When the KING came out of Mrs. FITZIIEII,
BEET'S on Thursday last, some person, rather shabbily
dressed, went up to the carriage, as it left the door, and
presented a note to the servants, requesting them to give
it his Maatvry ? this not being complied with, the fel-
low pushed forward, and dropped the note into the car-
riage through the window. On another occasion, when his
111,a3srry was leaving Mailmen's, 'a person, respectably
attired, intruded into the passage, and put a letter in the
tirwo's hand. Although his MAJESTY did not evince any
displeasure, hut, on the contrary very good-naturedly took
the letter with him into the carriage, we ere assured that
lie is not pleased at being thus troubled in his drives about
the town, and such conduct roust, if persisted in, deter his
AIAJKIITY from so often appearing in public as otherwise
would be the case.—Brighton Gazette.

MRS. FITZHERBERT.—This lady, who once
exercised such an important influence on the fortunes of
the Prince of WALES, afterwards GEORGE THE FOURTH,
was so deeply affected when informed of his late Majesty's
death, that she has ever since been confined to her chamber,
very seriously ill—and, from her advanced age, and conse-
quent infirmities, her recovery is considered doubtful.
Her maiden name was &mu ; her father a Roman Ca-
tholic gentleman of an ancient and respectable family ; and
previously to her connection with the Prince alit had been
twice married ; on the firs► occasion, when only fifteen
years of age, to Mr. WEL% the proprietor Of Lulworth
Castle (the place assigned to the ex-King CHARLES X.
as a residence), who was desirous of an heir to his exten-
sive estates; in this, however, he was disappointed, for
he died without issue in less than a year after marriage,
and his estates passed to the possession of his brother
THOMAS, father of Da. WELD, whom the Pore has
lately invested with the dignity of Cardinal. The lady
was again married, before she had completed her twen-
tieth year, to Mr. FITEHERBERT, but in little snore than
three years she was again a widow, and remained single
until the period when the heir-apparent to the Crown
saw and was fascinated by her charms, thus ripened into
maturity. Her virtue, however, Was proof against the
temptations of becoming the mere mistress of 4 Prince,
and they were privately married, according to the forms
both of the Protestant and Catholic Church. The Ro-
man Catholic Priest who married them consulted his
safety by quitting England immediately afterward., and he
was well provided for in another country. A separation,
induced by prudential considerations, afterwards took
place; but there seems, notwithstanding, to have been a
strong mutual attachment ; and after the Prince's un-
happy marriage with, and separation from, the Princess
CAROLINE or BRUNSWICK, the connection was renewed.
The lady has for many years lived in comparative retire-
ment; she had an allowance of 6,000/. a year from the
KING, the continuance of which has been secured to her
upon his Majesty's death. She has been on terms of in-
timacy with most of the other members of the Royal
Family, both male and female, and has received from them
visits of condolence since the death of their Royal brother.

WORCESTER MUSICAL FESTIVAL, SEPT.I
14.—Tke 107th meeting of the three choirs of Worces-
ter, Gloucester, and Hereford, took place this wtek at
Worcester. The principal ringers engaged are Madame
MALIBRAN, Mrs. W. KNYVETT, Miss CRAMER, Messrs.
MADAM, VAUGMAN, W. KNYVETT, Plintars, E. TAY-
LOR, and Signor us Manta. The instrumental band,
led by F. Caastia, comprises Messrs. Loint.itv, DILA-
GOWITTI, WILLMAN, NICIIOLsON, PLATT, and Marla,
and consists of about sixty performers, and the chorus of
seventy. Mr. CLARKE, the organist of the cathedra), is
the conductor. The performance this morning is inci-
dental to the regular service of the church, its principal
feature being the matchless Dittengen Te ,Daum of
HANDEL ; and seldom have we heard it better performed.
The music which was introduced into the service consisted
of a kind of selected requiem, said to be " in comme-
moration of his late Most Gracious MaresTy," We pre.
sume this was decided upon immediately after his MA-
JESTY'S decease; it seemed rather late and out of place.
Dr. Boycs's imam, " Blessed is be," was more ap-
propriate, though rather tedious. The duet of " Here
shall sort Charity" (we speak with all respect for BoYcs's
memory) might be allowed a little repose, and it was
not in good taste to thrust it into an anthem which every
body felt to he too long. The sermon was presehed by
the Bishop of lioctieweert, who is Dean of Worcester
to hoot. The cathedral was filled with well-dressed
company; and in a temporary gallery on the side, the
Maus. of KENT and the Princess VICTORIA were among
the auditors,

FANCY SALE FOR TIIE NATIONAL

SCHOOLS.

On Satuiday last the fancy sale was held in the Rimini!,
and beautiful rums of the National School, in Church-

street, Brighten. It was honoured by the immediate
patronage of her MAJESTY, who has condescended to take
much interest in the establishment. Soon after twelve

o'clock, Church•street and part of the New-road, and
Rood-street, were crowded with carriages; and, notwith-
standing the rain which fell plentifully, those streets were
also thronged with great numbers of spectators. At half-
past twelve o'clock her MAJESTY, accompanied by the
Princess Aunus'rA, the Landgravine of IlEssal Homnunu,
Earl end Countess of Eason, Miss Furzet.AßENeF„ and
others of the Royal suite, arrived at the Schools in theil
carriages. Ac! OM the pavement and hall a scarlet cloth
was laid down. Her MAJESTY was received at the en-
trance by the Rev. H. M. WAGNER, Vicar, Sir litvrn
Scorr, Bart., the Rev. T. COOKE, and the Rev. T.
TaoeicE; and the Churchwardens, Mr. Coanv, Mr. T.
PALsica, and Mr. YEATES. The Royal party were first
conducted to the school-room, where the children were
assembled, who immediately sung the National Anthem.
The sale-room, when her MAirsTv entered, war filled by
persons of consequence•. The QUEEN walked up to the
various stalls, and entered into conversation with the flit.-
l'erent ladies who presided, snaking purchases, we believe.
of all of them. Her MAJESTY and suite then descended
the staircase, and entered the school-room below, escorted

by the Earl of Eattor., Sir Davtn Scorr, the Rev.
Arica R, and the Rev. T. Coma: ; nt the entrance her
Ntaaawry stopped a few minutes to view the children.
The QUEEN then advinced to the top of the room,
and for a short time took a seat on one of the forms
among the children. There was not the least appear-
ance of affect, d condescension in this; her MAJESTY
possessing the 'happy quality of being able to de-
scend to the mist ordinary incidents, without losing
her dignity for a moment. A lady, many years older
than her MAJESTY, accidentally dropping in the avenue
some article which lad been purchased, the QUEEN im-
mediately stooped, took it from the floor, and presented it
to the lady with that admirable affrhility of which her
MaJcsiv is so entirely mistress. The QUICEW then arose,
and walked down the avenue towards the entrance, there
entering again into conversation with several ladies and
gentlemen, occasionally looking round, and viewing the
children with evident marks of satisfaction. Her MA.
JESTY was dressed in a black silk gown, with gold brace-
let', and wore a' white silk bonnet with black and white
wreath, in her band was a small basket, containing a few
of the articles purchased. Some drawings, which the
Earl of ERROL carried, seemed to excite considerable
attention. Having again surveyed the children, her MA-
JESTY ascended the steps at the entrance of the room,
and proceeded down the stairs, through the hall, tr her
carriage. Each side of the stairs an I hall was lined with
Indies and gentlemen. On leaving the school-room her
MAJESTY graciously bowed to the persons around, and
returned the silent but affectionate salutations of those on

the stairs and in the ball, with her usual kindnes4 and
cande•rensiun.--Brighton Gazette.

On Tuesday week, as tile KING was taking
an airing befime breakfast on the Marine Parade, Brighton,
two officers of the -- Regiment made their obeisance;
his MAJESTY stopped, inquired where their regiments
were quartered, and, on receiving their answer, replied
very laconically, " It would be as well, Gentlemen, 1
think, if you were there too !" The t fleet of this pithy
reproof may he easily imagined.— IVindsor Express.—

LavEur ooL, SEPT. 14.—Our Right lion.
Representative, Mr. IlosussoN, appeared n 'Change
this morning, and was most cordially received by all par-
ties. He proceeded to the Exchange News•room, accom-
panied by Sir Joni.; TOBIN, Messrs. JOHN BouroN,
THOMAS larrt.EnaLE, Amara Hxywoon, and several
other most respectable gentlemen, where he delivered a
very excellent speech, thanking his constituents for the
handsome manner in which he had been returned as Re-
presentative for this large and populous borough (al-
though he was absent from indisposition); and he further
stated that he was an advocate for free trade to the East
Indies.

We can state, with the utmost confidence,
that the Ex-Ktno, u well as all the members of the
Bounnott family now at Lulworth, are unanimous in ac-
quitting his successor in having had the smallest share
in bringing about or aceeler,iting their catastrophe. On
the contrary, they one and all speak of the conduct of the
Duke of ORLEANS in terms of the highest commendation.

THE DUKE OF BRUNSWICK.—IIia Serene
Highness the Duke of Baustriwtcx, win, arrived in London
yesterday morning, proceeded (says a correspondent) in a
haehney-coach the same afternoon to the Colonial Office,
where, it was preowed, he announced his arrival.—
Shortly after he came out of the Office, he entered the
coach, sad drove off. In height his Highness is about
five feet ten inches, flat faced, and rather stout in person.

his robe came in contact with one of the candles that
lighted the pulpit, and unfortunately caught tire. His
Lordship having a glove in the other hand, instantly put
out the flume, happ►ly with little injury.
ENGLISH OPERA, ADELPIII TUEATRE,--•
Last night, the comic opera of the Marriage of Figaro
was played at this theatre, for the purpose of introducing
Mrs. Evatis, who has already made her successful debut
as Rolm:, in a new and more difficult character, that of
Susanna. Her voice is a soprano of greater compass than
any upon the boards at present, and her science is only to
he equalled by her execution. She possesses abilitiea
which, when sufficiently matured by experience, will enable
her to take a higher rank in genteel comedy than it usually
falls to the lot of operatic singers to maintain. She is very
pretty, and very lady-like, two qualities of vast consequence
to candidates for theatrical honours. Throughout the
piece her performance was highly applauded, and we have
now no doubt of her ultimate and deserved success in the
profession which she has chosen. Mrs. KEELEY played,
for the first time, the .1)on Juno of a page Cherubim),
and never have we seen it performed with more charming
humour and vivacity. She was much applauded. Miss
Ems, as the Countess Abnavira, was equally deserving
of approbation. In fact, as a whole, we never saw any
piece whatever so admirably sustained. The theatre was
crowded to the very ceiling.

meat of Greece, is a fabrication.—... Morning Paper.

The price of posting is reduced, we see, in

be general.

A recent writer, commenting an the too greet
tendency to useless end expensive litigation, thus rationally
accounts for it I.—" Were there," says he, " no other had

and will yield a just right; a third is sanguine, and cannot
suppose defeat ; while a fourth is proud, and will not ap-
pear to yield voluntarily."

pleasing, and there was an amiable gentleness in her voice
which was peculiarly interesting. Ireton IluNfa account
of her is not essentially dissimilar from any other that I

one respect, from every other ; in saying her hair was
yellow. Her destiny seems at present to promise that the

PARLIAMENTARY PAPER.

LAW OI: REAL PROPERTY.—Nn. XI.
SECOND REPORT OE Tim COMMISSIONERS.
(Continuedfrom our Paper of yetßerday.)

It may be objected to the plan, that easeft would
inmetimes occur of mistake as to the title nutlet

vhich land is held, and that the party referred to
he wrong title in the index, would not only fail of
)btaining the benefit provided by the Register as to
nrior estates and charges, but, after, registering his
conveyance, would remain liable to have the estate
acquired by it defeated by the subsequent acts of
the grantor; and that in the latter respect he would
be in a worse situation than that under. the present
law, which gives a purchaser a good title against the
subsequent acts of the persons under whom he claims.
Before we proceed. to the discussion of this objec-
tion, we may observe that under the present law
security against the subsequent acts of the grantor
is not universal. On the contrary, it very commonly
happens that a subsequent grantor is enabled to de-
'eat a party claiming under a prior conveyance by
getting in sin outstanding legal estate.
Under the present system, where no assistance is
afforded beyond the documentary evidence to which
the patty may have access, colnected with the facts,
as to possession and acts of ownership, it sometimes
happens that where the grantor holds different estates
tinder separate titles, and the property has been con-
eyed by general or imper'ect descriptions, there is
difficulty in distinguishing the title under which par-
ticular lands are held. This takes place not unfre-
quenly where an estate is made up of small pieces
()fluid acquired by put chase at different times. in
such cases, if due caution be not used in requiring
• the proper evidence of seisin in the party from whom
the title is supposed to be derived, the purchaser
may fail in the investigation, and may accept a title
not in fact relating to the estate. It is obvious
that here protection cannot be afforded by a Regis-
ter, the provisions of which must always apply to
the actual title ; under the existing system of regis-
tration, founded on alphabetical indexes of names,
there is necessarily the same want of protection
against prior registered deeds where the wrong title
has been made the subject of investigation; and this
liability to failure must exist under any other sr-
tem, unless the occurrence of mistake as to title
could be prevented by making it a condition to due
registration, that every description in a registered
document shall refer to some original description of
the land, by maps or otherwise, the objections to
which we have before stated ; hut upon the pro-
posed plan, the consequence to which we have be-
fore adverted would follow, that a grantee might be
defeated by parties claiming by subsequent convey-
ance from the grantor, registered with reference to
the real title.

It must therefore be considered, first, whether the
case of invalid registration, occasioned by mistake
as to title, will he likely to occur; and, secondly,
whether the operation of the Register, in cases of
failure, will he injurious.

We think that, after the establishment of the
Register, the order and connection as to title which
will be induced by the provision requiring registra-
tion i►► immediate connection, from time to ,time

with the anterior title, will render the occurrence of
circumstances under which the actual title could be
mistaken, extremely rare ; and provision may be
made for cases where there may be difficulty in de-
termining under which of two titles the estate is
held, by a power to index the document under the
symbol of one of the titles, mid to make a reference
from the other. Altogether we aro satisfied that,
with the ordinary diligence which must be expected
from persons who desire the security to title afforded
by law, the chance of failure will be extremely small.
We here take occasion to remark, that the laxity
which certainly exists as to compliance with the
provisions of the present Registers, is not to be ex-
pected after the establishment of a General Register,
upon the principles which, will so essentially alter
the nature of the security upon which title
to land rests. A strict attention to the provision.
of the Register will become one of the most im-
portant duties of persons intrusted with the business
of conveyancing, and there can be no reason for not
expecting from professional men, the same acquaints
ance with the provisions of the Register, and the
same exactions in practice with reference to regis-
tration, as are now necessary with regard to the
complicated machinery in use for the rotection of
titles, and the nice and perilous technicalities to
which minute attention is essential in the ordinary
proceedings for barring entails. Cases often occur
requiring an exact acquaintance with some of the •
most abstruse and difficult parts of the law of real
property, and there can be no question, that a far
less degree of skill and attention will be necessary
for compliance with the provisions of the Register.
Admrting, however, that cases of mistake as to
the real title will sometimes arise after the establish-
ment of the Register, it is to be considered whether
this occasions any real ground of objection to the plan.
The evil at present is the frequent occurrence, in
every title, of opportunities for the intervention of
fraud or mistake ; in every step of the title a deed
tnay have been suppressed or overlooked; no con-
trivance or skill is required for the commission of the
fraud ; every man understands that a settlement or
charge interferes with alienation, and that the
diffi-
culty will be removed by suppressing the deed; yet,
with the constant opportunities thus afforded, and
the facility with which frauds may be committed,
and the risk which must always be incurred, of a
settlement or charge having been overlooked, the
instances in which purchasers are prejudiced are
• comparatively so rare, that some persons have con-
' sidered the danger not of sufficient importance to
cull for the establishment of it Register. But in
order to produce's case in which, after the establish-
ment of a Register, the title acquired by a purchaser
or mortgagee could be prejudiced subsequently by
the fraud of the vendor or mortgagor, when the
title has been mistaken, a concurrence of several

circumstances must happen. It must be supposed
that the descriptions in the deeds relating to estate
A. held under a registered title, have general words
which might have included estate 8.,0r that the
descriptions are of such a nature as to dmit of their
application to estate IL That upon the sale or
mortgage of estate 8., the title to estate A. is

offered, instead of that to estate 13,, and that the
purchaser or mortgagee accepts the title without
requiring proper evidence of the seisin of estate 8.,
by the party from whom a title is derived, through
general or imperfect descriptions ; that. the wrong
title was offered to the purchaser or mortgagee in
consequence of knowledge in the vendor or mort-
gagor of some defect 10-the real title, or for the pur-
pose of enabling the vendor or mortgagor to defraud
a subsequent purchaser or mortgagee (a case of
prospective fraud which we believe scarcely ever
happens), or that the vendor or mortgagor after-
, wards discovers that a mistake has been made, and
ascertains the real title, and (except in the above-
mentioned case of prospective fraud, which implies
legal skill) that the vendor or mortgagor him suffi-
cient knowledge to be aware of the legal effect of
the state of circumstances, or that the opportunity
for fraud is suggested to him by a professional per-
son. It must, we think, be admitted, that such a
case could not often occur. And if the actual infre-
quency of fraud with reference to the many cases
where at present opportunities for it are afforded, be
applied to the few cases in which, after the establish-
ment of a Register, the state of circumstances before
adverted to will arise, the risk is so reduced that we
think it may safely be disregarded.
The same reasoning applies to the case of a sob-
! seqoent disposition by the vendor or - mortgagor
through mistake.
The danger most to be apprehended when the
title has been mistaken is that et a disptisition
under general words, without an intention to affect
particular lands which have been before disposed of.
nisi might be met by a provision denying effect,
against registered deeds, to a Conveyance of pro-
perty.not sufficiently specified to show an intention
thatit should pass. If a party, After having sold
particular lands, makes a conveyance with general
words, such as " all the [midi of the said (grantor)"

it is obvious that the effect of these words, inde-
pendently of the provisions of the Register, would
not extend to the lands before sold, and fug the
aresumption must be that these were not in the
!ontemplation of the parties.
To what extent the provisionwy have last lug-
'rested
may be carried without inconvenience, will
be a subject for consideration. We will bereremerk
that we think some restriction as to the effect of ge-
neral words in a conveyance of lands very desirable
with reference to title generally. This is a question
to which our attention will be particularly directed.
The conclusion we draw is that the possibility, or
even probability of occasional failure, in complying
with the requisites to due registration (which muse
exist, we apprehend, in a greater or Jess degrees
under any system which could be adopted) does not
create an important objection to the plan, even if it
were admitted that the consequence of a failure in
registration, followed by a disposition by the grantor
in derogation of his conveyance, would he ittcon-
%latent with the general object of the Register.
But we think that in such a case the operation of
the Register would be in accordance Kith stri, t
principle. We will take the case (which we con-
sider the only one which can be contemplated) or
mistake as to the real title under which the land is
held. A. having two estates, B. and C. produces
to D. an intended mortgagee of estate 8., 010 title
deeds ;elating to estate C. D. does Hot dile
cover the fraud or mistake, that is, ha fails in
requiring proper evidence that the title deeda
produced apply to the land proposed as, a sel,
curity ; he accepts the title and registers under the
symbol oldie title C. A.afterwards mortgagesor pens
estate B. to 8., having produced to him the title
deeds to that estate, and E. registers under the
proper symbol. It is evident that as between D.
and B. the latter is the person to whom protection
ought to be afforded, both upon general principles
and the scheme of the proposed Register; E. has
failed in nothing. The title which he has scripted
is a perfect one, unless affected by a suppressed IL»
strument, and against the danger of suppression the
Register protects him. Without the protection af-
forded by the Register the lose would fall on 4.—
The Register shifts the loss from the party .who
has used due diligence, and to whom no neglect or
mistake con be imputed to the party who has failed
in his investigation, and, from want of caution or
otherwise, has accepted a wrong title. The ohjec-
don must, therefore, be confined to this, that the
Register does not prevent the possibility of a party
mistukiug the title, and thereby failing to obtain the
benefits intended to be afforded to purchasers.
The conclusions at which we arrive are—

Ist. The requisites to a valid registration upon
the proposed plan are so few and simple, that, nail
proper checks in the office, it is almost impossible
that error should occur, except in eases of nistaku
its to title.

2dly. The provisions as to registration would ins
duce such order and connection in the deduction of
title, that cases of mislake of title would very rarely
occur after the establishment of the Register:

:Idly. Instances in which, by fraud or mistake,
lands are dealt with without disclosing a prior con-
veyance or charge are found to be so rare, that the
chance of such a concurrence of circumstances. as
would he necessary for a CM of actual 10411 to arise,
is infinitely small ; and,
‘lthly. That in the possible case of a concurrence
of circumstances in which loss would accrue, the
operation of the Register would be beneficial in giving
preference to the party who ought to be preferred.

We think it tveful to make a summary statement
of the principal benefits which we conceive will he
produced ►mmediately or consequentially by a Gene
ral Register established on the plan detailed in this
Report.
Ist. Titles will be rendered secure against the
fraudulent suppression of documents, and against
their non-production through ignorance, mistake, or
accident.

2d. Titles will be simplified; legal estates in
trustee will not be kept on foot and transferred after
the purposes of their creation shall have been an-
swered; thus there will be only one title to an estate
instead of many
3d. Titles will not be exposed to the present-hal
zard, from the equitable doctrine of notice.
4th. Titles will not be liable to be defeatedb
subsequent acts of third parties.
6th. Titles will not be liable to be' defeated irt
consequence of the loss or destruction of dociiMents.
601. Forgery deeds will become more perilous.
7th. The difficulty and expense of giving deeds
in evidence in Courts of Justice will be greatly di-
minished.

Bth. Attempts at fraud by concealing prior estates
and incumbrances ; attempts at forgery of deeds;
and attempts at supporting and defeating claima
ty false testimony, will be prevented or materially
checked.

9Lh. Titles will cease to be unmarketable from the
owners not being able to produce or secure the fu-
ture production of the title deeds.
10th. Equitable and secondary estates will be-
come marketable.

Ilth. The danger both to purehacete mid sellers
of entering into contracts without previous minute
acquaintance with the tide will be materially dimi-

niAlied,

12th. Both the delay and expense unending the
investigation of titles previous to the completion of
contracts will be materially diminished; abstracts
will be shortened; there will be no tracing of colla-
teral titles; no search after documents; no expense
in procuring their production. These are now the
chief causes of delay and expense in the transfer of
real property.
13th. The expenses attending conveyance will be
materially ditnimshed; deeds will be shortened and
they will be lessened in number' such deeds At al.
eignments of satisfied terms, and covenants for pro-
duction of title-deeds will become unnecessary ;
copies of deeds will be required to much less extent,
and when required, will be furnished eta eheaper rate.
14th, Many causer of litigation es to tines, and
as to the performance of connects, ausi as to the
possession and the production of deeds, end Aft to
the necessary deeds of conveyance end the partici*
to them, will be avoided.
