Bil. „--- ACCIDENT FROM FIRE IRE DA MP.—We serrr to state that two men have been very much burnt barn yan explo sion of Fire Damp. at Dowlais mitie. It seems that the men ventured into a forbidden part of the mine, when the air being foul, exploded immediate y on comin g in contact with the fight. and thus occasioned the accident. Their object in going tier* was to procure :woe oily 4o etivtiope thtir Canirlaa. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC 3 FROM THE EVENIXO PAPERS OF 'ruts DAT. (From the Globe.) The meeting at Exeter Hall yesterday was a grati fying and imposing spectacle, well worthy of the grace ful presence and presidency of the consort of our Sovereign, and which would have been characteris but for one incident, by perfect unanimity. We allude of course to the unhandsome treatment of Mr. O'Connell by a noisy minority, and having alluded to it, we leave its discredit with those who cannot keep party feelings for places and occasions where their exhibition is at least not an insult to a Royal per sonage who has studiously kept aloof from all similar demonstrations, and an injury to a cause which has nothing to do with any party animosities. Turning, however, from what was pleasing and from abet was unpleasing in yesterday's proceedings, we I,e bound to inquire—How far were they practi cal ? And certainly, so far us they afford a demonstra tion of the sentiments of a great nation unanimous in support of its Government in any and every measure which affarda prospects ot checking the slave. trade—so tar, certainly, a meeting like yesterday's can not but have its affect. It would least of all be lost on such an acute and instructed observer as the present re pt., sentative in England of the greatest continental power—the power which, we cannot doubt, is destined to t...ke a part similar to our own in the abolition of slavery in her own colonies, and the suppression of the slave-trade universally. ( From theSlata Standar d .) The last night The debate in the House of d Lo eli cited some curious phenomena of the administratio n of justice in the Courts of Equity. It appears pretty plainly that the improvement in the despatch ot business bears no proportion to the inert-use in the number of Courts—as plainly that, notwithstaudin_ the complaints of Lord Eldon's slowness, which w, were accustomed to hear wnile that excellent man and utiequ died magistrate held the soals, very little dt pends upon the habits of the Judge. As respects the increase of Courts, ou- equity proceedings seem to obey a law very sunihr to that which governs the mo ion of projec tiles. Scientific men and practical ginner, know that the range of a nrssile is not extended iu the common, but in the subduplicate ratio of the force applied—zhus, if a force equivalent to four sends a ball 1000 yards. it will require a force equivalent to 16 to send the same ball 2,000 yards ; and so it seems is the case in the ad ministration of r (pity. We have now tour Judges in ( quity : less than 16 seem scarcely sufficient to get through the business of the country in hull the time now occupied by equity suits, and alter all, that would be no very great relief to the suitors, considering the all but infinite duration of these suits ( From the Courier.) _ _ _ The House of Lords was last night chiefly occupied with the Administration of Justice Bill, to which Lord trougharn strongly objected in a speech of great length. His chief objection appears to be the large addition of judicial force which the Bill proposes to be made for the ot present arrears, as well as to meet the increase of business which the Lnrd Cnancellor apprehends will be the result of a greater despatch of cases. We, how ever, do not exactly feel the force of the learned and eloquent Ex-Chancellor's objection, for it certainly does appear to us that if the suitors become so nu merous in any Court of Justice or Equity, that the present judicial establishment is unable to gave them the attention to which they are divided, and f or the despatch of which that establishment was instituted, it ought to be rendered equal to the proper discharge of this very important duty. With respect to the Court of Chancery, it the accumulation of its business cannot be despatched by the Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor, we venture to suggest that it might be well to inquire before iippoilit.ng one or more assistant Judges, whether a more economical means might not be tried by way of rxpi.ritnent.

The Bishop of EXETER gave notice that, on Fri day, the 10th inst., he should put a question to the Nob:e Viscount at the head of her Majesty's Govern ment, relative to an ordinance of the Governor-General of Canada for the incorporation and endowment of the Monks of the Monastery of San Surplice. Toe Duke of WELLINGTON presented a peti tion from a private individual at Ester against the Exeter Road Bill. Lord H ATHERTON presented a petition from certain Poor Law Guardians in the county of Stafford, expressing th e ir approbation of the Poor-law Amendment Act, and their acknow ledgment of the services they had received from the Coninessioners ; and suggestiiig seveaal provision s for insertion in the Amendment Bill no b: fore Parlia ment, which the-y prayed might be incorporated in it.

Earl FI TZ WILLIAM presented pet4lo ns fro m the town of Kinross, from luserm:ss, from the Wt slyan Methodists in Halifax, and from rJ,aces in Fife, Perth, and Cumberland, praying for an alteration in the Corn Laws. CLAIMS OF THE'BRITISH LEGION. • The Marquis of LONDONDERRY wished to ask the Noble Viscount opposite if there were any hopes that the negociations on the subject of the claims of the British Legion would be brought to a satisfactory and speedy termination. If the Noble Viscount could hold out to him such an expectation, he would pus pone the motion of which he had given notice of an address to her Majesty on the subject for Thursday next. Lord MELBOURNE said that the negociations were still going on, and he trusted they would be brought to a satisfactory conclusion. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY then said that he would postpone his motion from Thursday next till a later period. Lord RA YLE IG H presented peti•ions from Rip le gn % um! from urines plao-s in Essex. against al. ) eilvetation in the Coru.law•s. The Nub e Lord also pre. s:en►ed a petition from Essiex iu tuvour of Cburtm Ex. tension. CHURCH INTRUSION (SCOTLAND). The lltoquis of BREA DALBANE presented peti tions from various places in Scotland against the intrusion of Ministers in the Stottish Church. The Noble Ma. qtts proceeded to say that the I xeltetnent prevailing on that iuoject in Scotland was already so strong, as not to re wore that anything should be surd or (tone in the House or els-where, a hich could tend to aggravate :be feelings of the people of Soot.and. He should say that if that people, atiached as they were to all the principles of their Presbyterian Church, con sidered that by the decision of the Civil Judx.itore 01 he country their rights had been ii.fringed on, the ) would only conscientiously dischary their dut) in en&a vouring to obtain an alteration of the law. Tue pastor, of that Church would, in his opinion, have deserted their obligations, and wial not fulfil their duties, if they did not endeavour to maintatn the Ecclesiastical Juras .ticto of their Church wh4, they thought it had beet. assailed. Tne Marquis of ABERDEEN was at a loss to un derstand what was the meaning of the Noble Mar quis in the observations be had offered to the House. The No'ale Marquis had said that the people of &cro wn(' had a right to cad fur an alteration of the law vhich they complained of. Undoubtedly they had. —(Cries " Hear, hear.") But when the Noble Marquis had said that they were justified in co r planting of an entrenchment on their rights, and a violation of them, he (the Marquis of Brea!laibane) should say that no such violation had taken place. The law ut the land had been justly and equitably pronounced, mid the petition of Scotland could ocir. lawfully resist it. The hundreds of petitiJns which hal been presented against Crtureh intrusion, left it to the wisdom of Par liament to devise the means of effecting their objects I, my Lords (continued the Noble Earl), profess myself as favourable to Nen- Intrusion as any of those petitioners, hut then it is the Non•lntsusion sanctioned by the law and supported by the constitution of the Church, and eive me leave to say, that while the Church of Scot land is receiving the support of the State she must obey the law—as a Church of Christ she may exist without the law, but as a national Church, and maintained by the law, she must obey the law.--(Hear, hear.) The Noble Earl concluded by saying that he deterred any further discussion on the subject till the whole proceed ings of the General Assembly were before them. The Earl of CAM PERDOWN said he entirely (I.ffered trout the Noble Marquis who had presented these pAitions, and he must express his strong con. victi,n that the Church of Scotland was at present in direct opposition to the decree of the Courts of law to which she herself had appealed, and that no body of men in this empire ought to be allowed to bid defiance to the judicial authorities ; and he must also express his conviction —attached as he was to the Church of Satatland—:ho course she was now pursuing was calculated more than anything else to advance the v ews of those who were for a separation of Church and State, a consummation which he most earnestly deprecated. The Bill of the Noble Earl was mainly but a confirmation of the old law, and he deeply regretted the position in which the Assembly, opposio r that law, had placed themselves. Lord BRE ADAL BANE said the General Assembly could not justly be designated as rebels. Lord BROUGHAM said he quite felt the impro priety of continuing a conversation of this nature, but he rose to remark upon a word which had laden from his Noble Friend who liad .t ust sat do en. He had not uppity(' the term " rebel" to the Cnurch of Scotland, and in the present excited state of that minority, for minority ht believed them who were in opposition to the law ; ha could not dhow it to go forth that he had used such a term, and he must add that it was by no means true that the majority of the Church was opposed to the law-4 was only_the majority of the Asseinbly.—(Hear SULPiIUit TRADE. Lord LYNDHURST rose to call the a.tention of their Lordships to a subject of considerable import• atm., Titeir Lordships had no doubt read the paper which had been laid upon the table regardii.g Sulphur Monopoly in SAnly, and their Lordships wer. perhaps surprised to fins up mention of a copy of the treaty which had been negotiated at the close of the last year by Mr. Macgregor with the Sicilian Gocern• meat, and that no copies had been furnished of the cor tespondence between that gentlentin and the Secretary of State fur Foreign Affairs. At the time the Noble Viscount proposed to lay these papers on the table of the House, he stated that he should produce among them the copy of the treaty ; but he afterwards states, that he would not produce it, Lut he dit: m a assi g n an reason for that change in . ~ his mind ; an d h e (L ord Ly Itti iluhad thought it 1 . 13 duty to b r i ng the questio before rsl) the Huusc, in . ord?r th a t t h e N o b le Viscount might have an opportunt . ty of stat tng t o t h e i r L ordships the teasons for his change of det er min awn, and the groun d s in which he refused the product,on of the papers in q (6 FT SPUEING.) 110 USE OF COMMONS. The SPEAEEtttook the Chair at the usual hour. Mr. Aiderman THOMSON brought up the Report of the Committee on the New Zealand Bill. Mr. LA BOUC HERE would not oppose the Bill in its present stage, but he would reserve to himself the perteet right to do so on a future occasion, it he thought the public hovers required it. Mr. DIVE I 'l' moved the third reading of the Exeter Port Dues B 11. Mr. LABOUCHERE moved the omission of the 3isth clause, which exempted all.v, ssels belonging to freemen of Exeter from dues in that port. It was not a new principle, but was one often acted upon by the Board of Trade before—they were anxious to do away Kith such exclusive pri% ileges as far as possible, and took advantage of any parties appl3ing to Parliament tor further powers. Be considered it his duty to do so, bolding th e o ffi ce h e was entrusted w i th. He thoug h t tb 131,1 a very proper one;but be trusted the House would arty to his isaottvn,' Sir W. FOLLETT felt satisfied that when the House was in possession of the facts of the case they would not assent to the proposition of the Right Hon. Gentleman. The Town. Council of Exeter were entitled, by immemorial usage and prescription, to levy certain duties on all goods imported into the port of Exeter. The origin of that custom was so remote that it could not be traced. The freemen were the only par ties excepted from these duties, and that was the case not only in Exeter, but in other corporate towns. When the Municipal Bill wai before the House of Co moss, the rights and privileges of the freemen came under discussion, and it was decided that they should not be deprived of those rights which they enjoyed by prescription. That principle was sanctioned also by the other House of Parlia ment. He complained under these circumstances of the attempt that was now made to deprive the freemen of these privileges, and he hop d the House would not sanction the proposition of the Right Hon. Gent. The main object of the Bill was not the importation of any new duties, but the re-ad justment of those which the Corporation was already entitled to levy. He should, therefore, oppose the amendment of the Right Hon. Gent Mr. DI VETT supported the Bill in its present shape. Mr. LABOUCHERE slid, so far from these ex ceptions being of no injury to the commercial interest, there was no more fertile source of con plaint among them He felt it his duty to give the clause every op position in his power. Toe House then divided, when the numbers were— For the Bill For toe amendment M..jority The Bill w.ts then real a third time and piks.hl. Mr. G. PALMER brought up the Report on Mr. Austin's Rit,nts. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE p•esented a petition from Mr Austin complaining of the m toner izi which the BM, on the subject of these pAtents, bud b •en form ‘r .y committed. The Hon. Member moved that the BM should be recommitted. The motion was agreed to. On the motion of Mr. LOWTHER, the York Im provement Bill was re6d a third time. On the motion of Mr. E. TENNENT, the 13,Ifit.t Charitable Society Bill was read a third time and p,►ssk d. Mr. O'CONNOR. Mr. F. KELLY presented a petition in favour of Mr. F. O'Connor, complaining that he had beet' bUbjee' d to the mast cruel and unjustifi able privat;ons, and pray. ing that the House would institute an inquiry into the case. and afford redress. Mr. BYNG presented a petition from the Wh'te chapel Board of Guardians agoinst certain clau:ts in the Pocr-laws Amendment Act : the petition was ordered to be printed. Mr. C. lAIS I - 1 I N GTO N presented petition; from Finsbury, and other places, against Cnurch.roies and Church Extension. On the motion of Lord JAME S STUART the Report of the Committee on the Ardrossati and John s'one Railway Bill (with Amendments) was agrevi to. EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW RAILWAY, Tne Order of the Day for the further consideration of the Report of the Edinburgh and Glasgow Railw.ty Bill was then read and certain amendments were agreed to. NON-INTRUSION. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL presented a peti• tion from Esiinburgh, which was agreed to at a large public meeting held in that city on the subject of what was called Lord Ab .rdeen's Bill, relating to the disputes at present subs sting between the Civil and Ecclesiastical Courts in Scotland. The petitioners stated it to be their opinion that the proposed Btd was calculated to aggravate the evils it professed to remedy, that it would violate the consciences of many individuals, and would end by subverting the establishment, and praying the House not to consent to its passing into a law. Sir F. POLLOCK presented a petition from Hunt indon against any public support to the College of Maynooth.. - CHURCH EXTENSION. Sir ROBERT INGLIS gave notice that on Tues lay, the 16th of June, he should bring for ard a mo. :ion on the subject of Church Exten , mon. CHURCH. RATES. Mr. EASTHOPE postponed the motion of which he hail gi,en not ce for this evening, on the subj.'ct of reheving Dissenters from Church -rate= , , to Tu 's. day, the 16th of June. He also gave notice ttilt it was the intei,tion of his Honourab'© Friend the Member for Greenock, on the same evening, to C 3 I the attention of the House to the RTort of the S. lret Committee appointed to inquire rito the administration of justice in the Supreme Courts of Scotland, HILL COOLIES. Mr. MACKINNON postponed his motion relative to the exportation of Hill Coolies for a +ortnight. Mr. GODSON postponed the motion of which he had given notice for thi.i ev..ning to this day fortnight. Lord GRANVILLE SOMERSET, on behalf of the Hon. Mon.ber for Canterbury, gave notice that it was his intention to postpone the motion of which he had given notice for that evening v.) the 16th June, when he intended to propose it as an amendment to the Con stabulary' Bill.

Mr. FOX MAULE gave notice of his intention, on an ear.y day, to move fur leave to bring in a Bid to amend the" Prisons Act of last Session, as far as it related to Scotland. CANADA CLERGY RESERVES BILL. Mr. PAKINGTON said he observed w►th great surprise that the second reading of this Bill, brought ►n last night, was fixed for Thursday. Ho was sorry that the Noble Lord, the Secretary for the Colonies, was not in his place ; but perhaps some Member of the Go vernment would be able to inform him whetl►er the Bill would actually co.ne on so soon. Sir JA NI BS GRAHAM exclaimed—lmpossib!e! Mr. FOX M AULE said it was only fixed for Thursday in a hurry, but there was no intention of oringing ►t on ►hen. CHURCH EXTENSION. Mr. HAWES begge•l to ask the Hun. Baronet the Member for the University of Oxford, whether the ru mour was correct that he intended •to propose to the House a grant for Church Extrusion of no less tnan eight millions, being no less than an annual charge of 40,0001. ta,;on the nation.--(Laughter from tha Op position.) Sir ROBERT INGLIS said he hod expressed no such intention, and although he had hrard it was placarded about the town in his name, be had oo such iiiteniiiin.—(Hear, heir.) Mr. BAINES begged to ask the Hon. Baronet if the terms of his motion would be the same as those of nis former mot on S►r K. INGLIS slid hi could sate the exact terms of his ►notion as, a period nearer that when he should bring it on. MR. FEARGUS O'CONNOR. Mr. THOMAS DUNCOMBE begged to ask the Under-Secretary of State for the Home De partinent, whether any report had been received from :h e visiting Magistrates as to the present treatment of Mr. Feargus O'Connor, in York Castle. Mr. FOX MAULE said he had receaved such a report, and ho foui , d that cons.d:rable relaxation had taken phee in Mr. O'Connor's treatment. Mr. DUNCOMBE—D oes that extend to his diet ? Mr. FOX MAU LE—Y, s. Mr. AGLION BY asked if; along with the rogula 'ions o f t h e Visiting Magistrites, there woul d be laid u: fore th e H ouse an exact e. e taii of Mr. F. O'Connor's present treatment, which he understood to be precisely he same as before.—( Hear, hear.) Mr. Seigiquit TAU OU RD said he had r:ceived n letter trout Mr. O'Connor, stating that he was treated xactly in the same mariner asbefore. Mr. FOX MAULE was understood to reply, that precise information would be given on the tu hj , ct. Mr. SHAW —A s the Hon. Under Secretary is the only representative of the Government present, perhaps he can inform the House when it is probable that the Irish Registration Bill will be further proceeded in. Air. F. MAULE was Dot üble to answer the question. EMIGRATION. Mr. S. O'BRIEN then rose to move—" That i; was .not a question of an attractive nature, but it was one of very great importance to a nation like Great Britain, who possessed such vast colonios. He there fore trusted that he would be favoured with the atten tion of th e H ouse, not on h i s own acc ount, but o n ac count of th e i ntr i ns i c i mportance o f the question its e lf. He con s id ere d that the House coul d no t occ upy i ts time bette r t h an i n considering whether i t was i n t h e i r power to aff o rd Coloniesreliet . Lion, and so employ our shipp i ng an d create mar k ets for our prod uct i ons, in which we woul d h ave no r i va l s , and ' planting i ttoro the m distressed wh which we by means of ensign'. we mint derive many o f I the productions of th e eart h of which we stood in ne e d. I . . .. In comparing: th e trade of t h at country with Russia and their own colonies, he found that in 1830, the ex ports to Rtisbia from Great Britain and Ireland amounts to 1,633,143 E, the amount of the papulstion of Russia being 180 - 009,000. The amount of the exports to the Australian "4olonies in the same year was -1 336.000 while " - the popyl a th m uki no t exceed 110,000, He only adverted to that one point for the purpose of showing the improv,.ment that was daily taking place in their colonies, and he believed that in proportiot' as they wand be able to renmdy the.distrdii ttiltich existed at home by Means of ettonit ttion would they promote flit Fetnrlty, peace, and contentment of the people. —(Cries of " Hear, hear, hear.") He would now come to the two positions laid down in his resolutions— first, he contended that there frequently existed in that country sufferings among the poorer classes, or, in ether words, there was an excessive ',theft as Conip:Vced with the demand, There Might not be, as regarded Eng land, a great redundancy of the population generally, but in particular districts and and seasons and kind of employment there was an excess. For example, he would refer to the cast; of the band-loom weavers, whose destitution had already attracted so much public attention, Upon the whole ho thought they were compelled to infer that there must be a great amount of suffering in the English population, when they found that in 1838, after all the reductions that had taken piacc, in conse quence of the labours of the Poor-law Commi,- sioners, the whole amount of the poor•rates last year Amounted to no l ess a sum than 4,725,5661. He - was not prepared to make out a case for emigration by ex argerating the redundeney of the population of Eog No man left his home nithout the hopes of improving his cooditioo, :13(1 he thought therefOre, that they ought to have Assistance to enable them to improve then. condition. With regard to Scotland, in the Highlands there could be no doubt of the truth of the proposition advanced to the first resolu on he intended to propose. Ireland, however, wag chiefly interested in this question, and with re poet to that enu.ory, its felt convinced that he to e i not apptii to the humanity of Hon. Members. He mink app, al to self interest, aid he would say that i. the condition of th.! Irish labourer was not im proved, the genii rneo of England must he, content to see the condition of their own population reduced to the saw? level. LEFT SPEAKING. MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

Tne Earl of HA DDINGTON said the information he bad recces, d did not tally wi•h that of the Noble Mar quis, for h.. w .a informed the Bill was generally popular. Lord BROUGHAM said, that not having been present %she!' the Hilt of the N ,ble Earl was introduced, he should at present abstain from saying anything about it. Whether the people of Scotland thought with the petitioners in their ebjections to this Bill or trot he would not stop now to inquire or state, but of one thing he maintained the opi nions he held the last time he had the honour of addressing their Lordships on this subject, and that was that the opinions of the people of Scotland did not go along with those who had placed themselves in resistance to the 14w of the lend —( Hear, bear.) That law had been declared by the highest authority in the law --by their Lordships in their judicial capacity, and it there wet e any part ca in resistance to the Isae he said it w as not the people of Scotland, but those mi , guided indivi duals, or misguided bodice, who had thought fit to take that course—( Deer, hear, hear)—and when he was told of the collisions and conflicts on that subject, what were those conflicts and those collisions? They were such as there would ever be in every arse where a deci sion had been pronounced by the Legislature, namely, the conflict and collisions between that tribunal and the party against whom that tribunal pronounced judgment. Whether that party was an humble individual, or a power ful body—whether an individual or a body corporate— and whether a mealy body corporate, ecclesiastical or lay. or the most powerful body in the empire, that party must be considered as the party in a suit in which the decision was given against them by a competent authority —( Hear, hear ) It could not be denied that there existed greet differences of opinion upon other questions of Church Government in that part 01 the empire, although the great body of the people would not sanction the proceedings of those who were running counter to the laws.—( Hear. hear.) Fur his part, before any new laws were introduced in reference to this subject, he should wish to know that proper means had been taken in the proper quarter to secure obedience to the law.—( Haar, hear ) The E-r 1 of ZE'TLA ND presented a petition from a place in Scotland, fraying for a dissolution of the con nection between Church arad State in that country. The Earl of CHARLEVILLE presented a petition from a place in the crusty of Limerick against the present system of National Education in Ireland. POOR LAWS (IRELAND.) The Earl of CHARLEVILLE wished to ask the Noble 'Marquis opposite (the Marquis of Normanby) if he would have any orrjection to lay on the table of the House additional papers relating to the ap pointment of Prior-law Commissioners in Ireland, and c.pecially to the case of Dr. Phelan. He thought that the ieform.eion which /hose pap-re might afford w S desirable, as his Noble Friend the Marquis of Westmeath homier' to rat Ike a motion on the subject. The. Marquis of NORM A NBY said that whenever the Noble M irquis, (the Marquis of Westmeath.) made a motiori on the subject, he would be ready to give every explanation in his power. With re. gard to the appointment of Dr. Phelan, he believed that all the papers relating to it had already been laid before the House. Thu o:arquis of LONDONDERRY wished to ask the Noble Marquis, it he had any inform ation to give the lioege relative to the appointment of a gentleman in the South of Leland of the name of H •ndeock, to the office of a Commissioner. That gentle man had been for many years a violent political agitator, and white a stipendiary M.gistrate he had violently knocked down a gentleman, for which he had afterwards been .lyi g ed to crake en apo - ouy. The Marquis of NORM ANBY could only any that Mr. ilandcock had been appointed by the prevent Sion witnout airy previous commurrication with him on the aubj cr. The Marquis of ;aONDONDERRY asked was the Noble Mei quis aware of Mr. H,recie elf's has ng knuckled down to the Governmer r ?—( Much laughter. ) The Marquis of NORM ANB Y kn w nothing about it.

If either rsf these pr rsons miscon • ducted themselves in the situation to ehich they had been appointed, it would be an eggreveted charge against the Gr - %eminent. He had ventured to throw out there suggestions, because he wee sure, practically, it would be of the roost dangerous consequeece to the public servire. Atter a few words inn explanation from the Earl of Citeeoevlets. and the Duke of WELLINGTON, Tne alerquis of NO rt.li ANB if said that he had told the Commissioners that the enactment implied that they should keep a record of their proceedings. The corre spondence in question was not included in their minutes, but they happened to have copies of them, and bring anxious to afford the House every information in their power, they had furnished a copy of that correspondence, and when their Lordships had read the papers he thought t'ley would be perfectly satisfied. The Duke of WELLINGTON said that if the Act of Parliament required them to keep a record of all their transactions in order to crab c either House of Parliament to trace their proceedings to the foundation, its erovisi , ms could not be considered as complied with if they merely kept a record of their proceedings of administration and not of their corresoondence.

The averag• , nu , ..'oPr of cases, at all events, at the former e eriod was a arty 400, and at the other period about 1 200, which made the bueiness hardly treble. Ile would take it that all the branches of hu,iness had increased threefold. Now, instead of the judicial force being the time as in the time of Lord Hardwick, they would find that the machinery for doing that work—the force with which the weight was to be pulled—had increased very nearly in the proportion of three to one lie did not un derstand the subject well enough to be able to tell why. with that great increase in the power, the present accumu- Istion of business had taken place. Since the time of Lord Iderdwicke there had been an increase of ;50 per cent. in the power of the Vice-Chancery Court. Taking the average of the sittlngs of the Lord Chancellor at 5 or hours per day, that would give 30 hours a-week, which was rather more than the Lord Chancellor was able to devote to judicial business, as he had to attend Privy Councils, the Re 'order's report, and other Ministerial business, Indeed 25 hours was about the average per week, and if they took the Rolls at 12. that would give 37 for both these Courts. The whole judicial power in the time of Lord Hardwicke he would set down at 49, aid the power of these Courts was now equal to 102, which was an increase of 2i. He had alreads stated that the Lord Chance llor had got sonic little relief in the Recorder's report, a v"ef painful and anxious business, Which generally occupied seven or eight dap per ye tr. Oa the whole, if he took the increase 'at three to one, he would, he thought , be rather under than over stating it. He was anxious that justice should be done, the suitor relieved, the Courts helped, and the question was, how th at could he best accomplished. The (potion % a what amount of assistance they ought to give ? n' t Noble and Learned friend had stated that on an average of seven years, ending 1834 the number of causes *a: 890 ; exceptions and further directions 369; arid pleas an d demo rers 56, ni,king a total of all matters of business get down for trial of 1,316. The number disposed of in ths-sc seven years averaged in each }ear 908 causer ; 404 exceP' tiens anti further rlirectionS; and 55 pleas and demurrage the total being 1,370 heard and disposed of, the matters to be tried amounting only to 1,316. That did not show any w.set of force, because it appeared that the Court bad Idisposed of more matters than were set down for trial, and consequently some of the arrcar was got rid of. It might be said, and it had been raid, that extraordinary exertions had been used during that period, but their Lordships would find that the ave-age !lumber of cases set down for trial in the next four years was 1.281, and the own ber disposed of was 1,285. But there was 83 arrear, anti no doubt it was true that if a c ase was brought into Court, it would be tried. It was said also that it was necessary that the Judges and th e , suitors should have som e r e li e f, an d h e , f or Gee, was re" ) ; to admit that necessity. He would observe, however , an d he would beg the attention of his Noble and Learned Friend ( Lied Lyndhurst) to that part of the subject-- he admitted that there was en arrear, and the firet question t° be coesidered was, whether that was to be considered a temporary or a constant arrear ? Was it an smea r arising out of the business of the Court?' from a n increase in the business, or a defect in the judicial power end machinery of the Court ? or was it temporary, arising from the accidental circumstance of so many bills having been filed in one year, namely, 2,600, instead of 2,00 0 or 2.100, from the great influx of Railway Bills, and which,' from their very nature, could not last for ever. Let then Lordships only consider how important that was• the was proposed to give a permanent remedy, " supposition that the arrear would be permanent , a n and the addition to be made to the powers of the C ourt were therefore to be permanent. But let their Lordsh i p s reflect that if the arrear was got rid of the Judges wo uld remain, and he did not think the answer at all a triumphant one, that even if the arrear was got rid of there would be always something for them to do, and they would not be idle. Now with respect to the number of cases for troll' the end of the judicial year, he found that the causes read y for trial, including excepti o ns and further directions , P le t a e and demurrers for the year 1827, were 668; in 1828 w number was 669; in 18°9 the number was 722 ; t" 1830 . 0 the number was 374: in 1831 the number was 229; 1832 145, showing that the arrear had been almost en tirely got rid of. In 1833 the number was 203; and the" • came the great influx to which he had alluded in the course of 1834, by which in 1835 the number of causes was 630:, in 1837 it was 782. In order to ascertain whether that arrear was permanent or temporary. ‘Vbat bettea.r course could they take, and have to examine whet her th, arrear continued in the same ratio, or whether it had In ; creased or diminished in the last four years. B ecaus e even if it continued at thesatne number it would b e a pro` that the arrears were not increasing. Now he found this instead of 752. the number of causes to be heard in 1t 436 " the ',umber in 1837 was only 647—in 1838, it w as 607' and in :839 it lied increased a little by 693. 0 " Of t i s t most important considerations with their Lordships wou be as to the practical nature arid tendency of the prepos.ieta si measure, out if they applied a great increase of ilt dit e jes force for the purpose of getting rid of an arrcar wh ich , of. only temporary, that arrear would certainly he dispose° ee but afierwares say in a couple of years, or t ia . r _ years at the outside—there would be no suffiet',3o occupation for those new Judges whom they were aboot d_r appoint. Then it was said that the Equity ExcheTat scold be transferred to the Court of Chancery, a after there would be thereby a further increase of business' a , the arrear had been got rid of. That would only inerr 0 _ the business of the Court of Chancery one-thirteenth . one fourteenth; while, on the other hand, it waa P t °, posed to increase the judicial power, not by one thi rteenth or one-fourteenth, but by some thing like two-fifths, a pro position which, in his opinion, was not of a proportion. Then it was said that a new source of business would be opened up fur getting rid of the arrears, as at present it act , d as a denial of justice. wbi e, if the arrears were got: rid of, an additienal number of suitors would come into Court. Instead of 70 or 80 per cent, the increase of the business in cons, cpieoce of the proposed transfer, would only b° • &Tut tour or five per cent. There could be no doubt if the arrear were got rid of there would be a considerable increase in the business during the first two or three yea rs,. but after that time he had tie duut:st the causes woulrt climet er back to th, it old proportion s , a nd even, although wo uld be uge - might he some kilt. permanent increase. yet e ho would say, new judges. If there must oe any m aces:— sub . nothing like such as to r e quire the apdoi ntment of two as far as he had been able to form an op intsm on the . . 0 jut, if it must be so, let there be one additional judge appointed; ; he would advise their Lordships, at all scents not to agree to more, and the reason why he w s s so re luctant in giving his assent to the a ppointment es" ° I one was, that he knew there was nothing more clanger ous than to say to a Court, if you get i nto arrears, you u . shall have additional judges appointed to help yo. He was well aware that if during the time he had the he• neur to occupy the office which was now so worthily filled by his Noble and Lear n ed Friend, he had lis tened to the anxious representations which were made to him by several of the Judges of the Common-law Courts in Westminster ball, he should have given them Additional assistance. stead of that he had ventured to suggest that the real re-_ medy would be found in increased exertion on the part of. the existing Judges, and he was convinced that if h e • hi"' yielded to their representatioes and appointed more Jtirlgr in the Common-law Courts, they would now have had ta t those Courts more Judges thin were wanted. tieethe . 8 : point to which he wished to iirect their Lordships'atte thin was the manner in which it was p e oposed to deal wt the appellee!. jurisdiction.
