MASONIC SOLEMNITY.—An interesting event to the Ma anal,: fraternity took place on Saturday last, which on every ac !ount cannot fail to be most gratifying to the craft. His Royal Ilighness the Duke of YORK having graciously intimated his desire of being advanced to the degree of the Royal Arch, a 'Pecial Grand Chapter was convened for the purpose by com- Mend of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, G. M. of ) Freemasons in England. Most of the Grand Officers attended, every one being anxious to express to his Royal Highness the Duke of York the sense that was entertained both of his lioyal Highness's condescension, and of the advantage which would ensue to Masonry from this signal proof of his Royal High- Xess's regard for the Institution, and of his increased approba tion of the conduct and principles of Bri tish Masons. His Royal Highness was received at five o'clock in Freemasons' }tall (which had been expressly fitted up for the occasion) by the Grand Master anti Officers, with every suitable acknowledg 'merit; and after undergoing the accustomed solemnities, his i tnYal Highness was invested by his Royal Brother with a highly valuable jewel, a present from the G rand Cha p ter of , ngland in commemoration of this i nterestin g event. The 'tight Hon. Viscount Duncan, Past Grand Master of Scotland, was afterwards introduced, and admitted to the same degree, and the business of the Chapter was closed. Their Royal H igh- Il t e s B es, accompanied by the Grand Officers, then proceeded to the glee room, where a splendid banquet was prepared ; and after an evening of true conviviality and harmony, their Royal Highnesses retired at ten o'clock, amidst the plaudits of the tnlnpany, leaving the Deputy Grand Master, Lord nuncios, in the Chair. Among the Brethren assembled were the follow ing Noblemen and distinguished Masonic characters :—The Duke of Leinster ; Earls of Rosslyn, Donoughmore ' and King ttOn ; Viscount Duncan ; Lords Dundas and Mountford ; Hon. V. Shirley, Sir M. W. Ridley, M.P., Mr. Lambton, M.P., Williams, Esq. M.P., .J. Ramsbottom, Esq M .P., Col. Wildman, Colonel Ty nte, M.P., Sir W. Rawlins, Colonel liamilton Rev. G. A. Browne, W. W ix, Es q ., Messrs. Agar, HarPer,White, and other Grand Officers of the Fraternity. PUCE OF STOCKS TIIIS Batik Stock 3 per Cent. Red. per Cent. Cons 93i 3 3& per Cent. &Auto Red 4 r I)imstl.

'MEM OUTS DICERE AI7hEAT LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 9A , 1825 The Paris Papers of Monday which arrived last night do not contain any political news of 'mportance. It would seem, however, by the Con tinual departure of e xtraordinary messengers from Paris to Vienna and other continental Courts, that some negociations are pending in the French capital. 'German Papers arrived this morning, from Which we extract the following articles lIILDBURGHAUSEN, MARCH 5. The Ministers of Gotha, Coburg, and 3leinengen, who as teutled here on the 28th February, to deliberate on the MCA- sures to be adopted for the administration of the Principalities of Gotha and Altenburgh, left us again on the 2d, haying already completed their operations. SWITZERLAND, MARCH 11. The little Council of Zurich, in its Sitting of the Bth of this month, decided on the important measure of the formation of a new road to Lucerne, instead of that by the Albis, which is as fatiguing asdangerous in winter. The plan for the new road, which has been approved, presents hardly any aclivity, and is such that the facilities afforded by the nature of the soil will amply com pensate the inconvenience of its being a little longer. TRIESTE, Manx)" 5. Trieste and the whole valley continue to enjoy the finest weather ; the crops are in the finest condition, and promise for the next harvest a great quantity, but not in value, for corn, especially wheat, daily falls in price, and the stock is so great that there is no demand except for daily consumption. Our city has procured a supply of 64,000 stari from Italy, which is already in the magazine. Wine is equally low in price, but the price of silk has risen very much within these few weeks. It is unfortunate that most of the cultivators were obliged, by the low prices of their wines, to part with their silk at a time when it was ex tremely depreciated in value. The late rise, however, gives them great hopes for the next season. SWITZERLAND, MARCH 9. Towards the end of February, the new-fallen snow lay three feet deep in the streets of Coirl, and in the upper valleys of the Grisons it was in immense quantities : houses were crushed beneath the enormous weight of the masses that covered them. It was with great difficulty that the principal roads were kept open, but the Sittings of the Court of Appeal were interrupted for fuur days. On the first and second Ava lanches began to fall. In Brittogau two men were buried, but recovered. On the second fourteen men clearing a road near the village of Vallendas, were surprised by an Avalanche; it broke the thigh of one, and carried five others into the abyss below, whence they were dug up dead the same day.—(Fratte , - fora Papers, Marchl7.) TURIN, MArtcx 12. It has been ordered by a Sovereign resolution of his Majesty the Emperor of Austria, that the loan made by the merchants of Venice of 1805 shall be paid. The claims arising from this loan shall be liquidated and paid, without any distinction between Austrian subjects and foreigners. An article from Naples of the 28th February corrects a state ment of the Minister, of 7th of the same month, which says, " The Vesuvius, a new ship of the line, was launched at Naples the 9th January, and the Government pays great atten tion to strenghen its marine, which the frequent depredations of the Barbary pirates obliges it to do." The Vesuvius, of 84 guns, was launched 2d December at Castloamere, and there has not been the slightest difference with the Barbary States since the conclusion of the Treaties in 1818, so that there is no reason to increase the Navy on their account. His Majesty's Consuls reside at Tunis and Tripoli, and are well respected.—( Ptedmontese Gazette, March 12.) A Flanders Mail has also arrived. The fol owing are its principal contents : AUGSBURG, MARCH 17. Letters from Trieste say, that by the latest accounts from the Archipelago nothing remarkable has occurred there. The sea is entirely open, for no armed vessels, Greek, Turkish, or Egyp tian, are to be seen. The principal squadron of the Greeks is at Hydra, in which port great preparations arc making for the next campaign. They are building new ships of war as well as fire ships. The considerable remittances of money, and the con signment of artillery and ammunition, which have been receiv ed from England and Malta, contribute to accelerate these pre cautions. There is a report in circulation that the Porte, desiring to keep the Egyptian troops in its armies, has promised the Pacha of Egypt to acknowledge him as Sovereign of the Pelo ponnesus, as soon as that province shall have been conquered. But it is much doubted whether the Pacha will ever determine to leave the country which he now governs, the remoteness of which renders him in a manner independent of the authority of the Sultan. Accounts from the frontiers of Servia say,that the representa tives of the Pacha of Belgrade against the finnan of the Sultan, - relative to the augmentation of the tribute imposed upon the Servians, have been very ill received at Constantinople. A Tartar, who has arrived at Belgrade, has brought formal or ders to put the firman of the Sultan into immediate execution. BRUSSELS, MARCH 2:2.. We learn that his Majesty has entirely recovered from the indisposition which had given occasion to certain French Jour nals to spread alarming reports. It is believed that his Majesty will very shortly give public audience. Every day makes known fresh gifts for the sufferers by the inundations. The Northern and Southern provinces have been equally eager to shew their zeal and beneficence on this great occasion.—lt is probable that according to the general wish the official list of the public subscriptions and private donations will be printed. An observatory Is going to be erected here, and it will be placed, as we hear, on the highest spot between the Namur and Hal gates. FRANKFORT, MARCH 16. The late Director of the Police at Cassel, M. Manger, is still in solitary confinement in the fortress of Spangenburg, as well as M. Wiedemuth, Ex-Secretary-General to M. Urbain, an Officer of Police, and SONIC other persons. The Com mittee appointed to examine into the charges proceeds very slowly, because it has to collect information from so many different quarters. These Commissioners lately passed some weeks at Spangenburg, whence it has returned to Cassel. Every thing relative to this strange affair is conducted with profound secresy.—(Brussels Papers, March 23.) The Vansittart Indiaman, DALRYMPLE, from London to Bombay and China, was spoken with on the 3d of February in lat. 2. N. long. 24. W., hating the staff of his Majesty's 98th foot on board, proceeding to the Cape of Good Hope, having left the Downs the Bth of January, and passes',` Madena on the 21st; they had fine weather. INDIA..-It appears by recent letters from India, that Lord AMHEaST is in very bad health — That Sir THOMAS MUNRO does not intend to proceed to Europe, in consequence of the present state of affairs, and that RUNJEET SINGH has shewn a very hostile disposition towards the Company. WESTAIINSTER MEETING. -'-A Meeting of the inhabitants of Westminster took place this day in Covent Garden, for the purpose of proposing a petition to Parliament for the repeal of the Assessed Taxes ; but as the speakers were not likely to be brief in their harangues, we were obliged to go to press without any satisfactory roport of the probable result of their proceedings. Parliament will adjourn over the Easter lloli days, till the 12th of April. On Monday evening, Mr. LATCHFIELD, the King's Messenger, arrived in town with dis patches fiom our Ambassador at St. Petersburgh. It is reported that a Saloon (100 yards square) of silver ore, which produces fifty per cent. of metal, has been discovered in the Conception Mine, belonging to the Anglo-Mexican Mining Company. A similar Saloon was discovered about twelve years ago in the same mine. There was an arrival of ship-letters yesterday from Jamaica. They were brought from a port on the northern side of the island, and contain no later intelligence than was received by the last packet. Mr. JUDGE, of the Cheltenham Journal, has announced his intention of proceeding at. law against Colonel BERHELEy. $ O OOl. have been subscribed Upwards of 20 here and on the Con tinent for the sufferers by the inundations in Hanover. THE KING'S COURT. Yesterday at one o'clock his MAJESTY arrived at his Palace in Pall-mall in his travelling carriage and four, from his Lodge in Windsor Great Park. The King was re ceived on his arrival by his Equerry and other attendants in waiting. In a short time after his Majesty received a visit from his Royal Brother, the Duke of York. The King afterwards proceeded to hold a Court, which was attended by the Lord Chancellor, the Lord President of the Council, the Lord Privy Seal, the three Secretaries of State for the Home, Foreign, and Colonial Departments, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, the Master-General of the Ordnance, the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster, the President of the Board of Trade, the Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench, the Master of the Horse, the Groom of the Stole, the Treasurer of the House hold, the Duke of Northumberland, the Recorder of London, &c. Mr. Vaughan was presented to the King by Mr. Secre tary Canning, on his return from Switzerland, and on his be ing appointed his Majesty's Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary to the United States of America—The Duke of Northumberland was presented to his Majesty by Mr. Se cretary Canning upon his being appointed to a special mission to the King of France at his coronation.—Mr. George Ricketts was presented upon his being appointed a Judge in India, when he received the honour of Knighthood.—His Majesty held a Privy Council, at which the Duke of Northumberland and Mr. Vaughan were introduced, and sworn in Members, when they took their seats at the Honourable Board according ly. Some alterations were made in the pricked lists of Sheriff's. The Recorder of London was admitted into the presence of the King in Council, and made his report of the thirty convicts capi.• t ally convicted in the Feb. Sessions at the Justice Hall in the Old Bailey. His Majesty gave audiences to the Earl of Harrowby, the Duke of Wellington, the Duke of Dorset, the Duke of Northumberland, Mr. Vaughan, Mr. Secretary Canning, end Mr. Secretary Peel.—The Earl of De la Warr and Sir Hil grove Turner were the Lord and Groom in Waiting. The Court broke up about half-past five o'clock. Soon after his Majesty left town on his return to his Lodge in Windsor Park. FASHIONABLE ARRIVALS.

MR. RAE WILSON, AND A. SUBSCRIBER, AND AMICUS. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Srat—l have not the pleasure of knowing Mr. RAE WILSON, nor have I that of knowing the ingenious gentleman of the elephant's skin; and therefore I may speak impartially of both. Mr. RAE WILSON may be one of those numerous gentlemen who find it difficult to resist those honours which," in this enlightened age," are in variably the perquisite of puffing ; he may also, for any thing I know to the contrary, have less than prudent regard for the venerable science of Grammar : but I cannot help thinking that these charges come with a singularly ill grace from a gentleman who is neither insensible to what merits he possesses, nor so highly in favour with the above named respectable science, as to give him any title to be her Attorney-General. I have not your subscriber's letter before me now ; but, if his MS. was correctly printed, I pledge myself to detect one solecism, at least, in it. And what shall we think of a reprover of self-exaltation, who, to spew that he knows something of Latin, cannot be contented with signing himself " A Subscriber and Friend," but must adopt the Hudibrastic appellation of " A Subscriber and Ardicus ?" Mr. RAE WILSON has indeed a for midable foe. Since this gentleman can construe Latin, let him digest this : " Quis tulerit Gracchos de seditione querentes ?" Your obedient servant, MC. • SoANE'sEum.—Last night this trea sury of rare Antiquities, in Lincoln's-inn-fields, was opened to the friends of the liberal Proprie tor. The chief object of attention was the cele brated SARCOPIIAGUS discovered in Egypt by the late enterprising and lamented BELZONI, arid de posited in the British Museum. It has since been purchased by Mr. SOANE, at the expence of 2,000 guineas. It was also attended with considerable expence to remove it to his own house, where its magnitude rendered it necessary to break open a passage for its reception. Its antiquity it is im possible to ascertain,but the most probable estimate places it. at a distance of 3000 years. It is formed of transparent Alabaster, in shape resembling the coffins of this country, and covered inside and without with hieroglyphics, which at pre sent are inscrutable, except in the human forms, apparently engaged in public ceremonies, religious rites, or domestic avocations. This extraordinary relique, which, by the tasteful munificence of Mr. SOANE, is preserved to this country, was of course one of the chief objects of attention, but as the various rooms, in his elegant and spa cious mansion abound with ancient and va luable sculpture, as well as ,with the gra phic productions of modern genius, among which are some of the most admired works of the immortal IIoGARTH, the company en joyed a varied and splendid treat for many hours. Sir JOSEPH YORKE, Sir WILLIAM CUR• TIS, Mr. HuittE, Sir Tiros. LAWRENCE, Sir Was. BEECHEY, Messrs. SIIEIt, HOWARD, TURNER, WESTMACOTT, SMIRK, SASS, and many other eminent Artists were present. The Rooms were also visited by many elegant and beautiful fe males ; refreshments were amply provided, and the company were obviously highly gratified with this scene of classic revelry, which it is to be hoped will remain where it is, as a lasting monu ment of private liberality, under the direction of taste, and one of the proudest ornaments of the British Metropolis, the Emporium of the World. SWEDISH DIVING COMPANT.—The following letter dated Gottenburgh, March 15, has been addressed to JOHN BIiNNETT, Esq., Secretary at Lloyd's : " Sin—ln reply to your letter of the 4th inst., I beg to ac quaint you that a recant arrangement has been effected by Sir Benjamin Bloomfield with the Swedish Government, by which British shipping are placed on the same footing as Swedish, with regard to the Diving Company. (signed) " J. R. WISE, " His Britannic Majesty's Consul-General." OUR ENGLISH VISITERS.-The Members of the British Parliament, Messrs. Stanley, Denison, Wortley ' and Labouchere, at present and so me t ime pa s t on a visit in the United States, are still in Washington city. These gentle. men have made the tour of the Union, and, we understand, are much pleased with the country. It is to be hoped that their representations, on their return to England, will tend to dissi pate the falsehoods circulated by ignorant or malicious travellers with regard to the American People and their institutions ; and we trust the example of this visit by distinguished persons will be followed by others of a similar character. By this means prejudices will be worn away, and the two nations will be brought to a more intimate and accurate knowledge of each other. Al though of the first families in England, these visiters have con ducted themselves in their intercourse with society, in the most unostentatious manner ; and to see and converse with them, one might be persuaded that they are among the most easy, sociable, and unobtrusive persons of the republic. They will, we are in formed, remain in Washington until the inauguration on the 4th of Mardi next.—( Washington Gazette. ) MANSION-HousE.—Yesterday l'nomAs PAT.. mr.R, a son of PALMER, the late celebrated Comedian of that name, was brought up on the following charge :—Mr. Wright, of Bush-lane, packer, stated that the prisoner's wife had lived with him some time as a servant; and that the prisoner, during the time, repeatedly came to his house, demanding to see her, a nd conducted himself in such a violent manner as to annoy the whole family. Mr. W. at length threatened to send for an Officer; but, on the prisoner promising not to offend again, he suffered him to depart. Tuesday night on his (Mr. W.'s) return home, he found the prisoner laying in the passage lead ing to his house, with his throat cut; a watchman conveyed him to the watchhouse, where his wound was properly dressed. Mr, W. stated, that he had that morning discharged the prisoner', wife from his service, to prevent his being again annoyed by the prisoner. The prisoner, in defence, stated that for the last two years he had been in the greatest possible distress. His sister, during her lifetime, allowed him 1501. a year; but since her death, he has been altogether destitute. Shortly after his fa ther's death, there was a Performance at one of the Theatres for the benefit of the family ; but they never received a farthing of it. He was willing to work, if he could get any employment.— Ills landlady stated, that the prisoner had lived with her nearly two years ; and that during that time she had mainly contri buted to support him. The Lord Mayor said, that he regretted seeing a person like the prisoner in such an unfortunate situa tion ; but no distress, however great, could justify the rash at tempt he had made on his own life. His Lordship then gave him money to relieve his immediate necessity ; and requested to be furnished with his address, which the prisoner handed in.— He was then ordered to be taken to the hospital, and kept there until his wound is healed; and was recommended to apply to the parish officers on his recovery- Mr. NV., at the request of the Lord May or, a g reed td retake. the p risoner's wife into his sery ice, on the pris oner pledging, himself not to come there again. B oxEß g n __A giant from Yorkshire, has given the Londoners notice, that in a week he will show himself in the ring, to con test the championship for his own money. ,'• . - .i."0 ..i N,-..,, 5 , • : twl;.-:,„ - , A),, r-,,. . ‘ e t tkp'''' ..,,w, , ..-.;''...- '- -- cfs.l 4 :-... , -" - ` - '1,,.

Peters, Esq., had a grand dinner' party yesterday, at his house in Park-street; Grosvenor-square. Sir Gore Ousley, Baronet, had a grand dinner party yester day at his house in York -street, St. James's. In the evening her Ladyship entertained an elegant circle of fashionables. • The Concert at Sir George Warrender's on Tuesday evening was numerously and fashionably attended. The Orchestra was composed of the Pupils of the Royal Academy of Music. Few of the company had ever heard the Children perform, and they were no less delighted than surprised. The Finale to the first act of " Tancredi" being encored, is sufficient to prove the ex- cellence of the Vocal part of the Concert, and the Instrumental portion was fully equal to it. Among the company present were, the Duke of Wellington, Earl and Countess of Darnley, Marquis and Marchioness of Downshire, Countess of Sandwich, Earl and Countess of Liverpool, Lord and Lady Melville, Countess of Morley, Prince and:Princess Polignac, Countess of Athlone, Listowel, and St. Antonio, Earl of Westmoreland, Lord and Lady Cawdor, Marquis of Graham, Earl and Countess of Ye rulam, Mr. and Mrs. Foster, Lord Howard de Walden, Lady Gwydyr Lord and Lady C.

PARR.—The remains of this eminent man and profound'scholar, have been consigned to the earth with the respect and solemnities due to his name, in a vault prepared for their reception in Hatton Church. The funeral procession, which presented a most solemn appearance, was, in its progress from the Parsonage House to Hatton Church, accompanied by a considerable number of spectators. The Rev. Dr. Butler, Vicar of Kenilworth, in his robes, pre ceded the body, which followed immediately after, borne on the_ shoulders of six men, and the pall supported by six Clergy men ; next followed nearly forty Gentlemen, principally Cergymen of the surrounding parishes, some of the inhabi tants of his own Parish, and the Medical Gentlemen who attended him during his illness, of his own, and Mrs. Parr's relations, and a number of Dissenters from the Church of Eng land, who though not invited, were desirous of testifying their respect for the deceased. The proceeded slowly to the Church, where Prayers were read by the Rev. Alr.Kennedy, of Birming ham, and a most effective and impressiv e S ermon was preac h e d by the Rev. Dr. Butler; appropr iate hymns were sung during the Service and the Church, a part of which was hung with black, was darkened and lighted with chandeliers. There was not a tearless eye visible, all being convinced they had lost a kind patron, a benevolent pastor, a worthy master, or a sincere friend. The Church was thronged. E A RLY Society has been RISING CLUB. --A formed at Mon treal under this title, who se professed object i s t h e p r eservation of health.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, Maraca 23. REAL DEL MONTE MlNE.—KrxDxst v. TAYLOR. The LORD CHANCELLOR took hisseat on the bench, and was attended by Lord Lauderdale, who sat on his right hand during the discussion of this case. Mr. SHADWELL said it was right for him to Inform his Lordship, as Counsel for the defendant, that since this case had been before his Lordship, the defendant had been advised to file a demurrer on two grounds—the one a general ground for want of equity, and the other for want of parties. Ile was quite sure, when his Lordship heard the statement the Counsel had to make, he would be sa tified justice could not be done without having before the Court the persons who formed the Company. It would be recollected that Mr. Kinder had prayed the dissolution of the Company—that was a prayer striking at the rights of all the parties. There was nothing in the terms of the deed • which had been made the subject of his Lordship's comment, giving the power of such dissolution to the Court ; there was no stipulation to that effect. It was alleged by the Bill that the plaintiff did not know who the persons were who constituted this partnership. He apprehended that every allegation in the • Bill must he taken with regard to the circumstances of the case; and if it appeared from the very nature of the case Mr. Kinder must have known — The LORD CHANCELLOR, interrupting the Learned Coun sel, asked him whether he had not better give him a statement of what the bill contained ? Mr. BICRERSTETH then opened the bill, by stating, sn detail, the names of the parties and the prayer, the general scope of which was, that the contract entered into by the de fendants, for the disunion of the Real del Monte Mine from the other Mines belonging to the original Company, might he declared void ; that the defendant Taylor, and the other defendants, might be ordered to assign such shares in the Del Monte Mine as the plaintiff was entitled to; that the attempt to deprive the plaintiff of his share might be considered. as fraudulent, and contrary to good faith ; and that, if neces sary, the Real del Monte Company might be dissolved. Mr. WALKER said, he understood a demurrer was put in, bat he did not know whether his Lordship would go on with the demurer in the first instance. The LORD CHANCELLOR repeated that lie wanted to have the bill stated. The SOLICIToiI-GICNERAL said, lie knew nothing of the demurrer. He had no doubt he should satisfy his . Lordship that this company was not within the operation of the statute of 6th George I. Mr. SHADWELL observed, that notice had been given, a de murrer would be filed. The LOUD CHANCELLOR was of opinion the demurrer might be material on the argument for the injunction ; for one question was, whether, if this was a Company to wich the Court could not apply the law, such an objection would not be an answer to any argument in favour of its validity. Mr. SuonEN stated, that this would be found to be pre , cisely such a case as that of the Life Assurance Company. His Lordship, in that case, had heard the demurrer first, and had never heard the argument. If the same course was pursued upon the present occasion, no question but it would lead to the same conclusion. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it would be the better way to state the demurrer. Mr. HEALD remarked that lie could not consent to take that course. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Then go on with the motion. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the first and most material point for which he had to contend was, that this was a Com pany which did not fall within the provisions of the 6th Geo. 1.. The LORD CHANCELLOR intimated that, although that was one point, it did not therefore follow that this was an Asso ciation that would be maintained. The SOLICIToR-GENERAL then proceeded to state the facts of the case as they were alleged in the Bill. The Loan CHANCELLOR desired that previous to his going generally into the subject, to know how many shareholders there were, and what was the nature of the contracts referred to in the deed settled between these parties. Mr. SHADWELL said, there were 122 shareholders, that these were 500 shares, of which 498 had been disposed of—two share& having been reserved for a particular purpose. The LORD CHANCELLOR observed, that the copy of the deed which had been handed up to him, afforded him no infor mation as to the names of the persons who had signed the deed... The words in the copy were, we whose names are hereunder . written," but as the names were not enumerated in the copy he had, it would be necessary lie should see the original. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL hoped every thing would have been furnished his Lordship which would have been considered necessary. His statement with reference to the deed would be-• infinitely more compendious on account of his Lotdship having himself carefully perused and considered its contents. The learn ed Solicitor then entered fully into his argument upon the case he had to present on the part of the plaintiff. In contending that this Society was so constituted as to be excluded from the stat. 6 Geo I. or Bubble Act, he cited a number of cases, and argued the question of law applicable to the subject, in a man ner too diffuse to make it possible to do justice to his arguments without giving the whole of them, and it is for this reason we shall continue to pursue that course with which we noticed the commencement of this proceeding on a former day, by re serving ourselves for a compressed, plain, and distinct view of the arguments of Counsel generally, adding to such statement a complete report of the judgment and opinion of the Lord Chancellor. The Learned Solicitor continued his argument till between twelve and one o'clock, when the further hearing was adjourned in consequence of his Lordship having to attend to hear the Re ,3 corder's Report.
