the House of Delegates.
Mr.. Leigh (the Managers having organized)
addressed them i'll a speech of near four hours in
length. admirable in temper, fellctons in style,
and potent in argument. Having been under the
necessity of presenting the same views SO often,
all apprehended that Mr.. Leigh's argument
would fall ON the ear with the heayiness of
ce-told tale, yet all admitted that he ecipsed
former displays, and the vigor of the effort was
propor.lonate to the exigency of the occasion,
and to the high expectation manifested by the
popular attendance.
When Mr.. Leigh had concluded, he tender

compromise, in effect, that the number Of Cir
cults should be eieren, and the number of Judges
weafy-t,Uo--instead of IL Circuits, and "a

Lord Lyndhurst has been sitting, for some days
past, in the little Hall Of Gray's Inn, where his
Lordshlp'S Court presented a marked contrast
with that over which he lately presided. His
Lordshipis seated at a table on the floor of the
Hall, with the officers of the court near him; the
rest of the family party (for it really looks like
one,) being composed Of some halEdozen barris-
tiers, an equal number of attorneys, two or three
attorneys clerks, and perhaps solitary spec
tator. There are no noisy interruptions, no calls
for silence; indeed, Grays Inn Hall appears to be
a perfect terra incognito to those worthy gossips
whose S sweet voices" have proved Il source of
