LINCOLN'S INN HALL.

The embellishments in the interior of this Hall are
new nearly completed. The partition at the south en-
trance fronting
.the Bench is beautifully ornamented
with the respective arum of the following' distinguished
Mentbers of the Society :—His Majesty King Charles
the. Second, his 'loyal Highness James Duke of
York. f.urd Henry Howard, the Earl of Manchester, the
Earl of Bath, Lord Newport, and Prince Rupert of the
'thine. It appears that the Honourable Society has se-
It rted the shore personale' s for the distinction conferred
methein, out of .21 Priuces and Noblemen, all of whom
were entered members on the saute day, the 29th of Feb-
reary, 1671. The ease of a Royal individual becoming
4 member of one of the Inns of Court being altogether
unprecedented, and, we believe, unexampled, and the
1• l.ition being curious, we shall insert a short account of
the circumstances under which the names of these per-
-I.inages were enrolled, from the .ttlinittattie Book of the
Society. A ftc simile of the signatures is kept in the
library of this Inn.
Sir F. tioodericke, Knt. a King's Counsel, and Soli-
, itor-Beneral to the Duke of York, being reader to the
Ifen. Society at ,this time (1671), invited the King, the
Luke of Yoik, Prince Rupert. and several noblemen of
distinction, to dine in Lincoln's-inu-Hall, on the illeth
of February, 1671. His Majesty made his entrance
itirongle the garden a' the great gate optima% into Chan-
' cry lane, beet Holborn, where he was received by Mr.
Iteader, and the rest of the Bencbera, who attended him
it, the Council Chamber, to the Chapel, anti, lastly, to
tve Hall, between a row of Barristers and Students in
their gowns, the trumpets and kettle-drums playing all
the time from the leads over the highest bay window
•te the middle of the garden building. The King sat
at table, under his canopy of state, the Duke of
' fork being on his right hand, and Prince Rupert at
ti.e other end. He was served by the Reader, as server,
upon his knees, with the towel, before dinner. The
Vealler and some of the Beerhei a, waited near his Ma-
*Jestv's chair ; four other Ilenchers, with white staves,
• trisiiril as controllers of the Hall, to keep good order,
and above fifty of the Barristers and Students attended
• •m waiters, and carried op his Majesty's meat, which
x-ss served npon the knee. The rest of the Barristers
hill Stu:lents waited upon the Lords at their table, the
til,lik consisting of his Majesty's violins, playing all the
tme of dinger at the lower end of the Hall. " Towards
•1.. e end of limier," says the Record, " hili Majesty, to
' it, a transeendent honour and grace to this Society, and
't ' express his moat gracious acceptance of their hum-
. II:e shay and affection towards hint, wts pleased to

' 1 t r thereof, which high and extraordinary favour was
•' stantly acknowledged by all the Members of this So-
' ' , lets. then attending on his Majesty, with all possible
..1 ,r, and received with the greatest and most humble ex-
. t ressions of gratitude. it being an example not prece-
viewed by env former King of this realm. His Royal

this greatest aud highest example, as also the Dukes

~. A a to.t other Lords, who, before his Majesty's rising from
. ..dttsner' borrowed gowns of the students, and put them
.•
, art and in those gowns waited on his Majesty, with
...irl:iela his Majesty was much delighted. The King then
ib...ran a health to the welfare of the Society, and caused
,a..
it 1., be pledged in his own presence. The Reader then
',tit tined leave to grim his Majesty's health, and to be-

, f !Limber, and the coachmen and lacqueys in the gas-
' is •sier's house, " Wait% their tiententment." Ou'thelia-
.ritisy following his. Majesty was waited on by a dips-
;etion from the Society, to express their sense of the
hizti honour which he had conferred on them, and they
,"ere allowed to kiln his head. Among the persons who

Though the tide of prosperity, therefore, should re-
turn upon us, with a luxuriant fulness, equal to the
highest expectation of the must sanguine ; though the
revenue of the country should rise beyond its expendi-
ture, so greatly, that a reasonable hope might be enter-
mimed of the gradual extinction of the public debt, yet
the *ANT Or ILIMATIIIZTIT will be found, ender the pre
sent system of our agricultural sad commercial opera-
tions, almost insuperable. A remedy fur this great and
alarming evil, has become, then. one of the moat im-
portant and serious subjects to which the earnest atten-
tion of tiovernment, the Legislature, and the People can
be directed. It will be of litite avail, that our commodi-
ties crowd the ports of the world, if our population
languish under increasing privations; if we conquer
all our foreign enemies, yet have nut energy to over-
come our domestic distresses. The sitnatton of Ew
tope, and the friendly dispositions of America,' as
manifested in the speech of Mr. Monroe, assure us
of a lung and profound peace. As we are nnem-
ployed in the work of destruction abroad, let us be busy
in that of beneficence at home. Let us employ the hap-
py interval of peace, with which the mercy of a benign
Providence has blessed es, in removing from the richest
and most powerful of the kingdoms of the earth, the
reproach that so many of her sons, in the midst of her
redundant wealth, are steeped in poverty • and let us af-
ford the strength of competency and I;ealtikohtring
peace, to those arms, now enfeebled by want,Nitsich
constitutes our sinews in times of war. ,Pa,', - .
We rejoice to hear, that it Is the intention ofillatiters,
immediately upon the re-assembling of Parliamenf.."te,
move for a Committee of Inquiry into the causes of the
present distress, and into the best means of giving ,
ployinent to the poor. It is a matter which has he-
' came imperative. The evil of pauperism has grown
with our very strength, threatening, at length, to tear
the vitals of die country with domestic dissensions—en-
dangering the Constitution, from the struggle excited
between the law and the principles of anarchy—tad
rapidly involving the middle and upper classes them-
selves within its withering influence. It is fervently to
be hoped, therefore, that some adequate measure of relief
and cure will be attempted. The disease is desperate;
and the remedy, if not desperate. ought at least to be
powerful. and ought not to be disregarded, because
some degree of boldness may be necessary in its appli-
cation.
The plan of Mr. Owen has been submitted both to
Parliament and to the people. The latter, though they
have not rejected its adoption, have yet not COON for-
ward with sufficient funds for making the experiment.
To us, this seems an unaccountable infatuation. One-
