ETIRIT Or• THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. evening by his honourable and Learned Friend,' i whom he might now call his successor for Win chehea,and whose celerity in running :after and de-- tecting abuses on former occasions . was only to be equalled by the speed with which he seemed anxious! • to run-away from them now. His Honourable and Learned Friend, who, from long experience, per-, fectly understood both sides of the question, told thel, House that they ought not to burden judicial' officers with business, any more than other persons,) to a degree beyond their powers. This course; of argument was very new to his Learned Friend, who now, for the first time, discovered that the; Chancery Judges were worked too severely !" A:1 he period when Mr. Williams - thought the Chand ccry Judges, like schoolboys in holiday time, had! " all play and no work," Lord Eldon was in office.; ~. Cenettre was then unsparingly heaped both on thel P Lord Chancellor and the system of the Courts over! :which he presided; yet it is admitted that there never sat in the High Court of Chancery an able , Judge, and one more profoundly acquainted with the principles of Equity, than Lord Eldon—an' 'since his time the system has undergone no reforma tion. What is there to excite the praise of those who never before - alluded to the department of Westminster Hall but in tones of the bitterest con demnation ? We believe the present Lord Chan , eellor to be as just and impartial a Judge as any ee his great predecessors, but he has certainly disite . pointed those who were sincerely enxious for are form of the Chancery system by not redeeming the pledge which he gave, soon after his nomination t( the Great Seal, to submit himself a plan o_ effectual reform to Parliament. " In 1827," said Mr. Brougham, " the Lord Chancellor, shortly alter his accessisn to office,' pledge , himself to effect reform, and seemed only de .irons to obtain time for the purpose. ' Give ,ne.,' said he, ' but a little time, but one season, ant f pledge toy reputation—l pledge myself on tin faith of Parliament, on the faith of the Court of Chancery, and of the practitioners in that Court 'that 1 will mature a plan for securing the discharge of all the business expeditiously and accurately."— Such was the pledge of the Lord Chancellor.— Well : they gave him not one year, but three; and. during the lapse of that time, no change Win -, ,thought of, no reform agitated by him. To us ii • sppears very unaccountable that the Lord Chan-, cellor, even supposing he were not bound by any ; promise, should not undertake or encourage ; thorough reform of the Chancery system, as all tb delay and vexation which the unreformed systen occasions are sure to be visited on himself it public opinion, us was the case with Lore Eldon. It is the interest of a Judge that the machinery of his Court should work well, and te the public satisfaction, otherwise it is impossible tt prevent' it having an injurious effect on his judicia reputation. We perfectly ses-ce with Mr. Harvey ;het all the defects of the Court of Chancery, nume rous and appalling as they were, were attributable not to the Lotd Chancellor, but to thersystemove, which he presides; and we also agree with him tha: Lord Lyndhurst has been guilty of a strange incon sistency in abandoning, as Lord Chancellor, those :, propositions for the reform of the Court of Chaucer' which he advocated as Master of the _Rolls. Th, ruinous delay and expellee which suitors have to en counter in the Court, as at present constituted, is cause of complaint which every body has either felt or heard. As. to serious questions of real property w e admit that some part of the delay may be at tributable to subtle refinements and m taphysica di-sinctions, connected with the doctrines of contin gent remainders, executory devises, &c.; and also t. the modern absurd mode of conveyancing, which i• its intricate and voluminous as it was formerly dear, concise, and simple; but such defects ii the law cannot account for a Chancery suit beirn carried on, as it sometimes is, for two or three sue. cessive generations. Mr. Cooper, in his treatise oi the Court of Chancery, sta'es that if a legatee en. titled to 10,0001. tinder a will, have the misfortune to have the testamentary disposition questioned, an( that lie get au adjudication in his case in eight years he may consider himself a fortunate man ! A delay of so many years in a case like this can only ads( from the system of the Court being so constructer as necessarily to produce delay, and make suitor feel that " sickness of the heart which ariseti from hope deferred." This de lay in many cases. operates to the suitor as a denial of justice—deatl or ruin may overtake him before the decree is pronounced, and, as far as he is concerned, th• fullest vindication of his right in the end canno repair the mischief already suffered from the law' - delay. The present Bill, it is said, will give relief to the Chancellor; but Mr. Brougham asked" Why should they now give relic f to the Chancellor, whet they ought to beeia with giving relief to the suitors I Let the relief to the Chancellor at least go pars passu with that to the unhappy victims of his juris :fiction." One cause of the delay in this Court i, the payment of fees for judicial services propor donate to the prolixity of the proceedings, whist. Mr. Brougham rightly describes as a a defeat ti, justice—a bribe to delay." Much of the procrasti nation also arises from the manner in which the Master's office is executed, who, as the same Learn ed and lion. Gentleman observed, has all the chte s racteristics of a Judge except his responsibility Certainly, without.a cons sponding responsibility, re such power powek as a Master in Chancery exercises ought ti to be intrusted to any man—" sitting in silence ale the dark—seeing no one but the suitors who appeares before him—with no public to watch him—ne newspaper to report his proceedings—solving the ~ problem, not how he could expedite justice to the suitor, but how he could get his own salary."— These things, and others justly complained of in the . Chancery system, must be remedied by a very different sort of Bill than that at press nt before the House of Commons.—Morning Herald. Mr. Brougham's Bill for the establishment of local Jurisdictions is one of the most important measures ever submitted to tile Legislature of this country. A person little accustomed to look be.: neath the surface of things might suppose that, in a country.cailing itself enlightened, a measure of I this kind would encounter slight opposition. Thu man must have a large stock of assurance, indeed, who would dare to contend that there are any considerations sufficient to outweigh the benefit of bringing justice to the door of every man in. the t community. But every man who knows the world is aware that the most extensive beneficial measures, are precisely those which are most strongly opposed. They who profit by a system of abuse are compare- rively few and deeply interested, while,in a benefi to all, the share accruing to cinch is comparatively small. They who profit by abuses exert themselves with energy to thwart the measure of reform, while no one considers himself bound to make any grea exertion in support of him who merely labours fot the public good. It will be singular, indeed, if Mr. Brougham disarms the opposition of those tt ho may tre apprehensive of a diminution of profits from the success of his measure. We make these observa : dons, as it is but too general an error to suppose, ;hat because a measure is entitled to support, it will therefore be supported; and that because there ought to be no opposition, there will therefore be none. Every man who profits by an abuse fights for it in good earnest, while he who puts himself forts and as a reformer will have seldom more du n wishes for success. In the eleventh number of the Foreign Quarterly Review, just publiShed, there i, a curious illustration of the power of sinister inte rest to extend, in a fearful manner, horrors at whicli human nature revolts. The first great blow struck at prosecutions for witchcraft was the lowering the ° fees of official personages : .. " The Notaries Clerks And officials labouring in their vocation (says the writer of an excellent article on De-' monology and Witchcraft) grew rich front the enormous; fees attendant on these trials ; the executioner became a personage of first-rate consequence : ' generoso - equo in star aulici nobilisferebatur, aura argento que reititvs. Usor dus unarms luau certabat• cum nobilioribus ! Some diminution of this persecuting zeal took place in' consequence of a Rescript of John VII. (18th December,' 1591), addressed to the Commission, by which the fe.s' of the Court were restricted within mere moderate; For some time past the French Government ha, been taming its attention, With apparent, te4il. and to titiry, to subjects of manufacturing and commer ci.,l interest, without being able to rise above tin ureic bees, " or to dispel the ignorance, by, \ Inch they are surrounded. Hence, while They have schools of arts and trades—while they havcj estAlished lectures on chemistry, mechanics, and . poi Beal economy, for the benefit of the industrion , c!asses—while premiums are offered for improve mews - in almost every branch of manufactures— while exhibitions take place in one of the Royal r- 1 ilces of the products of industry, as a national apecH tilde, we find industry shackled with multiplied use!e6sj regulations, and a foreign trade almost extinguished' by impolitic restrictions. Hence, while they endea-, vour to encourage one kind of industry by bountieS,j they 4introy another by prohibitions, and, desirous !o enjoy incompatible advantages, repel from then ports those foreign products, without the admission, of which they cannot find a market for their own. Hence it haliperis, that two of the greatest tradin c p nations in the world, within a few leagues of each other, whose intercourse might be so advantageous, from their proximity' and from the variety of ex changes to which their reciprocal wants and peculia pr?ductioni might give rise, appear to have esta. A:shed a kind of - cOmmercial quarantine against each other.. - Hence, though it was proved, almost to - demonstration, during the suffering of the French wine trade since 1827, that France would derive incalculable btnefit Iron, relaxing her prohibitive system, and admit ting iron and colonial goods to exchange for the produce of her vineyards, the Govern ment still persists in maintain;ng expensive fours. denies at the public expense, in forcing the tnanufae ..iire of sugar from beet•root, and allowing several vintages to sour in the cellars of the wine-grower. That this conduct proceeds from antiquated preju • dice and imperfect information, rather than fron, any lack of activity on the part of the Govern ment, 'is evident, among other things, from th ` bustling attempts of almost every successive A ('.- ministratio n to do something striking in favour ef trade. M, tie Peyronnct, whose life has hitherto been almost exclusively devoted to the studies and dutie 47 of the legal profession, no sooner enters the hotel, of the Home Department than he is inspired Witl. the wish of improving the efficiency of those Boards with which his functions require him tr , , consult on affairs of trade and manufactures. Ac cordingly, we have in the Monitcur. . of Tuesday, a long repot by this Minister respecting these court cilK, followed by a Royal decree for remodellin g them... Since the institution of Councils-General of Commerce and Manufactures, the delegates of those national interests have composed two bodies. The Council of Commerce at present consists of 551 members, and that of Manufactures of 60. The Minister of .the Interior has the power ofi presiding at their general meetings. They are isu Illy consulted on any great measure affect ing the classes which they represent, sinl by whidi they are partially elected. In addition to the duty thus imposed upon them of giving, their opinion when asked, they sometimes venturel to make representations and remonstrances when the; Government would wish them to be. silent. This' was the case, as some of our readers ivi l recollect, at the commencement of the Spanish. inva sion, when both Councils concurred in peti tioning for a continuance of peace. Whether he Minister finds it inconvenient to .preside over two separate bodies whose interests are so int;- mately connected, or thinks that their ditties would, be more successfully •-performed by a union oil their counsels and a reduction of their merr-,1 her -4, it is difficult to say ; but in his report he has given some plausible reasons for forming the two commissions into one, and reducing their meinbers from 115 to 72. According to-the exist -1 ing system, the members of the Councils of Trade) and Manufactures were chosen partly by the classes which they represented, and partly by the Minister of the Interior. This mode of election is still to continue for the formation of the united board. I: France there are thirty-tour Chambers of Commerce established in the different great cities of the king-. dom. These Chambers are - to elect 30 merchants to represent trade; the Chambers of ManufacH tures are to elect 18 chiefs of Manufacturing establishments to represent their interest, and the Government retains the power of nominating 18. Besides, several of the larger towns are empow ed •to nominate two members, Paris itself j returning eight. The list thus formed must be sub mitted to the King for his approbation before thej Council can begin to act. Though the two Coun cils which formerly existed separately are thus to be consolidated into one, the Board is still, for the purposes of convenient consultation, to be divides' in . o two sections, with appropriate duties, and act ing under Vice-Presidents of their own choice. Tois latter regulation, (which in effect reconverts the Council into separate boards), taken in cornice with the diminution of the numbers, and thy' j necessity of submitting the lists to the Royal ap-1 jprobation, is sufficient to beget a 'suspieion j thlt M. de Peyronnet has invented this plausiblej measure of consolidation to get rid of two inconvc-j - -- niell deliberative bodies, and to secure the no-E A tr6 . rition of councillors less powerful and more trac- 4 , !table. The grounds of this suspicion will appear ".. strengthened, when it is considered that the great iimass of the industrious classes in France belong -'" to the Liberal side,—that the opposition to the P rxisring Cabinet is composed chiefly of the tea • nufactitring and mercantile .interests,—that at '-- the electoral colleges nearly all the voters whose qinditication depends cn the tax derived from pa-: x, icutes, or licences to trade, are hostile to the Ali-: niaterp,—and, that the monied interests, which the it. reformed councils represent, will form the strung .'- array against them in the nett Chamber. We shad s - ; see by the next arrival, what interpretation the Liberal Press puts upon the ordinance which we t, r have above described.—Times. ▪ Instead of . a reform in the practice of the Court . ,' of Chancery, which the public want, it is intended k• , , to burden tue country with the expense of a new . Judge in Equity, whom the public do not want. It :" was well observed by Mr. BrOughem; in the debate .„ on the Bill relative to this subject on Thursdal , night, that the motion submitted to the House by Sir C. Wetherell put to the test all those persons who had hitherto professed themselves anxious for -,.: a reform in the Court of Chancery; It has done so, -- t. and Mr. J. Williams, who first made himself known -:: in the House of Commons by an elaborate speech. ..-- containing a volume of facts to prove the imperative . 'ti necessity of Chancery reform, has. not stood that ','; test. He now supports a Bill, which, to use a fami liar phrase, " giies the go-by" to the question 01 .....s reform, and appoints art additional Judge to admi-..:. 'i . , nister that very, system which he formerly reprc -6 seated as being_ inadequate, under any Judge ot .1 number of Judges, fo'serve the purposes of justice, and give satisfaction to the country. Since tin :- delivery of the speech in question Mr. William / was out of Parliament for a time, and one wool(' • think he had taken advantage of his interval of po litical leisure to dip in that" Bethesda" which cures] . patriotic l aw y ers of th e f ever of re f orm , an d : _ 4 ; makes them treat their own former statements oil intolerable abuses as the wild fictions of a clis eased imagination ! In allusion to the miraculous h. 4 r. ange which has been wrought in the opinions of '''- the Learned Gentleman, Mr. R.

Mr. WHITE—Pray is your name Duke ? Mr. 3dker—No, Sir, I have given my right name. Mr. MUTE was extremely sorry to see persons of their respectability placed in such a situation, but the course he had to pursue was so plain, from the ORIGIN OF THE SEE OF CANTERBURY Augustine, the Roman missionary, made his arrival known to Ethelbert, and requested au .audience. The King of Kent, though not alto gether ignorant of the. nature of his Queen's re ligion, nor unfavourably disposed towards it, was yet • afraid of that miraculous, power which the Rotnisli clergy were then believed to possess, and which they were not backward at claiming for themselves. For this reason he would not ,receive them within the walls of his Royal city 'of Canterbury, nor under a roof; but went into the island with his nobles, and took his seat to !await them in the open air ; imagining that !thus he should be secure from the influence lof their spells or incantations. They ap proached in procession, bearing a silver crud.- fix, and a portrait of our Saviour upon a banner adorned with gold, and- chanting !the Litany. The King welcomed them cour teously, and ordered them to be seated; after which Augustine, stood up and through - an in terpreter whom he had brought from France, de livered the purport of his mission in a brief but well ordered and impressive discourse. "He was - come to the King, and to that kingdom (he said), for their eternal good, a messenger of good itidings ; offering to their acceptance perpetual ihappiness here and hereafter, if they would ac kept his words. The Creator and Redeemer 'had opened the kingdom of Heaven to the human race; for God so loved the world that he. ,had sent into it his only son, as that son himself testified, to become a man among the ichildren of men, and suffer death upon the cross fin atonement for their sins." To this address„ which was protracted to some length, the Kin : ;: returned a doubtful but gracious answer; his conversion shortly after followed. Be gave up his palace to the missionaries, and Augustine obtained a hull from the Pope to found the see of Canterbury. From this period it was regarded with the .highest veneration ; -but in the invasion of the Danes, both the church and city suffered the most grievous ruin, and no less than eight . thousand persons are said to have perished at; one time in the desolated town.—Dr. Lardner's Cabinet Cyclopedia. evidence which had been given, that he could not suffer any distinction of persons on a charge of such I serious nature to influence him in the performance his duty, let their condition or station in life be what it might. As to the conduct of the prisoners, it was not necessary for him to make any comment ; . . he should commit them all for trial at the next Sessions. The parties were then bound over in the sum of 201. each to prosecute, and the prisoners were fully •ommitted. A solicitor here applied to Mr. WHITE to allow lie prisoners to put in bail. Mr. WHITE could do no such thing. - As the Magistrate was about leaving the bench, :ome friends of tlie prisoners 'offered very respoh l ;ible bail, but it was refused. LONDON MARKETS.
