Earl •Frrzwiwam, with his accustomed li-
berality, has given directions for a return of fif-
teen per cent. to be made to the- tenants upon his
Malton (Yorkshire) estates, out of the rents clue
last Lady-day. .
Me. Tuoptes ELTON, of Oakthorpe, being the
proprietor of the tythe in that said township,
belonging to the parishes of Greasley and Meas-
ham, in the county of Derby, and • also having
several tenants who occupy land under him, did
at his rent-day last week, volunteer to his said
tenants to reduce their rent and tythe twenty
per cent. from Lady-day last, in consideration of
'the depressed state of agricultural produce.
• At the late, audit of the tenants of Sir P.B. V.
BROKE, Bart. of Broke-hall, Nacton, near
Ipswich, a deduction of 10, and in some in-
stances 15 per cent. .was made upon the rents of
th irespecti ye oc piers.—( Chelms;forAlltronick.)
PREMATURE INTEAMENT.—It appears, by a statement
and affidavits in the IP-e.rford Herald, that the story of a
Welsh 'sailor having been buried aliVe there, as narrated in a
former number of our Paper, was entirely unfounded, the man-
having been undoubtedly dead previous to his interment.
The fifty-third exhibition of the. Royal Aca-
demy closed on Saturday last. The money. paid
at the doors, since its opening this year,.has ex-
ceeded that of any former by at least one
,thou-
sand
pound,

FOR THE SUN.

EARRISTER,S AND ATTORNEYS.

Ebrron—A,Correspondent, in your Pa;
per of ksritlay, respecting the recent exclusion of
Attorneys from the,Students' table at the Inner
Temple, has chosen a•very appropriate signatiwei
M. T., which certrlnly applies very justly to the
letter, as it contains very little in the way of

argument.

Of the value and respectability of the class-of
Gentlemen alluded to no one is more 'sensible
A-ma-myself, and those talents and attainments
which I know them to possess would be neither
checked nor stigmatized by giving them aiseph-
rate table, without associating them with young
men intended for the higher branches of the
Profession. .

At. Lincoln's Inn, and, I believe, other Inns
of Court, this separation has long existed—and
indeed in every liberal profession. the natural
distinction of its ranks has given rise to an eti.;
queue which has never been considered as de-
grading or disrespectful to the lower branches.
The examples cited by your Correspondent,•of
illustrious Characters who have risen from ob-
scurity, would, if we admitted their.
.a.pptication,
teach us to infer, that because that great Lawyer,
SAUNDERS, was once a shoeblack, therefore wc
should net refuse to associate with -shoeblacks—.-
or that because many •of the most distinguished
ArchbiSiors' anit• bishops have been Sizarsor
Servitors; •at Cambridge and Oxford, therefore
Sizars and Servitors are fit companions for our
young Nobility and Gentry at the UniversitY.--:-
I hope, Sir, that I am neither proud, nor an
overweening Aristocrat ; but I know that many
(entlemen have 'been prevented from sending
their sons to the Inner Temple by the circum-
stance alluded to ; and I really think that no
sensible Attorney _can feel hurt at an exclusion
which already existed elsewhere; which deprives
him of no real advantage, and spares him the
mortification of often feeling an inferiority on the
score of rank, where his talent and industry have
made him superior to his companions in every
other respect.—As to the supposed injury re-
specting the right to Commons,-M. T: is in error,
and he must have known it.
