Generally we conceive that the right to dower may be said to exist to a great extent to the injury of proprietors and purchasers, and to a comparatively small extent for the benefit of widows, and to some extent also to their injury, in leading them into or involvi►:g them in litigation.

PRICE 71). The true principle (as we think) on which the Law of Dower was originally established, and on which it has a claim on grounds of jus tice and policy (without sacrificing the general convenience) to be supported, is, that it should be considered as that interest in an estate of in heritance which the law takes from the heir of a deceased proprietor for the support of his wi dow, whose claims in natural justice and policy appear to stand at least on an equal footing with the claims of the heir; it is so far analogous to the provision which a law, established in mom modern times, has made for the widow out of the husband's personal estate undisposed of by his will. By combining this principle with another of high and perhaps paramount im portance, a principle which the law has carefully established almost to its fullest extent, viz. that a right of alienation should be inseparably inci dent to property of every description, we think that the Law of Dower may be put on a footing more beneficial on the whole to widows, and free from nearly all the present incomeniewiwainted mischiefs, Warehouse, 107, Strand, corner of the Savoy steps, Louden.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONERS ON THE LAW OF REAL PROPERTY. (Continued from our Paper of Friday.) DOWER. ESTATE IN SCOTLAND. The present Law of Dower gives to a surviv ing wife a right to have assigned to her for her life one-third of all the lands and hereditaments (with a few exceptions, such as common sans nombre and personal annuities) of which her husband was seised in law (that is, had the legal property by descent, there being at the same time no possession), or in fact, for an estate of inhe ritance in possession at any time during the mar riage, notwithstanding any alienation or disposi tion which the husband may have made of the estates, or any part of them. It does not give dower out of lands to which the husband had a right, but of which he had not seism in law or in fact. - Samples of not less than One Quart must be produced by the party tendering. The Conditions of the Contract may be seen at this Office. VIEWER AND ANOTHER V. COCKS AND OTHERS.

" The details which the writer gives cannot fail to be read with peculiar interest at the present moment."—Times. " Mr. MacFarlane.- is an acute and discriminating tra veller, and seems to have been exceedingly diligent in pur suing his inquiries into the condition and resources of Turkey."—Morning Chronicle.

GEORGE ROBINS respectfully makes known, that an apology is due to the mul titudinous applicants, who have lately had to wait for their commands being immediately attended to. The ex citement produced by this remedy for the wretched, im pure, and filthy water, supplied from the Thames, must be his excuse, and when it is added that 1,200 Filters have been ordered during the last fortnight, it is believed no further excuse for delay will be required. To his Agents, thoughout England, Iceland, and Scotland, be flatters him self the above will be found a satisfactory reason for the delay they have recently complained of. A reference to the opinions of all the eminent men of the profession in London, renders it superfluous to add their high testimony to the Royal Filter for remedying all the impurities and chrystallizing foul water. The following will be sufficient for the present pur pose : _ _ . Dr. JAMES JOHNSON, the author of the " Treatise on Indigestion," pronounces the water to be disgusting to the sight, and the effluvia to affect the senses." And he thus concludes—" We sneer," says the doctor, " at the delicacy. of the Hindoo, who slakes his thirst at the same, tank where his neighbour is sacrificing to Closcina ; but what s!•all we say to the delicate citizens of Westmin ster, who fill their tanks and stomachs with water from the Thames, at that very spot into which a hundred thou sand cloaca, containing EVER SPECIES OP FILTH AND ALL UNUTTERABLE THINGS, are daily disgorging their hideous and abominable contents. It is absolutely asto nishing, that in these days of refinement, and in a Metro polis whose inhabitants pride themselves on delicacy and cleanliness, a practice should obtain, at which posterity will shudder, if they can credit it." Dr. KEARISON makes us acquainted with a fact, the perusal of which will excite the same disgust in the mind of the reader, as we ourselves feel in narrating it. On in specting the Thames near the landing at Chelsea Hospital, he says he saw " the foul and black stream from the Rane lagh sewer, passing between the Company's steam-engine and the Dolphin, loaded with no small portion of uNDIYIDED FLOATING FILTH FROM PRIVIES;" from which he con cludes, that " a considerable quantity of human excre ment, in a subdivided and undecomposed state, actually passes into our cisterns." THE PORTABLE FILTERS, Possessing all the advantages of .purifying - and rendering► chrystal the worst water, may be obtained at the following prices 2 Gallon Size, purifying 12 Gallons per day ..255. 3 Ditto ditto 18 Ditto 6 Ditto...bandoomely ornamented, 40 Ditto 425. 9 Ditto 65 Ditto. 555. 12 Ditto 90 Ditto. 7ss. The Royal Filter, upon this plan, • will chrystallize and purify as much water in the course of the day as the largest consumption of a family can desire. There are also Portable Cisterns, capable of filtering from 200 to 500 gallons, every 24 hours. These can be sent to any part of the country. The Prospectus may be had, and Filters, in full opera tion, may be inspected, at the Office of the Patentee, George Robins, NIl. 69, Strand, opposite the Adelphi Theatre, where Orders are requested to be addressed. The Duchess of CL A RENCE, accompanied by the Duchess of SAKE-WEIMAR, left town yesterday morn ing for her residence in Bushy-park. The COURT refused to grant a new trial. MILLS V. CAPPER. This was an action brought to recover the value of a travellin g -b ag an d i ts contents, under the following circumstances :—The plaintiff engaged a seat in the Express coach from Stockton to York, on his way to London, and delivered his travelling bag to the guard (or coachman), who placed it in the front boot. - Upon arriving at the Black Swan, York, where he was to change coaches, the. plaintiff got out and went to the post-oflire. On his return in about half an hour or an hour, he• inquired for his bag, but no person knew what bad become of it, and it had never since been recovered. The Learned Judge (Bayley) before whom the case was tried at the last York assizes, after taking the opinion of the jury upon one or two points, tionsuited the plain tiff, giving him leave to move to set aside the non suit and enter a verdict for the value of the bag and its contents. Mr. Serjeant Wilde having obtained a rule last term to set aside the nonsuit and enter verdict for the plaintiff, Mr. Serjeant TADDY was now :about to show cause, when the Court intimated their opinion that the case ought to be further investigated, and granted a rule for a new trial. STATE PAPER. PROTOCOL of the CONFERENCE HELD in LON DON at the OFFICE of FOREIGN AFFAIRS, ON THE 22D OF MARCII, 1829, BY THE PLENIPOTENTIARIES OF GREAT BRITAIN, FRANCE, AND RUSSIA. Immediately after their arrival the Plenipoten tiaries of France and England will open with the Government of the Ottoman Porte, and in the name of the three Allied Courts, a negotiation founded on the Treaty of the Gth of July, 1827, respecting the pacification and future organization of Greece. It is well understood that each of the three Courts reserves for itself the right of weighing the value of the objections which the Porte may make to the propositions addressed to it, in fulfilment of the pre sent Protocol ; and that should those objections in duce the Courts to present other propositions, they would yet endeavour to come to a determination on the question of fixing, as promptly as possible, the limits of the Continent and the isles of Greece. It will be proposed to the Porte that the fron tiers of Continental Greece should extend fro►n the mouth of the Gulf of Volo, along the reverse of Of hly mountains, up to the western points of Agrapha, where those mountains form their junction w►th the chain of Pindus. From that point the frontier will edge the valley of Aspro-Potamo s as far as Leontelos, which remains part of the Turkish territory. It will then pass through the chain of the Macrinoros mountains and the river which bears that name, and which, coming from the plain of Arta, throws itself into the sea through the Am bracian Gulf. All the countries south of this line will form part of the New State of Greece. The islands in the neighbourhood of the Morea, that of Eubcta or Ne gropont, and the Isles known under the name of Cyclades, will also belong to that State. TRIBUTE.-It will be proposed to the Porte, in the name of the three Courts, that Greece do pay her annual tribute of 1,500,000 Turkish piastres. The rate of the Turkish piastre shall be settled at once, that it may never be taken for the high Spa nish piastre. In consequence of the present poverty of Greece, it will be agreed that, from the moment when the payment of the tribute shall commence, the first year there shall not be paid more than one-third, or less than one-fifth, of this sum of 1,500,000 Turkish piastres, and that this proportion shall be raised from year to year until the fourth, when the maximum of '1,500,000 shall be paid. At the ex piration of these four years, Greece shall pay the whole tribute annually, without any diminution or augmentation. INDEMNITY.-It will be proposed to the Porte that the Indemnity mentioned in the second article of the Treaty of July Gth be determined and settled in the following manner :- Ist. The Mussulmans (private individuals) pro prietors of estates on the newly-constituted Greek territory 2d. The Mussulmans (private individuals) who in the capacity of tenants or hereditary adminis trators, have an interest in the Vacqf-Sady of mosques on lands formerly Turkish, deduction being made of the amount of the impost levied on that Vacuf— Both these classes of MuSsuimans, whose claims shall have been recognised as valid, shall be bound to proceed themselves to the sale of their property, within the space of a year, with a proper reserve for the amount of the debts secured upon those estates. If within that time sales cannot be effected, Com missaries shall be appointed to estimate the value of the unsold lands; and when once that value have been ascertained and fixed, the Greek Govern ment shall give to the proprietors or heirs, whose claims and rights shall have been established, Bills upon the State, payable at periods agreed upon. The verification of the titles and debts, and the appraisement of the estates to be sold, shall be made by a Commission composed in equal numbers of Mussulmans and Greeks. It will be authorized to do justice to every claim, an d to pronounce upon every case submitted for its consideration, and on the losses experienced by the claimants during the Revolution. In order to prevent all difficulties and differences which might arise between the Commissioners of the two nations, with respect to t h e a b ove - ment ioned operations, to abridge and facilitate liquidation, and to arrive at a prompt and universally convenient set tlement, a Court of- Appeal shall be formed, and a Tribunal of Revision, composed of Commissioners - from the three Allied Courts, who shall decide in *the cases in which the Greek and Alussulmans Com missioners shall not be able to agree. SUZERAINETF..—Greece, under the Suzerainete of the Ottoman Porte, shall possess that internal ad ministration best suited to her wants, and best cal culated to secure to her liberty of conscience, of worship, and trade,. and the enjoyment of property and peace. For -this purpt,se the Administration of Greece shall assume, as nearly as possible, a monar chial form, and shall be entrusted to a Christian Chief or Prince, whose authority shall be hereditary in the order of primogeniture. In no case shall the choice otthisz Chief fall on the family of any of the three .Courts, parties .to the Treaty of the Grh of July. It shall be agreed in common. between them and the Ottoman Porte. • To secure to the Porte the stability of the tribute allowed her by the present Treaty, every Chief Shall receive the investiture of his dignity from her, and at his accession shall pay her the additional tribute of a year. Should the reigning branch be ex thiguislied, the Porte shall take the same part in o tltz tire ttol t. nomination -of a new Chief as she did in that .._i AMNESTY AND RIGHT OF DEPARTURE.—The Ottoman "Porte will proclaim full and entire amnesty, in order that in future no Greek may be called to account, in. the whole extent of her empire, for having taken, part in the Greek insurrection. On its side, the Greek Government shall grant the same security, within the limits of its territory, to every Greek or Mussulman of the contrary side. The Porte will allow a wilt& year to any of her subjects who may wish to leave her empire to settle in Greece, for the purpose of selling their property. They shall be permitted to depart freely. Greece will insure the same facility and the same period for the sale of their property, to the Greeks who will prefer returning under Mussulman domination. The commercial relations between Turkey and Greece shall be settled as soon as the articles spe cified in the present Protocol shall have been reci procally adopted. The Ambassadors of France and England shall claim from the Ottoman Porte the continuance of the truce which the Reis Effendi stated existed de facto on the part of the Turks towards the Greeks, in his Address to the Representatives of the Allied Powers in the Archipelago, dated the 10th of Sep -1 tember, 1828.. At the same time the three Allied Courts having decided upon the step which they take in opening fresh negotiations at Constantinople, with the sole view of settling the fate of the Greeks, shall claim from the Provisional Government of Greece the ces sation of hostilities on every point, and the return of the Greek troops within the line of the limits described in the foregoing proposition, without, however, any detriment to the future boundaries of Greece. As soon as the preceding dispositions shall have been agreed to by the Porte, their execution shall be placed, conformably with the sixth article of the Treaty of the Gth of July, under the guarantee of the three Powers by whom the Treaty was signed, and the rest will become the object of ampler stipu lations between the three Allied Courts, as declared in the precited article. Let it be understood that, from the present in stant, the guarantee of the Greek State now about to be formed is insured by the three Powers against all hostile enterprise on the part of Turkey against the Greeks. The Ambassadors of France and England shall reject all dispositions which might militate against this fixed basis. Although Russia, while adhering to these dispo- , sitions, be not represented at Constantinople by any individual invested with special powers, it is under stood that the negotiation will be carried on in her name as in the name of France and England; that all the articles shall be debated and agreed in com mon by the three Courts, and that under no pretence whatever shall any thing be acceded to which might tend to exclude Russia from the negociation or its results. The Ambassadors of France and England shall employ every means in their power to attain, in the shortest period possible, the accession of the Porte to the propositions which they are authorized to make to her. They will require from the Ottoman Government a prompt and decisive answer. The official documents to which the present ne gotiation may give rise, shall be drawn up in com mon by the two Ambassadors in the name of the three Powers, a triple copy shall be signed, and one shall be forwarded to each of the contracting parties. The basis of the present Protocol shall serve as instructions for the two Ambassadors in the nego ei„tions which they are to open with the Porte. The Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia has formally declared, on the part of his Sovereign, that he has been authorised to negotiate with the 'Turkish Government on all the points making part of the present Protocol ; and the Ple nipotentiaries of England and France have an nounced that, in order to attain the end in view, the representatives of their Courts at the Ottoman Porte consider themselves authorised to negotiate, without any other formalities, in the name of his Majesty the Emperor of Russia, as in the names of their respective Sovereigns, and will, for that pur pose, immediately repair to Constantinople, to act in a collective name and in concert.

The Hibernian, from Quebec for Pottaferry, and the George Canning, from the same place far Cork, were both wrecked in a heavy gale of wind and thick weather on the 7th November last, on the west end of Anticosti, an extensive but unin habited island in the mouth of the river St. Lawrence. Captain Bnyri.3.m, of the George Canning, and three , hands, were killed by the falling of the mainmast when the vessel first struck, and four of the remaining seamen perished by the cold. Both vessels were lost near each a o r tl r i i e v r e , daantd Quebec e t o o t n a t lt l ' e re 2 ts ii Part f;‘ii r il a the 4 i c t crews s se o l f l c o lc e l r ; Hunter, from Auticosti.

This law appears well adapted to the state of freehold property which existed at the time when it was established, and during a long period af terwards ; alienation was at first prohibited, and it long remained rare ; a disposition by will, ex cept as to estates in a few districts devisable by custom, was not allowed, so that the estate of the husband descending of course to his heir, there was not likely to be any difficulty in find ing the lands, a share of which was to be as signed, nor any interference with the property of third persons in making the assignment ; besides all which there was no fund for maintaining the widow but the real estate. This state of things has for a long period been so much changed, as to make the original Law of Dower highly inconvenient. Estates are now frequently conveyed away and charged by the husband, and it is desirable that there should be a power of so doing free from the burden of dower. The great increase too of personal property affords other means of provid ing for widows. The. Legislature long since, by the Statute 27 H. 8. c. 10. provided a method of diminish ing the evil to some extent, by making a join ture of a certain description given before mar. riage, a bar of the right of dower, though such jointure may be of inadequate value, and made to the wife before she has arrived at the age at which she is enabled to assent to such provision. Courts of Equity have enlarged the remedy by making some provisions not strictly within the terms of the statute bars of dower ; Courts of Equity have also obviated the inconveniences arising from dower, and also very materially re stricted and impaired the right to dower, by holding that equitable estates, a modification of the ownership of real property, which has been introduced since the Law of Dower was esta blished, and now exists to a very great extent, are not subject to dower ; and further, by hold ing that a purchaser may protect himself against the dower of the vendor' s wife in legal estates, 'by procuring the assignment to a trustee for himself of an outstanding legal term (in reality, a mere fictitious estate) decisions scarcely recon- . cilable with principles of justice (as they make the rights of parties liable to be affected by . technical rules and fictions), and contrary to a general principle laid down with respect to equitable estates, that equity shall follow the law, and at variance with the principle of deci sions in the analogous case of the husband's tenancy by the curtesy, which is held to attach to equitable estates. It may be observed here, that the statutable bar by jointure depends at law, and in case of the marriage of a female under twenty-one years in equity also, on the validity of the title to the jointure, it is therefore troublesome in questions with purchasers. In order to defeat the right of dower in cases' not within the statute, and to which the above decisions would not apply, purchasers have long had recourse to the contrivance of taking con. veyances of estates in a very artificial form, cplled a Conveyance to Uses to bar Dower, which, while it confers the whole beneficial ownership, and an absolute dominion over the legal estate, prevents the legal estate from so vesting in the purchaser as to make the property subject to his wife's dower. This ingenious form of conveyance, which was long in being perfected, and is now nearly universal, is found in practice to be attended with some irmn vemences, and owing to the mistakes of un skilful practitioners, it occasionally leads to seri ens mischiefs. By all these means the Law of Dower is in most instances evaded ; where husbands find their estates subject to dower, they very frequently make provision for their widows on the condi tion of their relinquishing their dowe‘r ; and sometimes without knowing that the right to dower exists, or without expressly noticing it, they make provisions for their widows, and at the same time make dispositions of their fee simple estates inconsistent with the enjoyment of dower by the widow, or which, by clear implica tion, indicate that dower is not meant to 1 - ;a en joyed by the widow. These last modes of defeating dower are found to be from various causes very uncertain, and often open to questions, and they are not unfre quent sources of litigation in which the widow finds herself involved, or is tempted by the un certainty of the law to engage. The general result is, that the right to dower exists beneficially in so few instances that it is of little value considered as a provision for widows, and we believe it may be confidently asserted, that it is never calculated on as a provisi o n by females wh o con t rac t marriage or their friend s ; yet there i s so muc h of uncertainty in the modes by which dower is prevented, that the actual or possible existence of the right is a very frequent and serious impediment to in tr ans f er o f pro perty, and the ascertaining n each case that it t b Y e don e f or pre has p asse d, or p does not e xist in the widows of an o.; the per s7onsc through urincr Ni c l . l , o c i s ns a t rl ; ve a i ct r.:[: ( e ) r venting or barring it where it does or mav exist, or securing the future production of tl, O of its non-existence„ 4rc t:l3 causes of frequent and great delay ;Ind expense attending such transfev. Thus where there is no person who The distinction as to dower between the hus band's seisin and his mere right, we think, in s the present state of things, irrational. We propose that dower should attach upon all estates of inheritance in possession, excepting the species of property to which dower is not incident; and on property considered in equity as real estate of or to which any husband dies seised or entitled in fact or in law, whether legally and beneficially, or beneficially only, which, if belonging; to the wife, would be sub ject to the husband's curtesy, but subject, like the interest of other persons having partial in terests in the inheritance, to any estates charges or incumbrances which the hoband may have lawfully created, or bound himself to create, and to his debts so far as they attach .on his freehold estates, and as to estates which he can affect by his will, to any disposition, direction, or declara tion made by his will, executed so as to affect freehold estate, and that dower should not attach on any other estate. By this enactment, the artificial distinction between legal and equitable estates will be taken away ; on the other hand, the subtle contri, vances to which we have referred will become unnecessary. We propose that a provision made by will for a widow out of personal estate, shall not deprive her of dower, unless the will, expressly or by clear implication, shall so direct, but that any devise of freehold estate shall be held to be free from dower, unless the contrary be declared. And that as to estates nhich the husband might by his will dispose of against his wife's right to dower, he may by his will, duly exe cuted, declare that such right shall be discharged without making any further disposition. And we propose that the enactments shall not inter fere with the rule of Courts of Equity, giving widows a preference over other legatees for lega cies given to them in satisfaction ofdower. And we propose that a declaration in any deed or in strument giving or devising estates of inheritance, may make the estate of the donee or devisee not subject to his wife's dower ; but these enact ments not to prevent Courts from enforcing on equitable principles, covenants or agreements of husbands not to bar the right to dower, nor to prevent the barring of dower by agreement or settlement, or its forfeiture by adultery. Owing to the inconveniences of the legal re medies for dower, it has only been enforced in modern times by a suit in equity. This species of suit, on account of the complication of inte rests in the property, is very frequently tedious and expensive. We endeavoured to devise some method of giving to the wife her dower in a form which might put her in possession without legal process ; and the mode of a rent-charge and that of making the wife tenant in common of the lands out of which she was dowable, occurred to us. After anxious consideration, we arrived at the conclusion that no benefit could be secured to widows by any such expedient, without hazard ing injury much more than commensurate to other parties interested in the lands, and endan gering an increase of litipti.m. We vet hope that some improvement of the compulsory me thods of effectuating the right to dower will be found practicable. There are some antiquated species of dower, as dower ad ostinm ecclesice and dower ex assensu pairis, now entirely out o f use : these in substance are very imperfect modes of settlement for barring the common law right to dower ; we propose to abolish them. We do not propose at present to extend the alterations of the Law of Dower to gavelkind lands or borough English lands, or to copyhold or customary lands, as to all which the ,night to dower or free bench is regulated by a variety of peculiar customs. We deem it expedient to postpono the recommendation of any further alteration of the laws relating to those several tenures until the whole subject shall come under our view, CURTESY. The Law of Curtest gives to the surviving husband an estate fjr his life in his wife's here ditaments in po4session, held for an estate of in heritance b,• ; , a legal title of which there was actual 84:isiri, if t h e nature o f t h e property mitted of actual seisin, o th erw i se seism iv j iaw or by an equitable title, and to which tl: ere was any issue born d ur i ng th e marriage 'which might by possibility inherit. It is in many particulars analagous to the Law of Dower ; but owing to the circumstance that married women (...annot alien their estate:: without the concur - x:1e:: of their husbands, and that the husbantL can at any time discharge the estate from theit: right of curtesy, this right is free I:y.)1n Ott: principal inconveniences atter,li D , l • the riet to dower, an d i t h as not durinc, a ion , period been treated by the law with same di::- favour, nor subjected to any simiki restrictions or evasions. Upon the establishmen' 4 01 equitable estates subsequent to the Statute of Uses they were held subject to cnrtesy, though not to dower. Th present state of the Law of Curtesv has :given rise to few, if any, complaints, and there is no very strong reason Ibr altering it. A strict ride of great antiquity, however, makes cutesy not attach oti legal estates ad mitting of seisin in fact, where the husband did not obtain seisin in fact during the coverture. That rule can now very rarely come into ope ration, because the possession of tenants for years gives a seisin in fact to the rightful landlord, and
