Mr. Serjeant ONSLOW moved foe the appcintment
of a Select Committee, to take into consideration the
state of the laws relating to the admission of Attor-
neys aria Solicitors in that part of the United King-
dom called England, and to report their opinion and
obsetvations thereon to the House. The lion. and
Learned Gentle:loan, in the course of a few prefatory
onservatiops, ?aid, that as the law at present stood nit
person could be admitted as an Attorney or a Solici-
tor, who had nut served a clerkship of live years. One
of the objects he had In view ii as to take off two of
those years in cases in which the individuals had
taken a degree at either of the Utoivetsities; for hr
was persuade'', that in three years a Person so pre.
p tree would heroine quite as well qualified fur the
profession as a ra:v awl inexperieoed young man would
I •nute.ln the five years at present prescribed by law
as the necessary tern of clerkship.
An Honourable 3letober irked, abether the Ho-
nourable and Learned Gentleman intended to apply
his propusition to Consveyancersi but we were unable
to hear the answer.

The motion was then agreed to, and a Select Com-
mittee, composed of met of the legal Ueutletnen in the
House appointed accordingly.
TINIRER TRADE.
General (.144C11YNE, seeieg the Right Iloat
the flee-fleesaent of the hoard of Trade in hil
wished to ask him a eise.tion of considerable haps,-
tancieto a very respectable part of the community. At
the present time, it was well known that the Select
Committee of that Manse on Foreign Trade, were di-
recting their iiiiiiiiries to the subject of the admission
into this country of 'I iniller front America, and from
the European ports. Ile wisivol ti ask the Right
Wm. tienzletnan whether nr not it was intended to
await the reso:t of the del iberatiens of that Committee,
before any proposition was made to Parliament on the
subject ? The trade w..s a• present in great (sneer-
tainty respecting it ; and us the present was the period
in which they generally oeened their correspoildene,
that circumstance reniiered a state of doubt still
more inconvenient. It would, therefore, he a great,
satisfaction to the trade, if the Right IliserieriME
Urntleman would have the goodness to answer SW
inrstion.
Mr. IVALLACE.tras perfectly aware of the great,
anxiety that existed on this subject, and extremely d
airbus that it should be terminated as soon as possible.
It was certainly true, that the Committee on Forelge'
Trade were at prevent especially directing their alien-
nen to the qu?stion adverted to by the lioaorahle
fien-
tleman. It would, however, be impossible for his
Majesty's tiovernment to offer any reconituendatiou on
the subject to Parliament before the expiration of the
existing law; for it would be extremely unfair to sub-
ject any part of the trade to the operation of a mensrie.•
which they were not prepared to expect. Uii&r all
three ci rritinetances of the ease, It might be desirable,
to prolong for a certain period the duration of the ex;
isting law. In his opinion, however, the term oethe
continuance of the existing law should be strictly as*.
fitted to the necessity to which he had already alluded,
of acting with fairness towards those engaged in the'
trade. It was not his intention, therefore, to revolts.
mend to Parliament any exten.*:on of the existing law be-
yond the month of July. He wonlii xi.... his reasons
for axing on that period. He had already declared
hie disposition to confine the extensiou of the exiether
law to the strict necessity of the-ease. There were
two descriptions of trade in timber carried on with'
America. That from the western coast of this country,
the individuals engaged iu w hick made two voyages
in the year; and the other part of the trade, the iosli.
viduals engaged in which confined themselves to oar
voyage. Theohject which he had in view was to give snebll
notice to all name person, is might prerent their making
arrangements, which, withont that notice, they might
base euwettaplated. Now, with respect to thoso who
were in the habit of making two voyages in the year,
tile earlier of those two y Tags-, wash, have been com-
pleted, and the vessels would have retnened by Jnic.
With rere!•tto those individuals who made "het one
'voyage, st)rich was in the latter part of the rear, It.
was n.it necessary that they should sail from title
country befOrs the intentions of Pariiaweut uu the
subject would be declared.
Dotterel 4111SCOYNE said. be could not see whit
the exieviog law might not be prolonged for six toonthes
(ram the 25th of March, the time of its expiration.'
I h it tumid be mach more satisfactory to the parties
interested.
Mr. WALLACg ailherreil to the preference whirl:
he had expressed, fur fixing the switigh of July as the
terns of the (outiaaaave.
Mr. ELLICE seined to reasidee that it would he
very aslesuMiteosts if the Committtle now sitting on
Foreign Trade would make a short Report on this
