WESTERN SHIP CANAL TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR. Siß—So long as " AN OPPONZNT" continues to en deavour to delude the SUBSCRIBERS to this UNDER TA KING, aid thereby to retard a work which I believe td be of the utmost importance to the country, I mist endeavour to 1 meet him, and to prevent the success of his efforts. The lost nuation contained in hit letter in a Morning Paper of this day, is as base in design as It is unfounded in fact. The members of the re spectable Committee, who examined into the merits of the ques tion, before it passed the House of Commons, never did express their opinion that the undertaking would not pay as an investment. Several of them, on the contrary, have signed the Contract for large sums, and many others would have done so if they had occasion to invest money. This they have been beard to declare in several in stances. It" An Opponent" does not think itwill pay, nobody desires him to subscribe to it. But it is dishonest in any man to endeavour to dissuade °liters from performing their contracts by false representa tions. If " An Opponent" does this through ignorance of what is right, I pity him, and if be has bound himself by compact to do all that man can do to defeat a great national undertaking, and is regard less of the means of effecting his ends, I advise him to run any risk rather than to persevere in t dishonourable course. The measure is bad or good—.if bad, let that be proved ;if good, it ought not to be put down, and it certainly never can be by trick and chicanery. London, June 23,1825. VERITAS. - COURT OF CHANCERY.

The advantages resulting from the use of 'Steam vessels are too firmly established to require comment; it is, however, universally admitted that the vessels and machinery hitherto employed are not adapted to distant voyages or tempestuous weather. To obviate the admitted defects in steam navigation, the draughts and 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 beet 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 SO days, and to the ports of the West Indies and America in a proportionate time ; and that the Company will, with such important advantages, divide a very considerable annual profit, the comparative risk being small, and losses guarded against by the property being insured in London.

In Boxes, at Is. led. and 2a. 91 PAR, - _ Mr. Vl/111AL ippeired at theftordships Bar, and prayed for further time in this case, in order to be able to bring forward the body of evidence on which he founded his case. lie said that it was utterly impracticable for him to bring that evidence forward at present, which he considered essential to establish the rights of his client. The Petitioner who bad been heard had attained fifteen years of age before he laid claim to the*Gardoer Peerage, and-it could Not be any inconvenience to him, or injery to his claim, to let the matter wad over till next Session. If it could be any de triment, why had he not preferred his claim before? Unless the prayer of his client were granted. it would operate.as a denial of justice, because he was not in a condition to bring forward important witnesses. The only inconvenience that could occur to the present claimant would be the death of any witness; but that loss &odd easily be supplied by ethers, and with equal advantage to the party. Bet to his client, who had not as yet been able to procure ail the evidence necessary, it world be highly dangerous to proceed at the present period, for the House would only be acting on a partial view of the case. If any doubts arose in their Lordships minds whether the person whom he represented had occasioned any de lay, their Lordships might call forward the Solicitor who bad eon. l ducted the case, and examine kim ae to the fact. But as no delay was attributable to his client, be trusted that their Lordships would be pleased to postpone the further consideration of this case till nest Session of Parliament. Even if the case was to go on now it could not be decided till nest Session. Under these circum stances, he humbly hoped that their Lordships would accede to his prayer for further time. • • The Soutwroa-Gsseaat opposed the prayer for delay. The whole case had been delayed from time to time, and now came the climax of delay. He did not know what delay they would have, if a year's time was not enough, for they had had already fifteen months' time to prepare themselves. The only point in his opinion upon which any doubt had arisen, or at least on which they had started any difficulties, was the period of gestation, and upon that they had four months to bring medical men forward to substan tiate their case. They had time to bring them from England, Scotland, and from Ireland—nay, from Paris, if necessary. He was at a loss to know from what quarter the medical men were to come—whether any were to come from Tartary, St. Petersburgb, Siberia, or Turkey ; or whether they were to be brought from Co lombia, Buenos Ayres, or New Zealand. What wer e the y to prove? the question of access or non-access ? and surely, upon a qnestion so familiar and domestic, they had time enough to prove if scything of the kind bad taken place—(Laughter). Mr. ADAM on the same side, said, that Henry F enton Gardner W presented his claim in March, 1524, to the Attorney-General, aid that fifteen months had elapsed since the other party had no des to prepare. He considered that tßae ample enough to prepare as answer. But Mr. Tyndal had formerly prayed for time till del 20th June to be ready, and that time had now passed, yet he was not in a condition to proceed with his case. Mr. Tirstasc said, that as to the appearance before the Attorney- General, the report only stated that " Henry Fenton Gardner ap peared before the Attoreey-General. to prosecute his claim b efore as House of Lords." When he (Mr. Tyndal), had applied for delay, be only wished that the matter might stand over generally. How could he state his case to their Lordships, when he had not Vet the examination of the medical men upon whose opinions he was to found his case? It would be upon their opinion that he would mainly rest his case. He did not wish to hatch a case, as had been insinuated by his Learned Friend. If their Lordships had any doubts on their minds as to the delay sought, they might question the person who conducted the case. The LOUD CHANCELLOR said, that this application was of great importance and of great delicacy ,—if no other was' con cerned but that of the party at the b.,r, ikv should Iyeikitt no case bad been made out. The Learned Counsel (Mr. 'Meal) said that the evidence could not be lost by the delay sought, because it could be supplied by the evidence of other persons— if that be so, why would it not apply to the person whe opp oses the claim? The truth was, that the Crown had an interest in this case, and their Lordships were bound to do justice to the Crown as well as to the parties claiming. If the Learned Gentleman could make out a case of delay, why not produce evidence touch ing the question of gestation? which was the only material thing, in his judgment. The better way would be for their Lordships to report to the House, that the person who opposes the claim is not . ready to proceed, and the House could call the witnesses necessary to the question, and the Learned Counsel could say whether he de• dined to bring forward these witnesses or not. Mr. Truism . said, that Rh was their Lordships wish, he would bring forward what witnesses he bad, though they might not be the most Important to his case. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY asked Jibe *as ready with those witnesses now ? Mr. MODAL said that he was not, but he would bring them for. ward any day the Committee might appoint. The further proceedings were adjourned. ANNANOALE PLERAGE. The Lords' Committee of Privileges, according to appointment, entered into the consideration of the claim of John James Here Johnstone, of Annandale. Esq. eldest son of Sir William John. stone Hope, Bart. by Lady Ann, who was eldest daughter or James, Earl of Hopetoun,who, by the death of Marquis George in 1752, succeeded to the estate and Earldom of Annandale, and died in 11116 without male issue. Lady Ann, being the daughter of Earl James, succeeded, on failure of issue male ; and conse quently to her ought to succeed the claimant, her eldest son, under , the limitations in the Letters Patent of King Charles the Second. IN 1841, and Charter by that Monarch in 1662, which were "to James, Earl of Annandale and Harden, and the heirs male of his body; whom failing, to the heirs female of his body; and to the heirs male of the body of the eldest heir female; whom failing, to the nearest heirs and assignees of the EarL" The Claimant ' as heir male of the body of the heir fe male, Lad y Ann, claims the title in terms of the Patent and Charter in 1861 and 1662. Mr. KEAY argued in favour of the Claimant ; and the ATTOINZY Ga. mutat. (the Lord Advocate being absent) having required a day or two to prepare himself thoroughly on the part of the Craven, it was, under the circumstances, ordered that their Lordships Com• mine, adjourn farther consideration of this claim until next Session. It being necessary, proof that Lady Henrietta Countess of Hopetoun, died a considerable time before Marquis George, who died in 1792, was afforded by the testimony of the Right Hun. Lord Lyndech, who was well acquainted with the family. Mr. Town, from the Treasury, presented accounts of the value and quantity of the Baltic and American timber imported. The Quarantine Laws Regulation Bill was read a third time and passed, as were several private Bills. JUDGES SALARIES AUGMENTATION BILL. The Earl of LIVERPOOL moved-the Order of the Day for the second reading cf the Judges' Salaries Augmentation Bill. The Noble Earl observed, that it was unnecessary to trouble their Lordships on this sub ject to any considerable extent. There were several Bills upon the table of the House, all of which tended to the same point; he would first move the second reading of the Bill for abolishing the sale of offices in the Court of King's Bench. He- could only say, that the principle of these Bills had been thoroughly consi dered, and all who had attended to the important sub ject, admitted that in justice the regulation, as it had previously been, required some alteration.. At present a great portion of the salary of the Chief Justice of the Curet of King's Bench was procured by the sale of offices, which was, in' the estimation of all who had duly weighed the matter, an unseemly thing, and a much better plan was suggested by Parliament in the abolition of the sale e.f those offices, and in fixing the Judges' salaries, once for all, as they ought to be fixed. It was intended by this Bill not only to abolish the sale of all offices whatsoever, but that all sinecure places in those Courts should be prospectively abolished ; those persons who now held such offices being of course ex empted from any such tegulat,on. The Bill had, then, three grand objects, first, to do away with the sale of to be, it must be of course arbitrary; the. Bill proposed the following arrangement, and that arrangement he confe-sed met with his approbation. It was proposed then to give to the Chief Justice, of the King's Bench, who,standing as he did in a high and responsible situa tion, had higher claims than the other Judges, a clear salary of 10,0001. a year ; to give to the Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas, 8,0301. a year; the Chief Baron of the Court of ExChequer. 7,0001. a year ; the Master of the Rolls, 7,0001. the Vice-Chancellor, 6,0001. and the Puisne 'Judges, 5,5001. There were different opinions as to the sum that'ought to be fixed ; but considering the respectability, the responsibility, the tfme of life, and the high rank of the Judges, to gether with the laborious duties they had to perform, be did not conceive the sum decided upon to be at all too much, or that any individual holding those distinguished offices would be overlaid. — Their Lordships should consider that the persons to fill those dices should be sought for from among those Barristers who were spectabie business • that they iota beaelleleatly far adveasia& is life to be experien ced in the important duties they had to perform, and yet young enough to enable the country to look forward to have the benefit of that experience for a considerable period. Now. It would be impossible to look for such persons, unless their salaries were sufficiently large to enable them to support the rank they were promoted to. Under these circumstances, be felt confident tit!' their Lordships would agree with him in ceasidering the regu lation proposed by this Bill was necessary and just. The Marquis of LANSDOWN gave his unqualified approbation to the mode of paying the Judges by sala riest instead of the sale of offices, which was both degrad ing to their character and must place them sometimes in unpleasant situations. He did not know enough of the subject to form a decided opinion himself, but he had heard it said that the salaries should be somewhat less than what was proposed, and the retired allowance somewhat more. He should be sorry that Parliament :should go too far, for if the Judges were overpaid, the situation would become one of political influence,which ought to be strictly separate from the administration of justice, instead of realising the assertion of Mr. Cottu is his otherwise excellent work on English jurisprudence, that the Government inexorably exacted from the Chief Justices a complete coincidence in opinion with them. . Parliament had also to guard, after the present fees should be abolished, against the progressive rise of others to impede public business and render it dispels. dious. The Noble Marquis then called the attention of the House to the state of judicature in Wales, which remained on a footing decidedly the reverse of that on which it was placed in England, both by anterior sta totes and by the present Bill. When there was a general I review and improvement of the system of justice throughout 'the country, was such an anomaly to be suffered to subsist in Wales? No reason had ever been adduced in its support except one of tech nical forms, as that it was inconvenient that the King's Writs should be allowed to run beyond the Severn and-the Dee, lest the jealousy of that powerful Sovereign, the Prince of Wales, should be excited. Ide hoped that the subject would occupy the attention of the Com nUssioners of Inquiry and of their Lortiihips. Lord ELLENBOROUGII contended, that if the object of the Bill was to prevent at once the sale of offices, that object would not be attained by the pre sent measure. Neither would it put an end to a single fee, for both the Noble Ea 1 and his Noble Fliend seemed unacquainted with the history of feet. (Lord Ellenborough's) office, which was one of the first, the fees were rather smaller than they had been two hundred years ago, and there was no record of any ai. teration or increase in them since 1605. He believed that the sale of offices by a Chief Justice was a thing which had scarcely ever taken place. Sinecures might be given to his relations, but high offices were not sold. But when theie was no objection to selling the Advow son of a Living, he did not see why there should be any to the sale of a Ministerial Office in a Court of Law. However, he admitted the public feeling , was against it. The Noble Lord then compared the situa tion of the Chief Justice at present, with a revenue double that of the other Judges, the high patronage of his situation, and the receipt of all the fees belonging to it, with that which it was intended to make him occupy by the Bill, which did not even give him a salary dou ble that of the Puisne Judges. It was usually deemed of importance that he should hold a seat in that House, but would it be prudent for a Chief Justice, without any private fortune of his own, and with a salary of only 10,0001. a-year to take a title ? Could he save enough to transmit,it in the manner in which it °tight to be supported to his descendants ? The revenue of the Chief Justice arose principally at present from the quantity of business which he did, and all knew that interest must, to a certain extent, influence exertion. The Bill before the House removed that incentive, and one of its effects would be that an additional num ber of Judges must be created, or the business would grow too great for those in existence. The Noble Lord then objected to the retired allowance of the Puisne Judges, be ng 3,5001. out of a salary of 5001. whilst that of the Chief Justice was to be only . 4,0001. although his salary was 10.0001. The retired allowance ought to bear an equal proportion to their re spective salaries. He contended that the disposition of several of& ces, such as that of Marshal of the King's Bench, was not touched • by the BiU. It abounded with inaccuracies :in oce place money was ordered to be paid to the executors of a man during his natural I life. In another the object of consolidation was directed to be ef fected in the longest possible mode. In his opinion the public would practically derive no immediate advantage from the measure ; even the abolition of the sale of offices was postponed to a long period. The Earl of LIVERPOOL maintained that no office was to be saleable trots the passing of the Bill ; but ad mitted that it was not intended to touch those which bad been sold, and which were in the possession of iadi viduals. With respect to those it had been thought prefer able to allow them to expire, rather than to buy out the existing interest. Had the latter been done individuals would never have thought that they had receivedenough, whilst the public would have conceividthat the Govan went had paid them too much. The abolition of sale ability was intended to apply to all offices. As to the mode of paying the Judges much might be :id on both sides ; but was it consistent with present feelings, or prejudices, if the House would call them so, that the lehict Justices of the Courts of King's Bench and Com mon l'leas instead of being rewarded openly by salaries, should be paid indirectly by something which sounded so unpleasantly as the sale of offices ? The revenue of the Chief Justice, it was said, was at present the other Judges, and ought to be - • • I • . - IC . -11`17i i r ,,)1 :- 1 , jo t 111" Vi • . • , , 4_ I / , Pea r ant ~ . • f", .... 4.... • 4;tip 4. , ''''.4,. , ' , .as i .
