At G. 04 them, surely nobody. who- fairly eonsld e r e a them, could steslly call them old womanish. They were manly in their stature an] their object. They were peculiarly the feelings and sentiments of a man-ethe feelings and sentiantatts of a true born Englishmen. His prescription was not a little but big nostrum. It could never be described in terma of coetempt.though in some pussillaninions minds it might ex cite apprehension. He was however happy to state, that a great change had been operated in public opinion on the ! subject of reform. lie could state from good information, that the. delusions which had so long prevailed were fast wearing away. There was now, he believed, scarcely an hu eiest man in any part of the corattry, of sound miutt, who was not sensible of the extent of public corruption, and sues lot pet ferny convinced of the necessity of applying a re• slimly. But with respect to reform, it was to be expected tiint men's judgments should be different. Three were vari ous shades of opinion. and no one had a right to hold nut Ihat the mode he proposed must have a preference —that his plan, and his plan only, &honkd be tolopte.l. Ile enlist with a ll li te reility say, that this was a sort of dictation to which n o pub lic man could submit. The resolutions which he had moved in the last session of Parliament had not been proposed b 3 him without due considerotion. By these resolutions he con ceived himself bound to stand or fall in the public opinion. (In them he was willing to place all pretensions to future cha racter. If he should err depamt from them, lie begged that he might not be allowed to say that he had grown wiser. If his countrymen thought he had endeavoured to promote the public gobd, they might Ise kind enough to wish to throw a veil over his weakness ; hunt lie certainly should never have time hardihood to look Engiishmen cu the face, and on abitudinting his pm inciples, to tell them that he was wiser to-day than he Lad been a few cents ago. finditia that the spirit ofreforin was spreading, every thing would " be dime by those who were its enemies to mislead the people. V.lfillll% measures, it was probable, would be proposed to the public es the means of referm. It was possible, however, that some measure, short of that which lie might think right, would be proposed in Parliament. If that shuithl be the case, he should think it nu impeachment of his consistency to mprort such a Inca., sure ; for something must lee sada tired to the °pillions or even the prejudices of others. Whatever might become of al. stract principles, the great object was to obtain the ;silvan- Cages of practical reform. He had always maintained that every person ought to bare a vote in the making of the laws whirl, dispose of his liberty and his property s and, fur the life uf him. his could mot see how elections founded on that principle shonld lead to anarchy. Suppose the country di veiled tutu sectinas fur vuquz,bnwever Liege the population, he could not understand how there should be more coati. amp in all voting, than there would be in any sin:* parish or district. Caged there be greater anal chy than on the pre- Cent system of election, which every seven years disclosed anti* la Trid scenes of bri!tery, perjury, and every vices The eCtIICS which occurred tiering one elections had made many good men. th iteit, in hit opinion, not wise unto, wish that the country had no I epresentation at all. It had been said that he objected tlatt the term iiiiiversal suffrage' was not sta ctentiy definite. His objection, 11411STVI . C, was not to the term ; it was, that tam: who used it. still, the eseeption of Mr. Bentham, really did not inch universal suffrage. What he wished was, that universal interests should he represented, and that, he thought, would be slithiCiently accomplished if the heads of r.1,11.1it.4 were to vote. lie hail hero charged with inconsisterey, because lie had declared slim he took his opistioas front Milton, Locke, and 514chiavel. It hail been ebsurved on this, " that Milton was a Republican. Locke a Ceashtutirotal Alunarchist, and that Machiavel bad become time Minister of a wily Prince, and it was inferred that he lair:let pass tt.rotteli all these stages." The primiples of these men, however, %sere essentially the same, though apparently differing ft ma the situati o ns in which they were placed.— They were ell ft lends of freedom ; but it had been insinuat. c ;I that lie would art the part of each, that after brims; a re loiblirait auth Aiiaon, lie had become a constitutional mil li tteltist with Lorke, and would terteioate by being the :Minister of some wily Prince. lie winitiereil what wily prince in Europe wonlil wish to make him his Minister. But the fact was, that England was not a archy ; for that meant the government of one individual, a government vested in a particular family for its interests. Our uncestors acknow ledged no such stem. The government of the constitution of England had Hsi hereditary King, but that power was be. lanced by a representation of the people. There might be in gover iiiii ions many things which, besides being ou areituottal, lead their utility: but the eesetire stud test of is tree eonstitu tiou was a representation of the people. He was therefore :always willing to su p port the Crown and the Aristoeraey, provided they were mot °prised to the right of the people. to choose their representatives.

LAIV INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF CHANCERY, MONDAY, Auo. IT. WHICIAR Y. MALING. The plaintiff, in 1810, obtained a patent under the Great Seal for a new method of preparing malt to be applied to the impure of colons ing porter and other kinds of malt lignor. The nature of the invention was very simple ; It consisted wily of drying or heating malt to 400 degrees of Fahrenheit's therniotueter,lby which it would be converted into a substance like g , easily soluble in hot or cold weer ; the Matting was effected by an ordinary cylindrical coffee-roaster, or by passing the malt down a screw cyliuder exposed to a certain heat, so that the malt when delivered would exhibit a (lark brown appearance. the spceißeation stated, that this sub stance, when dissolved, would be much more effectual in colouring porter than burnt sugar, the use of which had been prohibited by an act pasted in the year in which the ['atria was granted. Soon afterwards, the defendant commenced the same process, and :told the dried or roasted malt to vat ions brewed, by which (Ito patentee sustained considerable injury. A proceeding by a ;ire facia , : was accordingly instituted in a Court of law, in order to try the validity of the invention, when it appeared on trial, that there had been some irregu larity in putting in the specification withiu six calen dar montliv after the (late of the patent, in rouse qaence of which the patentee was tionsitited. Au iniune tiun KM etc.( wards applied for against the present pluintilr, the patentee,and it was granted. A motion was subsequently made, that it might be dissolved, and after at guttietas on both sides, the question stood over for his Lordship's decision, which he this day pronounced. 'l* Ito Lord Chancellor first entered into a long detail of the facts from the petition and affidavits, of which we have given a Inlet seminary above. He observed, that a Iptv.tinis had been raised spun the validity of' say patent granted fur a new method of pertarming a known operation ; and next, whether this method stated in the specification were new, As to the first, the case of Bolton and Watt, derided long ago, id settled, that a patent might be granted for a new method; and as to the second, the termination, by noesoit, of the t r i a l 1/11 the trite jacias,ll4ti not fixed any thing as to the merits, fur they bad nut been entered into ;at thee (me time it was evident that the defendant, at the time tbe plaintiff bad proem-ed his patent and others, had done the same thing ; and in the pro cess itself it did not seen. that there was any thing of peculiar novelty it might, however, be an important discovery to brewers, whose customers were fiat of drinking beer of a dark colour. anti who were prohibited from mammy:At for that purpose. Under all the facts, his Lordship %Via of opinion, that the injunction should ba cuntinned, °Merin:. however, in ease the question should be bi ought for Will d in some other shape, that the defendant in the mean time should keep an accannt of the quantity of malt he dried in the mode ;toted iu the plaintiffs specification, and that it should be delivered to the plaintiff every fortuight under affidavit. BANGOR CATkIEDRAI.. There were two questions in this ease. They were,whether a certain etate, and what part of It, lia.t been left by a te, tains. for the t epair ()lilac choir of Bangor Cathedral, and teliat per sons belougini:g to the choir were entitled to the benefit of cer tain donations directed to he made out of it. Lordship ou a previous occasion intimated a %truer opinion upon the rubjeet, or at least that the prosecutor (error cantor, as the etstuology was stated) was a member of the choir, and was entitled to a part of the vitality. The Lind Chancellor this day gave his final judgment, that the estate was given partly for the Mitilli3lllilliCe and repair ut the choir el the CitilitAl at of Bangor, and partly for dis ot sums among the members of the choir. As to the qiicsiion whether the presentur was a member, it was true that the list person filling that other fur ?.0 sears, had never dom. any duly in the choir, but he might lied he chosen it. His Lordship, therefore, confirmed the report of the Master, which directed the proportions of the distributions, one of which wee ordered to be gi sea to the precautor, plus vitted lie did his duty as a member of the ciwit. TUESDAY. CX•P IRTE RICHARD HART DAVIS, IN AE DARIUS AND PRICE, lIANKRUPTC. 'fhis %CRP a petition in bankruptcy, which stated the follow ing facts : Harris and fries, previous to 1792, were Indebted to Davis end Son, haulers, of Bristol, in the stint of 5311.45. lid. A commission was issued against Barris and Price on the 9th of April, 1793, and three dividends were declared, amoonliug in the whole to be, in the pound, so that the ciaim of Davis and Son, under the proof of their sisbt, was 2101. 13a. 2il. After, however, the debt hail been proved, no demand of the dividend was ever made to Ike assignees until the end of 1815 or the beginning of BIG, when Mr. R. Ifert Davis, the present member for Bristol, put in his de ?ts ifs: . viving repreicutatireof the hanking• house of Dash; acid Sou. Mr. Collett, die WU - thing representative of Ilse assignees, objected on ace f the lapse of time, and on the ground that a certain bill of esellange, nrceloed by the house of Glover and Co. placed by Harris end Price in ilie hands of Davis acid Son as a collateral .rectrity, had not been prodiseed by 31r.
