THR GARDNER PEERAGE. • . - The cross-examination of Dr. Granville was this morning resumed. Previous to the examination, the Learned Doctor gave 1101111 t partial dissertations on the merits of his register of the 9000 capes of pregnant women. In this register there was a formula of ahont thirty questions which are put to the pregnant Lady relative to her immediate situation, and the whole history of her married state, previous to her admission into the Lying-in Ilospital. The Earl of LAUDERDALE wished to have all the questions reed in each case adduced by the Doctor,and the answers of the Lilly. Dr. Granville then said, that be had eight different cases which came within the object of the present inquiry—some of them from the register, and others from his private practice, but he wished to observe, that the case of his own Lady did not come within his private practice, as had been stir posed, but within his private know ledge—(Laughter). The Doctor then began with the case of Eli sabeth Chapman, who had been admitted into the Westminster Dispensary in a pregnant Ftate. As he proceeded with the questiocs 'and answers, the Karl of Lauderdale had some private conversa tion with the Attorney-General; after which The Arrortxxe-Gx.sattat, on the part of the Crown, took an objection to the course of examination, en the ground that it was contrary to the rule of evidence that a witness should detail the answers of another party, because the woman might be brought to the Bar of the House herself. In the present case it appeared that the woman could not answer the question at what time she quick ened, and he submitted that the evidence, which was merely se 'condary, could not be admitted. 1 After some discussion, it appeared that the Westminster Genets.) ' Dispensary does not take in women, but attends them at their own habitations, and this explanation smoothed some of the difficulties started to particular questions. The Doctor then referred to some cases in the register, but several objections were again taken to their admissibility, on ac count of the entries not being in the baud-writing of the witness, but in that of his pupils. Their Lordships were of *pinion that the evidence could not be admitted. APLAN for the INCREASE and IMPROVEMENT of the BREED of SUPERIOR HORS'.

Cadell, Strand, London. r The necessity of giving to the public additional convenient Wet Dock and bonding accommodation near the seat of busiress in the Port of London, and of securing to it a reduction in the rates and charges, has Pont been experienced. Moderate rates upon the landing, housing, rent, shipping, &c. of goods, are essential for the purpose of bringing this port nearer to a level in paint of expense, sot only with the other ports of the Empire to which the privilege of bonding is extended, but wore particularly with the principal ports of the continent of 'Europe; which, in consequence of their lower charges, attract a very large proportion of the trade of transit, which would otherwise resort to London. Mr. TYNDAL then submitted to their Lordships decision, and said, that in consequence of the sudden turn which the case took, be should be under the necessity of shaping his course cbfferently : He now prayed for further time to enable him to call those persona forward to give evidence in their own persons, and then Doctor Granville's evidence might be further gone into. The prosperity which cannot but attend that lucrative branch of commerce, under the improved commercial code of the country, especially if accompanied by a diminution in the port charges, muu be apparent from the great increase which, even under existing circumstances, has already been experienced, since the passing of the Warehousing Act in July, 1823,-i—tour-lifths of which increase has been enjoyed by the port of London. . The London Dock is the only general bonding establishment three miles and a half from the Royal Exchange, and that establishment does not afford accommodation for the increase of trade which has already taken place; still less, therefore, can it provide for the additional extent of business that may confidently be expected to flow out of those enlightened principles of legia lation which are so eminently calculated to promote and extend the commerce and navigation of the British Empire, and make the Port of 'London the Emporium of the World. The place which has been selected for the construction of the proposed Docks, Warehouses, Quays, &c. which will be sur rounded with Walls, so as to entitle them to all the privileges of the Warehousing System mad of Legal Quays, is flawed between the Toyier and • the London Docks; a situation unparalleled in point ilkednrenience.

Printed but William Blackwood, Edinburgh; and T. Cadell, Strand, London. Of Meadow and Arable Land ; also, the TITHE arising front about ONE THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED ACRES, Of which about ONE THOUSAND ONE HUNDRED ♦CRES, Are Productive Arable Land, The adtit:reed state of Science in Engineering and Architecture, withlhe irisent price of building* materials, will enable the pro tnoters 6f the measure, notwithstanding the comparatively limited site, ina Afford to the.public. accommodation for warehousing, bond ing, and nearly equal in extent to the London Docks ; and from an improved construction of the Warehouses, which will be erected within a few feet of the margin of the D ucks and Basin, a very considerable annual saving will be effected in the ex pense of labourage. It is computed that the St. Katharine Docks and Basin, will with great convenience afford' accommodation, annually, for about 1400 Merchant Ships, including private trade Indiamen ; besides Craft for loadibg and discharging. Increased facilities will be afforded to the Ingress and egress of Shipping, by the improved application of mechanical powers, by means of which ships and l i lighters, at a very trifling expense to the -Company, may, in the night as well as by day, be locked in and out of the Docks du. dog *ay period of tide ; as the sills of the outward gates will be soconstructed as to provide for ten feet depth at low water, and from twenty-six to thirty feet at the height of spring tides. According to the estimates proved before Committees of Parlia ment, the total cost of the site, the purchase of buildings, leases, and thi various interests concern ed, including compensations and ex penses of carrying the Act into execution, will be about £1,550,000, whilst the Capital Stock of the London Duck Company amounts to upwards of £3,200,000. Calculating upon the above estimates of outlay, with an ample provision for extraordinary contingencies and unforeseen demand-, including a reserve fund, and making large allowances for a reduc- Eon in the rates of the Port, the profits are estimated to be such as will yield a highly satisfactory return to the Subset ibers on their in vestment.• The profits thus estimated may be anticipated with the greater confidence, because the calculation proceeds on the stlpposi don of an extent of business equal to only three-foulths of the ea iacity of the proposed Docks and Warehouses, whereas it may I fairly be expected, that the inesiimable advantage of proximity of situation, and the attention which will be paid to every possible im provement in management, may secure full etriploymalt, and, con sequently, still larger returns to the Proprietor*. The Act provides for the payment of Interest to the Subscribers upon their instalments, after the rate of Four per Cent. per Ann. until the works shall have been completed. A deposit of Five per Cent. upon the sums subscribed has been Inca; and upon payment of the first Call, a &rip Receipt will be issued to the Proprietors ; after which, Sales of Shams may take place.—Tbe Calls are united to Ten per Cent. upon a Two Mouths Notice. No person will be answerable beyond the amount of the Stock standing in his name. At the expiration of one year, to be reckoned from the opening of the Docks for business, a dividend will be declared and paid ; and after that period halt-yearly ; regard being had to the creation of a reserved fund for repairs and contingencies. An account of the concerns of the Company for the preceding yew. will be laid before the Proprietors at the annual meetings, and may be inspected by them a few days previous to such meetings.

For the interest of his own client, he submitted that the House could pot grant any further delay. The Arroasar-Gzszam. said, that he had no particular la% terest in opposing delay. He appeared there for the Crown, and his duty was to see that the claims of the party were clearly made out. The Earl of RUSSLYN said. that the present caw was not ex actly that of one party as against another, in which the party object: ling to the claim of the other, ought to come prepared to prove his ,rase, or to suffer for his own neglect; but it was one in which the House was interested to see justice done between the parties, end not let the party who might really be entitled to sit in that House suffer from his own• mismanagement of his case—(Hear, hear). lie apprehended that the Committee ought to allow further time, in order that the witnesses necessary to the case might be brouList to the Bar.—The Committee agreed to this, and fixed a day. Mr. TTNBAL then called other witnesses. Dr. Denison considered the usual period of gestation to be *no calendar months, or 280 days. He knew one case where a Udy had exceeded that period by three weeks. Women frequently Mis calculated in their reckoning. A case cf 311 days or 31 days be 'fond the usual time never came within his knowledge,' nor did he apply his mind to the subject whether women could exceed the usual time by that number'of days. Dr. Hopkins was principal accoucheur of the Westminster Lyink in Hospital, where, with his private practice, he had one thou sand cases of pregnant women every year. One Lady, within his private practice, bad gone ten calendar months, making 300 days.' - He was decidedly positive as to the correctness of this care. Th • child was remarkably large, and the Lady had great dleiculty in • , labour. The Lady had five children. The Doctor referred tra another case as to the largeness of the child, where be was obkged to bring on labour at seven months. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, that the Doctor was cried.: • nating himself under Lord Ellenborough's Act, in deliverinalliwo. men in that state.—(Laughter). The Arroarrer Gontaar..submitted that the Act did not apply where the child was born alive. The Earl of LAUDERDALE apprehended it was otherwise. . Dr. Hopkins eaid, that if he had not delivered the Lady, her He would be endangered. The Earl of LAUDERDALE said, that altered the case. In answer to other questions, the Doctor said that some children were larger at five mouths than others at nine. He had known chil dren born without nails, and others with teeth—(Laughter). - The Atvoaxev-Giuntem..—Oh ! that was to bite mankind (Laughter). Dr. Chinnock, accoucheur to the Chelsea and Brampton District. —He attended one woman who bad gone eighteen days beyond the usual period. lie then stated some of the questions put to the woman, reapecting her pregnancy, and her answers. The witness was about to give evidence of what the female al luded to had stated to bins as to the period when she had the last intercourse with her husband, when Mr. Arroatiay-Gasaaai. objected that such evidence could not be received. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said, that what the female al , hided to had said as regarding her last intercourse with her husband, could not be received.—Lord GI I: fro RD concurred. Thomas Cowry Stocks, examined by Mr. Tirxnat.—ls an ac. coucheur at Dartmoir, and has considi rable practice; the ordinary course of gestation is forty weeks ; recodects an instance of a fe male, according to her own account, having a prolonged gesta tion; weeks ; her husband had been dead before that distance of girlie from the birth of the child. Mr. Arroaxer-Gxoesat said that this was not evidence, be cause a married woman might not confine ber favours alone to her husband. The witness said, that he had upon all occasions witnessed that a woman went longer with a male than a female child; the same doctrine was applicable to animas. He himself bad two mares, one of which had a mare colt and the other a horse colt ; and t.ie snare that had the horse colt went considerably longer than the one that had the mare colt. The ordinary period of gestation for a woman was 280 days, but 290 days was not at all au extraordinary circumstance and witness has noticed, that when gestation has t 0211 protracted beyond the ordinary time, a male child has generally been the result. _ _ Dr. Motion was next called, but nothing material rebuked from his examination.—The further proceedings were then adjourned. BILLS. Mr. BIROODEN and others returned from the Conunona, the Mer chant and Factors' Law, the Bills Court Bill, and several tither Bills agreed to, and brought up a Private Bill, which w. s read a first time.
