he had a great repugnance and prejndice en the first place to conquer, and that it aseas with difEculty he could bring himself to censure one who never Uttered - an "unkind word on the Bench to any per Son. He (Mr. Broui;harn) experienced this repugnance himaelf at all times and to a great degree, and Sir Samuel ROmilly often -- declared the embarrass ment occasioned him in the same way. He now spoke of Lord Eldon as a Jtidge, and not - as a politician, for in the latter capacity no Man was More severe upon - his enemies than that Noble and .Learned' Individual. The Honour able and Learned Gentleman was 'convinced- the Commis sioners of Inquiry had not done their ditty; and the question a'M whether they were to have the Chancery inquired into aow or next Session. Unless the evideride was brought in to be examined during the recess, nothing . Could be done next Session. His Hon. and 'Learned Friend, who - was a staunch Ppposition Member, had not, in his opinion, -followed up the '„aquiry with the ardour due to the subjeet. His lion. anti Learned Friend might have been governed by - candOur, which a generous mind often felt with respect to' an adversary ; but Why, he might aslc had they studiously eitluded. from the Committee the Member for Lincoln and the Member for Dur ,Yll, who p ossesse d great ant i use f u l ta l ents . —(H ear , he ar !) !le would rep -at his•enlogy, notwithstanding the sneers of some Members who could just count their ten fingers, and whose silence was the wisest part of their conduct: The Commission consisted of the friends of the Lord Chancellor, chosen by him self. He found among the Members of that COmmission, Lord !tedestlale, who c am e i n f or t h e sea l s o f I re l an d at t h e ti m e th e ford Chancellor held - the seals in England. The next was a per. son whose rise had been most extraordinary : it was equalled by nothing except a balloon. Living on Cancellariunt bounty, he had been made Chief Justice of the Common Pleas ; then ''aster of the Bolls; and, to make assurance doubly sure; the r.lext thing they did was to - make hint a Peer of the Realm and a Robertlou rn ey an CI tancellor.—(A laugh.)—Then there was what Sir Walpole called political gratitude for d legacy in ex-- gammas; Peeta it was not pecuniary, it was to be the Great -- Seal.— g ( " 1 h).---There w ere a l so man y rea dy made Masters in phanceey and some expecting to be made. All took their share in the inquiry as friends of the Chancellor, and no doubt they said we will bring lib- to happy resurrection. It had been said that system s w had heard thattr earner stones of the Constitution but they not t o bl ame. , n „Tbta new doctrine. It was - said men were the system ne system was to' blame. No man blamed more than the Member' for Oxford. The fact was, to screen the l. or d C hancellor the system was to be bl ac k ene d night after night. It would comfort him to hear whether it really . was the systeM or • the man that was to blame.— It did not appear that LOrd Eldon, with the assistance of a Journeyman Chancellor, had done more business than other Chancellor s . Did th e Noble Lord sit six hours in Chancery with his mind on the ; full stretch ? These questions had not been the subject of inquiry. By agreeing to the motion of the Hon. Bart., the illerober for Westmeath, they .might confer 't great benefit on the 'cfnintry, ,Dr. LUSHINGTON, in explanation, could not adthit that tae Lord Chancellor .had exercised any influence whatever Oarin g the .inquiry• Ike put it to his brother Commissioners Whether the Lord Chancellor hail been present at the examina ti`al of more than' three or four witnesses out of the whole ~ 411 ther examined. They had followed up the inquiry accord. rug to th e pl an a: ra nged by the Committee. The proper time " i t inquiry into eonduct of the Lord Chancellor would be I`, l 'oett the turisdic.iiiit of the Court was examined.. In case they gone further in the examination than the rules of evidence 4 " o wed, they could not have discharged fieir duty fairly. . Mr. TINDALL said, he.would occupy their attention for a Very few moments. - lie was anxious to vindicate the Commis 'ion, of which he formed a member, from the charge of mine- F"ury delay. They had strictly adhered to the course laid down lb their original instructions, which was to investigate the causes of delay and expence of a Chancery suit. In pursuance of this re gulation, they had applied themselves to investigating the ca uses, and supplying a remedy for the delay and expence at tending upon a suit in Chancery, anti as far as he was himself I ndividu a ll y concerned, although he could not presume to a nswer the his b r oth er Cominissioners, he was prepared to say t"nt the Report would be ready to be presented to his Majesty before the commencement of the next Session. Mr. Secretary CANNING.—It is not, Sir, my intention to d etain the House many minutes. lam desirous, however, to state in a few words, the grounds upon which 1 mean to give "tY vote upon the present occasion. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman, during the whole course of his very entertaining 'Teeth, seems to have founded his argument upon a fallacy, and that fallacy being removed, the argument of course falls •to the ground.- He has assumed that the Commission op- Pointed to inquire into the state of the Court of Chancery, is t ellurt of Criminal Inquiry - into the conduct of the Lord Chan ,„e-(Flear !)—but I believe, Sir, that this Commission l a - -4 ) .tao considered by. the House, the country, or by the s s a a i i n c i : thatsrera themselves. The Honourable Gentleman h th e ormerly it was the fashion to arraign the man, and . ‘ not the a ir n etn, but that the order is now reversed. I can ass; me ssonourahle Member, and I am sure the House feeb,.!,it e ~.t s e tha t a taere has been no disposition upon the . paFt of conduct e",„tastituted this inquiry, to shield the man if Ins. .it 1.17-6'0,12e proved to be culpable, or to uphold the . !sys.em : if th e eut_ho discovered to be unsound. As it is, however,.o. such fi: t ." the Commissioners to put us in possession of to , altalation as b ' prima facie evidence, may prove , not herhather the' i'y , ' t e y m or the wean be in fault, I tan 4/enebelr' th ta i"kin g it li s tifa .

I' say.then Sir, that if the Hon. and Learned altioenniiber .(Mr. Brougham; hd b •bl to prove that this a cell k' mission was to be considered as a Court of Criminal In ;tiatury into the conduct of Lord Eldon, his argunients might olir!.ve been available; but if it is held, as I hold it to be a .and impartial and bona fide investigation into the conduct *e tte Court of . Chancery, : with a view of ascertaining, t e'etlter the system or .the man be in fault, and if, among i)",c alerobers of that; CommiAsion, there be two or three, a , even one, who are .not likely, through favour, interest, thattrivate friendship, to screen Lord Eldon, then I re-assert, t ° the Lhe Honourable and Learned Member's argument falls li a , e _gaound. Wh at thens I ask, is the object of the motion ? t h e "o'al delay ? Out Will that object be gained by acceding to ae a tiPatiition of the Eon. and Lessrmal Member ? Shall we se ta ,. elaY by aholiShing the present mode of inquiry, and in pl. _trig another ? Shall we avoid delay by stigmatizing the aaetitejlt Cominissionera, against whose individual characters possible slig.htest shadow of a suspicion can attack ? It is im whie, e, Sir, that any advantage can result from a measure, all an nullifies and stultifies all our proceedings, which undoes a e ; t .n s !ttilas been done, and makes us stop at the conclusion t. l th e resestaelon without_ even giving time for the publication o th at i , 9u of the Commissioners' inquiries. I say, therefore, whol tis the duty of this House-to wait for the report of those aaa n t hey have appointed to investigate this matter. An lion. sloabit'elerned Member •has assured you I have no reason to re ad tne accuracy of inforrnation, t ' hat this report will be '-n Y e ea rlY in the ensiling Session.

LINEN TRADE (Ireland) COMMITTEE—Power to Commit ' tee to report Opinion.—lteport brought up, and read, as fol lows : 1. Resolved, That it is the -opinion of this Committee, that Ireland has claims undoubtedly strong upon the Parliament of the United Kingdom, for every aid and encouragement neces sary to the maintenance and support of the Linen Manufac ture, at least to the extent of the annual Parliamentary Grant made and confirmed under circumstances detailed in a docu ment in the Appendix, numbered 1. 2. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that the Laws which relate to this important branch of the public industry of Ireland require revision and amendment, and many of them that were wise and necessary at the time of their enactment, and under which the Manufacture in its origin throve, would, if now enforced, produce much inconvenience, if not a serious injury, in many particulars, to the interests of the Manufac ture, and such Laws ought therefore to he repealed. 3. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that, proceed ing in the consideration of those Laws according to the order in which they affect the Manufacture, it appears to this Com mittee, that it would not be expedient to alter the system of the inspection of Flax-seed previous to the let of July, 1826, before which time the policy of continuing that inspection may be further investigated. 4. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that Irish Flax would be in very extensive and increased demand for exporta tion for the use of the British manufacturers of mill-spun Linen Yarn, if brought to market in a clean regular made-up state, and would thus be equally applicable to and sought for by those manufacturers, and answer all the purposes of their manufac ture, as any Foreign Flax whatsoever; but they supply them selves to a comparatively small extent with Irish Flax, incon sequence of the dirty imperfect state in which it is offered for sale, to the injury of the growers and vendors of the article to the amount of from twenty-five to thirty per cent. on the value. 5. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that it is there fore expedient to provide, that Flax fraudulently made up for Sale in public market, shall be punishable by small fines, reco verable before a Magistrate on the complaint of a purchaser : Anti it is further the opinion of this Committee, that the atten tion of the Linen Board ought to be very particularly directed to the best practice of making up Flax for sale, to the most effectual method of giving publicity to that system, and of en couraging the dealers in Flax to adopt it. 6. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that the further advancement, prosperity, and - success of the Linen Manufacture in Ireland, will very much depend upon bringing into general use the improved description of Scutcu Mill for dressing Flax, and upon establishing mill machinery for spinning Linen Yarn, which will not, in the opinicin of this Committee, interfere with the interests of the spinner of hand-spun yarn, as both mill and hand-spun yarn are required, and to great demand, for dif ferent parts of the manufacture of Linen. 7. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that it is expe dient that Irish Yarn, exposed for sale in public market, be subjected to regulations respecting length and count, and equal quality, such regulations to be enforced (not as at present, by the forfeiture of the yarn), but by small fines, recoverable before a Magistrate. 8. That it is the opinion of this Committee; that it is expe dient to exempt Foreign and. British Yarn imported into Ire= land from any regulation, or . by any inspection of any public officer. 9. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that all Brown Linen exposed to sale in a public market shall be subject to the present legislative regulations in -respect to the lengths, breadths, measurement, sealing, and inspection of said Linens, such regulations to be enforced by small . fines, recoverable be fore a Magistrate; but neither Irish Yarn, or Brown Linen Cloth, shall be subjected to any legislative rule or restriction, unless when brought to public fair or market for sale. 10. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that a Fund being provided for the encouragement and advancement of the Linen Manufacture of Ireland, anti legislative enactments for the regulation of that manufacture being necessary, together with officers appointed, responsible for the, execution thereof, some superintending au thority is required to make due appli cation of such Fund, to controul the conduct of such officers„ to receive and decide upon the claims of those taking interest in promoting the manufacture, and in' hearing and redressilfg the complaints of parties concerned in or- connected with the trade. 11: That it is the 'opinion of this Committee, that the distri bution of the small utensils, consisting of wheels and reels, heretofore placed at the individual elisposal of the members of the Linen Board, may be discontinued for the future without any injury tothe Linen Trade. 12. That it is the opinion or this COMmittee, that the Linen Trade having acquired a degree-of advanceirient in the North of Ireland, highly beneficial to the industry, Wealth, and moral habits of the people, a most zealous attention ought to be exerted for the purpose of extending that trade into the other parts of. Ireland. 13. That it is the opinion - of this Committee, that the rooms, buildings, and premises, in the Linen anti Yarn Balls of Dub lin, ought to be let for any term, not exceeding seven years, to the Factors and others engaged in the. Linen and Yarn Trade of Ireland; or to persons concerned in any other of the Manu factures of Ireland, for their accommodation, and for the stor ing the produce of these Manufactures; • 14. That it is the opinion of this Committee, that the Chair man do report these Resolutions to the House', 'and Move for leave to bring in a Bill grounded thereon.—Report to lie on the table, and to be printed. - . • - .• NOTICE OF MOTION FOR THIS DAY. 3lr.

Letters - from Prevesa,dated 28th April, con tain the following particulars relatiVe .to the ad-. vance of.the Seraskier, REDSCIIID PAci5A, against Missolonghi, and the defeat which he sustained at Anatolie°, 015 which occasion 6000 Turks were killed or taken prisoners " The Seraskier had set out from Arta with 20,000 - , or ac cording to some accounts with no less than 30,000 men, and had already approached Anatolico, meantime daily actions took place with the Greeks, who were retreating, and who had laid . waste every thing on their way. In these actions the Turks . had the'disadvantage, and adeording to 'all the accounts they . were already exhausted and destitute of provfsions and ammu nition, when they 'arrived in the environs of - Anatolie°. - On the 17th April the Greeks attacked : with the greatest.h#petnosity Redschid Pacha, who wag in want of every accesisavy i .aild dis persed the whole army, Redschid himself fled „to Arta, on which the greater part of the A lbanians,-w; i° had stilt apeornpapiedhima,.- deserted him, Among the prisoners brought by' the - Greeks to hlissolonghi is Selim Bey, nephew of the Seraskier. Greek Journals and the Corfu Gazette contain some preliminary ac counts of this brilliant affair.

Nohiitlistanding, therefore, that tire motion made-last night in the House of Commons for the production of the evi dence hketi before the Come.iiSSionerS' now sitt ing on this Subject, was lost, the discussion will have the good effect of showing the enormities of the Court, and fixing its misdeeds in stronger characters on the public mind. . Every Ori'y that the Report of this Commission is 'withheld, -e‘iery day that the evils it is producing go unrernoved, .Will only add to the feeling, and must end in pulling down this " Inquisition" with all its powers and all its Oppressions. Out of its ashes a Court may be erected whose practice shall be conducted on sounder principles of justice. We do not complain of the Officers of the Court, but we cry out against its system, and lift up our voice against the abominations that are perpetrated under its sanction and its protection ; we cry out against the horrible injustice that is inflicted upon the country in the' name of Equity, and the Oppressive exercise - of powers that the Constitution has denied to the King, but which the practice of this Court places at the disposal of any man who chooses to-seek for them. It is an Odious Court, and so . eVil and corrupt that ❑o gOod can be derived frOm any plan built upon its foundatio►i- 'the system is not bad in part and good in part, it is altogether bad ; from the very filing of the bill to the executing the decree, there is no one single good point in the practice—it all tends to oppress and ruin. The Commissioners, now pursuing their inquiries on this subject, have had time enough to do something, and certainly, therefore, the public was entitled to request some little information -on a point in which they were so deeply interested. It would have tended to have quieted their fears and to allay the irri tation the discussion has excited. As decided enemies, however, to the Court of Chancery, we feel rather rejoiced than otherwise at the issue of last night's motion, because it will increase the hostility of the country towards the Court,and con firm their opinionsof its oppressive and evil tenden cy. The more these opinions are confirmed, the stronger the public hostility becomes, so much the greater is the probability that. the remedy when it is accorded (and come it will), will be adequate to the extent of the evil it is proposed to cure. The Court of Exchequer, on the equity side, is just as bad as the CoUrt of Chancery, and we presume, although_ not mentioned, it will be included in any alteration that may be introduced. It seems that the promoters of the Liverpool and Manchester Railway are endeavouring to cover their defeat as they endeavoured to prop up their case, by misstatement and' misrepresentation.' A Morning Paper . _ of this day statei, that the Pill was lot in the Committee by a majority of four, which was made up by the attendance of four individuals who had never before Appeared there. This statement is wholly false. The majority against the Bill was nine, and amongst them were Mr. ROBERT GORDON and Mr. CALCRAFT, jun. who attended daily in the Committee, and took a very promi nent part in its proceedings in favour - Of the measure, but who were satisfied by the evidence that it did ,not deserve, and could not in justice receive, the sanction of the Legislature. An illus trious instance-of a Member's voting, without having attended the meetings of the Committee did certainly occur ; but the party was no ether than-Mr. JOSEPii HUME, who, having at tended one .day out of twenty-nine for three minutes, did take upon himself, without having heard either evidence or- the ar guments of Counsel, to vote in favour of the Bill. So much for the consistency of .this active, candid, and modest Gen tleman. DEATH OF THE DEAN OF CANTEititutt - T.—We regret to announce the death of the. Very Reverend GEIITtAR.D ANDREWES, F.S.A. Dean of Canterbury, and Rec tor of St. James's, Westminster. This melancholy event took place, on Thursday evening, at the Rectory House of St. James's. Dr. Andrewes, was appointed to the Deanery of Canterbury, in 1809 ; after having been, for some time pre vious, Rector of St. James's. As a preacher, his talents, were highly appreciated, in London : this was amply testified, by the crowded, as well as fashionable, congregations, which, every Sunday, when it was known he was to preach; filled St. James's church.
