The Earl of. DERBY said he had heard that a gentleman
named L,:..;,ey, a Montreal merchant, had arrived at Bos-
ton b,, a British passenger ship, and before he left the
vessel, it was boarded, and be was seized by a
United States' officer and imprisoned. There was no
cause assigned for his arrest, and after a period of ten
days he was liberated, on the 6th of June, without any
cause assigned either for his imprisonment or liberation.
He wished to know if any information on the subject had
reached the noble earl the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs; and, if so, whether reparation had been demanded
by him, or voluntarily offered by the United States ?
Earl RUSSELL said he did not find in any of Lord
Lyons' despatches any reference to the case. Perhaps the
next despatch might contain something; if it did not he
would write to Lord Lyons on the subject,

TION BILL,

The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second read •
ing of this bill. It was, he thought, a very important
measure, because the mode of remuneration at present in
practice was thoroughly objectionable, and quite irrespec-
tive of the labour to be performed. The skilled practitioner
was paid in precisely the same way as those of very small
ability, and neither party were able to make contracts for
certain work. Such an arrangement was very inconve-
nient, as it led to many evils, and he thought the time
had now arrived when such a state of things
should be put an end to. The system of copying and
drawing deeds by folio led to verbiage, the very parent of
litigation; and the object of the present bill was to enable
a lawyer to make a contract with his client to any given
work for a certain price, The present object was to eman-
cipate the lawyer—to emancipate the client, and the result
would be, that business would be facilitated, and what was
done would be accomplished much quicker than was now
the practice, with fewer faults and with more certainty.
(1. EFT SPEAKING.)

E. Hounsell is truthful and honest, very clean in her person
and work. She can both wash and iron exceedingly well,
and is capable of doing house work of any kind if she gives
her mind to it. I think she is fond of children. If you
engage her I trust she will endeavour to be all you would
desire her to be. She is strong and healthy and teachable.
