This is an admirable little pamphlet, spirited in its style, clenching in its facts, and powerful and convincing in its argu ments. It ought to be in the hands of every one who would know the true state of the question between the people and their State Church. The subject matter contains all—whether Churchman or Dissenters. All who believe in Christianity epecially ought to inform themselves sufficiently as to the right manner in which religion ought to Le supported. The author of the pamphlet now before us proves Dissent from the State Church to be founded on sound principles, and justifiable by Scripture as well as reason—urging with great powers of lan guage the right of every man to worship God in the way he thinks best.—Leeds Times.

I.—ESCAPE OF A Cox vier.—About half-past six o'clock on the morning of Tuesday last, one of the convicts belonging to the Warrior convict ship, moored off the Dockyard, Woolwich, made his escape, and although every exertion has since been made to recapture him, he has eluded the vigi lance of the police. t appears he was employed as cook to the guard, and availed himself of the opportunity afforded by being able to dress himself in a cap and pilot-coat left within his reach, and passed the sentry on duty without being detected. He then managed to get over the wall of the dockyard by ascending the roof of the boat-house, and as it was raining at the time, un perceived loy the sentry stationed outside. Every thing seemed to favour the escape of the convict, as there were two sovereigns in the pockets of the coat ho carried with him. A reward has been offered for his apprehension. The Zoological Society commenced on Monday the removal of their very extensive stock from the Mu seum in Leicester-square, to a temporary warehouse en. gaged for their reception in Broad-street, Golden-square. They will not be placed for inspection, and nothing has yet been arranged as to how, or under what circum stances it will be re-opened to the public. Considerable interest is excited amongst the members on the subject, as the Society is considered to be in possession of mate rials for forming the finest Zoological collection in the world. A proposal has been made to the Council to attach it to the British Museum, but this, if entertained, must be brought before a general meeting of the Fellow. for approval, who arc likely to reject it by a large majority.

He al,o wished to call the attention of the House to an address —which had been agreed to as long ago as the 23 1 of February last.

He wished to have the opinion of the Speaker, as to whe ther he was now entitled to move that the return Irons Ireland be made forthwith ? The SPEAKER said that the proper course was for the Hun. Member to make the motion for the returns, and then if the returns were not made it would be cons pctent for the Hon. Member to move that the return should be made forthwith. Mr. O'CONNELL said that such beirg the opinicn of the Chair, he would then make the motion. REFORM.- Mr. HUNIE said that he would in the fi st week in March move an amendment to the Reform Bill, to the cffoct of giving votes to lodgers.

ANNUAL DIVISION OF PROFITS. UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE SO CIETY, 1, King William-street, London. . - Established 15.34. Empowered by Act of Parliament. One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding years is divided beto - een the policy-holders and shareholders ; three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen contingencies. The first division of Profits took place on the 13th of May, 1640, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the annual premiums of all those policies cotitledlo participation.

The Earl ot" SI - 12.FTESBURY then rose and mos ed, that the .Ear/ of Cardigan should be called to the bar, which bein t T a, ;reed to, the Earl of Cardigan appeared at the bar the custody of the Usher of the Black Rod. The LORD CHANCELLOR then said, if your Lordship has anything to address to the House the pre sent is a fitting oppm-tuoity so to do. If not, Usher of the Black Rod, take the Earl of Cardigan from the bar. The Earl of Card; gan not making any answer, retired in custody. The Earl of S.l-I AFTESBURY—We shall wan your Lordship again pesently. His LORDSHIP then' _moved that a writ of ceitiorar should issue to remove: the case from the Central Cri mina] Court.—Agreed to.

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, that he considered the services of Mr. Rickman, for more than twenty-six years, to have been highly useful to th e H ouse and the country ; and he gave notice that he would to-morrow (Wednesday) night move a resolution, in reference to the correspondence alluded to by the Speaker. NOTICES OF MOTION.--DANISH CLAIMS, Mr. CRESSWELL gave no'ice that on the 16th of February he should move that the House do on the 23d of February resolve itself into a Committee of the whole House, for the purpose of con sidering the propriety of presenting a humble address to her Majesty, praying that she would be graciously pleased to take into her consideration the Report, dated the 12th of May, 1840, of the MARINE FORCES.

On the motion of Mr. G REENE the Select Committee on Petitions for Private Bills was named : and on the motion of Mr. HUME the Seledt Committee on Printing was appointed. In answer to a question from Mr..SHAW, Lord MORPETH said that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had stated pretty correctly that the amount of the arrears of tithes owing to the clergy in Ireland, which had been distributed, avas very small, amounting to no more than 6s. 101 in the pound. With r:spect to the sums due on the same account from the landlords, he had to state that a considerable part had been got in, and was ready for almost immediate distribution, and he could assure the lion. and Learned Gentleman, and the House, that his lion. and Learned Friend was taking the most co gent and stringent steps to recover the remainder. REPEAL, ASSOCIATION. Captain POLHILL said, in rising to renew the question which he put to the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies on Friday last, the answer to which was so unsatisfactory that he had th en e ;o..r. or ;„,,,,,,tuti to renew the question. —(Cries of " Order, order, Chair, chair.") The SPEAKER said the Hon. Member might put his question, but he must not make any observations in doing so, as that might give rise to a debate. Captain POLHILL felt greatly obliged to the Speaker. He was p er f ec tly i n or d er " when he was giv ing the reasons why he thought the answer of the Noble Lord unsatisfactory. He was not bound to enter into any discussion of the question : he would merely repeat the question, in the hopes that he and the House would receive a more satisfactory answer than on the fornier occasion. He would then ask the Noble Lord " Whether her Majesty's Government is aware of a letter addressed to T. M. Ray, Esq., dated Bucking- ham Palace, January 20th, 1841, 'and signed G. E. Anson, conveying the sincere thanks: of Prince Albert to the Loyal National Repeal Association of Ireland,' for their address to his Royal Highness upon the birth of a Princess r Lord JOHN RUSSELL immediately rose and said—Since the Hon. Gentleman put the question to me on a former occasion, I have seen the letter to which he refers in the newspapers, but I hare not thought it necessary to make any inquiry on the subject.—(Loud cheers and laughter.) SYRIA. Mr. HUME wished to ask the Noble Lord the Se cretary for the Colonies whether, by the despatches that had lately been received by the Government from the Levant, they had learnt that the treaty of Captain Napier or Admiral Stopford had been carried into effect, and whether Syria had been evacuated, and the authority of the Porte established in that province ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied that all the infor mation he could give the Hon. Gentleman was to this effect. The con% ention signed by commodore Napier was without the authority of the Ambassador, and was not approved of by Sir Robert Stopford, and the submission Mehemet Ali had made in consequence of the instructions given by Admi ral Stopford, had been accepted by the Sultan. The Sultan had in consequence given instructions to Commissioners to proceed to Alexandria, ar d had instructed that Commission to inform Mehemet Ali that he would give to him the hereditary Pachalic of Egypt. With regard to the evacuation of Syria, arrangements were making by which Ibrahim and the troops under his command would eva cuate Syria and return to Egypt without molestation. That operation had not yet of course been effected, but arrangements were being made for the purpose of carry ing it into effect. Mehemet Ali had given proofs of his readiness to fulfil the arrangement by giving up the fleet which belonged to the Sultan. The fleet was fitted out, and it was expected that it would soon be ready to proceed to its destination.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME wished also to ask whether or not that arrangement had been effected by the Sultan in cor se quence of advice given to him by the Four Powers? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the resolution come to by the Sultan was certainly in consequence of the advice given him by the Four Powers.—(Hear, hear.") CANADA. Sir R. PEEL wished to ask the Noble Lord whe ther he had lately received any despatches from the Go vernor of Canada, and whether it was his intention to present them to the House ? Lord J. RUSSELL * ****** thought no despatches had been received since the last that were presented to Parliament, but he was not prepared to give any ,ve answer. Sir R. PEEL then inquired whether any day had been fixed for giving effect to the Act of Union ? Lord JOHN RUSSELL replied that it had been the intention of the Governor-General to proclaim the union at the end of January or the beginning of the present month. But (as we understood the Noble Lord, who spoke in a very subdued tone) it would be necessary, very shortly, to assemble the Legislature of Upper Canada, and if the Union was not by that time proclaimed, it was the intention of the Governor-Ge neral to propose a Special Council to consider what time the proclamation should issue. BETTER ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL moved for leave to bring in a Bill for facilitating the Administration of Justice. He said he should occupy but a small portion of the time of the How?, because the measure had already been before it, and he believed would not meet with any serious opposition. The measure which he now proposed to bring .in related merely to that im portant branch of jurisdiction, the EqUity Courts ; was very important that the causes which came before those Courts should be decided with all possible celerity ; or that there could be no debate ; but great and lamentable delays had arisen in the administration of that branch of jurisprudence, not withstanding the high character of the Judges who had presided in those Courts, and their unwearied endeavours to afford relief. He believed the great cause of delay , had been the increase of business which was as signed to them; From the increased popu lation of the country, and from its still more increased wealth, and the enormous property which came under the administration of those Courts, it was utterly impossible that justice could be done to suitors under the present system. The property to be administered was now inoreaeod top rest extent. The introduction PRICE sd. of railways and the Acts relating to them had very greatly added to the business which tvas brought before those Courts. The consequence had been that numerous complaints had been made of the slew administration of justice. The arrear of busi ness was very great. He belived there were at that time between 12 and 1300 causes in the Court of Chancery. Between the time when a cause was set down for hearing, and the time when it came on to be heard, a period elapsed cf not less than three years, and, upon an average, it was five years from the time when a suit was instituted, before it was finally decided. When it had once been disposed of, it came on again on further directions, and that would happen repeatedly before the Court came to its final decision. The expenses arising from delays in suits frequently amounted to forty thousand pounds. It often hap pened, too, that the solicitors were great sufferers, in consequence of the large sums which they were obiged to advance before the causes in which they might be engaged were ended. Such evils being thus in exist ence, what was to be done ? It was quite clear that some alteration must be made in the administration of the law.—( Hear, hear.) If they first looked to the Court of Exchequer, they would find that to be a tribunal both for the administration of law and equity. There were two divisions of the Court, one for common law, the other for equity—one of the many disadvantages arising from that arrangement was that the Judge before whom equity causes wore heard was generally obliged to go on circuit from July to Novem ber, and if any injunction was granted by that Judge a delay necessarily arose from his absence. Another great evil was that there was no appeal from that Court but to the House of Lords. Some remedy must be found for those evils. They must either abolish the equity jurisdiction of the Court of Exchequer, or if they should (continuo it, the only mode he (the Attorney-General) could see of their so doing was by appointing another Judge who would devote himself entirely to the cqu:ty business of the Court, and from whom there should be an appeal to the Lord High Chancellor. It did, however, appear to him (the Attorney-General) better to abolish the equity juris diction of the Court of Exchequer, and allow it to be en tirely a Court of Common Law. That was the universal feeling entertained on the subject. The first object of the Bill he (the Attorney-General) proposed was to abolish the equity jurisdiction of the Court of Exchequer. The next question was, what add:tion would be made to the judicial power of that Court ; because, if they abolished the equity jurisdiction they should make some substitute. In 1828, when Lord Lyndhurst was Chancellor, a Bill was brought down frcm the other House for appointing a new Vice-Chancellor. That Bill did not pass into a law. The question now was what should be the amount of judicial strength in the Court of Chancery. It was proposed by the present Bill that there should be two VIM Judges, but that number was not to be continued without again consulting Parlia ment. His (the Attorney-General's) own opinio❑ was, that the number of Judges i❑ the Court of Chancery ought to be increased, as by that means a great influx of the business would take place. The House would probably be suprised when he stated that for debts under 1001. no person thought of going into equity. It was therefore clear that with respect to sums under that amoun►t there wes a total denial of justice. Here there was no remedy in a Court of Law, but under the Bill passed at the close of the last session there could be no doubt that great improvements would be effected is the Master's office, and also in the administra tion of Justice in the Court of Chancery He trusted, therefore, that the House would offer no opposition to the introduction of the Bill. All that lie (the Attorney-General) was afraid of was that he should be blamed for not going far enough. His Right Honourable Friend the Member for Ripen had given notice of a Bill to improve the jurisdiction of the House of Lords and that of the Privy Council. He (the Attorney General) admitted the neeee sity for such a measure, for he thought that the Bill he was then asking for leave to introduce should be kept to itself. He thought that the proper course would be to appoint a permanent Judge of the Court of Chancery, and that the Lord Chancellor should hear appeals in the House of Lords. A Bill for that purpose had been introduced last se.,;on. That Bill had not met wi.ll the appeoher;era of the House of 1 .nrila UrOUght, in a Bill, intim, he hoped would prove a large instalment of legal reform. One of its objects was to abolish the equity juris diction of the Exchequer, and to dispatch the equity business in a manner that would be satis factory to the country. There were necessarily involved in such a manner, a great number of details which could only he discussed in Committee. But he was happy to say, that neither retiring allowances nor compensation for salaries would form part of these details ; as there were already funds in the Court of Equity, Exchequer, and the Court of Chancery, which were quite adequate to meet the ex penses of the Bill, which he now begged leave to bring in, for the better regulation of the administration of justice. Sir E. SUGDEN said that it was now the time for him to state his opinions upon the pre sent state of the Courts of Equity. He had sup ported a measure for the alteration of the jurisdiction of the Courts of Equity, but that measure was postponed by the Noble Lord opposite (we believe Lord J. Rus sell), on account of the late period of the Session. It was now proposed that two new Judges in Equity be appointed. Each of the proposed new Judges must have a separate Court, with a separate Bar, and thus in fact it was the establishment of two new courts which was proposed. He thought the House would agree with him, that if there could be a greater evil than the want of sufficient judicial power to meet the judicial exigencies of the country it must he the having more Courts than the exigencies of the country required—there could not be a greater evil than the useless multiplication of Courts. He knew that it was proposed that one of the Judges only be a temporary Judge, and that at an uncertain period, namely, at his death, the Court should no longer be an effective Court. Had the Hon. and Learned Gentleman le fleeted on the inconvenience that must necessarily ensue from a great Court of Justice being suddenly extinguished? The creation of a new Court would at the same time create a body of lawyers attend ing that Court; the supply would be equal to the demand created, and he put it to the House what must be the effect of the sudden extinction of such a Court. He was ready to go to the full extent of granting all the judicial power that might be wanted, if that want were proved, whatever might be the inconvenience attending it ; but ho felt so strongly the evils arising from the establishments of more Courts than were wanting that he should expect a strong case to be made out for the establishment of two more Courts. His Learned Friend had not entered much into detail in stating the case to the House, but the returns for which he (Sir E. Sugden) had moved, which he himself had seen, and which would be in the hands of Hon. Members in the course of a few days, would show that his Honourable and Learned Friend was entirely mis- 1 taken in the statement he had made, with regard to the state of the arrears in these Courts, His Honourable and Learned Friend had stated that there were from 1,200 to 1,800 cases in arrear in the Court of Chancery. Now his Hon. and Learned Friend had in his statement more than doubled the ac tual amount—the number of cases in arrear did net amount to one-half that number. Again, his Hottearable and Learned Friend had stated that no cause could he heard until three years after it had been set down. Now, the fact was, as regarded one of those Courts, that the Master of the Rolls was now engaged in hearing causes in their regular course, not one of which had been set down prior to Easter term, 18-10. He entirely acquitted his Hon. and Learned Friend of any intention of misleading the House, but he had certainly entirely mistaken the case. Ile would not deny that great and unavoidable delays had taken place in the Court of Chancery, and, seeing how all the great offices of that Court were filled, he would admit that it was hopeless ever to expect to see Judges more capable of filling their high stations than those learned persons who presided over these Courts. It was impossible men could do more by a total devotion of all their time to the execution of the duties of th e ir office than those learned persons did— (Cheers.) And he felt assured that what they hed not been able to do, no othar persons would be able to accomplish. His Hon. and Learned Friend had reminded the House, that in 1829 ho had proposed in that House what was commonly called Lord Lynd hurst's Bill, for the appointment of one if now f that aew in Chancery, and he would say ththataew Judge had been then granted with the sa me good will with which he was now disposed to grant it, the delays complained of would not now have existed,-..... (Hear, hear.) The Honourable) and Learned Gen tlemen had also said, that the Court of Review had not answered the expectations which had been enter tained of it, and that it was proposed that it should be abolished. Now when the establishment of that Court had been first proposed, th ey h ad talked for hours against. it on his side of th e H ouse without avail.—(Opposition cheers.) Ho hi mself had shown the utter impossibility of there ever being business sufficient to occupy the time of that Court and, notwithstanding all, a new Court had been established with four new Judges, in the face of every argument. What had been the consequence? Why, that Court bad sunk lower and lower io his esteem, until at length it was acknowledged to be of no use whatever, and had gone far to bring the administ a tion of justice into contempt, at least as a_s ar as the establishment of a useless Court could do so. He t' tutted he had stated suffic'eat to !thew the ex treme danger arising from till creation of useless Courts. As in 1829 and 1830 so he still thought that it was ab solutely necessary that one additional Judge should be appointed. If his Hon. Friends on the other side of the House could show him and the House, by figures, that two Judges in addition were necessary, he should cheerfully acquiesce in it. He was anxious that the Court might be placed in a situation to answer the exigences of the case.---(Hear.) It had been said that a great many compromises had been made, and that when there was additional accommoda tion there would be fewer compromises, and a great many more cases to hear.--(Hear, hear.) No thing surprised him more than the statement of the great number of compromises that had taken place in the Court of Chancery. It was a great mistake to suppose that one-tenth part of what had been stated in evidence was the real amount. These parties generally took the number of bills filed, then they reckoned the number set down for hear ing, and finding that perhaps thirteen cases have slipped out, they say all these had been compromised. After the cases are set down for hearing, another number slips out, and here they say is another compromise. Now there was not the slightest foundation fcr that statement. He (Sir E. Sugden) knew something of the practice of the Court of Chancery, and ho could assert that nothing was more rare titan compromising. The case might not be a promising one, and when the Bill was filed it was met by a demurrer or plea which formed a complete answer to it, and consequently it went for nothing. Another class of cases was injunctions, and when the motion was once made, whether it was successful or not, there was nothing more heard of it. There was another great class with which the parties having made up their minds to go to law were anxious to ob tain the sanction of a person of character. A per son was determined to go to law. He was told by Counsel that he had no case. The case you have stated, he was told, affords no equity ; you will be beaten ; I cannot advise you to file a bill. What did he say ? " Why, Sir, that is all very true, but I tell you that my opponent has certain papers in his possession ; he has made admissions to the effect that.. ho has them ; those papers will prove my equity, and, therefore, if I file my bill when this man is put upon his oath, he will prove my case." Counsel told such a man not to be deluded, not to file a bill, for that when the answer would come in it would destroy every tittle of his equity. If they took what he had stated into consideration, it would account for a great number of cases that never came to a hearing. His impression, therefore, was, that they could not, by making any great addition to the number of Judges facilitate the adjudication of causes. From some returns for which he had moved, it appeared that the Lord Chancellor, in the sittings of 1839, and ending in 1840, had heard 79 original causes, and 22 excptions ; so that the Lord Chancellor had heard 101 original motions as a Judge of orginal juris diction. He had heard during that time 130 appeals. As that seemed to be a very large number he would explain to the House that the average number of appeals, ori ginal causes, and exceptions, was from twenty eight to thirty, and the large number that he had stated was made up of motions and petitions. Great misapprehension had gone abroad with respect to short causes. Many parsons supposed that they were not adverse causes ; now that was not the fact, for sometimes it happened that some of the most im portant points of law were decided upon short causes, without that consideration which a Judge was hound to; pay to such questionF. A great portion of the arrears in the Court of Chancery bad been cleared off, and since the long vacation up to the end of Hilary the Lord Chancellor had heard JOG original causes, 19 further directions, and 22 appeals ; the Vice-Chancellor had heard 70 original causes, 17 fui they directions, and had been occupied twenty-eight days upon motions, and nearly the whole of the last term the Vice-Chancellor had been occupied upon motions and petitions. The Master of the Rolls had heard in the some time twenty-four original causes, fifteen further directions, and forty-seven short causes. At present he was happy to say there were very few judgments, indeed ho might say there was no arrear of judgments, and all the appeals before the Lord Chancellor had been heard, with the exception of six. There was an actual arrear in the Rolls' Court of somewhere atoat 100 causes, and these 100 causes could no doUbt be heard in the time dedicated to them. They would all be cleared off in the course of the Term. He anticipated that there would be no arrear whatever in the causes to be heard in the Roils' Court in Easter Term. In the Vice- Cnancelior's Court the original causes to be disposed of were three hundred and four, to which there was an addition of ninety-five, making altoothes - regarded the e n ti re n ne t " f they amounted way to use nunared an fifty, instead of thirteen or foul teen hundred, as had been represented. By the es tablishment of a new Court they would be enabled in the course of the judicial year, to clear cff every portion of the existing arrcar. They had at present the Vice- Chancellor's Court, the Master of the 11;;Ils' Court, and the Lord Chancellor's Court, with powers to bear original causes and matter. He had, therefore, cer tainly with great deference to others, but with some knowledge upon the subject, formed a very strong opi nion that one Judge would meet the exigency of the case, and that the arrears would speedily be disposed of. The Vice-Chancellor had told him that there', was no arrear of motions, and that there was no arrear of petitions—all the motions had been heard and 'all the petitions had been heard. Besides the railway petii t ions, which Lad occupied a great deal of time, were now dropping off, so that the Courts were being cleared of these obstacles, which impeded the regular business. There was mother class of cases that had occupied more time than the country or the House was aware of—he meant the questions that had arisen relative to Munici pal Corporations and Charity Trustees, in consequence of a measure that had passed that House. His Hon. and Learned Friend's proposition, with his data, might be a very reasonable one, because ha said there were 1.200 or 1,300 original causes, and that three years elapsed before any cause could be heard from the time it was set down. Now he had shown that causes had been heard which were set down in Easter Term last year. Toe business of the Courts was not half that whichit was. He would advise the House to pause before they esta blished two new Courts at once—he would say, proceed by slow degre.s, even although they might be necessary. There might be such a thing as creating causes. He be lieved it was Dean Swift who once said to hiscook, "Take away that beef and do it a little less—it is too much done." Of course she answered that she was not able. " Then," said he, " should not. that teach you to do the meat a little less at first, because you could do it a little more." Now, might not that, however homely, be applied to the subject of these Courts. Let them establish one Court, and if that did not do, if it were proved that another Judge was necessary, then let them establish another. That was the opinion he entertained, and on a subsequent stage of the Bill he would take the liberty of moving that only one Court be established, unless, indeed, he was convinced that the proposition of the Government was a necessary one. His mind was fully open to conviction, but, as at present advised, lie would propose the amendment of which he had given notice. He would now offer a few observations upon the con stitution of the new Court. When the present Vice- Chancery Court was appointed, the Judge obtained a rank after the Chief Justice with a salary of 6,0001. a-year. The object was that, having a vast amount of business to transact, and being appointed to represent the Chancellor and perform his functions, it was thought necessary to give him high station and sufficient re muneration. Any one who knew what the labours of the Vice-Chancellor were would say that it was im possible to give him too high a remuneration, and he trusted that the Noble Lord, who he under stood intended to reduce the salary to .5,0001. after the decease of the present holder of the offic e, think better of it. It was an office that n o o ne who would knew what its immense labours were, would covet. The Vice-Chancellor was obliged to rise hours before the sittings commenced, to read over the great mass of papers which were laid before him, and his labours could not therefore be estima ted b y the mere duration equity lawye r , an d of the sittin g s. In like man ner he trust ed the Noble Lord would not lower the salar y of the new Judge, whheo object must would ly and efficientlyd ischarged. i t eq i u s uties wer e not i c a o t m ta pte in e ed n f h proper It was p ro p ose d rho be a i )er n fe o c t t b ly o to make two new Judges dependent upon the Lord Chancellor. Although he did not agree to that, be wished it to be remembered that when he was in office h o proposed a measure which would have trot public convenience, very much in the way now proposed. Ho did not think it would be • right to displace the rank of the Vice-Chancellor, or to lower the salaries. They had by a former 13111 given the Lord Chancellor the power of correcting abuses in his Court, and had armed him with a degree of authority which he (Sir E. Sugden) did not wish to see placed in the bands of any man. He thought, however, that a most important improvement on the system would be to remodel the offices of Masters, which required reformation as much as the Courts themselves. He thought that wi.hout provisions to that effect any measure ti.ould be imper fect, and he hoped to see those officers responsible to the public in point of fact, and not merely in theory, as at present. He had heard many propositions about the Master's offices, some of which be could not approve of. He thought the lower offices must be improved, and that the higher Courts must be improved also. Nothing was the subject of greater complaints than the composition of our Courts of Appeal, but if the law was now open to objection, how much greater would be the objection, when they were going to create two new Courts of Appeal ? The composition of the House of Lords as a Court of Appeal was a great anomaly. It owed its establishment to a train of unforeseen circum stances ; its jurisdiction was denied in late times by that House, in the strongest terms, and to the extent of committing persons who sought its protection ; and though it was ultimately established, they were content to leave their Authority-in the state they found it.
