IT lin' A L ndon • Ohenlinte.—Boware of oPulleun apd all respectable The Recovery of Last Year's Cab'e. This year's expedition of the Great Eastern with the Atlantic Cable will dispel many delusions. Most men, indeed the vast majority, had no faith whatever in the success of the undertaking. This was no loose and ill-formed opinion of the igno rant, but joined in by the electricians, as well as by those who knew nothing of 'electricity, by sailors who knew the surface of the Atlantic and what pay ing out a Cable meant, and by savans who pro , fessed to know the bottom of the Atlantic. If the • possibility of laying a perfect Cable from Ireland to Newfoundland was doubted, the possibility of re covering a lost one was still more doubted. The ' cable of last year parted in the very deepest part of the deep Atlantic. It was in the act of recovering the wire to a point where a haw had been paid out that the accident happened, and the line broke. Not only was there a flaw actually existing which destroyed the cable as a means of communication, when it parted, but it was shown to be a most dif ficult operation, and one unsuccessfully attempted, L to recover that line up to the point of the flaw. In all our imaginations the bed of the Atlantic is • associated with rough rocks and tangled weed heav ing to the swell of the ocean. The mind pictured ' the thin line lying among great boulders, twisted in the folds of gigantic sea-growth, and uneasily rest , ing on shell-covered rocks. Instead of this, at the [ greatest depth where the cable was grappled, it lay [ along a bed of softest sand, so fine that a micro ' scope only can show that it is composed of the L minutest shells, of an organisation so delicate that they cannot exist in the slightest motion. The bed, therefore, is of the purest and most beautiful mate , , rial, in a stillness which, on land, the mind can scarcely conceive. 'We can imagine nothing more ' perfect than this for a cable to rest on, and it is clear that danger to the cable is not in the great ' depths,," but in the shallows, as it nears the coasts, and comes into what sailors call "soundings." No difficulty was experienced in grappling the cable. The ships knew accurately where it lay, and caught it where they proposed. The danger was in raising it, and this arose solely from the swell ou the surface. A vessel heaving up and down on the long waves of the ever-restless Atlantic jerked suddenly as she rose the tightened line, raising the delicate wire with all the condensed weight above of thousands of yards of the ocean. After many failures the Great Eastern got the line on board last Sunday morning, and Mr. MAY saw the light on the mirror at Valentia suddenly change from the gibberish which the ocean bed had been so long speaking into coher en t l anguage. I mmed i ately the splice was effected it was shown the cable had improved, and we have now the positive knowledge that the cool and uniform temperature of great ocean depths improves the " conductibility" and " insulation" of the wire. The cable of 1865, owing to this cause, speaks even better than the more per fect cable of 1866, and the latter has greatly im proved in speaking qualities since it has been laid. These facts are full of hope. They show, first, that there is no difficulty to well-applied science in lay ing a cable across the Atlantic. Second, that the cable lasts and improves when placed under the ocean. Third, that electricians can state positively where a fault or stoppage exists. Fourth, that the cable can at that spot be raised and repaired. Under 1 these circumstances no future difficulty can arise in multiplying our telegraphic communication with America, and continuing it uninterruptedly under any known circumstances. There are scientific and philanthropic then who would furnish the means to effect so great a good even were there no hope of a return. But the Atlantic Telegraph promises to beone of the most paying concerns ever launched. - It is said that the one line already working is earn ing nearly a million a-year. With two lines down, with an improved system of signalling, even if the tariff be greatly lowered, the returns will be something prodigious. Such communication has a tendency to grow. Like a railway, it fosters and creates its traffic. The important business opera tions between America and Europe will be trans acted through the cable, and merchants cannot means afford to be behind each other in employi n g a of communication which would give advantage. A establishment so important an at of the fastest to a rival lead ing firm in China employed a 1 1 1 gkon,g, mainly . all competitors steamers between Calcuttaa for the advantage of gaining earlier news. On nearing remained concealed in an two llon g o k r o n t g h three s ed steamersa y nd over °n inlet of the coast, while the house traded ou the ntelligence. If then it would be worth the while s of one establishment to pay a large sum annually for a little earlier news, it would be surely worth the expenditure of a few thousands to the great firms conducting their operations in America and in Europe. The line now between London and New York is infinitely speedier, more reliable, and more secure than that b e t ween London and Calcutta ; and it will eventually be proved that our best track for a telegraph communication is across an ocean. If in the ocean's depths the line be subjected inju riously to the action of salt water, there are at least no superstitious and mischievous savages, no de structive whirlwinds to level the poles, and no curious elephant to test their strength, or insidious white position di said, " had Lama of the succeeded a body whic h cited States, part of the • be for the I perpetuate le State's in ! promoting character of Such bed reverenced e had been apical, when to despotism were t him the public) ▪ cover their t the public ;ore of the and he b ad ny could be than by one radually en" iolating day of the Ge limit by . ellt ideavouring , avers, which , or monarch/ he had been lauder, vitt!: d made then 5 almost run; iad mounted rment under authority, would have l that placed 3ureau Big; Lion he couia nation, and )propriation to be w orked and depen 6nd with the auxiliary in ;s of the Go himself Pie power in the m he relied. of Congress em.

A vote of thanks to the Mayor for presiding, and the sin ging of the national song and chorus, "Ilea wlacl fy nhadaa," brought the Eis teddfod to a close. OaThursday the principal feature o£ the concert was a short cantata, written expressly for this Eisteddfod, by Mr. John Owen, of Chester (Owain Alan). The title is " Gwalia's Holiday," and the subject is the assembly of the Welsh at their national festival, and praise of the institution. Beginning with a brief overture, founded upon two favourite airs, a spirited bass solo follows. " llark ! to the hirlas horn." This horn is associated with a Cambrian hero, °wain Cyfeiliog, and is celebrated by Mrs. Hemans in some martial stanzas. The call is responded to by the people in a stirring chorus, " To-day we come," at the close of which the previous bass air is finely introduced in unison. A metrical paraphrase of the proclamation with which the Eisteddfod opens forms the subject of a sonor ous bass solo, "In the face of day ;" and in the same mea sure, the chorus succeeds,"Around it crowd dear memories,' with a capital musical setting, and a descriptive accom paniment to the words, " The waves and storms shall cease to roar." A graceful treble song, " Our fatherland," to one part of which is a flute obligate, leads to a solo and chorus, which concludes with a pleasant reminiscence of the first air in the cantata. A quartet for alto, tenor, and two bassos, challenges a reply to the question, " Shall free men's voices be not free ?" " Captain Morgan's march" is ingeniously used as the subject for a choral apostrophe " Ye hundred harps ;" the cantata closes with a chorus, " Peal, peal our thanks, in which the composer reveals his study of Handel, and that he has imbibed the great master's spirit, without being fettered so as to become imitative. The cantata reflects infinite credit upon Mr. Owen, who, desiring to present an acceptable work to his countrymen, has succeeded in producing a cantata notable alike for its pleasing melodies and its skilful, effective, and not too difficult harmonies. We should add that the Eng lish and Welsh words aro by Mr. Ceiriog Hughes ; and that the cantata is published by Messrs. H. Hughes and Son, of Wrexham, in a style worthy of a London house. The second part of last Thursday's concert was a miscel laneous selection. Zhe Eyre Defence and Aid Fund. A meeting of the committee of the above fund was held at No. 9, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, on the sth inst., Mr. Thomas Carlyle in the chair. Mr. THOMAS CARLYLE said that the object of the present meeting was to ascertain what had , been done during the past week in strengthening their numbers. He was glad to find that no less than 25 new names had been added. It was satisfactory also to know that subscriptions were flow ing in from all quarters. Mr. Carlyle concluded by propos ing that the list of subscribers to the fund up to date should be announced in the daily papers, and that the public should be invited to continue their contributions. Colonel HENRY DE BATHE seconded the proposition. _ _ _ Mr. Rusxrx said that it was as difficult to account for the violence of the attack upon Mr. Eyre, as for the nar rowness of temper which had given it special direction. He had joined the committee, as he doubted not every member composing that committee bad joined it, in the simple de sire of obtaining justice, not for black men only, nor for white, but for men of every race and colour. He detested all cruelty, and all injustice by whomsoever inflicted, or suffered; he would sternly reprobate the crimes which dragged a black family from their home, to dig your fields; and more sternly the crime which turned a white family out of their home, that you might drive by a shorter road over their hearth. But, whatever might be the motive or the temper of the accusations brought against Mr. Eyre, the ground of them was, under any circumstances, untenable. His accusers were under the radical mistake of confusing the office of a governor with that of a judge. The duty of a judge was only to declare and enforce law. That of a go vernor is to do what law cannot do, and to deal with such immediate events, and necessities arising out of them, as may be beyond the scope of existing law. Now, so far as the so-called "Governor" Pyre was not a governor, nor intended to be one, by those who so styled him, but only an administrator of British law in Jamaica, he (Mr. Rus kin) was not there either to defend or accuse him. None but those who knew all his acts, and their consistency or inconsistency with written statute, had any right to do so. To the arbiter of law in a criminal court it is no matter what insurrection is imminent in the street outside, or what will be the probable consequences of the criminal's acquit tal or condemnation. He must calmly acquit or condemn according to law. But it was to be held in mind that if Mr. Eyre, though called a governor, was in reality only a law officer, there was at the time of the impending out break no governor of Jamaica. And Mr. Eyre, being called one, had clearly no alternative but to take upon himself the responsibility of the higher office, and as an English gentle man should do, as indeed he did, at his own peril, that which needed to be done. The first thing needed to be done in a crisis of imminent rebellion waste seize the ringleaders of it, and bring thorn, if time and circumstances admit, to legal trial ; but if the enemy to be dealt with is likely to mistake legal delay for infirmity of purpose or hand, all forms of law were by that fact effete and inapplicable ; and they were so in all cases as soon as the question became definitely one of time, and of instant danger. It was alleged (Mr. Ruskin supposed) by Mr. Mill, and the party he led, that to hang a man on suspicion amounted to murder. If that were so, he presumed that to shoot a man on suspicion would be no less murder. Now, in the course of the past year a drunken workman staggered, late at night, inside the garden gate of a gentleman living at Peckham. The gentleman looked out of his window, saw the drunken man in his garden, and then and there, on suspicion, shot him dead. The jury did not even bring him in guilty of man slaughter. That being the present state of the home law re specting human life, Mr. Mill's beautifully logical position might be expressed in these terms :—" For the protection of your own person, and a few feet of your own property, it is lawful for you to take life, on so much suspicion as may arise from a shadow cast on the wrong side of your wall. But for the safety, not of your own poor person, but of 16,000 men, women, and children, confiding in your pro tection and entrusted to it ; and for the guardianship, not of your own stairs and plate chest, but of a provision in volving in its safety that of all English possessions in the West Indies—for these minor ends, it is not lawful for you to take a siuglelife on suspicion, though the suspicion rest, not on a shadow on the wall, but on the experience of the character and conduct of the accused during many previous years." That was Mr. Mill's position, which he would con tentedly leave him to develope. For the question now to be brought home to the English people was, not whethe Mr. Eyre had erred in this act or the other, nor whether the circumstances required less than he did, or more. They might just as well bring any general who had won a deci sive battle to trial, because it was alleged that he had lost five or six men in unnecessarilyoccupying a dangerous po sition, or had shot a peasant by mistake for a spy. The question put at issue by the adverse prosecution was in fact this, and nothing else than this, whether Mr. Eyre, under circumstances of instant public danger, did, or did not, do to the best of his power and ability, what he be lieved to be his duty ? To this question, fairly put, he (Alr. Ruskin) doubted not that the hearts of all true and brave Englishmen would make but one answer, namely, that Mr. Eyre did his duty to the uttermost, with no by-fears or base motives ; and that he was rewarded by being en abled to save the State entrusted to him. How otherwise rewarded, it would be for England now to determine. Had he, after all. efforts bravely made, failed of his pur pose—had he lost Jamaica, instead of saving it—if then, after unquelled insurrection, there had been question of government at all, he might justly and advisedly have been superseded; but not even then brought to trial on such grounds. But as the matter stands, the official removal of him from his place was an act of na tional imbecility, which had not hitherto its parallel in history. It was . the act—as this threat of prosecution was the cry—of a nation blinded by its avarice to all true valour and virtue, and haunted, therefore, by phan toms of both ; it was the suicidal act of a people which, for the sake of filling its pockets, would pour mortal venom into all its air and all its streams; would shorten the lives of its labourers by 30 years a life, that it might get its nee dle-packets 2d. each cheaper ; would communicate its liberty to foreign nations by forcing them to buy poison at the cannon's mouth, and prove its chivalry to them by shrinkingin panic from the side of people being slaughtered, though a people who had given them their daughter for their future queen ; and then would howl in the frantic collapse of their decayed consciences, that they might be permitted righteously to reward with ruin the man who bad dared to strike down ono seditious leader and rescue the lives of a population. Whether this cry, and the feel ing which it represented, were indeed the voice and the thought of the English people it was now to be asked. That was the simple, duty for which they were that day met together. Ho believed it was not the voice of the whole English people, and that there was another opinion of theirs yet to be taken on the matter. But if not, and this proved to be indeed the English mind, tho condemnation or acquittal of Mr. Eyre were matters of very small mo ment, for the timo would then assuredly have come for the bringing of the English people themselves to a trial, in which judgment would not require to be petitioned for. Mr. H. HUME (the honorary secretary) said he had a proposition to bring before the committee , w hich he trusted would present. meet with t h Before the all those he had a few facts to state relat ive to Mr. Eyro's position at these:-1. Mr. Eyro's removal from the Government i of J the present moment. The facts were approval makin g o the f proposition, the however, and facto, a removal from t he p ublic service, and m h Jamaica w f o re now entirely disconnected from it. 2. Mr. Eyas suspension f r om office in January, 1866 , debarred him a e is there fore e- de from completing the two and a half month g he PRICE.... 4d. STAMPED sd . had then to servo to make up the four years' administration of a Government of the first class, required to entitle him to claim a first class pen sion. 3. Mr. Eyre's dismissal in July, 1866, debarred him from completing the year he had then to serve to make up the 18 years' service as a calonial governor, required to en ' title him to claim the full amount of pension grantable. 4. The result of the suspension and removal from office com bined was consequently to place Mr. Eyre's claim in the second instead of the first class, and to entitle him to only two-thirds instead of to the full pension grantable. In other words, Mr. Eyre's claim became reduced to one for a pen sion of £5OO, instead of for a pension of .£l,OOO which he would have been entitled had he administered the govern ment of Jamaica for about another year. 5. Mr. Eyre's dismissal from his government, if regarded as a proof that he did not execute the duties of his office satisfac torily, would- enable the Secretary of State, if ho thought fit, to declare that Mr. Eyre had forfeited all claim to any pension whatever. 6. Mr. Eyre, being only just 51 years of age, could not, under the Act of Parlia ment, receive any pension whatever for the next nine years, even supposing the Secretary of State not to declare his claim to bo forfeited ; and at the end of that time, if he lived he would be entitled only to £5OO a year, instead of to £l,OOO, in consequence of abrupt removal from office before the completion of his term of service as governor of Jam ai ca, and when he y stillrs ad relu n i i r s e t d ra t t o io s n er: f e another year to make up the 18 ea govern ment, specified as the condition of a full pension being granted. In plain language, Mr. Eyre's dismissal has brought him the forfeiture of all pension. Nine years hence, if he be alive, the then Secretary of State may, if he think proper to reverse the judgment now passed, grant him £5OO per annum. He (Mr. liurne) felt sure that these facts only required to ba thoroughly known throughout the coun try to cause still greater sympathy to be evinced for Mr. Eyre, With the view of assisting the head com mittee in London, and thoroughly to canvass the opinions of the educated portion of Englishmen, he begged there fore to propose that sub-committees be formed at every important town in the three kingdoms. Mr. W. 13. WATSON thought it a very desirable move ment, ark_ . no doubt that it, would -be responded to everywhere. 1 o had no conception that Mr. Eyre had been treated so severely. The Hon. ROWLAND WINN said that he was not in tho habit of joining committees of any kind, more especially public ones ; but he most strongly agreed with the words of Mr. Carlyle, that "it was a solemn public duty on the part of every citizen who believed that Governor Eyro had quelled the insurrection in Jamaica and saved that island to come forward and boldly proclaim such to be his opinion." He for one did believe that through the energy and determination of Mr. Eyre the island was saved. The royal commissioners had themselves expressed this cpi nion. And how had Mr. Eyre been received by his coun try ? Why, with execrations of the most infamous kind. His own opinion was, that Mr. Eyre ought himself to take the matter up, and prosecute, not the scribblers who as sailed him, but the Jamaica Committee itself. He was not a lawyer, but he believed if any body of men had ever laid themselves open to a charge of conspiracy, to say nothing of libel, the members of that committee had. A vote of thanks to the chairman concluded the busi ness of the meeting. RUPTURES.-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

The cantata performed at the Wednesday evening's con cert was composed expressly for this Eisteddfod by Mr. John Thomas, of the Royal Academy. It is called " The Bride of Neath Valley," and is a musical description of the peculiar practices at a Welsh wedding. This composition is a decided advance upon Mr. Thomas's cantata of 1863, which was given on Tuesday evening. It is more mob° - dial, and contains some good choral writing and effective instrumentation. Wherever it is performed it will be heard with pleasure, and we are glad that it is likely to be pub lished soon. At the same time, it has some defects, which may be avoided in future works. When a listener expects a varying development of an interesting theme, he is dis appointed to find that it is not developed, but merely re peated. This tendency to repetition is a weakness, and the value of Mr. Thomas's writings will be increased if more terseness characterise them. The overture of " The Bride of Neath Valley" does not strike one with absolute fresh ness, for it occasionally recalls more than the style of one of the great masters. Four soloists take the parts of the bride and her mother, the bridegroom, and the bridal messenger. The latter, a bass voice, opens the vocal portion with a recitative and air. The recitative has too long-continued monotones; the air, "The girl is far too good for earth," would have been much more effective in other hands than Mr. Llwyfo Lewis's. After an instrumental intermezzo, a chorus of men greets the bridegroom on the wedding morn, and he responds in praise of his bride in a song for which Mr. H. F. Morley, who has written the libretto, has not been successful with the words. Subsequently the bride's mother (contrail()) has a smooth, easy song, " Oh, merry are the bridesmaids," not unlike Hatton. That which forms the principal feature in a Welsh wedding,—an altercation between the bride groom and his party outside the house, and the bride and her friends locked within, succeeds; and Mr. Thomas has shown much skill in adapting for this purpose a laconic old Welsh air. The altercation between the principle alternates with passages for the chorus, and the whole is so lively that it was heartily encored. A riding chorus, to church,- is well harmonised, and it introduces an unaccom panied hymn, which is repeated with an accompaniment after an anthem has intervened. The latter part of the hymn is admirable,and the brass instruments are introduced into it with fine effect. Tho riding chorus, again, on the way home, leads - Le - the bridekleadig, "If thOu shalt deem thy vow," a merry soprano air with an attractive accom paniment. Miss Edith Wynne sang it very nicely, and was encored. The' air "0 nos galen" is made the subject of a pennillion song and chorus, well worked out, entitled "Jane had cheeks as red as roses ;" and we think this ex ample of an old national method of song will become as popular when known in this country as it must be in the Principality. The cantata concludes with dance music enclu chorus to the air "The Queen's Dream." After this spe cimen of Mr. Thomas's abilities as a composer, we shall look for something proceeding one day from his pen which will place him prominently among British musicians. Yesterday's proceedings commenced with a meeting of the social science section at the Savings Bank, when papers were read on preventible pauperism, crime, and disease, by Mrs. Wightman, of Shrewsbury ; on the dietary of the working classes in North and South Wales, by Mr. E.

A short discussion took place on some of the papers, after which the meeting adjourned to the pavilion, where the proceedings com menced at noon. The president for the day was the Mayor of Chester (W. M. Williams, Esq.), who opened the pro ceedings with a short speech. After the customary poetical addresses by the bards, including an English address by the Rev. R. Jones, Rotherhithe, the first subject adjudi cated upon was an essay o n welsh emigration ; its results at home and its value in the British colonies. Four com positions were received, and the prize (£lO 10s.) was awarded to Owen Parry, Bristol. The prize of £5 ss. for the best glee for male voices was awarded to Rhodri ab Owen. A competition on the pedal harp succeeded, and there was only one competitor to whom the prize was awarded, Mr. W. F. Frost, Merthyr. The next subject was the awarding of a prize of £2O and a silver medal, for the best cantata on the Prodigal Son. Mr.Brinleyßichards, in delivering his adjudication, said the successful composi tion was by far the best ever sent to an eisteddfod ; the composer was Mr. Jos. Parry, now in the United States, but formerly of Merthyr. A duet for the harp and piano who he said had done so the May or p resen t e d t o th e t was given by Mr. Brinley and Mr. John Th om as (Pen d e d r gentleman G wa much for the music of Wa l es , a testimonial and a purse, containing a cheque for 450 guineas, subscribed by a large number of Mr. Thomas's admirers in E ng l an d an d W a l es . leaertla)'after ( which Thomas), Upon Mr. Thomas appearing on the platform, he was heartily applauded by the large assemblage. He briefly thanked the subscribers f.r their hand some su b scr i pt i on. — The succeeding composition is considered the most impor tant in connection with the eisteddfod,viz., the chair prize. The subject chosen this year was a poem on "The Sea: , The value of the prize was £2O and a carved oak chair. There were 13 competitors, and the Rev. It. Parry (Gwalchmai), one of the judges, read a very elaborate adjudication upon the various compositions sent in. The bard to be honoured proved to be the Rev. Robert Thomas, Independent minister, Bangor, who bad written under the cognomen of " Molydd." As the rev. bard was not present, he was represented by Mr. Williams, of Bangor, who was led to the chair by two chaired bards, awl a sword unsheathed above his head, whilst a few chaired bards addressed him in poetical strains. The Rev. C. H. Owen, of St. Asapb, delivered a Welch oration. The next important prize was 25 guineas and a silver medal for the best essay in Welsh on the mariners of Wales. Twenty guineas of prize was given by the Run corn Sailors' Committee, and five guineas by the Eistedd fod Council. The prize was awarded to the Rev. David Griffith, Independent minister, Port Dinorwic, Carnarvon shire. A prize of £lO 10s., and a silver medal, for the best plan of the Eisteddfod Pavilion, was awarded to Mr. John Roberts, architect, Chester, The last prire forcompetition was £lO 10s. for the best choral performance of Mr. Brinley Richards' part song, "What bells are those ?"

American Tinzes. Death of Lord Northbrooke. To say that Lord Northbrooke has passed away will give but small information to the majority of readers. Few among us would recognize the famous Lord Chancellor, Sir Francis Bacon, under the highest of his titles—Viscount St. Alban's—and very few, indeed, will recognize in Lord Northbrooke the well-known Chancellor of the Exchequer Sir Francis Baring. He died at Stratton on the even ing of Thursday last. Ho was 70 years of age ; his health had for some time been failing, and he was seized with apoplexy on Wednesday morning. His usual medical attendant from Winchester and Dr. Quain, from London, were called to his aid, but their efforts to relieve him were unavailing. He never recovered consciousness, and lingered in life only six and thirty hours. Lord Northbrooke was one of those men who are less interesting in themselves than as members of a great family. When we come to sum up the events of his public life, we find that, though he filled im portant offices in the Cabinet as Chancellor of the Exchequer, and as First Lord of the Admiralty, his name in our history will occupy but a small space, and his standing as a statesman is not very high. Yet, undoubtedly, he was a man of no mean mark, and he wielded a powerful influence. He belonged to a family of singular ability, with whose fortunes the English people, the nation of shopkeepers, could feel no ordinary sympathy, especially as those fortunes have but recently been made. Mr. Francis Baring, the immediate founder of this distinguished family, was but the grandfather of Lord Northbrooke, and was born in the year 1740. People take less interest in acknowledged success than in the merit which before their eyes fights upwards to success. There are ducal houses of old renown which are less known to the people of England, and less regarded by them, than the great house of Baring, Brothers, in the city of London. They belong to the race of merchant princes in whom our people take an especial delight. Sir Francis Baring carried with him into Parliament and into office the prestige of this family. If it is a great thing in our modes of Government to be born a Howard, a Gower, a Grey, a Russell, or a Grosvenor, it is also a glory to inherit the name of Baring. Lord Northbrooke, however, had something more than his name to recommend him ; he was au able and accomplished man. Born in 1796, he won his Double First at Oxford in 1817. His name is to be added to that remarkable list of statesmen who belong to Christ. Church, and who have taken the highest honours of the University. Sir Francis Baring, however, cannot be said to have fulfilled the expectations which his Academi cal career and the practical ability displayed by his family had led the public to entertain. After filling various subordinate offices in the Governments of Lord Grey and Lord Melbourne, he was appointed to succeed Mr. Spring Rice in 1839 as Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Whigs had failed in finance, and were distracted for a revenue. Was there a magician among them who could charm a surplus out of the wealth of the nation ? Sydney Smith had his heart's content at last, for if Spring Rice did not actually enter into holy orders, at least he left the management of the Treasury. If financial genius was to be found anywhere on earth, surely, thought the Whigs, it was to be found in the head of a Baring. Lord Melbourne offered the Chancellorship of the Exchequer to Sir Francis Baring, as at alater period Lord Derby, led by similar considerations, is understood to have offered the same post to his bro ther Mr. Thomas Baring. Sir Francis, however, did nothing to retrieve the reputation of the Whigs as financiers, and fell before the attack of Sir R. Peel. The Whigs had done the country good service, and they might have remained in office if they could only have paid their way. It was for their bad finance that they were turned out at last, and Sir Francis Baring, as the Minister then responsible for the na tional balance-sheet, has to bear the chief burden of the blame which in thisrespectattaches to the Whigs. It must be remembered, however, that Sir Francis Baring's fault was not that he had blundered in finance, but that he was not able to remodel a rot ten system which he had received from his predeces sors. A complete change was necessary, and the Whig financiers had neither the wit to devise nor the strength to carry the necessary measures of re form. It needed the genius of Peel to see how a cure was to be wrought, and the rough energy of a change of Government to enforce it. Sir Francis Baring has since then held high office —he was First Lord of the Admiralty for three years in Lord John Russell's Administration ; but here again he had to take the management of what may be compared to the Augeau stable. Ad miralty management is bad enough now. What was it in 1849 ? Sir Francis_ Baring was not the Hercules to clean out the stable, and there is not much to be said for even the best administrator —such a man as Sir James Graham, for example,— who could tolerate the confusion, corruption, and waste of those days. On the whole, therefore, it m m i a n y is b tr e a s t a io id n that u L n o f r o d r t u N n o a r t t e h . b Androo k e' if s Career in d gm a e d n t seems to be too severe we must in mitigation of it bear in mind that he undertook the administration of the most difficult of all offices to manage, which, in deed, demanded for their successful management more than ability --something of genius. Our con demnation of Lord Northbroke, therefore, amounts to no more than saying that he was not a genius. He worked well and honestly in acknowledged grooves ; bnt he had not the power to strike out a new path. If he was defeated in his attempt to administer the great offices which he successively undertook, he was not disgraced. He never failed to command the respect of his opponents ; while the Whigs always hhiasdsucopnpfiodrte with innce a h p i m e e , ra a g nd e. fiHe yi is esucceededwardel h in for his c o ffi A c d e m , i a r t a l t t h y. o honours by his son, Mr. Tho ma s Geor g e Barin g , who is well known to the publi c in various im portant c wpostsar. which War-office, c e, ath I ° he has India- oaffit thee, and I a n the Thence to the Azores, and At New York, subscription lists have been opened capital stock ' $ at the Company's offices in Broad-street, to form a new ocean cable, to be wholly American.
