PROSPECTUS. , This Company has been forme d to work Gold and other Mines a one of the most favoured districts of Australia, and the Com ._,`"iitee of Management has obtained from the Proprietor a ulineral lease for forty -two y ears, of 12,500 acres, being halt o f the Segenhoe Estate, a very large portion of which been proved to conta in vast mineral riches, and to be ~ • _,'Re.rsected with quartzose aurife rous veins of the most promising 'Ur. sgeter. This estate was gra nted b y the Crown, has been in pos 'elision of the proprietor for 30 years, and permission has been sub. tautly given to work all mines, whether of gold, silver, or other "i_etals. • In 1836 this estate was pronounced by Judge Cracroft, an ninent. geologist, to be a mass of m ineral wealth, and subsequent *.vestigAtions have entirely confirmed the fact. It has been ascertained beyond a doubt, that auriferous deposits !Via throughout the Hunter River district, over which this estate ex . ;ends for 20 miles (vide Sir It. Murchison's Geological Lectures), and that the'sands of three rivers ru nnin g through the property are richly impregnated.. with gold. Gold is a lso known to exist in conjunction ‘n .„,._ many of the other ores , espe ciall y co pp er. The Committee have ' v cured the exclusive right of working all the minerals on the estate, .. it is ( to be observed that , from the abundance of copper ore t o 0 71 t1 on the Hunter River , t he co pp er -smelting companies on its ...""uks have already found it n ecessar y to increase their buildings 1. '''''d machinery. A remarkable fact connected with mining enterprise in Australia is, fat the . - first discoverer of gold there, Mr. Hargraves, has selected 1 4,1 Hunter River in preference to all other localities as the site of his first operations, and possessed himself of an estate within two hours' ride of Segenhee ~._Public attention is especially requested to the fact that powers to '",..derlet.; setts to other parties have been secured by the Committee ,„._'''' Management of this undertaking, as it is obvious that the large ra of the property will give scope for the profitable employment of elect thousands of miners and other workmen. It is propo ed to may machinery sufficiently powerful to crush all the quartz that i ,,ay be mined by the under-lessees, and to insert covenants that "..ii3' shall not be allowed to employ crushing mills owned by others 71thout the Company's s .nction. Arrangements have consequently ii , entered into with an emin ent surveyor to make a c mplete — V, eT of the estate, and to la y it out in mining setts. '-negotiations are pending; for portions of the property with three rtoi,_ Panies, which cannot fail to insure to the shareholders an imme ' return of the capital invested, and to become a certain source LI , fut ure - rev enue without risk, and the Committee are new prepared grant leases of setts to other parties. IThe Comittee of Management have also to announce two most aliortant m advantages which this undertaking possesses over all —w as. viz., a steam mill in full operation, erected by the proprietor f i t t i i Us, estate., and most admirably ada p ted, with some slight addi .Pnal machinery, for crushing and prep arin g the ores ; and that in .,"4l3ensable auxiliary for the per f ec tion of mining enterprises, an `"iindarice of water power. ~The project now offered to the public presents an opportunity for 44 8 Investment of capital of no ordinary character, looking to the t'_tent of land secured, the combinatio n of its mineral resources, the r. advantage's for the transport of produce , th e abundance of fuel fo r Working steam-engines and other purposes, the production of estone for erecting buildings, the amp le steam and water power, the admission, duty free, of all machinery and goods, the restriction Lwhich is so great an impediment to enter p rise in California, and the existence of English laws, making al l c ontracts bin ling ; so con- Vlent, therefore, is the proprietor of the suceess of the nnoertaking, 'gat he agrees to take two-thirds of the purchase-money in shares, kid requires only - the small royalty of one-fifteenth, ...Applications for shares and prospectu-es to be made at the tempo- Ty offices of the Company, 59, King William-street, City ; to the s olicitors of the Comp an y; and to Messrs.

The principal characters by Madame Castellan, Madlie. Seguin (her second appearance in England), Signor ROriColll, Signor Poloninl, Signor Soldi, and Signor Tamberilk. In the first act a Divertissement will be given, in which Madlie. Brun e i, Madlles. Lehlona, Helene Beilottl, Louise Bedotti, ICo lsmbrg; Messieurs Alexandre and Millard, and Madlle. Robert, wil appear. In announcing the present, the Sixth Season of the Royal Italian Opera, the Directors feel it almost unnecessary to repeat their assurances, or to reiterate their pledges of former seasons, as to the future conduct of this great Lyrical Establishment : hoist's.; that the manner in which they have hitherto conducted It will be accepted by their Patrons as the best guarantee for its future management. During the extraordinary season of the past year, the Audiences of the Royal Italian Opera numbered among them some of the most eminent Musical Professors and Amateurs of Europe, many of whom were intimately acquainted with the great Lyrical Theatres of Italy, France, and Germany ; and it must be a matter o f p ride and gratification to the English Public, as well as to the Directors hemselves, to know that the Royal Italian Opera (both as regards the extraordinary talent of its individual Artistes, as well as its general completeness and perfection as a whole) was pronounced by these distinguished persons to stand unrivalled among its European competitors. By the following outline of the arrangements for the Present Season it will be seen that not only have the most distinguished Artistes of last season been re-engaged, but that others now occu pying the highest positions in the Continental Theatres have been added to the Establishment. The Orchestra and Chorus have re ceived several important additions ; and it will also be loan I that in the department of the Ballet (which will still be limited to short Divertissements, and to those Dances incidental to the Operas), a very cunsiderahle augmentation in the personnel has taken place. In fact, extensive as the Company of the Royal Italian Opera hi therto has been, the assemblage of Artistes this year will be found to surpass that of any former season. The Repertoire of the Royal Italian Opera now consists of THIRTY-SIX OPERAS. each of which is complete in Scenery, Cos tumes, and Appointments.

THE AMERICAN EXPEDITION AItAINST JAPAN. (From the .New York Courier and Enquirer.) The determination of oar Government to send a stronger naval force than usual for th,e protection of our commerce On the eastern coast of Africa has attracted very general remarks from the press; and, we are happy to add, that with the exception of one or two of Kos suth's penny organs, the policy of the Administration in this regard has been universally approved. The organs referred to, under the eauctien of Kossuth, no doubt re gret to see this " material aid" diverted from an attempt to replace Kossuth in the positioa which he so strangely abandoned, with 135,000 well-armed and gallant sol diers under his command, mid four of the principal for tresses of Hungary in his - possession. But both our Go vernment and our people have come to estimate Kossuth at his real value; and, inasmuch as it was only necese miry to learn the true character of the man to insure his harmlessness, it follows that Government may now dispose of its naval force as it pleases, without apprehension of being involved in a foreign war by this second Lopez. Hungarian intervention, and the crusade which Kossuth is preaching, are no more than the Cuban intervention and Cuban piracy which Lopez inculcated; and from the beginning Kostuth's impudent appeals from the Government to the people, and his avowal that he is raising money and buying arms to wage war against a Government with which we are at peace, should have caused him to be treated as was Lopez and his expedition to revolutionise Cuba. We can not perceive why Lopez should have been prosecuted for getting up an expedition to revolutionise Cuba, and Kossuth be permitted to preach a similar crusade against Austria. Oar people are as hostile to Spanish as to Austrian despotism; and their sympathies should be with Cuba, instead of, atetellairs4VlB, • tt "e s tier sway, the :folly araniiiiitedifieti rat. . . ' r. yention in European affairs becomes so apparent, that all parties unite in the opinion that it is not necessary to support a cnange in tne roreign Gee_ vernment; hence the immediate' departure of our squa dron to the China Seas and the north-eastern coast of Africa. The unusual strength of the force about to sail, and the tact that the most distinguished and proverbially the most efficient efficer in the navy, Commodore Perry, is about to assume the command of the East India squad ron, have natursliy .excited more than ordinary itiquirt and discussion in relation to the immediate objects at the expedition. By some it has been characterised as a warlike expedition, and very generally it is believed to have in view offensive operations against the empire of Japan. In common with our contemporaries we have institeited inquiries in regard to the objects of the expe ditien, and we are gratified to learn that it is designed to bo entirely peaceful in its character, but, at the same time, sufficiently imposing to command respect in the enforcement of justice, end of sufficient strength to en force compliance with all proper demands. The empire of Japan covers an area of more than one hundred thousand square miles, and lies between the 30th and 43d degree of N. latitude, and the 129th end 143 d degree of E. longitude ; and lying on the eastern side of the continent, has a climate similar to our own, between the same parallels of latitude ; that is between New Orleans and New York. Its population is estimated at 30 000,000, and, covering an archipelago its sea coast is more extensive than the whole Aelantic coast of the United States. It not only lies directly op posite our po s sessions on the Pacific coast, but the two great islands of Niphou and Yesso form the Strait of Sanger, through which huedreds of our whale fleet are compelled anhually to past; but to land upon the shores of which for supplies of wood, water, or the necessaries ef lite, or be forced upon them by stress of weather, sub jects the unfortunate whaler to robbery or death. Japan not only refuses to htld commercial intercourse with the rest of the world—a very questionable right—but she goes further, and, occupying as she does an enorm ;us extent of sea coast, she not only refuses to open her ports to foreign vessels in distress, but actually opens her batteries upon them when they approach within gun shot of her shores; and when driven upon them by stress of weather she seizes upon, imprisons, exhibits in cages, and actually murders the crews of such ill-fated vessels. Now, we deny the right of any nation situated upon, and occupying a portion of the sea-coast of the world, to refuse all commercial intercourse with other nations. Such a course may be tolerated by civilized nations so lorg WI it does not interfere with their commerce and the welfare of the human race; but we insist that it is the right of civilized and Christian nations to compel barbarians thus sittieted to submit to the general law of nations, and to a certain degree of intercourse; and especially is the right of all the nations of the world to have free access to every port and every part of the coast of the whole world in times of distress and danger, and to demand .at the hands of the people occupying such harbours and coast protection, aid, and hospitality. This, we say, is the right of all na tions in all the harbours and on all the coasts of the world; and when this right is denied and withheld, it becomes the duty of a commercial people to remedy the evil, and to secure to their commerce the protection to which it is so justly entitled. Japan denies this right. Among the hundreds of American whalers annually compelled to pass the Straits of Sanger, some are ine vitably forced by stress of weather upon the inhospitable coasts on either hand, and the consequences are impri sonment or death; and vessels in distress, instead of being permitted to make a friendly harbour for repairs and to refit, are compelled to keep at sea, to the almost certain destruction of all on board. This has been sub mitted to too long already, and the constant increase of our whale fleet and the consequent increase of disasters in this barbarous and inhospitable region have compelled our Government, unprompted except by its wise fore sight, to insist upon a le form in the policy and bearing or the Japanese towards the rest of the world. Tee single fact that at one time within the. last year there were 121 American whalers lying in the harbours of the Sandwich Islands—far away from their cruising grounds, because they could not enter any harbour on the coast of Japan for repairs—shows not only the extent of our commerce in that region, but the claims of humanity itself for protection against the barb4riatis who thus cut off, as it were, the commerce of the Yellow Sea and the Sea of Ode esk. Without being prompted thereto, as has bean charged, by the merchants of this city, but in obedience to a wise policy which seeks silk • to extend our comme-ce and protect our manufactures and agricelture, the Ad ministration has most wisely determined to demand re dress fer pest grievances from Japan, and to insist that in future the seamen of the civilized world, when cast upon their shores by the providence of God, or when compelled to seek refuge from the elements in the har bours on their coast, shall be treated with humanity at least, if not with the hospitality which it is their right to demand under such circumstances. With this view Commodore Perry has been selected to se:Roweled an expedition, which will necessarily require great prudence and discretion, united to great fen bear ance. firmness, and perseverance. These high quali ties have hitherto been exhibited by Perry on several occasions; and these qualities have, it is said, changed his destination from the Mediterranean, and t he pleasures and attractions of the most desirable com mand in the navy, to the command of an expedit ion which would be far - from acceptable, were it not for the good it promises mankind, and the certain protection which its successful termination will insure to American commerce in the east. The squadron will consist of the steamers Susquehanna, Mississippi, and Princeton—the former of which will be the flagship; a frigate, a sloop of-war, and a stereship; and we imagine, from what we can learn, that he will take with him light field guns, and whatever armament may be necessary to compel obedience to such demands as he may make for the re dress of past grievances, and for the surrender of certain Amoricen sailors now held in bondage, and, it is said, exhibited in cages through the country. We sincerely !rejoice that the Administration has pro jected, and finds itself at leisure to undertake, this all• important expottition; and that, too, without any other additional expense than the transportation of coal for steamers to so distant a region. That it can thus divert a portion of our navy afloat from other quarters is the result of the wisdom which has guided its foreign relations, and preserved it aloof from " entan gling allianeete . " in obedience to those counsels of Washington which Kossuth and his toadies have so mercilessly :ridiculed. And we rejoice, too, that what is about hexing done will be as much for the be nefit of the whole civilized world as for that of the United States. If we are correctly informed, COMMO don Perry will: :not only demand redress for past offences against us, and. 'the release of all American prisoners, but he will also , insist upon the release of all who may be held in bonds lee merely for having been cast upon their shores by Providence, no matter to what nation they may belmag . And he will insist too that in future all the nations of the world shall have the right to seek the harbours tef Japan in stress of weather, and to re pair damages; and that they shall be hospitably received and their wants; be supplied by such as may be disposed to aid them, in se tad of punishing with death, as at pre sent, whoever t tares to succour the distressed. So far as commerce is concerned, it anything eau he accomplished, it will, of cour se„ be the result of peaceful negotiation; and he will neir,oi iate for the United States only. But he will claim a ed insist that all nations and peoples shall have the right to use the ports of Japan in distress, and be protected 1)y the Government. We do nut euppose that be will 9,,tte rapt forcibly to interfere with arty of their police regfeli thole?, or demand the right to land men, it the wants of c ommerce are frsely suppli e d without landing.

The rulers of that rich and populous country have for a long pe riod continued to act on maxims of exclusiveness so complete as to put even the policy of the Court of Pekin to shame. There is bat one European people—the Dutch—with whom they have consented to hold the most modified intercourse; and that intercourse has been limited to the admission of two ships annually from Ba tavia into the port of Nangasaki. The value of both cargoes is said to amount to about 300,000 dollars. We have lying before us an account current of the Dutch consignments and returns for a particular year. We find the imports into Japan consist of sugar,tin, cotton thread, black pepper, cloves, seed cloves, lead, sapanwood, Patna chintz, cloths, woollens, camlets, and a few minor arti cles of the l ike description. The return cargo is in the main made up of copper and camphor. In ,forraerdays, Japanese exports included timber, wheat, rice, cotton, silk, ambergris, &a. Nor has the rigid policy of excluson been applied only to the nations of the western world. All eastern peoples, with the single eXcepOorruf - thu Chinese, bare been p. 14 undcw ilia ban of the Japanese empire. Ten Chinese junks are an nually admitted into the port of Nangasaki as a setoff the two Dutch ships of Batavia. But for these trifling exceptions, as far as the rest of the world are concerned, the empire of Japan might as well have no existence. It is a fair question how far any tribe or race of human beings possesses the right of excluding the rest of mankind from all partici pation in the benefits to be derived from an ex teesive and beautiful region. That it abounds with mineral and .vegetable productions, and is admirably adapted for carrying on commercial inter course with advantage to the inhabitants and profit to he rest of mankinc, may not affect the properties of the problem, but at least it quickens our desire for a solu :Ion. I, this right of exclusion tound,d on reason or on 'twee? If on reason, we should he curious t) see the Aromt.nts by which it can bs maintained. IF the right exclusion is simply the right of force, why, let those who appeal to such a principle be prepared at all times to make it good. They may feel well assured that, sumo rime or other, their pretensions will be put to tile test. In any case, they can lay little claim to sympathy. They have by their own acts put themselves out of the pale of the great brotherhood of nations. They have r, fused all aid to others; how can they ask it for them SOW!, r The Tartar dynasty had long contrived to exclude the wort , ' from any but the most humiliating intercourse with China. That pretension has been set at rest for ever by the operation of the British forces. Now it would seem the term of civilized exclusion from Japan is at hand, although, happily, wo are not in this instance to be the executioners. The expedition is to be undertaken by the United States. If carried our in a spirit of humanity and sound policy, without unnecessary waste of life, asd under the tuli impression that the agents of the Government, and not the great mass of the p‘pulation, are in fsult, Com. modore Perry will be backed with the sympathies of all European nations. That our friends on the other side of the Atlantic are in good earnest sufficiently appears by an announcement which will be found in another por tion of our columns this day. The enterprise is under taken by the Government at Wasington. and one of the best officers on the Navy List of the United States has been appointed to the command. The squadron will consist of the Susquehannah steam-frigate, which is now cruising in the eastern waters, and of the steam frigates Mississippi and Princeton; a frigate, a sloop of war, and a store ship. It is stated that the greatest efforts are being made in the New York navy yard to get the expedition ready for instant service; incited, by a comparison of dates, it is probsable that Commodore Perry may have left New York already with his squadron for the seas of Japan. The force to be employed is amply sufficient for the purpose. The officers intrusted with the command can have little difficulty in dictating their own terms, both at Nangasaki and Jed,do. with such a power at their disposal. An expedition. against Japan is a much simpler affair than our own operations in China. We are not, indeed, sufficiently aware of the internal politics of the country to know wbetther or not the Em peror of Japan has as much to dread from his own sub jects, in case of reverses, as his Cele stial cousin at Pekin. The Japanese are undoubtedly a snore military nation than the Chinamen; but it is not likely they can offer any effective resistance against the howitzers and rocket tubes of the United States' squadron. Above all, the operations can be mainly conducted without quitting the seacoast. The surveys of the Ntangasaki waters have been very carefully made. The LTn iced States whali ng ships are intimately acquainted with t he navi g ation along the eastern shore of Japan, e.nd so through the Straits of Sangara, which divide Niphon from Jeso. Whatever else of this kind may ba necessary is easily to be accomplished by the armed b oats of the expedi- non. Of Japan we ourselves know little or nothing. Our ignorance is in some measure attri.butable to our own neglect. The last English ship the t visited Nangasaki was the Semarang, on which occasie n, if the testimony of Mr. Midshipman Marryat is to b e credited, the Ja panese instantly ran up a number of chintz and coloured cetton farts, in the old Chinese styli). Well nigh forty eeara had elapsed since an Englisl a ship-of-war—the Phaeton—had last appeared in that port. Time was when the English might have turns d their intercourse with Japan to good account. In 'the year 1616 the Emperor of Japan had granted to our people the privi leges of commerce, with permission to erect a factory. Seven years afterwards, in 1623, the East India Company abandoned the settlement b• cause obeir commerce with Japan had not at the outset yielded them such profitable returns as they had expec tell. In 1672 the Company attempted to relies., their intercourse with Japan, bat the attempt proved ineffectual. Our King had married a Portuguese Princess, and the Por tuguese at that period were rega rd ed by the Court of Japan with much the same feeling us the French by the Seeniarda dueiug tho Peninsular tear. Uutel the con clusion of the eighteenth century ttte question was left et rest, when a :elect committee of East India Com pany was appointed to it quire into the pelicy of re epeeing the trade. Will it be believ ed that half-a-doz English men of bu siness were found evho reported against ' the policy of making such an often ipt, mainly because the consignments of Japantse cop per might interfere with the products of our own mine, —as though copper were the only article which could be obtained th from Japan? In some degree,therefore, we have to auk our own indiff e rence and insction, if the shores of Ja pan have been so lo n g closed agateinst us ; but, if we mistake not, the officers of the Dutch factory at Nan gasaki have been still more to liiame. It has been the traditional policy of that nation in the Eastern waters to maintain monopolies at all hazards, and by all means. At the end of the 'seventeenth century, when Christianity was extirpat ed from the islands and Europeans banis hed from tho d ir limits, an excep tion was made in fa vour of the Dutch. Their trade was at one time of enormous verve, but hats dwindled down to its present comparatively insignificant amount through their own mismanagement and indiscretion. There was a period in the history of their commercial intercourse with the Japanese wh en they drained the islands of the precious metals to an incredible amount. This excited the apprehensions of the Court, much in the same way as the exchange of silver, and nothing but silver, for opium lately brought ',twitters to a crisis in China. The value of the currency- was constantly tam pered with in all transactions witse Dutch and Japanese; and to such an extent, Mr. Imhoff, " that our commerce was carried ott sby people groping in the dark, neither knowing the actin al price of purchase or aale. Since 1710 all artioles of trade not disposed of at a profit of 63 per cent. rendered a loss." The same writer tells us that his country men have over and over again declined to receive many valuable articles of commerce which were from time to time tendered by the Japanese. The conduct of the on servants at Japan, besides, appears, as is usual in such cases, to have been infamous. The encroachments in laza of a dignified but firm resistance to all the and insults of Japanese, ga ve way in every in stance. " Stivers if the you please, and blows if you will , " a pp ears to have been their mo an an d certainly they are not ver y favourable i n stances of' the success of such a policy in the intercourse between European and Asiatic nations. Enough has been said to show that public opinion in England will ran in favour of the expedition which is about to sail from New York. It should not, however, be forgotten that both humanity and policy recommend asoleration in the midst of success.

This was an application on the part of Mrs. Cumming for leave to traverse the inquisition under which she has re cently been declared to be of unsound mind. The simple question involved is the legal one, whether a person found lunatic by inquisition may traverse as a matter of right. The question was very learnedly argued by Mr. Bethell, Mr. Ronndell Palmer, and Mr. Southgate on behalf of the petitioner; and by the Attorney-General and Sir W. Page Wood (only part head) on Wednesday week. Mrs. Cumming was in attendance in the Lord Chancellor's private room. Sir W. PAGE WOOD was now heard in continuation of his argument against the right of the petitioner to traverse. Lord Eldon, in the case of Ludlam, rescinded the order to traverse on the affidavit of the medical attendant that the petitioner was a raving madman. In the case of Saumarez, cited briefly in the case of "Ex parte Bridge" (Craig and Phillips, 338), already cited in the course of this argument, Lord Eldon, after considering many affidavits, refused leave to traverse. In that case the petition proceeded from the lunatic and his wife. As ra epected the weight of authorities referred to on the point of the right to traverse, the facts stood thus :—Lord Ilardwicke twice, in the case of Roberts (3 Atkins, 308) and Barnsley (3 Atk. 184), decided that the traverse was not a matter of right. Lord Thurlow, in re Fust ( 1 Cox, 418), held that it was in the discretion of the Lord Chancellor to grant leave ; and this view was also taken by Lord Keene. It was not contended, on behalf of the present petitioner, that the right was absolute, but only discretionary; that is to say, that there was a right of traverse, subject to the Lord 'Chan cellor being satisfied that the applicant was capable of an act of volition. The lunatic would, therefore, be the only person to satisfy the Court on that point. But the sole purpose of the inquisition was to show that the petitioner was not capable of exercising a sound act of volition, and the Court would be liable, perhaps, to Le imposed upon by interested parties. Before the late Lord CAtenham's decision in "Ex parte Bridge," the authorities were all against the absolute right to traverse. Lord Cottenham decided the case under the impression that Lord Eldon had leant to the opinion that traverse was of right. But from the examination which had now been made of the facts, in the case of Saumarez, it was clear that this was not so. The Act 6 Geo. IV., c. 53, made the exercise of the power to grant traverse discretionary in the Lord Chancellor. It was thereby expressly provided that the Court should" hear and determine" the application, and it must consequently, therefore, be a discretionary power in the Court. A discretion had always been exercised, and prior to the enactment of 2 and 3 Edward IV., c. 8, extend ing the right of traverse to cases of lunacy, the Court in quired into the title of the applicant to traverse an inquisi tion. Should the Court now affirm the absolute right, then ' it would be depriving persons suffering under insanity of a very necessary protection, and the Court in granting an ap plication of this nature would descend from its judicial posi tion to one simply ministerial. Mr. ROLT was also on the same side, but intimated that he did not intend to trouble the Court. The LORD CHANCELLOR asked how many counsel were on each side. Mr. ROLT said there were three to support the petition and five to oppose. The LORD CHANCELLOR remarked that as the property was so small, so great an expense should not have been incurred. Two counsel on each side would have been enough. Mr. ROLT explained that it, was uncertain whether the en gagements of the Attorney .General and his own would enable them to attend. It was, therefore, necessary to retain the services of of her counsel. Mr. PETERSDORFF, of the common law bar followed, on the same side, and submitted that at common law there was no absolute right of traverse. It was discretionary in the Court to traverse a coroner's inquisition, and in seeking to tra verse an inquest 01 outlawry the Court must be satisfied that there are good grounds. If the power in Court was merely iniuisterial, surely then in case of a refusal of traverse the person aggrieved would constitutionally have a right to seek redress by mandamus or otherwise. But no such proceeding was ever heard of. The right to habeas corpus was one of the most absolute rights possessed by the subject; but even there the court must be satisfied that there is proper ground for issuing the wiit. It was ad mitted that in practice notice of a petition to traverse must be served on the parties interested. If the right were a matter of course then whist, was the &eject of that pro ceeding ? Mr. elounes was on the same side. Mr. BETHELL, in reply, submitted that there had been much misapprehension of the meaning of the statutes. By the common law of England, whenever the king's title stood on record on eu office found, there was no remedy for the subject but to proceed either by monstrans de droit or by a petition of right. But the 34 and 36 of Edward 111. gave right of traverse; the right, however, being exclusively confined to the case of lands seized to the use of the king. There was no statutable right to traverse till 2 and 3 Ed ward VI., c. 8. Then with respect to the 6of Geo. IV., c. sa, it had been asked on the other side why, if there was no discretion in the Court, the heir at law and next t of kin were served with the petition, applying for to traverse? It was not served on them in their character of heir or next of kin, but as parties interested, and that only if they had the carriage of the inqui sition. The latter statute was based on the Act of Ed ward VI., and the discretion which it gave was ;only with the view to limit the time within which traverses should be prosecuted. In the case of Ludlam, S 3 much relied ou on the other side, it was clearly apparent that the lunatic was not capable of sound volition, but even there the Court might pubalhly have only receivea the attilavit as a means of proof that the lunatic was really the petitioner.

On Saturday nearly 50,G00 people visited the con demned building, and about four o'clock there must have been 20,000 persons assembled at one time. The dis play of carriages outside reminded one of the Exhibition, and within, the appearance of the company exceeded in respectability and nearly eqealled in numbers many of the shilling days. The experiment of the contractors in throwing the place open to the public has, so far, been a complete success. Thousands of signatures have been attached to the petitions laid out on tables in the transept, and, had the facilities for signing been greater, this method of manifesting popular feeling might have been extended much further. But a mere sentimental wish will not save the building now, and, if it is to be prowled, vigorous steps must be taken by all who are interested in the subject. So strongly is this felt, and so pressing is the emergency, that three dis tinct movements have simultaneously originated on the subject. In one of these Sir Moses Montefiore has taken the initiative, and has announced a meet ing to be held at the Mansion-house on the 7th of April, over which the Lard Msyor has promiaed to preside.

[PRICE SD. The following extracts from a communication which I received from the Regent of Loo•Choo, when I visited that island in October, 1850, give a brief outline of the present relations between the two countries, and may be considered interesting at the present moment:— "•• . . Ever since the Ping-Han (title of the former Government of Loo-Choo) was declared an here ditary kingdom, under the Ming dynasty, and thus be eaase tributary to China, whenever we convey our tri ne:a (to China), we buy there silk stuffs for official zaps, and dresses, medicines, and other articles; this, however, would not su ffi ce; but as the Too•kia ra (in Loo-choo pronounced Toochiira, probably the Satynme) Islands, belonging to Japan, trade with the neighbouring countries, we procure from them rice, grain, timber, iron, copper, tea, and other things, but scarcely in suffi cient quantity. " Grain being scarce in our poor country, our daily diet consists of mere potatoes, of which we have not one catty too many; when visited by the calamities of a typhoon or drought, though we should desire to feed only moderately on the wild sago tree, still it would not suffice to appease our hunger; and we must therefore barter our black sugar, grass cloth, &0., for the rice and grain of these islands. " We hear the laws of Japan severely prohibit pro miscuous trading with other countries; only in the port of Chang-ki (Nagasaki), where officials - are stationed to keep a strict watch, a fixed and limited number of ships, as well as of goods are admitted, and Chinese and Dutch merchants yearly visit it for trade. " The Too-charese, although belonging to the Japa nese territory, yet being near to us, are permitted to trade with this place; but if, on their returning home , they should import forbidden goods by smuggling, if detected by the officials they would be severely pu nished. Should we now trade with you, the Teo•charese by Japanese laws, be strictly forbidden from having any dealings with us at all." • • • • And the Regent, as though fearing the worst result if the attempt were to be made, concludes as follows: — Look down in pity, and desist from wishing to trade with us." Hence it appears that " the rigid exclusive policy" of Japan is relaxed in favour of Loo-Choo, but on condi tion that its 3,000,000 or 4,000,000 inhabitants are to be debarred from the advantage of trading with Europeans, and thus an important market is closed against our merchants. It is impossible not to wish, most cordially, success to the Americans in their expedition against Japan, and I will only add that the committee of the Loo-Choo Naval Mission intends to take advantage of the opening pros pect for the advancement of Christianity in that remote region, by sending out another missionary immediately, to assist Dr. Batteiheins in his labours.

An unhesitating opinion was thus over and over again expressed by Lord Eldon, one of the most can to • idges who had ever occupied a seat on the b enc h ; an d in Hal s case (2 Vesey, jun.) he held that the ri g ht was ned to the person found lunatic, but extended to third was pa made stranger parties avelganterest ; and even where the applica tion by a not having an interest, as i n Ward's case (6 Vesey, 579), the Chancellor did not decide against such a person's right, but merely observed that the Court would regard such applications with jealousy. Lord Rosslyn, in Ferne's case, was also of opinion in favour of the traverse being of right. Lord Eldon, as already remarked, had expressed his opinion over and over again. Lord Lynd hurst was never called on to express any opinion on the point, and Lord Brougham had not expressed a judicial opinion. Lord Cottenham in "Ex parte Bridge" was in favour of the right, and Lord Truro, in two cases which came before him, deci led that it was a matter of right. But none of these judges had the advantage o f hearing the whole question so comp re h ens iv e ly eed learnedly argued or being assisted as he (th e L or d Ch anc ellsr) was on the present oc casion. It seemed to him tbst it ould be difficult to deny that these authorities were entitled to greatest weight, and it would require much deliberate r 0 , hesitation on the part of any judge who should venseae to oppose his single opinion. He certainly was not that judge, for his opinion u in p g on an to d entirely coincided with those expressed uy his predecessors in favour of the right to travrse—that it WI! a right li wi a t d bi h n e th b e ee f n ull ca m ll e e a d n • • , decidesptotfhtehgeuAescut question w Pe u r l iia_ni s erst e . benefit of the learned argument in this ce.se, he should have arrived at the same conclusion —that the right was expressly given by the 6th section of the statute of Edward VI., and that the statute of George IV. did not alt er t h e character of • that right; but then the question of th e r i g ht t o t ra verse being acknowledged i . —and n that opinion the Lords Justices concurred—a question of a very different description arose — the question how was that right to be exerc i sed? It was i m possible to deny that in all the cases of this nature which had come before the Court, attention had been in some de gree directed to the question whether the traverse should issue. But then it was said that this was inconsistent with the position taken on the other side. Of course y ou must first decide, in order to come to a satisfactory conclusion, whether the issuing is of ri g ht or not. B ecame if it was of right, then the consideration w hi ch the Court would give in such cases would b e with a very different view, if the traverse were held to be not strictly of right. He thought that it was proper that a reasonable control should be in the power of th e Court. For example, should a case be ;presented, where the Chancellor at once saw unmistakeable signs of madness, no man could imagine that it would be a proper case in which a traverse should issue; for there there. world be prima fade proof against the assertion that the applidant had been " un truly" found lunatic under the inquisition sought to be tra versed. In some of the cases, particularly those before Lords Hardwicke and Eldon, matters appeared to be entered into which seemed to carry the inquiry beyond this extent. It was not surprising that there should be some evidence of this kind, as parties were left to their own discretion, and affida vits were made entering into the question of sanity or in sanity ; for the affidavits being made, the Court could not prevent them being filed. He could not admit that there was any authority laid down by Lord Elden which bound him to go into the evidence which had been adduced before thejary, when be found that Noble Lord over and over again deliberately stating that traverse was a matter of right. That now brought him to the consideration of what was the proper discharge of i the duty which de volved on the Great Seal n an application like the present for leave to traverse. There could be no doubt that the first duty was to make such inquiry as should sa tisfy his mind that the application was a bond fide one; that Mrs. Cumming really desired the traverse, and that she was capable of an act of volition. He did not mean to say that if he had found on seeing Mrs. Cumming that she was not actually the petitioner, he would not have allowed the tra verse. That point was not now before the Court, and on it he offerredno opinion. In the case as presented the Court would decide that the traverse was a matter of right. In his interview with Mrs. Cumming he had represented to her what would be the effect of the traverse, and he had also fully explained all the consequences in respect of costs, and he had found her rational, collected, and dispassionate. He did not, of course, now allude to the general state of her mind; but, on the question of traverse or no traverse, he was bound to say that she was as composed and rational as any rea sonable person with whom he bad ever conversed. She was most desirous to traverse, even though the rema:nder of her property should be sacrificed. Bang therefore satis fied on that point, he was of opinion that the traverse was of right, and that the Court were bound to allow it. But before he parted with this case he must say that it was one which the Court had heard with much pain. This pro perty is of small amount. and even with care—and he saw no signs of care—could ill afford the costs of these proceed ings. Unless it was than seed with the strictest economy, the whole of it will be swail3wed up in meetin the proceedings pro fessedly taken for the purpose of is g it. It woul a lasting reproach to the parties on bi.th sides—net excepting the counsel by whom they are aus;sed. if these proceedings are allowed to be carried on in such a in, ner as to exhaust this poor lady's eroperty. Let them e , u. hink of this. This lady is now very infirm in health and se% '...10g 76 years old. He repeated that it would be a 'astir dis,srace to all parties concerned, and it would be a represeh t,o on the law, if through the:e proceedings the few year.. which will be left to her must be spent in p ,verty. Here hact no less than eight counsel been engaged in supporting and op posing this application, three on the one side and five on the other. He now made an order that only the costs of two counsel en each side should be allowed; and he would make an order that future expei:ses to be incurred in these proceedings be cut down to the lowest possible point, for he was determined to preserve what remained of this lady's property, if it is in the power of the Great Seal to pre serve it. A portion of the audience by which the Court was filled loudly applauded the Noble and Learned Lor d on concludin g I his judgment, but of course so indecent an expression of feel ing in a court of justice was instantly suppressed. The Lord Justice KNIGHT BRUCE and the Lord Justice Lord CRANWORTH expressed severally, but briefly, their full con currence in the view taken of the petition by the Lord Chan cellor, and the order was made accordingly. Mr. BETHELL asked their Lordships to stay the proceed ings in the lunacy. The Loan CHANCELLOR said the Court as then constituted had nothing to do with that question. The application must be made elsewhere.
