A A des liory diantsioli arose, whiCh o:vaulted by $

division, in which the House negatived the amendment
by 72 to 49.
In Committee, discussions took place upon several of
the clauses, and the House having proceeded as far as
the eighth clause, the Chairman reported progress.
The other orders cf the day were then disp ed of,
and the House adjourned.

Our impression of yesterday contained the melan-
choly intelligence of the demise of the Earl of COTT EN-
ram, for many years Lord High Chancellor of Eng
land. The Noble and Learned Lord finally retired
from the woolsack in the month of June last, having
for some time previously been incapacitated by ill
health from presiding in the Court of Chancery.
There can be no doubt that he fell a victim to the
zeal and assiduity with which, while his health
lasted, he discharged the arduous and mul-
tifarious duties of his exalted office. For
several months past he has been endeavouring to
restore his shattered constitution, which had been
completely destroyed by the almost superhuman
labour required at his hands. He visited Malta and
Italy for that purpose, and a temporary improvement
gave hope to his numerous and attached friends that
his valuable life might be prolonged. But the expec-
tation was vain ; he gradually sunk, and eventually
breathed his last at Pietra Santa, in the Grand Duchy
of Lucca, on the 29th ultimo—another victim
to the system which has been so loudly and
justly complained of, but for which the Bill now before
Parliament and the country would afford no adequate
remedy ; for we may venture to assert that it was not
the labour of dispensing his ecclesiastical patronage
that injured his health, or compelled him to send in
his resignation.
The Noble Lord sprung from an ancient family,
=any of whom had filled high situations. He was
a lineal descendant of the garrulous and en-
tertaining Secretary of the Admiralty, whose
amusing diary is so well known throughout
the entire country. Another of his progenitors had
attained high legal rank, being appointed Lord Chief
Justice of Ireland in 1664, shortly after the restora-
tion. WILLIAM WELLER PEPYS, the great-great-
grandson of the Chief Justice, married the eldest
daughter of the Right Hon. WILLIAM DOWDESWELL,
a well-known public character in the eighteenth
century, and by her had several children, the second
son being CHARLES CHRISTOPHER PEPYS, the
subject of the present notice, who was born
on the 29th of April, 1781, and died on the
71st anniversary of his birth. Mr. WILLIAM WELLER
PEPYS, after having practised as a barrister for some
years, was appointed to the lucrative office of Master
in Chancery, and in 1801 received the title of a Baronet
of the United Kingdom, with remainder to the heirs
male of his body. A similar distinction had pre-
viously, in 1784, been conferred on his brother, Sir
Lucas PEPYS, Physician-General to the Army, and
Physician in Ordinary to his late Majesty GEORGE
the THIRD. The Noble Lord eventually in-
herited both these titles—the former in 1845,
on the death of his elder brother, the latter, in 1849,
on the death of his cousin, but not until after he had
acquired for himself the higher distinction of the
Peerage through his own meritorious exertions.
As he was intended by his father for the bar, his
education was conducted chiefly with that object.
He entered as a student at Trinity College, Cam-
bridge, and received a respectable degree (not being
a candidate for honours) in 1803, at the same ex-
amination when Baron PARKE and Justice COLERIDGE
obtained high wranglerships. In the following
year (Michaelmas, 1804), he was called to the bar
by the Honourable S,:ciety of Lincoln's Inn, and im-
mediately entered upon the practice of his laborious
profession. The Noble Lord from the very com-
mencement of his professional career exhibited that
unceasing industry essential to success. He had also

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
M. P. Leceoix, Director-General of Civil Affairs
n Algeria in June, 1848, has written to the Presse
,o say that General CHANGARNIER was a stranger to
,he publication, iu Algiers, of the announcement to
,he effect that the Executive Commission of Five had
been replaced by one of three, which was reproduced
by that journal yesterday. From M. LACROIX'S
statement, it appears that the captain of the steamer
the Sphynx, on arriving at Algiers, on the 19th June,
stated to the Governor-General 6HANGARNIER, and
other eminent personages, that, just before his de-
parture from Marseilles, he had seen a placard stuck
up, announcing the receipt of the news by tele-
graph of the replacing of the Executive Commis-
sion. This was communicated by the Governor-
General to M. LACROIX, and, as the elec-
tions were to take place the next day, M. LACROIX
thought it important that the public should know it.
He accordingly directed one of his employes to an-
nounce it iu the Illoniteur ; but this person, instead
of simply stating how the news had come, made the
mistake of saying that " it had been received by tele-
graph by the Governor. General." The next steamer
which arrived from France, five days later, brought
intelligence that the news was false; and M. Lecaoix
immediately published a notification to that effect.
In addition to these explanations, M. Lecaoix de-
clares formally, on his honour, that rio dispatch of
the kind referred to was ever received by the Go-
vernor-General. Thus has the thrice-refuted ca-
lumny, originally invented by EMILE DE GIRARDIN
against Generals CAVAIGNAC and CRANGARNIER,
again received an authoritative contradiction. The
Corsaire, in noticing this attempt of EMILE
DRG'IRARDIN to revive the calumny, declares that
he is mad ; and adopting Emiee's own formula, that
he who does not deny avows, says that, unless a for-
mal denial is given, it shall conclude that the fact of
his madness is admitted by himself.
The Gazette des Tribunaux states that a judicial
investigation is to be made to discover the persons who
spread on the Bourse the false report of an insurrec-
tion having taken place at Lyons. The Penal Code
(article 419) punishes with from a month to a year's
imprisonment, all those who, by false statements,
may have effected a rise or all of the public funds.
The Gazette adds that severe measures of police are
about to be organised at the Bourse.
The Minister of the Interior, yesterday, attended
the sitting of the Committee on the proposition of M.
BARE, for interdicting the sale of journals in the
public streets. The Minister opposed the proposi-
tion, and, in support of his opinion, stated that the
sale with the authorisation of the Government was
attended with no inconvenience, and that the result
of the interdiction would have the effect of depriving
from 1,800 to 2,000 persons of the means of existence.
The Committee requested the Alinister to give some
explanation as to the sale of journals in the reading-
rooms and booksellers' shops, as well as what took
place in the departmeets with regard to them, which
he promised to give at an early sitting.
The Bulletin de Paris says—
" We have reason to believe that M. de Falloux, who
returned to Paris the day before yesterday, will vote for
the revision, and advise his friends to do the same,"
The 20th Committee on Parliamentary Initiative
bas had submitted to it a proposition by M. AVERY
(du Nord), relative to the completion of the rail-
ways already commenced, and the construction of
new lines. This proposition advocates the construc-
tion and working of all railways by the State, but‘per-
mits their being adjudged for a period of nine years.
He also proposes the creation of railway bonds to the
amount of 382 millions, receivable at the public
offices, and which may be changed for cash at special
offices ; these bonds to be paid off by means of a
sinking fund. This resource may, says the proposi-
tion, be combined with successive loans to the amount
of 101 millions.
The Ordre contains the following announcement
of a project for getting up in Paris a General Exhi-
bition, on the plan of the one in London :—" The
project of an Exhibition of Manufactures in Paris
still occupies the attention of a number of persons.
Assuming an initiative which the Government ap-
pears decidedly to have abandoned, M. HOREAU, the
architect to whom we are indebted for the gigantic
project of the Halles, is to present, either to-day or
to-morrow, to the PRESIDENT of the Republic some
plans which be has just drawn out. The Exhibition,
he proposes, should take place in July next. The
architect would, it is said, cover in a part of the
Champs Elyst;e for this purpose. The expense of this
colossal enterprise--two millions is spoken of—might,
he thinks, be raised by a subscription opened in France
and in neighbouring countries. It remains to be
ascertained whether the idea will be comprehended
in our country, and whether he will find in the arts,
in industry, and in commerce, that support which is
indispensable to him."
The improvtment in the price of public securities
which took place at the Bourse on Tuesday was not
maintained. The Five per Cents. opened at 91f. 10c.,
but fell subsequently to 90f. 35c., at which price
they closed. The Three per Cents. closed at 561. 5c.;

recently so entirely desperate as the graduated dimi-
nution of promotions among all ranks of the cora-
-1 missioned officers in the sea service, from the admirals
and captains to the commanders and lieutenants. -
Without reverting in Coto to the scale of numbers
found adequate for the interests of the maritime pro-
fession during the great wars which raged in the
high seas until the crowning triumph of Trafalgar,
the Admiralty have so far approximated the future
list to the past as to bring the evil complained of into
something like reasonable proportions. Instead, for
example, of maintaining the catalogue of flag-officers
to a gross total of 150, they purpose diminishing the
amount to ninety-nine. Instead of insisting upon
keeping up the captains to 500, they will be satisfied
with 350. Instead of cherishing the enormous and
most unnecessary number of 828 commanders, they
will rest contented with 450; while they suggest
that 1,200 lieutenants will be amply sufficient for all
the requirements of the service in lieu of the 2,147
as hitherto. "My Lords," says the letter given in
our last impression, speaking succinctly and to the
purpose, " propose to reduce the active list ultimately
to 100 admirals, 350 captains, 450 commanders, and
1,200 lieutenants." With this widely considered re-
duction held perpetually before them as the goal to
be arrived at ulteriorly, the Admiralty cannot fail, we
should imagine, to satisfy before long the dearest
hopes of the financial innovators. Beholding their
efforts in the desired direction, the aspirant for im-
provement i❑ the naval profession will simultaneously
feel gratified by a movement which must necessarily
tend to concentrate the energies of the service with-
i❑ limits calculated to render the maritime force most
efficient, and in every imaginable way most satis-
factory. Heretofore the endeavour seems to have
been somewhat mistakingly to diffuse the strength of
the most truly national of our warlike professions so
as to diminish its collective vigour, and by this
means to retard, if not altogether to prevent, its de-
velopment. Against the obvious tendency of the old
system until now maintained at the Admiralty, we
ourselves have inveighed repeatedly, without however
perceiving even the faintest indication of any inclination
to concede on the part of the constituted authorities.
It is consequently with no small amount of satisfac-
tion that we have glanced our eyes over the pro-
gramme of reform sketched out for their own
guidance by the administrators in the naval depart-
ment of the Government. In that programme, despite
one or two lamentable deficiencies, are discoverable
enough reason for self gratulation sufficient to render
it singularly acceptable to us, and such, we doubt
not, as must render it equally acceptable to those
who have sympathised in our aspirations through all
parts of the United Kingdom. Even with the dimi-
nution indicated as above, an ample margin will still
remain for the filling up of all the exigencies which can
by possibility occur. With 100 admirals, 350 captains,
450 commanders, and 1,200 lieutenants, there will
assuredly be officers more than sufficient for any
emergency whatsoever, and no such reason for com-
plaint on the part of financial reformers, or, in other
words, of the mass of the population generally, as
existed when, as at present, the navy list numbered
no less than 150 admirals, 492 or nearly 500 captains,
828 commanders, and 2,147 lieutenants. At the out-
set of the proposed change, the reduction will, as the
Admiralty document distinctly intimates, be merely
a transfer from the active list to the permanent half-
pay ; but, say the authorities, "as lives drop, the
number on the permanent half-pay will diminish, and
the expenditure for the deadweight decrease." A
consideration of no very unsatisfactory kind, seeing
that the people have such few opportunities of looking
forward to any similarly large reductions.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC,

the advantage of obtaining the assistance of Mr.
Two, author of the well-known " Practice," and
subsequently of Sir SAMUEL ROMILLY. He
did not, however, achieve a rapid success, but
was compelled to struggle on, slowly and
gradually, overcoming the difficulties of the course.
At this period he acquired the character cf a sound
and painstaking, but not very eloquent advocate.
As it was, however, known that he threw his entire
heart and soul into the cause of his client, and was
always thoroughly prepared with the facts of every
case in which he was engaged, and the state of
the law applicable to these facts, he obtained a
fair share of business, and achieved a respectable,
although not first-rate position in his profession. fit.
continued devoted to its duties for many years, and
it was not until June, 1821, when he had
entered into his 41st year, that he entered into a ma-
trimonial alliance with Miss CAROLINE ELIZABETH
WINGFIELD, daughter of WILLIAM WINGFIELD, Esq.,
Master in Chancery, an office from which he only re-
cently retired. By this lady, to whom he was a de-
voted and exemplary husband, and with whom he
enjoyed the greatest domestic felicity to the last hour
of his existence, he has left a numerous family, six
sons and three daughters still surviving.

In Michaelmas, 1826, when he had been steadily
working at the outer bar for twenty-two years, he
received a silk gown, and was shortly afterwards
elected a Bencher of Lincoln's Inn. In 1830, he waa
appointed Solicitor-General to the late Queen ADE-

LAIDE, an office which he filled until 1834, when
be was appointed Solicitor-General of England on
the resignation of Sir WILLIAM 11ORNE, and the pro-
motion of Lord (then Sir Jousi) CAMPIn,LL to the
Attorney-Generalship. On the death of Sir JOHN
LEACH, in the same year, he was appointed Master of
the Rolls, and shortly afterwards First Commissioner
of the Great Seal, on the resignation of
Lord BRouGuam. His judgments in this capacity
gave the highest satisfaction, and led to his further
elevation to the Peerage and the 'Woolsack in 1836.
He most efficiently discharged the duties of this the
highest status in his profession, the greatest prize
that can fall to the lot of a subject, until the resigna-
tion of the Whig Ministry, in 1841, when he went
out with his colleagues, being succeeded by Lord
LYNDHURST. In 1846 be agsin was entrusted
with the Great Seal, which he held until June,
1850, when, as we have already mentioned, his state
of health compelled his retirement.
The Noble Lord afforded another illustration of
the rule that it is not always the most brilliant

advccate that makes the soundest judge. Al-
though, as we have stated, he was never
remarkable for his eloquence, or achieved extraordi-

nary success as a practitioner, no man ever gained

greater laurels on the bench ; and his decisions wil

long be regarded as precedents of the highest authority,
as models fJr the imitation of his successors. In

politics he was ever a steady and consistent Liberal.
Although no great legal reforms were introduced

under his auspices, the omission may be ascribed

rather to the overwhelming nature of his various

duties, that pre-occupied his entire time, than to

any hck of inclination on his part. He is now re-
moved, and his name will go down to posterity as a

sound lawyer, an able and impartial judge. He is
succeeded in his titles and estates by his eldest son,
CHARLES EDWARD Viscount Ca 0 WHURST (now
Earl COTTENHAM), who was born in 1824.

GERMANY.

We read in a letter from Hamburgh of the
3d, in the lndependance of Brussels :—" The king-
dom of Hanover is at this moment a prey to agita-
tion, which, though offering no immediate danger,
spreads every day, especially amongst the bourgeoi-
sie, the farmers, and small proprietors of the country
districts. The democracy does not neglect to turn it
to account. After long deliberations, the two Cham-
bers at Hanover adopted an organic law on the con-
stitution, meetings, and power of the provincial
councils of the kingdom. By this Bill, the possessors
of noble fiefs were deprived of a number of privileges
attached to them—such as the exercise of justice, ex-
emption from taxes, and military service, and the
right of nominating a number of civil and ecclesiasti-
cal functionaries. The equestrian order, on seeing
these privileges seriously menaced, declared a violent
opposition to the Government and the Chamber,,
and contended that they had no right to deprive
them of acquired rights held from time imme-
morial A general assembly, composed of deputies of
the equestrian order of all the provinces of the king-
dom, has been held in the town of Celle. It was re-
solved never to recognise the organic law on the pro-
visional councils, and to employ all means possible to
prevent its introduction into Hanover. A deputation,
chosen from amongst the chiefs of the oldest families,
waited on the KING to represent their grievances, and
another has been nominated to go to Frankfort on the
opening of the Diet. The latter hopes to obtain a
favourable result. On the other hand, the bourgeoisie,
supported by all the democracy, make energetic
public demonstrations, and press the Government to
proceed immediately to carry out the law. A meeting
of 4,000 persons from all parts of the kingdom was
held on the 28th ult. at Hildesheim. Several deputies
of the Second Chamber attended it, and the resolu-
tions which were adopted show the importance at-
tached to the law. On the 30th ult. the electors of
the district of Stade resolved to support the Ministry
by all means in their power in carrying the Bill into
effect. Several other open air meetings are about to
be held."

The Spener Gazette of Berlin says that the idea
which had been formed of establishing a large federal
army has been abandoned.

The First Chamber of Prussia, in the sitting of the
3d, adopted, after an interesting debate, the re-
commendation of a committee approving of the
employment of the credit of 18,000,000 thalers
for the army in 1850, and of new credits for
the same purpose being opened in the pre-
sent year. A proposition of M. BAUMSTARK,
in the name of the Opposition, blaming the policy of
the Government, was rejected. The Second Cham-
ber, on the same day, continued the discussion on the
Bill on the press. An amendment was adopted to
the effect that offences of the press punished by three
years' imprisonment should be tried by a jury.
The Second Chamber of the States of Bavaria re-
jected in a recent sitting, by 78 votes to 47, the mo-
tion of Prince WALLERSTEIN, respecting the inter-
vention of Bavaria in Electoral Hesse.
A letter from Vienna states that Prince METTER-
rucri has taken apartments for the summer at the
baths of Ischl.

WALLACHIA AND MOLDAVIA,
An Envoy of the Porte left Constantinople on the
16th ult. for Bucharest with a firma ordering the
departure of the Ottoman troops as soon as those of
Russia should have retired.

A Bohemian journal states that the Austrian Go
vernment has just demanded from the Moldavian Go
vernment, through its Consul-General, the extradi.
tion of 600 persons, who, as deserters or fraudulent
bankrupts, had taken refuge in that country.
