PARLIAMENTARY. —The opening of Parlia ment is attended with the splendour and brilliancy of the British Court. The session is looked upon as the expression of public opinion through the representatives of our CITIES, COUNTIES, and TOWNS. Every individual in the Empire desires to be repre sented by fashionable and well-made DRESS, and everyone knows it is best obtained at the Establishment of E. MOSES and SON, or at their West-End Branch. Public opinion has decided that E. MOSES and SON shall represent all classes in STYLES of ATTIRE, and they are determined to maintain the distinction of providing Dress to MEASURE or READY-MADE, the most Fashionable, Elegant, and Economica l. Their HATS, CAP, HOSIERY, SHIRTS, BOOTS and SHOES, &c., will represen every one as completely equipped for the season, which may con t tinue damp or rainy. Every description of WATERPROOF CLOTHING is manufac tured by E. MOSES and SON, and exhibits more variety than the productions of any House in the World—it is more serviceable, and considerably cheaper than any hitherto offered. The Colonies are represented by E. MOSES and SON—their in formation is direct from Australia and all other parts of the World, and the Goods in their Immense Wholesale Department are pre pared in accordance with the present state of the markets abroad, consequently Merchants, Shippers, and Emigrants, derive the greatest advantages from purchasing Clothing and Outfits at the Establishment of E. MOSES and SON. Full lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentltmen, with ship-sailing information, may be had on application, or post free. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like :alsehood of " Being connected with their Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for ,bylons reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER ROUSE IN OR OUT OF LONDON, except their own Establishments, as follows : London City Establishment, 154, 155. 156, and 157, Minories, 83, 4, 85, and 86, Aldgate, opposite the Church, all communicating.

That such powers as are now exercised by his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury with respect to the admis sion of proctors, so far as respects testamentary business, should be transferred to the judge of the Court of Probate. 3. That any proctors now practising in the country should, *abject to the approbation of the judge, be admit ted to practise in the Court of Probate. 4. That the judge of the Court of Probate should nomi nate a competent number of proctors, attorneys, or solici tors to practise in each district - office, and that no other person should be allowed to practise therein. 5. That contentious business should be open to attorneys or solicitors on being admitted in the court, as well as to proctors. VII.—As TO PROCEDURE IN THE COURT OF PROBATE GENERALLY. 1. That the distinction between probate in common form and probate in solemn form should be continued. 2. That the executor or administrator should, in the affidavit necessary for obtaining probate or administra tion, state to the best of his ability the nature and de scription, as well as the amount of the pe rsonal p roperty. 3. That, with this additional provision, probates and letters of administration of personal estate should be granted by the Court of Probate in common form as here tofore used in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. 4. That the probate, though taken out by the executor, should, in cases of wills operating both on real and per sonal estate, ensure for the benefit of the devisees, so that o a f n y t h d e e court,vise, upon p t o h n e p d r u o e d u p e r t o i o o f n o o f f p e roe e p r und o b a t e e r thhae havi seal ng been granted, would have a conclusive title as devisee in all other courts, and before all other tribunals. 5. That any devisee should have power to cite the exe cutors, and also residuary and other legatees, to prove the will or take administration with the will annexed ; and that upon their default the court should have power to grant a probate of the will recitinc , such default, the effect of which would be to perfect the devisee's title, but to leave the personal estate unrepresented, unless the court should think fit to appoint an official administrator ; but that application might subsequently be made to the court by the executor or other parties interested in the personal estate for letters of administration, with the will annexed, in which case they should be granted in the usual manner, but reciting or referring to the previous probate. 6. That in cases of wills operating on real estate only, probate should be granted as in common form upon the application of any devisee on behalf of himself and the other devisees, and should enure for the benefit of all the devisees. 7. That in every case in which a testamentary instru ment, whether constituting the whole or a portion of the deceased's last will, may directly or indirectly affect per sonal estate, letters of administration of the personal estate should not be granted without the whole will, whether consisting of one or more instruments, being annexed to the grant. 8. That whenever letters of administration, with the will annexed, are applied for by a person entitled to a grant, they shall enure for the benefit of the devisees as in the case of a probate, and should, in all respects, have the effect of a probate. 9. That if no such letters be applied for, a devisee should have power to cite the next of kin, or other persons prima rily entitled to take out administration, and that on their default the court should grant a probate, which should have precisely the same effect as a probate granted to a devisee on citing the executors or legatees. 10. That where a testator leaves two testamentary in struments, or sets of instruments, one affecting real estate only, and the other personal estate only, probate should be granted of each separately. 11. That the expense of the probate of a will by or at the instance of a devisee should be borne by the devisee ap plying for such probate. 12. That certificates of intestacy as to real estate should issue upon the application of the heir, or any one of the heirs, or any person showing an interest, and enure for the benefit of all the heirs and all persons having an interest. 13. That such certificates should be granted upon affi davit. 14. That caveats against probates of wills or grants of administration should be lodged in the Court of Probate, according to the existing practice of the Prerogative Court of Canterbury. 15. That the entry of such caveats may be made in the district offices as well as in the court in London, and should be considered as common form business. 16. That proceedings under caveats should be such as heretofore used in th Prerogative Court of Canterbury, and should continue to be considered as common form busi ness until, upon the caveat being warned by the proctor of the party propounding the will, or proposing to take out letters of administration, an appearance shall have been entered in the Court of Probate by the opposite party. 1e . That the entry of such appearance should be deemed a contentious proceeding, capable of being taken by any proctor or solicitor of the court. 18. That a similar course of proceeding with respect to caveats should be adopted in reference to certificates of intestacy. 19. That the practice of the !Prerogative Court of Can terbury, as to citing parties for the purpose of having wills established or proved in solemn form, or letters of adminis tration granted, or probates or letters of administration recalled, should be continued and applied to cases of real estate and to certificates of intestacy, heirs being on the same footing as legatees now are. 20. That any person propounding any testamentary paper for probate, or applying as heir for a certificate of intestacy, should be at liberty to cite whom he shall think fit, the Court of Probate having a power to require such other persons, if any, to be cited as it may think ne cessary. 21. That citations or other processes calling upon execu tors or other persons to accept or refuse probate or admi nistration, or to show cause why it should not be granted to the person suing out of the process, should be deemed common form business, and issued from and made return able in the district office as well as the court in London. 22. That subsequent proceedings, includin g the grant of probate or administration when the grant follows as of course and to either party, according to the tenor of the citation, should also be treated as common form business. 23. That if any proceedings of a contentious nature should ensue they should be taken only in the court in London. 24. That the practice of the Prerogative Court, of ad mitting an opponent to be a contradictor without admitting his tide, be adopted in the Court of Probate. VIII.--As TO PROBATE AND ADMINISTRATION THROUGH DISTRICT OFFICE. 1. That application may be made to the district office for probate or letters of administration only in the case in which the testator or intestate may have had a fixed place of abode at the time of his death within the district, and in which his personal property is sworn under 1,5001. 2. That there should be an affidavit as to the residence of the deceased and the amount of his property. 3. That this affidavit should be conclusive, and that the grant made through the district office should not be liable to be impeached or recalled on the ground that the deceased had no such fixed place of abode as alleged, or that his property exceeded that prescribed amount. 4. That the probate or lettei s of administration being under the seal of the Court of Probate, and not of any local tribunal, should be as valid as a grant made in London. 5. That provision shall be made for a daily transmission and return by post of documents between London and the district offices. 6. That, if it should be thought advisable, wills should remain for a limited time in the district office for the in spection and examination of parties interested, but should ultimately be sent up to London. 7. That indexes should be deposited in the district office, corresponding with the index in London, so that searches may be made in the country without the necessity of re sorting to the London office. 8. That no contentions testamentary business should be transacted in the district offices. 9. That where the testator or intestate has had no fixed place of abode at the time of his death, or where the death is not stated to have occurred in England, the application for probate or letters of administration should be made to the Court of Probate in London. 10. That it should not be compulsory on any party to apply to a district office for probate, or letters of adminis tration, but that in all cases it should be competent to the Court of Probate in London to grant probate or letters of administration wherever the residence of the deceased may have been, and whatever the amount of the propertY. 11. That certificates of intestacy should not be shouldaplic.a l for at the district office, but that i n every ease they be applied for in London. 12. That means for taking the requisite o com plying with otherprescribed formalities shoulad be ths provided and in the country ; but that when the amount of property is above the prescribed limit, the documents sh ould be exa mined and prepared fa c ers in London , and that the by the o probate or administration should be issued at once from the central court. EVIDENCE, AND PRACTICE IN IL—As TO PLEADINGS, T HE COURT OF PROBATE. 1. That th e s y stem of pleading at present prevailin g i n the Prerogative Court should be abolished. 2. That w ills should be propounded in a simple allege tion of the execution and attestation of the instrument and o f the sanity of the testator. 3. That claims to administration of intestacy should be 'n simple form of allegation of the intestacy of m ade the deceased, and of the character in which the claimant claims such administration. 4. That in other cases the preliminary pleadings shoult also be in a simple form. 5. That, except by leave of the cm t, no f w ater or other pleadings than such preliminary simple a llegations a s above suggested on the part of the p ar ty proponent s hould be entered into by him, and no pleadings of any kind by the party opposing. 6. That it should be obligatory on the court not to give such leave in cases in which the validity of the instru ment in dispute depends upon the execution or attestation of the instrument, or upon the sanity of the testator, or in any case for the purpose of pleading matters of evidence. 7. That in other cases the court should have the power to authorise or require either party to bring in such state ment of the case as it shall see fit. 8. That each party shall be under the obligation of bringing in, as the first step in his proceeding, a full affidavit as to testamentary papers in the form now used in the Prerogative Court, and technically called an " affi davit of scripts." 9. That each party should have the power to exhibit in terrogatories for the examination of the other, as adopted in suits in the Court of Chancery under the recent altera tions in the practice of that court, and to enforce produc tion of documents as used in the same court. 10. That upon application made to the court founded upon affidavit, stating that there are reasonable grounas for concluding that any person is in possession or has the L~ purporting use, the court st such per and bring in it. .ud the exit,- the mode in ave a _inaiy power to examine witnesses orally before the judge. 13. That it should also have power to summon a jury for the trial of issues, or to direct issues to be tried at law. 14. That in every case it should be in the discretion of the court whether the question should be sent a jury or not. -- 15. That power should be given to the judge of the Court of Probate, with the approbation of the Lord Chan cellor, to frame general rules and orders for the regulation of the process and practice of the court, and particularly for defining what portion of the business is to be con sidered as common form or non-contentious business, to be transacted exclusively by proctors, or in the district offices by persons appointed to act as proctors. 16. That, with the exceptions above pointed out, the practice of the court, except so far as altered by general orders, should be that at present existing in the Prerogative Cuurt of Canterbury. X.—LIMITATION OF TIME. 1. That no proceeding should be taken to establish a will or recall probate after the expiration of 20 years from the date of the certificate of intestacy or grant of administra tion or probate. 2. That, notwithstanding the general rule, any devisee or heir should be at liberty to proceed to establish a will or recall probate, but as to his own interest only, within the time within which, assuming his estate to be an estate at law, he might bring an ejectment. 3. That a similar rule should prevail with reference to personal estate. 4. That a similar period should be fixed after which an administration in case of intestacy should not be liable to be revoked. 5. That parties should be authorised to proceed in cases of fraud after the expiration of the limited period, pro vided they obtain the special leave of the court for the purpose, but not otherwise. XL—APPEAL FROM THE COURT OF PROBATE. 1. Tiiat all orders and decisions of the court should be subject to re-hearing before the Court of Appeal in Chan• cery. 2. That an appeal should lie from the decision of that court to the House of Lords. 3. That a party dissatisfied with the decision of the Court of Probate should not be bound to go to the Court of Appeal in Chancery, but should be at liberty to appeal direct to the House of Lords if he should think fit. 4. That the Court of Appeal in Chancery should be itt liberty to admit fresh evidence if it should seem necessary to the purposes of justice to do so, according to the practice now prevailing in the ncclesiastical courts and before the Judicial Committee of the Privy Cou nc il. 5. That a time should be limited within which an appeal should be presented. 6. That an appeal should not stay proceedings in the court of probate, but that the court appealed from, as well as the court of appeal, should have power to stay the pro ceedings if it should so think fit, and on such terms as it may think fit. 7. That the application to stay proceedings should be made in the first instance to the court which pronounced the order or decision appealed from. 8. That upon the establishment of the Court of Probate, the jurisdiction o f h er M a jesty in Council in matters tes tamentary arising in England or Wales should cease, ex cept as to matters which may then be pending there. XII—TRANSFER OF EXISTING SUITS IN MATTERS TESTAMENTARY. That suits which upon the establishment of the Court of Probate may be pending in other testamentary courts in matters testamentary, should all be transferred to the court of probate, to be dealt with according to the practice now existing in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, except so far as the court may consider it expedient in any particular case to adopt the practice proposed to be followed by the Court of Probate, in which case power should be conferred on the court to do so. 26 h..

Rear-Admiral Chads, C. 8., just promoted from cap tain of the Excellent, gunnery -ship, has been appointed to a command of a division of the fleet intended for the Baltic. The gallant admiral is a fortunate officer. He ob tained the honour of the storming of the forts at the Isle of Bourbon, where his senior lieutenant, Norman, was killed ; he obtained the honour of fighting the Java, when she was taken by the Constitution, on account of his captain (Lambert) having Leen killed by almost the last shot ; and he also obtained the honour of the vic tories in the Irrawaddy, at the first Burmese war, the senior in command, Captain Alexander, who concluded the war, having died of fever a few days after he had signed the treaty. We have no doubt that Rear- Admiral Chads' experience will be of great service to the commander-in-chief. PORTSMOUTH, FEB. 6. The Illustrious, 72, training ship, Captain Robert Harris, is shipping her guns alongside the dockyard. The Hecla, 6, paddle-wheel sloop, Master-Commander Peter Wellington, having had her copper examined, and all being found right, was undocked this morning, and will go out of the steam-factory basin this evening, to be victualled and stored for the North Sea service, al ready specified. We stated, in announcing Mr. Wel lington's appointment, that he had been employed in China and on the coast of Syria. This has brought us letters from Masters, who construed that information into stating that Mr. Wellington had been employ e d to survey those waters. The error is theirs—not ours. The Cyclops, paddlewheel steam-transport, Master- Commander Robert W. Roberts, arrived at Spithead this morning from the eastward, en route to the Medi terranean station, with Royal Artillery, &c., on board. Her Majesty's steam-yacht Fairy, Mr. D. N. Welch, master, R.N., was removed out of No. 6 dock this afternoon, and placed in the steam basin to prosecute her refit. The Sprightly steam-tender, Mr. George Allen, Act ing Master, commanding, left this morning with a large number of volunteers and supernumeraries for the ships fitting at the eastward. At Spithead.—The Boscawen, 70, Captain Glanville ; Juno, 26, Captain Fremantle ; Leopard (paddle), 18, Captain George Giffard ; Frolic, 16, Captain Nolloth ; and Cyclops, Master Commander Roberts ; the Edin burgh, 58, Captain Hewlett ; and Hogue, 58, Captain Ramsay, are hourly expected up from Plymouth. CALLING OUT THE COASTGUARD.—An order has been promulgated here to-day that one half of the number of men employed in the coastguard shall be immediately draughted for service on board ship. This will at once enable many ships to fill up their crews with the finest seamen (already trained by Captain Jerningham to great gunnery and man-of-war exercises) they could have. There are about 2,800 of these able-bodied, hardy, and trusty coastguardmen fit for service afloat, and of them selves at once a nucleus for a fine fleet's crew. _ THE COAST VOLUNTEERS.—Captain Peter Fisher concluded his enrolment at this port of men for the Royal Naval Coast Volunteers this afternoon at the Sailors' Home, Portsea. Forty is the number of men he has entered, but he might have enrolled 200 more, had he accepted all who came forward. Those rejected were considered unsuitable candidates from various causes. WOOLWICH, FEB. 6. APPOINTMENTS. Rear-Admiral Henry D. Chads, recently promoted from the Captain of the Excellent gunnery-ship at Ports mouth, to hoist his flag in the Edinburgh, 58, screw steam-ship of 450 horse power, at Devonport.

An order was received at Woolwich Dockyard to day, announcing that the Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty had placed in the hands of Mr. Wilkinson, of Pall-mall, the arrangements for the new clothing of the officers and men of the dockyard brigade here. The uniforms are to be entirely altered ; the shako is to be superseded by the Prussian helmet ; the companies are to be 100 strong, and have one captain and two subal terns to each. The age of non-commissioned officers must not be under 20 or above 45, inclusive. An inspection took place last week of the guns and gun-carriages used by the dockyard brigade, when several were condemned, and they were sent down to the Royal Arsenal to-day, th a t others i n every respec t efficient might be su pp lie d in their place.

MEDICAL AD YOUTH AND MATURITY.CE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF DR. SAMUEL LA'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matriculated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Sec., &c. MAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile irregularities and excesses, which have pro luced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps any other class of dis ases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitftil Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their ,rlless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its consequenc es may be avoided, and above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional lerangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR. LA'MERT has for a long series of years been engaged In an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society is free. In selecting this department of practice, he has been amply rewarded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to the care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirated publications, assumed fcrcign names and titles, and pretended virtues ot their patent nostrums, have inflicted serious injury on those who have beets induced to place faith in their pretensions.

That, subject to this provision, the officers of the Court of Probate should be selected from advocates or bar risters, or persons practising as proctors or solicitors, or from other competent persons now engaged in the perform ance of active duties in some court exercising testamentary jurisdiction. U. That the judge and officers of the court should re spectively be paid wholly by salaries. 12.

That the accountant-general of the Court of Chan cery should be the accountant-general of the Court of Probate. 16. That proper provisions be made for enabling him to act under the direction of the Court of Probate with re spect to funds subject to the jurisdiction of that court. 111.-As TO THE JURISDICTION AND POWERS OF THE COURT OF PROBATE. 1. That the court should have full and exclusive juris diction to determine all questions as to the validity of any instrument purporting to be testamentary, whether re lating to real or personal estate, and whether or not made in execution of any power. 2. That the court should have authority, as to personal estate, to grant probates of wills and letters of admini stration as heretofore used in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, but not confined as heretofore to the province of Canterbury. 3.

That the court should have power to appoint admi nistrators of personal estate pending any suit in the court touching the validity of any testamentary instrument affecting the same, or the grant of letters of administra tion. 8.

That the court should have power to allow official administrators and receivers a reasonable remuneration out of the estate, such remuneration to he fixed by the court. 14.

Captain Thompson's troop, 7th Dragoon Guards, move from Limerick to Caher. The Hon. Wyndham H. Qui n , Grenadier Guar d s, h as arrived on a visit to his brother, Earl Dunraven, Adare _ Manor. Henry O'Grady Crocker, Esq,, is nominated to an ensigncy in the 47th ; depot at 13irr. Major-General Sir James Maxwell Wallace, K.H., is to be colonel of the 17th Lancers ; and Major-General Thomas E. Napier, C. 8., late in command of this district, colonel of the 16th Foot. Captain Kilvingnon, 62d, aide-de-camp to Major-Ge neral Napier, is on leave to the 25th March, when he joins his corps. The 35th lost four men by desertion in the last month. Major Hart, 49 th , retires on half -pay, an d Major Dalton graduates to be senior major, and leaves the depot at Cork for Malta. General Gage J. Hall (colonel of the 70th) has been confined to his bed fo r the last three weeks very ill. He obtained his ensigncy May 29, 1783. On Saturday Major George G av i n, late of the 16th Lancers, was sworn i n hi g h sheriff of Limerick, before Robert Anglin, E sq ., commissioner o f t h e C our t o f Exchequer. AN EMIGRANT Sari SAVED BY THE PASSENGERS.— On Saturday information. was received at Ll oy d s th a t the fine screw-ship the Therms, 1,500 tons register, had had a very narrow escape, and was compelled to bear up for Oban. The Themis, for Melbourne, sailed f rom Liver pool on the 29th of January, with a. very valuable cargo, and full complement of passengers, num bering about 300. Her c rew, as in the case of the ill fated Tayleur, consisted principally of Chinese and Lascars, who make very inefficient seamen in these cold latitudes. The vessel had scarcely cleared the land when she encountered very severe weather, the cold being so extremely intense as to benumb the crew, and render them incapable of performing any duty. In this state the adult passengers volunteered to work the ship, which they did with surprising alacrity ; but the captain considered it advisable to run for some port where he might obtain a few English seamen that he could depend upon, and so bore up for Oban. The captain states that, had it not been for the passengers, the consequences must have been fearful. Po ST-OFFICE LETTERS.—On Saturday, a return printed, showed the great increase in the last fourteen years in chargeable letters delivered in the United Kingdom. In 1850, the number delivered was 347,000,000, being an increase on the previous year of 9,500,000. In 1851, the number was 360,500,000 ; increase 13,500,000. In 1852, the number was 379,500,000; increase, 19,000,00 0 . And last year 411,000,000 letters were delivered, being ' an increase of 31,500,000. XIII—FEEs. 1. That all fees taken for the despatch of testamentary business, whether office fees or proctorial fees, should be reconsidered and settled. 2. That an effective system of taxation of proctors' bills as between themselves and their clients should be provided. YIP.-REAL REPRESENTATIVE. 1. That it is expedient that some court should be invest ed with a discretionary power to appoint upon summary application same person or persons to be a representative or representatives of the real estate of any person deceased, who should have power to sell and convey such estate and to receive the rents and profits thereof, and to give discharge for the purchase moneys, rents, and profits of such estate, and to raise money by mortgage thereof, such appointment to be made upon the application of some person interested in the estate, and to be confined to such real estate of the deceased as may not be vested in trustees in trust for sale, with power to give discharges to purchasers. 2. That the court to be intrusted with the power to ap pointed a real representative to the extent recommended should be the court exercising jurisdiction to administer the estates of deceased persons, and not the Court of Probate. XV. - COMPENSATION. 1. That subject to the provisions of the act of the Gth and 7th of William IV., c. 77, s. 25, the acts extending the same, and the act of the 10th and 11th of Victoria, c. 98, s. 100, the judges and registrars of the various courts now exercising testamentary jurisdiction should be indem nified against the loss which they will sustain by the abolition of the testamentary jurisdiction ; but that such of them as have exercised their respective offices by depUty should not receive compensation in respect of the portion of the profits which the deputy has received. 2, That subject to the provisions of the abovenamed acts, the deputies should receive compensation for the loss of their emoluments. 3. That if the course recommended of preserving the common form business to the proctors in Doctors'-com mons, should be followed, they should not receive any compensation. . _ _ 4. That the same rule should not apply to the proctors now practising in the country, and who may not be ade quately indemnified by being authorised to practise in the district offices. 5. That if Parliament should see fit, compensation should be made to other persons who may have equitable claims thereto, if the measures suggested should be adopted. 6. That unless Parliament should think fit to provide such compensation from the consolidated fund, a system of fees should be established in the new court sufficient to produce the sums which may be required ; and that these fees should be reduced from time to time as the claims for compensation are satisfied. XVI.— As TO ONE PROBATE BEING SUFFICIENT FOR TRZ UNITED KINGDOM, That the effect of probate should be limited within the jurisdiction of the tribunal by which it is granted. CONCLUSION. The questions embraced by your Majesty's Commission are of such a nature that much difference of opinion has necessarily arisen among us upon questions of detail, but we have not thought it necessary to state these differences. Differences, however, have also arisen among us upon the following material parts of the report : I. Whether the jurisdiction of the Court of Probate should extend to real estate. 11. Whether the testamentary jurisdiction should not be vested in the Court of Chancery, with all the powers and authorities of that tribunal, including powers of construc tion and administration. 111. Whether the exclusive right to transact testamen tary business in "common form" should be permanently continued to the proctors. And such of us as have dissented on any of these points have felt it our duty to append our dissents to our signa tures to this report. We humbly offer to your Majesty's royal consideration this our second report. JOHN ROMILLY. (L.S.)* G. J. TURNER. (L.S.)t RICHARD T. KINDERSLEY. (L.S. WILLIAM PAGE WOOD. (L.S.) JOHN DODSON. (L.S.)

The unemployed operatives in the town continue as a body to behave with the utmostdecorurn, but within the last few weeks there has been a frightful increase in the commitments to the House of Correction—idleness hav ing produced its inevitable result, vagabondage And pil fering in the neighbourhood. Many youths, who, but for the strik e, would have been pursuing a course of industry, are now in gaol ; and many others have commenced a career of crime, which wilt soon land them th ere. P auperism is fearfully increased. Last week, the amount of out-door relief was 2691. Bs. 11d. ; th e corresponding week l ast year was only 1541. increase of more than a 7s. 7d. ; being an hundred and thirty per c ant. The cumber of inmates in the workhouse is above fifty per cent. more. Upwards of 200,0001. have been lost to the workpeople of the town in wages alone ;many businesses d epen d en t on th e cotton trade are almost at a stand still ; and tradesmen, who have lost the large amount of profit which would have accrued to them from th e expen di ture o f suc h a sum ' with diminish e d rece i pts, to meet larger de mands charity, a n d i ncrease d taxat i on for th e m po a ,, nclail ha and other local objects, as well as in some instances s ae even heavier taxation of subscriptions, to perpetuate the very thing which is not merely injuring, but, in some instances, ruining and pauperising them. The only consolation in this direful state of things is, that it is hastening to an end. We already hear of the operatives being disaffected to the committees, of the diminished attendance at the Orchard meetings, of the disunion in the councils, of the books that " won't balance," of ;the cash that is missing from the box, of this official being suspended, and that brought to ac count, and, in one instance at least, of a committee being appointed to inquire after a mysterious disap pearance of a large amount of coin ; in short, to give a reply to the often-put but not yet satisfactoril answered Iquestion about "How the money goes. " —Preston Chronicle. DEPARTURES FOR AUSTRALIA.—The departures f rom the port of London for the Australian colonies d ur i ng the past week show a considerable increase. They have comprised altogether 15 vessels —seven to Port Philip, with an aggregate burden of 2,838 tons ; five to Sydney, with an aggregate burden of 3,138 tons ; two to Hobart Town, with an aggreg ate burden o f 949 tons ; and one to Launceston, of 578 tons. Their total capacity was, consequently, 7,5.03 tons. The rates of freight show a I tendency to decline.
