ATTORNIES AND SOLICITORS. We feel no slight gratification in finding that the efforts which have been made, through the medium of Tull SUN, to draw the attention of the regular Practitioners of the Law to a subject of great importance, have excited particular notice among all ranks of the Legal Profession, and are likely to be materially instrumental in clearing it from the intrusion of artful and ignorant Em pirics, who abound in that as well as in the Medical Profession. Mr. ANDERTON, of the Temple, took the lead on this laudable occasion, and to hint therefore the regular Members arc not a little indebted. The labours of those of our Corre;• spondents also, who have so ably discussed the merits and detects of the INSOLVENT DEiSTORS' ACT, in the application of which great abuses have prevailed, in consequence of the arts of mer cenary, ignorant, and flagitious Intruders, have al,o drawn particular attention to our Paper.--;- Among these, Mr. Mt&cors;, of the Temple, has ingenuously annexed his name to productions on this subject which do bailout to his character, morally, as well as in point of sagacity and legat knowledge. We therefore insert with pleasure the following account of a Meeting that took place yesterday at SEARLE'S Coffee-house, at %Lich several respectable Gentlemen who prac tise AS ATTORN?ES and SOLICITORS in this Me- tropolis tvere present. The Meeting was held for the purpose of forming a Society, or rather to form into a Society the whole Profession, into which every regularly admitted Attorney will be eligible, and by which the general interest of the whole body, and the professional conduct of each Mem ber, shall be regulated. The object in form ing this Society is to create among Attorniei a ge neral restraint upon every unworthy Member and every unworthy practice ; and also to secure the honour of the Profession against all internal dis credit and external intrusion. Between two and three o'clock, W. LEAKS, Esq. M. P. was called to 'the Chair ; but the im mediate business for which the Meeting had been called was not entered into. It was stated by Bohm Gentlemen, that no notice for calling this Meeting had been inserted in the Public Papers ; and that the circular letters requiting the attend ance of Gentlemen belonging to the Profession could not have reached thern time enough to ap prize them of what was about to take place. The circulars were sent 011 Saturday. Many Gentle men bad left town that evening, and had not re turned time enough to receive the letters on, the Monday morning. Besides, nuroliets of Attornies were now busily employed hi preparing for the Circuits. Under all these circumstances, it was proposed that the Meeting should adjourn; and that a convenient clay should be fixed upon, after the Circuits were over, and before the commence ment of the next Term, for a General Meeting of all the respectable Attornies of London and its vicinity, when it was hoped the plan of the new Society would be fully matured and adopted.— After a good deal of conversation, these sugges tions were adopted, and the Meeting adjourned. i One of the objects of this Association is to pe tition Parliament for the adoption of a law to prohibit ignorant and unqualified persons from practising as Conveyancers ; and surely, consider ing the importance of the Profession in all ques tions of property as well as character, it is an object highly interesting to every class of the community THEATItICAt REGISTER. • Performed Last Night.

The Chamber of Peers assembled on Friday, at 'thick Sitting a discussion took pl'ace on the proposition of the Marquess de BARTHE LEMY, respecting the Election Law. A , very brief statement (contained in what is called the Bulk t iuY is given of till:discussion, with the exception tniee speeches, those of, the Marquess tle &iit- THELEMY, the Marquess DESSOLLES, and the Duke de la ROCHEFOUCALD, which are reported at some length. The former, though a little more explicit than on the Saturday preceding, yet appears to have been very far from explaining with any pre cision the object be had in view. He contented himself with alluding generally to alleged im perfections in the Election Law, and hinting at, rather than specifying, one dr two defects in particular, namely, the tacilitY with which Elective -votes might be-manufactured by the payment of a certain amount of taxes tinon sham Patents, and the expence to which the real Electors Were put in journeying so often to attend the Electoral Colleges, from the frequent recur rence of Elections. The Marquess DE3SOLLES, on the ether hand, protested in the strongest terms againit the discussion of the proposition, which had alteatly tended, and could only tend, to' eitei e alarm and dismay. He concluded by saying, " I think it My duty to decldre, as the unanimous opinion of the Government, that it sets itself against any change in the Elec tion Law that the mere proposition cif a change has been sufficient to render Manifest the danger of it ; that the taking such a proposition into con , iideration can only aggKavate that danger ; and that it is its choir, therefore, to avert the danger, by opposing it." The Duke de la Rocnei'oucat.b, whilst lie admitted that there might be errors or abuses in the execution of the Election Law, con tended, that they might be easily remedied by Royal Ordo'nnances or Ministerial Circulars. He deprecated in the strongest terms the set ting afloat a propdSitiod Of this nature, which Could only have the effect of creating alarm and distrust amongst an immense majority of the population of France. The same line of argument, it is stated, wag adopted by the Count Boxss d'AtioLas, the Count Da-. CAZES, the Duke de Cnoisaui, and the Count LANSUINAM. The proposition was 39)4 ported by the Count de CArrata.gtaa, and several other Peers. An amended proposition (the na ture of the amendment is not stated) was pro posed by the Martiness de LALLY TOLLENDAL, ax a conciliatory measure. This was opposed by the Duke de BROGLIE, who maintained that the Chamber could only deliberate upon the original proposition The Count LEttaaarEa moved an adjournment of the debate. The discussion having been closed, the question we's put upon the motion of adjournment, which was negatived. A scrutiny was demanded on the question for tak ing the proposition into consideration. There were 154 Peers present ; the result was, 60 foe the negative, and 94 for the affirmative. The President therefore declared that the proposi tion was to be taken into consideration. The proposition and developement of it were, in con sequence, ordered to he printed and distributed, and to be referred to the Bureaux. The Chambe; then separated without any fixed adjournment. The Chamber of Deputies had no public Sitting on Friday, but there was to be one on Saturday. The proposition of iii. LAFiITE, having for its object the maintenance of the Election Law in its present state, was merely read, it appears, in Secret Committee, on Thursday; it was to be developed in another Secret Committee; but the day for doing this is not mentioned.

The Major has been consistent in his principles, and though we widely differ from those principles, yet Sir F. BURDETT, who professes to adopt them, can offer no possible apology for having forsaken an old Friend and Political Brother to raise a wretched Jacobinical Mushroom. But we are glad to bear that the Major has resolved to give a Political Portrait of the Baronet, which will probably pre vent him for ever intruding himself again on any Hustings. The trifling success of the .Jacobin Candidate yesterday, after all the promises of triumphant support on that day from himself and the Baronet, slims how little confidence can be placed in either, On the Close of the Poll yes terdo the numbers were-r- For the Hiin.
