Still he (Sir Peel) did not 'nest to justify his owe.—

the Flour the reasons for which be felt that he could
give his eepport to the present Bill, althongh it fell
short of that alteration in the law which was propoeed
in the,Bill of last year, and which, if he could succeed
in carrying it, he would prefer to have.—(Hear.)
Mr. C. BULLER gave the Right Hon. Gentle-
man the credit which he claimed for honesty, althoerilx.
he could not at all agree with him as to the hones */
of this I iill.—(Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. Baronet hall
shown that he had taken out of the Bill of last sessions
everything that could be opposed by the gentlemen on%
the opposite (the Ministerial) side of the House. The
very difficulty which the Right Hon. Baronet complained
of, as impeding all kinds of law reform. was the very
thing which brought him (Mr. Buller) down to the
House to oppose this measure. That was the difficulty
created by vested interests. But this Bill wes to create
twenty-six new judges. Now, the effect cf this would
be, that whenever it should be attempted to reform
those courts, in a manner worthy of the country, they
would have to contend with all these new vested into.

worthier of the views which the Right Hon. Baronet%
now professed, and it would have found greater sup--
port in the House and the country. The Government would'
have more successfully conciliated opposition by taking
out of the former Bill all that was really objection-
able and suspicious.—(litar.) The Right Hon. Gentle-
man could have come forward and tested the House.--
(Hear.) He couid have said that he had now produced
a good and efficient measure, and he left to the House
the responsibility of rejecting it.—(Hear.) But the Bilt.
of this night, far from grappling with the evils of the,
Ecclesiastical Courts, kept nothing of the other Bill but.
the increase of office and salaries.—(Hear.) What was
the meaning of those formidable schedules (not filled up)
at the end of the book—one of offices and the other of
salaries—the more formidable because they were note
filled up?—(Hear, hear.) The Right Hon. Baronet:
talked of his desire to reform the institutions of the-
country. But he would recommend the Right Hon. Ba-
rOnet not to interfere with the old institutions until he
could reform them effectually.
Dr. NICHOLL wished to know what the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman coisidered suspicious in the Bill of
last year ?
Mr. BULLER'S answer was not heard.
The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to
be committed.

COUNTY COURTS BILL-SUPERIOR COURTS

BILL.

Sir J. GRAHAM said that there were many provi-
sions of the Superior Courts Bill, introduced by the Hon.
and Learned Gentleman the Member for Chester, which
were far from interfering with the County Courts Bill,
but would, on the contrary, assist its objects and opera-
tion. He, therefore, would suggest that the Hon. and
Learned Gentleman should not press the second reading
of this Bill, but would allow the County Courts Bill to
go through Committee pro forma, with a view to recoil:-
6k the two Bills in Committee. He should also wish
that the compensation clause should be brought up, andi
the report received.
Mr. JARVIS had no objection to the course proposed.
Mr. WATSON wished to call the attention of the
Government to the neeessity of having barristers of
station and character to preside over quarter sessionst..
Such appointments would greatly relieve the business at
the assizes, and tend to the diminution of the county
rates.

After a few words from Mr. W. Ellis, Sir J. Graham,
and Mr. Hawes, the Bill was read a secoud time.
IRISH REGISTRATION BILL.

In answer to question by Lord J. RUSSELL,
Sir R. PEEL stated that he did not propose to bring
on the Irish Registration Bill before the 6th of May. '
The House then went into Committee on the County
Courts Bill, which went through Committee pro forma.
The report. to be brought up on Monday next.
The Superior Courts Common-law Bill was then read
a second time, which was ordered to be brought up =-
Wednesday week.
CLERK OF THE CROWN.
The report on the Committee of Supply was then
about to be brought up, when
Mr. BARING wished to know whether or not it was
true that the Clerk of the Crown was about to be salaried
out of the House of Lords ?
Sir R. PEEL said the affair had not come under the
consideration of the Treasury, and, therefore, he could
not give a direct answer.
Lord J. RUSSELL repeated the question. Surely
the Right Hon. Gentleman at the head of the Govern-
ment must know that an address had been presented on
the subject by the House of Lords to the Throne ?
Sir R. PEEL must repeat, that the matter had not
come under the consideration of the Treasury. He
must own he had heard of it, but he could not at pre-
sent give a definite answer on the subject.
Lord J. RUSSELL wished to explain, in reply to.
some observations of the Noble Lord (Stanley), regard-
ing the appointment of the Bishop of New Zealand, that
he had not pledged the House in any way to the subject.
After a few words from Lord STANLEY,
The Bailiffs of Inferior Courts Bill went through
Committee.—Report this day.
VESTRIES.

Mr. S. O'BRIEN rose to ask leave to bring in a Bill
to prohibit the holding of vestries in churches.
Mr. HAWES objected to bringing in a Bill of such
importance, and which would entail considerable ex-
pense on many parishes, at that late hour, which pre-
cluded the possibility of discussing its provisions.
Mr. S. O'BRIEN said the Bill was not the same as
that of last year.
Sir R. PEEL said there were many cases in which
Bills were allowed to be introduced without entering
into a statement, and he did not see any objection
against such a course being allowed in the present case.
He should reserve to himself the right of acting as he
thought proper when the Bill was read a second time.
On the motion of Mr. S. O'BRIEN the Bill was then
brought in and read a first time.
The other orders of the day were then disposed of,
and the House adjourned at a Quarter-past Twelve.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.
NEWMARKET FIRST SPRING MEETING, 1844.
NEWMARKET, MONDAY EVENING, 5 P.N.
The company in the town has considerably increased since
our last, and as the weather continues fine, and the anxiety
to see the first favourite for the Derby is, if possible, greater
than ever, we may look for the largest attendance to-morrow
that has been seen at Newmarket since the Crucifix year.
Great numbers were on the heath this morning to see the
two cracks; both were out and looking the " perfection of
racing" trim. The Ugly Buck, who made his appearance
about six o'clock, was for nearly three hours the " observed
of all observers," and it will be satisfactory to his
absent admirers to hear, that however lazy and " pot—

te;ing " in his walk, his action when gallopping is,
by the majority of critics, pronounced to be un-
exceptionable ; that he merits the character given
him of being " the best horse ever trained at Danebury," re-
mains to be proved—that the field he wilimeet to-morrow is
good enough to extend a horse of such formidable pretensions
may be doubted. Meanwhile betting on the Derby pro-
gresses languidly. ; 5 to 2 is taken about the Ugly Buck. 17
to 1 each about Campanero and Leander, 25 to 1 about Bay
Moms, and 1,000 to 15 freely about Elemi For the 2,000
Guineas Stakes 3to 1 goes current on the Ugly Buck, and
only 3to 1 offered against his winning both events. The
late hour at which the races terminated must be pur excuse
for deferring a list of the fashionable arrivals funtil a more
favourable opportunity. Of the sport we subjoin the usual
