Unoifott, SATURDAY JUNE 11. i THE KING'S LETTER TO THE IIARI, OF LIVERPOOL.—The Dublin Evening Afail if Friday says-" Wc- are enabled to state ipon authority which has never yet deceiv- ed us, that the most exalted personage in the Empire has been pleased to express his approbation of the speech of Lord Liver- pool, on the late discussion of the Catholic question, in a written communication to that illustrious statesman. AT JG TO BE DONE?——The question is incessantly asked, and may be answered by a speech as lengthy as one of the Magee rhapsodies. At present we will content ourselves with announcing the following- trifles:- There is to be a new Catholic As- sociation: there is to be a revived collec- tion of the rent: there are to be weekly, and sometimes daily meetings. More anon. -Dublin Morning Register. WE have received a file of Giberalter papers to the 20 ult. They state that the Colombian privateers continue to infest the Straits and neighbourhood, to the great an. noyance of the Spanish brig of war Primero de Cataluna, of 14 guns, bound from Ha- vanDah to Barcelona, was attacked on the outside of the Straits on the 14th May, by the Columbian brig of war Vencedor, and after a short action was sunk by a shot from that vessel. Of the persons on board, ammounting to eight in number, only three were drowned the remainder being picked Up by the boats of the Vencedor. TheResolutions of the Commons' Commit- tee on the subject of the conveyance of newspapers, Sec. to the Colonies, propose* that two-pence be charged for the conve- yance of Parliamentary proceedings and newspapers sent by post (with directions on.the slips of the papct* as in England) Great Britain and Ireland; and that three- pence be charged for papers sent from the Colonies: and, secondly that the Treasury be authorized to make compensation to such person in the Post-Oiffce, whose emoluments may be reduced in consequence of being deprived of the privilege of franking (ex- clusively) newspapers to the- ^oionie^. — It is much to be feared that here, as in the case of vicious Writs of Error, &c. the fees and emoluments of a few persons have stood in the *ay of merits The Chancellor of the Exchequer and IVIr. Harries, however, have prepared, and last night introduced it Bill to make these Resolutions law, regarding the con- veyance of newspapers to the Colonies, a regulation that wilt aid the Revenue, as well as advance the comforts ot British "rhtpresent Session, if it b* »ot very prolific in political measures, will at least be memorable for the improvements which it has introduced, or forwarded, in our ju- dicial proceedings. The Delays in the Court of Chancery, which have long fur- nished subjects ofcomplaint are now placed in a course of reasonable improvement. The attempt to throw the blame of these delays on the Lord Chancellor is perfectly absurd. They are incumbrances of a system of prac- tice, which has grown up long before his Lordship's time, and which, in its main outlines, is founded on the immutable prin- ciples of justice. This was clearly shown in answer to Sir F. Burdett last night, by the speech of Mr. W. Courtenay. That Learned Member quoted, from Mr. Miller (an author sufficiently disposed to freedom of attack) the following remarkable testi- mony in behalf of the essential utility of the Chancery system- It will not be easy to propose any plan »f ™°n ""l full or appropriate, than that of the Court of Chancery now is. If wero, <^encum- Wd of that load of abuses and anomalies which time and carelessness have accumu- lated, it is well fitted, by means of plead- ings, hearings before a Judge, references by a Judge to one of the llIasters for his opinion on subordinate matters, and hear- ings on further directions when it returns o the Judge again, to settle the tedious and involved legal controversies, to which a re- fined state of society necessarily gives bir i. Mr. Courtenary also adverted to a work recently published in America, Hoffman's Office and Duties of Masters in Chancery *_lSome of our readers may, perhaps, be surprised, that in the Republic of the United States the establishment of Masters in Chan- dlery, which some persons here represent as an absurd excrescence in the legal system, should be found to exist. But they not only exist--they are furnished with the same au- thorities, perform the same functions, and are, in fact, precisely the officers in America as in England. This may, teach us, that there is more of practical utility in our system than we are apt to suspect; other- wise so acute a nation as the North Ame- ricans would not take it as their model.

In the House of Lords on Monday- The House went into a Committee upon the Corn Warehousing ill. Lord King expressed his unqualified approba- tion of the measure, and took the opportunity to pronounce a pane • yrie upon, that which he was pleased to denominate the liberal part of the ad. ministration, and a severe invective against the agricultural interest'. The Earl of Lauderdale objected to bringing in corn bonded under the regulations of 1822. The Earl of Maliiiesbury objected to the ad- mission of Canadian corn, as likely to throw open the Ports to the Corn of the United States, which would speedily overwhelm the British farmer.— He concluded by proposing as an amendment to omit the permission to import Canada corn. Lord King again attacked the agricultural in- terest, and compared their complaints of danger with the cry of No Popery," which was, he said, a watch word" above all price." Lord Lilford defended the agricultural interest and argued in support of the amendment upon nearly the same grounds taken by the Earl of Malmesbury. The Earl of Liverpool supported the original motion, and replied with considerable warmth to the arguments of the Noble Lords who contended for the exclusion of Canada Corn. He stated, in proof of the importance of Canada to the Empire, that one-fourth of all the ships employed in trade were engaged in the Canada trade and denied that Canada Corn paying 5s. a quarter duty, and 7s. quarter freight, could ever come in any im- portant quantity into the British market. Still less. he said, could United States Corn, paying a considerable carriage, over and above this freight and duty, ever interfere with the British farmer. The Earl of Lauderdale opposed the bill on the ground that the house was not in possession of sufficient information. Lord Dacre also the bill. lie declared that he had been informed that there was such a glut of Corn in the American States as would inundate this country in a few years after the ports should be opened. The Earl of Liverpool consented to limit the bill to the next year, and to the end of the then next Session of Parliament, from the three years which had been proposed. Upon this the Earl of jlIurueb,l y WIL" ¡'.n.lrnpnt and the Bill was reported. The Jury Laws Amendment Bill was read a second time, upon the motion of the Lord Chan- cellor. In the House of Commons— The St Olave (Hart-street) Tithes' Composi- tion Bill was read a second time by a majority of 56 to 36. Dr. Phillimore. Mr. Sergeant Onslow, Mr. Peel, Sir John Nicholl, &c. strongly con- demned the principle of a measure by which the rights of the church were shaken, and the interest of his successors sacrificed for the advantage of the present incumbent. The Bill was supported by Messrs. Calcraft, Denman, Baring, W. Smith, and Alderman Wood. Mr. Hume presented a petition from the village of Crail in Scotland, praying of the house to in- terpose for the prevention of the abominable suicide of Hindoo windows, practised in the East Indies. The honourable member stated that the number of these sacrificesi n the province of Bengal alone had amounted to 3,400 in the last five years and that of all these not one in five hundred was voluntary, all, or nearly all, of them being produced by the compulsory arts of the Bramins. Mr. F. Buxton said that 13,000, was much nearer the truth, as to the real number of women murdered in this way in the province of Bengal within the five years. The honourable member, in reply to the arguments employed to defend the countenance given to this abomination, on the ground that it was entitled to the tenderness due to religious prejudices quoted several native wri- ters upon the Hindoo religion, to show that the murderous practice was as repugnant to the Reli- gion of the Hindoos as it was to the law of nature, or the law of the Gospel. Mr. Trant, Mr. Wynn, and Sir Edward East deprecated the interference of the House on a question of so much delicacy and danger. On the otherhand, SirC. Forbes and Mr. Money contended that the practice of suttees might be put an end to by a very slight and perfectly safe interposition on the part of the Government; and in coroboration of their opinion, they cited the abolition of infanticide, which had been effected throughout India, without producing the slightest discontent, and the discontinuance of the very practice complained of, in some of the southern provinces, which had been accomplished with equal tranquility. The petition was ordered to lie on the table. The Mauritius Trade Bill was committed and reported, after a debate of considerable length. The Colonial Trade Bill (a measure of the most extensive operation, which abolishes in fact, the whole body of restrictions upon the colonial trade) was read a third time, and passed. Upon the motion for committing the Prince of Cumberland's annuity bill, Mr. Brougham moved, AS an amendment that i' shoi:i be committed in sis monk's. Mr. Coke seconded the amendment in a tliort and angry speech. Mr. Davenport, Mr. if. Sumner, Mr. J. Per net, and Sir John Sebright also opposed the grant. Sir G. Warrender and Mr. T. Wilson supported the original motion; on a division, the amend ment was rejected by a majority of lJ3 to I i i. In the Committee, Mr. Brougham proposed an other amendment, reducing the grant to 3,0001. per annum, nn/l lirni'inir It to tie life of the jmnce. Sir C. Forbes spoke with warmth against the amendment, and strongly reprobated the foul and calumnious insinuations which had been employed to blacken the character of the Duke of Cumber land. The ChancelIorofthe Exchequer spoke at some length in justification of the grant. Mr. Holme Sumner approved of the amendment Mr. Brougham repeated, for the fifth or sixth time, his attack upon the Duke of Cumberland. Mr. Canning-ascribed the opposition sonersever- ingly offered to the grant, to something more ran- I tiii;ig 1,-tore ran-* corous than distrust or djslike- to a persecuting detestation. The amendment was rejected by a majority of 152 to 114. Mr. Brougham then fell upon the decision of the Committee with great bitterness, and spokeof the motives of the majority in a strain which provoked a spirited and successful reprimand from 3J¡.. T- M ilson, whom the honourable fol- Win- chelsea admitted to he ttie lilost iionest,, and mostpalriotic member voting on his (Mr. Wilson's) side of the house. Mr. Secretary Peel introduced a Bill to pre- vent the suing out of frivolous Writs of Error, for the mere purpose of delay. ■ To show the abuses which existed under that form, he stated that in 1817, ISIS, and 181 i), not less than 1,197 Writs of Error had been issued, which had had the effect of delaying-execution of judgment for a twelvemonth. And yet out of all that"mass only nine had been obtained under a real intention of subsequently acting upon them, and in only one case had tho judgment been actually reversed. By the present Bill, the fees payable to the Judges upon the issuing of these forms are to be abolish- ed and tha Act of King James, which contained a salutary regulation compelling parties issuing this writ to give security for double the amount of the sum for which the judgment rnn/W»,i him » liable, is to be revived. It i? also provided that chnnUH,. under the forrr-al sauc- tion of the Court, and these alterations are to apply to all the Courts. This Bill was immediately read a first time. Mr. Sykes then moved a Resolution, pledging the house at an early period of the next Session to reduce the duty on Soap, and another, to re- duce that on Candles. The Chancellor of the Exchequer objected to the motion on several grounds, but chiefly because ,i-oiiii(is. because as it required from the house a vague and indefi- nite pledge about something to be done in the Ses- sion, the great manufacturers would be left in un- certainty, and much loss might ensue. The Resolutions were ultimately put to the vote and rejected without a division. Mr. Hume moved for a return of all the persons, Europeans or Indians, who had been or were con- fined by the Government of India, against whom no charge had been proved, and no trial and ver- dict had; also their names, rank, the places and periods of their confinement; the names and dates of such as had been liberated. Mr. Wynn did not object to the motion, which was agreed to. I Sir F. Burdett then made his promised motion for the production of the evidence taken before the Commission of Inq uiry into tbe delays of the Court of Chancery. Mr. Secretary Peel stated that a full report would be made by the Commission for Inquiring into the abuses of the Court of Cliancerv, with the evidence annexed, before next Session. He thought, therefore, it would be better for the ho- nourable baronet to wait till this took place, es- pecially as no legislative provision could grounded upon the mere evidence this Session, and as such a course would be a sort of supersession of that Commission. After a discussion of considerable length, but which offered no novelty in point of fact or argu- ment, the motion was rejected by a majority of IS —the numbers being— For the motion 73 Against it
! C-i RAN, kT) MASQUERADE…
By a Bill now in progress through the House of Commons, to regulate the Spiiit Trade, it i" enacted, that no wholesale dealer in the trade shall keep for sale, British compounded spirits of a less strength than 10 per cent, under proof; and no rectifier shall send out, nor a retailer (other- wise publican) shall keep British compounded spirits of a greater strength than 22 per cent, un- derproof. Consequently none of th? present es- tablished wholesale dealers in this trade will be enabled to sell the British compounded spirits at all the retailers or publicans, therefore, will be compelled to obtain their slock direct from the rectifiers.
