From the repeated notices of this important subject, which have appeared in the Daily Papers, the Profession appear to have been at length roused from that apathy to which they are mainly indebted for the inconveniences which they at present suffer. It is in tended to show the Legislature, from official documents now in preparation, that if the unclaimed bodies of per sons dying in our hospitals and other eleemosynary esta blishments could be made available for this purpose, the supply would be fully equal to the requirements of the medical classes, without offering violence to the feelings of any. DARING BURGLARY,—On Saturday night, between ten and eleven o'clock, the dwelling-house of Messrs. Hottostrox, millers, adjoining the Old Dock Mill, at Flathouses, in this neighbourhood, was entered by a man disguised, and armed with a pistol, an iron bar, and a knife stuck in the breast of his coat. The female servant, who was in the kitchen, thinking the front door was open, examined it, and on finding it so, and attempting to close it, she found she was obstructed by some person on the outside. Much alarmed, she ran sere lining into the par lour, in which were Messrs. Houoirroe,theit sister, a male friend, and the housekeeper, followed by a villain, whose face, save as far as the eyes, was concealed. The fellow, immediately presenting the pistol in his left hand, and the iron har in the right, called upon them to stand back, and to give up to him 201. Mr. W. MARvIN, the friend of Messrs. Houottrost alluded to, having seized the poker, the ruffian swore if he did not relinquish it immediately, and the whole of them give up what money they had, he would murder them. The money about their persons was then yielded up. He then ordered the whole of them up s t a irs, with which, nncleitheir state of alarm, they com plied. The robber afterwards proceeded to ransack the premise., below, but being unsuccessful in his attempt to open some of the drawers, which were locked, threatened, if the toaster of the house did not come down with the keys, he would " blow his brains out." Mr. EDWARD Houoirrosr then came down and unlocked them ; upon which the villain collected some silver spoons, and de. camped, holding out a warning to the inmates, that if they made any alarm, or either of them should leave the pre mises within two hours, he would return and put them all to death. It is supposed that the robber is acquainted with the premises, as he evidently knew who was the master of the house; that he was not the only person concerned in it, is sufficiently certain, as he occasionally went to the street floor and held conversation with some one, previous to his leaving. No trace of the offenders has as yet been discovered. The property carried away amounted to between 301. and 401.—Hampshire Telegrapk. nit what WO 10t a voter. .13Rot:G1101 his Lordship ) to the jury , led a verdict, verdict was all think he t the Cou lt Oil 11 9 It 11 10 11 11 11 )RS.

" There are some passages of admirable spirit and effect, especially those which relate to the manners and characters of the French. The campaigns too are related with re markable clearness. Mr. Hazlitt's work will well repay the reading." —New Monthly Magazine. " They who would desire to see what an original thinker and a powerful writer has to say about the man of the last age, will not rise from the perusal of the work disappointed. It contains many nervous and vigorous pieces of writing, which scarcely any man but Mr. liazlitt could have written : we Lind many shrewd remarks tin the grand subjects of human nature, and some animated specimens of reasoning ; while the whole has the advantage of being that kind of view of the character of Napoleon which an Englishman was not likely to take."—Atlas. " In the perusal of this work our readers, we think, will discover abundant proofs of its author's intellectual and imaginative powers, of his honesty and straightfor wardness of purpose, of the peculiarities of some of his social and political opinions, of the generous warmth of his feelings, and of the richness and illustrative vigour of his stylo."—Scots Times. " There is not, that we can discover, a sentence militat ing against the cause of liberty, or any tendency impro perly to exalt the subject of the work. * The style is ardent, energetic, and manly ; and that brilliant ima gery which glows so profusely in his other writings is here introduced but sparingly, as being little congenial to the majesty of history. " * The portion of the work which relates to the Revolution is full of interest, and may he read with profit by most persons. It abounds with splen did passages and tine accurate delineations of character."— London Weekly Review. " The volumes contain passages of great power and beauty, joined to much gorgeousness of style,"— Athonmutn. " He has allowed no petty feeling or sordid calculation to mingle with or unduly hasten a performance of various and important interest, and one, the admirable execution of which, as far as it has advanced, and as we have been able to estimate it, will secure Mr. 11.1zlitt a reputation which his fondest admirers never dreamt of his attaiaing." —Literary Chronicle.

All affidavits read in court may be read be fore the Master; but no affidavits in reply, unless introducing new matter, and at the Master's request. "the Master may examine witnesses, viva voce, upon subpoena ; may make separate reports upon the ap plicatioa of parties ; and where such separate reports are of debts and legacies, he may certify the state of the assets, whereupon parties interested may apply to the Court.

In decid ing on the sufficiency of answers, he shall consider the relevancy or materiality of the statement, &c. He may direct estates to he sold in the country or elsewhere. Where the Master directed to settle a conveyance, or to tax costs, the conveyance or bill shall be brought into the office by the party claiming, &c.; and if the other . party do not agree to the same within eight days, the Master shall sett le a tax. When ever the same solicitor appears for different partiee, the Master may order them to be represented by distinct solicitors. All the above orders are to take effect from the first day of next Easter Term, The alterations which these orders propose to make are in most cases improvements. The regula tion respecting the process of subpoena and the ser vice of subpoenas to rejoin, answer amended bill, &c., are useful; but it must not be forgotten, that there are many very valuable suggestions in the report connected with this subject, particularly as to the dilatory, expensive, and often oppressive process of attachment for contempt, which are not here alluded to The orders limiting the time for amending Bills, are those respecting which great doubt is entertained among many very experienced persons ; but the comnion sense and common justice of a restriction on the opportunity which this part of the practice has afforded to unjust plaintiffs for harrassing de , fendants is obvious. It must, nevertheless, he ad mitted to be a topic of considerable difficulty. The regulations respecting costs are the most de cidedly novel of any of the alterations. Some of the persons who have attempted to account for the mis chievous &Jays which have been occasionzdlyproved to take place in the Court of Chancery, and among these Lord Redesdale has been the loudest and strongest in his opinions—have attribued them to ale mutual courtesy and civility of solicitors, who do not try to devour one another in Chancery, as they do in o th er courts o f J a w; but that as th e, greater pa r t o f th e cos ts come out of the fund, th ey are satisfied t o rece i ve th e m from that source. Whe ther it be tru e th at S o licitors in Chancery are more or whether and any forbearance, r bdeealnc amiable than a tt orn i es at law, we will not i nqu i re; n raayise, of that the consequence of their gentleness courtesy which became so much a la mode under Lord Eld on ' s rule and which Mr. Bentham has called th e court plaister th a t c ov ered a multitude of th e wounds he inflicted; but it seems to be quit e c l ear t h at these lamb-like qualities will no longer p reva il. T he new 'rules, as to rost::, w;11 rail up very different reeling:, and litigation will certainly hot be less frequent. The abject of the rules which apply tothe Master's office, are to give to those most important officn-s the active superintendence of the business brought before them in a greater degree than they have hitherto possessed that power. There can be no question, we presume, as to the propriety of this part of the alteration: for it has long been knots n and admitted,that greaterabuse s exist in the Master,:' offices than in any other department of the Courts of Equity. There is, however, still , much to be done respecting these offices ; and until the unjust and absurd practice of paying for copies as it at present exists, and the whole system of fees payable to the Masters and their clerks, shall be changed, no real good will have been done. If these alterations were to be the whole of what, it is intended to effect, they would be worse than useless ; they would he just as efficacious in the way of remedying the evils which prevail in the adminis tration of justico in the Courts of Equity, as washing the face of a leper wo u ld b e to etre him of his dis ease. If they are considered—and so we take them to be—as proofs of an earnest and honest desire, entertained by a person who has the power to carry his desire into performance, that a disgraceful and absurd mass of abuse and evils shall be swept away, and that one of the most valuable institutions of the cnuntry shall be restored to purity and usefulness, they ought to -be received with great satisfaction, arid the exertions of all persona who are interested in assisting the work of amendment ought to he re doubled, from the consciousness that what they have hitherto done has not been in vain.—Morning Paper. RUSSIA AND PERSIA. (From the Literary Gazelle.) On presenting the following Journal to our readers, we have great pleasure in acknowledg ing, that it is derived from the best authority, both as it gratifies ourselves and as it stamps the relation with a very superior degree of public in terest. Other letters which have reached us from Petersburgh and Tabrcez possess singular importance at this moment ; but we do not feel at liberty to go into their details. Suffice it to say, that they are the latest from these parts; and that on the frontiers of Persia the decided opinion of British residents (who have the first opportunities of forming a judgment) is sadly against the chance of any successful resistance tieing made to the advance of the Russians.— " The unwise Shah, by deferring the payment. of the money demanded by Russia (says one of our letters) has occasioned a renewal of hostili ties; and the Russian army was under orders to proceed to Tehran. It is difficult to foresee the ultimate consequences—they must be fttal to. Persia, certainly to the Shah. lie could not await the arrival of the enemy at Tehran ; and in attempting to quit it with his treasure, be would, most likely, be attacked and plundered by hit own subjects." From Petersburgh we hesr so gratifying as account of the Emperor Nicholas, that we arc sure it must interest our readers when so much depends on the personal characters of sovereigns, and particularly, in as far as England is concern ed, on the personal character of the Russian Autocrat. Again, we beg to state .that our in formation is fr om suc h sources as to en itle it to no common consideration. " Th e Emperor k.:33'111 troll) t he writer, tvill l an trust, Ei' a prosperous Englishman n of Superior reign tainly tto sovereign ever better deserved it. His sentiments are so high and noble, and his private and public life is so manly and dignified, that he forms a model for gentlemen and monarchs. This opinion is not simply my own, however confirmed by my personal experience, but the same that I hear froni all the foreign minister, who have been strict observers of his conduct, and wOio have seen him in days of difficulty anti in boars of pleasure." For the welfare of England and of Europe we know not that we could publish a more se-tis tiretory statement than this sketch of the Ernr , peror Nichola', which is written by a most c.oin petent witness, and assuredly never exuected to meet the public eye—consequently the inure valuable.

WEDNESDA Y, OCT. 24.—1 n the Morniug letters arrived from Soufian, addressed to Aga Reza and other heads of the divisions (kud khudas) . of Tabreez ; th e y were wr i t t en b y th e aons of Nuzzur Ali Khan. late chief of Maraud, to inform the people of this city of the intended early advance of the Russian force which sonic days ago had arrived in that district. It was re commended that no opposition or resistance, should be made ; for if the inhabitants remained quiet, violence would not be offered to their lives or property. These letters being intercept ed, were brought to the assuff ed dowlah .Alli ya Khan, who immediately summoned the per;ort. • to whom they were addressed, and accused theQ 'of inviting the enemy to the city. The kud khudas, in the strongest terms, repelled this charge ; but tha contents of the letters having become public, the effect they were probably in tended to produce was perfectly fulfilled. Later in the morning, a shah s ghollaum reached the city from Soufian. He reported that a strong advanced guard had arrived at that village just at he was quitting it. The alarm from this moment the citizens, rapidly spread to every corner of Tabreez.—Thc inhabitants of the suburbs were seen hurrying t o , pre sent report e e l f l u o g r e t of approach of while Russian within the walls; in smaller numbers, were endeavouring to escape into the country. Fear and extreme alarm were depicted on the countenances of all. The pre did not pass unheeded by the Arrauk, and Ma zaunderoun troops, w ho, to t he number of 5,000 or 6,000 men, had been left by the Shah for the defence of the city . The y were observed quietly to lead their cat t le , an d , in small parties, to mo v e out of the town. This movement soon became very general amongst them. Before ro army mid-day the whole body had nearly quitted, on the road to Tehr an - ; some few of the chiefs and less cowardly men alone remained lingering about the place. Alli yat Khan was not early inform ed of the desertion of the troops. It is believed that their alarm was increased by the threats of the inhabitants of Tabreez, who, besides having a great antipathy to the southerne, were anxious that their deserted guardians might i 6 o.ve the city being either apprehensive that they _a , at tempt to plunder it before they quitted, o r, by a wetik defence, might subject the town to treatment from the Russians. A lli yar Khan, when apprised of their fli3ht, could only send some of their chiefs an his own immediate followers to stop the runaways. In his anger he likewise ordered the Tabreez people to pur sue and plunder them. His orders were no sooner issued, than a portion of the armed cit;sene attacked and stripped the southerns who still re mained at their posts. About one o'clock there were very few of the 5000; four hundred were indeed brought back ; they vows e•cured within LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 8, 1828. LONDON MARKETS. PRICE OF BREAD.

HYDE P./krt./C.—The ornamental sculpture which decorates the upper part of the lonic entrance into Hyde Paid: is now disclosed to public view, the scaffolding haying ken partly removed. The figures are in basso relievc, and represent a triumph of Theseus, after an ancient mode! found among the ruins at Athens. It is executed in a style highly creditable to modern art, and the effect is extremely beautiful. STRIKING INSTANCE OF INTEGRITY.-- About six years ago, a merchant whose name we forbear to mention, became bankrupt. A statement of his affairs being laid before his creditors, showed that the effects would yield 12s. per pound, which sum was ultimately realised, and paid to all concerned. In 1823, the gentleman left Leith for Van Diemen's Land, where he was more success ful than he had been in this country. A gentleman in this place lately received a letter from him inclosing bills sufficient to pay the old deficit of Bs. in the pound, with interest f - otn the time of his failure, besides an additional sum of 301. to pay any contingent expenees that may have arisen. What makes this the more praisen'orthy, is the fact that he received a full and free discharge before leaving this country. It is in contemplation to present him with a piece of silver plate. to shew that if the debtor has been j honest the creditors have been grateful.—Scotainart. NEW ORDERS OF THE COURT OF CHANCERY. The publication of these orders has followed close upon the Lord Chancellor's announcement of them. They relate chiefly to certain points of practice, and to some of the proceedings in the Master's office. They, however, fall very far short of the end which the propositions annexed to the Chancery ,Commis sion were intended to accomplish. The Lord Chan cellor has explained this in a great degree, by stat ing that some of the further orders, by which the practice is to be altered, have not yet been agreed on ; and that others are of such a nature, that they cannot he carried into effect without the authority and aid of Parliament. Against each of these rea sons for delay, nothing can be said at this moment. It is true that many of the proposed alterations s quire serious deliberation before they are conelu sively adopted; and that others cannot be made without compensating the individuals whose emolu ments are to be taken away by the change in the practice of the Court. These two reasons, how ever, good as they are, are not conclusive against the reform which the conntry calls for, and which it has been publicly and solemnly admitted, by per sons in authority, ought to be forthwith effected. Two years and a little more have elapsed between the day on which the Chancery report was made and the date of Lord Lyedhurst's orders. If that space has not afforded time enough for deliberation, it must be nearly enough, and the delay which may still be necessary cannot be a long one. The com pensation question is one not so easily got over. It was said that two noble and learned persons, whose names were contained in that commission, relied mainly on the difficulties that this question would give rise to, for the purpose of bailing and disappointing the good which the commission was intended to bring about. Whether this be true, or an " inven tion of the enemy," does not matter much. The business is in other, and (why should we hesitate to to say ?) better hands. " The old man of the sea" has fallen off ;—and the hopes of all persons who really wish that the practice of the court of Chan cery should be made what, considering its great im portance and the interests it has to deal with, it ought to be, are revived by seeing that Court under the influence of an energetic mind, which can un derstand and keep pace with the spirit of the times we live in. We have therefore no doubt that this question of compensation, when it shall be once fairly and earnestly taken up, will be disposed of satisfactorily. There are funds unappropriated in the Court of Chancery far more than sufficient to do all that may be required under the commission, and which cannot be, to our thinking, more properly applied. In the mean time, the great security which the public has that a substantial and effectual reform must be made, is contained in the report of the Chancery Commission. Not only are names annexed to that report which are of authority sufficient to silence the only persons who could object to its conclusiveness, but there is a body of infor mation drawn from various sources, which places the faults and abuses of the present system in the clearest ,possible point of view. Nobody can any longer be ignorant even of intricacies of the system. The mysteries have been explained by the very priests themselves; and now, when the matter comes to be discussed—as often it will be, in Parliament and by the public press, until the whole of the projected reform is completed,---no person will be found bold enough to deny the facts proved in evidence annexed to that report. The old reproach which has been so cunningly and so often cast upon the uninitiated—that it was impos sible for them to understand the profound subtleties of Chancery practice—has lost its force. A reply is to be found in every page of the Report, and even they who may venture to doubt what Mr. James Lowe says, cannot dispute the evidence of Mr. Bell, or the Vice-Chancellor. At the same time that it has exposed the evils - of the system, it has laid down, in distinct broad terms, what ought to be done, in the opinion of the commissioners, for remedying those evils. Their propositions form a test by which may be tried the extent and sufficiency of any proposed improvement ; and until they shall all be carried into practice, or some good reason given for abandoning them, the public expectations will not be satisfied. For the reasons which have been stated, the orders now published do not pretend to carry the whole re port into effect. It would hardly be possible, within such space as we can spare for this purpose, to com pare the present orders with the propositions in the report; and as they form only a small part of those propositions, it is not worth the while. Besides, as this subject is to be brought before Parliament in more shapes than one, soon after the holydays, a more convenient opportunity of discussing them will then be afforded. At present we shall only describe shortly, the general purport of the orders, which are eighty-one in number, and which, for greater conveni ence, we shall class according to the subjects to which they relate. PROCESS ANT) PLEADING. Subpoenas returnable immediatelyZY — be obtained with out affidavit; but without prejudice in country causes to the eight days' time for appearance. Subpoenas to he issued for each defendant (except hus band and wife), and to be allowed in costs of the cause.

No order of reference for scandal or impertinence, unless exceptions in writing, signed by counsel, specifying pas sages, and order obtained within six days.
