cellors in the year 1842—not striking at the root of
the existing abuses.

For the last half century, at least, there had been
general complaints of the inordinate delays of the
Court. Lord ELDON, although a sound lawyer,
was proverbially slow, and his doubts inflicted the
deepest injury upon the unfortunate suitors (far better
that an erroneous decision should sometimes have been
pronounced than that all justice should be practically
denied) ; the causes in arrear increased to a fearful
extent, so that at length a period of several years—
seldom less than three or four—often elapsed be-
tween the setting down and the hearing of a cause.
And even under the most favourable circumstances,
where there were no exceptions to the Master's re-
port, or no unnecessary obstructions interposed
by interested parties, final judgment or the
distribution of a fund in court could not be
reasonably anticipated in less than nine or ten years.
At that period the Court of Exchequer exercised
a concurrent equitable jurisdiction in many cases
(cases of infancy and lunacy, however, being the ex
elusive property of Chancery) ; this was found to
produce considerable inconvenience. The practice of
these tribunals differed in many respects ; there was
a variety of conflicting decisions, so that a plaintiff
selected the forensic arena according to the nature of
the judgment which he desired. The Barons of
the Exchequer were also obliged to devote by
far the greater portion of their time to
the common law business of their court.
Hence the delays at the equity side of the
Court of Exchequer were almost as tedious
and objectionable as those of Chancery itself.
The Act which abolished the equitable
jurisdiction of the Court of Exchequer, and provided
for the appointment of a Vice-Chancellor of England,
was, therefore, hailed with general delight, and it was
hoped that, through the valuable assistance of Sir
LANCELOT IIADWELL, many of the existing evils
would be removed, and that cases could be heard
shortly after they had been set down for argument.
But the addition of a single judge, however compe-
tent, was speedily found to be insufficient for that pur-
pose. Appeals from his decision were necessarily allowed
to,the Lord Chancellor in person, as there had formerly
been from the Rolls; so that the Vice-Chancellor's
Court barely afforded compensation for the new
business introduced from the Exchequer, or brought
to Chancery in consequence of the abolition of the
equitable department of that tribunal. The zeal
and energy of Lord BROUGHAM for a time succeeded
in keeping down any further arrears, but with all the
activity of the Noble and Learned Lord he could not
get rid of those which had accumulated since the be-
ginning of the century, and even from more remote
dates. After his removal from the woolsack the
appointment of additional equity judges was felt
to be an imperative necessty. A Bill for that pur-
pose was accordingly framed under the direction of
Lord COTTENHAM, which was adopted by Lord
LYNDHURST, his successor, and which became the
law of the land shortly after the accession to office of
the PEEL Ministry.

Although this wise and salutary measure removed
a serious grievance, it brought others into more
prominent light. The delays in the Masters' offices
became more conspicuous when causes were referred
with so much greater rapidity than was previously
practicable. Large arrears of business were
got rid of, so far as the Vice-Chancel-
lors were concerned, and sent before the
Masters, and the arrears in that department were
speedily as formidable, and as loudly complained of,
as those before the Court itself. But, as we have
already stated, the Lord Chancellor had no time to
devote to the cleansing of those Augean stables,
which now imperatively demand a large and com-
prehensive measure of reform for their amelioration.
There was also a large accumulation of arrears in
the appeal business, which could only be heard by
the Chancellor himself; for, notwithstanding the
material alleviation of his labours, there was still
too much to be done, when the time which he was
obliged to devote to other matters was. taken
into account. An appeal from an experienced and
learned judge, such as the Master of the Rolls, or
any of the Vice-Chancellors, could not be summarily
disposed of. Much consideration was necessary be-
fore a precedent was established which should settle
the law on a vexata questio. It was not merely the
time occupied in hearing causes in court that was
required, but considerable labour was necessary in
the seclusion of his study, and the " midnight oil"
must be largely consumed to do justice to all par-
ties. But how was this practicable when four
evenings in the week were given to hearing
dull debates in the House of Lords, and to his duties
a 3 Speaker of that assembly, and two days to hearing
appeal cases, not from the Tice-Chancellors, but from
himself, besides the time necessary for Cabinet
Councils and Ministerial consultations ?
The returns ordered last night, on the motion of
Lord BROUGHAM, will show to what an extent this
evil has reached, and will incontestably prove the ne-
cessity of the change which has been long mooted,
viz., the separation of the political and judicial func-
tions of the Lord High Chancellor of England.

TICE BISHOP or LONDON.—The Right Rev. Prelate
was sufficiently well to appear in the House of Lords yester-
day (Monday) evening.
The Earl of Clancarty is so much recovered from
his late attack of sciatica, as to be enabled to take carriage

RESIGNATION OF MR. COMMISSIONER SHEPHERD.
—ln the Court of Bankruptcy yesterday it was announced
that an official communication had been received from the
Lord Chancellor, making known the resignation of Mr.
Commissioner Shepherd, who has been ill for some months,
and unable to attend to the duties of the court. By the
Bankrupt Law Consolidation Act, it is provided that, on the
death or resignation of the Conamissioner,ino fresh :appoint-
ment is to be made until the number is reduced to four,
which it to be the permanent number. The remaining
Commissioners are—Mr. Commissioner.:Evans (senior com-
missioner), Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque, Mr. Commis-
sioner Holroyd, Mr. Commissioner Goulburn, and Mr. Com-
missioner Fane.

FESTIVAL OF THE TRINITY CORPORATION.--Yes
terday, Trinity Monday, the Elder Brethren of the Hon.
Trinity Company, according to custom, attended Divine ser-
vice at the old church at Deptford, and visited the alms-
houses. His Grace the Duke of Wellington, Master of the
Corporation, attended by Sir H. Pelly, Deputy Master, and
nearly the whole of the Brethren, left the Trinity-house in
procession shortly before eleven o'clock, and proceeded to
Tower-quay, where they were received by Major Elrington,
the Deputy-Governor of the Tower, and Mr. Lund, the State
Gaoler. A detachment of the Grenadier Guards, under the
command of Lieutenant-Colonel Fulcher, with their band,
were drawn up near the Tower-steps, and the warders
formed the body guard. The Master and Brethren were con-
veyed to and from Woolwich in the Trinity-house state
barge, and were accompanied by a number of shallops and
other vessels gaily dressed, and decked with flags, &c. In
the evening a banquet took place in the hall of the house of
the Corporation on Tower-hill, at which the Duke of Wel-
lington presided. There were also present Lord John Rus-
sell, Lord Granville, the Marquis Camden, the Marquis of
Douro, Sir F. Beaufort, Sir H. Pelly, Sir H. Douglas, Sir J.
Gorden, Sir B. Martin, Sir T. Fremantle, Sir T. Hill, Admiral
Dundas, the chairman and deputy chairman of the /East
India Company, Dr. Lushington, Captain ;Milne, &c. The
band of the Coldstream Guards was in attendance.
METROPOLIS INTERMENTS BILL.--A Special ge-
neral meeting of the Protestant dissenting deputies was yes-
terday held at the King's Head Tavern, in the Poultry,
for the consideration of the Government Interments Bill.
Mr. John Remington Mills occupied the chair; and, in
his opening address, after commenting on those features of
the proposed measure which more especially affected the
interests of Nonconformists and the principles of Non-
conformity, gave an account of the steps taken by the com-
mittee to oppose the Bill, and of the result of an interview
which a deputation from their body had had with Sir
George Grey. Messrs. John Wilks, Carlisle, Offor, and other
gentlemen next addressed the meeting in condemnation of
the Bill, declaring themselves to be in no way opposed to the
cause of sanitary reform, and yet conceiving themselves

profusely bleeding, and who had sustained various other in-
juries, stated that he was going up the hill after the review,
to see the sappers and miners working at the top, but had
fallen over the crags. He could not tell how long he had
lain, being so much stunned by the fall, and was unable to
walk home. Assistance being obtained he was taken to his

he still suffers severely.-- Caledonian Mercury.
ABERYSTWITH.—THE WEATHER AND THE CROPS.
—The month of May has, until the last few days, which have
been delightfully fine, proved most ungenial. In the early
part of the month there were several nights of severe frost,
while the days were remarkably cold, with bleak easterly
winds. Far and near the wheat has lost its fine colour and
assumed a yellow tinge. The early potato crops are formed,
and in some places look exceedingly well.--Welshman.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
It is evident that the attempt of the reactionary
party to make something out of the Greek affair is a
coup manqué. Notwithstanding the utmost efforts of
the political Agioteurs, the Funds still continue
firm, no apprehension is felt in mercantile circles, and
the manufacturers are preparing for the London ex--
position of 1851. The Ministry, however, are doing
all they can to create an alarm by ordering ships out
and levies of sailors to be made.
Letters from Toulon of the 24th inst. announce the
sailing from that port of the steam-vessels Solon and
Grondeur, to reinforce the French fleet at Naples.
Captain DUQUESNE, who recently commanded the
Jena, when the PorE visited the Mediterranean
squadron, has received orders to proceed immediately
to L'Orient and Rochefort, to fit out the Duquesclin
and another ship of the line, and take them to Brest.
A levy of sailors has been ordered in the fifth mari-
time arrondissement, of which Toulon is the chef lieu.
The National makes the fallowing terrible rejoinder
to the infamous accusations brought by M. THIERS
on Friday against the people, or as he calls them
" the vile multitude :"

" M. Thiers has given credit to the people for the
commissio❑ of vices and crimes, the examples of which
he finds in persons more nearly allied to himself. The
people did not judicially assassinate Marshal Ney; the
people did not by telegraphic dispatch order the immediate
execution of the condemned of Grenoble; it did nut
betray at the same time both Napoleon and France,
to save fur itself mantles of senators and gold sticks of
chamberlains; it never grovelled in the dust before the
Emperor Nicholas; it never for twenty years compressed
liberty at home, and dishonoured France abroad to
found a dynasty. The orgies of Grandvaux, the scan-
dals of the Bourse, the bribes to high officials, the bed
of shame on which the Duchess of Berry was victim-
ized, the cord of the last of the Condos, and the poignard
of the last of the Praslins do nut belong to the heritage
of the people."

It is generally considered that the Electoral Bill
will undergo very extensive modifications. The
Opinion Publique announces that the portion of the
Legitimatist party whose opinion it repre-
sents are determined to propose that all per-
sons liable to the conscription, shall have a
vote. This proposition, if carried out, will scarcely
diminish the number of electors to any ap-
preciable extent, and there is very little doubt but that
the whole of the Republicans, whether Democrats or
Constitutionalists, will rote in favour of such an
amendment.

The PRESIDENT of thelßepublic has ordered the
publication of the Napoleon to be stopped on account
of the appearance in it of an article on the Greek
question calculated to envenom the negotiations at
present pending with England on that subject.
The Siikle and the great majority of the Repub-
lican journals declare that they consider the explana-
tions of Lord PALMERSTON as perfectly satisfactory,
and that the Government ought to accept them
as such.

The French Government is about shortly to bring
in a Bill relative to the duty on sugar. The most
important clauses of it consist in a progressive reduc-
tion of 20 francs on the present duty on all sugars,
and a reduction of 5 francs on that which affects
foreign sugar. The gradual reduction of the duty
from 45 francs to 25 francs has already received the
approbation of the Council General of Agriculture
and Commerce. The Council were of opinion that
the additional duty on foreign sugar might be reduced
50 per cent. ; but the Government has, it is said, only
consented to reduce it 25 per cent.
A fusion of all classes: of Republi-
cans, with a view to the formation of a
compact Parliamentary opposition, has, it is said,
taken place in consequence of the efforts of MM.
auras DE GIRARDIN and VIDAL. M. EMILE DE
GIRARDIN has had an interview with General CA-
VAIGNAC, and a reconciliation has taken place be-
tween them. It is said that General CAVAIGNAC will
be requested to lead the Parliamentary opposition.
M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN has been announced as the
Democratic candidate for the Bas Rhin.

The debate on the Electoral Law was resumed;yes-
terday in the National Assembly. The Assembly
was discussing an amendment proposed by M. CORNE,
that the commune in which a man should have
answered to the conscription law should be held to be
his domicile.

PARIS BOURSE, MONDAY, MAY 27.
The market opened firm in advance of the closing
quotations of Saturday, and for a time kept steadily ad-
vancing towards the close, however some rather heavy
sales were made to realise profits, and prices gave way
to leave off about the same as on Saturday. Threes fir
the account at 56f. 50c., and Fives at 90f. 85c. The
market closed as follows:—Threes, for cash, 56f. 45c.,

The sales of Cotton at Liv.,rpool estrrrlay were
estimated at 10,000 ball':, of which 1,000 Ame-
rican were taken for export and 1,500 on speculation.
The market was animated and closed firmly.—In Rail-
way Shares only a limited business was done, and prices
had a downward tendency.
The Colonial Produce Markets will be closed to-mor-
row, as usual on the Derby day, and there is an extra
number of sales being held to-day.
There seems to be no improvement in the Stafford-
shire iron trade. A writer in Aris' Birmingham Gazette
states—

" From all the information we can obtain it appears
that a reduction of 5 per cent, on the general rates of
wages has been submitted to by the workmen engaged in
the manufacture of iron throughout the principality, and
the price of Welsh iron, free on board at the ports, is now
41. 10s., but that, even at these figures, buyers are
scarcely to be found. In Scotland pig iron is again
dull of sale, sad the exports of the first
four months of the present year fall short of those in
the same period of 1849, by nearly 37,000 tons. The
prices now quoted vary from 425. 6d. to 455. per ton. The
number of furnaces there stated to be in blast on the
Ist of January last was 112, of which 45 are now
standing on account of the colliers' strike, and the pro-
duce of many others is reduced, so that the total
quantity made is supposed to be less by about 6,000
tons weekly—a contraction which must have a beneficial
result on the market, at least in reducing the enormous
stocks on hand, with which the present year was com-
menced." There is consequently still some hope.
In the New Zealand accounts received yesterday, there
are particulars of the progress of the New Flax Com-
pany. A speaker, at a meeting held upon this subject,
stated "it was now a mere question of labour, whether
Phormium Tenax was to become at once that article of
export which, through its unlimited spontaneous
growth in almost every part of these islands, promised
not alone to prove the saving of this colony, but an
inexhaustible source of genuine wealth. With hand
labour at 3s. 6d. per day, it bas been proved impos-
sible to prepare the flax for exportation at a remune-
rating price. The labourer who has been in the habit
of receiving, first 65., then 4s, then 3s. 6d. per day, as
a matter of course, feels poverty-striken at the very
idea of earning less, and begins to talk of California.
Machinery will supply us with cheap labour, and as there
appears no difficulty in the matter, even with those
who are professionally intimate with it, and the process
for dissolving the gum and cleansing the fibre from all
vegetable matter being practically ascertained, success is
certain. The worthy Chairman at a previous meeting
had stated to him (Mr. A—) that: a similar ma-
chine had been worked at Nelson, but from the price of
labour they could not produce it at a lower
rate than 101. per ton, while the highest price
they ever could obtain at Nelson was 91., leaving them
14 clear loss. This statement was sufficient to found
sanguine hopes upon, as the article can be produced for
the same price at Wellington, if not less, and the mer-
chants have offered from 121. to 15/. per ton. Fax in
Sydney had recently realised 251. per ton, and Wool
lashing, from the same article, 45t per ton. What need
to despair?"
In the Rio de Janke() letters of last month's date, it
is stated that " the stock of coffee is 80,000 bags, half of
which is new, but of ordinary quality; holders firm, as
the quantity coming in is moderate. The new crop will
not be so abundant as supposed, the weather
having been unfavourable for the fruit. It will
not be above a fair average, not exceeding that
of 1849. The new crop arrives slowly, and
of poor quality. It is estimated not over 75,000 bags of
new will arrive before July, and of old very little re-
mains to come forward. The exports to the States have
fallen off in nine months 111,659 bags, compared with
1849-50.
