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. ll e 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 bat his client? He would often, then, be obliged to examine a number of wit nesses, and thus to instruct himself so as to enable him to discharge the duty he had undertaken. He was, there fore, in effect 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 these courts. It was proposed, in order to do justice between the two branches of the profession, that the courts 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 2( 1. and 501., that courts should be held every alternate month, at a different day and place, but before the same judge, in which the barristers should practice; and by that means the attorneys would have the inferior, and the barris 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 thoseliamed 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 not 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 man had a case to bring before one of these county 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 the judges 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 costa 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 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 tke 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 question of arbitration, to which his Noble and Learned Friend 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 and Learned Friend in the measure before their Lordships, be should reserve the expression of any opinion for the present, although many of them, he doubted not, would be extremely [PRICE SD. useful. Lord CIIANWORTH thought it would be advisable that their Lordships did not commit themselves to any opinion upon the amendments of the Noble and Learned Lord until they had them fully before them. With regard to the courts of reconcilement suggested by the Noble and Learned Lord, he doubted whether they would be found to work well in this country. In cases of simple debt their services could never be called into requisition, and in cases of dispute it would be like establishing a corps of consulting barristers to give advice that could be obtained by the litigants in another manner. Knowing the habits and feelings of this country, he doubted whether such tribunals would ever become popular. After a few words of explanation from Lord B ROUGHAM, Lord ABINGER said the county courts were, in point 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„March 21. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. MANCHESTER IMPROVEMENT BILL.

PAPAL AGGRESSION. Sir It. H. INGLIS presented petitions from Pershore and several other places against the Papal aggression, and praying for a more stringent measure. Mr. W. 0. STANLEY presented a petition, signed by the Corporation of Chester and a great number of the inhabitants, to the sumo effect. Sir J. Y. BULLER presented petitions from the Wes leyan congregations of several places in Devonshire, against the Papal egression. Mr. DODD and Mr. BECKETT also presented petitions from similar congregations and to the same effect. Mr. MUNTZ presented petitions from Worcester shire, stating that the petitioners were as anxious to pre serve the political rights of the Roman Catholic subjects of the realm as their own, but expressing a trust that the House would pass somo measure whereby the au thority of the Pope, or the authority of any other foreign potentate, may be prevented from exercising any power in this land. Mr. SPOONER presented 16 petitions from different parts of the country deprecating any trifling with the subject of the Papal aggression, and praying that the House would adopt some stringent measures for its im msdiate repression. Mr. Child, Lord Seakam, and several other members presented petitions from various Wesleyan congregations against the Papal aggression. The Earl of Arundel and Surrey, Mr. Morgan John O'Connell, and other Members presented petitions against the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL also presented a petition from Bally cotton, in the county of Cork, stating that a peti tion had been presented from that county, signed by a number of children, the eldest of whom was not more than twelve, and many of whom not more than three years of age. He, therefore, wished to draw the atten tion of the House to the fact, that the petitioners prayed that ts Bill, supported by such discreditable means, might not pass into a law. Mr. CHRISTOPHER presented eighteen petitions from different parts of Kesteven, in the county of Lin coln, complaining of the distress in which the agricultu rists were now placed, and praying for a revision of the tariff. Mr. FITZROY presented two petitions praying that the fifth clause of this Bill may not become part of the law. Mr. W. EVANS presented petitions from several places in Derbyshire against the Papal aggression, and praying for a more stringent measure than that which was now before the House. He also presented petitions from the Roman Catholics of the same county against the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. Sir J. TROLLOPE also presented several petitions against the Papal aggression. Sir J. TROLLOPE also presented petitions from Sleaford, signed by 4,000 persons, who, in very strong language, complained of the distress into which they had been sunk by the alteration of the corn-laws, and pray ing for a revision of the income-tax. PETO presented several petitions from th e Wesleyan bodies of Norfolk and Suffolk 'Against tho Papal aggression. Si m ilar petitions were presented b Mr. Miles f rom y the Wesleyan Methodists of Somerset; by Mr. B.

Mr. F. O'CONNOR pr esen t e d a Petition from a large number of th e su b scribers to t h e Land Company, the complaining of conduct of the located members and praying the House to pass the winding-up Bill. THE SCENE IN THE HOUSE LAST NIGHT. Mr. REYNOLDS at this stage of the proceeding, moved that the House, at its rising, do adjourn till Mon day next, when ( Mr. MOORE immedia tel y rose to recall the attention of the House to the scene that occurred last night. h He said h e f e lt compelled, ow ever painful it might b e to himself and the House, to call the attention of the IlouEo to the subject for the sake of his ow n cha. meter and position, and in doing so, he assured the House that if he had en expressions to feelings of indignation last evening which were not called for by the circumstances ui the case, it was to be attributed to his ignorance of the rules of that house and the authority of the Speaker, both of which it was their interest as well as duty to maintain inviolate.—(Hear, hear.) He could not, however, allow the slightest misconception to exist as to what were the opinions which he expressed on that occasion. His opinion was that to speak, not only with irreverence but with levity almost amountieg to indecency, of that sacred name which all generations of Chris tians called blessed in any assembly professi ng blessed, ought not to be permitted to be Christian. — ( 4, Rear, „ from the Irish Membe rs .) If t h o se allusions, instead of being applied to the m o th er o f God, had been applied to the mother of princes in this country, such profanation would have been immediately checked.—(Hear.) He would not, as the Honourable Member for Ripon had said, sully his lips by repeating such a term, which he considered ought not to bo permitted in an assembly N°. 18,251.] LONDON, SATURDAY E IN G S N, MARCH 22, 1851.

MOSES and SON have for a period exceeding twenty years, by indefatigable exertions, endeavoured to supply the public 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, lu every sense of the words, available to the happine.s of the com munity, by placing abundance iu the power of their customers, and that, iherefore, the commercial connexion with them and the publii: Ls so essentially 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 so unchangeably patronised them. sufficiently testifies ; and if, perchance, there should be any who are not personally aware of this great fact, we invite them on the prin ciple of mutual advantage, to enable us to prove, that by saving 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.

LONGBOTTOINI, Secretary CATHOLIC LAW AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, S t 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, et 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 200 L—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 betwpen the Ist of June, 1249, 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. gixteen 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. lie. 6d. Of these 54 lapsed, amounting to 23,9901. 16s. 6d., of which the annual premiums were 7411. ls., leaving the yearly income on the let of June last equal to 2,9911. 15s. 11d. Since last meeting loans were applied for to the extent of 17,7001., but 1,1831. I le. 10d. only was advanced. The Directors were also highly gratified to report that within the last four mouths 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 'laity 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 Paris's, 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 beth Immediate and Deferred. After various resolutions, approving of the Report, and returning thanks to the Right Reverend Chairman, Bishop Morris, the Vice- Chairman, Actuary, Secritary, and Medical Officers of the establish ment, the meeting separated, highly gratified at its present results and future prospects.

LIFE DEPARTMENT.—Under the provisions of an Aet 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, on 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 Christmas 1849, and the same is now in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted), between the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office ; and also 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.

"Fair Hope, the season, to the turfite Large stakes, rich handicaps, and sporting fields." Strt,—The fickle goddess has befriended my efforts very generally lately, my fancy animals in almost every instance rennirg first or second. At Warwick, on Tuesday, for the Trial Stakes; I placed Aaron Smith first, and Nancy second; the latter ran home in the place I assigned her, but the former, quite unenited to heavy ground (the course was in a most wretched state—under water in some parts), was no where ! Mark Tapley, with 51bs. less than weight for age, not backed in the ring for a farthing, winning easily. I was second with Kissaway for the Willoughby Handicap, but very near being first ; Cloth worker, best suited to the mud, winning after a desperate struggle' b barely a neck ! On Wednesday, I was very successful, not being wrong in any one instance. Concerning the Great Warwickshire Handicap, I remarked in nAe No. XX, that " The winner, Ifancy, will be one of the Three-years-old, and the SUNRISE to morrow may be a glorious one; and I have but little DOUBT that Mr. Palmer's horse ( Doubt) will be about tiird ;" these remarks were verified to the letter, Sunrise woe easily. by a length, from Bushrang-r, and Doubt was third; the rest of the field, including Mark Tapley, Clothworker, and Zadrc, were in difficulties halfway up the distance. hamy selections for the Castle and Two-year-old Stakes, I yeas on the right scent with the Knight of the Th stle for the wormer, and with the lang filly and Poetess for the latter ;t the bist-named race was a very interesting affair, the Slane ftlly winning by only a neck, after a dead heat with Poetess! '. I should have taken the latter for choice, had 1 been certain of her running. With this stake ended the flat races at Warwick, and with this day the winter quarter closed, after two days cold drench ing rain in a most winter-like manner; however, the spring quarter opened yesterday, luckily, for the steeplechases of the military, in a most brilliant style, the air being warm and balmyoind the ethereal cerulean in great force through out the day. I was very near hitting the first three for the crack Military Steeplechase in Hawkswortb, Johnny Oakes, and Oscar; the first two were placed second and third, being beaten cleverly by Colonel Shirley's Fuglethan. The first "meet" of the legitimate racing season is at North ampton on Tuesday and Wednesday next ; the anticipations of sport and attendance is first-rate, I hope they may be rea lized. The trial Stakes is the first on the list, among the nominations for which figure the names of Nancy, Peep o'day Boy, Recruit, and the Swede. It is difficult to say at this present writing whether Peep-o'day Boy or Recruit will be found at the post, I should say not; consequently NANCY must be my winner, with the Swede second best in my estimation. Second on the list stands the first Northampton Triennial Stakes, f, r which 22 youngsters are entered, none of whom have ever appeared in public; se lecting a winner from such a lot is hazardous work, but, as I have no public tanning to guide me, 1 must judge by the stable reports, which announce the following facts :—Lord Clifden's Magnes and Sackbut, and Mr. Watson's Ambrose, are the Newmarket guns; Lord Eglinton's Pelopidas is something more than a pocket-pistol ; Red Hind represents Goodwood ; and Freedom, Hirsute, and Frantic are dashing animals, the property of the confederates, Messrs. Payne and Greville. At present, not knowing which horses Lord Clifden cr the confederates intend to run for this particular stake, I must hold hard until Monday, believing, however, that the representatives of these stables and Pelopidas will be certain to carry off the stake. The Great Northampton Stakes stand next on the card ; I anticipate seeing a field of 16 or 17 at the post, viz : St. Rosalia, 5 yrs, Bst 31b—Le gerdemain. 5 yrs, 7st 1 Ilb—Clothworker, 5 yrs, 7st 91b— Kissaway, 5 yrs, 7st 61b—Bushranger, 4 yrs, 7st 41b—Zadoc, 4 yrs, 7st 31b—The Cocktail, 5 yrs, 7st 31b—Mooltan, 4 yrs, 7st lib—Cottager, 5 yrs, Est 81b—The` Swindler, 4 yrs, Est 51b—Nutmeg, 4 yrs, Est 31b—Torpor, 4 yrs, sst 121 b, •or Harpsichord, 3 yrs, sst 51b—The Ban, 3 yrs, sst 101b—Sister to Legislator, 4 yrs, sst 71b—colt y John o'Gaunt, 3 yrs, 4st 131b--Pardemus, 3 yrs, 4st 191b—Ginevra, 3 yrs, 4st 101 b, or Mouse, 4 yrs, 7st 21b—Leap Year, 3*yrs, 4st 71b. Having carefully analyzed the chances of .the animals engaged in this stake some time since (February 7 and 14), in Notes, Nos. 8 and 10, it is not worth while doing this again ; I then spoke favourably of Legerdemain, Clothworker, the Cocktail, Nutmeg, The Ban, colt by John &Gaunt, and Ginevra. Legerdemain I still hold in great estimation, and think that she and St. Rosalia will master the top-weights; I also en tertain a favourable opinion of The Cocktail's chance, as well as Nutmeg's, this couple hold the middle weights safe; The Ban is much fancied, he has, however, comparatively with the; other three-years old, a rather still' weight to carry, but, notwithstanding, as he is very game, he may pull Sir Joseph's colours through triumphantly. Ginevra, with the feather 4st 101 b up ought to be in front, as Mr. Payne occasionally wins in a mysterious manner, when least expected, he may do so in this instance. The colt by John o'Gaunt, though not very often backed, I have a strong penchant for; I think it very possible if he does not win, he may repeat Sylvan's performance of 1848. To sum up, I opine, the race will lay between St. Rosalia, Legerdemain, The Cocktail, Nutmeg, The Ban, and c. by John o'Gaunt, and I think it not at all improbable they may catch the judge's eye thus : LEGERDEMAIN ... .„. 1 COLT BY JOHN O'GAIJNT ;.., 2 ST. ROSALIA ' ." -3 the other three close up ; my final remarks on Monday, when I will also touch upon the second day's races in a more general way, merely remarking at the Present moment that The Greek's chance for the Althorpe Park Stakes, al though supported very stiffly throughput yesterday at the West-end,and in,the City, is inferior to others in the race, and that Frantic, Flirt, Miss Conyngham, and one or two New market horses will be heard of favourably before the react' is run ; the three, I've named, however, stand the highest in my estimation. For Earl Spencer's Plate, The Old Fox, 5' yrs, 7st 121 b; Equiria; 4 yrs, 7st 71b; Visite, 4 yrs, Est 1214; Humphrey, 4 yrs, Est 81b; and Souffle, 3 yrs, bat 12110ook the most like business, the last-named for choice. The Ten Soy. Stakes ought to be won by Ginevra or Ella; Sunrise, should imagine, will not run I am, Sir, yours. &c. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. March 21, 1851. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Barbadoes and Antigua at 16s to 16s 6d, other sorts 14s to 15s 6d; Porto Rico and Cuba 14s to 15s 6d; Bengal and Mauritius 12s to 14s; there are several buyers rather under these rates.

COFFEE. --This afternoon holders of Plantation Ceylon Coffee were not disposed to sell at any further reduction, but home dealers operated with caution ; of the parcels offered at public sale, amounting to 370 casks 752 bags, not half found buyers—fine went at 67s 6d to 70s 6d, mid and good 56s to 63s 6d, low mid 54s to 55s 6d, fine and fine fine ord 493 to 535 6d, good ord 46s 6d to 48s 6d, and triage 43s to 495.

In comparing the two plans before the public for improv ing the meat market, there are more elements for considera 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, &c., would practically annul the substantial nuisances wising ftom 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, &c. (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 handsome 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.

The Marquis of LANSITOWNE presented two peti. tions from different bodies of Wesleyan Methodists against Papal aggression. Earl FITZWILLIAM presented several petitions against Papal aggression. 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 now trial being granted in a county court, the venue of such new trial should be laid before another county court judge. It had been suggested that in all cases the defendant should be called upon to give notice that he means to defend, and that if he does not give such notice he shall not be permitted to defend, but that the cause should be treated as an undefended cause, giving the defendant power of applying to the learned judge to be permitted to defend, if it should appear upon affidavit that he had in the interim discovered new evidence; this was a matter worthy of consideration. Ho proposed to give the county court judges jurisdiction in 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 1,0001. ; he would not exaggerate, but he would propose to give to the county court judges a Chancery jurisdiction cases in which the amount to be decided on was under 1001. These were the alterations he 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 agree 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 iato 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 encient 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 eye 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 might 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 amount of the revenue of one year, and during that one year they had the power of increasing the revenue in anticipationt of the compensatory consideration they were about re ceive. This compensation, too, was given to them not o orily for their lives, but for se many years after t t o hei a r n decease. ffie He would propose that no person either in the new county courts, in respect to or in the olcTcounty courts, shall have any claim to comp the passing caar o is f in th g is f A ro c m t, the abolition of any office held before the or in respect to any alterations in the ofi . i new arrangements. He had the strong est impressions of the expediency of these instituti . 1 Fra ons. rice 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 exer 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 them an appeal lies to the Court of Appeal, and ulti mately to the Court of Cessation. The oldest lawyers were 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. He hoped that at no great distance of time there would be introduced into this country the invalu able blessing c f these tribunals of commerce. Ile would not follow the precedent in the first instance of making them courts of exclusive jurisdiction. He should begin by 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, indisput ably settled by these merchant judges.and .n 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, part i cu l ar ly those courts iu which professional m en were not perm itt e d to appear on behalf of the parties. I n towns where the notary or attorne y beset the client, we find that the answer given to the j udge 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 p ar ties?" was , by t he attorne y , that there was no ground for reconcilement. The conse quence was, that there was very little done in the way of reconciling matters.
