In the House of Lords last night, The Smithfield Market Removal Bill was read a third time and passed. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the third raiding of the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill. The Earl of ABERDEEN renewed his protest against the measure. The Bishop of OXFORD considered the Papal rescript to be an aggression upon the Church as well as upon the State, and therefore supported the Bill. The Earl of GALLOWAY opposed the Bill, as did Lord STUART DE DECIES. The Duke of ARGYLL, the Earl of GLENQALL, and Earl FORTESCUE supported the Bill, and Earl NELSON and the Marquis of SLIGO opposed it. Lord REDESDALE considered that the plan originally proposed by the Earl of DERBY was infinitely preferable to the Government measure. Viscount GAGE would have much preferred a measure to check the iccrease of convents and nunneries. Earl GREY explained the status of the Roman Catho lic bishops in the colonies. The Bill was then read a third time. On the question that the Bill do pass. Lord MONTEAGLE moved the insertion of an additional clause with the view of preventing the Bill from inter luring with the spiritual jurisdiction and function of Ito man Catholic bishops. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE contended that the clause, though unobjectionable, was unnecessary, as the Bill would not interfere with spiritual matters. After some observations from the Earl of ST. GER tANS, the Bishop of OXFORD, and Lord CRANWORTH, Lard MONTEAGLE withdrew his motion. The Bill was then passed. Some Bills on the table were subsequently forwarded A stage, and their Lordships adjourned. Iu the early sitting of the Hous© of Commons yes terday, The Medical Charities (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and parsed. The remainder of the sitting was occupied in consider ing the Metropolitan Sewers Bill, which passed through Committce. In the evening sitting, _ Mr. FREWEINMOVed " That the Excise duty on hops is impolitic and unjust, and ought to be repealed at an early period." Mr. FULLER seconded the resolution. Mr. L. HODGES moved, as an amendment, " That on any reduction of excise duty on hops taking place, it is expedient to reduce the excise duty on British hops and the Customs duty on foreign hops by one penny per pound weight each together, with the 5 per cent. addi tional duty thereon granted by the Act 3d Vict., c. 17." After sonic observations from Mr. BARROW and Mr. CURTEIS, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER refused again to enter on a question which had been discust:ed four times during the session. He hoped the House would not con sent to the resolution. After a few words from Sir J. TYRELL, Mr. COBDEN, and Mr. BASS, the amendment was withdrawn, and the House divided on the original motion, which was re jected by a majority of 59 to 30. Mr. HEYWOOD then moved, pursuant to notice, "Iln address to the QUEEN, praying her Majesty to issue di rections, is such way as she may deem fit, that the Crystal Palace may be retained in its present position until the Ist of May next, with the view of determining ♦whether the building could be appropriated to purposes of public utility or amusement." Colonel SIBTHORP opposed the motion, and denounced tho Exhibition as having tempted the working classes into dissipation and extravagance. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the results of the Exhibition had been most gratifying, yet the Commissioners could not think themselves justified in delaying the demolition of the Crystal Palace, unless there were a general expression of public opinion in favour of its retention. Sir ROBERT INGLIS thought the pledge to pull down the building could not be violated. Mr. EWART, Mr. MACGREGOR, and Colonel THOMPSON spoke in favour of the motion, and Mr. GoULBURN, Mr. RANYES, and Lord SEYMOUR against it. Atter a few words from Mr. WALLEY, Mr. VILLIERS, and Mr. GEACH in favour of the motion, the House di vided, and the motion was carried by a majority of 78 to 47. Mr. C. ANSTEY then brought forward the motion of which he had given notice on the subject of transporta tion to Van Diemen's Land, but before the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had concluded his speech the House was counted out, at ten minutes to Eleven o'clock. It will be observed with universal satisfaction that the House of Commons last evening, by a majority of 75 against 47, decided in favour of the motion of the Hon. Gentlema n the Member for North Lancashire. The Crystal Palace, therefore, will remain untouched till the first of next May, in order to allow the public time to discover whether it may not be advisable to determine upon its permanent preservation. In ac cordance with what we announced yesterday, the principal arguments brought forward by the oppo nents of Mr. llEywoon, were to the effect that the •maintenance of the structure in question would be a breach of faith reflecting seriously on the national honour, the Government having insisted upon a pledge that the building should be destroyed immediately after - the close of the Exhibition, and that pledge having been solemnly given by the Royal Commissioners. 'The absurdity of reasoning such as this requires no i great display of logical acumen in crier to effect its demonstration. It is as ridiculous as anything could well be, and the more so from the extraordinary em phasis with which it was supported from the floor of ;the Imperial Legislature. As an illustration of this, suppose a soldier was wounded in battle, and that the first army surgeon he encountered on the field assured him it would be neces sary to amputate his leg, the unfortunate man consenting to submit to that operation : suppos ing that some little time afterwards a more eminent practitioner, a BEODIE or a LISTON, were called in, and that thereupon amputation was decided to be altogether unnecessary—shall anything so prepos terous be insisted upon as that the limb must never theless be lopped off, simply upon a wretched punc tilio of honour ? Utterly ludicrous as such a con jecture may appear, the case of the Crystal Palace, the nation, and the Royal Commissioners is strictly analogous. Look at the matter in the clearest light imaginable, and it will be seen that the Honourable Representative of Finsbury was right when he said that the arrangement the Crystal Palace imme diately for the removal of after the close of the Exhibition was an arrangement of the public with the public, one con sequently admitting of any conceivable change or modification on the part of the community itself, just as the subject might, on mature resection, appear to suit its convenience. Yet, setting all these considera tions at defiance, putting on one side common sense, and plain reason, and sound judgment, the petulant antagonists of the motion of Mr. HEYWOOD con tinued to harp last evening on the promise of the Royal Commiss ioners, mantaining that any evasion of that promise would be injurious to the credit of the country and to the honour of the population. Among these marvello us l y o b tuse mal contents it will be perceived, by a glance at the de bate, that the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ren dered himself singularly conspicuous. Singularly, we say advisedly ; not that we are in any way sm.•. prised at a new act of absurdity on the part of Si r CnauLEs Noon—that having come, long since, to be regarded by us simply as a matter of course—but because there is, in his present proceeding, a more than usual evasion of the truth, a more than ordinary defiance of all the decencies of honest dealing. It has so happened that this unlucky personage has, from the first moment of his entering office, been rushing prepense and deliberately counter to public opinion, battering his head against that most stubborn of all the rocks that can be encountered b y au udminis. THE SUN, trator, and proving biz nself, in so doing, the unpo• pular, as Lord PALMI;RSTON has shown himself the popular Minister of the Cabinet—the former the greatest, the latter tl: e smallest of the statesmen in her MAJESTY'S Government. As a kind of supple mentary testimony of these facts, we have had gra tuitously thrust upon our attention the speech deli vered last evening in the House of Commons by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER. Reiterating their one argument against the preser vation of the Crystal Palace, the antagonists of Mr. HErwooD yesterday insisted, as we have shown, that the building must be removed on the close of the Exhibition, because any other course of proceeding would be detrimental to the national honour, the nation being pledged to the removal of the edifice by the solemn engagement entered into from the first by the Royal Commissioners. Mr. GinLnular maintained this opinion, Sir RoneßT Iseaeis maintained it, and, above all and beyond all, let it not be forgotten for a moment, Sir CHAR.LES WooD maintained it. Now it appears to us, that this little faction of opponents to the scheme of preservation have, in their extreme self-sufficiency, entirely overlooked one very important consideration, and one which it must be acknowledged materially militates against the force of their argument. What we would remind them of in the matter may be very readily explained. We would say to them—lf there is this solemn re sponsibility, on a plea of honour, requiring the re moval of the Crystal Palace after the close of the Industrial Exhibition, how do you account for that provision in the contract entered into between the Messrs. Fox and HENDERSON and the Government, whereby it was stipulated, on the part of the nation, that in case it might ultimately be deemed advisable to retain the structure in its present posi tion, an additional sum of 70,0001. should be paid over to the builders in lieu of the materials which they would otherwise have carted away themselves ? It seems to us that this stipulation has been altogether forgotten, or that it has been overlooked, or worse still, that it has been disingenuously set aside by Sir CHARLES WooD and his companions in their paltry opposition to the proposal of the Member for North Lancashire. It is a provision we conceive, moreover, which would not only exo nerate the Government in any change it might deem advisable in regard to the palace of the Exhibition, but one which actually empowers them to study in this matter the wishes as well as the interests of the po• pulation. It must be confessed, nevertheless, that our demon stration of the unfairness of the arguments adduced by the enemies of the Crystal Palace is somewhat superfluous, when it is remembered that the votes in the House of Commons, last evening, decided emphati cally in favour of the continuance of that struc ture upon its present site until the May-day of 1852, by which time ample opportuni ties will have been afforded for the discovery of its value or unimportance as an adornment to the British metropolis. The thanks of the public are due to Mr. IlErwooD for the sagacious course pursued by him in a matter of some difficulty, and under circumstances of no inconsiderable embarrassment. Indirectly he has been, we are satisfied, the means of preserving to the capital of England an edifice essen tially characteristic of the age, and one which may prove the means of very materially advancing the cause of enlightenment and the interests of civilization. The case of Mrs. ANNE HICKS, whose recent sum mary expulsion from Hyde-park, has excited the public attention and given rise to a paper warfare waged with considerable energy on either side, was last night brought under the consideration of the House of Commons. Lord SEYMOUR, in his official capacity of 'First Commissioner of Woods and Forests, made the promised and anxiously looked-for statement respecting the eviction of the veteran ginger-beer seller. We are bound to say that the Noble Lord, completely estab lished the legality of his proceedings. Mrs. HICKS had no claim that could be enforced at law, nor could she in a court of justice defend her possession against the authority of the Crown. It seems to us, however, that the Chief Commissioner travelled a little out of the record. He declared that the unfortunate sufferer " did not hold any house by the gift of GEORGE 11., or of any other Royal personage." L needs no ghost to tell us that, Horatio." If she had such " it gift" you could not have driven her from her bumble tenement ; she might have defied all your powers. "Prescription," a century's uninterrupted possession might not have sufficed, but a Royal " gift" could not well be impeached by one of the servants of the Crown, particularly by one who regards with such perfect equanimity the invasions and usurpations on the Royal forests, by persons occupy ing more exalted stations in society than Mrs. ANNE HlcLs. The Noble Lord excited a certain degree of risibility from some aristocratic " claqueurs" while detailing the correspondence that had taken place between Mrs. limas and the Commissioners. It might not have been conducted with very great elo quence or elegance on the part of the claimant; the value of " a little fireplace, for the purpose of making a cup of tea," must appear infinitely ludicrous to persons of ample fortune. It is not by such argu ments that the Duke of Gaarroie would assert his right to retain the annuities of 7,1911. 12 s , from the Excise revenue, and 3,4071. 10s. from the Post-office. His complaints, if called upon to esta blish the perfect legality of his demands, would be lis tened to with respectful and earnest attention, and his advocate would receive the sympathy of the audience, Mrs. Hicas has, however, unfortunately no seat in the hereditary branch of the Legislature. Although a satirist . might maintain that th ere are many old women m that august assembly, ANNE Hicks is not one of the number, nor has she any friends or relatives returned for nominati on b oroug h s, to support the Minister in the House of Commons, and receive a full equivalent through the intercession of the Treasury whipper-in. The fact, that she ne glected to put forward the strength of her case, and received the necessary permission, rather from the good feeling of a former Chief Commissioner, than on the fact that she had been, if not a licensed, at least, a tolerated occupant for so many years, and that she owed the privilege to a valuable personal service rendered by her ancestor to the great-great grandfather of our Most Gracious SOVEREIGN, must be ascribed to her ignorance and inability to obtain professional advice, and not made a subject of heart less jestings, and clumsy and vapid attempts at wit. After all, however, there has been no attempt to impeach or contradict in any particular the story which the injured woman detailed at the Marl borough-street Police-court. She simply stated that her grandfather had extricated King GEORGE the SECOND from the Serpentine, and had received, as a mark of Royal gratitude in return, the privilege of vending cakes and similar articles in the park—that it had continued for many years in the enjoyment of his son, and had eventually descended to her self—that eke had been allowed by the then Com missioners to build a shed, on which she had expended all her savings, and that she had been driven out, without any adequate recompense, and her humble structure rased to the ground. This story has now been confirmed in every particular by Lord SEYMOUR. We say in every particular, because, under the circumstances of the case, the points not referred to by the Noble Lord may be taken as con fessed. Had he the power of denying with truth the origin, or the long continuance of the privi lege, he would unquestionably have done so; and it is quite clear that Mrs. limns would not have been allowed to build her shed in 1843 if she had not some claim upon the indulgence of the then Commissioners. We do not, however, blame Lord SEYMOUR. We may sympathise with Mrs. limns, and be quite willing that she should receive such pecuniary assist ance as will place her in at least as good a position as that which she had previously occupied. Her cha racter we believe to be unimpeachable, although she might occasionally have resorted to the woman's weapon—the tongue—to such an extent as to infuse a salutary terror into those whom Lord SEYMOUR euphoniously terms " the Park authorities." She is, therefore, a fitting object of charity; but that is no reason why she should be permitted to transfer to her private use any portion of public property. We have, how ever, a right to demand that the " principle " should be fully carried out—that the various usurpations on :LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JULY 30, 1851. the Crown lands should be closely investigated from the very highest to the lowest party concerned, and that every trespasser should be treated with the most stringent severity. The question of " hardship " cannot arise—the treatment of ANNE HICKS has disposed of that plea. For surely the refusal to sanction the pri vilege of which she and her ancestors had been in the uninterrupted enjoyment for more than 100 years, was as great " a hardship" to her as the removal of their cattle could be to the persons claiming any right of common or other easement on any of the Royal parks or forests. A valuable prece dent has, therefore, been established, for which we thank Lord SEYMOUR. It must be of the greatest use to Lord DUNCAN in his future proceedings. It will also be exceedingly beneficial to those demanding inquiry into the legality and propriety:of the hereditary pensions to the Dukes of GRAFTON and MARLBO ROUGH, the heirs of the Duke of SCHOMBERG, the Earl Cowraß, the fortunate assignees of the late CHARLES BooNE„and a host of otherso% ho must tremble when thinking of the severity displayed towards ANNE HICKS, who, after all, had perhaps, as strong here ditary claims, as any of the parties. Lord SEYMOUR has fully vindicated himself and the Government, but he must extend an equal measure of justice to all, lest what might be considered a justifiable pro ceeding may be_ looked upon as an act of tyranny and oppression. His net must not be so constituted that the minnow alone will be captured while the tritons can readily break through and escape from its meshes. SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) WESTON AND ANOTHER V. LANGBOURNE.—A DIMO NOURED CHEQUE. The plaintiffs in this action are meat sales' .n in Newgate-street, and defendant is a timber merchant neer Maidenhead. The action was brought to recover the sum of 121. on a dishonoured cheque. Defendant did not deny his handwriting, but pleadsci that the cheque had not been duly negotiated. The plaintiffs' Attorney put in the cheque, which waF ' made payable to John Moore or bearer, and it was paid to a Mr. Marshall, who paid it to the plaintiffs. The Learned Gentleman contended that es the defendant did not appear to support his plee, it was only necessary to put in the cheque to entitle the plaintiffs to a Telt iet. The Learned SECONDARY said some evidence of tree consideration between the plaintiff and Marshall must h' given, although it was not necessary to prove the ori ginal consideration between defendant and Moore. A cheque was different from a bill of exchange, as it made payable to so and so, or " bearer," and the bearer was the mere agent; but a bill was made to or " order," and i mme di a t e ly it was i n d orse d it became ne gotiable and could be recover( d upon, unless defendant showed a want of consideration, or some other legal defect. Mr. Marshall was then sent for, and on arriving proved that he had paid it to plaintiffs for meat, and had re ceived the difference in cabh. The Learned SECONDARY considered this was suf• ficient, and the jury gave a verdict for the amoun claimed. BO W-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) THE CASE OF THEIGGEE.—Richard Wallis, an asso ciate of Biss and Kelly who were yesterday remanded upon the charge of attempting to strangle and of robbing Mr. Day, in Mercer-career, on Sunday night last, was now brought before Mr. Henry charred with aiding and abetting the others in the outrage. It appeared that Mr. Richard Long, of Mercer-street, Loug-acre, coach harness mancfacturer, witnessed the greater part of the murderous attack from the window of his bedroom, and gave Sergeant Thompson a desciption of two persons who were in company with Bias and Kelly at the time, and stood by whilst they assailed Mr. Day. Upon that descrip tion the prisoner was traced and taken into custody. Mr. Long stated that one of the persons who were in company with Biss and Kelly, standing by during the assault and running away when they ran away, was of the same stature and general appearance as the prisoner Wallis, and to the best of his belief was that person, but he could not swear positively to his identity. It was not known whether Mr. Day had seen enough of any of the parties to be able to identify them, and the prisoner was remanded to be brought up again with the others when that gentleman is able to attend. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) AN " INDISCREET GENTLEXAN."—Cardiqe Miller, a well-dressed:young woman, was placed heron Mr. Hardwick, charged with having stolen a gold watch and chain, the property of Thomas Ellis, a cJuntry gentle man, residing at the Horse and Groom, Winsley-street, Oxford-street. It appeared that the complainant on the previous evening was proceeding along Oxford-street, when he was accosted by the defendant, with whom he conversed some little time, and afterwards, at her solicitation, ac companied her to her apartments in Howland -street, where he remained all night. Previous to retiring to rest he gave the prisoner 3s. 2d. for his lodging, and then placed his watch on the dressing-table in the room. This morning, when he got up, he misscd his watch, and asked the prisoner where it was. She replied she bed got it, hat refused to give it up until he paid her 104, which she alleged he had promised for the "accommo dation." Ho then went and fetched a constable anJ gave her into custody. Police-constable 28 E said on receiving charge of the prisoner she handed him the watch produced, and said the prosecutor had left it in her hands as a guars tr.ce for the payment of 10s. for sleeping with her alt night The complainant denied having promised the wciaisu ten shillings. Elizabeth Jones proved that she was present at the time, and heard the complainant agree to leave his wa,ch as security for the 10s. Mr. HARDwicK severely lectured the complainant, and told him it was very discreditable to him to bring such a case into court, and directed him to pay the de fendant 10s., and if he did not she must keep the watch till the complainant redeemed it, ROBBERY AT THE EXHIBITION.—CAUTION TO Ex HIBITORS' ATTENDANTS. - George _Miaow, RII attenduLt in the employ of one of the exhibitors, was charged with, stealing from the " British Colonies" department in the Exhibition, one biscuit, the property of the Executive Committee. Police-constable 203 B said, about half-past six o'clock last evening he was on duty in the " British Colonies" department, when he saw the defendant go up to a basket of biscuits which were covered over and lift it up. He then put it back, and on witness going up and look ing in it he missed one of the biscuits. There were eight in the basket just before the prisoner lifted it up, and when ho left there were only seven. Witness went after the prisoner and caught him in the aot of eating it. He then took him in custody, The prisoner, in defence, said he thought the biscuits from lacing broken, were placed there for the public to taste, in order to judge of the quality. He was not wrong, and if h e h a d h e was very sorry Mr. HARDWIIIC said, if e very person w h o v i s i ted the awa aware h for e i had done Exhibition took a biscuit, there would be none left to exhibit. As a warning to other assistants in the Exhi bition, he (Mr. Hardwick) should fine him 10s., or commit him for seven days. The money was immediately paid. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE -WEDNESDAY Notwithstanding that the supply of English Wheat on sale in to-day's market was very moderate, the demand for most descriptions—owing to the small number of millers in attendance—was in a very inactive state, at Monday's quotations. The accounts at hand, this morn ing, respecting the general appearance of the growing crops, are favourable. From abroad, 8,100 quarters of Wheat have come in this week, chiefly from the Baltic. Fine dry parcels sold at fall rates of currency; but all low and middling samples were a dull inquiry. No English Barley was on show; but the supply of Foreign —5,920 quarters—was seasonably large. The trade was in a very sluggish state, at barely last week' s pri ces . I n Malt, very little was doing, at late figures. A very large importation of Foreign Oats—upwards of 38,000 quarters—having taken place, the Oat trade ruled heavy, at a decline of 6d per quarter. Beans, Peas, and In dian Corn very dull; but Flour moved off steadily, at full prices. ARRIVALS THIS , WEEK. Wheat. Qrs. Qr B . English ...... 1,320 Irish— Foreign •..... 8,100 i,920 Barley. I Malt.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday was 10,000 bales, of which 1.500 American were taken for export, and 2,000 on speculation. The market was active, and the advance of Monday was well maintained.—ln Rail way Shares a fair business was done, at previous rates. The steamer Baltic, arrived from the United States, furnishes commercial accounts to the 19th instant, and the report of the dry-goods market at New York is of great interest to European shippers at this time of year, as it precedes the " fall " season. A statement before us mentions that "the trade, though not active as respects actual demand, is active in preparations for one close at hand, and which is expected to be large. Stocks of goods are large. All foreign goods and do• mestic woollens are firmer, but cotton fabrics are still heavy. The receipts for the past few weeks from the mills are far greater than the sales ; and as the raw ma terial still tends, and is actually working steadily, downwards, dealers have no confidence in prices. Bleached shirtings and sheetings have been selling mo derately, but the large supply keeps prices heavy. In unbleached goods there is not so much pressure to sell, and prices are rather more steady, but there is no active demand at current rates. Drills are dull, and without change. Osnaburghs are in moderate demand, but prices are not buoyant. Denims are more active, and steadier in price. Strips are very quiet and heavy. Ticks are dull. Cotton flannels are inactive. Printing cloths have been selling more extensively, but prices do not improve, as holders are anxious to reduce their present stocks, being able to replace them at a better ad vantage. In prints an active business is springing up. The new styles are in market in great variety and no velty of design, and induce early purchases. Ginghams are quiet, but a movement is near at hand, t h e inquiry being considerable. Delainos for the fall season are in ample supply and variety, and the demand will soon be active. Cloths are active, especially in medium and low qualities of goods. Prices are more steady. The market favours sellers. Cassimers of new fancy of all styles are becoming active. The assort ment is large. Prices are firm for all kinds. Satinets are in good request, and prices show some symptoms of coming improvement. Tweeds continue inactive. Jeans are in fair request, but are easy in price. Linseys are steady in demand, but at irregular prices; some holders are asking, but in vain, for an advance. Sheep greys are in increasing demand, but the stock is light except of the lower qualities. Flannels are in good de mand, as are also blankets, and at good prices. French goods are in good supply. The Franklin has brought a large supply. All the steamers brieg full cargoes, bat the packet ships hate very light freight. Silk fancy vestiags, black silks, velvets, and lace are all in better demand. British goods are in good stock, but more from an apt and varied assortment than actual quantity. Prints of desirable styles are selling readily. Fancy vestings, Scotch plaids, and broad cloths are in increasing request. Prices are very steady, and from the few goods arriving or expected, prices will, it is said, rule very firmly." This, upon the whole, may be considered as offering a tolerably satisfactory prospect. From the Ist to the Bth of July, inclusive, 130 ves sels passed the Welland Canal, of which 66 passed up, and 64 down. Of those bound down, 37 were to Os wego. 13 to Kingston, 7 to Ogdensburg, 2 to Montreal, Ito Quebec, 3to Toronto, and Ito Niagara. The car goes bound to Ogdensburg were composed mostly of flour, wheat, and corn, and those to Montreal and Quebec of the same. From Mexico it is stated that a conductor was to leave the city of Mexico on the 22d ult,, for Vera Cruz, with a large amount of specie. Jamaica papers to the 11th July sta e that the cholera continued very bad in Sur la-Mer, parish of Westmore land. Several vessels were loading to sail on the Ist of August, for England, and amongst them many foreign ones. From Havannab, under date of July 8, we learn that business was very good. In the Amsterdam market, on the 28th inst., Dutch Stock was less in favour, the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. being 58 11-16. The Bankers' Magazine for August states in reference to the Customs management:— " Before the issue of our next number, the report of the Committee of the House of Commons, appointed to inquire into the present constitution and malpractices of the Board of Customs will probably have been pub lished; and we, therefore, reserve our remarks on this very unpleasant subject until the report and evidence is before us. The evidence already published shows as clearly as possible that the existing system cannot be continued; and we shall be glad if the exposure which has already taken place, induces the Board to reform its constitution, so as to avoid the scandal which must fellow any legislative enactment on the subject. The present Chancellor of the Exchequer is not considers d, in commercial circles, a person likely to undertake any reform of a comprehensive character; and all the leading Custom-house authorities being appa rently family connexions of the Ministry, and subordi nate hangers-on of Government, the Ministers are not likely to take any measures which will interfere with the easy situations and idly-earned emoluments of their im mediate connexions. In the meantime, however, it is expected that a check will be put upon the proceedings of the attorney for the Customs; and that he will not be permitted to repeat the shameful proceedings lately adopted against the London Dock Company, which re sulted in the defeat of the Customs' authorities in the Court of Exchequer." The English Stocks continue rather heavy on account of the rumour of an Austrian loan, the advices from Paris and Vienna stating more positively that the con tract has been taken. The amount is given at 8,000,0001., and it is said that the Stock will be a Five per Cent., issued at 93. We should imagine this to be much too high to offer a temptation here, and no doubt the bulk will be eased off in Germany and France. Consols have been quoted 964 T for Transfer and Time. Exchequer bills have been 475. to 505,, and India Bonds 575. to 595. premium. Bank Stock is firm at 2154 t o 2161. Consols now are 964 3. The "carrying over" of accounts is the chief business in the Foreign market. Mexican Bonds have been 30i 3, Peruvian Five per Cents. 891, and Brazilian Old 92. Sardinian Scrip has been at par to premium. Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked 21i to Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. are 59i The settlement in Shares is going off favourably, and an advance has occurred in Midland, North-Western, East Lancashire, Caledonian, South-Eastern, and York and Berwick.

The screams of the fellowwith considerable soonbrought his companions to his assist ance, difficulty he was extricated in a a o n r d most shocking condition, being scalded over his body, arms legs, and thighs, to a very fearful extent. He was seen by a surgeon in the neighbourhood, who immediately ordered his removal to the accident ward of Guy's Hospital, where he was placed un er the care of Mr. Rhys, the house sur geon, who rendered every possible aid for the alleviation of the sufferings of the wounded man, who last evening was in a precarious state from the complicated injuries he had re ceived. SUICIDE.—A cool and deliberate act of suicide was committed by a man whose name was not mentioned, on the South Wales Railway, on the 23d inst. He waited some time at Llantrissant, and on the near approach of the early mail train, laid himself down on the rails, and allowed the train to pass over his body, which was instantly severed.

It may Well be questioned, if the professors of the common law had some ten years ago introduced a certain amount of substantial reform into their methods of pro cedure, whether they might not still have retained the business of the country. We were perfectly willing to have received changes at their hands, and pretty much in their own way, so they bad given but a freer course to the administration of justice. No layman willingly takes upon himself the character of a law reformer. The doc trines with which he is called upon to deal, the circle of ideas into which ho must transport himself, are so alien from his ordinary habits of thought, that he reluctantly mudertakes and gladly relinquishes the repulsive task. Nothing but the direct necessity, nothing but the con tinued spectacle of cumulative injustice, could induce any other than a professional man to broach or carry through inquiries of such a nature. It was not until the three superior courts at Westminster had clearly shown that even justice might bo purchased at too h . gle a rate, and not until they had manifested a de termination to persist in the most dilatory modes of procedure, that the people of this country took the matter into their own hands. The returns of the number of causes, and of the amount of property annually adjudicated upon before the newly constituted tribunals, afford the most satisfactory comment upon the admoni tions of those reverend sages of the law who bade us I beware how we laid the axe to the root of the tree. We have before us the warning, the inroad, and the result. That result is well calculated to inspire us with confidence for the future, if the remedies introduced are of a sufficiently definite character to meet the wrongs complained of iu their entire extent. It is not, however, just now our object to write an epitaph upon the buried hopes of those learned gentle men who had pinned their fortunes to the immortality of the common law system of procedure, but rather to bid their brethren of the equity side take warn ing by the result of their pertinacity. The amount of misery inflicted upon the country by the chicane of the common lawyers under the new rules has been of slight account by the side of the almost total negation of justice consequent upon the forms of proce dure in Chancery. In the class of cases submitted to the decision of the common law courts there were ways and means by which prudent men, nut inclined to push matters to extremes, might stave off the calamity of a protracted lawsuit. But in the great bulk of Chan cery cases this is not so. Into court the reluctant suitors must go, and there they must remain until the most astute and practised brains in England have ex hausted upon the property at issue all the resources of a perverse ingenuity. The equity lawyers reply that wellnigh all this delay, and weilnigh all this expense, must be accepted as inseparable from litigation. They may introduce, to be sure, a few changes of no great mo ment, but substantially not much can be done. A negation of justice is the inseparable incident of property in dispute. This appears a very fatal argument as far as their own interests are concerned. It has been already heard, sad heard again, from one side of Westminster-hall, and for a certain time it prevailed to stop all improvements. The time, however, has at last arrived when those who made use of it have been roused from their dream of security to find that they had made a miserable mistake as to the extent of human credulity. The best answer that can be given to the gentlemen of the Chancery bar who thus endeavour to maintain the credit of their system is to point to its results. Is it absolutely necessary that their forms of proce dure should be so tedious that a Chancery suit remains iu a family like an heirloom, genera tion atter generation? Tho other day, a case was brought before the Masters of the Rolls in which judg ment was prayed upon a bill which had been originally filed in the year 1748, more than a century ago. We have to turn back throu g h two or three volumes of Lord Campbell's " Lives of the Chancellors," before we meet with the name of the judge who made the ori gival decree in the cause. It appears that there was a Mr. Pope, who died in Madeira in the year 1743. Five years afterwards—in 1748—a bill was filed for an account of the dealings between this Mr. Pope and a certain Mr. Jasper. In 1753 Lord Hard wicke made u decree in the cause, and directed that ac counts should be taken. In 1764 there was a report to the effect that something more than 9,500/. was duo from the representatives of Jasper to the estate of Pope. Mark the course of the transaction. In 1772—that is, about a quarter of a century after the filing of the original bill—certain moneys were paid into court, and a certain amount of stock was transferred. Teen) it has remained ever since—how or why we are perfectly unable to say, for the application to the Master of the Rolls the other day was an ex parte one from Jasper's repre sentatives. The suit, so it was stated, had been revived in due form, and as the Master of the Rolls exercised a very proper caution in not dealing, upon a mere one sided statement, with so large a sum as 10,000 L, it bids fair to flourish for another century. The ease is now re mitted to the office of one of the Masters in Chancery. and so it may be considered in a promising way fur dire patch. In a case of this kind, and when the report is so meagre, we cannot of course undertake to say that the neglect of the litigants since 1772 may not have been in some measure the cause of the delay; but with our previous knowledge of Chancery procedure there is little necessity for any explanation of this kind. It seems strange than when Pope's representatives had obtained a report in their favour in 1764, and money had been paid into court in 1772, they should nut have taken steps to ap propriate the property had it not been guarded by the Chancery ;Dragons with all their usual care. There is, however, nothing extraordinary in the case that we should lay much stress upon it. Nothing would be more simple than to produce a series of similar illus trations of the procedure in the Court of Chancery. Here, then, is a specimen of the system in its results. We cannot, with such an instance before us, but doubt the statement of those gentlemen connected with the Chancery bar who inform us that very little is to be dune us the way of amendment. To be sure we have an occasional order from the Chancellor which effects a fear formal changes in the practice of his court, but so slight au alleviation of the evil acarcoly deserves the name of even an attempt at reform. It would almost appear as though the time had are rived when we may entertain some well-sounded hope of definite improvement. The final settlement of the great principles on which the commercial policy of this coun try is henceforth to be conducted has left the minds of men free for inquiries of another nature. Ques tions of law reform during the last two sessions et Parliament have been approached by Members and by the public out of doors in a very different spirit from heretofore. It is no longer possible for a law officer of the Crown, or an eminent lawyer in either House, to poohpooh or browbeat his fellow-senators into silence. We meet every day with cases in which lay members wrangle throughout the duration of a Committee upon points of detail with an Attorney-General, and will not be put down. More than this—the recalcitrant members are cheered on by the great body of the public, who have at last become aware that law need nut of neces sity consist of a mass of confused technicalities- All of us who have had any practice of business are perfectly aware that an inquiry into the owner ship of property of aay kind, in any part of the world, or held upon any form of tenure, can be carried through without a century's delay, and without a very serious deduction from the value of the estate. There must be something radically wrong in system which throws so much power into the hands Of those who would delay or defeat justice. The very torus of the bill, the method of taking evidence, the , puerile pretexts under which a suit is shelved to bet again commenced, and commenced to be again shelved,. the technical necessity for making Shem and Japhet par ties to an inquiry i n which merely the interests of t he Ramsbottom s are at stake, the dilatory proceedings i n the Master s '- o ffi ces, and twenty principal defects besides , could be readil y enumerated wh i c h must all be amended before we can look for any real administration of justice from the Court of Chancery. Let the e quity bar look to it i n t i me. T he gen tlemen e ngage d i n t hat d epartment of the profession have all the advantage of a practical war n i ng before their eyes. Let them be very sure that if the procedure of their court be not entirely remodelled their own personal interests may be very seriously affected by the delay.—Times.
