M A A One half the world are desolately single, and the other supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a sense of right determ ne the former, and miscalculated hopes em- Isitter the latter. The solitary one may shield him , elf under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un eomprosing hurry; but the truth lies deeper. Physical incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness a d social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and Janice demand that health should form an item 1,1 the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or neglect wound more seedy than poverty or misfortune.

Let no imaginatively refined, or prudish feeling deter you, by their titles, nor be hindered by misinterpretation of their supposed contents, from obtaining them.

AULAIRE. Fure-ign-office, Jan. 20. M. l'Ambassadeur,— With reference to the verbal communicatiens which I have had with your Excellency upon the affairs of Otaheite, I have the h.inour to state to your Excellency that I have received from almost every part of Great Britain the most numerous and earnest representations, requesting her Majesty's Go vernment to obtain from that of France permission that such of the people of Otaheite as may wish to withdraw from the island and to remove and settle elsewhere may do so kithout molestation ; c irryikg with them of course any moveable prot:ecty which they may possess, or being allowed to di,pose of that or any other prop, rty which they may have in the island, it :hey wish to do so. Her Majesty's Government cannot imagine that the Government of France can have any objection to con sent to this request. a compliance with which will afford very great satisfaction to a large portion of the British nation, while, at the same time, it woul, probably put an end to local differenr•es and contests which must be more or less embarrassing to the Government of France It will afford her Majesty's Government great plea sure if your Excellency can enable me to state to the memorialists that the above-mentioned permission will be granted by the French Government to the people of Otaheite.—l am, &c., (Signed) PALMERSTON. COUNT ST. ♦LJLAIRE TO VISCOUNT PALMEIRSTON. (Translation.) London, Feb. 1. The undersigned, &c., has received the note which his Excellency Viscount Palmerston, &c., addressed to him on the 20th of January last, and in which he expressed a desire to learn whether such of the inhabitants of Otaheite as might wish to quit that island, in order to establish themselves elsewhere, would be allowed to depart therefrom without opposition on the part of the, local authorities. The undersigned is enabled to announce to his Excel lency Viscount Palmerston, that as long ago as the 2d of December last, the Minister of the Marine and Colo nies wrote to the Governor of the French establishments of Oceania, instructing him to offer no obstacle to the emigration to the islands of the north-west of such of the natives of Otaheite as might desire to depart from that island, with the view of withdrawing from the authority of the Protectorate. The undersigned therefore congratulates himself on having to communicate to his Excellency Lord Palmer ston a decision which will be satisfactory to him, and in which his Excellency will see a new proof of the mode ration anti of the spirit of conciliation which the Govern ment of the,King will always manifest in its relations with the natives of Otaheite.—He avails, &c., (Signed) ST. AULAIRE. DECLARATION OF THE PLENIPOTENTIARIES 01 GREAT BRITAIN AND FRANCE, ACKNOWLEDGING THE INDE • PENDENCE OF THE ISLANDS OF }WAHINE, RAIATEA, BORABORA, AND OF THE SMALL ISLANDS ADJACENT THERETO. Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ir. land, and his Majesty the King of the French, being desirous of removing a cause of dis cussion between their respective Governments, relative to the islands in the Pacific Ocean which are hereinafter designated, have thought proper reciprocally to engage: 1. Formally to acknowledge the independence of the Islands of Huahine, Raiatea, and Borabora (to the lee ward of Otaheite), and of the small islands adjacent to and dependent upon those islands. 2. Never to take possession of the said islands, nor of any one or more of them, either absolutely, or under the title of a protectorate, or in any other form whatever. 3. Never to acknowledge that a chief or prince reign ing in Otaheite can at the same time reign in any one or more of the other islands abovementioned; nor, on the other hand, that a chief or prince reigning in any one or more of those other islands can reign at the same time in Otaheite ; the reciprocal independence of the islands abuvementioned, and of the island of Otaheite and its dependencies, being established as a principle. The undersigned, her Britannic Majesty's principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, and the Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the King of the French at the Court of London, being furnishediwith the neces sary powers, hereby declare, in consequence, that their said Majesties take reciprocally that engagement. In witness whereof the undersigned have signed the present declaration, and have affixed thereto the seals of their arms.

THE HERRING TRADE.-THURCO, JULY I.—We have little or nothing to report in the herring trade for the past fortnight. The quantity of fish in the bay, of which there were some good appearances a week or two ago, have disappeared. The fishermen are still prose cuting the fishing, but without much success. The few they are getting are either sold in the town or used as bait for cod. Of the latter the fishermen are some days getting fair quantities, as many as IQO per boat. From Wick, we learn that on Thursday reaming two boats bad fourteen crane of herrings betwixt them—one had ten and the other four crans.—Caithness Chronicle. JENNY LIND.—The prevailing enthusiasm regard ing the Sweedish nightingale has already begun to mani fest itself in this quarter. We are informed that from one town in the neighbourhood application has been made for no less than 200 guinea tickets of admission to the Music-hall on the night of her performince here, and from various other quarters the demand: has betin nearly as great. In Manchester tickets for Mdlle. Lind's performances there have been selling at from half a guinea to a guinea and a half ; and will doubtless in crease in value as it draws nearer the time of her ap pearance.—Scotsman. IMPORTS or GRAlN.—During the week beginning on Thursday, June 25, and ending Thursday, July 1, no less than 25,362 quarters of grain were imported into Leith. We alluded to this large importation in our last, but from want of room were then unable to eive parti culars. Ot this quantity, there were 4,682 k quarters of wheat, 3,892 quarters of barley, 16,217 quarters of oats, and 570 k of pease. The following are the vessels by which these large supplies arrived : Anna, 546 quarters wheat ; Mary, 635 ditto ; Rebecca, 920 ditto ; Wihelmine, 270 ditto ; John and Jean, 367 ditto ; Posie'ton, 411 ditto ; De Jonge Klass, 307 ditto ; Lady Duff, 740 ditto ; De Vrow Antje, 486 ditto.

There have also arrived 70 tons Norwegian potatoes by the Pheenix from Drontheim. There have also been considerable arrivals of grain, &c., into other ports in the Firth, and on the east coast, chiefly from Riga.—Scotsman. FEARFUL OCCU.XELENCE IN LONG-ACRE. —On Thursday, between eriven and twelve o'clock, a most fearful accident occurred at the corner of Endell-street, Long-acre, by whidli four persons had a very narrow escape of their lives, and, as it is, one of the individuals has sustained such serious injuries as to render his re covery extremely dubious. It seems that at the above period a number of workmen were employed in pulling down the old wall of a building, when the foundation suddenly gave way, and four of the labourers being at the time beneath, were completely buried under the bricks and rubbish. Owing to the active assistance afforded, three of the poor fellows, namely, Murphy, Jones, and Johnson, were soon extricated, but not before they had each received considerable injuries, though happily not such as to cause any serious apprehensions. It is, however, to be regretted that Timothy Sullivan, aged 25, was removed in a horribly mutilated state. On being taken to the Charing-cross Hospital, he was placed under Mr. Young, the resident medical officer, who dis covered that he had sustained a fracture of the right clavicle, a dislocation of the collar bone, a compound fracture of the left leg, and other dangerous wounds. He remains in a most distressing condition. MASTERS AND SERVANTS.—In the Bloomsbury County Court, on Thursday, a footman named Mead brought an action against Mr. Kenyon Parker, the Chancery barrister, for a month's wages. Mr. Parker defended the action in person. The plaintiff was en gaged for a fortnight, and remained a few days over, but on a wilful disobedience, as it was alleged by Mrs. Parker to bring an article into the dining room, he was re quested immediately to leave the house. On Mr. Parker s return to town, he was paid his wages, and now claimed a month's notice, bringing his action for the amount. at Mr. Parker, on the authority of several cases, urged t hat the hiring had been special, and not for a year , and w re s erved, there fore no notice was necessary. The point 8 and Mr. Parker then contended that ontnhecase of " Spain v. Arnold," in the second Starkieo,raersehrvisanwtawgebso. refused to obey an order could not . rec over as also the plai n. Mrs. Parker was examined on the pout e t i h r e e L v evidence, tiff. There was a material discrepancy duration, and after an investigation of som e decide the case on the Judge (Mr. Heath) said he s nth point of law which had been raised, and would give his judgment in a week.

The following is an account of the capture and de struction of the slaver Tres Amigos, a Brazilian brig of 415 tons, with ten officers ant forty-six men, by her Msjesty's steam sloop Devastation, R. Levinge, com mander. "On the morning o: March 16, being in lat. 5.30 N., long. 3.10. E. of Greenwich, the Devastation chased a suspicious looking brig, which, on seeing her, immediately made all sail, and ran in towards the land. After a chase of sn. 30w., with all sails set; and making eighteen revolutions in the minute, firing the long gun loaded with shot, at 10h. 45w., the stranger hoisted a Brazilian ensign at the main, and in a quar ter of an hour from that time she ran upon the beach, near the river Lagos, in lat. 6.20 N., long. 3.10 E. of Greenwich. Two boats were seen to leave the brig, filled with men, who escaped to the shore. The steamer having come close up and anchored, immediately manned and armed her boats, and sent them on board, under command of First Lieutenant P. M. Godfrey, with acting Lieutenant J. M. Carmichael, and Mr. T. Couts, boatswain. They found the brig well armed, two long eighteen-pounders on pivots, one between the masts and the other abaft the mainmast; two broadside guns forward (eighteen-pounders), and two brass swivels on the bulwarks of the quarter-deck ; also nettings to repel boarders, ammunition, Muskets, cutlasses, thing derbusses—in fact, every kind or weapon for defend ing a vessel. The surf was very dangerous, one of. the boats of the Devastation being dashed to pieces along side the slaver, and the crew washed ashore ; one also upset, and was driven ashore by the rollers, and the brig in a short time became a total wreck. The officers and men, after cutting away the masts with their cutlasses, found it necessary to swim ashore for their lives. The brig parted amidships. One marine was lost in trying to swim ashore. The man who had been looking out at the mast-head of the slaver was seen in the surf, heavily ironed, having been thrown overboard by the captain for not keeping a better lobk•out and seeing the cruiser before. The his irons took him tpo d a( o r Deva,tation's crew tr i e d to save the poor fe l low, b ut paddle mi n e . a itnbo T o axg h se e ht ow s roa u effs r f t o r i al a nt n tchhhee s o o rDne heed next g at hsattaatsi morn intohtnoe 1513 a g ke t , e w i t ncl e eu n ni teh thei mpossiblea d back of the surf, and the dingy being well buoyed up with cork tenders and bunkers, was ve al :: e e ry d rewn a ed s r h eere o a r l. e il y g by hauling lines.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. , RESPECTED FRIEND,—I regret I was not in time to get an opportunity of bringing my several subjects before the Association in that form which appeared to me ad visable ; I, therefore, preferred to leave it to a future ' opportunity. I was much interested in hearing, at the Mechanical Section, the description of Clarke and Var ley's atmospheric tube, which I think is the most effec tive plan of the kind I have yet seen. I was permitted to exhibit my machine for proving the strain on beams, bridges, &c., in the society's model room, where ii was seen by many of the professors, &e., and its simplicity and accuracy was admitted ly all. By a professor of this section I was informed some of the particulars i ot the proposed iron tunnel, or tube, for conveying a railway over the Menai Straits ; and though I was very much surprised at the boldness olconstructing cast-iron beams, or girders, 100 ft. long, and less than 4 ft. deep, I wa, still more astonished to hear of the amazing boldness of constructing a tunnel, or tube, of such mignitude, with such comparatively alight materials. According to my informant, its length is to be 460 ft., clear of the points of bearing—so that I pre sume the entire length ca nnot be far short of 470 ft., it s diameter 30 ft., to be con structed with : wrought-i ron pl a t e s, varying from in. to 4 in. thick--therefore, supposing the aver a g e thick ness to be 4, and includi ng t h e ne edful powerful ribs and stays .to .resist the i vertical and literal pre s s ures and strains, tok,ether with the i nte rior framing an d rails, I estimate its weight a t upwar ds of 30 cwt. for . every foot of its length, or about 700 tons. Now the depth of the tube is 30 ft., which is about 1-15th part of its length ; theretore, according to my' machine, the strain by Its own weight at the middle will be equal to 74 times its wei ght — viz., 5,2 50 tons • and suppose a train, with the en g i ne an d l oa d , to be 100 tons, equal to 750 tons—togeth e r 6,000 tons . According to Barlow's theory, the sate cap ac ity to resist such a grain ou g ht to be equal to 18,000 t ons , an d to Tredgold's, 24,000 tons. Now let us see wh a t i s th e ca p a city of this projecte d tunnel, or tube:— The circumference is ( say ) 90 ft. ; the tensio n pro perty in the lower half, 45 f t . Su ppose the pla tes avera g e 5-Bths of an inch thick, i t wou ld give 74 square i nches on each toot ; say that eac h i nc h would susta in, before breaking, 20 tons, this wou ld ma ke 150 tons to each foot which, multiplied by 45, g i ves a capacity of 6,750 tons ! — s o that its own weight. and the load. wo uld, accordin g to this calculation, produce a strain nearly equal to the breaking point. Now, as wro ught-iron will be g in to stretch at the strain of 10 or 12 tons to the inch, it must be manifest that little more :- than half its weight would produce a permanent set, and render it perfectly unfit and unsafe for the desired object' If this projected tunnel, or tube, is actually in progress of construction, or is seriously intended to be made, I can not but think it would be advisable for the parties concerned to have the matter or subject investigated, so as to prevent the probability of incurr ing great pecuniary loss, as well as to guard against the P".sibility of a great sacrifice of human life. The foregoing calculation is upon the assumption that the entire support is intended to be derived from the tension of t h e wrought-iron pl a t es ; and I do not see on what else they can depend, unless it may be intended to sus consider it a most suspend the tube from towers of I masonry. In that case, canno t but expensive mode for obtaining the object—far greater th an the system of triangular bracing , or straight suspending bars. T. MOTLEY, C.E.

The report prepared by the House of Common's Public Committee (of last session) on Legal Education, has only just appeared, accompanied by voluminous evidence, &c. Appeuded are extracts from its concluding pages, pre • seating some of tLe principal recommendations of the Committee " 1. That the present state of legal education in Eng land and Ireland, in reference to the classes professien l and unprofessional concerned, to the extent and nature of the studies pursued, the time employed, and tle facility with which instruction may be obtained, is ex tremely' unsaisfactory and incomplete, and exhibits striking contrast and itueriority to such education, pro vided as it is with ample means and a judicious syst,in for their application, at present in operQtion in all tt.e more civilised states of Europe and America. 2. That is shows, in a striking clegrce,in our pul)lic institutions. In none of our collegiate cstabli,hmenls, serving as places cf preliminary study to our Uni versities, are any legal courses, however elementary, pursued. There is no course sufficiently extensiv,, available, or accessible, for the general student, sti:l less for the professional. The Tuns of Court have long since, in England, discontinued their lectures and readings ; in Ireland they do not appear to have been ever gives. Exercises altogether nominal have been substituted; and these, with a certain number of attendances, or presumed attendances, or dinners, are the only conditions at present insisted on for admission. to the bar. No better provision has been made by the public for the instruction of the solicitor. No profes sional education of any extent, or at all adequate to the end in view, is provided for the practitioner in the Eccle siastical Courts, the diplomatist, or the administrative professions which, on the Continent, have attracted the greatest attention, and for the education of whose mem bers such ample means have been contributed by the State. " 3. That it may therefore be asserted, as a general fact to which there are very few exceptions, that the student, professional and unprofessional, is left almost solely to his own individual exertion, industry, and op portunities, and that no legal education, worthy of tilt. name, of a public nature, is at this moment to be bad in this country. "4. That it does not appear to us that this state of things is defensible, much less desirable. We bestow great care on the education ‘‘f the theologian an physician ; nor has your Committee received any evi dence which would - lead them to exclude from the operation of such a principle the education of a barrister or solicitor. "5. That this conviction is not less strong when we come to a careful consideration of the results of the present want of legal education as they affect the student and society. He is called on to act as magistrate, legislator, administrator, with insuffici- n: knowledge, crude ideas, and false views. The professional man suffers still more. The barrister has to obtain his knowledge by practice only, and must, more or less, however it may be useful as an instru ment in acquiring immediate wealth, feel, when called to a higher sphere of usefulness and duty in his profession, that technicalities will not supply the want of the spirit and wisdom which would regulate their use. The soli citor comes ill entitled, through want of the qualities which sound and careful education can best give, to that confidence and reliance which the very delicate and complicated nature of his duties demand. The Minister cr Consul abroad has experience only to guide hioi, and in the many international questions which may arise, looks principally to precedent for guidance and support. " 6. That amongst other consequences of this want of scientific legal education, we are altogether deprived of a most important class, the legists or jurists of the continent; men who, unembarrassed by the small practical interests of their profession, are enabled to apply themselves ex clusively to law as to a science, and to claim by their writings and decisions the reverence of their profession, not in one country only, but in all where such laws are administered. "7. That we do not ascribe these defects to indivi duals, but to our peculiar system and practice. The legal education of the Continent is conducted almost exclu sively in the universities, and the universities are regu lated on a totally different system fr...m ours. In our universities, not only is the general student uninitiated in such studies, but even it he were disposed to attend them, his ambition is stimulated by higher rewards in other branches, and byi the exclusive and alisprhing cultivation of, especially, the matkedaticarand classical divisions of his course. 416 "8. That your Committee have nor, however, come to the conclusion that this state of things does not admit of correction; on the contrary, they have received during their course of inquiry, very direct and unqastionable proofs bf all classes, professional and unprofessional, not only from the necessity, bat also of the facility of re form. Already commencements, with uo small degree of success, have been made. Thy period thus appears to have fully arrived when larger, wider, and moo (- systematic co-operation may be demanded and expe cte-t, and when suggestions from the Legislature will not to disregarded by the public, but especially by professional bodies. " 9. That a system of legal education, to be of generAl advantage, must comprehend and meet the wants no only of the pmfessional„ but also of the unprolessional student. " 10. That legal education for the general unpro fessional student can scarcely be commenced on any ex tended scale, earlier than the period of university educa. tion. It is deemed advisable, however, with a view el general or non-professional, rather than of professional education, that chaTs of law, &c., should comprise amongst their courses, besides the general principles and elements of jurisprudence (the base and introduction to all legal study, and the natural sequel to history, mental and moral philosophy), courses also of constitutional law, comparative c9nstitutional law, political and commercial geography, statistics, anti political economy. " 11. That an outline of the history and progress of law, with the elements of jurisprudence, from approved text books, might very advantageously form a portion of the under-graduate's course in the English and Irish universities, in continuation and illustration of the elements of history and mental and moral philosophy: and should the present course of academical studies be so extensive as to preclude such addition (which may he doubted), such portions thereof as are of comparatively minor importance might be suppressed, so as to allow the proposed law studies to be substituted. " 12. That in order to give effiAency to such change, two examinations should be admitted, the one of the character usually required to qualify for degrees of arts, the other such as is required for honours. " 13. That with a view of making similar provision for the more advanced students, especially such as pro. pose to devote themselves to the legal or even clerical profession, it appears essential that greater efficiency should be given to the existing chairs; and in propor tion as the study shall be more cultivated, greater ex tension to the courses and a greater number of chairs to each department. To realise this, it will be necessary that greater advantages should be attached to the law degrees, and a greater amount of study and knowledge be demanded for their acquisition. Connected with the chairs of civil law, might be instituted chairs of inter national law and colonial law, for such as might find it necessary or advantageous to attend them; and with the ohair of English law, and subsidiary to it, chairs of con stitutional, comparative constitutional, and municipal law, might successively be established, for the conveni ence and instruction especially of such general students as might wish to prosecute their studies in the univer sities tarther than the proposed elementary legal course of the under-graduate. .._ 14. That to render these lectures of benefit, your Committee are strongly impressed with the importance of accompanying all lectures with as much of private instruction and questioning as may be practicable, but especially with periodical examinations& which may thus afford tests not merely of a given amount of knowledge, but, to a great degree, of assiduity and perseverance in acquiring and retaining it. 15. That it appears from evidence before your Committee, that the professional student could scarcely acquire, even with these additions, that special and thoroughly professional education necessary for pro fessional success at an university. In other words, a college of law seems not less important to t h e lawyer than a college of surgery or medicine to the surgeon or physician. ~ 16. That this institution is to be sought rather in the application, if possible, of old establishmerht h tahne the erection of new ones, from the guarantee w c c former give of order, e ffi ciency, and permanengi aL 1 that such institutions ate, to a great degree, to . be met bolt countries. Nu , with in the ' Inns of Court' in violent or inappropriate .innovatiotn is a t te mpte d to.. to be forced upon them. They 'ressorand only their own to thi s applicati on resume anew the ancient statutes and practices , and original objects of their institution. give effe ct a special of the . th e or Inns of C T e h u a r t t, to to the or professional it t n tßis country should co-operate appears much more advisable that the providing for its own ust hat of * a s sla t t e u e wved d e e rcei n oo t lfl s i : nege a nacs' se h r i es of lectures on alle ; and depart mentsin- itb of civil and English law, thatsho u ld 'gr eat rather fur nish each its quota to the general course, in that depart went which is most congenial to • its constitution; and to admit indiscriminately, on p a y ment of the sam e f ees , di s tudents of the i nns of cou rt without distinction. The four no matter of wh a t inn, inns would thus form. for all purposes of instruction or, i n ot h er word , a sort. of aggregate of col leges,s, a species of ' Law University.' Ireland, The ' King' s I nn ' in adopting the same course, but forming one body, would, like its university, be at the same • time college and university. " 18. That i n or d er to g i ve full e ff ect to these lectures . it appears to be advisable that entrance into the inns of court, like entrance into an university, should be pre- ' ceded by an examination by way of matriculation, to which should be considered equivalent a degree in arts, but especially if the changes above recommended were carried into effect in the universities, a degree in law. The lectures should be accompanied with questioning and examination daily, and with an examination os greater length and minuteness at the termination of each course. Finally, bet. re applying for admission to the bar, the student should be required to pass a probationary or qualifying examination, and permitted to go through an additional one for honours, the notice and record o f which, after each examination, should be kept.and pub lished. It has been doubted how far the benchera would ~~~ be- authorised to impose such regulations ; but the sition of certain exercises (though now 'Merely formal) and the condition required of attendance on runners, seems a very distinct exercise of such powrr, whatevel ,may be thought of the manner in which it is exercised. " 19. That the appointinet4 nr revocation of the Prc. fessors should be lest to 'the governing bodies of th , ' respective inns, as well as their: endowment ' • that tho, endowment should be pa rt ly p a id b y salary and partly by fees, thus combining independence with motives tot exertion ; the number of lectures regulated as well a: hours when given, on the joint arrangement of the several inns, and with reference to the subject*, and attendance on lectures. "20. That it would be advisable to begin with the great branches only of the law, but highly desirable, a; the system advanced, to add such other Chairs as in the first instance the exigencies of the profession itsel' required, and, in the next, as might be of utility to the profession and to the public gene: ally, such Chairs of Jnternational, Coloniac Constitutional, Law, Medics , 'Unri,prudence, Municipal,' and Administrative Law, Ice " 21. That the :final examination should ho.left to f. b, dy of Exalh:it:crs, appc.i;.tecl by the'lntis-i4 - Otemon tel set creel from each of ll:ein rOspec•i‘e'y, %%it'll the .•cognizance and approvid of the .fml . ;e,. 22. That all matters. of couln:9::..Tatu: e might with i advantage be discussed.; adopted, and.executed by a joint i body, elected from the Benc - hers of the several Itws for this purpose. `` 23. That to givethe same constitution any c: 4 :artteter to the Sueie:y of tl!e King's Inn, Dublin, to which anal' gous duties and powers should be entrusted, it would be advisable that it should previously be it,cor poratod, btrt- as to guard and secure the relative rights and obligations of the two branches of the pro fession. " 24• That it Would be highly advisable to substitute for attendance on Term Dinners in the several Inns, attendance on Term Lectures, the number and nature of which, and how far obligatory, and Low far optional, to be determined by common content, and on an uniform, plan; and that students in England and Ireland should be entitled to make use of certificates of such attendance, whether in the Inns here or in Ireland, as qualifying them (other conditions being also fulfilled), equally, for admission to the bar. " 27. That in providing for the special legal education of the solicitor, a stringent examination should be regnired in proof of a sound general education having been gone through previous to admission to apprenticeship. "26. That for the further education of the solicitor, it would be highly advisable he should also have, even whist articled clerk, opportunities for attendance on certain classes of lectures in the Inns of Court, and also on others of a nature more special to his own profes sion, in the Law Society of which he might happen to be a membei. -4 ‘ 27. That to render more beneficial societies which em• brace the double purpose of surveillance over the pro fession and of instruction, it would be advisable to keep the purposes distinct, and to adopt, in the appointment of professors, rules analogous to those recommended to the Inns of Court. "28. That the examination of the several courses which the future solicitor should be required to attend, should be marked equally by a certificate and examina• Lion, and that the final examination, as a cunnition for admitting to the profession, should be conducted more in reference to general principles than technicalties (as appears now to be the case) by enlarging and improving the , xamination papers, and calling in some of the ex aminers of the Inns of Court. " That it should be in the power ei her of the gcvem ing bodies of the Inns of Court, or of the Solicitors' Societies, to admit the certificates of attendance on lec tures in the Universities, to a certain extent, as exempt ing from attendance on their own. " 30. That it might be advisable to found Law Scho larships and other endowments, in either the Universities or the Inns, or both, for the purposes of encouragement. "31. That annual reports should be made to Parlia ment of the state and progress of the system, in all its bearings. 32. That these arrangements should, as much as possible, be carried out by common consent and co operation. " 33. That for this purpose delegates should be in vited to meet from the Inns of Court, the King's Inn, and the Solicitors' Societies, Dublin, and communications for the same purpose should be had with the Universities. " 34. That in the failure only or neglect of such in vitation, or refusal to take active and efficient measures to carry into operation the reforms proposed, resource should be had to a Commission, to be composed, how ever, partly of legal and partly of official members." FIGHTING INTELLIGENCE. The Clare Journal contains the following:— " An unpleasant occurrence took place at tb-d Quarter Sessions Court in Kilrush, on Friday. We have been informed that while Mr. O'Connell, who was engaged in defending the persons charged with the late outrage upon Mr. Hill, the Government Inspector, was addressing the court, Mr. Hill, who was on the bench, was observed to laugh more than once at the observations made. Mr. O'Connell, addressing Mr. Hill, asked if he were laugh ing at him. The reply was, that indeed he was lauglAng at his foolish observations. Mr. O'Connell observed in reply that that was language that he would nut suffer to pass with iun:unity eisewnere, and that he should notice it out of court. The barrister, atter somtl obsemi,tions, called upon both gentlemt.n to enter into t ectirities to i keep the peace. Mr. Hill said that ht, did not intend that the matter shun d proceed farther, and pledged him.. self to that ttf,ct. Mr. O'Coi.titil did the saint., but the barrister insisted that he (Mr. O'Connell) should enter recognizances, hims,ll in 2001., and two sureties iris 501. each, to keep the p4ace. This Mr. - O'Connell pereutp. torily refused, when Mr. Major desired the sheriff rake Mr. O'Connell into custody ; and the sheriff ?..e. toiling a commttal, it was drawn up, and Mr. O'Con. ue I was sent to Brdewell, where he spent the bjet .

We have had another week of almost tropical heat and splendour. On Sunday, the thermometer, in the interiur of the county, stood at 100 and at 84 degrees in shade. The consequence is that crops of all kinds are rapidly progressing ; and the liveliest hopes are entertained of an early and abundant crop. Notwith standing the reiterated predictions of one or two would- be " black prophets," that there would be no alter ation in the provision markets till the present crop was off the ground,_ the_ptietzJaf___the stall of life are everywhere receding. Vegetables are plentiful ; and very shortly there will be an abun dant supply of new potatoes to assist in keeping the grain and cattle markets in check. Wheat and oats throughout the country are generally in ear, and give promise or good crops. Potatoes, which are so narrowly watched, and regarding which so many rumours are abroad—said, for instance, one day to be entirely Callen away, and the next to be reinvigorated with new lite-- have as green and healthy an appearance as we remem ber to have seen them. They are coming very generally into bloom, and are not the least uninteresting of the flowering tribe in field or garden. We have assurances from every quarter of Ayrshire that the crop is still free from disease. The hay harvest has begun in many quarters ; and better weather could not be got foe making it " while the sun shines " The pastures are still green and luxuriant, though we have had little rain for three weeks ; the evening dews are heavy and invigorating. We have thus every cause for rejoicing. —Ayr Observer.
