COURT OF CHANCERY, APRIL m The LORD CHANCELLOR came to Westminster Hall, accompanied by the Judges of the various courts, in the customary form. Ater partly hearing a motion which is likely to occupy several days, his LORDSHIP, at the rising of the court, pronounced judgment In SCOTT V SALMOND. His LORDSHIP athimed the ch-cision of the Mas ter of the Rolls, against which this appeal was brought. SHERRET V. SHBRRET. The question in this case arose upon the con struction of a will, in which the testator disposed of his property in freeholds, and leaseholds for lives, and also leaseholds for years, accurately distinguish ing his real from his personal property by proper and usual and expressions. The question was, what part of the property was charged with certain pay ments directed by the testator to be made, without expressly pointing out the source from which they were to be derived. The opinion of the Court was, that he freeholds and leaseholds for life were not charged, and his Lordship, therefore, decreed ac coroingly, leaving, however, the cos's to be borne in the same mariner as was directed by the Mister of the Roll,. PHILLIPS V. MATTHEWS. In this appeal hi, Lordship nfli,rued the order of the Court below, and dismissed the petition, with costs. IN RE RIPON SCHOOL. In this case alAn the p 'add, diqmisqed, and the order of the VICE CHANCELLOR affirmed. His LORDSHIP should not sit in this Court on Si turday next, having on that day to attend the hear ing of an appeal before the Privy Council. He should, however, sit here on every other day in the week. ROLLS' COURT, APRIL 15. His Honour the MASTER of the ROLLS took his seat in Court at twenty minutes to i wo, and occu pied himself with pe•itions till four o'clock. BERESFORD V. ARMAGH. This was a question of construction, which de pended on the me►ning to be attached by the Court to the word " sterling" as used in the will of the late Marquis of Waterford, who charged his real es tates in Ireland with a sum of 50,0001. for the be nefit of his children. His HoNout held that as the testator had used the term throughout his will indiscriminately with reference to Irish and English currency, the sum should be considered as payable in the currency of that country where the will was made, where the property was situate, and where the Marquis him self at the time of making his will was domiciled. In the course of the sitting Messrs. D. Pollock, Blrickburne,Mdule, and Gourtenay, were, in the usual form, introduced to the Court as King's Counsel. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT, APRIL 15 GOUT V. ALEPLOGPLN, lIAMPSON, AND OTHERS. Mr. KNIGHT moved for an injunction in this case to restrain the defendants from imitating certain watches made by the plaintiff for the Turkish mar ket,or from sending any of them out of the country for sale. The plaintiff had for a number of years ex ported to a great extent a particular kind of watch, manufactured chiefly for the markets at Constanti nople arid the Levant, and upon the dial-plate of each had inscribed the word " pesendede " in Turkish characters, corresponding in that language with the English word " warrawed." This the plaintiff had caused to be written immediately under his name. Two of the defendants applied to Messrs. Parkinson and Frodsham, of Change-alley, (who had been made defendants to this suit), to make IS watches, imitating in every particular the watches made by the plaintiff, and making use of the word " pesendede," which the plaintiff alleged would operate very much to his injury in the foreign market. The VICE-CHANCELLOR granted the injunction. COURT OF EXCHEQUER, APRIL 15. Me , srs. David Pollock, Courtenay, Blackburne, and Maule having been appointed King's Counsel, severally took their seats wi , hin the bar. STALEY V. HUNT. Mr. WI6IITMAN, on behalf of the plaintiff, moved to set aside the verdict given for the defendant in this cause, which was tried before Mr. Baron Bohand at the ,ittings after last Hilary Term, at Guildhall. The action was on a bill of exchange for HU. 195., dated Mry, 1831, and drawn by Mr. Burton on Mr. H. Hunt, the ex-member for Preston, for blacking-bottles supplied by Burton, who endorsed the bill to the plaintiff.—Rule nisi granted. ELECTION OF A LECTURER OF ST. ANDRFW, HOLBORN.—On Stturday afternoon, the polling having closed, Mr. AMSTRONG, the Churchwarden, announced th • final state ot the gross poll to be as follows :—Rev. Dr. BURTON, 459 ; Rev. Mr. GIBSON, 303 ; Rev. Mr. M'Cartliy, 219. The Rev. Dr. BURTON was then de• dared duly elected. CHlLL—lntelligence has been received from Valparaiso to the 7th ot November last, at which time a convention was in sessi .n, discussing the plan of a new form of government. JUAN DE VIAL DEL Rio was Pre sident, and S TRAvazanat., Vice-Piesident. Among the most prominent ot the provisions reported by a com mittee that had b en appointed to draught the form of the proposed constitution was the followini„, which seems to have sprung from the anticipated apprehensions of the • doctrines of nullification and state rights ar ticle says ‘. the sovereignty resides essentially in the people, who delegate its exercise in the authorities which are rsta hlis by this constitution. No other person, or body of persons, may assume the title ot representation of the people, nor abrogate their deem ees, nor petition in their H one. The infraction of this article is sedition."..--IV"v York Paper. LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING. APRIL 16, 1833. EAST INDIA HOUSE, APRIL 15. (Continued from our Paper of yesterday.) Sir JOHN MALCOLM, in continuation, s a id, b e would now read an extract from a speech that had been made within those walls in the year 1813, when proposi tions had been made by the Government which were after wards considerably modified, and when the Court of Pro. prietors made a stand against the Court of Directors which did tbetn immortal honour.—(Cheers.) A PROPRIETOR inquired who the speaker was. Sir J. MALcoLM observed, that it was Mr. Robert Grant.—(Hear, hear.) That gentleman had stated, that he did not mean to say that Government would entertain a deliberate and systematic design to annihilate the Coin. pany ; but it was in the nature of things for foes to be in croaching, and if the plan proposed was to be put in force, it was pet f,ctly easy to see what would lie its termination. Left in the possession of all their political functions, but stript of the means which they possessed for th.-- exercise of these very functions, they would at length be compelled to resign every thing without a struggle, and have the inexpressible comfort of heirs told it was a voluntary surrender. They would he check mated with all their pieces on the Board.—(Cheers.) Such were the words of Mr. Robert Grant. He would now come to that part of the correspondence, in which the President of the LHha Board proposed an alteration wish . . respect to the Court of Proprietors. He could not un derstand, under the proposed plan, what the duties of the Court of Proprietors were to consist of, beyond the mete power of electing the Court of Directors. No doubt that that power was a very serious and important one, and was linked in a Treat degree with the good Government of ndia; but was that, he would ask, ail that was to b, left them of their present rights ? He was sari...fled the Court of Directors in the managem , nt of the political of India _ . had not only the appr.:bation of the Court of Proprietors, but of the pubic at large. He believed they had done all they could to defend the interest of the Prop! ietors, and had been consistently true from their first ne2ociatioo with the Duke of W• Ilington, and that their great and principal object had always been, as it was at that period, to yield to any proposition that would promote the interests and welfare of the Indian empire. The worthy Proprietor then concluded I .y movinit the folio yin resolutions:— " That having attentively considered the correspondence which was laid before the Proprietors on the 25th March, this Court must, in the first place, express their cordial approbation of the conduct ofthe Court of Directors in maintaining with zeal and ability the rights and interests of the East India Company. "'That in reviewing the intimate connexion which has so long subsisted between India and the Company, this Court de _ sires to record their conviction that the Company can have no other object in undertaking the territorial government of that country for a further term, than the advancement of the happi ness and prosperity of our native subjects ; and that if Parlia ment, in its wisdom, should declare that that great object would be best promoted by the continuance of the government in the hands of the Company, divested of their commercial character, the Company would submit to that regulation, provided power be preserved to enable the Company to have their rights ad justed on the principle of a fair and liberal compromise. " That the Company, looking to the present state of the finances of India, are of opinion that it is not reasonable that the Company's assets, commercial and territorial, with all their possessions and rights, should be assigned to the Crown, on the exchange proposed by Ministers of an annuity of 103,6 per cent, for 40 years, except on the following conditions :- Ist. That the sum set apart for the guarantee fund be extended to such an amount as upon reasonable calculation will be suffi cient, with the accumulation during the 40 years, to redeem the annuity, and that, in the event of India failing to remit sufficient funds, the sufficiency should be supplied out of the guarantee fund, that b .ing to be made good by subsequent remittances from India. 2d. That the Company exercising the same power as they now possess shall continue to administer the government of India for not less than twenty years, and that if deprived of it, they should be allowed the option of demanding the payment of the principal, or should be at liberty to resume their right of trading, which it is proposed by Ministers should now be in abeyance. 3d. That all measures involving direct or continued expenditure should originate with the Court of Directors, but be subject to the controul of the Court of Commissioners. 4th. That sufficient power should be retained over the general assets to make suitable provision for out standing commercial obligations, and officers of the Company who might be affected by the arrangement." Sir THOMAS DALLAS seconded the resolution. Si: CHARLES FORBES begged to enter his protest against that part of the resolutions which went to load the natives of India with an annuity to the proprietors of India stock. All the discussions of that Court appeared to him to have in view only the security of the pa}- ment of their dividends.—( Hear, hear, hear.) The Court had been told thata sum of about ten or twelve mil lions was to be appropriated to the payment of the debt. Now he would only ask what were the assets with which the loan was to be paid. Were they commercial or were they territorial ?—(Hear, hear.) If they were commercial why not apply them to their right purposes, if territorial, why not apply them to the discharge of the territorial debts of India?—(Hear, hear.) He trusted that the proprietors would stand upon their right as much as any person who was atta-ked by a highway robber. Was there one among them, he would ask, who would submit to be borne to the earth, and would cry out they could not help themselves?—(Cheers.) He begged the proprietors to push onwards, determined to assert their rights, and he had no doubt they would suc ceed, at least he trusted, they would not be parties to their own dkrace.—(Continued cheers.) Let them keep in view the welfare of the natives of India, which the Government of the country appeared to have thrown entirely aside. The proposed ten and a half per cent. to be levied on the natives of India was making the property a direct drag upon their necks for the 40 years. He believed that the natives of India would not sutimit to such injustice. He earnestly hoped that if it was thrust upon them they would not submit to it. This might be using strong language, but it was honest speaking out, and what many gentlemen thought in that Court, if they would only open their minds. He admitted that the truth ought not always to be stated, but on a question of such vital importance as the present it should not be excluded. Every person present in the Court ought to speak out boldly, declaring his determination to be no party to such an arrangement as that which had been proposed by Ministers. The Hon. Proprietor, who had addressed the Court at such length, hid stated that the question of the China trade he considered as cotn pletely done away with. If that was all the in formation he could give the Court, it would have been much better for him to have said nothing. His (Sir Charles Forbes's) opinion was, that it was not gone, but he thought that Mini.ters, in taking away the management of that trade from the Company who had conducted it so ably, were doing that which the nation would not go along with them in. —(Cheers.) They might be supported by a few men from Glasgow, Liverpool, and Hell—(Cheers) —but the great body of the nation, he felt convinced, would not lend their aid. his Majesty's Ministers, on this question, were acting pre cisely as they had done with regard to reform—they were surfeiting the people. It was one thing to have given to the merchants of the out-ports what they asked for--a free competition in the China market—and another to have brought forward SO sweeping a measure as the present. In the article of tea, he believed it would be much better to have continued the monopoly to the Company. They supplied an excellent article, and at a cheaper rate than private traders could afford to bring it into the mai ket for. Their price was anything but a monopoly price, in the odious acceptation of the term. The Ministry, however. rushed to the furhest extreme, and did nut hesitate to put in hazard neatly four millions of revenue, and a revenue collect. el with the most extreme facility. Wh ,tever the Government might be presumptuous enough to hint, every gentleman in that Court had a right to speak our on this point. Fur what would be the consequence? Most probably a property-tax, and 101. or 201. per cent. would be demanded from them out of their dividends. The 1 inguage which the Government held was—Oh'. all that the Court of Proprietors care about, is getting their dividends ; all that the Court of Directors care about, is their patronage. It was now time for them to tell the Government, that some attention must be paid of manufactures this cou ntry. were poured lte to the st a t e o f I n di a i tse lf— t h at an emp ' re so i m mense, ns a i d nto of ought to be p ut on a f oot i ng w i t h t h e ot h er co lonies that w which, country whi lstato Engl ish hetp a rate as to undersell ail home manufacture, England would nut receive even the raw produce of India in return, and the conseque nce was, that the country was drained of its precious metal —a dr,in which, be it remembered, could not last for ever. There was no less a capital employed in the trade between I dia and China than five millions, and if the tea trade were to be thrown open to morrow, he should not be surprised to find that in three years the Company would be requested again to undertake its ma management.—(Hear, bear.) He begged, however, to he understood, that his observations were limited to the trade to China—that the Company should trade to India —that they should thus unite the anomalous character of sovereigns and traders—was what he had always objected to, and which he hoped would be given up, with consent of all parties. Much as had been said about the success which followed the opening of the trade with India, he could only say, that he believed all who had engaged in that trade had burnt their fingers. He had for one ; and he had only heard of one person who had been successful. He concluded by urging on all parties to use every exer don to resist the attempt to deprive the Company of a trade which they carried on with so much advantage to the people of this country. He quite differed from the opinion of the Hon. and Gallant General, who considered that trade as gone. When he referred to the opinions which had been once entertained by Mr. Charles Grant, by Mr. Robert Grant, and by Mr. Ellice, he found every thing to hope from that circumstance; and, as to the proposal to ino ct the burthen of 630,0001. per annum on the natives of India, it was one which should never Dave his sanction ; for he would never consent to become either their pensioner or their plunderer, when the Com pany had already sufficient property to answer all the de mands to which it was liable. He suggested the appoint ment of a Committee from the Court of Proprietors to conduct the correspondence. Mr. MOLONEY remarked on the strong expression of opinion which had taken place on this question, and sail it appeared to be the fashion to deprecate all the old modes of conducting commerce, and to establish new ones in their stead. Those, however, who sought to throw open the China trade did not appear to take into consideration the various peculiarities by which it was accompanied. The character of the nation—the contempt which they exhi nited for commerce and commercial pursuits, made it highly expedient that the old relations between them and us should not be dissolved t II we were qui'e sure of estoh fishing new ones in their room. He could not agree with the H solutions which he had that day heard, because they implied an acquiescence wish the mutilated state to which it was intended to reduce the Company, and which would render it inadequate to the duties which it was still ex pected to perform.—(Hear.) He objected to them, be cause the existence of the China trade was mote sa`e in th , hands of the East India Company, than in the hands of the rehash nation at large—(Hear)—and because. that trade afforded a safe and certain mode of remittance, Ind the resources which it yielded were necessary to secure tire dividends of the proprietors of the East India Company. He thought those who had such large ex pectations of the opening which a trade to China would off .rd would be much disappointed by the result ; for no _teat increase of exports could take place from the introduc tion of British manufactures amongst a people so completely wedded to ancient customs as the Chinese. He of jected most strenuously to a plan which was to deprive the Com pany of its commercial property, and consequently prevent it from trading in its corporate c rpacity. The wholesale retrenchments which were spoken of, could not be carried into execution with safety. From the character of the Indian people, a large and magnificent expenditure was necessary to impress them with a high notion of the power of Cue Government. He had the fullest confidence in the Court of arectors, and therefore he should oppose lie suggestion for the appointment of a Committee. He called on them to defend their commercial property, and not to give it up to the Government by a suicidal act. Their assets were quite sufficient to pay their dividends, and to separate their commercial from their territorial power, anti then to say that th-ir commercial assets must be held liable to their territorial eneagements was little less than an act of confiscation. He saw no objection to allow. jug British traders to carry tea to any part of Europe, or t e wilt Id, and exc pt the importation of tea into the United Kingdom, he saw no obj , ction to abolish all re ,arh•tionv on the China trade. At all events, he was quite sure that a cominuta , ion of duties', like that which took pace in 1784, most be yielded. To suppose that the public was to pay 100 per cent. on an article of such general consumptro, as that of tea was monstrous ; but he was quite sure that by no trailers could the tea trade with China be conducted with so much advantage to the British public as by the East India Company. He would never consent to be a parry to give up this trade, or to the com promise proposed by the Hon. anti Gallant General. Dr GILCHRIST concurred in the observation respecting the reduction of the duties on tea. The poor of England ought to be consulted. Nothing could have a more de moralizing effect upon the poor of this country than by so heavy a duty to prevent them from drinking an innocent beverage, which had saved many of them from the ale house, the gin-shop, the gaol, arid even the gallows itself. Tire propositions of Sir John Malcolm had been drawn up with much judgment and also with much skill, and re quired mature deliberation before he would venture to pronounce an opinion on them. Mr. LOWNDES addressed the Court for some time, amidst repeated symptoms of impatience, but evidently to the great amusement of the company. The Honourable Proprietor said he had predicted everything that had happened for the last twenty years, and referred, amidst reapeated roars of merriment, to the various pamphlets and letters which he said he had promulgated on dif ferent subjects. We understood hits to object to the pro posed retrenchments, and to call for a removal or reduc tion of the duty on tea, without which the China trade must be thrown open ; but he contended that it would be much more to the advantage of the people that its conduct should remain in the hands of the East India Company. Sir H. J. BRIDGES moved an adjournment till to morrow, that the resolutions should be printed for the use of the proprietors. Mr. RIGBY proposed an adjournment till Thursday, ashe thought they required more time to consider the proposition. Some discussion ensued, in which Mr. Randle Jackson, Dr. Gilchrist, and others, took part ; when it was finally agreed to adjourn till to•morrow (Tuesday), at twelve. The Court then adjourned at five o'clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, APRIL 15. The SPEAKEIL took the Chair a few minutes after five o'clock. Mr. WARBURTON brought up the Report of the Londonderry Election Committee. They reported, that Sir Robert Ferguson was duly elected, and that the peti tion was both frivolous and vexatious. They further re ported, that treating and other corrupt practices had been much practised, both previous to and during the late election by a club calling themselves the Independent Club, three-fou the of whom were publicans, and wholly opmsed to the sitting Member. Further, that the conduct of G. Hill, Esq., the Mayor of Londonderry, had been irregular in not certifying upon oath that the ro 1 books delivered in to the Committee were the proper ones, and without any alteration, and further, that he had not indorsed upon the back of the writ the names of the candidates, and the numbers of the votes each hn l at the close of the poll. Mr. O'CONNELL brought up the report of the Car rickfergus Election Committee. They reported that Richard Dobbs, Esq. was not duly elected to serve for that town, and that the election was altogether void. That neither the petition, nor the opposition to it, was frivolous or vexations. They further reported, that the most gross and scandalous bribery, on both sides, had been carried on during the election, that though Mr. Dobbs was tot implicated in it, yet his return had been brought about by bribery; that a great !lumber of the freemen had been induced to give their votes solely by bribery, and that great delay and expense had been in curred by the delay in producing books and documents required by the Committee. The minutes of evidence were ordered to be laid on the 'able. Mr. O'CONNELL was further directed by the Com mittee to move that the writ for Carrickfergus be sus pended in the mean time. They were of opinion that a cas- had been made out either to alter the constituency, or altogether to disfranchise the city. He therefore moved that the Speaker do not issue his writ fir one month. The Marquis of CHANDos presented a petition pray ing for fur t h er t i me to enter into the recogniz , nees in the petition against the election of Sir Samuel Whalley.— lo or dered to be t4 , n into consideration on the 22d of April. Sir ROBERT INGLIS, in the absence of Lord AshleYt said that it was not that Noble Lord's intention to move the second reading of the Ten Hours' Factory Bill to mor row; he would therefore move that the order for the second reading be discharged and fixed fir the 22d of April. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL gave notice that he would move tor leave to bring in a Bill to ena ble his Majesty, by th e a d v i ce o f hi s P r i vy C ounc il, to direct that the assizes may be held in any place in any county. Mr. HUME pr esente d a pet i t i on f rom _the parish of (PRICE 7D.) St. George Bloomsbury, and Sr. Giles-in-the-Fields, against the Bill for granting a salary to the chairman of the quarter sessions. Mr. MURRAY moved that the order of the day for taking into consideration the Stafford Election be post poned till Tuesday the 24 , th of May. The order of the day for balloting for the Election Com mittee was then discharged. Mr. COBBETT gave notice that he would move to morrow that the petition of Richard Newson and James Dunn, presented to the House on the 1s - April, be printed. He should also move for returns of the distributors of stamps in every county and town in England, Wales, and Scotland, stating the salary which each annually re- ceived for his services. Lord ALT HORP gave notice that he would move to. morrow for leave to bring in a Bill, to enable persons to purchase small annuities by means of the Savings' Banks. SALARIES OF THE JUDGES. Mr. HUME said, as there were rumours of very con siderable changes in the judicial department, as some retirements were about to take place, and as some some other changes would of course follow,, he was inxious to remind the Noble Lord (the Chancellor of the Exchequer) that the salaries of the Judges had, for the last thirty years, increased to a very enormous ex tent. When any new appointment took place, he hoped that Government would show that they intended seriously to grant some relief to the country„overburtbened by heavy t fixation Lord ALTHORP said the present Lord Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench had accepted the situation upon a considerable reduction of the salary, which was a sufficient proof that the Government had turned its atten tion to the subject. He was not however prepared to give a specific answer to the question of the Hon. Mem ber, nor could he see that the subject was so pressing as to call upon him to bring it particulArly forward to-night. IRISH DISTURBANCES BILL. On the question that the House do re,olve itself into a Committee of Supply. Mr. O'CONNELL said that he saw no person present connected with the Irish Government, but be wished to have inf inflation, which he could not help moving for, with respect to the proclamations lately issued by the L , ,rd-Lieutenant of Ireland under the Bill which deprived hat e.,un ry of the Constitution. It was strongly inti- mated on the passing of that Bill that there wag no disposition to carry it into effect, so that it never could be carried into effect, except under the pressure of abso!ute nec..ssity. In spite of this assulance a most - wanton and outrageous act had been committed under the Bill, which sufficiently shewed the truth of what he had often said, that despotic power could not be entrusted in the hands of any man. Posses sion was itself a temp , ation to abuse it. Time Bill had hardly arrived in . Ireland before the county of Kilkenny was put out of the pale of the law. Pact of that county was, he acknowledged, in a disturbed state; but there was a considerable part of it perfectly tranquil, and which was punished indiscriminately with the rest. What he principally relied on was, that the County of the C,ty of Kilkenny had also been put under the operation l i of the Act, although there was not the slightest ap pearance of insubordination in that part of the country to justify the doing so ; for, if he were rightly informed, the crimes committed there within the last twelve months amounted only to five, the most serious of which was a petty larceny case. The reason given for this was a ludicrous ; one it was that the officers who were to form the courtsmartial could have better accommodation in the hotels of the city of Kilkenny, than they could in any disturbed part of the county. For this reason it was, a city which had committed no off,nce, and which con tained a population of 24,000 souls, had been put out of the pale of the law. He concluded by moving that ther , be laid before the House copies of all proclamations issued by the Lord-Lieutenant under the Irish Coercive Bill ; the reasons giv-n for the same, and the amount of crime committed within the last twelve months in the city of Kilkenny. Lord ALTHORP begged to suggest to the Hon. Member the expediency of his withdrawing his motion till the Right Hon. the Secretary for Ireland WA his seat to-morrow. He fully concurred in the observation of the Hon. and Learned Gentleman that the House, having granted these extraordinary powers to:the Gr , vernment, was bound to keep a jealous eye over the exercise of them. Mr. O'CONNELL withdrew his motion till to-morrow, Mr. COB BETT, with refsrence to the statement made by the Noble Lord a little while ago, said he did not know by how much the salary of the Chief Justice of the Court of King's Bench had been reduced, but it ought to have been to the standard which prevailed before 1795, when it was raised, in consequence of the depreciation which had taken place in the currency. It was then 4,500/., and it had since been raised to 10,000/. Tile salaries of police magistrates, too, deserved considera tion. These began at SOO/. a year, and were now ar rived at 800/. He should like to know what for ? He should like to be told why they might not be brought back to 300/.7 It was by such reductions throughout the establishments of the country, that the Noble Lord could alone expect to reduce the expenditure to the in come of the country. And this was what the people ex pected would follow the Reform Bill, which would be of no use to them unless it were followed by economy. Lord ALTHORP stated, in reply to the Hon. Member for Oldham, that in 1795 the Judges were in possession of saleable patronage, attached to their office, en which they no longer had any claim; and it was in remuneration for their loss of that patronage their salaries were advanced. The Noble Locd said something about police-magistrates, which we could not catch. Mr. HUME thought it almost necessary to have returns of the professional employment of the Judges. He had been inf firmed that, instead of an additional pressure of business upon the Judges, the reverse was the case. The subject 01 the judicial establishment, however, would he shortly brought before the House, when he (Mr. Hume) should make further observations on the subject. Still, however, he would have the Noble Lord direct his attention to the matter, especially as, although the Noble Lord said he was not aware of it, there were general rumours of a change in the judicial offices; which had, in fact, been mentioned in the leading journal of the day. Tire SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in answer to the Hon. Member for Middlesex, would assure him that ti,e judges were worked harder than any porters or coal heavers in the metropolis. Whether they were over paid, or under-paid, there could be no doubt of their being over-worked. With respect to the emoluments of the Lord Chief Justice, he could assure Hon. Mem bers that he was not now paid a sum equivalent to that received for fulfilling the duties of the orh,.e when it wa customary for the holder to dispense the patronage of the Court. Mr. D. W. HARVEY would assure the House that if the Court of King's Bench was pressed with business, the Court of Common Pleas was scarcely e-nployed. He be- lieved there were between 500 and 600 cases undecided in the King's Bench, and he was of opinion that an officer ought to be appointed to marshal the cases, so that each of the judges might have a fair proportion of work. There would be no difficulty in this, for it must be premised that the judges were equally good, and should there fore be equally employed.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The question was, whether good judges could be obtained for a much less sum thin 8,000/. ; but the Noble Lord had said if they were not to give good a daries, the conse quence would be that no efficient services would be ob tained.—(Hear, hear.) Now, he felt quite confident, that the contrary would be proved to be the fact, and he could well recollect the time when compensation was con sidered secondary to the honour of filling a high situation in the state.—(Hear.) Rising talent was now borne down by the silk gown monopoly. T,,e SOLICITOR-GENERAL said there never was a time when justified t t h h a e n ct the l'i4in tof The monopoly number of silk gowns o at the Bar was less had so much increased of la t e y ears, that for his own p art present. he should not have cared if there had been no such thing thought of. The number of king's counsel at the present day was about three times as great as it was twenty years ago. With respect to the hint thrown out by the Honourable Member for Colchester, o marshalling the causes, he considered it would be a great hardship on persons bringing actions not to know where they would be tried. As the thing at present stood par sous were permitted to choose any of the Courts in West minster Hall in whisk to bring their action. He was surprised at the statement of the Honourable Mem ber, that the Court of Common Pleas had so little business. The Court of .tschequer, he knew, had issued as many writs, as the Court of King's Bench. Any alteration for the good of uotitote would ever have his hearty support. He most earnestly implored the House to consider well before they legislated upon the subject, of the great good that resulted from aving efficient Judges, and the means by which such fficiency could be secured. Mr. 0 CONNELL thought that none but practical men could be good judges, and it would be obvious that they could not be selected from men of small practice. lorVitii v respect e t r o b u th r t e he m n a e r d shaio g of us ,tililtye should u c l d a b e e s h t r i a t n h s e f r e t r o, re i ri f one too tbCourtothers. He hoped the time was not far distant when lon courts would be established, not confined to a paltry 20/., but, like the old county courts, he trusted they would be able to take cogniz ,nce of any matter. He hoped, also, to see in those courts that the first witnesses cal'ed were the plaintiff an , i defendant, even although that would go far to destroy the emoluments of the profession to which he had the honour to belong. Mr. BULLER said a few words which were inaudible in the gallery. Sir W. M. RIDLEY said he could not concur in the remarks made by the Hon. Member for Colchester, that eminent men were induced to look for high situation+ oil the bench merely from pecuniary motives. He did not nee that they deserved such a stigma, when it was well known that many of them were making at the bar double the sua3 that was paid as salary to a Judge.—(Hear, hear.) Mercenary men were not likely to do so. The House then resolved itself into a Committee of Supply; Mr. BERNAL in the chair. Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in moving the first resolution, said it gave him great pleasure to announce that, notwith standing th • reductions made last year, amounting to 7.000/, in his department. there had been a further re duction effected amounting to 17,0001., besides 5,000/. which bad been hertofore received in the shape of fees. mak- ing altogether a stvinv, of 29,0001. The bal.tore sheet for the whole year had been laid before the House, whic:l would show that the sum that had been voted last sear hid not been exceeded. The CHAIRMAN then put the resolutiun that 104,0701. be grantvd to his Atijesty, to defray tln• a ditrie: of officer.) of the contingent expenses of the Adrniratty-offi,e, to the 3lst March, 1833. Mr. HUMF way of opinion that it would he but losing time, and woul.l be but giving unneceviary troult/e.. if he were to enter at any length into the iletai ..f it _ _ _ - _ - . item. The Right H n. Gentleman had itnilliuhtedy made a great many alterati , m4; and it was for him or tor any other person to attempt t•* say how far those alteration.; were beneficial, otherwise. The changes had in fact hken so great since the Right Hon. Gentleman bad taken office. that it wound not become him (Mr. Hume) at present to discos: th,-m. —(He-ir, hear.) The amount of the reducti,m4 eertain , y been considerable, hut lo%c as t b ~ x -penses penses were, compared with what they were ten years ago, still they were very heavy- to-i considerable as it had been—was, however, hut small, compared with what the Right Hon. Gentleman voold he expected by the country t resort to. He was sure hat none but Government itself thuu4ht the expen , rs ,t eun- ductmg the different departments were low enough. Sir J. GRAHAM said, as far as the number of men were concerned, a large majority of the H use had alre oly declared it necessary. The amount Of the forces must always be guided by the circnmstances in which vie country was placed. The Hon. Member was exceedin,ly desirous to guard Government against au increase of exp •ndi- Cure ; but be would beg to remind that Him ,, urable Member, that taking the half-pay, and those items over which his Majesty's Government had every control, there bad been a decrease in the last two years of no: less than 30 per cent. Mr. HUME complained of the charges for a receiver of fees. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said that the Hon. Member made a mistake, for that the receivership of fees war dune away wi:h. The figures the Honourable Member saw in the estimate were tl e last year's charge. Mr. HUME was glad of it, and hoped so excellent an example would be followed in other departments. It was preposterous for officers to pay fees for doing their own bu siness. He saw here a charge of 1001. for a civil archi tect. He wanted to know what was the nature of his duties. Sr JAMES GRAHAM said the salary tva% formerly SON., and had been reduced by him to 7091. This officer had very important duties to perform in surveying and carrying all dock-yard build inga on. The resolution was then agreed to. On a rate of 21,7251., being moved to defray the sae Lries and contingent expense. of the Navy Pdy-officer, _ _ _ . Mr. HUME asked whether Mr. Huskisan received any pension !or exercising the office of Assistant Treasurer ? Sir JAMES GRAHANI—No. Mr. HUME thought the charge for sending money to the prts might he saved, by the use of bills, in the com mon mercantile mode of transmitting money. Mr. POULETT THOMPSON said that he had given the subject his best attention, and could assure the Hors Gentleman that the business was now carried on at the cheapest rate possible. The bankers would not undertake to send the money unless a deposit was placed in their hands, and a commission given them. If, indeed, the Bank of England had any branch banks at the outports, the business might have been easily arranged. In the Act establishing the branch hanks of the Bank of Engl►nd, a clause was inserted forbidding these branches from making any payments, except where the branch was actually eats 'dished. There was a branch at Exeter, hut there was nune either at Portsmouth or Plymouth ; and therefore it was impossible to make an arrangement such as he had contemplated. Mr. HUME wished to know how the business was done now. Were notes or gold sent down to pay the seamen? Mr. POULETT THOMSON—Both notes and gold are sent. Mr. tkIUME thought, with the large balance which the Government had in the bands of the Bank of England, means might he found to pay the seamen without the ex pense of remitting the money. He supposed, if 20,0001. were lodged in the hands of the bankers at the out p :as, they would undertake to provide the money whenever it Was wanted. Mr. P. THOMSON would not like to trust the hankers. Mr. HUME saw an item in the account of 3,4001. for for the office on Tower hill, for the payment of the pen sioners of Greenwith Hospital. He wished to know why that could not he done away ? Mr. P. THOMSON assured the Hon. Member that this office was necessary ; and if he saw it he would ad mit that the business there was conducted in an admirable manner. The expense of this office was 4,300/., and he had reduced it to 3,4001.—V0te agreed to. The next resolution was, that 22,109/. he granted to his Majesty to defray the salaries of the officers and the contingent expencas of the scientific department of the navy. Mr. HUME thought that this was the opportunity he ought to take to bring the case of the students of naval architecture before the House. The returns, however, which he had moved for had been so recently completed, that they were not yet printed. He, therefore, was not able to lay the case of the young men, who be .hought had been very hardly treated, In ly before the House. He would only say, while other nations were diligently m ,king a pro. :;re's in naval architecture, we seemed to be retrogading. Other countries thought it necessary to keep up their scientific establishments, but we were destroying ours. He thought at least that the men who for twenty-six years had been bred up to this profession—who were not on y good practical ship-builders, but well acqu :inted wit 1 all the science connected with their profession—be could not help thinking that it would have been wise to have formed such a body of men into a small Board, rather than lure tk up the establishment altogether. At present no plan was followed in building our ships but one was built or altered according to the whim of one man, and another was built or altered according to the whim of another man. There was no principle whatever followed in building our ships, because we had not one system of education and one mode of instruction. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said, that after the best infor -I,u n hn a ei tt most i t t i n th ey nautical . pu r,oi cp c ae o i ru knowledge c d : o wr b 8 t l i di toog , e t w h e i t ßh pursueu a pw r r d aa sc o tt f i oc A a l demx appointi p r e a r l t i y e inta te.en. thoughtw He we could assure the Hon. Member that measures would be taken to give the public all the information which might he laid before the Board of Naval Architecture. Mr. HUME was desirous of knowing explicitly whether Captain Sytnond's plan had been successful or not 1 He understood that the Vernox, which had been built on the principles suggested by that officer, was a failure. It was now two years and a half since the experiment had been tried, and it was only right the public should know whether it answered or not the purposes it was designed for. Sir JAMES GRAHAM answered, that as far th Board of Admiralty was advised upon the subject, nothing could exceed the superiority both of the Verno d ll 6 a s u u d f .11 the other vessels built under Captain Syloheoirri grantel • DUNDAS declared, on the an °ray of Sir super intendence. i t d : C n iarr d ep. e pt n aoH c irn e ut e . dm themT The officers o : ffi fh c e, g e x r ht s rlya t7 pr p ide o i izaetrdeyd with ti t . rt o eb nt the Francis Collier, who ottn e . ~ experiment bad fully succe_dea Time Vote was thee agreed to. wended the Vernon, , that the On the motion that the sum of 114,9704 be yh t t a h m d information..elf fioc i eeprne. cr 3; 10 ° ci 4 0001 0 /
