This work has undergone a very laborious revision ; in every instance where the slightest obscurity appeared in tracing lines of descent, the whole matter has been re modelled, and a plan entirely new pursued generally, which it is hoped will satisfactorily obviate the hitherto universal complaint against houks of genealogy, in regard to per spicuity. To render this department as interesting as possible, accounts will be found of many celebrated extinct houses. A very large addition has likewise been made to Co!la terals, so that all within the remotest remaindeiship to honours, appear in their proper places and a description of the armorial bearings of each house is given in the body of the work, independently of the engravings.

Prince LiEvEN, the Russian Ambassador, and the Princess LIEVEN, were of the party given by the Duke and Duchess of WELLINGTON, on Monday, at their residence in Downing-street. The Gallery of the late Mr. \VEsT is daily crowded by the Connoisseurs to take a farewell view of the vast collection of pictures which enrich its walls. There is not another instance in the annals of the Fine Arts, wherein the whole works of a long life devoted to painting have been preserved together, like those of the venerable late President of the Royal Academy. This Collection, so abounding in all subjects, and treated with such rare mastery, can he seen but a few days longer, as their sale, and final dispersion will take place within the present month.—The sale of the whole must be peremp tory. We have the best authority for this assertion. A work of unusual interest is announced, under the title of " Travels in Turkey, Egypt, Nubia , Palestine, &c." by R. R. MADDEN, Esq. The author , who it appears is a-physician, and has been sojourning f o r four years in these countries, was enabled, by virtue of his profession, to ascertain the actual state of Turkish society manners, and customs, and to furnish more accurate in formation than has ever appeared on the subject. Dur ing his travels in the East he visited the sites of Troy. Memphis, Thebes, and Jerusalem, and other interesting ruins. STATE OF TRADE.—We have not heard of any particular change in trade this week. The market for goods continues very much depressed, and business lies been considerably interrupted by the disturbances which pre vailed in the early part of the week. The demand for water twist for the Russian market continues very good ; mule yarn is dull of sale.—Mitnehester Mercury. It is said, but we know not on what authority, that the Government have it in contemplation to confer the power of electing Members of the House of Commons upon the large and unrepresented towns, such as Birming ham, Manchester, and Leeds ; and that it was on this ac count that the Retford affair was postponed at the request of Mr. PEEL, till the next Session. We give this as a mere rumour, the truth of which we neither deny nor af firm ; but we have no hesitation in saying that such a pro ceeding would be, in every point of view, very politic. Nothing is so calculated to preserve the peace of a town under any temporary distress, or under the idea of any imaginary grievance, as having Representatives, to who , n the people can make their complaints, an d t h roug h w h o m they can get them laid before Parliament and the country. If Manchester and the large neighbouring towns returned Members for Parliament, we should have a great deal less of local excitement than we have under the present system. The better-informed portion of the weavers, instead of making speeches to their fellow-workmen, and thus in flaming their passions, would employ themselves, as they do in such places as Coventry and Leicester, in composing orations for their Members, and if they happened to be as clever as Mr. OTWAY CAVE or Mr. FYLER 7 they would let them off in the House of Commons, awl thus acquire a vast deal of credit for themselves, and give infinite satisfac tion to their constituents. B. sides, the bringing the lower classes into connection with Members of the Legislato4l would be calculated, in other respects, to keep them from the commission of any acts of outrage. They would na turally look to their Representatives for advice, and they would no doubt receive such as would be calculated to soothe their passions, toteach them to look to other means than those of violence to obtain redress. We trust that the Duke of WELLtNozorg and Mr. PEEL will take this hint into their consideration. They may rest assured that if it had not been for Messrs. CAVE and FYLER, the weavers of Leicester and Coventry would have been quite as troublesome as those of Manchester and Rochdale. — Morning Paper. ' »Priori of eimhitieti months luul elapPeci. I,Vten tile ce ;vas pronoti wed, it n,i 4 ;-ht be perhaps a decree re lerring Ole cause hack to the Master, and several roil hs must elap a betbre he could make his repo t. W hen the Muster manes his report ; exceptions rresy be taken ; the exceptions are act dolYn fiir a hear ing, but t:eelye rnontl,r, insist elapse ,before tle .!eptic,ns can be argued. Further exceptions inav then be taken by the other- pi:Ay, and a delay of twelve months more may - elapse before the catr, comes on to be hearti If the exceptions are allowed, the cause goes back to the Master, and the execu tions are then set down for argument, so that a very long period elapses when a cause is litigated, before it is finally heard. The case may be set down for further directions, which will occupy eighteen mouths more, anti the Judge may pronounce decree when the sante period has elapsed. In ad verting to this subject, the statement I have made to your Lordships is not overcharged. I have only given you a correct account of a cause in equity, that your Lordships may see the full extent of the evil which the delay produces. Your Lordships must not suppose that this evil is one of modern times. It is of long standing, and must be corrected. The Government will desert its duty—Parliament will' desert its duty—if this evil, which has been long complained of, be not remedied. It is of no use to have removed obstructions at the early stages of the process, if they are suffered to accumulate at .the end. It is useless, or rather it is worse than useless, to free the channel of the stream at its be ginning, while theJ'obstacles to'its course as it pro ceeds are allowed to remain, for that will only hasten on the progress of the waters, till where the obsta cles are the greatest they will overflow the country. These evils have existed ever since the COurt of Chancery was established. These evils originated with it,and they must be remedied. In Sir Tiles. More's life, I find it stated, that.when he entered the Court, he found it locked up with caitses,some of wiiielt laid been there for•-a petioil of from 20 to 30 years. Coming down to the time of Lord lacon,l -- tintl his speech, on taking his seat in the Court, and oil referring to the instructions he received horn King James, there are allusions to this evil. In IW3I, the House of Commons, I find that a Member cif tration of justice should be expedited in that Court which has go important a trust. It is important, however, my Lords, that no misapprehension should exist on this question. When we speak of expediting the administration ofjustice, and when we speak of guarding against every delay, we must al ways consider that there are relative terms in order to prevent us forming incorrect conceptions. A suit in the Court of Chancery has no resemblance to ,s suit at common law. In a suit at common law two individuals, or two sets of in dividuals, having , he same interest, contest one or two points which can be put in issue, and such questions can be soon lecided, can be soon known and determined. This is not the case, however, with a suit in equity. A suit .in equity relates to a very complicated descrip tion of property ; it is very often the business of the Court to take measures to collect that property from many adverse suitors, and afterwards to make just distribution of that property among many con ilicting and contending claimants. The object of a eitiit in equity implies very often an inquiry into all the questions of property connected with the suit. If your Lordships were to contrast the speedy de cisions at common law with the decisions of a vourt of equity—if you were to apply to the latter the expedition used in the former—if you were to judge from a -suit at comiami-law equity, your Lordships would c ,me to an unin formed and rash conclusion. Having made this statement of the object to be attended to in consi dering suits in a court of equity, I shall proceed to consider the changes which have been recom mended in the first part of such a suit. In 1825, as will be well known to your Lordships, Commis sioners were appointed to inquire into the proceed ings of the Court of Chancery, and into the means of obviating the delays and inconveniences which were said to exist, which did exist, and which now exist, in conducting and exi editing a suit in HOUSE OF LORDS.—(LAST NIGHT.) Mr..BANKES, Col. SIBTIIORPE, Mr. BLACKBURN, Sir EDWARD LLOYD, and Mr. DAVENPORT, brought up several private Bills. Mr. SUDDEN brought up the Infant Property Bill, a Bill for amending the laws relating to the Transfer of Estates, a Bill for facilitating the Payment of Debts and of real Estates, and the Illu 3ory Appointment Bill. . Sir ALEXANDER GRANTDrougnt up the Clerk of the Pleas Bill (Ireland) and the West India Dock Company Bill. Lord DACRE moved the third reading of the Covent-garden Vestry Improvement Bill, which, together with several others, was read a third time. Lord SKELMERSDALE presented a petition signed by upwards of 8,000 inhabitants of Great and Little Bolton, praying their Lordships to prevent the payment of wages, otherwise than in money. RENEWAL OF THE EAST INDIA COMPANY'S CHARTER. The-Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose, agreeably to his ration; to present a petition frorn thekrespec blei4bitants of Manchester, praying their Lord ' take consideration the \exiAiericy. of opening the trade to the East Indies, and the expediency of imposing such limita tions as that opening would require, upon the pre sent charter of the East India Company when it came to be renewed. If their Lordships wished to discharge their duties as Legislators, they would not fail to familiarise themselves with the important considerations that arose out of the present petition. It propounded a series of most important questions, upon which their Lordships must form definitive opinions in the course of a few years. It often hap pened that their Lordships were under the necessity of forming opinions upon matters either upon prin ciples of government or of commerce. In the present case they might be called to do ?o with respect to distinct interests and countries, which could not be brought under consideration but by industry on their part. He hoped their Lordships would not shrink from the great, if not insuperable, difficulties of the present question. He did not mean by what he had just said to call en the Noble Duke at the head of his Majesty's Government for any declaration by which to regulate the opinion of their Lordships on the present question ; he not only did not do so, but he hoped they did not form any thing like a rash opinion. The documentary evi dence alone could enable any one to form a judgment satisfactory to themselves. Their Lordships by this measure would have to determine the commercial pro sperity of England ; they might have to determine on that which might affect the Constitution; they would the name of Althorpe, who, on referring to the Parliamentary Debates, appears to have - been an active Member of Parliament of that time, declared that the causes in the Court of Chancery were kept there from 20 to 30 years. At the same time, Coke stated that the business of Chancery was so great, that no Chancellor and no Master of the Rolls could equity. No individuals could be selected better qualified, from their great experience, learning, and information, with respect to the subject to which their ,inquiries were directed, than the gentlemen who were appointed en that Com mission. Your Lordships may, perhaps, sup pose that these individuals were prejudiced in favour of the existing system, from having passed their lives in the profession of the law, and that they would be careless of the abuses ; but it is well known, my Lords, that there were some individuals on that Commission, who had no such prejudices, and who would do whatever was possible to expose the existence of abuses. If they were contented, it is to be presumed that there was nothing further to oppose. Having said thus much in respect to the views of the Commissioners, Ishall come to the Bill, and state what are those points touched on by the Commissioners to which I have directed my attention. One material point which had first engaged their attention, as far as expediting a cause was concerned, was to examine the several steps of its progress from the first commencement of a suit till it was set down for hearing. It was supposed, and the opinion was well founde], that in a great many instances the delay was in the progress of the cause between these stages. The Commissioners, as the result of their inquiries, extensively =lied on, came to a certain conclusion, and framed certain have to determine on the lot of 60 or 70 millions of people, whose interests had become connected with theirs. All that he now asked was, to hear from the Noble Duke opposite, not what was his opi►►ion, but what was the course of Parliamentary inquiry he was prepared to recommend ? He was sure his Majesty's Government must be as anxious as he was, to enable their Lordships to come to a final decision. It had been usual in great questions of this sort to institute a Committee, fur the purpose of bringing before their Lordships all the knowledge and details possible. But whether it was the intention of Government that such a Committee should be formed or not, he was sure it was their wish to suggest as convenient a form as possible, for bringing the matter before their Lord ships. He- should not allow the session to close without moving for such documentary evidence as he might consider important. That evidence might be prepared during the recess, and their Lord ships would be enabled to come to the consideration of this important subject next year, when all the materials were before them. That motion he should make at a convenient period. All that he asked in the mean time was, assurances, which he had not the least doubt would be given, that ample time and opportunity should be allowed for the consideration of a question of such importance. The Noble Marquis requested that the petition might be read at length, stating that it embraced the whole commercial feelings of Manchester, and he had reason to believe the feelings of all large towns. Lord ELLENBOROUGH could assure the Noble Marquis that his Majesty's Government felt the extreme importance of this question. Ile could assure him also that from the day on which he had the honour to be a Member of the Government, he had never had the subject out of view, nor had it ever been absent from his mind. He had taken means of obtaining the fullest know ledge which would be laid before their Lordships at the proper period. It was his wish that their Lordships should have the fullest information, and he could assure the Noble Marquis that his Ma jesty's Government by no means wished their Lordships to pass any measure without haying the bearings of it weighed in every point of view. But he was not prepared at the present mo ment to state what course his Majesty's Govern ment might think proper hereafter to advise the adoption of. Lord CALTHORPE presented a petition from the members of the Chamber of Commerce and Manufacturers of Birmingham, to the same effect. The feelings of the manufacturers and mercant il e people throughout this great empire were alive on this subject, and the most intense solicitude existed that the Legislature should take the question under consideration, for the purpose of reforming the system. _ _ propositions for accelerating the progress of a suit in equity between the time it was first begun and when it was set down for hearing. These proposi tions, so fra'ned by the Commi3sioners, had since been turned into orders by the J udge, and were now the orders of ail the courts of equity. I may venture dispose of it. In the same year, a Bill was brought . in to add two assistant Judges, which was read a first time, and afterwards dropped, for what I know not. In 1653—1 am tracing down the pro gress of this Court—in 1653, the House of Corn mons voted a resolution to regulate the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery. It was then stated that one of the greatest grievances of the country were' the delays of the Court of Chancery. The attention of Parliament was, however, unsuccessfully directel to obviate the difficulties. On referring to the Life, of Lord Keeper North, who held the Seals un,ltr Charles 11., I find that it is stated by Roger North, hat the aeuumulation of business was so great in the Court of Chancery, that it oppressed him, and . even hastened his death. In 1707, a work wti , i published, stated to be written by an Attorney of the Court, a work of some celebrity, which has passed thrOUgh several editions, and in it the evil I have alluded to is mentioned. In 1756, a period that was thought to be a bright part of the history of the Court of Chancery, a work was published, entitled " Animadversions on the Court of Chancery." In that a statement is made to the same effect ; the evil is described as usual and of old standing, and it is not supposed that the matter can. be worse. I come to the Noble Lord who preceded me in. the office I have now the honour to hold, • and I find that the same evil existed in his time. Tim same evil then existed, and the same evil exists now,, The 'Suite of RICHMOND presented a petition from the county of Suffolk, praying for protection to the British wool growers against the importa tion of foreign wool. Lord DARNLEY postponed his motion ti. Monday. COURT OF CHANCERY. The LORD CHANCELLOR—ME Lords, I rise for the purpose of moving the second rerding of the Bill which I took the liberty of laying a few nights ago on your Lordships' table to facilitate the administratio n of justice, and in suits and other pro ceedings in the courts of equity. It is my inten tion in moving the second reading to redeem the pledge I gave on that occasion, of stating to your Lordships shortly and distinctly, the circumstances which gave rise to the Bill, and the view which I, as a memb er o f hi s M a j esty ' s Government, tak e o f the ,subject to w hi c h the Bill relates. In what I propose to submit to your Lordships I shall endea vour to exp ress myse lf c l ear ly a nd distinely, in o r d er to be abl e , as f ar as my powe r goes, to put y our Lordship s completely in possession of the subject, and enabl e your L or d s hi ps to f o rm your own judg ment of the question to which the Bill relates. It will not be denied, that it is the duty of every Go vermnent to provide for the speedy administration of justice. If this is the duty of every Govern ment, it must be peculiarly the duty of the Govern ment of this great commercial country in whi c h a ll the branches of property are complicated in every part of the empire. When I recall to your Lord ships' recollection, that by a return made to the other House of Parliament, the property rested in the Court of Chancery, and subject to its orders, decrees, and directions, is of the enormous amount of forty millions'sterling; that a very considerable portion of this sum is the subject of litigation, and that many parties are interested in it ; your Lord ships will f ee l as strong l y as I do the great interest , the people of this empire have that the advainis to state, and there are many Noble Lords intimately acquainted with the subject, that a due attention has been paid to the recommendations of the Com missioners, and the orders have been framed on the basis they laid down. The Commissioners' recom mendation being carried into effect, in their opinion a suit in equity is now forwarded as rapidly as is consistent with justice, between the time of its com mencement and being put down for a hearing. 1 have now done with the first pat of the case, and 1 shall, in the second place, point out to your Lord ships the subsequent part of the proceedings. Some doubts may be fairly entertained of the propriety of the form of the Bill and Answer, though the Com missioners, after examining many witnesses, came to the conclusion that no alteration for the benefit of the suitor could take place. Another point which the Commissioners inquired into, and about which there may, perhaps, be some difference of opinion, is the mode of examining witnesses in suits of equity. The opinion of the Conan . :ssioners was una nimous on this point, and they decided that ho alte ration could be made for the better. Saying nothing further of the first stage of the inquiry, I pass to the next point investigated by the Commissioners, or after the cause is set down for hearing. When a cause is set down for hearing, and even when it is heard, it is not finally disposed of. The first decree is frequently limited to sending back the cause to the Master to make further inquiry. Much, then, will depend on the Masters, and on the man ner in which their inquiries are conducted. It was very generally supposed that improper delays took place in the Master's Office. The Commissioners had directed their attention to this subject, and had made certain recommendations; but I do not be lieve that the Commissioners were satisfied with the result of their proposals. It is certainly a sub- It is impossible, iii mentioning that Noble and Learned Lord, notwithstanding the political differ-. ences of opinion which prevailed between us—it is impossible that 1 should mention that noble and Learned Lord without adding that no person is more sensible than 1 am of the great merit of the Noble and Learned Lord, and that my admiration is increased from day to day for his great erudition and attainments. IN the profession it is generally said that no man ever doubted his decrees, but the Noble and Learned Lord himself. lam sore that nobody ever sat on the Bench of the Court of Chan cery who was more completely master of the subject of his jurisdiction than the Noble Lord evinced him self to be, during the period when he held the office of Lord High Chancellot.—(Hear, bear.)—What ever may have been the opinions expressed as to causes of the delays in the Court of Chancery, I, after having availed myself of the opportunities which I have had of thoroughly viewing the metier in all its bearings, am bound to say that I do not ascribe the delays to him. It is part of the system. The Court never has had the strength and the power to dispose of all the cases that erne before it without considerable delays. Anothee Cause of the accumulation of causes in the Court of Chan cery, arising from the impossibility of hearing a cause immediately on its being ripe for hearing is, that when a cause is ready for hearing, it remaine for a long time undisposea of; this gives rise t o a great variety of motions, which motions may be appealed from, and often have again to be disposed, of on a rehearsing. Another evil which arises f7oirt the same source is, that after a cause is ready for hearing, and remains for a considerable time, parties die, and then comes the necessity for supplementary Bills to bring other parties into the . cause, and thus the whole case becomes more complicated and more difficult to unravel, merely from the impossibility of hearing a cause when it is first ripe for bearing. I hope your Lordships are now of opinion that I have made out a case which calls for your Lordships' in terference. It is, indeed, admitted on all hands that this'is an evil which requires a remedy ; and the only question is, as to the mode in which the re medy shall be applied, so as to be effectual for its purpos!, Some may suppose that one plan will answer best—some that another is preferable —but all are agreed that a remedy of some sort is neces-- sary. After much reflection on the subject, and consultation with other members of the profession, I think the plan which I recommend to your Loed ships is the mast simple and the most ecorr eer e ea t that can at present be applied in practice, and that plan is, to separate the equity jurisdic':nin from the common law jurisdiction of the Exchequer, and to attach the business of the equity' side to the Ex chequer to a new Judge, eo be appointed in the Court of Chancery. I have read and considered the report of the Commissioners lately appointed to consider the coarse of proceedings in the Courts of common lawa report which is admirable for the knowledge, the zeal, the activity of those by whom it has been prepared, and they certainly deserve well of the Government and a the country. Among the recommendations in that report, one is the separation which I have mentioned—a suggestion, however, not originati with them, for the matter has fora long time been talked of in the profession, in which the pre vailing opinion has been, that the Equity and Com mon Law jurisdiction of the Court of Exchequer ought to be separated. That Commission exa mined various witnesses, able and competent to afford information on the subject. But there was . one individual on whose experience, talent; and judgment, I have very great reliance—l te eeem Sir John Richards—and he thinks that the Common . Law side of the Court of Exchequer ought to he separated from the Equity s'ele. From this exami nation it appears that not more than sixty equity cruises are decided in the Exchequer in a year, not more than one.teventh of the business that was done at the Rolls, and that not more than five cases at Cenanon Law were disposed of for hundreds that were dispatched in the Court of King's Bench; and I think it will' he an essential improvement if the recommendation of the Commissioners in this in stance be adopted. It will not be imagined that I mean to cast any imputation on the Judges of the Court of Exchequer. No : the evil is not in ale- de . . ject of great difficulty and delicacy. The Commis, sioners also recommended some measures for alter ing the remuneration of the Masters; but as a con siderable sum of money would be required to carry them into effect, they were postponed. In addi tion to these two heads of inquiry, the recom mendations of the Commissioners had also gone to a great variety of particulars, some of which would probably be improvements, but the greater part of them had been post poned'or reserved. In my opinion, speaking as an individual, it is idle, it is a delusion, to suppose any of these measures can be carried into beneficial ef fect, while the most important point is allowed to remain, and no step is taken to remedy the greatest source of all the evi:s. My Lords, the Commis sioners often considered how they could effect the accelerating of a cause after it was ready for hearing, whic!i is the most material and the most important part of the hearing of causes. I must say, with all deference to the Commissioners, my after giving much attention to the subject, I cannot suppose that no alteration can be made in this important part of the case. Their recommendations cannot be effec tual if they are acted on, and perhaps cannot be car ried into effect at all, unless something be done with this part of the case. The great evil ‘vlif,di is absolute and imperative on us to obviate, is the delay after causes are set dowv, fc,r hearing. My Lords, I must inform your Lordships that eight:-en months very often elapses after a cause is set down for hearing, before it is called on to be heard. This, is au extreme grievance, but your Lordships will form a very incorrect notion of the matter, if you suppose that the evil stops there. If a suit of com mon law, after it had been carried so far forward as to be ripe for hearing, were to be set down, and not then heard for eighteen months, but were then finally disposed of, and the judgment followed im modiutely, that would be a great evil ; but this gives 110 idea of the delay of a Chancery suit, to which I shall now advert. In a Chancery suit at the end of eighteen months, it was probable, or at least not improbable, that an appeal would be made to their I Lordships. Aq 4ppeal was set down after the cause had been heard, and then the cause was re., heard; but that could happen only when anothgr London: Hurst, Chalice, and Co., 65, St. Paul's Church-yard.
