In the course of his remarks be said: “ic is & mistaken notion, too often ve- leved by young men, that to bea lawyer one Must be an advocate, aud therefore t> become successtui after leaving the law school, one must be au elegant spesker. It is true that mere advocate may easily make a pecuniary sortnne and gain extensive notoriety, but it be is uot something more, his abslities shine bu’ fora day, and he leaves little or no mark be- bind bun. When his contemporaries, who are charmed by bis voice and manner, pass away, Re is forgotten.

The number of advocates, if men who make the agreement of causes a specialty, is by no means large, aud if you all fix your umbition wholly upon the prizes Wich they wim, very many will be doomed todisappomtment.” Mr. W.

Mr. Hill thought it was but a step towards opening the Butchers’ market, a ques- tion which had been seti!ed long ago. Too market, as now fixed, was mterior to aone tn the country, and could no be benefited by the change propored. Mr. Newman thought i: would really benefit the interests ot the town to extend the market limits eastward, and he charged Mr. Hill with being opposed to the bill because it brought the attendants of the market and those bringing uce there in Iront of his osition wonld work to injary of the hucksters and dealers who had already paid for stalls and benches ip the new market.
