nas grown immensely rich, and its riches have excited cu.
rusty to examine into its title to such wealth. It is rinse
stated that it has no deed, and never had any, for
30.000,1(10 or 35,000,0(10 dollar, worth of real estate
which it has in its t ossec,ion, and enjoys the rent of. It
belonged, up to the revolution, to the Crown of England,
and was then known as the " King's farm." It passed,
by the reveilevioir, to the ownership of the State of New
York ; and to the people of the State of New York,
some say it r;ghtfully beings at thi. tnomeet., Of course,
the presaect or falling heir to such a snug little sum has
excited much interest among the citizens. and the jour-
nals of New York city are calling upon the L-gislature
to rendet justice to theStete by giving it what legally be-
longs to it.— Philadelphia Paper.
JUDGas' PERQUISMES.—Curd Ellenborough died po..
sessed of ample wealth, wealth, which has been comput. d
to amount to .1240.000. So munificent a fortune may be
easily accounted for. There were three offices of very
considerable value at the disposal of the Chief Justice of
the King's Bench ; those of the Chief Clerk, the Cu.tos
Brevium, arid Clerk of the Outlawries. The sale of these
offices is now most ltle abolished, as inconsistent with
the digni y and independence of t!le judicial station.
Luckily for Lerd Ellettborough, two of these places fell
vacant shorty atter his appointment. He refaced
£BO.OOO, which was offered for the disposal of the Chief
Clerkship; and until his sin was of age to receive it,added
its amount, which was £7OOO a-year, to his own salary ;
realizing thus an income of .£16,0h0. a sum considerably
larger than wan enjoyed by those who immediately pre=
ceded and pucreeded him. It ...quailed, nay, in some
years exceeded, that of the Lord Chancellor, and justi-
fied, even in a wortdly sene, rise sagacity of the learned
Lord's decision, when in 1806 he refuted the seals.—
Townsend's Eminent Judges.
THE GREAT SEAL—At the commencement of a new
reign, or on a (uart;e o, the royal arms, an order is made
by the sovereign is council, for using a new Great Seal :
the old one is publicly broken. and the fragments become
the fee of the chancellor. This being the general rule,
an amicable contest arose upon the subject some years
since. Lord Lyndhurst was Chancellor, on the accession
of William IV., when, by ait order in council, a new great
seal was ordered to be prepared by his Majesty's en-
greyer ; but when it was finished, and an order was made
for using it, Lord Brougham was Chancellor. Lyndhurst
cl-tim-d the old great seal, on the ground that the tran-
saction must be referred back to the date of the first
order, and that the fruit must therefore be conedeted to
have fallen in his time; while Brougham insisted that the
point of time to he regarded was the moment when the
old great seal ceased to be the '' anvil repni." and that
there wan no exception to the general rule. The matter
being submitted to the -king, it was adjudged that the old
great seal should be divided between the two litigants;
and as it consisted of two parts for making an impression
on both Mors of the wax appended to letters patent—one
representing the sovereign on the throne, arid the other
on horsehai k —the destiny of the two parts irspectively
should beiletermined by lot. Tne king graci ar-ly ordered
each dart to be set in a splendid sa'ser, with appropriate
devices arid ornaments, and then presented them to the
parties concerned. The ceremony of breaking, or " da-
nia-kinz," the old great seal, consists in the sovereign
giving it a gentle blow with a hammer ; atter which it is
supposed to be broken and has lost all its virtue.
WiSRAEI I ON THE PEEL CONVEHSION.—'• In other
revolutions there had been a ate uggie between contending
!invit., arid the weakest tell, but this is the first time of a
great change—no less than a revolution in the material
system which regulates the industry of the greatest nation
in the world—perpetrated in such a manner that I cannot
compare the struggle to a fair encounter—to the glorious
days of Waterloo, but to an expression which has been
used in another place—to a stab in the beck. (Cheers.)
it was indeed one of those oereetratiolis worthy of the
Italian middle sees, she', the poiot of the stiletto, or the
visoned womb of he goblet, settled the tate of an indi-
vidual. (Cheers.) Wh,tever may be the consequences of
this chenge, I will say that the change bas beau conceived
in panic and cuneutionated in treachery. (Cheers.) W e

rage ot the assassin. The protectionist. had to fight an
unexpected bat.le, arid the difficulties wa experienced
were ea sl ght, tor a hen we assembled together we had

and to dibei.lsoe our army. (Cheers.) You will readily
believe that it was no agreeable even, to find partisan tit

bad assisted in placing at the head of of affairs only five
years ago. To such as mainta n that we outht not to

ported, I answer, if you ask a man to dine with you, and
detect him ate alireg silver spoons, it is no bre ch ot tieepi-

among the jenisartee or renegades venturing to take their

into troublesome contegion walk about the House of
Commons as if they bore the yellow flag, I sea great
moral lesson ; and whether the principles of free trade
are right or erring, it is well for the morality of England
that these gentlemen were expelled from power. (Loud
