The last letters from the 'Levant bring jas certfin news that the blockade of the Dardanelles has received all the ectension that was apprehended. Admiral Hey de., instead of :evoking the declaration of Admiral Ricord. has truly confirmed it; on the other band, the Greeks who have passed the Isthmus of Corinth, which was assigned as their boundaries, and now masters of Missolonghi and Lepanto, make evety where declara tions of blockade. Thus we shall soon see all the coast of the Ottoman Empire prohibited to the French and English merchants. Russia, which had promised to waive its rights as a bel ligerent power in the Mediterranean, and which subset quently seemed disposed to cdnfine itself to the block ade of the Dardanelles, now extends to all the coast of the Ottoman Empire a net which its allies cannot break through. Bach is the result of the expedition to the MOM, the effect of which has been "to encourage the Russians ire, thatik r •fetteepriae 4 104 to deliver up gfiece mks* ht : licence Of-thetr polity. It is with, the Money of Vrance Out lie Greeks' have quitted the Mores, and have taken troseession of those coasts which are now going to be dosed against our commerce. Oor readers will easily perceive all the consequences that may arise from such a state of things. I.r war bteaks out between the great Powers, iknd it the revolu tion should arise in France by means of the Electoral Colleges, the weakness and indecision of the present 'Mi.

There was no news from Varna, however—'—no military operations of-importance could take _place.

HOUSE OF LORDS, JuNs 17. 'Their Lordships met at half-past two o'clock, and formed themselves into a Committee of Privileges, to take into consideration the Earl of Jersey's claim to i vote for Representative Peers of I:eland as Lord Gran dam, and adjoorned at three o'clock until Friday. HOUSE OF LDS, JUSZ 15. THOBSIDLEIeII anima mt.. Lord BERESFORD said, that in moving that the House resolve itself into a Committee on Thorndskit's Divorce Bill. be : would not trouble their LwAships with any obseivations, conceiving, from the evidence which hid been offered, that the case was completely este. lalisbed s and that there was- no pretence for charging Mr. Thorndike with conniving at. his wife's dishonour. The meshes baying been pm by the Lose Ceaecziaass, The Earl of LAUDERDALE rose—My Lords, I certainly feel that it is a very - disagreeable situation to stand &retard to oppose the progress of this Bill ; but, being convinced, that if your Lordships do pass it, .with all the evidence which we have had produced, you will be deputing from the principles which have hitherto governed your proceedings in similar appli• cations. I may be excused when I offer a few remarks upon the present Bill. I agree, my Lords, with the Male Lord who has proposed the motion, that there is co evidence to convict* Mr. Thorndike in having conspired to the seduction of his wife; but no person can read the statements of the witnesses without being convinced that hectid not exercise that care and circum spection oasich he. as a husband,was bound to do. Your Jew' .dships brie precedents to reject such a Bill as the p 4404 40 one of which I beg to call your attention. In the year 1814. * Mr. Worrell, who was a Lieutenant in the Navy, was a petitioner for a divorce from his wife. It appeared from the evidence that the most complete fact of she adulterous intercourse was proved, for a car penter, rho had Wired a bole through the partition in which she and her paramour were, witnessed the criminal intercourse. Nevertheless Mr.W. was shown to have neg lected that due tare and circumspection as a husband he was heood.lo hive evinced, and the Bill was thrown out. 14ovr, my Lards, you have had it proved in evidence, ip the present case. at the Sir of your House, in this particularoeffiCient to pronounce upon, viz.—that Mr. 'Thorudike did not use that vigilance and care which he 'might towards his wife. Major Chichester, and Joseph Ilasbinson afici his ,wife, have all borne tmtimony to ! that fact. I beg to call our attention to what Major' Chichester has stated.

Now, I' wish to know.' my. Lards, Amber 4ha Waned, whose wife was said to be in a manner deranged ea account of Mr. Welith leaving the station, had acted with iliat ceotioa and care as respected the introduction of Captain Hervey ?

's, _tp Lord BEMS/RD—My Lord', 4 must my your indulgence a shot time in following the observe-. Lions of the NOde Lord .who has just addressed your Lordships; and, in.doing -Sep I must take the liberty of saying, that, in adverting to she evidence, he has stilted that which does not appear, as seems to me. in that evidence produced .st Tour Bar. With respect to what his been stated about Mr. Welsh being permit ted to sleep lathe tinning room, must say that in such a proceeding no blame whatever can attach to Mr. Thorndike. This I know to k a fact (tom my owes experience, that when Officers, situated as Mr. Welsh. was, visit officers in garrisons, they are provided•with accommodation for the night, whether they are married men or not. t If it were not' so, it would be impossible that mien could imp- up that iptercourse which hospi tality and good breeding ,squire. As to the position of the bed, there is evidence, more than snflicieot, to show that the door of the dressing room, which led to. the bed room, could not begot open whilst the bed was, there. Joseph Robinson spokeot it doubtfully, but ail two women, his wife, and the witness Sarah Self, Said that the bed was so placed that the door could not bel opened. The Noble Lord : has *spied t h at no evi deem has hoes offered to Wave that the husband had exercised that care and precaution which, as a husband, it was his dory to do. Why, spy Lords, there was no suspicion .whatever that Captain Her vey was too intimate with Mrs. ° Thorndike. There does not appear to have been any suspicion to dm ef fect, either in the mind of Mr. Thorndike or Colonel Skinner,. or the minds of the servants; and, as for the expression About ".that fatal night," it is not quite clear whether Mrs. 'I horodike had used it, for Ma jor Chichester would not undertake to speak posi tively as to that fact. If - she : did use it, it was under the influence of .deliriu t us, and was used in the same manner as the expression—" I have murdered my daughter." At that very period her daughter was will. Both expressions were idle. Will the Noble Lord say that you are to believe. one, arid take it for absolute truth, end reject the other? Will the Noble Lord say that one assertion is worthy of credit and the other not? Now, my Lords, .1 wish to call your attention to what was the husband's impression of the auctions. Major Chichester has stated, in tl)e latter part of his evidence, that Mr. Thorndike told him, in reference to theinquiry which he had made respecting what Mrs. Thorndike had asserted in her illness, than he was then perfectly happy, and satisfied on'that score. It is necessai y, my Lords, to weigh these things together. With regard to abat the witness Joseph Robinson states, as to his requesting Mr. Thorndike to go home and take care of his wife. I beg to observe that Robinson was not then aware, as he has since told you, ,of the instructions given by the medical Gen tlern .n in Mr. Thorndike. Col. Skianer had proved also that Mr. Thorndike was desired by the medical Gentle man not to appear in his wife's presence, lest it should id crease her complaint. •She had refused to take food ex cept from Capt. Hervey. Now, it was impossible that, at that time, there could be any great partiality for Ce l t. Hervey, supposing that she was ill on Mr. Welsh leav ing the island. The Noble Lord wants to prove, I ap prehend, that the indisposition of Mrs. Thorndike arose from Mr. Welsh going away Cheat, hear! from the Earl of Lauderdale]. This end not, however, be much in favour of the Noble Lord's view of the case, unless it can be proved that Mr. Thorndike was aware of her partiality for Mr. Welds. This question vias put to the witnesses, 44 Did Mr. Thorndike behave towards his wife as other gentlemen did?" and ibe answer invariably returned was " Yes." Colonel Skin. Der 's evidence went to prove—he having a wife and a daughter grown up, with whom Mts.Thorndike visited -.-that Mr. Thorndike's coodect towards his wife was correct, and that-Mrs. Thorndike herself had not then manifested any feelings which debarred her from re. spectable society. Look also, my Lords, at the eels. dance of Catherine Robinson. She says that she saver beheld any thing in her mistress's conduct to. wards *Captain Hervey which tailed eves a suspicion is her mind that her mistress was acting improperly. las. deed, no suspicision whatever of that nature was enter. tained by any person until Mrs. Thorndike Colonel Skinner tells you the same thing, on being q tioaed as to. that point; sad yet your Lordships are told to consider this as one of the most extraordinary semis Of a husband's want of doe care and circumspection which has ever been presented before this House. is general, I believe, it will be admitted, my Lords, the the world are long acquainted before the husband of themile'sinfidelity; but in the present case the husband is to he censured, and .an act of justice withheld from hips, because he did not first discover that which ' Was pewee thoupt of by any body else who hid Oifortnititift (*ridging . of the matter. I welled the Noble Lord only who observe of Mrs. Thorodibe all den.y—bnt it is said that ',walked in the larden was esposed It was beneath *hid), and ' The Noble • in.the sousating And) before Vence to the ear, or by allowing Mr, in which he __ slept. _ - Learned Lord (whO woe now present) considered-that is proportion as sods •facilities to cantina, frotaireoure were afforded. from the nature of foreign f so would the infamy accrue on the man who.

The First Report of the Commissioners appointed in inquire into the Law of Ragland respecting Real Prok petty, has jest been printed. It is an elaborate aid highly.valusble document; and a due attention to It cannot, vie think, fail to prove of eminent public bone fit.--.After s most handsome .acknossledsment of the a•sistance derived by the Commissioners from all clasies of persons connected with the administration of Justice and tbe.practice of the law, particularly the Gentlemen at the Bar who confine themselves to the department of Conveyancing, the. Report thus proceeds— We have the satisfaction to report, that the Law of Real Property seems to us to require very•few esdential alterations ; and that those which we shall feel it our duty to suggest are chicly modal. •When the object ot , transactions respecting land is accompashed, and the estates and interests in it which ate recognised are ac tually erected and secured, the law of England, except in a few comisaratively unimportant particulars, ap pears to.coilie-alsuost as near to perfection as can be ex• petted le any hussati.institetions. The owner of the Soil is, two think, vested with eu. actly the dominion and power of disposition over' it re quired for the public good, and landed property in England is admirably made to answer all the purposes to which it is applicable. Settlements b e stow upon the present possessor of an estate the benefits of otinership, and secure the property to his posterity. The existing rule respecting perpetui• ties has- happily hit the medium between the strict en tails which prevail in the northern part of the island, and by which the property entailed is for e'er abstracted from commerce, and the total prohibition of substitn• tiops, and the.excessiee resviction of the power of de vising established in some countries on the Continent of Euterpe. • in England families are preserved, and put• chasers always,tind a supply of land in the market. A. testamentary power it given, which stimulates industry and encourages accutnulatiiin; and while capricious limitations are restrained, property is allowed to be moulded according to the circumstances and wants of every family. Where no disposition •is made by will, the whole landed estate descends to the eldest son or o:her heir male. This, which is called the Law of PrimogeoitUte • appears far better adapted to the constitution and habits of this kingdom than the opposite Law of equal Parti biliry, which, in a few geneiations, would biirak d. vin the aristocracy of the country, and by the endless sub division of the soil most be Ultima:el) , untavou. able to agriculture and injurious to the best interests of the State. But a view of the °law respecting the transfer of Real Property suggests remarks of a different 'nature. It appears to us that the modes by which estates and interests is Real Property are created, transfel red, and secured, are exceedingly defective, and require many important alterations. This - _ . .ois proceeds in a considerable degree from rules and maxims, which once were suitable and rational. being maintained when the state of society and the modifications of property are changed. Statutes have been often passed on the spur of the oceasionosith regard to the harmony of the system; and from themign •of your Majesty's illustrious ancestor Kane Edward I. 'till the issuing of this Commission by goer Majesty. there has been no general revision of the law. In the time of the Commonwealth a Commission was ap pointed to consister •of legal reforms. over which Sir Matthew Hale presided, 'and of which several other lawyers of great eminence were members; but theft. labours were f,ustrated by the disordered awe of die times. A long succession of upright and able 'ledgers have corrected many abuses and introduced many itn provements; yet their decisions have occasionally ex hibited a strange vacillation between rigid adheance II cheical forms and respect for the principles et en lightened jurisprudence. They have found•theniselves unable to break through rules become purely arbitrary. Thus, although military tenures have been long abo. ' lished, the incidents of military tenure are stifT often re , fined to in judicial argument; and the manifest inlets. tion of the parties to a deed is at this day liable to be defeated, because the law supposes that these must always be a tenant seised of the freehold to attend the 'Lord's Court, and to defend any real action that may be-brought by an adverse claimant. .The tunibrous and circuitous forms of conveyancing esow in use are founded on antiquated doctrines.
