B4RRISTERS Alf,o A74TORNEkS. TO THE EDOTOR OF THE narnsn' PRESS. " 0 cannot tell What Heaves bath given hint. let some graver eye Pierce into that; but I ran are hiv pride Peep through each part of hits." Slap 1 am desirous, throve, the medium of your itiemitottrieti circulated Journal, to call the atiewtion of Attorneys at Law loan order lately made by the Beecher. or the loser Temple spirist their interests, and highly derogatory to their che wier. The substance of the order it, that no Gent leseau, 'whose name appears en the rolls of nay Court as a. Attorney, shall be permitted tea dine is the bower Temple Hall during T er m; hut the order excepts Members who have already died in the Hall he:twee. Trinity Term, 1819, and Trinity Term, 1821. For this order, 1 am tool, the Profession is principally led• hied to Mr. --, and If this be so, it is an attack ups. Attorneys which ought never to be forgotten. You may remember that an order was some year. ago made at Lincoln's lee, to exclude Writers fir the Public Press from the Bar. Mr Sheridan brought the matter before Parlia ment, and the Lintels's . lon Benehere were so heartily sishanied .f it, that, as sons as they could, they rescinded it; mid Loral Erskine so greatly disapproved the measure, that • dise.rol64lafter this delete was closed, his Lordship pre vailed.. Sir John Aestruther and Mr. Sheridan to represent to the House that he bad not gives his consent to it; and if he had dune so, he would have withdrawn it. The profession of as Attorney, I believe, has increased ii r respectability of late years, and they are personally taxed beyond every other profession. Mr. Serjeant Outdoor, is this Session, obtained an Act of Parliament to introduce an men from the Universities by a three years', instead eta five years* Clerkship; sad so great was the li berality of its present members, that not one of them opposed the Bill; hot perhaps they little expected that so soon after Mr. Srrjesnt Onslow thus opened the profession of an Attorney to a sudden influx of members, the Bendier. of the loner Temple would shut their Hall against their et:mission, and degrade them as an unworthy cast by deny ing them their ancient privilege., and by an ex post facto law excluding them altogether from the Hall. The first order against Attorneys was, to exclude from Call every Attor ney who had not ceased to practice two years; then we load as, order of exclusion, if trot struck uhf the roll two years; now the order is to rxelorte Attorneys altogether from keep. log commons, and, h:. and by, we shall hear of Mr. -, so some equally liberal-minded men, with sons called to the Ear, proposing orders to exclude men who have been Attor neys* Clerks altogether from the call. Oa behalf of the Pro fession, I challenge any man to name gentlemen caltml to the Bar from Attorneys desks who hare disgrarel their profes sion, or conducted themselves dishonestly or dishonourably. if this esanot be done, surely there can be no just cause fur this hasty and ent.ir exclusion. But 1 will uodraw the curtain, Mr. Editor, and .hew you the other side of the pic ture, and yon will find, Sir, the most profound Lawyers, and the best men that the Profession ever knew, were boon& np Attorneys; some of them are now no mere, but their memory and attainosesits must live revered by all their see cessors, as long as the Profession of the Law shall be esteemed in this country. Chief Justice Saunders (whose Reports, lately edited by Mr. Serjeent Williams, are of the highest character) was a beggar-boy,tifierwards an Attorney's Clerk, and then a Lord Chief Justice; the Lord Chancellor Hard wick?, of whom Lord M•nalield used 10 say, " that when he prateorneed hit .letreeto Wisdoms herself might be raid to speak;' the Lord Chief Justices Strange, Willer, and Ken yon; Mr. Daintier, afterwards Lord Ashburton; and the lap Lord Chief Baron Thompson, served their clerkships to Attorneys in times past ; and the late Lord Chief Justice Gibbs; the late Master of the'Rulls, Sir William Grant ; the meted.' Mr. Jnstiec BurruSgla, anal Mr. Justice Richardson, two if soot three of the present Barons of the Exchequer, one of the Judges of the King's Bench, Lord Redezdale,Sir Samuel Roundly, and one of the late and the present Atter wey General, in minter., times, were edueated originally at the desk of Attorneys, or Clerks iu Court ; and in every owe of ant' Courts there are now Klop's Coattssf, who, in early life, serer.] a clerkship to Attorneys. Prestos, &vies, anal Phinipe, newt'? the Conveyaucers, and, I believe, Mr. Tidd, flint certaiss:y Mr. Gilmer, and many others among the special Meilen, were Attorneys, or Attorneys' Clerks.

I have taken pains so arouse the laud owners in its way fur miles, but they scent inclined to lel it take its course. 1 proposed& plan of throw. ing a strong embankment across the valley, and leaving the country shove it a lake or soft bog, which might be drained at their leisure. To that the proprietors object, without remuneratiou, as they expect the bug will move off their laud if let alune,and no one is able to compensate them. Then I proposed Government to be immediately itiformed of the situation and danger of so many thouaawd re f mea dow land, whirls they say would be a good thiag, but eau one is willing at step forward, and in a few days it will pass the Glee., and spread far and near in an open country, where an embakkinent will be impossible, and Rita tlw loss will be i m mense, as the rivers are all of a lazy description, and will be choked up, flood will follow, the cinnamon-3'llkm be tween Monte and Cla►s rut nil, several highways destroyed, and where the mischief will end few can tell. Never was there a period when a clever, active, public-spirited, and rich i n dividual was more wanted, to combine the divided ideas of interested widividoals for the public good. 1 hope Go vernment will step forward its lending its assistance, as so tine should be lost.

" Whoever would speculate upon the safe foundations of induction, or avoid in ieractice the toms incident to ignorance, most ex. plure the principles of humor nature as they are develops/is the annals of sn•tikiiid, and investigate the past as Ø. peat index of the probable." Ile then pointed out " dis peculiar and paramount importance of Modern History," Some parts of the following quotation may be supposed to allude to the politics of the day, particularly when we call to oar recullectioo the recent dehesee in both Houses ea the Holy Alliance.—" The great religious revolution of the sixteenth century, among its other glorious results, gave being to the system of the law of nation., which Grades moulded into form, and to the fuller recognitiou and eats. blishaseol of Wows reciprocal rights and obligee ipdki which the beautiful structure of Is *lamest power repriact, The lasting principles of divisior and mutual reeistanee•l furnished by the same cause have hitherto contributed W. maintain the fabric; while events of a still more recent date have impressed upon all commies the importance of pre. serving it entire. The lessor his been read to more dons diplomatists; and maxima, that would sacrifice the inde• peadence or integtity of the seseasest state to the •ggnow disement *if another, are spurned in the cottage, if tideland in the eabieet. May ambition never again hate the power of throwing Europe into a convulsion like that from *hide she has recovered! May its unprincipled design., whether displayed in the open aggressions of a wiggle Usurper, or lurking in the plausible pretence. of a despotic alliance, be ever balled by the •wakeeiril vigilance of freedom!" Mr. &bawd thus concluded his Essay, which was hailed by the must rapturous applause:—" Thus are we united to the system of modern alfoira by such an immediate and personal comer:ion as ancient history cannot supply. Ex cept, perhaps, that ilefluence of the Rums. jai isprudence perceptible in Ilse legislative codes of Esc upean nation, we can detect no chain to bind the ancient to the moderu world. The separation is immense : there hes a gulf be t weeu them.
