_WELSH SLATE, COPPER, AND LEAD MINING .
COMPANY.
THE DIRECTORS of this COMPANY beg to
-a— inform the SHA REHOLDERS, that the Deputztion having
now returned to London, after inspecting the Quarries, &c.
of-
fs: to the Company in North Wales, a Report from them will,
in the course of a few days, be made to the Proprietors, and
which, it is hoped, give general satisfaction.
By Order of a Director,
PHILIP BORTON, Secretary.
3, Broad-street Buildings.

said by any one desirous of doing ja,tice, oar -IA hatesere
side his feelings might happen to lie, that the Lord
Chancellor of England was in receipt of ilifS.s,ooo a-yeat.
The idea that he was accumulating wealth was a fa-
vourite topic with his opponent, but was it to .be ex-
pected that when a man was old he should grt shoved
about and abused and misrepresented in ail teTects
which might have a tendency to excite the public mind
against,him? He was extremely happy that this Bill
had come under the consideration of Parliament. It
appeared that while the salaries of the Puisne Judge!:
were augmented, tho-of the Chief Justices were not
advanced because of the offizes which they had to give
away. With respect to these rffices, which the Noble
Lord called sinetures, they were as much the property
of the individual now possessing them as any' of their
Lordships' estates acquired during the reign of Queen
Anne. It was a mistake to think that the &piny could
of himself b., sufficient to fulfil the office. The super-
intendence of the principal was necessary Co be applied
day after day, and .unless the principal was to cake
charge of such superintendence, many individuals in the
country. would suffer much from such neglect. A 3 to
the Court of Chancery, there was now a Commission
inquiring into the :abject, .which would, he hoped,
bring forward everything connected with the elbject
upon either side, so as fo afford a correct and impartial
view of the case. If the result should be to attach
blame to hits, he would hive doe consolation to console-
him under any censure, that be had always done the
best in his power,- and he hoped that those whq sue.
(*tried him would be able to do better. It might, perhaps, be
thought a little matter, that in a great country, one man should be
sacrificed to the prevalence of popular outcry. But he would tea
the Noble Lord, that if the object of pulling down persons whis
tilled great situations in the judicial or religious establishments
were to succeed, the other Nobles could not last long after auk
a result.

The Earl GROSVENOR said, be did not mean to assert that
the office of the Noble and Learned Lord was overpaid in casein.
nest. AU he meant to state was, that the patronage was so
considerable, as to be at least as important as the emolument itself.
Lord REDESDALE maintained, that the life of no
man could be adequate to such a task as that of alter-
ing the whole system of the Court of Chancery. That
system was founded upon the wisdom of ale;, and those
who had interiered with it, could only prove their own
weakness and incompetency. The extravagant idea of
a sweeping and instantaneous reform, Weil became the head of the
Noble Earl, who could alone have indulged k.— The Bill was then
read a third time and passed.
INTEREST or SIONET IN INDIA.
Chief Justice Bar, in the absence of the Lord Chief Justice,
delivered the opinion of the Judges, as to the construction put upon
the 13th Geo. 111. The • Learned Judge declared that opinion to
be in favour of the Bill before their Lordships. The rate of inte-
rest in England was, he observed no guide, for, even in these cows.
tries there was a different rate in England and Ireland ; and in our
foreign dependencies, a difference between the West Indies and the
East. The decision of the Supreme Court of Bengal was also in their
favour,when they stated that the Act, as it stood before, was inade-
quate without farther interpretation.
The Bill for reguliting the Rate of Interest in India was then
read a second time, on the motion of the Marquis of llamas,.
HOUSE OF COMMONS.
The House was summoned. to the Ilona* of Peers to he* the
Royal Assent given by Commission to several Public and Priv6us
Bills—(See the Lords Report).
A person from the Treasury presented a copy of the Report of
the Elder Brethren of the Trinity house.
Mr. CALVERT presented a Petition from W. H. Yates, Esq.
complaining of various abuses in the Borough of Hereford. Laid
on the table.
Sullivan's Divorce Bill was read a second time, and committed
for to•morrow.
The &. Thomas's Hospital Bill was read a third time, and passed.
Mr. HOBHOUSE presented a Petition from certain Pawn_
brokers of the City of Westminster, against die Equitable Loan
Bill. The Honourable Gentleman hoped the country. was opening
Its eyes to the various speculations that weie afloat, and that they
would receive no c•untenance from his Majesty's Government.
Mr. BERNAL presented a Petition from Frances Cunningham,
complaining of the delay and expense she had experienced in the
Court of Chancery. Since the death of her husbind, in 1809, the
costs amounted to 1E1,153, and the whole or the property was only
11,436. The Petitioner had been for ti year and ten months in the
Fleet Prison, from which she was at last released ; was then in the
78th year of her age, and was supported at the expense of the
parish of Greenwich. He (Mr. Bernal) made no complaint against
the Noble Person at the head of that Court, but thought much
alteration was needful in the Masters' Offices.

Mr. Secretary PEEL would take earn that the Petition should
be laid before the Coramissiesers appointed to inquire into the
Court of Chancery.
Mr. CA LCRA PT hoped that It the present Commluion should
not make a satisfactory• Report, another and a more impaitial one
would be appointed.

Mr. Secretary PEEL said, that the patience of the Home
would be exhausted, if a Report should not be made apinst the
next &Scion.
Mr. LITTLETON postponed the adjoerned debate on the pri-
vate business of the House till to-morrow.
!MOUNTS IN • GOLD. •
Mr.HUME adverted to the Petition he had presented
in the last week. He bad made inqtriry,and be leaned
chat gold had been refused by a banker in. Bristol, in
payment of his notes. That he believed had proceeded
from a mistake on the part of some person connected
with the Bank. Bank of England notes had been of-
fered, and gold refused to the Petition-r, who, since the
Petition bad been presented,had been offered gold for his
notes; but he wished to have a legislative declaratio!,
on the subject. He (Mr. Hume) differed from his Hen.
Friend the Member for Winchelsea (Mr. Brougham) as to the
practicability of* obtaining redress. He thought a Bill should
forthwith be brought in to declare the law of the land, as r.h.l
could only be obtained for paper in London. He would move for
have to present the Petition which hr had formerly withdrawn.
Mr. H. DAVIS bore testimony to the respectability
of the banking-house alluded to. The Petitioner had
no right to appeal to the House, as he had applied to
a Court of Law, though he bad sadssegeauly .been offered gold.
It was now understood that aU country banks were bound so pay
to gold, and no good could arise from presenting the Petition.
Lord FOLKESTONE thought the grievance stated
was one of great. magnitude, and to which a remedy
ought, without loss of time, to be applied ; as it appeare.r
that at present gold could not be got is the country for
paper. By a legal remedy, a year and a half mig). t
elapse before gold could be obtained. Almost all V-c
circulation in the country was in small bank notes. The Legts:a-
aare, when they sanctioned she issue of Al notes, made the hater
Sable, by a summary process, to pay theta inlaid in flare dap,—
That smutty had not hem re-enacted when the country bankers
had been allowed to ham small notes. If the Government asesilt
to act on the spirit of Mr. Peers Jill, the embalms tbeekl he 'Mine-
&stilly remedied.
Mr. H. GURNEY said, that the present waa.thstonly
case in which gold had been refused ; and that apPenal
to have arisen from mistake. The dreelatios of she
