COURT OF EXCHEQUER, SCOTLAND. The following are the leading features of the Lord Chan eellor's bill, " for making providonlie c itAreg4ll, business now done by the efollit tir uer The preamble recites the acts of 8 Ann, e. 53, 48 George 111. c. 145, and the Ist William IV. c. 09. It then sets forth, that whereas, with a view to render the administration of justice in matters of revenue in Scotland less expensive, it is expedient that on the retirement or decease of the said Lord Chief Baron of Exchequer, or any of the other Barons of the said court, no successors should be appointed to their i respective offices, and that fit provisions should be made for the performance of the duties of their respective offices, and also for facilitating the retirement of the said Lord Chief Baron, and two of the Barons of the said court : be it there fore enacted, ece. that from and after the passing of this act, upon the retirement or decease of the present Lord Chief Baron, or any of the present Barons of the said court, no successors shall be appointed to their respective offices. The first clause provides. that from and after the retire ment or decease of the said Lord Chief Baron, all the ju dicial duties of the Court of Exchequer, and also such duties as have devolved by act of Parliament on the Chief Baron and Baron, of the Exchequer, shall be discharged by the barons of the said court for the time being, until two of them shall have died or retired ; and from and after the re tirement or decease of such two of the present barons of the said court as shall first retire or die, the same judicial and other duties shall be discharged by the last remaining baron of the said court ; and such duties and powers as are now performed by or vested in the said Lord Chief Baron alone, shall, from and after his retirement or decease, be performed by or vested in the senior acting baron for the time being of the said court, or the last remaining baron, as the case may be. The next clause provides, that after their retirement or death the duties be discharged by a Judge of the Court of ' Session. As to the annuities to be granted to the Chief and other ' Barons, there • are blanks in the bill ; but it is understood ' they will be the same as if there had been 15 years of official service. GRAND MILITARY INSPECTION AND PRESENTATION. Saturday having been appointed by his MAJESTY for pre senting a pair of splendid silver kettle-drums to the Ist Regi ment of Life Guards, a very numerous and fashiona ble company, both from London and the vicinity of Wind sor, hate assembled on the Terrace and in the Homo.' Park, by half-past ten o'clock, to witness the imptl spectacle. About the same hour tbe 2d Battalion of stream, and the Ist Regiment of Life Guards, proceeded so the ground, which was kept by a party of the $i lancers. A troop of the Ist Life Guards tied one of is Royal Blues formed the guard of honour, and were sta. aimed in the Quadrangle. At a quarter past eleven the state trumpeter gave the flourish, which announced the pre sence of royalty, when the King appeared at the Grand entrance, anti immediately entered his barouelte, followed by the Duke of Cumberland. and the two Princes George andi Prince William of Saxe Weimar; the Queen entered the second barouche, followed by the Duchess of Gloucester and the Landgravine ; the third barouche contained the I)uche of Sure Weimar, the Duchess of Cumberland, Princess Augusta, Princess Augusta of Cambridge. In the remain-1 ing barouches were—Lady Westmeath (lady in waiting) Miss de Roes (maid of honour to the Queen) Mademoiselle Stein (in attendance on the Landgravine) Miss Wynyard, with the Princess Augusta ; and Mademoiselle Ahlefcldt. In all there were tell barouches and four with out-riders. His Majesty wore a Field Marshal's uniform and looked remark ably well. The Duke of Cumberland and the young Princes also appeared in military costume. When the royal party arrived on the ground, the horses were taken from the car riages, and the bands snuck up " God save the King." Their Majesties, on alighting, were, in addition to the Royal Party and suite, attended by Lords Bill, Comb:maitre, Edward Somerset (who commanded), Fitzroy Somerset, Sir Herbert Taylor, Major-General Wheatley, Colonel Thornton, Sir Andrew Barnard, Lends Frederick, Adolphus, and Augustus Fitularence, Sit James Kempt (Master of the Ordnance), and the Adjutant and Quartermaster-General, Ike. The silver kettle-drums (which were in every respect similar to those presented to the 21 Regiment on the 6th of last May) were then brought forward by four non-commissioned ufficen ot the Life Guards, and were afterwards presented by His Majesty to Colonel Lygon in a very Bettering speech, to which the Colonel made a reply, conveying the thanks of the regiment for the distinguished honour which had this day bees conferred upon it. This ceremony over, the troops warelied be fore the Royal party in slow and quick time, the bands playing in succession, anti their Majesties retired in the order in which they had arrived. The coup Wait from the terrace, which is always magnificent, from the extreme beauty of the sylvan scenery which it commands, was agreeably enlivened by the preseuce of the military, and the effect was yet further heightened as the royal carriages, containing their Majesties and suite, advanced towards the centre of the ground. INZever have we previously observed, on any similar occasion, a mots respectable or fashionable company on the terrace than was congregated there to-day ; and although the weather was rather unfavourable, during the whole of the morning, we did not observe that that circumstance had the effect of 'at all diminishing the number of elegantly attired females The Queen, accompanied by the Duchess of Gloucester, Duchess of Saxe Welmcr, and bliss de Roos, paid a visit to some of our tradespeople on Monday last. The royal pony walked from the Castle, and being unattended by servants in the royal livery were not generally recognized by the inhabitants. The officer, and men of the 66th reserve, now stationed at Clare Castle, subscribed a day's pay for the relief of the poor of the county Mayo. The money has been transmit. ted to the Dublin Committee. The officers and men of the 21st Fusileen, in Kilkenny garrison, have subscribed a day's pay. amounting to 411. Is 6d to relieve the distress of the sufferers in the west of Ireland. The 28th Regiment bat subscribed 431. to relieve the dia. tressed peasantry in the west of Ireland. We understand that in consequence of the active and very zealous exertions of the following officers in the disturbed districts of Clue and Galway, it is intended at head-quar ters to promote each of them to the rank of lieutenant colo nels in the army. viz. Major Maxwell, King's Dragoon Guards ; Major Ctabbe, 74th fegiment ; Major Ryan, 30th regiment, and Major Caddell, 28th regiment. Major Ryan, and a division of the Stith tegbeenr, left Six-mile.hridge this morning for Templemore, the head. quarters. Captain Harold's company of the 74th regiment have. marched from Maroc noose to Kilkishem and replaced Lieutenant-Colonel Shum's party of t h e 110th, ordered to loin head-quarters at Templemore previous to removing to The 6th regiment have received an order of readiness for Madre., to replace the 46th regiment, ordered home. It is thought that .81ajor.Geseral it Edward Blakeney and Sir Thomas Arbuthnot will succeed to the command of is, by the rettunal of officers to the two vacancies in Bay and Oh.

THE ANTI-SLAVERY view of the interior economy of Demerara plants tions. The horrific revelations of the Fiscal of Berbice, in 1825, served to sharpen our curiosity, which was still further excited by the apparent reluctance of the public functionaries in the ad joining Colony to disclose the secrets of the prison -house, end thus to open the eyes of the public, and even of Government itself, to the real condition of its slave population. The appoint ment of a Protector of slaves, in Demerara, bound to make periodical returns of all matters incident to his office, led us to hope for a full elucidation of their state. Enough was told to excite suspicions that the flattering generalities conveyed by the Protector respecting the contented appearance and happy state of the slaves of Demerara, could not be perfectly consistent, at least according to our European notions of happiness and content, with some broad facts of the case. The punishments, for example, of a single year, inflicted on this happy peasantry, when they came to be added up, amounted to about 20,500, the whole number of plantation slaves —men, women, and children, being under 62,000. We learn, too, from the new law of Demerara, so much vaunted by the forty-one authors of the West India Manifesto, that the legal weekly sustenance of each adult labourer is fixed at what is equivalent to two pounds of herrings and eight pounds of raw flour, and the yearly amount of clothing is one hat, one shirt, one jacket, and one pair of trowsers, for the men ; and one bat, one gown, one shift, and one petticoat, for the women ; of which quantities, boys and girls of fifteen years of age and under, are allowed two thirds, and boys and girls of ten years and under, one-half. Case of Rosey.—May 1829, appeared Rosey ; says, she belongs to Plantation Grove, on the East coast; that on Tuesday last, the 12th of May, she got a pain in her bowels while at work in the field ; I that she lay down, and that Mr. Henry Chapman, the manager, saw her, and asked wkat ailed her ? She told him ; but he ordered her to go on with her work, and struck her with a small stick and then with his fist, which knocked her down. „Ale then had her hands tied behind her and sent her home, and kept her in the stocks three days and three nights, and kept her sucking child from her during• that time, and that in consequence of her child not being given her to give it suck, her breasts swelled very much. The doctor saw her and gave her some medicine for the bowel com plaint. The manager afterwards wanted to confine her at night, but she hid herself. She left the estate last night, but did not ask for a pass. The Protector summoned Mr. H. Chapman to appear, and sent complainant to gaol. On the 23d both attended at the office. Mr. Chapman (the party accused) admitted, that he came to the field and saw the woman sit ting down. On asking what was the matter, she would give no answer. He gave her a slap in the face in consequence of her great impertinence. 'She was not confined in the stocks, but in one of the rooms of the hospital; her child is sixteen mouths old, and had previously been in the yaws house : it had been thought fit to be weaned before it was sent thither with the yaws. Case of George.—The complaint is that of George against Mr. Thierens, for detaining him in slavery, he being free from birth. His state ment is, " that his mother, Laura, wasthe daughter of the Indian woman Urine, of the Harno tribe; that his father was a slave of Mr. Trotts, and bead driver on Plantation Laurencia, where his mother lived, and was always considered a free woman • that after her death, which happened while George was a child, Mr. Trotts took him and his sister as slaves, his sister having now alive a 'son named Remy ; that after Mr. Trotts died, they were retained in slavery by his wife, and at her death became the property of her nephew, Mr. Thierens, in whose possession they still are. George referred to two persons who can prove his descent from the free Indian woman Laura; and said, that five years ago they had claimed their liberty, and were assisted in doing so by the Crown Advocate, Mr. Gordon, ho told them to return to the estate, and at ;.he end of six months they should be manumitted; but the promise had not been fulfilled." Mr. Thierens maintained that the claim of George to freedom was unfounded ; that he only thought of it when in liquor ; that at all oiher times the whole family had declared themselves contented and satisfied with their lot, and had even disclaimed any pretensions to their freedom, and this before two witnesses, who certified the same in writing, but without giving the names of the disclaiming slaves. Case of Janet.—Jame's story was to this effect : On Friday be bad been throwing green megans, (the sugar cane after the juice had been expressed by grinding and which is used as fuel when dry) out of doors, the megass houses being full. On Saturday he was ordered to the field, leaving the green megass of the preceding day out of door. His Saturday's task not having been finished he was ordered to finish it on Sunday morning before receiving his allowance. It occupied him till II o'clock. He was then obliged to put into the l ,house the megass which had been left out on Fri day, and which occupied him tiU six at night, when he went with the rest of tie people to throw grass for the cattle. The driver, however, charged him with not having housed his full share of the megass, and ordered him to the stocks on Sunday night. He denied the charge and got away, and did not go the stocks. On Monday, however, he was put into the stocks, and next day was flogged. The complaint of James was for having been un justly flogged, not for having been made to work all Sunday. Of this last circumstance the .pro teeter took no notice and dismissed the complaint of injustice as .unproved. Lowe.--irbe facts case were to the 1 in following effect: Mrs. Lowe was much addicted to drunkenness: she was also guilty of great cruel ties to her slaves. In February 1829, she cut the wrist of her female slave Present's right hand with a broken cup, and afterwards unmercifully beat her for going to a neighbouring estate to get it dressed: the hand being still 80 bad that it was likely she would never have the use of it again. In June 1829, she tied up a little girl called Elvira, by both her hands to the beam of the gallery, from eight A. M. to one P. M. and flogged ber unmercifully while thus suspended. The girl fainted three times before she was cut down, and her bands still bear the marks of it, and her fingers are contracted in consequence. Some time be fore, she tied up a little boy called Shigb in a similar manner, from nine A. Y. to six r. M. and the boy lost the use of his hands for some days. She had repeatedly taken a female child of Pre sent's, about seven months old, by the neck like a kitten, and thrown her a distance of two or three yards on the floor, and over the gallery, to the hazard of the child:s life. She often chased her slaves with a knife to stab them, and they only escaped by running out of the way. For years she had not given her slaves their allowance of clothing or food. She had now (21st August 1829,) been in town for several weeks, and her do mestics, four in number, have bad nothing to live upon since she had been from home, but the fish they might catch in the trenches, or what they might get from neighbours. The slaves are prevented from complaining to the protector, of the cruelty and bad treatment they receive from Mrs. Lowe, by the influence of her family over them. A neigh bour of beet', a Mr. Macintish, testified further that her cruelties had increased so much of late, as to call for interference. I.l..ving no outbuildings, the negroes slept in her own house, and she had been in the habit, in rainy weather, of driving them out of the house, some being infants, in the middle of the night, to wander about for refuge. All that was done by the Protector iu this case, was, to get the Court of Justice to take, from Mary Lowe. the charge of the slaves, and to place them under a Curator. Case of Acouba.—Acouba, a woman sickly and full of scrofulous sores, belonging to Mr. Sills, stated, that her master was too bad. lle beat her with a stick, on Friday and on Saturday. Having lost some money he said she must find it, and not finding it, she was put into the stocks in order to be taken to gaol.—Mr. Sills said, he had merely touched her with a whip. The surgeon of the gaol certified that she was afflicted with severe ulcera tion of the right cheek, and that her right eye was in a very high state of inflammation, and that with out, great care she would lose it. The only result If this case was, that Mr. Sills engaged to have her properly attended to in her own house, stating that the expense of keeping her in the gaol hospi tal was too much for him to pay, and she was then delivered up to him with a direction to comply strictly with his engagement. " This same woman Acouba (observes the Secretary of State), had about seven weeks before " in her own behalf, and that of her brother afflicted like herself with sores, and that of her husband, also deceased, complained of being Licked and beaten by Mr. Sills, and of no medical attendance being afforded them." The issue of that case was, that the Protector, having found the statements of the complainants, as to in sufficiency of food and allowance to be incorrect,' (though how they were found to be so does not appear, unless by the mere denial of Mr. Sills,) ' dismissed the complaint, directing Mr. Sills to provide them with such medical attendance and care, as they stood in need of.' Case of Fanny.—The complaint of Fanny was, that she had been tied, both hands and feet, laid down and flogged with a horsewhip, by order of her mistress, for not having found and brought back a boy who had run away, and in search of whom she had been sent. The complaint was cor roborated by two witnesses, from whose evidence, and the admission of the accused, it further ap peared, that the complainant had been put in the 'mocks for two days and two nights before the flog ging ; and that both these punishments were for the same offence, which was another violation of the law. The owner did not deny that she had caused the woman to be flogged, and only alleged that the punishment had been slight, and that the slave had not been tied, in which latter circum stauce she was contradicted by the woman she bad employed to inflict the Punishment ; YLT the only result of this case is, th at l the Protector not think ing it expedient to institute a prosecution, cautions the owner not to repeat the offence. The exact returns of punishments, for the first four half years, viz. from Jan. 1, 1828, to Dec. 31, 1829, are as follows : Idaki. Females• Total. Jan. to Joss, 1828 3,962 10,014 July to Dee. 111911 10,267 Jan. to Juno, 1811 ... 6,006 3,0d4 Bale July to Dec. 1828 ... ?AM 8,646 Total co two yaws .. 13,11.1 13,6141 MAN 'Among the punishments we observe some of portentous moment. In the first half year, 62 drivers are punished for neglecting their duty, and mutton renter. The Earl of ABERDERN not seeing the noble earl the head of his Majesty's government in his place ' was siraus of asking whether that noble earl would be in . house to-morrow ? It was his intention to put questions with respect to treaties with foreign powers, which, accord ing to the speech delivered by the King of the French been rendered nugatory. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE said the noble earl then in attendance upon his Majesty he had reason to pan the noble tall would be in his plat... tomorrow. On the Motional' the Bishop of LONDON, the Church Building Bill was read the secmti time, and committed Thursday. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY gave notice that should move the second tending 4 the Small Benefices 7 on Friday, and moved the Lords be summoned for that —Ordered. SEES SILL. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS presented a petition from the Clergy of his Diocese against the Beer Bill. ' Right Reverend Prelate having objected to the bill as I ing a strong tendency to demoralize the country fioni end to the other, was only desirous of stating, on that colon, a few propositions for amending the bill. First, t should propose that beer should be not allowed to be drun on the premises. Secondly, that every person applying r a license to keep a beer.ahop should be furnished with a ce tificate of character and Stness for the business. Third!) that power be given to constables to eater beer-houses, aria turn out visitors after a certain hour. Toe Right &mem: Prelate interested himself In this matter, conceiving that was his duty to advocate whatever might advance the mot.. and welfare of the people. The LORD CHANCELLOR agreed with thl . reverend prelate that something was necessary to be done this important subject. He could not, however, adept first proposition submitted by the reverend lord, names that the beer *Would not be drank ou the premises. Tit was the main question, and before it could be decided t: bill ought to have a fair trial. A committee of the o•li • house, after a long investigation, made their report, allowin, it to be drunk on the premises. The difficulty in adopt the propositions of the right reverend reverend prelate this, if they did all the reverend prelate suggested. magisterial jurisdiction would be restored to exactl" state it was In before the bill was pas.zd. (the Lord (hancelka'a) object was, when the was first in contemplation, to enable men to send wives and daughters to a decent shop where they could beer, but that object had been defeated. The 11:411 lindul could not send his daughter to such a place went to get , beer himself, sad generally took too much. He was happy to inform those who opposed the Bill, that the noble lord the hood of the Home Department had a measure pared for applying regulations, in order, if possible, to repealing the Bill , and at the same time to preserve the , eiple. The noble and learned Lord had no objection tog. under certain regulations, a power to enter beer.houses cases of disorderly conduct, and after certain hours at , those houses ought to Le shut up; but it required c siderable examination before they could give that poi rFe —With tto the penalties against tl.oAe houses, ditions m tbe made to the rxiNting statute law, something n the form of a certificate might be required. had not seen his noble friend's bill. hie oily knew that vie ct"areguladon would not alter the prat. iple of the 1a... dlgrenee between alteration ut the principle, and utak. r.te a regulation was obvious. He did not think that the Bill had had a fair trial ; another year would enable them to form a better judgment. The bill had been found objtctiut.sble. not as to principle, but want cf regulations. Try it ea.other year. and if it required to be altered in prh,eple, let it be altered. The Bishop of BATH and WELLS observed, that his greatest objectionwas to that part of tie bill which alltrid beer to be drunk en the preni::es. The ii ht rev. Mobile was anxious to see the operation of the intended bill. Lord TEYNH All was frizndly to the principle of the bill, but the malt duty did not remit the people to 'tam good beer. Lotd BEXLEY said brewers migh: be men of character, but experience proved that character did not bring fot th good beer. (Laughter.) The Beer Bill had been beneficial to the revenue. The duty given up was 2,000,001. and tin sariog 6,000,0001. The restrictions proposed by the ri i ;i:t t. prelate were no doubt the result cf cite best intentions. they would lead to great difficulties. He did not Lime whether the right rev. prelate had lately considered a Roc, - dent which proved the difficulty to which be alluded. Pope Pius was desirous of promoting morality, by prohibiting wipe from beind drunk by the people of, Rome in the wine. houses.
