ATTDRNIEs AND SOLICITORS.—The legal profession of
this neighbourhood are perhaps not aware that a bill bas pas-
sed the House of Lords, and through a committee of the
House of Commons, entitled " A Biil for consolidating and
amending several of the Laws relating to Attornies and Soli-
citors practising in England and Vales, which, it is be-
lieved, will seriously affect the practitioners in the Courts of
Pleas at Durham and Lancaster. The profession in Lancas-
ter have caught the alarm, and are exerting themselves to
procure the insertion of clauses retaining the same faties
as now exist for the admission of attornies and solicitors into
the palatine courts ; and if the profession in this county are
lesirous of protecting themselves and assisting their bre-
hren of Lancaster. it will be necessary that they exert them
--s without delay. The report is not yet brought up, and
exertion may, therefore, yet prove successful.—

Tavern, for the purpose of presenting a magnificent piece of
plate which had been voted to Sir John Pirie, Bart., and Lady
Pine on the Ist of December, 1842, in testimony of the cour-
teous, exemplary, and distinguished mariner in which they
sustained their high honours and discharged their important
duties as Lord Mayor and Lady Mayoress of the city of Lon-
don. Mr. Cotton, the governor of the Bank of England, in the
chair. After the usual loyal and constitutional toasts, the
chairman rose, and presented the plate, and Sir John acknow
ledged the honour with great feeling. The plate consists of
a centre-piece candelabrum and epergne, with branches for
six lights, richly chased; a beautifully-modelled and richlV-
chased oak and thistle venison-dish, and a warmer for the
same with handles and feet ; four double corner dishes and
