Lord BROUGHAM said that what had taken place in the other. House of Parliament relative to the Patent Bill, as detailed by, his Noble and Learned Friend, afforded a rea son why he Should refrain from pressing his Noble and Learned. Friend, on the Woolsack to introduce the great Chancery iteform Bill into their Lordships' House. The Earir*ELLENBOROUGH recollected a conversa-- tion he had. had Many years ago with the late Lord Lon donderry on this subject, and he believed there never wawa man more carefully observant of the practices of the Hou or better acquainted with its rules.—(lle . ar, hear.) . And he said he did not think they sh ould gaii much time by introducing measures into their Lordships House, for he never knew an instance of any Bill coming down from the House of Lords which was received with favour by the House of Commons. If that was said with truth of an unreformed Parliament, he confessed that he did not think that the change which had taken place since was likely to have improved the feeling of the House of Commons in that respect. Their Lordships' strength was in dealing with mea sures which came up from the other House; and he thought their Lordships would best consult their inter es t s b y a dh er i ng to the old practice.—(Hear.) Earl GREY could not agree with the Noble Earl. There was no doubt that the prospect of passing important mea Bm .„ was much greater when they were commenced in the other House of Parliamentintroduced and for that reason he much re gretted that a Bill by the Noble Earl opposite, which passed through their Lordship? House, had met with so little favour in the other House of Parliament. He thought, however, they would never see the work of legis lation carried on without delay, until some arrangement could be hit upon by which measures which had been con sidered in one session in the other House of Parlianlent could be taken up in the next in their Lordships' House.-- Hear, hear.) He beli eve d th ere h a d been a valid technical objection to the Bill which had been proposed by the Noble Earl ; but he did not say that they should not adopt, by resolution or Bill, some satisfactory mode of dealing, in sub sequent years, with measures which had been in former ses sions under the consideration of Parliament.—(Hear, hear.) Their Lordships then adjourned.

FEBR UARY 10, 1852. In the House of Lords last night, The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, St the request of the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, postponed his questions on Indian affairs till Monday next. The LORD CRANCELLOR moved the second reading of the Common Law Procedure Amendment Bill, and pro ceeded to explain, at considerable length, the various alterations and improvements contemplated by the measure. Lord LYNDHSJRST did not object to the second read ing of the Bill, as all the objections to it related to mat ters of detail and would be best discussed in Committee. He could not, however, understand, as the machinery of the County Courts had worked so well, why the same machinery should not be applied to the supe rior courts in all cases not exceedi . a g two or three hun dred pounds. Lord BROUGHAM thought the hest course would be to read the Bill at once a second ti rne. He also agreed in the suggestima of Lord LYNDHUMST as to the appli cation of the County Court machinery to the superior courts. The LORD CHANCELLOR rems , .. ged that, before he acceded to Lord LYNDHURST'S s aggestion, he should be glad to have his positive assns ance that the County Court machinery was adapted to th o superior courts. The Bill was then read a second time. Lord STRANOFORD wished IO as k Lord GRANVILLE whether an answer had been returned by Lord PAL MERSTON to the remonstrances of the French Ambas sador respecting foreign refugees, and, if so, why it had been omitted from the papers laid before Parliament? Earl GRANVILLE replied that no unswer had been re turned by Lord PALMERSTON to tbe remonstrance re ferred to, but he had every reason t D believe, if the Noble Lord had returned an answer, it w could not have been discordant to the answer returned by himself. After some further conversation the matter dropped. Lord LYNDHURST then made I lome observations on the course of legislation pursued by the House. After which their Lordsbtps adjf 'caned. In the House of Commons, Lord J. RUSSELL moved for leave. to bring in a Bill to extend the right of voting for Members of Parlia ment, and to amend the laws relating to the representa tion of the people. With reference to the satisfactory state of this country, in its home find foreign relations, he thought the present was a more proper time fur con sidering this subject than when thse country was in a state of agitation and excitement. After a brief expo sition of the principles upon arliich such a measure should be based, and adverting no the importance of the functions performed by that House, Lord Jome noticed the prominent features of various schemes of Parliamentary reform which had been proposed antecedent to the Act of 1832, and explained the mein c hjects contemplated by that great measure, nan rely the disfran chisement of nomination boroughs, and the enfran chisement of large towns thet excluded from the representation. It was not then intended that there should be no boroughs with small constituencies. He thought it would be extremely un wise, and that it would destroy the balance of the Constitution, to say that only counties and large cities and towns should enjoy the franchise, excluding small representations. In regard to disfranchisement, therefore, the present Bill pro posed to disfranchise only in cases of proved corrup tion, and by another Bill he should propose to make a considerable change in the mode of inquiry into cases of corruption, whereby, upon an address of the House, founded even upon common fame, it should be lawful for the Crown to appoint a Commission clothed with the same powers of inquiry as those which had been so effectual in the case of St. Albans. In respect to the extension of the franchise, the grounds upon which the present measure proceeded were, first, that the Reform Act, in requiring a 10/. qualification for household voting, had placed the suffrage rather too high; secondly— and this consideration had great influence upon his mind —the growing intelligence of the people. He proposed, therefore, to reduce the household qualification to Si. rated value, which would add a great number of persons to the constituency, to whom he was persuaded the franchise might be safely in trusted. As regarded the counties, he did not propose to change that which had been the gene ral constitution of that House, which was placed on a different basis from that of the representation of bo roughs. The great change which was effected in this respect at the time of the Reform Bill was one Introduced by a Noble Lord not then in this House, the present Duke of Buckingham, which went upon the principle of tenure. It was now proposed to give the right of voting to persons paying au occupying rent of 201. instead of 501., as before. There were also a number of persons possessed of free hold and other property who, at present, did not possess the right of voting, and it was proposed now to give the right of voting to all those persons who paid an :as sessed-tax of forty shillings per annum. With regard to small boroughs, against which such an outcry had been raised, he did not propose to destroy any of these, but, in order to diffuse the influence of property, which it was objected so greatly affected elections, he proposed in some instances to join together certain neighbouring towns and to unite them in one general representation. He stated at the time of the Reform Bill that none of the boroughs would have less than 300 electors; whilst that was the case ge nerally, there were fourteen small boroughs with foe than that number, there were up wards of thirty with less than 400, and several others with less than 500. He spoke of permanent e l ec tors, 101. householders, and freemen. He now proposed to make the limit 500, and to add places to small boroughs which had less than 560 electors. There were 67 boroughs to which this arrangement applied. These small boroughs generally, except some in York .hire, were in the south and west of England. They were si - nated in agricultural and not commercial parts of the country. Tee towns proposed to be added were of the same character. Whether this arrange lion was right or wrong, politic or impolitic, the result would be to establish the same balance 'if interest which was established by the Reform Bill. Ifn these small agricultural boroughs were disfranchised, Bbdthe right of voting was given to manufacturing towns, there would be man& landed interest would total change of that balance—the aczi i i n ri te ri r li est ru. z d ould in beits stead. It m an ig d ht the right, to tt emen mi a dopt such a plan, and many Gen tle presengt t wi s h i t; but he was not prepared on rangement, occasio n to propose any such ar- Commons would it were a d opte d, t h e H ouse of an bed it might pas the witness of fierce struggles, re liable to scree a measures which would probably Parliament. Thegre opposition in the other House of Bill which ge wou w id ere other propositions in the shortly in a previous sessi on thet h o h rtly state. He stated taining the present property e saw no reason f or re present it y qualification of Mem was easily evaded to the general principles ot the re that it was contrary he for one would willingly se re i rntation, and that he still maintained that opini on, removed. Now , and he had in troduced a clause repealing all Acts on the • sub ject,*ng with the Act of A thequalification tine, whi c h on ginally enacted Members for 13E. M in same position as those for not required to have Scotland, who were Ther e a pro perty qualification. was another proposi tion introduce c into he intended tolthe the Bill, but he could not do so until subject w e , considered b a Comm. qtee of the House. It app eared y to him th at t h e state of the oaths taken by Members w as not consistent with religious liberty or justice. In the first place Members were required to take an oath renouncing a ll right of succession to th e throne in th e Stuart family, watch was not necessary now. There was also an invidious distinction made i n the oa'hs between Protestants and Roman Catho. lies. Thera ought to be an : oath isehich they could both alike take. The oath of supremacy was altogether us e l ess, because if a Roman Catholic came into the House w i t h feelings o f repug nance to the Established Church, and a desire to injure it, the oath would not prevent him exercising his feel ings. It would not Rouse to surprise the learn that the new form of oath was, generally speaking, that taken by Roman Catholics with the omission of certain words. The words "on the true faith of a Christian" would not be intro duced. It was abundantly clear that they were not inserted in the oath for the purpose of preventing I persons other than those professin g to be Christians from entering the Huust. He would make sim plea oath of allegiance to the Throne and fidelity to the succession, which all Members could take. There was I also another proposition is the Bill; when a Member vice. accepted office under the Crown, he vacated ' his seat and went back to his constituents, which was no d ou bt a wise arrangement. ' But there was another provision which appeared to him to be totally unnecessary, and that was that when a Member changed his office, when having been i Solicitor-General he became Attorney-General, he then had to vacate his seat, and go again to an election. Now, it appeared to him that the electors having once decided that they did not object to their Member holding office, it was unnecessary that he should be re-elected when he changed the office he filled, and he proposed, therefore, to alter the law in this respect to the extent he had stated. He be lieved he had now gone through the main features of the Bill which he proposed to lay before the House. It appeared to him to be one that was consistent with that which he had frequently said they ought to endeavour to frame, namely, a supplemental measure to the Reform Bill, and not a substitute for it. He had devoted great atttention to this subject, it was considerably more than thirty years ago sine, he first took it up, and it was nearly 30 years since he proposed the large measure of reform which existed, the eloquence and the opposition of some of the greatest statesmen of their day, but subsequently to that time he was successful, under the auspices of Lord Grey, in carrying a still larger measure of reform; and he was happy to - ay, that so far from fulfilling the warnings and forebodings of its opponents, the measure had tended to promote the happiness of the people, and to increase the liberty and dignity of the country, while it had in that by proceeding further in the same direction, no respect endangered the Throne or any of the institutions attached to it. And he trusted and taking care well to measure their steps in the advancement they made, they would contri bute still further towards extending the happiness of the people and increasing the general prosperity of the country, while they would, at the same time, be doing the best thing that could possibly be desired for firmly upholding and maintaining the principles of the Constitution. He had little to say with re gard to the two other Bills which wonld be intro duced as a corollary to the Bill which he now pro posed to bring in. One would relate to Scotland, and would make some provisions tor the suppression of ficti tious votes, while it would likewise:reduce the qualification of the voter from 101. to 51. With regard to Ireland, this very subject had so recently engaged the attention of Parliament in regard to that part of the kingdom, that it was not necessary to detain the House upon that part of the Bill. He did nut propose, however, to make any alteration with regard to counties, but with respect to cities and boroughs, he proposed to reduce the qualification of the voter from Si. to 51., as there was no doubt the present restriction had greatly and seriously reduced the number of electors. He trusted when this enlarged franchise was given, that the next step the House would see the Government of the country taking, would be to consider the great question of the education of the people. To his mind this question of the franchise was not less impor tant than that other of extending the education of the people. He was convinced that after a measure of this kind was carried, it would be the duty of the House to consider the means of adopting a really national system of education, and in doing so, he was sure they would confer upon the country and its people one of the greatest blessings that could possibly be conceived. He be lieved that the people were almost prepared for this, and after due discussion he hoped some such measure would be carried with general assent. He did not propose now to eater further into this subject; he had stated the general views of the Government upon the Bill which he proposed to bring in at a time of tran quillity and peace; and he hoped it would receive the sanction of the Legislature, and promote the happiness of the country. Mr. HUME coraplained of the omissions in, the Bill, and especially that the subjects of the ballot and of tri ennial Parliaments were evaded. Sir J. WALSH reproached Lord J. RUSSELL with again tampering with the institutions of the country, after having carried a comprehensive measure which was to obviate the necessity of further changes. These in roads upon the Constitution, he believed, would either reduce this country to a democratic republic, er disable that House from fulfilling its proper f unc t ions. Mr. H. BERKELEY thought the Noble Lord's Bill, though it would not be altogether approved, would be genera lly agreeable to the country. He ought, however, to have given voters a protection at the polling places by adopting the ballot. Mr. P. HOWARD spoke generally in favour of the measure. _ Sir R. INGnis protested against the meditated altera tion of the oath of ahjuration—a matter utterly uncon nected with the subj,ct of Parliamentary reform. and he trusted that the House would not sanction this part of the Bill. Mr. BRIGHT said, although he disapproved some por tions of the measure, which fell short of what the coun try expected, still there were other portions which would give some degree of satisfaction to largo classes. He regretted that Lord JOHN had not, by the ballot, taken out of the hands of employers the power of influencing the employ( d. He thought the county franchise, re duced to 201, still too high, and urged that the principle of disfranchisement should have been carried further; that larger constituencies should have additional repre sentatives, or that new constituencies should be created. Mr. RAMIE pointed out what he considered the de fects and deficiencies of the Bill, which would prevent, he thought, its becoming a permanent measure, or se curing the confidence of the great body of sincere Re formers. The present Ministers must bear all the respon sibility of this attempt to renew and promote agitation, made by them in order to retain cffice. Mr. RocHE exemined the measure on the supposition that it was to be applied in its integrity to Ireland. Mr. NEWDEGA.TE, deferring his remarks upon the Bill until a future stage of it, remarked that one incongruous provision showed that the Ncble Lord had determined that the House should not have the sanction of Chris tianity to their deliberations. Sir J. WALMSLEY believed that the measure would not meet with the approbat,on of the country, which would regard it eta unworthy o: the Noble Lord and his colleagues. After a few obaervations from Lord H. VANE, Mr. ANSTEY approved of the scheme as an instalment of a futare larger measure and a further extension of the franchise. Sir J. TYRELL recommended that this milk-and-water measure should be entitled " A Bill to retain Ministers in Office." Colonel Spa'mon? having spoken unfavourably, and Mr. 0. STANLEY favourably, o! the measure, Mr. DISRAELI: observed that it was impossible to give proper consideristion to such important propositions until the Bill w 29 in the hands of Members. He saw nothing in the scheme calculated to disturb—he could not call it the balance between the two :nterestr, but the adjust ment established by the Refo:m Act. As to the pre ponderance of political influeace, which might govern his vote upon the Bill, which was one of very question able propriety, he should reserve his observations until be saw the de tails, upon which the merits of such a measure mainly depended. He doubted whether it was comprehensive enough to deal with so great a question. Sir G. GREY brig fly replied' to some suggestions of Mr. DISRAELI, and invited Members who were adverse to the principle of the Bill to avow their hostility on the second reading, and no: concentrate it upon the details. Sir B. HALL and Lord D. STUART gave a qualified support to the measure, but only as an instalment, the latter considering, that it would not satisfy the desires of the people as an efficient reform. _ _ _ _ After some remarks from Mr. MAURICE O'CONNELL and Captain Illatnis, leave was given to bring in the Bill, and soon after the House adjourned. Parturiunt vn.antes, naseitur, &c. The quotation is hackneyed, but it so clearly expresses the value of the longdooked for measure of Reform, that we can not refrain from once more pressing it into our ser- Yes, the country has at length before it the strange conception which for thirty years had occu pied the teeming brain of Lord Jolts; RUSSELL. It is now to be decided whether the present milk-and-water proposition is worthy of the author of the Reform Bill —a fitting extension of the glorious principles then recognised by the Crown and the people of the United Kingdom. We cannot hesitate as to the verdict. There are, unquestionably, some good features about the Bill. The franchise will be in some degree ex - tended. The household qualification in boroughs is to be reduced from 101. to 51., and in counties persons with a qualification of 201. rated value will becom e entitled to the suffrage. The qualification derived from copyhold and long leases is also to be reduce d from 101. to 51. 7 and persons paying 40s. a year as - sessed taxes, if living outside the limits of boroughs, are to become entitled to the franchise for tb e counties. This is very good so far as it goes. It is a step in ' the right direction, an instalment, although a vez y small instalment of justice. Were it introduce d without any great flourish of trumpets, or bein g spoken of as a "New Reform Bill" which is to satin} y the reasonable expectations of the people, and to pro vide the 7fo u cr7 : , u on which the PREMIER can establis b his favourite principle of finality, we should be as posed to regard it favourably and to receive the cot i cession grateully. But under the circumstances of the case, looking to the pledges that have bee n given and the hopes excited, the matter assumes a very different aspect, and Lord JOHN RUSSELL is to he judged, not merely by what he has done, but still more so, by what he has left undone; not by the trifle that he bestows, but by the far greater boons which he withholds. A beggar in the street would receive a few pence with a profusion of thanks, while a person having s t rong and well-founded c l a i ms would either l oudly ex press his disv 4 3 ' pointment to the donor of as many'pours ds, or retire in silence from his presen So it is in the present instance. Much was anti ci pated ; and, in. place of being grateful for the tr. fie granted, and Coat with not the best grace, we f eel na t u rally indi grsant at the stinginess and pal ;Ed many with which the benefits are doled out, and ex press our feelings in the most uncquivo,:.al terms We shall now briefly allude to the other positive enactments which are contemplated. In addition to the alterations in the qualification, to which we have already alluded, two other Bills are to be introduced for Scotland and Ireland. There is to be no change in the franchise for Irish counties, but in cities and boroughs it is to be reduced from 81. to 51. It would scarcely do to require a higher pecuniary qualification in the country which has suffered so deeply, than that which will be necessary in this more favoured land. In Scotland the contemplated Bill relates to the restriction rather than the extension of the franchise. It is directed against " the fic titious votes," to which the President of the Board of Control referred so feelingly in his speech to the electors of Perth, requiring that in every in stance the title shall be completed by a regular " in fooftment." We have thus before us all the changes that are to be made with respect to the extension of the suffrage, and although it does something, we fear it will not be considered a sufficient payment n . al Parliamentary Reform Association can much doubt as t o w hi c h i s b es t su it e d o tnh n oet a c Nh c a o av u tei n o t to emergency, and calculated to satisfy the de mands who have hitherto been regarded as political the those cyphers. The abolished, propertyqualification for Members is to be Every statute relating thereto from that passed in the rei gn o f Q ueen A NNE t o th e pr ese nt day is to be repealed. Thi s i s a s it should be. It is the only portion of the Bill w hi c h we can re g ard with totallyunalloyed gratification. We can scarcely conceive that there can be any difference of opinion on that' especially when we consider that it was of no prac tical utility inasmuch as the required qualification could at any moment be purchased in the market. The tariff was perfectly ascertained, varying from 50/. to 1001., according to the nature of the case, and whether the party elected was to represent a borough or a county. The Jew fill, t oo , is brought forward under another form. The oaths are to be changed, the distinction between those taken by Catholics and Protestants are to be very properly re moved, and in the modifications the words "on the true faith of a Christian" are to be omitted. This is very right ; but we believe that it will be unnecessary, that it will be established on judicial authority, that the substance, and not the form, of the obligation is to be looked to ; and that there is at this moment no nractical difficulty but that which the doubts of a small majority created, and which must be speedily removed. If, then, the decision of the Court in " MILLER W. SALOMONS" be such as we anticipate, the change will be unnecessary so far as the Jews are concerned; if otherwise, it would be more becoming to bring the matter directly forward than to tack it as a rider on a Bill for " the extension of the franchise and improving the representation of the people." We are also to have the addition of neighbouring towns to those boroughs where there are not already 500 voters, a provision that will come into operation in no less than 67 cases. So much for what is to be legislated for. The series of omissions would, however, require greater space than we could this day spare. Suffice it to say, that there is no allusion to the ballot, or to the duration of Parliament ; no substitution of im portant towns for the nomination boroughs, or those which are notoriously subjected to corrupt in. fluences. A "Reform Bill !" in which these matters are disregarded appears something like a performance of Hamlet, the part of the young Prince being omitted. It is not by such a diluted measure that Lord JOHN RUSSELL is to retrieve his lost popularity, and to obtain a new lease of office. Government has somewhat wisely, we conceive, put a stop to the operations of the Board of Health, in reference to its scheme of organizing a system of extramural interment for the metropolis. But for this, we should very soon have become involved in a gigantic and most oppressive attempt at centraliza tion. Meanwhile the capital of England remains altogether unprovided for the adequate sepulture of its population. According to the provisions of the Interments Act, passed in August, 1850, burial within the precincts of the metropolis was, as is well known, prohibited thenceforth—but—no previous, or even simultaneous, arrangement was made to enable the citizens to inter their dead in extramural cemeteries sufficiently remote or sufficiently capacious. Those already existing are capable of containing only merely 18,000 annually, and the average mortality is some where about 58,000 ! With an increasing community, and the chances of another visitation from pestilence, the position of London in these respects has from the first been very manifestly perilous. When, more over, it was found, on investigation, that the Board of Health, having already 4 0,0001. advanced, proposed to apply 137,000/. additional for the purchase of merely two out of the nine existing cemeteries, 350,0001. more for the remaining seven, with 36,000/. for 800 acres at Erith, and 93,000/. for ren dering the ground available—making altogether the that the prospect was not simply dangerous but ab seoniourtmeioyus6s6,oool—it became manifest ofts character. Finding that the Cabinet refused to suppl— y them with the requisite desperate funds through the medium of Exchequer-bills, the members of the board thereupon proposed to carry out their enormous project by means of money raised on the understanding that they should be empowered to remunerate themselves by a poll tax levied upon all parties indiscriminately. Than this nothing could be more unconstitutionally interfering, and con sequently, if for that reason alone, we must necessarily have rejoiced at the tardy but at last peremptory interposing of the Government. Instead of the extravagant and centralizing project of the Board of Health, it was conceived—and surely not without ample justification—that the mortality of the metropolis might be provided for in the way of burial, more efficiently, more economically, with greater promptitude, an d with greater regard to the re quirements both of decency and religion, by means of popular associations, instead of by means of monopo lizing associations, built up under the centralizing influence of Government. The PRIME MINISTER felt convinced of this, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER felt convinced of it, and so also did every one acquainted with the statistics collected together in the course of recent sanitary investigations. Therefore we rejoice to think the operations of the Board of Health were brought abruptly, but by no means prematurely, to a close—Ministers refusing to comply with a scheme calculated to lead to such enormous and almost incalculable expenditure, and to effect at the same time such a very intolerable interference in the way of a gigantic monopoly con structed according to the principles of centralization. Edinburgh, without the aid of a board of health, contrives every year to bury its dead in extramural places of sepulture—why not also London and West minster ? It has been with feelings of no ordinary satisfaction that we have for some time past watched the development of a scheme which promises the solu tion of existing difficulties. Already we have referred more than once, and in terms of the warmest com mendation, to the plan sketched out by the pro moters of the London Necropolis and National Mausoleum Company. We have commented, and commented, moreover, at no inconsiderable length, on the advantages held out by this humane and magnificent enterprise. We have remarked upon the merits of its accessibility—being approach able by half-an -hour's ride on the South-Western Railway. We have pointed out likewise with peculiar satisfaction the magnitude of the locality selected for the proposed cemetery—extending over 2,000 acres of land at Woking-common, in the county of Surrey, the soil consisting of a dry yellow sand, the surface undulating in picturesque and appropriate variety, affording proper shelter to the bodies interred, and nourishing over the remains of mortality a pro" fusion of th e most beaut if u l kinds of vegetation. We are induced, more particularly at the present moment, to revert to this subject by our earnest and reiterated commendations, from the circumstance that its origi nators are about to develope their undertaking to its full extent during the course of the present session of Parliament. Let it be remembered that the arrange mentsin . of the c om p an y have no t been made with any degree of precipitation, having, on the contrary, been, to all appearance, mos t carefully and scrupulously deliberated. The ground has been already purchased, the two thousand acres having been bought for 57,0001. An additional sum of 93,0001. is estimated as all that is required to render the site suitable for interments. So that a total of 150,000/. will cover all expenses, instead of a gross aggregate of 656,0001, as projected to be paid by the Board of Health. It roust be borne is re collection, moreover, that in consequence of the economy of these arrangements on the part of the London Necropolis, it will be enabled to reduce very considerably the cost of each individual interment. Indeed it engages to diminish the average charges of sepulture by at least 25 per cent.—ealculating merely 15s. as sufficient to cover the exp-nse of each pauper funeral, and 255. that of every funeral for the doss immediately above destitution. Added to which the insatiable maw of the Church has, by the company in quesrion, been duly taken into con sideration—the usual fees of the clergy being provided for by a fund set aside for that purpose exclusively. Everything, in fine, appears to have been pre arranged: the funds are ready : the regulations are organized : the site is purchased—economy is ensured —nothing, in short, is now required for the immediate carrying out of the enterprise but the recog nition of its claims by the Legislature, and the final approval of its plan by the Government. With this record in its regard, we would here close our observations on the National Mausoleum — to demonstrate that it alone would be adequate to encounter the difficulties of the emergency, it is only needful to remark tha', esti mating the average amount of interments within the metropolis at 50,000, there would be required for the filling up of the projected cemetery at Woking, with only one layer of bodie., no less a number of years than—four hundred! QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAV.) (Sittings in Banco.) QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF THE MARQUIS OF BRISTOL V. TME TITHE COMMISSIONERS. Lord CAMPBELL intimated that the Court would relieve counsel for the Commissioners from arguing this case. The judgment of the Court would be given hereafter. CAMROUX V. SMITH. Lord CAMPBELL said the Court had great difficulty in treating the question involved in this case as a pure matter of law. They would, therefore, direct a new trial, in order that the jury might determine whether the bankrupt was di-qualified for carrying on his trade.—Rule absolute for a new trial. QUEEN ON THE PROSECUTION OF THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY V. TILLY !MST. Lora CAMPBELL sai i this case was argued in June last, and soon afterwards the Court stated the extreme difficulty which they felt in satisfactorily applying the provisions of the Parochial Assessment Act to the solution of the questio❑ presented for their decision, and expressed their conviction that the point in dispute required the interposition of the Legislature rather than the judgment of a Court at West minster. Parliament, however, had not thought right at present to deal with the question, and it became the duty of the Court, therefore, no longer to delay in giving their judgment, which the parties had a right to demand. The question had reference to the rating of 2i miles of the Berks and Rants Railway, which passed through the respondent's parish. This railway was at one time an independent line of 25 miles in length, but had since become a branch of the Great Western Railway. In order to arrive at the rateable value of these 2 1 / 2 miles so as to make a proper assessment the respondents treated the branch as an independent whole, unconnected with the main line, taking the average annual receipts upon it, and then deducting the expenses. The separation of the branch from the trunk line made a substantial difference to the company, because in one case the assessment would amount to 251., and in the other 30/. per mile. Now the Court thought the fusion of the two lines was complete, the branch being abzorbed into the trunk, and if the respondents had taken the gross receipts per mile upon the whole, deducting the expenses, they would have acted upon the true principle. The Court could, therefore, not adopt he proposition of the respondents. The conse quence would be that the award must be referred back to the arbitrators, to whom the parties were much indebted for the labour and ability they had bestowed upon the case. The Court trusted that the principles they had laid down would enable the parties to agree satisfactorily, and prevent further litigation on the subject. REGINA v. MICHAEL GREEN, AND ANOTHER, V. OVERSEERS OF GATESHEAD. The Court discharged the rule which had been obtained in this cause. __ DISMISSAL OF MR. RAMSHAY. QUEEN v. POLLOCK (EXPARTR RAMSLIAY.) Lord CAMPBELL said, this was a motion fur a rue to show cause why an information in the nature of a quo warrant() should not be filed against Mr. Pollock, calling upon him to show by what authority he exercised the office of Judge of the Liverpool County Court. The ground of the applica tion was, that when he was appointed to the office it was not vacant, Mr. Ramshay, who formerly filled it, net having been properly removed. The qoestion for the Court was, whether, on the affidavits laid before them, M. Ramshay was entitled to question the legality of his removal by means of a quo warrant° against his successor. This depended upon the true construction of the 9th and 10th Vic., c. 93, 8. 18, which enacted that it should be lawful for the Lord Chancellor. if in the district of the Duchy of Lancaster, for the Chancellor of that Duchy, to remore for inability, or misbehaviour, any judge already or hereafter to, be appointed. By a formal instru ment under the hand of the Earl of Carlisle, who was the Chancellor of the Duchy, Mr. Ramshay was dismissed from his office for inability and misbehaviour. The Court thought this instrument was not asolutely conclusive, and that the Chancellor exercised his authority in dismissing a judge, sub ject to the control of this Court, as laid down in the case of the Queen v. Warren, but they could not insist on this docu ment setting out all the proceedings which were instituted previous to removal. The Chancellor duly exercised his ju risdiction until the contrary w as proved. It was open to Mr. Ramshay to show that he was removed without receiving notice of the charges against him, or without an opportunity of being heard in defence, or that he was dismissed on insufficient evidence; and in such a case the Court was bound to grant a rule with the view of his being restored to an office from which he had been illegally and improperly removed. But no statements of that kind had been made, and the Court must assume that the Chancellor had not acte on insufficient evi dence, or exceeded his authority. The affidavits seemed to lead to the assumption that the removal was regular and justified, and that Mr. Ramshay had shown misconduct, as well as ina bility, in the discharge of his important duties. It was possible for a man to possess many excellent and amiable qualities in private life, and yet to be proved of misconduct and inability in the office of a judge. The Court considered a rule ought not to be granted.—Application refused. BOW-S'IREET,--(THIS DAY.) M r . Charles Nash, solicitor, formerly manager to the soli citors of the Great Western Railway Company, was brought up before Mr. Jardine, on remand, charged with forging the signature of Mr. Peter Hanystocke, of Wicklow, Ireland, farmer, to a transfer of 196 s h ares i n the Dublin and Wicklow Railway Company, and further, with feloniously transferring ten shares in the same company, the property of Mr. Michael Kenny,of Dublin, builder. The main evidence for the prosecution having been already heard, this day there was only the evi dence of Hanvstocke's father, who proved that he saw his son on the ltith May last (as deposed) sign a paper connected with his railway shares, at the request of Mr. Nash, to whom he handed the paper so signed. The witness knew nothing of the nature of the paper. The shares had been transferred to his son by Capt. Owen, the agent of Lord Courtown, who is this witness's landlord, for a farm of forty-nine acres. There was nothing whatever paid by his son for the shares. Calls had been paid on them by Captain Owen, and another call was now made. Mr. Peter Kelly admitted the signature shown him, but said, when he signed, he thought it was a proxy paper. Mr. Keane, barrister, for the prisoner, insisted that the witnesses knew what they were signing, and alleged that the prosecution was got up by the directors, with whom Mr. Nash, who was a large shareholder, had been long in litiga tion. The shares were of no value, and the parties wished to get rid of thena.—Fully committed. GREENWICH ELECTION. (THIS DAY.), A little before eight o'clock this morning a vast concourse of people, chiefly of the lower order, assembled at the hust ings at the corner of London -street, in High-street, Green wich, to witness the election of a Member or Parliament to represent that borough. The nomination of two candidates (Mr. Montaga Chambers, Q.C., and Admiral Houston Stewart) took place yesterday, and has already been re poqed. The polling commenced at eight o'clock, and the hourly number of votes from Woolwich was tele graphed to ;the committee, which sat at the White Hart Tavern, Greenwich. Admiral Stewart was the favourite; his amount of votes far exceeding that of his opponent, as will be seen from the following figures : The state of the poll at— urn o'CLocK.

CITY, TIVO O'er, ('K 'the sales of Cotton at Liverpool, yesterday, amounted to 6,000 or 7,000 bales, of which 1,000 Surat were taken for exportation. The market closed heavily, and prices, though not lower, were still in favour of the buyer. The sales in eluded '2OO bales Pernam and Maranham, at 5%d. to 64d., 100 13.thia, at 5 5, 0 to 5 3 / 4 d., 150 Egyptian, at 6d. to 9d., 1,500 Surat, at 39,id. to 40., 100 Sea Island, and the re maw& r American.—ln Railway Shares, a fair amount of business was done, and prices were looking up. The following is a comparative statement of duties col lected at Hamilton (Canada), during the last two years: — Year ending sth Jan., 1851 ... 59,0001. 1852 74,0001. The Continental letters this morning are not of importance generally, but great satisfaction is expressed at the recovery of the Queen of Spain, some anxiety being expressed by par ties who wrote from Madrid and Paris prior to the date of the telegraphic dispatches. The English Funds are very firm, but there is scarcely anything doing. Consols have improved to 96% 3/4, at which they stand well. There is no difficulty in settling the account, nor is any " continuation" generally charged. The New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 98% to 3 / 4 , and the Three per Cents., 97% to %. Bank Stock is worth 217, and India Stock 258, both yesterday's values. Exchequer-bills have been quiet, at 61s. to 645., and India Bonds at 745. The next account day is March 11. It will be seen that the reform project of Lord John Russell has bad no effect upon stocks and induced no speculation. Foreign Stocks have been dealt in to the average extent. Grenada Deferred have been 6% to X. It appears that the Atrato route is not that upon which the speculators are going, but a tract starting from somewhere about New Edinburgh, and discovered by an enterprising party now in England. No concession seems to have been obtained from the New Grenada Government, but a condition stamped on the face of the Bonds is that they are to be receivable in payment for public lands and for duties. Mexican keep 11 P to 32 3 / 4 and 33. Mr. Falconnet, in his letter to the commit tee, says, that if the appropriation of Customs duties is no t sufficient he is to have 280,000 dollars from the portion of the indemnity due to Mexico next May, beyond the 2,000,000 coming to the bondholders. This gentleman then remarks : " For the purpose above named I have been provided with orders on the various Custom-houses of the Republic to re ceive all the monies due for that portion of the duties appro priated to the foreign debt of Mexico. The steamer brings on account, to the consignment of Messrs. Baring, Brothers, a sum of 50,000 dollars shipped in Vera Cruz and Tampico, by the agents named by me in those ports. ' From the information and data I have received from the ports and the Junta ce Credito Publico, there is every reason to believe, and for my part I have no doubt of it, that the amount of duties pending of recovery is more than sufficient to cover the sum necessary for the payment of the dividend , However, to provide against any deficiency, the Government of Mexico has delivered to me an assignment for 280,00 0 dollars oti the American Indemnity Money, payable in May next, to be returned to the Mexican Treasury in the case only that the full amount of the advance to be made on its, value should have been shipped from the different ports et the Republic before it becomes due." Equador Bonds are steady at 4. Mr. Mocatta, it is said, will be sent out as a Commissioner. Brazilian Small Stock is at 95. Spanish Bonds keep firm at 23 to % for the Five per Cents., and have touched 18% for the Three per Cent& Sardinian have been 88 and since 87 3 /4. The English Railway Shares are not so active, and price , have given way slightly. The Foreign lines keep up. Gold Mine Shares are very quiet and nominally firm. .-tu" Gold Quartz Company of Lord Erskine has obtained as agreement fer a lease of twenty-one years, beyoad the twenty-one years already allowed, if the company des ire such extension.
