bete wl.o glad-delivered opinions on the subject; but
be really could not help saying, that such of them
as reasoned thus were guilty of gr?at exaggeration
in argument. That the Chancellor should aban-
don altogether his judicial functions, was what
could never be in his contemplation, or that
of any other person • nor could he (Lord Castle-
reagh) perceive what there was to induce him to do so.
Could any one, he would ask, suppose that Lord
Eldon was a man who would be seen . walking the
greets while badness was transacting by a deputy in
-his Court 'those who could suppose such a thing
must be very ignorant of the character. of that No.
ble Person. It was contended, that the expellees of
the measure Should be defrayed entirely from the
profits of the Chancellor; and on this argument he
should non beg leave to, offer a few observations.—
lie had a fact to state. that the Noble Person who
row filled the office had, in the course _ot a
communication with a Committee of the House of
Lords, decked that the subject might be' considered
purely upon public grounds, and without any re-
ference wh ttsoever to his.advaetage. But assuredly
It would b the wish of the public that he should be
upheld, ail that, on the most liberal principles.-
-The Noble Lord then concluded by moving the Order
of thl D ty, that the Vice-Chancellor's Bill be read
a second lime.

M. BANKES observed, that two objections might
be male by the enemies of the Bill: one that there
was na reason for ally isionge; the other, that, ad.
wiltiltig a necessity for a change to eslist, the remedy
proposed was inefficient. On the first point ke con-
curred wi:11 his Noble Friend. The present state of
the administration of justice was certainly deplorable,
when delay was almost equal to denial. But the pre.
sent Bill went to iutrothice a great innovation upon
the whole of our Jurisprudence ;—[Hear n--and if
once it should be admitted, it could not easily be got
rid of. To obtain the sanction of that House, it
ihould be shown that the remedy proposed was the
best that the case admitted. 'the Preamble of the
Pill set forth the delays and difficulties in the admi-
nistration of justice. From this it might have been
imagined that the House of Lords would have taken
the speediest steps to get quit of the arrears uefore
their own Mouse. No such thing, they only passed
a Bill to relieve another person in another place.—
Should the Bill pass, there would be no security for
more dispatch of business than at present. It was
well known what steps that House took to enforce
the attendance of its Members, and it was natural to
think, from the Preamble of the Bill, that the Lords
would have taken some steps to enforce attendance
in their House, in order to get rid of their arrears.—
The Lord Chancellor did every thing in his power
to dispatch causes in the House of Lords, but he
might be left alone. The business in the House of
Lords would go on or stand still as usual, and the
,business in the Court of Chancery would fall into
the hands of an infirm person. Was it possible to
forget the delay in the. trial of Mr. Hastings, and
bow many years of suspense hung over that unhappy
individual i Tne Noble Lord to whom the Bill was
ascribed was not warranted in making some of the
remarks which had fallen from him, in imputing de.
Jay of justice to that House.• The ECU had been
brought late last Session into the House, and then
there was no time for discussion, and there had been
as little before the Christmas recess. One objection
to the Bill was, that any permanent measure of this
kind would make a great officer less efficient.. A
temptation would be also created for the Govern-
ment of the day to choose for Chancellor not the
best Lawyer, but the best Politician. It had been
proposed to separate the office of Chancellor from
that of Speaker of the House of LOrds ; such a step
be should not approve, except in a case of neces-
sity, and then' he could not see why a temporary
separation might not be made. Such an opinion, in
the earlier part of his political life, had been enter-
tained by Mr. Pitt. Temporary Speakers had been
frequently appointed by the Lords, ai Lord Mans-
.nd others. Neither could ht assent to the re-
marks of ids Noble Friend on the subject of bank-
rupt cases; in numerous cases many could be found
fully competet.t to do justice. The person who was
to act as Vice-Chancellor was to be a mere drudge,
and, like all drudges, was to be poorly paid by his
emele:,er. Look at the trammels in which this un-
bepey elan ea, to hound [a laugh], entirely under
tie contront of the. Chancellor, without whom he
could eat take a single step. He objected to the
principle of the Bill itself, and should therefore move
it to be read a second time this day six months.
Mr. hI‘DONALI) said, the evil complained of
was a stagnation of business in the Courts of Equity,
and the remedy olfzred was an entire new, modelling
of the (kart of Chancery. The Noble Lord had
talked t.f the equity of bankruptcy: this expression
• iltA, 0 bins unintelligilee. An allusion had been
amide uy ire Noble Lord (Cristlereagli) to the income
necessary to support the becoMing splendour and
dignity of the Lord. Chancellor of England. For
his own part, he (Mr. IVl'Donald) was far from
thieking 18,000 i. as an annual salary, by any means
too much, but regretted, °A the same time, its pro-
ceeding from so uoiliettified a source as it does at pre.
mutt.—Though lie did pot think any expedient
suggested by himself to be the- best calculated to
prelt,ce the d-sired effect; yet he could see
no reason why the nostrum of the Noble Lord
shoted b.. forced cpon the House, which, so far
from pr.anetis44, would counteract its declared object.
He co 4ceived the evil complained of to be of such
a stature, :i:at the Ilause could not only wipssaway

ground; the number of appeals to the Lords, with- vided, when there appeared
out any reference whatever to the evil in Chancery ; For the Aionutotent -
lSs
the two grounds should be distinctly stated in the For going into the Committee - lot
Bill, as they had been brought forward in thr. de-
bate. The course he would take the liberty of sug--
gesting to the House was this : as the business in the
Court of Exchequer was of a mixed nature, consist.
ing partly of equity and common law, to relieve it
by some arrangement from the former, and thereby
. afford the Judges time to assist in Chancery, with.
out creating any new Judge. By this means the
Chancellor would be relieved from bankruptcy busi-
ness, and the Exchequer from cases in equity.
Mr. SMYTH said, the House should not only
look to the existing evil, but also to its causes, and
whether they were permanent or temporary. The
great proportion of appeals was from Scotland ; the
remedy should therefore be applied in that country
at the proper source. Certain Acts had been passed
respecting Scotch Appeals, upon whose operation it
was yet too early to decide. The House should bear
it in their mind that this -Bill proposed no less than
the dissolution of the established Judicature in Chan-
cery, and by creating two organs, would have a dan-
' gerous tendency to unsettle the law, not to mention
the facilities it, must afford to future Chancellors,
from motives of party or ambition, to withdraw them-
selves from those duties in Court which' should be
pledged to their country to peiform.
Mr. Serjeant BEST said, that 'delay in this in-
stance amounted almost to a denial of justice, every
opportunity should therefore be taken to prevent
it. fle called the attention of the House to. the
Max of Irish. Appe.alar over which- the-Coarra -of
Appeals in this country had begore no jurisdiction.
The great question at present is, Does the evil ex-
ist, and, if so, does this BM furnish au adequate re-
medy ?
Mr. TAYLOR' rose to shield the COmmons of
Great Britain from the charge Wrought against them,
in the course of the debate, of having been instru-
mental in producing this delay ofjustice,whereas, the
fact really was, that it had totklly escaped the Lords
themselves, until his notice in this House, about two
years ago. The Hoe. Gentleman opposite,(Mr.Ste-
phen), had foegotten in 'his quotation from sir Mat-
thew Hale, the praise bestowed by that illustrious
Judge on the Laws of his Country 'for their unex-
ampled dispatch. The appointment of a temporary
Speaker had been objected to as an innovation.—
Nothing was more common. Lord Mansfield: had
frequently been railed in cases of appeal.- Much
stress had been laid upon the, circumstance of .this
measure requiring no expence from the public; but
the question' was not what 'expence. it might pro-
duce to the conutry, but whether it would effectually
answer the purposes for which it was designed.—
The Hon. Member next referred to a book, written
on this subject by an Hon. Member opposite, from
which he read some passages, andpointedly observed
upon them.
Mr. CANNING, in an able, witty, and eloquent
speeech, opposed, the measure. •Ile did lint like the
insinuations thrown out, as if the Members of the
House of Commons were hardly masters of this sub-

BANKS OF THE VISTULA, JAN. 17.—The... Russian

which had passed ...that never were recalled. There
only remains between th 6 Vistula and Oder some
ban& of Cossacks, who pillage on every side, and
are the greater scourge to the inhabitants, as tin dis-
cipline can restrain them. The determination of the
Russian4iirtiY appears to be in 'consequence of the
losses the Cogsacks have suffered. They are little
less glair those of the allied army ; for although the
