THE COURT OF CHANCERY.—Yesterday the three
new Chancery Acts passed in the last session came into force.
The first was passed on the Lith of aiuly, and is known in
the profession as Mr. George Turner's Act, entitled "An
Act to diminish the delay and expense of proceeding in the
High Court of Chancery in England." Parties under this
Act can concur in special cases and obtain the opinion of the
Court of Chancery; accounts of persons deceased can be
taken before the Masters. The second Act has reference to
the Court of Chancery of the County Palatine of Lancaster,
and new rules and orders Ns ill now be issued for that court.
The third Act, passed on the sth of August, is considered
an important statute affecting mortgagees and trustees : it is
entitled "An Act to consolidate and amend the law relating
to the conveyance and transfer of real and personal property
vested in mortgagees and trustees." The Lord Chancellor
can by order remove and appoint new trustees. These Acts
are now in force, and proceedings will be forthwith adopted
under them in the Court of Chancery. _

DINNER TO MR. CARLETON, THE IRISH NOVEL-
;fr. —Th e distinguished author of " Fardoragha, the Miser,"
" The Black Prophet," and other novels equally well
known, has recently made a visit to this metropolis, with a
view, it is supposed, to the publication of a new work of fic-
tion. Some gentlemen conected with literature and the tine
arts took advantage of the great Irish novelist's presence in
London to entertain him at dinner on Wednesday evening at
the Nell Gwynne Tavern. Dr. Raleigh Baxter presided on
the occasion, and was supported by Messrs. Stirling Coyne
and Frederick Tomlins, The health of Mr. Carleton was pro-
posed by the Chairman briefly, but with much feeling, as one
who had moved him to laughter and to tears alternately
more than any living writer, and, with one or two exceptions,
perhaps more than any of the great and gifted men whose
works remain to us, and whose genius we reverence. Mr.
Carleton referred in plain and unpretending terms to his
origin, his early struggles, and the circumstances which led
him into writing for the public; and the final avowal that
his popularity in England, and the cordial manner of his per-
sonal reception, was the crowning triumph of his career,
called down rapturous applause. With the exception of the
chairman and Mr. Coyne, all Mr. Carleton's entertainers in
the present instance were Englishmen.—Lady's Nciespaper.
