It happened but lately, as I took a walk, My ears were saluted by confident talk; The pith of what passed in a street conversation I mean to deliver in faithful narration. A tradesman stepped out and his neigbour addressed, • His income last year had improved, he confessed ; His business had yielded little more, he admitted, But from long tailors' bills he was safely acquitted. ulle h p a r d o : e is a lt i e t d w N a l s O m S} a :S tc a h n le d ss S f O o N r ' n S e c , l t o n t e h s i s ng an m d ar ar t t — ; hut the saving was such in the course of the year, As left him in pocket a fifty pound clear. - A mechanic who laboured from morning to night, Said P lanned and devi se d t o hi s u tt ermos t m i g ht , his children were fed and better arrayed Since the whole of their clothing by MOSES was made. But this was not all, he had sent them to school, As learning was useful in handling a tool ; Yet no poorer had been since that he projected, The cost had been cleared in their dress, he expected. A nobleman's mansion stood out from my way, Its splendour induced me atten:ion to pay t The servants attending would form a great mass, Yet each in new livery this morning did pass ; Their master as courteous as old English days, To every department his own notice pays. When questioned on taxes and cost he replies, My dealing with MOSES all that now defies The cost is discharged, the taxes defrayed By the constant reductions he offers in trade, While to every observer it must be quite plain, That in point of appearance I every way gain. Pleased with my ramble, my notes I was scanning, Nor felt the cold winds on every side fanning ; They could not affect me, from my knee to my throat I was safely ensconced in a warm Witney coat. For this coat I'm indebted to MOSES'S power, To make it, to trim it, and sell it much lower Than any one ever could think in these days, Though inventions improve in a thousand fresh ways. E.

I should think the fall was at least 15 feet. I was not much hurt. I fell into the bottom of the boat. I found there aM. Jean Strybus, a Belgian, and ono sailor. The forrier toll me he was the only one saved when the boat capsized the second time. Four other sailors soon after reached the boat, and got in, but by what means I cannot tell, as I was so much exhausted. One of them called out, •' Cut the rope or we shall be lost.' It was quickly done by one of the pandas in the boat. It immediately drifted astern, when soon after we observed a person in the water aupporting himself upon two oars. The sailors rowed towa—•ds him, and fortunately succeeded in getting him in; it proved to be Mr. Evans. This was no sooner done than we saw another, and every human effort was made to save. him, but just as we got within a boat's length, the poor creature sank. One of the men, Att wood, a very humane man, seemed most anxious to ap proach the ship, to do all he could to save more lives. Some objected, fearing the steamer's magazine would explode, aria then all might be lost. We remained, how ever, withitiau short distance of the burning ship, in the hope of saving others, for, I should think, two hours, and although we could distinctly observe t h e poor ereatueres huddled t ogether aft, and many on the bows at id bowsprit, we did not perceive any i n the water. By this time th e engines bad ceased, When all hope W[l3 gone, the teen prepared to pull to• wards land, if possible. Th ere were, I think, f i ve oars on board. We finally lost sight of the ship about four in er h th heb e blanket which I flung into the ettom ic bo lboewering InY 2 elf; but h ea rin g th e men serviceable,of the immediatelya e t d in ist m el y y v n o ig lu h n t teered to gi re it up, which was gladly accepted, at once dress, e'eleek. covetl hey with d s b a o y at a p s r a e i r l io i t ., es .ou t l o d formed into a sail, and hoisted. rho B e l g i an , w h o was sitting forward, then of me a part of his cloak, and two of the sailors carried me aft for that purpose. During the Nvholo of this night one of the sailors steered, us the sea vas running very high. In the morning, us we had but five hands, M. Strybus was requested to row, but he could not from weakness. I then pro posed his taking tho helm, and as I can spea k e re re d in French to M .

The sea was tolerably calm on the Sunday, and the men continued to pull towards the east, thereby hopilig to reach the French coast. About eleven or tvv elve the same night, the men observed a brilliant revadving light, and pulled vigorously towards it for six hears; but as the sea was increasing in vio lence, they leered to approach nearer, on account of the cross swells.. By this time the poor fellows were com pletely exhiarteted, and nature could hold out no longer. Seeing the fa ondition we were in, M. Strybus said to me, ' You hale) roused their energies on two occas i ons , h try a f nci a s ga t7 n e .' re thenlalmoit riti cheesed them on, but as their ,d from their l a b or i ous exertions, it was almost impossible to do so. Th e y, how ever, used ?mother effort, and soon after war d s we ob .ro s-rved ane lier light, in another direction; we did not know what it was, but the men at once resolved to make a last p us h., and shortly afterwards their Exertions were rewarded by reaching a patch garnet, the captain of which, who had previously fallen in with the other boat, kindly took: us aboard, and at once made for Brest,where we arrived At four o'clock on Monday afternoon. Alto gether, We: were thirty hours in the small boat, during the whole of which anxious time there was nothing either to cut or drink; but notwithstanding, the gallant fellows who had so laboriously exerted themselves to save our lives uttered not a murmur. They were all moat kind and attentive to me throughout this trying and distre sting scene, but the fireman, Attwood, parti cularly a); he kindly bound up my feet in handker chiefs, and placed something round my head, to protect me as far as he was able from the inclemency of the weather. Xr. Gould, who was saved in the first boat,was also very kind and attentive to me after we had got on board the trilliot. Our obligations to the family of the Consul at Brest, and many other ladies, are great in deed. hum edietely it was known we were on board, clothing anal every necessery was sent off in abundance, and after we had somewhat recovered from our exhaus tion, we were landed, and I and Mrs. Maclennan ,and child tak en . t o t h e C onsul ' s house, w h ere we were most hospitably received and attended to until 'our departure for Morlakx. Our gratitude to the English Consul at Havre is also due. He was most kind and attentive, and, when we left, generously placed money at our dis posal. I cannot close without expressing my warmest thanks to Captain Smith, his stewardess, and all on board the Grand. Turk steamer, who, during the bad passage from Havre to Southampton, were constant in their en deavours to make us as comfortable as possible under existing circumstances." AMERICAN NEWS. MRS.

The Liti2rpool Standard of yesterday BsY s— " We have read Mr. Neilsea's account of this melancholy catastrophe, and also his letter, on behalf of Mr. Vincent, to Captain Chappell, of the Mail Packet Company; and, strange to say, we honour him more for what he has concealed than for wh a t h o has made known. He h as nowhere told, what we k now is true, the p r ominent part which he himself bore in the scene of horrors; th a t his moral courage sustai ne d t h e true-hearted little midship man in the performan ce o f necessary duty; that hi s coolness Was invaluabl e i n the securing and manag i ng of the boat; and that hi s physical exertions and judic i ous counsel contributed i n no small degree to the happy de liverance in which we unfeignedly rejoice." A volume would have to be written to chronicle the incidents attending this appalling calamity, and the per sonal experience and observations of each survivor. To most of them it appeared as the operation of a frightful d rea m, bat events passed before their minds and impres sions were formed with a horrible distinctness and rapi dity which a lifetime will not obliterate. The passengers and crow have been received at South ampton with every attention, commiseration, and sym pathy which their distr ess i ng case requires.

Discoveries of gold in Mariposa had been made which far excelled any previously known. It is said to be discovered in decomposed layers of slate. Several very destructive fires had occurred in New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and Washin g ton. At the burning of the library at the Capitol the flames were confined to that portion of the building. Up wards of 35,000 volumes were destroyed, together with manuscripts, paintings, and mars. The original declaration of independence had been preserved. The origin of the fire was enveloped in mystery. The loss is estimated at 40,000,000 dolh. Congress had adjourned for the holidays.

In printing the following f 'rem our Dewenport cor respondent we should observe' bat the scene of the wreck must have been some 150 mile ; to the westward of Da venport; that the wind had a hilted after the report of the accident had reached the C!c mmander-in Chief; and it was scarcely possible that the Hecate, steam-sloop, could have made much way do w n Channel, or when the wind shifted have been early e hough to have rendered any service. There would has been no risk, however, incurred in sending her; and tl vs expense to the public service, when weighed with th si chances of saving one lies, or even of gaining the ma) Vest scrap of information, ought not to have had a 13308161 , i 's consideration. We must say—looking at th. heavy responsibilities of snob an important post as that of Commander-in-Chief of the great western port of Be F;land—it would be much more satisfactory to the public, and, we doubt not, most agreeable to the octogenarian Admiral, if this gallant and distinguished veteran were permitted to retire from active service. It is impossible tto bear hardly upon such an old officer as Sir John Om xnanney, even though he should full into errors of omi esion or commission, or should lack that vigour and disc ration which character ised his earlier career. ) EVONPORT, MONDAY.

SOUTHAMPTON, JAN. 12.—This morning, soon after eleven o'clock, the Grand Turk steamer arrived from Havre, with is of the crew and two ladies, Miss Smith and Mrs. Maclennen, and child, a fine little fellow aboat eighteen months old, who, after leaving the wreck of the Amazon, had been picked up at sea and conveyed to Brest. There was a very large concourse of people assembled in the docks to witness their landing, and on their coming on shore the excitement was immense, the relatives and friends crowding round and clinging to them with the greatest affection, and it was with difficulty that some could escape from the crowd that surrounded them. It will be recollected that Mr. Evans and Mr. Glennie proceeded direct from Brest to Paris. The following are the names of the crew brought over by the Grand Turk:— Jacob Allen Engineer. William Stone.. ~. ditto. George Harding ... ... Fireman. Thomas Atwood ... ditto. Charles Lang... ... ... ditto. John Lamont ... ditto. William Goodman ... ditto. Henry Carter ... ditto. George Tucker „. ditto. William Lucas ditto. John Rogers ... Seaman. James Berryman ... ditto. Daniel Brown ... ditto. Joseph Wellman ditto. Michael Gould Steward. George Deal Quartermastsr. Alexander S. Ling ... ditto. Frederick Wall Sailor boy. The whole of those unfortunate people, who escaped, many of them i❑ a state of semi-nudity, have evidently experienced great hardships since their providential de liverance from the burning ship, being exposed to the inclemency of the weather, with insufficient clothing to protect them from the cold and from the heavy seas which constantly washed over them, nearly swamping their frail boats. For 48 hours they were tossed about, hav ing no provisions or water to sustain their sinking spirits, and being almost left to despair of ever reaching a port of safety. Some of the men look very ill and bear the appearance of having undergone much suffering and trials. When nearly ready to give up their painful and almost hopeless task at the oars, the men were sustained and prompted to fresh efforts by the kind and oheering words of tho ladies, whose painful situation, destitute of all comforts and necessaries, it is almost impossible to appreciate. The sufferers were received and treated at Bruit with the utmost kindness, attention, and hospitality, both by the French authorities and also by the British Consul and English residents. At Havre the British residents made a subscription to the amount of nearly 201. for their benefit, with which to support their most pressing necessities. The escape of Mrs. Maclennan was almost a miracu lous one—she was twice separated from her child, an infant of tender age; yet th e courage s he displayed in recovering it, in the midst of the scenes of horror at tending the rapid conflagration of the ship show the enduring love of a mother, which no circumstances of danger to herself could cause her to forget. We regret to add that the husband of Mrs. Maclennan is among the fearful list of the missing by this terrible catastrophe. She, however, entertains a firm conviction that Mr. Maclennan escaped in one of the boats which has yet to be accounted for, and we understand expresses an ex pectation that ho may yet be heard of. Mrs. Maclennan is severly bruised, and her health is considerably shaken by the fearful sufferings through which she was passed. On landing at Southampton to-day she was powerfully affected. She was met by her brother-in-law, and left Southampton to juin her relatives by the three o'clock train. Miss Smith, the other female passenger, has dis played a heroism and intr e p e dit y t h roug h ou t these pain ful scenes which place her almost in the rank of Grace Darling. She is a very prepossessing young lady, and we understand took a pas s a ge by t h e A mason t o join a family in Porto Rico, with whom she had obtained the appointment of governess. Miss Smith states that, after having retired to rest on the eventful night, she was aroused by a sudden noise and a cry of " Fire 1" She rushed out of her berth in her night dress, but was met by some gentleman who conducted or carried her back to her cabin, enjoining her not to be alarmed, as the flames would soon be subdued. From the in creasing confusion she, however, thought it best to provide for her own safety, and aceoroingly obtained possession of a blanket and petticoat (snatching up the first Knicks at hand) and rushed upon the deck, The appearance of matters there, it appears. impressed her with the conviction that Captain Symons had lost all control over his crew, who were rapidly launching the boats and getting away from the ship as fast as they could. Miss Smith, therefore, formed the resolve of saving her own life if possible, and set about it with a coolness quite extraordinary. She put on her petticoat, enveloped herself in the blanket, and then, making last one end of the rope to some of the bulwarks of the ship, and securing the other end to one of her arms, she threw herself overboard with the intention of getting into one of the boats, but, if unsuccessful in this endeavour, to remain suspended as long as she could and then to drop into the sea, preferring death by drowning to the horrible alternative of perishing by fire. The flames_were rapidly approaching the part of the vessel from which she was suspended, when Miss Smith, ob serving a favourable opportunity, throw herself into ono of the boats that happened to pass near her, and which was geVing away from the blazing wreck; she fell heavily on one of the seats or thwarts of the boat, and one of the seamen fell upon her, her chest being thereby severely bruised. She was, however, snatched from immediate death, but only to encounter the horrors and uncertainties of a stormy sea and a furious gale. In all the trying scenes which followed her firmness and courage never deserted her; in fact, on several occasions she took her place at the oars, and helped manfully by her bodily exertions to propel the boat. So destitute of clothing were the crew of the boat in which this young lady was a fellow sufferer, and such an entire absence was there of any thing with which to make a si g nal , that she was obliged to take off her petticoat in or der that it might be at tached to an oar and hoisted as an emblem of distress to invite the attention of passing vessels. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. MISS SMITH'S NARRATIVE. Miss Smith has favoured us with the following nar rative : " As near as I can recollect, it was about half. past twelve o'clock on Sunday morning when I first heard the alarm of fire. I was in my berth. I hastily jumped out of bed and ran to the seats at the foot of the companion stairs, and went forward to a gentleman and asked him if he knew the cause of the alarm. He told me the ship was on fire, but that there was not the least occasion for alarm, and advised me to return to my berth to dress. On refusing, he carried me to my berth, and called the stewardess to attend me. She came out of her room quite dressed, but, being much frightened, she went forward without assisting me. Being alarmed at seeing so much fear in others, I immediately took up a blanket and two petticoats, and rushed up the companion stairs aft. Tho flames at that time were rush i ng through the after bulkhead. I stopped f, )r a moment to observe if there was any chance of the fire being extinguished, and observed Captain Symons undressed, with a bucket in his hand, surrounded by his officers. Everything then w as muc h confu se d. consequent upon the fire breaking out so suddenly, I immediately ran aft, towards the wheel, where I saw a gentleman standing undressed, whom I believe to be Mr. Warburton. I went to the side of the ship, and seized a rope, and on looking round I saw an officer running towards me in flames. He threw himself down, and rolled over towarda me, with the endeavour, no doubt, to extinguish the fire. I then asked Mrs. Scott, Observing ns a boat a longside, the stewardess, w ho was clos e behind me, if th ere was nny place I could put my fo otiid e? ldrs. Oh, yes, there!' and, t ran to the oth er side, crying holding a ' Save me! Save me. by the rope fur some time, the boat under me having capsizsd twice. At last, seeing a fa vourable opportunity, as the boat righted, and was again Ao ~~~ [PRICE SD„ the operations of the squadron. The guns of the cruisers have by this time sounded the death knell of the v ii. bilious traffic in human fish and blood; and the tor tures and murders of millions of the human race have been in some measure avenged. Commander William Savage (1830) died at Brompton row on the 11th inst., aged 70. He was midshipman iu the battle of Camperdown, and was in receipt of a pension for wounds. Commander Thomas Bolgrave (1848), son-in-law of Vice-Admiral Dacres, is to commission the Hydra steam-sloop at Sheerness. TILE PRESERVED MEITS.—PORTSMOUTI, TUESDAY. —The survey of the Clarence-yard on the preserved meats still progresses. There is no improvement in the quality—about ten cases in u hundred prove fit for food. Some cases of other contractors supplies have also been opened, and have been found deteriorated; but the con tents of the canisters were really beef, and not offal. It is said that the Admiralty have determined to preserve meats for the navy at their own establishment. The Southampton, 50, Captain Cory, remained in St. Helena's Roads yesterday. The Echo steam-tug took off a mainyard to her on Monday evening. She crossed it yesterday morning, and would probably get away last evening, so as to arrive in the Downs early this morning. Strong gales with foul weather have prevailed at Portsmouth for the last three days, and it is very unsettled. APPOINTMENTS. WOOLWICH, JAN. 13.—Clerks—John Curtis (1848), to the Vengeance, 84, on the Mediterranean station; Edward H. Stanton (1846), from the Gauges, 84, on the Mediterranean station, to the Ajax, 58, screw steamship, at Cork I, to the Britannia, at Fortinowalk , fitting for the flag -ship on the Mediterranean station. The whole of the warrant officers borne on check at Woolwich for harbour service were examined to-day by Captain the Hon. Montagu Stopford, acting superinten dent, and a board of officers, as to their fitness for service at sea. The warrant-officers were at the same time inspected by Dr. a Evans, Senior Deputy-Inspector of Hospitals and Fleets, and other medical officers, as to the state of their health, in case they should be called upon to serve in sea-going ships or steamers. The Fury steam-sloop, Commander Edward Tatham, broke two hawsers on Saturday last, owing to the strong gale which prevailed during the time she was having her compasses adjusted, but Captain Johnson and her Com mander persevered, and had the adjusting of the com passes satisfactorily completed on the same day. The vessel left Greenhithe early on Sunday morning, accom panied by the Zephyr steam-vessel, and the engines of the Fury having been found to work remarkably well, she brought up at the Nore for the night, and the engineers of the factory at Woolwich returned in the Zephyr the same evening. The Zephyr steam vessel went up to Deptford on Monday, and brought down the Torch steam-vessel to Woolwich. After the Deo steam-troop-ship bad been paid off on Saturday last, the petty officers and seamen who had served in the vessel purchased a handsome silver snuff box of Mr. Westaway, and ordered the simple words " H. West, E sq .," t o b e engrave d u p on it, and pr esen t e d it to their late commander. The officers of the Dee describe the mode of warfare at the Cape to be very disheartening to the British sol diers, especially those placed on patrol duty. The Kafirs aro so active and daring that they venture within. twenty or thirty yards of the patrol and show themselves, but in a position that they can drop down flat on the ground the moment they see the musket brought to a level for firing at them, and in almost every instance escape being touched by the bullets. The savages then start upon their feet and run upon the patrols before they have time to reload, and while the patrols strive to keep the Refire at a distance with t h e b ayonet , t h e latter jump about with the agility of moneys, and close upon the parole, holding them by their belts while they stub them. The most serviceable description of muskets to contend with the Kafirs would be those loading at the breach, as they would give the soldier more confidence, and avoid his having to alter the defensive position of the ,bayonet when loading.

CALIFORNIA.—MaiIs to and from California, via the United States are uow despatched and due by every American packet BANKIIVG INSTITUTION. Yesterday evening a monthly meeting of the subscri bers to this institution was held at their offices, 51, Threadneedle-street; Mr. T. Hewat in the chair. A brief report from the council, congratulating the members upon the flourishing aspect of their affairs, having been read and coufitmed, Mr._ J. J. SHAW read a paper upon the law and prac tice relating to crossed cheques. He said the practice was au extremely old one, and had been in connexion with the clearing-house in Lombard-street for more than u century. In proof of this fact he cited a great variety of cases from law reports, where ections had arisen upon creased cheques; and though the custom was well known, it did not excite any remarks from the judges before whom these cases were tried. In fact, beyond the custom of the bankers to receive and pay crossed cheques to the bankers with whose names they were crossed, it did not appear that they were entitled to refuse payment of a crossed cheque, no matter by whom preseated,sif the answers were satisfactory. It was mest important that a question affecting the monetary inte rests of such a largo commercial community as existed in the metropolis should be settled at once by some defi nite legal authority. So far, however, from this being the case, the bankers themselves were entirely divided on the point as to whether a doubly or singly crossed cheque was payable at once, or not at all. An imperteet action was brought a short time since against 7leart Coutts for having paid a crossed cheque for 9,0 00 /: This cheque was crossed with the Bank o: E lig i an - d further crossed by being made payable only to ts ' "d This cheque t with the count of the Accountant-General of the C " e L ourt of Chan cery.

He thought generally as it prevented sang them was a very g ood o ne i n d e ed, anything like forgery on the banks. Mr. GILBA R T then bri e fly a dd resse d th e mee ti n g, pointing out t he necessity which existed for some law which would compel bankers to pay crossed chcques to the parties to whom they were crossed and to no others. The bankers were now in a position to demand a law of this kind from the Legislature, and they intended doing so. A. vote of thanks was passed to Mr. Shaw for his lec- AITO OR the subject, and the meeting beparated. At a meeting to promote the completion of the Great Western Docks at Plymouth, held last week, a com ruittee was formed to procure subscriptions for the 6,000 guaranteed 5 per cent. shares of 101. each, which it had been resolved to issue, and which, it was alleged, would, with the amount authorised to be raised on debentures, fully suffice fur the objects to be effected. The amount already ex pended was stated to be about 90,0001., and an offer had been received to finish the undertaking for 78,004 Mr. Braille, the deputy chairman of the Eastern steam Navi gation Company, attended and pointed out that unless the docks were completed it would be impossible for his com pany to bring their vessels to Plymouth. He added also, to show the necessity for immediate action on the part of the town, if they would secure the advantages contemplated that the tenders fur the second monthly mail to India and China would be decided upon at the end of February next, and that the com tors had made on their o w n p r i va t e res p on sibility, ba d 1 47 luny, by arrangements which its direc ready nearly completed one vessel at Bristol, and had laid down the keels and built the engines of seven others.

Among the numerous mechanical inventions and works of art deposited hero from the Great Exhibition are the two prize flutes from the manufactory of Messrs. Rudall, Roso, and Co. These flutes are con structed entirely of silver, one being plated with gold, which gives it a most elegant appearance. The geld flute was invented a few years since by M. &ohm ' a German, and this ono obtained the Council medal; the other improved and simplified by Mr. Carte. Among the advantages secured by this flute over the fates of Bahm may be mentioned the following :—The weakness of the three or four lowest notes is corrected, so that all the notes are now equal in volume throughout the in strument. The imperfect intonation iu the upper notes is altogether removed, so that the flute is now singularly perfect in this respect. These two desirable objects are so completely realized by the new form that the old reproach of unequal tones and incorrect intonation can no longer be urged against the flute by the most fastidious. Added to this, the quality of its tones, which notwithstanding all its other imperfections, always render the flute popular, is also greatly improved. They are sweet and clear, rich and sonorous, liquid, powerful, and free. One of its greatest advantages may be found in the little breath required by the performer, so that those with weak organs, who might hesitate to practise on a flute of the old shape may use one constructed according to this principle. So little exertion does it require, that it may be played by the most delicate person. Mr. George Barker still continues bis delightful ballad music three times a week. MR. BENNETT. The following is the reply of the Bishop of Bath and Wells to a protest which has been addressed to hinl from Frome, against Mr. Bennett's presentation to the living of that place:— " Brighton, Jan. 12, 1852. " 11-v. and dear Sir,—l have read and given my brat attention to the memorial signed by yourself' and some of the clergy and other persons, forwarded to mo from Frame, upon the recent appointment of Mr. Bennet: to that living by the Marchioness of Bath. " I can assure you, had I m:t been satisfied that Mr. Bennett was not attached to, or likely to be influenced by, the doctrines of the Church of home, or to influence in that direction others of any congregation committed to his care, I should have declined insti tuting him, from whatever quarter his nomination might have come; but as I am fully satisfied that Mr. Bennett has a firm and deep-rooted attach ment to our own Church, and to all the doc trinec of the Church of England, repudiating all Romish doctrines, I feel that I should be acting unjustly by him, and uncaurteously as well us unfairly by the Marchioness of Bath (whose firm attachment to our Church is so well known), if I were to refuse him admission into my diocese. I shall, therefore, ad here as firmly to my intention of instituting Mr. Bennett (however respectable the e!gnatures to a i protest may be) as I should have objected to have done had my opinion of his attachment to the Church been otherwise. " I will only add, in conclusion, that as you, and all those who have signed the protest, have done no more than they considered to be their duty in thus express ing their opinions to me, and I have myself as can didly stated my own feeling on the subject, which, I trust, will have the effect of allaying any fears which they had entertained, it is . my earnest hope that there will be no unseemly oppontion on the p ar t o f th e c l er gy, or any of those who have signed the protest, and that Mr. Bennett will be received with kindly feeling. "I am, rev. and dear sir, your faithful servant. " R. 13ATI1 AND WELLS. " The Rev. 11. D. Wickham." LORD JOHN RUSSELL—THE WHIG MI NISTRY—LORD PALMERSTON.
