IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. THE LEITH AND LONDON NEW STEAM-S'iIPS, ROYAL WILLIANI an f ROYAL ADELAIDE, each 200 horse's power, having continued running during the Winter, are now appointed to sail from the St. K.ltharine's Dock Wharf, London, and will land their Passengers, &c., in Leith llarbour, as follows : TAXES. At 12 o'clock on Tuesday, a numerous and respect. able meeting of the parishioners of St. Andrew, Holborn, and St. George the Martyr, Middlesex, was held in the great room of St. Andrew's workhouse, Gray's Inn-lane, for the purpose of adopting measures in case Ministers persisted in not repealing these taxes, which pressed so heavily upon the respectasile tradesman. W. TOOKE, Esq., M.P., was unanimously called to the Chair. He stated that he was much surprised at the con duct of Ministers in rejecting Sir J. Key's motion, by bringing the whole of their phalanx into the House. Ho was sorry to say that the present Ministers had not done their duty to the public. Instead of taking off taxes that would be beneficial to the public at large, they had contented themselves by a little amending here and there—what might be cal ed a cheese and candle reduction. If they wished to enjoy public confidence, they ought to reduce the high salaries and sinecures. Pubic faith must be kept up with the public creditors, and not taxes imposed to support the public plunderers by pensions. The Marquis of Camden had nobly given up his pension to the people ; but there was a Lord Eldon and many Honourables who were drawing from the pockets of the industrious trades man. He was sorry to sre that the reformed House of Parliament was too conciliating to the Conservatives and Aristocracy. The Hon. Chairman was greatly cheered. HOUSE OF LORDS, MAY 8. Marquis CAMDEN presented a petition from the clergy of Canterbury against the Irish Church Temporalities Bill. As the Bill was not before the House, the petition was withdrawn. The Earl of RADNOR presented the report of the Select Committee on the Stafford Bribery Bill, and would take that opportunity of correcting a mistake in a state ment into which he had fallen when he last -addressed the House upon the subject. He had then stated that out of 526 who had voted for Captain Gronow, 524 had been paid for their votes. Some gentlemen from Stafford had called upon him, and set him right upon the subject; they stated to him that they, and many other respectable gentlemen, had voted for the Captain, and when they met, after such a tratement bad been made, they were most anxious to know who were the two virtuous men. Since that communication had been made to him, he had looked over the list, and counted those voters who were marked, and found that he had stated tlie number 100 too many ; it should have been 424 out of 526. He moved that the report be printed, and the second reading of the Bill be fixed for Frithy next, and that their Lordships be turn ironed for that day.

The Doke of CUMBERLAND inquired whether the report could be printed, and in the hinds of Noble Lords before that time. ROEBUCK, Esq., M.P., proposed several resolutions, calling upon the inhabitants to express their feelines to 3linis.ers, and their determination to withhold further taxes, if some measure was ❑ot adopted to alleviate the burdens they were now labouring under. The resolutions were unanimously carried. Several influential persons of the parishes addressed the meeting, and observed that Ministers had forfeited the con fidence of the public, after which the meeting dispersed. Earl RADNOR said the report was a very short one, and might he in the hands of their Lordships to-morrow. Lord SUFFIELD presented a petition complaining of church rates anti dues, and of various other grievances, from the membors of the Board of Baptist Ministers in Fen -court, London.

Sir—Having seen in your estimable journal of Satur day last, a short paragraph about Paganini, and approving of your just indignation at his conduct towards the unfor tunate English actors at Paris, I think it my duty to thank you, and to address you these few lines on the same subject. That Paganini is a man of great merit, as a performer on the violin, no person can deny; but his behaviour is mean, ungrateful, and disgusting. You have mentioned his inhumanity towards the Eng lish at Paris, and I will submit to your conscience the following fact : Many of your readers must have known and heard in London the two wonderful artists Gambati. One of them, through severe illness and misfortune, was in Paris re duced to a state of distress, and the physicians of that ca pital advised him to return for some time to his native land, in order that he might restore his health, and then resume the labours of his profession. However, he bad not the necessaty pecuniary means of performing his journey, and all the best Italian and French, artists endeavoured to give a concert foi this humane purpose. Paganini was requested to join them, and he promised to p'ay one of his a solo. But when the concert was to be announced, the great fidler refused to have his name men tioned unless they gave him 1,000 francs. The poor Gambati could not give the sum demanded, and as Paga nini would not have pity on him, the concert was post poned, and Gambati was so much grieved that four days after he expired in Paris. Now, Sir, Paganini is the same individual who, when in 1517, he trade his first appearance at Rome, had no shoes to his feet, and no coat to his back.° A young ar tist, called Adducci, borrowed from me some money to dress hint up, and to enable him to give a concert at Ar gautina. He did not succeed ; the few scudi of the even ing he gambled away the same night, and the next morning he had not a paolo at his disposal, and I was never paid. From that time 1 have never spoken to Paganini. However, I will tell ycu what I know to be true. Three we' s ago Paganini told a friend of his in Paris— " I will shortly visit England again, to pluck those foolish Bulls ; I despise them as much as I like their guineas. I want 300,000 francs to make up my two millions, and I know that John Bull has got them for me." Sir, there are in England a great many who are dying in starvation ; arid a very rich and very coveteons man must come to take their bread with a few strokes on his violin I Sir, your most humble servant, April 28. M• + This is to the credit of the man ; his talents have fairly achieved his wealth. The point is—has he been deficient in corn_ mon courtesy and kindness to an amiable anddeserving person ? DEAL, MAY 7.—Vice-Admiral Sir PUL TENEY MALcotat has unexpectedly been appointed to the command of our naval force in the Mediterranean, in con sequence of the demise of Vice-Admiral Sir HENRY HOTHAM, and has proceeded to town this afternoon. The Dec steam-ship, Commander OLIVER, will proceed to Portsmouth immediately, for the purpose of taking out Admiral MaLcor..at to Lisbon, where he will hoist his flag on board of his Majesty's ship Brittannia. Sailed the Jason French frigate, on a cruise in the North Sea. It is reported Admiral THOMPSON is appointed to the com mand of the North Sea combined squadron. Remain in the Downs the Donegal, Stag, Satellite, Snake, and Dee steamer ; also the Resolue French frigate, and Naiad French corvette. Six P.M. Sailed the Dee for Portsmouth. HOUSE AND WINDOW TAXES. On Tue , day evening a numerous meeting of the in hAbitant householders of the parish of Christchurch, South wark, was held in the Rotunda, to take into consideration what course ought to be pursued to obtain the instant and total repeal of the house and window tax, and to adopt such resolutions thereon as might seem most expedient; and also to take into consideration the conduct of William Brrugharn, Esq , one of their representatives, relative to the said taxes. The chair was filled by Mr. PA u.R., Mr. PAUL rose to move the first resolution. He con ceived that the House of Commons by its late vote o❑ Sir John Key's motion had disgraced itself in a way which even a boroughmonvring Parliament would have been ashamed of. He then adiverted to the civil list, which he characterised as enormous and shameful, He next alluded to the way in which the taxes pressed so heavily on the productive industry of the country. Taxation could only be sensibly lessened by the most rigid economy. We must economise from the King on the throne down to the door ke per of the House of Commons.—(Cheers.) It had now become a question, whether they should pay any more of the assessed taxes.—(Loud cries of " No ! no !") Am I to un derstand (said Mr. Paul) by your cries of "No ! no!' that you have no money wherewith to pay the tax ga therer?—(Cries of " Yes, yes," followed by the meat deafening cheers.) He then adverted to the inequality of the assessed taxes, which pressed so heavily on the mer chant and tradesman, while they were felt so lightly by the aristocracy. Mr. Paul the❑ concluded by moving— " That the meeting is deeply disappointed at the recent vote of the House of Commons, by continuing the house and window taxes, and is of opinion that their instant and total repeal ought to lie peremptorily demanded." Mr. MEEK seconded the resolution. He was not in the way of turning his attention much to politics, and it was with the greatest diffidence he now ventured to address them ; but he was impelled by a sense of duty to come forward on this momentous occasion. —(Cheers.) He found that a great part of his little earnings which ought to go to supply his limited wants, and those of his family, were taken out of his pocket by the tax-gatherer. The meeting had already virtually said, that they would no longer pay these obnoxious and oppressive taxes.—(Cries of " It's all over.") Well, then, he (Mr. M.) begged also to say, that his pockets would also in future be shut.—(Laughter and cheers.) _ Mr. Wooi:cx rose to move the second resolution. He had thought when we got a reformed Parliament we should have hid an honest Legislature at last. Not so; it seemed as if honesty could not exist in the atmosphere of St. Stephen's.—(Cheers.) He (Mr. Wooler) must now be an infidel as to our getting a truly honest House of Commons. He had lost all confidence in public men. The people must now trust to themselves.—(Great cheer ing.) They could and they ought to keep the money which had heretofore gone to the payment of the house and window taxes in their own pockets. The only way to limit the expenditure of Government was by refusing them the supplies. Mr. Wooler then adverted to toe conduct of Lord Althorp in promising after the vote of the House of Commons for the reduction of the duty on malt, not to undo that vote ; and, after his solemn promise publicly given, did undu it. This conduct he (Mr. W.) would pronounce to be worse than the conduct of Lord Castlereagh, when he made the legislation rescind its own vote in 1820, on the agricultural question. Mr. Wooler, after same further observations, concluded by moving— " That the conduct of the Ministry, in mixing the ques tion of the malt tax with the repeal of the house and window taxes, is unworthy of a Government professing to rest its respectability on the broad basis of public opinion, is an insult to the people, and destructive to confidence." Mr. BRADY seconded the resolution. Mr. LOCKE moved the third resolution, that " The conduct of Mr. William Brougham in voting against the interest of his constituents, has destroyed their confidence in him, and that, in their opinion, he ought to resign his seat for Southwark. Mr. SMITH seconded the resolution. Mr. POOLE moved the fourth resolution. The people now had ample reason to withdraw their confidence Irom their representatives, and henceforth to trust only to themselves. Are we to pay the house and window taxes any longer ?—(Cries of " No, no.") Then he (Mr. P.) would shut his pockets also.—(Laughter and cheers.) He had opposed Mr. Sheriff Hompliery at the last election, because he thought he would not p..rform his promises. Mr. Woi.LEA seconded the resolution, which was car ried by tremendous cheers. A vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman, who returned thanks, and the meeting then broke up.

CURIOUS ANECDOTE OF A TIGER.—From Captain Basil Hall's Towels we extract the following anecdote of the tiger at the British residency in India, who ate a sheep every day for dinner :—" But what annoyed him far more than our poking him up with a stick, or tantalizing him with shins of beef or legs of mutton, was introducing a mouse into his cage. No fine lady ever ex hibited more terror at the sight of a spider than this magnificent royal tiger betrayed on seeing a mouse, Our mischievous plan was to tie the little animal by a string to the end of a long pole, and thrust it close to the tiger's nose. The moment he saw it he leaped to the op posite side, and when the mouse was made to run near him, he jammed himself into a corner, and stood trembling and roaring in such an ecstacy of fear, that we were always obliged to desist from sheer pity to the poor brute. Some times we insisted on his passing over the spot where the unconscious little mouse ran backward and forwards. For a long time, however, we could not get him to cove, till a t length, I believe by the help of a squib, we obliged him to start ; but instead of pacing leisurely across his den, or making a detour to avoid the object of his alarm, he ge nerally took a kind of flying leap, so high as nearly to bring his back in contact with the roof of his cage." Aucsuunc, MAY I.—The letters from Vienna, of April 26, received to-day by the ordinary post, make no mention of the news from Constantinople contained in the commercial letter dated the 26th, in the evening, which was received in Augsburg by estafette, and inserted in the Allgemeine Zeitung of yesterday. We have, however, received the following letter, of an old date, from Belgrade: " Belgrade, April 18.--A French courier from Constantinople has passed through this city, who is said to be the bearer of important despatches for his Govern ment. Up to the 10th the capital was perfectly tranquil. Nothing bad transpired respecting the mission of M. de Varennes, yet it appeared that Ibrahim Paella would not directly reject the Sultan's proposals, but also not accept them in their full extent, so that negotiations might take place, which is what the Sultan wishes. Ibrahim's arm is, however, moving at several points, and seems to be going to take ❑p a position on this side of Brussa. it must soon appear whether it will stop there, or advance towards Scutari, by which it would come nearer to the Russian auxiliary corps. The Russians, ,t is said, are prepared for an attack, and have taken their measures accordingly. A considerable park of artillery has been conveyed to the camp which they occupy, and many artillerymen of the corps of marines have been landed. The camp is defended by about 60 pieces of cannon, with their full complement of men and ammu nition. Ihrahim Richt, therefore, may hesitate before he attempts any thing against it. Ile is doubtless too well acquainted with the effect of artillery mounted on batteries to venture to attack the small Russian corps in its in trenched camp, defended by such a number of cannon. Meantime it is reported that the Evyptian fleet will soon arrive in the Dardanelles, for the purpose of landing troops to occupy the forts. The corps of General Kesseleff, about 35 000 strong, is stated in the last accounts from Adrianople to have passed the Danube at Silistria, and to be on its march to Constantinople. In consequence of communications received from Warsaw, Prince Milosch seems to cause all foreign travellers to be strictly watched, and to apprehend some plan for exciting disturbances " BERLIN, Aran, 25.—According to accounts from St. Peteisburgh, the whole political interest of the moment is concentrated i❑ the affairs of the E:st, which become every hour more and more important, especially to Russia, which is called on to act i❑ them so diffieult and honourahle a part. The whole c use of this affair im poses on Russia the indispensable necessity to perform this part. The application made by the Sultan, the state of Turkey itself, the interests of southern Russia, and of the whole Russian commerce, the guarantee undertaken by the treaty o f Adrianople, all these several points strengthen the general political participation to which every European Cabinet is unquestionably entitled in a change of such immense importance as that which now seems to threaten the Turkish empire.

L rd DUNDAS presented a petition from Forfar, pray ing for the alteration of the church patronave in Scotland. Lord SUFFIELD and another NOBLE Loan presented numerous petitions for the total and immediate extinction of slavery. Lord SUFFIELD said, that it had been his prac tice of late to present fifty petitions per day for the total and immediate abolition of slavery ; but knowing that Ministers were going to bring forward their plan for the abolition of slavery, in the House of Commons, on Tues day next, he wished to present the whole of the petitions committed to his charge before that day ; therefore, he should he obliged to present 100 per day. The Earl of ALBEMARLE pres-nted petitions to the same effect, chiefly from parishes in Bedfordshire. The Personal Estates Bill and the Cotton Duty Bill were read a second time, and committed for to-morrow ; and the Bills brought up from the Commons were read a first time. The House then adjourned. BERLIN, Aran. 24.—This year there are to be grand military evolutions near Magdeburg, in which a part of the Poinoranian, or second corps of the army, will take part. The whole number of troops that will be assembled on this occasion is estimated at 40,000 men. Several considerable bankruptcies, especially of manufacturers, and the precarious state of some great houses have caused extraordinary distrust in the commercial world. Professor Ick intended this half year to read, but under another name, his old and celebrated course of lec tures upon politics. We bear, however, that he has been prohibited from doing this, on the ground that this is no part of the branch of instruction to which he is professor in the University. In like manner, Pro fessor G. is said to have received an intimation from the Ministry to 'refrain from expressing views and opinions which are decidedly opposed to the system of the Govern ment, whose officer he is. Several workmen, who were discharged from a manu factory here, because there was no employment, desiring to return to Dantzic, their native place, have not been able to obtain passports, because it is said news has been received that the white dysentery prevails there.—Nuren burg Correspondent, April 29. BERLIN, APRIL 25.—The affair at Frankfort on the Maine, resembling a scene of the middle ages, appears to have led to serious deliberations between the principal Go vernments, in which the question respecting a new organi zation of the German Universities is very likely to be brought forward. Now this question is immediately con nected with others of higher political interest. The universities in Prussia, though constituted in the same rn inner as the others, have not manifested anything of the bad spirit which it seems to be so difficult to eradicate in some others, not so much i❑ small universities as universities in the stnaller states. One might almost be tempted to believe that in our times the existence of the ems ler states is to he secured only by a close connection with the greater, not by imitation of them. Why should not the seminaries for learning in the great states serve also for the small ones ? Even now Gotingen is the Univer sity for Nassau. This example might also be extended to other similar cases. Allgemeine Zeitung, May 1. BERLIN, Aram 28.—To•day's number of the Berlin Political Wochenblutt contains the following remarks on recent events:— The proposal laid before the House of Commons for the destruction of the property of the church of England, has been this time rejected without being put to the vote, which by no means excludes the possibility of its being approved at some future time, when all the consequences of the Reform Bill shall have been fully developed. It may be considered as a melancholy sign of the decay of the sense of jus'ice, that Dissenters and (should the pro posed emancipation of the Jews take place) persons who are not Christians, deliberate in Parliament on the pro perty and the rights of the Anglican Church, whereas nobody thinks of disposing in a similar manner of the pro perty of the dissenters. In the Diet of the German Em pire, as is well known, there was on religious questions an Itio in purges which hindered one or our religious com munion from deciding on the rights of another." MUNICH, APRIL 27.—8 y a Royal Ministerial decision, the itomatriculation of the student. of the Bavarian Universities for the summer half year is to be do. i on the 30th April. All those who present themselves after that date are to bring legal proofs, not only of the cause of the delay, but also of the place of their abode since the let instant. All students, both na tives arid foreigners, even if they have alreitly arrived at the University, are to furnish certificates, showing where they have been since they left the University, in which they resided in the preceding half year. Those who affirm that they did not leave the University during the Easter holydays must prove the truth of this assertion. DRESDEN, APRIL 27.—We are assured that the Polish refugees are forbidden to niter the Prussian dominions; the only exceations are in favour of those who are return ing to their own country, or who are going to the water ing-plices, and ntio are provided for that purpose with passports signed by the Russian and Prussian Legations, and in this case they are merely permitted to pose through the Prussian dominions, which they can enter at three daces only, viz., at Saarbruck, Erfurt, and airlits. Our Minister of the Interior has just published a notice, that the admission of the Poles into the Saxon territory, when they are authorized to enter it, can take place at two points only, viz. at Uilitz, on the road from Hoff to Planen, and near Mat kanstadt, on th e roa d f ro m Erfurt to Leipsic; that the military authorities, stationed at those two points, will direct them to take the shortest road to pass through the k kingdom o f S axony , t h at t h ey may trave r s e i t i n a given time, and as speedily as possible. This route, as well as the time which they will employ in it, will be noted by the above -mentioned military authorities on the passports of these Poles.—Frankfort Papers, May 2.

DEATH FROM EXCESSIVE GRlEF.—Mon day night an inquest was held at the Vernon's Head, North Audley-street, on thi. body of MARY TAYLOR, aged sixty. The deceasod was related to Mr. MonsE, butcher, of 259, Oxford-street, where she was staying on a visit. On Friday lest she received intelligence of the death of a sister, upon which she fell back in her chair in a paroxysm of grief, to whi,b she was unable to give utterance. She said she would retire to her chamber, and soon afterwards the family were alarmed by hearing a heavy fall; Mrs. Moms repairin g to t h e chamber, she was shocked at beholding the old lady l y i ng a corpse b e f ore her on the floor.

The consequence is, , hat Quakers may now serve as constables, or in any simi lar o ffice; and I dare say I shall teay t.cibii sae the day when Quakers will execute the dutieg et rt ratid jnadra; and other duties in the same way as others rid. That ins s'. desirable circumstance, for I do not s ee why the+ i'laViilc retain to themselves any immunities, when all tto;'a'ae privileges hitherto withheld from them have been granted to them." It appeared that Mr. Justice Alderson both are_ anticipated and approved of his (Lord Morpeth's) motion.. He knew it had been thought that the strong opinions en. tertained by members of the Society of Friends with re spect to capital punishments might interpose some oust- , ere in the way of this object; however, that objection did not apply to them exclusively, but equally to many of other denominations. As Moravians were coupled with Quakers in all recent Acts of Parliament, he proposed to inalude them also in the operation of this Bill. The cane of that class called Separatists was already in the competent h inns of the Honourable Member for Cambridge. He believed it was thought that both that Hon. Gentleman and himself should have extended their object. He hoped that none would object to the definite and practical, though perhaps narrowed plan, although they did not endeavour to fill up a more magnificent, though less definite otyline. The Right Hon. Member for Finsbury admitted the propriety of doing away with all remaining disqualfica tions that pressed on Quakers. He (Lord Morpeth) did not mean to invest those disqualifications with the character of a flaming grievance in his motion, as one of tran•cendant relief, but he would call upon the House to adopt the measure at the same time on high grounds when he r e a minded them that if they consented tti this Bill, they wouhli l sweep away the last disability on the statdie book imposed by p•isitive enactments, or religious scruples; iit/ he 7e? not without hope th a t no t on ly wou ld th ere b e r:a" , Yppoar. ! tion, but that no time would be lost in forwarding alie' Bill. The Noble Lord then moved for leave to bring in a Bill to allow Quakers and Moravians to make affirmation in all cases where an oath was now req had. The SPEAKER then put the question, which was agreed to without opposition. NEWRY ELECTION.—MR. LISLE. Sir JOHN BYNG, after stating some of the evidence that had been given before the Newry Election Com mittee, moved that the Attorney-General far Ireland be directed to prosecute James Lisle, for bribery at the last Newry election. Mr. O'CONNELL said that no one whti had read Vie evidence could doubt that Mr. Lisle had bribed nviny of the poorer voters. He suggested that the Attorney-Gene ral should have a discretion given him to prosecute Oilie* bribers he might discover. • Mr. BARING suggested that the proper form of the motion would be an address to the Craws to direct the Irish Attorney-General to prosecute this individual. He approved of the course proposed to be taken on this occasion, so different from that taken by the House in the case of Stafford, when the House passed a Bill td ind e ma nify the guilty parties. mr. WASON defended the Stafford Indemnii4 Bib, on the ground that the bribing parties were not in t'br case known. Sir JOHN BYNG concurred in the propriety of alter ing the form of the motion in the manner suggested by the Hon. Memb r for Essex. .._ . The motion, having been altered to an addrns tet the Crown, was then agreed to. Mr. W. BROUGHAM then brought forward his mra3 tion for leave to bring in a Bill to establish a general registry of all debts and instruments relating to real pro perty in England and Wales. He believed there were few subjects of greater importance than that was, and that 1 of all the improvements in the law mad, under different forms by Commissioners or by the Houle, there was no one of such importance, as it would effect a greater change in the state of the law regarding real property than any tbat had yet been made. The subject was first investigated in the 17th century by a number of very eminent men, among whom was Cromwell, who himself took a very considerable part in it. They were, however, defeated at that time, chiefly by the lawyers, who then sat in Parliament, or, as Cromwell expressed it-- " The sons of Belial were too numerous." (Great laughter.) He (Mr. B.), however, believed that the lawyers of the present day were favourable to a general re gistration, and from them be hoped to have great assist ance. Inquiries were instituted at subsequent periodes but with no result until the question was taken up by that Commissioners appointed in 1828.—(Hear, hear.) The commission consisted of eight gentlemen of eminence in the profession, and who had taken great pains by examining witnesses, and putting a list of questions to t t, h h t ..e they were,France,t h e y many members of the profession. Those Commissioners drew up a report, recommending that a general system of registration should be adopted. The consequence was, that a Bill to effect that object was introduced into the House, last session, by his Hun. and Learned Friend the Solicitor-General, from which the Bill that he in tended to move for leave to bring in, differed but slightly. That Bill arrived at a second reading, and was referred to a Select Committee, which sat for 29 days, calling before: it all persons of eminence residing in London, and re questing all persons from the country, who. opposed the measure, to attend the Committee and give the reasons for objecting to registration. The Committee drew up a report, the result of which was earnestly recom mending the adoption of registration. The change which the adoption of this measure would introduce into the law of real property, he admitted, would be most extensive, and it therefore became the Legislature to be exceedingly cautious in admitting it, unless it saw great grounds for it. He was ready to put the question on that issue ; but as far as his own opinion went on the subject, he was clearly of opinion with the Committee that registration was necessary. He thought the evils attendant on the transfer of real property were such as would lead to a call for the adoption of such a measure.—(Hear, hear.) It would be impossible for any one not in the profession to form a notion of the difficulties that surrounded almost every title in the kingdom, great and small, and the frauds that were daily practised in the conveyance of real pro perty from one man to another. It sometimes happened that deeds could not be produced owing to accident, but it much reore frequently happened that they were kept back for a fraudulent purpose. Wilful frauds of this sort were much more frequent than the accidental omission of evidence of title, and this was particularly illustrated b a swmewhc g ucae r srunt e astbte Yorkshire,ht eh e eoi convincedy: t would youn defectivei found d against t t po affectafitntsoghfp Sweden, tt h t e:uh h ed e netrp e eiya i lni c r ila p p,tonyr i an a e o rDn it n utu w iifis n .s, et, on: Denmark, profits; a,ail a lkss: in the cases of mortgages, and the creation of terms for years, separating the legal estate from the beneficial ownership. The expense and delay which perplexities of this description occasioned even to marketable titles were incredible, and if any mode of obviating such evils could be pointed out, and was practicable, he . thought the House should adopt it. Solicitors bad raised not true, as they had asserted, that the e ff ect of a general registry would be to deprive parties of the custody of their deeds and muniments. The measure was only intended to genera b l ut re it was no one should have the privilege of making a being n p g re a s it pE t t e i vde to a e n t d a , m s i o n felt any n f y ro t m i tiany they idle pleased,o r cu r curious u its waspersons in tended of f e ba a sdr r t aa c aic h stil i obstacles gnu which money h l roie b cns e hte yia h nb a gy d t eh nw fi e e r apr s yaa t proved leotrifeceguiil suatri registry yal lands edo t sui l u i lr e oders ß ttpgh e ear g eog i t s wei Registrar respecting inbr whichu t t th h le a e t wd h l yd e e desired information. Much stress had been laid upon the not apprehend this to be a valid objection, or one that could be sustained; for, on the contrary, it was his opinion that the adoption of the plan would materially strengthen such, under any circumstances, doubtful securities. It should be recollected that no difficulty had ever arisen from the registry of ships, and that the provision for enabling equi table mortgagees to enter a caveat as a guard against fraud intended to be contained in this Bill, would afford them better security than they could have by the pre b s e e e n n t induced to alter his opinion on this subject; .

Lord JOHN RUSSELL presented petitions to the same effect from Taunton, Dawfish, Plymoton, and other places in the county of Devon ; and one from Wrexham, for the removal of statute labour. AFFIRMATION OF QUAKERS. Lord MORPETH brought forward his motion for leave to bring in a Bill to allow the affirmation of Quakers to be received in all cases in which oaths were at present required to be taken. At present Quakers were only disqualified from two offices, viz., any office under the Crown, and from serving on juries ; he proposed that the affirmation of Quakers be received in all cases, and thereby they would be qualified to do that from which they were now debarred. His Bill would also prevent the repetition of those trifling delays which bad recently taken place in that House, viz, on the Hon. Member for South Durham (Mr. Pease) taking his seat, and again yes terday when that Hon. Member was ballotted for to serve on an Election Committee. Looking at the question upon general grounds, he could not see how a Legislature that had taken away the necessity of an oath from this religious class, in cases of life and death, could stop short from admitting them to all the privileges and immunities of a state, from whose imposts and support theywere not exempt; and to which they contributed so much of industry, enter prise, good order, and wealth. There could be no ex pectation, whilst the state of the world continued any thing like it was at present, that the Quakers would take a fud part in the transactions that were going on. From the naval and military departments and services they would continue to be excluded by their own tenets ; but there were many other places under Government which they were well qualified to fill, and to which they might pru dently aspire. He would illustrate this by relating a circumstance which came immediately under his own notice, connected with this subject, and which, indeed, had first impressed his mind with the necessity of having those disabilities removed.—(Hear, bear.) The Noble Lord then narrated the case of an individual, a native of Barnsley, in Yorkshire, who had been introduced to his Lordship in consequence of his taste in literature. This young man was in an humble walk of life, and a vacancy occurring in the Post-office department in Barns ley, in consequence of a recommendation from bins (Lord Morpeth), and a representation in favour of the individual, signed by almost all the respectable inhabitants of Barns ley, his Grace the Duke of Richmond (Postmaster-General) appointed him to the office. But it turned out that as a Quaker he could not take the oath required to be taken previous to his entering the office. The young man then wrote to him, saying his objection to taking the oath bad offended some of his friends, but he could not corn nsit a cool deviation from what he conceived to be his duty, without embittering every hour of his life. He begged the pardon of the House for troubling them with this statement, but it was only an instance of what might occur any day in any part of the kingdom, and he hoped the measure be was about to introduce would have the effect of preventing its recurrence.— He had originally confined his intentions to the point of eligibility to office, and he had extended it more in deference to the views of others than his own ; and as to the Quakers, he had never beard a wish or suggestion on their part to be allowed the privileges his measure was intended to give. Though he took up this subject originally from a feeling of kindness towards Quakers, he stood forward not as their advocate, but of that which would be for the good of the community. The Quakers were a highly useful and sensible class of the community, and would doubtless make excellent and intelligent jurors, and the giving them the power to become so woul . be a sensible and agreeable relief to those who were at present liable to serve on juries. It appeared that there was but little doubt as t the present state of the law upon the subject of Quakers serving on juries; there was no doubt they were liable to be summoned, and in some cases they bad actually been se. There was an instance in the county of York, where a Quaker served upon a jury at the assizes at York; and the same man was afterwards prevented, on the ground of his being a Quaker, from serving on a jury at the quar ter sessions in the same county. At the last assizes at York, a respectable and very opulent Quaker was sum moned there to discharge the duty of a juror. He applied for release on the ground of being a Quaker, and his consequent inability to serve; his application was distance refused, from and his he waskeptown home dancing dto concern,attenda and nceat w a it g h r o e u d t t profit to any body, because he did not eventually serve. D A he e t e t . la s Admiralty S c ha e n s n s in in e o ne s wa t s he Ol d indicted fo Bailey r on the 7 wilful murder 2th on the high seas. A Quaker went into the box to serve on the jury—an objection was taken ; i‘ was over ruled, and the trial proceeded. The prisoner was found guilty. On a subsequent day he was called up to receive judgment, and his counsel made an objection to the ver diet. He was represented to have said that he knew of no alteration in the law ! that every or any subject could not be tried for any crime, utile:: it was on the oaths of twelve men.—(Hear.) In the present instance, it would appear that only eleven men had been sworn.—(Hear, hear.) The Learned Judge proceeded tc pass Bentenc-, and said the objection should be taken into co nsideration, and it was referred to the whole of the Judges , who e cided the objection was good, and the trial , therefore, not " -
