CORN AVERAGES' BILL.

Lord GODERICH, having proposed a verbal
Amendment in this Bill, then mcved, " That there
be now added a Clause, to enable his Majesty, by
an Order in Council, to name those Towns and
Ports in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and
Ireland, where the averages were, from time to time,
to be taken." The Noble Viscount, after an allusion
to the debate and division of the former evening,
observed, that, as it was the distinct object of their
Lordships to gain as much information as they could,
he thought there ought not to be any objection to
allow this power of selecting the places where his
Majesty's Government thought it was most 11:‘cly
to be obtained.

Lord FARNHAM said, that, as the object of his
moving the Amendment, on a former occasion, was,
to obtain information from the Kingdom generally,
he could not object to a Clause of that description.
The Clause was then agreed to.
Lord ELLENBOROUGH asked, if it was the
Noble Viscount's intention to publish the Averages
thus taken ? _

Lord GODERICH did not know any way by
which fraud could be prevented unless from pub-
lication.

Earl STANHOPE wished to know whether the
Noble Viscount had any objection to take the evi-
dence respecting the prices from the buyer as well
as the seller ? He thought that the best method to
prevent fraud in the Averages.
Lord GODERICH said, certainly not. In a
comAtry market there might be 700 sellers, and only
one or two buyers; and he thought it would lead to
endless confusion. Such a course too was, he knew,
very unpalatable to the farmers.
The Marquis of SALISBURY and Lord STANHOPR
declared they believed the farmers had no objection.
Lord GODERICH said he had inquired into
that matter, and every every person to whom he ap-
plied said, " For God's sake, don't do that—it will
lead to confusion beyond imagination."
The Bill was then read a third time, and passed.
The Mutiny Act Amendment Bill, the Canada
Clergy Reserves' Bill, the Small Debts' Recovery
Bill, the Sale of Bread (Ireland) Bill, and several
other Bills, were read a second time, and ordered to
be committed to-morrow.

The Exchequer Bills' Bill went through a Com-
mittee, and was ordered to be reported to-morrow.
Their Lordships then adjourned at Eight o'Clock.

FRENCH PAPERS. .
(From the Etoile, dated Sunday, June 53.)
" PARIS, JUNE 23.—We announced several days
ago that a treaty was going to be signed betvvel
the five great Powers to save the Greeks. W e
have since had to lament the deplorable events that
have taken place before Athens.
" We are happy to be able now to announce, that
decisive orders, conformable to preceding arrange
molts, have been given by Russia, France, und Ent
land, to unite their respective fleets, and to separate
the combatants. The measure is tardy, but we hope
it will still be useful.

" The Augsburg Gazette states (from the from
tiers of Poland) that the interrogatories of the Po'
lish conspirators are terminated, but that a printed,
report is expected shortly to appear at Pete-sburgbi
to acquaint Europe with all the circumstances of the
investigation. Such is the wish of the Emperor
Nicholas, whose will it is that all the legal and in'
mutable forms of justice shall be observed. It 0.
thought that some are convicted of high treason, 5;
they were informed of the Russian conspiracy, and
had promised, in case it succeeded, to overturn the
Russian Government in Poland, and till a constr
tuent assembly could be convoked to give the Dl,v
tatorship to a Polish General residing in a foreign
country. It seems that the Polish conspirators re'
jetted with horror the proposal to assassinate till
Czarowitsch at Warsaw, saying that no Pole had
ever made an attempt on the life of his Sovereign'
It is thought that if the interview which has been
spoken of between the Emperor and the King of
Prussia should take place at Warsaw, it cannot be
before the autumn.

We received last night, by the William Jol-

inst•, of which the following are extracts.
The steam communication with St. Peters-
burg]► appears likely to meet with a serious im-
Pedinlent in an existing regulation, under an
ill'Perial 'Ukase, which prevents the departure of

fourteen days' notice of his intention :

In consequence of this, permission to import foreign corn

and besides this, his Majesty, in order to afford means to
dispose of our superfluity, has allowed, from this time, the
free exportation of corn."

. .
ron-mentioned some time since that a Russian
sq
.
- uaaof considerable force, was fitting at
CITIIStadt. ryas
Is' intelligence has since received
full confirmation: and we learn, by the Dutch
Papers, received last ni,,b
'3-'4, that this squadron con-
sists of nine ships of the line,
eight frigates, and
some smaller vessels. Its destination is stated by
these Papers to be the Archipelago, of which
there can be little doubt, when we Combine with
equipment at this moment the intelligence re-
ceived from. Paris of the intended interposition
between Turkey and Greece by the Naval Powers
of Europe. But, if this Russian Fleet (for it
really deserves that name) be actually intended for
operations in the Mediterranean, we must again
asses t, that it will become the '.l.uty of our Govern-
ment likewise to send a powerful squadron into
that Sea,—not that any large force will be re-
quisite to act against the Turks, for a very
few British frigates and sloops would extermi-
nate the Turkish Navy, if operations against it
41Ould eventually be necessary,—but we con-
t" ad, that such proceeding will be advisable,
N'eith the view of maintaining that naval superio-
l'itY in appearance, as well as in fact, in the Me-
ditert
anean, which might deter the Russian Go-

vernmeut from -atir-preeeedingg,,. through the
r
agency of its. fleei,, ,'whi*Ch May be inconsistent'
with the honour or interests of Great
If a Russian squadron, of the extent of that now
fitting at Cronstadt, should actually proceed to
the Archipelago, there can be no reasonable
doubt that some other object is held in view
than the termination of the hostilities between
the combatants. The long-cherished wish of
Russia to obtain the command of the passage of
the Dardanelles, will probably prove to be the
motive which has urged her to interpose in behalf
of Greece ; and the simultaneous equipment of a
fleet for the Archipelago, and the review of troops
at Wiasmar, with the declared intention of their
subsequent advance to the Southern provinces of
the Empire, are conclusive proofs, in our minds,
of the real' objects of the Cabinet of St. Peters-
burgh. If this object were once accomplished,
the extensive naval means which Russia possessei
in the Black Sea would be available for services
in the Mediterranean; and We should conse-.
quently be obliged at all times to maintain a
much larger fleet in that Sea than
.we have
hitherto had occasion to do. We therefore view
with some degree of uneasiness the intended large
increase of the naval force of Russia in the
Mediterranean, not so much on account of the
increase which it may occasion to our present
expences as in its future possible consequences.

Abstractedly speaking, we should rather
.rejoice
at any event which might lead to an increase, of
our naval force in commission, being convinced
that the future interests, safety, and glory of the
country must be maintained by our Navy.

Frankfort Papers, and the Allgenzeine Zeitzog
of the 19th inst. have been received this morning.
The latter contains some observations upon the
THIRTY-TWO Poles who have been convicted in
the Commission of Inquiry instituted by the
Emperor NICHOLAS, but the fate of the pri-
soners is still involved in mystery. The
journal argues that some difference must be
made in the sentence of those Poles who
belonged to Warsaw and those of the pro-
vinces formerly incorporated with Russia, be-
cause the laws affecting conspiracy are different.
in both countries. This seems but just, but we
apprehend if his Imperial Majesty's clemency
extends to the Poles, by banishment to Siberia,
that they will not have much reason to envy the
more summary fate of their fellow-convicts, who
Meet death on the scaffold. That punishment
is surely the worst,

" Which still delays—to aggravate its curse;"
and Russia is peculiarly happy in having the
wilds of Siberia for the exercise of its Imperial
vengeance. To kill by inches betokens some
consideration in the punishment, as it affords
time for clemency, if so disposed; to whisper
forgiveness before the culprit is altogether
destroyed. Now, the bowstring or the axe
sets mercy at defiance. The Russians have
therefore the advantage of re-considering their
acts before correction becomes too late—a
very desirable circumstance where the ruling dis-
position is naturally hasty. The following ex-
tracts show that Poland is at present in a very
had state with respect to the depreciation in the
price of Corn—the produce of the taxes being
consumed in support of the military establish-
ment, and loss of the trade in horses, which
was formerly enjoyed by the Southern Provinces
of Poland:—

" The depreciation in the prices of corn, and the stagna-
tion of trade and commerce, are of course very sensibly felt
in the kingdom of Poland, as well as in other countries.
We hope, however, that through the English Corn Laws,
however limited, some exportations will take place from
Dantzic. For if the Berlin bushel of wheat is sold at only
two dollars, there yet will be some profit, on account of
the low freight from Danzig to England. The greater
part of the taxes and imports drawn from this impoverished
country, is expended :n the support of the great military es-
tablishment. Formerly Poland had the advantage of sup-
plying from its southern provinces, horses for the cavalry of
the North of Europe. This of course underwent a total
change at the end of the last century. Poland, now so re-
duced in extent, is obliged to purchase almost all its horses.
But even the Russian breeding of horses in the Ukraine
and Volhynia, formerly so profitable, is no longer what it
was. It has been extremely injured by the rigorous pro-
hibition of selling of horses to foreign countries, issued by
the Emperor Alexander five years ago. For the high
prices formerly paid by foreign countries for the superior
racers and for cavalry horses are now lost, and the encou-
ragement to breeding being taken away, the landowners
show little inclination to attend to it. The Rus,':in Govern-
ment has probably become sensible of this, and in this instance
as in others, the injurious effects of this rigorous system of
prohibition have become more manifest. On the other
hand, the Prussian studs have doubled and tripled within
these few years, especially in the kingdom of Prussia,
which, by its extensive pasturages on the Vistula and the
sea-coasts, is so peculiarly adapted to the breeding of
horses. The great Royal stud, at Treken, has now 3000
horses. These are very noble animals. Many go to Po-
land and Russia, the Prussian mark being effaced by burn-
ing at the frontiers.

" Nothincr is now said of the arrival of the Emperor
Nicholas at Warsaw, or of an interview with the King of
Prussia. It clan scarcely take place till the end of summer,
or in autumn. The King of Prussia will go earlier than
usual to Toplitz for the recovery of his health, which is
still weak, in consequence of the breaking of his leg, and
will hardly return to Berlin before the end of August.—
The Empress Alexandra expects her accouChement, and it
is not at all likely that the Emperor will go without her
to visit the King of Prussia.

MUNICH, JUNE 14.
His Majesty the King is expected to leaTe his seat at
Colombella 15th June, and to return home by the lake of
Como and Switzerland.

We have been prevented by want of spaCe
from giving insertion to an interesting account
of the annual meeting of the Midland Catholic
Association, which was held at Birmingham last
week. The Rev. Mr. MACDONNELL, one of
the Secretaries, addressed the meeting in a very
able and animated speech, in the course of which
he observed— •
" Lord Liverpool is reported to have enlivened his argu-
ments, when, in referring to us, he said, that those only
why had full work, ought to receive full pay; but my Lord
Liverpool certainly must have forgot that we bad full work
and no pay. Let me ask, what are th© burdens of the
State that the Catholic does not take his share in? and,
indeed, in some, cases he has taken more than his share,
which will be obvious to you when you observe that there
has been an endeavour recently to free him from paying
double Land Tax. But the glory of Catholic loyalty is to
be seen on every sea that has wafted a vessel, and on
every part of the Continent where the British arms have
shone.—(Lcud applause.)--What wars are there, let me
ask, that have not been purpled with the blood of the

British Catholic?
.11711 at trumpet !nut tailed the troops to
conquest, that has not called the Catholic to glory-and to
death? I Would, indeed; ask the Duke of Wellington if, in the
battle's roar, he could distinguish the Cathoiic soldier from
the Protestant--or whether, amid the confusion that ex-
isted in the conflict, he could not discern the Catholic
plunging his bayonet into the side of his Protestant com-
rade—whether lie could perceive that he was a coward and
forsook his ranks, while the Protestant was brave and stood
to his arms ?:----(Loud and continued applause.)—lt is not
then, because the Catholic does not pay all the exactions
which the law makes upon him—it is not that he is less
brave than others in the battles of the country—it is not
that he is niggard of his life's blood, that he is subjected to
penalties and pains—No ! It is because he prays to the
Virgin Mary, because he believes in the doctrine of Tran-
substantiation, and worships God according to the dictates
of his conscience. We have seen, then, according to Lord
Liverpool's principle, that we are entitled to full pay, having
done, at least, an equal share of work with our fellow-
labourers."

In another part of his speech, talking of Mr.
PEEL, the Reverend Gentleman is reported to
have said—

" }le now, forsooth, founds his arguments on the doc-
trine of Confession. It ii no 'longer divided allegiance—
no longer the doctrine of Transubstantiation that is a
barrier—no, nothing now but on account of our holding
the doctrine of Confession, as if, indeed, that had any thing
to do with Mr. Peel. He has found out too, that we have
left out the Second Commandment from the Decalogue.
This charge was, however, met in a successful way by the
Archbishop of Dublin, who pointed out to him the different
arrangements of the Commandments, and proved that
not one had been omitted. Let me just remind Mr.
Peel, that if we had not only left out the second
Commandment, but had annihilated them altogether, then
he would have cherished us—then he would have opened
his heart to us, and welcomed us to his right hand, and
thought us worthy to sit by his side; and who knows
but he might even'have appointed a Papist
,to the high
office of 'Keeper of the Kines Conscience.',--(Laughter
and applause.) But, AIC. Peel, let me remind you that
there, are more commandments than two, and that if we
haVe omitted one, Yon have Omitted another, and that is,
Thou shalt not bear false witness against• thy neighbour.'
(Loud
applause:) ' These: seem,•then,•to.:be the mature
of the charges that are periodically set ,up for the protec-
tion of what are called' The Bulwarks of the Country,'
and while Mr. Peel and others are attacking us in the front,
we have others attacking us in the flank, who cry that the
Church is in danger. Now, will any one believe, that the
very fOUndations of the Established Church are in danger,
and that this Institution, which has braved almost every
thing, would not exist, but so long as the Catholics were
held in subjection? lam quite sure, that if I thought my
Religion was not founded on a surer basis than th:s,
would this instant, renounce it, and become a Protestant."

But we can only give insertion to one more
extract, from this eloquent speech :

" At a late public dinner given at Liverpool to some
friends, I had occasion to make a strong objection to a
transparency at one end of the room, which exhibited Hi-
bernia on her knees, supplicating Britannia to grant her
her liberty. Now, Ido declare that I would not place
myself in such an attitude; I would never kneel to my
oppressor.—(Loud and continued cheering, )—All I ask is
that the present Cabinet may deal fairly with us. Let
them hold the balance even, leaning to neither side, and I
do not fear the result. The speaker went.on to, observe,
that it was in order not to embarrase his Majesty's Go-,
♦ernment that their question was not brought before the.
House this Session, and even if it had been appointed to
be heard, and he were to hear such men as Peel, Eldon—.
and, above all, the excellent Mr. DaWson—(Laughter)--
urging them to bring forwatd the question, that their
rights might not be delayed them a single day, he should;
when be• heard such men .as these watching so etre-.
nuously over their interests, take it for granted 'that it would
be very advisable to withdraw the measure for a time."

Mr. BLOUNT, Mr. F. CANNING, and Mr.
ACTON, also addressed the Meeting in a very
able manner. The latter Gentleman is said to
have spoken most eloquently, though a very
young man. He quoted some lines, which
should cheer, the oppressed in every age, and
in every clime :

That freedom's battle, once begun,
Bequeath'd by dying sire to son,
Though baffled oft, is ever won."
And they should at the same time be a warning
to the oppressor, whether Turk or Orangeman—
that his unhallowed cause must meet with ulti-
mate defeat, and that it would be far wiser to en-
joy his own share of happiness, undiminished by
the corroding influence of those malignant pas-
sions which are excited in an effort to impose
chains on his fellOw man.

THE FUNDS--(THIS DAY).

CITY, Twelve o' Clock.

The speculators and dealers in the English Funds seem
sadly puzzled how to direct their views, either for a rise or
fall, and this uncertainty has almost put a stop to any trans-
actions for the present. Consols opened this morning at
86f and the only variation, up to the above hour, was
their being 86i-, sellers, for a few minutes, when they re-
covered to their opening price, at which they continue.
India Bonds seem to he still on the advance, being 86 8 ;
Exchequer Bills, 53 5 pm. A corresponding want of
business seems to affect the Foreign Funds with those of
the British Securities, and scarcely any business is doing ;
Colombian 6 per Cent. Bonds are 30, sellers; Mexican
are rather heavy at 704 ; Brazilian, from a strong impres-
sion of peace being likely to take place (if this event has
not already happened) between that Government and Buenos
Ayres, has caused this Stock to be looking up, and they
are now 59 60 ; Greek are 164 ; and a confident hope
is still entertained that the interference of the European
powers will be effectual in putting an end to the murder-
ous warfare which has so long existed. By the post utters
we observe that the Enterprise steamer has at length sailed
from Plymouth for the Mediterranean, but it is difficult to
believe that some disaster may not occur to her before she
gets out, and even when there if she proves at all useful;
the Greek cause has, indeed, been so injured, from the com-
mencement to the present time, by the parties who have
managed it, that little is left to hope. The Bonds of Fer-
dinand have been doomed to further disgrace, and have
fallen to 11i, sellers. Shares are quoted at rather more
favourable prices, but there is nothing doing.

LAW INTELLIGENCE-4MS DAY.)

‘f.41",1 COURT OF CHANCERY.
f :WELLESLEY V. DUKE OF BEAUFORT.

Mr..BROUGHAM moved that the Court would be pleased
to direct that all the proceedings in this ease before the
Master, upon the order of this Court, made on the Ist of
February last, should be stayed until the appeal now pend-
ing in the House of Lords be determined, or until further
orders. The'ground of making this motion, the Learned
Counsel thought exceedingly short and simple. The order
was made by Lord Eldon sending it to the Master to take
proposals for the appointment of a guardian of the infant
children of Mr. Wellesley. Proposals had gone in of two
persons, one was a near relation of Mr. Wellesley, for
whom Mr. Brougham appeared. Mr. W. had been object-
ed to as the guardian on various grounds, and upon those
grounds the custody of his children had been taken
from him. An appeal had been lodged in the House
of Lords, first denying the jurisdiction of this Court with
respect to taking children from their parent, and next upon
the facts. An application had been made to the House to
have the appeal advanced, but in consequence of the near
approach to the close of the Session, the appeal could not
be hurried on before the next meeeting of Parliament.
The fruits of the appeal would be lost to Mr. W., there-
fore, should the proceedings now be allowed to proceed in
the Master's office, for there was a warrant at present pend-
ing to consider the proposal. The names of the indivi-
duals that had been proposed he would abstain from
mentioning in public, because the evidence to be
brought for Ward against their appointments would have
to be of a personal nature, and would bring for-
ward facts that would give Mr. Wellesley the greatest
lain to have to enter into. The question would be whe-
ther those two individuals were more fit to have the care
and custody of the children than their father ? The inves-
tigation would lead to a line of conduct most personal and
invidious, and, therefore, Mr. Wellesley wished, if possible,
not to be forced to enter into it; consequently he prayed
the staying of the proceedings, until it was ascertained
whether the House of Lords would reverse the order that
had been made, and thereby put an end to further pro-
ceedings. There was a case in 14 Vesey, page 184,
which showed that the Court could interfere to stay pro-
ceedings in Such a case as this, pending an appeal to the
Lords. Lord Eldon not only suggested the propriety, but
courted .an appeal, stating that it would be the greatest
relief to him, to find that an appeal would be brought.
_ .

Mr. BEAMES thought the only ground of objection that
could be made to this application, would be, the delay that
had taken place, but which, in his opinion, could not sup-
port the other side one moment. The order was pro-
nounced by Lord Eldon, on the Ist of February ; an ap-
peal was:presented on the 10th of March ; the respondents
did not carry in their state of facts to the House of Lords
till the 24th of April ; in the latter end of that month a war-
rant was taken cut to proceed on that state of facts; on
the l Itii of May the appellants lodged their case in support
of the appeal ; the consent of the parties agreeing to
take Upon themselves the guardianship was not verified
till tha.' 31-th of May, when the registry of the baptism
of the children was also verified ; on the 18th of May
the appeal was referred to an Appeal Committee, anti
it was.not till the Bth of June the appellants could obtain
any order upon their appeal—consequently, no delay had
taken place. If any objection was to be made on the ground
that the children had not a provision, Mr. W. had no ob-
jecteMi that an order for their 'provision should be made out
of the fonds. The children were in perfectly safe custody,
and that custody which the Lord Chancellor had approved
of," until proper guardians could be appointed.
Mr. TionwE regretted that he had been obliged to be
absent at the sitting of the Court, though he had but very
little to say. The late Lord Chancellor bad almost urged
an appeal to the Lords, and the children were situated, as
well as they could possibly be, until all hostile proceedings
respecting. them were entirely set at rest; therefore no in-
jurysicroCulirderse7llVtztonitlitießmittfit.oamppdeealraeyd. to oppose the motion.
If ever any judgment was pronounced by Lord Eldon
without diffidence, without personal distrust, without he-
sitation, his judgment that Mr. W. ought not to be en-
trusted with the care or custody of his children, was deli-
vered, and without those doubts which had been often er-
roneously attributed to too large an extent to that eminent
and Noble Lord. It was the greatest mistake to suppose
that the law was in medico with respect to Mr. W.'s right
to the custody of his children. It had been clearly and dis-
tinctly decided, in the most solemn manner, that it would
not permit him to have the children. Mr. Brougham had
said he would not mention names; he would only say A.
and B. had 'been proposed to the Master, and
that it would be extremely unpleasant for Mr. W.
to bring forward the objections he would be obliged to do.
Now he (Sir Clunks W.) would throw off this mask. Ile
appeared for Messrs. A. and B. and those gentlemen, he
begged to say, were the Duke of Wellington and Colonel
Windsor ; whenever the criticisms, or threats, or insinua-
tions, held out by Mr. B. came to be discussed in the Mas-
ter's Office, they would be fully met. It was not to be
supposed that an embargo was to be laid on the proceedings
in the Office, because Mr. W. thought proper to come here
and say he had objections to make to those gentlemen of a
personal nature, which he was most anxious should
net appear before the public. The other side had
said, it was competent for this Court to suspend
the proceedings until the appeal could be heard,
which was 'perfectly true, where a case for it was
made out. The gentlemen, too, had said the children
were in safe custody, and that they could remain where
they are, without injury, for nine or ten months longer,
which would be the time that must elapse 'ere the appeal
could be heard. This was a most singular paint indeed
for Mr. W. to have instructed his Counsel to raise, be-
cause, by having done so, he must have forgot the attack
lie made on the character of those ladies, when the
cause was discussed ;—he must have forgot that he
had sworn they were Methodists—that they were unfit
persons to have the care of the children's education, he
must have forgot the ribaldry, the dirt, filth, and every
abuse he could think of or rake up, which he had thrown
on those ladies. Thus far, therefore, as the case depended
on Mr. W. personally, there was a gross inconsistency.
As to the appeal to the House of Lords, he thought some
snore exertion might have been used to have got the appeal
heard there by this time.
His LORDSHIP believed, from what he had learned else-
where, that the earliest possible application had been made
to the Lords; that the Appeal Committee had been most
anxious to have got the appeal heard before the close of
these Sessions, but that they could not make arrangement
for it.

Sir C. WETHERELL did not then further insist on the point
of delay ; but, for his life, he could not see what practical
mischief would result from the stay of the proceedings now
sought ; nor what practical reasoning could call for it.—_
Not only were the parties not injuring, but benefiting the
children, in proceeding forthwith to have the appointment
of guardians made, because, should the House of Lords af-
firm the judgment that had been pronounced, there will
have been no suspense or unnecessary delay. If Mr. W,
objected to the appointment of the Duke of Wellington and
Colonel Windsor now, he would be equally at liberty to
dispute the propriety of their appointment afterwards,
should the Master approve of them ; and, therefore, it
would only be delaying the contest between Mr. W. and
those two warriors to put off the prosecution of the pro-
ceedings.

His- Lonnsmr wished to know what inconvenience
would result to the children by allowing them to remain
where they are for a few months longer.
Sir CHARLES WETHERELL believed it was deemed
desirable to have their course of education more de-
cidedly fixed upon as speedily as possible. lie understood
that the wishes of all the family were, that they should be
sent to Eton.

His Loanstizr did not think the delaying the proceedings
in the Master's Office would interfere with such an ar-
rangement.
Sir CHARLts WITHERFLL could not see that any case
whatever had been niade for the Court's interference; and
in the, absence of such a case he submitted, the Court ought
not to interfere.

Mr. StrAowELL was on the same side. He understood
that the only ground on which the other side rested their
case was, that Lord Eldon had solicited the parties to
appeal. It was a known fact, that not more than three or
four of that Noble Lord's decisions had ever been reversed ;
as well known was it, that his Lordship had courted in
much more strong terms, in many eases than he had done
in the present, individuals to take the opinion of the Lords,
and ,vbere his judgments had not been altered. He had
given this judgment after the most labcrious and drudging
search into all the facts connected with the case, and that
decision had been pronounced in the most clear and decided
manner against the right of interference on the part of Mr.
Wellesley. The Court, therefore, had every reason to
conclude, that the appeal, whenever it might be heard,
would make no difference in the order. It was of the
greatest importance to have the course of education, &c.,
fixed upon, recollecting that the girl was now nine, and
the boys eleven and fourteen years old.
Mr. Hoary replied, be felt a consolation in reflecting
that any thing from the aide on which he appeared had
not provoked any of the unpleasant observations that had
been made. No injury would result to the children from
delay ; the father was most anxious to get rid of that order
which had deprived hint of all paternal power, as every
natural parent ought to be, and he trusted the Court

would tap the proeeedinge. One thing mere fo be mot•
tioned was, that Mr. W. was very anxious respecting the
health of the children, he had heard that one of the boys
wae,ill, and he was desirous of sending his own physician
to visit the boy, in order to give him correct information
respecting him. He hoped this permission would be
granted.
Sir CHARLES WETHERELL objected to it.
His Loanstur could not grant his permission, at all
events, until he was apprised who the physician was : he
considered the better way would be to give a notice that
Mr. W. meant to make such an application. With re-
spect to the application now discussed before the Court,
he had every reason to believe, (if he was at liberty
to believe any thing regarding it) that Lord El-
don's judgment would be confirmed by the House of Lords;
but it was now in a course of further inquiry, and as no
injury could result to any party by the proceedings being
stayed for the present in the Master's Office, and as great
inconvenience would be occasioned from the proceedings
oing on at present, should the judgment hereafter be re-
versed, it appeared to the Court to be most advisable that
further proceedings should he stayed until the appeal could
he heard by the House of Lords. The prayer of the motion
was accordingly granted.

VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.
EXPENSIVENESS OF CHANCERY PRO-
CEEDINGS.

EXPARTE CUMMING IN THE MATTER OF CAYENAQH.

This petition was placed at the head of the paper for this
morning, but was subsequently directed to stand over until
the regular business of the day was gone through.
Mr. PFIIIIERTOX having alluded to the great number of
affidavits filed in it,

The VICE-CHANCELLOR strongly condemned the prac-
tice of overloading a case with affidavits, frequently con-
taining matter impertinent to the real merits of the ques-
tion. The practice was now carried to such a length as to
become a crying evil. The poor suitors were not compe-
tent to form as opinion on the subject, and rested
satisfied because all was done under legal advice, In
end, however, the costs of all this disgraceful pro:.ee:iien.
falls on them. There was no scourge en Revue to the
suitors of this Court, as the departure from its wholesome
rules, and yet all the expensiveness of its proceedings was
attributed to the constitution of the Court itself. Solicitors
(said his Honour) who conduct with discretion the eases of
their clients, are entitled to, and must always have, the
protection of the Court ; but when they act from extreme
ignorance, or some worse motive, the Court will take care
that their clients are not burthened, or their own pockets
filled, by such unworthy means. This Court must not be
made a means of oppression. His Honour, in answer to
an observation from Counsel, said, thlt these remarks were
not intended to apply to the particular case then before the
Court, but to the general abuse.
