I:—The Sappho, 16, Commander Gambier, was paid off yesterday. The Cyclops steam-frigate, CaptainLspidge, left Spit head this morning at half-past eight for Portugal, taking out Colonel Wylde (Equerry to Prince Albert) and his two sons, upon an important mission ; also supernume raries for the squadron in the Mediterranean, and dis patches for Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, Bart., the Commander-in-Chief. The Cyclops lay with her steam up, and ready to start at a moment's notice, the whole of yesterday. The Mariner transport, Lieutenant W. Still, agent, arrived thismorning from Deptford, bound to Bermuda, with convicts. • • The Mercury tender; Second IN/faster Searlett, sailed yesterday for Plymouth, with the Marines of the Sappho, belonging to that division. - The Mapceuvrer . lighter arrived , this morning from the eastern yards, with stores. The Crocodilatroop*shiri et Co mman d er Lowe, has been surveyed and fopnd unfit f or serv i ce as a t r o o p - s hip, b u t it is considered that Ate would yet makes good trans port for:-other purposes.... If she is paid off, -we hope her gallant commander, who has only bad-her for a few months, will either be promoted, or have the command of another and a better ship. The Talbot, 26, Captain Sir T. Thompson, Bart., is hourly expected from the Pacific, with freight. - WOOLWICH, OCT. 3p.--,The Geyser steam-vessel was commissioned at Woolwich to•day, by Commander -Francis T Brown (1840). The Amphion, 36-gun frigate, with screw-propeller, has hoisted- the pendant of Captain Williams, of the Avenger; and the officers and crew of the latter vessel will be transferred to the Amphion. The Kite steam-vessel was towed to Deptford yester day by the Chgron steam-vessel, to be-,nietktted for the surveying service. The Dwarf steam-vessel - was' taken into dock This afterwon, to have some alterations made, lite speed of her recent trials being only between three and four knots per hour on the first, and about five knots on the senonci trip, with screw propellers. The Philadelphia North American notices a valuable nautical invention, which is attracting much attention. It is an invention of It. C. Holmes, agent for the under writer of Captain May, and is pronounced by the first seamen the greatest improvement ever accomplished in the machinery of steering vessels. The greatest diffi culties under which the steering-gear of ships labour are completely obviated by it. The making slack of the vibration of the tiller and the change in the tiller-rope are prevented. By the fixed position of the machinery, the ropes always lead fair through the blocks and wind regularly, avoiding all chafing of one part against the face of the other. All danger of accident to the steers man, too, in strong currents, from the slacking of the rope is rendered impossible. So taut and yet so simple is the machinery, that instead of the constant watching of the wheel heretofore required, and the freqnently harassing labour of the helmsman, a child almost could manage it in the heaviest sea; and in a gale of wind a vessel would almost lay to itself. The principle is two barrels, or drums, instead of one; as fast as the rope accumulates upon the upper one, it is carried off by the lower. The invention is a new feature in mechanics, nothing like it having been discovered in the books at the Patent-office. THE GREAT BRITAIN. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TI3IES. Sir,—Your admirable and most just remarks on the cause which led to the wreck of the Great Britain are so convincing, so unanswerable, that not another word is required to explain the case; but there is one part of Captain Hosken's letter which I cannot understand. He has stated that he took the light on St. John's Point for one of the lights on the Calf of Man, and that he stood on the N.W. by N. course from eight o'clock to about half-past nine, when the ship was discovered to be in shallow water, with the view of getting on " the right bearing for rounding the Hen and Chicken Rocks, lying off the Calf of Man." He then continues—" I then hauled the ship up to north gradually, and to N. E. ultimately, when I was surprised to find, on in quiring the time, that it was a quarter past nine. I ran down for a moment to look at my chart and back to the helm, when , ' heard a loud hail from the forecastle, and at the same moment I saw what appeared and proved to be shoal water alongside; I instantly sung out, Hard a port; stop her.' This was done." Now, Sir, it appears to me, that as the danger which had been apprehended by Captain Hosken was the Hen and Chicken Rock, and that when he altered the course to north and N. E. to round them he considered these dangers were on his starboard bow, he would, I should have supposed, order the helm to be put hard a-star board, instead of hard a-port, when the shoal water was first diseovered, in order to put the ship's head from those supposed rocks; and, had he done this, although 'he shoal water proved to be on the coast of Ireland, 'et, had_lbe_ helm_bef •k .n puth e, ard rAhg iitv.if d notth th ein e stant i__cer- shore. Here it might be asked, what marks he took for al tering the course from N.W. by N. to N.? Did he see a second light, or how did the St. John's light (as it proved to be) bear when he hauled up to N,? It could not, I imagine, have borne E.N.E. by compass, which the Calf light should have borne before he altered his course to have rounded the Hen and Chicken Rocks, which lie off the Calf of Man. • Captain Hosken observes, that at a quarter past 9 he ran down to look at his chart. The question has naturally beeti asked, bow often did he consult his chart during the passage over? and did he calculate the distance run upon it at any period before 9 o'clock? If he had done 'this, he must have known that the light seen at eight o'clock bearing N.N.W. could not by any possibility have been the light on the Calf of Man ; and why he did not refer to his chart and the log-board half a dozen times at least during the preceding eight hours, he alone can explain, more especially as the wea ther became so thick and hazy after five o'clock. Although this magnificent ship lies imbedded in the sand, it surely cannot be intended to abandon her with out some further trials to get her off. My sincere belief is that she can be got off without much difficulty. Why have not the largest sized empty casks been al ready a t tried p attempts beerassist floating place h e r ? Why have n ot some " w bdttom in different parts ? Si x -i nc hoak a3s p lank "'und m might, e g r h t think, be got under her bottom in different parts by dikging away the sand at low water. whereby she would be the more easily moved by purchases. Certain it is, ' that so splendid a ship ought not to be suffered to be abandoned without every effort being first used to get her again afloat ; and I yet hope to see her once more crossing the Atlantic, proudly showing what England's skill has produced.—l am, Sir, yours, 8 40 .• Oct. 28. - TRIDENT. The plan proposed by Mr. Mackintosh for floating the Great Britain steam ship, is, it is said, to be tried. It has been thus explained :--There is to be a ridge of stones in a half circle, placed at a short distance from the stern of the vessel, and some hollow iron shells in a like circle, charged with gunpowder, besides a few smaller charges placed along the course to which the ship is expected to be driven. Upon the semi-circular train being firod by means of the usual galvanic appli ances, the water at the stern of the ship will be lifted with such force as to loosen the sandy bed, and imme diately set her afloat, the continuance of the wave being accomplished by the firing of the smaller charges, while the tug steamers are towing in advance. It is calculated that the water will be agitated to a given extent, not more than equal to the force already withstood by the casks deposited buoyancy.ed in The the gad point Great Britain when at s ea , a nd that a certain number of ks ensure a such sto prevent precise any untoward nt engine-room ra m will u s t y give her r r i I sta to et - e etarrangementoard i n o jy f u r th e to and at the same time to acc om pli s h a s i mu l tan eous action explosive materials of the tug steamers, should the auspicious event come off, and the noble ship be once more afloat. We have seldom known any nautical occurrence excite more in terest here than this does, and certainly none since the trial of Warner's Long Range. It is hoped that the Great Britain will not become strained or damaged in any way not easily reparable. u LD ag oi e srti t rn o ige ;he serge an t an d cor t On Saturday mornin g the secondbatta battalion of Coldstream Gua rds were assembled inocfosuqrut No. i company,armeaarttiaPtofrot- man-street b a rracks, to hear the finding of a Court w A m i ha a ko r hn i a ag l d read usbee eo n o f na abusive private ya n J ag . floral on duty, when he was confined in the guard•room for being absent a short period, and brought to barracks by patrols. lie was found guilty, and sentenced to un dergo six months' imprisonment and hard labour. The papers have told so many contradictory stories as to the period of the Queen's visit to the Duke of Nor folk, at Arundel Castle, that we deem it right to state that no such visit will take place until after the cele bration of the birthday of the Prince of Wales, which will be kept at Windsor on the 9th inst.—Observer. Accounts have been received from Malta of the death of R. J. Eaton, Esq., M.P., of Stetchworth Park, Cambridgeshire. A vacancy has thus been occasioned in the representation for the county. We hear that Mr. Adeane, Mr. Townley, Mr. Childers, Lord George Manners, Lord Cantalupe, and Lord Cosmo Russell have been named as likely to solicit the suffrages of the electors. The names of Sir Culling Smith and Captain Peyton, son of Sir A. Peyton, have also been mentioned. —From a Corresp ondent.

SIMPSON invites the attention of Capitalists to the statements contained in the following Advertisements, ielating to the past, present. and prospective per- manency of Rentals and the value oil:and, cOnflrming; as they do, the predictions which he ventured to make last April, in a speech at Norwich, in which he observed, that " although he had been a thorough-going Protectionist, he was proud to say, that sliding and all other scales had fallen from his eyes ;—that it was his- firm and honest conviction, that Rents which had been set on fair and liberal principles within the last seven years would be permanent ; that the year's purchase on such Rentals had risen within the last six months, and in all probability would continue to rise ; and that in adopting free trade measures, Sir Robert l'eel had proved himself to be one of the most talented, far-sighted, and fearlessly honest Ministers that bid ever lived in the tide of time." The present circumstances of the country, from a general scarcity of food throughout Europe, fully jitstify the opinion here expressed of the eminent talents and courage displayed by Sir Robert Peel. It is stated by the most com 7 petent judges that if his wise measures of free trade had not been carried out, the prices of Corn and produce would have risen to a famire height. Mr. Simpsen has also been assured by the most re spectable salesmen in Smithfield Market, that if it had not been tor the alteration of the'Tariff, the price of Meat would long since have risen to one shilling per pound, and even now the general impression is, that befoie next harsiest the prices of provisions will reach a height beyond what would be conducive to the general prosperity of the country. - Mr. - Simpson, in conclusion, cannot refrain from al luding to the opinion of that eminent man, the late Sir Charles We therell, on the subject. A high Tory and firm Protectionist, the fears he eniertained - as lo the probable results of the' Repeal of the Corn Laws ipduced him to ,determine on selling his landed pr'operty, but his better judgment prevailed, and be not only retained pos session of it, but was in the course of making further investments when he met his" lamentable fate.

Temple, October 30, 1846.. NORTHAMPTONSHIRE Within TWO MILES of the W'ELLINGROROTIII STATION, ex ceedingly VAITIBLE.EsTATE, consisting, of 40 ACRKS oT very excellent ARABLE,. MEADOW, DAIRY, atid GRAZING LAND, lying within a RING FENCE. MR. W. W. SIMPSON has received instructions from the Trustees of the late John Christie, Esq., to - SE by AUCTION, at the Mart, London, on TUESDAY, November 111, at Twelve o'clock, An exceedingly valuable FREEHOLD and COPYHOLD ESTATE, eligibly situate in the parishes of Irchester and Wymington, within three miles of the capital market town of Wellingborough, and two miles only from the railway station, which is within about half an hour's transit by railway to the Important town of Northampton. It comprises a farmhouse and suitable agricultural buildings, toge ther with 304 acres of land, including 237 acres of arable, generally of easy tillage and deep staple, much the larger surface of which, under proper cultivation, adapts itself to the turnip and barley course of husbandry ; and the entire arable suri'ace of the estate is grateful, and in fair average seasons yields abundantly in corn, leguminous, and green crops in all their varieties. The meadow end pasture lands are to a considerable extent of good feeding and dairy quality ; still they are, however, susceptible of Improvements relating to draining, &c., which, If carried out, would increase their present pro ductiveness; the same observation will apply to certain portions of the arable surface of the estate. As It would not be prudent for tenants of uneertain tenure to incur this expenditure, the following clause is inserted in the agreeinents:—" In addition to the rent, the tenants are to pay six per cent. on the outlay of the landlord for drainage,which rainage the landlord is to do according to a specifica tion to be agreed upon between the tenants and Mr. W. W. Gardner, the agent to the vendors." The above farm is in the occupation of Mr. James Mather, yearly tenant, who renewed his agreement at Michaelmas, 1845, at a rent of 5821. 10s. per annum. Mr. Mather and bis family have been located on the estate for nearly a century. Mr. Slather is not only wealthy, but of excellent character ; a first class cultivator and manager generally ; he stocks highly, and, at the present period has a flock of 600 sheep, between the Leicester and Down, superior in regard to frame and quality of wool. Also a desirable Farm adjoining, with farm-house and agricultural build ings, and about 138 Acres of deep surfaced and exceedingly produc tive arable land, including a small field of pasture, in the occupation of Miss Elizabeth Frost, a highly respectable yearly tenant, from Michaelmas, 1445, at a rent of 2201. per annum. The family of Miss Frost have been tenants on this estate upwards of 40 years. The arable surface partakes very much of the same description and qua lity as Mr. Mather's occupation, with the exception that there is not quite so large a proportion kindly to the turnip course; still there are very few fields on the entire estate where turnips are not grown and folded off. Also about 24 acres of excellent arable land, called Avenue Close, in the occupation of the Rev. Charles Partridge, vicar, tenant from year to year, at a rent of 471. 103. per annum, for the purpose of being let to labourers as allotments. The copyhold por tion of the above property is in the parish of Irchester, and pays an annual quit-rent of 31. 16s. 3d., and a fine of the like amount on alienation or death, to the lord of the manor of Irchester : it is, therefore. equal in value to freehold. The apportioned tithe rent-charge on the whole estate amounts to 61 14s. 3d. only, and which Is paid by the tenants, therefore it may be considered virtually tithe rent-charge free. In respect to the permanency of the rentals Mr. Simpson refers to that best test, namely the character of the tenants, who have so re- . cently taken their occupation at the present rents, added to the de sire expressed by thsin to be continued on their farms in the event of the estate being so'd. Mr. Simpson having matte a most minute survey, field by field, and careful estimate of the property, fearlessly asserts it is one of the most desirable estates for occupation and the seenre investment of capital he has feet in the course of his ex tensive experience. The property may be viewed, and particulars (with plans annexed) may now be obtained of Mr. 'William Henry Cotterill, solicitor, 32, Throgmorton-street, City ; of George Burnham, Esq , solicitor, Wellingborough ; of Mr. W. W. Gardner, Iliggleswade; and of Mr. W. W. Simpson, 18, Bucklersbury, London. HUNTINGDONSHIRE, Desirable TITHE-FREE ESTATE, containing together 224 ACRES, producing a RENTAL of 4091. per annum. MR.

COMMENCEMENT OF MICHAELMAS TERM._Yester day, Westminster-hall, and the avenues which lead to it, by mid-day evinced unmistakeable signs that the inter regnum of the long vacation had passed away, and that the ancient hall of the various courts that abut from it was about to wear again its wonted as pect. Cabs, containing gentlemen "learned in the law," followed each other in rapid succession to the rendezvous of law, and clerks and cads loaded with legal paraphernalia trotted also in shoals in the same direction. Bustle and animation appeared everywhere. The very officials of the courts, and the various ticket porters and hangers-on seemed to have brushed off the rust of the past and looked fresher than ever, but the counsel, especially those who have something to do, expressed their joy in smiles and jokes. Even the writ-servers, almost frozen out by the long vacation, looked happy—regretfully on, the past, but trustingly on th e f u t ure . Th e en t ranc e to the hall, and the hall itself, were lined by respectably dressed ladies and gentlemen, anxious to obtain a sight of the judges as they passed on to their respective courts. They arrived at the Hall at half-past one o'clock, the Lord Chief Justice and the Equity Judges going into the Lord Chancellor's Court, and the Common Law Judges making their way, headed by Lord Denman, into the Court of Common Pleas. They shortly afterwards separated to their respective courts. They were attired in their full robes, and all looked remarkably well. All the courts presented an array of counsel, the senior counsel being in full dress, - and respectably dressed persons, many of whom were ladies. PUBLICATIONS.

TO THE LADIES. This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me. " Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor. tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstone, of the Herbary, High gate, for the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair is much stronger and mere luxuriant than it ever was before the baldness appeared. " Mrs. Weeklcy inserts this testimony to the virtues of Mr. G.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase an 11 s. bottle if they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in tke restoration and production of hair in abund ance, but as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume it is far beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any lady of respectability to the above facts.-3, Swan-street, Borough." In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, a few drops oa the crown of the head occasionally, every week, will pre vent the hair from coming away with the comb, make it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your.hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops on the crown of the head ; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on children's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' treads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See pamphlet of testimonials. All letters addressed to William Gemstone, Herbary, Highgate. --- NO VEMBER 3 ) 1848. 1 0 1 NE MR. STEWART AND THE LAW OF REAL PROPERTY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE TIMES. Sir,—A regard for the credit of the profession o which I am a member, has induced me to trouble you with a few remarks on a letter published in your journal a few day ago, on the subject of the law of real pro perty, and addressed by Mr. Stewart, the conveyancer, to members of agricultural societies, and others inter ested in land. There can be but one opinion entertained of this pro duction by any person conversant at all with the subject on which it treats ; and, accordingly, I should have spared myself the trouble of making any observations on the matter, had not your own comments on this letter given it a publicity and importance which I trust further consideration will induce you to think unmerited. You preface your remarks by a statement, that Mr. Stewart's well-known character and reputation as a lawyer might afford some guarantee that his senti ments had been well digested and considered. Now, it is by no means an enviable task for one profes iional man to have to criticise the character and re putation of another ; but I think I am fairly justi fied in doubting whether Mr. Stewart's character and reputation, amongst the profession, are calculated to enhance his qualifications, either as a censor or reformer of the laws of real property. So far as I sin at present informed, the public acts with which Mr. Stewart's name is directly associated, are that of the 4th Victoria, c. 21, a somewhat clumsy provision for dispensing with a lease for a year, which the more sensible measure of last session, by Mr. Kerr, has superseded ; and the Act for the Enfranchisement of Copyholds, notoriously one of the most remarkable instances of legislative impotency and bad drafting on record.* Mr. Stewart is also the author of a kind of hash of " Blackstone's Commentaries," strongly recommended by some persons for the use of „students, and has also contributed, jointly with M r . Paikerre tiosan edition of " Bythewood's Practice of Conveyancing. A comparison of the .difference be tween the price and circulation of this edition atua the more able one by Mr. Jarman, will show the estimation in which the respective editors are held by the profession. What part Mr. Stewart may have taken in some of the disreputable measures of the last sew sessions I know not; but from certain expressions in his letter, I collect that the most mischievous of these measures has, at all events, received his sanction and approbation. But to the letter in question, for upon this must Mr. Stewart's character and reputation for the present rest. After commencing his address to members of agricul tural societies and others interested in land, by informing them that " if they are wise they will know nothing" of the subject which he proposes to discuss, Mr. Stewart proceeds to a comparison of the value of land in England as compared with that on the Continent, from which he arrives at this conclusion :—That, inasmuch as the value of land in France, Belgium, and Prussia exceeds that of land in England, such difference is not unreasonably to be attributed, in part at least, to the difference in the law regulating the transfer. Now, the utmost extent to which the expense of transfer could, in ordinary prin ciples of reasoning, influence the difference in value, would be the excess of the expense of transfer in Eng land over that on the continent ; but Mr. Stewart has himself satisfactorily shown, that owing to the increased stamp duty payable on the continent, the difference of such expense can be but trifling, and wholly inadequate to account for any substantial disparity it, value, sup posing such disparity to exist. If Mr. Stewart be desi rous of pushing his researches into this matter further, he will probably discover that the difference in question is attributable principally, if not wholly, to the superior advantages which England possesses for the application of capital in commerce and speculation. It would not be sufficient, however, for Mr. Stewart's argument to establish that the additional expense of transfer occa sioned a difference in land ; but he must maintain this further proposition, that such incretved expense of trans fer constitutes a serious impediment to the free aliena tion of land in this country. Now, after the pains he took to institute a comparison between the disposition of land in England and on the continent, it might have been expected that he would have been prepared with some evidence of alienation being more frequent on the continent than in England, in order to have made good his position that the excess of the expense of transfer in England was the cause of the limited alienation in that country as compared with the continent ; but he has ad duced no such evidence, and therefore it is a fair in ference, in the absence of some proof to the contrary, that, with respect to such portion of the real property of this country as is not rendered inalienable by set tlement, alienation is as frequent as on the con tinent. To attribute any practical influence to the in. significant amount of difference in the expense of trans fer would be absurd. Will Mr. Stewart venture to as sert, that a party was ever deterred from purchasing an estate he had set his mind upon by any consideration of the expense,pf conveyance ? It mght be possible, in deed, to find one of that class of persons whom your commissioner styles " hard-fisted," who might growl at apprehe nu, - Ve titriskuularaTishi'a attromitetratfifuTt7:4l";l'elli an intended purchase, or even to form an estimate in their computation of value. The true cause of the frequency of alienation in this country, it is submitted, are-Ist, The practice of locking up estates in settlement, which applies to most of the large estates in the kingdom; and, 2dly, The strong disinclination which exists on the part of landowners in general to part with an acre of their inheritance. It, is a well-known fact, that a man will encumber his estate to the last farthing of its value, and actually starve upon it before he will permit a particle of it to go into the market. It must be admitted, then, that there is no foundation whatever for the position as sumed by Mr. Stewart, that the costs of conveyance practically either retard or prohibit the free sale and dis position of land in this country. It still remains, how ever, to consider, first, how far the grievances of which Mr. Stewart complains really have any existence ; and, secondly, how far the remedies suggested by him are calculated to be of service in removing them. The re medies suggested are five, namely :- 1. Simplicity and uniformity of tenure. 2. Easy, cheap, and expeditious modes of transfer. 3. Shorter and more simple deeds. 4. A greater certainty as to time in completing the sale and mortgage of land ; and, 5. Some mode of shortening inquiry as to title. Now, as regards simplicity of tenure, it is scarcely necessary to remark, that with the exception of cepy holds and customary freeholds, and, perhaps, some few cases of grand sergeantry, the tenure of lands, in this country, is as simple as it can possibly be made. If Mr. Stewart imagines that he can add anything to the sim plicity of free and common socage tenure, he ought in fairness to have given some intimation of it. In the ab sence of some enlightenment on the subject, it is utterly impossible to divine what he can mean. But Mr. Stewart's powers of imagination seem, in many in stances, to have got the superiority over his reason. He tells us, in a former part of his letter, " that the spectre of feudality still haunts the land, clanking its chains, and rising at the most unforeseen moment to scare the lawful owner from doing what he will with his own." Now, rhapsodical nonsense such as this is scarcely the language a man of " character and reputation" would indulge in on a serious matter-of-fact subject. The truth of the matter, however, is, that there are no feudal remains which in the slightest degree interfere with the full and free dominion over freehold estates in this country. The spectre in question is therefore only a " bodiless creation" of Mr. Stewart's own, conjured up to answer the part of a scarecrow for the occasion. As to the uniformity of tenure, by the conversion of copyhold and customary estates into free and common socage, it is well known that this has long been a desi deratum, and would dobtless ere this have been accom plished by efficient measures, prepared under the su perintendence of experienced and competent persons, had not Mr. Stewart himself foisted on the public an enactment for the purpose which has been wholly un productive of any .practical good. This may enable us to account for Mr. Stewart's recommendation, that the preparation of the necessary measures of reform should be entrusted to able and competent persons to be ap pointed by the Government. The second and third remedies suggested by Mr. Stewart, are easy, cheap and expeditous modes of trans fer, and short and more simple deeds. So far as these terms comprehend the ordinary assurances for transfer ring property, every one is well aware that, owing to the exertions of the profession, without taking into conside ration the questionable measures of last session but one, these assurances have obtained a degree of conciseness which excludes the possibility or advantage of any further reduction. When a conveyance of land, ex clusive of the parcels, can be prepared in a form as short as that of a transfer of stock, so that the Legislature has thought it needful to provide remuneration for the party preparing it, additional to what the length of the transfer would have entitled them, it becomes impossible to see what just ground of complaint can exist on this head. It is true that in many cases the conveyances of real property extend to a great length ; but this, it is well known, is owing not to the operation of the instru ment of transfer, but to the complication of interests in volved in the transaction. As long as the present prac tice prevails, of subjecting property to limitations in strict settlement, with all the powers and charges inci dent to this species of disposition, so long must the ultimate discharge of the property from these interests necessarily be complicated, and the assurance by which it is effected proportionably lengthy. But it is ouvious that the Legislature can afford no remedy for such a state of things, unless by imposing a restraint on the powers of disposition, which Mr. Stewart's friends, the agricul turists, would probably be the first to reject. If landed proprietors would be satisfied with a simple owner ship in fee, the transfer of land might be a fleeted as simply, and perhaps more convenienay, than a transfer of stock ; but ii they are determined to adopt a more preservative policy, they must submit to entail on them selves and their posterity the necessary consequences of such a course. It will be apparent, from what has been said, that as the inordins.te length to which conveyances of real estate are sometimes extended, is occasioned not by the specific effect of the form of transfer, but by the number and intricacy of the intere sts involved, the same E Report assigns the authorship of this Act to Mr. Stewart, but if he is not reTousible for it I shall have plea sure in withdrawing my observations upon it so far as they may affest him personally. PIIICE SD. umo...... .. ,, mniuMaktarammemosawara.mado result may be applicable to dealings with personal estates. We find, therefore, that in dispositions of personal estate, where varied or partial interests are created or dealt with, there is precisely the same necossity for lengthy and intricate assurances as in cases of real estate. On this subject Mr. Stewart has displayed most lamentable ignorance. his language is as follows : " Intricate and difficult questions will no doubt arise in civilised states ; but the familiar transactions, the sale and the mortgage, should be easily understood and easily performed. We know they are so in personalty, in produce' in stock in the funds." Now, any professional person will bear me out in the assertion (which is abun dantly evidenced by a reference to Mr. Stewart's own published volume of precedents) that mortgages of per sonal property cannot be effected with greater facility or in less compass than mortgages of real estate; on the contrary, the assurances requisite for the purpose (making allowance for the different characters of the property) are in both cases precisely the same, with this exception—that in mortgages of personal estate greater care and skill are requisite to guard against an execution creditor and the effects of bankruptcy end insolvency, so far as these effects are capable of being provided against. As to settlements of personal property, they are frequently as lengthy as corresponding settlements of real estates, as any counsel, solicitor, or law stationer, or if needs be, Mr. Stewart's own book of precedents will testify. So much, therefore, for the doctrine of assimilation contended for by Mr. Stewart. As to the expeditiousness (if I may be allowed the term), which Mr. Stewart suggests as requisite to the assurances of real property, it may be sufficient to remark that the operation of such assurances is at present instantaneous ; so far as respects greater expedition in the preparation and execution of them, this, it is obvious, must be a matter wholly out of the range of legislative provision. With respect to the fourth of Mr. Stewart's sugges tions, namely, "A greater certainty, as to time in com pleting the sale and mortgage of land," it may be sufficient to apprise the agriculturists, and others interested in le.o that they are already in alosition to effect this object for th emse l ves, without theitid of the Legislature, by simply making time of the essence of the contract. The following extract from the first volume of "By thewood's Conveyanci ng ," by Parken and Stewart, p. 79, will probably b e deemed a sufficient au thority for this statement :—"A provision may be inserted in agreements making time of the essence of the contract, in case the purchase money be not paid at the time appointed ; but, of course, clauses making agree ments void, if a title be not made, or the purchase mdbey paid by a certain time, should never be inserted unless it be the express intention of the parties ;" and the follow ing note by the editor( !):—" It was at one time doubted whether time could be made of the essence of the con tract, but it has lately been decided that it may." The sth and last of Mr. Stewart's suggestions, namely " that some mode should be adopted for shortening in qwiry as to title," involves most serious considerations ; inasmuch as the only apparent mode by which this ob ject can be obtained, is that of shortening the duration of human life, in relation to which the rule as to length of title had its origin. It is submitted, that as long as the days of man are three score years and ten, and life es , bites are permitted, so long will a deduction of a sixty years' title be essential to a purchaser's protection ; for otherwise, if we suppose a case of not unusual occur rence (namely), that of a tenant for life assuming the absolute ownership, and making a conveyance in fee, under which possession is enjoyed for the period which Mr. Stewart would establish as the maximum of title which a purchaser could require, we should have this anomalous state of things—either the purchaser must be protected, and the parties entitled in remainder defeated by the illegal Act of the tenant for life, against 14 hick' they could not have guarded ; or else such persons in re mainder must be allowed to recover the estate as against the purchaser, whom a court of equity may have com pelled to accept the title ; which would be equally unjust. have now carefully gone through the five remedies proposed by Mr. Stewart, and have, I trust, satisfacto rily shown, that out of these five remedies four are either useless or impracticable ; and that the fifth, namely, the conversion of copyhold and customary estates into free hold, may be deemed to have been delayed or frustrated, principally through the introduction, by Mr. Stewart himself, of a clumsy and inefficient measure for the purpose. Before concluding it may be proper to remark, that there is one point in which Mr. Stewart and I cordially agree, namely, that the future revision of the law should be entrusted to competent and unprejudiced persons, ap pointed by the Government. Owing to some of the profligate measures of the last few sessions, the law of real property is at present in a highly unsatisfactory state. It is, in fact, utterly impos sible at present to compl e t e a purchase of real estate with a certainty that the purchaser may not be evicted by claims against which no skill or foresight of his profes sional adviser can protect him. What folly, then, to be nigling about a few shillings in the cost of trans fer, when the safety of the whole inhpritnnep is to _ nrntect us from That there are men of character and experience in the profession competent to act in the emergency we know — men of undoubted ability, whose past exertions in sim plifying and improving the law have never been con trolled by partiality or prejudice for institutions which they were the means of abolishing, and whose position places them out of the reach of selfish or interested motives. It is to such men as these, then, that the task of revision should be committed; and I feel assured that the landed proprietors will much better consult their true interests by bringing about this result than by giv ing further countenance or encouragement to the sense less extravagancies recommended fur their consideration by Mr. Stewart. I am, Sir, your most obedient servant, A CONVEYANCER. Lincoln's Inn, Oct. 29. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS.

LEEDS, OCTOBER 31 STOCK EKCIIANGE.—The business of the vs./tons share markets continued to improve during the early part of the week. and activity was the general characteristic. A sadden fall in the funds, arising from rumours of foreign political differences, checked the advancing tendency of the markets, and yesterday a flatness was observable which caused anticipations of lower prices; in several instances this expectation has been realised, but our market has recovered again to-day, and a good business has been done. Special general meetings have been held of the Midland, York and North Midland, Newcastle and Darlington, and North British Railway Companies, which have all passed off very satisfactorily to the shareholders.

The following scraps of general news and gossip are selected from the papers brought by the Great \V estern THE REVENUE.—The receipts at the Custom-house during the past month, as compared with those for the same time last year, were as follows :—September, 1845, 1,808,794 dolls. ; September, 1846, 1,548,654 dolls. ; decrease, 260,140 clAls. Of the sum received during the month 141,000 dolls. was in Treasury notes—so that the last receipts were but 1,407,654 dolls. The amount received for tolls on all the New York State Canals, during the third week in September, is 106,096 dolls. 27 cents ; being an increase over the same period last year of 650 dolls. 70 cents. The aggregate amount received, since the opening of navigation, is 1,777,322 dolls. 98 cents. CONSECRATION FOR OREGON.—A very imposing cere mony took place, on Sunday morning last, in the Roman Catholic cathedral at Montreal—the elevating to the episcopal dignity of the Rev. Mr. Blanchet, one of the canons, who was 'nominated at Rome for the office of Archbishop of Oregon. His title is " Archbishop of Walla-Walla." Seven dioceses are now formed in Ore gon, and provisionally three prelates superintend them, the Archbishop and two others.—New York Esquires, Oct. 2. ADMINISTERING JESTICE.—The Pittsburg Commercial gives an example of the manner in which the law is administered there. We are sorry to say the practice is not confined to that city. A mart named Dunn was con victed, in September, 1844, of murder, and sentenced p to be executed, but the case was taken on a bill of exce tions to the Suprem e C ourt and argued; the Court could not agree, and another argument was ordered. The case was called up again last week, but the Chief Justice decided only to hear it with a full bench, and as the ab sent member of the Court has not visited the city for more than three years, and may not be there for three years to come, the decision may be placed among the other glorious uncertainties of the law.—New 'York Mirror. HOTEL SET ON FIRE.—A well-dressed person, bring ing a fair show of baggage, took lodgings . yesterday at Lovejoy's, being assigned the highest room in the house, as that was the only one vacant. About half-past seven o'clock last evening he went out, and hung the key of his room in the usual place in the bar-room. In about ten minutes after a chambermaid discovered smoke is suing from his room, and giving the alarm the door was forced, and the bed discovered to be on fire. With diffi• culty the flames were subdued, when it occurred to exa mine the baggage of the new lodger. The trunks were opened, and found to contain—nothing. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT ST. Louts.--Jenk's hemp warehouse, a large and extensive establishment at St. Louis, was entirely destroyed by fire on Sunday, the 27th ult. Tho total loss is about 75,000 dollars, partly insured on the following artistes.- -Between 2,400 and 2,500 bales of hemp ; 17,000 and 18,000 bags of salt • 500 barrels of pork ; 15 h ogs h ea d s o f sugar ; a small lot of flour ; several lots of rope, gunny bags, bagging, queensware. oils, &c., besides the fixtures of the house and counting-rooms, and the machinery and implements for pressing and baling hemp ; and a large lot of stoves, castings, and hardware, belonging to C. M. Valeau, amounting to near 10,000 dollars' worth, and 100 crates of queensware. The St Louis New Era adds, that the hemp destroyed has swept away nine-tenths of the article in the city. EXTENSIVE FIRE DOWN EAST.—A very destructive fire commenced, on Tuesday forenoon, in the wood lands of Mr. Clark, in the south-west part of Ply mouth. It was still burning at the last accounts, and the fire had extended over a range of eight miles, and between one and two thousand cords of wood had been consumed. The fire took place from a coal pit.— New York Express. HORRIBLE TRAGEDY.—The Warsaw (Ky.) Herald states the following dreadful account :—" It seems that Mr. Edes had got into a row with his wife, and that she had sent for Mr. John Green, the husband of her sister, to interfere and protect her. Mr. Green first sent his son, a youth about grown, and afterwards f o ll owe d w ith some other men about his house. When he got into the yard of Edes's house he made threats, &c., which in duced Edes to come out. Just as Edes opened the door young Green stepped up bcfore his father, who had pre viously armed himself with an ax, and received the blow which his father aimed at Edes. The ax penetrated through just under his shoulder blade, to his heart, and he died instantly, uttering but one groan. None of the parties had been arrested ; they resided about five miles down the river. SOME WHAT DANGEROUS.—The Louisville journal of the 26th ult. relates, that while the steam-boat Seabird was at Pittsburgh a large box was placed on board, and the Captain not knowing what it contained, put it in the engine room. On the way down the box by accident was partially opened, when it was found to be full of kegs of gunpowder. all in the immediate vicinity of the fire. FULL BLAST OF Lew.—The Courts yesterday were in tolerable full blast. The United States District Court met, and the application on behalf of P. Rosier, charged with larceny at sea, to have his security tested by a jury trial, as in the case of Freeman, at Auburn, Kleim in this city; was renewed. After a long argument, the Court granted the motion, and a jury was empannelled to try whether he was or not insane. Since his arrest he has been under medical treatment, and his appearance in Court, with a long beard, shaven head, and wild eyes, certainly made him look much like a madman. While in Court he became so outrageously violent, the Court directed him to be removed, which was done, and the evidence was continued.—New York Tribune.

AND K.C.H.—The half-yearly inspection of the Woolwich division of Chelsea pensioners took place on Saturday, before Sir Thomas Downham, C. 8., Commandant of Woolwich Garrison, Brigade Major Burke Cappage, R.A., and several other officers. The men went through their exercise in a soldierlike manner, and at the conclusion Sir Thomas Downman advanced towards them, and after expressing the great satisfaction he had experienced in witnessing their move ments, said that he was surprised that they should have been so correctly executed, considering the short time the men had been under drill. For this he was bound to acknowledge the ability of their commanding of:Beer, Captain Forbes. Though they were not able to perform their duties so actively as when they were young men, their steadiness and regularity that day had proved that as light infantry they were able to take the field with ' any troops in the service. After expressing kis pleasure that not a single case of irregularity had been reported against them, he expressed a wish that they might spend their winter comfortably and happily. 'I he men were then marched to the west square, and dismissed till the spring, when they will again assemble for drill. It was expeced that they would have been reviewed in Hyde Park by his Royal Highness Prince Albert and the Duke of Wellington, but the review has been postponed, owing to the advanced state of the season.
