Commercial Uuildings on the part of Mr. Homr to make the Church Commissioners pay the advance of a million, should not the clergy do it. The House thought with Lord ALTHORP, that if any other means of payment were provided, the clergy would not be very likely to pay, and accordingly rejected Mr. IlumE's clause. Brussels papers of the 20th inst., have been received. They contain reports of the debates which took place on the three previous days, on the law relative to extradition, or the power to deliver up any criminals from foreign countries, who may seek refuge in Belgium. This power was strongly, and we think justly opposed on the ground that foreign Courts would never fail to accuse political refugees, especially the poor Poles, of murder and robbery, in order to in sure their deliverance by Belgium. After much discussion, however, the three first articles were carried ; the last by a majority of 17, there being 40 for the law, and 23 against it. There is an extract in these papers from a pri vate letter written in London on Friday evening last, which says— " The Conference has caused an intimation to be made to the King of Holland, that if he will not ask the Ger man Diet for permission to cede a part of the Grand Duchy of Luxemburg to be united to Belgium, the Con ference will for the present dissolve itself. King William has announced, that he will not himself ask this permis sion, hut if the Conference asks it, and obtain the assent of the Diet, he will agree to the arrangement. This is the present state of the case." From this it is clear that Russia is at her old game of delay, and we are not sorry for it, be cause France and England must at length be come sensible of the folly and weakness which they have so long betrayed in their endurance of Russian insolence. But the indignation of the people will shortly compel their respective Go vernments to assert the rights of humanity and vindicate the national character from a base sub serviency to such barbarous intrigue and despotic ambition. " BrtussEts, Auc. 18.—The King returned yesterday morning to Lacken from tine camp at Castioux, where he had been to review the troops. " The Count de Sampayo, a Portuguse emigrant, who has long resided at Brussels, and who has been appointed by Don Pedro High Chamherlaiu to Queen Donna Maria, is gone to Paris. He is accompany the queen to Portugal. " The society of the proprietors of the Polders of Ca pitalendam submitted the following demands to the Go vernment : " 1. The payment of the works executed last year. "2. The resumption of the works of the secondary sluice to he erected near the sluice Isabella. " 3. A further advance of 15,000 francs for improving :be means of drawing off the waters. " These three demands have been granted. The Allgemeine Zeitung of the 16th con arms the report of the offensive and defensive alliance which that shrewd diplomatist, Count ORLOFF has just concluded-by order of NI CHOLAS with the Porte. As usual, the Rus sian Cabinet has contrived to out-wit both France and England, and lay a secure foundation for the future (at no distant period) subjugation of Turkey. Indeed, already the Porte is neither more nor less than the helpless vassal of NI CHOLAS, and we see not by what means it can ever hope to regain its independence. We find by the accounts from the French and Belgian ports, that the number of passengers arriving daily from England exceeds that of any previous year since the commencement of the peace, and that amongst them are the families of several noblemen and other wealthy members of our aristocracy, who have entirely broken up their establishments at home. To what is this self-expatriation to be attributed ? Are the necessaries or the home luxuries and elegancies of life become more expensive in England than they were ? On the contrary, they have fallen pro gressively 40 per cent. Are the laws and in stitutions more rigorous towards the Aristocracy? No, for although they have abolished many of their privileges, they have at the same time pro vided them with better securities against public or private violence, and have, therefore, rendered their property in the country much more stable than it was. To what, then, are we to attribute these proceedings ? We are sorry to say, that we can ascribe them to nothing else than that mean spirit of revenge which characterised the French Noblesse between the years 1780 and 1790, and again after the three days of July. We may, perhaps, divide these emigrants into two classes—viz. those who are actuated by a spirit of revenge alone, and those who feel it comparatively in a smaller degree, but who are influenced by a timidity of mind as disgraceful to them as it is dangerous to the interests of the country and their own. The first would punish the middle and lower orders for the part which they took in bringing about the Reform Bill, by withdrawing the pecuniary encouragement which their habits of extravagance gave to trade : the second are alarmed at what they consider the indications of a revolution similar to that which overthrew the BOURBON dynasty in France, and dreading the confiscation of their estates, have de termined to reside abroad for the few years during which they expect to possess them, in order that, by a rigid economy, in a foreign country, t h e y may make a purse for themselves and fami lies, to support them during the prevalence of the storm. What absurdity this is ; but if it were merely absurd, we should not notice it in any other way than ridicule. There are, how ever, important considerations connected with this subject. .Whilst the Aristocracy punish, as they think, the middle and lower orders— and to a certain extent their spirit of revenge is certainly gratified—can they be insensible to the danger of their own conduct, as regards themselves ? Have they never reflected that they are really labouring to bring about a revolution, which could not be produced by any other cause than their own misconduct—that they are in• flicting upon their order deeu and indelible dis grace—and that all those relations between the higher and the lower orders of society, which made the security of the former, are being gra dually destroyed ? Convinced by experience that an tipper but well regulated estate is essen tial to the happiness of the community at large ; and seeing nothing absolutely incorrigible in our Aristocracy, we would advise them to amend their conduct, and so adopt their views and their feelings to the new order of things, that they may appear less sensible of what they have lost, than of the blessings which they are still able to enjoy. We do not want to create a new Aristocracy, under whatever name it may be called. It will be the fault of the present Aris tocracy, if such should be the result. • On the motion of Mr. FINN accounts have been laid before Parliament of the balance arising from the remittance of public money to and from the Irish and British Exchequers; of the debts of Great Britain and Ireland; of the expenditure of Ireland ; of the Revenue of Great Britain and Ireland ; of their exports and im ports ; of the consumption of certain articles of produce; and of the tonnage of the Irish ports. The document is important, and we imagine will hardly afford Mr. FINN the arguments he expected to find in it for a repeal of the Union. The first of the returns we have enumerated will perhaps give some mob orator an oppor tunity of declaring against the foreigners " who suck the life-blood of Ireland," but even the most ignorant will, on reflection, see the rotten ness of its foundation. It appears that, exclusive of loans raised in Great Britain for Ireland, there had been remitted from the British to the Irish Exchequer, from the year 1792 to 1833, the sum of 8,251,2741. On the other hand, the Irish Exchequer had remitted to the Bri- tish, during the same period 19,640,4531., making a balance in its favo►►r of 11.389,1781., being at the average rate of about 307,8691. per annum. Mr. FINN, even if you take this account alone, we fancy you will have no argument for a repeal of the Union so good as might be urged by Cornwall, or any other Engl►sh county, who might have people silly enough to think of such a thing. The total present expenditure of Ireland is 2,910,8081. Its revenue in 1817, the last year given in the re turn, was 4,304,6291. In 1801, the year after the Union, it was only 2,645,736/. This is no great sign of the retrograde movement of Ireland since that event, and when the establishment of some temporary legal provision for the poor shall in sure tranquillity, whilst the rising generation is educated in ideas of independence, industry, and order, we may hope that so fair a portion of the e►npire will be able to contribute something more than a poor million odd to the common expenses of the State. 'flee consumption of foreign luxuries appears in both countries to have been stationary, or to have declined between 1801 and 1817. The consumption of tea, for instance, was in Great Britain 20,358,7021b5. in 1801, whilst in 1817 it was 20,246,1441b5. In Ireland there was, during the same period, a slight increase of consumption in the number of pounds, in the first named year, being 2,926,166, and in the last 2,990,580. The falling off in the con sumption of wine is remarkable in both coun tries. In 1801 it amounted in Great Britain to 7,728,871 gallons, and in 1817 to 4,420,807 gallons. In Ireland the figures for the same year are 1,024,832, and 439,602 gallons. On the other hand the consumption ofarticles of domestic luxury greatly increased in the same period. That of home-made spirits doubled in Great Britain, whilst in Ireland it actually trebled. The amount of shipping belonging to the ports of Ireland is only 108,128 tons ; but let complete tranquil lity be restored to the country, and both com merce and manufactures will arise. Peace now appears, from all the accounts we receive from Ireland, generally to prevail. Ministers have done much for it—have even, by their later measures, incurred odium for paling for peace, — and show a disposition to do more. Agitation may be justifiable where no disposition to im prove is shown ; but when it is shown, and proof is given of it, common sense would teach us not to disturb the operations of those who are working for our benefit. THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. We hear that his Majesty's ship Raven has arrived from Oporto; left on the 11th and brings no news. Jamaica papers to June 30 ; Madras to March 31 ; Launceston to March 17, have been received at the North and South Ame. rican Coffee-house. (From the Jamaica Courant of June Z.) THE STANLEY ROBBERY.-The intelligence communicated by us in the Courant of yesterday respecting the emancipation schemes of Mr. Stanley, and his clique has naturally excited the indignation of the property holders of this city. It is to viewed first as a measure of spoliation; second, policy; third, humanity. (From the Launceston Paper, Swan River.) We have kindly been favoured with the six first numbers of a new series of the Perth Gazette. w hich was ushered into the world with the present year. The advanced state of the colony is mainly attributed to individual exertions far beyond the expectations of the settlers who have recently arrived there, it has been the general theme of panegyric. The promise of an abundant harvest is now fully realized, and the farmers are all actively employed. The season has proved highly favour able, and the produce of this years growth equals 105 months consumption. The scarcity of money at the present moment is owing to the sums which have been chained from us by the several vessels on the point of taking their departure, which has left us in a needy condition. The usual discount on a loan is 25 per cent. (From the Madras Papers.) A rumour was current yesterday of a conspiracy being dig_ covered at Poonah. From a private letter, there has been a conspiracy discovered here, and seven of the conspirators have been arrested : report further states that some of the troops have been concerned. BOMBAY.—We learn that the 4,111 regiment, and a detach. ment of the 20th, with the Queen's Royals, have been ordered to hold themselves in readiness to embark for the Mauritius. This movement is said to be connected with intelligence from home, of the determination of Government to send out Mr. Jeremie and enforce his installation. . We have a great number of ship letters this morning. chiefly from India. FUNDS. The Funds, which left off heavy yesterday, continue in the state at present. Consols opened at the same price they left off, 88 % for the Account. There appears to be a weight on the Market, the cause of which is not as yet ascertained. • - Great anxiety is still expressed for further information from Oporto, particularly respecting the movements of Marshal Bourmont. An officer who accompanied him, has within these few days returned to Paris, and he asserts that, Bourmont does not despair of the Miguelite cause. The recruiting for officers for Bourmont is going on at Paris. We have a report that the Miguelites have retreated from Villa Nova, but as yet this requires confirmation. The Portuguese Scrip is lower, 22% 3IA prem. doing as yet in other Securities. Nothing HALF-PAST ONE. Consols continued during the morning at SS % for the Account.

A new writ was ordered on Tuesday for the county of Bute, in the room of Mr. CHARLES STUART, who has accepted the stewardship of the Chiltern Hun.. dreds. Camberwell fair closed last night. The ven ders of goods, and the itinerants who live by frequenting fairs, have made a successful campaign, in consequence of the extraordinary number of visitors who flocked to that annual scene of amusement. FlRE.—Three cottages, belonging to Mr. Sergeant MEREWETHER, were des'royed by fire on Monday evening, at Calne. One of the tenants, an old man, who was fond of canary 'Aids and rabbits, of which he had a great number, after securing them, was so well pleased, that he sat down in an arm chair, a short distance from the fire, sent for a pint of beer, and smoked his pipe very comfortably, whilst his house was burning.—Berkshire Chronicle. EXECUTION.—JOHN REYNOLDS, an Irish man, for highway robbery, accompanied with violence , underwent th e extreme sen t ence o f th e l a w at our county prison, on Saturday morning last, at 9 o'clock. He was attended on the scaffold by the Rev. Mr. EUDDLFSTONE , the Catholic priest, and died very penitent. Amongst the crowd who w i tnesse d t h e execut i on were a great nu mber of Irish reapers, who, before the fatal bolt was drawn, fell on their knees, and appeared to offer supplications on behalf of their wretched countryman.—Staffordshzr e Advertiser. IMPERIALPARLIAMENT THIS DAY, THURSDAY, AUG. 22. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took his chair at twenty-five rninut( • past twelve o'clock. CIVIL LIST CHARGES BILL. . On the motion of Lord ALTHORP the order of the day for receiving the report of the Committee on the Civil List charges was read, and Mr. C. Wood brought up the report. Mr. COBBETT took this opportunity of asking his Nlsjesty's Ministers whether there had been auy vote of money for the Poor Law Commissioners salaries ? Mr. SPRING RICE answered in the negative; the Commissioners received no salaries, and their expenses were defrayed in the usual way, and the persons they employed in the country merely received what they ex pended out of their own pockets, The Civil List Charges Bill was then ordered to be engrossed, and to be read a third time to-morrow. TURNPIKE ROADS BILL. The report of the Committee on the Turnpike Roads Accounts Bill was brought up, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. CHANCERY OFFICES REGULATION BILL. The Chancery Offices Regulation Bill, on the motion of Mr. S RICE was read a third time, the question that it pass being reserved uutil to-morrow. SESSIONAL ADDRESSES. On the motion of Lord ALTHORP, the House re solved itself into Committee on the Sessional Addresses, Mr. C. Wood in the Chaif. Lord ALTHORP said he had to move two resolutions, to which he had no doubt the Committee would unani mously agree, more especially to the first, which was in favour of the gentleman who had so ably acted as the Chairman of the Committee.—(Cheers.) He begged to move an address to his Majesty, praying that his Majesty would he pleased to direct that there be issued a snm of 1,200/ to Ralph Bernal, Esq., for his services as Chair man of the Committees of the House during the present session, assuring his Majesty that this House would make good the same. The resolution was agreed to, as was another, praying his Majesty to direct that there he issued to the Speaker's Secretary for his services during the present session, such a sum of money as together with the fees on private Bills, should make up the sum of 400/. The House resumed, and the report was ordered to be rec-ived to morrow. On the motion of Lord ALTHORP, the land tax Commissioner, names' 8,1 l was read a _third time and passed. Mr. C. WOOD brought up the report of the amend ments to the Juries (Ireland) Bill which were agreed to, and the Bill ordered to he read a third time to-morrow. APPROPRIATION CLAUSE. Mr. S. RICE moved that it be an in.truction to the Committee on the Consolidated Fund Bill that the Corn mittee have power to receive a clause of appropriation.— Agreed to. The House then resolved itself into Committee on the Consolidated Fund Bill. Sir J. GRAHAM rose to move an amendment to the Act relative to the naval service. By the terms of the Appropriation Act, as it at present stood, all services performed within the year should be paid within that period. Now it often happened that sailors who were on a foreign station could not be pail within the year, and in such cases the money was paid into the Bank, which acted as a complete dead weight upon the country. There was at the present moment no less than a million of money lying idle in that way. What, therefore, be proposed by the amendment was that so much only as had been demanded should be granted, and the recovery should be considered at a future opportunity. The amendment only went to alter the phraseology of the Act to meet that contingency. The amendment was agreed to without opposition. The Bill as amended was reported to the House, and ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. On the motion for the third reading of the Tea Duties Bill, Mr. EWART wished to know whether any arrange ment had been made with respect to the tea on hand ; and also whether any arrangement bad been made with re spect to the time ships would be allowed to sail from this country to Canton ? Mr. SPRING RICE said that it was esential that the stock of tea on hand should be such as would promote not only the interest of the private trader, but the con sumer also, and se far from considering that there was any conflicting or opposite interests between the consumer, the Government, and the East India Company, all their interests were bound together. What was desirable was to reduce the present stock of tea in such a manner as to give free scope to the private trader, hut, in his opinion, it would not be desirable to reduce it actually to zero. It was not for the interest of the East India Company, that there should he an accumulation of tea left in their pos- session, as that would have the eEect of distressing the private trader, and exposing him to a competition he did not calculate upon.—(Hear, hear, hear.) With respect to the quarterly sales, it was not intended that any deviation should take place from the usual course during the next three of them ; but that they should be lest to the discretion of the company. After these three sales had taken place, the quantity to be sold wouli have to be determined by the Board of Controul, which would so govern them that a gradual increase would take place in the quantity, whilst the parties interested would be made acquainted with the maximum amount ; so that the state of the market would be always fsirly known. Mr. CRAWFORD said he would not have ventured to have addressed the House at so early a period, if he had nut been applied to by traders resident i❑ the city of London, who were deeply interested in the tea trade. The application made to him was by a highly respectable Conami tee of traders, who complained that they had not received any communication of the intended details, until after they had been publicly promulgated by his Majesty's Ministers. These gentlemen, and the trade generally, objected to the classification adopted by the Government, as being opposed to the interests of the importers and the consumere.—(Hear, hear.) He thought that his Majesty's Ministers should afford an opportunity for an early reconsideration of the subject, and give time for such communications with the trade as would enable a better classification to be made. The gentlemen who had applied to him had informed him that there were eight descriptions of tea, which wou'd come properly under the second cla.s, and be charged at a duly of 2s. 2,1. ; but which, as they were not now enumerated in that class, would have to pay a rimy of 3s. per pound. Besides this, the East India Company was already exempt from thz payment of auction duty, for their teas were disposed of by public sale, and it would be only just that the ether im porters of tea be placed upou the some footing. He wished to ask the Right Hon. Gentleman, whether, supposing the present Bill to he passed, there would be any objection to an early reconsideration of the subject in the next session, that the anomalies complained of might be then amended ? Mr. S. RICE said that the Hon. Gentleman and the House would be aware that the tea trade in some respects differed from every other; and that as the Government was, as it were, in actual contact with the parties inter estcid, twenty four hours need not have elapsed, after the resolutions were promulgated, before the trade might have communicated with the Government thereon. But from the passing of the resolutions, up to that moment, not any communication had been made on the subject, excepting that of the Hon. Gentleman, who would no doubt have brought it under the notice of Government had he before appeared in his place in that House, and to whom he now begged leave to offer his congratulations.—(Hear, hear.) He would put it to that Hen. Member whether it would oot be pregnant with inconvenience to give any pledge of such a nature as that he had asked ? Such a de claration would naturally paralyze the trade, and produce the most serious inconvenience to all parties. It would be open to the Hon. Member, or to any other Member of the House, to bring the subject again before Parliament in the next session ; but no pledge could be consistently asked or given, that a Bill to be passed in the month of August should be considered in the February following. The House should remember, that in all the alterations of duty made, reductions had taken place. In the first class it had been reduced from 96 per cent to 81 ; in the second class from 100 to 944 ; and in the third class from 100 to 81. And these classes had been determined after communicati ins with several bankers, not one of whom had differed in opinion with the others. If the Hon. Gentleman thought an ad valorem duty would have been preferable, he (Mr. Spring Rice) wouid say that such a mode of ascertaining the duty cool not have been practised at the out-ports, when Auction sales would not be held under the same security as in the Port of London ; and givng it an ad valorem for a rated duty, which should be alike on all descriptions of tea, would only have tended to increase the price of infe rior teas, or such as were consumed chiefly by the lower orders. The best inquiries which could be made had aereed so well with the experiments made at the Board of Control, as to leave no doubt of the certainty of collect ing the duty tinder the classification th•it had been made. Mr. HUNIE said there was certainly some difficulty in arriving at a precise classification, but be thought the proposed measure better than continuing to change an ad valorem duty, Mr. YOUNG whited to la two que+tiong of Ms bk. jes,y's Ministers, upon a subject which was viewed in a very important light by the mercantile interest. Oa a former occasion, in answer to a question, the Right Hon. Gentleman, the Vice-President of the Board of Control, stated to the House that Government had recommended to the East India Company not to send out any of their ships to China during the present season, and that it was not then determined by the Company whe ther they would accede to that recommendation.— (Hear.) He wished now to ask i f the Company had come to any determination upon that point, and if they had, whether Government bad it in contemplation to make any arrangement with the Company by which pri vate ships might be allowed to he sent nut ; at present the trade was wholly suspended, for though the Com pany might not send ships out, private traders could not until the present charter expired, to which period the time was now very limited. The other question was whether Government bad determined from what parts of the kingdom the trade to China was to be allowed to be carried on. It was understood that the trade was only to be allowed in certain ports, and it was desirable that those ports should he known. Mr. S. RICE said, with respect to the first question, he was unable to give any specific answer ; as to the other, he could merely refer the Hon. Member to the Bill which had been lately in the House. Mr. GORDON said it was impossible that any private ships could be dispatched to China prior to next April without permission of the Company, but he had no reason to believe that that permission would be refused. Mr. EWART and Mr. HUME condemned the conduct of Government in not allowing private vessels to proceed as early as possible, and said the limitation would be productive of an injury to the shipping interest. Lord ALTHORP thought the disadvantage to the shipping interest could not be very great by the delay, because of the quantity of tea now in the Company's stock. Mr. HUME considered that the change which was n w to take place should take place so gradually, that the Chinese themselves should not know that a change bad been effected Mr. HARVEY said it appeared to him there had been too much partiality shown to the .higher classes in the reduction of the duty that was to take place. After a few observations from Mr. PRYME, Mr. CRAWFORD, and Mr. J. TERREY, the Bill was read a third time and passA. Colonel EVANS gave notice that be would on Satur- day ask a question relative to our foreign policy in the East. CHANCERY-OFFICE BILL. The SOLICITOR G e'NERAL in moving the third reading of the Chancery office Bill, said he would shortly state the effects to be produced by the Bill, which he had not done on a former stage o' the Bill from his anxiety not to interrupt im portant Public Bu iness. The Bill went to abolish thir teen offices which had long existed, and which were nearly sinecures; in others the salaries were greatly reduced. The old system upon which these offices were conducted was this —there was the chief sinecurist who did nothing ; h. appointed a deputy, who was allowed a larger salary than what ought to have been allowed to the office altogether. —(Hear.) The first office was that of the Clerk of the Hanaper, who received 2,800/. a year, and his deputy 350/. The duties were now to be done for 200/., being a saving of 2,990/.—(Hear, hear.) The next was the Clerk of the Crown, who had 11,0001., and his deputy I,oool.—the allowance was now to be 500/. for altogether, being a saving of 11,400/. There was an office in Chancery, called the Chaff Wax, who was allowed 1,300/., and his deputy 400/. ; that office was ti be now abolished, but as there was a necessary expendi ture for wax, 501. a year was to be allowed for the pur chase of the wax.—(Hear, hear, hear.) The Learned Gentleman then enumerated the whole of the offices, and stated, that on that branch alone there was to be a saving of 21,670/.—(Cheers)—which was to be disposed of in the following manner, 9,000/. to the Suitor., they were to be relieved from fees to that amount ; 2,834/. were to be paid to the Suitors Fund, and he congratulated ' the Chancellor of the Exchequer upon the fact that 9,736/ would be paid to the account of the Consolidated Fund. Now it was to be remembered that all these offices were in the gift of the Chancellor, and former Chancellor. had given them to their relatives. That they had even been made the subject of marriage settlements. Two of the offices were held by the brother of the Lord Chancellor, which were to be abolished instantly.— (Cheers.) The others were to be abolished as they felt in. The next branch of the Bill applied to the Masters, who upon an average received 3,900/. a year front fees, &c. they were now to be paid a fixed sum of 2,500/. a year each, and as there were ten of them the saving would h. 14,0001. per annum. The chief clerk of the Master" now received 1,3001. a year in gratuities—those gratuities were charged in the Bill of costs, and the Bill was taxed by the clerk him self, a plan open to very great abuse. Tate Bros saving, in the year, from both these branches, would be 56,720/. The masters salaries were to be paid from the suitors fund. Orders were to be entirely abolished; peti tions and affidavits, which formerly were required by the Lord Chancellor, were to be sent before the Master. The great complaint hitherto had been of the delay in the Master's Offico. The great object in view was to make the Masters efficient officers of the Court. The present Masters were most respectable, honourable, and learned men ; hut former Lord Chancellors, considering them private personal appointments had appointed to those high and important judicial situations, persons whom they dared not have recommended, had the appointment been in the King. It was now, therefore, proposed to seat those appointments in the King. They were now to be made by his Majesty on the responsibility of the King's Government. No doubt the King might act on the re commendation of the Lord Chancellor for the time being; but that officer with all she cabinet would be held reepon- Bible for every appointment.—(Hear, hear.) By this Bill there were to be particular returns m tde by the Masters in Chancery to the Lord Chancellor of the number of hour. they have attended their offices, and the general state of causes and other matters in the office, from time to time, so that there would be ample opportunity of ascertaining whether those holding such important judicial situations had properly discharged thcir official functions. But there were still further improvements. When the Bill had been first introduced in the other House of Parlia ment, it went still further; but the present Lord Chan ceilor had done ail that was in his power to do.—(Cheers.) There were some parts of the Bill which he had been obliged to drop ; but he (the Solicitor-General) h ped that next session the public would yet hive the benefit of them. Much, however, had been effected by the present Lord Chancellor—(Cheers) —and he (the Solicitor-Gene ral) trusted the public would appreciate his conduct in the matter, for he had met with many difficulties, and award him his due meed of approbation.—(Cheers.) Mr. LYNCH congratulated the House on the great and important improvements which had been eff,eted ; hut he took them only as an instalment of what was dm, for much yet remained to be done.—(Hear, hear.) H.- thought it would be a great deal better that the master , and clerks should be paid partly by graduated fees, and partly by salary, as they made their reports and signed their certificates. He intended to propose two amend ments—one to the effect that the Lords of the Treasury, to whom the matter was to be referred, to consider what compensation should be given to those whose offices were to be abolished, should make their report within six calender months after the passing of the Act ; and the other that the commissioners in their investigations should have the power to determine whether, from the nature of cer tain offices, or the mode of accession thereto, any condi. tiams could properly be imposed as to non-cumpensation. It was well known that there were certain offices which were filled in gradation, by the clerk, who paid on entry 1,000/., and from time immemorial they had the right, as higher offices fell vacant, to succeed to the Registrars' Offic , s, and Masters in the Vote Office. Mr. D. W. HARVEY could not, on the present occa sion, withhold the expression of his most sincere theogh humble thanks for the alterations which had been made by this Bill in the Chancery offices. He congratulated the House the more on the great and substantial improve. ments which had been eff cted, inasmuch as it was im possible for them to conceive the great difficulties with which those who had done so much had been surrounded. although he highly appreciated the measure in a financial point of view, he trusted that it was only subordinate to great improvements that were still to take place, and was to be looked upon only as an earnest on the port of that distinguished individual who held the highest office in the law, to make this court one which he proved in reality, and no , in name, a Court of Equity.—(Hear.) Mr. SINCLAIR thought the measure reflected the highest honour upon the Lord Chancellor. He had ac complished that which no other man had attempted to achieve. — Mr. TOOKE gave his most unqualified approbation to therneasure. The benefit the suitors would derive from it would be not only a saving of the expense, but great exile• dition in the proct edin-zs of the court. No clime give more satisfaction to the public than that which m ide it inip..!rative upon the masters to give a statement of every cause before them, and the precise state in which it then was. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL had no objection to the amendment proposed by the Hon. and Learned Member opposite (Mr. Lyr.d.). It seamed to Lim annaoessiry ; but out of deference to his Learned Friend, he st,ouiLl not object to it. Mr. SINCLAIR observed that by the Bill the maters were still to be allowed 2,5001. a year, that was more than was given to any of the judges of the Court of S , ssion. in Scotland, whole duties were most laborious. He was in hopes that something would have been done to increase the salaries of those deserving individuals after the pledge that had been given by his Majesty's Government. Lord ALTHORP said, that so far from any pledge being given on the subject, he believed all the Members fif the Government voted against the increase of the sala ries of tlie Scotch Judges. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. Mr. MURRAY postponed the further consideration of the Report on the Procurator's Fiscil (Scotland) Bill. TITHES STAY OF SUITS BILL. On the motion of Mr. BLAMIRE, the House resolved its-lf into a Committee on the Tithes Stay of Suits Bill, Mr. PETRE in the chair. Mr. BLAMIRE stated that his principal object, in bringing forward the present measure, was to relief Ministers from that odium under which they laboured on this subject. He was encouraged to hope that a majority of the House would go with him in carrying the measure, and he should throw himself upon the courtesy of Hon. Members to assist him in the details. Sir ROBERT INGLIS was understood to recommend the postponement of the Committee. Mr. IILAMIRE said it was desirable the discussion on the clauses should go on in Committee, in order that the Bill might pass in the present session. If it went through Committee that day, the Bill might be printed at night, and the sense of the House taken on the report. Mr. AGLIONBY made some comments on verbal amendments proposed by the Honourable Member (Mr. Blamire) on the first clause; and instanced the case of a parish, in which, before the opera tion of Lord Tenterden's Act, the utmost harmony pre vailed between the pastor and the parishioners, and now the Church was literally abandoned. Mr. LYNCH approved of the amendments proposed by the Hon. Member, who had introduced the Bill; he thought they would go on with the Bill, to prevent evil without doing injustice. On the question that the verbal amendments proposed should i stand part of the clause. Mr. D. W. HARVEY said he thought the Bill would be injurious in its application, and unjustly affecting the right of property. It would be impossible for any plain tiff, whether he proceeded in a court of law or in a court of equi'y, to establish a tithe which for years hid been dormant, to succeed when it became an issue b!fore a jury. The weight of prejudice he would have to c •nfiict with would be such as to snake it necessary for hina to show not merely the legality, but the righteousness of tie demand, before he could proceed. It they were to legislate upon it, why not legislate in the most efficient .nanner ?—(Hear, hear.) Why not at once suspend ill the proceedings that had taken place within a given period to the next session of Parliament. He ook it for granted the present Bill was the herald of good things to come, and that it was intended these evils should be put a stop to by some wholesome legislation which would at once extinguish all the causes. It that were so, why not at once suspend all proceeding?) under writs which had been issu-d, he would say within the last two months? He really thought the present measure was one, when it came to be rifiected upon, which was fraught with danger and difficulty. In his opinion, 'idles formed a species of property which were indis putably as much to be guarded by all the protec tion that could be thrown around property of any other description. If they did not belong to the Church, they did not belong to the landlord, but they were a property which he was sorry to see a disposition in that House to fritter away ; and he was extremely sorry to see landholders !endeavouring to excite those feelings, and produce those results which (LEFT SPEAKING AT THREE O'CLOCK.)
