strange if he had}—but he was averse to the means by which it wits sought to attain that object. His Lordship, wished to know what was ultimately to be done after the Report of the Commissioners shall be received— before one step was taken he must be apprised of the second intended—this, he said, was absolutely neces sary. He would not, however, object to go into the Committee, but, certainly without any intention of supporting the third reading of the Bill unless great alterations were made in it to meet the objections stated in our report of his Lordship's speech. Lord HOLLAND, in ar.swer to the LORD CHANCEL - • LOR, remarked that the Bill was merely for ixquity, and not to correct the abuses—which would be an after measure. The Noble Lord on the Wool-sack was remarkable, he said, for his acumen, but, he must say, more fond of picking holes in the Bills of others, than of introducing remarkably correct ones himself! In the Committee, the Bill received several Amend ments, one of which restricts its operation to Chari ties for Education. We are sorry that the inquiry should be in any way limited, but, even in its re stricted form, much good may come from it. We confess ourselves so dull that we cannot even conceive it possible that inquiry should disgust or vex honest Trustees. WE would seek no better evidence to con vince us that the Trust is, in some way, abused, than an evident reluctance on the part of the Trustee, to disclose any or every thing that relates to it. In the House of Commons, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER again repeated the statement he had made on the preceding evening, respecting the Fi nancial situation of the country. The Revenue, he said', was improving, at the rate of 100,0001. per week, and he saw no probability of being obliged to raise any money next year by loan. Mr. J. Swint moved for leave to bring in a Bill to alter and amend the Bankrupt Laws. He spoke at considerable length on the frauds and abuses to which the present system gives rise. In the course of the discussion that followed, much well-earned praise was bestowed on the labours of the Committee on the Bankrupt Laws. The general sense of the House was, that considerable alterations are impe riously called for; and a conviction seemed to pre vail, that much benefit would result from an adoption of the whole, or greater part, of the Scots Code re specting Bankrupts and the management of their estates. Yesterday the PRINCE REGENT held a Court, and, afterwards a Council; at the latter, the RECORDER made his report of the convicts under sentence of death ; and Captain MURRAY MAXWELL, of the At.- CF: was knighted, on being presented by Lord AMIIER'sT, on his return from China. The Land. grave of liesse-CAsseL had an interview. A little before twn o'clock yesterday , the Duke and Duchess of CAMBRIDGE arrived at the Queen's Palace, and the Duke had the pleasure of introducing his Duchess to her MAJESTY, who received her daugh ter-in-law with great affection. The Grand Duke MICHAEL arrived on the 14th instant at Hamburgh, whence he was immediately to embark for England. It is reported at the Bar that Lord ELLEHRoRoucti will immediately resign as Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, on account of indisposition, and that the VICE-CHANCELLOR will succeed him. Quebec Papers to the 3d ult. have been received. The Session of the Parliamer.t of Lower Canada closed on the Ist, with a speech from the Governor in Chief, expressing his satisfaction at the harmony that had marked the proceedings of both Houses, and the laborious diligence wherewith they had been conducted. He gave the Royal Assent to all the Acts passed during the Session, with the exception of three, which he reserved for tLe signification of his Majesty's pleasure. These were, an Act to re peal and amend certain parts of the 34th of the King, " for the division of the Province of Lower Canada, for amending the Judicature thereof, and for repealing certain laws therein mentioned," inasmuch as the same relates to writs of Habeas Corpus ; an Act for the Encouragement and Promotion of Education in the Country-parishes of the Province ; and an Act for t establishment of a Bank in the city of Mon treal. The Civil List Establishment has been voted by tae House of Assembly, upon nearly the same scale as of late years ; but not without some strong observations by several Members, and even by the Speaker, as to particular items, and pretty broad in timations that, next Session, the House Is ill minutely scrutinize this Establishment, and strike off, or place upon the Pension List, all Sinecurists ausi non-rest deist ()dicers. editoirATlON emi kEW KING of SWEDiM A itlifittiiih, Msll has brought us this itioiaing aii ieeciUnt at the Coiiiiiglaa of the New Kix° ttf $w- DIN, CHARLES JOHN, haiitig taken pkace Stock. holm on thd 11 th instant. The following are some Particulars of the ceremony : 44 STOCiltOille, " Yesterday the Comrades took place of ids Majesty, King Caesium XI V. Jam, in the great Church of at.

The Procession, which was extremely sombtald anti spkndiel, repaired to the Church, when the Archblehap Lam as= =minted his Majesty and placed the Swedish Crown en kit head. After the King had taken his place on the Throes, sad the Crown had been placed an hie head, by the Archbishop and the Minister of Justice, the Minister for Foreign Affairs and the Archbishop presented him the sceptre, globe, sword, and keys, the Archbishop each time malting a suitable addreSs. The Mar shal or the Kingdom then gave a sign to the Herald, who, as cending to the highest step of the Throne, procialmed—' New is Charles XIV. John. crowned King of Sweden and Gothland, end the Provinces thereunto belonging, be, and on 'thee— The kettle-drums and trumpets sounded, and thousands of voices exclaimed, tong live King Charles XI V.' Te Deem Was performed, and a saluted gill CILIUM fired, accompanied hp adliss ham all the battalions of troops. • " The William of Foreign Adikirs received the cad et the Crown Prince, who was kneeling before the Throne; afteritards all the ether high Nobility took the oath. and the procession re turned to the Palace at four o'clock in the afternoon. After the King had laid aside in the Palace the crown and mantle, and put on a short coat of silver stuff and shining with jewels, and a hat a la Sete{ h. with a megullicent spate, he mounted his hone and rode through the innumerable crowd, who every where received him with unceasing acclamations, to tae Royal Park, where he reviewed the troops assembled there; consisting of 21 Battalions, 25 Squadrons, and Artillery, which concluded the ceremonies of yesterday. To-day the Fete of the Queen Dowager will be celebrated. The Deputies from the Norwegian Diet have presented to the King an Address, in which they congratulate his Majesty , on his Coronation, and express the hope of the Norwegian Nation that they shall soon receive the King and the Crown Prince among them, and see the Norwegian Crown again placed on the head of a Hero." The Paris Papers of Monday arrived this morning, but are wholly destitute of interesting intelligence.—, The reigning Duchess of Saxs-Httonottnonatsau;l formerly Princess of MiCKLENBOURG-STRELIT; die& on the 14th instant, at the age of 48. The following Address, by the Jews of Leipsit, to their brethren of the same persuasion frequenting the fairs at Leipsic, has been published in the Ger-" man and Hebrew languages, and extensively circu lated throughout the Continent. The party which has been formed at Leipsic against the troller: of this persuasion appears to be very strong—the booksel lers, from whom we should generally expect as much liberality as from any other class of men, having re- . solved, by a majority of 101 votes to 10, that in fu cure none but Christian booksellers should be admit ted on their Exchange. Such a proscription as this, every person of just and liberal sentiments must con cur in regarding as most disgraceful to the character of the city and people from whom it has proceeded. The Jews affirm, and we believe not without suffi cient reason, that it has been mainly owing to . ffie persevering industry of merchants of their religion, that Leipsic has been raised to the distinguished rank it holds among the commercial cities of the Conti nent; and, should the attempt to transfer their inffit- Ince to another place, to which they are now driven by an ungrateful intolerance, be attended with success, , there can be no injury resulting from it which the, people of Leipsic will not, in the judgment of all un prejudiced men, have richly deserved : It is notorious that Leipsic owes its internal pros perity and riches to its commercial gains aloes ; without its fairs, this city would be at the most an insignificant country town. The most numerous vi-, sitors of these celebrated fairs, and those who make the greatest traffic in them, are Jews who resort from Russia, Turkey, and all Europe: without them these fairs might be compared to a body without a soul. With an intolerance which is wholly contra dictory to the liberal spirit of the age, a part of the inhabitants of Leipsic have again exerted themselves to seek out and to enforce a law' originating in the darkest intolerance of ancient times, that the Jews shall not be permitted to expose their goods to sale, except in a very confined part of this city (in itself but small) which is assigned to them. The noble-minded King of Saxony is not to be blamed for an intolerance which is to be exercised to wards the professors of the Jewish faith. It is the inhabitants of Leipsic themselves who, by the lapse of time, have forgotten by what means thousands of families in this little city must maintain them selves. Indignant that at a free fair, which, if not visited by our brethren, cannot and will not sub sist, the inhabitants notwithstanding attempt to insult and oppress them ; we hereby invite all our brethren to form an union for the purpose of respectfully petitioning the generous and tolerant Monarch of Prussia to allow two fairs to be annually held, at Easter and Michaelmas, at Naumburg, which is in the neighbourhood and more conveniently situated for fairs ; in return for which we engage entirely to abandon the fairs of Leipsic, and to assemble only at the fairs of Naumburg, under the pro tection and mild Government of Prussia. The Jewish inhabitants of Poland and Russia, out of true and sincere attachment to the adherents of their faith, and out of patriotism, will doubtless readily accede to the wish of their German brethren, that our desire may be fulfilled. A Berlin and Ham burgh house will willingly take the trouble, at the next Easter fair, of collecting signatures for such, union; and this good cause, which speaks for the in terests of humanity, requires no further recommen dation, except that we join ill imploring Goa for his protection and blessing.' ~ii~ ~ vEE~o: 'file general private aecodili bf her MAiicsiir yes= ierday evening was, The Qtrtith is going 01l !tiled, *a."

It Is professedly founded on the incidents of the Affair o f Fetaides. The disgusting circumstances of transaction are omitted, the age, charuter, motives, and . - uf the parties are changed, and other precautions taken tt vent its trespassing too much on the Criminal Calendar France. The imitation, therefore, chiefly consists in the Ines dent of the involuntary presence of a female at a murder, which, for the sake of her own safety, she enters into an obligation t xonceal. The interest is heightened by the circumstance, the murderer, who interferes to save the life of the heroine who answers to the Josessi , in of Rhoden), is her husband that the person assassinated is a previous lover, whom, by accusations, she had been induced to forsake. There was a ; device, for 'hewing the spegtators the mannerin which the was imposed, by means of rge mirror ;it tended to mat illusion more complete, et the same time less shocking.— The drama, founded on a recent uccurience, has been of cesaty hastily written. It was 'avow ably received till the cl when some disappointment seemed to be felt, from the interest which arose from the peculiar Incident not having been De enough kept up. There was, however, a majority in its fa There was some ttc...cl acting by MlAcar.aor, and a pitman dance by Uia•c* Ih4s>ast.
