TO Till IDITOR OF Till ZIFIVIAL SIR,—In the course of your able and useful counnoutal ea Mr. Edwin James's era, you remark that i< the beechen of the Inner Temple lied done their duty on the occasion of Mr. eraufard's motion, the career of Mr. James might have bon less discreditable. The present dttorneytieneral, who represented the bench in the House of Conimoos on that occa►iuo, confined himself to a statement that the lure fact of exclusion, or. which Mr. Craufurd relied, proved nothing, the mode of action being by ballot, ea at a club. The fault lay, and his stdl, with the main body of thew banchers, who, in their capacity of trustees for the public, persist in a mode of election which deprives their conclusions of all moral force, and even pre cludes italuiry, fur inquiry would be en additional wrong, unless mesas ware taken for securing an open and respon sible decision. It is matter of notoriety th►t a Queen's counsel of social cad literary reputation was excluded by a single black ball, yet though the bar petitioned against and the judges May seademeed the practice of which he oomplaiDed, and the prise, with a rare tuisuimity, took up his cause, the suede of election is dill by ballot; and if only half the exist• lag benchers were preseut (not a rare occurrence), a single blackball might exclude still. At the other three inns of exert the election to the bench is open, sod by the majority. At either of these, therefore, exclusion from the bench would here the moral force it ought to hare. At the laser Temple it ought b commou justice to carry se more weight than an exclusion from Brooks's or the Travelleff% The late Sir W. Bore was excluded without the pretence of a cause, and was soon afterwards appointed chief justice of Ceylon without objectioo.—l am, der., A BARRISTER OF THE INNER TEMYLE. Temple, Feb. S. THU INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION.-011 Saturday the waters dome, so far as its wide feature of construction are coecerued, was completed. At three o'clock the ceo• treinga, or supports, of the twelve ribs were keocked away, and the immense mass of metal rood for the first time supported alone by the columns end grimed girders. When the supports were removed, ►nd the whole weight of the dome was thrown on to the columns, the enormous maw deflected only oeoeighth of an inch. At the time of striking away the blocks, or wedge., there were prevent Mr. Thomas Fairbairn, Mr. Baker, engineer to the loodou sod North Western Railway; Mr. Peter Rolt, of the Thames Iron Work■ ; Captain Ford, Mr. Meeson, and several other geode men interested io the program of the works. Those who were present at the ceremony ware hoisted to the crown of the dome by a square woolen box, and the tedium ascent by ladders was thus avoided. The first piece of this dome was raised ie. the 7th of December, so that the largest dome is the world barn been completed, so far as the iron work is concerued, in 62 days. There still remains the glazing and some of the minor portions of the work to be completed, bet the big dome" is practically finished. Two months will probably elapse before the domes are entirely finished SDd pointed and the immense timber staging is removed. Morn r. CITY OT COLLEI&; LEADENHALL- FtrateT.

Preparations having been made for popular manifestationi in this city similar to those which have recently taken place in several Italian towns, the municipality have published a proclamation, stating that demonstrations in the public streets were useless, and advising the Milanese to exercise their constitutional rights by signing the following protest : " Although respecting the Sovereign PointiS as the heed of the church, we look upon Rome as the capital of Italy, with one King, Victor Emmanuel."

A reception of quite a different character seems to await that law ha the Deputies, who have sent it fur examination to a committee, of which the reporters on the budget form a part ; the Chamber thus wishing to main tain the intimate connexion that exists between the two questions.

Cbeepbell, Bart, ao., tin A Meissoir of Lord Macaulay. By the Very Rev. the DIAN of Sr. Paces. Reprinted from the Papers of the Royal Society. Longman'. The Dean of St. Paul's baa rendered a welcome service to the lovers of English literature in re printing this short biographical sketch of his life long friend, Lord Macaulay. Having been written in the form of a Paper for the Royal Society, it could of course furnish nothing beyond a mere outline of the great historian's - career. But short sa it is, it is by far the best memoir of Lord Macaulay that has yet appeared. Within the narrow space of thirty pages Dean Milman gives all the leading facts of lord Mscaulay'a life, with a just and discriminating esti mate of his powers and achievements es jurist, statesman, orator, poet, essayist and his torian, and toward" the close of the sketch a few characteristic sentences on his conversational powers, and private life and character. Though he early chose the profession of the law, was duly called to the bar, and joined the northern circuit, Macaulay'" career is so thoroughly identified with public life and literature that many may be surprised to hear that he has any claim to be eoesidered a jurist at all. This however, it will be remembered, was the capacity la which be went to India, within a few years after his first entrance on public life. At Calcutta, he was not only member of the Supreme Council but President of the Law Commission, and in the discharge of his duties in this poet he assisted in the elaborationof a code which is just now, for the first time, co • into operation. "It has been supposed," says Data Milman, " and, in , deed, asserted, that this legislative minion was ' barren and without result ; now, however, it is bearing its mature fruits. After much, perhaps inevitable delay, and repeated revisions, the Indian Criminal Code, in the formation of which he took a leading part, and which he had enriched with most valuable explanatory notes, will, with some alterations, and those not substantial, from January, 1882, have the force of law throughout British India. Macaulay's share in this great work, espe cially his notes, is declared by those who have a right to judge on such subject to have placed his reputation as a jurist on a solid foundation. It is the first, and, therefore, the most important, of a series of operations upon the judicial system of India, which will have a great effect upon the state of society in that country, and will not be without in fluence upon the jurisprudence of England." Although public life must have bad great at tractions to a mind so gifted, energetic, sod am bitious as that of Lord Macaulay, every one who has followed his career must feel that he yielded himself to its claims with a divided heart, and never even in the most active period of his parlia mentary career wholly abandoned his first love. Dr. Milman says, referring to this period : Bat threeghout this period of his life the great inward struggle was going on within his mind Wires& the ambi tion of public usetulness, of parliamentary and official dis tinction, and the love of letter, which will rarely brook a rival on the throne, the still higher ambition, as he thought, of adding some great work to the treasures of English thought sad English literature. In the offire at Whitehall or the Horse Guards, oa the benches of the House of Com mons, said the spplauses or admiring silence of the house, his heart was in - his library and among his books. He yesreed for • plum not so much among the great parlia mentary leaders and the famous statesmen of the land— the Chathanis, Burkee, Foxe—as among the immortal writers in verse and prose—the Hiltons, Clarendon, Addi son, Gibbons. The auditory which he coveted was that vast expanding world throughout which the English language is spoken : the fame, that which will only die with the death of English lettere. Throughout the whole time of his abeam» from /inland, on his voyage to India and on his return, in India, as far ea leisure would allow, and during his parliamentary and effrial career, he was still with has inlefatipble tawdry heaping up stores of Maori ledge, steeps wheat meld net overload his capacious and retentive memory—memory, whose grasp and self-command seemed to expend with its accumulating treasures—me mory which disdained nothing as beneath it, and was never perplexed or burdened by is incalculable possessions. As • curious instance of his range and activity of reading, among the books which he took with him to India were the many huge volumes of St. Chrasostom's works. Their stall almost pure and barmosious Greek. and their impor tance in the history of religious opinion (always • subject of deep interest), carried him through a task which has been achieved by few professiemal theologies". As an illustra tion of his powers of memory, he has said, and he was a most tiabosedul man, that if Milton's peat poem were lost he thought that he could accurately commit to writing at least all the first books of " Paradise Lost." Of Macaulay's style his friend and biographer justly says : It was eminently his own, but his own not by strange words, or strange collocation of words, by phrases of perpe teal occurrence, or the straining after original and striking terms of expression. Its characteristics were vigour and animation, copiousness, clematis, above all, sound English, now a rare excellence. The vigour and life were unabatiug ; perhaps in that conscious strength which cost no exertion be did not always gauge and measure the force of his own words. Those who studied the progress of his writing might perhaps see that the full stream, though it never stagnated, might at first overflow its hank ;in later days it ran with a more direct undivided torrent. His copiousness had nothing tumid, diffuse, Asiatic ; no ornament for the sake of ornament. As to its clearness, one may read a sen tence of Macaulay twice, to judge of its full force, never to comprehend its meaning. His English was pure, both in idiom and in words, pure to fastidiousness; sot that he dis carded, or did not make free use of the plainest and moat homely terms (be had a sovereign contempt for what is called the dignity of history, which would keep itself above the vulgar tongue). but every word must be ge nuine English, nothing that approached real vulgarity ; nothing that had not the stamp of popular use, or the authority of sound English writers, nothing unfamiliar to the common ear. W e must make room for another interesting pas sage on Macaulay's conversational powers : There is • common impression that in society he was engrossing and overpowering. Every one has heard the witty saying of his old friend (no two men could appreciate aseh other sure highly or more justly) about " flashes of atlases.' But in the quiet intercourse with the single Irked, no great talker was more free, easy and genial, than Macaulay. There was the most equable interchange of thought ; he listened with as much courtesy, as he spoke with gentle and pleasant persuasiveness. la a larger circle, such as he delighted to meet and assemble around him to the cloeeof his life, a few chosen intimates, some accomplished ladies, foreigners of the highest distinction, who were eager to make his acquaintance, his manner were frank and open. In conversation in such a circle, a commanding voice, high animal spirits, unrivalled quickness of apprehension, • flow of language as rapid as inexhaustible, gave him perhaps • larger share, but • share which few were not delighted to yield up to him. His thoughts were like ligbtuing, and clothed theniselves at once in words. While other men were thinking what they should my, and how they should say it, Macaulay bad said it all, and a great deal more. And the stores which his memory had at instantaneous com mand ! A wide range of Greek and Lain history and Me nton, English, French, Italian, Spanish ; of German he had not so full a stock, but be knew the best works of the beet authors ; Dutch he learned for the purpose dins His tory. With these came anecdote, touches of character, drollery, fun, excellent stories excellently told. The hearer often longed fur Macaulay's memory to carry off what he heard in • single morning, in an after-dinner col loquy, or in a few hours in •country-house. It should be added that the Memoir is printed in a form that will enable it to be bound up with the octavo edition of Lord Macaulay's Essays or History ; and that it contains an admirable por trait of the historian as he must have appeared in the period of his greatest intellectual vigour. It ex presses far more of the animation and power that must have characterised the original in his best days than any portrait we ever remember to have seen. Messrs. Sampson Low and Co. have just published a photograp hic fac-simile of the manuscript of Gray ' s etiqr." It has been executed under the auspices of Mr. Robert Charles Wrightson, the r of the original, and will, we have no :71:t, prove an object of much interest to every admirer of the poet, whose sweet lines have conse crated afresh the country churchyards of England.

Seldom, how ever, is Mr. Gilbert so *netlike; se in the whole of the right-hand portico of the picture, and he has been amply rewarded. It is altogether one of the beat Shakesperisn illustrations this prolific artist has given us. As for some of the technical qualities of the painting—ths certainty and brilliancy of the execution, the boldness of the impute, the rich glow and power of the colour—they are no lees than masterly ; and when we recollect the rapidity with which Mr. Gilbert's paintings as well as his draw ings on wood must necessarily, from their number, be executed, the fecundity and versatility of the artist's talent are nothing short of astonishing. Mr. Clark, who first attracted notice in these rooms, but who is better known by his picture of the "Sick Child," exhibited at the Royal Academy, is • painter of • very different stamp, yet of the highest merit. It would be difficult to define the nameless charm of perfect naturalness, or to overpraise the modest reverence of the handling and the quiet silvery tone, in "The Return of the Runaway" (28). The simple incident is already known from an excellent cut in a recent number of the Illustrated London News. A boy, whose early par Mon for the sea is indicated by the marine drawing, pre., bably of his own performance, on the wall, has returned is his smart sailor dress, and with the honourable stripe ea his arm, to the humble home from which he sea , away long since. But be is so much growl sea altered that he is not immediately recognised by his peseta- His mother rises, with quickest instinctive apprehension In her pale yearning face, bat the old gentleman, etertled by the hand on his shoulder, looks up from his paper (which he has probably been earthing for news of his boy) only in temporary bewilderment and helpless inquiry. The touch ing truth of expression in this unpretending picture we con fidently commend to the reader's sympathy, be he who he may, for here is the "Touch of nature which makes the whole world kin." Mr. Morgan places himself at once very high among the painters of genre by his picture of "The Jury" (1). Saving a slight tendency to caricature, common to young pantries, who go honestly to nature, Webster himself in his had time could not have selected more humourous variety of character, nor, saving also • slight want of control over the movements of the brush, could that painter (whom Mr. Morgan has evidently studied carefully) have realised with greater felicity the diverse expressions of these twelve men, according as their situation influences their several idicaym cracies. Hereon the vain man, and the modest man ; the man who openly chuckles sympathetically at the villthy, and the solemn puritanical nue ; here are the generous genial man who must tell the joke to his deaf neighbour, and the severe selfish man with the handkerchief spread to protect his respectable bead from the draughts ; here are the stupid stolid man sitting apart, and the over acme individual equally isolated ; bereeare the sanguine and the sympathetic, the nervous and the bilious. Among an unusual number of small cabinet subject pic tures, the " Counterfeit Coin" (141), by Mr. W. H. Knight, deserves early mention for its carefulness and the skilful way in which the story is told. A little girl, in making a pur chase, has given a piece of silver to on old fish-fag, who finds it, bad, or, judging from her villanous grisly old visage, more probably substitutes a "counterfeit" for the real coin ; the consequent dispute has attracted some bystanders, and their several expression s are remarkably true to nature and suggestive. Mr. Holy oak's name is so little known that he may be almost said to make his debut with "Shylock's charge to Jessica" (311). Seldom has an artist made • comparative first appearance with so important a picture. The composition is bold and original, the colouring very pure and effective, and the inci dent well described. In the "DialogosDiverace" (600), by Mr. Long, we have • picture of Spanish life notably in advance of anything the painter has previously exhibited. The varied conversations indicated in the title are a warm dis pute between a younger and an older priest, whose black ill-omened garb and long shovel hats blot the warm peaceful evening sky—an altercation between a boy and a female fruitseller, • few stolen words between a mounted mu. 'tooth and • signora at a balcony, and a teteratfite be. tween another pair of lovers seated in the race's of the esplaniole promenade. The whole foreground lying in broad shedcw, boldly relieved against the evening sky, is given with great power and knowledge et effect, and the whole scene is pregnant with finely-felt local colour. While upon the subject of Spanish life we must regret, after Mr. Dina, recently exhibited picture of a similar class, and which evinced • profitable study of Mr. Phillip, the falling off in the comparatively panty and confused " Andalusian Peasants departing from • Yenta" (520). In the " Convent Shrine" (171), Mr. Wyburd has painted • nun kneeling at her vesper devotion, with two reverent peasant girls standing near under the chalet-like eaves of the convent. There is much careful painting hem, and the effect of the distant moonlit lake and mountains turned to • lovely emerald green through the yellow lamp light is • very truthfol and original effect ; but with due appreciation of the artist's perception of beauty the faces are too similar in type, and a certain feminine:over-delicacy pervades the work to its detriment.

Smith's "Leisure Hour" (134), • yeueg sailor lying on • bank, and lovingly watching • mo dust maiden examining the shells he has presented, is very pleasing in feeling, and contains some refined drawing in the hands, but the colouring of the figures is rather out of bar.

CB.TETAL PALACE. The managers of the Crystal Palace, in their desire to give variety to their entertainments, have tried a novel experiment—that of giving operatic performances, with dramatic action, drawee, scenery, decorations, orchestra, and all the usual aprliances of the stage. For this purpose • regular theatre has been erected in the centre transept, near the great Handel Orchestra ; and Howard Olover's operetta, Once too Often, recently pro ' dueed at Drury lane Theatre, was performed on Saturday last with a degree of success which promises well for future entertainments of the same kind. There was an audience of above four thousand persons. Those who occupied the reserved seats nearest the stage, were able to see and bear very well ; to those who were more distant the dialogue and the minuter details of the music must have been comparatively indistinct ; but the hearty applause of the audience showed that by far the largest portion of them were exceedingly well pleased with their entertain ment. The performers were the same as at Drury Lane— Reichardt, Formes, Mdlle. Jenny Bauer, and Miss Heywood. Formes wee irresistibly droll in the character of Baron Pumpernik. The breadth and richness of his comedy, worthy of Lablache, was thoroughly enjoyed; and the arch acting of Miss Heywood was very suc cessful. This lady, independently of her talents as • lively and ietelligentj comedian, has a superb contralto voice, and hor vocal attainments are suffi cient to render her a valuable acquisition to any operatic company. The simple and graceful airs and ballads, sung by Milne. Bauer, Reichardt, and Mies Heywood, were dis tinctly heard, sad produced their full elect on everyted.y. Some means may probably yet be adopted for giving the audience increased facilities in the way of seeing and bear ing. If so, and if judgment is shown in selecting the pieces best united for such a locality, them operatic performances, is all likelihood, may become the most favourite medal entertainmsots of the Crystal Palace. MEMORIAL TO irrqLATE ROYAL HIGHNESS 'lei litiNCR CONSORT. A special general meeting of the Society of Ana, very numerously attended, was held at their house in the Adelphi on Friday last, convened for the purpose of receiving a report from the council in reference to their vote of 1,000 guineas to the fund now being mind for a memorial to the Prince Consort. The chair was taken by Mr. J. G. Fart's, and the following report was read " The council have thought it right to vote • sum of 1,000 guineas towards the erection of the memorial to their late lamented President, his Royal Highness the Prince Consort. In order to give the fullest effect to that vote, the couocil have called a general meeting of the society, that all its members may participate in the act. The council is confident that the society at large will eagerly confirm the appropriation of this money to the object of commemorating the rare virtues of a Prince to whom this society, above all others, owes so much—not only fur the great impulse given by his Royal Highness to the progress of arta, manufactures, and commerce, but ' for the increased social status which his enlightened in fluence has contributed to confer on the lenders of industry. If facts were requisite to impress members with the sense of gratitude for the remarkable services of the Prince to this society, they would be found in the following state ment: —ln 1843, the year of his Royal Highness's election as president, the number of subscribing members was 319 ; their payments, 7241. ; and the deficit on the year 2981. At the time of his death the number of members wee 2,454, the society had formed a uniut. of 300 institutions, extending its influence over the United Kingdom and the colonies. Its income had increased to nearly 5,5201. It had paid off large incumbrences, and it has upwards of 13,0001. hmiled pperty." The CH ro AILIAN moved that the report bo received and adopted. The motion, having been seconded by Mr. J. Scorr Ruasur., F.11..8., was earned unanimously. GLOUCESTER ELECTION. GLOUCESTER, SkroanAL The old electioneering spirit in this city has been suddenly revived in the expectation that the writ for the election of two members for the city, which has been so long suspended for venal practices, is about to be issued. An attempt bee been made to reconcile the two parties (who me very nearly balanced here), se that one of each party should be chosen, and a coolest be avoided, but at present no such arrangement has been carried out, two liberal candidates being in the field. These are Mr. J. J. Powell, barrister of the Oxford circuit, and a native of Gloucester, and Mr. C. Berkeley, wood sou of Lord Fitshardinge, both of whom have just issued addresses to the electors, it being rumoured that the writ will be moved for next Tuesday. Mr. Berkeley, in his address, declares his political sentiments to be "those which have so often associated the name lie bears with the electoral annals of Gloucester" (liberal), and he expresses his concur rence with the policy of the government, as carried out in the Treat affair, eddies that he shall, if elected, give to Lord Palmerston a steady but iudependent support. MX. Powell also promises W " give an independent support to the go vernment of Lord Palmerston." As to reform, he says that, reverencing the wisdom with which our constitution has been framed, he trusts that " DO conservative will be found more anxious than he is for its preservation, and no radioti more desirous for the reformation of any abuses which may have crept into it." Mr. Potter, partner of the late mem ber, Mr. Price, it is understood is to be the conservative candidate.
