The gap left by Lord DERBY'S death is indicative of the magnitude of the position he occupied among his countrymen. Succeeded in his hereditary honours and in his territorial possessions by his son and heir —but yesterday known by his courtesy title as Lord STANLEY, bat henceforth to be known as EDWARD HENRY, Fifteenth Earl of DERBY—the late illustrious ex-Premier and ex-Leader of the Conservative Party leaves vacant for distribution among others, positions of great eminence and badges of great dignity such as never accumulate in the hands of any but a man in tho very first rank among the Popular Chiefs of a gene ration. The Chancellorship of the University of Oxford , a blue ribbon of the Garter, a Governorship of the Charter House, an Elder Brotherhood of the Tri nity House, a Trusteeship of the British Museum, a Trusteeship of the Hunterian Museum, all are va cated by his decease. Consequent upon his eldest's son's succession to the earldom, there is, more over, an opening, through the borough of King's Lynn, to a vacated seat in the Lower House of Parliament. A great noble, a generous land lord, an illustrious statesman, a splendid ora tor, a profound scholar, and a practical philanthropist whose magnificent benefactions will long be held by his own county esp ecially, but hardly less vividly by the whole country, in grateful remembrance—have, in the person of Lord DERBY, simultaneously disappeared. His, at any rate, is no ephemeral reputation. His scholarship, for example, is attested by a masterpiece of the very noblest pro portions—his translation of the Iliad. His eloquence is no less clearly and indisputably demonstrated, beyond the possibility of denial or depreciation, by the authentic record of the Speeches delivered by him both within and without the walls of the imperial Legislature. His mingled benificence and munifi cence are resplendently perpetuated in the memory still cherished among all ranks and classes of his compatriots—a memory not soon to fade out of the national recollection—of the good and noble work done by him in the alleviation of the terrible dis asters, caused by the memorable Cotton Famine, among the vast multitude of destitute operatives thrown out of employment, during one or two dread ful winters, only a few years ago, far and wide through out the populous county of Lancashire. How thoroughly Lord DERBY was appreciated by his countrymen is evidenced distinctly enough by the tributes paid to his memory on all hands immediately on the announcement of his decease. Political an tagonism disappears before the funereal escutchion of this Chief of Men, who, if he was a great Party Leader, was that and something more! One who, besides being a man of ancient lineage and princely fortunes, and one of the haughtiest among the haughtiest of our patri cians, was a laborious politician, a laborious student, a laborious landlord—and all this not by fits and starts on the mere whim of the moment, but strenu ously, and energetically, and systematically through out the whole of a long lifetime. " The evil that men do," as SIIAKSPERE wisely says, " lives after them :" the Poet adding, " The good is oft' in terred with their bones." It will not be thus happily in the instance of Lord DERBY, the good done by him was too resplendently visible during his own life time through the whole country side, yonder in Lancashire to be very speedily forgotten, or very readily ignored. THE statesman who has just passed away repre sented a policy which has passed away with him. He was the leader of the Conservative party; but, though the Conservative party continues to exist, and will hereafter have its share of power, it has aban doned for ever its idea of retrogression. The utmost that it hopes to accomplish is to check progression from becoming too rapid. Lord DERBY at tempted far more than this. He endeavoured several times to fix the bounds of national political development, and on one memorable occasion to induce the nation to retrace a momentous step which it had taken. He himself was the embodiment of retro gression. It is difficult to imagine the late Conser vative chief haranguing a mob from one of the club windows in St. James's-street, and denouncing the House of Lords for rejecting a Reform Bill. But in 1831 he was a Whig. He became the Liberal- Conservative of 1834, and the High Tory Protectionist of 1846. Even on the one recent occasion when he conceded a great political change to the popular demand he did so avowedly not because he believed it to be for the benefit of the nation, but because he thought it would tend to the injury of his political antagonists. We are not blaming Lord DERBY for not having been a Liberal all through life, for not having moved on from one stage of advancement to another, as Mr. GLADSTONE has done. The two men were brought up in essentially different circum stances, and had essentially different minds. It is difficult to say how far they were modified by their external surroundings, but it is easy enough to see that a long ancestry, great estates, and alliance with the first nobles of the land, would have a tendency very different from that which would be produced by birth among the middle classes, and association with the most far-seeing minds. Lord DERBY was essentially a great peer, and being always more governed by his feelings than by his intellect, he became inevitably a Conservative, and was looked up to as their leader by all those who believed that it was possible to maintain the old system of class government of the many by the few. It is only very lately that this has been proved impossible. Those who made the discovery were likely to be found first in far other circles than that wherein Lord DERBY moved. If at length it was brought home to him also, there was no time left for him to reconcile himself to it. He might acknowledge the fact, but he could not admit that it was a matter for congratulation. Rather he saw in it cause for only lamentation and regret. " That the old order" had "changed, yielding place to new ;" that he could not help seeing when a large number of his former supporters abandoned him on the Irish Church question. The desertion affected him most deeply, not merely as a personal wrong, but because he had not faith to see that " GOD fulfils Himself in many ways." Although the last reminiscence of Lord DERBY'S political life is that of a leader forsaken by his followers, his leadership on the whole was one of the most successful ever known. Few leaders, past or present, have inspired so great an amount of personal regard. This was due in great measure to one of his most conspicuous faults, his indiscreetness. No one but Mr. SPOFFORTII can tell the mischief that this terribly frank statesman wrought to his party by his freedom of speech. Who but Lord DERBY would on the very eve of a general election have insisted upon the necessity of " muzzling the Catholics ?" Who but ho would have thought of declaring that the Reform Bill of 1807 (which Mr. DISRAELI had been so carefully teaching was a restoration of the franchise to a class unfairly robbed of it by the Liberals in 1832) was a "leap in the dark," taken in order to " dish the Whigs ?" If Mr. DISRAELI ever lost his self-control he might well be I pardoned if he did so then. The avowal was simply fatal to him and to his friends. It told all the world that the great Conservative party, pledged to maintain "our glorious institutions in Church and State," doubly pledged against "the degradation of the franchise," was prepared to inflict that degradation, to sacrifice those institutions to the exigencies of faction. But this frankness, which was so injurious on some occasions, on the whole served Lord DERBY far more than it injured him. AIL DIS RAELI never made such slips as these. Mr. DISRAELI is a far more clever man than Lord DERBY was, Mr. DISRAELI has endured and worked for his party in a way that Lord DERBY never did ; and yet there was no comparison as to the popularity of the two men. Mr. DISRAELI was always suspected of finessing; Lord DERBY was believed incapable of it, or, if he did attempt it, he was sure to reveal the fact to all the world, as he did when endeavouring to " dish the Whigs." For that very reason Lord DERBY was trusted and loved, while Mr. DISRAELI was suspected even when most admired. At the outset of these remarks we spoke of Lord DERBY as a statesman. He was that in the ordinary but not in the highest sense of the word. States manship implies foresight, and of that quality the deceased leader was eminently deficient. The col league with whom we have just contrasted him does possess foresight in a very large measure, though in a much less degree than is enjoyed by the future leader of the Conservative party, the Marquis of SALISBURY. In order to be a great statesman it is necessary to see not only the immediate, but also the remote results of a measure. When the Conservative Reform Bill of 1867 was under discussion the Marquis of SALISBURY saw the second ; Lord DERBY saw only the first. Lord DERBY saw that such a measure would take the wind out of his political adversaries' sails—would "dish the Whigs." Lord SALISBURY saw that it would so increase the power of the House of Commons, at the same time that it made that assembly much more democratic and exigent in its demands, that the House of Lords would be powerless to resist those demands. Previously to 1867 there was some thing like an equality between the two branches of the Legislature, but Lord SALISBURY discovered clearly enough that the balance would be altogether upset by household suffrage. An electoral change might win for the Conservatives a seat here and there, or even nearly an entire county, as Lancashire; but the net result must be the utter collapse of the party, so far as concerned its capacity for resisting popular changes. Thus it came to pass that while Lord DERBY upheld household suffrage and opposed the disestablishment of the Irish Church, Lord SALISBURY, who had denounced household suffrage, did not oppose the disestablish ment of the Irish Church. Lord DERBY yielded the first, and assisted that which had thereby been ren dered inevitable ; Lord SALISBURY resisted the first, but when he was overruled, would not stultify him self by resisting the necessary sequence. Another. source of Lord DERBY'S popularity was his open-handedness and public spirit. Many a nobleman may have contributed to the relief fund which was started during the cotton famine, but very few would have given up to its administration the time and the energy that he did. His conduct on that occasion endeared him to the inhabitants of his native county. Then, again, he was at the same time a ripe and elegant scholar and a patron of national sports. He was the trans lator of HOMER and the owner of Toxopholite, as well as the great landlord and the political leader. It is strange to think how few of his quatities are inherited by his successor. The Lord STANLEY of the last fifteen years, the Lord DERBY of the generation now before -^r^m- from his father. The son is eminently cautious, safe, far-seeing, au,' moderate ; the father was eminently rash, dangerous, without foresight, and impetuous. The Lord DERBY of the future will prove a safer statesman, but will scarcely be so popular a leader as the Lord DERBY who has just been taken from us. TIIE man who doubted if he were himself or some other person, was not so absurd a being after all. The story told by an Italian journal shews that the difficulty is quite possible. Some time ago—let us be precise in a matter of so much interest, on April 18, 1808—two men, named AVEIRO and CARINES, were executed at the same time in the prison of Villarica, Brazil. The South American Empire was before us in matters of this kind, for Brazilian execu tions took place within the prison walls long before we abolished the " great moral spectacle " which was got up for the benefit of harlots and thieves. ,In another respect the Brazilians differ from ourselves for the better. They execute by decapitation instead of by hanging. We have all read stories of criminals who having been operated upon by the hang man have, after the cutting down, been operated upon by the surgeon and resuscitated. In fact, so well authen ticated is the fact that THEODORE HOOK ventured to make it the groundwork of one of his novels. But with decapitation the surgeon never had any chance. When the head rolls away from the body there is nothing to do but to bury the headless trunk. But who shall limit the power of science ? Who shall say to the savans " Thus far shalt thou go, and no farther P" Dr. LORENZO Y CARIIIO, at all events, has the most entire faith in the healing art. Heidelberg students have long been in the habit of replacing noses sliced off during a duel ; the Brazilian doctor has done more than this—he has replaced a head chopped off in an execu tion. The Italian paper (quoted in the Pall Mall Gazette) tells us that the heads of the two criminals fell within a few minutes of each other into the basket. Immediately after the second execution the carotid arteries of one of the heads were compressed so as to stop the hemorrhage ; the body was then placed on a bed, and Dr. LORENZO stuck the head on the body, and kept this mended humanity in one posi tion. A powerful electric battery was then set to work at the neck and the breast. Respiratory action began at once, and as the blood which penetrated through the scar threatened to stop the passage of air, Dr. LORENZO had recourse to tracheo tomy. Respiration then became regular, and the head was regularly stitched on to the body. Dr. LORENZO had not previously expected to do more than maintain the semblance of life for a shorter or longer period. Greatly to his astonishment he found, at the end of two hours, respiration continued and circulation be ginning. It really seemed as if the man were not merely exhibiting that sham life which galvanism pro duces, but were coming back to real life again. Dr. LORENZO continued the experiment with out intermission, and at the end of six and a half hours he found that cicatrization had set in. A little later signs of motion began to shew themselves in the limbs, and CARINES or AVEMO was restored. " CARINES or AVEIRO "—which was it ? Well, that is just the question which no one can answer. It was discovered that the wrong head had been fitted to the wrong body. By mistake, the head of C ARINES had been applied to the body of AVEIRO. It was too late to rectifythe blunder. Neither CARINES norIVEIRO would have been prepared to forfeit his half share of existence for the sake of obtaining through a second decapitation a complete existence. Moreover there was a certain poetic, or, at all events, surgical justice in the arrangement. Both men's lives had been equally forfeite4. Why should one be restored rather than the other ? If there was not time to restore both, then let the restora tion be equally divided. So Dr. LORENZO seems to have thought, and after a few moments astonishment at the dual man lying before him, he set to work to complete his task. Cicatrization went on apace. The head of CARINES fitted the body of AVEIRO gloriously. By means of an xsophagean tube liquid nourishment was poured into the stomach, and at the end of seven months AVEIRO-CARINES was able to rise and walk, feeling only a slight stiffness in the neck and a feebleness in the limbs. The position must be a little embarrassing to the gentleman in question if he be at all of a metaphysi cal turn of mind. The problem mentioned at the out set of this article would be in itself enough to puzzle some men. But AVEIRO-CARINES has not only to ask whether he is himself or some other person, but who is this "he " about whom he is talking ? Limbs, trunk, and heart belong to one man, head belongs to another. The head is the seat of the intellect, but then the heart is the source of life. SOLOMON would have solved the problem with the knife, ALEXANDER with the sword ; but AVEIRO CARINES has had enough of experiments of that kind, and though he may be the most devout believer in the principle of "like cures like," can scarcely be expected to call in the aid of the doctor who gave rise to the problem in the first place, to wit, the executioner. As for any rights of property that this half and-half person may possess, these, we suppose are not a matter of much moment, since it is usual for the goods of a criminal to be forfeit to the Crown. And after all, the matter is not so very wonderful. It takes nine tailors to make a man. Perhaps, then, AVEIRO-CARINES may even now be very far short of perfect manhood. Will Dr. LORENZO undertake to complete his experiment ? A. DISCUSSION on the means of diminishing the working expenses of railways follows naturally upon divers projects for great reductions in the scale of fares. At present much of the cost of travelling is to be attributed to the wear and tear caused by the dead weight of rolling stock. The material carried on railways forms but a small proportion of the entire train-load; the vehicles in which goods and passengers are conveyed, and the ponderous engines which draw them, make up by far the greater part of the weight. The load carried oven by a goods train forms not more than 30 per cent. of the whole bulk; the cars and the engine account for the remaining 70 per cent. In passenger trains, of course, the proportion is still greater. On an average, for every person the engine draws above two tons of dead weight in the shape of wood and iron work. To reduce this enormous disproportion is a question of the first moment in connection with our railway system. In Wales a small line but two feet broad has been constructed, and is worked with great success. The engine is light, and the carriages weigh far less in proportion to the load they carry than those in use on the ordinary lines. Hence the original cost of the rolling stock is smaller, and the wear and tear much slighter, than on the large rail ways. A two-feet gauge is an experiment which cannot be adopted very extensively at present; but there is reason to think that the weight might be dimi nished or the conditions of travelling changed. One project for thiipurpose, the invention of Mr. FAIRLIE, is well worth consideration. This gentleman would con struct a combined carriage and engine of considerable length, in its upper arrangements like an ordinary train, but supported on two small four-wheel trucks instead of simply wheels. These trucks, or " bogies," would of course be placed one at each end. The wheels on which the carriages are now supported are rigid, but the " bogies " would work independently, "like the front wheel of an ordinary four-wheeled carriage." Mr. FAIRLIE claims that this system would obviate the rigidity of the present wheel arrangement, which prevents the carriages now in use from exceeding a certain length. The car on " bogies" would be able to turn the sharpest curves with more than the ease possessed by a common carriage of one-fifth the length. Carriages on this system could be made almost the length of an entire train, the concussion would be less violent, and therefore the conveyance might be less strong. The whole weight could be so much reduced, through the upper carriage being in dependent of the "bogie," and therefore less liable to jolting, that the proportion between the weight of the train Mill Liiti I 1.- instead of nineteen to one.

THE CAPE MAIL. PLYMOUTH, Oct. 25. Tho Cape Mail steamer Celt arrived at 3.30 this morning at this port. Her dates are—Cape Town, 19th Sept. ; St. Helena, 28th ; Teneriffe, Oct. 14th ; Madeira, 16th; and Corunna, 22nd. The Celt brings 32 passengers, 23 sacks of mails, and a case of diamonds. She landed two passen gers and proceeded to Southampton. The mails were forwarded to London by the 6.45 a.m. train. 1 iThe Cape Parliament was still occupied with discussing the question of the estimates. The Go vernor proposed a tax on all spirits distilled in the colony of eighteenpence per gallon, and a tax on two per cent. on the interest derived from shares, mortgages, and property of a similar de scription. He further proposed an export duty of one and a half per cent., including Is. per 1001bs. of washed wool, and 6d. per 1001bs of unwashed wool, and also a house-tax on dwellings not already subject to the hut-tax. The House of Assembly, however, by a majority of 25 to 13 votes refused to consider the aforesaid proposed additional taxation until the Government bad announced to what extent it would adopt those retrenchments in the Civil Service already passed by the House of Parliament. The House had determined to impose an export duty on diamonds. The Free State Church had elected Archdeacon Merriman as their future Bishop. FRANCE.

The promised amnesty demonstration in Hyde Park took place on Sunday, without any material deviation from the programme decided upon by the committee early in last week. Like all previous out-door gatherings of a kindred nature,un hindered by the police, it passed off without any public dis turbance or breach of the peace. Trafalgar-square, as here tofore, was the head-centre of the assembly. Its paving stones were covered by a motley crowd, its pleasant foun tains environed by noisy youths, and its noble liens bestridden by as many small ragamuffins as the huge figures could conveniently accommodate for the space of two hours. The scene so familiar during the past four years was repeated again, only under an exceptionally fine October sky, and with the additional ornaments of bloom ing shrubs and active fountains. The street 'hawkers and ballad singers, compared with their old manifestations, were few and humble in demeanour, confining their chief mer cantile transactions to the sale of immature grapes and shrivelled walnuts. The crowd cn the whole was a well dresed cue, and even the rougher elements, the existence of which cannot ho elenied, appeared to bo upon their Sunday behaviour. At the base cf the Nelson column some rough and ready oratory was volunteered, to what end was not very apparent, but as the unappreciative auditors laughed and jeered where the theme was religion, and looked on with depressing silence while a buffoon made persevering bids for applause, infinitesimal, indeed, must have been either the harm or the good that was pro duced. Just as the congregation flocked down the steps of St. Martin's Church, a brass band from the northern thoroughfares made the air ring with the Marseillaise Hymn, while the stream of fashionably dressed ladies and gen tlemen, with their dainty prayer-books, was broken into minor channels by the bearers of banners and the wearers of sashes and rosettes. Owing to the special arrangements, there was no absolute block in Trafalgar square, as there used to be. In various parts of London and the suburbs there were seventeen district meeting places during the morning, and the processions were ordered to proceed successively by given routes to Charing-cross, move across Trafalger-square into Regent street, and thence by any of Oxford-street through the Marble Arch. Thus there was a series of pro cessions lasting over an hour and a half, which arrangeMent considerably marred the effect of the demonstration as a marching array, although it relieved the streets of a danger and nuisance. It is therefore hard, if not impossible, to estimate the number of persons in the processions, especially as upon their arrival at the park they soon, in spite of themselves, became absorbed in a general crush. The Daily News estimates there would have been eight or ten thousand could they have been collected in one mass. The spectators who lined the streets were naturally on such a day, and at such an hour, very numerous. The processions moved along quietly, were stared at by the people at the windows and on the pavements as a passing curiosity, and disappeared without token of ap proval or otherwise from anybody. Their bands played the airs that were supposed to be appropriate to the occasion, the French revolutionary tune being the favourite. Green sashes, green rosettes with orange centres, green sprigs of shamrock, other green branches of un known name, and medals suspended from green ribbons, were worn by all the processionists, and by several who did not fall in at all. Many mon had green bands round their caps with the word "amnesty" inscribed upon them. The bodies marched four deep, under the direction of various committees. In tense interest was manifested in what the bills termed "a grand procession of ladies, under the control of the ladies' committee and the district directresses." This novel con tribution assembled under the National Gallery. It con sisted of between one and two hundred young women, some well dressed, and all decorated with green favours. The chief speaking place in Hyde-park was the cluster of trees in the centre, facing the Marble Arch, and celebrated in Reform League annals. One tree has been for some time christened the "Reformers' Tree." but it was not under the shadow of that branching elm the speakers assumed posi tion on Sunday. It was, indeed, stated that the tree had been levelled by the woodman's axe, and a prostrate trunk, which served the purpose of the amnesty platform, was pointed out as the fallen relic of a turbulent past. There were thousands of persons scattered over the sward between this spot and the Oxford-street entrance, and by three o'clock, when most of the processions had arrived, there were little short of 100,000 sightseers in the nark, the immense majority being apparently luriosity- mongers, who had no kind of sympathy with the proceedings, and little interest in them beyond the chances they offered of fun and excitement. Hence, when it became evident there were to be no heads broken or police assaulted, a gradual dispersal commenced. The crowds were so thick around the meeting place that several of the • tiundred yards of earshot, and one or two other meetings were improvised Tho lino of persons thus kept out was marked by the banners and "caps of liberty" that had been berne aloft through the streets, and this accident enabled the urious to read the incrip- Lions on the special banners, amongst which old Reform League flags were interspersed. The most emphatic inscriptions were, " Disobedience to Tyrants is a duty is Cod;" "Set the Captives free ;" and " Cod save Ireland." These sentiments appeared in modified forms, and in the midst of harps and shamrocks on a considerable number of green flags. Immediately over the head •of the chairman 'Mr. Josiah J. Merriman) the star-spangled hanner drooped in melancholy limpness until it was hoisted twenty yards up into the tree, where it was grasped by a hardy climber oerched thero,who for the rest of the time kept it properly infurlod. The proceedings commenced by a speech from Mr. Nlerriman. Anxious as his friends were to hear him, all ;ut about a hundred were sorely disappointed; for, although there was no opposition and no specific interrup qon, the noise and confusion from the packed thousands were absolutely bewildering. He congratulated the com nittee upon the success of the demonstration, and on the noral triumph they had achieved, and denied Mr. 'iladstene's allegation as to the existence of a Fenian organisation in the United Kingdom, averring that the ..ight honourable gentleman had been misled by Scotland yard, where Fenianism was a question of political economy —a matter of supply and demand. A resolution was then moved by Mr. Clapham, a Leeds Town Councillor, viz. : That this meeting considers the political condition of rreland renders it expedient that the whole of the political aisoners should be li')erated, and that their further deten tion Is liable to engender prejudice and ill-feeling against the Goverlinient and people of England." The motion Ivas carried after being seconded by Mr. Ryan, and then a memorial, read by Mr, Macdonald, the secretary of the Amnesty Committee, was adopted, in accordance with the terms of the above resolution. Some formal votes of thanks, including one to Mr. Merriman, were passed, and the processions at once left the Park. It was some time before the ground was cleared, small groups lingering as long as there was a mock-litany scoundrel it vagabond ballad-singer to surround. A reserve - > f police was at hand in the Magazine, but only the regular Park force appeared. The leading proem iion left the Park, preceded by the banner which first entered it ; it was the flag inscribed, " God Save Ireland!" The first occasion on which ladies have met in Liverpool in public to exercise their political rights was on Friday evening, in the Literal Association Rooms, Toxteth park, when a large number of ladies who had obtained the franchise under the new Municipal Act were present, and ook a lively interest in the topics under discussion. PRINCE ALBERT A DISSENTER.—The papers record the death of Mr. Woodward, her Majesty's librarian At Windsor Castle, We once heard an anecdote connected with his appointment which we believe has never been published. When Mr. Woodward was introduced to the 'queen and the late Prince Albert, the Prince asked him , everal questions to test his fitness for office, and to all of hem satisfactory replies having been given, Mr. Woodward ~- a s about to retire, but before doing so he said to the '?ueen, "I think it is only right I should inform your Majesty that I am a Dissenting minister, as perhaps that fact might unfit me for the appointment." Prince Albert replied, "Why, am not I a Dissenter? lam not a mem ber of the Church of England !" And Mr. Woodward obtained and honourably filled the office. Oswestry .4(lvertiser. MORE LETTEPS ON THE BYRON CONTROVERSY. —A collection of letters in relation to the Byron contro versy, which has during the past week been offered to I:ondon publishers, is, we expect, not very likely to see the light. Happily, a law of libel exists in this country which would make it dangerous to circulate documents con t:dning scandals of a certain kind against persons, some of whom aro probably still living. Tho public will therefore, we hope, be spared the infliction of an alleged corrcspondenco from the pen of the "child of sin," to whom Mrs. Beecher Stowe's narrative darkly alludes. Any way, if there be any enterprising •,üblislier now hesitating on the question of whether he shall or shall not bring up these documents, we trust that lie will take our hint. We may thus, among other inci dental advantages, escape a wearisome controversy on the gitestion of whether these original documents must not be classed with the twenty thousand literary curiosities for which poor M. Chasles was foolish enough to give six thousand pounds. Most parties to the Byron controversy are now, we think, agreed that it is time this matter drouned.=" In the Recess."—Dail. News. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIO jOURNALd -41...... - -.. The Times observes that in Lord Derby wo shall miss not ,nly the most'eminent member of our hereditary peerag e ' )ut one of the most prominent actors on the political battle !laid. At a juncture when the Liberals are united under the strongest Government since the days of Pitt, and the fortunes of Conservatism are clouded with disaster, when his support might have been of peculiar service to his party, and his loss will be felt as a heavy blow, the fore most leader of our English patricians has passed beyond the reach of human interests and passions. Lord Derby was not a great man, but he was a man with noble quali ties of head and heart, which adorned his exalted station) and which will shed a lustre on his memory now that ho is gone. Long after his political errors have been con doned, it will be remembered that he was a good landlord. a kind neighbour, a keen sportsman, and a finished scholar, of the old classical school. Full justice was done to his munificence during the Lancashire cotton famine, but the value of his personal labour and superintendence in the organisation of relief committees can hardly be estimated too highly. Like so many of our Premiers, 'Walpole and North, Pitt and Canning, Melbourne and Palmerston, be possessed an unfailing flow of genial pleasantry in convey" cation, and thoroughly understood how to cast off the cares of State in the home circle. His death will not mark an epoch in history, but it will leave a prodigious blank in English society, and bring about no small amount of c hange in the 'political world. The Post says that although in the domain of politics Lord Derby was habitually indiscreet, and naturally futon' pera,te—although he provoked enmity, and condescend ed to tricks and contrivances which were wholly incompatib le with the proud position which he occupied, and with the high obligations which he was called upon to fulfil—he 123 : passed away honoured and respected by all who recognise' his true character, his admirable social qualities, the good ness of his heart, and the kindness of his disposition. 111.° are incapable of entertaining the feelings which eon ld suggest, or tolerate, the expression of political hostility ill the presence of such an event ; and Lord Derby's opt*" nents, as well as his friends and followers, will not fail t ° appreciate the loss which the country has sustained. _ The Herald declares that the news of the death o f Geoffrey, fourteenth Earl of Derby, will be received throughout the length and breadth of England, not merelf is the announcement of a loss which a great political par t / has sustained, but of a bereavement which has befallen the whole nation at large. There have been men—gr eat men and great patriots—who have left a legacy o f glory t ° their countrymen, but the splendour of whose achievelue lit° ind the lustre of whose prestige have been dimmed and tar nished by sinister memories. Not so with Lord Derby. 1:1° has essentially been the statesman without fear and with out reproach. The glory of Bacon, the achievements 13 Clarendon, are not remembered without some alloy '3", humility in the midst of the plenitude of pride. O r taken Lord Derby may occasionally have been ; wilfuuy or consciously mistaken he neter was. He rimy have eV*" but the error was one of principle, not bias. He was 'O le to truth, because he was true to himself. llis was 3 patriotism as pure, perfect, noble, and disinterested $9 . patriotism can be, and it is this patriotism which is I/13 monument. In Edward Geoffrey, Earl of Derby, says the Vora,'" the nation had still before its eyes, dazzling its daily ga ze in idea more perhaps than reality, a living representa tive of those grands seigneurs of the ancient time, who wroeg i '!, to much to make the little island a power and a rattie st ': empire. If, like Coriolanu s , he va i n ly p ro t es ted age las. measures "which would in time break ope the locks o f the enato, and bring in the crows uo peck the eagles," Y ° ' like Coriolanus, was he not ever plain, grand honoura ble ' fearless, and lordly, even in the haughtiness inheri t "' rrom his patrician order ? He was part of the very le tory of England, as it were—surviving, perhaps, a litt b3yend his date and age, but on that account almost the more minable. He was complete a 3 a polished gentle man and a model Lord. He had his "crack" '- training, and his Homer under translation, while hg was First Minister of the Crown, and engaged in Ine k:,, 7 peace, war, bishops, and bills. Men—above all, Engb men—like a vivid, and capacious nature of this stamp; had become ono whose age and infirmities we had f°.- gotten—esteeming him a necessary part of to-day and 4.0 Morrow, as he had proved to be of yesterday. We, vi. o opposed him with consistency, may also lay something 10 his tomb—namely, a Liberal garland of honour fo r English Tory lord whose life made dignity dignified, ea whose virtues were such as the people do well to admit 4 ' being those of courage, real lordliness, and high breeding P. manners, taste, words, and deeds.
