At Marlbort. ugh-street, the coachman of Mr. lioinE , the banker, has . been fined 51. an d costs for b reak i ng out of the rank at ArztAck's, disobeying the police, and fighting with them. In vain his elegant and accom plished mistress wrote to the Magistrate, assuring him that her coachman was blameless ; in vain the lady's footman deposed that the police had interfered withms t cause, and struck him wh a) l he merely delivere, I a message fron' his mist ress ; in vain a solieito. - employed to deti , nd the coat hman, brought all his Blot tence to bear on the A I;tgistrate, and said it was prtyosterous to call this a fret- country if the 1 police might ;nut what laws they plea sod, (for ladies' coach n,en,) and :nets be punished for di,obeying them. The Magistrate was int xorable, he insist , xl on the police being authorised to make laws hr th e regulation of gentlemen's carriays when they congregate at parties, and he punished the coachmsan for his dis obedience. The gentry use the police for thei- convenience, and we not are sorry to see that they exp. tz ience some of the annoyance which other per, .ms frequt aptly feel from having a rude set of men for mass Ts. The Magistrate did right to uphold the authority of thie police, stud when the coachmen of the •,',entry get feequet!ti; trounced, we may hope that the:ie•latter will have some compassion fur the people, and &ilk whether what is called order be nut too dearly purchased by something very like slavery. COURT CIRCULAR. The Queen and Prince Albert, accompanied by their Serene Higldnesses the Hereditary Prince and Princess oi taaxe Coburg Gotha, arrived in town at ten minutes before five n'e'oek yester day afternoon in an open carria,eti and four, eacertoso by a party 1 of Hussar s , f rom Cl aremont.

Her Royal Highnesss the Duchess of Kent, Baron Gersdoff, the Saxon Minister, Lady Anna Marra Dawson, Earl of Aber deet n, Sir George Cooper, Bart., and Captain Francis Sey mour (Scots Fusilier Guards), had the honour of joining the Royal Circle at Buckingham Palace at dinner last.evening.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Anna Maria Dawson, arrived at her residence Clarence House, St.. James's, yesterday afternoon, from a visit to her Majesty the Queen Dowager at Bushy Park. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, attended by Colonel Junes, arrived in town yester,lay from Kew. Prince George of Cambridge returned to town, from Kew, en Sunday evening. Sir Robert Peel arrived in town yesterday afternoon from his seat, Drayton Park, Staffordshire. The Governor and Deputy-Governor of the Bank of Eng land, had an interview with the Chancellor of the Exchequer yesterday, at his official residence, in Downing -street.

Despatches from the Governors of Canada, New Brunswick. and Nova Scotia, were received ycaterday, at the Colonial office. CROSBY HALL. This ancient edifice, which has been long in a state of dilapi dation and ruin, has been completely restored, in accordance with the original style of architecture, and will shortly be opened to the public inspection. Originally erected in 1472 by Sir John Crosby, it was occupied by Richard the Thud when Crook's!. backed Richard was aspiring to the Crown, and his re sidence here has been immortalized by Shakspeare'a reference to the fact. Another sort of interest is attached to the erec tion as the abode of the learned and upright More, whose " Utopia" is supposed to have been composed bepeath its roof. The rich Spencer, whose enormous fortune passed into the family of the Comptons, by the marriage of his daughter and heiress with the ancestor of the present Marquis of Northampton, celebrated his Mayoralty at Crosby House in 1594, and gave a feast there, which surpassed in splendour the entertainments afforded in all former 3layoralties. was as signed for the reception of Sully on his mission to Jame► the First. Subsequently it sank into neglect, was occu pied as a packer's warehouse, and suffered much injury while so appropriated. Its main features, however remaiined even amongst the Vandals of Bishopsgate, untouched, and on the termination of the lease a few years ago public heeling was in some degree excited with regard to the interesting building, almost the only re maining specimen in the metropolis of the domestic architec ture of our ancestors, and a subscription was entered into for its restoration. The funds, however, proved inadequate to that purpose, and it remained comparatively in a ruinous con dition until a few spirited individuals, with a view to pre serve it from further decay, and to appropriate it to public purposes, restored it to nearly its original splendour. The style in which the repairs have been accomplished reflects considerable credit upon Mr. Davies, the architect, who has succeeded in preserving the original character in all the details which have been introduced to adapt it to its proposed uses. It is satisfactory to the citizens who venerate historical associa- tions, that Crosby Hall will be connected with - the and in tellgence of the present age, by being devoted to the purposes of a literary institution, and that it will be opened on the 27th of this month with an introductory address by Professor Bell, of King's College, the President of the Institution.

There is a small house upon the estate, with a sheep krall near it; a garden planted with fruit trees and 3,000 vines; also five permanent springs, giving a never-failing supply of water. The late district land surveyor of Beaufort describes the Estates as follows:—" Slabb,rt's Poort is a good sheep farm, and com mands the best pasturage on the River Iraka ; and as the high road from the Eastern Provinces to Cape Town passes through the fart', it presents a very favourable position for A STORE, OR SHOP."

Mr. Robins will endeavour to state, as succinctly as possible, the leading features, with the full con viction that there will be found, in every department, the utmost attraction to interest and induce the connoiseur of the fine arts, the bibliomanist, the bon vivant, the florist, and horticulturist, and those who seek to furnish their abodes with all that is of the best an purest taste, to journey to this most extensive and splendid auction. THE EXPENSIVE FURNITURE OF THE MANSION cannot be denominated of the present fashion or period; it is, how. ever, in the best taste, and excellent of its time, and comprises the appropriate fittings of the noble drawing_rooms, saloon, dining.room, library, morning rofm, and boudoir, with many BRILLIANT CHIMNEY AMD PIER GLASSES, of unusually large dimensions ; ORNAMENTAL PORCELAIN AND ALABASTER of extreme beauty and rarity.

Poussin ; a splendid landscape by Both ; a landscape by Claude; a landscape by Domenichino; a landscape, with cattle, by Cuyp; a small landscape, with cattle and sheep, by K. Du Jardin ; a landscape by Berghem; and another by Gainsborough, with six matchless sea pieces, by Vandcrvelde— one being of large size and singularly fine, and its companion by Backhuysen—all these are incomparable as works of art.

Solomons, 39, Albemarle.street, Piccadilly, opposite the York Hotel, and 76, King William-street, City.—" Gentlemen,—Having been deaf for some tnne, which I found increasing, and which very much ineon. venienced both myself and friends, and observing your announce ment in the daily papers, I was induced in the month of November -1839, to make trial of your Invisible Voice Conductor, Sound Mag, nifiers, and although at my advanced age--at that time past my 77th year—l had no hope of obtaining any relief, but immediately I applied them according to your directions, and to the surprising astonishment of many of my friends around me, I could hear with them the general conversation, and I am happy to inform you that by the constant use of them both my ears and my hearing have be. come so much improved that I can now hear acutely without their aid, and in consequence of th 2 valuable benefit which I have derived, has caused me to make application to you for Spectacles, which I find equally good, and afford me all the comfort and relief by day and candlelight that I could desire. I feel much pleasure in handing you this testimonial for the great advantage I have derived, and shall be most happy to make this statement to any inquiry that may be made. I am, Gentlemen, your most obedient servant, J. Sawyer June 22, 1842."—Observe the Messrs. Solomons have no con nexion with persons of the same name in Ireland and Scotland, they do not employ any travellers nor agents; the genuine arti cles are only to be had in London, at their establishments, 39, Albe. marle-street, Piccadilly, opposite the Yolk Hotel, and 76, King William-street, City. L ADVERTISEMENT. j IMPORTANT TO ALL THOSE WHO EXPECT TO DE RIVE BENEFIT FROM DRINKING SODA WATER.—Schweppe's Soda Water is so universally known and appreciated, not only throughout the United Kingdom, but throughout the civilised world, that any enconium on its merits might appear super fluous; but as since its original introduction, upwards of half a century since, many imitators have started up, with more or less claims to public patronage, J. S. and Co. take the liberty of reminding their friends and the public that the above Cele brated Water continues to be manufactured on the largest scale and upon the most scientific principles at their chief es tablishment, 51, Berners-street, London; and also at their three branch Manufactories in Liverpool, Bristol, and Derby ; and that consumers may be supplied with the genuine article at most of the respectable Chemists, Confectioners, and Italian Warehouses in every pro v i nce o f t h e U n i ted Kingdom. The just reputation of their manufacture, and the consequent de mand for it, have tempted unprincipled persons (many of them of apparent respectability) to practice a deception, against which Schweppe and Co. are anxious to caution the public The deception referred to is that of passing off a spurious article for " Szthweppe's." by selling it in Schweppe's marked bottles. The temptation to this is, the cheapness of the infe rior water, although in most cases the consumer is charged the same. By this artifice a common water is surreptitiously palmed on the public for the genuine —the reputation of the latter is prejudiced by the substitution of a bad article—and a certain proportion of the public patronage diverted from its legitimate channel. To obviate these several evils, Schweppe and Co. have adopted the plan of placing a Red Label over tho cork of each bottle, representing the Royal Appointment in the centre, and the name of their firm on each side, with out which none is genuine. Schweppe and Co. refer with pride to the fact that they constantly supply the Royal Palaces of London and Windsor, as well as the principal Nobility in the three kingdirms ; nor is the demand for their Soda Water less constant on the continent and in other parts of the world. Merchants and Shippers in general connected with the East and West Indies and our numerous Colonies are continually transmitting orders received from their respective agents and correspondents, and highly gratifying is the testimouy Schweppe and Co. are in the habit of receiving from gentle men returned from abroad, of the luxury afforded them by their Soda Water when met with in tropical climates, and of the high condition in whi c h it i s generally found. The Pater ordered for foreign countries is manufactured with an express reference to its destination, and it is well known that no other can equally well end ure th e var i at i ons of climate. Schweppe , s Lemonade is an elegant preparation of mere recent intro duction, but from its refreshing and wholesome properties is rapidly getting into extensive reputation. It is an effervescing draught of most agreeable flavour, and made of the best mate rials, without regard to cost. Physicians and medical men constantly recommend it in cases of fever, &c., nor is it less de sirable as an article of luxury. Every genuine bottle will have a yellow lable on its side, with the name and address of the Arm. ...Schw.eppe and Co. are the largest importers of the German Seltzer Water, which they receive direct from the springs, in quarts and pints, and which they offer to the public in the original packages.

The next division of life profits will take place in December, 1846, being an interval of five years, and persons entering be fore the Ist of August next will enjoy one year's additional rating, and rank at next division of profits for five complete year=.

GRAZELEY LODGE ESTATE, with PARK GROUNDS, extending to 60 ACRES, within a ring-fence, and considerable Common Right, extending over all the Parish. MR. GEORGE ROBINS is directed by the Proptintor to offer to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY NEXT, the 21st of -July, at Twelve o'Clock, in one Lot, A SINGULARLY DESIRABLE FREEHOLD ESTATE, equally eligible as an Investment for Capital, or for an Abode. It consists of the GRAZELEY LODGE ESTATE, most delightfully situate within three miles of Reading, on the road to Newbury and Basingstoke, and secluded from it by a row of Ornamental Laurels, a Hawthorn hedge, and neat Chain Railing. It is accounted one of the prettiest things in Reading's vicinity, which, it is known, is famed for the wealth and respect ability of thoee who live around it. THIS ELEGANT AND VERY CHASTE VILLA within A TWO HOURS' RIDE FROM LONDON, is placed on a Lawn of extraordinary beauty, and considerable ex tent, and the front, which overlooks the road, is adorned by A STONE GALLERY AND BALCONY, so beautifully constructed as to be the great feature OH the road. The columns are of iron, and the order is Corinthian. It is ap. proached by a noble flight of steps. The Lawn is resp'endent in every thing that is recherche in the Botanical world, with full grown timber in Limes, and Chesnuts studded about in pleasing negli gence, with Plants and Flowering Shrubs without any apparent termination. But it will be well first to return to the habitation. IT IS QUITE AN ITALIAN VILLA, and in the best taste imaginable, with the additional advantage that substantiality in the erection is conspicuous every where. The walls seem to claim relationship with perpetuity, and as it re_ gards convenience and inteinal comfort, it cannot be exceeded. All the Rooms are lofty, and consequently very airy, of excellent proportions, and the Bed-room Department not to be exceeded. THE GRAND SUITE OF ROOMS are adapted to a first-rate family; or, by the way, at this interesting moment of doubt, while the Elective Franchise of Reading is in abeyance, if a gentleman of fortune and characterbe tempted into this enviable purchase, there is no good reason why he may not count upon adding M.P. to his present honours. The cellars are famous, and it only needs to let hospitality be placed conspicuously at Grazely to accomplish this great event. Sociality and respec tability preside in this vicinity. 'Litt to return to this little his • tory. The residence, it has been observed, is quite perfect ; the subordinate offices are in excellent keeping, and a kitchen fit for the chef of the representative of Reading. In the court-yard are two stables with eight stalls, two coach-houses for six carriagese depository over for hay and straw, and coachman's room. THE FARM YARD, on a petite scale, is everything that can be wished for; all the buildings are famous; and close by are two additional slips of garden for potatoes and vegetables. By the way it has been omitted to state there is A CArITAL KITCHEN. GARDEN, plentifully stocked, enclosed by lofty walls, and a prolific orchard h: rd by, that gives promise of 100 bushels of apples and pears this season. THE LODGE ENTREE is of pretty design, and the drive to this little abode of comfort is through the luxuriant grounds. SHENFIELD CHURCH (a pretty object) is only a Mile and a half off, with three pews for the family. AND THE RIGHTS ARE UNRESTRICTED OVER THE COMMONS IN SHENFIELD PARISH. Connected with this valuable Purchase, there is yet in store another feature, A DOMAIN OF SIXTY ACRES OF RICH PARK-LIKE LAND, WITH SOME FAMOUS ARABLE; the latter growing at this moment 6 quarters of Wheat per acre, and the soil is congenial for all the purposes of Agriculture. In fine, it would be difficult considering its limited extent) to find a more enviable purchase throughout the favoured county of Berke. Particulars may be had at the Bear Hotel, Reading; the Auction Mart; and at Mr. Robins' Offices, London. ON CHAMPION HILL. One of the PILLARS of that ADMIRED VICINITY to the GREAT METROPOLIS, with EXTENSIVE LAWN. PLEASURE GROUND, and PADDOCKS, extending to near FIFTEEN ACRES, all in a RING FENCE, and in most per fect order. MR. GEORGE ROBINS has the pleasure announce that he is directed to offer to PUBLIC AUC TION, at the Mart, London, on THURSDAY Nexr, 21st July, at Twelve o'Clock, in One Lot, an ESTATE OF CONSIDERABLE IMPORTANCE, nd one that may be assimilated to a FREEHOLD TENURE, inasmuch as it is entirely EXEMPT FROAI ANY GROUND RENT, save only for the accommodation meadows. It consists of ONE OF THE ADMIRED SUBURBAN VILLAS ON CHAMPION HILL PRIVATE ROAD, a remove of three short miles from the Royal Exchange, sur rounded by a little host of Bankers and rich Merchants, who have in clusters selected this spot as the mcst delightful, and, at the same time, convenient in respect to their daily labours. It is no longer a matter of doubt that it stands conspicuous for its superio rity to any other easy remove from London, Society can he se. cured to any extent, or avoided without difficulty. It may be ob. served the outward form of THIS ELEGANT ITALIAN VILLA does not give promise of the consequence that a closer investiga. tion will render manifest. It is almost too modest and unprc_ tending for the delight and comfort that prevails within. It is quite equal in every respect to accommodate most perfectly the family of a merchant of high standing—indeed, in going over it. the composer of this sketch tried how, by ingenuity, it could be rendered more conducive to comfort, but he essayed in vain; and the offices, from beginning to end, are in thorough keening with the whole. This delightful abode does not belong to the class of modern buildings, for beside everything the most fastidious mind can suggest, there is a solidity that has recently been too much out of fashion. The view from the extended lawn is quite a picture. The gal leries and balcony are not of common place; they are, indeed, alike, useful and ornamental, partaking of views that are not merely of considerable extent, but include a landscape, that is one of incomparable beauty. One of the great delights that Champion Hill especially claims at its own, is that although within half an hour's drive of the scat of daily profit, there is a quietude--a sort of repose, throughout the grounds, !hat seems to estrange London from this locality. The grounds are of consi derable extent and loveliness, in which everything that can heighten their natural claims has been achieved. American plants are in every corner, the cedars of Lebanon feathering to the ground, and the Portugal laurels, (some of them eighty feet around), the arbor vitae, and a little army of Rhododendums, seem all to aspire to aid in this scene of delight and with A BEAUTIFUL CON S ERVATORY, PINERY, AND GRAPERY, seem to leave nothing for the most fastidious to desire. There are two Kitchen Gardens; and at the extremity of the first Pad dock is a second Lawn of great beauty, with an almost superabund ance of shrubs and flowers, with ornamental Summer Houses; then the strawberry and vegetable gardens, with fruit trees well selected; at the termination of the whole is the Gardner's abode. surrounded by all sorts of useful offices ; in short, every appendage to a little Farm ; and there are SIX RICH PADDOCKS, OF A PARK-LIKE CHARACTER. to complete all that human invention could have desired. In front of the Villa is an Orchard and Kitchen Garden, which numbers amongst other advantages the certainty that NO BUILDING OPERATION CAN INTERPOSE its unwelcome appearance here. In the Courtyard is a double Coach-house, The i s e term i e;sStalls, 2 loose boxes an d men servants'-room ; in short,everything s that a reasonabl e m i nd can think of or enjoy. near fifty years, and no ground-rent. The P Particulars may be had on the premise s , b ut the Villa cannot o d ac d h c are subject only to six guineas an acre. therehks to seen without a card; also at the Auction Mart, and at Covent-garden. SALES BY AUCTION IN GLOUCESTERSHIRE ON THE BORDERS OF WOR. CESTERSHIRE. AN INVESTMENT OF GREAT PROMISE TO ALL THOSE WHO DESIRE TO PURCHASE WITHOUT APPREHENSION. —THE GRAFTON ESTATE IS 506 ACRES OF FIRST-RATE LAND, WITHIN A RING FENCE, FREE FROM TITHES, AND AN UNEXCEP. TIONABLE TENANTRY. NT .R. GEORGE ROBINS is desired by the _a_ Proprietor to offer to PUBLIC COMPETITION, at the Auction Mart, London, on THURSDAY, the 28th of July, at Twelve o'Clock, in One Let, A FREEHOLD ESTATE of considerable value, and one that seems not to have a single alloy to counteract it. THE GRAFTON ESTATE . _ has long since acquired considerable renown, which may be traced in a great degree to the superiority of the soil; although it wit presently be seen that it numbers many other ingredients to enlist a purchaser into THIS SOUND INVESTMENT FOR CAPITAL. The property is situate close to some of the best markets in Eng. land. It is only 6 miles from Tewkesbury and Evesham ; 9 from Cheltenham; and only 0 THREE MILES FROM THE RAILWAY STATION. It comprehends nearly THE WHOLE VILLAGE OF GRAFTON. which, on a more familiar acquaintance, will strongly bring to re collection the beautiful delineation given to "OUR VILLAGE," BY MISS MITFORD. The tenantry are all cong rega t e d h ere, and- a more complete picture of contentment and happiness is nowhere to be found. There are THREE MOST CAPITAL DAIRY FARMS, ENTIRELY EXEMPT FROM TITHES, AND VERY MODERATE OUTGOINGS. It has been observed they are dairy farms, inasmuch as come of the best Gloucester cheese is yearly traoed to Grafton; but a purchaser may at this present writing see some of the most PRODUCTIVE .CROPS OF CORN THROUGHOUT ENGLAND, a circumstance not very difficult of comprehension when it is called to mind that THE ESTATE IS IN THE GOLDEN VALE of Evesham. A turnpike-road passes through it to Tewkesbury and Cheltenham, and the roads around it in every direction are capital, with CHELTENHAM, THE FIRST WATERING-PLACE IN ENGLAND, Within an hour's drive. THE BECKFORD INN AND HOTEL approximates upon the Property, and, from the comfort that pre. sides within, is a feature in this interesting spot. THE ORCHARDING IS ABUNDANT, and gives promise of so much Cyder and Perry this season, that it may fairly be inferred it will improve " THE WAYS AND MEANS" of the honest trio who compose the happy tenantry upon Grafton, and who (with ancestors of ancient date) have for many a long year reposed in profitable delight in our village. It would be quite impossible for a purchaser to select three more re spectable or more talented yeomen than Messrs. Izard, Crump, and Martin. The estate consists of FIVE HUNDRED AND SIX ACRES of first-race Land, and no Tithe, including Plantations enough to diversify and improve the picture; the country around it present ing a landscape that is almost comparable to the famed beauties of Devonshire. The tenantry have never had leases, and from their high respectability and good management, have been so fortunate as to continue, a very long period, at an inadequate rent of 8001. a-year. The time has arrived when, without doing them wrong, the rental may be increased to ONE THOUSAND POUNDS CLEAR PER ANNUM. And amongst the agremens connected with Grafton, it being with. out the annoyance of an overgrown house upon it, is one of some import To conclude, it may be well to observe, that the rents are paid most punctually ; and Lavater has marked conspicuously on their countenances that the word abatement never entered into their imagination, The Estate can be seen, by the kind permission of these intel ligent occupants. Particulars, and a plan, may be had at the Beckford Hotel, close at hand; also at the leading Inns at Tewkes. bury and Evesham; and the Royal Hotel, Cheltenham; of Mr. Hobbs, Auctioneer, Worcester; Messrs. Bolton, Mertiman, and Dunning, Solicitors, Austin Friars; the Mart; and in Covent Garden. PUBLICATIONS.

Hope Ever ! = 4 . - LONDON: TUESDAY MORNING, JULY 19, 1842. The distress of the country was brought uneer the notice of both Houses last night by petition-, Ind we gather from the answer which Lord WHARNCLIFFE gave to the Earl of RADNOR, that the Knisters rely on giving relief by the tariff reviving trade. They have un doubtedly much better means of judging than we have ; they are probably warranted in hoping somewhat from the extended business of the Custom-house during th e last week ; they are countenanced in such hopes by the great praise bestowed on the tariff in its progress by their opponents ; and though we still retain our opinion that it will do little or nothing to relieve the serious distress of the people, we must suppose that the Ministers, with their better knowledge, have a strong and an abiding conviction that it will have this effect, or, doing nothing else, they must be the most fool hardy lunatics that ever stood at the head of a nation's affairs. Though differing from them we give them credit for such a belief, and we infer from it that, so bel:eving, they will rely on the laws they have already passed, and will do nothing mere whatever to comply with the wishes and the prayers of the Anti-Corn-law party. The deputations, the meet ings, the memorials, the prayers, the supplications, the threats, the pictures of deep distress, the riots in the Potteries, seem all lost on the Ministers ; they 'are satisfied with their own decision. they have confidence in their own wisdom, and by what they have done they mean hopefully to abide. Believing that the several descriptions we have from time to time published of the great, growing, and urgent distress in Leeds, Stockport, Bolton, Paisley, Man chester, Bury, &c. kc., are not exaggerated, dread ing that it will increase, and dreading that the most serious consequences, even much violence, may be the result, we look on this resolution of the Mini sters as of fatal augury to the pubic welfare. There seems now nothing left for the suffering people, but the workhouse or the grave, though despair will no doubt, -, ( in some cases, prompt to wild and dangerous measures. The Ministers, however, it is plain, do not fear a revolt. They have barracks everywhere. They hold in their hand a powerful military force, which they let slip in companies or regiments as the case requires. They transport them by rail or steam, so as to multiply their means, and they ride triumphant and powerful over the disorganised masses, whether scattered in hamlets or collected in towns, whom the law dooms to poverty, des titution, and death. Their military power is supported, too, by nearly 15,000 yeomanry, and a larger army of police collected in the towns and scattered through the country, which is entirely at their command. Moreover, the bulk of the middle classes everywhere, whether embodied into yeomanry or commanding the police, or merely connected with the various contrivances and establishments for preserving political obedience, or interested in preserving it, make common cause with the aristocracy, and assure it, in any contest with the lower-classes, a ruinous triumph. There may be violence, there may be out breaks, there may be incendiarism, property may be destroyed to a great extent, there may be wide-spread misery and death, but the Government of the aris tocracy, supported by the! middle classes, and having also at its command the vast military, and organised means we have described, is not alarmed, however much it might deprecate the temporary evils, for the ultimate consequences of any attempt at revolution. It believes that it is completely master of its own course and master of the people. Having no faith in the utility of such an organised means of oppression on the one hand, and of the slavery which it inflicts on the other—far from believing, and even strenuously denyi ng . t h at political order is social happiness, we deeply regret this present mastery of th e unrighteous monopolists. But the middle classes, some of whom now begin to suffer from it, are themselves to blame. Who are the worshippers, the toadies of the ar i s t ocracy , w ho imitate all their manners, even to their vices—who have no other idea of human grandeur, or of the nobility of man, than a titled wealthy aristocrat ? The middle classes. Who in the people's House, and out of the House, are the great champions of the aristocracy and all their acts ? Who set up a shout of faction and rebellion, whenever it is proposed to draw off the vital strength of the aristocratic Government by_stopping the supplies ? The Liberals of the middle classes. Who honour and administer the laws, barbarous and brutal though they be? The middle classes. Who con stitute our most diligent, most learned, most zealous bar- ,
