A considerable number of Bills yesterday received the Royal Assent ; their names are stated in our report. Amongst the petitions presented was one by Lord BROUGHAM from Mr. CRABTREE, complaining of his treatment in Wakefield Gaol. We have laid the substance of that petition before our readers ; and Lord BROUGHAM bore his testimony to the impropriety of the . treatment, by saying he could scarcely believe the statements. The Marquis of NORMANBY promised to make in quiries into the allegations, whence it may be inferred that our Legislators and our Ministers do not know what cruelties are practised under their authority. The county Magistrates, or their jacks in office, perpetrate, in the name of the law, those odious cruelties of which the lain -makers are ashamed. The Earl of HADDINGTON referred to the Commis sientra of the Poor-laws, who have made certain in quiries into the health of the English towns, having b een empl o y e d t o ma ke similar inquiries in Scotland, an d expressed an opinion that they were not proper Derson s to make the icquiry. - The Marquis of NORMANBY informed the Noble Earl that th e C is 'on bad Teen extended to Scot ia Commission e. t ed. consequence of revests from both Glasgow and 'nuurgh, and that it had nothing to do with the Scotch Poor-laws. 4, The Earl o f HADDINGTON was satisfied, and said th at the known cleanliness of the Scotch, made an in cl,„u4y. less necessar y amongst them than amongst the .ealeltsh. .The survey of the coast, to form harbours of refuge, "ems to have excited the hopes of many persons, arid, last night Lord PORTMAN for Portland, and t h e 2 1.1 of FeestouTts for Falmouth, assured their Lord - Ins that breakwaters would be useful at those places. The Admiralty Court Bill went through a Corn tnittee, the most objectionable clauses, as Lord nunnaat said, having been removed by the House Commons. Again th e i n d om i ta bl e M a rquis of WESTMEATH talked about th e a d m i n i s tration of the Poor-law in Ire -1 '"d, and moved for a Select Committee to inquire into Its operation. The Marquis of NORMANBY opposed tie motion. Vaerthow,ed that there were r.o grounds for the othi - r _ guts s complaints and he begged their Lordships u ould no t, a d d to the ' difficulties of the Poor-law Com missioners The Duke of WELLINGTON took a similar view, and said that the motion of the Tory Marquis would only c ause conf us i on . H e recommen ded that it should be w ithdraw n , th oug h h e expresse d a Lope that the Minis t d uty would make the Poor-law Cominissioners do; t h e ir utY more effectually. The Nlarquis of WESTMEATH, after some contersatioe, obediently withdrew tie mo `lee. and their Lordships adjourned. The Ho use o f Co m mons had a discussion on the r aTt ' barn Rectory Bill, which Captain PLCHELL wished G‘ h av e postponed, on account of the absence of Mr. AGLIONBY. On a di.ision, however, the Bill was read second time, by 187 to 61. In reply to Dr. NICHOL, Lord J. RUSSELL stated that e n meant to exclude Wales from the operation of 'e Ecclesiastical Duties' and Revenues' Bill, and bring as B separate Bill for Wales. 4 .P, answer to Mr. WALLACE, Mr. LABOUCHERE stated that.: h e bad heard that the Spanish Commh sioners- had recommended a tariff to the Spanish Go verorneni, which would prove injurious both to the trad e of Spain and England, but be hoped the Cortes w ould not sanction the recommendation. The House went into a Committee on the Ecclesias tical „Duties and Revenues Bill, and discussed th e i i 4 uses at co ns iderable length, dividing two or three ' lll °B. but not materially altering the Bill. With this T h ensure th e House was occupied the greater part of evening. It sat till One o'clock. If we notice the dissensions amongst the obstrue- I rs, mi s - name d C ons ervatives, it is, we can assure P O 3l, from no regard to them; b ut merel y to ,h'e () , t _ v the public that this faction, tho u g h ea g er to t ' r eak up the present Government, are not agreed t n°ogst themselves as to the principles on which tt nY other Government could be carried on. One set of them w ou ld be for uniting the Canadas and estn ring constitutional Government in t hat colon y . 'pother s set wou ld h e f or keeping the provinces jilletate, and governing them by martial law. A ur t i Set tell us to shake hands' with the ',N)lonv, 4 p it i t i part f r i en d s . Some of them supposed the - 1 1;y Reserves Bill as indispensable to the wel "re of the colony ; others opposed it as ruinous. 0 ne set told us not to think of maintaining t a te Church in all its supremacy in Cana da ; enpt l ,er, that so to maintain it is the onl y g °ll n of union. They are equally at variance to Ireland, where a large portion o te n would maintain the supremacy of the Ant igliean priesthood at all hazards, while anodic? .portion of them, regardless of that , join w i th the ~ ti hiP in preferring municipal reform. The Tories 1 th e Commons were vehement in condemning the attemp t to brio,' the Chinese to reason ; the Tories ' l n , the Lord s , headed by the Duke of WELLING :4(IT' gave it their cordial approb ation. On the '''lnporta n t questions of peace or war, constitu °nal government or martial lau, the supremacy of the Church or of the civil power, the Tories are divided amongst themselves, and agree in nothing but opposin and thwarting the present Miniaters. The Post even theorizes this conduct and justifies it. When the Whi t rs were in opposition, on the great principles of retrench ment and reform they differed essentially from the Tories, and these principles they labotned in- . cessantly to make valid in the Councils of the State. They did not criticise and thwart the measures of Government because they were in opposition, but they professed different principles from the Tories, for which they sought to gain the ,mastery. - The Tories, except on the single point of curtailing the Church property, arid appropriating, the surplus to the education of the people—a prin ciple which the Whigs, we regret to say, have given up—do not much differ from the Whigs. They have been compelled to turn Whigs, and, whik they have adoted Whig principles, they spate no Exertions to seize the Whig places. They hare a horror, indeed, of Mr. O'CONNELL, but he is not a principle ; they abuse him, they abuse the Ministers for securing his support, because they need the Places in which his influ ence and the attachment of Ireland to the Whigs contribute to keep the Ministers. But, not differ ing from the Whigs on any principle which they dare to profess, they endeavour to thwart and ob struct them, and endeavour to break up the Go varnment. The Post avows this, and defends it as patriotism. It spoke yesterday of the Opposition as engaged in carping at and criticising the mea sures of the Ministry ; it describes that as its busi ness ; and, looking only at the conduct of the Tories, it couftl form no hi l i,ber idea of an Opposition than that of thwarting and obstructing the Government. What will the public think of a party the con duct of which is so described by its own journals ? The Standard says the Conservatives vote for measures they describe as odious and execrable ; that they stain their souls by giving their solemn legislative sanction to measures they hate ; and the Post informs us that they are guilty of these scan dalous vices, as on Opposition, for the purpose of thwarting her Majesty's Ministers. We can un derstand Radicals or Republicans acting on that principle, because they look for far greater changes than merely in the holders of office ; but a mere mischievous or suicidal policy in the so-called Con servatives it is impossible to conceive. If the pub lic can place any confidence in the faction after such an exposure of their principles and conduct by their own scribes, the public, we must conclude, to be as unprincipled as the Tories themselves. The Tory Lords, according to report, are re solved to throw out the Canada Bill. After the opinions expressed by the Duke of WELLINGTON and Lord ELLENBOROUGH, we do not see how they can do otherwise ; but those Noble Lords will not take the lead in rejecting it. The Bishop of EXETER and Lord LYNDHURST are the persons who said to have put the Earl of HARDWICKE in motion. The influence of the Church, therefore, is to involre Canada, as it has int olved Ireland, in confusion, and may occasion the separation of both. The above report confirms our statement, that there are incurable divisions amongst the Tories. On no one question do they show themselves urited, except in inflicting injury and insult on Ire land. Excellent Patriots and excellent Church To-morrow, the sth, being Sunday, the Revenue accounts will probably be made up this evening, and we believe they will show, notwithstanding the stifling influence of the Corn-laws, that the Re venue has not fallen off. It is to be hoped that the unanimous testimony yesterday borne to the virtues and beneficence of the Jews, by men of all parties, creeds, and from all quarters of the empire, and the unanimous and indignant denial which was given to the calumnies against them, will have an appropriate and beneficial effect in disabusing the minds of their enemies in the East of the vile preju- dices still nourished against them. Thati the record of what has passed in Parliament, and and of what passed yesterday at the Mansion house, of which a full report appears in The Sun, Sir MOSES MONTEFIORE can early no prouder certificate to the PACIIA of EGYPT of the esteem in which the members of his ancient race are held in England. He is about to proceed, it is said, on the beneficent errand of rescuing his brethren at Damascus from oppression, and he could not be better armed than with the testimony of the wealthy citizens of London, who have cu intimate and every-day intercourse with the Jews. Nor will their praiseworthy efforts to strengthen the cause of humanity abtoad be lost for themselves. It is impossible that men of all parties should meet to promote in common so noble an object without thinking better of each other, and without materially abating those sectarian and local prejudices which sometimes embitter the otherwise worthy and emulous contentions, who shall have the highest place in the esteem of his countrymen. So it is that blessings come back to the bosoms from whence they flow. The hostility of the CHANCELLOR of the Ex cri EQUER to Mr. CRESSWELL'S intended motion may well be styled wrong-headed, for even his pos sible success could only be temporary, or it would be a disgrace. A pretty specimen, indeed, would it afford to foreign nations of cur mode of justice. '['he case is this ;—Parliament and the Ministers agree, in 1834, to compensate losses occasioned in 1807 by our own acts out of the Danish prize money received. Two classes are paid ; the claims of the third are objected to by Ministers, on the plea of an abstract opinion of their law officers. Parliament, however, in 1838, decides in favour of this third class, and her MAJESTY gives directions that the claims, as was done with the other two classes, I.)e examined by the Commissioners. This in itself was a decision that ought to have con tented Ministers. But, in 1839, on the Report of the Commissioners, the House, a second time, and by a larger majority, decides that these claims be adjudimed, and her MAJESTY gives her consent. Now, we put it to the common sense of English men, whether, by those proceedings, a solemn judgment was not passed in favour of the diminished claims so adjudicated, which ought to be as bind ing as any judgment in a court of law, or of any return of a Master in Chancery, under the direc tion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, on the claims submitted to him. We appeal to the Representatives of Foreign (so called) despotic Powers of Russia, Prussia, and Austria, whether, if their Governments direct a Commission to examine claims on their Fiscus or Treasury, the claimants, on an adjudication in their favour, are not perfectly sure of their money ? But, to come home, have we an instance, in any civilized period of our history, where Parliament has been permanently forced to stultify its own judgments in such a way by the dictation of any CHANCELLOR? The French Journals of Thursday have all duly reached us. In the C'onstilutionnel, the organ of the President of the Council and Niinistcr for Foreign Affairs,we find the following highly important pa:agragh, to which we have great satisfaction in inviting public attention : " Government has received news of great importance. Mehemet Ali, on learning the dismissal of the Grand Khosraw Pasha, expressed the greatest joy ; as he felt that this event would have the result of removing one of the great obstacles to an amicable arrangement between the Porte and him. Therefore', on the reception of the news, he charged his First Sccretary, Samy Bay, to go to Constantinople to offer the Sultan his homage and devo tion, and to ask frcm him his orders as to the immediate restoration of the Ottoman fleet. Thi; concession, so im portant, is altogether spontaneous on the part of the Pacha of Egypt, and it will facilitate, without doubt, a trans ic tion found , d on reciprocal sacrificer. This fact should, therefore, be considered to have a fortunate it.fluence on the solution of the question of the Ea t. We do not doubt that Lott). PALMERSTON will readily co-operate with M. TIIIERS in facilitating a pacific arrangement between the SULTAN and his Vassal. The mere humiliation of the VICEROY is no part of the true policy of Great Britain, whose interest it is to cultivate his friendship by every compliance, short of an abandonment of the great principle of the indissolubility of the Ottoman Empire. At half-past six. o'clock on Thursday evening the authorities at Boulogne seized Mr. WAGIIORN'S India Express as it was about to be conveyed on board a steamer for Dover. No cause was assigned for this un precedented proceeding, by which the delivery of highly important advice; to many mercantile houses in London and the principal towns of linglanii and Scotland, must be delayed perhaps for a couple of days, The fPlititvr jog letter on the subject has been addressed by Mr. 4GiIORN to ail the London Journals SEIZURE OF DESPATCHES . TO 7BE EDITOI? OF 71113 SUN. 34, Cornhill, July +, I A. Si. "I SIR,— I beg of yin jo Publish ;Ws letter in jpur columns at once. At 6, 40, r.m., of the 2d instant, my express arrived et Boulogne, brought by Frenchmen, on horseback, at stages from M;rseilles, in a most extraordi nary short space of time. " At Boulogne a Dover steamer was waiting, as well as an express messenger from this Ake, which express would have arrived in London at two o'clock on the morn ing of yester ay, the 31, except tortnigh its seizure by the French authorities at Boulogne, wl,o not only took away the express, but broke the seals of it, although my mes senger positively told the authorities it was an .express. That messenger very properly came to London, and de tailed the matter to me. I immediately went to the Fo reign.effice aged stated the facts there, and forthwith pro cured a letter, by order of Lord Palmerston, to Monsieur Guizot (French Ambassador), who immediately wrote to the Prefect of Boulogne, to deliver the said express to my order. This was followed up by my sending off a horse express to Dover and steamer to - Boulogne, fur its recovery and despatch to London. " I beg to take this medium of thanking the gentlemen of the Foreign-office for their immediate good offices in procuring me an interview with Lord Leveson ; also to that Nobleman for taking instant measuree of acres to Lord Palmerston, who kindly forthwith wrote M. Gu.zot, who immediately did all in his power. The disappointment and loss this seizure has caused to me is most severe. Never throughout my whole course of life have I toiled more than on this particular occasion for success, and success would have crowned my endeavours if this ill-timed seizure had not occurred, particularly now that my resources are crippled by serious losses occasioned by the plague in Egypt, by which my establishments there are working at a great sacrifice. Why, or through what moti%e, this seizure was made is yet to tell. The express contained advice's to the principal tryrchants, &c. of Lon den, Liverpool, Manchester, Glasgow, &c. " I remain, Sir, your very faithful servant, "THOMAS WAGHORN." On Wednesday last, at a public dinner in Paris, at tended by 1,200 Liberals, including several Deputies, " the total abolition of the punishment of death " was given as a toast, and received with loud cheers. This is a good omen. Legal murders in the eye of pure rea son are as frightful spectacles. and as great crimes as ndividual assassination. Nay, they are infinitely worse. The Prince de Joinville is to set out for Toulon this evening. The Journal of the Eastern Pyrenees says, that a re port is current at Perpignan that one of the King's sons and M. Thiers are to go to Barcelona, as soon as it is kuown that the Queen of Spain has arrived there. Desertions from the Carlist ranks are more and more numerous. Bergs will not stand a siege ; as soon as the Queen's troops shall begin to rneve towards that town, Cabrera and his troops will enter Prance and lay down their arms. Several Carlist families from Berga arrived at Perpignan cn the 25th of June. ()tilers have claimed the assistance of the troops of the Qieen. Lieutenant-General de Castellano arrived on the 26th of June at Perpignan, where he is going to resume the command of his division. The Jouinat du Havre of the 29 t h ult. sa ys :—.. This morning the detachment of sappers and miners, which ar rived yesterday from - Dieppe on its way to Cherbourg, were reviewed en the Great Quay by the commandant or the town.

This order indicates;a new destination. Depart, then, and by your discipline and good conduct second the brave officers who command you. Prove to the world that in America, as in Africa, French soldiers have lust none of the valour which distinguished them, and that there, as everywhere else, they will make the national colours respected.

The official value of imports from France for the last year was 4,022,5261., having gradually risen to that amount since 1814, when it was 740,2271. In that year the imports of British and Irish produce and manufactures into France did not exceed 377,799/., and, including colonial and fo reign merchandize, they amounted altogether to 2,248,136/. Last year the total exports were 3,632,653/., about one-seventh of which consisted of foreign and colonial merchandise—so that the balance of trade in favour of France is about one-eighth. Since France recovered her colonial possessions, and established commercial relations with other countries, the exports of foreign and colonial merchandise from this country have fallen from 1,870,3371. to 514.243; the amount respectively in the years 1814 and 1839. Parliamentary Electors in Cities and Boroughs, enti tled under the Reform Act, will lose their votes for the next year, unless they pay on or before the 20th day of July all the poor's rates (and window tax, it any) paya ble from them in respect of their premises previously to the 6th day of April. Country voters must send in their claims on or before the 20th day of July. On Tuesday was married, at St. George's, Hanover-square, by the Right lion. and Rev. Lord Wm.

JAMES'S PA LACE.—A number of work men commenced on Friday some alterations in the Chapel Royal. They chiefly consist of fixing gas tubes in the interior, which is to be lighted with gas, and also heated on a new prin ciple. It is delightful to pass from mummeries like these to the freshness of human nature, unalloyed by worldly' consideration, and unchecked by worldly advancement. Cap tain Lord Frederick Fitzelarerice, who was on this occasion in attendance upon his Royal father, called me out of the green room, and with a considerable degree of excitement, said, " Bunn, 1 have not been behind the scenes of this theatre since the last evening my dear mother performed here, and (here nis Lordship took me by the arm , walked down the long pas sage on that side of tl.e house, and kicked open the dressing room door at the end of it) " that is the room . in which she used to d; ess.

" Excuse my emotion" (passing his hand over his eyes), "I could not help, and, to tell you the truth, 1 could not resist being here this evening, but I never mean to come again. I was happier then than, with all the enjoyments of life, I have ever been since."— The Stage, by A. Bunn. FATALACCIDENT.—AS Mr. Samuel Shep ard, of Swindon, was returning home from Broad Hinton, Wilts, in a gig, on Thursday night, the vehicle was overturned on the side of the road where there is a slight descent. Mr. Sheppard was thrown out ; and a labouring man, who reached the spot soon after, found the edge of the gig pressing on the bark of his neck. A surgeon was immediately sent for, and promptly attended, but life was extinct before he arrived. NEW PRISON BOARD, EDINBURGIi.-We understand that this body has given notice to Mr. Rose, Mr. Young, and Mr. Kirkwood, the respective Governors of the Edinburgh and Canongate Gaols and City Bris!ewell, that after October next their services in those capacities shad cease. This announcement created a great sensation among the citizens yesterday. We believe, however, that the Act passed last Ses sion, under the auspices of Mr. Fox Alaule, provides compen sation ; but, as we do not happen to have a copy of that Act beside us at the present moment, and as our information is otherwise imperfect, we forbear to s..y more. — Caledonian Mercury. A correspondent of the Times complains of the Order in Council for reprisals against China as being completely a dead letter, except in the hands of the Government. The Order, while it directs and permits seizures of all ships, eargoes, arid goods belonging to any subject of the Chinese Emperor, or any resident in the Chinese dominions, and provides for the, detention of such seizures, says nothing about prizes money, nor about any compensation to individuals for making cap tures, and hence it will merely be executed by the offi cers belonging to Government, who will not act without orders. It is stated as a fact, that Howqua has been in the habit of consigning teas for sale in the London market since the commencement of the free trade, and that he has done so largely singe the beginning of the present difficul ties, his shipments being regularly noticed in the mercantile letters. Some of these consignments are said to have arrived recently, while others are on their way to London. These ship ments being made through a resident in China, it is presumed by our correspondent that they are liable to detention. How qua being the grand commercial mediator between the English and Chinese authorities, it would be profitable to him to pre vent competition in both tea markets; and hence it is contended Government should investigate the consignments, and not allow Howqua to profit by the war, and hold out a bonus to his encou. raging a state of discord. There is a strong commercial feeling on this subject in the city, but perhaps it is too much to say that it ought to be yielded to, COACH ACCIDENT.—The Bristol and Here ford coach broke down on Monday, between Tinterne and f_Theostow. The fore kart of the coach became detached from the body, with which the horses started, but were soon stop ped. The coachman had his sbonider FliblOcatad, and three passengers were injured, though not severely, except a voting lady returning to Bath, who is so severely cat about the face as likely to di-figure her for life, and otherwise so injured as to be unable to proceed. She is now lying at the Beaufort Hotel at Chepstow, where every possible attention is shown her. Alr.

Boultbee, Esq., for Derbyshire; Felix Pryor, Esq., for Edinburgh.; HAYMARKET THEATRE. The tragedy of Macbeth was played here last night \ for Mr. Charles Keao's benefit. The principal cha racter wi:s of course sustained by that gentleman, and it is no more than justice to state that he played it throughout in a style of very superior excellence. Judgment, as regards conception, combined with un common spirit of execution, are the chief character istics of his performance. His very first scene con vinced us that he had read and meditated on his text in a thoughtful and learned spirit. His Macbeth is no mere common-place tyrant or murderer, such as he has been too often represented ; but a man of sensitive temperament and generous impulses, who has been inveigled into guilt by the necromantic influence of the imagination, which acts upon him as a sort of destiny. From the first moment of his interview with the weird sisters, his doom is fixed. He feels—and we feel too—that be could not shape his lot otherwise if he would. He is planet-struck, has lost his free agency, and hurries forward in his headlong career, at the bidding of powers whom his imagination has in vested with omnipotence. His very ambition is nor, as in King Richard, the child of his will ; but the half reluctant, and inevitable working out of what he feels to be his destiny. This conviction imparts in the earlier stage of his feverish career a deep, solemn, subdued feeling to his character, which Mr. Charles Kean pourtrayed with infinite subtlety and discrimina tion. We saw at once the man spell-bound by the force of imagination ; moving about as in a dream ; and acting under an influence which is neither to be gainsayed nor controlled. Such was Mr. I(ean's conception of 11Iacbeth, in the first act of his eventful life ; and this is the only true one. As he becomes more inured to guilt—is more mixed up with the bustle of the world, and feels the necessity of retaining the giddy elevation to which he has attained, at. all hazards, more worldly feelings peep out ; and this new phase of character was marked by Mr. Kean with equal felicity. At the close of his career, when he is rudely awakened, as it were, from his long dream, remorse—lasting, unavailing remorse—relieved only by touches of fierce, convulsive desperation,is the true touch stone of his character ; and here again Mr. Kean was eminently successful. In fact, his performance through out was carefully studied, and, in consequence, finely dis criminated ; and had his physical powers but adequately seconded his conception, we should have had no hesi tation—even with the image of his father in our recollection—in pronouncing his Macbeth the most perfect that has been witnessed since the days of John Kemble. But now to details. The scene of the murder—morn especially the famous dagger soliloquy— had the rare merit of being highly impressive without the aid of trick or clap-trap. Indeed, Mr. Kean gave to this entire scene a thrilling earnestness—exhibited an intensity of purpose—that produced quite an electric Effect on the audience. The deep sense of physical and mental relief which he showed, when he discovered that the ghastly, blood-stained dagger was a mere phantom of the imagination, was remarkable for its feeling and perfect naturalness. We know an eminent tragedian, on whom this welcome discovery would have produced no other effect, than to throw him grievously and grotesquely off his perpendicular. The banquet scene was another triumph of art ; and not less efficient was Kean's recitation of that affecting passage " Duncan is in his grave," which, as he deli vered it, breathed the very soul of pathos. His closing scenes, in which he made a profound impression on the audience, were stirring and energetic in a high degree, but we cannot rank them among his most legitimate efforts. Though well conceived, they were rather over-done. There was too much physical display, and the ac tion was at times almost convulsive. Mr. Kean should correct this defect at once, or it will be apt to grow into a mannerism. Again, soma of his pauses were too protracted—so much EC), indeed, as to weaken the emphasis of certain significant pas sages ; and there wag here and there a sudden drop piug, from impressive recitation into a c olloquial fami liarity of manner, as in the instance of " Out, out, brief candle !" which was not warranted either by the sense or spirit of the text. Taken altogether, hoWever, Mr. Bean's Macbeth was a striking, an impassioned— and what, perhaps, is better :till—a consistent and judi cious performance ; and we recognised throughout it abundant proofs of an intelligence and sensibility that, !vim' duly disciplined and modified by study and practice, will enable Mr. Kean to obtain the very highest rank in his profession. Mrs. Warner's Lady Macbeth was a chaste and impressive perform ance, and we may say the same of Phelps' Macduff. Locke's fine witch choruses were executed with skill and spirit; and, indeed, the whole tragedy was got up in a style most creditable to the manager. At the close of the performance Mr:Kean was called for loudly and unanimously by the audience, and the stage was literally strewed with garlands. Mrs. Warner and Mr. Phelps were also called for, and received the plaudits of the house. Such was the effect produced by Mr. Kean's admir able personation of Macbeth, that it was announced, on the part of the management, that he was re-en gaged for nine nights more, and would perform Macbeth on 'Mondays, Wednesdays, end Fridays. Tula announcement was received with deafening cheers by a house crowded to overflowing. THE SIX CLERKS. Our attention has been directed to AD article in the Jurist of last Saturday, relating to certain Chancery officers, called " Six Clerks, and Clerks in Court," of which the following are extracts, and to which we beg to call the serious attention of our readers, and particu lady those who arc Members of the Legislature. " 1.-AS TO THE SIX CLERKS. " The perseverance of Mr. Aglionby (who, as well as Mr. Blake, is entitled to the thanks of the profession and the public for his energetic and successful endea vours to procure returns as to the state of the offices in the Court of Chancery), has obtained for the profession o return of the amount of the fees and emoluments of the Six Clerks and Sworn Clerks of the Court of Chan cery. It appears from these returns that each of the Six Clerks receives annually the sum of 1,7021., besides about 4901. every sixth year, for about two months' at tendance in Chancery lane to sign his name and perform some other formal acts ! The total amount of the re ceipts of the Six Clerks in 1797, exclusive of their fees as Comptrollers of the Hapaper, amounted to 2,049/. I s. only, giving 341/ 10s. a-year to each. The emoluments of the S.x Clerks have, therefore, increased more than FIVEFOLD. " 11.-AS TO THE CLERKS IN COURT OR SWORN CLERKS " In 18:31, the Clerks in Court made a return of the fees and emoluments received in the Six Clerks' Office in that year. The returns which have been obtained by Mr. Aglionby relate to the years 1838 and 1839, The total amounts in each of those years are put below in separa►e columns, so that the progressive increase in such tees may more clearly appear. - 1831. 1838. 1839. £46,372 1.5 10 I £54,723 19 0 I £59,967 6 9 " The claims for compensation in this office hare, therefore, increased since 1831, by no less a sum than 13,6941. 10s. 11d. per annum, within about 1,3001. of what Mr. Field in his late publication considers neces sary to pay efficient officers for performing all the duties done in this office. " Even by the delay of ()he year, the claims for compen sation have increased 5,244/. a-year ! If two now Judges, or even one, should be appointed, these claims will, of course, be increased in proportion.—The time Kill surely come at last when it will be thought worth while to look after this office and put it on a proper footing. " One of the Clerks in Court, (No. 3), returns as the amount of his gross receipts in 1839, 10,8791. 3s. 10d. None of the Clerks in C-urt have returned the amounts paid by them for office expenses, agent, sta tionary, and the like ; probably Mr. Aglionby may think it right to call for this additional return." The writer give; in the meantime, the following as the heads of payment : "1. Paid to Six C1erk5...X1,446 6 6 2. 8.-Ocarer and others 59 14 5 3. To Agent, who does the greatest part of the business, 2.1. per folio for office copies (some say lid. only is paid) as his remuneration... 4. Office expenses, share of land-tax, &c.—say 300 0 0 9G3 0 0 - £2,769 0 11 Deduct 2,7691. 11d. from 10,879 3 10 there remlins Thus leaving Cierk in Court No. 3." a very subordinate officer be it remembered, " a larger amount of income than the Lord Chief Justice of England receives ; and this at a time when the future Vice-Chancellors arc to be cut down to 5,000/. a year ! "Of the other Clerks in Court, one receives the gross sum of 9.645/., another 8,130/., another 7'163/ , an other 6,625/. ; each of these gentlemen receives a net income exceeding that of a Judge of the Courts of Common Law, two of them probably exceeding that of the Lord Chief Baron, and twice as much as the salary of the 111 asters." We pause here for a moment to express our utter astonishment that any Government should have per mitted such a progressive system for fleecing the unfor tunate suitors of the Court of Chancery to have gone on. The writer proceeds— " If, indeed, the duties of the office were performed in a manner that was beneficial to the suitors, the amount paid to the officers would be a matter of minor importance. But the general voice of the profession proclaims that the contrary is the fact. Mr. Field has put together, in a convincing manner, the arguments for the abolition of the Six Clerks' Office. The plan proposed by Mr. Field, which, coming from a practical man of great experience. deserves every attention, is to abolish the office altogether, and to appoint A head taxing officer, at, say, per ananm £2,000 Four mere Assistant s 600 Record Keeper and Enterer of Appearances Assistants 800 Scaler of Writs for additional duties £11,2C0 Add expense of making office copies at Id. a folio, say £14,900 " This plan would efcct a sr!viny to the suitors (whe❑ the compensations had expired) of 45,0671. a-year, and the business would be done more to the advantage of the suitors, especially if rational rules for the taxation of costs were laid down." With this authentic exposure of one of the greatest abuses that it has been our duty to record, we call upon the Government, and those who profess to be the guardians of our property, and the superintendents of the administration of justice, to lay aside their party squabbles, and immediately to turn their attention to affording a remedy for this monstrous abuse. No won der the Court of Chancery is complained of when such immense sums are squeezed out of the pockets of those who have to resort to that Court, to fatten Chancery Clerks. We trust that Mr. Aglionby, to whom the thanks of the public are eminently due for having, by his own exertions, brought this abuse to light, will per severe until he has forced the Legislature to provide an efficient remedy for this as. well as the other grievous abuses of the Court of Chancery. INSPECTION OF THE GRENADIER GUARDS IN HYDE PARK —This morning, at nine o'clock, the First and Third Battalions of Grenadier Guards, marched from their respective barracks, into Hyde Park, for the purpose of being inspected, and go through a grand field-clay, before the Duke of Wellington and Lord Hill, (the Commander-in- Chief.)

DEATH OF ENSIGN PALE.—An accident— we regret to say a fatal one—occurred on Saturday to the young gentlemen whose name stands at the head of this para graph. He was in the 3:ld Foot, was son to Sir Laurence Palk, Bart., of Haldon House, near Clopton-bridge, in Devon shire, and was not, we believe, in more than the twentieth Tear of his age. He was taking his usual ride on the road leading to Carrigaloe from Cove, when by some means he fell from his horse, but still held on by the rein, from which it is inferred that the fall did not materially injure him. It is supposed, however, that in reaching out his hand to grasp his whip, which bad escaped from him, he pulled the horse forward, and from one of the animal's feet received an injury in the right aide of the head, which fractured the bone to a considerable extent. A brother officer, Ensign Rushbrook, had ridden out in hi s company, but being a little in advance, was ignorant of what had occurred, and, on looking round, he saw the poor fellow o n the ground. He immediately rode up, raised him, and having procured assistance, he was conveye d to the h otel at Cove, where the fractured portions of t h e cranium hav ing been care fully removed, and the depresse d p arts elevated, a little tempo rary symptoms relief o was strongly afforded.ng ly indicative i eof t t i Convulsions, he injury n j ury which th e b ra i n had received, soon set in. The sur g eo n of the 19th, happen ingto be in town, was called into consultation with Dr. Scott, 'of Cove, and Assistant - Staff Surgeon Wood, of the G enera l Hospital, and the patient was visited by Si r J ames Pitcairn on Sunday ; but, notwithstanding the most active, as well as ju dicious treatment, this promising young officer expired that evening—regretted, not oily by his brother officers, but by all o whom he was known.—Cork Southern Reporter.
