that he had exercised no proßt a bl e emp l oyment, and had lived upon his property during the time he kept his tvrms. Another member, recently call Ni to the bar, was questioned as to his private life and circumstances, his property, his morals, whether he was rmrricd or single, and as to his religion. The reputed leading promoters of the new orders in the courts, Sir James Searlett and Mr. John \Vilharm, have, it is in courtesy presumed, for their sole intention to maintain the respecta bility of the bar (according to their notions of reapectability) ; and to procure for the public au additional supply of' legal talent. But if it be so it is complained that they have been peculi ar ly unfortunate in the choice cf their measures. The greatest skill must attend the most extensive practice, and there will of course lie the utmost diligence where there is the strongest motive.— By requiring an attorney to give up practice for two or three years before he is admitted,so much practical skill as that length of increased practice would give, is lost, and all his previously ac quired practical skill is impaired. The rule also shuts out those who have not property to enable them to maintain themselves during the pruba tionary period, and encounter the riaki-,7 of failure. By requiring a proficienel , in Greek, general literature, and Latin, ao much time as the ac quisition of the proficiency absorb is taken from the acquisition of legal knowledge. BV expressly or implicitly requiring qualifications as to property those are excluded who have the greatest motive for exertion. If such regulations as those proposed had for mciiy been carried into operation in their lull spirit they would have excluded the greatest or naments of the bench and the bar. Lord Eldon and Lord Stowell are the sons of a barge -roaster and small dealer in coals at New castle. Lord Stowell borrowed 401. to go the cirosot, and both supported themselves for a time by their talents as private tutors. Lord Tenterden is the son of a hair-dresser, and ob tained an eleemosynary education, on the foun dation of a charity belonging to the town. The Lord Chancellor is the son of Mr. Copley, the painter. The Chief Justice of the Court of Common Pleas is the son of an attorney. Mr. .John Williams, one of the benchers of this Inn, is the son of a horse-dealer in Yorkshire. Mr. F. Pollock, another bencher, is the son of a saddler of that name at Charing-cross. Mr. Bickerateth, also a bencher, was not long since house-surgeon and accoucheur in tile family of Lord Oxford. The mother .of Mr. Gurney, the bencher, kept a small book-shop for the sale of pamphlets in one of the courts of the city.— Mr. Campbell, the King's Counsel, and son, in-law to Sir James Scarleit, was one of the class inferior to that which was recently de signated in Court as " the meanest of man kind," namely, the editors of public journals ; for he was a reporter to a daily paper at a time when such labour being much worse paid than at present, the situation must have been, according to Sir James Scarlett's esti mation, much less respectable. Mr. Serjeant Spankie was one of his colleagues. Mr. Ste phens, the Master in Chancery, was also a re porter. Five of the Judges sent out to our colo nies were reporters, and about twelve or fifteen of the present barristers were reporters of the daily papers. The present Solicitor-General, Mr. Sug den, is the son of a barber, and was clerk to Mr. Groome, the operative conveyancer to the late Marquis of Londonderry. It is remarkable that the admission of Mr. Sugden was opposed on the ground that he had been a clerk, and but for the exertions of that most amiable man and ornament to his profession, Mr. Hargrave, who contended for his admission on the ground, that whatever he had been, lie was a man of talent, and had written a book which displayed qualifi cations of a superior order, he would now have been any thing but Sir Edward Burtenshaw Sugden, Solicitor-General to his Majesty. These are only a few of the living examples. The greater number perhaps of the departed members of the profession, who became dis tinguished in their times, arose much in the same manner. Chief Justice Saunders, whose reports of this day form the best text-book for pleaders, was a beggar-boy, first taken notice of by an attorney, who took him into his office. Lord Kenyon was an attorney's clerk. Lord llardwicke was a peasant, and afterwards an at torney's writer and office-boy. Lord Thurlou himself, an illustration of his own rule, used to say, that the surest cause of success to a barris ter was, " parts and poverty." When Erskine and Curran once dined with his present Majesty, then Prince of Wales, the prince "aye a toast, " The bar." Erskine said he owed every thing to the bar; and Curran added, " then what may I say, since it has raised me from the condition of a peasant to the table o my prince ?" It is alleged, as a ground for these proceed ings, that the profession of the law is at present overstocked. It has not been acknowledged by the public or by suitors that it is overstocked by talent. It is admitted to be now, as it ever has been, to a greater or less degree, overstocked by numbers, and so is every other leading avocation. But it is asked, would it be desirable that a vo luntary and irresponsible association of mer chants, for instance, should be entrusted with the power of admitting persons to competi tion in commercial pursuits ; and would it be thought they acted efficaciously and for the public good if they exacted, as qualifications, an attention to the ornamental arts, never called. for in mercantile affairs, Greek and general litera ture, and should countenance no candidate but those of fair pedigree, who had means sufficient to enable them to dispense with the painful labour requisite for further acquisitions ? There are men below the bar of longer stand ing, of more extensive practice, and, it is to be presumed, therefore, of higher acquirements, than any who are likely to accept the situations of stipendiary examiners. 'Hese will not be in clined to submit to regulations which will sub ject them to the liability of the operation of pro fessional jealousies. Several members, whose talents have already been manifested, and who are not driven, duris urgens in rebus egestas, have expressed their determination not to submit to give their sanction to rules of invidious exclu sion, more worthy of a low craft than of a liberal profession. They spurn attempts to introduce a system which, in their opinion, would degrade the bar by rendering the success of its members more dependent on adventitious circumstances than on intellectual merit.—Mornin g ; Chronicle. - - - ---= The Admiralty and Navy Boards were first established by HENRY VIII , ; the former at Deptford, in the house known of late years as the Gun Tavern. The chimney-piece of the Board-room, hearing the arms of the office, and those of the Lord High Admiral, the Earl of SunazY, (1514) richly emblazoned, has recently been added to the collection of relics at Trematon Castle.

(From the 21 - c.tsciger des Chambres of July 18.) BANKS OF THE DANUBE, JULY 6,----The Cabi net of St. Petcrsbnrh has sent to all the Allied Courts the official bulletins of the brilliant victory gained by the troops under General Diebitsch, and `:as ::ccompanied them by notes, renewing the as surance that his Majesty the Emperor Nicholas per severed in his desire to prevent, ;is much as possible, die farther effusion cf blood, if the Ottoman Porte \Oil but show itself disposed to satisfy the demands which all Europe has recognized to be just, and to enforce which itussa was obliged to take up arms. The extremely moderate terms in which these notes are dre , e-ii up have produced a great impres sion, and as soon as they were known on 'Change :it Vienna, a decided rise in the funds took place. N.B. This news may he compared with that which we give under the head of Paris. PARIS, JULY 18 —Several of the morning jour nals contain the following paragraph :—" It is ;Iflirmed that after the victory of the 11th of June, gained by the Russian army, his Majesty the Em peror Nicholas has addressed diplomatic notes to all the Cabinets of Europe, to satisfy them with re spect to his intentions, and to protest that his whole wish is to conclude peace with Turkey." The opening of the Federal Diet of Switzerland took pliee at Berne on the 6th of July. All the members of the foreign corps diplomatic were pre sent. The opening speech made by his Excellency M. de \Vattenviile, the President, gave in general terms a most satisfactory account of the foreign re lations, and the internal state of the confederation. Don Joseph du Portugal e Castro, son of the For tnguese General, Marquis de Valence, died lately at Paris ; he has been buried in the cemetery of Pere La Chaise, near the tomb of the Marchioness do Penafiel, his cousin s who died at Paris some years ago. (From the CAtitutionnel of Sem d3y.) CONSTANTINOPLE, JUNE 20.—The Sultan is un easy at the position of the Russians at Sizeboli. He knows that they have received reinforcements, and that, far from thinking of evacuating that place, they rather seem disposed to make use of it, in order to support them in an advance towards Adrianople.— The Sultan is again using vigorous measures against the Softas or sextons of the mosques, of whom he is determined to make soldiers. The Mufti will not sanction this measure. It is thought he will be de posed. The Sultan has just learned that Missolonghi and Lepanto have fallen into the hands of the Greek rebels. He does not seem to be concerned at it, be cause the English have promised him to get those places restored. In fact, their Consul at Egina has just sent word hither that he had protested against the occupation of them. Lastly, hopes are enter tained that within two months the English will have a squadron in the Black Sea. Nobody at Constar,- dimple will be surprised at this, for an offensive al liance is openly spoken of between Turkey, Persia, and Great Britain. Of what use will that ba if the Russians pass the Balkan ? We hear of the opening of the campaign by General Paskewitseh, of a new revolt in Arabia, wkich engrosses all the attention of the Paella of Egypt ; we hear of fresh troubles in Bosnia, and it would not be surprising if we should hear that Servia had risen in favour of the Russians. On the other hand, it appears that the plague, which had manifested itself at Gallavz, has spread into Arabia, and even to Odessa. It prevails in the camp of Shumla, at Sophia, and in several villages on the banks of the llebrus. It may be soon brought to Constantinople. The country of Thrace presents one vast scene of desolation, most of the villages are destroyed or deserted, the inhabitants having lied to the towns or the moutitains. ST. PETERSBURGH PAPERS. Tuus, MAY 30 (JUNE I1).—On the 22d inst. (June 3), his Excellency the Commander-in-Chief went from Akhalkakki to Ardagan, where it is re ported that a considerable force of the enemy is as sembled. No further particulars have yet reached us. On the 28th (9th June) Major-General Prince Dolgorucky left Tiflis to proceed to Persia. ST. PETERSBURG'', JULY 7.—Yesterday the in habitants of the capital were agreeably surprised by die unexpected arrival of his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Alexander, who proceeded, in the first instance, to the Casan Cathedral, where he was sur rounded by the crowd of persons that flocked to gether to sec him, and received by the Clergy with the Cross and the Holy Water. After prayers his Imperial Highness went to his palace, and then to Zarskojiselo. Thi day being the anniversary of his Majesty's birth, and also that of her Imperial Highness the Grand Duchess Alexandra, Divine Service was performed with great solemnity in the Casan Cathe dral, by the Metropolitan Archbishop Braphin and the superior Clergy, in the presence of the Gover nor of St. Petersimrgh, the General Staff, and a numerous assemblage of the inhabitants. Thanks givings were afterwards put up for the victory ob tained by Lieutenant-General Geismar over the Turks near Widdin. The trophies taken from :he enemy were paraded through the streets, and t l .7e city was illuminated. A supplement to the Journal de St. Petersburg,: contains a long official account of the taking of Rachova by General Baron Geismar. The General describes the resistance of the Turks as extremely obstinate, and their loss considerable. The cavalry alone, about 500 in number, escaped ; all the other Turkish troops engaged fell victims to their des perate resistance. Five pieces of cannon, six standards, and 165 prisoners were taken. Among the latter are the 400 ram forming the garrison of the citadel, which the Paella left, after defending himself some time, and surrendered at discretion. The Russians had three officers and 47 privates killed, and 11 officers and 175 privates wounded.— St. Petersburg': Papers, July 8. ROWLAND STEPHENSON. The accounts received yesterday from America relative to Stephenson, are singular. lie was greatly afraid to meet with Parkins, and when that unlucky creditor saw him, the following strange dialogue took place : " What the made you steal my Exchequer Bills ?" said Mr. Parkins.—" I never stole them, upon my honour;" said Stephenson, " it was Lloyd that purloined them." " Oh, it was Lloyd, was it ? What a lie ! What, you want to fib it off upon him, do you ?" cried Mr. Parkins.—" I do assure you, I never took them; Lloyd completely deceived me." "What the did you go to rob me for ?" said Parkins, " Why didn't you rob somebody else ?" Stephenson said he hoped all would be well yet, and he expressed a most anxious wish that Parkins would not take measures to compel his return to England." " Why," said Mr. Parkins, " tell me, have you attempted to make away with your life ?"—" Yes, indeed have 1," answered Stephenson. 44 Then," cried Mr. Parkins, " I shall not try to send you back ; stay where you are." Stephenson's eldest son, Mr. M'Donald Stephen son, has arrived in New York, and has a large packet for his father. The measures pursued against him have made him numerous friends, and as for Lloyd, he is quite a favourite in America.—Morn. Paper. By accounts from Tarbes (Upper Pyrenees), it appears that a young convict, named SAititArr, who, with six of his companions, was condemned at the last assizes for forgery, has poisoned himself and one of his as sociates, in order to escape the disgrace of being branded. SARRAT, who is respectably connected, died soon after he had swallowed the soup in which he had contrived to in fuse a quantity of arsenic, but his friend DUPUY, having partaken of it in a less degree, is expected to recover. The latter asserts his entire ignorance of SARRAT'S inten tion.--French Paper. FRICF.N OF srocks Tills BLk Stock 213 1231 n per Cent lied.... ..... StiN '", 'N , 3 per Cent.

(173 1111. • - LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JULY 21, 1829. The fall of Silistria was announced at Paris by telegraphic despatch from Strasbourg, to which place it was brought by express. This event is so important, that expresses, conveying the news, were despatched to several'quarters. A letter from Vienna says, two Pachas with three tails, 10,000 men, 250 pieces of cannon, and 204 standards, fell into the hands of the conquerors. The Emperor NICHOLAS is said to have ad dressed notes of a very amicable character, to all the Labinets of Europe, to satisfy them with respect to his intentions, and protesting that his whole wish is to conclude peace with Turkey. This was after receiving the news of the battle of the 11th of June. His tone may change with the fall of Silistria. The SULTAN begins to feel very uneasy at the occupation of Sizeboli by the Russians—a post which will become tenfold more important to them if General DIEBITSCH resolve upon marching to the plains of Adrianople, which we think highly probable. Silistria once secured, of what consequence is Shumla to the Russians, seeing that they have Varna and all the intermediate strong holds be tween that .ind the Danube ? Shumla is too strong for investment with any reasonable hope of success for four months at least, a period too long to waste upon a fortress, which, if cap tured, could he of no use till next campaign, and then only by facilitating the march of the conquerors upon Adrianople. Now it is clear that the Russians can cross the Balkan without approaching Shumla. They can do more. They can cut ofF all communication with Adrianople, and all places on that side of the Balkan—and on the other side, from where do the Turks expect assistance after the fail of Silistria and the in vestment of Rudsliuck ? The game is now entirely. in the hands of the Russians who, if they seri ously wish for peace ought to march at once upon Adrianople, and, striking terror into the SULTAN, put an end to the war. The opportu nity is doubly favourable, from the presence of the English and French Ambassadors at Con stantinople. General GEISMAR might concert with DIE BITSCII—march upon Sophia, and join him in the plains of Adrianople. The Turks have no force in the field at all able to prevent this bold demonstration, and they dare not hazard another battle. If they do, their certain defeat would open the road to Constantinople. The following are extracts from Hamburg and German Papers. The Porte, it is said, will not negotiate on the basis of the Protocol sign ed at London, so that the Ambassadors expect a great deal of trovlble from the obstinacy of the SULTAN. Meantime the Russian reserve of 30,000 men has received orders to join the army on the Danube, and General DIEBITSCII is preparing to cross the Balkan. That may bring the SULTAN to his senses : CONSTANTINOPLIZ, JUNE 22.—The Ambassadors of England and France have notyct had any formal conferences with the ileis Effendi, but have endeavoured, through a confidential channel, to come to an understanding with him respecting the objects of their mission. They are said to have learned by this means t'Aat the Porte will not nego ciate on the basis of the Protocol signed at London, and especially the article which requires the extension of the boundaries of Greece to the Gait* of N 010 and Arta : they accordingly expect to meet with great dif f iculties on their mission. The Sultan persists in the system which he has adopted. No recent accounts have bea n rece i ve d from Shumla. The Grand Vizier is collecting there as many troops as he can, and hopes to get 40,000 men together without weakening the garrisons. All men capable of bearing arms are now to march from the interior to the Balkan. The loss of the Turks in the battle on the 11th June was, according to their own account, very great. Ali Pacha is said to have fillen on that day. Meantime many persons flatter themselves that pe ace w ill soon be restored, and speak of deputies that were to be sent to the head-quarters. This report, however, is gene• rally looked upon as improbable. The Capit an P ac h a has not yet returned from his expedition into the Black Sea. BUCHAREST, JUNE 26.—The reerve, under G enera l Tolstoy. ha s received orders to join the army on the Danube. It consists of 30,000 men of all arms Gene ral Diebitsch is said to be prapring to pass the Balkan. VIENNA, JULY 9•—•3 l .talliques, 99; Bank Shares, 1,114. BRANDENBURG, JULY 11.—A commigaioo of the highest importance is reported to Lave been sntrusteti to General Baron Muffling, who is gone to Gastein, but whose ultimate destination is supposed to be Vienna, and Con stantinople. As fir as we ran harp, Prussia will inter vene with great energy, but at first only as mediator. The Cabinet Minister, Count Bernstoi ff, is also gone to Gastein. Couriers arrive daily from the theatre of war, but nothing positive transpires respecting these despatches. It is reported in general that the garrison Shumla has been very consderably reinforced since the battle of Kulawtscha. It is said that the Emperor of Russia, before he set out for Tulezyn, invited General Ruder, commander of the Ist Regiment of the Guards, to accompany him.

Gazettes to the 9th instant have been received, but their contents do not possess any articles of importance. A supple ment to the Paper of the Bth was published, containing a long official account of the capture of Rachova, by General GEISMAR, who makes hOnourable mention of the bravery of the Turks on that occasion. The horse, amounting to 500, alone escaped. The possession of Ra chova enables the Russians to cut off all com munication between Widdin and Rudschuck, and must facilitate the capture of that fortress and Giurgevo, should the troops from Silistria lay siege to them, which appears very probable. Indeed, we think that the capture of Rachova, coupled with the panic produced by the defeat of the G RAND VIZIER, considerably accelerated the fall of Silistria. Troops without provisions cannot hold out beyond a certain period ; and the forlorn certainty that they cannot receive any relief, only serves to impair the little resources within their power—the bitter knowledge that they struggle in vain, paralyses the stoutest hearts. We have accounts from Siberia, the American Colony on the African Coast, which state that the settlers were suffering severely from the fever of the coast, and considerable mortality existed. Among those who had fallen victims to the climate was Dr. RA NDA r, L, the Governor. The Colony otherwise was prosperous, and the traffic with the natives, of importance. The town con tained near one hundred houses, and others were daily erecting. It was well defended by a fort, mounting five pieces of cannon of large calibre, and was garrisoned by two companies of volun teers of thirty men each. Letters from Nice state that the olive crop wore a very unfavourable appearance. The ve getation has been very , active, hut the abundance of rain which has fallen in the Spring has caused much injury, and it was feared few of the olives would reach maturity. WAR BETWEEN AUSTRIA AND MOROCCO. The following is an extract of a letter received this morning, from the Agent to Lloyd's at Gibraltar, .dated July 4 " Yesterday the Austrian Consul sent to the different Consuls here circular copies of a despatch to him, signed by the commander of the Austt ian squadron here and the Envoy, Baron Mogen, notirying the cortmencement of hostilities against Morocco; reserving a right of blockad ing one or more ports in Barbary, claiming a right of search, and of seizing, and confiscating articles which are contraband of war, destined for the Army or the Navy of the enemy, but will not molest the regular trAde, and ac knowledges that the flag protects the goods." THE FUNDS.-(THIS DAY.) CITY, TtrELrE O'CLOCK. The Consol market has a more firm appearance this morning than yesterday, and opened at 891 for the account, the same price they left off at yes terday ; they may at present be quoted at 894- -a, and 894 ;for August. This rise is no doubt owing to a firm belief that negociations will soon take place in the East ; but accounts received this morning by the French Mail are rather of a contrary nature, as they write, from Constantinople of the 22d June, • that the Ambassadors of France and England had not, to that period, any formal conference with the Reis Effendi, but it appeared that they had learnt that the Porte would not negociate on the basis of the Protocol of London for the extension of Greece. Recent accounts were received from the Grand Vizier at Shumla, where he was assembling a force of 40,000 men, and all persons capable of bearing aims in the interior were immediately to proceed to the Balkan. It is stated that the loss in the battle of the 11th June was considerable to the Turks, both in men and artillery, and that Ali Pacha was among the dead. Another report states that an agent was sent to the Russian camp, which did not gain credit. The Capitan Pacha had not at the above date re turned from the Black Sea. They write from the territory of Moldavia of the 29th June, that the Pacha of Widdin made a re connoissance in the environs of Rachova, and had an engagement with a detachment of Russian cavalry, which were driven back to Rachova. Several ships laden with corn, coming from Belgrade, were burnt by the Russians with Congreve rockets. Letters have been received via Bordeaux, from Vera Cruz to the 24th May, and from Havannah to the 19th May, which state that tranquillity was nct perfectly restored at Mexico. The expedition des. tined against Mexico had not sailed from Havannah, but great efforts were making for its getting to sea. In the Foreign Market nothing doing. Three per Cent.

St CIAR.-The delivery of Plantation Sugats from the West India Docks last week was 2,818 Mids. and 107 tcs. ; but as nearly 11,000 casks were landed, the stock is increased to 36,383 Mids. and 2,695 tcs. There is but little demand this morning for British Plantation or foreign Sugars, hut there is en evident desire to do business by refiners and grocers, who arc still waiting fur rather lower prices. Prices as yet nominal. The CorrEE market shows some firmness ; the holders appear sanguine of advanced prices being retained. Reif.-The continued extensive arrivals of Rum, 3,500 puncheons having been loaded last week, renders the market flat, but on the whole it has a better appearance than for some weeks past. The delivery last week from the West India Docks was 691 puncheons, 321 of which were for exportation. The stuck yesterday was 21,124 puns. and 1,628. Idols. INDIGO SALE.—The SAC is expected to conclude to morrow, 4,550 chests having passed. The prices range at about the same average as before mentioned, v;z. Sd. to fid. on fine qualities, and 61. to 9d. on inferior samples lower than last sale. The sale is rather brisk this morning. In SetcEs there are some business doing at previous prices. RUSSIAN PRODUCE.—Our accounts from St. Peters burgh received by the Steam-boat, was favourable. Trade was more active, and the purchasers of produce for the British Markets considerable.

THE COTTON Tru A DE. —The extensive failure in Man chester has had comparatively but little effect on our mar ket, which continues exceedingly languid. Indeed, there are no extensive buyers, all waiting the result of the very large East Ldia Company's sale, which is now so near at hand. Other sales e announced to follow the Company's declaration, so that the real market quotations of Cotton will be ascertained. The mercantile letters from Calcutta to the 3d of Feb. mention that the demand for British chintz goods was pretty active among the natives. Our manufactures were extending themselves throughout the whole of India, but the large stocks on band and the continued importations kept prices low. The Indigo crop was expected to he under 95,00() maumls. The American hcis,,s were buy ing. Silk was in demand. Freights continued low. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S.

GREENWICH GRAND REGATTA. cat !. Yesterday, being the day appointed for tl:c Greenwich Reg Ata, in honour of his Majesty's Coronation, the Parade opposite the Hospital, the whole front of the town, the river, ti:e shipping, and, in fact, every spot where even a bird's eye view of the interesting scene on the Thames could he obtained, was thronged witl► spectators, amounting in number to several thousands, a considerable part of whom consisted of the most opulent inhabitants of Greenwich and its vicinity. The contest was between six young free water men of Greenwich, fir a new wherry and other prizes, given by the Ladies and Gentlemen of Greenwich, to be decided in five heats. Ti►e following were the men and their respective colours : Charles Anderson... Red Samuel Week P.... Pink John Bowen Orange John Fisher YI How Wiliam Chatter ... Green George Cook Sky Blue Anderson, Bowen, and Chatten, started from the Royal Hospital Stairs and rowed twice round (the rare extending the whole front of the town), for the first heat, which w a s won by Bowen end Anderson. Weeks, Fisher, and Cook contested the same dirt tore for the second heat, when Fisher and Weeks were dectated the winners. Anderson, Weeks, Cook, and Chatten, as second and third men in the two first heats, rowed for the third, which was decided in favour of Anderson and Weeks, Cook being third and Chime() last. Bowen and Anderson, as winners of the first, anti Fisher and Weeks, as winners of the second heat, contested for the fourth heat; and, after a good match between Weeks and Fisher, in rounding the boat off the Salutation Stairs, the men came in as follow: —Fisher, first; Weeks, second; Bowen, third; and Anderson, who did not row his distance, last. For the fifth and grand heat, Fisher and Weeks took their stations at half-past seven o'clock, and after a severe struggle. for the lead, Fisher came in before his antagonist by a considerable distance, Weeks nttimately taking it easy; after the above heat the men were towed past the town successively as they won their prizes. The following were the prizes :—First man, a new wherry, valued at 231. : second, cash N. ; third, 21. 10s.; fourth, 2/. ; fifth, 11. 10s. ; and the sixth 11. It appears by a letter from Dublin, that Prince EVEN, the Russian Atnhassador, on his visit to Ireland, was placed in a rather ludicrous 'state of embarrassment, in consequence of travelling under en assumed name. He took the very English name of Mr. ADAMS, and his com panion, a Mission officer of distinction, that of Mr. NE viLLE. On board of the packet it was noticed by the other passengers, that though they bore English names, they spoke with a foreign accent, and the circumstance con sequently being reported to the Custom-house officer on landing, the two travellers were asked for their passports, and subjected to an examination, the more embarrassing as it had never occurred to them to prepare themselves for such an emergency, and they were thrown consequently into a good deal of confusion by it. Oa stating whit their travelling names were, the officers remarked, that such names could hardly belong to foreigners, as they evidently were ; to which it was replied, that they had lived in Quebec, awl, front association with French re sidents, had lost, in some measure, the use of their native language; but this being received with an incredulous look by the examining officer, the Prince, alias " Mr. Anams," confessed they were foreigners, but attached to the Russian Embassy, therefore in no need of passports, and travelling for their amusement. This declaration was received with all due respect by the officer, who desisted from further enquiries, and wished the gentlemen an agree able journey. Their true rank was soon after butted about, and their persons recognised. When the Prince returned shortly after, to re-embark for England, a man, who met him on the pier, made him a low bow, and re marked, " Your Excellency has paid us but a short visit." The travellers afterwards enjoyed many a hearty laugh, without doubt, at the ludicrous novelty of their situation. FROAI LLOYD'S.

COURT OF CHANCERY. A CHANCERY BREEZE. When the Registrar called on the case of Wil ford v. Bulkely, Sir CHARLES WETHERELL stated that the minutes had been prepared, and he believed it was a ma tter of course that they should now be handed in to the Registrar, and that his Lordship should afterwards make his order. The SOLICITOR GENERAL could by no means as' sent to this. lie was prepared to proceed with the Sir CHARLES WETIIERELL said, if there was to be further argument, the thing would have to stand over, for he bad no idea of any such course being thought of. Mr. HORNE, on the same side, observed, that it stood in the paper to-day for further directions; and no one could have supposed, from what had p a ssed a day or two ago, that there was now to be a nett argument. The SOLICITOR GENERAL—Why was this n ot mentioned to me? Do you mean to say that you ever made such a statement to me? Mr. llousE—l made such a statement neither !0 you nor any one else; but it was mentioned In Court that the miritnes were to be prepared by the Juniors, and that the case was to come on to-dal for further directions as a matter of course. The SOLICITOR GENERAL—I beg your pardon- - I cannot allow any such thing passed or was under ' stood, otherwise I should have treated such a pro' position with the disrespect it merited. The LORD - CHANCELLOR—WiII you permit me-- S r CHARLES WETHERELL—Then there was a misunderstanding. The SOLICITOR GENERAL--N ot on our part. I have read my brief, and it's impossible for any Counsel to get through his business, if day after day he reads his papers in cases that he is told are to come on on certain days, and that when they are called, he is to be informed they must stand over, and others to be taken, in which he has not looked at a line in his briefs. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Win you allow ate to sta!e--- Sir CHARLES WETHERELL—I am not ready I° go on with another argument. The SOLICITOR GENERAL— But why are you not? The LORD CHANCELLOR (elevat►ng his voice coo' siderably)— You are addressing each other—not met and so unruly, that I really don't know what yOO are contending about. My impression was this, at the close of the arguments I refused a new trial, and was about to dispose of the case on further di rections, but it was suggested there were some ficulties in the way, and therefore it would be b et ter to postpone it to another day. It is now conse quently regularly in the paper for further directions• The SOLICITOR GENERAL —Well then, it is inr possible for me to get through my cases, unless I am permitted to go on when I have read my briefs, and the cases are regularly in the paper. The LORD CHANCELLOR—WeII Mr. Horne, aro you ready to proceed ? Mr. HoRNE—My Lord, I did not lead the case• The LORD CHANCELLOR—Are you ready, Sir Chas. Wetherell ? Sir CHARLES WETHERELL—I am not ready. I had not the slightest conception there was to be s new argument. The LORD CHANCELLOR—What is the difficulty ? Sir CHARLES WETHERELL.--I really do not know'• The LORD CHANCELLOR—Whet are the difficul' ties on the further directions Mr. Solicitor General? Tue SOLICITOR GENERAL—The whole question, both in I.lw and equity is to be considered. Sir CHARLES WETIIERELL—I will new, the, tell your Lordship what the difficulty is—that there is to be a re-argument of the whole of what yod have already decided. •I'lie SOLICITOR GENERAL—There is to he no SOCh thing on my parr, and you have no right to say so• If the case is not to go on now it will be harder oo me than on any body else. Sir CHARLES WETHERELLHOW can that be ? Mr. HORNE—It will be no harder on you than on others. The SOLICITOR GENERAL: Yes, it will. The LORD CHANCELLOR—WeII, if it stands 07Tr it must be as a matter of personal convenience to Counsel. The SOLICITOR GENERAL-4 entirely agree with that, hut I have a right to call on them to go on. Mr. HORNE—A right to call on us ! Sir CHARLES WETHERELL—Mr. SOlicitor-Gene ral, you have no more right at this bar than other persons. Right imports authority, and what autho rity have you over us, I beg to know ? The SOLICITOR GENERAL—None on earth. Sir CHARLES WETHERELL—SO I say. The SOLICITOR GENERAL—And I never assumed. ally._ The LORD CHANCELLOR—The case being me' larly in the paper, the Solicitor General means that it will be regular now to proceed with it; but where it is inconvenient to Counsel to proceed with a cage regularly in the paper, it is not unusual for that case to stand over. The SmAccroß GENERAL—Certainly not. But this ease was adjourned at their own request, and now that we are ready, they wo'nt proceed with it. No person is more willing than I am to yield to the convenience of Counsel. The LORD CHANCELLOR—WeII, as a matter of accommodation, let it be postponed till to-morrow. Mr. IJoßNE—Personal accommodation is all We put it upon. The SOLICITOR GENERAL—That accommoda tion has been asked in rather a singular tone. Ml'. HORNE—I can only say it was refused in a much more singular and unusual a tone. Tl.ie SOLICITOR GENERAL—Then I can more von it was not meant to be so. Mr. HoßNE—That might be. SANDFORD V. IRBY.
