s tances, and increasing them in others. The c hief purpose of the law, however, seems to be the encouragement: of lonian - shipping, and the securing to the inhabitants of the lonian States all the advantages of the coasting trade in their respective islands, and of the trade carried on between island and island. Oil and currants, which may be called the staple commo dities of these islands, are permitted to be ex- Ported - duty free. A wiser system of Govern- Iraent seems to dawn upon the lonian Islands, and vre trust will remove any unfavourable im pression a former less enlightened policy might leave made. The increased activity given to agricultural pursuits by the removal of the duties on the exportati'on of oil and currants induces us to hope.the most beneficial results from this wise and no less equitable measure. 3 ' The Gazette of Corfu contains a rem ar k a b le law, JuLT passed in the second Session of the second Parliament of the lonian Islands, entitled, " Act of Parliament for the gradual Aboli tion of Feudal Tenures. PREAMBLE.—" It being one of the principal objects of the Govanon ernment to e ncourage a c i gricult ure, and experience having strated that one of the greatest impediments to its pro greas is the existence of property rendered inalienable by means of feudal restrictions, therefore, with a view to pia an end to this evil, increasing at the same time the prosperity of the State and of private person?, by authority of his Excellency the Pre sident and of the Most Illustrious Senate, with the assent and advice of the most noble Legislative Assembly of the lonian Islands, in this second Session of the second Parliament, and 'with the approbation of his Excellency the Lord High Corn. zliasioner of the Sovereign Protector, it is ordained and enacted as follows." The law itself, in seven short articles, provides for the aboli tine, and partly immediate, p art l y gradual, of all feudal tenwres et restrictions hindering or impeding the alienation of landed Ile 'PettY• It is dated Corfu, 28th May, 1825.

C 011111441 law Courts the case is seta down to he tried either at Nisi Print or tile Assizes,' where the facts are proved before a single Judge. In 15 out of every 20 cases the parties are satis fied with the verdict thus obtained, and the Courts are no more troubled with it ; the victori ous party works the rest of the case by the pro cess of the Court, and thus justice is done with tolerable speed, and not very heavy ex pences. In the other five cases, where the parties are not satisfied with the verdict of one Judge, the case comes before the Court Term on a motion for a new trial, ar gument on a special verdict, or special case, and thus the whole matter in dispute between the parties is placed directly before the Judges, divested of all extraneous matter, and unincum tiered with statements which would only distract the attention of the Judges from the real point at issue, and not assist them in deciding it. The judgment is given either at the conclusion of the argument, or at a future day, and the case is thus set at rest in that Court for ever. Thus also, points collaterally arising out of the case as demurrers, motions from documents, changing the venue, &C. are disposed of. We think the appli cation of this machinery with some little modifi cation, would effect every useful purpose in our Courts of Equity ; viz. expedite the cause, and most materially diminish the expenses. Let the VICE CHANCELLOR and MASTER of the Roans take the office in Equity of the Judge at Nisi Prius and at the Assizes at common law, and decide only between the parties in such causes as are ready for hearing. The Loan CHANCELLOR taking upon himself simply the duty of the Courts of Common Law in term, viz. that of reviewing the judgments of the Vice and Rolls Courts which are brought before him, and hearing motions springing collaterally out of any untie brought in the Court of Chancery. For this purpose the bill and answer, and all the usual routine of the business might be carried on as heretofore, until sonic method could be adopt ed to simplify these modes, under the directions of the Cotnmissioners naw sitting. When the cause was ready, it should be set down for hearing before either the MASTER of the Rom.s or the VICE-CHANCELLOR, at the election of the suitor. The party not satisfied with the judgment of the Vice or Rolls Court, might ap peal to the LORD CHANCELLOR, making it, how ever, imperative upon him to state distinctly the point on which the Vice or Rolls Court decided below, and requiring merely an affirmance or re versal of that judgment on that particular point. If this plan were adopted, there would be hopes of getting a cause to a hearing in a reason able time, and thus very many of the heavy motions the LORD CHANCELLOR is now called upon to decide would not be made at all, although the same point might eventually find its way be fore him on appeal. But that would not always be the case, and even where it did, he would have , the opinion of the Judge who had previously de cided it to guide his own. Again, motions for dissolving injunctions would also be greatly re duced, because, as the same object would be gained on the hearing of the cause, if there was a prospect of getting th e cause t o a h ear i ng in any thing like the same time as the getting the - motion, made before the LORD CHANCELLOR, the parties would not put themselves to the expence of that motion, but await the final hearing of the case. By these means also the CHANCELLOR would never be obliged to decide a cause upon a motion as he now very often must do. This plan appears to us fully adequate to the evil complained of, and very easy to be adopted and brought into use, it infringes on no one's right, it interferes with none of the privileges of the suitors, and we confess seems every way calculated to promote expedi tion and economy in the administration of justice.

The children shall continue to attend the schools until their Clergyman certify that they have at tained the. knowledge necessary for every rea sonable man in their condition of life. The discipline in the schools can never be carried so far as ill-treatment, which may affect the health of the children, even in an indirect or re mote manner. Punishments within these bounds do not subject the masters to the charge of ill treatment ; but if the master has exceeded these just limits (without the child being really wounded), the provincial authority shall punish the master according to the established laws of discipline ; but if the child has been really wounded by an abuse of the right lof chastise ment, the master shall be punished by the tri bunals, according to the existing laws.

[Prom the Dublin Morning Post of Monday.] It was generally rumoured in the fashionable circles on Saturday, that this distinguished individual would honour the theatre with his presence in the evening. Many a' fleet messenger spread abroad the intelligence, and the theatre was filled with beauty and fashion. During the first and se cond acts, the curiosity of the audience was confined to sig nificant ' " Nods and becks and wreathed smiles," which could not be mistaken ; but at length the name of " Sir Walter Scott" echoed from every part of the theatre, and the clamour became truly deafening. Sir Walter, who sat as if to escape observation, on a third seat, in one of the boxes un der the galleries, accompanied by his son, Captain Scott, and a party of Ladies and Gentlemen, did not at first appear to com prehend what all this applause was about, and assisted in it by clapping his hands. But soon all the thunders of the pit ascended ; every hat was doffed ; every back was turned to the stage • not even a word from the performers could be heard ; even the fascinations of Miss Foote failed in attracting. " As in a Theatre the eyes of men, After a well-graced actor leaves the stage, Are idly bent on him that next appears, Even so" was she, " the observed of all observers," obliged to leave the stage unnoticed, and for the moment wholly disregarded. Mr. Abbott now came forward, and said " Gentlemen, might I ask, what can be the cause of this disturbance Sir Walter Scott, Sir Walter Scott," was shouted forth by a hundred voices at once. This exclamation caused'a burst of laughter, in which Sir Walter himself heartily joined. He then arose amid the most vehement applause; all darted their desiring eyes upon his visage, whilst he spoke nearly as follows : , " Gentlemen, I thank you ; as I am not conscious of having merited this kindness. I was not until this' moment aware I was the object of it. Believe me, Gentlemen, I can never be for. getful of the honour you have done me." Sir Walter then sat down, whilst loud applauses filled the entire Theatre. The Play then proceeded with an occasional slight interruption, caused by the anxiety of those in the gallery to get a sight of the " Great Unknown."—lt stlould not lie forgotten that the only airs played by the orchestra the entire evening were those of " Bonnie Scotland."—Vi'hilit. Sir Walter was leaving the theatre, which was at the, conclusion of the first act of Clari the applause was renewed, and even the populace assembled outside the theatre cheered him 'on enter ing his carriage. —In the course of the evening them was a cheer for Thomas Moore, whose parents sat in the next box to Sir Walter. ( From the Freeman's Journal ) Sir Walter Scott visited St. Patrick's Cathedral on Satur. day, and spent some time at the monument of Swift, within its walls—from thence he proceeded to the Deanerv-heup, where, amongst other objects of attraction, the full-lengt!: por trait of the Dean attracted his particular notice. He would have gone on to the Archiepiscopal Palace, but this ancient and once splendid edifice, he was told, has been transformed into a Police Barrack ! Dr. Marsh's library, however, which lies contiguous to the Deanery, the Palace, and the Cathedral, was next visited, and here he passed a considerable time, ex. amining the treasures of this depository of learning. He ex pressed himself much pleased with some annotations by Sw:t, in a copy of" Bishop Burnett's History of his own Times."— Sir Walter goes to the College Library to-day (Monday) at one o'clock, and partakes of a tiejeune at the Provost's house, whose attentions have been polite, unceasing, and apparently very gratifying to the celebrated stranger since his arrival. He paid a visit of condolence on Saturday to the widow of the late Mr. Maturin, (whose MS. it will be recollected he some time since offered to edit and publish,' for the benefit of the. family) ; and he was himself visited by the Attorney- General, who invited him to his seat at Old Connaught, near Bray, where it is expected he will pass a day before he leaves the country. The Baronet dines to-morrow with Mr. Welds Hartstonge, who entertains a select party to meet him. The Vicar of a Commune in the Canton of Blois, after having read from the pulpit a man date from the Bishop of his Diocese, directing prayers and thanksgivings to be offered on ac count of the King's Coronation, is said to have adthessed his Parishioners in the following man ner, which is not., a bad sample of Catholic hu mtli Ey : • " My dear Brethren, as Charies)C., is not a Christian,, but wishes to maintain the Charter, which is an act againstpligion, we must not pray for him, any more than for Louis XVIII.; who was the founder of that Charter. Thei.are both.damned. Let those who are of my opinion stand up.' About two or three hundred individuals stood up, hut the conduct of the Vicar having reached the knowledge of the' Bishop of the Diocese, the of fending individual was immediately suspended.— (French Paper.) EARTHQUAKE AT ALGIERS.—OIb the 2d of this month a violent earthquake was felt at Algiers. There were repeated shocks for several successive days.
