AMERICAN PAPERS. New York Papers to the 2 d instant reached us yesterday. O. arrivals were to the VOth March, and the interme diate dates up to the 2.; th arc still wanting. In the Coo rs*, the new Trift' Bill continued to occupy, almost ex clusively, the attention of the Representative* and Senate, and is not likely to piss this Session. The Congress is not expeetid to ria.. before the Ist of June. The mania for pew Companies and new schemes appears to have found its wty across the Atlantic. There are Bills before the Con ¢n- s for two new Inslirance Companies, numerous Steam lot Companies, and a mining establishment. The news from Para contaio. 41 in these Papery WI suspect to he a gross exoggeration. The following are extracts ; and among thcat will be fouiet an amusing speech by Mr. ltandoph, upon the subject ot . Ott.' fatiguing duties performed by the 31... lathers of Congress : WASHINGTON, MARCH 27. The debate yesterday set in upon the principle of the Rill for a raision of the Tariff of Ibitics on Imports ; and the debate is to be continued to-day. \lhether the great struggle is now to be made, which is to tliritle in its result the fate of the Rill, or whether the deha!e agcin break off into skirmishes on its de tails, we cannot sty. 4 hr.- impression is, that the details of the measure are not st b at present as In satisfy either its friends or its adversaries.

ROYAL MATERNITY CHARITY MEETING. This Society, novel in its name, but of many years' standing 1111 the Lying-in Charity for delivering Poor Married Women at their own Habitations, beLl its anniversary meeting, at the London I Tamp, fishopsgate-etreet, yesterday. The chair was taken by William Askell i Esq. M.P. After a very sumptuous dinner, and the cloth being removed, Non Nobis Dwaine was sung. The tuataras then rose, and in props:ming the health of the 1 King observed, that it was a gratifying circumstance on the present occasion rot merely to have to propose the health of his Majesty, in conformity to the custom observed at such kind of wettings, but as a return for the peculiar countenance .hewn by him to that par ticular Society, which wan honoured by the patronage of his name. " The King, the Patron of Ibis Scatty," was then drunk with three times three. bong—" (sod save the King." " The Duke of Turk and the Army." Glee— I merrily we live that anldiers be." " The Duke of Clareice and the Navy." Song—" Rule Britannia." The CHAIRMAN taco rose, and said, that it was with particu lar satisfactiou he posed the health* of the Vice-Patrons, " The Duke of Sussex and Prince Leopold." The former honoured moos meeti,gs with his presence; and although the latter was, by circumstances still lodging on the recollection of the country, hitherto prevented from mingling ro generally with us as his heart might prompt hint to do, still there w u never any ores don afhorded him for evincing his disposition towards the support of the charitable institutions of this country, but what his Serene flightless embraced. in allusion to the health& of the Dukes of York and Clarence, the Chairman said it must be felt that such couatenance slicwit towards an institution by Royalty, carried with it the conviction that the object of that institution recommended itself by its own intrinsic importance; and the Duke of York, as Com instwler-in-t!bid, and the Duke of Clarence, as lAwd High .lilniiral of England, must be aware that but for such Societies as that of the Royal Maternity Society, they would hare neither soldiers nor sailors to command and that their present honourable and laborious offices would confer mere titulary honour. " The I'ic7-PAtrons" was then drunk. tome o'er the brook." ; iiIC4 . IIAINMAN, in proposing the health of the Doke of Welling. ton, itated, that his :race was unhappily prevented from presiding at that meeting by indisposition, which the Chairman had authority to .ay lie would certainly otherwise have done. The Duke's health was then drunk. Songl:'ilark, hark, the distant din of war!" The Cilitlall•X nest rose to propose " Success to the Royal Maternity Charity Institution." Ile said, that in naming the Royal Maternity Charity, it would naturally be asked, why the name was changed from that of the hying-in Charity ? He was nut himself fusel of change, but whcnever such an event promoted good, his opinions were not to obstinate as to persist in any esta. Wished custom or form as to be insensible to its defects, and there fore he had approved of the alteration in the name of the institu tion. The reason for it was found in the many similar societies that had, since the establishment of that which they were now cele brating, been instiruted. It assumed the name of Royal, because it was patronized by 3lajesty, and it was called the Maternity Charity, because its object was exclusively directed to the bringing children into the world, under the sanction of matrimony, in dis tinction from other societies, which were not confined to such ewes. The importance of the society, in a national point of view, would be readily perceived, when he stated that it had, from its com mencement, brought into life no less than 261,000 souls, 5,602 of whom were born between Jan. 1, PM, and Jan. I, 11k24. " Prosperity to the Society" was the n drunk. Song—" The Married Men's Fare "—by Mr. Fltrwilllant.

Mr. liaticriswAr,ln rising to return thanks, stated that his Majesty had that day paid his annual subscription of 801; and that he had receirctl, among other donations, the following sums: Legacy of Thomas Mann, 151.; Thomas Lane, Esq. 101. ; Mr. Alsager, 101. 10s.; legacy of Mrs. Garrick, M.; Mr. H.

Nanny, wilt thou gang with me ?" The healthy of the Physicians, the 'Committee, and the Stew ards, were then severally proposed and drunk; after which the Chairman retired. . . It appeared by the Treasurer's statrment, that he was in pd. ranee 2291. 111.. 2d.; but the liberal subscriptiou and donations were expected this year to prevent such a balance to occur attain.

It is gratifying to find, on going through this further Report, which embraces such a variety of charities, that they have been administered with an attention not only to the fulfilment of the will of the reepective founders, but to equitabie dispensation of the different gifts which is greatly praiseworthy, and indeed somewhat remarkable, consider ing the vast variety of hands through which, in a long course of time, they must necessarily have passed. The innustry of the Commissioners in pursuing this in quiry is highly creditable. The two following are the only charities which occur to us ap requiring additional pub licity : WARD OF BREAD STREET. CAUPENTETL . I4 • Mr. Thomas Carpent er, by his will, dated the 29th April, 17:11, and proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury the 23th May, 1732, gave to the trustees of the charities of Mr. John Lane, late citizen and grocer, of London (for an account of which see below), and to John I heilvie, one of the testator's executors, 1,01401. ster ling, to be paid within two years after Ilia decease, and to be by them invested in the purchase of bank suck, in the names of the major part of the trustees, upon trust, to receive the dividends and profits thereof, and lend, grant, every WI. which should he raised out of such dividends and profits of the 1,0001. to some Isom young man, inhabiting within the ward of Bread-street, London, upon I such security, and for such time, as the trustees or survivors of them should think lit, provided no one man should have any sum lot 301. of it above seven years, nor above 1001. in the whole, lent Ito him ; and the testator directed, that on the death of any of the trustees, the interest of the person dying should be transferred by the survivors ter the use of themselves, and such other persona as the said survivors should from time to time appoint; and mat the trustees or the major part of them, should be inhabitants of the ward of " Bread -street; and he further directed, that this charity should be distinguiAhe‘l by the name of 31r. Thomas Carpenter's charity to the ward of 'tread-street ; and that his trustees should perform this trust at the Mlle time, and as often as they should meet to perform the trusts in the will of the said John bane. No accounts of this charity exist prior to 1772. In that year, it appears that there was a sum of 9001. hank stock, standing in the names of the then treasurer and another of the trustees, rendering an additional dividend of 491. 111 a, and there were eight bonds then outstanding for loans of ram. each. The applications for these loans hate not been numerous, owing, probably. in a great measure, to the Hmitation of the privilege to the inhabitants of this single ward. From this circumstance, and also from the bonit•es on hank stock, given at various periods, and from the increased rate of Interest paid by the Bank, this fund has accumulated to a very large amount. It now consists of 6,4371. les. ' bank stock, and 2,7001. nut on louts of 1001. to 27 persons, inha bitants of the ward of Bread-street. The stock stands in the names of William Bedford, Esq. treasurer, Isaac Ilensl . :y, lleorge Bain bridge, and John Ansley, Esqrs. three of the trustees. The other trustees, at present, are Sainuel Hayward, William 31athie, and Thomas l'uleman, E,ryrs. 'l'he loans have, of late years, be'n always to the amount of 1001. each; they are granted, without interest, on ths joint and several bonds of the borrower and three sufficient sure s s, and are made payable three months after the date ; but it is understood, that they are not to be called in in less than seven years, except in ease of the death or failure of the principal or his sureties. 3lost of the trustees reside in the ward of Bread-street, and we are assured that as much publicity as possible is given to the exist ence of this charity throughout the ward; indeed the number of loans DOW outstanding sufficiently prove that it is well known. The capacity of the fund, however, considerably exceeds the de mand upon it, and as things now stand, must continually become mote and more disproportioned to its object. If the trustees had the power of increasing the amount of the loans to more than 1001. each, or to extend them beyond the local limits of the ward, it is probable that they would easily find means of beneficially employ ing their whole fund, and it seems doitable that a competent authority should be applied to, to furnish them with enlarged powers. GENERAL CHARITY. LANE'S CHARITY. Mr. John Lane, citi;enand grocer, by will, dated the Bth Sep tember, 1870, gave to seven trustees the sum of 501. per annum out of his estate, for CO years next after his death, in trust, to pay yearly, during the said 80 years, the following sums:— As an apprentice-fee with a poor child of same poor £. a. d. freeman of the City of London, and born within the said city - . - - 6 0 0 - - To a poor scholar at one of the universiticw. the son of some other poor freeman, and born within the same - - city . . - 5 0 0 To some poor decayed freeman of the said city, aged 10 years or upwards . . - - 5 0 0 To some pour widow of a poor decayed freeman of the said city, of the age of :14) or upwards - 5 0 0 To panne poor widow of a deceased minister, of the age of 36 or upwards . _ . . 0 0 0 To a person :or summoning the trustees yearly - I it 0 To each of his trustees, seven in number, yearly 20s. - 7 0 0 And for an annual dinner for the trustees, and other ex penses - - . . . . 2 0 0 115 0 0 And he directed, that the residue of the 50L should be deposited in the hands of one of the trustees, to be chosen by the rest of them, there to remain till it should amount to SOL nom time to time; and that every SOL which should be so raised should be successively lent, grans, to sonic poor young man inhabiting within thestg:, of Allhallows, Bread-street, or wlthirs the ward of Theta n 7 on such security, and for such uts a. as his trustees should think fit, provided no tile man should have any sum of 301. of it above seven years, nor above ItIOL in the whole, lent unto him; and when all the monies raised out of the surplusage of the Al. per annum should amount to enough to pyrehose ibe inheritance of 501. per annum, then he directed that at she* all be called in, and laid out in the purchasing of MX. per *neon, in the names of his trus tees, upon such trusts, and to be so employed as the 501. per annum so by the testator given as aforesaid, is by him declared and in telnded to be; and he directed, that on the death of any of the trus tees, the interest of him dying should be transferred, by the sur vivors, to such other person as the surviving trustees should from time to lime appoint. On what property the annuity gives by Mr. Lane wu secured, and how the fund was administered during the term of 60 years originally granted. there are now no means of ascertaining, no as counts or documents respecting the charity existing of a prior date to 1746. Bi an account of that year it appears, that there was then be longing to the charity I,OOOL Old South Sea Annuities- one sum of 111. lent on bond, and a balance of 130. Rs. Rd. in the hands of the treaaurer; and that the several charitable payments directed by r. Lane were then nutde. After that period no bans appear to have been made nut of this fund. liwieed, its application to this purpose his been superieded by the charity of Mr. Thomas Carpenter to the ward of Bread. streets before.mervioned. In the year I‘./6, the then treasurer, Mr. John Rowe, died in debteato the charity in 4911. IN. Of this sum only 3801 Ills. Ilki. was received from his representatives.

The engi neer, alarmed by the impending danger, for an instant lost his pre sence of mind and ran on deck, but, recovering himself , rushed back to his post. In the interim the pistons had forted up the deck, and a similar action downwards being apprehended, the passengers gave themselves up for lost. Some were busied in lowering the boat in which to escape ; but fortunately the engineer reached the engine in time to open the valve, and use the ether necessary means, by which that destruction, which a moment before stared all in the face, was averted.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE BRITISH PRESS. am induced to address you in reference to your fluent and flattering expivistion on the statement of income and expen- , diture in each year 'deice 1735, which is inserted in your paper of Saturday. You Net out by pronouncing the statement in question " a most important and interesting paper," and infer from it,—be. nun. since 11115, when taxation and expenditure appear to have attained their maximum, and when the expenditure exceeded the revenue by nearly forty millions per annum, whilst the taxes have been reduced nearly ttirenty millions per annum, and now exceed the expenditure by upward,' of six millions per annum,—that the country is rising toe "proud state of universal confidence and pros perity." "ft is," you say, •" a proud and consoling state of things, anti that it forms the great triumph of Mittistrry, and has secured the present unquestioned popularity they enjoy with the country at large." You proceed to say, that, " with a commerce spread on every sea, and air influence paramount, not only in Eu rope, but the.- whom the civilized world, unexampled happiness anti prosperity have alan seteed rent our own shores. The present Weeny of (:rat Ilfitain is, ") nil aiy," one of uny Ara& led greatness, wraith, and glory; and that it is founded on a basis that dnerng to endure, and is likely to last for ages of greatness and power to come, for it has been l'airly nequired ; it is supported by freedom, by national character, MA national energy and industry, directed by Meru' and CliPetielle.leiliiiirilL " Ilarl I read such an expatriation as this in the ('varier or New Time:, I 'should have let it pass for what it is worth, but regarding your paper as a vehicle of philter,- phial and rational political reasoning and elucidation, equally dis. daining to minister to selfish interests, prepossessions, and vulgar lore judion, as to authorities and the powers that be, I cannot refrain (to use the language of a popular periodical) from denying every part of your enthymeme : Yoe say that the statement in question a " • most important and interesting papso:" I say that it is specious and delusive, mid thurefere unworthy. You aver that the expenditure has been diminished in the ruorstrous sum of about GO millions annually, and that there Ins been a vast reduction' of the burdens of the country 1 say, that whatever may be the re- 1 deletion in the money amount of the expenditure, there is no reduc. tion in the burdens of the country. It is your opinion that the, present history of Greet liritain is one of unparalleled greatness, wealth, and glory ; and that it is founded on a basis that deserves to endure, for it has been fairly acquired : 1 say that the present history of ireat Britain is one of unparalleled privation, distress, and degradation, and of the most awful portent; and that its present ainGition hos been founded either on the grossest error, or the most unpardonable deception. You affirm that the country is supported by freedom, and directed by liberal and enlightened Councils : I affirm, that it is 'supported by a state of subjection, toil, and privation, without a parallel in the history of man, and directed by couccils, which, whatever purity or goodness of intention they may may possess, are replete with petty, gpenilative, and temporizing characteristics; and, to break the enthymeme, I will now proceed to an elucidation of the several propositions in detail, in the order in which they stand. First, AS to the importance and interest of the statement. By the accounts which have been laid before Parliament annually, during the 21 years, 1793-1816, the total revenue amounts to 1,166,564.0341. ; whilst by the statement in question, it amounts only to 1,126,610,41141. being a difference of about 40 millions; in addition to which, three quarters of a year, from the 14th January to the 10:h Octiiher 1799, appears to have been stated twice in the statement in siiestion, making a difference of about 22 millions more, or 62 millions in the aggregate. Again, with re. spect to the income and expenditure in the three years. 1813-15, from which you infer such a monstrous reduction has taken place, had the items been stated in detail, it would have been son that the revenue of those three years had been swelled by 23,548.7701. under die head of extraordinary resources received from Ireland ; whilst the expenditure had been swelled by 20,701,5351. remitted to Ireland during the same period, and 32,354,28111. subsidies to foreign Powers. It is obvious, therefore, that in deducing the re duction in the mere money amount from the ma.rimum which the income and expenditure obtained, that about seven millions per annum must be first taken from the maximums point ; as the items relating to Ireland resolve themselves into a mere nomi nality ; and, as regards the 32.354,21181. for subsidies in those three pars, I shall sliew, although a corresponding amount has ceased to appear in the statements of the Government income and expenditure, that tier foreign loans now in operation resolve themselves into a national burthen, to the extent of 101,015 millions pox annum, as virtually as did the 32.354,1111. of subsi dies in the years 1813-15. Again, as reg ards the amounts fur the six years, 1817-22, by the accounts laibefore Parliament annu ally t the actual amount of taxes in those six years amounted to 325,762,5151., whilst the statement you so highly extol accounts for only 299, 92 3,3111., bring a difference Of nearly 26 millions; and with reference to the last year, you say that in 11118, you mean 1817 (ending sth January 111111). the tcvenue was little more than 48 millions; in 1822 it was 50,700.0001., and in 11123 the resources. and prosperity of Great Britain are so much increased, that it amounts to near a4.54,,0imi1. Thus, you proceed rei ray, "we have now, with the property tax and a whole host of inifthens be side, reduced, in place of a monstrotia deficiency, the large surnhis applicable to the debt of the country of more than six millions sterling." A more false and delusive representation than this Was never made; in the first place, you omit to naive the fact that in 1819 the rates of taxation on certain articles were increased oat a calculation to produce upwards of three millions per annum; and diem, had you examined the items which form the aggregate of the revenue for the last year. you wind(' have seen that about twn was borrowed money, and 767,0001. arising from the juggling transaction relative to Austria ; AO that, as far as legitimate revenue is concerned, it does nut exceed the legitimate demands upon it, by more than about three, instead of six millions per annum ; the the difference between the three millions, and the amount expended on the rerchage of three per cent. Mock- having been raised at a rate of s hunt 751. money for every 1001. of stock, whilst it is now being expended at the rate of about SM. money for every NlOl. of week, being a lass to. the public of about 211. on every 1001 oh stock so purchased. So much foe the worthiness of the statement in one point of view ; butt, for a more complete uudtntanding of the subject, it is necessary to divide the 31 yeats 1793-18:Z, into four periads—drat, 1793- . l797—second, 17911-11;07 or B—third, 1808- )8174 aselbatly, 1818 downwards. It will be seen that during 'the OK d these periods, no material increase in taxes took plseetelut that, with the commencement of the second period, an inertiae of more than one third at once took place. How was it ?' An examination of all the circumstances of that period will shew, that the increase in the income and expenditure was occasioned as ' much, if not more, by the change in the monetary system which ' took place in 171.7, than it was by any actual increase of absolute expense, and the same at the commencement of the third peri,d, when the monetary system underwent a further change. Total non intrinsic representations of amount being legalised as good pay ment, ocerniored again a further increase in the money price of commodities, rather than s corresponding increase in the quantity of commodity; and then, when, in 1817, it was proposed to reestablish an intrinsically valuable money currency at the same standard as exhibited prior to 1797, commodity again yield ed in its money price to the circumstances of the measure pro pond, and which was effected in 11119. So that if the burdens of the country are measured b gold , to which all cemmorlities are again made referable, they wi ll be found greater in Itto than in any former year of the existence of the nation ; and the privation and distress of the greater portion of the people will he found severe in proportion to such increase. On an analytical and fair investigation of the actual amount of taxes collected in each year, since 1792, the maximum of money amount will be seen to have been, in 1815, when the amount was 71,153,1421., and the average of the three years 1813-15 to have been 69.902,1051. per annum, but the money price of gold on an average of those three years, was nut less than 107 s. per ox., and consequently the pressure of taxation annually, tin an average of those three years, was only equal to 13,085,1010 oz. of gold, whilst on an average of the three years, 1920.2 - 2, the money amount of taxes annually will be seen to have been 55,279,7951., payable in gold, or representa t ions of amount convertible into gold on demand, at the rate of 775. 6d. pans.; consequently the pressure of taxation is now equal to 14,265,750 or. of gold, instead of 13,0651130, or 1,200,000 oz. per annum, more than at any for mer period; and further. the ounce of gold will now obtain more of every ether commodity than it would on an average of the three years, 11113-15, and tonsequently, as all taxation is its ultimate result falls on the products of labour, the severity of its pressure is increased in proportion to the increased quantity of products the ounce of gold will now obtain. It may be well to observe that the increased amount of taxation in an ounceof gold in itaelf,or abstract edly viewed, leads to no just conclusion ; because, supposing the sup ply of gold to have increased in a corresponding or greater ratio, thaw on whom taxation falls, would he so much more i.ble to contribute, and the increase of aggregate amount would in such case occasion no increase of severity or pressure in its exaction; that is. a redim dant supply of gold would occasion precisely the same effect as a redundant supply of paper, or any other non-intrinsic representa tion of amouta, viz. an increase in the money rate or price of pro. ducts, whereby less produce and consequently less severity of la bour, into which all taxation resolves mielf,would meet the demand of taxes; but three has been no redundant supply of gold, and no in crease (in a general sense) of the money price of commodities, and therefore the severity and pressure of taxation is virtually, and to all intents and purposes, increased since 1815, in a degree as before expressed, say equal to the money value of 1,200,000 oz. of gold per annum, and as much more as the ounce of gold will now obtain more of commodity, or the products of labour, than it would during the Limner period of 1813-1815; and as a proof of die privet. Lion and distress resulting front such increased severity and pressure of taxation, may be adduced the decreasing or stationary con gumption of every taxable commodity contributary to the sub sistence and comfort of society, notwithstanding an increase in the number of consumers exceeding one.thinl. Wine, the most natural of luxuries. within the last 30 years has decreased in consumption or'-half ; malt and tea have not increased ; and of sugar, although oie of those AI iniaters whom you designate so liberal and enlightened , asserted in Parliament the other evenieg, had inercase.d in consumption more than 40 per cent. since 1814, tile con sumption in nine years subsequent to 1814 has been actually less than it was in the nine years preceding 1814, in which y ear . two special causes,--an extraordinary increase of p ri ce, and an mantic in the ' , rate of duty,—tended to diminish the consumption ; and a return of the number ofrattle and sheep sold in Smithdeld 51arket in tach year since 1790, made to l'arliament last Sessions, shows, in pro portion to the increased number of consumers, that there was an avern,e of the five years, 1818-22. an annual diminution of supply of 36561 head of cattle, and 0664 sheep in comparison with the supply on the average of the five years, I'l9B-1802. If further proofs than these arc wanting in corroboration of the fan of the privation and distress of the great mass of the peoples haring increased in a ratio exceeding the increase of their numbers and the virtual increase of taxation, the returns 'hewing the alarm ing and frightful increase of pauperism and crime may be adduced. The length to which this part of my elucidation has run, compels me, me, in deference to the space it will occupy in your column's, to reserve my conclusion for another opportunity. Relying upon your candour and regardfor truth for the insertiop of the present, I remain your obedient Sextant, 24th April. N. CHINESE PAINTS 1 From the Afechassies lfegindat.l • The peculiar beauty of the Chinese drawings is swing, lit ne din particular nature of the minoring sublimates, ItrieNkrnit preparation, raidto their being mixed with glue or aim, Wheel gutn-water, as is the common practice in Europe, • . . In regard to the preparation, two things must hit obaerred that the beauty of the colour depends, in a very.great musam, upon the fineness of its particles, the finest being always thg.toest beautiful. A Chinese painter often employs a man for Moe or four days to grind a small quantity of vermillion in a Plaselalin mortar, and it is from this •they derive their fine reds. It i 4 there: fore necessary to levikate the paints to a very grad denote sub: til ty, in order to let them acquire the inmost degree of Willbuti which they are capable ; aridit must not ha imagined; that bens* they seem to be c-ceedingly floe to the touch, they may not be tni prtved by Pirther grinding. Secondly, it must be considered, that inoat mineral colours are prepared w:th acids, alkalies, or other salts, and that a small super aim ...dance of those saline substances generally remains with them, which, after a shorter or longer time. produces Considerable altera tion in their brilliancy, and often entirely changes the colour. .• . In order to obviate this ineonvenience, the paint, after baring been lerigated, must be repeatedly .washed iq elten water : dif tilled water is the fittest ; but the waters of many springs are suf.. ficicntly pure for this purpose, In order to effect this properly. Ira about half an ounce of the paint in a half-pint glint phial, and fill the rest of the phial almost entirely with water ; shake it well then let it sand for a while, and the coloured powder will soon &II to the bottom ; then pour off the water, by inclining the p,hial gem: tly, so as not to disturb the sediment, and fill it again with clout water, and so on for five or six times; after which, the mimic being gently dried, must be ground a lhde longer, and then It LI 4t,for use. - - The glue or size to be mixed with the paints, is exttactad from 1 parchment in the fondling manner:—Take about four nuncss of clean parchment, cut it into small bits, and put it to soak In a quart of clean water for abuut twelve hours; then boil the, whole on a gentle fire, end in the hennaing take of the scum with • spoon.

SFk6latiT Pit.,.—The last number of the Life trrary Observer, in a sketch of the style and manner of Mr ter. geant Pell, gives the tidlnicing anecdote :—The Brat leading brief which Mr. Sergeant Pell received, was at the Salisbury AI about twenty years ago ; it was entrusted to bim by a highly re. speetable solicitor, at present residing in t:alisbury. The cause, II believe, was an issue out of I 'hancery, to try, by ejectment, a plea. tion of title to certain lands under a devise. It is very seldom that junior Counsel get an opportunity for the display of their talents, and they frequently complain against solicitors for their want of liberality ; but really I think it too much to expect from gentlemen who have the responsibility of a heavy ease upon them, that they should entrust the management of it to a barrister who has not been tried, and of whose talents they bare only heard, through th. par. tinlity of friends ; and by turning to the crowd of young men si ho travel the cirelpits, it will be readily acknowledged, how very few there ere who deserve much encouragement. I am aware that sonic. times a young man of talent lingers for years in obscurity, from the want of the lucky opportunity for proving himself to the world, and we all know how rlailt it is to acquire a character in the eras instance.
