delay' in the Court of Chancery, awl to Parch the Journals of the Lords, in order to discover the ex- t l en t of the appellant jurisdiction. lt was darn decided that some assistinice ought to be afforded, wit h ...Iwo to the ditty ca.t on the Lord Chained hot h r the m i l led:gat jurisdiction of the High Court of Cliancerv. His object was, to inquire whether the some time,. then given had or had not been ef feeto,l. He ((intended that it hail not. 11, one instance, that of the appellant jurisdiction of the now of Lords, the business were conssderably danioithed—the number of appeals were reduced from about 300 to 140. But, II t o t hi s was the fact, there were no less than 26 important cause. wasting for judgment at preset. Now, if any thing should happen, by the death of the present Chan. cellor (an event which no Mall would deplore more than himself), or by his removal from office, isi contequence of a change of Administration, every one of those causes, thus standing over for judg. ment, most he heard, de mono, at an enormous expense. With respect to the business of the Court of Chancery, he could chew that no effectual relief had beets Allurtled by the measure adopted a few rears ago. In June, 1811, whets the Committee of inquiry was moved for and carried in that House, it appeared from the Report tlwn made, that there were 114 causes on the paper of the Court of Chin cery, the exceptions• demurrers, and oilier matters o f t hat nature were 59 in number, the appeals were 35, the re-heariugs 6, and the bankrupt petitions rrmenunK in be heard 203• In the following ye ar t h eir WA% little or so vartatiou. He would now s l a te the amount of business at this moment. There were sit present on the Chancery paper 289 canoea—heretofore there were only 114. Of race's. nein soil demurrers there were 10, of pleas 27. These items were ceet•silly diminished—but the appraisals(' re-hearings now amounted to 101. Ile b e gged leave, in making this statement, distinctly to uhrorve, that he bad the greatest possible respect for the three Judges who presided in the different Courts of Equity. As to the Lord Clnaiscellor. he Was a Mart whom he hail, for many years, met in habit* of friesolship, which he trusted would never be disturbed. With the Vice- Chancellor he had also been long in habits of friendly inninecy—and, for forty years. he had known and respected the Master of the Rolls. The House would, therefore, give him credit when he said that he felt fur those individuals a very consi derable degree of esteem—but still he would en deavour to call the attention of the House and the public to the present state of the Court of Cli eery, with reference to the relief afforded to the suitors. He unfortunately failed is persuading the House against adopting the o ffi ce of Vi c e-Chan. cellor. The object he had in view at that time, and which he still wished to street, was one I lie thought would effectually remove many olnaa. Iles that now retarded t;se administration of jus tice iss the Court of Chancery. His plan was to. remove all matters connected wills cares of bankruptcy from the jurisdictions of die grist seal. The Court of Chancery did not originally poser's that jurisdiction, and the best and safest way would be to take it from the Chastener and place it in other hands, When the Hesse was occupied with the great question of effecting a thane in the law relating to bankrupts, he would, previous to their going into a Committee, move, as all 1116111101101) to that Committee, that they should take into consi deration the propriety of separating the jurisdiction ever bankrupt petitions from the great seal. The Bill, which came down from the other Il.mse, n was easy to prove, had not relieved the suit.as in the Court of Chancery, except in cases where the Lord Chancellor had been i a...Japan,'. and unabl e to attend. He wished now to throw out. simply as a notice, that lie meant, at a future period, to sub. mit to the House the propriety of separating the office of Chancellor front that of Speaker of the House of Lords. It was said, and the observation was generally correct, that, from every Court in Ragland, there was a substantial appeal—but, h e contended that the suitor in equity hail no subst a u. nal appeal. Let any Gentleman nalk into the House of Lords, and he would see appeals from the High Court of Chancery, involving the nicest points of law, argued before, and decided by, the Lord Chancellor, and perhaps two lay Lord-. Wh a t wa s this hut an appeal from the Lord Chancellor's de. vision, in one Court, to the self-same Lind Chan cellor, presulmg in another ? From the jurardic. thus :4* the Lords of Sessam in Scotland there was an ,Blest to the Lord Chancellor; there was also an appeal, in like manner, from the decision of the Courts in Leland. La these instances, the causes Caine heal, before the Chancellor, and he was not guided or bias,eil by any view lie had previously iken of the subject. The Chancellor laid paid great attention to the Scotch Law, and his decisions, in StOtel gave general satisfaction. Writ of error, from the Courts below, also came I rest' befine him, and were decided without any re f•Jruce to 'odiously formed opinions. But the motors who appealed from the judgment of the Court of Chancery had ion the saute advantage. By the weight which the Chancellor's opinion had, lie ruled the decision of the House of Lords, and the appeal to that jurisdiction was, its lint, merely nominal. This subject was one worthy of very at. TIOUS consideration, particularly when it was recut. lected that one-fifth of the property of the country was manually adjudicated by the Lord Chancellor, without auy assistance in arrivirig at a just de( ision. The Lear-owl Geotlemati concluded by moving fur l'.e accoui,t which lie had specified its the com a, :ncemeut of hiss speech. SoLit:ITUR•GENERAL did not mean to off. any observations on the various important subjects which the Learned Gentleman bad noticed, as each 4 f those topics would afford matter fur an ample and eularged discussion. The House must cer tainly feel the justice of the panegyric the Learned Gentkmati had pronounced on the Lord Chan , Ara, than whom no Judge ever enjoyed, more umpletely. the confidence of the country and of die suitors who had business in 1111 Court. The Learned Gentleman was, however, mistaken, when t e supposed the arrears generally in the Court of Chant:trey to have increased. That the number of appeals had increased he could readily believe, be come moodier Court of Equity had been establish rd, and it was natural to suppose that there mould be appeals from that Court as there hail previously been frees the decisions of the Master of the Rolls. With respect to bankrupt petitions, they were now tonsiderably fewer than they bad formerly berm To 1815.16, tbey •mctnule.i 1A16.1;, to 673—:nu) at prei.ent there were only 227—at the same time that the arrear was not increased, but wer really decreased. He would not argue how far it would be proper to separate the bankrupt peti tos front the Court of Chattrery. The present wit, nut, he thought, a fair time to notice the arrear of appeals before the finuse of Lords, when, from 0.! Chancellor's state of health, he bad not been able to give judgment in a number of cases, al though he had seriosidy intended it. The appeals had, however, compared with former periods, been considerably diminished. A greater number of appeal, had heel, decided in the last three or four years tlwii hail ever been adjudicated by any Chan cellor, us a similar period. Independent of which a vast number of causes had been disposed of, on mutton, the parties preferring that summary mode, in consequence of their reliance on his cornet judgment.

Letters have been received from the Monarch, of 22 guns, dated IGth February last, off St. Kitt's, stating that the had captured a Spanish brig, laden with aine, brandy, &c. valued at 50,000 dollars, which she had fallen in with on the Sih, then iu pm:session of a pirate, and sent her for Aux Cayes. The pirate effected her escape. The Monarch is one of the ships that sailed from the Downs in the latter end of December, with troops and military stores fur the Insurgents in South America.

The Bill fur regulating the Windsor Establish ment, and for granting an annuity of 10,000% to the Duke of YORK, as (Antos Persona, gave occa sion last evening to au animated debate in the House of Lords. The grant WAS opposed by Early GREY, DARNLEY, and the Marquis of LANs- DOWN ; but the Bill linalTy passed through the Committee without a division. The Sun of last night has made a notable dis covery in our observations of yesterday, upon the difference of the statements made by the CHAN CELLOR of the ExclisAirtn, the FIRST LORD of the TREASURY, and Messrs. GREN FELL and TIER NET, respecting the anioutit of the balances of the Exchequer in the Bank, available under the new Rill to the public service, which has been severally stated by them at three, four, and six millions.— The Sow has discovered that THE BRITISH PRESS was jocular, but we regret that we cannot congra tulate that Print upon its bagicity in this instance. A difference of three millions sterling is no trifle, even in the enormous expenditure of the country—it is no trifle in a country, the yearly expenditure of which is twelve millions more than its meatus. This is too serious a subject for mirth, and it would have argued very bad taste indeed to have mixed jocularity with our obstrvations.

If Ibis title, to candour amid correctness be well werrdiited by the fact, the hook is certainly a compldte refutation of the scl.ounts or the treatment of Bonaparte given by Count Las Cases and Doctor O'Meara. All the complaints of bad and scanty food, inconvenient habitation, restricted exercise, and the unnecessary harshness and capricious tyrantly exercised by Sir Hudson Lowe and his subordinate•, are false and groundless fabrications. The beef, breml,Koul water, the writer says, are all of excellent quality ; Long wood, the habitation of Bonaparte, far from being " destitute of shade, water, amid coolness," is situate I , on a Verdant VIM el," within Ilse luxu riant shade of a dv,oot extendrog ,early four miles in kiwi), from which it derives its name ; and, to the personal knowledge of the wilier, the treatment of Bonaparte at St. H•lo•ua, so far from bring capricious and annoying, is, to every respect, with proper regard to his security, mild and geode; the minutest attention is paid to the most oritliiig of his whims and fancies, every accommodation is afforded !lira in his residence, which is commodious ; and, finally, he is in sxcellent health and spirits.
