SOUTH-WESTERN— SALISBURY AND YEOVIL RAlL-
WAYS.—Whatever becomes of the Salisbury and Yeovil
Bill, it is certain that the extraordinary privileges sought
at the expense of the South-Western are not to be con-
ceded. The chairman of the committee, at its rising
yesterday, -I•ecommended these parties to prepare an
amendel clause for the preamble, so as to obviate the
insuperablb objections to a claim, the rejection of which
the Salisbury and Yeovil has declared would make the
scheme useless. •We sincerely trust that sonic arrange-
ment may be effected, so that the rejection of the pre-
amble, which we anticipate, may not be attributed to a
demand for running powers,,but to the invalidity and
want of bona fides of the subscriptioe contract, on which
the committee will have to make a special report to
the house.—Railway Times.
THE DAL—The bar is'undoubtedly deteriorating. If
we compare the present judges with the advocates who
are likely' to be their successors, we shall find that the
two classes stand in the relation of learned and illiterate
men. On the...benchl we have senior wranglers and
high-class men ;. just below it we have mere tradesman
lawyers. Of our present judges there are very feW who
would not be rather more shocked at being detected in
a false quantity, than at having made a gross error in
law ; of the present leaders there are several who would
not know the meaning of the term. We doubt very
much whether the nation will benefit by the change, or
whether the success of a few Latinless" individuals should
induce us to change the old system of building a legal
education ' upon a sub-stratum of Greek and Latin.
Without question, however, a lawyer has not the same
need of a critical knowledge of the learned languages
which a clergyman has, but he has need of a great deal,
whereof a clergyman may fairly be ignorant.—New
Quarterly Review for July.
[ADVERTISEMENT.]--..HOLLOWAY'S PILLS FOR THE
EFFECTUAL CURE OF DROPSY.—The singular efficacy of
Holloway's pills in the numerous cures effected by their
use, in some of the most obstinate cases of dropsy, is very
extraordinary. These astonishing pills act with such pecu-
liar effect upon the system, that the fluids arising from this
direful disease are imperceptibly corried off, and entirely
prevented from any further accumulation. The distressing
symptoms which accompany this complaint being thus dis-
persed, the sufferer regains buoyancy of spirits, and a com-
pletely renovated constitution. Females at particular
periods of life should have recourse to these admirable pills,
as thiy are the finest medicine ever known.—Sold by all
druggists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244,
Strand, London.
