The King has been pleased to command, that an Investiture of the Most Honourable Military Order of the. Bath shall take place at St. Tames's l'alace, on Wednesday the 28th instant, at half.past one o'clock; when the Knights Grand Crosses and Knights Commanders arc to attend and receive from his Majesty their respective badges of the Order. . • shall be enabled to give a more complete list of the company to. words the end of the meeting. We are glad testate, that the Magistrates have decided on suppressing the gaming booths, not only on the Course, but in the town ; public notice to that effect has beeti given, and will be acted on to the fullest extent. The rigorous manner in which the thimblemen were proceeded against last year is calculated to have a beneficial effect—there is not the slightest hope for them. A strong body of police is placed under the direction of Mr. Tvmbs, of Doncaster, and Bishop, of Bow-street ; and other effectual measures adopted to prevent accidents and robbery. The Races commenced at half-past two o'clock this afternoon, and did not terminate till between five and six • they were in general very good. We subjoin correct details of the running, betting, &c.

Betting—Even on Birmingham, 5 to 2 agst Emancipation, and to I agst Lord Kelburne's. Two attempts at starting were frustrated by Tranby's unwil lingness to move; at Hie third he todk heart, and they spun away at a capital pace, Lord Kelburne's cutting out the work, Birmingham lying Second, and Erhancipation third; these three severally maintained their places till near the distance, when Birmingham and Emancipation singled themselves out from the rest, and ran a very pretty race home, the latter winning neatly by nearly a neck.. Tranby was beaten about two lengths; Lord Kelburne's and Hassan were well up with Tranby. Johnson rode the winner. It will be recollected that Birmingham heat Emancipation for the list ye es St. Leger, the latter having made all the running and coining in a re-pectable third; .they ran again for the Thirty Guineas' Stakes with the same result; the running of Ethancipation this year has shown a marked nrovement.

They came oft in a crowd, and so close together that it would be difficult to say which made running ; the following, however, were in front :—Mr. Walker's filly, Darioletta, Mr. Powlett's two, Corset and Violet; about two distances from home these six came right away from the crowd, and were abreast till oppo site the Stand, where all declined a little except Mr. Walker's and Mr. Vansittart's. The run in between these two was beautiful, nor could any one name the winner till the last stride which en abled Scott-to get Mr. Walker's filly's head in front, after a plen tiful use of the whip.

A match for 50 sovs. each, I2st. each ; heats, 2 miles ; between Mr. Hayes's Melancholy and Mr. Holdgate's Cottage Girl (both got by Orion) was won easy by the former, in two heats; rode by Kent. Among the visitors to the Grand Stand this day were Phil Sampson, Jein Ward, Harry Holt, and others of the same class, who had been concerned in the pugilistic exhibition this morn ing. Surely some means should be taken to prevent the obtru sion of such company amongst the society of persons of the first cbstinction in the land, of which the fair sex formed so conspi cuous a portion. the most dreadful confusion, during which Brown - was beaten on the head with sticks, and kicked by the mob in 'the most dig: gracefu.! manner. Still he fought on, and although all " time keeping" was out of the question, did his best. He had but a slight glimmering of sightifroul one eye, and of this he would haVe been deprived but from a Cut, which let out the blood and allayed the swelling. In this horrible state of disorder the fighting continued, till Brown's friends saw he would not e permitted to win, and as his life Was In hatard, they determi on taking him away. The fight was of course elairde.l on th part of Sampson, but there was a universal outcry against, the 'gross injustice which had been done to Brown, and almost every backer of Brown declared. he would not pay, while several of the most influential betting men said they could not receive under. such circumstances. Both men were taken off the ground to their respective inns, and in an hour after the fight, a backer of Brown m et the stake holder at the Subscription Rooms, and protested against his giving up the stakes without consulting the umpires and referee. The stakeholder, however, said, " be had already given the money to Sampson, and there was an end of it." Against this extraordi nary and unprecedented proceeding there was no remedy, and poor Brown was left to the consolations of a battered head and empty pockets. The rule of the ring is, that " all bets go with the battle money ;" but we suspect, from the public declarations in this instance, that this rule will not ha observed. If a final " knock-down blow" were wanting for the ring, nothing could have been more effectual than the issue of this, " the last fight on the list." It was clear from the first that a premeditated plan was laid to prevent Sampson from losing if he could not win--and that he had lost all fair chance of winning in the 21st round, was universally acknowledged. He had been severely hit on the side of the head; and, added to this, the injury to his spine was such, that, until bled at Doncaster, he could not stand uptight. Brown, on the contrary, was strong and fresh to the last; and although nearly blind, became so formidable in his attacks, that Sampson shrunk from the ponderous fall of his blows. It would he useless to pursue descriltna, however, where a barefaced rubbery was so apparent. Many remarks were made on the precipitation with which the stakeholder gave up the stakes, but, upon reflection, the surprise on this subject soon subsided. We think we may now fairly say we have recorded " the last speech and dying words of the Fancy. A benefit is in contemplation for Brown, who certainly, if not a fine fighter, exhibited the true game of John Bull on this oc casion; and if courage and cruel treatment ent i t l e him to sym pathy, he deserves all that can be affbrded him. MARKET INTELLIGENCE. LONDON MARKETS. (From the London New Price Current of yesterday.) SUGAR.-There was some appearance of a rally in the Sugar Market last week. The holders of Muscovades refused to submit to any further reduction in the prices ; the offers made were re jected, and in consequence the estimated sales of the week were limited to '2,700 hhds. and trs. at firm market prices. The stock of West India Sugar is now 56,411 hhds. and trs., which is 7,061 more than last year. The stock of Mauritius 121238 bags, being 79,362 more than last year. The delivery of West India Sugar last week 3,5)1 hhds. and trs. being 574 less than last year. The delivery of Mauritius 6,561 bags, being 1,566 more than in the corresponding week of 1810. At the close of the market the estimated sales this day were 900 hhds. and trs, including the Barbadoes sale ; the prices steady. The Refined Market assumed more appearance of firmness last week ; the buyers of low goods for export could not purchase on such low terms as formerly ; there were extensive buyers of Lumps at 615., but no sellers ; the fine shipping goods were, however, little inquired after, and were still offered on very low tera.s ; the fine goods, suitable for home consumption, were also very dull. There was no alteration in the Refined Market this afternoon ; low Lumps firm at 61s. 6d., but few sales reported. EAST INDIA SUGARS.-The public sales of Mauritius Su gars on Friday 5,699 bags, after a small part was taken in, sold with briskness at a general advance of tid, to ls., and in some in stances Is. a Is. 6d. higher; some China Sugars sold at a small reduction. In Bengal or Manilla Sugars there were few transac tions, and no alteration in prices. By public sales this forenoon nearly 7,000 bags Mauritius; the whole went off heavily, and 6d. to Is. lower than on Friday, making the Market at nearly the same prices as early in last week. FOREIGN SUGARS.-There were some parcels of white Havannah Sugar purchased last week at rather higher prices, 335. 6d. ; there were many inquiries for yellow Havannali, but no actual purchases to any extent were reported. This day, at public sale, 281 chests of Brazil Sugar, nearly two-thirds were taken in; the remainder sold at very low prices, brown 15s. 6d. and 17s. WEST INDIA MOLASSES.-The Committee of the House of Commons report unfavourably for West India Molasses being used in the distilleries and breweries. Average price of Sugar, 11. 2s. 1010. per cwt. COFFEE.-The demand for British Plantation Coffee became general and extensive last week, and an advance of 2s. a 4s. per cwt. took place ; the rise was particularly in triage; in ord. and good ord. Jamaica triage 635. a 61s. ; good ord. 675. a 68s. ; the fine fine ord. and low mid. sold lower in proportion ; about 900 packs Brazil sold 435. a 465., which was rather lower; St. Do mingo sold 465. a 475. ; East India at former quotations; Batavia ord. mixed 495. up to 455. for good; Sumatra, 38s. a 395. By public sale this forenoon 1,087 bags Foreign ; about 450 bags ord. Brazil, the remainder good quality St. Domingo; 133 casks 71 brls. British Plantation sold at full prices, triage and broken at 655.; good ord. at (Os. a ; fine ord. and low mid. at 695. a 725. ; the Jamaica is again Is. a 2s. higher, particularly the lower qualities ; good ord. St. Domingo sold at 475. ; ord. Brazil with. drawn at 455. ILL; IVI, AITDV, very dull; Leewards 1 and 2 over Is. 5d.; Jamaica 28 to 32 over 2s. 3d a 2s. 4d. Geneva is still neglected.

Bd.-Several of the best marks of Brandy have also been sold at 4s. 5d., which is rather higher than the pre vious week; the deliveries from the Docks, it will be observed, are very large. HEMP, FLAX, and TALLOW.-The Tallow Market has become more firm, and notwithstanding the large stock, there are few parcels offering for immediate sale. Hemp is very dull, and were buyers to appear, they could purchase on lower terms. Flax continues at nominal quotations. COTTON.-The Cotton market continues steady.

The market generally is very flat, the sales by private contract being very limited, and prices rather lower, except for Wools of the value of 2s. 3d. l ier lb. and under. INDIGO.-There is no alteration in Indigo : it is still believed that the next sale will be nearly 9,000 chests; above 7,200 are already declared.

DONCASTER, MONDAY Niairr.—Several arrivals have taken place since our last, and the town, for the last twelve hours, has exhibited considerable bustle • it is still, however, far from ap. proaching its wonted gaiety. 'The falling off' is chiefly in the vi sitors of rank,—of this class the prop ortion is scarcel y a te n th of the average : in the list of the absentees is the whole of the Fitz william family, who are prevented attending by the death of Lady Milton. The subscribers to the new betting-rooms have increased to between five and six hundred, and the number is likely to become still larger. The race-course, this afternoon, was respectably attended; but, for the reasons already stated, the ensemble was inferior to former meetings; we had only time to note the following members of the fashionable world :—The Marquis and Marchioness of Cleveland, Marquis of Sligo, E ar l Wilton, Earl Mulgrave, Lord Kelburne, Earlof Uxbridge, Lord Oakley, Lord John Fitzroy Lord W.

THE LAST OF THE RING.-FIGHT BETWEEN SAMPSON AND BROWN. (From the Morning Chronicle.) The good folks of Doncaster were on Monday enlivened, though not honoured by a fight, in addition to their racing amusements. The competitors were Brown and Sampson, whose match for 2001. a-side, it will be recollected, has been standing over for upwards of a year and a half, in consequence of Sampson declining to go to the scratch at Ludlow, according to the ori ginal understanding, and the stakeholder not having appointed a second time and place of meeting until the present occasion. Both men have been in training for some time, and arrived at Doncaster on Sunday. ' The match, from its long delay,. as well as the prostrate state of pugilistic sports e xcited little Interest, and led to very few betting speculations till the eve and morning of the battle, when some "business" was done at five and six to four on Sampson. The Mayor of Doncaster having signified his intention to pre vent themill in his jurisdiction, it was determined to pitch the stakes in a field near Pegburn Leys, the estate of Earl Fitz. william, about five miles to the north of Doncaster. Thither Oliver and Frosty-faced Fogo bent their course, and a very excel. lent piece of turf was chosen. In order that the tight might come off before the races commenced, it was ordered that the men should be in the ring between eight and nine o'clock in the morn ing—and previous to that time the road to the scene of action was thronged by all classes, who mustered in strong force on the appointed spot, the toddlers being by far the most numerous taking the lead, attended by Matt Robinson and Tom Oliver, and Samp son by Jem Ward and Harry Holt. Sampson declined shaking hands with his antagonist, and both commenced peeling wit delay. Two umpires and a referee havi n g been appointed, the men were brought to the scratch—neither looked in " slap-up" condition. but Sampson had the advantage i n symmetry of per son while Brown had the advantage in length and weight. Sampson's friends did net fail to chaff the Bridgenorth Hero, and to apply every opprobrious epithet to him which their hos tility could suggest. Brown, however, was cool and steady, and although the party was evidently strong against him, he seemed to have no fears for the result. THE FIGHT AND ROBBERY, Precisely at twenty-one minutes after nine the battle com menced. The first round lasted near ten minutes, which was occupied by cautious waiting on both sides. Brown stopped an effort from Sampson's left, and shortly after planted his right on Sampson's head; after a slight exchange of hits, Brown then closed and threw his man, falling heavily upon him. In the second round both men were more anxious for the affray, and after a little play Sampson dashed in and _planted his left heavily on Brown's left eye, which instantly swelled up, and first blood was proclaimed amidst thundering shouts from the Sampsonites. A second left-handed hit on the ear brought t he men to a close, and in the close Sampson was again down. In the third round Brown lost no time in rushing to a close; Sampson hit up well when in, and in the close both went down, Sampson under. It was now two to one on Sampson. In the fourth round, however, Brown hit him down with his right on the side of the head, and this was the first knock-down blow. Prom this to the 15th round Sampson had thebestof the out-fighting,jobbing his man right and left with great severity on both eyes, and giving woeful evidence of the force of his blows by the altered state of Brown's ogles. Still Brown fought with unshrinking game, and rushed in to hit right and left, but he hit over-handed with his right, catching Samp son on the side of the head without making much visible im pression ; Sampson, however, began to show symptoms of weak ness; and in this (the 15th) round, after a wild rally, in which heavy hits were exchanged, Brown succeeded in grasping him for the throw, which he obtained, and on going down caug ht Sampson's head under his arm and gave him a severe twist in the spine as he fell. This was not relished by Sampson's par tizans, and an attempt was made to break in the ring, but for the moment it was successfully resisted, or rather not persevered in. In the 16th and 17th rounds Sampson had rather the advantage, but in the 18th Brois'n put in a good nobber close to the temple with his right, and closed for the fall, when Sampson slippe d from his grasp to avoid, but obviously weak. Brown now we nt vigorously to work, right and left, Sampson retreating ; at last they got to the ropes, and Sampson again got down. In the '2oth round a desperate rally was fought; both hit away with fary, and 'Sampson was thrown .—( The ring was again broke in, but again were the intruders repressed.) In the next round, however, Brown, pursuing his bustling system, stood upon no repairs, but went to work, and catching Sampson on the ropes, hit him se verely on the head several times, till he fell almost sense less. This was the signal for a simultaneous rush to the ring; a friend of Sampson's gave the office to " come in," and the roped arena was instantly crowded with persons armed with sticks, who were evidently bent on preventing a fair issue to the battle. Sampson, on coming to himself, claimed " a foul blow," but this was decided against him ; and the referee, seeing there was no chance of the tight being continued with fairness, retired, and on his arrival at Doncaster actually stated that Br own was th e w i n ner, so persuaded was he that Sampson had not a chance. This was the impression of all the respectable persons present, and any odds might . have been had on Brown. Such a conclusion, however, did not suit the " books" of those who broke in the ring, and, after the retire ment of the referee, the fight was continued, very imprudently 4 on the part of Brown. Sevenl rounds were contested amidst C .uNTRX CORN MARKETS DURING THE WEEK. Wheat. I Barley. 1 Oats. 1 Beans.

The opening of the New Basin, capable of containing eight men of men of war, takes place to-morrow with great pom p, their Majesties having signified their gracious in tention to be present. Sir Byam Martin has been inde fatigable in the various arrangements making for the recep tion of the Royal Family fur some days past. His Ma jesty has shown th e most li ve l y i nterest , not on l y h ere , but in all th e nava l yards where improvements are go i ng on, himself p er f ec tly acquainted with the most tr t tirn a g k d in e g tail. While here it is to be hoped his Majesty's attention will be drawn to the double docks at this yard, which are rather dilapidated. When this is done the yard will vie with any iu the kingdom for convenience, capa city, and site. The Thunderer, of S 4 guns, a beautiful ship, built by Q. Long. Esq, master shipwright, after Sir Robert Sep pings's plan, is to be launched, and proceed into the Basin. The Royal Sovereign yacht rntered yesterday, for the use of their Majesties during the ceremony of opening. Great praise is due to the principal officers for their at , tention to the comfort and safety of the public in the erec tion of booths, &e,, as imm e n s e n um b ers , n o doubt, will be collected to greet their Majesties on this occasion ,. th e ga t es of the y ar d s b e i ng generally thrown open to el re spectable persons. 831. , , PRICE 7D. I MPERIAL:PajgAAMENT. HOUSE. OF LORDA SEPTEMBER 20. The House commenced business at Ten Minutes past Fiv;; o'clock. Me. BERNAL and others from the House of Commons brought up the Surplus Ways and Means Bill, and the Administration of Justice in Ireland Bill, which were read frrit time. A long conversation took place between the Duke of Rictimosn the E4rl of RosstxN, and others, on: a motion made by the Earl of SHREWSBURY that the roport of a survey should be printed. The motion was opposed by th e Duke of RICHMOND and Lord IioLLAND on the ground of its rntailing an use!ess expence on the country. The Noble Duke bad no objection that the Earl of Shrewsbury should see the original, and make as many copies as he pleased, his only ground of opposition was the rxpence. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY brought up the report on the Plurality of Benefices' Bill, with the amend- ments made by the Committee. Lord TENTERDEN moved that instead of thirty miles within which ene person could not hold two livings, the distance should be forty-6,e miles. On this amendment their Lordships divided, when the numl.ers were— For the original clause iR For the amendment ...$ Majority —4l BANKRUPTCY COURT BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved th .t the Rink. ruptcy Court Bill Iv , now re-committed. Lord LYNDHURST—He rose to make a few observa tions on this ni'•l. The consideration of it had been, on more than one occasion, postponed on account of his ab sence, and he should be wanting in respect to the House if he now refrained from m iking any observations upon it. The observations which be proposed to make would be . . made in the spirit of fairness and candour. This was not a party question, for the object of all was to make the ad ministration of justice as perfect as po,sible. The present Bill was founded on the defect in the administration of the bankrupt Idws, under the exising sys•ern, and by the pre sent G.lnmissioners, and be woulel, therefore, in the first place, advert to the charges against these Commisionern He did not allude to any charges made against them in this or the other House of Parliament, but to the charges made against them in other quarters, where they had been at tacked and most grossly calumniated.—(Hear, hear, from some Lords on the Opposition Benches.) Tory hid been charged with incapacity, with indolence, with being greedy of fees, and acting not from a regard to their duties, but from selfish motives. It was easy to set a-going these calumnies against them in a quarter where they were not known, and, therefore, it was the duty of those who did know them to come forward and repel these calumnies. This was due in justice to them and to the public, which was interested in the characters and conduct of those who had important - public duties to perform. During the three years when he held the Great Seal, he had had an op portunity of ohs( rving the conduct of the Commissioners, and he could, therefore, say, from personal observation, that the charges against them were utterly destitute of foundation.—(Hear, hear.) In that body there were in- dividuals of the greatest knoa ledge, of the most honour able principles, and the highest talents, and in every re spect of a character equal to the important and confiden tial station which they held; and, indeed, equal to any station ; and he would s , y of them u a body, that they were well qualified faithfully and ably to discharge the du ties imposed upon them. He'had had an opportunity of observing their proceedings for three years. His Noble and Learned Friend near him (Eldon) had had an oppor- tunity of observing them for a much longer period, and what he had said he had said in his pregence, and without having had any communication with his Noble and Learner Friend on this subject. He believed his Noble ant Learned Friend would confirm his statement. And it was the more important that his Noble and Learned Friend should confit m it, as his Noble and Learned Friend on the Wnolsark anti ..0 - e.t.. Noble and Learned Friend near him, from which an inference had been drawn very different from what was intended to be conveyed by it. It had been repre sennd as applying to the London Commissioners, whereas it really applied to a very different body of men —the country C o mmissioners. If any cne doubted the capacity, the character, and the conduct of the London Commissioners, he would appeal to the fact, that not withstanding the great variety, number, and complication of the cases that came before them, and the multitude of decisions which they had to pronounce, there were in the first place, comparatively a very small number of appeals ; and in the second place, (a very small number even of the cases appealed that hail been reversed. This was a deci sive answer to the calumnies that had been uttered and published against the Commissioners, and proved incon testibly that they were capable of discharging, and did well and ably discharge their duties. But where there had been so much declamatory accusation against the Com missioners, it became material to consider the particular points of the charges. He had no intention to go into all that had been said and published in different quarters; but there were two petitions laid on their Lordships' table which might be taken as embodying the substance of all the charges. One of these petitions was from the Com mon council of the city of London, and the other from a meeting of bankers, merchants, and traders of Lon don, assembled at the Mansion-house. In the first of these petitions the grossest charges were preferred against the Commissioners, and in no vety delicate language. But looping at the charges in both petitions, lie could say that they were totally destitute of foundation. One charge was, that there were fourteen lists of Commis sioners forming 34 different Courts, each of them governed by different rules of law. This charge was, on the face of it, destitute of foundation. The Bankrupt Laws were founded on special Acts of Parliament by which the Com missioners in all the lists were guided. These Acts of Parliament were the index to which the attention of all of them were to be directed ; and the small number of ap peals proved that they all did efficiently direct their at tention to them. Another charge of a still worse cha racter was, that these gentlemen—honourable men and of high character, multip'ied meetings for the purpose of en• hanc'ng their fees. This was a charge of fraud, and it would require strong evidence to prove it against such men. It was a maxim of our law, that fraud was flat to be pr, sumed ; and keeping this maxim in view, look at the probabilities of the case. The meetings which were said to be thus multiplied, were mere private meetings ; and a Commissioner was obliged to sit there for two hours, and often sat much beyond that time, and the whole remu neration which be could demand was 11. Even if the in dividual bad been base enough to multiply meetings for the value of the fees, the motive was utterly inadequate. Contrast with this the language of a Committee of the House of Commons, which had this subject under consi deration. They were gentlemen. They objected that the paym nt of the Commissioners was by fees ; and the reason which they assigned for this object was, that beral persons would on that account be apt to say that they multiplied meetings for the sake of, the fees ; although the Committee themselves completely acquitted the Commissioners of acting from any such motive. Another charge was, that the youngest and most unfit • men in the profession were usually appointed Comthissioners. The youngest man in the number had been appointed by himself; and that person was distinguished for his ability and eloquence. Now he had appointed none under the mature age of 30, and al! whom he had appointed were well able to discharge the duties of the situation. Then it had been laid to the charge of the Commissioners that they were not punctual in the discharge of their duty, but they were, on the con- trary, careless and negligent. This was a most futile imputation, a nd could hardly have been seriously urged. Indeed all the charges were on l y worth y of being met with scorn, derision, and contemp t, as mere slanders on the character of honourable men. He felt himself bound to enter into these deltas, us he had had personally an op. portunity of observing the proceedings of the Commis sioners; and he again said that the charges were un founded, and that they were all learned, honourable men, and well qualified to discharge their duties. So much as to the Commissioners. Now as to the system. Some of the advantages of that system were not to be overlooked. It some times happened that there was a great deal of business of this kind to do; at other times it happened that there' was little or nothing. To this state of things the present system was admirably adapted, as the business was always done without delay, and with the greatest possible facility. Another advantage was, that the business was done in a manner that was extremely cheap to the individual suitor. If he bad to go to other an advocate.

He had himself proposed some amendment in it. He had proposed, that at meetings where one Commissioner would be sufficient, only one should attend; and that the three Commissioners should attend only on the adjudi.- c ition of the bankruptcy, and on proof of dates, where there were disputed claims. This was a rraade in which he h .d proposed to diminish the expence ;,!,and he bad also proposed that three of the Commissioners should sit from day to day, far difficult points. His Noble and Learned Friend appeared to consider the evil a existing among the London Commissioners ; and yet, with regard to the country Commissioners, he had done little more than elevate them to the foating of the London Commis sioners. His Noble and Learned Friend had begun at the wrong end ; for he ought to have corrected the system as far as it applied to the country Commissioners, and then directed his attention to the London Commissioners. But nothe did objectmea n as t o advantageously "wouldatnoot a h s er th s e yst p em tes ent.What he effect samethe verywith was, superiorthat un less advantages,aniither syst e m t ‘ e v m o ta s d h o h t e dd h b e teteett to attended here to the exiting system, and to see whether it would ' admit of improvement. He did not ipprove of an altera tion in the existing system, unless it should be proved that another system would be attended with manifestly decided ( advantage. Having said this much as to the Commis— sioners and to the system, See now what Win the System proposed by his Noble and Learned Friend oa the Wool- sack. If their Lordships thought that the pr-sent system nrought ill then they ►night be disposed to adopt the pro posed system, and then see what it was. Firs, as to the point of cheapness, the propo. , ed Court was to consist of a Chief Justice, with a salary of 3,000/. a year, and then there were to be three Puisne Judges, with a salary of 2,0001. a year each. Then there were to be six other: in fe.rior Judges, called Commissioners with 1,5001. a year —not temporary Judges adapted to the occasions, but per manent Judges. So here were ten new Judges to be :►p- pointed, whose salaries on the whole would amount to 18,0001. a year—a number short only by two of all the Judges who did the whole common law business of the kingdom. Then there were to be two Rezibtrars, at 8001. a year each, and eight Deputy Re2istrars, at 6001. a year each, so the expense of these officers would amount to 6,4001. per annum. Then theie were to be thirty ether officers selected, not from the legal procession, but from the commercial classes, under the name of assignees. The amount of the salaries of these assignees was not stated, as they were to be paid by a certain commission, and they were left to ascertain the amount of the remu neration the best way they could. His Noble and Learned Friend bad said, however, that he intended to draw these assignees from that class of persons who were usually sum moned to attend on Grand Juries ; but, without meaning any disp iragement to them, be might say that they were persons who were not disposed to work for nothing. When any of them were chosen as an arbiter in the city of London, he generally charged more for his troul.le than any gentleman at the bar, and then it came to this, that each of these assignees must have '7OO/. a year to induce him to undertake the office, so that the salaries of the whole of them would amount to 22,0001. a year. The result of the whole was, that the expence of all this ma chinery would amount to 48,000/. a year. Still the expence ought not to be deemed a valid objection, if the public service demanded it ; but it was obvious that a clear case of advantage ought to be made out before such a system was adopted. Another con,ideration was the extensive patronage which this would confer on the in dividual holding the Great Seal. Here were 50 new ap pointments to be at his diposal, and that too at a time when in other great offices of state the patronage had been niuch diminished, or bad ceased altogether. He was sure that his Noble and Learned Friend did not value the patronage, but looked to much higher ob office looked to patronage as a great object. It was, how ever, in reality, only an addition, and a most troublesome addition, to the duties of the station.—(Loon CHAN CELLOR-" Hear, hear.") But then they had to consider in what light it was regarded by the world, and what the wand in general would think of such a patronage so in creased. It was no answer to this reasoning to say that seventy offices were abolished when only fifty were substi tuted, for these fifty offices were new offices to be all filled up at once. He had thought it his duty to throw out these observations, and it was for their Lordships to con sider to what weight they were entitled. But as to th e system proposed by his Noble and Learned Friend, he, for his part, did not see any advantage in it over the pre sent system, but rather a disadvantage. The present Com missi.mers did their duty in the simplest and plainest manner, and these duties were almost all Ministerial, ex cept in regard to the adjudication of bankruptcy, and the proof of disputed debts. As to the adjudication of bank ruptcy, by his Noble and Learned Friend's system, one of his Commissioners or Judges was to deride the points whereas, by the present system, that point was usually de cided by three of the Commissioners. It was true that the one Commissioner, under the new system, might calt two others to his assistance, and then there would be an adjudication by three ; but so it was by the present system, and be saw no reason to alter that for a system which was not better, and might be worse. Then it ought to be considered that the adjudi cation of bankruptcy was made ex-parte ; but by the pre sent system the party might appear to theViee-Chancellor, or, more properly speaking, to the Lord Chancellor ; and what was the result ? The appeals were heard by the Vice-Chancellor immediately ; for every thing else gave way to them. By the proposed system the appeal was to be to a Court of Review, consisting of three of the su perior Judges. Now, he appealed to their Lordships whe ther that Court would constitute a better tribunal for the purpose than that of the Vice• Chancellor ; and if it was not better, where was the occasion for this change? Then as to the state of the law on this subject—if a man was declared bankrupt, he might at present bring his action. When a man was adjudged a bankrupt, he was, by an ex parte decision, divested of the whole of his property ; but be had the power to bring the question for trial into a Court of Law ; and he might bring it in the highest Courts—in the Court of King's Bench, where he would have the opinion of the Chief Justice of England. This was the state of the law at present. If he should be de clared bankrupt ex-parte, he might bring his action against the messenger, or any one who meddled with his property; and be could call on the Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench to give his opinion on the question, and to adjudge it ; and he might have the assistance of the ablest scholars and advocates to conduct his cause. Now, it was not an advantage, but a great disadvantage, to deprive the subject of this remedy.—(Hear, hear.) Then what did his Noble and Learned Friend substitute for this ? He proposed to send an issue of fact to be tried by a Judge. Why an issue of fact ? Why not an issue of fact or of law ? Why was it to be tried, in the last resort, before the new Court of Review, instead of before the highest tribunals in the country ? Suppose he were anxious to try the question before the Chief Jus tice, he could not, by the new system, have that advan tage, but must be contented with this new Court of Re view. This was not an improvement, but the contrary. But he had another objection to this part of the plan. The party wishing to try the question was to be obliged to give security for costs. So that, when a man of very great wealth should be deprived of the whole of his pro perty, he could not get the question tried in the Court of Review without giving security for costs. Security, by whom ? By a man who bad been previously stripped of the whole of his property—security by a man who had been deprived of all the means of giving security. This was no improvement, but the reverse. Another circum stance to be considered, was one which he ought to have mentioned before, but had forgotten it. The two main points to be adjudicated by the Commissioners were the bankruptcy and the proof of debts. He did not see hew this could be better done by his system than it was done by the present Commissioners. Suppose a question of sr count to arise in a cause in the Court of Kings 13 1'ne'!' ~,ne description of the what sort of persons would be there selected in the account?
