TO CORRESPONDENTS. No communication can be attended to unless authen. Heated by the name and address of the writer. Rejected communications cannot be returned. Association should be met by the immediate organi zation of a Proteranr D, , frfice Society. The question whether the two branches of the legal profession are to remain separate and distinct bodies, or whether the ancient boundaries that divided their respective provinces are to be annihilated, and each to be permitted at pleasure to trespass on the domains of the other, must speedily be decided. It is one of vast importance, not only to the parties more imme diately concerned, but to all classes in society through out the length and breadth of the land. We say to " all classes," from the highest to the lowest, because the result will materially affect the due administration of justice in all its departments. An enlarged and comprehensive view should therefore be taken of the subject. It should be considered, in all its aspects, with that care and attention which it so eminently deserves. A crude or hasty judgment should be es pecially deprecated, for if an error be committed it may not be easy to retrace our footsteps, or to regain the position we have abandoned. And, first, it is desirable that we should know the nature of the alterations which are in progress, and which must inevitably be carried out. When the county courts system was introduced, it was intended merely to give additional facilities for the recovery of demands not exceeding 90/. sterling. It was, how ever, speedily discovered that the machinery prepared for that purpose might be advantageously applied to other objects. The judges were, accordingly, em powered to hear and adjudicate on cases of insolvency occurring within their respective districts. After some time, the provisions of the 9th and 10th Victoria, cap. 95, were extended to debts, damages, and demands not exceeding 501. In the early part of last session a further extension Bill was introduced, by which it was proposed to confer powers analogous to those of Masters in Chancery, but the Chancellor, Master of the Rolls, or any of the Vice-Chancellors might re fer inquiries to be taken before the county court judge, who was also to be enabled to take pleas and answers in matters pending in Chancery, and to ad minister oaths, &c. Although, as we have re cently stated, this measure did not become law, it was merely because it was so long detained in the House of Commons that there was not sufficient time before the prorogation to enable their Lordshipa to consider the various alterations and changes that had been made during its progress through the Lower House. There can be no doubt, however, that, in addition to his other functions, the county court judge will be constituted an officer of the Court of Chancery, and that he will be compelled to under stand the principles and practice of equity. He will thus have not only a common law and equitable jurisdiction, but one also in cases of bank ruptcy and insolvency, and we should be by no means •:swniehed if a crimirill jurisdiction in certain classes of cases were added to the list. Nor will it step there. The question may be pertinently asked, " Why, if a person is competent to decide maters amounting to 501., should he not be equaly eompetrnt to adjudicate on matters of double, quadruple, or even tenfold that amount ?" The legal difficulty will be as great in one case as the other. The judgment must be founded on the same legal principles, and the result may be us important to the parties litigants, for 501. may bear as large a proportion to the entire fortune of one suitor as 5001. may to another. It is impossible to say where matters will stop. Many, persons, we believe, anticipate the period, and that at no very distant day, when all civil cases will be originated before the local tribunals, and the superior courts only resorted to for hearing appeals on legal points—all questions of fact being concluded by the report of the judge or verdict of the jury. Whether this will occur or not, it is sufficient for the purposes of our argument to say that it is by no means impossible. How great then must be the qualifications of the judges to whose bands such extensive powers are to be entrusted! How varied must be his attainments, how profound his learning, how vast his experience ! His judgments cannot possibly receive the same publicity accorded to the proceedings in the superior courts. One great check will thus be removed which has hitherto prevented the formation of crude or hasty judgments; and the other would be the presence of a highly educated and well-informed Bar, who would speedily detect any deficiency on the part of the pre siding judge. It must also be borne in mind that the vast increase of duties, and those of such totally dif ferent descriptions, imposed on the judge, will pre vent the possibility of his practising as a barrister, or having his intellect kept bright by frequent collision with his forensic brethren at Westminster Hall. He must devote himself altogether to his judicial duties, and it is by no means improbable that he may in many instances require the assistance which competent advocates on either side are enabled to afford to the bench d or, that if there are none to detect his failures, that he may lapse into habits of sloth and negligence, that would prove highly prejudicial to the administration o f justice. But if the Bar is to be annihilated, as it must be if attorneys may hold briefs from other attorneys, or even persons who are neither barristers or attorneys may be beard when they are not personally concerned, where are persons to be found with the necessary qualifications to constitute a sound and able judge? Whence are the vacancies on the bench of justice, either of the superior or inferior tribunal=, to be sup- plied? Fur a few years this difficulty may not arise, but it must come in time. The present generation wilt pass away, no new corners will recruit the ranks of the Bar. None will be mad enough to devote their time, attention, and money to so hopeless a pursuit. Not only will there be no check whatsoever on the presiding judge, but he will necessarily be of an in ferior grade, and not competent to the discharge of his multifarious and arduous duties—not competent, we say, because however strong his natural intellect, he cannot have acquired the "judicial mind," which can only be attained by a tedious and laborious process. Before then it be decided that either branch of the legal profession may be dispensed with, before the functions of barristers and attorneys, which have hitherto been kept totally distinct and separate, be assimilated, let us ask, can we spare the Bar ? or is it desirable that we should do so? Most decidedly not. There is no person who has considered the sub ject, and who is qualified to come to a correct conclu sion, who will not join in the opinion, that it is a matter of the most vital importance to retain an in telligent, a learned, a high-minded, a fearless body, who have ever constituted one of the strongest guaran tees for the liberty of the subject, and that any abridge ment of the independence of the Bar, or diminution of that high sense of honour for which it has ever been distinguished, would prove a national misfortune of no ordinary magnitude. Sir James Duke has left town for Germany. PRIMROSE-BILL PARL.—Yestesday the Commis sioners of Woods and Forests issued instructions to fill up the different hollows in Primrose-hill Park, in order that the lower portion may be converted into a cricket-ground. A spacious carriage drive has been formed from the Hampstead road through the grounds of Chalk-farm Tavern,. leading into the Regent's-park and Camden-town. A number of gravel walks have been laid down, and seats placed for the accommodation of 'visitors. It is also intended to plant this park with trees and shrubs similar to the enclosure in St. James's-park. The park-keepers appeared yesterday in their new uniform& DEATH OP TOIL SPRING, OP THE CASTLE, HOL RORN.—Thomas Winter, who, upon his first appearance in the pugilistic arena, adopted the name of Spring, as a nog' de guarre, a practice by no means uncommon with actors o n another stags, is no more.

From the commencement the trade was exceedingly brisk, and the biddings and sales throughout have been marked by great animation, and extraordinary high prices have b•en made of young valuable horses of high blood. There was a nume rous attendance of small dealers from various counties at th latter part of the fair , antici p atin g th at from the great n e n e n u i r b e f r o ro purchasing brought forward an oppori un it y might o o n sp. ciliation; but the ran ge o f p rices was such as to preclude the possibility of their uoing s o , t h e u h rcU r fing greater part of high priced horses having gone into the hands of the opulent dealer and jubmaster. Young cart horses maintained high prices throughout the fair, ti e best making 60 guineas, and the Lest cart colts 30guineas each ; mid great credit is due to the Suflulk breeders for the splendid horses of the cart bread they exhibited at this fair. Horses aged and inferior were not so well sold, and abatements were made to effect sales. Small pooh a under duty were in great demand, making from 101. to 154 each.

The great meeting of the Roman Catholics has taken place in Dublin, and it was left to Mr. Joan REYNOLDS, Mr. KEOGH, Mr. MOORE, and the gentle man who calls himself Roman Catholic Bishop of Edinburgh, to do the violent, and to ostentatiously violate the law, the Irish Prelates cautiously abstain ing from so doing, none of them, with the single ex ception of the " sweet Dove of Elphin," even ventur ing to recommend others to de it ; and the dove itself was content with cooing out a vague generality, that " any law which was contrary to morality and in fringed on the rights of conscience no Christian was bound to obey," a generality, however, which we would cautiously advise the dove from attempting to ventilate in the atmosphere of Rome, should he again visit the banks of the Tiber, seeing that any such allusion on his part to the rights of conscience in that city, where no religion is tolerated save the Roman Catholic, would as'ur dly lead to the caging of the said dove by that Holy the establishment of which m every colliery of Europe is the avowed object of the efforts of Dr. PAUL CULLEN'S model legislator, the Count DE MuNTALEMBERT. The. great star of the party, although offered an engage ment, prudently declined to accept it. Cardinal WISEMAN was not at the meeting, but sent a letter of excuse, in which he did not desig nate himself Archbish, p of WESTMINSTER The Curdinal prudently abstained from being present himself, and as prudently he no doubt re strained that enfant terrible, HENDREN, the man of damaging admissions, from attending ; at all events, the writer of the Talbot letters was not present, and the sham English hierarchy was represented by Dr. ULLATHORNE, who declared his intention of avoiding collision with the law if possible. He could not, however, he added, " possibly withhold the signature of his office—which was inseparable from his person, and was indicative of his title, though not in the legal sense of the word—from certain documents, without himself becoming a recreant to the Church of GOD, and an apostate to his high office. Therefore, where he could not otherwise fulfil his duty, he would append the whole designation of his office— where it was needful it should be dpne. Then as to the consequences of so acting, he had come to the conclusion, after mature deliberation, that he could not have recourse to the purse which was con fided to him for the support of the clergy and the promotion of religion, for the payment of fines in flicted by this penal enactment. He was prepared at once to go to gaol.—(Tremendous cheering and waving of hats, handkerchiefs, &c.) But should his spiritual ,children feel the want of their pastor, it would be no acquiescence in the penal Act, but a strong protest against it for them to raise a fund—by a penny subscription, suppose—for the purpose of delivering him out of gaol. He thought the inhabi tants of Birmingham would be ready to enter into such a protest if needful, and that the Government would tire of prosecuting before they tired of deliver ing him out of gaol." We think we may gua rantee to the people of Birmingham that they will never be called upon for the penny subscription, if Dr. ULLATHORNE adopts the prudent course which he has here laid down for him self. The speech of the Chairman, Dr. PAUL CULLEN, was a cautiously-worded document; but, cautiously prepared as it was, Dr. CULLEN, in one passage of it, points to the true authors, and, through them, to the true object of the foreign aggression ; for when Dr. CULLEN says " the Catholics of this empire have done nothing to bring about the present state of things," he simply states the thing which is not. In describing the duties which will devolve on the new Defence Association, Dr. CULLEN sass—" It must in a special manner make every effort to have the rights and interests of our religion properly represented in Parliament (Hear.) I say of our religion, because if this were effected, our temporal concerns would be better pre vided RA- at the same time.—(Hear and cheers.) For men guided by Catholic truth and charity would un derstand their duties to the poor and every wiser class of people, and would act accordingly. Were it necessary to seek it abroad, France at the present moment would supply us with the model of what zealous and religious representatives of the people can effect in the persons of those noble champions of true liberty and religion —Count MONTALEMBERT and DE FALLOUX— whose services to their country and their creed have merited for them the applause of the whole world, who are as profoundly versed in the history of the Church and the bearing of its laws and doctrines, as they are piously attached to its practices and observ ances." Now, seeing.that the Count DE MONTALEM• BERT has denounced from the tribune of the French Assembly the toleration of any other religion save Po pery as rebellion against the truth, seeing he has declared from the same tribune that the re-establish ment of the Inquisition, or of some tribunal analogous to it, is necessary in France and in every country in Europe, seeing that his journal, the Univers, has over and over again declared that the time had arrived when Protestantism must be extirpated at the point of the sword, and seeing that M. DE FALLoUX has publicly come forward not only as the apologist, but the eulogist of the St. Bartholomew massacre and the assassination of Comeau, we may form some idea of what is in store for us, should the nominees of Dr. PAUL CULLEN ever obtain power. When we remember that during the last summer MM. DE MONTALEMBERT and DE FAL- L°Ult were both at Rome, and that frequent commu nications passed between them and Cardinal Wise man immediately before the issuing of the famous pastoral, we cannot but consider that it is somewhat strange that Dr. CULLEN should have thus promi nently alluded to them, if they were entirely uncon nected with the recent aggression. The " Lion of the Fold of Judah" was very tame and prosy. It was evident that he had had the curb put on by his supe rior. The speech, however, which he evi dently bad intended to deliver was deli vered by his nominee, Mr. Mooxte, who, much to his own satisfaction, was permitted to masquerade for that occasion in the lion's hide. Of the degree of credit to be attached to the statements of Dr. Rowan Catholic Bishop of Edinburgh, our readers may judge froffi the fact of his designating the unfortunate and weak-minded Pio Moro, who is only kept in his chair by foreign bayonets, as " the beloved and high-souled PONTIFF." The fact that a portion of the funds are be devoted to elec t,'"eeTing purposes se cu re d l on g speeches from Mr. tiOIIN REYNOLDS, Mr. W.

WARRENS, principal editor of the Austrian Lloyd's, a Conservative journal, has been banished from Austria in such a peremptory manner, that only a fortnight was given him to ar range his affairs. This order is based on the ground of M. WARRENS not being an Austrian citizen. He is a Swede by birth, and was naturalized in North America. The order was given by the EMPEROR himself, but it is not yet known at whose suggestion it was done." The Augsburg Gazette states that the Countess DE BOCARME, w►io was lately tried for the murder of her brother, has taken up her residence at Kcaoigs winter, at the fort of the Drachentels, where she lives r etired. Several domicililry visits were paid by the police ac Cologne on the 14th. The library of the associa. two of workmen lately dissolved was found concealed at a jeweller's, and was taken away. 11) , - King of HANOVER has conferred the grand cross of the order of the Guelphs upon M. DE MAN• TEUFFEL, President of 00 Prussian inini.try. It has been agreed between the Senate of Him burgh and the Geveral-in-Chief of the Austrian tro,pi that the latter shall evacuate the Faubourg of St Pauli, and only retain a corps de-garde there until further orders. The Princess Emus, regert during the minority of her son of the German principality of Waldeck and Pyrmont, has juAt effected a sort of coup-d' itat, by publishing, io virtue Qt the power invested in her, an electoral law setting aside that adopted by the As sembly of the States recently dissolved, and establish ing a system of voting by appel nominal, which the Assembly had refused to admit. The Constitutionelle Blatter aus Bohmen publishes an extract from the note which the Vienna Foreign Office has addressed to the Cabinet of St. James's, in reply to Lord PALMERSTON'S circular to the British embassies abroad, on the affairs of Naples, which cir cular, it ought to be remembered, was accompanied by copies of Mr. GLADSTONE'S letters to Lord ABER.. DBEN. The reply of the Austrian Cabinet protests against British interference in the internal affairs of other countries, and it refers to the " cruelties " which the British statesmen are stated on similar occasions to have practised upon the Chartists and the agitators in the colonies. The Deutsche Reichs Zeitung states that the Cabi net of St. Petersburgh has addressed a note to the Governments of Austria and Prussia, declaring that the annexation of the non-German Provinces of Austria and their incorporation with the Germanic Confederation is altogether inadmissible. ITALY. Advocate Tommeso Cotter, the counsel for GUER• RAW, has written a letter, dated the 10th, to the Bilancia of Genoa, denying the truth of the assertions of that journal respecting the contents of the book GUEREAZZI has written in his own de fence. Signor CORSI declares that GUEREASIAI limits himself to the defence of his own personal acts, and does not speak of Piedmontese in trigues, because there were none ; nor of Sir G. HA MILTON'S either, that gentleman having constantly acted in the most honourable manner with a view to promote the hest interests of Tuscany. Signor CoESI concludes by declaring that GUKERAZZI has never at tacked the constitutional system, to which he still feels unabated attachment. By a decree of the 9th his Holiness the POPE has named Colonel FARINA Pro• Minister of War, and entrusted him with the direction of that department, Prince Nam having resigned his functions of Minis ter of War. THE NEW ROAD AND THE OMNIBUS PROPRIETORS —ln consequence of the decision come to by the board of directors of the parish of St. Pancras to close the New road, between the church a deputation d Islh)g'scros f s r , om pri t o h r e t( o ) nn la n y Lb in us g down the granite paving, proprie ors waited upon the vestry yesterday with a memo rial, praying that the thoroughfate should nut be entirely closed, but that one-half should be paved at a time. Mr. Elliot. one of the deputation, stated that he was a proprietor of the Kensington and Camden -town omnibuses, and if the route was closed it w.uld involve a daily increase of mileage of 2,400 miles, besides the extra expense of tolls, which would amount to 401. per week. They already paid twenty guineas per week toll t.• the Waterloo.bridge,.which route they were obliged to take in cons,,quence of B ackftiars bridge being closed. There were 200 omnibuses on the road. Toe chairit:an stated that although th board of di rectors bad decided that the thoroughfare should be forth with closed, it was not intended to finalty close it while the weather remained dry. The application should be taken into consideration, and everyt hag done that could be to ob viate i nco nvenience to the pubic, or unnecessary l o ss to the prOprietors of public vehicles. The ueputation thanked the vestry and withdrew. The Globe balloon ascended on Monday, at five o'clock, from the Champ de Mars, taking up three horses, upon which were mounted Madame Poitevin, M. Poitevin, and M. Louis Deschamps. The intrepid aeronauts descended at a quarter- past six o"clock, at a farm in the commune de Charvey, thirty-four kilometres from Paris. M. L evan , t h e proprietor of the farm, invited the voyagers t o di nner , an d to spend the night within his house. They returned to Paris at two o'clock on Tuesday.—Dibats. Princess Lieven bas arrived at Baden. Before leaving Germany she will, it is said, pay a visit to the Prince de Metternich. MIVART'S HOTEL.—Arrivals : Baron and Baroness lieecksran de Kell, from Germany; Count C. Vicarcy, from Vienna; M. Le Due Duzes, from Paris; Miss Pole Carew, from a tour; the Baron and Baroness Braniska, from Paris; the Baron and Baroness Puthon, from Vienna. Departures: The Duke Marino Torlonia and suite, for Brussels, on his return to Rome; Mr. and Mrs. Blagrove, for Belgium. HAMPTON COURT PALACE AND KEW GARDENS.— According to a return just published, by order of the House of Commons, the number of visitors to Hampton Court Palace during the year 1850, was 221,119; of visitors to the Royal Botanic and Pleasure-grounds at Kew, 179,627. The visitors to Kew we find only numbered in the aggregate, but those to Hampton Court are divided according to the months, and the arrangement shows the result to agree with the natural anticipation— summer exhibiting a vast majority over the less clement and inviting seasons of spring, winter, and autumn. January records only 879, February 1,284, November 1,868, December 1,258 ; but July enumerates no less than 58,164, and August, the next, though not a very close approximation, 49,826; whilst September exhibits a rapid decrease, recording but 25,890. REPRESENTATIVE PEERS FOR SCOTLAND.—The new Act to regulate the elections of representative Peers for Scotland has just been printed. It provides that a certifi cate from two Peers of Scotland shall be held to be formal notice of the death of any representative Peer. Instead of a proclamation for the election of a representative Peer being issued 25 days before such election, 10 days shall be suffi cient. Peers of Scotland who vote by proxy may take the oath before courts in Ireland and at other places. The title of peerages in right of which no vote has been given for 50 years are not to be called at elections if the House of Lords shall so direct. VAUXHALL GARDEPHL—Lest evening the third grand floral and agricultural flute of the season took place at these gardens, on which occasion the weather was extremely favourable, and the attendance of visitors more than usually numerous. Considering the late period of the Season the flowera exhibited at this show were of a most attractive character, and it was difficult to imagine that the ga:dr-ns of the Horticultural and I3otanical Societies had already di-played the choicest productions of the year. The osten sible object of the present show was to distribute the re maining portion of the corn of 225 L awari:ed by Mr. Wardell. the lessee of the al property, to the moat suc cessful florists an d plant grow , rs. Tt.e flowers which at tracted the g reatest attent i on were h ol l yhoc k s, ver b enas , tuchsias, dahli as , cut roses, and many other varieties which swirled to have lingered h their growth, in order to afford a taste of summer amongst the leaves of autumn. The exhibi tien was in a ll re , pects well worthy of an earlier per i o d o f the season, and th e appearance of the fl were, as nisplayed through the ill um i nations, was both novel and intere.tirig. The entertainm en t s w i th which the Evening conc l u d e d sere of the usual var i e d character, arid the number of foreign visitors abund an tly proved thatthe " lions of London" ha ve not yet lost thei r attractions.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 12,000 bales, of which 2,000 American were taken for export, and 2,000 on speculation. The mar ket closed with an upward tendency, with American id. to id., and the current qualities of Surat id. per lb. higher; other sorts without alteration.—The Railway Share Market was rather better, with but little business doing. The six weeks' average price of Wheat is officially re turned at 425. sd. per quarter. The West India advices refer again to the dryness of the weather as being unfavourable for the crops. The great cry, however, in Jamaica and other places was still for more labour. Even European immigrants, it is stated, would be very useful. Doubting much whether Englishmen, at any rate, whatever the natives of Southern climes did, would be equal to even light toil in a tropical climate, we nevertheless give the following statement from a local and customarily well informed source. The writer dating from Trelawny, observes:—" It is our desire to have 500,000 souls added to our population. If we could but turn the tide of European immigration, and induce the sturdy sons of the North to migrate to this island, it would be the means of elevating the moral position of the present inhabitants. We have more acres of land in a wild state of nature than there are under cultiva tion. To increase our agriculture, then, we must increase our population. We are, strictly speaking, an agricultural country. Our peasantry have, to a certaiu exteer, rendered their humble efforts towards so oesirable an end. The enormous quantity of ginger that has been brought to the several markets and disposed of during the present year, is one of the results of the labourers' energies. Irrespective of ginger, there have betei other articles breugbt to muiket, the product of the peessiit'a industry. We are aware of one individual'. perseverance having been rewarded with some forty or fifty barrels of sugar, the produce of his own little freehold; whilst others in the same neigh bourhood have had their fifteen, ten, eight, and two barrels of sugar each, produced from their few acres, besides what they have earned by going out to work for the large pro patties. If, then, the native labourer can succeed so well, with but scanty means, may we not infer that others who may be induced to migrate to this island, with some capital, would prove eminently successful, if they are of industrious habits? " We are not all of that class of men who argue that Europeans cannot succeed in our tropical climate. On the contrary, we are convinced that any man can, and oust be successful, if he sets to work determinedly. The word cannot' is, to us, incomprehensible. Man can accomplish anything that he determines on, it he but goes to work in right earnest." The letters from the Continent are not of much in terest. The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 19th inst. was dull. both for Home and Foreign Stocks. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents, were 58 11-16. The more buoyunt appearance of the English Stock Market at its close yesterday afternoon has been sus tained this morning, and there is a fair business doing in Consols at 96i i for present transfer. Time bar gains have been made at 961. The New Three-and-a- Quarter per Cents. have been marked 99 to i, and the Three per Cents. 271 to U Bank Stock has been su p ported at 2151 to I. The Unfunded Debt has been quoted 475. to 48s. premium. East India Stock is at 260. Foreign Securities have been firm, although extremely dull. Mexican Bonds are 28} -.1, being rather higher. Spanish Three per Cents. are at 38. Portuguese Four per Cents. are worth 32k. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have been at 1011, and Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. at 59g. Railway Shares have not quite recovered from the " banging" which took place late yesterday afternoon, but they are decidedly on the move upwards, and are so scarce that the Bears must buy back before the account day.

The jury convicted the prisoners, and the Court sig l ' tenced them to seven years' transportation. (Before Mr. Justice ERLE.) Charles Best, aged 32, a clerk, and John labourer, aged 20, were indicted for stealing from '2" t n i' L person of 11 , intern Day a wa t c h an d c h a i n, va l ue They pleaded not guilty. Mr. Platt appeared for the prosecution, and li r ' Ribton and Mr. Charuock defended the prisoners. lt appeared, from th e ev id ence, that the prosec utor was a trunk-mak er , carry i ng on b usiness in the s tr eet. On Sunday night, the 97th of July, he was returDill home from the West-end , and when he got to the coo l _ of Mercer-street, i n L ong - acre, h e saw the prisop or Kelly walking before him, and the prisoner Best coratug across the street.

There c ould be no mistake about the identity of the prisoners, they were recognised by a third witness, who stood S' the corner of White Lion-street, some hundred yard• from the spot where the attack was made, and atter' wards passed them as they decamped. This wittle° assisted the prosecutor in explaining the assault to the police, and subsequently accompanied one of the office," who went in searc h o f t h e prisoners, and eventua l l l Kelly was overtaken by a sergeant of the F and Best, by a policeman F 57. For the defence it was contended, that the witze eieli who had corroborat e d t h e testimony were unworthy' f belief, and th ere f ore , i n disposing of the case, the j ar l ought to throw their evidence overboard altogether , e e e — ; cept in so far as it related to the committal of the ° u ,"„7 t . by some one.
