There had been a great, many changes recently attempted in the Legislature of the country. Commission after commission had been appointed ; and who had been placed upon them I High-minded and honourable men, no doubt, and men of talent ; but in most—indeed, in almost all —cases, they had not had practical men joined with them ; and the very want of practical men of their branch of the profession, who would have informed them of the prac tical working of the proposed measures, was the reason why many of these proposed measures had fallen to the ground ; whilst those which had passed into law had proved so crude and ill-digested that it had been found impossible to carry them effectively out, and they had, therefore, become com paratively useless. Whether this had arisen from jealousy, or whether their branch of the profession was )of thought worthy to be associated with those persons of whom those commissions were composed, he could not say, but certain it was they had not been associated with them. The exertions, however, which had been made since the formation of their association, had "in some degree stopped this downward career. It had been seen that they were not disposed to allow them selves to be degraded without a struggle. He would point, as an example, to the case of the registrations of assurances commission, on which two distinguished members of their branch of the profession had been appointed. That was a move in the right direction, and he believed that in conse quence the efforts of that committee would come out in the shape of a report better considered and better capable of being carried out than some which had preceded it, They must, therefore, all feel—if he had carried them along with him— the necessity of unity amongst themselves. If that were so, how could that best be accomplished ? Their local asso ciations were unquestionably productive of good, and in the north of England they might well be proud of them. (Hear, hear.) Local associations, however, would not alone do. It was not as several distinct bodies, but as one con centrated body, that they must move. They must move as one ; and they could only do this by uniting themselves with the Metropolitan and Provincial Law Association, whose object was to carry out by a concentrated effort what he had attempted to describe ; and he thought that the good that this association had already accomplished was a proof that if properly supported it was capable of accomplishing all they could desire. (Hear, hear.) He was sorry to say that, though the number of their profession reached 11,326, the number of the members of their association scarcely amounted to 1,000. (Hear.) It was deeply to be regretted that at the present moment they had hardly one eleventh of their body enrolled as members, but he hoped this would be altered ; and it was a matter of congratulation that though the number was comparatively small, it contained some of the best names in the profession. (Hear, hear.) The meeting at Derby had been productive of great good, and he trusted that the pre sent meeting would be productive of even greater good. (Hear.) If they felt the importance of this association, and the great good effected by its means--if they exerted them selves, every one individually, to obtain additional members and the co-operation of the great body of the profession, and by these means gave the association greater efficiency, they would be successful in placing the society upon such a basis as to carry out the objects for which it was established. (Ap plause.) Ho would make one observation to prove the neces sity for increased exertions and increased funds; and in alluding to the funds, he must say they could not be more economically managed, and they were only expended in what in the strictest sense were proper objects. Beyond the pay. ment of their house rent, the salary of their worthy secretary, and for the printingand publishing of their repor; and papers, there was not another item of expenditure. But what was the instance to which he had alluded I Two bills were intro duced into Parliament last session, as important, perhaps, as any that had been introduced for a very many years. One was the bill of the South Sea Company, an d th e o th er Regis tration of Assurances. Anything more vicious in principle or m ore destructive of the interests of the public than these bills he could not conceive. (Applause.) How such measures ever ssumed a definite formhe could not understand; and still more unaccountable was the fact, that these measures received the sanction of on e w h o had been one of the brightest ornaments of the bench, and some of the merchants and bankers of th e country. When these bills were brought into Parliament their association oppos e d th em ; but as they had assumed the form of private bills, and as the opposition to the bills to be effective must necessarily be the want of funds to conduct the opposition pree e e e z t l e 3e d nsiye, the association from effec tually, opposing the bills. Fortu 3', notwithstanding the heavy drains on their funds, thenaltel pated Law Society stepped forward in this hour of neeede.er Their president, and he hoped he might be excused naming him, he had d one excellent service to the profe ss i on and the p ' u f l, h devoted hi s valuable time and talents to th e oppositios, in w most ably supported by another m em b er of that body, was Gregory, jun. ; and by their united eff or t s these bins - Mr. were thrown out. That opposition, however, although the ox.ex pense was confined to actual money payments, cost a very large sum. It was manifest therefore they c ou ld not expect great results from the Metropolitan and Provi nc i a l Law Asse ciation, unless funds were furnished fur carrying out and sup porting the objects for which that society w as f ormed: (Hear, hear.) He trusted therefore that on every ground a s affecting themselves and the public, this association would meet with every possible support, and that none of them would cease their efforts until they had really placed it on that footing which would make it truly valuable as an insti tution. (Hear, hear.) E, W. FIELD, Esq., proposed the first resolution, which was as follows :—" That for the purpose of carefully con sidering every projected alteration in the law, as well as to maintain the rights and increase the usefulness of the prof it is important that the attorneys and solicitors profession , throughout the kingdom should form an united body." Having argued that laws were worthless unless there were Persons. possessing legal information to carry them into etite 1-‘ s ee so t , he proceeded to observe that both in anei emcee' tat if reporter were made, showing the suggestions of law re modern days the profession of the law in every civilised form. made by attorneys, which had not been adopted, as well state had been of the very highest importance--second per- as those which: had been passed into law, and if similar re haps to none. The necessity of introduci ng j u di cious ame - t urns: were merle with regard to the r e for ms w hi c h h a d b een liorations of the law was admitted by all ; but if they looked suggi elted by barristers, it would be found that the prepon at the statutes passed by the British Legislature with the dorm ice of real, practical, valuable reforms, lay with the atter how many would th e y fi n d that had n e y s t o an overwhelming extent.

LOWESTOFT, Sunday Evening.—Last night, the Cyg nus, commanded by Captain Andrews, manager of the North of Europe Steam Navigation Company, returned to this port, whence she railed the previous Saturday, with a party of English gentlemen interested in the Royal Danish Railway just opened with great ceremo nial by the King of Denmark, his Majesty being subse quently entertained on ship board by Mr. Pete, M.P., contractor of the line. Among others who accompanied Mr. Peto, were Mr. G. P. Bidder, engineer of the Norwegian Grand Trunk Railway ; Mr. J. Anderson, deputy-chairrean of the Royal Danish Company ; Mr. F. H. Geach, secretary, and Mr. J. V. Gooch, superintendent of the Eastern Counties Railway. The Cygnus arrived at Tonning at one o'clock on Sunday morning, but the unfavourable state of the weather detained the company on board until mid-day on Monday, when they proceeded to Flensburg, a distance of about 40 miles. By the new line Tonning, situated in the extreme west of Denmark, on the Eider, is brought -in connexion with Flensburg, via Husum, containing about 5,000 inhabitants, princi• pally occupied in cattle feeding. From Husum a branch extends to Rendsburg, formerly a border fortress between Holstein and Sleswig, and formsa junction with the Kiel and Altona line, thus becoming the direct route to Ham burg. Rendsburg is favourably situated for commerce, being the point at which the junction of the Sleswig Holstein Canal with the Eider is effected, and hence one main element in the importance of the route now open ; for the most cursory glance at the map will show that, at least on geographical grounds, Tonning and Lowe stoft are the natural termini of any chain of con nexion between the Danish and British metro polis, and on commercial grounds the advantages are not less manifest. Until lately Denmark grid Northern Europe could only be reached from London by the long and tedious rail and sea route via Hamburg, or the still more wearying one via Hull to Copenhagen, a distance of 735 miles, the voyage alone occupying 34 days at least ; while to reach Hamburg, the traveller being then distant from Copenhagen nearly 300 English miles, usually takes about 55 hours. On the other hand, from London to Tonning can be accom plished within 30 hours ; from thence to Hamburg in six hours ; while to Copenhagen is net more than 150 miles, thus shortening the route from London to Hamburg nearly 19 hours, and to Copenhagen several hundred miles. But rapist passenger transmission forms only a very slight item in the facilities afforded by this line in conjunction with the North of Europe Steam Naviga tion Company. Considerations connected with cattle breeding in the plains of Jutland, and the fattening of those cattle on the pastures of Notfolk, and their trans port thence in an undeteriorated state, invest the new enterprise with many features of importance on which it is superfluous to dwell. Tonning, which is 30 miles from Sleswig, and 11 from the mouth of the Eider, thoegh now a small and irregular village, of some 3,000 inhabitants, must, as the traffic of the line developer, become the most important port in Western Denmark, possessing, as it does, good depth of water, and being 60 miles nearer the sea than Hamburg, while the advan tages of Flensburg as an entrepot on the shores of the Baltic caunot be over-rated. The traveller from Tonning to Husura is struck with the fertility of the plains on either side. the line, and the immense number of cattle grazing on them. The town of Husum (the principal intermediate station) is of considerable importance, and contains a population of about 5,000, who gain a toter .;stence as cattle feeders. Th e li ne b etween aule subs:, rg is little worthy o f no t e, t h e coun try flat and unculti va t e d, d reary, gr ° f ul: Husubmein and marshy, and wet, front being risiyarned, and with but occasional plots of tillage. Denmark, thouVit emeriti ally an agricultural corn producing country has large traCts of excellent land that now lie bare and waste, which require but little capital and labour to reclaim ; and of the value of this truism the intercourse with other districts will soon apprise the agriculturists dwelling on either side the Royal Danish Railway. On arriving at Flensburg, one of the most interesting and beautifully-situated towns the territory of Denmark affords, the traveller is amply repaid for any lack of scenic effect experienced on his route from Tonning. It stands on the bight of a deep gulf, running twenty miles island, and is completely landlocked, so that ships of the greatest draught may lie in safety, there being no rise and fall of tide, and therefore no locks required for loading or unloading, thus rendering Flensburg alto gether unsurpassed for commercial purposes. It becoming known some days previous that, notwith standing the political embroilment in Danish councils just now, the King would accept the proffered hospitality of Mr. Peto, and inaugurate the opening of the line, the Flensburgers made timely and earnest preparations for commemorating the double event in a mariner worthy of its novelty and importance. Processions in the streets and exoltations on the housetops, evergreens and flowers, flags and music, everywhere greeted the ear and caught the eye ; while outside the town the inhabit tuts clustered in knotted groups, and, with their long Dutch pipes hanging from their mouths, manifested their approval of their more systematically busy neighbours in low gut tural sounds and commendatory shrugs and nods. His Majesty was expected about 3 o'clock on Tuesday the 24th, but for hours previously the quay was crowded with holiday people, anxiously gazing towards Cursor, a distance of about_ 70 miles, whence the king would arrive per steamer, and shortly after the ap pointed time, the fine vessel, the Sleswig, bearing his Majesty and suite, hove in sight—the recognition of the royal standard at the mast head being announced by the firing of guns and the enthusiastic cheering of the populace. At the landing -place the king was re ceived by Herr Von Rosen, President of Flensburg ; his Excellency Herr Von Bulow, Governor-General of Sleswig ; his Royal Highness the Duke of Glucksburg, Prince William of Glucksburg, and a hest of military_ and municipal functionaries in full uniform. The King, was accompanied by hi s consort, who wore his military uniform, w ith the star of the i aid chief Mi n i,t ers of h i s Court. T othr h de e eCr ro oo y uf a nS l tet e . s o sV e cortege mi andDanner,r suite were d r i ven t o t h e i r h otel, and at night a general illumination of the town took place. Early on Wednesday morning Mr. Peto, Mr. Bidder, and the other gentlemen connected with the railway, were formally presented to his Majesty, surrounded by his staff. The King took the opportunity of stating, what he repeated more publicly a f terwards, his appre ciation of the services Mr. Peto had conferred upon the kingdom, not only by the construction of a work of such national importance as the Royal Danish, but by completing it with such extraordinary rapidity, and thereby rendering it available so much earlier than he was bound to do, or could have b een expec t e d . Th e ceremony of introduction having been performed, the gentlemen repaired to the station. Here Mr. J. S. Louth, the general manager of the line, had converted the whole structure and its approaches into a triumphal avenue of unique and imposing aspect, Mr. Louth being assisted by MOMS. Peyton, Keogh, and Trery, an ac complished artist. About ten o'clock his Majesty and suite proceeded from the hotel in opencarriages, escorted by several regiments of soldiers through the town amid continuous acclamatiens, to the platform of the station, where Mr. Pete, dressed in the uniform of a deputy lieutenant, conducted them to the royal carr i age , a most elegant specim en c f locomotive ingenuity, designed by Mr. J. V. Gooch, superintendent of the Eastern Coun ties, with which his Majesty expressed his particular pleasure, as indeed he did with all the arrangements that had been executed for the ceremony. The royal car riage was occupied by Mr. King and the Countess Dan ner, Mr. Peto, Mr. Anderson, Mr. Bidder, and nume rous officers of the household. Upon the party being seated, the train moved slowly from the station, the hearty cheering of the vast concourse combining with the clangor of the military music, and the roar of artil lery, to invest the whole scene with the utmost anima tion and buoyancy, the brilliancy of the weather en hancing its universal enjoyment. On the train arriving at Husum, his Majesty was received by the President of the district, who delivered an address on the platform. At Tonning, to which the party afterwards proceeded, extensive preparations had been made, the decorations of the ships in the harbour forming a most brilliant back ground to the, variegated panorama. His M jesty, the Countess Danner, the lady of Her Von Rosen, and two other ladies in waiting on the countess, together with the members of the royal suite, Mr. Peto and his friends, including Messrs. Lawrence and Rich, who had accom panied him from England, in all thirty-six persons, went on board the Cygnus, and were most sumptuously enter tained, the viands, fruits, and wines having been brought from.Lowestoft by Mr. Howett, who personally super intended their serving. Upwards of 60 of the other officers of the King, the rail way officials, and civic func tionaries, were also reg.iled at the Victoria Hotel, while the banquet to his Majesty was proceeding. Just pre viou, to this latter event, however, the King, accirm panic I by his premier, Count Meltke, to whom a cere monious presentation of the local authorities of Tonning had just been made, descended into the saloon of the Cygnus, and having summoned Mr. Peto, invested that gentleman with the insignia of Knight Commodore of the Dannebrog, the highest distinction in the power of Danish royalty to bestow ; one also of the 17 orders of foreign knighthood worn by the Duke of Welling ton ; and, like our own order of the Bath, is appli cable to either military or civil services. The investi ture was a premeditated act on the part of the King, who brought with him the Chancellor of the Order for the express purpose ; and in handing over the decoration his Majesty requested Mr. Peto's acceptance of it, not merely as a memorial of approval from the sovereign in whose reign a great Danish work was executed by a great British capitalist and contractor, but as a souvenir Mr. FJSRAIIA further observed that not only would it be necessary to clear the street of the dens it contained, but the name of the street, in consequence of its noto riety, would have to be changed before a respectable person could be got to live in the houses. With respect to the complaint he had made on various occasions, he should state that the police had positively declined in terfering, as it was not in their power ; and when the parish solicitor, Mr. Randall, sent one of the parish officials to give notice of indictment to the owners of one of the dens in question, the official went inside himself, remained there two hours, and then came out drunk. (Expressions of surprise and disgust.) With respect to the indecent sights that were frequently seen he on one occasion observed from 20 to 30 of the female inmates of those houses dancing half-naked in the street to a band of music, arid it was a common occurrence for those wretched creatures to appear in a semi-naked condition at the windows. In conclusion Mr. Ferara remarked that noblemen and men of rank were constant visitors at the houses. Mr. HICKMAN said that he resided in the neighbour hood he complained of, and the picture was not at all overdrawn by the deputation. After a short discussion, Mr. SODON moved, and Mr. J. BELL seconded, that the attention of the parish solicitor should be drawn to the brothels, and that steps should be taken for their suppression. The motion was carried unanimously, and Mr.Green well, the ♦estry clerk, was instructed to inform Mr. Ran dall that he should carry out the wishes of the vestry without delay. The vestry then adjourned. FRENCH TREATMENT OF THE WOUNDED RUSSIANS.

My Lord,—Your lordship will learn with great satisfac tion, I am sure, that the conduct of the French officers and soldiers towards their wounded enemies at the battle of the Alma has been humane in the highest degree. I saw upon the field of battle itself French soldiers giving food and attending to the wants of the wounded Russians, and saw a Russian by the side of a Frenchman carried off on litters. Obeying the inspirations of a great heart, Marshal St. Arnaud had given orders that the enemy should receive the same attention as his own soldiers. When the Zouaves had carried the telegraph by storm they uttered enthusiastic cries for the Emperor, and several of them, surrounding me and shaking me by the hand, shouted ac clamations for the Queen, adding that nothing could stand against the united French and English.

It is said that within the last few days sales also took place at Amsterdam to the amount of several millions, and similar ones were made on our bourse yes terday and the day before. There can be no doubt of this being a political measure, for it is well known that Austrian public securities are in favour in Russia, and that the imperial family have invested a great part of their fortune in the Austrian funds. About a year ago several millions of Five per Cent. Metallics were pur chased for the account of the Grand Dukes Constantine .and Michael, and for that of a grand duchess of the im perial family."
