These mearurements were taken in our own presence, and
may be relied on as perfectly correct. ladependeolly of his
Brest sire, this animal is extremely handsome, mad by the
time he has had experience of the oil•eale and sober luxuries
of an Eaglish fann•ysrd, he will probably form a realer
curiosity time the c►lebrated " Caps All,' the largest sox ever
exhibited in Scotland. At present he is supposed by cempe-
ti mit judges to weigh nearly 280 alone English; and as he is
both higher and stronger in the bone than •• Capa4ll." there
is no saying to what size he may ultimately attain. Till
within these few mouths Mr. Gibb, the proprietor, bail paid
little attention to the keeping of this extraordinary animal;
us a proof of which we may mention, that he was use season
iniered, in addition to bin manure, fur the low isle of Ins.
awl fed Daly on wheaten straw. He is exactly dee years old,
and was purchased in Carlisle market when only one year
old,for W. sterling, a price sufficiently Wirral, considering
his are and condition, and 'Aida Mr. Gibb was chiefly jos
Jawed to give from the Isigeiteas of bi► bone. But the spe-
culation is Fla ly to turn out a very good one, as we have jest
been informed that Mr. Gibb has disposed of this ox to a
Mr. Gilman, by whom he is to he exhibited, fur the handsome
price of 200 go ineas.—(Donsfries Coacher.)

1 am desirous, throve, the medium of your itiemitottrieti
circulated Journal, to call the atiewtion of Attorneys at Law
loan order lately made by the Beecher. or the loser Temple
spirist their interests, and highly derogatory to their che-
wier. The substance of the order it, that no Gent leseau,
'whose name appears en the rolls of nay Court as a. Attorney,
shall be permitted tea dine is the bower Temple Hall during
Term; hut the order excepts Members who have already
died in the Hall he:twee. Trinity Term, 1819, and Trinity
Term, 1821. For this order, 1 am tool, the Profession is
principally led• hied to Mr. --, and If this be so, it is
an attack ups. Attorneys which ought never to be forgotten.
You may remember that an order was some year. ago made
at Lincoln's lee, to exclude Writers fir the Public Press
from the Bar. Mr Sheridan brought the matter before Parlia-
ment, and the Lintels's. lon Benehere were so heartily
sishanied .f it, that, as sons as they could, they rescinded it;
mid Loral Erskine so greatly disapproved the measure, that
• dise.rol64lafter this delete was closed, his Lordship pre-
vailed.. Sir John Aestruther and Mr. Sheridan to represent
to the House that he bad not gives his consent to it; and if
he had dune so, he would have withdrawn it.
The profession of as Attorney, I believe, has increased ii r
respectability of late years, and they are personally taxed
beyond every other profession. Mr. Serjeant Outdoor, is
this Session, obtained an Act of Parliament to introduce
an men from the Universities by a three years', instead
eta five years* Clerkship; sad so great was the li-
berality of its present members, that not one of them
opposed the Bill; hot perhaps they little expected that so
soon after Mr. Srrjesnt Onslow thus opened the profession
of an Attorney to a sudden influx of members, the Bendier.
of the loner Temple would shut their Hall against their
et:mission, and degrade them as an unworthy cast by deny-
ing them their ancient privilege., and by an ex post facto
law excluding them altogether from the Hall. The first
order against Attorneys was, to exclude from Call every Attor-
ney who had not ceased to practice two years; then we load
as, order of exclusion, if trot struck uhf the roll two years;
now the order is to rxelorte Attorneys altogether from keep.
log commons, and, h:. and by, we shall hear of Mr. -,
so some equally liberal-minded men, with sons called to the
Ear, proposing orders to exclude men who have been Attor-
neys* Clerks altogether from the call. Oa behalf of the Pro-
fession, I challenge any man to name gentlemen caltml to the
Bar from Attorneys desks who hare disgrarel their profes-
sion, or conducted themselves dishonestly or dishonourably.
if this esanot be done, surely there can be no just cause fur
this hasty and ent.ir exclusion. But 1 will uodraw the
curtain, Mr. Editor, and .hew you the other side of the pic-
ture, and yon will find, Sir, the most profound Lawyers,
and the best men that the Profession ever knew, were boon&
np Attorneys; some of them are now no mere, but their
memory and attainosesits must live revered by all their see-
cessors, as long as the Profession of the Law shall be esteemed
in this country. Chief Justice Saunders (whose Reports,
lately edited by Mr. Serjeent Williams, are of the highest
character) was a beggar-boy,tifierwards an Attorney's Clerk,
and then a Lord Chief Justice; the Lord Chancellor Hard-
wick?, of whom Lord M•nalield used 10 say, " that when
he prateorneed hit .letreeto Wisdoms herself might be raid to
speak;' the Lord Chief Justices Strange, Willer, and Ken-
yon; Mr. Daintier, afterwards Lord Ashburton; and the
lap Lord Chief Baron Thompson, served their clerkships to
Attorneys in times past ; and the late Lord Chief Justice
Gibbs; the late Master of the'Rulls, Sir William Grant ; the
meted.' Mr. Jnstiec BurruSgla, anal Mr. Justice Richardson,
two if soot three of the present Barons of the Exchequer,
one of the Judges of the King's Bench, Lord Redezdale,Sir
Samuel Roundly, and one of the late and the present Atter-
wey General, in minter., times, were edueated originally at
the desk of Attorneys, or Clerks iu Court ; and in every owe
of ant' Courts there are now Klop's Coattssf, who, in early
life, serer.] a clerkship to Attorneys. Prestos, &vies, anal

THE MOVING BOG.
TO THE EDITOR OP TIIE "DUBLIN E. POST."

Clara, 3il of 7th Month, 1821.
Sya-1 look the liberty of informing thee of the particu-
lars of the Moving Bog, on the 27th ult., and concluded
with my predictions of ids progress. 1 have now the me-
lancholy assurance that I was perfectly correct ; the hog hes
spread to a great extent, and is proceeding down the low
laud with a must . imposing fruat, Iwo hundred yards wide
and eiebt feet deep, moving forward at the rate of two yards
every hour, a list* it keep steadily W. I have taken pains
so arouse the laud owners in its way fur miles, but they scent
inclined to lel it take its course. 1 proposed& plan of throw.
ing a strong embankment across the valley, and leaving
the country shove it a lake or soft bog, which might be
drained at their leisure. To that the proprietors object,
without remuneratiou, as they expect the bug will move off
their laud if let alune,and no one is able to compensate them.
Then I proposed Government to be immediately itiformed of
the situation and danger of so many thouaawd re f mea-
dow land, whirls they say would be a good thiag, but eau one
is willing at step forward, and in a few days it will pass the
Glee., and spread far and near in an open country, where an
embakkinent will be impossible, and Rita tlw loss will be
immense, as the rivers are all of a lazy description, and will
be choked up, flood will follow, the cinnamon-3'llkm be-
tween Monte and Cla►s rut nil, several highways destroyed,
and where the mischief will end few can tell. Never was
there a period when a clever, active, public-spirited, and rich
individual was more wanted, to combine the divided ideas
of interested widividoals for the public good. 1 hope Go-
vernment will step forward its lending its assistance, as so
tine should be lost.
I am, respectfully,
SAMUEL ROBINSON.

day, boot remained eight day■ without food, when they worked
their way into the bread.rum, mud took just enough to sus.
tain life. In this situation they continued for wrestler-or
weeks and three days, lemon's the greatest hardship•,
when one of them was observed by a soldier, and shortly
alter both were discovered and reported to the Captain
of the Alp : when brought on deck they were nearly blind
from so long a confinement its the hold. Their inteution
was to have gut on shore at Rio Janeiort, at which place they
expected the ship would have touched. Ott their arrival in

mencer' his admirable Essay with pointing out the utility,
indeed the necessity, of the study of History. " Whoever

plure the principles of humor nature as they are develops/is
the annals of sn•tikiiid, and investigate the past as Ø.
peat index of the probable." Ile then pointed out " dis
peculiar and paramount importance of Modern History,"
Some parts of the following quotation may be supposed
to allude to the politics of the day, particularly when we
call to oar recullectioo the recent dehesee in both Houses ea
the Holy Alliance.—" The great religious revolution of the
sixteenth century, among its other glorious results, gave

moulded into form, and to the fuller recognitiou and eats.

have impressed upon all commies the importance of pre.
serving it entire. The lessor his been read to more dons
diplomatists; and maxima, that would sacrifice the inde•
peadence or integtity of the seseasest state to the •ggnow
disement *if another, are spurned in the cottage, if tideland
in the eabieet. May ambition never again hate the power
of throwing Europe into a convulsion like that from *hide
she has recovered! May its unprincipled design., whether
displayed in the open aggressions of a wiggle Usurper, or
lurking in the plausible pretence. of a despotic alliance, be
ever balled by the •wakeeiril vigilance of freedom!"
Mr. &bawd thus concluded his Essay, which was hailed
by the must rapturous applause:—" Thus are we united to
the system of modern alfoira by such an immediate and
personal comer:ion as ancient history cannot supply. Ex-
cept, perhaps, that ilefluence of the Rums. jai isprudence
perceptible in Ilse legislative codes of Esc upean nation,
we can detect no chain to bind the ancient to the moderu
world. The separation is immense : there hes a gulf be-
t weeu them. We peruse the records of the former with
curivaity, with interest, almost with passiou; but it is
only while the picture is fresh and glowing in the eye,
whole the eloquence is sounding in the ear,. while the es-
cliantment lasm, which reflertiou will wrestles, if it de
not wholly destroy it. We turn to the annals of the
latter foe cams., of which we are actually feeling
the t &eta: here it is experience itself that drives us
to the oracles of History. To us it is of little wasequelece
to knew that the !thriller of Greece were saved at Mara-
thon, which we now see struggling with far worse harhari-
aus than thronged the legions of Darius; that customs were
common which hate ceased to influence; or dynasties es-
tablished which no longer exist. To contemplate the trans-

" There is no fllleil assistance to direct wise efforts in un-
ravelling the Providential scheme of modern bistros. The
attempts of ingenious men to apply the book of Revelations
to this purpose have nut been chat acteriged by match suc-
cess, nor productive of any certainty. In contemplating,

No evert that has hitherto ocenrred, within she period de-
elevated, esti be compered in its magnitude or its effects, to

it might nut exactly spiel size with their conclusion : and

" Moue, then, modern history presents no entire sad ab-

ruandesa ; and since all light from higher sources is either
willibehl, or only partially vouchsafed ; speculations of this

that the destined cud of the present system of affairs will

UNQUALIFIED ATTORNEYA.
In the sittiogs of the Court yesterday ntritv.ing,
the CIIIEF COSIMIRSIONER spoke to the Idllowing
effect !—'• The Court lakes the earliest opportu-
nity of promulgating a Rule respecting the prat.
tice of this Court, which we Wye this trowittog
unanimously agreed upon. We hove Ititig steli
with regret, and with feelings heyon.l regret, •M.
very culpable neglect of attorneys who f.rActim• tit
it. I tlo nut, of course; Merit all the 014011.0 who
practise iu this Court, but those who so greatly,
neglect the business of their clients an In letter
it in the bands of their clerks, or even of llio.e"
who are not their clerk.. but to whom we
gretely suspect they delegate the power to art
In their lingoes. Had arty evidence been brouvtgt,
before is,' ruhatagittaring the fart we soaps-et to
exist; the t.ersntr so offending would certainly b 4
suspended from acting iii this C t. Eve.y •
attorney who has been guilty of this practice•
has been degrationg the profession to which lie be-
longs, and acting in direct oppositicti to the rules
by which he wa.appointed to practise in she Cond.
We fret it our duty to interfere to stop a growing
evil, for *lnch purpose we hope the Rule we have
agreed on will be effectual."
The Learned C0)13115310 St ER then read the Rule,
which is to the foll lOW lug effect
"Thai from and after the 20th day of holy instant. every
schedniu n.:.1 bailout-, sheet shall be attested and signed hir
the attorney a.•t•tig fur any Insolvent who nosy apply for re-
lief, and out by only clerk. But if each •tturmy elowild be
absent from luwu,or p led by any ressmaablecmose from
making suck attestation, then in such ease ether of the
attorneys of the Court may attest the 1141I1C."
