There seems to be no limit to the power of Mr. BRIGHT'S oratory, and wherever he is starring it in any particular place there are so many last appear ances that one gets quite perplexed in trying to make out when his labours will be over. Yesterday a deputation waited upon him from the farmers of Cork, pursuant to an arrangement which had been made. It was from the Cork Farmers' Club, and, after presenting him with an address, it was favoured with a moderately long oration from the hon. mem ber. A ir. 13amtur spoke con amore at any rate, notwithstanding that he confessed it was diffi cult to addr ess so few instead of three Or four hund red. It is true that the peculiar style of his oratory is more suited to a large than to a small assembly; but, then, on this parti cular occasion he rod e one of his favourite ' hobbies, and dilated upon the enormity of the land question in Ireland. Nov, there is nothing that excites and irritates him like this subject, and he seems as if he can scarcely restrain himself withi n the ordinary bounds of decorum when he is touching upon it. He allows for no difficulties to be adjusted, an d as for his opponents having any rigid to their own opinions he totally ignores the supposition. He began his remarks in rather a complaining tone, for he declared that the world seemed to move on very slowly, and what any man can do to make it move appears to be very little. If we all moved at the rate which Mr. BRIGHT tells us we ought to do, it would be a strange world indeed. If there be one thing in which Mr. BRIGHT shows his mis taken judgment more than another, it is the way in which he cries up foreign countries to the detri ment of our own. We call it the greatest absurdity, and in fact an insult to the understanding of those he addresses, to keep on this farce and perpetuate it ; but it seems to suit the views of this modern political regenerator, and so we must not complain. We arc convinced that there is no country in the world that even nearly approaches to us in real freedom —nay, what the noisy clamour of dema gogues may call such ; but what experienced judges know to be actually so. Mr. BRIGHT would find his position very different if he were to go and live in these Utopias he is always advocating, and then, perhaps, be might be wiser. lie sets out by saying that in England he has observed I that the laws are all made for a particular class, and hence great wrongs and injustice have ensued. This is most ridiculous, and when we come to con sider the manner in which the inhabitants of foreign countries are compelled to enter the army, whether they will or no, and the numerous restrictions that are put upon the freedom of the press, and the right of public meeting, &c., it seems strange that Mr. BIiIGIIT does not meet with more dissentients among his numerous auditors. Perhaps the secret is, that many people are pleased with those discourses, which are replete with satiri cal sketches of variety, and contain fierce diatribes against the upper classes collec- tively. Of all who come under the ban of Mr. BnIGIIT.S displeasure none are so much to be pitied as the unfortunate, as the unhappy owners of land. "There can be no kind of doubt," said he, " that, as regards the land, the laws have been absolutely the product of the selfishness and ignorance of the landed proprietors, and by no classes in the country." Mr. BRIGHT will never possess half the influence nor inspire a tenth part of the confidence which appertained to Mr. COBDEN, and therefore it is of no use for him to quote the remarks of his late friend with a view to carrying them out. People get naturally suspicious when they see wholesale efforts made to question the old established systems, and their pride is touched and their indignation raised when they arc told that they are mean, selfish, and exclusive. Thus the very vehemence with which Mr. BRIGIIT advocates a particular object tends to prevent its accomplishment. He was the Marplot of Mr. GLADSTONE'S Reform Bill, and so he will prove himself to be in any particular measure he takes up. No doubt some beneficial changes might be introduced into the laws relating to the land, and reforms and improvements are required there as elsewhere ; but it is quite another thing to con sider calmly and carefully what may and may not be done with advantage, and to hold forth in strong language an utter, sweeping assertion against the whole system, root and branch. What suits one country will not always suit another ; and as the institutions of England are not likely to find favour with the other nations of Europe, neither would their plans and projects suit us. The wise statesman, the political economist, and the careful critic must see and acknowledge the various forms which different people require ; but Mr. BRIGHT would leave the whole world out, and after one fashion, and make a sort of community of those who have nothing in common with each other. At the present time, and in the present critical state of things in Ireland, we think it very wrong of Mr. BRIGHT to go on as he is doing, and to be putting ideas into people's heads that had much better not be there at all. Thus we find him saying ,o the deputation of farmers—" If you had a Par• liament in College Green, clearly the tenantry of Ireland, with the present feeling in Ireland, would be able to force that Parliament to any measure of justice they named ; but as you have to .A11.133s urge from this side of the Channel, can have a very feeble effect, especially as it can only be repre sented by about 100 members, and of these it un fortunately happens that a . considerable number are not willing to support the demands that are made." Now this is very idle talking, and mis chievous likewise, about as wise as the expres sion used subsequently by Mr. BP.IGIIT of " wresting their rights from a Parliament sitting in London," and the declaration that any effort made by an Irish member is about as disheartening a piece of work as any representa tive can have to do. Surely there is plenty of op portunity for Mr. BRIGHT to find fault with Eng land and English principles of Government without going to Ireland,and there sowing the seeds of strife and dissension, with no niggardly hand and with no grudging spirit. 'The truth is, that if he can by any possibility rail at the 'Tory party, Mr. BRIGHT will sacrifice every consideration of prudence to the pur suit of his dearly-cherished object. Thus, all we can hope is that his unwise and incautious re marks may not produce much mischief ; if they do not it will be no thanks to his wit or wis dom. Mr. BRIGHT wound up his remarks by de claring that " we in this generation do owe it to ourselves, and owe it to Ireland, to mak e such amends as we can for accounts of neglect, and cruelty, and injustice committed in the past, such as, I think, no civilised and Christian nation has ever inflicted on other nations." After this we need not wonder at any remark that Mr. BRIGHT may choose to make when he addresses assemblies, large or small. Abuse and exaggeration are evi dently henceforth to be his principles, and he will stop at nothing that can give effect to his strictures and add piquancy to his sarcasm. There is a time for all things, and our Ministers seem to think so, for yesterday they assembled in Downing-street to hold their first Cabinet Council, and a fine spread of work was laid out before them. What subject did they take for deliberation to begin with ? The most pressing no doubt ; and every Minister would find the business in his own depart ment pressing enough. What had Lord STANLEY to say as to his foreign friends ? Net much for the modesty of his European we fear ; but as we have washed ourhands of Continentalaffairs in the case of unhappy Denmark, who had sad cause to cry out in the hour of her utmost need, "Save me from my friends," we hope we shall not " meddle nor muddle" any more in matters that do not concern us, but take the advice of Lord MELBOURNE to fidgetty JOHN, and leave well alone. All our middling hitherto has only served to make bad worse. But if we look not across the water, but across the broad Atlantic, we shall find some things that require adjustment and others to ponder over; some may be to shun and some to admire and copy. Foremost among these the ear nestness and rapidity with which they set about paying their national debt ; a debt incurred for the preservation of their independence, and contracted not in gold an d s il ver, f or t h ese h a d b een all absor bed , faith but in confidence and good on the score of national credit, for which they gave their word of honour by their bond on paper, stamped an d certified in greenbacks. With these they fought th e i r way to victory and final triumph —as will be seen by an excellent article in another t a t column from the Derbyshire Courier, s under States." the head of " The Finances of the United under the care Now the finances of England Come IHE SUN, LONL ON, IHUBSOA EVENING, NOVEMBER 1, 18C6. .► of our Chancellor of the Exchequer, backed up by the pro duce of our trade and commerce, and to the gifted :representatives of these we commend the state of crur national credit, with a certain means of great ly improving it, vast though it seems at the pros( mt time. And for this purpose we commend to the united Cabinet, that next to the consi derafson of our debt is the best, because the safest, way of paying it. That is, by relieving those who pay it from all arbitrary shackles which impede their labour "by cramping their credit. Enable the people to get clear of panics in the money market by grant ing them the use of the symbol founded on the faith of the nation and the good credit of the people themselves, who have the greatest interest in sup porting their own credit and the good faith of the nation, which is alike their own. Instead of tantalising them with gold, which they cannot get without paying double its value to the foreigner, give them paper money for local circulation among themselves, and it will pass freely from hand to hand, save the waste of gold and silver, and be received in payment of taxes by the Exchequer, and so restore confidence and comfort among the people at large—doing away with panics, for there will be no more runs, as the nation will not run away from herself, and the people remain at home prospering and happy in their national independence. Surely that is a topic for Cabinet consideration, " and worthy kings !" We trust Lord DERBY will take take the matter to heart, for, if " money is power," no power can be greater and safer than that which blesseth the greatest number, by diffusing wealth and comfort, in the name of Justice, over a smiling land. lived a little longer he would have changed his opinion on our Currency, as he had done on the Corn Laws, and given the people free trade in money as he had done in other matters of com merce, and abolished the Bank Charter amidst the national rejoicing. Even the Iron Duke, who was used to look danger in the face, was fain to avoid the gathering storm, and seek shelter from his own conscience by granting Catholic Emancipation. And what emancipation can be greater and more universally beneficial than freeing our people from the grinding thraldom of money usurers, with their merciless shackles of gold and silver, clanging in our path to the very portals of the shuddering grave. A paper currency has changed the face of Scot land from a shaggy wilderness to a garden teem ing with grain, and the fruits of the earth in abun dance, and why should not the same fortune await the labours and confidence of the people of England ? IVhat virtue can there be in a ten or a hundred pound note to the rich man, that a one, two, or three pound note would not in proportion afford the poor man ? It is idle to talk of granting too much power to the Minister of the day by allowing him the issue of money. Why he has the power now. He has the power of granting credit--which is muney where there is confidence—and he has the power of withholding it, and wrecking the credit of the country. • If the late First Lord of the Treasury and the Chancellor of the Exchequer had not suspended the fatal operation of the Bank Charter for the third time, the Bank of England and all the grand joint stock banks would have " smashed together, and public confidence be cast to the winds." But com mon prudence dictated, common safety and the national credit stept in to keep the public faith in tact, and so the panic blew over—for the third, and, let us hope, the last time. How is it that the Bank of England has been able to lend the nation money ? The Bank proprietors arc only a company of merchants, speculating on the national credit for their own profit. If the to go to the Bank, but for every pound he obtained he had to pay "in meal or in malt." It was not enough that he paid interest, but he paid insurance for the same in the shape of privilege by granting the lender a commission, which cost the Minister nothing, but was of passing value to the Bank, which was not satisfied with enough for the present, but exacted a sort of post-obit for a number of years to come, well knowing that the nation never dies. This security was ever kept alive to frighten JOHN BULL'S grandchildren with the neces sity of keeping up the national credit. We feel certain that if the Minister of the day took good heart, and resolved to pay off the debt of twelve or fourteen millions which the Bank claims, and laid on a tax for that special object, the nation would leap for joy, and almost pay such a tax in advance, so that our currency were rescued from the hard grip of the money changers, and the national credit be released from such contemptible bondage. A national bank-note, based on the annual taxes, and its issue checked by a parliamentary commis sion, would repay the Bank debt in full, and set the nation free in a very short period. The annual loss by wear and tear in our monetary circulation is esti mated at three millions sterling. This amount of itself would nearly repay the Bank loan before the great bell of St. Paul's ushers in the year of grace 1870. What a chance for honest legislation ! We say, Be just, and fear not. The festivities attending the triumphant com pletion of the Atlantic Telegraph are not yet at an end, for our public-spirited Lord Mayor thought that it would not be fitting the commercial impor tance of the enterprise if the good city of London failed to do honour to its successful promoters. Accordingly on Tuesday evening the Mansion House was the scene of a brilliant entertainment, at which almost all those gentlemen connected with the expedition were welcomed with true civic hospitality, and with a magnificence worthy of the occasion. Unfortunately the Lord Mayor himself was prevented by indisposition from being present, but he must have been fully satisfied by the brilliant manner in which the entertainment passed off. Lord CRANBORNE, who was present, paid a well-merited tribute to the manner in which the Lord Mayor had discharged the duties of his position during his tenure of office, referring more especially to his charitable exertions during the epidemic, and to the good sense he had shown with regard to the Indian famine. The Right Hon. J. STUART WORTLEY, as chair man of the Atlantic Telegrah Company, made an interesting speech on the history of that company, which was, as he justly observed, not a little re markable. It manifests in a striking degree the perseverance and resolution characteristic of the nation, for, on one occasion, after nearly a mil lion and a half had been spent, the company was so penniless that the directors were forced to subscribe £250 a piece to pay the clerks and keep the offices open. However, all's well that ends well, and the exertions of all concerned have been amply repaid by the scientific triumph of their enterprise, as also, we hope, by its financial success. TOTAL Loss OF THE SHIP TlCKLElL—lntelligence was received in Liverpool yesterday of tho total loss of the Liverpool ship Tickler, while on a voyage to Havana. The Tickler was owned in Liverpool by Messrs. Friend and Co., and was commanded by Captain Friend, tho owner of the ship. The wreck took place on the Bahamas, on Eleuthera, and as far as is at present known the crew es caped. In addition to the loss of the Tickler it is reported that no less than nine ships went ashore at the same time and place, and became total wrecks. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, Wednesday Evening. The Moniteur says it has received a private de spatch, which announces that the Saxon Chambers will meet at Dresden towards the middle of December. Accounts from Vera Cruz to the 13th inst. state that General Castleman had arrived there, and had left immediately for Mexico. A deputation of merchants of Matamoras had left Mexico to intreat the Emperor Maximilian to reoccupy Matamoras. The deputation assert that the whole population would rise against the bands who are now in pos session of the town, and would receive the Impe rialists as liberators. The committee charged to distribute the money raised by subscription for the relief of the sufferers by the inundations met yesterday for the second time. They decided that the sum of 280,000 f. should be immediately placed at the disposal of the Prefect, to relieve the most urgent and necessitous cases. The Mexican mail has brought news to the Mi nister of War respecting the expeditionary army to the 28th of September from Mexico, but the date from Vera Cruz is a fortnight earlier than the de spatch above mentioned. Nothing important has taken place in regard to the general position of the empire and the concentration of the troops was pro ceeding satisfactorily. The discontented at Jalisco had made several demonstrations, but their move ments had been frustrated either by the French or the Mexican . troops. The evacuation of Mayatcan had not commenced on the 3d September. Great fermentation prevailed in the departments of Aguas, Calientes, and Zacatecas, in consequence of which the Mexican colonel, Randa, had received orders to be prepared with both cavalry and infantry to re been obtained over the united bands of Zepeda and Martinez. The city of Vera Cruz was tranquil, and commercial affairs were active. It is stated from Venice that the result of the plebiscitum will be announced to the King by a Venetian deputation, at the head of which will be the first President Tcchio. It was stated that the King would make his formal entry into Venice on the 7th November. The Moniteur says it has received a despatch from Alexandria which announces the melancholy news of the sudden death of M. Hecquard, Consul of France at Damascus. He was seized with apoplexy during a visit which he made with his family to the orphan establishment. M. Hecquard was interred with funeral honours. The changes in the weather are very remarkable. Yesterday the cold was intense. To-day it has been warmer than it is sometimes at midsummer. The Toulouse paper states that there was snow last week in the department of the Ariege. The bulletin of the Observatory says there is a heavy sea in the Mediterranean, and that the mercury has descended rapidly on the coast of Boulogne and other parts of the northern coast. The barometer continues to descend at Paris. The general indications presage storms. Some rather serious accidents took place at the last steeplechases at 'Vincennes. The wet weather had made the ground very slippery. In the first race a gentleman rider was thrown from his horse, and his right arm fractured. Several of the jockeys were thrown during the fourth race, and received more or less injury. It is announced that the railway from Amiens to Rouen will be opened for traffic on the Ist January next. Notwithstanding the importance of the decree appointing a commission to inquire into the na tional defences, the Paris papers pass it over in silence, contenting themselves with publishing it. The Cons/it/a/mind, however, says : " The Imperial decree is merely to carry into exe cution what was projected a month ago. The country will see in this measure a new and striking proof of the great wisdom awl foresight of the So vereign who watches over the destinies of France." A new daily paper, Le Comrade, is to appear on the 15th November. The editor is M. Aurelien Scholl, who is the author of a startling foci/le/on, called " Les Nouveaux Mysteries de Paris." last performance at the Italian Opera, which was for the benefit of the sufferers by the inundations. The Prince de la Tour d'Auvergne, the French Ambassador at London, has left Paris to resume his functions there. The strike among the miners at Denain, which I have already mentioned, is not yet terminated, but the disturbances have not been renewed. No less than 53 of the most turbulent have been arrested. The town is still in a very excited state. M. Beust, who has just been appointed Minister for Foreign Affairs for Austria, is about 57. He was secretary of Legation in London in 1836, and fulfilled that office iu Paris in 1838. He was ap pointed Minister Plenipotentiary at Munich in 1841. He has occupied the post of Minister for Foreign Affairs for Saxony since February, 1849. M. Beast has the reputation of being a man of revolutionary and agitation tendencies. He took a prominent part in the difficulties respecting the Duchies of the Elbe. L ATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, Nov. 1. The Hamburg and American Co.'s steamer Ba varia from New York, on the 20th inst., has arrived.

Ten thousand Cretans were engaged in the battle near Vrissa, where they lost 700 killed. The Turkish losses were also large. Deputations announcing the submission of the in surgents arrived from all parts of the island at the Turkish headquarters. ITV , • - - in the caves of Melidoni, were drowned by the rising of the tide. Troops have been detached against three strong united bands of brigands in Thessaly. Joseph Karam has left for France. LISBON, Oct. 31. The Royal Mail Steam Packet Company's ship Oneida, from Brazil, &c., arrived here at 8 a.m. to day, and will leave at 2 p.m. for Southampton with specie, £49,749, 75 passengers, 2,200 bags of coffee, 220 barrels tapioca, and 200 packages of sundries. The Rhone, with the outward mail of the 9th in stant, was at St. Vincent (Cape Verds) on the 19th instant. The Return of the King of Saxony. A Dresden letter gives souse details of the return of the King of Saxony to his capital. It says : " After an absence of 134 days his Majesty has at length arrived here. The whole way from the frontier station of Rodenbach to the summer palce of Pillnitz I never saw so exhausted,lsawtcrowd much enthusiasm. But from the last station o f Ni e d er - Sodlitz as far as the palace it was no longe r en th us i asm, it was flowers,f o r f en w z b y i . ch l l n va d s e t f o a o ul s t p o e f edily . theconsiderable h e sionrush to the meadows and hedges and pluck away a rm f u l s of green branches to strew before the royal carriage as it rolled along. The members of the Board of Public Works and the functionaries of Dresden had gone in a body to Rodenbach to receive the King. The railway station, like all those which the royal train had to pass through, presented a magnificent spectacle. It was filled by a com pact crowd of Saxons and Bohemians assembled to lavish on the venerated pair the most expressive testimonies of their sympathy. As soon as the train came in sight the most impassioned acclamations wore raised, mingling with the sound of the cannon and the pealing of the church bells in Tetchen and the surrounding villages. When the King and Queen stepped from their carriage I for a moment ap prehended some accident, so intense was the eagerness of every one to crowd near to see their Majesties. Flowers and bouquets liberally poured upon them, and there were transports of joy, mingled with tears and felicitations, and warm shaking of bands on all sides. The King wore the uniform of a general officer, as if to protest against the Prussian Cabinet, which desirel to reduce him to the posi tion of a purely civil sovereign. I was placed so as to be able to observe that recent events have produced a great alteration in the aspect of his Majesty, who appears fully ten years older. At last the train moved on, and in about a quarter of an hour again stopped at Kcenigstein, a little town situated at the foot of the great fortress of that name. Tho governor of the fortress, General de Briesen, together with several Prus sian and Saxon officers, awaited the arrival. As soon as the train stopped, the general advanced towards his Ma jesty, to whom he addressed a few words of welcome. The King thanked him, and expressed a hope that he would be able to maintain harmony in the mixed garrison of the for tress, at the same time giving him his hand. After re ceiving the felicitations of the municipal council of Koenig stein, his Majesty re-entered his carriage while the guns of the fortress thundered a salute, and the crowd raised the loudest acclamations, the band playing a t the same time the old Saxon hymn ' God bless the King !' Here at Dres den the enthusiasm was just as great ; you will perhaps be able to form some feeble idea of its magnitude when I toll you that both banks of the river for the length of a quarter of a mile were completely crowded by a dense mass of spectators. There was not to be found in Dresden a single carriage, nor a steamer, nor a cab of any kind ; all Lad gone to Nieder-S e dlit z or the environs of Pillnitz. Their Majesties at last en t ere d i n goo d spirits the summer resi dence, where the Conn e ll of Regency was awaiting them." It is with great regret we announce the sudden death of Mr. Thomas Phinn, Q.C. He was yesterday appa rently in his accustomed excellent health and spirits, but on returning to his chambers in Pall-mall about 7 o'clock he complained pf pain in tho region of the heart, and after a few minutes expired. Mr. Phinn was called to the bar at the Inner Temple in 1840, andpractised on the Western Circuit. He for some years represented Bath ; he then became Second Secretary at the Admiralty, and having resigned that office and returned to the Bar, obtained a large and lucrativ e P ar li amen t ar y practice. He was, we believe, in his 66th year. NEW ZEALAND.

MR. BRETT, M.P., at HELSTON.—Speaking at a dinner at Helston, the other day, Mr. Brett, the Conservative member for that borough said the state of the country at the present time gave great cause for anxiety. Mr. Bright had, with much indiscretion and great intem perance been carrying on a mischievous agitation, which had been especially successful in those centres of trades unions where large bodies of men were in the habit of fol lowing their loaders. Meetings had been held at which, urged by the vehemence of Mr. Bright, resolutions had been passed and demands made which, if granted, would not be reform, but revolution. By that he meant that it would not be in principle an extension or improvement of the Consti tution, but it would be an alteration or a substitution of,an entirely different Constitution. Ho admitted the Consti tution required enhiging, and thought moderate mon of all parties might agree upon a solution of the difficulty. It had never been an essential part of the Constitution that all members should be elected by an equal body of con stituents. No two countries were of the same size ; no three towns or boroughs were of the same size ; therefore, there had always been small and large constituencies. It had never been an essential part of the Constitution that all the inhabitants in any locality should take part in an election, but, on the contrary, it had been an essential feature that they should not take part. There had from the beginning been a property qualification, and that of necessity excluded a large number of citizens. It had never been an essential part of the constitution that all large places should have a voice in the election of members, nor that the same franchise should exist in every constituency. It was not so now. The franchise in counties was not the same as in boroughs, and although in all boroughs the right of voting was nominally the same, yet a £lO house in 'lel ston was not the same qualification as a £lO house in Lon don, Liverpool, and Manchester; and the voters for Uni versities were not qualified with respect to property at all. Now, taking these matters into consideration, he asked, could they not devise a reform bill to which the moderate men of all parties could agree ? Moderate men asked that the franchise should be extended, and that a considerable number of the working classes should be admitted to it ; but that, in his opinion, might be done without altering any of the essential principles of the Constitution to which ho had alluded. But if the great leader of the Whig party, Mr. Gladstone, would join with Mr. Bright in his revo lutionary demands, it would be the duty of every Con servative—and ho hoped they would be joined._ by the great body of the moderate Whigs----to oppose any such measure with all the strength in their power. He hoped, however, that the coming session would not be wholly occupied in the discussion of Parliamentary reform, be cause there were many other questions requiring imme diate and serious attention, and he thought we had at pre sent a Government composed of men determined to work hard and with sincerity. He hoped to see brought forward a comprehensive measure on the subject of education, as well as on the question of Poor-law relief, and he was sure the Ministry would do everything to increase the efficiency of the army and navy at the smallest possible expense. LITERATURE. " Barry Cornwall's" Memoirs of " Elia." Charles Lamb. A Memoir. By Bryan Procter. One Volume. Pp. 252. Moxon and Co. For this charming volume the lovers of the de lightful " Elia" have reason to be grateful to " Barry Cornwall." At the very outset of our remarks, indeed, we, for one, would here frankly acknowledge ourselves to be so. We accept Mr. Procter's recollections of his dear old friend with more than pleasure, with livelier feelings even than those of admiration, we accept them with a sense of gratitude. They are jotted down, as their author himself tells us, in his seventy-seventh year thirty-two years after the death of Charles Lamb — one good half-century after the occaeion upon which Elia and Barry Cornwall were first brought together, after they first began their affectionate and thenceforth memorable friendship. Written though these pages are, however, long after the termination by death of that very notable friend ship, it is surprising to observe how vividly the survivor's retrospective survey brings forth to the view of this later generation the whole career, and character, and genius, and idiocyn cracy of the man ho himself, so long ago and so thoroughly appreciated. It is a likeness drawn from memory--and that, moreover, as we have said, after the lapse of two-and-thirty years—and it is one that has been drawn thus more accurately from memory than the vast majority of likenesses are when taken from the life, from a deliberate succession of actual sittings. Already, it is true, Charles Lamb has been sketched after a similar fashion, sometimes almost to the very life, by a series of tenderly ap preciative delineators of his most whimsical, yet thoroughly delightful and thoroughly loveable in - dividuality. William Hazlitt, alone, in effect, three several times sketched him, doing so, moreover, n ..e u LI 111 his " Spirit of the Age," afterwards in his " Table Talk," and finally in his " Plain Speaker." Leigh Hunt again pencilled him, so to speak, in a sort of vignette and quite casually, as it were, in the course of his " Autobiography." John Forster, too, with a few bold but delicate strokes of the pen, as one might say drew him in profile after the fashion of Retsch's Outlines—and that, too, very shortly indeed, after Elia's demise—in the pages of the New Monthly Magazine. Sir Thomas Talfourd, again, long after wards painted his portraiture with singular vivid ness of colouring in a book that was termed (hap pily for us by what is now rendered a flagrant misnomer) " Final Memorials" about him that radiant limning of Charles Lamb, by Talfourd, for the first time revealing to us, as by a startling application of the brilliant effects of chiaroscuro, those hitherto concealed lights and shadows, those brighter E i ghts and blacker shadows which, unsuspected by the world at largo, had all that while been dignifying the history, the eminently tragic and pathe tic his tory, of this long-beloved and most delectable humorist. And now as the very last and as the very best of all these commemorative tributes to Charles Lamb, to Elia, to that wisest, and wittiest, and raciest of all our wise, witty, and racy essayists— there come to us, crowning and perfecting the whole delightful series of such portraitures of him as we have but just now enumerated—these; in very truth and deed, Final Memorials of Charles Lamb--m emorials jotted down in his green old age but with a clear, a firm, and a loving hand, by Elia's true and trusty friend of two-and-thirty years ago, Bryan Waller Procter, otherwise Barry Corn wall. The book, in every point of view, is worthy at once of the author and of his subject. It must realize its writer's purpose—or we are very much mistaken—even in his own estimation of it. A re sult, by the way, which is but very rarely indeed arrived at—more especially when, as in the present instance, the author's judgment has by long culture been rendered refined and sensitive in regard to blemishes and shortcomings, even to the length of fastidiousness. Not without emotion in fact could he even have prepared himself for the task— judging from his. own acknowledgments. In merely reading over once more (as a refreshing prelimi nary, we presume, to his Retrospect) —in merely reading over once more those old familiar Essays, meaning the Essays of Elia, he tells us—" Some of them affect me with a grave pleasure, amounting t-- in T spew to invnort into them the very feel ing with winch no wrote tnem ; ms moose aria move ments are transfigured, and communicated to me by the poor art of the printer. His voice, so sincere and earnest, rings in my ear again. He was no Feignwell: apart from his joke, never was a man so real, and free from pretence. No one, as I believe, will ever taste the flavour of certain writers as he has done. He was the last true lover of Anti- quity." Together, moreover, with Charles Lamb's ,own dear old delightful face— sweet-mouthed, large-browed, bright-eyed Elia, with his stam mering talk and " immaterial legs," as Tom Hood called them, Elia in rusty black, like, a lay ecclesiastic, as Sir Boyle Roche might have it, and hugging under his arm, if not kissing it, some rusty old black-letter folio—together, we say, with Charles Lamb's well-remembered features, form, voice, gait, manner, tout ensemble—how many others of his associates must have thronged back upon Barry Cornwall's remembrance' As affording us a succinct commemoration of some among the pick of those past and gone familiars, let us take a certain anonymous T. W.'s recollections of the " set," jotted down by him very recently at Brussels and, of course still more recently; published in the columns of Notes and Queries. Writing of Charles Lamb and his Contemporaries, as he still recalls them bodily, as it were, not as will be seen conversationally to his recollection, "J. W." says in Notes and Queries—" Of the discourse of these dii majores I have no recollection now ; but the faces of some of them I can still partially recall. Hazlitt's, for instance, keen and aggressive, with eyes that flashed out epigram. Tom Hood's, a Methodist parson's face : not a ripple breaking the lines of it, though every word he dropped was a pun, and every pun roused a roar of laughter. Leigh Hunt's,parcel genial, parcel democratic, with as much rabid politics on his lips as honey from Mount Hybla. Miss Kelly's, plain, but engaging. (The most unprofessional of actresses, and unspoiled of women : the bloom of the child on her cheek, un defaced by the rouge, to speak in a metaphor.) She was one of the most dearly welcome of Lamb's guests. Wordsworth's, farmerish and respectable, but with something of the great poet occasionally breaking out, and glorifying forehead and eyes. Then there was Martin Burney, ugliest of men, hugest of eaters, honestest of friends. I see him closeted with Mary Lamb, reading the Gospel of St. John for the first time. And Sheridan Knowles, burly and jovial, striding into Lamb's breakfast room one spring morning—a great bunch of May blossom in his hand. And George Darley, scholar and poet—slow of speech and gentle of strain : Miss Kelly's constant shadow in her walks amongst the Enfield woodlands." Reverting, however, to the more copious recollections that are here set forth of these and others in the goodly book recently penned and issued from the press for the delight of this later generation (the first instalment of posterity to Elia) we would adduce here at once without further parley evidence distinct and conclusive that, charmed as we acknowledge ourselves to have been with the work as a whole, we have not viewed it by any means through a species of infatuation, re maining obtuse even to those minor flaws and petty deficiences which are in truth inevitable in all remotely retrospective recollections of this character. To this end we would here parti cularize two instances in which it appears to us that Mr. Procter would do well, before allowing the work to go into another edition, by subjecting the text as it at present stands to some slight revision or emendation. In the first of these instances he is evidently in some confusion (quite unconsciously to himself) as to the paternity of a very simple phrase— to wit, that of browsing upon certain portions of literature. At page 23, in the first instance, ho dis tinctly attributes the authorship of the phrase to Charles Lamb—remarking, " He and his sister were (to use his own words) tumbled into a spacious closet of good old English reading, and browsed at will on that fair and wholesome pasturage." Never theless, at page 50 Barry Cornwall—eschewing all italics indicative of quotation puts forth r r. the very same phrase quite as distinctly as his own-- observing that " Coleridge had browsed and expa tiated over all the rich regions of literature at home and abroad." Yet, after all this, at page 7 ° , when quoting from Hazlitt's " Conversations of Authors," he makes the author of that hook about authors, he makes Hazlitt himself remark in reference to Charles Lamb —" He follows learning as its shadow, but as such he is .re spectable. [lmagine a respectable shadow, by the way !] He browses on the husks and leaves of books. After which—whose, we may surely ask, in our bewilderment, was originally this oft-mention ed phrase about browsing on book-lore—Hazlit t's, Procter's, or Lamb's ? It is a trivial blunder 111 itself, no doubt, but still, if worth the making , worth also the rectifying! As to the other laps" already alluded to, though not yet particularise d, it occurs where, speaking of Sir Joshua, M r ' Procter, not content with remarking, 4 4 Reyno lds was, indeed, the finest painter," even goes so far as to assert that he was " especially the most super b colourist of the English school." An assertion that might have passed muster when Sir Joshua's ad mirable pictures first left his easel, and in truth also for some few years afterwards—but that new , alas ! when the once radiant pigments have pale d and faded away ghost-like upon the canvass, ea u only be regarded as provocative of the thought that they at any rate (whatever Charles Lamb may ha ve been in Hazlitt's estimate of him) are not among the shadows that are even respectable ! Of tile , personal history of our charming Essayist, as t ile t history is here related, we are certainly not in this place about to give the mere epitome of an epitome. Rather than that, we would refer the reader to 0e book itself, confident that long before he has closed it he will be grateful to us for the recommendation • In the mere typography of it, it is the goodhest book we have handled for some time past—an al li P l° in Solid, sombre, brown binding.-.. on thick toned paper, in noble type that i n thi.g , rattling railway time gives one's eyes a sense ° I gratification to look at. Interleaved among t he letter-press, besides all this, there are fif e admirably - lithographed portraits, taken from very curious original drawings, pencilled fr° lll , the life—three out of the five portraits °' Charles Lamb himself, the other two being por traits of his Father and of his Sister—of his Wea k ; minded and all-but imbecile Father, and of his ill Oe unhappy Sister. The two latter are very distressing indeed to look at, more especially however the la st t mentioned—remembering, as who can fail to do that has once read of it, the terrible history of I\ l l Lamb's alliction. As to the three portraits ° Lamb, they are all of them wonderfully interes ting —one by Cary, one by Meyer, one, and that a very noble one indeed, by Hazlitt—Mr. Procter's O il favourite among the three, we presume, see l f i g , that he has selected it for his fronti s piece. 0 most immediately preceding the appeara nc of Barry Corn wa ll' s b oo k, b y th e wa y, t he-ro appeared, it may be remembered, a little square -6' tome about " Charles Lamb, his Friends, his HalO t° ' and his Books," a work penned by Mr. Percy gerald as a not unwelcome s w eepi ng togethe r " t stray anecdote, and personal traditions, a be us ti our delightful Elia, littered up and down in varl e ed directions and,hitherto uncollected—having escap ed even the eager and loving researches institu te l among others, by such men as Leigh Hunt ' ll3 O Thomas Talfourd, in regard to anything at Of n matter how apparently trivial, connected in any wetit, with Lamb and his Contemporaries. That pleasatee little volume of Mr. Fitzgerald's we noticed at 0 time of its publication with the praise to which t conceive it was entitled. Intrinsically, howeve r ' was no more than it affected to be itself, nain';'' a thing of shreds and patches, jottings by the Wf ' ti j i mere aids to a juster appreciation of the simpl e 3 . noble character, of the quaint and delightful g e°lo 90 of Charles Lamb as a ripe English Scholar, 0 61 4 one of the truest and raciest of all our E n g' o ,s Humorists. That little book, in point of fac t, 11 , 0 r in its way a simple avant courier to th e more important and valuable tribute to La el o which was then already known to be in prepara ti ve by his old friend Barry Cornwall, and which we 133 t, now had the gratification of welcoming with he ar o , felt words of mingled gratitude r..nd admir ati of Altogether the book is as good as any friend Ye either Charles Lamb or Barry Cornwall could ha' t, It to DC. it zrom first tO with manly affection, in all sincerity and in alltr ut fulness.
