The GnEkT STEEPLY. CH.AsE.—The sporting match be-
tween Captain MAN TON and Mr..MAr.pas, for 200 guineas,
took place yesterday, from Mount Sorrel House, Surrey, to
Frimiey Covers, a distance of eleven miles of difficult country.
To make the nearest way, there were many perilous leaps,
which the horses cleafed with their riders in tine style, and
left the greater part of a field of sportsmen who accompanied
them. The, competitors kept together to the Bottle Cover,
when they separated, and skirted it at opposite angles.; and, at
the ridge of hills' three miles from Fridley, the race became
very interesting. It was neck o: nothing down the hills, with
leaps nearly six feet. But the most interestin,, part was the
leap at a rivttlet of 14 feet, which might have been avoided by
taking a route of a quarter of a mile. Both horses cleared hitt a
gallant style, anti the race came to the speed of the horses up
the hill to the cover, and Captain MAN Ton won it by 200
yards, in 34 minutes.

CAPTAIN PARRY.—The following anecdote of
Dr. PAnaY of Bath, related by his sister, will be considered
both as interesting and affecting.. Dr. PARRY, father of Capt.
PARRY, had met with a very. ancient book, in French, in which
it was coni'ctured or prophesied; that the North-West Passage
would be discovered about the year 1020, and though his speech
had been taken away for. some'yeaTs past, he burst out in
ecatacy—" My—bey—will—find it !" At that time Captain
PAnnv-had act teen lvz'ord of for a ion time, and his-fate was
v.actzain.

SEA IMONSTER.—Two G!ntlemen walking on
Friday. afternoon, the Nit Marc'h; on t..te sea coast, -.bktween
Port Leven and iarran, Mount's Bay, Cornwall, - saty therh-ead
of a large animal, ..much resembling that of a -horse, appear
about six times above water, not 2Q yards from the shore. This
creature was in chase of a large fish, supposed to be a cod,
which leaped out' of the water several times to escape its pur-
suer, but no doubt ultimately fell into its jaws, as both after-
wards disr.ppeared. .

•Mas...SloooNsi—The following- account of
"Mrs. SID-DONS'S first appearance in•lin-is
taken frOm an f•risli paper • ••
"fin Saturday, Mrs. Siddons,about whoni all the world has
' been talking, exposed her beautiful adamantine; soft, and lOVely
person, for the first time, at Smock-alley Theatre, in the be-
witching, melting, and all-tearful character ofllsabali.. From
the repeatcdpanegyrics in the impartial London newspapers, we
were taught to expect the sight of an heavenly angel ; -butliow
were we supernaturally surprised into the most awful joy at.be.7
holding a mortal • goddess.' The house was crowded with hfin--
dreds more than it . could hold, ,with thousands of admiring
spectators, that went away without a sie!,ht.• This extraordinary
phenomenon of tragic excellence ;. this 'star 'Of,Melptinene
this -cornet of the stage this sun', of, the; firrriament of the
Muses ! ,his moon of blank verse ! this queen and princess of
tears ; this Donnellan of the -pOisonea. bowl ! this empress of
the pistol and dagger ! this chaos of Sheicspeare !: this world of
' weeping clouds ! this Juno of commanding etspects this Terp-
sichore of the curtains and scenes ! this Pioserpine of fire and
earthquake ! this treasure of wonders ! exceeded expecta-
tion; went beyond belief, and soared above all the natural
powers of description ! She was nature itself ! She was the.very
daisy, primrose, tuberose, sweetbriar, furze-bhissorne gill:_
flower, wailllower, cauliflower; s.urieula, and rosemary
shorte.she was the bouquet' of -Parnassus ! Where eipectation
was raised so high, is was thought She would be ireittred by her
appearance.; but it was. eheaudience Who were injured: seve-
ral fainted before the.curtain-dre-W up ! hut, when -she came to
the scene of parting with her .weddi•ng-ring,-ah! what a sight
was there !-= the very fiddlers in the oee.' • :stra, " albeit, unus
to the melting .mood," blubbered like hungry Children for-
their bread and batter ; and 'iyheri the bAI rang for music be-
tween. the acts, the•teais rah from' the besoonsplayers' eyes in
sechplentWel 'showers, that they elle'etd the singer-Stops, and
making a ineout of the instrument, poured in such torrents OA
the first fideleeitbook, that,: not seeing-the oiNrture was on two
sharps, the.' leader of the band aattally played-in one-flat.—
But the solis and sighs of the groaning audience, and the noise
of.the corks drawn troin, the smelhag-bottles, preveuted the
mistake between the flats and sharps being dist/vered. One
hundred-and nine ladies fainted ! forte-six went into-fits ! and
ninety-five had strong hysterics! '.!`he weld will . scarcely
credit the truth, 'when they are told.that fourteen children, five
old women, trie!lnindred-tailors, and six common councilmen,
were actually drowned, in the inundation of tears that flowed
from the galleries, the slips; and the boxes, to increase the briny
pond in the pit; the wafer was three feet deep, and:the.people
-that were nbligetto stand upon the beaches, werein thatiposi-
tion•up to their ankles in tears ! An Act.of Pailiarnent aetinst
her playing any more will certainly pas."

Mr. GEMCNItTTS, of Belgrave Hall, near Lei.-
cester, in aletter to t3ir j 011.14 gIN CLAM, On -the subject of
third/Ig, says-, " I 4TYl'happy to inform you of my success in

withstand the bad times th4t the ft nnc:s now expetince."

Mll. EDITOR—TI:eiT appears to he an agrre-
ment in opinion between your Correspondents
" An Old Practitioner," and " a I.l.arriater," on
the propriety of reStraining, lisTetn`cers of the Pro-
fessions of Attorney ,arts Solicit-Or from practis-
ing before they arrive at the age. of 25 'years, and
of allowing them the privilege of taking only one •
articled Clerk instead'of two, as the law at pre- •
sent stands ; and yet I am at a loss to discoVer
how the advantages of such an asrangeMent can
be made manifest. It is the policy of wise go-
vernmentS to lessen as much as possible the arbi-
trary restrictions which it imposes on any of its ; not solely out.of a regard to the rieshss" •
of the individual:. but in order to securis to the
public the advantages which result from a free
and honourable competition. The proposed al-
teration in the law would undoubtedly • have. •
.the( effect of diminishing the number or the tnern_
bers of that Profession,- or at least of rest 7.:lining.
their increase. Every monopoly is a [misfit
sauce, and enables the fortunate sharers of its
exClusive privileges to exercise a dealt/peeing
authority, and to demand exactions svhiC's are-
alike destructive ofthe interests of society. These
opinions have in modern times met with such
universal assent as to have become an acknow-
ledged political axiom, and I will not occupy
the space you' have afforded ree in referring
to any particular examples in their suppOrt.--
It will only be-necessary • 'to skew their ap-.
plication to, the subject in dispute. PrOfitltas
a natural tendency to ditnintkkion, when The
trade or profession from which it. is derivedire-:
ceives an increase of members greaster than the •
ratio of the increase Of employment. A greker
competition is excited and as the profit arising. •
from the buSiness furnished by •an individual
client becomes 'less easy of attainment small
charges are substituted for larger sines, in conse-
quence of the apprehension which is felt that any •
codsparison which may he made on this head will •
furnish matter for serious consideration, in Case
another occasion, requiring professional assistance,
should occur. It is this feeling which restrains:.
the rapacity of individuals ; it is a consciousness...,,
that our private interests will be compromised •
the demands we make on our employers areex-
orbitant, and not any imaginary respectability..,.
which attaches to this or that profession, which
secures the public from imposition. There is art .
almost insatiable desire for an increase of wealth
and its attendant advantages, diffused amongst
those who are seeking a profit from the exercise .
of their'faculties ; and this attractive object .is
pursued in a fain and honourable manner in con-,
sequence of a conviction which is felt that such
the best means of securing its attainment.
I intended to confine my observations to.the
objections which I thought applied at once to the •
principle of the proposed measure.; h cantiot,
however, refrain from maLing one remark on the
means suggested for carrying it into effect., Age
is a very fallible criterion of a man's judgment;__.
A Practitioner of long standing in the Law may ..
not possess half the talent and learning of a C!er s•
whose articles have just expired ; and yet ths'
effect,ofthe proposed regulation 'would be t, ,
condemn every person :who is unfortunate enough..-_,
to be in that ,predicament,, at -the age of 21,- to
lour years additional servitude„

be-advisable to establish. some. mode of ascertain-
iugthe qualifications of,personsintentlingto prac-
tice,.,in order to protect the,interesSs of ..the pub-
lic, grid secure the respectability of the. profession;
but. I should prefer instituting, an examination
somewhat similar to that Which the Professors of
Physic and Divinity 'are obliged to undergo,
rather than to
