HOUSE OF COMMONS, MAY IG.

Mr. FERGUSON brought in a Bill to amend and ex-
plain the law• relating to the property of British subjects
dying in India. The Bill wag read a first time, and order-
ed to be read a second time the 2d of June.

Mr. SYKES presented three petitions from the neigh-
bourhood or Hull against the Iriendly Societies Bill,
Mr. J. WOOD said that he thought it his duty to state

that the Committee on this Bill had closed its labours,
under the understanding that as all the Members could not
concur in the regulations which should be adopted, and as
some of the Committee conceived the law should remain
on its present iboting, the Hon. Gentleman who brought
i❑ the Bill consented to withdraw it, and resolved not to
bring in any Bill whatever, so that the anxiety which ex-
isted in the country on this subject might now cease. He
thought it necessary to make this statement, as the Hon.
Gentleman who brought in the Bill stated in his place that,
though he would withdraw the Bill this Session, he
would introduce it in the next.

Mr. SYKES expressed his satisfaction that the, Bill
wag to be entirely given up. The petitions were the❑ laid
on the table.

Sir EDWARD KNATCHBULL preavnted two peti•
tioras from parishes in Kent, against the Roman Catholic
Claims.

Sir E. KNATCHBULL nlso presented a petition against
the importation of foreign wool, and nine petitions for
the protection of agriculture.
Mr. MUNDAY presented two petitisms from parishes
in Derbyshire, for the repeal of the Act limiting the cir-
culation of Small Notes.
ISLAND OF TRINIDAD.

Mr. PROTHEROE, seeing a Noble Lord in his place
who was connected with his Majesty's Government, wished
to know whether it was the intention of his Majesty's Mi-
nisters to introduce into Parliament any Bill during the
present Session, for the alteration of the Trinidad laws.
Lord F. L. GOWER replied, in answer to the Hon.
Member's inquiries, that this measure, however import-
ant, formed but a part of the many subjects of colonial
policy with Government, and that it could not introduce
any Bill during the present Session of Parliament to that
effect. As au additional reason for delay, he mentioned
the desire of .Ministers to confer with Sir Ralph Woodford,
who was expected in this country.
Mr. J. WOOD brought up the report on the Bankrupt
Laws Amendment Bill, which wza; ordered to be engrossed.
London, England, 1828-05-17

LIC QUESTION.

Sir F. BURDETT appeared at the bar and announced
that he had repaired, with other Members of that House,
to the House of Lords, with the resolution as agreed upon
last Monday, and requested a conference with their Lord-
ships, who stated in reply that they would send a❑ answer
by messengers of their own.
Immediately after messengers from the Lords were in-
troduced, who delivered the following message:—
" That the Lords had agreed to a conference, as desired
by the House in their message of this day, and appointed
the same for- Monday next, at half-past five o'clock in the
afternoon, in the Painted Chamber."

FOREIGN POLITICS.
Sir ROBERT WILSON said, it had been his intention
th.i eveniug to put a question to his Majesty's Ministers
on the subject of the state of our foreign relations, hut as
it was but proper and right that Government should be
previously acquainted with an intention of this nature
when it did exist, and he had not had an opportunity of
apprising them of his intention until now, he should post-
pone his question until Monday next.

COURT OF CHANCERY.

THE DISSENTERS' NEW DECLARATORY ACT.

The Right Hon. Henry Goulburn, Chancellor of the
Exchequer, appeared before the Lord Chancellor, after he
took his seat, and made publicly the Declaration prescribed
by the terms of the new Act of Parliament, that he
would not, by virtue of any influence lie might possess
from holding his office, exercise any authority against, or
do any thing whatever to the injury of, the Protestant
Church, or the Bishops, as established by tke law of the
land.

BY HIS MAJESTY'S LETTERS PATENT.
THE ROYAL FILTER FOR CISTERNS.
IN submitting the above invaluable Discovery
to the attention of the Public, the Proprietors feel it
incumbent on them to enumerate a few of its leading
characteristics. The prevailing opinion of the impurity,
and consequent insalubrity of the Water supplied to the
Inhabitants of this City, is so well founded, and so amply
borne out by the numerous Testimonials of the most
Eminent of the Metropolitan Faculty, and by the recent
communications made before the Commissioners appointed
by Parliament, that any comment in this place would
appear like questioning the national common sense. This
mode of Filtration not only clarifies, but purifies, the
most turbid, fetid, stagnant water, rendering it of a
crystalline brilliancy, and at the same time most effectually
destroying both SMELL and TASTE. Its adaptation to
Cisterns enhances its valuable qualities, by obviating the
trouble of repeatedly charging it as heretofore, and
ensures an effectual preventive against the possibility of
employing any other Water than that which has passed the
Filter, either for Culinary operation., or in fact for any
domestic purposes. The rapidity of the process of Filtra-
tion, stands conspicuous amongst its advantages. The
Proprietors do not (as hitherto has been usual in advertising
Filters) state the precise number of Gallons capable of being
produced ; but are enabled confidently to assert that so fast
as the Water is supplied at the top of the Filter, so fast
will it discharge itself from the bottom in a highly purified
state.—lts moderate Price, (from Three Guineas upwards,
but rarely exceeding Six, in proportion to the dimensions
of Cisterns) by rendering it attainable to all Housekeepers,
confers a real blessing on Society, by at once removing the
cause of a multitude of Diseases, which are justly attri-
butable to the noxious particles contained in the Water.
The Prospectus may be had, and Filters, in fall opera-
tion, may be inspected, at the Office of the Patentees,
George Robins and others, No. 69, Strand, opposite the
Adelphi Theatre, where Orders are requested to be
addressed.

SALES BY AUCTION.

Belgrays Chapel, in Halkin-street, Grosvenor-place, and
one of the most classical and admired in the vicinity of
the Metropolis.
TO BE SOLD BY AUCTION,
• By Mr. GEORGE ROBINS,
At the Auction 'Mart, opposite the Bank, on TUFSDA ~ the
10th of .Tope, at Twelve, by direction of the Devisees
under the Will of Thos Neill, Esq., deceased.
THIS exceedingly valuable and highly im-
provable PROPERTY is LEASEHOLD, for a
period of near 90 Years, at a trivial Ground Rent ; it
comprehends
BELGRAVE CHAPEL, GROSVENOR-PLACE, and
the CHURCH PATRONAGE thereunto belonging,
erected about twelve years ago, and has since been uni-
formly the subject of unqualified praise, for the chasteness
of the design and unusual accommodatiOn within; a
much higher panegyric might in justice be pronounced ;
but it is apprehended, that as Mr. Smirke was the
Architect who presided over this building, it would partake
of the works of supererogation to add another word in its
Praise ; it should be seen to be properly appreciated ; how -
ever it may be permitted to animadvert on the
INCREASING VALUE OF THIS PROPERTY
ARISING OUT OF ITS RARE SITUATION.
The immense improvements that are progressing so fast
towards completion on
LORD GROSVENOR'S ESTATE,
will convince the most sceptical that a Chapel of so long
standing, and of such a commanding character, must of
necessity be a source of considerable gain, and its approxi-
mation upon THE KING'S PALACE,
must necessarily render this favoured spot (and to the end
of time) more highly appreciated than any otbsre part of
this vast Metropolis. The 'present inadequate Rental may
be estimated from 1,000/. to

TWELVE HUNDRED POUNDS A YEAR
The period cannot be far distant when, a considerable aug-
mentation will take place, as the pevrs aregenerally tenanted
by persons of the highest consideration.
Cards to view the same, from One till Four, will be is-
sued, and particulars had, twenty-one days prior to the
Sale, at the Offices of Messrs. White, Blake, and Rouse-
man, Essea-street; of Massrs. Afeyrick and Cox, Red

HIGH QUALIFICATIONS OF MR. SMIRKE,
superior judgment presided over the vast improve—
nn which took place a few years since; it is seated in
alwni:o exstestensive lawn, and enclosed from popular gaze by lofty
brick walls; the internal accommodation is of a character
well worthy of imitation ; nothing omitted that can con-
tribute to comfort. The principal rooms are of excellent
proportions, partaking in an eminent degree of the beau-
tiful disposition of the surrounding dom:tio, which is laid
out in unusually good taste ; probably the best commen-
tary will he found in the simple fact, that Mr. Repion's
powerful aid contributed to produce this desired effect.
The domestic arrangement of the mansion is in confor-
mity with exceedingly good judgment, and the offices of
every description so complete as to leave nothing to be
desired. The kitchen-gardens are unusually productive
and en""Vassed by lofty brick walls, presenting a
VALUABLE FRONTAGE OF VAST EXTENT TO
THE HIGH WESTERN ROAD,
front which an incalculable source of revenue (arising out
of ground rents) may be insured, without at all abridging
any of the material advantages of the place, the park
being so finely timbered, that such an operation would be
entirely shut out front the view of the possessor of
THIS INTERESTING PROPERTY AND DOMAIN,
and its contiguity to the
HORTICULTURAL GARDENS

must at all times considerably enhance its value ; it is with
this view Mr. Robins, with great earnestness, recom-
mends it in an especial manner to the attention of the public.
It can be viewed from one till five, by cards only. Par-
ticulars will be ready for distribution twenty-eight days

SIVE PREMISES OF

MR. BRANIAII, THE EMINENT ENGINEER.
The Property it is apprehended is too well known to re-
quire a lengthened commentary ; it will suffice fur the
present to state that this ground, occupying more than an
acre, and covered with substantial buildings, was demised
to the present responsible Lessee, at an inadequate
GROUND RENT OF 2001. A YEAR

(in consequence of a considerable premium and immense
outlay of money). The security is therefore as unques-
tionable as the responsibility of the respected tenant. lin-
mediately adjoining is
TIIE SCHOOL OF INDUSTRY,

very convenient and desirable Premises; demised for the
whole term, at a ground rent of 45/. ; and the house and
Premise. of Mr. Whiting, close by, demised also for the
whole term et a ground rent of 701. a year. The Pro-
perty i■ held for a period of forty-two years and a quarter
from Christmas, 1821, at the original ground-rent of
62/. les. for the whole.

Particulars may be had twenty-one days prior to the
sale, •n the premises; of Messrs. White, Blake, and

At the Auction Mart, London, early in the ensuing season
(unless an acceptable offer is previously made by Private
Treaty for the Estate),
THIS distinguished FREEHOLD PRO-
PERTY was originally built in the most substan-
tial manner, for the residence of
THE SPANISH AMBASSADOR,
anei planned with a view to his most perfect accommoda-
tion ; subsequently very considerable additions were made
for the purpose of adding to the residence,

WEDdEWOOD's CELEBRATED MANUFACTORY
for China in all its multitudinous branches, for which it
must always command that preponderating influence which
has distinguished it since its original establishment, but it
will be very manifest it has powerful claims to other and
important purposes. To demonstrate this fact, it will
only be necessary to remark that it presents a most exten
sive frost

and extends into York-street near Two Hundred and Nine
Feet, a space infinitely beyond that which the first mansions
in this Metropolis can pretend to,
presenting an opportu-
nity fora building operation that it is conjectured will not
fad to be duly appreciated, inasmuch as the situation un
questionably will not yield to the most favoured in London.
As an Investment, it is confidently submitted that nothing
in modern times has been offered to public competition
where the prospect of
pecuniary advantage is so manifest.

SURREY COAL METERS.

The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved the third reading
of the surrey Coal Meters' Act.
The Duke of WELLINGTON proposed an Amendtnent
limiting the Metage Lill for one year from July next,
and adding that it was the intention of his Majesty's
Government to take the subject fully into consideration in
the course of next Sessions.

Lord KING was glad to hear this fall from the Noble
Lord opposite, because he believed that the coal-meting
system put the public off their guard : they were led to be-
lie►e their interest was guarded by it, but though money
was taken from them to support it, instead of benefittrng, it
injured them. He thought that some mea_•ure ought to
he adopted, whereby the public might know what a dial-
(lron was; he believed no one knew the cubic contents of
a ehaldron, which the public ought to know, and there
would be some difficulty in taking the chaldron by weight.
Lord WHATINCLIFFE, as being connected with the
coal trade in the north, thought he tnight make one ob-
servation. In consequence of the metage practice in Lon-
don, a slur had been thrown on the coal owners of the
north, but he could assure the House and the public, that
no set of men could by possibility be more anxious than the
coal-owners, that an enquiry into this subject should take
place, and some measure be speedily passed by Parliament,
to relieve them from the enormous expense they are at in
delivering their coals in London.
After some observations from the Earl of SHAFTES-
BURY, the Bill was read a third time and passed.

Earl GROSVENOR presented a petition from the Ro-
man Catholics of Hollowell, praying for Catholic
Eman-
cipation.—Ordered to lie on the table.

PENRYN DISFRANCHISEMENT BILL.

Counsel were called in, when Mr. Harrison stated that in the
exercise of his discretion he should refrain from calling any
witnesses to contradict the evidence, although his clients
were anxious to relieve themselves from the imputations
unjustly cast upon them.
On the motion of the Earl of CARNARVON the fur-
ther consideration of the Bill was postponed.—Adjourned.
London, England, 1828-05-21

at the same time that they draw up addresses on
the model of those at Lisbon, they burn in the
market-places the Constitution •of the Brazilian
Emperor.
" It is affirited that the Foreign Ambassadors,
not satisfied with blaming the events which are now
passing in Portugal, have addressed energetic notes
to the Infante, to induce him to abandon the crooked
path inw which he has entered. If his Royal High-
ness Continues deaf to their wise remonstrances, it
is.expected that their Excelleneiei will leave Por-
tugal.
" The obstinacy of the Infante, and his ambition,
which his flatterers take care to keep up, by con-,
cealing from him the dangers of his situation, gives
reason to fear a very deplorable result. Meantime
the Authorities continue to take efficacious mea-
sures for the preservation of tranquillity in the capi-
tal. The Juizes dos Bairro (Commissaries of the
Quarters) have ordered the keepers of coffee-houses
and taverns, and all public establishments, to forbid
their customers to indulge in any discussion on poli-
tiCal subjects. M. Joseph Bernard de Faria, Magis-
trate at Coimbra, and M. Pinto Coelho, formerly
Civil Corregidor of the, city, have just been appoint-
ed Sub-Intendants of Police.

• " The Government would persuade people of its
impartiality in repressing the excesses which are
committed in certain towns in the kingdom, but
how can it be supposed that it -will exercise its
severity upon those who excite the populace in con-
sequence of superior orders It is more probable
that it will fall upon those only who would oppose
the projects of the licensed conspirators. N. Caire,
governor of the province of Alentejo, who has been
summoned to Lisbon to explain the deplorable scenes-
which have dyed with blood the streets of Evers
and of Moura, arrived here the day before yesterday."

BEAUTIFUL ESTATE IN SCOTLAND FOR SALE.
TO BE SOLD BY PRIVATE BARGAIN.
THE LANDS AND BARONY OF
CULTER, lying in the parish of Cutter, and
county of Lanark. By a recent survey, the Estate con-
tains 455 acres, whereof 354 are arable, and in the highest
state of cultivation, and 86 are lai4i out in belts and clumps
of planting.
The Lands have fora number of years past been mostly
in the proprietor's own hands, and are all inclosed
and subdivided in the most profitable and ornamental
manner- They are bounded en the west by Culter Water,
and lie within a quarter of a mile of the River Clyde, in a
populous neighbourhood, and contain some of the deepest
and richest loam soil in the county, at the same time having
the advantage of a gravelly substratum, they are uncom-
monly dry, warm, and healthy.
There is a considerable quantity of hardwood on the
Property, seventy years old and upwards, and the other
plantations, which are from forty-five years old and under,
consist of larch, Scotch fir, and a mixture of oak, ash,
elm, beech, &c. all in thriving condition, needing only to
be thinned.

The high road from Edinburgh to Dumfries bounds the
estate for about a mile. The distance from Edinburgh is
twenty-nine miles, from Lanark ten, and from Biggar two
miles. There are regular markets at Biggar, with a daily
post and stage-coach betwixt Edinburgh and Dumfries.—
The stage-coach also from Carlisle to Glasgow by Lanark
passes within two miles of the lands, and all the roads are
excellent.
•

The Mansion House may at a small expence be made to
accommodate a large family; and the farm-offices, inclu-
ding a thrashing-mill of four horse-power, are complete.
The Garden contains above an acre of the best soil, and
produces all ordinary fruits in abundance.
The lauds hold of the Crown, and afford a Freehold
Qualification in the county, which will either be sold or
retained, as a purchaser may incline.
The teinds, to which there is an heritable right, are
valued and exhausted, and the public burdens are very
moderate.

The title-deeds and a plan of the estate are in the hands
of Messrs. Gibson and Hector, W.S. No. 56, George-
street, Edinburgh, to whom, or to Mr. John Lang, writer
in Glasgow, or to Mr. Dickson, of Hartree, the Proprie-
tor, inquirers are referred for further particulars.
James Willison, the OveNeer at Ctiltrr, will sh,:w the
Lands.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, MAY I'7-.

The Court sat in banco this morning, but was
occupied the whole of the day in hearing the fur-
ther arguments in a case of no interest, which was
commenced yesterday. In the course of the argu-
ment, however, Mr. Sergeant TADDY observed upon
the very imperfect state of our law upon the Falb-
jpect of contracts. In England, the greatest com-
mercial country in the world, he thought the law
should be more definite than it was at present upon
a matterof so much importance; for from the c2treless
and inattentive manner in which brokers drew up
their contracts, much perplexity and litigation was
continually arising. Upon the Continent, and more
particularly in Italy and Flanders, all commercial
contracts were- obliged to he entered in a public
hook, which was open to both parties, and by this
means all dispute and misunderstanding was avoided.
He thought that if some plan of this kind were
adopted in England, it would go far to prevent the
numerous actions for breach of contract which now
daily occupied the attentions of our Courts of Law.
The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE said he was decidedly
of the same opinion. The employment of notaries
public, before wham the entries of contracts were
made on the Continent, was the means of prevent-
ing much litigation, and he wished that some per-
eons were authorized to act in this country. He
was persuaded that if they were, many of the dif-
ferences arising from commercial transactions, which
now were made the subject of investigation in our
superior Courts, might be settled at a trifling ex-
pence, and in a manner much more satisfactory to
the parties.
