The Company is formed under a direct concession granted by the Imperial Government, for the purpose of promoting and extending commercial and financial relations between Austria and England. These relations are daily increasing in importance under the influence of the ameliorated political and fiscal system which has been definitively adopted by the Austrian Administration and Legislature. The Company will carry on the ordinary business of a Bank of Deposit. Discount, and Exchange, and all operations con nected with Bankingtransactions and Financial Agency. The head office will be inVienna, with branches at Trieste,Prague, Brunn, and other towns in the Austrian empire in which it may be found profitable from time to time to form establish ments. In England, the interests of the Bank will be represented, and the business conducted by the English members of the Board, Messrs. Glyn, Mills, and Co. being the Financia► Agents and Bankers of the Company. The 1 Directors point with sati4action to their having se cured the services of Mr. Francis Breuer as th it London Ma nager. Mr. Breuer's experience of German Commercial and Financial husiness acquired during 25 years' service with the firm of Messrs. Fruhling and Goschen—pecu'iarly qualify him for the efficient performance of the important duties to which he has been appointed. The Concession has been obtained by the Directors, and made over by them to the Company, without consideration or other charge than the preliminary expenses, which will be limited to the disbursements made, and are of small amount. The Company has not been bronght forward until, by car, - ful negotiation, it has been a'certained that its formation is desired by the Austrian Executive, and that, besides the grant of a direct concession, the Imperial Government will be pre pared to open an account current with the head office of the Bank, and to employ the branches of the institution in a va • riety of ways, in facilitating the revenue collections and other operations of the Government, not overlooking the import ance of the measures which are being constantly directed to the complete re-establishment of the paper currency upon the soundest basis. As some evidence of the satisfactory result of the negotla. tions which have taken place the directors are authorised to insert in this Prospectus the following extracts from a Minute delivered to the Company by his Excellency M. Von Plener, the Minister of Finance at Vienna, viz.:— " Referring. to the fact that one of the principal objects of the establishment of the proposed Anglo-Austrian Bank, is to facilitate operations in Austrian Securities, and having regard also to the desire of the Imperial Government to aid as far as practicable in bringing about a closer union between the financial and commercial interests of Austria and England than at present exists, the Imperial Government intends (so far as it should appear to itself comoatible with the success of their financial measures—and with any legal direction Which may ne specially orescribed in ref arence to any parti cular operation) to give to the Bank the opportunity of under taking such financial operations-whether the issue of loans, Placing of bonds or otherwise ; as the Government may de sire to effect on the London market. "The Government also intends to open an account-current With th.e Bank." There cannot be any question as to the profitable nature of the field for the operations of a banking establishment in Austria, conducted on sound principles. There are few recent changes of more importance and in terest than the remarkable advance which Austria has made due-ng the last few years under the influence of its thoroughly rev ised policy. The harmony happily established between the Imperial Government and the representatives of the different orders of the State, as assembled in the Reichsrath, has removed most of the impediments which formerly prevents d Austria from enjoying the benefits of its vast commercial and agricultural resources. Supported by the free debates of the Parliament, the Government has been enabled to enter with vizour upon If,. fiscal policy founded upon tree-trade views ; and to apply, inmany directions, measures spec i al l y a d ap t e d t o d eve lope the wealth and enterprise of the country. River steam navi gation has assumed large proportions. The extent of rail ways in operation has increased from 1,7(0 English miles in 1855 to nearly 4,000 in the present year; and the railway system has been actually completed up to a point which leaves few of the leading districts of the empire unsupplied. Still more important has been the marked increase in the ac tivity of private trade and in the magnitude of individual enterprise; and that this altered state of things is solid and real, is sufficiently attested by the great recovery of the Aus trian finances during the last two years. Under the measures passed in 1562, the paper currency is in rapid process of re form —and since June of that year, the Exchange on London has improved from 140 to 110 in favour of Vienna The rise in the price of Austrian Government Stock, since the same date, being equal, upon an average, to 22 per cent. th l e n i the speech delivered by the Emperor, at the opening; of ininm e t t i chsrath, in June last (186:1), he was able to dwell pro ne finances on the improved aspect of affairs, and to state that require empire have so rapidly improved during uPiraerli th cae e raseonfttrYhe recess that the Government will not now deficiences twelve millions of forMs voted last year to cover then anticipated. Between 1851 and 1561 the export and import trade of Austria may be said to have doubled but even at its present amount of. say, 50 sterling , it is still very far below the capabilities of the 40 millionss Austrian rea o t2 subjects, 4o oo square who inhabit provinces extending to an miles, in the most fertile and diversified parts a Southern Europe. When it is proposed, therefore, to extend to Austria the appliances of Banking, according to sound English Princi ples, it is important to bear in mind that the new intstitution is not carried to a field already full or offering few advan tages, but is applied precisely under those circumstances in which the success of Banks has been most conspicuous— viz., to a rich country, and an enterprising people entering with every encouragement upon the development of their skill and their resources. In the statutes, as passed by the Government,lmperial firi capital is divided into Shares of £5O or 500 ea cli , but, in consequence of representations made to the Dieraecditloyrsn-,eagnod in order to render the Shares of the Bank more r tiable in the principal money-markets of the Continent, te the Government-has been solicited to authorise £2O as h de nomination of the Shares, and an assurance has been received that such application will be granted. To avoid delay in the estabiishment of the Bank, it has been decided to issue the capital in Scrip Certificates of £2O each, exchangeable hereafter (at a date to be announced. and when £6 has been paid thereon) into Shares to bear as above stated. Under the revised Austrian Commercial Code, the payment per £2O Scrip Certificate, equal to 30 per cent. of the capital, will enable the Bank to commence business at once, with the advantage of limited liability, and without further demands upon its shareholders. A Copy of the Concession and Statutes will be deposited at the office of the Solicitors to the Company, 46, Parliament street, W estminster. ,Tollie Applications made in London for Scrip Certificates tx t l t. li he addressed to the Directors in England at the Offices ae eon , e Company ; but no application will be considered, unless for if:P an ted by the receipt of Messrs.

FRANCIS BREUER , Manager: — 10, Birchin-Ane, Lombard-street, EX., October 12,1- o i gitY PROSPECTUS. The Discount Corporation is established to aid the mone tary arrangements of the increasing commercial interests of Great Britain and its dependencies. In founding this undertaking the Directors have secured the co-operation of an old and highly-respected Discount Firm in London, with whom arrangements have been made for the transfer of its lucrative business to this Corporation, and two of whose partners join the Direction. It will thus ba manifest that the Discount Corporation starts with a large and valuable connection, and acquires the experience of Directors whose influence and intelligence are certain to command the confidence of the public. The material basis of the Corporation will be a large sub scribed Capital, judicially distributed. The recent creation of several large Indian and Colonial banking institutions, coupled with the expanding home and continental trades of the country, and the greatly extending commercial transactions with India and the (Monies, lead to the conviction that greater disc=nting facilities than at pre sent exist are required. An establishment, which from its ample means will be able to supply such requirements, will no doubt be favourably re ceived by the trading community, and will at the same time afford a safe and profitable return equally to those who seek the permanent investment of their money, and to those who merely desire the temporary employment of their surplus funds. The known profitable operations of the old private Dis count Firms, and the new Discount Companies, give the as surance that a purely Discount business, prudently managed, will prove a complete success. The Head Office of the Corporation will be in London. No promotion-move/ will be given for originating the undertaking, and the preliminary expenses will be strictly confined to such as are indispensable. Applications for Shares may be addressed in the annexed form to the Directors, end copies of the prospectus may be obtained at the Tevriporary Offices of the Corporation, or at the Offices of the Brokers and Solicitors ; but no application witl be considered unless a deposit of £1 per scare on the number of shares applied for has been paid.

It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it maPbe rendered capable of admitting into its ward s a ve large roportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week. The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued support, to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

From that time Mrs. Daniells, meeting with every en couragement from the General commanding, and assisted by many officers, has worked with unceas ing assiduity ; and now the fruit of her labours is to be seen in the hail which has just been opened near the South Cavalry Barracks. The foundation-stone was laid on Feb. 11 by the E irl of Shaftesbury, and the work has been just nine mo nths in hand. The main hall of tue building is intended to accom modate 800 persons. It also contains a library, reading-room, coffee bar, soup kitchen, class-room;, and the like ; and it is intended also to establish a sewing class, where soldiers' wives will be employed in making clothes, which will be sold at a little over cost price. Yesterday, at 3 o'clock, there was a special service, which was largely attended, when a suitable opening address was delivered by the Rev. W. Pennefather, of Barnet. Special services are announced to take place during the present week, in which the Earl of Cavan, Lord 11. Cholmondeley, Lord Radstock, the Hon. A. Kinnaird, M.P., Col. Travers, Capt. Trotter, Capt. Fishbourne, the Rev. Dr. Rule, Mr. R. Baxter, and Mr. Richd. Weaver are expected to take part. The half-yearly inspections of troops have been going on vigorously at Aldershott during the past fortnight. On Friday, the 2d inst., the Royal Dragoons, under Lieut.-Col. Wardlaw, and on the following day th© 6th (Carabineers), under Lieut.- Col. Sawyer, were inspected by Major-Gen. Hodge, C. 8., commanding the brigade of cavalry. On Monday the Major-General inspected the 13th Hussars, under Lieut.-Col. Jenyns, C. 8., and it is gratifying to find that the gallant officer expressed himself highly satisfied with the training, discip line, and degree of efficiency exhibited by the whole of the troops of the brigade. On Monday and Tuesday Brigadier-Gen. Bates inspected the 2d battalion 90th Rifles, under Col. Rigaud. On Tues day the Ist battalion, 6th Regiment, under Colonel Lowe, C. 8., was inspected by Major-Gen. Brook Taylor. On Wednesday the 73d Regiment (Lieut.- Col. Jones) was inspected by the same officer; and on Tuesday Gen. Taylor inspected the 37th Regi ment.

Moro of M anchester, att i re d in their magnific ent satin robes, richly adorned with gold and silver, and, preceded by two white- sur pliced boys bearing enormous wax tapers, also pro• ceeded to the entrance of the church to receive his Majesty. The Archimandrite Morphinos bore a copy of the Old and New Testament, enshrined in a magnificent binding, and carried reverently across the breast. His Majcsty,who was attended byCouut Sponneck, Baron Guldencrone, Lieut.Fanch, Lieut. Lett], Dr. Philemon, and Professor Koeppel], was conducted to the position assigned to him, when the service immediately began by the choir, conducted by M. N. Covas, chanting the Psalm of David —Ls sees Miry Ws6 OE6s ' Hpew (" Who is so great a god as our God ?") After which a mass of St. Chrysostom was chanted, and then portions of the Evangelists were read by the officiating minister. A short pause ensued, and then the officiating priests, preceded. by the boys with tapers, entered the body of the church (which was kept clear of the congregation), bearing the sacramental elements and a richly adorned cross. The service altogether was marked by much splendour of ceremonial, and the hymns and other portions were beautifully chanted. The effect was very grand, even though unaccompanied by any instrumental music, as such is forbidden in the Greek Church, where singing is universally in use. Three prayers were also offered—one for his Majesty by the Archimandrite Morphinos, the second for all the faithful by the Archimandrite Stratoulis, and the third for those who died in the cause of independence by M. Moms. A beautiful Hymn to the King was also sung. At the conclusion of the liturgy the grand Te Deum burst from the choir, and almost electrified the congregation by the marvel lous grandeur of the music and the ability with which it was executed. The words were the same as in the "Te Deum laudamus," sung in our own church. The service was concluded by the benediction from M. Morphinos, when the King quitted the church, and was conducted to the door by the deputation who received his Majesty at his entrance, preceded by the officiating ministers. There was no ebullition of feeling on the depar ture of the King, as might have been expected from the permission given by M. Morphinos; but outside the church in London-wall there was an immense crowd assembled, partly composed of Greeks, but the greater portion were the residents of the locality. Some cheering took place, but it was not of a very enthusiastic nature on the part of the English, who were, we hope, restrained by a feeling of the sacred ness due to the day, and the Greeks, for whom every allowance must be made under the circum stances, were too few in number to be very effectual in their cheering, though their loyalty was abun dantly manifest. The rle Deuni, the Hymn, as well as some of tl.e other pieces of sacred music, were composed expressly for the occasion by M. Covas, the master and leader of the choir, and from the general satisfaction they gave he is to be congratulated on his success. M. Coves, through diligent study, has been able to com bine in the compositions the impressive tunes of the ancient sacred music of the Greek Church with the harmony of the new European school, which is a very difficult work, and deserves every praise. We understand that he has dedicated these works to his ellenic Maj esty. Te Deiuu at the Greek Church. The small but important community of Greek merchants in London manifested their fidelity to George 1., the second King of Greece, by causing a grand 76 Daum to be sung yesterday in honour of his Majesty at the Greek Church in London Wall, on which occasion the King kindly honoured his subjects dwelling in London by his presence. The church is a small but well-built edifice in the Byzantine style, having a high vaulted roof. It was erected about 20 years since by the Greek residents of London, who bought the ground and expended altogether about £20,000 in the work. In order to accommodate a tithe of the applicants for admission a gallery was erected at the end of the church oppo site the altar, but the other arrangements were, we believe, the same as on ordinary occasions, except that the pillars supporting the gallery on either side were entwined with white and red roses, intermixed with gilt laurel leaves, the same means of decoration being continued round the arches above the galleries. The front of the gallery erected for the occasion was draped with crimson cloth, and decorated with gilt ornaments, and in the centre was the following in scription, " l'ic;)pytos Buo - tXti,s row tXXipiow—Zirruo,'' ("Live George King of the Greeks.") Besides the decorations already alluded to, at the top of the pillars and between the arches were the flags of England, Denmark, and Greece entwined, the Greek flag in the centre. As a further and symbolical sign of welcome, though somewhat a novel mode to English eyes, the carpet with which the floor of the church is covered, and also the steps leading to the altar, were strewn with laurel and bay leaves and sprigs of rosemary. The altar-screen of the church is ornamented with some beautiful paintings of scriptural subjects in accordance with the usual custom in the Greek churches, where graven images, with the exception of that of the cross, are not allowed, but where pictures aro freely displayed, and are held in such high honour that they are lavishly ornamented with gold and precious stones. In front of the altar were two beautiful gilt stands holding three tall wax tapers, while behind these were fixed two silver censers or lamps. It had been proposed to erect a throne for the accommodation of the King, but on this fact be coming known to his Majesty, he, with becoming modesty, declined to assent to this arrangement, and expressed his intention to stand during the service, the in accordance with the orthodox practice of Church in the kingdom of Gree ce, one of the three branches of " The Holy Orth odox Catholic and Apostolic Church." Thus , th en, it resulted that the only arrangement made for the King's aceomoda tionh rug on the - was the placing of a simple earth floor of the church in fron t of the pillars supporting the gallery to the left of the altar. As we have in timated, the applicat ions for admission made to the members of the committee were exceedingly nume rous, but, with a view to the proper accommodation of those to whom the favour was granted, the n u mber of tickets issued was very limited. The principal portion of the ladies were assigned places in the newly-erected gallery, while others were accommodated in one of the side galleries. The spaces beneath two of tho galleries were occupied exc l u sively by gentlemen ; while the gallery on the left of the altar was also devoted to the use of the male portion of the congregation, it being custo mary in the Greek churches to separate the sexes amongst the gentlemen present were M. Thorben de Bills, the Danish Minister in London ; Count Putiatino ; Mr. Hazlewood, chairman of the Greek bondholders. The following members of the Phil hellenic Committee were also present :—The Earl of Coventry, Vice-Admiral Burney, Mr. Jas. Wyld, MX., Mr. J. F. Maguire, M.P. (vice-presidents), Mr. John Locke, MX., Mr. J. Pope Hennessy, M.P., with the Hon. Secretary Stephanos Xenos, and the Secretary Mr. J. F. O'Brien. The only gentleman who wore the Greek costume was M. Chivas, of Cephalonia. The point as to dress was, as we understood, decided by his Majesty, who had suggested that simple English costume would be more desirable than the gaudy Greek habit. Among those present was also M. Eugenius Popoff, the priest of the Russian Church in London, wearing a clerical robe, and displaying the insignia of several orders and other decorations. He, however, took no part in the ceremony. As the doors had been opened at 10 o'clock, the majority of the congregation were in their places before 11, shortly after which hour the ilrcl►in►andrito Murphinos, the officiating miniater of the church, appeared at the centre opening ef the altar-screen, from which a gorgeous screencyr,.? he drawn aside, and recited some portiona dul ' y t he psalms and some short prayers, in w h riedlier o f the was assisted by M.

Cooke respectfully informs thoseladi es and gentle men who may require his opinion of their musical ability, voice, &c., that his terms for such information arsons guinea." At a certain Philharmonic Society there were a Mr. Mud docks (nom de guerre), and Popkins (font de bataille), who were exceedingly jealous of each other's singing; so jealous were they, that many of their musical reunions used to end in very wt-musical dis-unions; they were always quarrel ling with each other ; always impertinent with each other; and if they dared, would undoubtedly knock each other down, every Monday and Thursday evening, on which nights their " Choral Club" met. Such conduct, of course, could not escape being noticed by the other " mem bers," who were most anxious to reconcile them, but all attempts were ineffectual. However, one night, when their mutual rage was at its highest, one of the directors came forward, and. said, "Really, gentle men, this disturbance cannot be allowed. Pray, be quiet; do not set such an example." "But, sir," replied Mud docks, " this gentleman (pointing to Popkins) says he can sing better than me, why (tapping his bosom), tho idea is preposterous. He has no voice ; 'tis like a mustard spoon rubbed against a worsted stocking. He can't sing a note." "Pooh, pooh, pooh 1" chimed in Popkins, with a lisp and most surprising sang livid, "Now, what do you know about it, when the moment you open your mouth you put your foot in it ? You a singer ; why, the idea is ridiculous—non sensical—immensely impertinent." Muddocks, who could not restrain his wounded feelings, burst forth,—" I bet you ton pounds, sir, that I am the better singer of the two. and Tom Cooke shall decide." " Done, sir," calmly replied Popkins, " I bet you ten pounds ; and by this means let go put a stop to this confounded bickering."

After the examination had been passed, you may be sure they were naturally anxious for Mr. Cooke's opinion. Cooke was placed in rather a delicate position—to give his candid opinion was c • ertainly not a pleasant thing, especially on this oe , easion. they drove Lim to it—they would have it; they insisted; and after much hesitation, Mr. Coolie's opinion was as follows " Mr. Muddocks, after matureconsideration, and as you insist in having my opinion with regard to your singing, my candid opinion is that you, sir, can't sing at all I and as to my opinion of your singing , Mr. Popkins, why, I can only say, you are the worst sin: . ;•er .

THE GREAT SHIP.—A meeting of the commit tee of shareholders appointed at the special general meeting of the Great Ship Company on Friday, the 2d inst., to confer with the directors relative to the best steps to be taken to I elieve the undertaking from its present embarrass to the country, and back again, with the changes of the seasons ; saw his friends, and counselled his party. The death of a nonagenarian is rarely painful —rarely gives a lopg premonitory notice of its approach. Lord Lyndhurst literally " fell on sleep." The change was imperceptible. He did not experience the " durm inclementia mortis." The noble lord had been present at the marriage of his only child by his second marriage towards the close of June l a st. Those who saw, will not easily forget, the appearance of the aged father as he was borne on a kind of litter into St. George's, Hanover-square, his glassy eyes, his helpless limbs, and withal the inimitable neatness of his dress and the nobility of his countenance, which not even the troubles and work of 90 eventful years could efface. Curiously enough another nonagenarian had signed the re gister book of St. George's that morning—the Dowager Lady Grenville, widow of a Prime Mi nister of the last century, the accomplished Lord Grenville, Chancellor of the University of Oxford, w ho had been present, previous to the marriage of the Hon. Miss Copley, at the marriage of Mr. lirestby Moore with the daughter of the Hon. G. M. Fortescue. At the conclusion of the season his lordship left London for Tunbridge Wells " in ex cellent health." He returned to town a week or ten days ago, had an access of weakness, and died, as his father had done before him, in the old house in George-street, Hanover-square, which should henceforth be historically famous. By his first marriage with Mrs. Thomas, to which t have referred before, Lord Lyndhurst had a sou and four daughters. The son, John Singleton, born in August, 1824, died in September, 1825. His eldest daughter, Sarah, was born and died in 1820. Another daughter, the Hon. Susan Penelope Copleyborn 23d July, 1822, died 9th May, 1837. The eldest survivor of his daughters is the Hon.

OUR LADY NOVELISTS.—" Thirty years ago,'' says the Saturday Review, "no one could have believed what a brilliant future was going to open before the eyes of Englishwomen, and what a lucrative and en gaging profession was about to be created for their benefit. Authorship has introduced quite a new era in their existence. If they can but write novels their fortune is made, and if they cannot write novels they may write tales, or at the very least they can surely write tracts, and advice to the poor, and poetic musings. There are heights in their profession just as there are valleys, and no one can despise authoresses in the days of ' Adam Bede' and Heart's Ease.' The authoress of Adam Bede' goes, we confess, higher than we should have supposed a woman could go, for she unites many excellences that the world has hitherto thought reserved for men. If there is another woman who has ever shown original hu mour in print, we cannot recall her to mind. Romola' also makes it clear that she can enter into spiritual difficulties, and can view the range of spiritual facts with a breadth, a calmness, and an insight that we should, but for her, have considered exclusively masculine. Miss Martineau , too , though not very strong on subjects like these, shows that a woman can treat politics and political economy with and goo d sense .

Englishwomen, and it is very well worth e uminin '", what are the prospects it really holds out The brilliant career of Lord Lyndhurst amounts to a political and legal history of three reigns. It is a miracle of good fortune, a curious and unique chronicle of shrewdness,ability and consummate tact. It is the record of a life agitated by political pas sions up to the time when the veteran ceased to be a politician, and became, in his extreme old age, a patriot in whose wisdom and moderation both the great parties in the State could implicitly confide. Truly a strange and chequered life closed at five minutes to three o'clock this (Monday) morning, when the great ex-Chancellor breathed his last at his paternal house in George-street, Hanover square. Born an American loyalist under the sove reignty of George the Third, he saw his native place become the stronghold of ultra-republican Puri tanism, and witnessed the establishment of the Re public of which he has lived to see the irretrievable disruption. Whiggish in his youth, and friend and fellow-traveller of Volney, he accepted without scruple (though, perhaps, he may not have courted it as he appears to have done) the patronage of the Tory Prime Minister. He defended the State pri soners accused of sedition, bud was so little uncivil to the Government that he was baited for and in stantly hooked to the land of promise—the Treasury Bench—without the faintest show of wriggling. One of the grandest of his early speeches in the House of Commons was made against Roman Catholic emancipation. A few months later saw him Chancellor under the Minister whom he had attacked, and who harwithered him with a storm of merciless sarcasms in the previous debate. Holding a high judicial office which is understood to involve abstinence from party politics, he turned out a Ministry, and might, if he could, have formed another on its ruins. Such are some of the peculiar features in the history of Lord Lyndhurst. For the last 10 or 12 years, ho has held a truly enviable posi tion in the House of Lords and with the country. Lord Lyndhurst has lately kept aloof from party. Though voting with the Conservatives, and occa sionally assisting them with his counsel, he has poured forth the wealth of his eloquence, the mel lowed wisdom of his green old age, his wonderful stores of scholarship and historical illustration, his profound sagacity and the lessons of his varied ex perience for the benefit, not of his party, 'out of his country. It is on account of the imposing gran deur of his old age that we all lament his death, that the Queen and statesmen of all parties have daily made anxious inquiries after the health of the venerable peer. The great lawyer who was destined to be three times Lord High Chancellor of England, first saw the light in Boston, Massachussetts, within the transatlantic possessions of his King, George the Third, the date of his birth being the 21st May, 1772. His father and mother were both conspicuous persons in their way. John Singleton Copley (whose Christian names were his son's also) was a distinguished American artist. He was the son of a Mr. Richard Copley, of Limerick, by the daughter of Mr. John Singleton, an ancestor of the Single tons of Queinvillo Abbey, county Clare. Apropos of his profession, a carious story is told. In his boyhood he came down to dessert one even ing when his hospitable father was entertaining some of his aristocratic friends, and he found the company discussing the merits of the various pro fessions. " And what will you be ?" asked one of the guests to little John Copley. "Anything," inter posed his father, " except an artist." Mr. Copley then continued, " why not a lawyer ? The highest honours are open to a great lawyer. John may get a good circuit practice, may then become a King's counsel, may obtain a seat in Parliament, may then please his party and be appointed Solicitor-General, and Attorney-General—nay, Jack, if he is clever, and distinguishes himself in the House, may even become Lord Chancellor !" How this prophecy, which must at the time have seemed a rhapsody, was literally fulfilled is matter of history. But we anticipate. When Copley the younger was called to the bar the nation was in the threes of a great revolu tionary epoch. Paine's "Rights of Man" on one side, and Burke's fiery philippic on the other, were in every one's mouth. The young barrister was inclined to espouse the apparently generous side of liberty. He began his career with chambers in Brick-court, Temple, and in his second floor he had his first brief visits from Messrs. Willett and Co. and Mr Murray, whose son came to be his secretary in his chancellorship. He soon managed to secure a large business ; in fact, he acquired the greater part of that of Sergeant Rough, the leader of the circuit, who had fallen into bad odour with the at torneys. Copley was more fastidious than Gifford, who was said to draw pleas for almost nominal sums, but he made his way in time. He became first known in the higher circles of the law by his " Case of the double return for Horsham," in 1808. But it was not till nine years after this that the young lawyer attained any eminence out of " Nisi prius." In 1817 the demagogue, Henry Hunt, called a meeting in Spafiolds, which ended in the riots that led to the execution of Cashman, for the murder of a Mr. John Platt, and the trial, for high treason and sedition, of Arthur Thistlewood, James Watson, John Hooper and Thomas Preston. Sir Charles Wetherell and Mr. Copley were re tained for the defence. Sir Charles, though a ram pant old Tory, had conceivedsome spite against the Government, and in his speech for the defendants launched out into virulent abuse of the Ministry, its spies, and its general villanies. Mr. Copley was more shrewd, especially as Lord Liverpool was present, and in his address, which was a master piece of reasoning on the law of high treason, avoided the absurd indiscretion of his senior, much to the Premier's satisfaction. About this time Wetherell and Copley were toasted all over London as the " People's friend s !,, At the trial of the pub lisher of the Quarterly for an alleged libel on Col. Maceroni, Copley being for the defence, the Duke of Wellington and Lord Liverpool, who were sub were on the bench. So pleased peenaed in the case , was the earl with Mr. Copley's speech and manner, that he sent him an invitation to call on him after the trial. Did Mr. Copley want a seat in the House? Nothing better. It could easily be ma naged then, and Mr. Alexander Maconochie (after wards Lord Aleadowbank) resigning his seat, Mr. Copley was returned forthwith by Mr. Holmes for the borough of Ya rmouth, Isle of Wight, on the 28th of March, 1818, without any condition, pledge, or promise. Lord Liv e rpool is reported to have said (though the remark is also attributed to Lord Castlereagh), "I'll set my rat-trap for him, baited with Cheshire cheese." A - -ow months later saw Mr. Copley Chie f Justice of Chest e r in the room of Sergeant Best. It fell to the lot of Sir John Copley, as Solicitor- General, to take part in conducting the prosecution of the wretched P rincess of Wales. What a spec tacle was that ! The noble -looking Castlereagh, the " plucky" Sidmeeth , the calm and impassive Liverpool, the pr ofoundly - learned Eldon, the patrio tic and impulsiv e Greenand the honest and sagacious Lansdowne filled the seat of j ndgment, before which Copley pleaded , with a Lawrence to look on the scene with a painter's eye, and a Keane to study the play of the passions in the memorable scene befo re him. Sir John Copley's cross-examination of the witnesses on behalf of the Princess Caroline was t , :rrible in its tniunteness and its s e arching character; hot he behaved coutt"nslY to the unlucky object of a ll these long he offended no bod y on e ither side.
