MOSES and SON have for a period exceeding twenty years, by indefatigable exertions, endeavoured to supply the publ'c at such prices as, prior to their times, was never considered possible ; they have been the introducers of a new era in their trade, and their suc cess proves that they have made pounds, shillings, and pence, in every sense of the words, available to the happiness of the com munity, by placing abundance in the power of their customers, and that, therefore, the commercial connexion with them and the public is so ossentia.lly important to every Interest, that it must be con tinued. In every channel of their vast stream of trade as Tailors, Clothiers, Batters, Hosiers, Furriers, Boot and Shoemakers, and General Out fitters for Ladies and Gentlemen, that they have fully carried out their great principles, of high qualities and low prices, the immense multitude which has so long and hots unchangeably patronised who th are , suffi c i en tly testifies ; and if, percace, there should be any not personally aware of this great fact, we invite them on the prin ciple of mutual advantage, to enable us to prove, that by sating to them their pounds, shillings, and pence, we in reality study their happiness, and they will find that to become our customers, is to them and to us, most important.

CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 8, NEW COVENTRY-STREET, LEICESTER-SQUARE, LONDON. The FOURTH ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of the Proprie tors of this Company took place on the 25th instant, at the Head Office, at One o'clock precisely. The following is extracted from the report, which is too lengthy for publication : During the past year no claims have arisen from deaths in England. and but two in Ireland—one for 5001. and the other for 2801.—making together 7001., which have been paid. This is far below the expected mortality, and is especially favourable, when it is remembered how severely the life offices generally suffered from the epidemic of last year. The number of lives assured between the Ist of June, 1849, and the 31st of May, 1850, was more than double the number issued in the twelve months preceding. Proposals were made for 138 Policies, amounting to 52,9631.25. 6d.: of these 123, comprising 106 lives, were accepted for 45,1251. 6s. Sixteen Policies lapsed, representing 6,0481., upon which 3201. 3s. was received by the Company in the shape of premiums. Since the commencement of the Company to the let of June last, assurances were effected to the extent of 110,9721. 125. 6d., pro ducing in annual premiums 3,7321. Ile. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of whisk the annual premiums were 7411. Is., leaving the yearly income on the lot of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. Ild. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., bat 1,1831. 1 Is. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four months they had considerably extended their business on the Continent, having appointed, as Head Agent in France, Monsieur de l'Etang, a gentleman of high standing in Paris, distinguished for his integrity and ability in financial and in all assurance matters, who. under the sanction and patronage of the Archbishop of Paris, the Cardinal Archbishop of Lyons, and Monseigneur Parisis, Eveque de Langres, has already within the last three months effected a con siderable amount of business, not only in Life Assurances, but in An nuities both Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secretary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and Mitre prospects.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.—Under the provisions of an Act of Par liament, recently obtained, this Company now offers to future In surers a low Rate of premium without participation in Profits; or a moderate scale of premiums with four-fifths of the Profits to be de rived from all Assurances hereafter effected. The divisions of Profits which heretofore have been made Septen nially will in future be made Quinquennially, the first of such divi sions to be declared in June 1855, when all participating policies which shall have subsisted at least one year at Christmas, 1854, will be allowed to share in the profits. At the several past divisions of profits made by this Company, the reversionary Bonuses added to the policies from one.half the profits amounted, en an average of the different ages, to about 1 per cent. per annum on the sums insured, and the total bonuses added to the four septennial divisions exceeded 770,0001. FOREIGN RISKS.—The extra Premiums required for the East and West Indies, the British Colonies, and the northern parts of the United States of America, have been materially reduced. LOANS granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values, pro vided such Policies shall have been effected a sufficient time to have attained in each case a value not under 501. In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared on the sth of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies which had been in force seven years at Chrms 1849, and te same is now in course of payment daily (Friday a ist and Saturday exchepted), between the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office; and EGso by the Agents in the Country Districts. Notice Is hereby given, that Assurances which expire at Lady Day must be renewed within fifteen days at this Office, or with Mr. Sams, No. 1, St. James's-street, corner of Pall-mall, or with the Company's Agents throughout the Kingdom, otherwise they be come void.

In comparing the two plans before the public for improv ing the meat market, there are more elements for considers, tion than the simple merits of either plan. Government proposes to remove Smithfield, which would be an absolute good. The Corporation proposes a very comprehensive plan, which can scarcely be said to remove Smithfield Market, in the popular sense of carrying it out of town, but which would totally remove two other nuisances, and would remove the most serious objections to a live-meat market in the centre of the metropolis. A pamphlet has just issued from the press, for the purpose of making this plan clear to the public mind; and we must say that it has very greatly mo • dified our opinion.' To that easily procured document we may refer for a dis tinct and graphic account of the plan and of its contingent advantages ; but its general nature may be very briefly indi cated. On the Western side of Smithfield lies a region of agglomerated nuisances--narrow crooked streets and laby rinthine alleys, private slaughter-houses, low skin-dressers, and tripe-makers, low lodging-houses, and worse. Behind the India-house is a long-doomed nuisance, called Leaden hall Market, for killed meat. Now both these comprehen sive nuisances are to be absolutely removed. The bad region West of Smithfield is to be cleared out, and on its site is to be constructed avast market covering an area larger than Lin coln's Inn-fields, with a frontage Westwards, and new streets surrounding it. In the front part would be the market for killed meat, a broad parallelogram building; behind that the cattle market; of an amphitheatric form, surrounded by a wall, and outside that by an open street. The extreme back of the semicircular wall would abut upon the present Smith field. To the dexter side of the market front, Northwards, would lie a range of slaughter-houses. By this plan the market would be entirely shut away from the thoroughfare. The newest improvements of drainage, ventilation, Sic., would practically annul the substantial nuisances arising ftora the assemblage of so many beasts and the slaughtering; the blood and other effusions being carried off by the great sewer to the Essex marshes. We presume that humanity would be conciliated by finally adopting the new mode of slaughter ing beasts—puncturing the spinal cord. The passage of cattle through the streets of London is chiefly injurious in the day ; by an absurd enactment, it can now take place only during that bad time : according to the plan of the Cor poration, it would be limited to the night. Perhaps it would be possible to disarm it altogether of any unpleasant or formidable consequences, by placing the beasts in move able pens, of which they would themselves be the motive power. Let us survey the contingent advantages of the plan. Smithfield cleared out, and made the site of model lodging houses, baths, fountains, Ike. (for that is a constituent part of the scheme) ; the region to the West, a shocking nest of nuisances, diseases, and abominations, cleared out, and a h an dsome market substituted ; Leadenhall: Market abolished ; the cattle traffic of the day abolished ; a central market re tained, and the transit of cattle across London, from the Southern counties and the docks, minimized. Practically, this seems to us to secure more than was promised by the mere exile of Smithfield out of the City— a great deal more. There is another element in the calculation. Government promises are now reckoned in the same category with lovers' vows, pie-crusts, and egg-shell—Government has a" Bill," but when the public shall have the consequent fact, who shall say ? The Corporation also has a Bill, and it generally honours its bills; it is ready to make the scheme a great fact—now. -------- • " The Moral and Sanitary Aspects of the New Central Cattle Market, as proposed by the Corporation of the City of London.

An active business continues to prevail in our market, but, probably owing to the violent fluctuations in railway stock, with less inquiry for dividend mines, influenced also by the new projects bringing forward, and their absorption not only of a large amount of capita], but the attention of s p e culators. It is gratifying again to rem ar k that consider able success is attending the workings of several recently established mines, and others of standard value, both in the east and west of our mining districts, the shares in which have advanced in proportion, and considerable business transacted in them. We renew our caution to speculators to study the terms cf a prospectus ()revery new mining sett, and to spread their capital over .a number rather than em bark largely in one venture. In the Metal Market, Copper is hi fair demand.-Lead is steady, with a good business. English Refined Tin moves off tolerably well, but bars and blocks are almost unsaleable. Foreign Tin is very dull, and prices are rather easier: the c l ea rances for home consumption conti nue l arge . , Wheal Trelawny sold 140 tons of silver-lead ore-10 0 of which realised 221. 125., and 40 (N O. 2), at 11. 16 5 .-being u pwards of 2,3304 for the month. The Herodsfoot Feb. ores, 80 tons, realised 12 1 . 15 s. per ton =1,020/. Esgair Llee have 25 tons of lead ore ready for sampling. Cwm Erfin dressed 17 tons of ore last month, and the same quantity is expected this month. At Lewis, 31 1 /, tons of tin ores were sampled on the 11th instant. At Trelyon Consols, the tin lode is sa id t o be as good as ever, and is being extended on east and wes , . The shaft has been sunk about 9 fms. below the 32 fns. level, and the lode holds down good. At Wheal llamlyn a lode has been tut, 30 feet wide. At New East Crowndale preparations are making for a new steam-engine, to enable them to explore the lode at a deeper level, which the prospects at the 14 and 24 fin. levels fully warrant.

THE ARMY AND NAVY. From the United Service Gazette of this day.) TILE BREYKT.—We regret to hear that the Brevet; which was to have taken place on the 9th of November next, the anniversary of the birth of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, is postponed, in consequence of the war at the Cape, and the present political state of the affairs of the country: VACANT REGIMENT.—The decease of General Sir Alexan der Duff, G C. 8., has placed at the disposal of the Com mander-in-Chief the Colonelcy of the 37th Regiment. We regret to hear that Rear-Admiral Sotheby is seriously indisposed. Diter - Ts FOR FOREIGN SERVICE.—The following detach ments are under order to jon the service companies of their regiments :—The sth Fusiliers and 12th Regimeni for the Mauritius; 3 officers and 21 men of the 15th Regiment, and 2 officers and 60 men of the 37th Regiment, for Ceylon. BAunADoEs CommAren.—His Grace the Commander-in- Chief has declined to allow Captain Watson, of tr e 16th Re giment, to accept an appointment cn the staff of Major-Gen •ral Wood, at Barbadoes, two captains of the same corps being al ready employed on staff duties. STAFF.—Captain Mein, Major of Brigade in the Midland Counties' district, has been ordered to rejoin his regiment, the 13th Light Infantry, it being about to embark for foreign ser vice; and Captain Wood, of the same corps, Major of Brigade at Chatham, has been allowed to retain that appointment on the understanding that he retires on half-pay. By the death of Captain John Meade there is a vacancy for the promotion of an old Commander to the rank of captain on the Retired List of 1840, with an addition of 6d. a day to his income. We regret to hear that Lieut.-Colonel Lock, Royal Artil lery, who has recently been suffering from severe illness, at Chatham, is now confined in an insane establishment. It is reported that Major-General Brough, Colonel Com mandant of the 9th Battalion of the Royal Artillery, is suf.- hiring from severe indisposition. THE CENSUS OF THE NANY.—Books and forms for taking the census have been sent to the royal naval ports to be filled up by all parsons on board the ships in ordinary, and in the dockyard, on the night of the 30th inst. Captain William Moorsom, whose advancement we an nounced exclusively in last week's Gazette, was promoted by the Board of Amiralty, and not by the patronage of the First Lord, or the complimentary report of Colonel Dundas and the committee appointed to witness the experiments recently made in the Excellent of the concussion shells invented by the gallant officer. The gallant officer has since been ap• pointed to the Fisgard, flag-ship, at Woolwich, for the pur pose of carrying on the shell experiments. SPECIAL TRAINS IN THE WEST OF ENGLAND. —At the dinner to the Directors of the General Screw Steam Shipping Company at Plymouth on the departure of the first mail screw steamer for the Cape, it was boastingly promised by the Chairman of the South Devon railway that on the signal of the ship's arrival from the Cape, a special train would be in waiting to convey the mails to London without a moment's delay. The value of this promise sill be easily estimated when it is known that the ship arrived at 9.30, but the spe cial train did not start until 1.55 A.m. This may do for De vonshire, but Mr. Woollcombe may depend upon it it will not do for the Cape mail dispatch. Why, in the interval that elapsed from the arrival of the ship and the departure of the train, the mails would have been at the General Post office from Southampton. The average rate of speed of the Bosphorus, taking the whole of her voyage to the Cape and back, was 7 knots and 8-tenths. TUX GREAT BRITAIN SCREW STEAM•SIIIP.—It is well known that this leviathan screw ship, of Dundrum Bay no toriety, was purchased by a Liverpool firm for 18,0001. about two months ago. Vs e understand that it is now deter mined to make her not only a seaworthy, but an efficient screw steamer for Atlantic navigation ; and with this view she has been placed in the hands of Penn and Co., engineers, of . Greenwich. The old and inefficient machinery, boilers and all, which are nominally of 1,000-horse power, but could never work up to that amount, are to come out, and Messrs. Penn are to construct and fit new screw machinery of 500-horse power ; and it is understood that she is to be ready for sea by the Ist Sept., in order that she may take over to New York some of the longest visitors to the Great Exhibition. It is estimated that, including her pur chase money, she will be completed for about t. 0,0001. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. DEATH OF ADMIRAL OF THE WHITE SIR EDWARD HAMILTON, BART., K.C.B. We regret to announce the death of that most distinguished officer the hero of that celebrated cutting-out expedition of the Hermione, Admiral of the White, Sir Edward Hamilton, K.C.8., better known as "Captain of the Surprise." We believe there are now only three survivors of that desperate affair which has rendered the name of Hamilton immortal in naval annals. By the death of Sir Edward Hamilton, Tice-Admiral the Earl Dundonald, G.C.8., commander-in-chief in the West Indies, becomes admiral of the blue, and comes home in the Wellesley, 72, with his flag at the main. Vice-Admiral Sir William Parker, G.C.8., Bart., is now the senior vice-admiral. W. H. B. Tremlatt becomes vice admiral of the red, and John Impey becomes vice-admiral of the white. Rear-Admiral Charles P. B. Bateman becomes vice-ad miral of the blue, leaving Arthur Lysaght senior of the rear admirals' list. Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., becomes rear admiral of the red, and A. R4Sharpe, C. 8., rear-admiral of the white. Captain William Willmot Henderson, C. 8., K.H. (Oct. 9, 1815), becomes the junior rear-admiral on the active list, leaving Sir John Hill (Oct. 28, 1815) as senior captain. Captain G. B. Martin, C.B. (1828), succeeds to the senior half-pay list; Captain W. Sidney Smith (1837), succeeds to the second senior list. A good-service pension and a commander's promotion to the rank of captain are now in the gift of the First Lord of the Admiralty. Commander Arthur Morrell (1823), a distinguished officer, who was governor of Ascension for four years, has been ap pointed to the Boscawen, depot-ship at Chatham, as com mander of the ordinary, to succeed Commander Cammilleri, whose term of service has expired. There is little doubt now that the duties of Chatham ordinary will be conducted in a comfortable as well as an efficient manner. The Pyrenees. convict-ship, for Swan River, got away from Spithead on Thursday, but she cannot have made much progress down Channel. The foul weather has prevented the departure from De onport of the Alecto, steam-sloop, for the coast of Africa, and the Bonetta, 3, for Ri PORTSMOUTH, MARCH 20.--Vice-Admiral Fir George Say 'flour, K.C.8., in the Cumberland, 70, remains at St. He len's, win bound. The Penelope steam-frigate, 22, Captain Lyster, wa s un docked this morning, and came out of the steam basin. _ _ The Pyrenees convict-ship sailed from St. Helen's roads this morning. The Portuguese steam -sloop weighed from Cowes roads this morning at daylight., and sailed eastward. The Prince Regent. 90, Captain Harris, has received a new mast and bowsprit, and will now be docked again to complete her outfit. The American line of packet ship Independence arrived th's morning frem New York, 20 days out. APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, MARCH 20.—Paymaster and Purser William T.

Master's-Assistant C. J. Cawley to the Victory, flag-ship at Portsmouth. _ _ The Leopard steam-frigate when out of the hands of the shipwrights will have ballast put on board, and then be taken round Portsmouth to be fitted at that port for service. _ . Megsera, 10, steam- frigate, built of iron, and fitted with engines of 350-ho:ae power, and sister ship to the Vulcan, is now nearly ready for sea at Sheerness. PoRTSMOUTII, Mancu 21.—A court-martial comprising Rear-Admiral 11. Prescott, C. 8., President; Captains 11. D. Chads, C. 8., of the Excellent; Lord Edward Russell, of the Vengeance; W. H. Henderson, of the Blenheim ; F. P. Blackwood, of the Victory; Lyster of the Penelope; Harris, of the Prince Regent; and Mr. G. L. Greetham, Deputy Judge Advocate of the Fleet, assembled this morn at nine o'clock on board the flag-ship Victory, in this har bour, to try Commander St. Ledger, the officers, and ship's company of her Majesty's late steam-sloop Flamer, lost off Munrovia, coast of Liberia, on the 22d of November. We duly reported the particulars of the loss at the time the Cylops arrived in England with the news ; it is therefore unnecessary to recapitulate them, as they are fresh in the memory of the service. The first parties put upon their trial were— Mr. Reed, the master, and the crew of the Flamer, who, after the evidence had been given, were acquitted of all blame in her loss. Mr. Baker, mate of the Flamer, was then put upon his trial for drunkenness, adjudged guilty of the offence, and sentenced to be dismissed from her Majesty's service. Commander St. Ledger, First-Lieut. Kelham, and Henry Elam (a private marine, for shooting a Krooman), were then put upon their trial ; but as this case was adjourned, after hearing the prosecution, until to-morrow, we are prohibited from going into it.

HOUSE OF LORDS, March 21. COUNTY COURTS EXTENSION BILL. Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of this Bill. He proposed, as one of the alterations, that in ease of a new trial being granted in a county court, the venue of such new trial should be laid before another c ounty court judge. It had b een suggeste d that in all cases the defendant s h ou ld b e cal l e d upon to g ive notice that he means to defend, an d that if he does not gi ve suc h no tice 0 shall not b Miles opened, _ _ 67% 79 322 1713 i 22% 236 262% 90 260 12% 5183 5% 1733 239 Receipts. 1851. £924 560 £1,258 b9l 168 1,058 44 ,t ) . be permitted to de d, but that lould-h* treated as an u efended cause,siving the defendant p ewer of apply' ei to the learned judge to he permitted to defend, i it should appear upon affidavit that he had in the interim discovered new evidence; this was a matter worthy of consideration. He At to give the county court judges jurisdiction Aa tithe cases; several clergymen had urged him to add this provision to the Bill. It had been held utterly ab surd to apply to the Court of Chancery in any matter in which the amount in dispute was less than 1,000/. ; he would not exaggerate, but he would propose to give to the county eosin judges a Chancery jurisdiction infall cases in which the amount to be decided on was under 1001. These were tine alterations be proposed ; these were all the additions he proposed to the contentious jurisdictions of the county courts. It had been sug gested to extend the jurisdiction of these courts to all cases in which the matter in dispute amounted to 100/.; but he would not propose it, at least for the pre sent. He also proposed that parties might by agre e• ment give jurisdiction to the county courts in all cases and under any conditions. He proposed to leave the ju risdiction by agreement absolutely unfettered. In many districts ancient local county courts were in existence, possessing very extensive jurisdictions. Now, in these ancient courts the expenses were much greater than they were in the county courts. Now, he proposed that the causes usually carried into these ancient local courts should be transferred to the county courts, giving compensation to the officers of the ancient court out of the additional fees which would be received in the county courts. He proposed that whenever a town council should petition the Queen in Council to extinguish a local ancient court, and to trans fer its jurisdiction to a county court, a Judicial Com mittee of the Privy Council should have the power so to do. He proposed that a commission shall issue to in quire into all the ancient local courts. This branch of the subject was so important that he never could believe the county court system had been brought to anything like per fection until this was done. The abuse shown in awarding compensation was such as to make it absolutely necessary for Parliament to hold a tight hand, and to keep a watchful eve upon the system. What would their Lordships think of 2,0001. a year being granted as compensation for an office that was in itself a sinecure? and of 3,9001. for another office that was nearly a sinecure? What would their Lordships think was the amount of compensation granted to certain clerks in the Court of Chancery? Some of them receive 6,0001. a year for offices that have been regulated, and midst be also considered as sinecures. —(Hear, hear.) These sums had been awarded them upon this scale— not on the average of a great number of years, but on the 111110 ant of the revenue of one year, and during that one year they had the power of increasing the revenue in antieipation of the compensatory consideration they were about te re ceive. This compensation, too, was given to them not only for their lives, but for se many years after their decease. He would propose that no person appointed to any office, either in the new coukty courts, or in any of the old county courts, shall have any claim to compensation in respect to the abolition of any office held before the passing of this Act, or in respect to any alterations in the office arising from new arrangements. He had the strongest impressions of the expediency of these institutions. In France and in Belgium the good that was done by them it was impossible to con jecture. These tribunals were confined to mercantile men appointed by the Government of the country They exere cised exclusive jurisdiction in the first instance over all mercantile cases whatever. The clerk or registrar of those courts was the only professional man connected with them. From theme an appeal lies to the Court of Appeal, and ulti mately to the Court of Cessation. The oldest lawyers v. ere agreed as to the value of these Chambers of Commerce in the saving of expenses ofdelay, and of anxiety to the suitors. The conduct of these judges has been such as to give the most uniform satisfaction. Ile hoped that at no great distance of time there would be introduced into this country the invalu able blessing of these tribunals of commerce. He would not follow the precedent in the first instance of making theta courts of exclusive jurisdiction. He should begin 1,7 making them voluntary, and by providing that if both parties agreed they might go into one of these tribunals of commerce and have their dispute settled—cheaply, speedily, and indisput ably settled by these merchant judges. In proposing the formation of courts of reconcilement, he should observe that they had been established in France, Denmark, Switzerland, and Belgium. They had been found most valuable in recon ciling parties that appealed to them, particularly those courts in which professional men were not permitted to appear on behalf of the parties. In towns where the notary or attorney beset the client, we find that the answer given to the judge of the court of reconcilement, when he puts the usual ques ' tion, " Have you any proposal to make?" or, " Is there any possibility of reconciling the parties?" was, by the attorney, that there was no ground for reconcilement. The conse quence was, that there was very little done in the way of reconciling matters. He proposed to make it a part of his Bill that no professional party whatever, either barrister or attorney, should be permitted to go before the judges of these courts of reconcilement as professional advisers. A clause had been inserted in the Bill to repeal a provision that had most unfortunately and improperly found its way into the Act of 1846. He was not aware of such a provision. He could only account for this by the circumstance of the Bill having been brought in at a late period of the session. The provision to which he referred was that which prevented a barrister appearing in court unless he had been instructed by an attorney An attempt was lately made in Westminster Hall to enforce this provision in the case of a barrister ap pearing there without being instructed by an attorney. The application was, however, At once rejected, when it was declared that a barrister had a right to appear there without being instructed by an attorney. At the same time, the judge said that it was certainly contrary to the rule of the profession, and to professional etiquette, for a barrister to appear under such circumstances. A Learned Friend of his (Lord Brougham) had, however, lately enforced that proviso, that no barrister, according to the rules of his court, should appear there without being instructed by an attorney. Now a party would naturally prefer to have an attorney at half the expense than to have the attorney and the barrister to gether. One great objection to a barrister appearing in court without an attorney was this : from whom was the barrister to receive instructions from nut his client? He would often, then, be obliged to examine a number of wit nesse., and thus to instruct himself so as to enable him to discharge the duty he had under taken. lie was, there fore, in eflect doing business both as barrister and attorney. Notwithstanding all the advantages they would confer on them, the attorneys would still have an advantage over bar risters in there courts. It was proposed, in order to do justice between the two branches of the profession, that the euurts should be divided; that twelve courts should be held annually, in which there should be jurisdiction in all cases under 201, and in which attorneys should be allowed to practise; but for the higher jurisdiction, in cases between 201. and 501., that courts should be held every alternate month, at a different day and place, but before the sane judge, in which the barristers should practice; and by that means the attorneys would have the inferior, and the barria ters the superior courts of jurisdiction. It was, he would ob serve, of the greatest importance that there should be a judici ous selection of judges presiding in these courts; and in these cases a most false economy was practised—first., in under paying those learned judges ; and, secondly, in grudging com pensation to the judges who formerly held the county courts. By that means the choice of the late Lord Chancellor was restricted, because the effect of the miserable saving of a few thousand pounds could net be put in competition with the importance of selecting able and efficient men to preside in courts where hundreds of thousands of cases were tried annually. Certainly if any imperfection existed it was owing to that false, and, as it might be termed, most extravagant economy. Another error was the throwing the expense of the erections of the county courts upon the suitors. If a poor maa had a case to bring before one of these comity courts he must contribute out of the costs to a fund for building these courts. Then with regard to the remuneration to be awarded to legal men, it was a great mistake to make the fees depend upon the amount sought to be recoved, because every body knew that the difficulty attending the recovery of small sums was often greater than in recovering large amounts. Instead of tying down the parties to certain sums to be paid to the counsel, he proposed to give to thejudges of the supe rior courts from time to time power to frame tables of costs. He believed if clients generally knew the peculiar position in which professional men were placed, it would be better for them and the profession itself, because a solicitor or attorney could not receive a single farthing of his costs until his bill was taxed, and every overcharge was struck off. He had stated to their Lordships the improvements that suggested themselves to him. He believed that the amendments sug bycatdheNoble efa and Leounoti: sug gested would be found to work well, and he now called upon their Lordships to give the Bill a second reading. The LORD CHANCELLOR did not understand that his Noble and Learned Friend wished to invite discussion at the present moment. Doubtless many of the suggestions of the Noble and Learned Lord were worthy of consideration. He bore his testimony to the able and impartial manner in which the judges of these courts had discharged their im portant functions. He certainly thought that the interven tion of an attorney between the barrister and the client had been hitherto found to work well. With regard to the ftuestion of arbitration, to which his Noble and Learned riend had referred, he might, with his great acumen and legal experience, have devised some scheme that would be found to work well. He for one would wait such a measure from his Noble and Learned Friend with much anxiety. With regard to the alterations proposed by his Noble sad Learned Friend in the measure before their Lordships, he should reserve the expression of any opinion for the present, although many of them, he doubted not, would be extremely useful. Lord CRANWORTH thought it would be advisable that L e o they their Lordships co d ainb id utioilth not ha e b om its m an it upon the amendments of the Noble and With reard to th be found to work well they had them fully before th courts of reconcilement Lord, he doubted cases of simple debt their services could in this country.

After a few words of explanation f rom Lord BROUGHAM, Lord MANGER said the county courts le en, i n p a ws o fact, already to a great extent courts of reconcilement. The Bill was then read a second time, and Their Lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS, Marsh 21. _ HOUSE TIIE SCENE IN THE LAST NIGHT. Mr. REYNOLDS at this stage of the proceeding, moved that the House, at it s r i s i ng , do adjourn till MOW day next, when Mr. MOORE immediately rose to recall the attention of the House to the scene that occurred lest night. Ile said he felt compelled, howeve r painful it might be to himselt and the House. to call the attention of the House to the subject for the sake of his own chit. ructer and position, and in doing so, he assured the House that if b e bad given expressions to feelings of indignation last evening w hi c h were not called for by the circumstances of the case, it Was to be attributed to his ignorance of the rules of that House and the authority of the Speaker, b ot h of which it was their interest as well as duty t o maintain inviolate.—(Scar, hear.) He could not, however, allow the slightest misconception to exist as to what were 010 opini on s which ho exp ressed on that occasion. His opiion was that to speak, not only with irreverence hut with levity almost amounting to indecency, of that sacred name which all generations of Chris tians called blessed, ought not to be permitted in any assembly professing to be Christian.—(" Hear," from the Irish Members.) If those allusions, instead of being applied to the mother of God, had been applied to the mother of princes in this country, such profanation would have been immediately checked. — ( o Lear.) He would not, as the Honourable Member for Ripon. had said, sully his lips by repeating such a term, which be considered ought not to be per mitted in an iseembry on e or lick 'rod. pro i ( i eve 92. pet ate. ill.; i• Alb 313TG ;NM 961/1 62 P 96% 414 V.) 3er of peti• t this [ dress .0 last It ig urt of irtiett series nislia este A poet EL- ettire , been everal l asing f her a rtist can , 9 the -whet very gins! , osier' ! e gret') very' r pre' d the rith A f ir ted halter ••••..... -.----- 3eux• wife lady ajar my Ilford a, O f 1 1 12, 1 • 9}(, 28 496 4 442 3,4 M 6,010 1,321 650 2,701 14,395 1,910 3,020 2,162 3,025 947 2,429 3,906 13,914 3,241 11,813 101 40,145 599 7,924 8,706 104 4,908 358 556 21,047 1,004 2,017 3,223 4,370 1,212 375 1,206 427 1,620 6,268 1,068 1,933 819 208 12,293 6.552 654 3,788 6,038 2,:87 388 801 571 339 609 146 594 3,602 11,869 1,864 3,557 1,960 352 3,600 984 7,656 4,125 13,539 3,815 13,923 293 39,051 739 7,621 8,800 167 122 5,894 407 614 20,454 1,125 2,065 3,326 4,739 482 1,493 502 1,478 511 1,714 8,7 18 904 1,277 2,560 861 380 'sl 12,605 7,252
