THE BRAZILIAN BARRISTER'.

. .
MANSION flousE.—The case of the Brazilian barrister,
stated in the newspapers of Tuesday, and headed "An p.
peal to the Bar,", has, as the briar, MAYOR conjectured it
would, excited an immediate interest,, although not. very
strongly, in the quarter to which his Lordship particularly di-
rected his observations when expressing a hope that the_appeal
would be felt by the gentlemen of the English bar, As no
more that two contributions were received by the Lord Moor
from. the.profession for the service of the unfortunate .firaziliah,
it may not be uninteresting to give insertion to the notes en-
closing them, especially as. the profession may be induced gene-
rally, upon some other occasion, (for the necessity of this no
longer exists,) to follow the example of the' writers. The first
was as' follows :

" King's-Bench:walk, Temple, Wednesday.

.4' My Lord,—As your Lordship. appears to be eathified on
inquiry of the correctness of the statement made at your office
by a.distressed advocate from Braz!l, I beg to enclose 11. on
his account, and trust other members of the English bar will
lend him Assistance-. Unfortunately, at this season% at least
four-fifths of the profession are absent from London. I have, Ste.
" A BARRISTER."
The second note ran thus : •

r` My Lord,—l beg.leave to avail myself of vour Lordship's
instrumentality in applying the enclosed 11.. to the relief of the
Brazilian Advocate, whose application to your Lordship was
noticed in the evening papers of yesterday, and am with respect

your Lordship's, Scc..
" Lincoln's-inn, 56 Oct."

A BARRISTER•"

His Lordship .also • 'received communications from some
tradespeople informing him that they were ready to contribute •
to the Brazilian advocate's relief, but were unwilling to do so
from respect to the profession, -whose opinions upon the sub-
ject they thought it necessary to have before they could think
of participating in the act of humanity to which the gentlemen
of the bar had been so warmly invit&d. The object o: their
bounty called yesterday at the Mansion-house, and left for his
Loadship, who was at the time presiding at the Court of Com-
mon Council, a-letter, written-in the Portuguese language, ex-
pressive of his grateful thanks for the interest taken by hiS
Lordship in the case ; but requesting, that through the same
channel by which the public had been' informed of his necessi-
ties, they might ,he assured .that, there Was net longer occasion
for any effort in his service, as the moment the circumstances
were detailed in the newspapers, there Was an end to his die.
tress, and his fears of distre's.
It ap that the Brazilian Ambassador, Senbor Gameio,
when in, perused the statement which has beerlitaide public,
had an immediate interview with his countryman, and most'
satisfactorily arranged every thing for his acconntin,lation and
comfort timing his stay in England ; that he ;the Andra,sad6r)
instructed Senhor Ua Canha to draw upon bins, on part of the
Government, to any amount he coiilered necessary for exist-
ing and incidental expences,.and Foniised him that his passage'
to the Brazils should he secured in the first ship that should
sail from the port of London to Rio tie .Janeiro. The Ambas-
sador also requested-that Snitor Da Cunha would write &letter
to the Lord Mayor, infiirmiug him that it • would be inconsistent
with the:dignity of the Brazilian Empire, as well as with -that
of the advocate's own character and rank in society, to permit
pecuniary accommodation, under existing circumstances,- to be
applied to the cas,_, from any other source than that of the Go_
vernmen t of Brazil..

The 10110 wing is.-a translation of a Letter transmitted to
the Lord Mayor on the subject by the Brazilian Advocate :
" MY Lortn—ln, an interview with the Brazilian Ambas_
sador, having represented to him the deplorable: -condition
into which I have• been thrown, without, having given cause
for public or personal resentment; be immediately and
warmly offered me his protection, gind every necessary 5,,.

sult of the application, which my e:: ;amities obliged me to
