must he applied to this evil. Nohiitlistanding,
therefore, that tire motion made-last night in the

House of Commons for the production of the evi-
dence hketi before the Come.iiSSionerS' now sitt-
ing on this Subject, was lost, the discussion will
have the good effect of showing the enormities of
the Court, and fixing its misdeeds in stronger
characters on the public mind. . Every Ori'y that
the Report of this Commission is 'withheld,
-e‘iery day that the evils it is producing go
unrernoved, .Will only add to the feeling, and
must end in pulling down this " Inquisition"
with all its powers and all its Oppressions. Out
of its ashes a Court may be erected whose practice
shall be conducted on sounder principles of
justice. We do not complain of the Officers of
the Court, but we cry out against its system, and
lift up our voice against the abominations that are
perpetrated under its sanction and its protection ;
we cry out against the horrible injustice that is
inflicted upon the country in the' name of Equity,
and the Oppressive exercise- of powers that the
Constitution has denied to the King, but which
the practice of this Court places at the disposal of
any man who chooses to-seek for them. It is an
Odious Court, and so .eVil and corrupt that ❑o
gOod can be derived frOm any plan built upon its
foundatio►i- 'the system is not bad in part and
good in part, it is altogether bad ; from the very
filing of the bill to the executing the decree, there
is no one single good point in the practice—it all
tends to oppress and ruin. The Commissioners,
now pursuing their inquiries on this subject, have
had time enough to do something, and certainly,
therefore, the public was entitled to request some
little information -on a point in which they were
so deeply interested. It would have tended to
have quieted their fears and to allay the irri-
tation the discussion has excited. As decided
enemies, however, to the Court of Chancery, we
feel rather rejoiced than otherwise at the issue of
last night's motion, because it will increase the
hostility of the country towards the Court,and con-
firm their opinionsof its oppressive and evil tenden-
cy. The more these opinions are confirmed, the
stronger the public hostility becomes, so much
the greater is the probability that. the remedy
when it is accorded (and come it will), will be
adequate to the extent of the evil it is proposed
to cure. The Court of Exchequer, on the equity
side, is just as bad as the CoUrt of Chancery,
and we presume, although_ not mentioned, it
will be included in any alteration that may be
introduced.

It seems that the promoters of the Liverpool
and Manchester Railway are endeavouring to cover their defeat
as they endeavoured to prop up their case, by misstatement
and' misrepresentation.' A Morning Paper._ of this day statei,
that the Pill was lot in the Committee by a majority of four,
which was made up by the attendance of four individuals who
had never before Appeared there. This statement is wholly
false. The majority against the Bill was nine, and amongst
them were Mr. ROBERT GORDON and Mr. CALCRAFT, jun.
who attended daily in the Committee, and took a very promi-
nent part in its proceedings in favour -Of the measure, but who
were satisfied by the evidence that it did
,not deserve, and could
not in justice receive, the sanction of the Legislature. An illus-
trious instance-of a Member's voting, without having attended
the meetings of the Committee did certainly occur ; but the
party was no ether than-Mr. JOSEPii HUME, who, having at-
tended one
.day out of twenty-nine for three minutes, did take
upon himself, without having heard either evidence or- the ar-
guments of Counsel, to vote in favour of the Bill. So much
for the consistency of .this active, candid, and modest Gen-
tleman.

DEATH OF THE DEAN OF CANTEititutt-T.—We
regret to announce the death of the. Very Reverend GEIITtAR.D
ANDREWES, F.S.A. Dean of Canterbury, and Rec-
tor of St. James's, Westminster. This melancholy event
took place, on Thursday evening, at the Rectory House of St.
James's. Dr. Andrewes, was appointed to the Deanery of
Canterbury, in 1809 ; after having been, for some time pre-
vious, Rector of St. James's. As a preacher, his talents,
were highly appreciated, in London : this was amply testified,
by the crowded, as well as fashionable, congregations, which,
every Sunday, when it was known he was to preach; filled St.
James's church. To his merit as a preacher, indeed, and to
the high respectability, of his character ; he was indebted for
the living of St. James's, which was given: to hint by Dr.
Porteus, the then Bishop of London, without any previous
personal acquaintance, From the same, causes also Dr. An-
drewes, was, through the influencoof Mr. Perceval, the Prime
Minister in 1809, promoted to the Deanery of Canterbury.—
This eminent station was fille-41 by Dr. Andrewes, in a
,manner highly to his credit; prosing,biniself, in -every. way,
_Worthy, of the preferm'ents, which had been conferred upon
COmpelled to remain in .London, after going
ni there,_
Soe.titue since, to obtain medical advicel the latter years of
life, were_ unhappily clouded, by.intirMity,.and ill health;
'Which prevented' him 'from personally attending to the duties
of his situations.. Dr. Andrewes was in the 76th, year of his
Age Kentfrh, Gazette.)
