He then entered with much eloquence upon the great political and social benefits that had already resulted from the movement, and said he looked to the Volunteers to maintain order, and to be examples of good conduct in the parish. The three smaller prizes given by the committee were presented by Captain Templer to privates Hoare, Avery, and Walton, the winners ; and he then affixed to Private Bail's sleeve the cross rifles in silver, which he had won as marksman by shoot ing out of the 3d, 2d, and Ist classes, the first time in each respectively. Captain Templer con gratulated the corps on their proficiency with the rifles ; that there were 30 members in the Ist class, and 17 who had shot out of it. He reviewed the steps by which their present success had been insured—that they were now a strong company of 93 effectives, with nearly 40 men as a sub-division at Stanmore, with some 100 honorary members at both places, and he expressed his confidence that in no long time they would be able to form a bat talion. He. concluded with thanking Lieutenant Elliot for his services as umpire in the contest, which was received with hearty cheers by the corps. The band then played some of the national airs, and, after three cheers for the captain, the ceremony concluded. THE LAW COURTS. Inn- Tept Ham By order of the Court. C.

The following is the programme of the procession that Will take place to-morrow : A communication has been sent round by the Earl De grey and Ripon from the War-office to the commanding officers of the various corps with reference to the rifles given out to the Volun teers in their respective regiments. It alludes to two points, the first of which is the rifle to be used by those members nominated to be sent to the Musketry School at Hythe, and in this case the rifle used by the Volunteer on drill and firing with his corps is recommended, as the Volunteer is likely to have become accustomed to the sights, &c. The second part of the letter refers to the fact that it had come to the knowledge of the War-office authorities that Volunteers had altered the locks of their rifles in order to reduce or in crease the amount of the "pull." This practice was considered to have a very dangerous tendency, and in all cases where such alterations had been found to be made the officers in command were to request that such rifle should be returned to the Armoury, and repaired at the cost of the man by whom the lock had been tampered with.

A CAREFUL FIFESHIRE WOMAX..—.On Monday afternoon, as the passengers who had just landed from one of the steamboats on the south side of the Tay ferry were making their way along the pier, a smart shower of rain fell, whereupon an elderly lady belonging to r ife, named Kirk, more careful for her bonnet than cautious about her person, drew her dress over her head, and having thus effectually protested that piece of millinery from the falling rain, forgot that she had also as effectually obscured the line of vision; and striking off at a tangent (in mistake of course) walked into the harbour. the tide being within two hours from high water.

Mason, arrived on 31st October from Beyrout in 20 days, and her Majesty's frigate Mel pomene, 51, Capt. C. J. F. E wart, on the same day from Corfu. The London, 90, Capt. H. Chads, came in on Nov. Ist from Naples in five days. The Mel pomene, it is said, will proceed to rejoin the admi ral at Corfu after the arrival of the next mail from England, and will take up with her the admiral's wife and two daughters, lately arrived here from England. The Caesar and London are also to pro ceed to Corfu to join the admiral, after taking in stores and undergoing some slight repairs. The gun boat Assurance left for Corfu on 31st October, car rying the mail for the fleet, which had arrived the previous evening by the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Euxine from Marseilles. The Victor Emmanuel, 91, Capt. W. J. C. Clifford, C. 8., is expected shortly from Corfu, to take in stores, &c., and afterwards to rejoin the admiral. There is some talk of the Cressy, 80, Capt. the Hon. C. G. J. B. Elliot, C. 8., now at Naples, coming down here, Capt. Elliot having been appointed some time ago to the St. Jean d'Acre, 101, now in this port. The new captain of the Cressy, Capt. Harvey, ar rived here a few days ago from England. The gun boat Boxer has had her boilers put in, and will shortly go outside to tryler engines. After land ing some officers at Tripoli (Barbary), who are to proceed on an antiquarian expedition to Cyrene, she is to be stationed at Marsala for the pro tection of the little British colony there, for which service her small draught of water renders her particularly well adapted. The Supply storeship, recently arrived from England with stores is expected to leave to-morrow on return. Her Majesty's ships now in port are the Hibernia (flag ship of Rear-Admiral Codrington, C. 8.); the St. Jean d'Acre, the Cesar, and the London, line-of battle ships ; the Melpomene frigate, the Boxer gunboat, and the Supply storeship." The screw corvette Orpheus, 21, 400-horse power, fitting at Chatham dockyard for the steam reserve, is expected to be completed by Saturday next, when she will vacate-No. 2 dock, where she is at present being coppered, and proceed to join the second-class steam reserve. The large dock in which the Orpheus is now lying will, on the removal of that vessel, have the necessary alterations commenced to adapt it to receive the large mail-clad iron vessel-of-war ordered to be constructed in it. The paddlewheel steam sloop Spiteful, 6, Com mander Wilson, having completed with coal, left Plymouth Sound yesterday (Wednesday) for the entrance to the Channel to relieve the homeward bound, and to keep a look-out for the Hero, 90, with his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. _ _ _ The War Department screw steamship Lord Pan mure, H. T. Moore, master, having discharged powder and shell, and received returned stores at Devonport, left Plymouth Sound yesterday (Wed nesday), for Woolwich. The following appointments were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Richard Oliver, third class assistant•engineer to the Cumberland, as supernu merary ; Andrew Cornish, third class assistant engineer to the Miranda ; William Childs Archbold and John Bolas, acting third class assistant-engineers to the Indus, as supernumeraries. TEE ARMY. The head-quarters of the Northumberland Ar tillery Militia, commanded by Lieut.-Col. Clement son, were inspected at Kinsale, Ireland, by Major- Gen. Ridley on Monday. They paraded in heavy marching order in the barrack-square. After a few movements had been gone through and a minute inspection made of the barracks, hospital, regi mental books, &c., he proceeded to Charles Fort to witness their gun practice. At the conclusion he addressed them, saying that he felt great pleasure in inspecting them, and it was but natural he should feel a peculiar interest in it, being himself a Northumbrian. When at Spike Island the other day, both Sir George Brown and himself remarked what a fine body of men they were, and he must say he never saw a cleaner and more soldierlike body, and the practice they had made that day was excellent. It reflected great credit on Col. Clementson, the officers and noncommissioned officers and the men themselves showing what pains they had taken to become good soldiers. He was afraid that the time was drawing near when they would be disembodied, and he should be very sorry indeed to lose them out of his district, as he felt that her Majesty would lose the services of an efficient regiment. The times were looking very cloudy, but if the day arrived when their services would be required by their country he did not doubt but that every man would rally to the call. The major left the fort under a salute of guns from the battery. ARMSTRONG CARRIAGES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—ln your leading article on the Armstrong gun on the sth inst. you state that on only one point is an improvement necessary. " The Arm strong carriage is excessively and needlessly heavy. It is heavier than that of the old fieldpiece." I venture to call your attention to the enclosed extracts from the evidence given before the select committee of the House of Commons on military organisation, which appear to me to bear upon the subject.—l am, your obedient servant, A VOLUNTEER. May 22, 1860, Capt. W. H. Gordon, C. 8., again called in, and further examined. 6,093. Chairman—You are the principal military storekeeper at Woolwich ?—Yes. 6,096. How many of the China(Armstrong) guns were there P—Twelve. 6,098. Had they their carriages complete ?—Yes, for foreign service. 6,100. HoW were the Chinese carriages?—The Chinese carriages were of a different pattern from the carriages which have since been introduced into the service, the carriages that went to China being with a bracket trail and the others being with a block trail. 6,101. The Chinese carriages you consider not to have been so complete as those which have been more recently issued P—The recent pattern is cer tainly far superior to the pattern of those that went to China. 6,102. Is that in consequence of any discovery made since the issue to China ? I think not. The Superintendent of the Carriage Department would be better able than I am to answer that question ; but I believe that he always considered that the , block trail carriage was the best. rune 1, 1860, Sir W. Armstrong examined. 7,391. Sir D. L. Evans—Has a complete decision been made now with regard to the form of the new carriages ?—Yes. 7,392. And they aro now in course of comple tion ?—Yes. 7,393. Do the artillery officers still ci;%."tinl2„e to disapprove the formation of those carriages Zre is no disagreement on the subject; in fact, ti ere never has been any disagreement of any moment. The only question was with regard to the carriages that went to China. Colonel Tulloh (the Superin tendent of the Carriage Department) was always an advocate for converting the existing block trail carriages so as to make them available for the new guns. All the experiments with my guns had been carried on with bracket trail carriages. As a matter of opinion, I stated that I thought those guns that went to China ought to be mounted on carriages which had actually been tried and found serviceable; that, although it was possible the block trail car riages might prove superior to the others, it was at that time a matter of experiment, and ought to be reduced to a certainty before it was adopted. After that experiments were carried on with block trails, and the result has been that the block trail carriage has been adopted. 7,394. 'What description of carriages have gone down with the 12 guns that have been sen t to Aldershott P—The present service block trail car rine, as modifiecii The London Scottish had an entertainment of a novel character on Tuesday last, when 70 of the corps volunteered to act as " navvies" in levelling a hill which obscured the targets of the 600 yards range at Wimbledon. The first division worked by daylight with shovels, picks, and barrows regularly told off, and changing by sections to give every man his share of duty. The second division marched down in the dark, and their pipers sounded wildly across the heath. Great fires of whin bushes cast a brilliant glare into the trenches, where the vigorous efforts of the diggers, and the frequent upsets of the wheelborrowa seemed to delight and astonish a number of regular " navvies" who were lookers-on. Now and then a sky-rocket was sent up, a catherine-wheel whizzed round, or a red light shone in the darkness, and squibs and crackers told how near Guy Fawkes' day had been. The scene was most lively and interesting; the rest ing parties smoking and dancing Highland-reels ; the boxing-class tossing the gravel out of the ditch, and the chorus-class blending 'sweet music with the din of spades. The first division was commanded by Ensigns Fisher and Sutherland, Sergeants Brown and Ferguson; the second by Sergeant Smith; Lieutenant Scott directed the engineering operations, and the whole was com manded by Captain Macgregor. The members of the West Company of the Lon don Scottish corps will have a grand day at Wim bledon-common on Friday next, on which occasion three very handsome silver cups will be shot for, at different ranges. On the same day the members of the first-class will, by the kind permission of Gen. Sir R. Dacres, Commandant of the Woolwich gar rison, have some target practice at the butts on Plumstead-common. Yesterday evening, shortly before 9 o'clock, a general muster of the members of the 29th Middle sex Rifle Corps was held in the Riding-school of the Regent's Park Barracks, for the introduction of Lord Enfield as Lieutenant-Colonel of the corps. Drill had previously taken place in the grounds, and there was an unusually large attendance of members in uniform, as well as ladies and gentle men in ordinary attire. Captain Ross, in a brief speech, said that he had great pleasure in intro ducing Lord Enfield as Lieutenant-Colonel of the corps. Lord Enfield said that it was with no com mon amount of pride and satisfaction that three weeks ago he received a letter asking him to be come the head of the corps, to which he readily consented, and he could only say that if the Lord- Lieutenant accepted him he would do all in his power to further the interests of the corps. (Hear.) He was not altogether unacquainted with military life, for he had experienced seven years of the duties of a militia officer. One great thing, he was sure, in the development of a Volunteer regiment was, that every individual member should at all times, through the adjutant, have access to the command ing officer; and as long as he was connected with the corps this should be adhered to. He must im press upon every officer, non-commissioned officer, and private the importance of a regular and steady attendance at drill. In conclusion, he could only say that, in return for the proud position to which they had thought fit to appoint him, his best exertions would be ever at the service of the corps. (Loud cheers.) Mr Edwin James, M.P., reminded the assembly that the last speaker had, at a very short notice, almost immediately after application, consented to act as their leader. (Hear.) It was, indeed, a proud and glorious thing that those in high position came forward not only with money, but personally to defend their Queen and their country. Mr. James then went on to relate his sojourn with Garibaldi, and gave it as his opinion that the present Emperor of the French never dreamt of an invasion, at the same time he thought he was so ambitious that the peo ple of England were justified in forming and main taining Volunteer corps, and that at any threatened invasion the Queen might repose with ease, rely ing on her Volunteers. (Cheers.) Three cheers having been given for Lord Enfield and Mr. Edwin James, M.P., the proceedings terminated. The ceremony of distributing the annual prizes to the 18th Middlesex (Harrow Rifles) took place at the National School-rooms at 8 o'clock on Mon day last. The contest had occupied two days, and had been a very keen one, as there were ties for the first and second prizes, ties for the third and fourth, and ties for the last prize. The ranges were 200, 300, 400, 500, 600, 700, 800, and 900 yards, five shots at each ; and the conditions con fined the competitors to the long Enfield rifle sup plied by the Government to the corps, and to the Hythe positions. There were 38 competitors, and the scores above 20 were as follow :—Thornton 30, Mock, 30, Hoare, 26, Avery 2S, Walton 25, mill 25, G. Smith 24, Captain Templer 23 , and b. Savage,' 21. At. the 3d-class ranges Thornton, Mock, Hos7e, and W. Roberts were first with 12 each ; at the 2 ' t., '-class Thornton was first with 13, and at the long ranb-es Capt. Templer was first with 8, having scored a cent: e at each of 700, 800, and 900 yard ranges. These cores were below the usua l average shooting of ti: e corps ; but the we ather the first day had been vet,' unpropitious —thick and muggy, with continual ra2l, and on this day third and second class ranges were shk.'t• The corps fell in at the Grange, Roxeth, and, under the command of Capt. Templer, marched to the school room, where a large company of friends and visitors was assembled. The first prize, a silver cup, was presented by Mrs. Templer to Private Thornton, who beat Sergeant Mock in shooting off the ties. The corps was formed into three sides of a square, and Mrs. Templer, advancing to the cen tre, addressed them as rempler and gentlemen of the Harrow Rifles,—l have had much pleasure in offering for competition a small token of the gratitude with which, in common, I believe, with every English wife and mother, I re gard the untiring energy and zeal with which, at much personal cost and sacrifice, you have made a ;":9 ovement That this great Volunteer m bie effort to assure the safety and the sanctity of our hou.l es ' un der —the marvel ,e nd g lor y of our time —may, tie means of securing us from God's blessing, be IL_ un iti n g all classe s in a foreign invasion, and 01 - v e arnest hope. holy bond of brotherhood, is on the progress marks the and m the Harrow Rifles have made as . so found cqually will be look with great pride and pleasure I ir Queen and cot::n forward to act in defence of t called upon to men, and feel confident they I have great pleasure in do so.

A Whitworth rifle, value £25, presented by the Duke of Rutland, three rounds at 250, 350, and 500 yards, was won by Private W. Biggs, who scored 13 points; Cap tain Brewin made 12 points and won the second prize, an engraving of " The Allied Generals before Sebastopol." The £lO (silver cup, presented by the members for the borough, was also shot for, the conditions being five rounds at 300 yards, and was won by Private Whitford, Leicester. The chal lenge prize, value 25 guineas, was won by Captain Bankart. The Lord-Lieutenant of Radnorshire county, Sir John Walsh, M.P., reviewed the Rifle Corps, con sisting of three companies—Presteign, Knighton, and New Radnor—at Presteign on Friday last, in the presence of a large body of spectators, among whom were the Lady Jane Walsh, Miss Walsh, the Misses Forbes, Colonel Digby, Major Peel, and Lieutenant Hannam (of the Royal Radnorshire Rifles). The Volunteers acquitted themselves very creditably in the execution of the various move ments, under the command of Captain Mynors, and were highly complimented by the Lord-Lieutenant, who, in the course of his address, expressed his conviction that the movement had not been taken up as a mere holyday pastime, a mere boy's play, or a mere empty pageantry by the men of Radnor shire. Sir John Walsh also alluded to the more healthy tone of our foreign relations, consequent on the Rifle Corps movement, and said his belief was that it had accomplished the great object of preventing invasion. At the same time, in the un settled state of European affairs, it was impossible to say what might happen; and, therefore,• it be hoved every lover of his country to support and strengthen the Volunteer movement. The Volun teers, with the officers of the Militia and other gen tlemen, were afterwards entertained to dinner at the Duke's Arms by the Lord-Lieutenant, and a very pleasant evening was spent. In the report of the Lancashire County Rifle meeting of Tuesday mention is made of a " Mr. James Colquhoun, musketry instructor, of Hythe." We are informed that there is no gentleman of that name connected with the staff of the establishment at Hythe. AMERICAN DIPLOMACY IN CHINA. (From the New York Times.) A special correspondent of the London Times, who ac companies the British in their China expedition, has sent home a long letter enumerating the causes that led to the present war, and upholding the course that the Allies have thought proper to pursue in their dispute with the Celes- tial Emperor. We can hardly ask the Times correspon • dent to indorse the peaceful diplomacy of the United States while he is under obligations to justify the very opposite policy of his own Government. But we have certainly a right to expect that a correspon dent placed in so responsible a situation would at least steer clear of deliberate misrepresentation. He says, in regard to Mr. Ward's visit to Pekin, about a year ago, I that— "After nearly a month's delay a decree arrived authoris ing his admission into the citadel, there to exchange ratifi cations with Kweiliang and Hwashana, who had returned from Shanghai for the purpose. With a very limited suite he left Pehtang in conveyances ill-found and of the lowest class in use. Neither chairs nor horses were allowed him. But the crowing insult was to come. The President's letter to the Emperor was to have been delivered by Mr. Ward in person ; but the commissioners, finding that no amount of persuasion would induce him to prostrate himself when pre. mating it, suddenly wrote to know why, if unprepared to conform to this rite, he had come to Pekin at all. Mr. Ward replying that he had come in consequence of the Emperor's decree received at Pehtang, ordaining that the ratifications of the treaty should be exanged at Pekin, the commission ers rejoined ' If you waive prostration the Emperor waives the presentation of the President's letter.' They reminded him that by his treaty he had no right to require the ex change to be made at Pekin, also that he had said at Shang hai one place would suit him as well as another. This and the verbal explanation of the commissioners drew from Mr. Ward a letter expressing sincere regret' that he had found himself unable to comply with the ceremonies of an audi ence,' and the Emperor then consented to receive the Pre sident's letter from the hands of the commissioners. . . To Pehtang the American Minister was accordingly con veyed, and at that town his treaty was exchanged, not with the Plenipotentiary Kweilang, but with the provincial Hang-fuh. Thus were the conditions of Mr. Read's treaty fulfilled—a treaty which places an American Minister on much the same footing when he visits the capital as an envoy of Loo-Choo." This is all incorrect, and widely different from Mr. Ward's own version of his journey to Pekin. It differs, too, very materially from the accounts published at the time in British journals. Every possible respect was shown the American envoy while in the Chinese capital, and the ar rangements for his visit were made under an Imperial order. It is true that his movements were closely watched, but proper allowances should be made for Chinesre preju dices and exclusiveness, and for the fact that 3 re c. c . ward . had only recently parted from the British and F lt is n q a u r te bassadors, then at open war with the ?tay,r(6 stood on the wrong to ,say that the American Minis ter 00. According to same footing as an envoy from Loo3-1-Cr Ward and the the report of the interview between res . sly and repeatedly Im perial commissioners, the i United r States r e s p e as e stated that the Emperor lcolakrteterdersuiepdxo:nnttashe a friendly nation, an d as told by Kweiliang that their d equzzl to himself.

Mr. Ward, after the Anglo-French force had been re pulsed on the Peiho, took a practical and business-like view of his position. Finding that ho could not pass Taku, he applied to the Government of China to give him access to Pekin, and the request was granted. There is not the slightest ground for supposing that the Chinese meant or mean now to violate their treaty obliga tions. Nor is there any reason why Mr. Ward should be censured for ratifyin g his treaty at Pehtang when he found it impoteible to accomplish that act at Pekin. Like a sen dible man he was deteilnined to deal with the Chinese as he found theni, and did not attempt to thrust his own notions of propriety down thei v throats. In a despatch to the Earl of Malmesbury, then St %cretary of State for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Bruce, the English "Envoy, distinctly admitted that no other course was open to Mr. Ward than the one he adopted, and that there was every probability of his being received in a friendly manner at Pekin. American diplomacy, up to this time, has of raucb• more in China than the arms of France an d England cow.- We believe that it is the intention of her Ma ' jesty's :Government, immediately after the meeting of Parliament, to introduce a measure for the pur pose of giving effect to the recommendations of the Commissioners who, a short time ago, were ap pointed " to inquire into the expediency of bring ing together i n t o one pl ace or neighbourhood all the supr eme courts c f l aw an d equ i ty , th e 'Probate and Divorce Courts, and the Court of Admiralty, and the various offices belonging to the same, And into the means which exist and may be supplik'd for providing a site or sites for carrying out thitt object." The Commissioners were Sir J. T. Cole-- ridge, Sir W. P. Wood, Sir George Cornewall Lewis. Lord Wynford, Dr. Phillimore, and Mr. John Young ; the last being of considerable expe rience and standing in the profession as a solicitor. After a careful and laborious inquiry these gentle men came to the conclusion that the interests of the profession, as well as that of the public, would be subserved by giving to the administration ofjus tice in the superior courts a local and permanent habitation. Every student of constitutional history knows perfectly well that provision of Magna Charta which declares that justice shall be admi nistered in " certain fixed places." The practice of English law in modern times has, however, evinced a most unaccountable departure from the wise deter mination of our ancestors. We take the metropolis as a case in point. There is little difficulty as to the certainty that a particular Court will sit in a particular place on a given day; but the different tribunals are distributed over an enormous area, which places one at the west-end and the other at the east-end of London, and, as a necessary conse quence, interferes most serious y with the conve nient administration of justice and the ordinary conduct of legal business. Mr. Gregor)", a most intelligent and experienced solicitor, in his evi dence before the Commission, has pointed vut the inconvenience and costliness of the present sy:stem• Starting from the City, you have in Basingkall street a tribunal which dispenses one species ,of insolvency law with respect to traders, and in. Portugal-street you have another tribunal which deals with insolvent non-traders and bankrupt traders whose debts do not exceed £3OO. Trave ling westward you come to the Probate, Divorce, and Admiralty registries, at Doctors' Commons, which are connected with courts which sit at West minster, in rooms lent by the Lord Chancellor and the Master of the Rolls. Lincoln's-inn, we all know, is the home and centre of Chancery admi nistration, and that the common law courts 2n term time sit in Westminster, and out of term in the , city. But this is only a small part of the evil. The (aces attached to these several tribunals are distributed in the most absurd and arbitrary way all over the metropolis—at Lincoln's-inn, the Rolls-yard, th. Temple, Staple's-inn, Lincoln's-inn-fields, Ser geants'-inn, and Lancaster-place. The Commis sioners state—" The superior courts of common law and equity are very commonly sitting in 11 places, and often in more, at the same hour , and single judges are frequently required to be sitting' at two places at different hours in the same da y .' A common law judge, for instance, although sitting at Westminster, has to attend at chambers in Ser geants'-inn at the bottom of Chancery-lane. The inconvenience of such a system to the judges, to the bar, and to the solicitors and attorneys, cannot be exaggerated ; but we will not rest the case upon merely professional grounds. The public, who con stitute the body of suitors, have to pay for these changes not only in the shape of innecessary rent, and increased costs, and augmented delays, but the general administration of the law is injured by that unwholesome separation of business, which cannot be excused, even on the ground of the division of labour. On this point a great authority, the Attor ney-General, states—" I regard the concentration of the courts as likely to lead to great public ad vantage by making the different courts of law and equity familiar with the procedure of each other. Cases constantly occur in which a judge sitting in a court of law is desirous of having an opportunity of consulting a judge sitting . in a court of equity, and vice versa.' If this in tercommunication could take place parties would. often be spared the expense of issues at law to ascertain matters of fact, and the common law judges would have no excuse for refusing to enter tain, as they have hitherto done, equitable defences. But whilst everybody, on professional and public grounds, has been in favour of the concentration of the courts, two difficulties have presented them selves. How was the site and how were the neces sary funds to be obtained ? The late Sir Charles Barry many years ago proposed that a Palace of Justice should be erected in Lincoln's-inn-fields ; but this idea was speedily given up because it was thought that in a sanitary point of view it would. be extremely inexpedient to build over an area which is one of the most important lungs of the metropolis. The Commissioners, whose decision has by personal inspection been confirmed by Lord Palmerston, are in favour of a more eligible site. They propose—disregarding the historical memo ries of Westminster, where, in fact, no available land is to be obtained—to devote to the concentra tion of the law courts a block of buildings which comprises " close and ill-built streets, badly venti lated, and drained, and which, in respect of p art at I least, is very discreditably inhabited." The pro posed site will be bounded by Carey-street on the north and the Strand on the South, Bell-yard on the east and Clement's-inn on the west. The sum. required for the purchase of land is estimated at £675,000, and the same, it is stated, will be required for the erection of the Palace of Justice —making , in the whole, £1,350,000. The Commissioners, with the exception of Sir W. P. Wood, have recom mended that this expense should be defrayed by the suitors' fund in Chancery—a fund which now possesses a capital of £1,291,629. We believe that t this charge may be incurred without the slightetsa risk to the Chancery suitors, who already p .b oss,c he another fund which is more than sufficient the ordinary ent ordinary expenses of the Court. The has acted wisely in having determinedGthclvue I and to carry out this great measure of f i l l e ;nearly cipal improvement—one which wi g n a ot only tend to improve the administrat ion of the law, but can any appre happily be effected without entailing ciable charge either upon the anmcgery suitors or We may add the general public of this country. that the site now about to be adopted was originally s uggested by Mr. Commissioner whose advo cacy of every measure of practical and useful reform is beyond all praise.—Norning Pest. 82'ATE OF TRADE.
