Mri M. A. TAILOR said he could not withdraw Ids Seldom The ATTORNEY GENERAL observed, tha' the plans proposed weal to model the whole or the Court of Chancery. As to the business, there was not that delay which was iin • puled ; there were no bank • opts' petitions, and no cause set down last term uthlisposed of. Toe business had been got through with great rapidity and 601isfactiou. Mr. LOCKH ART was astonished that any one could say, that to cull ou the house to consider the question next sessiou would be to cast an imputation on the court. The enquiries in the courts of equity were surrounded with difficulties; they %sere attended with enormous eepences rill Englund knew these facts to be true. The iustatutious requited revision; und to say so was not to caw any reflection nu the calm, or ifif.e practising in it; but certululy the motion did not merit the stigma of the " previous question," —if met at all, it ought to be by manly negative. Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW could not agree to the motion, on the single grimed that there had been delay in the Court of Chancery. He agreed in the necessity of the amended motion for the previous question. Mr. W. SMITH supported the motion, and thought from the declararion of the noble lord, that the wonder was that there was nut more appeals, was in favour of inquiry and change. (Hear, hear.) It was admitted that the Chancellor's industry only prevented inure delay and greater difficulties. After some further observation the house divided on the motion. 'Elie usimben for it were :12—against it 56. Lost by a majority of 4. Mr. MABEBLY•then brought forward Iris motion re specting Irish Exchequer amid Treasury Bills; the hon. member urging that the bills of both countries ought to be placed oil a similar footing—that no undue advantage ought to be given to either; and submitted a motion, the effact of whirls was to secure such !mpartiality. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained the system of these bills, and contended that there ex isted no intimtional advantage on either side. The house eventually divided ou the motion. The 1101111ber5 VI ere—ayes 31, N 61. Toe GR A:WWII-AND Bit. .—Lord MILTON 1610.vetl, that house should agree to the Loro's aineedateots on this bill. Sir. WYNN wished to add an amendment to those of then lordships. namely, to divide the county of York, and to provide that each division should send two members, luatcad of the w hole county sending four, as proposed by the bill. Mr. S. WOWILEY objected to the bill altogether as amended by their lotrlships. He declared his determina tion to take the sense of the house on the amendment. Lord LON DON DERRY was in favour of the amend ments to a certain degree, and would rather agree with them than risk the loss of the trill. He could not agree with his bum friends' Yorkshire feelings, that the other branch of the legislature had no right to interfere with the form of representation adopted by the House of Coin- mons. Lord J. RUISEL agreed with the noble lord in opinion, that it would be desirable to pass the bill, to skew the people V. tie determined to do something in compliance with the wishes of people; and therefore, although the amendments were destructive both of the noble lord's opinion and his own, still he would support them rather than risk the bill. The amendments were ultimately adopted. The bill was then ordered to be carried back to the lords.

Associscrost.—The Marquis of LON1)O/SDEKKY having moved, that the report of the committee of supply be now briniest up, Mr. BROUGHAM ruse to call the attention of the house once more to a society, the existence and nature of which lie had occasion upon a former evening to briug under its notice. He held in his hind a letter which had been distributed among lie members, and which purported to be a copy of another letter, a circular. It came from "The Bridge-street Committee." And what was their object ? Feist. to expound to the magistrates the law of the land in cases akin'. They enclosed in this cis cular a copy of a pamphlet, composed trader their auspices, and containing their expositions, their digest of Bite law, fur the guidance of the magistrates. (Ilear.) But the object which they bad in this circular veut tired to avow was sot to be passed over. (Mr. Brougham then read from a paper)—" Sir,—ln pursuance of the 4th resolution of the address"—but the house ought to know that this was signed by a Mr. J. B. Sharp , Who styled himself " lionutery Assistant Secretary," was dated No. e t , Bridge-street, Blackfriars ' and addressed to the magis trates—(hear, hear)--to the magistrates ~f England!— " I am ditected Sty the committee to transmit you a copy id the addrese of this society.

And now he (Mr. Bi onetime) sliutild like to be interested, if there were then the house any member a protector of this cuinditutional useuciation. (Hear.)

The Attorney General had the power of suppressing the proceedings of this society by entering a siolk proavui upon all their in dictments. _ . Mr. SCA lILETT, after the speech of his hon. and learned friend, felt enabled to add but little to his exposition of the mischievous which might resell from this association, with however good motives individuals might hove enrolled them selves in it.

Mr. WARIII cz?cvssed his surprise that this association, having been p ro nounced illegal by what he considered the highest law authority in that house, no member of his Majesty's go vernment bad offered a word of exploitation on the subject. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY observes!, that net very far buck in the history of the country, when associations had been formed, and great [mints subscribed to those essuciations, tor the prosecution of individuals, net indeed her the cold crime of libel, but oil a charge for murder (cheers from the ministerial benches), and be considered that the influence of them associa tions and of those great names were as much calculated to preju dice the minds of the jurors against the ;lodes who might have been tried, as much as in the case tow hith the hon. and learnial gent. (Mr. Brougham) referred. Sir J. SEBILIGHT expressed his entire concurrence in the opinions which had been given by the hon.- and learned gent. respecting die self called constitutional association - , which has taken upon itself the task of teaching magistrates their duty.— Ile for one would dispense with the instruction of such a body, which he considered as one of the most illegal and unconstitu tional which had come to the knowledge of that house. The SOLICITOIt GENERAL said, that in the absence antis learnml friend the Attorney General, he ceukl not avoid making a few observations to the house, and he could not avoid also expressing his surprise that the association should have been called illegal. lie difihred wholly from ib i s opinion, and would take it upon himself to say that in that society there was nothing illegal, or at all contrary to the spirit of the constitution. Were they to believe that the association of persons tor the prosecution of übLnces against the law was - o 1 itself a violation of that law ? De maintained that such an association was nut illegal. Of the Policy of it he begged to be understood as not giving an opinion. Lord MILTON said, that it had been stated that there were some cases of libel which it might nut be proper for the Attorney General to prosecute and he ; rord Milton) admitted the fact e but this was one of his objections to the association," that they would out make such distinctions. The motion for bringing up the report of the committee cf supply was diem put and agreed to. Mr. BROGDLN brought up the report s- and on the question that the first resolution be agreed to, Mr. it ()ME objected to going at that late hour into the report of supply. lie therefore moved as an amendinuit that the report be received to morrow. The Marquis of LONDONDIIRRY said if the object of It hon. member was to adjourn the consideration of the report till to morrow, he should have no objection. The report was ordered to be considered to morrow. The committee on the metropolis police bill was postponed till Tuesday next. Mr. JAMES moved that the house be counted. hl r. J.
