COUNTESS GREY AND THE TARTANS.---Lady Grey and her amiable family, before leaving Edinburgh, sup plied themselves with tartan dresses in honour of the country which had received them with such grateful enthusiasm. Lady Grey, with that modesty of taste which suits her retired charac ter, selected a satin dress of the Abercromby tartan, one di vested of the more gaudy colours. On Saturday, the 13th, his Grace the Archbishop of York, held a confirmation in Newark church, when he ad ministered that rite to 941 young persons, principally from the country. Immediately after he set off for Tuxford, and held a confirmation there. -It is above four years since his Grace held a confirmation at Newark, at that time there were 1,891 per sons confirmed—compared with this year, it is a proof that this rite is on the wane.—Stamford News. The Montpellier Rotunda has never, in our recollec tion, been graced by so numerous and brilliant an assemblage of the world of fashion as on the evening of Thursday last, when the Quadrille Ball was honoured by the presence of nearly five hundred of our most distinguished residents and vi sitors.—Cheltenham Journal. It is a fact by no means curious or rare, that, though London is deserted, there are at present very few first rate residences in Cheltenham unoccupied,—so entirely has this highly-favoured watering-place become the favourite rural resort of all the rank, fashion, wealth, and distinction of the country.— Cheltenham Journal. The Duke of Wellington is at Walmer Castle, where a select party of relatives and distinguished persons are on a visit to his Grace. The Duke seems to take an active interest in the works now going on at Dover for enlarging and extend ing and extending the pier, by which greater facilities will be given to the entrance and exit of shipping, especially in stormy weather. More than 2,000,0001. sterling has already been expended on this pier, and it is said that 1,000,0001. more is required to complete the present plan. The Duke of Wel lington, accompanied by his brother, Lord Cowley, has in spected the progress of the new works every day since their arrival in Kent. They usually go f?om Walmer to Dover in a sort of jaunting car. The late Mr. Blackwood corresponded himself with all the contributors to his Magazine, and by this means in creased their attachment to it and himself. He was extremely liberal in the remuneration he gave for contributions. Other publishers regulate the price they give for articles by the length to which they extend ; but Mr. Blackwood, when he met with an article that particularly pleased him, would often give four times the price for it which it would have brought if paid by the sheet, adding, when authors would have expressed their surprise at his liberality, that he never paid for literature by the yard, as if paying fora piece of cloth, but that he wished to measure the quality rather than the quantity. The Maga zine has a circulation of nearly 9,000 copies monthly.__ Morning Paper. - - ROYAL KENT THEATRE, KENSINGTON.---This elegant little theatre closed for the season on Saturday night, when it was fully attended. The performances consisted of The Broken Sword ; or, the Torrent of the Valley. After which, The Barber of Kensington; and concluded with the pantomime of Harlequin and the Fairy of the Silver Star. During the evening an appropriate address was spoken by Mr. Raymond. We understand that is the intention of Captain Forbes, the spirited proprietor, to re-open it on the 22d of next month, when he will be joined in the undertaking by se veral gentlemen of high repute in the theatrical world. Ma dame Vestris, and several other celebrated performers, are spoken of as being engaged. The theatre will be consider ably enlarged, and undergo various alterations during the re cess ; and it is the intention of the proprietor to apply for a licence at the next Quarter Sessions, which, we doubt not, lie will obtain, as it will not be opposed by the Local Magis trates. On Saturday last, in the neighbourhood of Chester, a labouring man walked six miles in 48 minutes for a trifling wager. OlL.—There is no further news from the fishery. All common oils are nominal for the moment. A parcel of South Sea oil sold at public sale last week, at 221. 10s. to 221. 155., being 20s. per tun lower than the previous week. Lin seed oil continues of heavy sale ; very little rape oil left, 465. paid for refined. Olive oils in good demand. " Why don't you wear your ring, my dear ?" says a father, in some play, to his daughter. " Because, papa, it hurts me when any body squeezes my hand." " What business have you to have your hand squeezed ?" " Certainly not ; but still, you know, papa, one would like to keep it in squeezable order. MAN DROWNED.—On Saturday last a pilot of the name of Cullen, at Feathard, whilst sculling the jolly-boat of the Western Star, fell overboard. Although the water was quite still, and in depth not more than eight feet, and the man considered a very expert swimmer, yet we regret to state that life was extinct before assistance could be rendered him. It is supposed he was seized with cramp.— WexfordFreeman. On Saturday last one of those disgraceful exhibi tions, which we had hoped for the credit of both sexes was abolished, took place in the Cattle-market, Nottingham • a man from Derbyshire produced his wife, with a new halter round her neck, and publicly disposed of her for the sum of 2s. 6d. She was purchased by a man with whom she had previously cohabited for four years.—Nottingham Mercury. ROBINS OUTDONE.-Last week, a person in the neighbourhood of Keswick, having several hives of bees to dis pose of, and being desirous to attract purchasers, caused a placard to be printed, announcing the sale, with the following extraordinary head lines :—" Extensive sale of live stock, comprising not less than one hundred andforty thousand head, with an unlimited right of pasturage I " The trick succeeded to admiration. The Monks of La Trappe, established on a wild tract of land at New Melleray, County Waterford, have al ready brought into profitable cultivation upwards of 100 acres of ground which plough or spade had never before touched. They have planted 30,000 young trees on the mountain, and their garden has this year produced cabbage, potatoes, tur nips, cauliflowers, and other vegetables. They have 600 acres of mountain in their possession. SELF-DESTRUCTION.—This day there was an In quest held in the city Bridewell before Henry Hardy, Esq., Coroner, on the body of Josiah M'Luish, Captain of the brig Zephyr, of Swansea. It appeared that yesterday evening the unfortunate man flung himself into the river from his vessel at about six o'clock, in the presence of several individuals. Some philanthropic persons plunged in after him, and in ten minutes succeeded in bringing him on shore, but it was then too late, life was extinct. Verdict—" Threw himself into the river udder mental depression and derangement."—Cork Chron. SUPPOSED MURDER.—A considerable sensation was caused in Wick on Friday last, in consequence of a report that the captain of a vessel, the St. Andrew, of Kirkcud bright, had murdered his wife at sea, betwixt Orkney and Wick. On the passage the cry of murder was heard, when the seamen and others went below and found the captain beat in.- his wife in a very violent manner. On reaching the bay of Wick, medical aid was called in, but the poor woman only lived three hours. A precognition of the circumstances was made on Saturday, and the captain was committed to gaol.— Scotch Paper. FIRE NEAR ROCHDALE.—On Monday evening last, about half-past ten o'clock, a woollen mill, known by the name of Jackey Brown's factory, near Rochdale, was dis covered to be on fire. The alarm soon reached Rochdale, and by half-past eleven o'clock four engines were on the spot ; but in spite of all that could be done, the whole building was burnt to the ground. The building was not insured, but part of the machinery was. The factory was rented by Mr. John Grayson, who also belonged to the machinery. The fire is said to have originated on account of the scutching machine wanting oil. —Liverpool Chronicle. V ILL ANOUS IMPOSITION.—The Cornubia steamer from Gottenburg, which arrived here on Sunday last, expe rienced, on Saturday, a heavy gale off the Dogger Bank. The situation of those on board was one of much inconvenience, which was greatly aggravated by the circumstance of their being entirely destitute of fresh water, the men who were en gaged to fill the casks at Gottenburg having returned them full of sea water, which they had doubtless obtained with greater ease than fresh. It is the intention of the master to proceed against the scoundrels who passed upon him this cruel hoax. —Hull Advertiser. EXPEDITION TO CENTRAL AFRICA.—On Thursday morning the expedition for exploring Central Africa, under the command of Dr. Smith, proceeded on its perilous undertaking. The party consists of Dr. Smith, Captain Edye, of the 98th Regiment, Mr. Charles Bell, Mr. Burroiv, besides two Gentlemen from India, who will accompany them as far as Lattakoo. They were escorted in the morning to a considerable distance on their journey by Sir John Herschell, Mr. M' Clear, the Astronomer Royal, Mr. Meadows, and Baron , Von Ludwige, gentlemen attached to them by friend ship and a common zeal for discovery. They started in excel lent spirits, making allowance for those feelings the occasion .. excited, when solicitude for the safe return of these enter men was mixed up with sincere friendship and esteem. Indeed the history of all former expeditions to the interior wofheAfricagreatest a pro,te prudence e much eee a h h a d z a a a rd dre m ss us a t incurred, re be exereised.T even present has b een Planned with much care, and, considering the talents of those The whole eiaed, the best results may be antici pated.expedition will assemble at Graaff Reinet, which will be the point of departure ane on barracks their i bold in t he morning enterprise.

The tonnaget rates in the year ending May, 1833, yielded 1970/. ; in the year r ending May, 1834, 20771. The expense for attendance and e former year was 3706/., and the latter 38031. ,r p h a e irs in the c° sioners anticipate an increase of their revenue in the currentrimis year from the announcement of a new steam vessel of a capa city suitable to the increasing demands of the trade between the Clyde and the east coast. Being of 136 horse power, her size will compel her to abandon the passage of the Crinan ca nal, and to make the voyage round the Mull of Cantyre. It is expected that she will commence plying at the latter part of the present season. The income of the Crinan canal in •1832 was 17661. ;in 1833, 20491. The number of passengers in 1832 was 9594 ; in 1833, it was 12,777. On some of the glass forming 0 the lamps in Paris the names of the streets are inscribed. It is desirable, says one of the Paris Journals, that a similar inscription should be made upon every lamp at the corner of each street. This would prove useful at night, not only to strangers, but to the Parisians themselves. SEIZURE OF TOBACCO.—On Saturday evening, Lieutenant Charleston, of the Water Guard station, belonging to Cork, having received information that the schooner Abet, of Dartmouth, 87 tons register, Thomas Tipper, commander, with a crew of three men, apparently loaded with calm, eon tained a quantity of tobacco in bales, boarded her at Black.. rock, and found the information correct. The number of bales is not known, but from the statement of the crew, it is sup posed to be between 380 and 400. She was cleared out at Neath with a cargo of culm, for Cork. The captain and crew have been left in gaol.—Cork Chronicle. UNSTAMPED NEWSPA PERS.—HULL, SEPT. 19. —The stamp-office in London has ordered prosecutions at law against Mr. Acland, for selling his unstamped paper, called the Hull Radical and Eastern Star. The Mayor, T. B. Locke, Esq., summoned him to appear last week to answer five informations. The verdict of the magistrates was that the defendant was guilty of all the charges contained in the five informations. The sentence was, that he should be fined in the sum of 1001., or in default of the payment thereof, to be imprisoned for the space of six months in the common gaol of Hull. ORNAMENTAL CHIMNEYS.—Another tall chim ney has now reared its head amongst us, and seems not only to prove an extension of our staple trade, but an improvement in taste. We allude to the steam chimney just completed for Messrs. J. Rodger and Suns, by an able townsman, Mr. S. Worth. It is octagonal, and finished at top with a capital of ornamental stone work. The great height - of the chimney (150 feet), and the elevated ground on which it stands, ren der it a very conspicuous object from the surrounding country. We hope this specimen of tasteful architecture will stimulate to further improvement the future builders of these structures. —Sheffield Independent. HORSES.—CAUTION.—Mr. Beeson, veterinary surgeon, of Amersham, being called to examine two very fine horses that had died suddenly withont any apparent cause, discovered in the stomachs some portions of yew-tree, which it seems the horses, having stood under the, tree, had eagerly eaten. The poison was surprisingly rapid in its effects. They were a 3 and 5-year-old that died, and could not have been estimated at less than 501. or 551. the two. There were no svmptoms of the slightest kind observed before they fell : the driver says they went very well, and only staggered a few paces, dropped, and before the harness could be taken off they were dead. They died in about three hours after eating the yew. Cattle and sheep are equally affected by this poison. It is with much real gratification that we find the improvements made by Mr. Samuel Hall, of Basford, in the steam engine, have given the utmost satisfaction wherever they have been tried ; and lately a Surveyor from the Admi ralty has been down in Nottingham, expressly for the purpose of examining the improvements, as we believe a Government steam vessel is to be erected, in which the engines are to be constructed upon Mr. Hall's plan ; and there is every proba bility of the other Government steamers undergoing the ne cesary alterations, to bring their engines to act on the same system. The saving of fuel, and many other expenses, is re presented as being extremely important to all persons who use steam power.—Nottingham Mercury. On a careful and minute inquiry into the condition of a portion of the female sex in London, it has been calcu lated that the number of females of a certain class exceeds 80,000 ; that there are at present 15,000 girls, children of the poor, who have no visible means of subsistence, the greater part of whom are trained to every variety of vice, and are without shelter at home. It is also ascertained that the number of female servants in London it 165,732 ; that the time each servant remains in one situation, by an average taken at seven different periods, is 462 days, consequently on an average 3513 leave their situations every day. Seven oat of every ten are young women from the country. MR. AUDUBON.—This distinguished ornithologist, whose drawings of American birds have obtained universal celebrity, is now on a visit to Manchester. In the journey from which he has returned, he travelled through the Floridas, and along the coasts of the United States, as far north as the Labrador ; and in the course of it he obtained specimens of many rare and of some previously unknown species of birds, particularly of water birds, which will be given in the third volume of his great work, the three first numbers of which are now in the course of publication. Independent of his acquisi tions in ornithology, Mr. Audubon has obtained much valuable and new matter in natural history, which will appear in his second volume of Ornithological Biography. - - - INFANTICIDE.—On Monday the dead body of a new-born male child was found under a plank which is used as a bridge over a small stream near Cock-mill, about a mile and a half from Whitby. The body was wrapped up in an old cotton apron, and enclosed in a canvass or tick pillow-case, and presented such marks as led to the suspicion that it had been murdered. An inquest has been held on the body, the result of which is a verdict of "Wilful murder" against Ann Johnson, the mother of the child, and Elizabeth Hodgson, mother of Johnson, both widows. It appeared Hodgson had been the principal in the murder, and Johnson, who had been clandestinely delivered, had aided and abetted her. They have both been committed to York Castle to take their trials, PRESERVATION OF EGGS.—Take a dish of any kind that is sufficient to hold the quantity of eggs to be pre_ served, and place each egg in a perpendicular position—the smaller end downwards—and surround it completely with com mon salt as it is packed in the dish. The advantages resulting from this simple method are many ; besides leaving it in the power of families to lay in their winter stock at a low price, when the supply in the market is abundant, and having them quite fresh during all the year, it relieves them from the dis agreeable necessity cf sending out their servants to the market during the stormy months of winter, independently of always having a sufficient supply, and never too many, as the eggs will be found as fresh years after as when first enveloped in the salt. The advantage to the seafaring world is still more apparent.—Dumfries Courier. - - - - - The hospitable and newly-enlarged mansion of Hawkstone was, on Friday, a scene of unbounded festivity, in the entertainment of several hundreds of the tenants and friends of the family of Sir Rowland Hill.

THE ANNUITY TAX.--W e are happy to under stand that our fellow-citizens are again on the alert on this important subject. Comraittees, both of the Town Council and the Merchant Company, have held conferences with Mr. Abercromby, Sir John Campbell, and the Lord Advocate, during the present week, on the subject ; and it is proposed that the principal municipal bodies of the city should appoint delegates to meet together and agree on the heads of a bill to be introduced into Parliament early in the next session. We strongly recommend union on this subject to the citizens, and each to forego a little rather than run any risk of losing all for a single season longer. We believe there is considerable doubts whether the Church-rates Bill will be urged next ses sion of Parliament. If that is the case, we have the greater need to be up and doing anent our Annuity Tax.—Edinburgh Chronicle. ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Yesterday forenoon, a young lad, about 17 years of age, named John Jones, appren tice to Mr. Gibson, farrier, in Webb's-lane, Hammersmith, threw himself into the river, near Brandenburg-house. For tunately some persons were passing in a boat at the moment, who immediately rowed to the spot, and after getting him ashore, conveyed him in a state of insensibility to the City Arms, at the foot of the suspension bridge. Medical assist ance was instantly procured, and after the greatest exertions being used for some time, he was sufficiently recovered to be taken home. The only reason that can be assigned for his attempting the rash act is, that having staid out until near 12 o'clock on Sunday night, and then returned in a state of in toxication, his master reproved him on the impropriety of h hie s conduct, to which he made no reply. Yesterday m ornin g got up at his usual hour, and continued at work until about 11 o'clock, when he went out, saying he would go and get some thing to drink, but instead of doing so, it appears he went to the water-side, and threw himself in. CORONERS.— Ile examination of the bodies of those persons who have died from poison involves some of the most intricate questions of medical pathology, and the analysis of substances suspected of containing poison is one of the most difficult subjects for the exercise of the chemist's skill, and should be intrusted to those only to whom the constant habit of performing experiments has communicated practical dexte rity. It would be absurd to look for such knowledge in legal coroners, nor indeed is it to be expected in the generality of medical coroners, so long as they are selected without any re gard to qualification, but generally to serve the purpose of some dirty political traffic—in short, such is the present state of our law respecting the duties of coroners, that one might be tempted to term the whole proceeding of their courts a " solemn farce," were it not a melancholy fact that the life of a fellow-creature may be, and often has been, sacrificed through the inaccuracy of their investigations. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A MERCHANT'S CLERIC. — A young man of respectable appearance, named William James Crow, was placed before the Mayor on a charge of embezz ling various sums of money belonging to his employers, Messrs. Highfield and Co., merchants. It appeared from the evidence, that the prisoner was employed by the complainant s as Customhouse clerk, to pay the dues on vessels, &c. The prisoner kept a book of disbursements, in which it appeared that he had paid the sum of 41. 2s. I Id. for light dues on a ship called the Award, bound for Leghorn, and it was dis covered that instead of 4/. 2s. 11d., the prisoner had only paid 1/. 2s. 11d. for dues. The entries were in his own hand writing, and, on being taxed with the fraud, he acknowledged having altered the IL 2s. 11d. to 4/. 2s. 11d. This species of embezzlement was proved not only in this case, but in others, and the prisoner baying nothing to urge in bis defence was committed for trial.—Liverpool Chronicle.

MARTIN'S-IN-THE-FlELDS.—Yesterday, in pursuance of notice, a meeting was held of the inhabitants of this parish, for the purpose of adopting the first Report of the Committee of Vestry to inquire into the state of the affairs of the parish. The vestry room was crowded to, excess before ten o'clock. Mr. Hayes, senior churchwarden, was unani mously called to the chair. Before, however, the business could be proceeded with, the crowd had become so great that the meeting was obliged to adjourn to the large room at the top of the building, which was also found too small to hold one-half of the numbers assembled; therefore they were com pelled to adjourn a second time to the large yard of the work house in Castle-street, where they commenced the business for which they had assembled. Mr. Simpson, the junior church.. warden, read the Report ; when the Chairman moved each section separately, which, after several lengthened conversa tions, and some amendments, which were, however, all lost or withdrawn, the Report was almost unanimously adopted, by which the parishioners saved in the Church Establishment 6461. 12s. annually. A gentleman demanded a poll respect ing the salary of the organist, which was immediately granted. The greatest interest among the parishioners was manifested, and occasionally during the progress of the proceedings there was much noise and confusion. At six o'clock the poll books were closed, after which the Vestry was adjourned till to morrow, when the result of the poll would be made known. ANECDOTE OF BONAPARTE.—One of the ladies to whom I had the pleasure of being presented during my short stay at Ems, was the Countess d'H. The father of this lady was one of the conspirators against the life of Napoleon ; he was arrested and condemned to death. Before the day was fixed for his execution, his wife, a high born German lady, obtained admittance to the Emperor, and besought her hus band's pardon in that tone of deep and true feeling which ge nerally finds an answering chord to vibrate with it in the hearts of others. Napoleon, was vexed, distressed, doubting, and deeply touched. The trembling wife stood before him, wait ing a double doom. " Madame," he said at length, " while such a proof as I have here," drawing a paper from a bundle that lay on the table," while such a proof as I have here ex i sts , I cannot pardon your husband." As he spoke, he placed in her hand a paper, on which the crime was too surely acknowledged under the signature of the accused. She clasped the scroll firmly, and fixing her eyes on those of Na poleon, read something, even as he turned them from her, which gave her strength to rush towards the hearth, and in an instant the record had blazed and perished. The happy, but trembling woman, once more sought the eyes of the Emperor, but in vain ; one hand hid them from her view, and the other waved her from him. The sentence against her husband was revised : and proof of his guilt being imperfect, the doom was changed to that of banishment. —Mrs. Trollope's Belgium and Germany. How ART MAY AID AGRICULTURE.—The late adopting precautionary vilson of and Taylors land, es unfavourable w eather with the risks incurred, and the loss ac cruing in consequence , have p ut inventio n on the rack, as to the land, near Gasstown, who threw out so m any valuable hints regarding the taint in the potat e cro p , ha s " been laying , " as Mr. Rankine would say, " his bra ins asteep." What he pro posesis, to have a square board , four feet long and eighteen inches square, with a very slight handle attached, to place such an instrument near the bottom of the stack after the over-man begins to build, and to pull it up gradually until he comes near the easing or thickest part of the rick. After this, its use may be dispensed with until the first stack is finished, and a second commenced. By means of this expe dient, an upright ventilator or chimney is produced ; and when the thickest part of the stack is reached, Mr. Wilson sug gests the propriety of introducing two lateral boards, four feet long, and eighteen inches square, with knobs or slight handles by which they may be pulled out, and laid aside for the next operation. In this way a series of ricks, one after another, might be completely ventilated, and the risk of heating avert ed even during moist or rainy weather. Grain too, were this plan adopted, might be led or stacked comparatively early with impunity; and as the apparatus is extremely simple, would only cost five or six shillings, and might be preserved entire for twenty years, it seems worthy, to say the least, of a fair trial. —Dumfries Courier. RELIGIOUS INSTRUCTION IN THE ARMY NOT urn , unmoor TO RIGID DISCIPLINE.—When my regiment was quartered in Ireland, one of the soldiers had made it a constant practice to kneel down by his bedside, every morning and every night, to offer up prayer to Almighty God. This drew on him the sneers and decision of many of his comrades who were in the same barrackroom ; and, at last, their scoffs led to more serious consequences, for they annoyed him and ill treated him in a variety of ways. The man never made any complaint, but still persevered in what he considered to be his duty : at length, however, a sergeant, who could not bear to see the poor fellow thus constantly exposed to the ill-treatment of his companions, reported the case to the officer in command : that officer inquired what was the man's conduct, in the regi ment ; the sergeant replied, that he was always sober—that no man was more attentive to his duty as a soldier, and that he was always found ready to go on any duty which was com manded. The officer took immediate measures to prevent any further annoyance ; though he was one of those discipli narians, who would not for an instant have listened to the allegation of the man's piety as an excuse for any remission of his duty. Indeed, it would be impossible in a regiment for a man to be only externally pious for the purpose of getting a good same, without having his hypocrisy immediately de tected, and treated, as it would deserve to be, with contempt and derision. Knowledge has made its way into the army, and is still growing there : the only way to give it a proper direction, is, to add to it, or rather to found it upon that true knowledge, which is only to be derivbd from the sacred volume.-114. Gen. Tolley. LORD BROUGHAM AND THE TIMES NEWSPAPER. (From the Manchester Guardian.) The attention and space we have been obliged for the last two or three weeks to devote to local circumstances have rendered us unable until now to notice, as we could have wished, the extraordinary manner in which the editor of the Times has recently turned round upon Lord Brougham, and the reiterated and ferocious attacks which he has directed against that nobleman. That there are some points open to attack in Lord Brougham's character and conduct, may be very readily admitted. Like other men he has his faults ; like other men of genius he appears sometimes to act from impulse rather than from deliberate and settled principle ; we think he is obnoxious to the charge of being occasionally capricious ; careless of what impressions his conduct may produce on the opinions of others respecting him ; careless of things which on a superficial glance may seem to be essential to consistency ; that he sometimes deals too much in paradox or hyperbole is too irritable ; forgetful of his proper dignity ; and occasionally seeks to effect objects by some thing like finesse, which might be much better and more readily accomplished by a direct and straight-forward course. _ _ But with all this, where is the man who has deserved better of his country ? Where is the man who has effected half so much for _creating a love of knowledge and diffusing it amongst the public ? Who is there that has used nobler or more persevering exertions for the furtherance of popular education ? When, in the course of more than twenty years, the disappointments of neglect on the one hand, and temptations of place or ministerial patronage on the other, induced so many members of his profession to abandon their early opinions, that want of principle became almost.a standard imputation against the Bar, unflinchingly maintained the, views which he had originally adopted, sacrificing no conscientious feeling to his political ambition ; but content to await for the appreciation of his character and conduct, the gradual development of those juster and more liberal notions on public affairs which he had the sa gacity to perceive were in progress, and on the swelling tide of which he has been borne to that commanding ele vation which he now occupies. In that elevation he has not forgotten the principles and the promises of his earlier life. Nearly twenty-two years have now elapsed since he declared that he wished for no higher eulogy on his monument, than to be recognised as " a friend of peace and of the people," and throughout the whole of his subse quent career, out of office and in office, he Its vindicated his claim to the title. We shall not dwell on those eminent services which, sim ply as one of the members of a reforming cabinet, he has rendered in connection with his colleagues. We may claim for him a high degree of merit in a sphere peculiarly his own. . The reforms in the Court of Chancery, great as they are now acknowledged to be, must, from the nature of the case, be mainly ascribable to himself ; of the mode in which justice is administered in that highest court of equity, ha must necessarily bear the exclusive responsibility. What effect is likely thus to be produced on his reputation, we are happy in having a high authority to show. Referring a few days ago to a file of the Times, we stumbled, in a lead ing article of that journal, of the 18th March last, on the following passage. It enables us to exhibit in so striking and attractive a light the consistency and the principle of that paper, that we could not refrain from presenting the extract to our readers, especially as we believe the Times has hitherto been so fortunate as not to have had it remem bered. It will be found to present a striking contrast with some extracts which we shall append to it : " Since writing these remarks we have read the report of a conversation in the House of Lords, to which we invite the attention of our readers. The Lord Chancellor was indirectly put on his defence, and a more triumphant vindication we have never seen. The statement exhibits to the public, what is already known to, that branch of the profession practising in Chancery, that a more indefatigable, a more pains -taking, a more punctual Judge never presided in any Court in any pe riod of our legal annals. His Lordship, by his persevering attention, his unremitting assiduity, and his unexampled regu larity, has afforded a striking proof that talents of the highest order, and eloquence of matchless power, can descend with cheerfulness and ease to the monotonous duties of the most laborious and patient drudgery. The dullest fag who ever plodded without a thought beyond the pale of the technicalities of his profession, never worked so hard and so constantly, as the man whom even his enemies allow to be endowed with the most brilliant and comprehensive intellect of his age and country." Such, in the serious judgment of the editor of the Times, were the conduct and capacity of Lord Brougham on the 18th of March, 1834. What does he say of his Lordship now ? After professing in his publication of August 23d (we are gorry to say that we believe without a shadow of truth) to have been assured by some correspondennt that the Lord Chancellor was the author of some well-timed re bukes of the versatility and want of principle of the Times which had appeared in the Caledonian Mercury, and which imputed to it that it "wanted to be no less than prime mi nister of Britain," it proceeds as follows " There is fustian in it, and vulgar fustian—such as befits a bashaw with more tails than O'Connell, when he deigup to communicate with one, and that the most mangy tail among them. This tale, which, like the oyster in Mother Goose, is ' made to vociferate for the one shilling gallery, accuses us of being extremely arrogant' for wanting to be no less than Prime Minister of Britain.' Is that, then, the highest point of human arrogance, 'to want to be Primo Minister of Bri tain ?' If so, Lord Brougham and Vaux is no doubt ex tremely modest. But if we have wanted to be Prime Minister at least we have not been guilty of and fraudulent or base ma noeuvres in the pursuit of that brilliant but elusive prize. We have not intrigued for it, nor lied for it, nor fawned, nor slan dered, nor betrayed, nor undermined, nor sacrificed any man — neither the colleagu6 who trusted, nor him who, knowing us, thoroughly despised us. If we have ' sought to direct the royal councils' in the formation of a cabinet, we have not played contemptible and mountebank tricks to persuade people that we did direct those councils, and that we were actually (when we were not) authorized to share with Lord Melbourne in the trust of submitting the choice of a cabinet to his Ma jesty. We did not pretend to be honoured with the King's co mmands nor with the Royal confidence, while we knew that the King would sooner behold a mad dog enter his coun cil-chamber than see us approach within five miles of Wind sor. We never gave out to servants and hangers-on that we were going to- Windsor, when we ordered a post-chaise to take us no further than Putney-bridge. If we were conscious of being called by the whole world the cracked and crazy weathercock'of the House of Lords, we should not dare to whisper about ' weathercock evolutions,' or eccentric career,' or ' capricious and erratic exhibitions,' or ' reckless and incon siderate pilots.'" The charges against a person whom the Times had here tofore been accustomed to eulogize so highly as we have shown, are somewhat remarkable. Perhaps, however, they might be disposed of in a similar way to what the Times has itself been accustomed to adopt on like occasions. " We had thought," says the Times of March 18th, from which we have already quoted, " that the blaze of truth which we have thrown upon so many of the calumnies against the Lord Chancellor, would have overwhelmed the authors of them NVith shame, and made them silent ; but we have been mistaken." Our extract from the Times of August 23d, however, rather impeaches the moral integrity than the talents of the Lord Chancellor ; and therefore does not stand in such startling contrast with the first citation we have made, as does that which we are now about to supply from the Times of Aug. 26'. " After an - examination of the tissue of error and false reasoning which the Chancellor wove with such unlucky inge nuity out of the partial evidence of the Poor Law Commis sioners, we feel most forcibly the truth of one remark in his speech ;itis as follows Ignorance has no bounds. Un happily, science has its limits, and they are not hard to reach ; but ignorance is endless, unconfined, inexhaustible. Ever new in invention, though all its productions are wretched and worthless,—always surprizing you, though mingling pity and contempt with wonderment ; and never is it more daring in its inroads upon our credulity—never is it more strange in the antic feats it performs,—never more curious in the fantastic tricks it plays, than when its gambols are performed in the per sons of men dressed in a little brief authority, or who would fain be so attired, and who really are decked habitually in pre sumption that almost passes belief.' " We have never seen a remark so strongly supported by example as in the speech before us. The speaker has hit him self off with singular truth. Perhaps the portrait may be a little strengthened in likeness by substituting quackery for ig norance, though persons acquainted with the furniture of Lord Brougham's mind know that it is like the specimens of an upholsterer's show room—some piece of every set, but nothing in completeness and arrangement—a lumber of fineries, odds and ends, at once more or less than necessary to the fitting of any one mansion of the understanding." To this also we are enabled to reply in the words of the Times of March 18th, on which day the editor seems to be unconsciously constructing a priori answers to his own future vituperations : _ _ _ " The subtle author of these charges against the Lord Chancellor must have known full well himself the treachery of them, and respectable journals should be cautious of suffer ing themselves to be gulled by such a person. " They should indeed ; but if the Times is " gulled" by its editor, it is quite certain that the public is not. Re cent events have rendered th a t moat clearly manifest. We well know it is pretended by the Times that the change in its tone towards Lord Brougham has hem in duced by misbehavi our , by an abandonment of principle, on his part ; and th e following is an extract, in which it has sought to justify its recent conduct on that plea : The Times for fifteen years praised, supported —or, if you will, patronized his Lordship. So long as we supposed Lord Broughom to be actuated by honourable and elevated motives guided by fixed and enlightened principles—aspiring to power through none but direct and manly means—disposed to use it virtuously, and capable of using it wisely, we did by every possible exertion, through evil report and good, zealously, boldly, indefatigably—nay, if we had said affectionately, it would be no more than the .fact—strive to maintain and ex tend the influence of Lord Brougham throughout :all classes of society : we supported the man whom we believed to be true, upright—whatever we might sometimes have thought of his discretion. But what would good men think of us if. discovering the same person to be no better than a miserable trickster, whom none could rely upon without paying dear for their simplicity, we changed our course, and sought by ex posing his (to speak mildly) errors, to save others from being misled, as we had been, and the country from any further risk of suffering confidence misplaced." All this is mighty fine and patriotic ; but where are the facts ? Where are the proofs of Lord Brougham's incapacity, duplicity, quackery, and the other heavy offences he is charged with ? Long and loudly has die Times been called on to specify them ; but most doggedly has the call been disregarded. Meantime the people began to specu late what could be the motive for that savage hostility to his Lordship which the Times had latterly displayed. Rea soning from the ancient and consistently-supported cha racter of that paper, they at length came to the conclusion that it was not patriotism, but private spleen, which guided the editor's pen ; that Lord Brougham had in some way or other crossed the path of the " leading journal," and thus committed an offence against its dignity, for which nothing less than his political annihilation' could afford a commensurate revenge. At length, in a moment of unac customed candour, the Times suffered the truth to slip out, and, in so doing, amply justified the worst suspicions that had been entertained respecting it. In its number of Sep tember 6, it says : " A man loves his wife, and treats her with affectionate re gard and attention: he suddenly finds that in return for his love she has wronged him by gross and repeated infidelities. He repudiates her with contempt. Is his conduct unreason able? A man esteems his friend, feels the warmest interest in his success, exerts himself to the utmost, finding and making opportunities to render him essential service : he suddenly learns that his friend has, by way of compensation, villified and calumniated him, and done every thing in his power to injure his character and property., He repels him with disgust, and thinks it his duty to unmask the cheat. Is such conduct un just? And yet there are noodles who call such well war ranted manifestations of disdain and displeasure inconsisten cies. The public know better, and can call things by their right names. It is the treacherous friend who is inconsistent, and not the man whom he has betrayed. Here, then, we have, the Times 's own acknowledgment of the inducement to its recent course. The editor says the Lord Chancellor has " done everything in his power to injure his character and property." It is for this then—on this at best private, but also unproved provocation, that he is represented as, in effect, one of the greatest public rene gades, one of the most abandoned betrayers of popular principles, one of the most arrant quacks of the day ! It was not likely that the people would be deceived either by the aspersions of the Times on the Lord Chan cellor, or by its pretences as to its own motives. And as suredly they have not been. The enthusiastic reception which the Lord Chancellor has experienced in all parts of Scotland, which he has recently visited, prove to demon stration that his character and services are appreciated as they merit, and that the calumnies and defamations of the Times have either come unheeded before the public eye, or done no injury but to itself. So far as we ourselves are concerned, they have merely given renewed strength to an opinion which more than 20 years' constant perusal of the Times had previously led us to form, that, with all its activity and talent—with all its occasionally splendid services to the public cause—it has very little real principle, is utterly unscrupulous in its con duct towards those who have offended it, and would rather commit a hundred acts of injustice than make one acknow ledgment of error.
