COURT OF CHANCERY, MARCH 13.
COURT OF CHANCERY, MARCH 13. ON an application by Mr. Knight for Iho ap- pointment of a day on which he may make a lho- tion affecting a case directed to be tried at the York Assizes- The Lord Chancellor desired the learned gen- tleman to send in his petition, and promised to read it as soon as he could.—His Lordship ob- served, in relation to the York Asdze, that in the caae of Barker & Wray, which was pressed to be heard, at York, he had requested papers to be sen.yp> him for perusal.—They were accordingly Sant as; and when he came to examine them, he found such a voluminous mass of writing that he could not even lift them. Now he did not want every paper connected with a case he did not require bills and cross bills he could collec t their substance from the decree; the depositions, as set out in the brief sheets, would be sufficient.— He attempted to devote last night to the perusal of these papers; lie read what are called the do- cuments in the case but as to the perusal of the entire, it was an impossible thing he. could not effect it. The papers (continued his Lordship) are in my private room if you have any curiosity to see them, Mr.Heald,youca.nstepinnnds.muse yourself with them, Mr. Heald-Thank you, my Lord, but my i curiosity to see unnecessary papers has long' subsided. Lord Chancellor—So has mine too, I assure you, Mr. Heald. Mr. Knight asked whether, in the case of Smith his Lordship would permit application to be made to him in the House of Lords on Monday 1 Lord Chancellor—No, Mr. Knight; I shall give directions to my people to communicate with yon about it. When an application is made to me in this Court on Saturday morning at ten o'clock, I can no more say I shall have two hours to devote to any particular business between that and the foliovifmg Monday, than I can fly into the air. It L; very unreasonable in Solicitors to expect they can have any portion of my time they please. The Solicitor-General intimated to his Lord- ship his intention of sending ia to him the deposi- tians marked in the case of Barker and Wray. LordChanceHor-Do, Mr. Wetherell; if pa- pars be sent to me in a proper form, I will make every exertion to peruse them; but as to masses which have been sent in to me so heavy that, I am unable to lift them, lean make no promise; if you wish to form an opinion of the toil, only walk into my chamber, Mr. Wetherell, and take a look at the pile sent to me in one single case. The Solidtor-Geaeial,—-Pardon me, my Lord, 1 must decline the pleasure the very sight of such a mass is a head-ache in itself. Lord Chancellor—I remember a gentleman at the Bar in my time, who having been asked whether he could draw an indictment, said he could sooner draw a broad-wheeled waggon; so of the pap^rs sent lately in to >ne I could as soon draw a broad wheeled waggon, ifit were sentfato me, as even lift them fron the ground. Here the dialogue terminated.
1MISCELLANEOUS.
MISCELLANEOUS. AURICULAR CONFESSION.-IVIrs. Charles Sto- thard in her tour through Normandy and Britanny, relates the following ,tiecdote It was Louis the Fourteenth, I believe, who once asked a pnest, if a penitent confided tohimtheatowledge of a plot that was forming to take away the life ot his Iiiiif- he would inform him of the danger ? To this question the Confessor replied,' No Sire; I would throw myself before your Majesty to ward off the blow; but were you certain to fall by the hand of the assassin, I would not betray the confession. In one of the late Mr. Wesley's early publica- tions, he in the strongest manner disavows all pecuniary motives, and calls on posterity to vin- dicate his disinterestedness in one of the boldest apostrophes I ever read. "Money must needs pass through my hand," says he, "but it shall be found in my tents when it shall please the Supreme Being to call me hence. And hear this, all ye who have discovered the treasures which I am to leave behind me, if I leave behind me ten pounds, (above my debts and the little arrears of my fellowship) do you and ail mankind bear wit- ness against me that I lived and died a thitfand a robber."—Adams's Collection. .Description of a Soil.-—Mr. Cobbett gives the following pictiu-esqtie description of the soil best calculated for growing the wheat to be used for straw-plat I am of opinion that a clean, poor, clayey field; a nasty, stiff miserably, wicked soil, that cling. andbakes as hard as a stone with five or six days'sun, and that is as cold as Green- land six inches beneath the surface a field that has broken the hearts of hundreds of horses and of scores of farmers I think if you could get such a field as this quite clean, and were to sow it with ten bushels in the acre, early in April, you might, probably, get a crop of wheat as fine as hogs' bristles and, let this be observed, that there is no land that produces straw so solid and so round as this miserable clay." LIVERPOOL-SATURDA y ,-A momentous subject of alarm has lately gone forth in this neighbour- hood, in consequence of the intercourse between this port and Egypt. Several thousand bags of cotton have already arrived, and many thou- sand more are expected to follow. These goods are packed and shipped at places where the plague is frequently raging, and, according to the re- ceived notions on this subject, there can be no vehicle more adapted than cotton to the convey- ance- of this contagion. The great plague of 1063, it is affirmed, was brought to this country by a suit of clothes, imported from the Levant, and exposed in London. That visitation cost the lives of nearly 100,000 persons. It must be recollected, that this country is the most thickly peopled district (leaving cut capital cities) in Europe, and its great towns contain an unusually dense population, not remarkable for habits of cleanliness, caution, or sobriety. The thought of such a disease introduced into such a community is too frightful to be contemplated. The cotton is unshipped here, but it is unpacked in almost every great town in the country so that, like the burn- ing of Moscow, the conflagration might burst forth simultaneously at avariety of different points. The Gentlemen of the Faculty here have had a meeting on the subject, and have determined to maintain a vigilant watch on all further arrivals from infected places to enforce the severest re- gulations of the Quarantine Laws, and to adopt every other measure likely to guard us against a calamity from which this country has been spared I for more than a century and a half. ,U .J. ji
flonnmt,
f lonnmt, I SATURDAY, 20. WE are glad that his Majesty's Minis- ters have taken in hand the subject of black slavery. The present measure will have more weight than if it had emanated from Mr, Wiiberforce. Certainly, as Mr. Baring justly observed, it is not easy to guess at the precise object of Mr. Canning, However, considering that the subject is a very delicate one, in- volving not only the giving freedom to the people who were considered and paid for as properties, but, after the sudden freeing of those people, should they de- n cline to cultivate the estates of the I planters, what would become of the value of the estates ? Not only that, but if we emancipated a large body of servants, and they became suddenly independent of the minor body of masters, against whom they might have a grudge, a large military force should be sent to protect the white population against the possible hatred and revenge of the emancipated black popu- lation. We therefore think that his Ma- jesty's Ministers are wise in steering the middle course. The abolition of slavery can only he gradual to be safe, except the population of white masters were consi- derably greater than that of the blacks, the contrary of which, however, is the fact. All at once to let a large body of servants loose on their masters, strikes us as being extremely hazardous. No one can doubt but that Mr. Wilberforce has been actuated by the bestintentionsj when he turned his attention to this subject; yet we always thought that his speeches were too enthusiastic-too much what might be called oratorical disquisitions, put forth to produce effect. The fashion for this display of oratory is dying away people begin to see through its delusion. Mr. Wiiberforce attempted something of the kind on Tuesday night, but it might be seen that it would not do. Such ora. tory may be very well at Pitt, Fox and Reform dinners, where the wine and the music, and men three-fourths tipsy, are causes for fun and merriment. There was one thing gave us pleasure in Mr. Can- ning's propositions, and that was, that the slaves are to be permitted to purchase their freedom; and also that there is to be a savings' bank, to allow the blacks 5 per cent. for their deposits. This will put into the custody of the blacks a sum therewith to purchase their freedom.— In all things it is the best way to proceed gradually. Alrs Canning very happily said that there were silk theories as well as black theories. To keep clear of all theories is the most judicious. An Hon. Member stated a circumstance with re- gard to one of the islands, where manu- mission had been carried into effect He stated that before the manumission 300,000 hogsheads of sugar had been ex- ported, but that only 300 had been ex- ported since the manumission. Now, whether this defalcation had arisen from its not being worth people's while to cul- tivate sugar on account of the low price it has borne of late years, or whether it arose from the repugnance of the negroes to cultivate sugar does not appear. But with regard to a manufacturing system any where, it is well known that too low a price for the article manufactured will stop the production; and on the con- trary, that a high price will cause an in- creased productiou. Now, supposing that the prhe of sugar to the consumer had been double to what it has been, would tlx r-J have been the same defalca- tion in the island in question? It the Hon Mcmb r replies that there would uot, then the observation of Hon. Mem- ber comes to nothing. There cannot be much doubt bilt if the Ministers proceed in the ciutious manner they are now doing, it Mill end in the biaeks being as free as th wailes; but even if the ques- tion wese, shall we have sugar and black slaveiy, or no sugar aud black emancipa- tion, we should say, give us no sugar and black freedom. But such a state of things, as that there should be no sugar, could I not last long, fo:, even admitting that the blacks were the sole proprietors auci cul- tivators of the West lii,i'ia would grow sugar it we should pay iisem a price that would leave them a 'profit, if interest or necessity did not goad them oil as well as it goads on our miners, or men and women in hot cotton factories, or cold clamp 'cellar^, they must be a dtilerent so:'t of people to us, so lar as self-interest is coines i e.S. Of course, when black emancipation takes efiect, it will probably oblige us to keep up a larger military and naval force in that quarter; j! for we shculd thhk that the whites and l he blacks cannot like each other in their hearts; and if the free blacks be in the proportion of ten to every free waite. it stands to res son tli-ic the of keeping those Colonies most be consi- derably augmented, and then Mr. Hume would find fault with the Ministers for proposing an increased force. That the blacks generally have been ill-used, is improbable, it 5s not the interest of Clusters to use their cattle ill, much more their servants Jtien in general use their animals with kimai-ss. ar.d in in- stances with alfection. \Vf3 have knijwn men love their i:«.rses or their hounds more than their children. Why should a man treat his tiegro, who cultivates his ground, and produces him an by which he may amass riches, worse thn'n the horse who carries him ? The thing is so out of nature—?o opposite to ail rea- son, that we do not believe one stcry in a hundred that we have read or heard.— Men of vivid iesaginations send forth highly-coloured 'statements, grounded on a few facts, to ingratiate themselves with societies of various descriptions, in order that they might, get appointed, li,n(I be paid for being the conservators of hlarks. If we were a young beginner, and had re- ceived a good education, and were, in consequence, too proud to 'become a but cher or a baker, we should be apt to pro- duce some of the high-flown things we have read, if we could be certain that the end would be a snug appointment of two or three hundred a year.

It seems that in the United States a Bill has been brought into Congress to alter the tariff—that n, so increase the duties on English goods- Those duties were already tolerably high but it aopearg that oar Transatlantic brethren are not satisfied, and that they intend to make their duties higher still. A ii-ioriai has been presented from the Board of Trade of New York, signed by i\1r, Bay- ard, its President. We believe that gen- tleman is connected in mercantile busi- ness with Messrs. Baring-, of London — The Memorial being rather we may merely give the following extract.— It is worthy the perusal of those la the country who advocate the principle of high duties, or prohibitions, in order to protect the manufacturing interests. It is singular that at the time England is beginning to open its eyes to the folly aud uselesness of an illiberal commercial po- licy,Mr. Canning's friend Jonathan should be commencing it. This does not say much for the free Government of the United States; or for the enlightened members composing that Government.— Should these new duties take effect, our Government will probably by a higher tax on the United States cotton, than on cottons from other part s of ,he world Does Jonathan, however, think that his coasts can be better protected from the trade of smuggling than our coasts can ? How would Jonathan, after a certain time, like to pay two or three millions of dol- lars annually, for tLe expen-e of coast blockades? He probably docs not thtnk of this. It is rather singular that Re- presentative Governments iu general are most unsocial in their ideas r. ;j acts re- garding other nations than Despotic Go- vernments. Mr. Canning foond the Cortes of Spain more difficult to treat with, so far as any commercial business might be on the tapis, than the Spanish absolute King. for this is—that in one case th re ,tre likely not more than half a d c. zii, c, i who with to make legislative provisions—in the other there are probably one thousand. -Q"
