LAW InELLIGENCE,(THIS DAY

COURT OF CHANCERY.

FREDERICK V. PARSONS.
His LORDSHIP sat this morning at half-pas'
o'clock, and stated, on coming into Court, that
thought it would be more convenient for CO
and the parties, that he should hear this case
rather than at his house.
Mr. KNIGHT observed that affidavits had 1
filed on the part of the defendant, and doubted'
much whether the Court could now proceed, 8
was essentially necessary the plaintiff should ans'
if the defendant insisted on reading them.
Mr. TRESLOVE stated, he should certainly
them.
His LORDSHIP remarked, that if the Court
now going on to sit, he should certainly give
parties an opportunity of answering the affidavO
matter of course. However inconvenient it
be for his Lordship to attend to hear the easel,
certainly would do so in the present instanct
soon as the parties were ready.
Mr. TRESLOVE was sorry to encroach so Ic
on the goodness of the Court, and proposed that
client should be permitted to go on working
colliery, giving security.
His LORDSHIP stated this was an Strrallgenlell
could riot enter into. He should be in town no
28th of this month, when he would hear the cas
his house, if Counsel would attend.
Counsel promised to do so, and thus the ma
rests.

RESIGNATION OF THE LORD HI
ADMIRAL.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
iil af'
SlR—Although not likely myself to be immediately
of
fected, either one way or the other, by the resignal
the
his Royal Highness the Duke of Clarence of his post
.kel
of
Admiralty, 1 cannot resist troubling you, for the w the
the thousands of my brave countrymen serving 11',,
Royal Navy, with a few words expressive of my deer
gret at this circumstance. ticir;
The constitution of both army and navy, but Pe,et.
larly the latter, is such, that it must always be a 0.-40(1'
delight to every thinking lover of his country, to
„,z,
when it is practicable, the administration of their Ole
tive affairs placed in the hands of Princes, especiallY isir,e(l
we have reason to think them high minded and libenor
fitted, by due activity and attention, for public Calli„ for
ment. I can hardly, I should think, be asked a reanbst
this plain impression. If I were to be. I should sal' for
where so many brave Officers are constantly looking 001 Y
ward, and struggling for honourable promotion, throe 04
who are most likely to deal out even-handed justice, dog
are placed farthest beyond the reach of the never-low
importunities with which public men are ever beaetPest
relatives and personal friends (to say nothing of far as
claims) should be placed at the head of such departinee''
the Admiralty.
It was this feeling, no doubt, that induced sue% al
versal satisfaction at the Royal Duke's appointrne€ll"; t
every unbiassed person must see that, without a 1111„
clear prospect of advancement, and a firm reliance c4iisS
perfect impartiality of their superiors. Young men, as' de.
cleverness and ability with spirit, will not choose t°ool
vote their lives to the service. Hence, therefore, a s
ales!
decline must take place in the character of our tars, °ig
a proper foundation be laid on this principle for recur is
the certainty of reward to all who merit it. 05 fop'
Highness the Duke of Clarence, as a Royal Prince, rthi
his birth, free from those temptations to depart frol'_•o
line marked out by honour and justice, and he is otherws'i,
peculiarly well calculated to preside at the Adtniralty.

secession, therefore, is clergy to be deplored. , eft
As to his Royal Highness's mode of transacting IMO
can it be reasouahly expected that a Prince—the heir „Pb
sumptive to the Crown—in taking upon himself a P-0
station, should thrust aside his just dignity, and be%-ii
as unceremonious a drudge as Mr. Hume, perhaps,
kiIL,
be found, were the public blessed with his services ft:-
Grant, for the sake of argument, that his Royall,P-,0
was a pore expensive servant to the public than. Pr"ir.-
Lords of the Admiralty (which I am far, however,
exo
the ,
believing), should we not, in that case, compare
cost with the additional benefits to the navy, and of cv
sequence to the country. Referring to the above vior;
these benefits, I will confidently ask those whose na
minds are not chained to figures, whose senses are not 13
in a maze of X. a. d., whether the balance is not he
somely in favour of the nation ; and, let it not be forgot%
a Melville might have gene these official trips without 5
public knowing or caring a word about the matter,
every movement of the Royal Duke has been regularly
claimed in every public print throughout the king(ll2
But peradventure there may be some sapients who e%l
the Royal Duke should have managed to perform his Pu
duties INCOG ! !
With respect to the lavish expenditure of gen P-a ftor
which has been sneeringly referred to, any man of coeV,
understanding must perceive that it is an expence att.'
upon Royalty, not upon the good or bad administratielli
affairs at the Admiralty. The miserable economist eb
have charged it to the account of his Royal Higlineesiol,
Duke of Clarence, not to that of the Lord High Alldl

Your obedient servant, s,
