In another part of this day's impression will be
found the new general rules and orders of the Court
of Chancery, sanctioned by the Lord Chancellor,
Master of the Rolls, Lords Justices, and Vice-
Chancellors. They had been for some weeks antici-
pated. A rumour was current that the high judicial
authorities had discharged their duty, and that the
appearance of the new regulations might be
looked for every hour. It would, how-
ever, seem as though delay and procrastina-
tion were incidental to every proceeding in
Chancery. The manuscript rules were signed on the
7th of August, but it was not until September that
they were permitted to escape from the hands of the
printer. 'With whom the fault lies we know not, but
it is certainly not with the judges. It must necessa-
rily fall on some of the subordinates.
The new orders appear well calculated to carry out
the true intent and meaning of the Legislature to
prevent the extraordinary prolixity that has hereto.
fore been indulged in, and thus materially
to diminish the expenses incidental to a
suit in equity. The six first relate to
the printing of bills and claims, which it will be
in recollection has been substituted for engross-
ments on parchment by the recent Chancery Practice
Amendment Act (15 and 16 Vic., c. 86). They direct
—" 1. Bills and claims are to be printed on writing
royal paper, quarto, in pica type, leaded; and the
copy to be filed, is to be interlined with paper of the
same description ; and also, that 2. No costs are to be
allowed, either as between party and party, or as be-
tween solicitor and client, for any written bill, or
written copy of a bill, filed under the 15 and 16 Vic.,
c. 86, s. 6, or for any written copy thereof, served
upon the defendant thereto, or for any written brief
of such bill, unless the. Court shall, in disposing of the
costs of the cause, direct the allowance thereof."
But this is not all. A written bill moy still be
filed in cases of emergency, upon the written under-
taking of the solicitor to file a printed copy within 14
days. But in the event of this undertaking not being
performed, the bill is (by 3:d order) to be " taken off the
files of the Court without further order, the costs of the
defendant to be taxed, and to be recoverable as costs
between party and party are now recoverable from
the plaintiff or his solicitor." This stringent regula-
time will prevent any effort to evade the principle,
and will achieve the great desideratum of having all
such documents henceforward uniformly printed, so
that they can be consulted or referred to with the
greatest facility. The 4th, sth, and 6th rules
relate to the costs payable for instructions for
bills or claims, &c., for engrossing copies, briefs,
&c., which are fixed according to the very
moderate scale specified in the schedule. One
halfpenny per folio only being allowed for copies, of
which each defendant is only permitted to claim from
the plaintiff ten copies as a matter of right. One of
the chief advantages in the system of printing is that
copies can be multiplied to any extent, at a charge
very little beyond that of the paper on which they
are printed. We cannot, therefore, see the necessity
of limiting the number to be supplied, on adequate
payment, provided application be made before the
types be distributed.
The next series (to rule 11) relate to amendments,
which may be made by written alterations in the
printed bill or claim, and by additions on the pages
interlined, whenever, according to the present prac-
tice, an amendment may be made, without a new en-
grossment ; and a copy of these amendments is to be
served on defendant's solicitor, which should be
deemed good service on the defendant. None of
these orders, however, apply to bills or claims filed
before the Act came into operation. They neces-
sarily remain under the former practice.
It is to be regretted that the regulations with
respect to printing are limited to bills and claims;
aerdw.ers, affidavits, and other portions of the pro-
eugamay
still be engrossed. For the sake of
luniformity, it would have been exceedinglyf the Court

It would have been better had the examination taken

place before the judge;
but as it was decided other-
wise, the new rules, with respect to interrogatories
appear to have been framed in the spirit
of the Act, to prevent the unnecessary strin-
gency of the inquiries. The power of cross-examining
every witness who has made an affidavit in a cause is
also a very decided improvement, which will doubt
less be productive of the most beneficial results.

The new regulation with respect to the
for decrees or decretal orders, and al-0 for
the dismissal of bills for want of prosecution, and also
for adding to decrees, are all calculated to prevent the motion
vexatious delays that have heretofore given un unfor-
tunate notoriety to the name of " Chancery." Hence-
forward matters will proceed as rapidly as in
the common law courts. The orders will come into
operation on the 2d November, and will constitute
fitting
supplements to the salutary Act which re-
ceived the Royal assent on the Ist day of July last.

INARY SHIPMENT OF GOLD.--We have
received intelligence by the Overland mail of the dispatch
from Port Philip, on the 27th of May last, of the regular
trader Medway, belonging to Messrs. Marshall and Eldridge,
with a full cargo of wool, and the extraordinary quantity
of 66,051 oupces of gold. The litedway
abut, the middle of the mouth may be looked for

PORTUGAL.
At last the Government have adopted the wise
measure of making some important reductions in the
excessive rates of duties. For years every intelligent
person has pointed out the folly of maintaining duties
which only tended to encourage smuggling, or to im-
pede their manufactures by enhancing the cost of
articles of primary necessity. A great deal more must
be done before our just expectations shall be fulfilled;
but meanwhile we gratefully accept the boon as the
first step towards free trade. A few remarks will
suffice to demonstrate the wisdom of the change.
Silks were subjected to such enormous duties that it
was notorious that the revenue was constantly de-
frauded. Scarcely tt single case of :silk handkerchiefs
was dispatched through the Custom-house. Of lace,
only a few pounds paid duty in the course of the
year. Notwithstanding this, both these articles of
foreign manufacture could be readily purchased in
the shops. Articles of mixed materials hitherto
paid the higher rate of duty, even if they contained
only the smallest quantity of the more costly quality.
This cause of complaint is now removed, and they
will pay the duty on the predominant material of
which they are composed. It will be observed that no
change is made in cottons or woollens ; but as the
present.decree is merely part of the proposed modifi-
cations, it is to be hoped that those branches of Bri-
tish commerce will also be eventually benefited. In
the preliminary report of the tariff commission the
reasons for the alterations are stated with perspicuity,
and evince a right appreciation of the true principles.
They are applied first to the primary principles of
national industry, viz.:—
Iron, duty reduced to 10Ors., about 6d. per cwt.
Steel 70 200r9., about Is. „
Coal f SOrs., about 3d.
Sulphuric acid, reduced from Ils. to ls. 6d. per arroba.
Printing type 225. to 33.
19
Paper for printing „ 10s. to 43. 6d.
Ornamental paper 12s. to .ss.
ff
The Commissioners then proceed to deal with those
articles in which contraband trade was known to be
carried on to a great extent, and make considerable
reductions, viz.:—
