We understand that strong Petitions agginst the
Bill for preventing the enliAment of British sub-
jects into the service of Foreign States, without the
permission of their own Government, are now pre-
paring by commercial bodies in several of the port
towns, as being likely to affect trade to a serious
extent.

A circumstance of a singular nature, and likely to
attract the notice of mineralogists, especially in la-
land, is at present the subject of conversation anion;
the literati of Dublin. An exceedingly five spe-
cimen of diamond crplall;,:ed has been finind in the
sand of a small stream in the north of Ireland. It
is of the species called by lapidaries tie yelloa dia-
mond, of extreme beauty, and remarkable size. A
discovery of this kiud, should it lead to further
similar results, will be enough to charge the Es-
-4issatitia of the ..E.useraild.4alet . t. .

stic.,lrv's PRIVILEGE.

This morning, at half-past eight o'clock, some of the gen-
tlemen conarcted with the diurnal press having takes their
seats in ►he students' box (the situation selected fur them for
a number of years), Mr. Sheriff' Roberts came up in his robes
of other, and staring at the gentlemen who were there, said,
" What's this about 1" As soon :as the muural surprise vs hid)
Cie self-introduction of the Sherillocrasioncd had elapsed,
one of the gentlemen observed—" We belong to the new se
papers,*Sir." The Sheriff' then said—" Ah ! ah! who is rha
Theirs ?I‘ " Neither of us," was the reply. '• Beware,"
rejoined the Sheriff; " whoever comes here should represent
things fairly : that affair the other day was not stated as it
occurred" (alluding, we suppose, to the scramble for the
property of a convict felon ) One of the reporters imme-
diately said, that if any error had occurred, the particular
paper was respomihle for it, but that he bad nothing to do
with it. The Sheriff then said," 1 want this box for myself
to-day ; I can accommodate my friends wherever I like."
The reporters, without disputing this proposition, asked the
Sheriff whet her they w ere to stay or hinting, at the VIM('
Cities at the awkward appearance it would have to the ;vb.
I,c, to announce that they were excluded from the place
t ley have invariably occupied, and by the authority of the
Sueriff. The Sheriff then sib!, that the body of the Court
was open to them. The reporters, naturally anxious to
retain their usual place, still pressed upon the Sheriff the
necessity of determining whether they should go or stay ;
when the latter said, " If you threat, you must w alk out. I
don't care for ',wit: of y unr threats." The reporters dis-
claimed auy idea of using threats, and added that they were
folly aware of the authority of the Sheriff in that Come 5, and
waited his decision w hether tin y were to stay or go. The
Sheriff then said, " I have some ladies, and I must accom-
modate them; !I hare a right to put who I please in
here. I want every accommodation fur my friends
.tu-day."

On the arrival of Mr. Alderman Wood, Mr. Sheriff

Roberts applied to him for information rslistiVi. to the right
of the repo.ters to be in the s usitots' boy, and was told by
the „ thy A Idtrmiin, that from long custom they had an
indubittbit right to be there.
lint contented With the above exhibition, the worthy and
e►udite Sheriff pt..ted to the how allotted to the constant thy
of the Grand Jury, which he hlkd alth •' hi. own friend..."
On the art ival of the Grand Juty they sent for Mr. Sheriff
and corrected him as to his " ri the to occupy the h hole
court ns he pleated," by deriving thaft their du 'y to their
successors its Grand Jurymen, made it ne. r•sary that they
should assert their privilege, by i 000 i o tieg on Mr. Sheries
clearing their boy, 14 bids he after much thew of resistance
was reluctantly forced to do.
