TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SIR,

I am a young Member of the learnctl profession
of the Law, and as I think it right t 6 folhw my

Leader, I very seldom read anj of those " pes-
tiferous" pub!ica tions called Daily Papers ; but hcar-
ing that you had been unmercifully severe with us
Gentlemen of the Long - Rob rewefting-: th-e- im-
portant event which lately happened at Guildford,
I went into a Cotf4e-house, and having prayed ge r
of the Papers, I illas absolutely astonished
,at the
audacity of your attacks. You do not-seem to be
aware that it is libellous to make any tian ridiculous,
and a fortiori,. a Barrister, but' you will find this laid
down as Law in . several cases which I cannot at
present reeolleCt, but which I will send to you-when
I have unpacked my saddle bags and taken out my
Library. One of the wicked purposes.which you
evidently have in view, is to mislead the vublic
mind, and to make people confound two PrOfeSS;67,'S,
viz. Barristers and Innkeepers, by calling- us both
Gentlemen of the Rix. But I am sure the Public
will Dever suffer themselves to• be imposed upon by
such a gross attempt.; difference between the
Iwo professions-are too many and too obvious. In
the first place ,we get totthe Bar by- eating, while
they in .general make their . way by tirinAing. This
you.must allow is a !cliff tistipaipn irk our favour.
Then, Sir, look at the distinguishing marks of the
two Professions, curs is a flack gowa, theirs a b z<e
apron—With us the Silk Gowns are always befire

tile Bar, with them a_Silk Gown is often seen 6,4;id
don't even deal in The same commodities ;
we dispose -of our tangs, and they sell their sp;r;rs.
• 'e ;.but it is -unnecessary to go on-, it is as absurd
to confotind„The two Profeslions as-it would'be to
mistake Mr. R for .41L2w;jCzee.
-Now, Sir, to come to the.cause in hand, the Gen-
tleman of the Bar-(as you call him) at. Guildfords
states, in the first count' of his declaration, that
there was /I,R7k Turt;z ; to this I demur as a'Sbom

' Plea. There was indeed a Calf's head near one
end of the table, but nobody liked it. The next
allegation that there was a Ham,:but to this there
is a 'replication, that all the meat was cut 0a...-Upon
this part of the case:l have not been able to pick
:..4ouLthe_truth, soinustieave ii.as a hone of
.ciowten-
fion between the. parties. lam not quite certain
that be makes any allegation. about .(because I
, have not yet got an office copy of his declaration)
but if he has, we are ready to join:issue With ,itim
- upon that-point—There is one part of our complaint
to which I candidly confess I think much weight is
not due, viz. that we were obliged to send for
Pickled Salmon •to make up our dinner, for to say
.the truth, I thought it. a very pleasing change to
- men who had fed so long upon Gudgeons.. - •
Without entering more at length into this subje6t,
I contend that we are the best judges in ibis case,
beca'use.we have all been bred up in 117 ii I was
-five years in nne, aid must must therefore be allowed to
know something of the matter. It is true that even
at that Ixn, we sometimes had short ecmmons, but
as I was then obliged to keep terms, I made no dis_
turbauce about it. Well, Sir, we have All left this
man's house, and I don't-think he will, without proper
concession, he able to obtain a rvenire de But
what can yoo think of a . man, who iii such an im-

portant case- as this,' has not retained on Barrister ?
But now that we have left one Inn, We are puzzled
where to find another ;- there are various opinions
and .parties among us, but for my part-my ooje:t
if possible, to get tp Ser leant' s
have now explained this business vetY clearly, and
shall therefore 'conclude, I will not sign .rny,name,
but you must perceive that I am not

The differences between. the Continental. Powers, on
the subjeCt of the Indemnities, seem every dOy to
increase. The French Minister at -Rgisbori• ,has
presented to he Imperial and Russian Ministers 4
very strong add important D:claration, 'on the part
of his Gkrvernment : it states, that if within two
,months from the t7tla August; the Convention of the
4th of June is not ratified by the Diet, the Princes
of the Empire arc au/bar:zed to take possession of
the Indemniiies which hie been allotted to them.
The Convention is not to be discussed Article by
Article, but is either to be adopted or rejeCted
hi %Ora. The diSpute between Austria and Bavaria,
respeaing the Bishop/it- of Passau, stiil-continues: ,
each party is augmenting his forces, but the business
will probably be settled by negotiation.
