MORISON have much pleasure in placing before the Public the following extract of Dr. ELLIOTSON'S ORATION on the MEMORY of the immortal HARVEY, taken from the "Times" of Monday, the 29th ultimo:— " Then, it was that Harvey, like many other discoverers, met with determined opposition from his jealous brethren, who would not examine for themselves, but stigmatised him as a foul ; and the world, thinking that the, doctors were quite able to judge philosophi cally, agreed with them, .and did not consu lt hi m as before. Hi s friend, Aubrey , states, in a manuscript preserved in the Royal Society, ' He told me, himself, that upon his publishing that book he fell in his practise extremely, and was lampooned from one end of Europe to the other, which induced him to retire into the country, where Dr. Ent, visiting him in his extreme old age, found him cheerful and still investigating nature, but resolved to b es * ow noth i ng more upon an ungrateful profession. Do you wish me,' said Harvey, smiling,' to leave this tranquil harbour axis trust myself again hatine fruits faithless ocean? You know w hat s t orms my former observations ex cited; it is better to study nature in privacy thn pu of hard toil. to stir up tempests which destroy all our peace and hap piness for the future.' He yielded, however, to the arguments of his friend, and gave to the world another treasure, the results of his litluizies oz. Cxeneruton.

The engineering and other evidence, on the part of the promoters, occupied the Committee up till half-past five o'clock, at which hour they rose, and adjourned till to morrow. Room B. CALEDONIAN (GLASGOW TERMINI AND BRANCHES). Their Lordships met as usual at eleven o'clock this morn ing, Lord Bathurst in the 'chair. The members were all present at the commencement of the case, but Lords Col chester and Stratford were the only members (except the Noble Chairman) who remained in the room. Mr. Errington, whose examination was not concluded yesterday, was recalled and gave evidence in continuation. He was cross- examined by Mr. Hildyard and by Mr. Swift, who appeared for the heritors of a church in Burchar-street, Glasgow, who petitioned nowt the Bill on the ground that the liue passes witLin_a4fit , i 7 feet o‘the church, having its station at the -nposit-,, 1,411 e of thf: streeti and also on the ground that 4 .l passee butt...ging" tO them. Mr. AUSTIN objected to Mr. Swift's appearance on the former ground ; and in the middle of that Gentleman's reply said—" Oh, the question has been decided two or three days ago." The Committee then proceeded with the GLASGOW TERMINI AND BRANCHES. Mr. Swirr—Oh, my Learned Friend Mr. Austin always says that everything has been "settled a few days ago." Mr. AUSTIN—Mr. Swift, I tell you the point has been settled a few days ago, with a reference to the opinion of Lord Shaftebury. The CHAIRMAN—I think it will cost more time to hear the argument than to admit the locus stundi. kr. Austin accordingly gave way. Mr. Erringum's examination and cross-examination being concluded, several other witnesses were called and examined, who gave evidence in support of that given yesterday, on general points. The case for the promoters of the Bill occupied their Lord ships the whole day, and was not concluded when they rose (at four c,'cloa•k). They adjourned till to-morrow at eleven. Boon C. AXIACKBITRN, CLITHE&OE, AND NORTH WESTERN JUNCTION. FLEETWOOD, PRESTON, AND WEST RIDING. Their Lordships met again at eleven o'clock this morning, Lord Devon in the chair. ___ _ The case of the Blackburn, Clitheroe, and North Western Junction was proceeded with. Their Lordships were occupied the greater part of the morning with a discussion as to the propriety of inserting a clause, proposed by the opposing company, as to the nature in which the junction should be formed. The Committee ( after clearing the room on this point) refused to admit this clause, but expressed their decided opinion that a clause ta render the junction more convenient ought to be inserted. They would leave it to the engineers and surveyors of the companies to arrange the matter between them. They were determined upon inserting a clause. °Several witnesses were then called, and gave evidence in corroboration of that given yesterday, which was reported with sufficient fulness in The Sun. The case for the promoters being concluded, that for the opponents was proceeded with ; atter which the Committee passed the preamble of the Bill. The consideration of the clauses was postponed on account of the lateness of the hour, and the Committee rose at four o'clock, and adjourned till to• morrow, when they will hear the case for the promoters of the Fleetwood, Preston, and West Riding Junction. Room 5. BUCKINGHAMSHIRE (TILING TO BAN BURY). The Committee on the above Bill met, to take into con sideration the points on which it had been re-committed, in Room 5 (Committee•rooms in Abingdon-street). Lord Stanley took the chair as usual. There was no opposition; and, after the adjustment of some of the clauses, the Committee passed the Bill in its amended form, and then rose finally. HOUSE OF COMMONS. GROUP XVII. IMPORTANT DECISION. MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON AND SOUTH-WESTERN (ROMSEY AND RED BRIDGE BRANCH). The Committee met this morning shortly after twelve o'clock ; present, the Hon. E. Yorke, the Hon. Mr. Tollemache, Sir Walter James, Mr. Brocklehurst, and Mr. Kerr. The CHAIRMAN ordered the room to be cleared, and the Committee remained in deliberation until a quarter past three o'clock, when the parties and the public were admitted. The CHAIRMAN said the Committee have to announce to the parties, that the preamble of the Romsey and Redbridge Brunch is not proved, and that the preamble of the Man chester and Southampton Bill is proved. Butthe Committee insist on the insertion of a clause, providing that the line between Romsey and Redbridge shall be common to both the South-Western and the Manchester and Southampton Company, with equal participation in the advantages result ing from the station at Romsey and the line south of Rom sey, and the use of the terminus of the Manchester and Southampton line and the tramways along the quays to the di,clo. The Committee then proceeded to go through the clauses of the Bill. GROUP XXXIII. The Committee upon thisgroni) re-assembled at half-past one o'clock this day, in Room No. 24 (Grand Corridor), Sir K. Ferguson in the chair, for the re-committal of the BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION Bill ; pursuant to a resolution of the. House yesterday. The clauses for which the Bill had been re-committed were under consideration the whole of the morning. The Committee did not think it expedient to go into the question of the tolls of the Great Western Railway, but in serted special clauses in the Bill to provide for a revisio❑ of the tolls in the event of an amalgamation being carried into effect. In the case of the other Bill, the OXFORD AND BIRMINGHAM JUNCTION (BIRMINGHAM EXTENSION). The Committee came to the same decision, and then separated. GROUP LXI. The Committee met to-day, at twelve o'clock, in Room No. 26 (Grand Corridor), Sir John Duckworth in the chair, and proceeded with the consideration of the EDINBURGH AND GLASGOW UNION CANAL. The preamble of this Bill having been agreed to yester day, the Committee was occupied the whole of the morning in going through the clauses. The clauses were not all gone through at half-past three o'clock, when the Committee postponed the further considera tion till to-morrow, and ,roceeded with the evidence re specting the other Canal-Railway Bill in the group—namely, the GLASGOW, PAISLEY, AND JOHNSTONE CANAL SALE. The hearing of this evidence occupied the remainder of the sitting. It pertained merely to the great depreciation of the canal property by railway competition. GROUP LXIII. The Committee met this morning at twelve o'clock, Mr. Tatton Egerton in the chair, to go through the clauses of the NEWRY, VIARRENPOIZqT, AND ',I2OSSTREVOR Bill. Considerable opposition was offered to the line by Mr. Hall, across whose pleasure -grounds the line is partially to pass. Several witnesses he rewe called to show the injury the propriety that would be done to prorty, and of putting in a clause compelling the company to deviate so as to save Mr. Hall's grounds by encroaching on the Newry river. It was brought out, in evidence, that Mr. Hall had promoted a line almost similar to the present in 1836. The room was now ordered to be cleared. The CaAIuMAN informed parties, on their re-admission, that the Committee had rejected the clause tendered by Mr. Lowndes, counsel for Mr. Hall. The y thought the company should be bound to construct the Parliamentary line, and were of opinion, that persons placed as Mr. Hall was, should be handsom el y com p ens ated by the company. Other clauses were then read, and after some amendments agreed to. This closed the labours of the Committee. STANDING ORDERS' COMMITTEES. HOUSE 4_;F LORDS. Their Lordships met, at twelve o'clock, in Room 1 (House of Lords), Lord Shaftesbury in the chair, and present, Lords Redesdaie, Winchester, and Hawarden. There were but three Bills on the list, each of which had been adjourned trout yesterday. LONDON AND BIRMINGITANI (COVENTRY TO N UN EATON). Their Lordships having heard the remaining evidence, de cided that the promoters of this Bill had proved compliance with the standing o rders. NORTH WALES. The Committee maie a similar decision in this cam COVENTRY, NUNEATON. BIRMINGHAM, AND LEICESTER. Compliance with the standing orders was also proved in this case. At one O'clock their Lordships resolved themselves into a SELECT COMMMIT FEE ON MERITS, in which capacity they proceeded with the turther hearing of Doctor 15.1.siFarlane's (Glasgow c o liege) Estate Bill, which bad repeatedly b e es adjourned from day to day, each SUN, time engrossing a lion's share of the Committee's time and attention. It was the only Bill on the list. Their Lordships, having been occupied ever since one o'clock with HlcFarlane's Estate Bill, rose shortly before six, and adjourned till to-morrow.

Yesterday afternoon one of the most terrific andawful thunder storms ever remembered, accompanied with hail, visited Pen rith and its neighbourhood. The morning was fine and clear, the sun shining brightly, and scarcely a cloud was visible to dim the horizon. Soon after noon the air became quite sul try and overpowering, and thunder was occasionally heard at a distance. Abotit three o'clock the sky suddenly became dark and lowering, and the clouds might be seen moving through the air in different directions at a rapid rate. About four o'clock daylight was almost shut out by the sudden darken ing and overhanging clouds, and about this time an awful clap of thunder was newel, accompanied with lightning, and atter a short interval one of the most severe and tremendous bail chewers commenced that was ever witnessed by the oldest inhabitant living in the neighbourhood, and continued with unabated fury for upwards of half an hour ; the hail. stones were the largest ever seen, being about the size of a common Spanish nut ; and the streets were covered with them for some time, until the rain fell in torrents. During the continuance of this severe bail-storm the thunder raged in one continuous and awful roll, no interval between each peal intervening ; and the air seemed literally in one electric flame of fire, flash suc ceeding flash without any intermission during the con tinuance of the storm. The fury of the tempest did not last above an hour, but during that time most of the streets of Peurith were sheets of water, and the dwelling houses in low situations were mostly inundated. We have not as yet heard of any damage done by the lightning, but a considerable number of skylignts and windows in exposed situations have been broken by the force and size of the hail stones, and nearly all the glass frames in the gardens of the neighbourhood have been destroyed or damaged by the seve rity of the storm. It is supposed that great damage will have been done to the standing; crops in the country by the hail. storm; but as yet we have not heard the particulars. It is only about a week since the mountains overhanging Keswick were covered with snow, which seems very extra ordinary at this season of the year. JULY 9, 1846. PRICE SD. THE CHANNEL SQUADRON. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—A friend has favoured us with the following extract of a private letter, dated July 3, from one of the ships of the squadron : " On the 24th of June the Queen, Canopus, and Superb tried rate of sailing under single-reefed topsails and topgal lant sails, with a strong breeze and moderate sea. The Queen was beaten in three hours about two miles and a half by Su perb ; the Canopus beat Superb about two ships' length to windward. " On the 25th Vanguard, Canopus, and Raleigh started to try rate of sailing, the two former under single-reefed top sails and topgallant sails, the latter under double-reefed-top sails and topgallant sails, being unable to carry single-reefed topsails. In about an hour after starting Raleigh carried away her foretopsail yard, and was in consequence entirely out of the race. During the hour, however, before the acci dent, she appeared to forereach on her two competitors, and might have beaten them. At the expiration of four hours, Vanguard beat Canopus 500 yards to windward. Vanguard much stiffer than either of -her competitors. Raleigh the most crank; twenty tons of extra ballast would, perhaps, remedy this defect. " On the 26th the steamers were ordered to fire three rounds blank cartridge. The Avenger and Gladiator fired only four guns each. The Retribution was the only vessel that fired the whole number. "On the 30th the steamers were ordered to try rate of steaming. At 10 A.m. the Retribution, Gladiator, and Aven ger started, full power, with a strong breeze six points on port bow. In two hours the Retribution gained on Gladia tor 1 miles; on Avenger three miles. At noon altered course to wind on port beam, and tried until 4 P.M.— at each successive step of expansion gear—during the whole of this time the relative distances were perceived as near as possible as during the trial from 10 to 12. At four, being about seven or eight miles dead:to leeward of the Admiral, the signal was made to prepare to steam to windward. Topmasts were in consequence struck, and everything got ready to join the ships to windward. At about 4.30 they started abreast. Retribution soon got the lead, although Gladiator stuck very close for a few minutes; but once clear of her, she soon shot ahead, beating her in the run about two miles, and Avenger four miles. " Gladiator and Avenger were each working up to 10lb. the square inch,having tubular boilers; Retribution can only work up to 61b., having the old common boilers. "July I.—The Terrible having joined the fleet during the previous night, a signal was made to try rate of steaming with her. They accordingly started at about ten . A.M., with full power, the Terrible, with h er t u b u l ar b o il ers , wor ki ng up to 1311;. the square inch, and after steaming dead to windward, with a strong breeze and heavy head-swell for three hours, she beat Retribution as near as possible half a mile an hour. Unquestionably she is a noble ship; but, nevertheless, I am inclined to believe she beat Retribution principally by the great command of steam generated by tubular boilers. Had both shipi been fitted with similar boilers, probably the result would have been different. One thing by this trial appears to be clearly settled—that where two ships of similar tonnage, or nearly so, and equal horse power, but fitted with tubular an d common boilers, are matched, the former must have the advantage in speed over the latter. This was very evident in the trial the day before with Gladiator, for with Retribution's immense en gines of 800 horse power, over Gladiator's 450, the former certainly ought to have beat her double the distance, had they both been fitted with similarly constructed boilers. At one r.m. a signal was made to the Terrible to steam with 61b. pressure only. At first Retribution gained rapidly on her, but as soon as this was perceived on board she shot ahead again. In short, this trial is not worth relating, it being almost impossible to keep steam at any exact pressure. A few shovelsful of coal, or slightest alteration of throttle valve, more or less, will always cause an alteration. In the evening they both banked the fires. "July 2, at 9 A. 111., we tried rate of sailing on a wind, star board tack. Terrible, under all plain sail ; Retribution, with single-reefed topsails. At 11, the wind falling light, Retri bution shook out first reefs. At 1•30 P.M., Retribution being about one mile ahead. tacked. At 3, having weathered on her opponent about three-quarters of a mile, bore up and set port studding sails. Ran until sunset without any difference of sailing; then lighted the fires of two boilers and steamed all night. Terrible gained two miles all night. Arrived at Cove this evening, July 3, at 7 r.m. Found the squadron lying here."—Times. (From the Cork Reporter of Saturday.) This noble fleet arrived in our harbour yesterday, and now is anchored in line at the man-of-war roads, presenting as splendid and imposing a spectacle as can well be imagined. The first which appeared at the harbour's mouth yesterday morning was the St. Vincent, bearing the flag of Commodore Collier, which, on entering, saluted the flag of Rear-Admiral Sir H. Pigott in the usual form. The other ships of the squadron continued to come in during the day, and the fleet, when all are anchored in Cove harbour, will consist of four three-deckers, five two-deckers, three frigates, and five steamers, embracing a force of 17 men-of-war, with 1,020 guns and 11,400 men. They are as follow: Three Deckers—Queen, St. Vincent, Trafalgar. Two Deckers—Albion, Canopus, Superb, Rodney, Van guard. - Frigates—Raleigh, Constance, Brilliant. Steamers— Retribution, Gladiator, Avenger, Scourge, Rattler. It is anderstoodthey will remain for a ;Night or three weeks, several repairs having to be done, and i€' is also confidently asserted that they will be ,laid in Cove harbour. We have been favoured by a nautieti friend •with the following notice of the arrival of the squadron land of their movements since they werelast in the harbour :—_ _ " Cove, July 3, 1846. " About ten, A.M., the Squadron of Evolution, after a cruise of three weeks, between the Land's-end and Cape Clear, were seen entering this harbour in the following order : " Her Majesty's ship St. Vincent, Commodore Sir F. Col lier, under all plain sail to royals. " Queen, Commodore Sir 'Gordon Bremer, under topsails and topgallant sails, taking up station abreast of the St. Vincent. " Brilliant, fore and plain topgallant studding sails set. " Vanguard, under topsails, anchoring ahead of St. Vin cent. " Next came the little schooner yacht Kestrel, Right Hon. the Earl of Yarborough, which accompanied the squadron from Cove, and has continued in company during the cruise. " Rodney, under topsails, taking station ahead of the Queen. " Canopus, under the same sail, made her appearance 20 minutes after, and anchored ahead of Vanguard. " Superb, under topsails, followed, and came to windward of Rodney. " At 11 15 her Majesty's ship Avenger also arrived." Since our last report of the movements of the fleet a good trial under steam took place between the latter-named vessel, Gladiator, and Retribution, against a heavy head sea, in which trial the Retribution had the advantage completely, The Avenger, all in all, and next to the Rattler, was con sidered to be the most perfect steamer afloat. When, therefore, she joined in this trial and could only keep pas last of the whole, much surprise was expressed at tilig her failure in her speed, in comparison with others in 'a heavy sea. Several vessels are yet to make their appearance, having been lost sight of in the fog. OPERATIONS DURING THE CRUISE. After leaving Cove it was believed that Sir William Parker in the Hibernia was on his way to take command of the fleet, but he did not since fall in with them. A more active and experienced commander could not be found among the flag-officers of the day. His services in 1839-40 at the Admiralty, afterwards in China, where he gained honours, and won imperishable laurels, all speak of this judicious selection. We look forward, if these reports are true, to hear of some creditable manoeuvres in gunnery and naval tactics, which will add a further store of information to that already in possession of the Admiralty, and aid in their conclusions those persevering and energetic individuals who have devoted their lives to the study of British naval architecture. These are the means : ships well stored and provisioned (we wish it could be said well manned), proudly floating in the unfathomable waters of the Atlantic, ready at the will of some skilful commander to be guided as experience might best dictate, for the nation's good. June 11.—Weighed and proceeded out of Cove harbour, hove to ; Trafalgar and Belleisle parted company. 12th.—standing to the southward. 13th.—Wind variable. 4 P.M. her Majesty's sloop of war Fly hove in sight on her way to England to be paid off; communicated with her, and supplied the captain and offi cers with some live stock. The general liberality of the officers in most of the ships is deservingof remark, all having sent, unasked, more or less in the shape of fowls, fresh beef, wine, &c. Indeed it was considered, that instead of being a supply for the captain of the F ly and his officers, enough was handed on board to supply the whole ship's company. Same evening, towards midnight, exercised at general quar ters, firing three rounds of blank cartridge, Brilliant first. 14th.—Standing to the south-west. SP. m. —Glad iat or made her number. 8 r.m. Gladiator and Scourge parted company. 15th.—Squadron took up her position and laid out targets for exercise with shot, 150 miles south-west of Scilly. Sir Gordon Bremer and captains of particular ships visited Com modore Collier on board St. Vincent. 16th.—Her Majesty's ship Canopus joined the squadron from Spithead, having on board supernumeraries for the Hibernia, lat. 48 deg. 40 min., long. 10 deg. 10 min. 18th.—Light variable airs. Exercised firing at targets. 19th.—Gladiator and Scourge rejoined. 20th.—Light breezes; standing to the south-west. 21st.—Retribution joined; 185 miles south-west of Sc illy. 22d.—Moderate breeze from the north-west. Vanguard, Canopus, and Raleigh tried rate of sailing on a wind under single reefed topsails and topgallant sails. After a trial of four hours the Canopus weathered the Vanguard ; Queen asked permission, atter nearly two ho urs had 1, to join. She was observed to settle consider..l4y to windward during Cie last hour of the trial, though the former head -reached. Raleigh, having split foretopsail, was done for this trial. 23d.—A strong breeze sprang up from the southward. 24th.—Avenger steamer joined company from Plymouth, bringing letters for the fleet. 25th.—Strong breeze. St. Vincent, Queen, and Raleigh shifted topsails and reefed ; in doing which the Queen had a man killed by falling from the mizen-top on the poop. 26th.—Squadron formed in line of battle under topsails and canvas. Took stations in two columns as before ; squadron standing to the southward. 27 th. —Standing to the northward and eastward. ELECTRIC TELEGRAPIL—Instances are constantly occurring which demonstrate the utility of the electric telegraphs. On Friday last a gentleman with his family went to the station at Nottingham, and took tickets for the half•past four o'clock train ; he offered in payment a 5/. Brighton bank note, which Mr. Pettifer, a most active and intelligent assistant to the station-master, at first felt a little besi'ation in taking, on account of the bank being distant from Nottingham; but at length he took it, and, being in haste. as many persons were waiting for tickets, he gave the gentleman 1/. is. 6d. in change, instead of 7s. 6d. In half an hour after the train had started he discovered the mistake he had made, and instantly telegraphed to Derby, requesting they would by telegraph inform the station -master at Rugby of what had occurred. This direction was attended to, and in three minutes after the arrival of the train at Rugby, which was due there at five minutes to seven, the news had reached Nottingham that the sovereign had been received by Mr. Pigou at Rugby, and it was returned to Nottingham the next morning. Colonel Sir William Robert Clayton, Bart., has left town for Buckingham, to attend the assizes as High Shea'. TINDAL. (From the Times.) The earthly career of the late Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas has been terminated rather suddenly. About ten days ago he attended the hearing of an Irish appeal in the House of Lords—" Sheehy v. Lord Muskerry. On leaving the House he complained of excessive beat, and ap peared to be almost fainting. He was, within a few hours, seized with paralysis of the left leg, extending, as we under stand, to the hip joint ; and, after the lapse of two or three days, his medical adviser recommended him to procevd to the seaside. Without delay he repaired to Folkestone,. accom panied by his son, Captain Tindal ; but there he ma: sappily experienced a renewal of his alarming malady. 8, weral members of his family were summoned, though little more than in time to witness his dissolution. He expired on Ilteron day evening at half-past seven o'clock, to the inexpressi,hle grief of his family and numerous friencis,as well asto the grew t regret of the public at large—for he was one of the most popular as well as the most eminent judges that ever adorned the bench of justice. Sir Nicolas Cenyngham Tindal was in the 70th 'year of his age, having been born in 1776. There was, however, a general impression that his birth took place some years earlier than that date, for, though hale and vigorous, he seemec,' to be rather older than threescore-aed-ten. It is also generally supposed that he was a native of Buckinghamshire; but .of this there can he no doubt, that he is descended ;from an olel Essex family, and that his father, Robert Tindal, who was le solicitor, resided for many years, if not the whole of his life, at Chelmsford, in Essex. There is a Mr. Tindal, brother to the late Chief Justice, who practises as a solicitor in Ayles bury, but we have every reason to believe that the subject of this notice was born at Chelmsford. After the usual course of school education, he entered at Trinity College, Cambridge, in the year 1795, and 'l7 ith n four years of that period—in 1799—he took the degree ofek.B., and that of A.M. in 1802. In the former year he was eighth wrangler and senior Chancellor's medallist. In the !moth of October, 1801, lie was elected a fellow of his college, eind held the fel lowship for eight years. Immediately afte.:r taking hia Masters degree, he became a student of Linco i l'l Inn, by which society he was eventually called to the Or. His connexion with Lincoln's Inn probably gave rise to the' com mon error that he had been a Chancery barrister; bus, on the contrary, his practic e w as li m tt e d to th e common lalj courts. Shortly after his admission to Lincoln's Inn, he en tered upon practice with very considerable success as a spe cial pleader, and Lord Brougham stated yesterday that he had been among the number of his pupils. There can be no questien that a young law student could hardly have chosen a safer guide, for a man more thoroughly learned than Mr. Tindal even then was, in every department of the law, could scarcely be found within the range of the profession, and he was especially celebrated for what id called " black letter learning." His high reputation brought him so many clients that at a very early age he thought it safe to go to the bar, and accordingly we find that he wale called in Trinity Term, 1809. In the same year he married the youngest daughterof the late Captain Thomas Symonds, , R.N., and of ceurse resigned his fellowship. A numerous - family were the issue of this marriage, but the irife of Sir Nicolas Tindal died many years awo. Inif the Court of King's Bench, and on the Sorthern Circuit, every' year brouoht Mr. Tindal additional reputation as a lawyer, hut very little fame as an advocate. He was never at a loss for a case; he could always expound a principle; he could give the history of any statute, and with great perspicuity set forth its provisions; he could argue any point, however apparently hopeless, and impeach .the validity of any legal document, however apparently sound; but a knavish witness could elude his examination, and an apathetic jury were never warmed by his eloquence yet he had what the pro fession calls a " capital business ;" and a large income re warded his learning, his industry, and his high reasoning faculties. The natural process I.;Y which lawyers seek ad vancement in their profession is to get into Parliament. Mr. Tindal, however, enjoyed a distingnished opportunity of ap pearing before one House of Parliament long before his elec tion as a Member of the other. A Bill of pains and penalties was preferred against the Queen of George IV., and in one of the most extraordinary proceedings that our history records Mr. Tindal was called upon to bear his part. He, conjointly with several others, was counsel for the Queen. How far his astuteness and knowledge rendered him ars efficient assistant to her Majesty's Attorney-General was a matter not very apparent at that period. That he was capable of giving valuable hints to his more showy brethren, Lords Brougham and Denman, there can be no doubt, but his oratory was not of the order to neutralise the dazzling in genuity of Copley, or to cope with the wily manoeuvres of a cloud of Italian witnesses. Hence, though he enjoyed the honour of being a Queen's advocate, he obtained with the public little additional reputation from his share in this ex traordinary inquiry. We now follow him to the House of Commons, to which assembly in the year 1824 he was re turned by the Wigton district of burghs; and here also we can say but little for his qualifications as a public speaker. His manner was cold, dry, and unimpressive; his political and historical knowledge displayed itself to small ad vantage ; it bore upon few questions, and not even upon those with much power. One would have expected that his talents and learning as a lawyer muse have often enabled him to enlighten the House on legal difficulties, but yet he had not a popular mode of dis cussing even questions of law. Nevertheless, a better man for the office of Solicitor-General could not be found amongst the Tory lawyers in the month of September, 1826, when Sir C. Wetherell became Attorney-General, in censequeticee of the elevation of Sir John Copley, afterwards Lord Lynd hurst, to the Mastership of the Ilolls.e At this time Mr. Tindal became Sir Nicolas, but he still remained without any very material increase of professional fame, nor was he called upon during his tenure of office to assist in any im portant prosecution on behalf of the Crown. Sir J. Copley, who had represekted the University 'of Cambridge, became Lord Chancellor in'tke year 1827,°thiripg the Canning Ad ministration ; thereupon a vacancy Occurred in the repre sentation of that constituency, and Sir Nicolas Tindal soli cited its suffrages. Mr. William John Bankes, though also a Tory, went down to Cambridge to oppose him ; the result of the polling was, 479 .for Sir Nicholes , Tindal, and 378 for Mr. Bankes ellel had been choseri for Harwich at the general election in 1826, biit of course readily _ withdrew from 'that borough to e enjey the honour representing alma mater. Eventually, however, he became perfectly satisfied with two years' possession of this much.. envied distinction. Gout, irritability, and Sir Thomas Wilde, combined their united virulence to drive poor Lord Wynford almost beside himself. The chief seat in the Common Pleas therefore became vacant, and a prize within the grasp of the Solicitor-General. Sir Robert Peel repre sented Oxford, Sir Nicolas Tindal Cambridge ; the one wa s leading Minister in the Lower House, and the other second law officer of the Crown ; the one proposed Catholic emanci pation, the other supported it ; the one retained his place in the Cabinet and lost his seat for Oxford ; the Member for Cambridge gave up his seat for that University, but obtained a seat upon the bench ; and in the month of June, 1829, became Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, which position he occupied during the long period of 17 years, al though, under the 6th of George IV., cap. 83, he might, at the end of 15 years, have claimed exoneration from the toils of that high station. Death, however, has at length de prived him of its honours and relieved him of its labours. Sir Thomas Wilde will soon occupy the situation which he filled on the bench, although few men are qualified to supply the place which he held in the public esteem. If he had any faults, he certainly possessed many most shining qualities as a judge. Gentlemen of the bar who practise in a given court may never be able to agree amongst each other. or with the public, respecting the merits of any judge who occupies a seat on the bench of that court; still less can they be brought to anything like an admission that any judge at any time was ever wholly faultless. The public, however, are not remarkable for such nice discrimi nation; but, with less knowledge and far less fastidious ness, they pronounce an unqualified opinion, either to the great discredit or the infinite honour of the personage who may at the time have become the subject of their notice. As to the merits of Chief Justice Tindal the bar maybe divided, but the public are unanimous. They looked at his " sum mings-up" as among the most masterly exhibitions of judicial sagacity, and they regarded his calm, thoughtful, and tranquil inflexibility as the impersonation of British jus tice. They admired the vigour and promptitude with which he would cast the light of a clear and searching intellect upon some vast accumulation of minute facts, inferences, and ex positions,—how he would track out a plain and palpable path amidst some labyrinth of contradictory evidences. The world viewed with admiration the manner in which he threw aside the sophistries and disentangled the forensic perplexie ties with which cases are sometimes enveloped,—how he dis sipated the obscurities, lopped off the irrelevancies, curtailed the redundancies which had been imported into the cause by the weak or wily advocate, and, finally, how he reduced the real point in dispute to its strict and indisputable merits.

WHAT CONSTITUTES A DOCTOR ?—A bastardy case was brought before the magistrates at the Town Hall, on Thursday, the putative father being what was called a doctor. The magistrates, in the absence of the "doctor," seemed to have some doubt whether he had claims to the title or not, and to ascertain the fact, probably in order to guide them in the amount of the order, they required some explanation on this mysterious subject. A witness on being questioned on the matter, gave the following enlightened in formation. Mr. Birley having asked him whether he was a doctor or not, the witness replied, "He is."
