Bank Annuities, on condition ti► it it adopt that system, and the London Committee having thought it advi•eable to accept this munificent otrer—" Whether the service at large will concur in such decision ?" 2d. What General Principles shall in such case govern the Institution, especially as regards the rate of admission of Members,—th e nomination of Scholars,—and the quali fication requisite to entitle to elect, or be elected, into the " Council of Administration." ...... 3d. Whether in the mean time (whilst it is impossible to proceed to the latter election, from not knowing who are, and who are not Members, or willing to become so) it be not expedient, in order to expedite the mass of business to be transacted in the commencement of such an undertak ing., to give full powers to thirteen senior and distinguished Officers, residing in and near London (with authority to add to their number, if they should see fit), authorising them to consider it fixed; that the project shall be carried into execution on such scale as the subscriptions and donations may warrant, and r e questing them to act for the best in all emergencies ; particularly to carry into exe cution, ae far as may be possible, the Resolutions of the General Meeting—to appoint the requisite Office's pro t erfiPre to assist in this—to concert with the out-port Committees, so as to come to a common agreement as to the situation of the proposed School,—to act on that agreement as promptly and energetically as possible—and in June, 1832, when it may be expected that the project will be fairly s t arte d— to assem bl e anot h er G enera l Meet ing, resign their authority, and cause a regular " Council of Administration" to be elected in proper form.

PORTSMOUTH, Jr LY 2.-The departure of the squadron under the command of Vice-Admiral Sir Edward Corking ton, G.C.8., will, we u nderstand, take place on Wednes day. The Caledonia, Wellesley, Barham, Curacoa, Pearl, were paid advanced wages yesterday, and the re mainder will be paid on Monday. His Majesty's ship Stag, 46, Captain Sir Edward Troubridge, is hourly ex pected to join them from Plymouth. It is understood th, squadron will have two trial cruizea, returning into port after the first, which, we hear, will be very short; ti latter cruise will be for a much longer time. 'I he retw home to the different ports may be looked for about the middle of October. The fleet will call off Plymouth on their way to their appointed rendezvous, to meet the Stag, in case she should not arrive here before that time. Vice- Admiral Sir Edward Cudrington made the general signal yesterday afternoon to the squadron to prepare for sailing. The Alban, steam-vessel, Lieutenant Davis, will accom pany the squadron. Several yachts will also accompany them, ltd by the Royal Yacht Society's Falcon, Lord Yarborough. The Menelaus, Marquis of Hastings, and Marquis of Huntley, have been taken up at Deptford for regular trans ports, according to the notice issued by the principal offs cen; and Commissioners of his Majesty's Navy. The Catherine Stewart Forbes, transport, Lieutenant Gordon, agent, is arrived in the Downs on her way to Plymouth, there to embark passengers for Gibraltar and Malta. A retirement has been granted to Mr. G. 'White, of the Navy Pay-Office, at Chatham, after an honourable servi tude of upwards of twenty years. Mr. Wade, Master Brewer of the Royal Clarence Vic tualling Yard, Weovil, has been superannuated after a faithful stewardship of forty years in his Majesty's service. Lieutenant White, R.N., Las been removed from the Atherfield station, in the Isle of Wight, to the coast of Ireland. The former situation is now occupied by Lieu tenant Knight, R.N. Lieutenant F. Ruddy', late senior Lieutenant of his Ma. jesty's ship Medina, and formerly of his Maj-sty's ship Victory, has been struck off the list of naval officers by order of the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty, in consequence of a representation from Commander Castle, respecting his conduct on board that ship on the coast of Africa. A Court of Enquiry has been held on Captain Slaugh ter, of the Coast Guard at Dartmouth, on certain charges preferred against him by Lieutenant Godfrey, of the Royal Navy. The Court have fully acquitted Captain Slaughter, and Lieuten , int Godfrey has quitted the Coast Guard Service. It is said that Copt i n Lord James Townshend is likely to be appointed Commodore fur the South American and Cape of Good Hope stations, which are to be combined under the command of Rear-Admiral Baker, C.B. Lord Yarborough, as Commodore of the Royal Yacht Club, has given two splendid entertainments on board his yacht during the week, which were attended by Vice-Ad miral Sir Edward Codrington, G.C.8., Rear-Admiral Sir W. Parker, and a great number of other Naval Officer., as Ivelhas by all the rank and fashion in the neighbourhood. His Lordship's yacht, with his broad pendant flying, is at anchor at Spithead, as is also the Campedora. During the week he has been visited by a large number of the yachts belonging to the Club, among them we noticed the Arundel, his Grace the Duke of Norfolk; the Flower of Yarra, his Grace the Duke of Buceleugh ; Gem, Nenba, Julia, Osprey, Zebra, Ilebe, Nelson, Lady of the Lake, Undaunted, Red Rover, &c. There are also a number of yachts in harbour fitting, and we are happy to say that this port is fast gaining an ascendancy as a general ren dezvous for the Club ; the facilities to be obtained here being so decidedly superior to all other ports in the neigh bourhood. Amongst the variety of purposes to which steam-vessels may be usefully applied, nautical surveying may be num bered ; and so strikingly have the advantages, in rapid tides and intricate navigations, been demonstrated by the adoption of so powerful an auxiliary in this interesting science, that the Lords of the Admiralty have appointed one for the use of Lieutenant Denham, R.N., who is now surveying the Bristol Channel. We sincerely congratulate the public on this spirited espousal of so important a work, and we are glad to find that this indefatigable officer and' his assistant, Lieutenant C. G. Rubinson, are provided with means someway proportionate to their vigour and ability. At the close of 1830, Lieutenant Denham com pleted the north shore up to St. David's Head, including Milford Haven, and the extensive estuaries peculiar to that coast, such as the Burry, Towy, &c. lie is now occu pied between the Mumbles, Cardiff, and Bridgewater, whereby the situation at those fatal sand banks, the Scare weathers, Nash, and Culvers, will be soon developed, to the advantage of the vast commercial and navigable inte rests frequenting that extensive channel, especially with the contemplated light-houses on Nash Point. Those who are aware of the impetuous rate and unusual rise of tides (varying from 30 to 60 feet) in the Bristol Channel, will best appreciate the difficulties to be overcome by these highly-talented and useful officers, and heartily wish them success in every way. At Spithead—Caledonia, Prince Regent, Revenge, Donegal, Wellesley, Asia, Talavera, Alfred, Barham, Curacoa, Volage, Pearl, and Sylvia cutter, In Ilarbour—Spartiate, Winchester, Royal George, Rattlesnake, Samarang, Tweed, Victor, Charybdis, Cu lumbia and Alban, steamers.

Extract of a letter from an officer on board his Majesty's ship Talbot , da ted Mauritius, Feb. 10, 1831 :._Soon after the Tweed saile d for En g land, the Bad ger brig arrived at Simon's Bay from the Isle of France, with orders for the Tweed, (in the event of the Talbot not having arrived) to proceed forthwith to join the Commodore, there being a little disturbance amongst the French, in consequence of some alterations respecting the Slave Laws, which were not agreeable to thoseparticularly concer ne d. The orders were so peremptory, that not a moment was to be lost, notwithstanding the state the Talbot was in, with all her sails on shore at the Dock-yard, rigging, &c., her water all started for cleaning out the tanks, her yards and l masts down. The ship Bay on here. the was, however , ready for a start and illtwo days, and on the 8t h ofle say that matters were all a rran g ed, and th island i n a perfect state of tranquillity'. The station i s so pleasa n t ]eft arrivedof December, happyurnitz to as I expected, but perhaps after a little tine I not maey country, more reconcihd to the fashions and customs The exorbitant charges for every ing at 2t t_o afal Mauritius were it not that e exceed any thing 1 ever experienced, and have been able to we should not I which must say we brought with us from the Ca p e thirty sheep, and poultry in proportion, live, except upon the ship's allow ance, it remarkably though at present the heat is powerful, is is remarkably good. So far the station is . good, and al- LONDON, TUESDAY E healthy, only you must keep out of the extreme heat of tl e sun. There has been no hurricane, nor is it expected be. fore the middle of next month ; I understand they ate terrific. The Talbot is, however, well prepared for them moored with five anchors." His Majesty's gun trig Brisk, 10, Lieut. Butterfiel , l, sailed o❑ Sunday for the north of Scotland, to enforce the late quarantine regulations, and to communicate with all ships and vessels arriving from ports in the Baltic, in order if possible, to prevent the introduction of that dreadful scourge, cho'era morbus, into this country_ The Hyperion Sybille, and Sallette, frigates, are now being jury-rig( d at this port with all dispatch, to proceed to the north a temporary lazarettes. His Majesty's whip Briton, 46, Capt. Markland, C. 13. was paid wages o❑ Friday, and sailed yesterday for Lisbo❑ to relieve his Majesty's ship Ariadne, 28, Capt. Phillips, which ship will return home. The lady of W. Hoppner, F.sq. his Majesty's Consul General at Lisbon, and Lieutenant Kynaston Corbett, to rejoin the Ariadne, went out as passengers. We have great pleasure in stating that his Majesty has been gracious y pleased to permit the Victualling Depart ment at Weovil, to be named from the titst of July inst.

VENING, JULY 5, 1831. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY 4. TURTON'S DIVORCE BILL. CounsA were heard and witnesses examined on thi. Bill, but nothing new was elicited, and the furth er h ear i n of the case was a d j ourned to this day fortnight. Lord AUCKLAND laid some papers on their Lord ships' table relating to cholera morbus. The Earl of lIAREWOOD claimed their Lordships' in dulgence for a short time while he brought under their no tice a matter somewhat personal to himself—he ha, further to claim their indulgence, as he aid not man to conclude with a mo tion, but i n hi, opinion he was entitled to som e ex planation fro m ti n Noble Lord. The circumstance of which he had to cone plain was this. In July last a Magistrate of the counts „f Y or k, of which he (Lord Ilarewood) was Lori' Lieutenant, was indicted for perjury, and while tilt 811 was before the Grand Jury he wrote a letter to a u foreman of that jury, which he (Lord H.) considered a most improper one, and it was laid before his Majesty's late Government. When the next commission for that counts was issued, that Magistrate's name was properly left out. To his astonishment he was applied to assist in restorint him to office, which he refused ; and to his still further astonishment, or. the 27th June last, he was restored to the Commission of the Peace, without he (Lord H.) having any intimation on the subject. This was the circumstance to which he hail to call their Lordships' attention, and to which he expected an answer from the Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack. He had felt that the present was the only course he could pursue under the circumstances, not only for himself but for every Lord Lieutenant, and even for the office itself. The only question which be would put to the Noble Lord was, what were his public reasons for having passed him over in the office which lie held? lie acknowledged that he had the right, if he pleased, but it had been unusual to follow such a course. The Noble and Learned Lord had occasion to speak to him the other day on this subject, and in that conversation the Noble and Learned Lord seemed to think that the indictment for perjury, which bad failed, was the only thing against the individual. He at once applied to the late Lord Chancellor, and got from him, as far as his Lordship's recollection went, a copy of a letter which he had written to the Noble and Learned Lord now upon the Woolsack, which letter made distinct mention of the individual's letter to the Grand Jury, forming one of the grounds of his name being left out of the commission. It was not usual, he believed, and cer tainly he had never experienced it before, for a Lord Lieutenant to be so passed over, and lie begged their Lord ships to consider what the situation was in which he should find himself placed if he were asked in the county "Why did you appoint such and such a person?" He must reply to such a question " I did not appoint him." " Why. then, who did ?" would be the next question ; and lie must answer "It was the Lord Chancellor." Nor would questioning stop here. It would be said to him 46 But did not the Lord Chancellor communicate or consult with you upon the subject ; and if not, is this treatment which you intend to put up with ?" Now these were questions which it would not be very agreeable to answer.—(Hear, hear.) He could assure their Lordships that he had never inter fered, either to have this person displaced or restored ; and he therefore felt himself in a condition to put this case be fore the public in the only way in which it was possible for him to protect himself against an imputation which he should be very sorry to labour under, and which he did not deserve. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he could very easily answer the Noble Lord when the Noble Lord asked what there was in him (Lord Harewood), or in his high office, which could lead him (the Lord Chancellor) to treat hint (Lord Harewood)—he would not say with dis respect, but—with any thing bordering upon, or ap proaching, or looking towards disrespect. His hearty, frank, and conscientious answer was this—" Nothing." Never, to that Noble Lord individually, nor to the office which the Noble Lord held, had he been inclined to show any thing but that respect which the conduct of the Noble Lord and the nature of the Noble Lord's office challenged from him. But he would not rest there, he would not content himself with saying this to the Noble Lord personally—with saying this about the office which that Noble Lord filled. He appealed most confidently to every one of their Lordships who were Lords-Lieutenant, and begged them to say whether, in their intercourse with him, it was possible for any Keeper of the Great Seal to have shown a more entire and implicit deference to their office, or to their opinions is to what persons should be inserted in, and what persons excluded from, the Commission of the Peace.—(Hear, hear.) He was very much understating the fact when he said that in every week since he had come into office, he had had very many applications, some of them most urgent appli cations, to insert the names of particul tr gentlemen in the Commissions. His answer had been one and the same to all, and that answer was, " Go to the Lord-Lieutenant ; if he recommends you, that shall be a law to me; I never will insert or exclude any without the recommendation of the Lord-Lieutenant, for he is the responsible adviser of the Great Seal, and has local knowledge, which I have not. (Hear.) N a y, in inany cases in which he was free to confess that he thought the Lord-Lieutenant had been wrong, as in the ease of two Magistrates in a disturb ed district ; and in another ease, where the recommenda tions were of the strongest, the highest, the most respect able character, —even in such cases he had refused the ap plications that had been made to him. He hail offended some of his most intimate connexions by this course of proceeding; and he had been even remonstrated with, and told that it was at once his right and his duty to grant applications, of the propriety of which he had no doubt, in spite of the absence of the Lord-Lieutenant's recommendation. His answer had been uniform and in flexible, and he had told their Lordships what that answer was. He at that moment saw a Noble Lord before him (the Lord-Lieutenant of a county)to whom he had yielded, and inserted that Noble Lord's man, giving up his own, though he was of opinion that the application of the latter ought to have been attended to. And he would now put it to their Lordships whether there Lad been any devia tion on his part front that course in the case of 111 r. Storks, for Mr. Storks was the gentleman to whom the Noble Lord had alluded. Certainly, according to the Noble Lord's statement, there had been such deviation ; but • then the Noble Lord had, unintentionally no doubt, o mitted some very material facts of the case. Now in 1807 Mr. Storks was in the commission; in 1820, Mr. S.otks was put in the commission again upon the demise of the Crown, being then recommended by the Noble Earl. _—(Hear, hear.) Mr. Storks centinued in the commis sion, and continued to act as a Magistrate until IS3O. On the accession of his present Majesty, there was a new com mission ; and the Noble Earl bad forgotten to state that be (the Noble Earl) had again caused Mr. Michael Stor ks's name to be inserted in that commission also. The Earl of HAREWOOD made an observation, which r ; a s not heard. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, that he must not be interrupted. He had allowed this very irregular discus sion to take place—he had allowed it—for he might have stood upon his right—he might have told the Noble Earl to impeach him, if he pleased ; or he might have taken advantage of the order of proceeding in that House, and forced the Noble Earl to give a formal notice of this dis cussion.—( Hear, hear.) He would venture to say, that this was the first time a Keeper of the Great Seal had been put upon his trial for the improper discharge of a very delicate duty, by virtue of a polite note received from the Noble Earl, with the Noble Earl's compliments ; and without any notice to their Lordships generally, though with very ample notice to some of their Lordships, as he could perceive by the full attendance in a certain quarter. (Hear, and a laugh.) He only mentioned these cir cumstances in passing, and should not have alluded to them but fur the interruption of the Noble Earl, whom, however, he begged it to be recollected, he had not inter rupted while in the course of addressing their Lordships. lie did not complain of this question being put to him; it was a very fit question to be asked, and a very fit one to be answered, which, with tho permission of their Lordships a nd the Noble Earl, he would now proceed to do. From the facts he had already stated, their Lordships would see that he bad the recommendation of the Lord- Lieutenant in faour of Michael Storks, as late as last July or August.—( Hear, hear.) And what bad taken place since that time ? Why, Mr. Storks having been Put on his trial for perjury, the name of that gentle man was left out of the Commission by his Noble Friend a nd predecessor in office. No doubt this was very proper, notwithstanding the recommendation of the Lord-Lieu tenant. He had, however ; since inserted the nasuc of • .

The weather still continues excessively wet, yet suet is the anxiety of the people, that this morning the crowd at the doors of the Congress exceeded that of any former occasion. The following protest has been published in the News papers and forms the source of the observations of all classes, as containing the grounds of Opposition to the re ception of Prince Leopold as King. It is the production of the French party and of the Ultra-Liberals united " PROTEST. " Considering that by the terms of the Ist article of the Constitution the territory of Belgium comprehends the provinces of Antwerp, Brabant, West Flanders, Hainault, Liege, Limburg, Luxemburg, and Namur, with the exception of the relations of Luxemburg with the German Confederation ;—that according to the 80th Article of the Constitution the King does not take possession of the throne until after having taken the oath to maintai❑ the national independence and the integrity of the territory ;—that it was under those express conditions that the crown was offered to the Prince of Saxe Coburg ;—that, in reality, the decree of the 4th of June instant, contains texually the words -' his Royal Highness Leopold George Christian Frederick, Prince of Coburg, is proclaimed King of the Belgians, on condition of accepting the constitution, such as it was decri ed by the National Congress ;'—that the ac ceptance given by the Prince is subordinate to conditions diametrically opposite to the aforesaid arrangements, since he requires before he comes to take possession of the throne, the previous adhesion of the Congress to sacrifices which would deprive Belgium of a part of her territory ;—that if, by an impossibility, the Congress should be able to lose sight of the object of its formation, to the point of con senting to the propositions offerdd to it by the Five Powers, and to the decisions referred to by the Prince, it would fol low that its election would be radically null, inasmuch as persons foreign to Belgium, thus mutilated, would have taken part as Members of the Congress ;—the under signed, as Members of the National Congress of Belgium, protest solemnly ggainst the introduction into deliberation of any proposition which might tend to do injury to the integrity of the territory, such as was fixed by the Belgian constitution ; they protest specially against all adhesion, directly or indirectly, to the protocols and propositions originating from the Conference of London.

Michael Storks once more in the Commission ; an ' le must say, that knowing notYng• and ctring nothim! bout the individual, and having no further acquaint-ince vith the case than he had deriv e d f r om th e r eport of M r . . . _ _ fustice Littledale—the Judge who tried the indictment fof 4erjury-he could not possibly have done otherwise, in •ommon justice to Mr. Storks, in conformity with the arinciples of our law, and in conformity, he must add. with the precedents with which his predecessors had fur rished him. Lord Eldon had laid it down as a rule— tie rule might he too strict—it might, and he believed it lid, sometimes keep improper persons in the corn -nission ; but still it was a rule which Lord Eldon had gleaned from long experience, and a rule, therefore, which he (the Lord Chancellor) 'lad thought it convenient to take for his guide. Lord Eldon, he repeated, had laid it thiwn as a rule, that, if a man were once in the Commission, 11,- vould allow no one hut himself (the Lord Chancellor) ti withdraw that man's name, unless he should be con victed of some disabling offence, by a competent Court, or artless he should have become a bankrupt. It was et Ire that the Chancellor ought to listen to no one but the Lord Lieutenant, in placing persons in the commission ; but it was a part of Lord Eldon's rule, from which his Lordship had declared that he had never swerved, not to all4w a Lord Lieutenant to strike a man's name out of the com mission. Lord Eldon had acted upon this rule in the case f the Durham Magistrates—(Hear, hear)—who had been removed by the custos rotulorum, but whom the Great seal had insisted upon being restored to the• Commission. Well, then, such being the rule, such the facts of the case, had he flown in the face of the Lord Lieutenant ? Certainly not, for he had the recommendation of the Lord Lieutenant in Mr. Storks's favour, and Mr. Storks's name had been left out of the commission by the late Lord Chancellor on account of the indictment for perjury, which indictment having been tried, Mr. Storks was ac • quitted by a Jury of his countrymen,with the fullest appro bation of the Learned Judge (Mr. Justice Littledale), who had told him (the Lord Chancellor) not an hour ago, in that place, that he (Mr. Justice Littledale) had himself suggested and directed that acquittal. Now it was very easy for the Noble Earl to say that that indictment had failed, that it had had no effect, that it had not succeeded ; and hearing such expressions, it was not unnatural that the generality of persons should think it was intended to say that it ought not to have failed,—that it ought to have had effect,—that it. ought to have succeeded. Why had not the Noble Earl said that Mr. Storks was triumphantly ac quitted, which was the fact, as he (the Lord Chancellor) knew, and as the Noble Earl might have known. It might not be necessary for the Noble Earl to ascertain this fact, but it was necessary for him, as Lord Chancellor, to ascertain it. It was his business to go to the record. He had done so ; and having the Noble Earl's recommenda tion, as he had,—for the Noble Earl continued his recom mendation in spite of the indictment,—together with the fact of Mr. Storks being triumphantly acquitted, he had felt it his duty to restore that gentleman. Now he ought, perhaps, to assure their Lordships, that there was no man, in or out of Yorkshire, snore unconnected with Mr. Storks, both professionally and personally, and even in the way of ordinary acquaintance, than the individual who was now addressing them. As to political connection with that gentleman, he had none. Mr. Storks had been first put in the commission by Lord Fitzwilliam, and he owed it to that noble family to state, that neither from Lord Fitzwilliam, nor from his Noble Friend Lord Mil ton,—nor, in a word, from any one connected with them, had he received any application in favour of Mr. Storks. He had, however, received application on the subject of Mr. Storks from some who were connected with that noble fa- rnily,—strong applications against restoring Mr. Storks, —nay, he had received even warnings that 51r. Storks ought not again to be put upon the commission. But he had not attended to these warnings and these applica tions ; he hail adhered to, and had acted upon, that rigid and inflexible rule, to which he had before ad verted, and that, too, against his own political friends. At the same time he ought to state, that he had bad many applications in favour of Mr. Storks,—one of them, a petition signed by one thousand persons, and the whole of one township had again and again ad dressed him, in order to procure the restoration of Mr. Storks to the commission. It was not, however, in con sequence of such appliertions that he had restored Mr. Storks, although, if he had wanted authority in favour of what be had done, he might adduce these applications. The fact was, that he felt he had no choice in the matter, for if he had not restored Mr. Storks, it would have looked as though he was trying Mr. Storks in his private room for perjury, after Mr. Storks had been acquitted Fry a Jury of his fellow-countrymen.—(Hear.) If he had refused to restore Mr. Storks, he should have sent it out to the world that he thought Mr. Storks guilty, although the prosecu tion, as Mr. Justice Littledale had described it to him, was, he must say, one of the most groundless and abomi nable that had ever been brought into Court. What d:d their Lordships think of calling upon a man to prove that he had sworn truly, in an answer to a bill in Chancery, respecting a most complicated affair which bad happened thirty years ago, and when all the persons who could prove whether he had sworn truly or falsely were dead, with the exception of one person, and that person being the pro secutor ?—( Hear.) Mr. Justice Littledale had told him, that as soon as he had heard the story of the prosecutor, he was instantly struck with the cruelty and injustice of letting the case go on, and, further, that even upon the showing of the prosecutor himself, there was no reason for supposing that, if Mr. Storks had stated any thing con trary to the fact, he had done so intentionally. Nov, per haps, this Learned Judge might be wrong, and perhaps the Noble Earl, as he had attacked one Judge, would think it right to attack Mr. Justice Littledale for being of opinion that Mr. Storks was not guilty.—(Hear, and a laugh.) But Ire had spoken with another Judge upon the subject —with Mr. Baron Bayley, whom he hail consulted re specting the letter. According to the recollection of Mr. Baron Bayley, he had intended only that Mr. Storks should be suspended during the trial, and bad never meant to recommend that Mr. Storks should be struck out of the commission. But lie did not pray in aid of the authority of this able and upright Judge-a.for what did the case of the Noble Earl amount to when the charge of perjury was removed ? It was very improper in par ties to write to a Judge (he spoke, however, in the pre sence of those who well knew that Judges could not help parties writing to them) ; and it was, perhaps, still more improper in parties to write to a Jury ; but was that such an offence as should disqualify a man for the commission of the peace, or was it in candour and fairness to be s's! down to that interest, and indiscretion, and imp4tience which persons felt is their own cases, and which fre quently urged them beyond the lannda of regularity ? Many of their Lordships had spoken to him about their own cases and the cases of their friends, not asking that any very undue favour should be exercised in regard to such cases, but asking that which could not properly be granted ; for instance, " Can't you give a little time ?" and so forth.—(Hear, and a laugh.) Such conversations had always been put an end to by hint as speedily as the rules of good breeding would allow—(Hear, and a laugh) —for they were not conversations which ought to be held between persons who were interested in a cause, and the Judge who was to decide that cause. He did not blame any of their Lordships for this, and still less did he say that in consequence of it they were not fit to be Judges in the last resort, for he was sure that no harm was meant; but surely the meaning of Mr. Storks might have been as innocent. By the way, as the contrary might 1 , - ,p sup pos,d, he begged to state that Mr. Stottr A had given him no assistance at his election for Xorkshire. Indeed, he wanted no assistance, for there was not a voice raised against him, with the exception of that of one per son, who, he might add, was still in the commis sion,—though many persons he knew very muelt ob. jected to Iris beine: there,—he meant W s Marlyn Stapylton—(Hear, hear, a and laughter).--his adversary. lint, to return to the Noble Eirl's case. The Noble Earl complained that he (the Lord Chancellor) had not made up his mind on the 14th of June. Now he did not see why he was bound to answer this objection, if he had made up his mind rightly at last. Allow him to say, that he had a right to take time for conaideration, for in vestigation, and for all else which prudent men indulged in before they made up their minds, and which he was not very likely to overlook, as he had not failed to perceive in how very disagreeable a situation the Noble Earl might place hint if he should make up his mind not to restore Mr. Storks. Let their Lordships see what that situation would have been. The Noble Earl had talked of ques tions which might be put to him in the county, now that Mr. Storks was restored; but let him also suggest to the e b n e e p n u t r e th s t o d m . g s ht ha n d av n e o t t )e ons if Mr. Sto m rk i Noble Earl, EHaarrel,wwGodlaa)t hi Suppose there were such people as " Storkites"—( Hear, and a laugh)—in Yorkshire, and suppose that they had come and said to the Noble Earl, " why did you strike 31r. Storks's name out of the comtnissiun ?" The Noble Earl might answer, "I did not strike his name out; on the contrary, I recommended Mr. Storks." " \%ho did it then?" " The Lord Chancellor," must he the reply ; and so it would go forth that 311.. Storks had been put out of the commission in consequence of some spite or mistake of the Lord Chancellor.—(hear, and a laugh.) Nov this would be very unfair, but it would be very natural for the people to think it true. The Noble Earl had, in the first instance, recommended Mr. Storks ; and now, in th e eyes of all men, he seemed to disapprove of his having been placed in the commission. This, he thought, was a complete answer to all that had been said. H e had no interest whatever in the appointment of rates. If cause were shown to him why, in any instance, they should be chinged, he would not heitate to alter the commission. As a proof of the humility with which he u.el the power of his situation, he would st..te to their Lordships, that lie had not called to the commission of the peace the nearest relation he had, until he received a letter from a Noble Marquis, with whom he was upon no parti ‘.ular terms of intimacy (he alheled to the Lord.Lieute pant of Cumberland and Westmoreland), expressing a wish that lie should place that individual in the commission, which intimation he of course complied with. His reason for net rejecting the name of Mr. Storks was, because be never knew, until the present evening, that the Noble Eat! a 1 t , a,l, 7p ap re p ssed any o int ment. dislike t o therenewal ioBt assuredly i o a ny f t that jn g intimation the kind hail ever been made to him, he did not recollect it. He had therefore inserted the name of Mr. Storks in ihe fiat, without any immediate consultation with the Noble Earl, because he deemed it superfluous and unne ce-sary. He hid no connexion or personal acquaintance with this individual. Personal bias lie had none in this transactiou. He had acted in obedience to a wriet rule, from which, since he had been in office, he bad never de - pa, ted. He had felt it necessary to say thus much, because case was one of great importance both with respect to himself and to the Magistracy in general.—(Hear.) Lord LYNDHURST wished to say a few words as to the course which he had taken in the transaction allutiti. to, and lie was the more desirous to do so, because in one material and essential principle be differed from the do e , trine laid clown by the Noble and Learned Lord on the woolsack. A communication had been made to him (Lord Lyndhurst) by Mr. Storks himself, on which be felt that he was imperatively bound to act, and lie thought that their Lordships would agree with him, that it was hones sible for him, in accordance with any proper rule of con duct, to act otherwise than he had done on that occasion, Mr. Michael Storks stated to him, by letter, what Lis pro ceedings had been with reference to the case which had been referred to. It appeared that a bill had been filed in, Chancery, to which he put in an answer, and certain alle gations contained in that answer were made the grounds of an indictment against him for perjury. Mr. Storks stated that the Grand Jury having been suinmenell to con-. eider the indictment, he had taken upon himself to address them on the subject. He (Lord Lyndhurst) felt it impos sible, in consequence of this statement, which came ftoise an individual who had for many years he'd the office of Justice of the Peace, to place his name on the cummissien. —(Hear, hear.) Mr. Michael Storks said in that letter, " that having received information that certain parties in teadtd to appear as prosecutors and witnesses on a bill preferred against me, I considered it to be my duty"—(and here their Lordships would observe, that this came from a Magistrate of 20 years' standing)—" I considered it to be my duty to apprize the Grand Jury of such intention, with a few remarks on the case. This, I understand, is an error; but, if so, I erred unintentionally; and my being e made a victim is the real cause thfrom eir nno ime o xh f ac, i l my ye y d oilnui excluding otherevl ‘ha i i isr g ees thus ttt. u tho. ass, Storks soc look ing r , The Noble and Learned Lord on the Woolsack adro'Ated that if this were done from a corrupt motive, it v:as most reprehensible. But could it arise front any other than a corrupt motive, when a proper tribunal exieted to try and tu decide on the merits of the original charge, that lie should address a letter to that tribunal ? Was it possible upt i t n h o a t t iavt t e l i i s e a (c t li t a t se w ea, o rh, u e l i d , evia p ,ar r s. o ) e r -e ig e ,li d : ons the Commission. But, taking it as an error, as Mr. Storks stated it to be,—an error committed, be it ob served, by a person placed in the office of a Judge, should he have been justified in reinstating him in that situation? —( Hear, hear.) He thought that he had acted correctly in taking the course which he had adopted, although his Noble and -.Learned Friend had taken a different view of the ease, and preceeded in a different manner. Ile (Lord Lyndhurst) also had a letter which Mr. Storks had ad dressed to the Foreman of the Grand Jury, —a letter from, and in the handwriting of, Mr. Storks, who had been its the Commission of the Peace for twenty years. Thus. ran. om that letter—" ilbieeodopyar,ni T tedh o uel rultheeirtyot letter r N o tfth,i,bet,elhenemt billeef tiwhi t ycn u h l aie of Nss n y re te rre_id e be lsfpentoaarvsetieinntgigitaftttrhont the best authority, that a number of persons are combined to prosecute. The ostensible prosecutor is James Woodhouse; but be is not in circumstances to enable him to carry on such a proceeding, and the whole business is the result of wicked, and malicious feelings. Not less than thirty-two years ago I had a litiga tion with Woodhouse, which is a proof of the malice that lie still harbours ; but I trust that the Grain! Jury of the yiunty of York will not agree to countenance such injustice, but will allow the Court of Chancery to decide the issue which. is still pending, before they find the bill which is now , preferred." This was the letter which Mr. Justice Bayley. when it was placed before him, bad thought it necessary, as his Noble and Learned Friend had stated, to submit to the Secretary of State for the Heine Department, together with other documents. His Noble and Learned Friend had said, that if the letter had been wrieten by an attor ney, the act would have been more reprehenaible. He could not agree in that opinion —he could not subscribe to that principle, because he could not forget the offence was committed by an individual reho had been fur 20 years in the commission of the peace.—(Hear, hear.) Another letter was also addressed to the Grand Jury, suggesting observations to them. Some of the observations were as follow :—" Samuel Holdsworth, of Halifax, butcher, one of the prosecutors against Michael Storks, will swear any thing. Joseph Woodhead, another of them, will also swear any thing to forward his infamous design." Such were the reasons which induced him to exclude Mr. St, As from the commission, It was not on account of the in dictment for perjury that had been preferred against Mr. Storks. So far from that being the case, such a circum stance would have made him doubly cautious in excluding that individual, because such a step might appear us if he twee passing judgment on him.—(Hear, hear.) But hu had deemed it necessary to exclude Mr. Storks because be: had committed an indictable offence.--(Hear, hear.) Did not his Noble and Learned Friend know that it was. an in dictable offence to write to the foreman of a Grand Jury for the purpose of influencing him ? Anti who was it that did so? Why, an individual who had been executin g the duties of a Justice of the Peace for 20 years. That was the ground on which be excluded Mr. Storks front the com mission; and, after such misconduct, he would have considered it a disgrace if he had placed. Mr. Storks in the commission of the pence.—(Hear, hear.) lie had been traduced on account of the part be bad taken in the papers published in the county of York, and in anonyuaeus let ters which bad been sent to him. An extract from one of these he would read, as it contained a most unjust attack on his Noble and Learned Predecessor in office. The letter was signed, " A Yorkshire Freeholder ;" and it contained. this passage :—" Surely you ought to look to his long ser vices before you degraded an individual who was so bright an ornament of the bench." Then there was a letter signed by Mr. Storks himself, in Willett he stated that his. (Lord Lyndhurst's) predecessor would not have pursued the same course; and that he had acted differently from what Ilia Noble and Learned Fedecessor would have done. " I have nut to learn (said the writer) what malignity the most persevering will be exereised towards me by those partiee. I could not expect any thing like a fair and manly hostility from them. The same point was pressed upon your eminent predecessor, but by him it was indig nantly rejected," Now he was quite convinced that his Noble and Learned Predecessor would not, under the cir cumstances which he had detailed, have rejected such a course of ratoceeding, but would at once have decided that he bad no other to follow. His Noble and Learned Friend had stated, with perfect correetness, what had passed be tween his Noble and Learned Friend and himself. His Noble and Learned Friend bad written a Letter to him, requesting t.c.. `.a.now why he had excluded Mr. Storks ; and he had stated, distinctly, en that occasion, that the ground on which he h e l : lie: e l: l ie u ; d ar, e i ; l,; l ze i .r i a n n i d I was, e.,,.. ll l s L ( . l'LL Jury,com u in nie a ati c o a n se arsespteco iting hnitmeisfeelrf,encaeniNiViptahrttichueuGdyranimd words tat a—c(aHseeawr,hehreear,an hear.)
