war Manchester, prior to the departure of the two first regiments,
who have received orders :o embark for Dublin on Monday next.
The day was remarkably hat, and the review presented a scene of
uncommon animation and grandeur. At kaU.past one o'clock
General Bound, appeared upon the ground. accompanied by a
strong escort of Officers, and the troops performed a variety of
evolutions with fine precision. A division they took place and a
sham engagement was kept up between the parties with infinite
spirit for the space of three quarters of an hour. The Artillery
was stationed in frost of the fines of each of the seatencUng parties,
and a rapid fire was exchanged. The Regimeut of Dragoons pro-
ceeded to attack a line of Light Infantry ; but the latter on the
alert, immediately fixed bayonets. formed a square kneeling, and
fired a volley, which compelled the former to make a hasty retreat.
Detachments of Infantry, soder the command of Officers, were
dispatched to various parts of the Moor, when skirmishes took
place, together with the capture of men and Ulcers ; indeed. the
continual roar of the cannon, and succession of musket-firing from
all parts, gave the ipectators a most excellent idea of the horrors of
a real conflict.

facility and as much correctness as if she had been tracing these of
my countenance. I was certainly astonished at her penetration ;
but I have no doubt, that in judging of the characters of strangers,
her Ladyship " consults the stars" kin than the features of the
person whose intellect she wishes to ascertain. For seven hours
that I bad the honour of sitting with her Ladyship, there never
was a pause in the conversation. Every subject connected with
Oriental learning was discussed, and every observation of bet
Ladyship evinced a degree ot genius that astonished me, sod was
couched in such forcible and energetic language as to impress me
with the kiss that I was conversing with a woman of no ordinary
intellect- The peculiarity of some of her opinions in no wise de-
tracted from the general profundity of her reflections ; and. though
I could not assent to many of her abstract notions regarding astral
influence and astrological science, I had still no reason to alter my
opinion of her exalted talents, though it might appear they were
unfortunately directed to very speculative studies.—Medaines Evan.

PROJECTED CHANGES AT THE INNER
TPIPLE.

The &flowing is en abridged statement of a paper which
is just now making the round of the daily prints :-
1 A strong sensation has been excited dorialg the last week amongst
the members of the Inner Temple by the promulgation of some
new regulations for the admission of membets to the bar. The
feeling excited on the occasion has been most considerable amongst
persons practising below the bar, including attornies, against whom,
particularly, the new regulations (as it is inferred from their obvious
effect) are directed. The regulations adopted by the benchers of
the inn, and said to have been made known by the under treasurer
to the member., upon inquiry, are principally, that no one shall he
I admitted a member of the inn, for the purpose of being called to
the bar, without undergoing a previous examination a. to his know-
ledge of the Greek and Latin classic., and of general literature;
I that before be is paled to the bar he shall undergo a secopd exam'?
nation In the daisies, in general literature, and in law, by appointed
examiners ; that after be has received a certificate as to his profit
cieney from these examiners he mutt undergo a final examination
by the benchers' who, if they are satisfied in these, and other re,
spects, as to thecandolate's respectability, will can him to the bar.
There are to be four examiner., of whom two are stated to be apt
pointed—Mr. R. H. Alderson and Mr. Richards. The two other
examiners have not yet been named officially, but it is rumoured
Stoat the son of Sir James Scarlet 'sat present in view as one of them.
In the entry on the numbers no exception is made in favour of
the present member of the ino, and It is understood that the mea-
sure is to operate retrospectively towards all who expect to be called
to the bar. So far these regulations are officially promulgated, bpi
the details do not appear yet settled —Under the existing regalia.
tons of the ions of court no member who is, or has been a prat-
thing attorney, can be called to the bar, until Ms same has been
taken off two years from the tolls of the enacts of Wesendostet.—
The lame regulation extends to articled clerks,—lt is stated as an
order, which will shortly be put in operation, that 119 soliCitor, ate
torney, or articled clerk whatever, shall be admitted a member of
the inn ; and that no person who has serves} in apy cane of those
capacities shall be called to the bar, unless he have bad his name
taken from the rolls, or his articles of clerkship have hew caacelled
three years before he applies to be admitted to the inn.
The effect of 'be propo ed legal es =loads* would be to give an
immense.accession of patronage to the bencbers or the leading
members of the bar. Where difficulties are placed in the way of
admission, there must be continual spplkatioos and solicitations
from fatuities of rook to those who have The power to remove the
obstructions, and make easy •he road to advancement. One great
source emolument in 'lt- profession is the feta on premiums re-
coved from pupils. The abaft of the 1,0 betichin is in the
greater number of instances determined by slight circumstances.
Where a legal professor is known to have strong connections. or to
be in favpior with 'hose who exercise an irresponsible power of ad-
mission, be will necesssanly obi do a conaiderAir preference urn
other professors who are not equally favoured. One a.f the pro-
posed vitamin/14 has pupils. It has been stated as the declared inr
tention of more tbao one of the members to call no one to the bar
who is not possessed of a certain asnoptit of property. One limber
has, it is understood, declared that he will sail no one who is pee
mooed of less than 4001, per annum, and it was stated during the
last term to be in contemplation to require from each applicant for
admission a schedule of his property, in flail that the respectability
of the bar might be maintained. it is nated, however, at tbe
Treasurer's sake, that no such order is at preaent entered on the
books. It is, nevertheless, believed from the inquiries made of
those recently called to the bar that an underatanding equivalent to
an order exists amongst the bencbers that some qualifications of
this nature will be required. One member, the sins of a tradesman,
was remanded, as it was understood in the hall, ontil it was ricer,
tamed that he had exercised no profitable employment, and bad
lived town his property during the time be kept his terms. Anon
ther member, recently called to the bar. was vestioned u to bis
private life and circumstances, bis property, his morals, whether be
was married or single, and as to hie religion,
The reputed leading promoters of the new orclers In the courts,
Sir James Scarlett and Mr. John Willl.ms, have, It is in courtesy
presumed, for their sole intention to maintain the respectability of
the bar (according to their notion, of respectability); and to pro-
cure for the public an additional supply of legal taleot. But if it
be so, it is complained that they have been peculiarly unfortunate
in the choice of their measqres, 'fhe greatest skill must attend the
most extensive practice, and there will of coarse be the utmost
diligeoce where there is the strongest motir. By requiring an
attorney to give up practice for two or three years before be $ adr
trotted, so much practical skill as that length of increased practice
would give, is lost, and all his pro :moldy acouved practical skill is
impaired. The rule also shuts out those who awe nor property to
enable them to maintain themselves during the probationary period,
and encounter the risks of failure. By sequin g a proficiency In
Greek, general literatpre. and Latin, so much dine as the acquisi-
tion of the proficiency will absorb is taken from the acquisition of
legal knowledge. By expressly or implied!), requiring qualifies-
slops as to property, those are excluded who have the greatest
motive for exertion.

If stick regulailons as those proposed bad formerly been carried
into operation in their full spirit, they would have escluded the
greatest ornaments of the bench and the b..r.

and small dealer in MIS at Newcastle. Lord Stowell borrowed

PRICIC SKVENPENCK.

Hardwick* was a peasant, and afterwards an attorney's writes and
office-boy. Lord Tburlow himself, an illustration of bis own rule,
used to say, that the surest cause of sweats' to a barrister ws-.
" parts and poverty." When Erskine and Curran once dined wi
his present Majesty. then Prince of Wales, the Prince gave a toa*,.
" The bar." Erskine said he owed every thing to the bar; tort
Curran added,'' Then what may I say, since it bas raised me (tom
the condition of a peasant to the table of my prince?"
It is alleged, as a ground for these proceedings, that the profes-
sion of the law is at present overstocked. It has not been acknow-
ledged by tbe public or by suitors that it is overstocked with taleut.
It is admitted to be now, as it ever has been, to a strater or less
degree, overstocked by numbers, and so is every other lei4sug
avocation. But it is asked, would it be desirable that a voiunt sr.-
and irresponsible association of merchants, (or Matinee. should by
entrusted with the power of admitting persons to competition In
commercial pursuits ; and would it be thought that they acted
eieaciou►ly and for the public good if they exacted, as qualifica
dons, an attention to the ornamental arts, never called for in mer-
cantile affairs. Greek and general literature, and should *mote-
nasce no candidate but those of fair pedigree, who had means
sulkiest ro enable them to dispense with the painful labour requi-
site for further acquisitions?
There are men below the bar of longer standing, of more eat-P -
sive practice, and, it is to be presumed, therefore, of higher ac-
quirements, don any who are likely to accept the situations of
stipendiary examiners. These will not be inclined to submit to
regulations which will subject them to the liability of the opera-
tion of professional jealousies. Several members, whsie talents
have already been manifested, and who are not driven. daerig krgens
ketone egatas, have expressed their determination not to submit to
give their sanction to rules of invidious exclusion, mute worthy of
a low craft than of a liberal profession. They spurn attempts to
introduce a system which, in their opinion. would degrade tbebir,
by rendering the success of its members more dependant on adven-
titious circumstance, than on intellectual merit.
