It is not denied, however, of these " communities of Sarebas and Sekarran,"—the veritable individuals attacked—that their habits are, to say the least, disagreeable and peculiar. Whatever they may do at sea, they are perpetually at war upon land. Whatever weapons they may want, they have enough, at any rate, to cut off the heads withal of any neighbours they may catch, and these abscinded members they have an ugly fashion of smoking and curing. More over, they must certainly take to their boats sometimes, fur it was in their boats that they were overtaken; but ere are assured that there is no evidence to connect their water expeditions with any but unexceptionable objects. That they are pure savages and practical cannibals every body allows, but they were not " pirates;" nothing so respectable—not up to any such mark, as Mr. Urqu hart very naively put it. Why, then, should they be dealt with so summarily? The argument of Sir James Brooke's accusers, either expressed or implied, avers that he treated these people as pirates in order to rid himself of troublesome neigh. buurs. They disturbed his settlement, twarted his Go vernment, and plundered his subjects. In a regulir war after Boroean fashion they mi g ht have eluted ills pursuit, if not overmastered his forces ; so he wide them pirates for the nonce, enlisted on his side the ter rible resourc , --s of steam and powder, caught than iii their pretties, pounded them into csrrion widi grapeshot, and thus setded the affair out of hand. This is the h-ad anti front ut his ad• ged ()trending, au t, as none knows so well as he whether they were wreaks or not, so no where but in his OWII conscience can h. : fi nd a conclusive beciaitcal.

With what views, thousands? and on therefore, did they put to sea by what presumption is it argued that those whose whole life on land is one of war and butchery, accordieg to their small mean s, should be metamorphosed into harmless innocents when they set out on a cruise. With something more than probability has this whole agitation been traced to what may be either the con scientious outspeaki n g or the private malignity o f a single man. We may ha ve our own o p inions o n the alternative suggested, but t his is not the q uestion with which the public are concerne d.

On Friday morning this railway company gave a pleasure trip to their servants, accompanied by their wives and sweethearts, in all to the number of 1,500, as far as Edinburgh. The train started from Greenock about half-past five, and arrived in Edinburgh at 20 minutes past 10. On the way they had an addition at Glasgow of three carriages, making in all 31, which were all beautifully festooned with flowers and decorated with flags. Having arrived at Edinburgh each took his several way—some to visit the Castle and its environs, and others to see the preparations that were then being made for the teetotal reception on the following day at the Queen's Parks, net for getting to ascend the lamed Arthur's Seat, and obtsin a drink of pure water from St. Anthony's well. Miny others msde still further pie gress by tusking exit from the romantic c_ty, visiting fladrlington, D deeith, Lasswade, Portobello, and Newhaven, thence to Bruntis land. Ooe p arty, at least, traversed the whole of this g ound, and returned again to Greenokk the samv evening —so MUCCI ter railway travelling now- a days. About four o'clock the tsir city's streets were again crowded by the vbitors, and before six (tie hour for starting) inaev of thorn Here very ill prepared tier sprtie f g off, not havnig seen all their eye , would fain save feasted upon. The hour baying, however, ar rived, a tew were ra7htr hind We were pleased to see the gre it good huineur that wa , displayed tbroudi out the whole day. The immense train having reached Carstairs Junction, a vacation of ten minute• was allowed for recreation, where there was a good demand for lemonade and not a little for the "ardent," but the place being " teetotal" they could find none to quench the unebating thirst. It was rather amu sing to see the many tumblers of water that were fetched by the more gallant to their fair partners, more especially being met by some who wished to share the spoil before reaching the destined aqua drinkers. The train then moved off and reached Greenock at half-past ten P.m., and we are sure all were delighted with their day's excursion, and at the same time thankful to the Caledonian Railway Com ps ny, and to the management of Mr. Symington and his assistants, for the kindness of the one and the care of the latter. Such excursions as this cannot but be conducive to the interest of the company, by creating a good feeling between employers and employed. — North British Mail.

Ni, The Marquis t,f LANSDOWNE said that there was no foundation for the report that Government intended to discontinue the mi , sion at Florence. provisions militated against the privileges of the Roman Catholic Church, with which no secular power had my right to meddle. PUNJ ATM BOOTY. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGLI asked what had CUU3T' OF CHANCERY AND JUDICIAL COM- mr r ITE BILI 4. The Nisictiis of LANSDOWNE moved the first reading of oti. Bill Lard BROUGHAM 4aid his Noble Friend had moved the first reading of this 8,11, which, raceording to the praerie. of their Llrd.bips' House with regard to Bibs brous,ht up from th... C , mmons. would otherwi*e have b-en real a fir,t time without remark, in order t,, vivo him au opporiunity of saving a few words on this Bill, and of ad iressing their Lordships for the last time tnis session. He entirely approved of this Bill, out lhe , itsoge to which he wi...hed to aivert was with respect to that branch of the Bill which referred to the adminis tration of justice in the appells . ce tribunal of the Ju iicial C immittee of the Privy Council. The first quegiou to be caretully considered wad whether the quorum ought to be reduced , rum four judges to three. His opinion was that tour was the bast number, and the experience of Westminster-hall was atm gly and clearly in faveur of four judges in preference to three. Toe reason wss, that on all occwitons of dtff r , nee yon had the greet authority of a tnlj rity of three to one in favour of the judgtntnt of the Court, and it such a maj rit) Wkl% ('Sietitial to the courts of the first instance, hoA much more necessary it was to give effect to the deci eiens of an appellate jurisdiction, decieing in the last re sort the meat important questions, aid which decteions nothing short of an Act of Parliament could over urn. He agreed in the propiiety of a change in the presi dency of this b .dy. The president of such a body should be answerable for the regulatien of the procee d ings, fir the attendance of the members of the court, and the- distribution of its business, duties which a lay pre sid-ut could not well undertake. Tne propriety of ap pointing such a president was admitted 18 years age, when it was proposed by him. It it were said that there was some iteconvenierm • in four judees being eqaella divided in opinion, he had only to reply that duri n g ihe lest 18 sears the judges had only divided two and two upon one occasion, and the incouvenience was ea-sly re moved by calling in one teller member. dhe appoint ment of a vice-president of the court had been recom mended, and he thought well of it. There were other parts of the Bill of which he approved, and he re ' garded the measure altogether as a step—not a grew or a long step, but still a step—in the right di rection. He ought to add that one want still remained to be supplied. No provision was made in this Bill to supply another very ma terial defect in the appelette jurisdiction, in Cis, s whicn rarely occurred, but which had occurred, and which were likely to be of more frequent occurrence, namely, cases involving spiritual questions of a highly imeortaut nature, of an exceedingly difficult nature, and which very often, with reverence be it spoken, were of an exceed ingly obscure nature. They of the Judicial Committee were admirably adapted to deal with the common law, with questions of colonial law, with cases from the Cou sistorial Court, and embracing the learning of the civil law. It was a tribunal well adapted to deal with ques tions of evidence, whether that which was deservii i of the name, the evidence taken at common law, or that which passed under the name, which was taken, or which appeared to be taken, in courts of another descrip• time. But with regard to those other matters which his Noble Friend the Lord High Commissioner of the Ge neral Assembly of the Church of .ecte land, who d sred to hold au ep;scopelien conversation during the non-sitting of the sesaiou—(Lord Belhaven was at this moment conversing with a Right Rev. Prelate)—weuld admit were spiritually diffi ul' questi ns, the Judicial Com mittee had a confused authority, and his brethren had auth,brised ham to confess that with those subjects they felt themselves wholly unfitted to deal. Upon this class of subjects they deeiderelee control. Th• y did not wan, to he dictated to. but they wished to have what it was right they eheuld have, tie aid, the ins stiatble nvfit of the assistance of leer•e•l men in that brench of the law. Th. , present measure, then, was a step—but not a stride, not a loug step—in the right direc tt- ; but if any man thought that this or any other striae , turat alteration in the Court of Chancery—if any man dreamed that such a measure !ale the axe to the root of the greetest and most grievous of the mauy crying evils thet eflileted the subjects of this ceuutry, net the judges or the practitioners, but the unhappy suitors ef the court, altheugh he attinitt , sri that it would, nevertheless, do jusnice co the suitor, and enable him to obtain that which he had a right to obtain at a reasonable cost tit money, of trouble, and of time—if any dreamer, he rep wed, belie ve d thst any structural alteratien of the Court of Chancery would do all tenet was wanted, such a dreamer was in a tool's paradise, and eould a waken in the rnornieg to a sad reality that would belie all that he had homed in his slumbers. It would alarm their Lordships to hear the preoss that hart been bremeht before the Committee as to the state of things in all the courts of equ ty and in all the branches of those courts. Tneir L adahipe had victims amoug them selves, and he saw a Noble Friend of his who went into Chancery for a debt of 500/., and who had the misfits.- tune to deal with a somewhat insolvent party and his professional adviser. 1,2001 was the cost of obtainit.g that 5001. His Noble Friend had succeeded. and fe might believe him he ought to consider it very ohe -p.— (Rear, and a laugh.) At any rate, his Noble Frtehd would have been 7001. better off if he heed left alone his 5001 and made up his mind to its loss. But nineteen tw ntieths of the cases were not those of °attested debts for 5001., but cases where parties were perr•ctly ready to win I them up and arming• them tett bout going into the Court of Chancery. One case of infancy had lasted four years. The estate was of mo terate amount, the income being 155/. in stock. The infant was placed out, order"' were made, c insiderahle expenses were incurred, and 681. 4s. was the cost that the estate bad to pay in order to get the infant's own money laid out for the inifani's own use and benefie The deduc tion of 7ul. a-year from the income of the in• fent was incurred for orders of Court where there was ao contest or oiepute whatever.—(Hear, bear.) In another case, where a simple contract debt was claimed against the estate, costs amounting to 1,2001. or 1,5001. were incurred on one side, and, in all, costs to the amount of 3,0001. were incurred to recover 1,0001. In the case to which he alluded the suitor was a gentleman residing in India. In July, 1840, his case was before the Rolls; in 1851, when he came over to ask areter his cause, he was told it was still undecided, and that it was before the Rolls again, where he had left it 11 years ago. This gentleman was mon eover told that he had tour or five years more to wait. It might be expected that this gentleman would say that in India they had the cobra capella. the jungle fever, the tiger, and various other evils and dangers, but that at least they had not a court which he (Lord Brougham) dared not to haap laugh.) Toe taxing-twister, Mr. Follett, had a case be fore tam in which 901. costs were incu'red in deciding whether lot. shoule be laid out in repairing a necessary end c nuvenient part of a house. hut which he sh mid no more dare to niece to their Ler tahips than the c iurt. in s p ee i ere In Inc case a reference was msd , to the :thew for impertinence—that wise fur putting irrel- - ',Let and neinecestery matter mot an answer, and the \tearer head to inquire whether a number of documents mini non b (I se pot up en the answer. The case sees glaring and gross, and the master decided, e.f er heath's.' coins- I, who were not prolix—they were never preltz ut euly fill—that relief must he given to the aino , int rf 201. Inc' party thus d• mewl against ttplasled t i the V ce-C •ancellor, who agreed with the Ma-ter. Another appeal was wade, and the decision again affirmed, and xoeileee or geteng the, 201. struck off sm united to 800/. —(Hear. hear.) Bat the wrongdoer had to pay that? Ye., almost the wh,lc, but not quite the whole. Beare n 40( and 501. of :he se exoenses lie never r ceived. Ao that be would have been 30/ the riches• if ha hal , uncnittud to pay the 2 il., which the tesxing-tn..eteer decreed he ougnt not to p I; and this dispute lasted ter two or three years. In thee Day end Marin ease, which was par ly litigated an I peril) aninniestreiive, the vat u .. o f the estate was about 400 0004 lie h.d he s d that he bill of c arts in this case a•aounted to between 70,000/. and 90 Old —(ll,•ar. hear.) Now, wet, it possible. thet their L irdships c mold much long, r resist the conclust n at which the people of this country had arrived, that the ax , mast be laid to the root of this crying and unbearable evil, and that, to u-o the words of Led Chathain upon another subject—if they (lid not ref irm themselves, the people would come in upon them and reform them from without with a vengeance? H-- wished fur no rash and imprudent changes. He tied constantly maintained that to make rem• in wholesome it must be safe, and that reforms of the law, to bee safe, must be left in the hands of skilful and well-informed teen, without suff•ring the rule and the ignorant to in terfere. But in proportion as that reform wets deiaved w hich was wanted and, indeed, exigently required. 0 their Lordships should no Lougee do their duty in ad neinuiteritig relief where it might safely be) given, then he said that the result would be inevitaole, that the good would be swept away with the bad, and that (as he once before said), taevine the good and the bed swept away together, the jurisprudence and the judicature of the country would be put in a state and reduced to a condition of ruia such as to affird a sad spectacle of the vanity of human plans and the instability of institutions, and to supply a wholesome warning t e those who, from a tear of granting moderate and safe reform, exposed their Lordships to the dangers of a violent revoladon. —(Hear, hear.) Ile trusted that, instead of stopping at this measure, the other Houle would adopt the valua ble measures sent down from that Rouse, aad particu larly one of the most important meaeares that bad ever passed through Parliament—he meant the County Courts Extension Bill, to which might be aided the Law of Evidence Bill. If these Bills were adopted by the wisdom of the other House of Parliament, they would greatly diminish the evils of the present system. To those measures might be added a reform to which the public mind was beginning to be directed, and which had the sanction of home of the most learned men, via., the adoption, as far as possible, of the com bination of the two systems of equity and law, by what what was called, after the experience elsewhere obtained of its working, " the fusion of the two branches of the system." He hoped that those who were younger would have the happiness of seeing this among others of the greatest improvements in jurisprudence adopted, so that they might at length say that a real and effectual pro• greys had been made tewards the amendment of the law. Nothing, should have tempted him te take so unusual and unprecedented a course ns to address their L erd • Alps on the motion that this Bill be read a first tunes hut that during the lieffive or six weske he had with with the utmost diffieul y, and against the opinicns of hi. medical advisers, attend e d th e serv i ce ef :heir Lord • ship.'

It was with great pain that he was compelled to withdraw himself from their Ltorthiliipa i Rouse, when he considered diet the been done with regard to the Yut , j,iub booty. The usual course was to memorialize the Cuurt of Directors tar the iis , ribution of the booty. Lord BROM.; ELTON said that was precisely the course which had been adopted. HORFIELI) SI.ANOR ESTATE. The Bishop of OXFORD moved that copies of the correspondence touching the Horfield Manor Estate be tween the Copy hold Cowtaiasioners and the Eccle aiaetical Commissiocere, be laid on the table. He moved for these papers on behalf of an absent orother, who had, as he believed, been most grievously misrepresented in regard to this matter'. He should assume that every misstatement which had been made nad been accidental, and that the parties making them had been actuated by the purest motives. It had been charged that his Right Rev. Friend, when he had succeeded to the diocese of Bristol, was morally and equitably bound to deal differently with the maaor of Hertield from any other part of the property of his diocese, that he had sought to make a oargain with the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, a bargain which had been prevented by the intervention of a Mem ber of the other House of Parliament. Now, he would show that the Bishop of Gloucester received the estate of Horfield manor upon precisely the same conditions on which he received every other portion of the property of the see of Bristol. He had done with that property what the Legislature intended he should do with every portion of the property of the see. He had entered into negotiations with the Commissioners for the purpose of carrying out some singularly liberal views with respect to the Church to which he belonged. The Right Rev. Prelate had taken such steps as he thought best calcu lated to forward those views, but he would not now state what they were, lest it might be supposed he had been forced by the clamour which had been so unjustly raised against him, and not by his own free will. The state• (tient against him was, first, that because his predeces sors bad refused to renew the lease in order that the , state might tall into the Church, his Right Rev. FrieA and itiflieted injury by dicing so.. For his pare he (i.he rieshop of Oxtord) never knew a case in which every cep of the preceeoings had seen so end', 1, misrepre sented, and in which irut'i had been so mixed up with falsetioeit. Now one predecessor of his Right Rev. Friend, namely, Biehup Grey, had been negotiating with .ne lessee for a new lease when he died. It heel been alleged that Bishop Allan, the next in succession, 'lad given a pledge to Lord Melbourne that he eould net renew; yet the feet was that Lord 'Kilbourne had let it entirely in his own di.cre. ton, and he, too, bad been about renewing when he was transferred to the see of Ely. 1.. the ..:omanttee on Ecclesiastical Leases tt hal been proved that such tenures as that of Ilecfleid were very injurious, In 1842 it had been tutu-ure d that, the biship was at.. ut . 0 r e new, and that le cons , queuce some c •rrespiniderice clad taken place between nen wed the Extesiastical . l eimmiesioners. Y..) such c oirev,,cdenee. ialtheugt. +erne of it had been quoted, had ever taken place.— (Hear.) In 1847, when some new scheme bad been -vaned by the Commissioners as to the charges which ought to be levied on certain seese it had been though t that the united oiocese of Gloucester and Bristol ou g ht to bear a larger charge; and it was intended to add the Horfield Manor estate to the episcopal twirl, after the present bishop should be removed. Tu that he had ob • jected as being unjust to his successor, and some negu iations took place between him end tee commissioners, with the view of entering upon sone ar rangement relative to the property. Toe be-hop had considered that the peculiar holding of that esta e wos a most injurious tenure to the Church, inasmuch as it prevented the possibility of improvement. He had never intended to renew the lease on the same terms upon which it had been originally granted, but never enter tained the idea of not granting some kind of a lease Che Right Reverend Prelate here referred to and read some extracts from letters from the Bishop ef Gloucester to the Commissioners, in which his heo stated that be treated the imputation of renewing the tease "as heretofore" esith con empt. Another accusa tion was that in 1848 the Ecclesiastical Commissioners having desired their secreteret to remind the bishop of els moral obligation not to renew the lease, the bishop answered that he knew nothing of any moral übligat ou on the subject, but that he had a legal right, which he would not alienate except for 11,5004 Now not oely was no letter of the kind alluded to written by the secre tary, but the bishop himself, in February, 1848, opened a negotiation with the Commissioners, and offered to part with his interest to them. That proposal was re ferred to a Select Committee, of which Sir J. Graham was the chairman. They entertained the proposal, and a communication was made to the bishop announcing to him that the proposal had been laid before the Finance Committee, and that they had expressed an opinion of the liberality of the offer.—(Hear.) The negotiation went on. It had been asserted that the Commissioners endeavoured privately to transfer the estate to themselves, but that when the deed of transfer had been transmitted the solicitor refused to be party to the affair. The fact was that the Comm issione rs having satisfied themselves bishop act differently nor moral re straint there on with- the Horfield that er t w h a e s estate from the Otter estates of his see, consultee one of the most eminent cenveyancers as to the best mode of transmitting it, who gave an opinion that the preper way of transmitting it was roe by deed, but by order it. Cowl cil.—(Eiear.) Such an order was drawn up, and sent. as ,s usual in such cases, fur the approval of the law offi 'era of the Crown, who at th- end of the month returned A with the answer that there were leg .1 tittli,ailties iu L',l4 , seal, in cceisecrience. of the e mu , 0 p ,wer giv a by ne Act of passing such au eerd, r. U. that ground atene :as t he order it C teicil set aside._(Hear.) ,a a ,, t he m itter inight be us srep.. s cited, the eiati p called ou the Cominteti tiers tu express their pin ten en he •uoject; acid .at a ne etteg of the board, at wni :h the Arehbi,h-p of Cant , tours was present as clairinati, a resolutiou was drawn up eild agreed to, to the (-fie t chat the bishop h a ving bee. , under no obigetion, l-gal or otherwise, tee deal , sith the Harti.lit estate Atte-eatty from any es. h.-r estate of hie see, and having ur,ad , with regard to it a 'nest liberal sees r, the heard tea . been anxious to ay.iid all ueedlese delay in bringin4 .he neg , tiation to a close. The remaining chars, , was !hat , )n the droppleg of the last life the bishop had reo.-w d the :case in a way in vro,cri h., had selit kis woule never do. Now if his Right Rev, Friend had evaded the law, by telling it to a accord party, in a way to allow nee .o eeenstorm it into a lease fur three lives, the,e he would (lave done the thing with which he nad nee . charged; but. to prevent that, he had put the name of his secre tary in the lease, retaining in his own heeds f ill p ewer to carry on those improvements which from the first it nad been his object to etre-et, and had already I aid out a !ergo sum in enfranchising the oopyhold. In erd, r avoid any reproach of grasping at income, he gave up his legal claim to what he held in commendam to an amount equal to what he retained. (fi .er.) Oe this point is had been remarked that what be held in corn mendam was only for his own life, and that it would ea t benefit his children to the same extent as the renewal if the lease. The terms which his R.ght Res , Friend had stipulated for in his negotiation with the Commt,- sioners was 11,5001., and he had accidently learn-el the way in which he proposed to apply that amount. It appeared that he had engaged to advance a sum of 5,000/. for the erection of a college at Wistol, provided it were repaid to his children. Circumeances oc curred which rendered it problematical whether his children would receive it, and in cites they die not h proposed that of the 11 5001. the sum of 5,0001. should go to his family, and 6 soul. to endow small livings in •he diocese of Bristol.—(dear.) Such was the answer he had to make to the charges brought against his Right Rev Friend. In a letter which his Right Rev. Friend had written to him he stated that under present circum stances he should not enter upon any promise or engage ment with respect to his particular views and intentions on this subject. " These, said his Right Rev. Friend, " must be inferred from what I have already don.. Spectenturogendo. True, I have ulterior views; but I will not at present make any engagement with regard to them; for if I were to do so it would be attributed to fear of him who, per fas et nefas, is determined to de stroy my character."—(Hear.) His Right Rev. Friend had, without fear or favour, won his way to an eminent station in the national Church, and had left this coun try sick in body, depressed in spirit; and he was sure any expression of their Lordships' sympathy would be dear to him under these unexampled misrepresentations. The Bishop of LONDON said the Bishop of Glouces ter had been his intimate friend for 45 years, and he could assure their Lordships that the interests of the Church might safely be left in his hands. Lord CAMPBELL bore testimony to the character ..f the Right Rev. Prelate, as being that of a kind heart-d and generous man, and added that it had been demonstrated that there was not the smallest pretence f.r saying that he held Horfield in a different maiiner from any other estate of his tee. He believed tl , e Bishop of Gloucester had consecrated more chuiche within his diocese since he had been appointed to it than had been consecrated within it since the Reformation up to his time. 'Fee. Earl of HARROW BY bore testimony to 'he c..r rectness it the slate meet ..f the Right Rev.

TFBTIMONTAL TO ItIS GRACE Ttilit DUKE OF RICHMOND —The great exertions to procure a distribution of medals to the surviving heroes of the Peninsular, &c., wars, made by his Grace the Duke of Richmond, have in duced a subscription for a testimonial, which has been pre sented to the N,.ble Ito e. The whole, a most admirable work of art, has been completed by Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, and is of massive silver. The design exhibits a qua drangular pedestal, on the summit of which is an allegorical group representing the Duke directing the attention of Bri tannia to the merits of her military and naval powers. The Duke Is in the costume of a peer of the realm, having in his left hand the memorial to her Majesty while with his right he directs the attention of Britannia to the figure of Mars and Neptune. In the hands of Britannia is the war medal which she is about to distribute. At the angles of the p,des tal are grouped military and naval trophies, between which are panels containing, first, an appropriate in cription; second, the interview of his Grace with her Majesty in relief, his Royal Highness Prince Albert standing on the left of her Majesty ; third a , d fourth, the names of the engagements in which the troops wee engaged to whom medals have been given. On the base are four groups, viz , two military. the first conisting of a Light Dragoon dismounted, Light Infantryman, a Riflleman, a British Grenadier, and a Hussar mounted; the second of a Royal Eloise Artillery-man mounted, Foot Artillery soldier of the line, a Highlander, and a heavy Dragoon dismounted; two naval, consisting of marines, sailors, and boys. The at titudes selected in these composi ions are those of applause for the action of the Duke pourtrayed on the summit Be tween each group are panels containing the arms, and the lower base is empanelled with two military and two naval subjects, viz., the Battles of Vitt_ria and (Mlles ; and those of the Nile and Trafalgar, which are placed at the appropriate groups.

Vexed at this, I resolved to try the experiment of bending down the branches, so as to check the flow of the sap, and cause them to form fruit buds instead of wood buds. Accordingly, the first week of December, 1847, I filled my pockets with s t ou t twine ; I drove down some pegs into the ground underneath my trees (which had branched low so as to make dwarfish heads); I then tied a string to the end of every long shoot, and gradually bringing down the end of the limb till it curved down so as to make a considerable bend or bow, I fastened it in that position, either by tying the other end of the string to the peg, or to another branch or a part of the trunk. Accordingly, to my expectation, the tree next year changed its habit of growth, and set an abundance of fruit- buds. Since that I have had plenti ful fruit crops without trouble—ta4ing good care not to let many branches grow on the upright system.—Horticulturist. YoRR.

The LORD CHANCELLOR was extremely glad to ANNUAL GRANTS TO DUBLTN HOSPIrALS. find that the Bill now on their Lordships' table met with On the vestion for going into Committee of SupPli the approbation of the Noble and Learned Lord. He on the Miscellaneous Estimates, would not follow the Noble and Learned through the Mr. REYNOLDS moved that, considering the public statements he had made on other important matters, be- importance of maintaining as national institutions the cause the present was not quite the proper occa.ion for very valuable schools or medicine in Ireland, which hen doing so; but he wished to observe, that as he was &Hied their chief efficiency from the instruction afforded aware of the many defects in the Court over which he by the Dublin hospitals, to the support of which tor * presided—defects which were the growth of time, and long series of years Parliament has contributed, it was which had existed during the period when his Noble unjust eel impo!itic to reduce the amount of the annual and Learned Friend and others had held the great seal giant which was allowed in 1848 and the preceding years —ematedietely upon his entering upon the duties of his to those hospitals. The Government had come to present office a s.l-cien w s made of gentlemen among the House year after year to move that toe most it formed at the Chanc ry fa , the most alive these grants should be diminished 10 per cent. to ttae d fects in the Court. and the meat fitted to suggegt annually, and all they rested their justification upon ill a remedy; and those gentlemen were called upon to act adopting this course was the evidence of a Seotchmen te as a commission to rev:ew the whole system of Chancery joicing in the name of Drummond Chisholm. This person practice. They had si,ce been most diligently em- was attached to the office of the Chief Secretary for Ire• p loyed, and his Noble and Learned Friend bets g aware land, but had betrayed his trust, and robbed the charities of the character and ability of those gentlemen would under his charge. He was now a fugitive in America, dotibtle-e &rive considerable comfort from the confi- his name having appeared in the flue and Cry of both dente he must enlertain, that an inquiry conducted by such countries, and the Government having offered a reward gentlemen must be followed by some effective measure for his apprehension. Yet it was upon the unsupported of reformation There was already a report on the evidence of such a character that the charitable institn .elele from the commission, Which had reviewed the tions of Dublin were to be destroyed by the withdrawal whole proceedings at c moron law, find a Bill, which he hiiped to present to their Lordships before the close of the was being prepsred from the materials of that rep rt. It was not I.kely that a report from the Chancery Commission could be so f,r advaticed as to allow of a similar step being taken with respect to it in the present session, but it would no tar as it might re, ceive their Lordships' approba - ton. be most caretully carried into of et. Tne an Learned L ird's sug gestions with resret to the present Billl would is-c , ive the most careful attention. They hsd principal telereinc , o the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council; but the present Bill addre'aed itself to the remely of a particu lar evil, namely, to prevent the recurrence of the incon venience whi&'h was felt to arise last year from the ab- seem) of several of the Learned Judges in the courts of eculity in consequence of illness. It did iiot profess to go turth-r, because, as the Commission to which he ha alluded was in ac!usl operation it was thought better to wait for the report with a view of then applying a ge nem' r‘qui-iily for existing d-fects. Considering that the Noble and Learned L.ird had presided over a court such ss he had de, , cribed, the details which be had given cer .ainly entitled him to great sy aspa,thy. Lord BROUGHAM. said that he had endeavoured to apply as much remedy as he could to tho defects which were justly complained of. He should like to know when steps would be taken to turn to public account the criminal law digest. L. was thirtveu months since that he received a letter from the Chancellor of the Ruche- quer, stating that no time would be lost iu doing so. Were proceedings in respect to that to be conducted with the same snail-like pace as business in the court to which he had just directed their Lordships' attention? The Bill was then read a first time The Duke or RICHMOND presented thirty five pe of these grants. Though he (Mt. Itey - noldr) wished to save Dublin from this infliction, be had no hope of sue. , cegs, sealog the total disr.gard which was paid to Irish Mernhers in that House when they brought forward .1 1 } j-ct relating to the welfare of Ireland. What cli.,nce bad he under these circuit siances of pleading tie cause of the wretched and unl r t clad pau Jets vho w•re sick within the walls of there ho.pita6? If ever Irish M, mbers were unanimous u,.on and queslion kkff cong Ireland they were unanimous upon this. This► very day he hnd had the ho' 'lour of forming a portion of a deputation that waited upon the Prime Minister against the with• drove' or diminution of these grants, the address which was pr.acnt , ,i to his Lordship, was signed by Lto tess than tiinety-f'our Lich Members of Parliament , and twelve English Members who were coo' nected by property with that country—in all 10 6 mber-; and a4l the Prime Minister did was to drily re:er them to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, wbo, he said, would state in the House what he intended uo Even that promise was Lot kept, bemuse the Chanc.llor of the Exchequer peremptorily refused to st.te what his real int utions were on the subject. The Richmond and Hardwick Hospitals certainly had been spared from the consideration that they were schools of medicine'., but in truth that was the case with all the hospitals, and the same excuse might have been urged fur teem. This was one of the evils which had been produced by the unfortunate Act of Union, which 'Pious frotn parishes in Essex against, as the Noble Duke described it, that most iniquitous law, the present corn law, the present navigation law, and the currency , law; »1,0 petitions from Eigin and another place in Scotland against Paps! aggression, and a petition against any all tor thy of religious tests. The Burgesses Iva! Fr eetneu's Parliamentary Fran chise Bill went through Committee. The Attorneys and Solicitors Regulation Act Amend ment Bill and the Representative Peers for Scotland Bill were severally reported. The General Board ut Health Bill was read a second time. Lod MON I'EAGLE gave net'ee that on a future stage of this Bid he wuuld put, a que,tiott to the Earl of Shaftesbury with reference to the condition in which the Has left in regard to iuti- rmenis. 'rile Lodging-Houses Bill was read a third time and passed. The Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction Bill, the Highway- Rates Bill, tad the L+e Societies Bill were severally real a seciaid time. The Earl of SEIAF VE.iIiURY gave notice that en Friday he would m. , ve for a copy of the report mail? b) Mr. Grainger on the .aeitary state of certain parts if the tnetr'Pelty, and at the same lime call the ettevtion of the House to that report, wits the view of showing that un less some remedy were speedily applied there was reason to fear a recurrence of the cholera. Their Lordships thou adjourned. , had peculiarly dues.ged the city of Dublin. Sir L. O'LlitIEN seconded the motion. He felt bitn• self imp r.Attvely called upon to speak in support of the en-tion, I:),-caue he represented the feeling* and the opi nions of the majoriity of the Irish repreaeutativea on di'. subject. The h oTitals of Dublin were school/ - medicine, standing very high in the es: amation - of the profession; they were furnished with lecturers and museums necessary for complet: ine the medical •educetien ce: a large number et stuf'ents, but if this grant were withdrawn the lectures aould have to be curtailed, and the mu rums altogether abolished. The ad vautegea which these schoels con" erred upon society were incalculable, and he did este neatly appeal to both sides of the 'Luse not to allow heir effic,cy to be lestroyed in the manner proposed by the Gevernmeret. The C II ANCEL LOR of the EXCHEQUER thought this discussion ought to have beee brought on in Core' !settee, but as th!tee who proposed it had not pursued that eourse, he had no alternative but to state now why ha should object to the proposal. Only five of these in" stitutiens received aid from the Irish Parliament, while at the pre-ent time no less than thirteen were annudly in the retieipt of Parliamentary grants. as was therefore at a lees to understand how it could be eonfeedsd that the Dublin hospitals were worse off now than tht , y were prior to the Union, unless it was that they rec-ivel less teappott from the public of a voluntary chars! ter. Mr. E B. ROCHE said the Right Hon. Gentleman had urged a strange reason against this motion. Be would not all iw the grant because it was not original made by the Irish Parliament. He contended that this of all others eas not the time to withdraw the grant. With Ireland almost in a state of ruin, e hat power had her people to support hospitals win voluntary contributions? None whatever; and be hoped the novae would pause before it perpetrated the iejusfice of withdrawing this grant. Mr. GROG AN admitted that similar grants were • not made to hospitals in this country, but they he a d received foundations upon highly favourable terms which was equivalent to a grant, and therefore, in order that the io.titutions of the tw-t countries should remain on the same foeene. his grant ought not to be withheld. Mr. V. SKI e_ 1-1 _, having presided Over the Committee which bad teepee-el into ails question, must say that hi. Right Hon. Friend the Chancellor ef the Exchequer , in the course which he had proposed, war cerryiog out the views of that - Ceinmittee—views which had been Sounded upon the evidence that came boor, them. Be could tee nothing in the condition of Irela , d, as regarded those institution., so different from this country and i Scotland as to induce them to ath i p t th e course propos ed by the Irish Members. Mr. S. HERBER r admitted that the giving of an' nual grants to such institutions wee, generally speaking► detenceless, but the que-tion was, whether in the pre' sent case there ought not to be au exception to th e general rule ? They should recollect that the eiroula', stances of Ireland were very different from those 01 England, inasmuch as there was no law of settleuaeet or power of removal there as there was in England. M fever appeared to be the national disease of Ireland, be hoped that the Chancellor ot the Exchequer would take the case of (he fever hospitals into his consideration. le place of making a- final withdrawal of the grants Wel these establishments, he hoped that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would think it advisable to make one war ptete grant, amounting to about ten or twelve paid purchase, for toe support of these institutions, and thee ge t rid of the evil that neerasarily arises from cemiag annually to Parliament for these sums of money. Colonel DUNNE characterised this as but a speCl' men of the justice that was generally meted out to Ire land by the British Gevernment. Nothing could be wore unfair or unjust than to withdraw these grante from the hospitals in Dublin, which they knew i$ would be impossible to supply by voluntary contribw: Lions in the present miserable and oft rburdeued sleeting that country. Mr. REYNOLDS said, under the advice of his friends he would not trouble the House by dividing. He would, however, reserve to himself the right of again brinsing the question before the House on the next favourable opportunity.
