Many correspondents have importuned us to give an opinion respecting the regulations said to have been promulgated by the Benchers of the Inner Temple, as their conditions of admission to the honour of being " called to the bar." Till we see some authentic copy of these resolutions, we shall abstain from making any corn- , ment ; but we will say at once, that certain persons—and those not a few—have, during the last ten years, con trived to become enrolled among the members of a learned profession, whom neither education, nor knowledge, nor talents, nor honourable feelings, nor decorous habits, have fitted to belong to any decent, much less to any gentle. manly society.— Times. Some Continental Papers have lately stated that the hotel of the English Consul at Bucharest has been suddenly closed. They appear to attach a good deal of political importance to that circumstance, and seem anxious that it should be looked upon as implying nothing less than an approaching misunderstanding between this country and Russia. This merely shews how great a disposition there is in some quarters to magnify trifles which can be made to bear reference to the war in the East into events pregnant with great results. For several years past there has been no British Consul resident in Wallachia. When Mr. STRATFORD CANNING com menced, in 1826, the negotiations relative to Greece, his communications with Vienna and England became so frequent, and required so much expedition, that he found it necessary that some one should be stationed at Bucharest to accelerate them, and prevent delays. One of his junior private secretaries was selected to fill that duty. His functions naturally ceased with Mr. CANNING'S resigna tion of the Constantinople embassy; and as, so long at least as Wallachia and Moldavia remain in the hands of the Russians and the war continues, the service with which he was charged was both unnecessary and impracticable, that gentleman's preparations to quit Bucharest were the consequence of circumstances which had no political ho portance whatever.-- Times. * We perceive from an article in the Courrzer Francais, that the King of the NETHERLANDS has been foiled in his object of making philosophical Priests. The intentions of the KING were, no doubt, good; but we fear he went too directly to work. To make a philosophical Priest is a problem of nearly as great difficulty as to make an honest thief. The best way is to establish an opposi tion to the Priests. In this country the Clergy of the Established Church were generally hostile to the Hanover family till the last reign. The Government did not compel them to be rational—no easy task—but they shook their authority with the people through the press. One pre tension after another was assailed ; and the consequence is, as the Quarterly Review feelingly laments, the last rem nant of Apostolical tradition, the venerable shovel hat, is fast disappearing from among us. —Morning Chronicle. A very strong sensation was created in the Stock Exchange yesterday afternoon, by an intimation that a Mr. SLATFORD, for a number of years an extensive specu lator in the Funds, had committed suicide at his lodgings, in the City-road, having, as ascertained, differences to pay, which he was incompetent to meet. Not having reached the market as early as usual on a pay-day, his friends and creditors began to entertain some suspicion that all was not right, and sent to ascertain the cause of his absence at his lodgings, when he sent an answer that he had overslept himself, but would attend in the market at twelve o'clock. This, it would seem was the particular hour when lie destroyed himself by a pistol, the ball of which passed through his head. The event was not known at the Stock Exchange until nearly half-past two o'clock ; when Con sols for Account, which had been steady at about 893, dropped to 881—a number of dealers selling Stock against what they had previously bought, which could not be delivered by Mr. SLATFORD. His differences, however, excepting his private debts, it is understood do not exceed 1,0001. Before the termination of business, the Market became more firm, and Consols for Account left off at 89q. =Morning Chronicle. • The new regulations respecting the postage of letters in France have been recently published. They are as follows : " Article 1. The letters carried by regular packet-boats, at:the expence of the state, to the two American conti nents, and to islands attached to them, shall pay, above the postage fixed by the law of the 15th of March, 1827, a tax of 15 decimes per single letter. (A decime is equal to two French sons.) Letters sent to any part of the Me diterranean from French ports, by packets, shall pay a tax of 10 decimes. The increase of that tax shall be pro portioned in the same manner as that which is determined by the third article of the said law. When the letters are to be carried by mercantile vessels, they shall only be passable according to the tax fixed by the sixth article of the said law. Newspapers, pamphlets, printed letters in the French or other languages, shall pay a sea-rate, whether going or corning, which shall be four times the amount of tax fixed by the law of the 15th of March, 1827, in pro portion to their carriage on French territory. " Art. 2. Letters from France, for England, Scotland, and Ireland, reciproc a ll y , whi c h s h a ll b e carr i e d b y means of an extraordinary servi ce o f estafettes between Par i s an d Calais, shall pay, above th e postage fi xed by the tar iff s i n operation, a ta . x of three decimes per single letter. The proportion of increase of this supplementary tax shall be the same as that which has been fi xe d by the third article of the law of the 1 5th of March, 1827." THE GREAT WHITWELL ESTATE IN YORKSHIRE. 'I his Estate, although not so extensive as several that have come under the immediate direction of Mr. GEORGE ROBINS this year, has nevertheless caused so great a sensation, and more particularly in the county of York, that we cannot refrain f r o m giving a short summary from this gentleman's par ticular :—The WIIITIVELL PROPERTY has long held a distinguished place in public opinion : yet it will be difficult to do justice in this description, without encountering the risk of too highly colouring the picture. This observation necessarily applies only to those who have not been so fortunate as to have had ocular proof. To those who are familiar with this proverbially beautiful estate, the following remarks may appear to partake of the works of supererogation. To the former, therefore, the fol lowing summary of the leading features is more especially directed. Whitwell is distant 12 miles from York, on the mail road to Scarborough (a fashionable watering place) and Whitby. The pro perty commences at Spittle Bridge, two miles nearer to York, and extends nearly that distance on each side of the road. It embraces altogether 1,557 acres 20 perches of capital land (more or less) meadow, pasture, and arable, in the highest state of cultivation, divided into nine farms, each lying uncommonly well together, the river Derwent form ing its boundary. Of the farm-house and buildings it is not an easy task to speak of their merits and yet do them justice. The liberality and good sense that devised the plan of erecting these extraordinary good houses, is every day becoming more manifest; and the regret that formerly prevailed at the im mense outlay of capital which this plan required, hath long since ceased. It is, indeed, refreshing to view these comfortable abodes, as in contradistinc tion to three-fourths of the farmers' houses through out England, and their substantiability renders it unnecessary to expend a single guinea upon either for years to come (a point of no small importance in the purchase of large property). It will be seen, by referring to the plan, that for compactness this estate cannot be exceeded; and it may be added, that for the quality of the soil, and the respectabi lity and long standing of the tenantry, will not yield to any property in the county. One fact will probably be quite ample to demonstrate this—there is not an instance on record of a single arrear of rent upon this highly-favoured estate. This indeed speaks volumes, and ap pears to render a further commentary unnecessary. There are two packs of hounds in the neighbour. hood, and the estate itself abounds with game. A navigable river communicates with Hull, and thence to the West Riding of Yorkshire and London, as the markets may vary. To conclude, this property includes the whole Lordship, fishing in the river Der went, and possesses the grand desideratum of being free from tythe and extra-parochial. A commentary upon such cheering facts must be superfluous, unless it were applied to those who have before been scep tical as to the good taste of transferring, without delay, a portion of Three per Cents into the staple commodity of Land. The present exceedingly high prices of the Funds, with the probability of a re action at no distant period, is worthy of serious re flection to the great capitalist, because the probable event that will considerably lessen the value of his stock, will increase his capital in exactly the same proportion, if it be transferred into Land, and more especially as it applies to such an Estate as Whitwell. The following is an outline of the property : WitITIVELL HOUSE.—This residence is of an un pretending character, although the interior puts forth strong claims to admiration from those who would prefer comfort to ostentation. It is erected of stone, and necessarily a very substantial structure; it is moderate in its size, but to those who agree with the writer of the imperfect detail which is to follow, that the situation of Whitwell is irresistible and can not be exceeded in England, it will not be too much to expect they will readily make such addition as convenience may require. This unobtrusive mansion is wisely placed on a fine commanding situation, and connected with it is a Terrace Walk, of considerable extent, adorned by myriads of flowering shrubs and rare American plants. From this little paradise the views are in describably beautiful ; in front is a fertile vale of immense extent, adorned by scenery that even Swit zerland might be proud of; and includes the mag nificent Minster of York, rising in majestic gran deur; next in succession are the far-famed ruins of Sheriff Hulton and Crake Castle; and in another direction is the range of Yorkshire hills extending to Middleham Moor, the great Ormost Cliff, and the Hambledon Hills. The Domain around the man sion is of a park-like description. A vista is formed in the plantations, terminated by the ancient grotto. In fine, it would be difficult to imagine any thing very beautiful that the grounds of Whitwell do not partake of. SUMMARY OF THE RENTAL OF TIIE WHITWELL ESTATE. Rental and Ann. Value. - - A. R. P.

On Tuesday a girl of the name of APPLE YARD was in Kirkgate, having in her charge two little sisters, twins. While she was walking deliberately up the street, an elder girl, who, from her brogue and appearance is supposed to be of Dish extraction, came up to her, and holding out a small phial, containing liquid, invited APPLEvAnn to partake of some " cowslip wine." The little girl at first hesitated, but was at length persuaded to allow the stranger to pour some of the liquid into the palm of her hand, upon condition that she should immediately drink it up. This was the act of a single instant, but her agony may he imagined when we state that it proved to be oil of vitriol. The victim's mouth became instantly excoriated, and the most distressing and painful symptoms were the consequence of this diabolical act. The delin quent looked on for a moment, and then said, in a tone of exultation, "it is poison," and ran away.

PLYMOUTH REGATTA. FIRST DAY. The usual gratification of the Regatta presented itself on Tuesday. At an early hour, parties in carriages, horses, and pedestrians, were seen hurry ing in all directions, and before eleven o'clock nearly all the rank, beauty, and fashion in these towns and vicinities, were assembled on the Hoe; the Beach, St. Nicholas' Island, Mount Batten, and every point which commands a near view of the Sound, were also crowded; added to which were the Sir Francis Drake and the Sophia Jane steamers, with numerous parties on board. The weather was beautiful, with a fine breeze from the south-west. The Committee, as usual, took every precaution to ensure good order, and to add to the gratification of the day the lively bugles of the 43d Regiment added much to the pleasure of the scene. The Committee met at an early hour, in a temporary booth erected on pur pose, when the flag was hoisted. At nine o'clock the signal gun was fired for the yachts to prepare; the second gun was fired at eleven o'clock; about this time it was intimated to the Committee that Mr. Moore had withdrawn his yacht Elizabeth, consequently there were only the Harriet and Hebe to contend for the Club Cup—but such being con trary to the rules of the Club, a considerable delay was occasioned : and a doubt was at once enter tained whether there would be a race or not. Capt. Lyons, owner of the Blue Eyed Maid, on hearing of the determination of Mr. Moore, kindly consented to enter his vessel. At four minutes past one o'clock the signal gun was fired for starting. The Regatta Club Cup, yachts of 50 tons and upwards; the following started :—Harriet cutter, GO tons, G. W. Heneage, Esq.; Hebe cutter, 68 tons, Andrew Corbett, Esq. ; Blue Eyed Maid, James Lyon, Esq. The Blue Eyed Maid took the lead in starting : the Harriet soon gained ground on both vessels and rounded the starting boat two minutes and a half before the Hebe, and four minutes and 35 seconds before the Blue Eyed Maid. The Harriet rounded the starting boat the second time in two hours 48 minutes 30 seconds, beating the Hebe four minutes and a half, and winning the race in gallant style. The whole distance was about 25 miles. The Blue Eyed Maid came in five minutes and 10 seconds after the Hebe. The 10 sovereigns for hookers, were sailed for by the following vessels : Brothers T. Andrews,... 23-7 feet yawl. Pearl P. Slode Dolphin S Dyer Catherine ... Venus W. Pearse 94 feet ditto. These boats started at 30 minutes past one p.m. and came in in the following order : Dolphin Brothers Pearl. Venus, The Catherine gave up early in the race, which was well contested between the remaining boats, and gave much satisfaction to the numerous spec tators on the Hoe, a large proportion of whom, being naval men, were fully able to appreciate the skill evinced by the several competitors for the prize. SECOND DAY. The weather was fine, but cloudy, with a light breeze from the S.W. The Hoe beach, &c. exhi bited a considerable crowd of spectators, though riot so dense as on the first day. The Clarence Gold Cup was sailed for by the following yachts The Illenai, T. A. Switb, Esq. Lulworth, J. Weld, Esq. Scorpion, Lord Clonbrock 175 tons. 170 110 These vessels started at two minutes past noon, when the Scorpion took the lead, closely followed by the Lu/worth, which, however, soon passed her, and kept the lead during the remainder of the race, rounding the starting boat at 17 minutes past three p.m. The Menai did the same at 23 minutes, and the Scorpion at 26 minutes past three. On the se cond round the vessels were quite becalmed, and lay for many hours perfectly unmanageable. At 22 minutes before ten the Luhvorth, with all the nau tical skill which could, under such circumstances, be brought into play, rounded the starting boat for the last time, and won the prize, having most com pletely distanced her competitors. The Ladies' Cup was contested for by the Blue Eyed Maid J. Lyon, EN. 49 tons. Neuha, J. Saunderson, Esq. 44 Maria, Capt. Daniel. Starting at three minutes past two p.m., when the Blue Eyed Maid took the lead, followed by the Neuha, the Maria bringing up the rear. At ten minutes past six p.m. the Blue Eyed Maid rounded the starting boat for the first time, these vessels being► becalmed at ten p.m. the gun was fired, and the Blue Eyed Maid declared the successful com petitor.

The first prize of 101. was won by the Ann Elizabeth ; the second prize of 61. by the Two Sisters. The rowing match was won by R. Atkins, which en titled him to 151. Upon the whole the day's sport was extremely gratify ing, each prize being well contested for, and the whole passing off without any serious accident. CRICKETING. Wednesday a match for 50 sovs. was played on Black heath, between eleven young Gentlemen of that vicinity and eleven of Bromley, which, after a fine exhibition of skill on both sides, was won by the former.

This match was witnessed by many fashionables:and the celebrated Lambert, of Bromley, one of the first cricketers i❑ the empire, was umpire, and evinced much condescension in patronising the junior professors of a sport in which he has himself won so many laurels. The Rev. HENRY TROL LOPE, of Harrington, has returned 20 per cent, from his year's tithe. CELTIC POPULATION IN FRANCE. In the western part of France, northward of the Loire, that is in the ancient Bretagne, there is a large population who speak a language which is at bottom the same with that as the Welsh. Whether the people of Wales are a colony from Bretagne, or the people of Bretagne a colony from Wales, is a point in dispute among antiquaries ; but we have little doubt that the French Celts are the more ancient of the two. They are spread over the five departments of Cotes du Nord, Finisterre, Ille et Vilainc, Mor bihan, and Loire Inferieure, and compose a large part of the population of these districts, the whole of which amounts to 2,400,000. In some papers which we published respecting the Celtic population two years ago, we alluded to the want of information as to their habits and con- dition. This, we find, is partially supplied by some articles in the Bulletin des Sciences Geo graphiques, now before us, the substance of which we shall present to our readers. The Breton or Celtic language prevails chiefly in Finisterre, Morbihan, and Cotes.du Nord, and has four principal dialects, some of which differ so much from the others, that an inhabi tant of Leon for instance, is very imperfectly understood in Cornouailles, and not at all in Morbihan. Before the Revolution it was iu some cases difficult to find four or five persons in a parish who knew French, but now there is not a cultivator in decent circumstances, in whose family there is not an indi vidual who either speaks or understands it. The Breton language is poor, except in terms applicable to rural labour, and is quite incapable of expressing metaphysical ideas. It has no literature except songs ; and the Breton (a jour nal from which the Bulletin has derived its in formation) states, that there is one very popular song, which has often produced on the soldiers drawn from these districts, effects similar to those attributed by the Swiss to the Ranz des Vaches. The peasant of Bretagne lives in an isolated cottage, which is ill built, and badly lighted, with no other companions than his fa mily and his domestic animals. In his habits he is incommunicative, and has a bluntness of man ner which is rather the result of coarseness of character than independence. He is more in clined to melancholy than gaiety, and rarely ma nifests satisfaction. With the inhabitants of towns he always acts a simulated part, and only indulges his natural frankness among persons of his own class. Naturally greedy, he is supple and submissive when making a re quest. If he is wealthy he conceals it, and al ways feigns himself poorer than he is, unless some stronger interest induces him to ex aggerate his resources. Severe in his treat ment of himself, as well as of his family, he subjects himself to continual priva tions, even when his circumstances do not re quire it. As in the case of every ancient people, the husband is the absolute master of the house, and the wife can do nothing and dispose of no thing without his orders. The Bretons are of rather short stature, two-thirds of the males being under five feet in height (five feet four inches English measure), but they are generally ro bust, bear fatigue well, and are faithful to their engagements, even to the extent of sacrificing their lives or fortunes. Though generally inac tive, they are passionately fond of dancing, both males and females, and will often travel one or two leagues to enjoy their favourite pastime on a barn floor, to the sound of the biniou or bag pipe. The dress in the different districts is as various as the language. At the chapel of Ru mingol on fete days, an amusing diversity of bizarre costumes is displayed. At these fetes, which are called pardons, they attend in great numbers, and after taking part in them with much seriousness, they go in crowds to the taverns, where they drink copiously, and dance to the music of the bagpipe. They are strongly at tached to their natal soil—follow the routine to which they have been accustomed with invincible obstinacy—and, from a certain apathy of cha racter, feel little desire for any thing beyond the most ordinary means of subsistence. Like most people who are averse to steady labour, they take to begging in great numbers, and watch the diligences, that they may extort money by their importunity from travellers. In their treatment of infants, they are accustomed to swaddle them very hard, and, like some savage nations, they conlpress the head when the child is newly born. Upon the whole we conclude, from this descrip tion, that the French Celts are a rude, ignorant people, destitute of gaiety, but loving strong ex citement ; indifferent to every thing beyond the narrow circle in which they vegetate, immovable in their customs and ideas, faithful to one an other, and frank in their mutual intercourse, but suspicious of strangers. In several features of their national character, they have certainly a resemblance to the Welsh, the Irish, and our Highlanders, but the greater number are such as belong to semi-barbarous life . in every part of the globe.—Scotsma 72 Lord WILLOUGHBY DE BROOKE, at his audit at Louth on Tuesday the 14th instant, returned his low-ground tenants of the parish of Gayton-le-Marsh whole year's rent, and agreed to deduct 1 0 per cent. from the rent for the time to come. The Rev. Dr. Minn, Rector of the parish, also abated his tithes 30 per cent. On Wednesday evening, Miss CAROLINE IluscANn, a child four years old, daughter of Dr. HUS BAND, Minster-yard, was in the drawing-room, when, attracted by the sound of a carriage passing, she rushed to the window, which was open, and nearly level with the floor ; she fell out of this window to the: ground, a height of 14 feet nine inches, and, most remarkable to relate, got up and went into the house, and told them she was unhurt ; carrying the news of her fall and preservation before any one in the house was aware of the accident ! York Chronicle. PARIS, JULY 17.—The Courts in this me tropolis have lately been engaged with a singular trial, the circumstances of which occurred within the last eight days. A painter, already well known for talent in his profession, married a young woman of good family, and of personal attractions. He loved his bride almost to dis traction ; but, from the very first night of their marriage, he entertained strong suspicions that she had deceived hint, and was not a spinster. lie questioned her; but the answers were far from removing his doubts. He beeame almost mad with rage, and, in a moment of extreme vio lence, gave her a blow in the stomach. "Ah ! wretch," exclaimed the young woman, "you have killed my child." The husband appeared thunderstruck at this information, and on the following day the physician was called in, and he was of opinion that the young woman had been in the family way for several months. The husband applied to the Courts for a separation a mensa et thoro, and declara tion to the effect that he was not the father of the child. The point is rather a difficult one, considering the state of our laws—the maxim is " Pater is est guent Impala; denzonstrant." The question is, whether that will apply in the present case. What is to be done, if the woman declares that her husbandlS the father of the childi, and that she had yielded to his, solicitations before marriage? With respect to the separation, the wife had more right to demand it, considering the violence used towards her; but she has made no application of the kind. The point is quite new; but the jurisdiction of the Courts in this country does not extend to a case of this qeser,iptian.— 211o)ning Paper.
