The charity was a house, ) and ; ' It evhought desirable 'avert the proceeds in the public funds. It was impossible to do that, without an appli cation to the Court of Chancery. The application was made. A bill was filled, and referred, of course, to the Master, to ascertain whether the sale would be benefi cial to the charity. The Master repotted in favour of the sale, which took place, and the proceeds were in• vested in the funds. What was the cost of those pros ceedings ? As he had said, the value of the property was 48/. a year, and the costs of the application amounted to 3001 or six years' income of the charity. There were numerous cases of that description. There was the case of a charity in Essex, which realised 601 per annum, and this property was let on lease. Some parties ques tioned the propriety of that lease, and an information was filed for the purpose of setting it aside. The pro ceedings were commenced in the Court of Chancery and occupied a considerable period of time. At length both parties beeame tired of litigation, and the result was, that the information was abandoned on condition that the parties proving the information should pay their costs The costs of thosq proceedings amounted to 650/ I would be seen therefore that in such cases as them the Court of Chancery was ineffectual, and the conic quence was, that many of the charities were entirely lost There were 13,000 charities in this kingdom whose in. dividual amount was less than 5/. a year ; there were 18,000 which did not exceed 101. g year ; and there were 21,000 nos exceeding 20/. a year. For the control of these the Court of Chancery was wholly inapplicable. In his opinion the interposition of that tribunal was in sufficient for any charity under 50/. a year, and there were no less than 25,000 charities of that nature in the kingdom, over which there was no judicial control, and no practical means of their being preserved to those who by the bounty of others were entitled to them. The principle he recognised in this Bill was that recommended by the Commission appointed under the Lower House to report upon the subject. He proposed to create a tribunal com posed of three Commissioners, invested with a power of adjudication, absolutely summary; that power should extend over all charities under 201. a year, although, as he had before observed, in his opinion, 50/. would be the preferable amount. As to the limits of their authority, they should, in the first place, be empowered to call on trustees to render an account of the trust com mitted to their guardianship. Secondly, of appointing new trustees, of effecting sales, of exchanging and granting leases, and, in fact, possessed of all those powers vested in the Court of Chancery. Such should be their jurisdiction in cases of small charities, unlimited and summary; but he proposed to extend their powers to other large amounts. They should be authorised to call on the trustees of such important charities to fur nish returns elucidatory of the nature and due discharg(i of the trust, but with no power to rectify what they might consider an abuse. One part of the Bill related to the directions of municipal ebarities. When the municipal Bill was passed, it had been apprehended that such rights would have been dangerously interfered with. Corporate bodies were then invested with the trust pro tempore, and, on the non•interposition of Parliament, trustees were selected ; and, but for the expense attend ing it, no better course could be adopted. But when he remembered that in the case of the Shrewsbury trust 550/ was paid out of the charity for the appointment of trustees, in the Salisbury charity 4081., in the Exeter 600/, and in the Hereford 7501, solely as tax costs for supplying the vacancies of trustees, he did think that a measure was imperatively called for to rectify the abuse, especially when two or three persons, in as many hours, could settle the subject, without all that intricacy of machinery and consequent expense.—(Hear, hear.) The Commissioners would hold their office contingent on their good behaviour ; they would, on appointment, take an oath of the due discharge of their duties, and, in fact, would hold their office by the same tenure as the judges. Wholly independent of the Crown they would be less open to political suspi cion. The Masters in Chancery at present performed these duties, but they were appointed by the Minister of the Crown, by whom their decisions could be set aside.- Undue influence was much more likely, therefore, to be suspected, he did not say justly, under the present than the proposed system. The first appointment he proposed to leave to the decision of the Committee on the Bill : he should, when it was in that stage, name individuals for the post, and it would be for the House to sanction and adopt their nomination. As to the means by which this new-created tribunal was to be paid, three modes sug gested themselves to his mind, either, first, that the ne cessary sum should be taken out of the Consolidated Fund, or, secondly, out of a small per centage on the charities, or, thirdly, by a union of those two methods. For himself, he was inclined to suggest that one per cent. should be levied on the charities, and if that (contrary to his anticipations) were not found sufficient, the remainder should be taken out of the Consolidated Fund. However, as that must depend on the will and pleasure of the house below, he would not dwell upon it then. The principle of the Bill was to supply the last defects in the administration of justice as regarded small charities. Other propositions had been engrafted in the Bill, all tending to a saving of enormous expense, and the remedy of palpable abuses.--(Elear, hear.) Lard BROUGHAM did not rise to make any length ened observations on the measure so ably introduced by his Learned Friend on the Woolsack ; but having an experience of thirty years in the entire subject, in all its bearings and its most minute details, be had had occasion to see the working of :the pre sent and the importance of the proposed system. The manner in which he intended to appoint the trus tees would remove any supposition that there would be a wrong appropriation of the funds, and a fair distribu tion of the funds would result to all the charitable insti tutions of the country. He would agree with his Noble Friend as regarded the general principles of the measure he had brought forward, but he believed that the Court of Chancery was not the best constituted authority for removing abuses in small charities, as it was ridiculous to suppose that 2001. or 300/. could be spent in regulating the proper distribution of charities of an amount not ex ceeding 10/. per annum. The Bill provided for the re newal of trustees when the trusteeships were vacant, and that was a most important point. For often great diffi culties arose from the vacancy of that responsible office.—(Hear, , hear.) No respectable parties would have any objection to a full inquiry into the receipts and disbursements of the charities the funds of which they distributed. It was inconsistent with the possibility of belief that there could he any thing wrong in the management of those funds, when those who held them courted inspection and the fullest inquiry. He thought that these inquiries, under such circumstances, should not be made ; for they resulted, more frequently than not, merely from the desire of gra tifying an idle curiosity. It was for Noble Lords to consider, first, the constitution of the tribunal, and then the expense of it. The constitution of the tribunal was all in all, and his Noble and Learned Friend had stated his opinion on this head in a most lucid manner. He had, however, some doubts about the conveyance of trusts in a similar manner to that adopted in the management of corporations. The appointment of such a tribunal as that suggested by his Noble and Learned Friend did not coincide altoge ther with his opinion. It would not do to bring the su pervision of the appointment of trustees-immediately under the authority of Masters in Chancery. One rea son for giving them those powers was stated to be, that from the nature of the high offices they held in the judi cial administration they were not exposed to any poli tical influences, but he considered that they might be liable to be biassed in their selections in an indirect manner. Much, in his opinion, remained to be ar• ranged as to the constitution of the trustees. The mea sure generally met with his entire approbation, and when some few alterations which he had suggested should have been made, he had no doubt it would prove a most salutary one. He would, therefore, with great satisfac tion, give his; support to the second reading of the Bill, reserving however to himself the right of opposing the details at a future period. He should like very much to refer the Bill to a Select Committee to be appointed by their Lordships to arrange the executive part of the measure, as he thought it was most important that this should be attended to. Lord COTTENHAM said he thought the suggestions of his Noble and Learned Friend should be acted on. Lord LYNDHURST observed that he would take care that those suggestions were not lost sight of, and that they should meet with every attention. Lord COTTENHAM continued to say that Masters were at present appointed by the Court of Chancery, and he thought that they should continue to be ap pointed by it. In municipal charities trustees in many instances had been neglected to be appointed, and it was only when the charities had been brought into the Chancery Court that they had been appointed. In the present Bill the Court had not been given power to ap point trustees, and, therefore, he could not permit the Bill to pass. Tht jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery extended to municipal charities of all amounts, and it would be for the consideration of Parliament to decide whether it was advisable to restrict their power. Lord ASHBURTON stated that he wished that the petitions for alterations in the administration of charities that had been presented might be referred to the Committee. Lord LYNDHURST said they would be so referred, and that alterations provided for in this Bill had been intended for all charities, both large and small. Lord CAMPBELL said, he should protest against the power of the proposed Commissioners on the appoint ment of trustees in Municipal Charities. It was a sub ject of the greatest importance to the individuals who participated in those charities. The present source for appointing Commissioners rested with the Lord Chan cellor, and he would call in the assistance of one of the Masters in Chancery to make the selection; subject to the Lord Chancellor's approval. The only objection that had been made to this course had been the expense, and this was a serious objection. The three Commissioners contemplated to be appointed were by the Secretary of State. In the first instance they were to be named in the Bill and then they were to be appointed by the Se cretary of State. Now there were three Secretaries of State—one for the Home Department, another for the Foreign Department, and a third for the Colonies, who were all in a capacity to act one for the other, and were invested with equal powers. Any one of them might appoint any person he pleased, without responsibility, to be one of the Commissioners. The Commissioners, according to the provisions of the Bill, might go down to Liverpool or Warwick, or any other town, and appoint all the trustees as they might think fit. They might nominate them from the Tory side or from the Liberal side, giving a preponderance to one or the other, as the motive might be. The LORD CHANCELLOR—They have no power to remove trustees, but to supply vacancies. Lord CAMPBELL differed from his Noble and Learned Friend. It gave them absolute power to add to the number of trustees, so as to swamp the Tories on the one side, or vice versa. It was said that the Com missioners were sworn to exercise their duties honestly, and would be above doing a political job ; but could they have the same authority as that belonging to the Lord High Chancellor of England or the Masters of Chancery? Could they have the same deference shown towards them, or the same amount of confidence, that those high officers of the Crown possessed?

The railway department h ave not the informa ti o n ne cessary to enable them to m a k e the returns re l a tive to " the different sums per cent. di v i ded by t h e different Railway Companies authorised b y Act of P ar li a ment ;" and of " the sums paid per sh are on each ra il wa y a lready authorised by Act of Parliament ;" and they find that. in the absence of any power to call for the necessary offi cial returns, it would be impossible for them to obtain such authentic information upon the points specified, which relate exclusively to the internal affairs of the Rail way Companies, as they would feel justified in adopting in a return to Parliament. By order, this part of the Bill, and if a Member of the Committee, he should move the omission of those clauses ; and if that were not• successful, he should.,use his best efforts against it on the third reading. He thought the'Bill contained many salutary provisons, and he admitted that some good tribunal was required to take cognizance of such charities as those referred to, but he objected to the introduction of such a principle into the Bill as that trustees might be reduced or increased at the will of the Commissioners. The LORD CHANCELLOR explained that the ap pointments would not rest with the Secretary of State, but with the Lord Chancellor, and that care would be taken that none should be appointed as Commissioners but those of the highest standing. Lord ABINGER made a few observations in reference to the appointments made under Lord Cottenham. and to the effect that the appointments under the Crown should be above all suspicion. Lord COTTENIJAM defended the appointments made under him when Lord Chancellor. After a few words in explanation from Lord ABING ER, which were inaudible in the gallery, the Bill was read a second time. Their Lordships immediately afterwards adjourned, at a Quarter past Eight o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMOiVS, May 22. At Four o'clock, there nut being 40 Members presen the House adjourned.

IRONMASTER DISQUALIFIED. The adjourned meeting on this case took place yester day afternoon, and ended in a disqualification. The fol lowing is a copy of the decision It having been established by the evidence of the present Mr. Francis Marshall, that the nominations of Ironmaster for the Derby and St. Leger, though in his handwriting, were written by him as the amanuensis of his father, the late Francis Marshall, whom he never knew to writs a letter himself; and were intended by both parties to bei the nomination of the father, we are of opinion that they can only be considered the nominations of Mr. Marshall, senior, and are void by his death, ac cording to the law and practice of the turf.

The Viennese gave us the pas Rococo, the pas des fleurs, and the pas des Amours. Then we had Cerito and St. Leon in a pas from Les Ilouris, and then followed the Esmeralda, with- Carlotta Grisi, her first appearance for the season. The first glimpse that was caught of her, as she comes bounding on from the back of the stage, dancing to her tambou rine, was the signal for a burst of enthusiastic applaase. The fair Carlotta looked exceedingly well mid danced and acted excellently. La Truaada;ac was nevtr danced more beautifully than it was; last evening. But why should we dilate on this theme? Who Inas net seen, who has not admired—or if they have not teen, why. has not longed to see, to admire the Esmeralda of Car lotta Grisi ? The house was well and most fashionably attended, for, under the management of Mr. Lumley, Thursday is as fashionable a night as either Saturday or Tuesday. MADLLE. SOPHIE I)IILCI.;.EN , s ; CONCERT.—PIIINCES CONCERT-11.01Ms. This very talented child gave a concert at; above , rooms last evening ; and we are happy trl Say tho worn . was crowded. The Performances of :...opb;e Duleken are , really wonderful. As a youthful putaiAtc she is un rivalled. She is only ten years of age ; her little fingers • cannot yet reach an octave, and last evening she per , formed three pieces, one of them the fantasia from La Donna del Zayo, composed by ` l ".ut'berg for himself, and for the express purpose of enabling him to exhibit his own wonderful command over the instrument, with an e,se, a precision, and a power, which left nothing to be desired. On seeing that fairy form sitting at the pianoforte, we were almost tempted to ask whe ther it could be possible that such a chill could produce such effects. Whether " the eyes were made the fools of the other senses, or else worth all the rest." Made moiselle Mayer, the lady flutist, gave us a fantasia on the flute. The performance of this lady is really very wonderful—in the more level passages it is like the warbling of some sweet bird—her lower notes are parti cularly rich. In what may be called the " tricks" of flute playing, she has not the power of some of her male rivals, but what she wants in power is more than made up for in richness of tone and in exquisite expression and feeling. Staudigl and John Parry were also there. It is needless to add that they were encored in everything they sung. Mademoiselle Schloss gave us the opening scene of Der Freyschutz with exceeding power and great cor rectness, and Madame Blaes Meerti, in Mereadante's aria Della Donna di Caritea, was magnificent. Her fine rich deep contralto voice told superbly in this aria. Since the days of Pisaroni never has such a magnificent contralto been heard. She gave us, in the second part, Schubert's Baracarole ; and here, too, her 'deep, rich voice told admirably. We hope to have the pleasure of hearing Madame Blaes Meerti frequently during the course of the season. Hers is a voice of a quality so rich—of a compass so great —as to be a rarity in the musical world, and, what is not often the case with contraltos, her intonation is as pure as possible. We had, moroovcr, the Misses Villiams, Miss Galbraith, Signor Brizzi, and Handel Gear, among the vocal performers, besides Edward Meyer on the c l ar i onet , Gi ul i o Ilegond i on the ni exertedee rti na, a th n e d m A se t i l l o e lp s h t o o Simon ut o m n os t t h , e n. with raptur ous a ppl ause .
