Many correspondents have importuned us to give an opinion respecting the regulations said to have been promulgated by the Benchers of the Inner Temple, as their conditions of admission to the honour of being " called to the bar." Till we see some authentic copy of these resolutions, we shall abstain from making any corn-, ment ; but we will say at once, that certain persons—and those not a few—have, during the last ten years, contrived to become enrolled among the members of a learned profession, whom neither education, nor knowledge, nor talents, nor honourable feelings, nor decorous habits, have fitted to belong to any decent, much less to any gentle. manly society.— Times.  Some Continental Papers have lately stated that the hotel of the English Consul at Bucharest has been suddenly closed. They appear to attach a good deal of political importance to that circumstance, and seem anxious that it should be looked upon as implying nothing less than an approaching misunderstanding between this country and Russia. This merely shews how great a disposition there is in some quarters to magnify trifles which can be made to bear reference to the war in the East into events pregnant with great results. For several years past there has been no British Consul resident in Wallachia. When Mr. STRATFORD CANNING commenced, in 1826, the negotiations relative to Greece, his communications with Vienna and England became so frequent, and required so much expedition, that he found it necessary that some one should be stationed at Bucharest to accelerate them, and prevent delays. One of his junior private secretaries was selected to fill that duty. His functions naturally ceased with Mr. CANNING'S resignation of the Constantinople embassy; and as, so long at least as Wallachia and Moldavia remain in the hands of the Russians and the war continues, the service with which he was charged was both unnecessary and impracticable, that gentleman's preparations to quit Bucharest were the consequence of circumstances which had no political hoportance whatever.--Times.  * We perceive from an article in the Courrzer Francais, that the King of the NETHERLANDS has been foiled in his object of making philosophical Priests. The intentions of the KING were, no doubt, good; but we fear he went too directly to work. To make a philosophical Priest is a problem of nearly as great difficulty as to make an honest thief. The best way is to establish an opposition to the Priests. In this country the Clergy of the Established Church were generally hostile to the Hanover family till the last reign. The Government did not compel them to be rational—no easy task—but they shook their authority with the people through the press. One pretension after another was assailed ; and the consequence is, as the Quarterly Review feelingly laments, the last remnant of Apostolical tradition, the venerable shovel hat, is fast disappearing from among us.—Morning Chronicle.  A very strong sensation was created in the Stock Exchange yesterday afternoon, by an intimation that a Mr. SLATFORD, for a number of years an extensive speculator in the Funds, had committed suicide at his lodgings, in the City-road, having, as ascertained, differences to pay, which he was incompetent to meet. Not having reached the market as early as usual on a pay-day, his friends and creditors began to entertain some suspicion that all was not right, and sent to ascertain the cause of his absence at his lodgings, when he sent an answer that he had overslept himself, but would attend in the market at twelve o'clock. This, it would seem was the particular hour when lie destroyed himself by a pistol, the ball of which passed through his head. The event was not known at the Stock Exchange until nearly half-past two o'clock ; when Consols for Account, which had been steady at about 893, dropped to 881—a number of dealers selling Stock against what they had previously bought, which could not be delivered by Mr.
