To obviate the admitted defects in steam navigation, the draughts aid models of several patents of great merit in naval architecture and machinery have been investigated by Gentlemen of science and nautical experience, to whom it has been satisfactorily demonstrated, that by the combined aid of the patents selected and the employ ment of propelling engines on the best principles, it is confidently anticipated that vessels combining benefits so superior will make the passage from London to Calcutta, by the Cape of Good Hope, (in despite of contrary winds and currents) in 50 days, and to the ports of the West Indies and America in 9 proportionate time ; and that the Company will, with such important advantages, divide a very considerable annual profit, the comparative ride being small, atid losses guarded against by the property being insured in London.

PARLI,IMENTARV PRUCEEDI GS. lIRU6E OF LORDS, JUNE 20. T!TE GARDNER PEERAGE. Mr. ADAM summed up on the evidence adduced in this awe against the claimant by the brat marriage, Henry Fenton Jadies, calling himself Gardner. He Contended that he could not be the son of Lord, Gardner, but of Mr. Jadies. The usual period ref gestation wa; - hiue months or forty weeks—a day or two before or after. The opinion of several eminent physicians supported him in that assertion, and the eases cited against left the question un touched. There was a physical impossibility that the child could have been Lord Gardner's, for he left this country in January, or early in February, an the child was born on the Bth of December. It was besides in evidence that a criminal intercourse had been carried on between Mrs, Gardner and Mr. ladies, previously to her going on board her husband's ship before be left this country, and it was plain that she was with child in July, when he came home. When she found that the ehild might be born so as to bring it within the proper period, she used every means to forward the d' livery by riding over the stones, &c. and she gave it out to the family that she was pregnant; hut finding, as the time drew near, that she could not be delivered in time, she denied the pregnancy, and said rh it She had the dropsy and spasms. Lord Gardner never slept with her after his return. On t i lle fl December, finding that she w .s near her-time, she sent for err brother, anal told hint to take o:ie Lord Gardner on the following day. On the night of the 7th, or morning of the Bth, she was delivered without her bus band's knowledge. Then there was first the concealment of the pregnancy, next of the delivery, and afterwards of the child, who was carried away privately, and brought up end educated as the son of Mr. Jadies. He was entered at Westminster, School as Jadies, and subsequently was put into a public office under the name of -ladies: The case of the Banbury Peerage was exactly in point, as if it had been got up as a precedent for this case, for there ;.viy Banbury married Lord Vaux, as Mrs. Gardner slid Mr. .la.'ies. ile concluded by trusting that the House would guard the purity of the Peerage, by not entertaining the claim of Mr. Jadies. Ile added that the preamble of the Bill for dissolving the marriage or Lord Gardner, stated that the child was not legitimate. Mr. TYNUAL objected to the preamble, as being that of a pri. vate Bill, and not therefore evidence. Mr. ADAMS said there was a saving clause. The LORD CHANCELLOR never knew of such a thing aa a saving clause in Divorce Bills, touching the legitimacy. The Bill was sent for, and The LORD CHANCELLOR looking at it, said, there were some words in it which ought to have been struck out, •• that Henry Fenton Jadies was not begotten by Lord Gardner." These could not be received as evidence, being in the preamble of a pri vate Bill to which the claimant was no party. Mr. TYNDAI. was then called on for his case, and asked what be meant to prove ? He said that he had witnesses to prove that the period ef gestation was longer than stated, and he prayed for time. The LOlt D CIIANCEI.LORsaid,that it was very proper that these Medical Gentlemen should be called forthwith, because it might be necessary to call back the other Aletlical Gentlemen, who differed with them in opinion, in order to contrast them. In a week medical men could be had front England and t'cotland. The Earl of LA UDERDA LE said, that a steam-boat would bring up as many accoucheurs front Edinburgh, in three days, as Learned Counsel might choose to have—( Laughter) or even front Paris. The Earl of LIMERICK said, they could (men be got from Dublin in a shorter ;Triod than from Edinburgh. Tne LORD CIIANCRLLOR said, that as Doctors might die as well as other people, it was most important to have those ex amined who were to come, in order to confront th.zin with those all eatly examined. BAUGA NY CAusto'. The LORD CHANCELLOR proceeded to give juJgment in this case With his ustrd t.cctfracy and tbs‘inctriess,ll4 Lordship de tailed the procedure, co::clusions of the summons, nature of the defences and arguraents,pro and con. both in the former action, as l it then stood on different grounds; and. on this the new action brought by Mrs. Follett:sr, that resting on grounds different from the former. The Judgment of the House of Lards in 1801, wherein the title to purse; and title to exclude, were considered and settled; and the action as at 1816. His Lordship referred to the opinions of the Judges in the division where the cause was tried and to the collected opinions of the whale consul!ed Judges, thirteen being of one opinion and two of another; and these two, Lords Robertson and Craigie, whose opinions he had attentively weighed with the re.t. In all cases, their Lordships were to look to the opinions of Judges, pot from majority or number alone; but whether they best unfolded justice and the law of Scotland. Thus he had weighed and considered the opittioni on the.prosent occasion ; and Upon the whole,* their Lordships, he would propose, ought to aflirm the Interlocutors of the Court of Session in this im portant cause, on the ground that, by the legal construction and effect of the deeds in question, which Mrs. Fullerton, however, had challen ;ea, such Interlocutors embraced the correct view in point of law and justiceofthecause. _ _ The liar; of LA UDER DA LE could not avoid addressing their Lordships, merely to say how heartily he agreed in all that had been stated. A great concourse of persons attend below thi Bar On this as on former occasions when the cauas ryas b ear d. Counsel were heard in part i■ the.Apyeal D'Arcy v. Kelly. The Earl of LAUDERDALE presented a Peritiim from an individual of the name of Brodie, who had been employed oh the Journals of the House, and prayed for reniun.•ratiou.—Laid_on the table. Mr. TiLuton-, from the Tax Office, presented an account of the expenses incurred under the Act for the Sale and Redemption of. the Laid Tax in I tid on the table. Ur.

Repeal Bill, the King's Bench Offices Sale Abolition the Goods Warehousing Bill, nd a number of 2iivate Bills, which w e re re ad a first time: COURT OF CIRANCRRY. E it GROSVENOR held a Pctition from an ; n- • -vg dividual of the name of Gurael ,ss ho •iriptan." of the delays which occurred i t the C•Hart of Chan* eery. As there was a Coatmissi n no • engaged :n an extensive inquiry into he cause of those delays, (L'nd Grosvenor) should say not-i , g u on the subject, except that whenever it should .coo e before the consideration of Parliament, it would be a most ippon= question. The Petitioner also complained of a Rule of Court, by which a person entitled to an annuity was to rcc lye no intere4 ror it, however long its payment might be delayed by the proceed ins of the Court. The accumulation of money which must ensue from the observance of that Rule, might be conside e I as rendering delay a matter of Interest. He moved that the Pe.ition he read. . The LORD CHANCELLOR had objr•ction whrrever to the Petitkn being received: on the con t rary, he was happy that it I , ad been submitted to their Lord hips consideration, as it woull give them some insight into the nature of most of the complaints made against th ; delays of the C :urt of Chancery. The case to which the Petition referred was the succession of the late Duke - of Queensberry. After his death the validity of a number of leases had become doubtful, and befOre the will could be executed it was necessary to ascertain what was the real amount of the property, lf which those leases formed a considerable part. Va. ions suits ' had been instituted in the Court of Session ;n Scotland, which, after long proceedings, had been dere'rmined in a manner which had caused appeals to that House,and till it had been finally dec;ded what-were the rights of parties and the amount of the property, it was impossible for the Court ofChancery to dispose of the money. Of all the cases in which delay hat been imputed to that Gourt the present was the most unreasonable. With a view I to the relief of the suitors, he had been called front time to time by the tenants to state what was the probable amount of the assets; but . the information h a d not b een produced. Let his life an d charar!er Le lost sight of as respectable, if a single Counsel in the Court of Chancery did not say that, with respect to this cause, more had been done in that Court than had ever been done lit fore. With respect to the Rule of Court, if it were wrong, let their Lordships remember that it was not in the power of the Judge to alter the law, but that it must be done by another autho rity. That Rule, however, had been farmed by the ablest men who had ever sat in that Court, and no man who had since filled their place, had conceived that it ought to be changed. As to this particular cause, he should repeat, more had been done for it than for any other during half a century, and the conduct of the Court had been most praiseworthy. E rl GROSVENOR said, that ete Petitioner chiefly complained of the hardships crea ed by the Rule, cf which no doubt could be entertain al Their Lordships must knew that this was a case which had co: t.naed for t:n years.— During the whole of that time had the Petitioner been kept out of his annuity; and if he, or any other individual should be similarly kept out during ten, twenty, or thirty. years, the great hardship was, t' it at the end of that period, they would not only receive no compound interest, but no interest at all. The case was by no Means settled now, so that the Petitioner might wait much longer. Lord REDESDALLE stated, that the Coen - mission had nothing to do with the Rule of Court. It could not alter the law any more than the Chancellor. As to the delays-which occurred, how could the Court pay either interest or principal, when a testator created nurnterless difficulties by his own will ? He was one of the Members of the Commission appointed to inquire into the cause of those delays, and he must say, in vindication of the Noble and Learned Earl, that they were created by the practices of that Court, he meant by the Solicitors thems e l ves , w h o pro d uce d them, an d they were the persons who clamoured most against his Noble Friend.. • Earl GROSVENOR had not said .tnything ab- . surd as that the Commission could alter the law. Whit he had said, he should repeat : it was appointed to inquire . into the whole system of the Court of Chancery, and If, in its Report, ic should point out the Rule as one which created unnecessary hard ships, it would then be for Parliament to alter the law. He cansi dered the Commission bound to lay every part of the system of Chancery open to the public. Lord REDESDALE said, that the Noble Earl de ceived himself, if he thought that the Commission had anything to sio with the payment of interest. That wai a question of law which had been decided by an appeal to that House, and the only way to alter it lutist he to introduce a Bill for the purpose. Earl GROSVENOR said, that if the Commission were not so comprehensive as it had been imagined, it was a great misfortune - that it should have been issued. He had heard it. said that the individ.aals chosan as Commissioners were not exactly those who ouch( to have been appointed, but he would not. enter into the auestion at present. The Earl of L A UDE RDA LE was understood to defL:nd the Rule of Court, and to state that the Duke of Queensberry had so involved h:s affairs as to render it extremely difficult to ascertain the right amount of assets and of claims. The LORD CHANCELLOR repea•ed his sitisfac lion that the Petition should have bren pre•ented. It was natnial that the Petitioner should wilt to receive his annuity ; and he (the Lord Chancellot ) could meet the question and say, at the end of a long life, that he had never meant to do wrong. The Nab'? and Learned Ea:l tht n went into the history of thecae. He desci ibed - the involved state in which tbe Duke of Queensberry had let his large property, the suits to it had given birth in the Courts of Session in Szo land; C`e long time employed by th' m ; the, differences of opinion which had prevailed, and the Appeals which had isen in con equence of those dill-rt duces, after the Court of Session-had given judgment. He showed the length of time occupied in hearing and deciding those Appeals, sonic of them against -the opinion of the grates I.wyers in Scotland, thong!' they vie:e a•ter. %tads found to be correct according to the law. He 'eflated that t':e Court of Chancery had never le; deci ion of the Court of Session in Scotland slip without doing instantly what could be done for the relit fof the sui.ors. More in fact had been done for this cause than pot any other before. Yet it was natural for bid vidaals to present p ti ions, and they afforded opportunities for rescuing the Court from the load of calumny thrown upon it by those who did nil undeistand the n iture of the ateged complaints. With respect to the Rule of Court, the Chancellor could not settle the questiol. It might be fair to ask him, if you thought it wiong, why not bring in a Bill to alter it? To this the answer would be, that be thought it perfectly right. There wis,nothing in • the law which empowered the Lord Cha`nettor to give interest where the testatoi hintse.f baditorgiven it. The law, on the contrary, attt , t take it that was not his intention to give it. liNides, how . cou:d the Court be expected to pay interest when it woo-not IsaS k srn whether there would be money enough to pay :he capital?
