fri•:.; had the system ever worked prejudicially for any class. IL. Noble and Learned Lord, after replying to one or two er objections against the Bill, concluded by observing that e was no difficulty about the question before their Lord- There was no mystery about it, for any . Noble Lord VI, 0 chose to give his mind to the subject was just as colle t: of forming an opinion regarding it as those who had kiltherto devoted the greatest time and attention to the mitter.—(Hear, hear.) He then moved the second reading of the Bill. Lord BROUGHAM said his Noble and Learned Friend was entitled to the thanks of the public for the pains he had Taken during so many years to Wain for this country the ;eestimable benefit of a general registration. There could be no doubt of the value of the principle of a general registration of property ; but much, as his Noble and Learned Friend must be aware, depended upon the details of the measure, and a person might conscientiously approve of the general principle, and yet argue that the proposed plan ,vould not work. Indeed, everything depended upon the I . ..tails. He had no doubt his Noble and Learned Friend would have no objection to afford ample time for the full •nsideration of his plan ; and there was one very obvious aJdition which it struck him might be made. There was re doubt that a registry-house, under a proper system, and under the management of proper persons, would be most valuable, and it might be made the depository for safe cus tody of other instruments besides those immediately con nected with land. It would be very desirable that wills should be so deposited even during the lifetime of the party making them. He knew one case in which the will cf a party was not discovered for many, many weeks after his death, and it was generally supposed the party had died intestate. Ultimately the will was found in an old chest in an out house. There was another case in w hich the party, having made his will, placed it under his p illow. It fell down be hind the bed, and the housekeeper p icked it up, and sup posing the paper to be of no importance, thrust it into the grate. Now, let their Lordships observe on how slight an accident its preservation depended. Had it been winter the will would have been inevitably consumed; but it was sum mer, and after a search was made the will was found stuck between the bars of the grate. It was brought before him self and the other law L ords, and proved ; •and but for that the property, which amounted to a sum of not less than 160,0001., would have been disposed of in a totally different Way to that which the testator wished. He hoped the pre sent was only the first step in the improvement of the law relating to real property, and that it would be carried for ward vigorously and determinedly, but, at the same time, prudently, an would hat means confer a real benefit upon the country.. He impress upon all improvers the necessity of steering. clear of two extremes—those who desired to see no change in the law, and those whom no change or im piovement would satisfy. , , , tord BEAUMONT, as feeling a deep interest in the question, and as being the only member of the Committee which investigated the subject present, asked permission of their Lordships to address a few observations to the House. He was surprised that the system of registration had not been adopted at an earlier period. True, there had been a system of registration in operation in other countries for a very long period; but it was not suited to a country like this. The law of real property was in England so different, so complicated, and so extensive, that the system in opera tion in other countries could not be applied to it; but the more complicated and difficult the law with regard to real property was, the more important it was that a judicous system of registration should be adopted. One of its advantages would , be, that it would insure per fect security to those who purchased ot lent money upon landed property. It should be remembered that the trust-deeds appertaining to property were fre quently secured in different parts of the country, and an immense time was occasionally lost in collecting and then iavestigating many deeds, which afterwards turned out not be essential ; the expense and delay thus entailed were very great, and many persons were thereby deterred from 'ealing with land who otherwise might be induced to do so. eeailways had now proyided rapid means of communication with the capital, which would facilitate the means of enter • ing caveats. It had been stated that the effect of the pro posed system would be to deprive country practitioners of a great portion of the business connected with the sale of property, but his communications with those who were con versant with the subject had convinced him that the con trary would be the result. Every person acquainted with the mode of transferring property in Yorkshire must be aware of the inconvenience of depending upon a memorial instead of having access to the terms of the instrument itself. A memorial in the first place require I great skill in its preparation, and was very often so drawn as to conceal the purport of the deed. All that could be learned from it, therefore, was, that a certain deed was in existence, and beyond this you were no wiser than before. Nor was it possible to ascertain where the deed itself was deposited from the memorial, which moreover in no way dispensed with the necessity of an attested copy, while under the provisions of the Bill attested epies would be dispensed with. Another great advantage resulting from it would be the shortening conveyances by ▪ Iferences to the register. Nothing could be more absurd teen the objection to the measure on the ground of the eublicity which it would give to transactio ns with p ro p ert y . Even if - the allegation were true, he could not see the dis advantages which would ,result from it; but he denied that any greater publicity would necessarily ensue than existed under the present system. There was another point of great importance to which he was surprised his Noble and Learned Friend had not alluded, and that was the cancellation of in struments. It was most desirable that when the objects for which deeds were drawn were satisfied, so that the deeds were no longer of any use, the instruments themselves should be cancelled, so as not to encumber and embarrass future transactions. He contemplated great advantages fr om the institution of the deposit department, which would —till further tend to render unnecessary covenants to produce. Another point on whiCh his Noble and Learned Friend had not dwelt, was the system of caveats, which would have , the ' effect of dispelising with contracts for sale, afford all the, ad -. ventages 'of equitable mortgages, and do away with ale th e difficulties now created by the doctrine of notice. Of cotirsa thane 'must be 'some limit to the caveat in point of time. Another suggestion made by the Commissioners, in order to prevent the register from being overloaded. was that unre 14iStered deeds might be binding between the parties, but still not valid against a purchaser. The great object ought to be to give perfect security to the purchaser, and, this point being attained, parties might choose whether they would register or not. Another most important point, and to of great difficulty, was as to the effect of wills as against registered deeds; but he believed the Commissioners bad got over the difficulty by proposing that if a will •ahould be kept back, and not registered within two years, a conveyance from the heir- at-law should stand good and the purchaser be rendered secure. A testator might al-n deposit his will during his lifetime, which would get rid of the difficulty. All, however, would depend upon the index, for without a good index the register would become nuisance and a source of danger. The Commissioners had come to the conclusion that Mr. Duval's system was not lettisfactory, and were of opinion that a map index wculd alone afford adequate security. The plan proposed would increase the value of land, which had been greatly depre ca.ted by the present system. Nothing could be more in correct than the idea that registration would be beneficial only to the owners of large estates; on the contrary, its ad vantages would be chiefly felt by the smaller proprietors, who, under the existing state of things, frequently found it impossible to sell their property. So strong was the feeling nn the subject, that within the last year or two strong repre sentations had been made to him by copyholders in manors e - here the fines were actually heavy, urging him by no means vote for any Bill for the enfranchisement of copyholds, 'elms a system of registration were adopted. There were rci my other points to which he should have been de eirous of addressing himself if time had permitted, 'et he could not sit down without calling their Lordships' attention to one circumstance of great importance —namely, the erect of the bankrupt laws on the system of -egistration. It was a question with the Commissioners, '.nether an adjudication in bankruptcy caused by an act which preceded the dealing with the land, should affect a urchaser. That, no doubt, was a difficult question, but still riae which, in his opinion, was completely met by the Bill. The purchaser who bona fide thought he was buying a good property, and had paid for it, ought to hold it against all the world, and ought not to be affected by any subsequent adju dication in bankrupty. Therefore, let creditors have the rower by means of a caveat of entering a kind of notice with regard to their interests. At present it was well known that ereat hesitation was always felt in buying estates from per sons engaged in trade, who were thus made the victims of palpable injustice. The great object was to protect the bnna fide purchaser, and on this ground he would support the Bill. Lord CRANWORTH would not detain their Lordships by my lengthened observations, after the full discussion which the subject had already undergone. It might not, however, he altogether useless to point out, in a word, to such of their ordships who were not of the legal profession, that for the future, if the system of registration should become law, the eroposition to be established on any sale or mortgage would bepositive and not negative. Now, any person selling or mortgaging land had to prove what, in truth, was an impos sibility, the negative—namely, that there were no deeds 'affecting the title ; but when every deed was upon the re gistry the obligation would lie on the other side to show that such deeds were in existence. That was a very simple mode of putting the case, and one which all their Lordships who were owners . of land should bear in mind. Lord CAMPBELL expressed himself highly pleased at the very pithy description of the effect of the Bill laid down by his Noble and Learned Friend. As the principle of the Bill had leen assented to, all that remained to be considered were the -details. These were still sub judice, and open to consideration on all sides. After the few remarks made by bit Noble and Learned Friend, he ehould feel that he w uld ba best discharging his duty by proposing that the Bill be referred to a Select Committee. • The Bill was then read a second time, and afterwards re ferred to a Select Committee.

' - IQ`' T fit= 1111: LONDON, TUESDAY, MARCH 18, 1851 In the House of Lords, last night, The Passengers' Act Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. Lord CAMPBELL moved the second reading of the Registration of Assitrances Bill, the object of which was to establish a general system of registration of titles to real property, in accordance with the recommendation of the Commissioners. Lord BROUGHAM, Lord BEAUMONT, and Lord CRAN WORTH having expressed their approval of the principle of the Bill, it was read a second time, and ordered to be referred to a Select Committee. In the Commons, Mr. H. BAILLIE stated, in answer to Lord J. Russitu, that it was his intention to withdraw for the present the notice of motion on the affairs of Ceylon, which he had given for the 25th inst. Lord J. RUSSELL complained of the unfairness of the proceeding, and was replied to by Mr. DISRANLI, whom Sir G. GREY taunted with not daring to proceed with the i charges that had been made in relation to this C e y lon t affair. Mr. ROEBUCK considered that all parties were to blame, but that Mr. DISRAELI'S share of blame was double that of the Government. Alter a few words from Sir B. HALL, the subject dropped. Mr. Moots a resumed the adjourned debato on the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, which he opposed as subversive of religious liberty, Mr. WIGRAN considered the canon law as at variance c erea ii acj akz a i nd with liberty of con with the QUEEN'S sc ience, and as Dr. w em Suprem acy the Ro bed admitted that the introduceobject of thebe creation cano n la w o , he sh ou ld f mith hierarchy was to vote in favour of the Bill, Mr. 't o ols opposed the Bill. Mr. H. D. SEYMOUR would Oppos e this .. measure a, """.4v~*. "°~q~.~. THE. SUN, LONDON, , TUESDAY EVENING, MARCH lB, 1851. inefficient, but would support a Bill for establishing a supervision over monastic establishments. Mr. GOULBURN considered the rescript of the PorE a violation of the compact of 1829, and at variance with the spirit of the Emancipation Act. He would support the Bill, although ho thought it inadequate to meet the case. Sir H. W. BARRON said the Bill would create continual disturbance in Ireland. Mr. CALVERT considered the measure as one purely of we assume the total value of real estate in this country to be 2,500,000,0001. sterling, and we believe the estimate to be by no means exaggerated, we shall find that the improvement in the market value will be no less than 250,000,0001. sterling; nearly one third of our national debt, or worth something more than the produce of the income-tax and malt-tax—supposing that these imposts were perpetuated. Here, then, is a boon of no ordinary magnitude, far better for the land owners than the revival of Protection. The practical monopoly accorded by a bread-tax would not be equivalent to the removal of the legal nets and cobwebs by which the titles to their estates have been surrounded. And yet this important measure is passing almost sub silentio, attracting but little attention, and regarded as of trivial importance. We would, how ever, invite public attention to the admirable sketch which the Noble and Learned Lord gave of the law of real property from the most ancient times, which proved that our ancestors required the most perfect putlicity in all matters connected with the conveyance or transfer of land, and that we are only returning to ancient principles in insisting on a full registration of all deeds in any way relating thereto. We shall not at present enter into the details of the project. The matter has most properly been re ferred to a Select Committee, where it will be fully dismissed and maturely considered In all its branches, and from whence it will, we trust, emerge in a more perfect form—in a form worthy of the im mense nations' importance of the subject. THE S RKETS. self-defence. Mr. CHA.RTERIS said there was no danger from Ro man Catholic ambition, nor any doubt of Roman Ca tholic loyalty, and therefore he considered the Bill un called for. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL, in a most eloquent and ar gumentative speech, proved that in no country in Europe had the POPE a right to create dioceses without the consent of the State; that the new prelates were by the canon law endowed with extensive temporal authority, and with a civil status, and, as an illustration of the encroaching ambition of Rome, he adduced the abnormal appointment of Dr. CULLEN, followed as it was by the Synod of Thurles. After alluding to the Roma nist tendencies exhibited by several admirers of the " picturesque" in religion in the Church of England, he concluded by declaring his intention of supporting the measure as the mildest possible enactment that could be devised for preventing Papal encroachment. Mr. CARDWELL denied that the proposed Bill would either prevent synods or the introduction of the canon law; it was just large enough to irritate, and not large enough to satisfy, and therefore he should oppose it. On the motion of Mr. ANSTEY, the debate was ad journed. The House rose at Half-past Twelve. The debate on the Ecclesiastical Titles Assuinption Bill drags its slow length along. Three nights have already been consumed on the question of the econd reading, in addition to the five previously wa sted on the almost. formal question of obtaining liblrty to introduce the measure, and yet no one can venture to say when the discussion will come to a conclusion. To use a " fancy" phrase, the combatantsi seem "fresher than when they came to the scratch." Their bloods are thoroughly up, and they mean mischief and no mistake." Will; this week see the division ? We can scarcel' con ceive how the unfortunate SPEAKER could b4r the infliction for a longer period. The fervid, impas sioned eloquence of the Hibernian Membersl must begin to " pall his weary ears ;" any change whatsoever would be a relief to that much bored man. We can almost conceive his attending sk "an amateur " on the estimates, or appearing hit the House as a private Member, when rel ieved from his official duties by the Chairman of Committees, ra ther than submitting to another evening's, de bate on the Papal pretensions. It is, '‘ ever, manifest that Ministers look foi to an almost interminable discussion. In anss a question by Mr. DISRAELI, as to when the B would be brought forward, Sir CHARLES 1 said, " Not on Friday. It is impossible to say long this debate will take. It (i. e., the Bu will come on the first night after this debate." have it thus on official authority that the pry Budget will not come on on Friday, and that it come on the first night after the debate. Erg®, the debate will not terminate before Friday. We must, however, recollect that the respondent was our excel lent Minister of Finance, and we must make some allowance for the natural anxiety that must be felt by that unfortunate person to postpone the evil day when his " crotchets" will be gibbeted before the popular branch of the Legislature. We have heard of criminals on their way to execution who could rejoice at the temporary respite afforded by a stop page of the thoroughfares, although they knew that their miserable existence would only be prolonged for a few brief moments thereby ; and as,`. owing to the withdrawal of Mr. BAILLIE'S motion, the " Pxa- CIOUS BUDGET" must again be brought forward, its unfortunate author eagerly clutches at an additional day's delay, at any expense of time to the country. How can we Wonder at the loud and gene ral complaints of legiaative supineness, and the vexa tious delays that must take place before acknow ledged abuses and grievances can be remedied, when the public time is so wantonly and recklessly thrown away in the most valuable part of the Console. Ditto Account Icious session ? Few of the " great guns" have as yet come for ward during the debate. We have had, however, three new aspirants for senatorial honours who made their voices heard for the first time within " the QUEEN'S Palace at Westminster." We have already spoken of the sensation created by the maiden oration of Sir ROBERT PEEL, who eminently merited the congratulations he received, and gave ample promise that he would one day acquire a Par liamentary reputation worthy of the heir and repre sentative of his distinguished and lamented sire, Mr. H. KER SEYMER, the second postulant, spoke briefly, but to the purpose, although we do not suppose that the sentiments to which he gave utter ance will prove very acceptable to his constituency. Mr. CALVERT, the new Member for Aylesbury, made a very creditable " first appearance" on the Parlia mentary stage, during which he chiefly applied him self to answering the arguments of his old opponent of the Court of Chancery, Mr. ROUNDELL PALMER. The speech of last night was, however, that of the SOLICITOR-GENERAL,WhO took a sound, practical, common-sense view of the subject, and did much to relieve the diluted measure of the odium that has been cast upon it. The Right Hon. Gentleman clearly exposed the fallacies that bad been put forward by the advocates for non-legislation on the subject, who assert that it was a merely spiritual authority that was exercised by the Sovereign PONTIFF. If that ar gument were once sanctioned—if it were admitted that " means which were illegal and unconstitutional,which involved a violation of our municipal and constitutional laws, a violation of the public law of Europe, an invasion of the sovereignty of the State, an outrage on the national independence, should be tolerated, because some persons might please to as sert that these illegal and unconstitutional acts were necessary to the due development of their religious opinions, there would be no limit or boundary beyond which it might not be carried." The Thug might justify his amiable weakness by assert ing it was only the conscientious performance of his religious duties. It is not in this manner, however, that we understand the glorious principle of universal toleration. Each man should be at liberty to exercise his own judgment so far as he himself is personally concerned, but he should not be allowed to insult his fellow-subjects, or to do anything forbidden by the statute or common law of the land. This liberty is best expressed by the legal maxim—Sic utere au°, ad alienum non Was. We give the most extensive privileges to our Roman Catholic brethren, so long as they do not encroach upon the sacred and inalienable right which we claim for ourselves as Protestant subjects of this Protestant State. We rejoice to find that the Loan CRIER' JUSTICE of ENGLAND has taken charge of the Registration of Assurances Bill, and that it will be carried through the House of Peers under his auspices. We have long since pointed out the vast importance of such a measure, and the great relief that would be thereby afforded to the landed interest, not merely to the owners of real. property, but to all persons in any degree interested therein as occupiers or encum brancers. It is almost unnecessary to recapitulate the frauds and losses to which purchasers, mortgagees, and others are exposed under the existing system, and from which no amount of precaution can effectually protect them. The delays and expenses necessarily encountered in every dealing with land, whether a permanent transfer or a temporary change, are un fortunately but too well known, and we have no hesitation in saying that they materially de preciate the value of land throughout the country. If the territorial aristocracy knew the price that they are paying far these ab surd, would we could say " obsolete" remnants of the feudal law—and the regarding "land" as something so sacred that the title thereto is not to be touched by profane hands—they would s p eedil y k now the price that they r htatif for their whistle."

The letters by the steamer Baltic, from the United States, have been delivered this morning, but add very little to our previous news, A very important case came up before the Supreme Court of Illinois, at Springfield, early in January last. It excited considerable interest. An agreed case was filed, and it was moved that a peremptory mandamus be issued to compel' the auditor of public accounts to draw a warrant upon the Treasury. for the proceeds of the two mill tax levied and collected under the provisions of the new Constitution, to be applied on certain State bonds, presente 1 for payment the first clay of January, 1851. The motion was resisted on the following grounds 1. That the Governor of the State was the person charged by law with the appropriation and disbursement of the two mill tax. " 2. That the State had a right to retain a pro rata share of the tax, and apply it upon the deposit made by the United States with the State, under the Act of Congress for the dis tribution of the surplus revenue, us that deposit was a debt due by the State. "3. That certain interest bonds had been presented to the Governor, and that the holders of these bonds had a right to share, pro rata, with other bondholders. " 4. That all bondholders had a right to share in the dis tribution of the fund in controversy, notwithstanding they failed to present the bonds for payment on the first day of January, 1851, the d.y fixed by law for their presentation. " Written arguments were filed for the relators, and for respondents. " The Court announced their decision, awarding a pe - remptoiy writ of mandamus according to the motion. By this decision four important questions are determined, viz.:— '° 1. That the auditor is entitled to the appropriation and disbursement of the two mill tax. " 2. That the surplusrevenus deposit is net a debt against the State. " 3. That this fund is to be paid on the principal of the State debt, and is to be applied in discharge of the interest. "4. That tho'e creditors who failed to present their bony s on the Ist of January are not entitled to share in the di,tri bution of the fund. "Under this decision, 165,699 02 dolls. in specie was paid towards the eltinguishment of the State debt of Illinois. "The probability is that a large amount of the Internal Improvement Bonds of the State will be presented for pay ment curing the present year, each of which will be entitled to.a pro rata share of the amount of the two milltax . collected during the year 1851."

It states that after twenty years of cordiality between the Government and the company, their premises were suddenly subjected to a search, "more like a search by police-c fficers for slolen goods than a visit for examination by officers of the Customs ;" that considerable quantities of goods have been seized, a large proportion of which are actually not liable to duty of any kind ; that fifty-three separate information have been filed, comprising a multi plicity of articles, eime c f which are of the value of Id. each; and that newly a year was suffered to elapse before any attempt was nude to obtain a decision, when, although notice of trial in ten of the is formations was given to the company for the slangs last month, not one of then came on. It is also afflrntd that same overdrawings of molasses, which had been muted amongst the seizures, baying been inadvertently returnid to the casks, the Customs preferred an indictment for felt) , against ten of the company's ser vants, upon which four of them were conveyed to Newgate, and that when noticeof trial was at length given, the record was suddenly withdrawn. In conclusion, the petition states that some of the company's servants discharged for miscon duct have been taket into the pay of the Customs; that there is just reason tesuppose that others have been induced by the offer of bribes o give false information, and that some of the goods seized Mere purposely planted by these persons in the places where tley were found. Looking at the de moralization and insu)ordination consequent upon these pro ceedings, together wits the expense to the country and the company, and the gmral injury to commerce, the company charge the Board of Ctstoms with a flagrant abuse of their powers, and pray tht Legislature to provide a remedy.— Times. ABOLITION OF Tat!

After a lelgthened speech from the chairman,' Mr. Torrens M'Cullagh moved the first resolution, " That the excise duty on paper impedes the progress and extension of the manufacture, and by.paralysing enterprise operates most injuriously on theinterests of trade and the employment of the people." Mr. IN a gan, M.P., seconded the motion, which was carried unanimously. Captain Greene, M.P., moved, and Sir Timothy O'Brien seconded, the next resolu tion, recommending be appointment of a deputation to wait upon the Chancelor of the Exchequer, and also upon Lord John Russell. Ti e resolution, after some discussion, was then carried. Mr. D. Higgins, M.P., moved, and Mr. Cameron seconded a reCution, requesting the chairman to arrange the day for the deputation to attend at Downing street. After some furthe r discussion, it was agreed that this deputation, whilst mai s l y s consisting of Irish Members , p ea king in their capacity as representatives of that country, should include such English Members as might be willing thus to advance their mutual object.

EXTENSIVE DISCCvERY OF COINS.—On Tuesday last a discovery of ancient coins was made at the village of Cadnam, in the: New Forest; they were in an earthen ware vase, and numbered about 8,000, and consisted princi pally of brass, of the reigns of Gallienus, Postumus, Tic torinus, Claudius, Gothicus, and Tetrleus, and a few of other Emperor s, about the seine period. The man, who was a shoemaker of the village, was at work in a garden near his house, where he turne( them up about one foot from the sur face. The neck of the vase was small, and the coins much encrusted together. The man, in his eagerness to view his treasure, broke it to Pitces. It appears from the description to be of very neat fora and workmanship. A great portion of the coins were in rather bad condition, but some very good. Several of them have been purchased by Mr. Drew> of this town, who will be ha?py to give any one a sight of them. Hampshire _lndepenelod.

EASTERN COUNTIES JUNCTION AND SOUTHEND RAlLWAY.—Yest er d a a meeting was held before Master Sir William H orne, t o c onsider the cases of some provisional committeemen, which had been adjourned from the last oc casion. In the case of Mr. North, whom the official mana ger sought to have placed on the list in respect of one hun dred shares, Mr. Glasse, who represented the former, contended that the name of his client should be- struck off, en the ground that he had applied by letter for one hundred shares of 20/. each, whereas it appeared that he had been alloted that number at 25/. each share. His Honour, con sidering the objection insurmountable, directed the name of Mr. North to be expunged from the list. The othor cases taken were again postponed, and none of them presented any features of general interest.

THE SLATE TRADE. —A considerable increase has taken place during the last half-year in the export of slate from the various quarries in North Wales, a circumstance at tributed to the repeal of the brick duty causing an impetus to the erection of houses. From the port of Carnarvon alone the exports for the last half-year have been 61,400 tons, being an increase of 11,000 tons over the prior half year, and for the month of February the shipment has been to the extent of 6,200 tons. In other ports a large increase is apparent. RETURNING SENSE.—Mr. Leach, of Manchester, ;teed at a Chart ist soirée at Sheffield lately, that " he had spent eighteen of the best years of his life in speech -making , but he would be sorry to waste the next eighteen years with out making a more sensible and manly eff g ort towards doing good." 56 p 56 p 33% 21% x.l DRURY-LAN i; THEATRE.
