HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY.
:ming .. 6 minutes after )1 I Evening .. 40 minutes after IL

sage of Railway Bills through the House, were then
agreed to, after a short discussion. _ _ .

Mr. MILNER GIBSON then moved for a Select Com-
mittee to inquire into the allegations in the petition of
Culonel LAUTOUR, complainingof the manner in v. hich
he had been treated by the Government in relation to
certain lands granted to him at the Swan River.
After a short explanation from Mr. HOPE the motion
was withdrawn.

The report of the Committee of Supply was brought
up and agreed to, and the House adjourned.

The Oxford Circuit, it appears, have come to a reso-
lution to exclude from its bar-mess any of its members
who are connected with the public press. As it is
highly fitting that the locality, as well as the date of
any very momentous event should be faithfully recorded,
we deem it n(cessary to state that this decree of ex-
communication was fulminated in the ancient city of
Shrewsbury—hitherto memorable by no more dignified
associations than those which connect themselves with
such events as the fight between the Ifo,:ses of Lan-
cister and Northumberland—the progress of the young

Harry of Monmouth, or the bloody death of Harry
Hotspur. It will now be remembered as the scene of
one of those awful sentences of exclusion and separation,
the terror of which survives to a remote posterity,
as it reads with reverence and awe the mighty doings of
the great men of former ages. Our readers are probably
aware that it has long been the custom of the principal
London newspapers to take their reports of the causes
tried in various parts of ;,he kingdom, before the judges
of assize, and of the proceedings in other (provin-
cial) courts, from gentlemen who are barristers, for
the most part practising on such circuits, and whose con-
nexion, for these purposes, with the metropolitan
journals, arises out of the fact of their having been, at
some former period, attached to one of the several corps
of London Parliamentary reporters. In other instances,
it is perfectly well known that these barristers. although
in practice in the law courts, and entered of such
circuits, still retain this connexion of Parliamentary re-
porters with the newspapers. In the latter capacity, it
is scarcely possible for men of somewhat more than ave-
rage talent and quickness, not to acquire a far deeper
insight, into the course of public business—the
history and bearing of passing events—the arguments
for and against particular measures of legislation, or
lines of foreign and domestic policy still pending or re-
cently adopted—and the springs and motives of the con-
duct of living statesmen—than gentlemen, the whole of
whose practical exporierce of the business of the world
and the characters of men, is limited to that which is to
be acquired within the four walls of a law court, the se-
clusion of chambers, their daily tour in term time be-
tween the one and the other, and the travelling observa-
tions of the most important periodical excitement of

their existence—going the circtiit. On circuit, therefore,
the majority of the members of a bar-mess will be found
a company of well-behaved gentlemen, whose conversa-
tion is either the most insipid or the most technical in

the world,—limited, in the one case, to college
reminiscences of the stupendous attainments of " read-
ing-men," and the stupendous sprees and follies
of " gay men ;" the wine parties given in A. B.'s rooms.
--the card parties at C. D.'s ; or, in the other case, their
conversation is limited to the discussion of this or that
issue, the argument of the counsel, and the charge of
the judge. The fact is, that, taken as a body, practising
barristers have about the least share of general informa-
tion, the most contracted acquirements in general sci-
ence, the most uninformed and prejudiced views o❑ all
general questions that lie dehors the little circle of the
legal business with which they are connected, or to
which their attention has been directed, than any branch
of the other liberal professions can be reproached with.
It is nahing to the purpose to talk of the scientific at-
tainments of the LYNDHURSTS, the BRUCES, the Pot,

LOCKS, the ALDERSONS, the PARKES, and the MAULES,
on the Bench ; or the very few conspicuous men now
below it, who are worthily following in the footsteps
of the late Sir WILLIAM FOLLETT, or the • present
Mr. PE3IBERTON LEIGH, manifesting the highest
cultivation of intellect and extension of knowledge,
w:th the mos; profound and intimate acquaintance with
the theory of law. and of the professional practice de.
voted to their practical exposition end application.

But the nan.ter-Pll is soon called over ; and when t.hv

and a few more the same eminence are told off, th' re
remain not practitioners enough to supply the skeleton
of another company. All the remaining " rank and
file" are not only men of common-place, and even in-
ferior learning or knowledge, in the largest sense of
those terms—but men who will boast, as we ourselves
have heard an eminent judge boast, who now presiles
over one of the most important tribunals of the Kingdom,
when, as opposing counsel, he had to reply to a Learned
13, other (an " Oxford man," too,) who had aptly quoted
in the course of his argument a passage from Horace
(" ad Pisonem ;") that " Thank God, they know
nothing but law." Whether it is a sense of these and
similar deficiencies which creates in the majority of the
members of a bar-mess the sort of prejudice and
that they have long manifested of the two or three mem-
bers of it who may happen to be connected with the
newspapers, we will not undertake to determine. But
since this hostility, although but recently developed at
Shrewsbury, is of many years' standing, and appears to
have already pervaded the bar-messes of other circuits,
we think it but fair to stigmatize it as the miserable
ebullition of a petty and disgraceful jealousy. Jealousy,
it may be, on the part of the briefless, of those who
have, in these newspaper connexions, permanent re-
sources beyond their professional earnings, or, on the
part of those who do hold briefs, of men that have a ca-
pacity which can travel beyond their contents or the
pleadings founded upon them. A Learned Chief Baron,
not long since deceased, before his elevation to the
Bench, entertained, as we have reason to know, similar
intentions to that on which the Shrewsbury sages have
acted, but neither to this extent, nor to the disqualifying
men, previously connected with the press, from being
called to the bar, did that learned individual ever suc-
ceed in giving effect to his object.
On the particular circumstances out of which this re-
solution of the Oxford bar-mess arose, we shall not
animadvert, except to observe that if the alleged
ground of the resolution be the true one, it manifestly
involves an act of the most signal injustice and insult to
the whole number of those barristers who have any
connexion with the press, on account of the unfair con-
duct charged upon one individual of that number. If
the alleged ground of the " resolution " be not the true
one,—then is the whole proceeding a miserable and un-
worthy attempt to conceal the principle of the animosity
entertained, under a quibble to which an assembly of
gentlemen should have been ashamed to resort.
We have all respect for Mr. Sergeant TAL•
rouaD, as a very amiable gentleman, a man
of letters, and an upright lawyer ; and we imagine
that the professional friends, who possess the advan-
tage of his personal friendship, may have felt warmly,
and earnestly resented, the supposed designed omission
of his name from the law reports supplied by a member
of the Oxford Circuit, to our most influential Contem-

porary. But the bar-mess, to justify their " resolution "

of excluding all other barristers of similar connexions,
could have been justified only by being in a condition to
show that these latter, as a body, adopt the practice of
suppressing names in respect of the same Learned Gen-
tleman, or others of the same profession. But, to take
for granted that such must be the case, is just as objec-
tionable as if we were to form our judgment of the gene-
ral spirit of a liberal profession from the paltry conduct
of a handful of such illiberal members of it as the bar-
mess of the Oxford Circuit. If, as we shrewdly suspects
the true moving cause of this " resolution " be a
feeling of personal jealousy on the part of the " finer
gentleman "of the Circuit—of those who are reluc-
tant that " working gentlemen" who honourably
supplement their want of private patrimony by under-
taking the duties of a laborious, responsible, and im-
portant vocation, to the due and honest discharge of
which the most distinguished members of the bar are
largely indebted, not only for their professional reputa-
tion, but for the professional incomes they earn—we tell
the parties concerned in the transaction that they will
have to retrace the step they have taken. Public opi-
nion will not endure it. Professional liberality will not
confirm it. Barristers who report, or have reported, for
thg public press, will continue to " stand between the
wind and their gentility " with as much meritorious
ambition to achieve, and as much unwearied enerzy in
accomplishing professional distinction, and even legis-
lative eminence, as the gifted owners of those illustrious
names which are entered on the records of the same
career as that they have adopted. It can never be
matter of reproach with the wise or the good, the
learned or the leaders in the noblest branch of civil
institutions, to have selected the same path and trodden
in the same footsteps which Dr. CAMPBELL, and Dr-
JOHNSON, BURKE, MACKINTOSH, DOUGLAS, and WOOD-
FALL, among those who are no more, and titled and
ennobled individuals among their survivors and suc-
cessors who still remain among us—have followed with
honour to themselves and advantage to the public, as
the high road to that preferment and eminence which
they have adorned and illustrated by their preferment
to them.

Madrid journals of the 21st have arrived.
The insurrection in Catalonia may be considered as termi-
nated.
The Castellano and the Posdata both affirm that M. CAS-
FILLO Y AYENSA, the Spanish Ambassador at Rome, had re-

ceived positive orders from his Government to demand his
passports, should he see no hope of obtaining the uncondi-
tional acknowledgment of ISABELLA H. from the Holy See.
The Tiempo announces that the Ministers were to set out
that very day forSaragoisa. It was reported in Madrid that
the object of this journey was to endeavour to induce her
MAJESTY to forego her visit to the Basque provinces, and
that in case her MAJESTY should persist in her determina-
tion, the Ministers would tender their resignations.
According to the Espanol the new system of taxation had
met with a vigorous opposition in Catalonia, Gallicia, Castile,
and Andalusia.

We have received the Paris papers of Sunday.
The death of M. Lau still continues to be the subject of
comment in all these journals. The Constitutionnel says—

" The authorities of Lucerne have caused a post Mortem exa-
mination of the body to be made by two physicians of their own
appointment. According to their report, which, however, is as
yet but imperfectly known, the ball which caused his death en-
tered In a nearly horizontal direction, and, after having shattered
the heart, passed out near the left shoulder. The opinion of the
physicians is, that from the direction of the wound, the crime must
have been committed by some other hand than that of the deceased.
The judicial inquiries prove that all the doors and windows of the
house were closed, but no mention is made of any arms having
been found in the chamber of the deceased, although the inhabit.
ants of the house adirtn that they saw a pistol lying on the ground
close to the bed. This affsir is still involved In obscurity, which
threatens to increase rather than to diminish, as the cat. ton of
Lucerne has neglected the only means of clearing up doubts in
the minds of the population of Switzerland, by calling in to assist
at the inquiry and at the port 'Norton examination persons un.
connected with the canton."

The Jesuits' organ, the Gazette of Lucerne, is perfectly
rabid in its cries for vengeance. We give one or two ex-
amples of the style of this religious firebrand :—•' Who is
not for us is against us The enemies of
the Church and of the country shall learn that the blood of
our fathers must be visited on their heads." After insinu-
ating that certain other Jesuit chiefs are in danger, it adds :
—" A t least one hundred heads of these execrable setdes
(the Radicals), who dishonour Switzerland, shall pay for
their sacred lives. The people will purge our soil of
these cannibals." After elevating M. LEu to the dignity
of a martyr, the Gazette de Lucerne goes on to state that
he is a companion of the blessed NICHOLAS, that other
patron of Switzerland."
TI-e Journal des Debats, in an admirable article, rebukes
the infernal spirit by which it would appear that the ultras of
both parties in Switzerland are actuated, and it calls upon all
sensible men in that country to interfere to save their native
land from the bigots on the one hand, and from the revolu-
tionists on the other.

It appears from the New Zurich Gazette, that the funeral
of M. Lau, which took place on the 22d, at Hochford, was
attended by about 1,000 persons.
It is stated in the Gazette de Bale of the 24th that the
assassin of M. LEV' had been apprehended, but had escaped.
His name is REDUNGER. He was a labourer in the
employ of the deceased, of whom he had borrowed
money, the repayment of which M. LEU had recently de-
manded. The murderer said that he had used an old musket
to fire the fatal shot.

The total value of the commerce of France during the year
1844, as appears by a return published in the Moniteur, was
2,347,000,000 of francs, being two-thirds of that of England,
double that of the United States, and double that of the
German CustoMs Union.

The statue of. the Duke of ORLE,INS was erected in the
Court of the Louvre on Saturday.

Letters from Tunis of the 11th, published in the Courier de
Marseille, contain no allusion to the report published in the
Phare des Pyrenee's of the commencement of hostilities be-
tween Tunis and Tripoli.
No business was done at TORTONI'S on Sunday.

LONDON AND BLACKWALL
RAIL WA Y•

A special meeting of the Directors and Shareholders of the Lon-
don and Blackwall Railway Company was held yes erday at the Lon.
don Lavern, Bishopsgate.street, for the purpose, as the advertise-
ment stated, "of taking into consideration the report of the Direc.
tors on the proposed extension of the line to Epping." There was
a very numerous and respectable attendance of Shareholders.
Mr. Daniels, Chairtmn of the Boatel of Directors, took the
chair, and the Secretary read the advertisement calling the
meeting, and also the report of the Dirt Mors, recommending the
course the Shareholders ought to pursue. When the report had
been read,

The CHAIRMAN then briefly addressed the meeting. He con-
gratu Ated the Shareholders upon the prosperous position of their
affairs. He had no doubt but that their present terminus would
bring to it alt the traffic of the West.end, and that it would
render unnecessary a station at Farringdon.street; a project
for the formation of which a Bill had been before a
Committee this session, but had been deferred for
another session. The Blackwall terminus had many ad-
vantages, amongst which were, that it formed not only the north-
ern terminus for the traffic of the City, but would also be a direct
means of communication with the west-end, when the project now
in progress should have been completed ; and that he conceived
was a matter of vast importance. Having disposed of this
point, he next calved the attention of the meeting to the sub-
ject then under consideration, namely, that of taking up
the junction from Stepney to Old Ford. The Directors had taken
a great responsibility upon themselves in recommending the adop-
tion of this plan, but they felt assured the Shareholders would
concur with them when they considered the importance of the pro.
ject. He concluded by proposing a resolution embodying the
above proposition.
Dr. Bowersio, M.P., seconded the adoption of the resolution,
and in doing so expressed his admiration of the unanimity of feel.
ing that he was so fortunate as to have witnessed in the Board of
Directors in all their proceedings.
The resolution was then put and carried unanimously, after
which a vote of thanks was passed to the Chairman and Directors
for the care they had taken of the interests of the Shareholders,
and the meeting then separated.

We understand that the allotment of Shares in the South
Midland is likely to be questioned before the Parliamentary
Committee which may be appointed to report upon the prac-
ticability of the undertaking, by a gentleman who was al-
lotted some shares by a leading Director, but which have
been cancelled by the other Directors, without assigning- any
reason,
except that they wanted them for their own ad-
vantage.
There have not been any arrivals of importance this morn-
ing. In fact, it must be a very important piece of in-
formation indeed that would induce the great portion of the
speculators of the City to refrain fr •rn railway share trans-
actions, such is the desire to deal in t his species of investment.
The Consol Marl,et is robe,- flat this morning, owing to
the continued variable state of the weather. For the Account
the price has been at 98%, and for immediate transfer at a ,
fall to 98%. Only a few bargains have been made in the

New Three-apd-a-Quarter per Cents., at 102% to 102. i.
The premium on Exchequer-bills is also lower. Bank Stock
has receded to 21034.
The principal variations in the Foreign Stocks have been a

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LlFE.—Monday the mar-
rriage of the Lady Mary Agar, only daughter of the Earl of Nor.
manton, with the Earl Nelson, waa solemnised at St. George's
Church, Hanover-square.

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge's
•isit to Mr. Sloane Stanley, at Poulton', near Romsey, was fbr
the purpose of taking the usual oaths and other formalities on his
appointment as Lord Warden of the New Forest, in the room of
the late Right Hon, Sturges Bourne.

BATTERSEA FAlR.—Notwithstanding the applica-
tion to the magistrates on Saturday, at Wandsworth, to prevent
a fair being held in Battersea-fields, the proprietors of exhibitions,
booths, &c., ere in no way dismayed, and the sports at twelve
o'clock on Monday commenced, which will be continued for the
three following days. The attendance of persons was considerably
greater than was anticipated, the proceedings before the magistrates
having served the purpose of an advertisement.

ARRIVAL OF THE 13TH FOOT FROM INDIA.—Early
On Monday morning, the ship Cornwall arrived In the river off
Gravesend from India, with a portion of the 13th Regiment of
Foot, which, according to the list, has been on service in the Indian
territories for more than twenty.two years, having left this country
in January, 1823. This regiment, it will be remembered, greatly
distinguished itself during the recent Indian war, more especially
al A frghanistan. Ghusnee, Jellalabad, and Caubul. In the course
of the day the troops were disembarked, and proceeded to the depot
of the corps.

A NEW MANCHESTER EXCHANGE.—A short time
since we announced the intention of the proprietors of
the present Exchange to enlarge the building to a consi-
derable extent, and gave the particulars of their plans in
furtherance of their intention ; we have now to announce
the intention of a separate and independent party to erect
an entirely nem building, in the neighbourhood of High-
street. We had yesterday an opportunity of inspecting a
drawing of the intended elevation, which, if carried out,
will be a very great ornament to the town—indeed, we have
no building in Manchester that can at all be compared with
it ; it bears some resemblance in form to the Liverpool
Custom House, hut is altogether a very superior and hand-
some structure, of two stories. The site is at the upper end
of Market-street, High-street, Cannon-street, and Palace-
street, covering Marsden-square, the whole of the shop-
warehouse and other property within those limits having to
come down. The building is to form three sides of a square,
having the open or principal front to face into High-street ;
the open space in front, of the centre and between the two
wings will be a raised stone platform, to be approached
by a handsome flight of steps from High-street, for the
convenience of the congregated merchants and manufac-
turers during change hours. The news room is to occupy
the. Market-street side of the square or wing occupying two
stories, thus forming a spacious and lofty room, lighted by
three domes and the side-lights ; the size of this room will be
nesrly the same as the large room at Exeter Hall, London,
about 12,000 square feet ; the approach to it is made by three
entrances from Market-street. The centre of the building on
both stories will be converted into offices, which will be let
off for mercantile purposes. The northern, or Cannon-street
wing, will farm a Stock Exchange, and a public mercan-
tile sales room; above these rooms, on the second story,
will be a large room of corresponding dimensions with the
news-room in the other wing, which will be a public room ap-
plicable to the purposes of a large music-room, or public
meetings, or it will be divisible into three rooms, as occasion
may require. Frrm the above sketch it will be readily con-
ceived that the erection will not be made at a slight expense,
and it is intended to accomplish the object by means of a com-
pany to rai3e 200,000/. in 25/. shares ; the company is already
provisionally registered in accordance with the new Act, and
the projectors have received every encouragement from all
quarters where the matter has been mentioned. It will be
brought more prominently forward, we understand, in a few
days.—Manchester Courier.
Ti-e will of the late John Marshall, Esq., of Hall-

steads, in the parish of Greystoke, Cumb,:rland, was proved on the
4th inst. His personal property withi❑ the province of Canter-
