fiE 'DIM; SCHOOL 7 RIENNI.4L VISI rATION. The triennial visitation of the Vice-Chancellor and Bishop of Oxford, and the Wardens of St. John's College, to the ancient eatablishmeut of Reading School, has this year given occasion to one of those classic repres,itations which have •many iimei delighted the admirers of Greek tragedy. On Monday. Tuesday, and Wednesday, in last week, the iirestesof Euripides was performed in crow& ed and brilliant audiences; and so great was the anxiety to procere admission, that on the concluding night." when the visitors attended, many applientious for tickets were necessarily re jected. It is scarcely possible to convey All idea of the purity, the beauty, and com,deteoess of this exhibition, which at least equalled all that has been seen in preceding year., to those who had not witnessed it. The e ttttt it:tattoo of the sweetest of lan guages was, in every instance. most correct and clear, so that the young performers seemed to be speaking in their native tongue, and grace every touch of pathos, every inflexion of sentiment, and every delicate shade of imagery, with its appropriate expression. Those who knew nothing of the lan. guage were yet able to feel all the ryilinnis of the lambic verse, and even, as by a universal instinct, to feel what t;iey did not exactly understand, while to the proficient its noblest beauty was made dis tinct and palpable. Mr. Palairet not only spoke the part of Messes with the greatest taste and cor rectness, but depicted all the changes of this Hr. daious character with vivid truth. Mr. La Motte was a noble Py/ades: manly, cordial, I deci. sire. Mr. Hams sustinued the part of Akeira throughout with singular propriety. Mr. Adams performed the difficult part of Tyndall,: with great judgment and feeling. The costume was 1111Cnni. 111011Iy correct and splendid, the scenery tasteful mu d appropriate, and the grouping in several chief scenes worthy a painter's eye. The three last acts of King John, altered from Shakspeare by Dr. Valpy, concluded the enter tainments of each evening. Here some junior per formers distinguished themselves, and some of thine who had acted in the Greek play gave woof of the versatility of their powers. The Prologue was spoken by Mr. La Matte, with energy and judg ment ; and the Epilogue, with great vivacity soul skill, by Mr. Richardson. We understand the illnstrious visitors expressed their high gratification at the rare treat thus prepared for thew. EPILOGUE, Spoken in the Character of one of the Choral Women, By T. N.

Permit a form escap'd the Stygisu flood To speak a word to" ears of flesh and blood " ' Sent from the myrtle grove of lingering maids, To bring the lateetjashions to the Shades, And, from assembled beauties, warn'd to bear One radiant picture of the British fair, I hither come, where loveliness is shedding Its *often light on old, true-hearted Hammel. When first, in Londou's circles, I began To lay my dagger down and use a fan, Ta a small party I admission pray'd, Sufi scene of learning, love, and lemonade, la hope, before the gentlemen came in, To ascertain bow British ladies spin: Judge the surprise a Grecian nymph must Gel To Jed no semblance of a single wheel! But on the tables, in confusion gay, Books of all colours and dimeusious lay ; here plates of Greek costume, which laird to strike My eyes as being emineolly like; There, in the depth of p7rusidie gloom, A sphinx frowis'd terribly from Egypt's tomb, And, 'needs piled Waverleys sod grim thiamine, Peep'il modest fart,' Lord Byron's last three emotive Annelid I said to our, they tented a lilac, Pray what's the latest fashionable hue ? Where may each feminine ei eat ion lurk? You spin, no doubt, Ma'am—may I see your work ? " Spin!" cried she—" 0! iu metaphor you shiue— I owe a little in the sonnet line— My satire, not ill oat tiredly bestow'd— A song or too—soil now and then an ode— Sometimes my lighter leisure I beguile By writing in the German critics style, Like them in modern mysticism bold, Praise or anatomise the great of old. Euripides, I dare be swore, you'd name As one whose genies fairly railed its fame; A sentimental sophist, whose whole trade is To frame long speeches and abuse the ',tidies. There's his Orestes, could a modern cram More monstrous creatures in a melu-drame ?

She screened—she softly begg'd me to direct her— " She'd not the least idea I was the spectre." When Curiosity had vanqaisled fear, A 'misdeed questions huzz'd around my ear. " Pray, Ala am, instruct me—you I'm sure are able— Is the whole losaoryof Troy a fable!" " I die to kiiumi-1 trust. Ma an:4 you'll forgive— Did such a man as Homer really live? O r are the things a witless world regards As his, the "roil of twenty thousand bards ?"

Yet think nut, Ceristiau Fair, sentr'd I view The long.lust blessing Heaven restores to Which gives you freedom, and to MOO secures Wit, wisdom, virtue, charity like yours!

The Lord Bishop of LONDON on Friday held a Confirmation at the General Peniteiitiary, Mill hank, wl►en, after a very ebmnent and forcible uddre•s from the Bishop, 200 prlsoorro, mile and feinule, were admitted to that solemn r►te. Lord RODNEY, the Colonel of tl►e North Dents regiment or unl►t.a, waited on the Duke of Wel. lington, at StrobeM.:ly, oil Monday last, to know on what day his Grace proposed to inspect the regi. inent, and his Comer is certainly to be at W►nches ter on some day early this week for the purpose.

The Court-yard of the Palace is at this moment crowded to exce.s with Military Officers and grand Dignitaries, corning to see his Majesty's levee, which will be followed by a drawnig•rnn:o. You may depend upon it as a fact, that his Nlajesty, in visiting this country, does nut contemplate a matri monial alliance, as was supposed in London 'then he left it. Nor do I believe, from all I can learn, that his Majesty's pre.ence here is at all connected with any measures of external policy. The prin► opal object he has in view, a t understand from gond authority, is to examine into the iiist:tutions and polity of his Hanoverian dominions, in order to correct any abuses that may exist its them, and effect such improvements as, to his disctiminating judgment, may seem advisable. These, lonely, are objects worthy of a Monarch, who is here de servedly considered as the lather of his people. FRIDAY. OCTOBER IL The drawing-room at Ilerrenhausen, yesterday evening, was attended by all the rank and fashion of the country, rod there were also present several dis tinguished personages from Foreign Courts. The two young Princes of Brunswick came at an early hour, and the Archduke Ferdinand of Austria was announced soon after. The display was almost ex clusively of a military character, for all over the Con tinent the army is made the slander.' of rank, and the criterion to which the different gradations of so. ciety are to be referred. Among the host of Field officers who made their appearance in rapid succes sion, t he Pi ostler) General Tauenzien was recognised ; and it is surmised, from his well-known ability in court intrigue, that his presence here at this time is connected with some political object. Every English man will be glad to find that, in a country where the power of our Sovereigis is not controlled by popu lar influence, there exists not the slightest degree of tyranny or oppression. The people in general seem Peppy and contented, and it is impossible not to he struck with the difference between their condi tion and that of their immediate neighbours. In Hanover I have lint vet *ern a ankle beggar, while in the adjacent Prussia,, territory every peaeatiit 1 met presented the apinarance of the oust wre:ched flies dicity. About 40 English miles from this town grand preparatioos are making fur a boar hunt in honour of his Majesty. It is said that Saturday week is the day when it will take place, and the spectacle is expected to be the most splendid of the kind that the 1 - 11.inoverians have ever witnessed. A machine, somewhat in the form of a pavilion, and drawn by wheels, has been constructed for the accommoda tion of his Majesty, in order that he may enjoy the plea s u r es of the chase without the fatigue of riding. His Majesty, since his arrival, has been frequently visited in the course of the day by the Dukes of Cambridge and Cumberland. The latter has with him a suite of thirty-five persons, arrayed in gor geous liveries, and lucluding not fewer than twelve pages. It is very probable, as 1 understand, that his Majesty will set oat oil his return to England in the early part of th e wee k a fter next. He remains fixed in his determination of not visiting any of the three great, continental capitate. Before his Ma jesty's departure there are to be some splendid re views, and oue or two grand fetes, besides the base born. This day his Majesty receives addresses Irons the Civil and Military Authorities, and to morrow he will dine with the Duke of Cambridge. On Monday his Majesty goes to the play, and the tickets are limited to a select number. There will be to-morrow a review on a small scale, preparatory to the growl one which is to take place iu the course of next week. Commodore ROBERT MENDS is • xpected to sail for she Coast of Africa in the Iphigenia frigate, in the course of this week. Captain JOSEPH Nouaste, C.

Captain W. T. Moscisu, Ti lo)lati JOHNsoti, are appointed to the Cot!flance, 16, at Deptford. Major BUTLER FLSTCIIII2, from Plymouth, em. barked at Portsmouth on Saturday morning with a detachment of the Royal Marines, on board his Ma jeaty's ship Liffey. The Andrunlaelee frigate, in Portsmouth harbour, is ordered to be prepared immediately for coin tuipsinn. The Grecian schooner was paid off on Friday. The Tees, 26, Captain THOMAS Cue, is order ed to the East India station, io relieve the Dowd ftst. She will sail iii about ten days. The Winchester, tin, will be shortly launched at Wootwich.—The Baracouto sloop is kitting there for foreign service.

The water-pipe anti cock (a consider able distance under water) of Ins MAJESTY'S ship Leven, fitting ut Woolwich, was by this cootri •ance shifted on Wednesday. The industry of the oyster dredgers, on the Sus sex coast, promises to be well rewarded. The catch is plenteous in the extreme.

Si beg through your raper to prrsent to the ....unfit deration of Attorneys, an Order of the Beuebers of the Inner Temple. _ _ " Bench Table, June 29, 1821. "Ordered, That no Gentleman be allowed to diue in Com mons while he is on the Ito:Is of any Court as an Attar oey or Solicitor, provided that this Oi•der shall nut apply to any Gentleman who is now on the Rolls of any Court as an Attorney nr Solicitor, and who shall actually have dined in Commons between the first day of Trinity Term, 1010, and the first day of this Term." On referring . to this Order f was surprised to finJ that when it war passed three silk gownsinen assented to From what I have heird, 1 thought two of them hail hero " pipes of different stop," and I give them credit fur more liberal feelings, and more powerful minds, than their assent to this Order manifests. To rinalify for the bar, it is requisite only that a man should enter as a student, and if he has • certificate of haw ing kept debt Terms at an University, and ate diluters tan days in each week fur twelve Terms (a course of discipline lasting only three year.), he may then be called to the bar. and, except as to the fact of having hail his dinners during that period, no inquiries are made. Any man who has not • certificate Goon an Uoiversity, mast be a member five years, and ate dinners fur three years of that time, before he can be called ; and this, in sober truth, Mr. Editor, is all that is required previous to a call—for, on the subject of a student's attainments, there is not any inquiry or care what ever. Officers in the army or on half-pay, and clerks he public offices,or indeei, almost any class of awn, except per sons varying 0,, trade, have been and may now he called, en keeping the requisite member of Terms, without any inter ,mission of their employ ments,except only Attorneys, to whom knowledge of law, fur reasons I cannot understand, becomes an obstacle instead of a recommendation. Before this Order was made, an attorney could practice his profession while be kept all the requisite Terms, and ■t any future time he could be called, on complying with the other formal regula tions of the society; but this new Order p to his keeping Terms till he is first struck off the rolls. This impractica ble restriction imposed upon • man, who has only his attain ments and his character to recommend him, without any other resources than those which the practice of a few years may have supplied him with, raises such a bar against his becoming a Barrister, that suet, an attempt would reduce him to insolvency and ruin; and yet the proposer of this Order (I very much regret to say su) has, by its operation, among many men, destroyed the most animating hopes, and the most laudable ambition, by which the profession has ever been dis tisguished. If Barristers so disported to crash aspiring talent in the persons of men educated as Attorneys bad ruled at the bench table formerly, England would never have known seve ral of her greatest lawyers, and among others, Hardwirke, Kenyon, Redesdale, Grant, Dunning, and &madly. This fact cannot be denied, for every one of these men, I of the late, and fire or six of the present Judges, were once em ployed at the desks of Cle►ks In Court, or Attorueys, and among such names are men whose example will animate others honourably to tread their steps, and who will live is d dly proud remembrance, when the chief supporter of this Order, disposed, as be is, to cramp iedustry and cripple genius, will be despised or forgotten. Can this unjust and oppressive Order be reconciled by common honesty to com mon sense? Or is it fit that this Order should (to the ;Nei's. dice of the public) prevent attempts at excelleuce io this age of the world, by blasting the hopes of Attorneys desirous of going to the bar, and by imposing on them additional restrictions, and creating petty •nd invidious distinctions between the members of the different depart ments of the profession? The Legislature has lately put the two departments of the profession on a somewhat similar footing, and directed that keeping Terms at the Ueiversity shall supersede two years' service at the desk, and that the usual attendance by pupils in the chambers of practising Bar. rioters and Special Pleaders, shall be considered as service to Attorneys. And thus, while the Parliament of Unit ised is endeavouring to create a better understanding than exists between there at present, the proposer of this Order furtooth (who, perhaps, owes to Attorneys almost every professional distinction he possesses that is nut attributable to his God), is by this Order acing his " brief and newly-acquired authority" to crush or to tarnish them as • body, anti to keep alive foolish feelings of pride that ought never to have existed. I sincerely hope that Attorneys will at least find unanimity, spirit, and inclination, to resist this pitiful and uncalled-for attack upon their privilegersaud take every necessary step to defeat it. In such a cause per severance is success. Now fur a golden prophesy, chiefly scraped from Shalespeare, to the father of this deformed child, who seems to have turned his wit the seamy side without, and I advi►e him to take • me f his ow n judgment, for I see euen's judgments are a parcel of their fortunes, and if his shall lead him to support and keep this hateful bantliug by playing on the hollow pipes that gave it breath, which, knowing their stops, he found to be as easy as lying, why then, his cloud of dignity is held from falling with so weak a wind that it will quickly drop, and the Lord Tinton will be left a naked gull, who flashes now a phcenix—for I can (ay., and perchance I may) sing and speak 'to him in many sorts of music. The trust I have is in my innocence—my robe, and my integrity to Heaven, is all I dare call my uteri —I would not, if I knew It, hurt the worm I tread on—yet I am not the man to crook the pregnant hinge* of the knee where thrift may follow fawning—and I hate ingratitude more in a man than lying, vainness, babbling, drunkeuness, or any taint of vice.
