and convenience, the Noble and Learned Lord ex-
plained with a persuasion which has lost nothing
,nr
its tree by his being transplanted to his present' se.
uat on. Lord Lyndhurst said if, when he examined
the details, he approved of the measure, which :he
con4dered to meditate a radical alteration in the ju-
dicature of the country, he would give it his zealous
support. 'The Bill was read a first time, and ordered
to be printed; and, whatever may be its ultimate
fate„ it must be satisfactory to the public to know
that the Legislature are at length beginning to feel
that' the system of our practical jurisprudence, with.
its imperfections, crudities, fictions, and anomalies,
requires some revision—a conviction to which the
mind of every reflecting man out of doors had been
long since led. It is auspicious for amendment that
a system which was bepraised not long since by a
XX-Chancellor, is now openly assailed by an actual,
and not defended by an Ex-Lord Chancellor.—

We gave yesterday a brief account of the re-
election of Mr. It. Grant for Norwich ; and in The
Sun of yesterday we find the speech delivered by
that Right Honourable Gentleman at a dinner of
his friends to celebrate his return—a speech so re-
plete with hottest enthusiasm, and just thought, and
so fraught with that energetic eloquence which dis-
tinguishes even his unpremeditated efforts, that
though merely an election speech, we should, had
our limits permitted, have presented it entire to our
readers. As ids 'we have only room for two brief
estraets from it. The first regards the Ministry
With which he is now connected, and respecting
which he observes, with greut justice, that
" The course of improvement on which they are en-
tering is arduous. They will have much to do ;ad much
to endure. They will 'have to contend with Many ad-
•verse feelings and adverse, interestl. Even among those
who may be generally friendly to their designs, obstacles
will be apposed to them ;—by the weakness of some, and
the unsteadiness of others ;—by the rashness of political
projectors on the one hand, and the bigotry of political
antiquarians on the other. Nay, they may expect to
meet those honest errors e‘en among some of their best
supporters, those

" FeJra of the brave, and follies of the wise,"
which are too often found to impede the execution of de-
signs of magnitude and complexity.
" Do I say all this, however, with a view of palliating
by anticipation—or, still worse, of indirectly encouraging
remissness on the part of his Majesty's Government? Far
otherwise. I would have them brace themselves up to
struggle with the difficulties I have alluded to ; difficulties
which, if properly encountered, will only enhance their
triumph. My advice to them, were I permitted to gi►e
them advice, (which, if they want it, they will receive
from far better prompters)--would be this :-4 In your
principles, be decided--in your professions, be honest—
in your plan., be wary—hut, in action, strive as for life
and fur death,' "—(Loud and long cheers.)
There is nothing in these sentiments but what
must commend itself to the conviction of every one
who knows any thing of the State of parties—of the
adverse 'interests to be conciliated, and of the num-
berless difficulties to be overcome, by any British
Government which, like the present, professes to
desert the beaten truck of its predecessors, and to
march boldly, but wisely, in the path of reform ; but
there is much in them to justify a call for that
indulgence and forbearance on the part of the
people, of which a Government so situated, ao
entangled, so liable to be crossed by friends and foes
in its plans for the public weal, stands so greatly in
need, and which, in fact, it is only bare justice to it,
and to the cause which it has determined to promote,
to accord. Mr. Grunt accordingly lays down the
duty of the people towards those now in power,
with equal felicity, as he describes the duty of the
Government to them and to itself

" Judge," said he, " with constitutional jealousy of the
intentions of the Ministry; this is your duty ;—but, if
satisfied on good evidence, that they are really sincere
and single-hearted,—then recollect that candour and for-
bearance on your part, while their measures are iu pro-
gress, is sot matter of indulgence, but of justice. Justice
—not merely to the individuals concerned,—but to your-
selves and the cause you have at hearL—For be assured
that abuses are not to be overcome, nor a series of reforms
to be effected, unless those who undertake the work, are
sustained and encouraged •in the course of it, by the sup-
port and good opinion of the people."
Such, we are confident, will be the conduct of all
rational minded people towards the new Ministry.
They know the difficulties with which it has to con.
tend, and they will not drive it by their rashness
into the adoption of undigested measures; they feel
that it has much to overcome—that it has staked its
existence, as a Ministry, on the pursuit of a certain
definite line of policy, and on the accomplishment of
certain reforms--.and they will, therefore, uphold it
by their confidence,
whilst it continues to give evi-
dence of its sincerity, cod cheer it by their applause,
until it has enabled them to redeem their pledges to
the country, or shown that it has neither the power
nor the wish to do ao.—Morning Advertiser.
In the House of Lords, last night, the Chancel-
lor Lord Brougham brought forward his Bill for
the better administration of Justice in England and
%Vales. In u speech of great ability his Lordship
explained the proposed measure, the scope and
tendency of which is similar to that he submitted
to the House of Commons last Session, and whiph
he revived in the commencement of the present.
His object is the establishment of local jurisdictions
throughout the country with a view to obviate the
delay and exposure incurred by suitors under the
existing system. For the details and the very
plausible argument by which the proposition is sup-
ported, we can ut present only refer our readers to
our Report. On the occasion of the measure being
proposed last Session we suited our reIiSOMB for be.

lieving that this imposing theory could not be reduc.
ed to salutary preetioe, and we shall take an early op..
rttu of reverting to the subject. That it is a
measure not likely to be approved by the Noble and
Learned Lords, Members of the Upper House, in
which it is now introduced, seems evident from the
frank avowal of Lord Brougham, that in proposing
it he does not act by concert with his colleagues,
none of whom he has consulted ; be bus brought it
forward as " a simple Member of Parliementj" it
must therefore be regerded ties emanating entirely

now presents itself for judgment before the tribunal
hest quelitied to pronounce upon the question; and
where there are assembled lawyers so eminent to,
the Lords Eldon, Lyndhurst, Tenterden, .Wynford,
with Many other Noblemen whose pursuits through-
out the greater part of their lives have been con-
nected with the administration of the laws of the
land, we may safely rest and rely with confidence
upon the wiedont nod justice of their decision.—

We have more than once felt it our duty point-
edly to observe upon the dangers likely to arise to-
the Established Church from the present Lord
Chencellori who hes so repeatedly declared himself
against all her institutions, having in his gift so
great a portion of the Livings throughout the
country. We are happy to find that our observe,.
Hone have not been thrown away upon the Noble
and Learned Lord; for his Lordship, it is positively
stated, has resolved to leave all the Livings hereto-
fore in the gift of the Lord Chancellor ut the dis-
posal of the several Bishops in whose dioceses they
