T - • Ir.. , , COMMISSIONERS OF MGM. ENQUIRY IN' THE Nribi INDII We have great pleasure in finding that the labours of the Commissioners of Legal Inquiry are likely to be at tended with great advantage to the West India Islands, as will be *hewn by the two following extracts from the Jamaica Papers. We also learn by a private letter, with which we have been favoured, that the Commis sioners are likely to bring their labours to a close early in the ensuing year. From Jamaica they will proceed to Honduras, and the Bahamas. The following are the articles to which we have alluded PROSE THE Ktmosroti (JAMAICA) PAPER, • MA UCH 30, 1825. " Our Readers will remark, that the Commissioners wf Legal Inquiry into the Jorisprudence of the Colonies, have at leng.h arrived in this Island. Nothing can be more gratifying, considering the high character both Commissioners bear for their accuracy in discerning, their impartiality in deciding, and their integrity in re porting. Mr. Henry has filled' with honour to himself, and advantage to the Public, several very ret,,onsible situations under Government, and as be, as well as his fellow Commissioner, are untainted by prejudice, and deservedly esteemed for their t dents and urbanity, our Colonists will join ni h us in considering the inquiry of such men most advantageous, and we are certain, wil: receive them with pleasure. Their Honours, deciding from conviction, deduced from self-ev dence, will, we are confident, dd us that justice we hive lung demanded ; more M e do not desire." FROM THE SPANISH TOWN (JAMAICA) GAZETTE, APRIL 2, 1825. "Among the passengers arrived this week,our readers will perceive the names of- Jabez Henry and 'Thomas Coneys, Esqrs. Commissioners of Legal Enquiry in the West Inei -s. These Gentlemen, with their Secretary, Henry Hill, Esq. came to this town early this morning, which we understand they mean to make their principal place of residecce while they remain among us. Theis Commission extends generally to the Courts of Justice, and is not confined, as has been erroneously believe I, to an inquiry into Slave Courts only. From the cha- Tager these Gentlemen bear, and their conduct in the other Co'onies, we cannot doubt that their labours will be :ittended with the mot satisfactory results to this island." . . PARLIAMEN EARY PROCEEDINGS. •••• eIMM•••—• HOUSE OF LORDS. JUNE 1. MAULS V. MAUL& . The LORD CINANCELLoR addressed the House on Monday, and this day. In th case the Lords of Ses sion had awarded an income o' 8001. per annum to the eldest son of the appellant, to be paid out of the rents of the family estates now held by him ; that it behoved the Lords Justices, in case they had this power, to in quire what sum the income of the father amounted to; atid, on the other hand, what were his obligations to his creditors and his other children ; that the father's income, after deducting between eight and 9000/. for intetest, was soniewhat above 10,0001. his debts a notinted to three years income, they being 29,0001, o: which he could not charge one shilling upon the e •ate —a circumstance to be considered by the father I t making allowances to his children ; the father was o involved in law suits in respect of several parts of t .e propetty, and was a cautioner for several persons t the amount of some thousands. Them was much difference of opinion amongst the Lords of Session on the quantum of allowance, which they at length fixed at 8001. per annum. The Courts of Sco land exercised this jurisdiction, as they stated, tinder the 20th Penal Statute of James IV. 1491 ; but that Statute only pro vided for the preservation of lands in ward, and for the sustenance of the heir during his minority (in case he had no blarche lands), according to his • rank in life. His Lordship asked, was not the father the best judge of the allowance that should be made to his son? and the question seemed indeed to be, whether the ?atria potestas i-elonged to Mr. Maule or the Lords of Session ? —After stating that, as an heir of entail, the respondent had already a jos crediti, whiCh gave him a reversionary n.tate; his right to Which could not be defeated by his f .ther, and which some of the Judges held to be mote valuable in the marker than the appellant's own estate, his Lordship proceeded to notice the decision of the Lords of Session. H's Lordship said that, if the ptin ciple recognized by the decision now appealed against were established, the Court of Session in Scotland would have power superior to that possessed even by the Court of Chancery in England. It would empower the next heir 6f entail, in all cases, to call upon the Court to re quire an account of the income, debts, and burdens of the esta e; and then to decree a portion of the estate's produce; or, in other worts, to reinter it competent to the Court, on arbitrary notions of %hat might be suit able and reasonable between father and sun, 61 to take what is confessedly the property oh one man, and give it to another." That was a principle which he (Lord Eldon) could not recognize—it was not consisteot with the laws, LONDON. THURSDAY, JUNE 2, MI STOCK EXCHANGE., TWELVE O'CLOCK.

In another part of our Paper we have given, frcra the Etoik of Tuesday, an account of the Coronation of CHARLES the Tenths at Rheims, on Sunday last. As a spectacle, it is much inferior to the splendid ceremony of a Coronation in England ; and it does not appear to I have excited half so much interest as was expected. The Coronation is usually attended ui h an Act of Grace, ani the Monileur of Monday contains Royal Ordonnances of this nature: I. Grants an amnesty ; first to 58 condemned persona ; and the first two names in this last are Guillaume de Y•ludoucourt and Drone, &Edon ; second, to 7S deserters (trAnsfuges). The persons whose names are included in these two lilt: are to remain under the surveillance of the Iligh Police for five year:. 11. Grants an entire amnesty co all persons condemned by virtue of Articles 1,2, 3,4, 5, 6, 9, 10, and 11, of the law of 17th May, 1619; and of Articles 2,5, 4,8, 9, and 10, of the law of 25:b March, 1812. All seizures of writings and engravings male by virtue of these laws remain in force. 111. Grants full amnesty to persons who have been guilty of offences against the laws relative to the forests or the fisheries, com mitted before the 29th May this year, with some modifications. IV. Appoints the Count de-Seze, and Count de la Forest, Mi nisters of State and Members of the Privy Council. V. Orders the number of Couns.Hors of the Royal Court of Paris to be increased to 60. VI. Makes various nominations in Courts of Justice in different parts of the kingdom. VII. Grants an amnesty to deserters from the navy. The Ordonnances are dated Rheims, 2ath - May, except the Sth and 6th, which are dated from the Tuileries, E. , ..td May. The Report of the Society for Promoting the En largement and Building of Churches and Chapels, read at the Annual Meeting on the 25th ult. is highly grati fying ; and liberal as the public suppot t has been, ye., when we consider the extensive good already done by the Society, and how much still remains to do, we .hink it may confidently look forward to a continuation of that support. Very person that contributes to this Society, not only shares in erecting a temple to his MAK6II I but become t'e means of spreading the Christian Religion, and of extending its benign in fluence to thousands who were before excluded from public worship. Thi; Society has a strong claim on the friends of the Established Church, .who, we trust, will come forward, and enable it to continue its useful exertions. Nor ought the support of the Society to rest on these alone, since every person is intefested it a cause which has for its object the diffusion of re- ligious knnwleJge, ansi the accommodation of the middle and humble classes df society; for, h is a string fact, that every one who subscribes a single pound will be the means of furnishing an additirinal free seat in a Church. It appears firm the Rep( rt, that the Society has expended 136,14.01. in providing an increase of accommodation to the amount of 113,714 sittings, of which /4,548 are for the use of the poor. The assistance, thus given, we are sorry to say, has nearly exhausted their finances, and applications for additional aid are increasing every day. His NIA/Lary has been graciously pleased to make a donation of 10001. and we trust the generous example will not be lost on his subjects, particularly as the So ciety has no other support than what arises from volun tary contributons; and can only extend its usefulness in proportion to its means.

To-day the proceedings in the Ecclesiastical Courts were proved at their Lordships bar,`and afterwards the following witnesses were called. Sir Charles Sullivan examined.—Am relation to the petitioner of the bill. Am his first cousin. Was in habits of intercourse with bilis. Sow him in two months after his marri tge in Paris. I returned in consequence of that marriage. He continued abroad, and 1 followed him. He remained on the Continent till 1822. A separation took piece. That separation was caused by reports of the conduct of the wife, and a conviction that she was not leading a proper life. The female servant of Mrs. Sullivan was next ex amined.—She knew the Oldacres, both father and mother. She lived with them, aucl knew the daughter, who was married. Knew Mr. Goldney, who used fre quently come to their house; saw Mrs. Sullivan in April, 1821. She came to L•indon with lie-. On her arrival in London, Goldney came to see her. They went together to Nottingham. Witness went with them. Lived wi.h them there for twelve months. Goldney and Mrs. Sullivan lived there as m .11 and wile; saw them so. They afterwards re tuned to London, to Nelsnn.square; they lived there also as man and wife. Tney directed that -nobody should be let in unless they were known. To tradespeople, while at M ht i igham, they gave the name of Liss. They then went to live in a cottage in Buckingham shire. They directed the gates to be kept lucked. The name on the door was Hunt. Mrs. Sullivan lay-in whilst there. Witness left them for some tine in the Care of that clilJ, and when she returned there was an• th r, the one a male, and the other a female child. They were the children ot Mrs. Sullivan and Mr. Gold ney. One of the children was taught to say " papa and mamma," and there were n other persons there but Mrs. Sullivan and Mr. Goldney. Mr. limittlsost said, that he had no further evidence to offer to their Lordships at present. lie had none to offer as to the conduct of Mrs.Sullrvan, previous to the man iage. During the proceedings in the Ecclesiastical Court, notwithstanding all the zeal and industry mt.. cited to procure some, they were unsuccessful. How ever, as it was possible still that some' witnesses may be found, who could speak to that fact, every inquiry would be made ; and should they net succ ed in finding any, he would apprize their Lordships of it as soon as that the evidence may be printed, and their Lordships proceed to a decision. An indistinct conversation took place at the table between FArls IRA RROitRY, LAUDERDALE, and the Marquis of lauturswx, respecting the suspension of the Standing Order requiring that a certain por tion of capital should be proved to have been subscribed before any Bill for establishing a Joint Stock Company should be read a second time. The Standing Order in question having ultimately been suspended, The Marquis of LANSDOWN read the Report of the Select Committee on the Irish Joint Stack Companies Bill, to which the Bill had been referred. It stated that after having examined the evidence before them, and that laid before the Committee on the State of Ireland, they considered it so satisfactory, that they did not consider it expedient to call for farther rildence, and.recom mended that the House should proceed with the Rill. In conse quence of this recommendation, the Noble Marquis moved, that the Bill be read a second tines.—Agreed to. Lord ELLENBOROUGH presented Petitions ruin( certain Officers of the Court of King's Bench, praying fur compensation under the County Courts on the table. Mr. LoxotAsos presented an AccOunt of the number of Ships which entered the West India Ducks during the last year.—Lai.l on the table. A Gentleman from the Caledonian Canal presented the twenty second Report of the Commissioners.—Laid on the table. Counsel having been called to the Bar, Mr. Ilmutssox was beard at considerable length in support of the Equitable Loan Company Bill. He contended that the legality of the Company depeaded on its utility, and stated that he should be able to prove the latter by the molt convincing evidence at the liar. At seven o'clock the House interrupted the Learned Counsel, and after some conversation between the LORD Cuarroesi.os, the Earl of LAUDERDALE ' and Lords Mots and Surest:AD, it was agreed that Counsel should be further heard on Tuesday next.— A djourned.

CORoSt.ICS INQUEST. SUDDEN DEATH Of COLONEL COoTER. An Inquest was, on Tuesday evening, held at N 0.5, Montague-place, the residence of the II: n. Colonel Win. Conies, who died rather suddenly. The Jury, which was composed of some N blemety . Office. s, and Gentlemen residing in khe vicinity, heard the evidence, proving, that on Friday evening last the Colonel and his family attended Colient Garden Theatre, but before the performance terminated, he became very indisposed, which indipns;tion incie.ts/ng, he returned home, and died about one o'clock, a short time after his return to his residence. Every medical attendance was procured, but of no avail, as the medical attendants attributed his death to the rupture (Ira vessel, which produced apoplexy ; and the Jury coming to thut conclusion, a verdict to that effect was returned. WILL OF • lIIE LATE LORD GLASTOsBURY. The last will and testament of the late Right Hon. James Baron Glastonbury, of Burleigh, in the county of Somerset, was registered in the Archbishop's Court of Prerogative, in Doctors' Commons, on the 21st probate being granted to the Hon. Thomas Grenville, the sole executor. The personal estate was sworn under two hundred and fifty thousand pounds in value. The will has thirty-four codicils annexed to it; they contain many legacies to friends and servants, particu larly the latter, some of whom hive handsome annuities. Lord Nugent has 30001. the Right Hon. Sr Watkira Williams Wynn, 60001. the Hon. Thomas Grenville, 80001. besides other bequests ; the Hon.' Catherire Neville, 3001. per annum, charged upon the estates in Lancashire, which are also made subject to other an unities, and devised to the Rev. William Smyth, jun. and his heirs male. The estates in the counties of Somerset, Surrey, and Bedford, are devised to ehe Hon. Thomas Grenville and his issue male. The will is dated the 21st January, 1824. We are sorry to announce the death of Major Mt/11.- 11AT, of Wink&ld, who was unfortunatety thrown out of his ear. riage on Tuesday, after the Races at Ascot Heath.—Through the carelessness of the servants the carriage was overturned, and the Major was thrown not with such violence, that be received a severe contusion on the brain. Surgical aid was promptly rendered, and he was conveyedlo his residence, hut heespired that evening at ten o'clock. He has left a wife and two children to deplore his la. mentable fate. _ _ _ _ _ The Members of the L.eds Pitt Club assembled at the Music Hall, Leeds, on Saturday last, in commemoration of the lace Rt. lion. Witmais Pirr. Nearly 140 Gentlemen sat down to a most sumptuous dinner—C. BROWN, Eq. Mayor of Leeds, in the Chair; A. Hurray M.D. Vice-President. The sense of the Meeting on the late proceedings in Parliament, on the Catholic Question, was strongly manifested, when the touts of " The Duke of York," and " The Protestant Ascendancy," were given, which were most enthusiastically received. Yesterday, Mr. Ruin, who has been for the last seven uzdEevoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary from the States d America to the British Court (and who has only been retailed at his own earnest solicitation), embarked with his (mashie Lady and their lovely family, for New York. Mr. Resit, daring his long and important inis,loti to this country, has evince(' an exalted Went as a Diplomatist, and has had the gratinatien to secure to himself the unqualified esteem, and give the highest satisfaction to both Governments, a circumstance, we believe, of rather rare occurrence. The amiable disposition and goodness Nst heart of Mrs. Roan, will long live in the remembsance of those wbo have had the happiness of knowing her, and appreciating her inostimable qualities. They were accompanied on board the York, by Sr Davin and Lady Omar and family, who were desirous of skew/big them this last testimony of that esteem, respect, and friendship, in which they have ever held them, and to take a final leave. Mr. Rose's important services to his country here, have been duly appreciated, and have been rewarded by a ministerial ap pokrment at Washington of the utmost trust, and where he will, Al , h ,~ P • 't i .
