Mr. CHILDERS' answer to the answers of his former speech has not been very successful, for he has done little mere than reiterate his already dis proved assertions, and totally ignores the facts put before him, that the seemingly economical expendi ture of the preceding Government was in reality a sham, since provisions were made and arrange ments were entered into which infallibly laid heavy burdens on future years. To say the least of it, this mode of comparing rival systems is most disingenuous, and the affair is worse when the criticism is merged into a trial of strength at a general election. It is a poor look out for the Liberals that they cannot originate for themselves, but must rest their claims for general support upon damaging their opponents, and contradicting all that they have done, while giving them the responsi bility of their own failures. Mr. CHILDERS had better look at home before he declares that never were more " errors" crowded to gether in one short statement than there were in the answer given to his attack. After ex pending a great deal of ingenuity on the point of proving that all the cheap years were Mr. GLAD STONE'S and all the dear ones Mr. DisitaELt's, the hon. member wound up his impressive passage by declaring that " a weak Government had found it more agreeable to say yes' and no' to the ever increasing demands on the public purse." To this we may fairly retort, that the strong Government which preceded the last one bid fair to make the country a very weak one so far as its defences were concerned. If we can make anything out of Mr. CHILDERs' policy in the matter of what should have been done instead of the far easier task of deciding what should not have been done, it seems to amount to this, that the reductions of Mr. GLADSTONE'S Ad ministration were not carried out. At any rate there is no doubt that the present Administration are not to blame for not reducing the army after the fashio❑ proposed. To have done this would not have been the way to carry out the recommen dations of the Commission. Mr. CIIILDERS thinks we have come to a very critical time in the history of the country, and that it is very necessary to keep our beads cool. This may be true, but something more is required from legislators and statesmen than that they should keep their heads cool, for it is equally, if not more, important that they should be " clear," and their views made comprehensible. Putting party con siderations aside, it will never answer to lay down particular rules for general emergencies ; and if we are to take the explanations given in this speech as illustrative of Mr. GLADSTONE'S policy, it must be said, without any disrespect, that the country has been well quit of his services for the last two years. It appears that whatever necessary augmentation be made in the Estimates, he would have made a corresponding decrease necessary or not, we may presume, as the case may be. In short, the right boa. gentleman's far-famed and world-wido financial policy is so very much like the bed of PROCRUSTES, and things must be made to fit it, for it cannot condescend to be elastic as the occasion requires. Suppose he had staid in office, and made the necessary im provements in the army any navy, it is curious to imagine what measures he might have considered it his duty to effect to meet the corresponding addi tions. It may be very ingenious to prop up a re putation by such means, but the representatives of the interests that may suffer thereby will hardly designate it as statesmanlike, and as carrying out a comprehensive and national policy. If we are forced into mixing with a European war, and have to defend some distant part of our possesiions, and nothing is ready, it will be but a poor consolation that the balance sheets of the Exchequer have been most neatly arranged, and that no outlay has appeared that has not been met by a corresponding reduction. Mr. CHILDERS re members to forget that the late Government re signed office leaving affairs in a very peculiar, not to say precarious, state, and that their successors must either have supplied the deficiencies or left the defences of the countrf a in a most melancholy condi tion. It is true that they might have declined to undertake the task at all, and professed their ina bility, and perhaps this was their end after all ; and it is useless to go farther to find out in what way they offended so as to draw down upon them such overwhelming censure, and to subject their deeds to such condemnatory criticism. In connection with the subject of political shortcomings, it is interesting to glance at the " New Political Catechism " that has been placarded at Whitby, and which offers a very good comparison of the doings and achievements of the last ten years or thereabouts. The Liberals, it is shown, got us into a war with China, built ships and did not man them, built forts and put no guns or men in them, passed a grinding and iniquitous Poor-law, led Denmark into war and then forsook her, caused the Abyssinian war, had a majority in the House of Commons and did not pass a Reform Bill. 1V hereas the other side of the shield shows that the Conservatives passed a comprehensive Reform Bill, saved Europe from a war on the Lux einburg question, demanded and obtained from Spain an apology for insult to England, grappled with the Alabama claims, and prevented a war with America, and vindicated English honour and rescued English men from slavery in Abyssinia. Who factiously op pos .d the Reform Bill which has given every ratepayer a vote ?" it is asked, in conclusion, and the answer is —" The GLADSTONES, father and son." Granting that this criticism is couleur de rose in one part, and has the brown shade cast over the other—that the compiler has been very kind to the virtues of the Conservatives, and a little blind to their faults, and vice versa as regards the Liberals, still a good deal of truth remains which e!ectors may mark and learn with profit. One striking proof of merit It is necessary to receive with some caution the statements which reach us from New York respect ing the disturbances in the Southern States, since it has become part of the regular electioneering programme of both sides to bring forward terrible stories. According to the Radical canvassers it is scarcely safe for a loyal white man to be seen in some parts of the South, and every individual case of accident or murder becomes the massacre of a body of Notherners. The Democrats, on the other hand, are quite ready to cap these assertions with terrible tales of negro violence, and, according to the pictures thus drawn, the Southern States just now are a kind of pandemonium. It is for tunate for all concerned that the facts of the case fall very far short of these fearful narratives. There can be no question that there is a great deal of local disturbance and angry feelings, and there are grounds, too, for apprehensions that the systematic agitation of the Radical agents will end by exciting the negroes to acts of violence and insubordination, which they will be powerless to control. At the same time it is suspicious that the most alarming stories usually come from those remote regions, like Arkansas and Texas, with which the communication is uncertain and dilatory. The disturbances reported from the Southern States more immediately within reach of the capital are described in the news of this morning as unim portant, though numerous. The Secretary of War, whose office is just now no sinecure, with the diffi culty of deciding between the conflicting appeals for his aid or his interference, has directed General THOMAS to furnish military assistance to the Courts of Law in the parts of Kentucky where the execution of the processes has been resisted by armed mobs. In Louisiana there have been some singular changes in the Legislature. The House of Repre • sentatives, in which the Radical element is clearly predominant, ousted a Democratic member, and gave his seat to the Radical candidate, who happened to be a negro. Whether this step proved to be too strong for the moderate members, or whether, as is usually the case, the Radicals themselves disliked the personal association with the black man is not stated, but it is certain that it was afterwards re considered, and it was resolved to declare the seat vacant. A reaction of this kind is inevitable wherever the Radical doctrines are actually put into practice, but much mischief may be done be fore the mass of the people are convinced of their extravagance. The members of the committee appointed by Congress to report ou the expediency of renewing the Reciprocity Treaty with Canada returned yes terday from a visit to Nova Scotia. Mr. BUTLER is one of these members, and this fact, coupled with the selection of Nova Scotia for their visit, does not indicate a very favourable inclination towards the renewal of the Treaty. So perverse and opinionated are the Radicals who dominate in Con gress that neither the remonstrances of the com mercial interest, nor the examination of facts and figures, will be likely to affect their decision. It is quite possible that the mere fact of the PRESIDENT and the Cabinet inclining in favour of the renewal may predispose them to decide against it. At the time when the notice of termination was given to Canada there was much angry feeling in the States against England, and Canada naturally was considered as, representing English in terests. It was a favourite project with the soldiers of fortune whom the war had left with out an occupation or source of profit to arrange an expedition against Canada. Happily the common sense of the country never allowed this scheme to get further than talk, and the sentiments of the people have altogether changed. No one now dreams of a war with England. Why, then, should the States on either side of the St. Lawrence be deprived of the advantages of a free commercial interchange? From Ottawa we learn that the trial of WHELAN for the murder of Mr. DARCY M'GEE commenced on the 7th, and strong circumstantial evidence of his guilt had been brought forward. The Fenians were making great efforts to save him, several head centres having arrived in Ottawa from the States with funds to assist his defence, and some members of the fraternity, we may presume, re sorted to stronger measures, since the witnesses against him received threatening letters. The At lantic Cable has since the departure of this news announced to us WHELAN's conviction and con demnation, so that fortunately those unworthy attempts to frustrate the course of justice have proved ineffectual. The festivities attending the majority of the Marquis of BUTE have been of such unusual splen dour that they have attracted a goad deal of atten tion. The young heir succeeds to such enormous wealth, and will exercise from his position so ex tended an influence, that his future course is one of deep interest to thousands of persons. In Scot land he owns vast hereditary estates which connect him closely with the agricultural interest. In Rothesay, too, he claims an intimate alliance with the manufacturers of the town, while in :Wales his father well-nigh created the now impor tant seaport of Cardiff. The vast mineral wealth of the Valley of the Taff needed an outlet, which the energy and enterprise of the late Marquis gave it by the caustruction of the docks which bear his name. This great work was not undertaken without a corresponding outlay, and Lord BUTE embarked his whole fortune in the enterprise. Its success has been ample, and Cardiff, which owes its prosperity to his efforts, has put on its gayest attire to do honour to the birthday of his son. The late Marquis's useful public career was prematurely closed, but during the long minority of his son his trustees have continued the works with spirit and prudence, so that they are able to con , gratulate the young heir on his accession to a MOSES and SON, 11-4 rERCILINT TAILORS and OUTFTITERS.

THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 19, 1868. in the Conservative policy has been its advocacy of ' th 3 Factory Bill and the Ten Hours' Bill, which were, it will be remembered, vehemently opposed by the Liberals, or the greater part of them at any rate. To go about talking of their devotion to the cause of the poor, and then to strive to defeat the measures calculated to relieve them seems most inconsistent, to say the least of it ; and it seems strange how their admirers can reconcile it to themselves. One of thesequeries may be well put to the Gladstoneites in the fair expectation of posing them--" Who were twenty-five years in office and did not reform the Irish Church ? ' Expenditure is not left out in this category, and accordingly we learn that the Income Tax was fivepence in the pound in one year of the Conservatives' Administration, and tenpence in the year of the GLADSTONE rule of the Exchequer; and that while the same wise management got the country's expenditure in one year to seventy-three millions, the skill of his opponents reduced it to sixty-four millions. It may be said, in summing up this matter, that, looking back to the period re ferred to in this list, the most efficient work has been done by those who made the least parade. Promises and professions have been rife among the Liberal leaders in Opposition, but the burden of office prevented them from fulfilling their pledges, and after all their opponents had to enact the part of performance. magnificent rent roll. So far as we can accept the indications of the present somewhat trying ordeal, the young marquis is likely to do honour to his lineage and his order. At the working men's impromptu dinner to which he was invited on visiting Cardiff, Lord BUTE delivered a short ad dress in returning thanks for his health, which gave evidence of a deep sense of the responsibilities entailed upon him by his vast wealth and exalted position. When he came into that great town, he said, ho saw the number of families nourished by its prosperity, and considered the hopes which they had formed of him, and the regard in which they held him for his father's sake, when he thought of his power for doing good or evil to many of them, and his own inexperience and weakness, he felt the weight of responsibility upon him to be almost crushing. He was, however, determined to do his best, and he hoped the men of Cardiff would help him. They must all work to gether, not only for the increase of wealth and power, and for success in the enterprise which had been begun, but for the increase of knowledge and purity, the amelioration of the misery, crime, and sin which surrounded them. The hearty cheers which greeted this appeal proved that the working men of Cardiff were ready, under such leadership, to do their part, and we trust that the same cordial re lations will be maintained between the young lord and his neighbours during their future intercourse.

LO'4I3,ESEONIVINQE FROM PO4O (FROM OUR OWN . CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS, FRIDAY, Septembei 18. The interview between the Queen of Spain and the Emperor Napoleon is finally settled. There will, in fact, be two interviews ; the Emperor will visit San Sebastian, and the Queen will visit Biarritz. The Queen has thus triumphed over all opposition, but not without much humiliation. In fact, she succeeded in securing the desired interview only by proposing herself to go to Biarritz a second time —a proposition which left the Emperor no choice. He has been forced both to receive the Queen and to return her visit. But what benefit her Majesty may hope from this loss of dignity it is difficult to say. She throws away the last chance, if there was any chance, of conciliating her subjects at home. And it is impossible that the Emperor, who has shewn his repugnance to this interview by every means which etiquette permitted, can consent to promise the Queen the assistance she noto riously seeks. It is impossible to predict the issue of such a meeting, except that it is pretty certain to end in disap pointment to one sovereign and annoyance to the other. Some of the papers here are full of the wildest rumours respecting the purpose of these interviews, but they are all alike worthless. That the Queen has important objects in view cannot be doubted—she would not otherwise degrade herself in the eyes of the Spaniards by seeking Imperial patronage—but that the Emperor can be made a party to her views is altogether a different question. The Emperor does not find much retirement at Biarritz. Shortly after the Imperial party arrived, the Emperor, family, and attendants traversed the whole town, in order to view the works of the new port. A large crowd assem bled at the Imperial villa at the time of starting, and the walk through the town was accomplished through a double line of spectators. On the return to the villa all the bathers left the water in their grotesque costumes to gaze upon the " lions." The illustrious visitors mingle freely with the general public. The Bourse has fully recovered from the effect of the King of Prussia's speech, and the public is rapidly coming round. The journals still continue to make the most of the King's ambiguous sentences, but in this they are not assisted by the German papers, which are at present very pacific in tone. It is further stated, in an authoritative quarter, that the Prussian Charg6 d'Affaires has had " several interviews" with the Marquis de Moustier, and has protested against any defiant interpretation being attached to the King's speech. Herr Solms repeated that the Prussian Government was still animated with the most friendly feeling towards its neighbour, and that King William had not purpose. lessly affirmed that he saw nothing which could threaten the peace of Europe. It is further said that several of the Emperor's councillors were opposed to the review which has just taken place at Launemezan, for fear that the enthusiasm of the soldiers might produce some effect which would be construed as an answer to the speech at Kiel. The review has, however, taken place, and though the soldiers were enthusiastic enough, no incident of the kind referred to occurred. The note which MM. Magne, Pinard, and De Moustier sent to the Bourse, explaining the pacific interpretation which might he placed upon the Kiel speech, does not appear in the Moniteur. It is generally considered that this procedure on the part of the Ministers was very ill judged. The officials take matters very quietly. More of them have departed en cantle, and, as far as diplomacy is con cerned, France is rapidly becoming a desert. The new warlike engine, the mitrailleuse, is kept a pro found secret. These weapons are constructed by several workmen on the division-of-labour principle. It is thus impossible for any artisan to become acquainted with the whole. The officers who conduct the experiments with these weapons are commanded to take every precaution against the possibility of one falling into unauthorised hands. A. dreadful explosion has just taken place in a cartridge manufactory at Metz. It appears that some 109 persons were at work in two contiguous rooms, the majority being women. One of the women threw a pair of scissors at a companion ; the scissors struck a per cussion cap and exploded it. Several cartridges that were at hand took fire, then more caught, and finally an explosion ensued which killed about twenty persons, and wounded eighty-two oth3rs, most of them very severely. Another account says th tt more work people were in the manufactory, and that sixteen women and several men were killed, and eighty women and thirty men wounded.

If the Times' reputation as the barometer of politics holds good with respect to Europe, we are on the eve of a war. In a very bellicose article, the Times concludes that " for some weeks past the two dark thunder-clouds of the political atmosphere have been drawing steadily together, until it seems as if the most sanguine could now hardly hope that an explosion will be averted. France on one side and Prussia on the other are either anticipating war or despairing of peace." It rests with France to be the aggressor, but at the same time she may plead some temptations to aggression. It is not to be denied that the aggrandisement of Prussia by the late war does affect the position of France in the political system of Europe. This new situation is none the more acceptable because Italy has become similarly consolidated, and may possibly be Prussia's ally. "A success ful campaign against Prussia might detach Southern from Northern Germany, and leave one-half of the German nation to be still played off and balanced against the other." This is not a very explicit cause for immediate hostilities, but other journals undertake to supply more tangible grounds. The Spectator, whilst generally deciding against the prospect of war, thinks that the entry of Baden into the North German Confederation would probably determine the French Emperor to a campaign. The Independance Beige endeavours to supplement this speculation by publishing a report that the annexation of the Grand Duchy has been a matter of fact for some weeks past, and that the treaty will soon be published. It is even added that the French Government has been aware of the fact, but that it resolved to consider it for t'ie present a poi e'.y German question, not being yet pre pared to engage in war. This report is by no means new. Some clays ago we republished a similar statement from a German authority. It was then stated that Baden was fully prepared for admission to the North German Con federation, but that Count Bismarck opposed the imme diate execution of the project through fear of a collision with France. It is quite possible that the annexation is an accomplished fact ; but it is hardly likely that France is about to be defied by the publication of the treaty. The annexation of Baden would be a direct violation of the treaty of Prague ; and if the Emperor Napoleon did not go to war on that ground, it is certain that he would never find a more plausible pretext. It is just possible that this Baden question may lead to a rupture but at present our information as to the true relation! between Prussia and the Grand Duchy is too vague to admit of a definite conclusion. It does not appear that ;_ere is anything in these reports to put an end to the cListimi 'uncertainty. FRANCE. PARIS, Sept. 19.

TILE BALLOT.—Sir Massey Lopes having, in a recent speech, asserted that "Lord Atnberley, at L cede, changed his opinion on th'a ballot in twenty-four hours," his lordship, in a letter to a gentleman in Devonshire, says —"1 gave no pledge upon the question of tho ballot when contested Leeds, or when I was returned for Nottin g ham, as I was desirous, before committing mysel f, of giving the subject a longer„,consideration. What I have heard since then of the conduct of landlords towards their tenants has been amply sufficient to convince me that the ballot is indispenably necessary in order to secure freedom of election." THE SCOTCH MINERS.—An open air meeting of minors belonging to the Lanarkshire district was held on Thursday at UdJingston, wiLich is distant about seven miles from Glasgow. At this meeting it was unanimously resolved to make a demand for an advance of wages to the extent of Gd. per day. In May last the employers granted an advance of Gd. per day. We are authorised to state that there is no foun dation whatever for the rumour that the Attorney-General, " finding his case hopeless" at Exeter, will not go to the poll.—Law Times. rli - E LATE EDITOR OF THE " SATURDAY REVIEW."

Dr. Magee, Dean of Cork, immediately after which the practical business of the conference will commence. ARE WOMEN " MEN?" We are not going to discuss here the female franchise pestion upon its merits or demerits, but we must observe that the position that the late Reform Act entitles women to the franchise is utterly untenable. The argument is founded on the employment of the word " man " in the Reform Act 1867, where the phrase " male person " was employed in the Reform Act of 1832. It was suggested, when the bill was pending, that, since section 4 of the L3th of Victoria, cap. 21, provides that "in all Acts words importing the masculine gender shall be deemed to include females, unless the contrary is expressly pro vided," the word " man " would enfranchise women ; but it was said in reply that, considering the existing law excluding women, it must be taken as expressly provided that " man " in this Act should not include women. Afterwards Mr. Afill raised the issue )n its merits by moving to substitute " person " for " man," the motion being negatived by a large majority. As a fact, therefore, the intention of the Legislature was cer tainly not to enfranchise women under this word " man;" but it is equally true that, in determining the " intention" of an Act of Parliament for any judicial purpose, the proceedings of the Legislature during the progress of the bill cannot be taken notice of. Vide " The Alexandra ease," at page 316 of the report), and many other autho rities which will be familiar to the legal reader. Indeed, if this were otherwise the inconvenience would be of the most ridiculous sort ; the intention or frame of mind of the hon. member who moved an amendment, and of every hon. member who voted on it would become material ; while if the bill were actually drafted by an M.P. it might be material to know what he was thinking of when he devised the clause. It is hardly necessary to cite authorities to shew how statutes are to be construed. The " intention " must be regarded, and how the intention is to be arrived at is well expressed in the resolutions in " Heydou's Case" (Plowden, 205). "For the sure and true interpretation of all statutes in general, be they penal or beneficial, restrictive or enlarging of the common law, Four things are to be discerned and considered :-1. What was the common law before the making of the Act. 2. What was the mischief against which the common law did not provide. 3. What remedy the Parliament hath resolved and appointed to cure the disease of the common wealth. 4. The true reason of the remedy." Now, the " intention " of the late Reform Act, examined by these tests, were certainly not to enfranchise women, but to ex tend the franchise as existing for the other sex. If the 4th section of the 13th of Victoria, cap. 21, taken with the word used in the Reform Act, 1867, raises a doubt whether women are included in the Act, they would thus be ex cluded by the " intention." But even supposing it to be held that under the 13th of Victoria, cap. 21, sec. 4, the word " man " in the Reform Act must include women, there would still be this :—The Act confers the franchise only on "men " " not subject to any legal inca pacity ;" and it is an undoubted fact (whether the rationale of it be morally right or wrong is another matter) that women have ever been under a legal incapacity to vote in the election of members to serve in Parliament. When for several hundred years it has been continuously assumed, and the assumption acted on, that women are not of ability to vote, it is not incorrect to say that they are under a legal incapacity, and assertions to the contrary merely beg the question. It seems probable that the subject may be brought before some of the revising bar risters ; it is, however, so free from doubt that we can hardly imagine that any one of them will state a case upon the point.—Solicitors' Journal. The Marquis of Bute denies that he has joined the Roman Church. The Lancet is in a position to state that since her sojourn in Switzerland the Queen has greatly improved in health. The untoward symptoms which cost her Majesty and her subjects so much uneasiness have yielded to the fresh mountain air and the change of scone in the most romantic of European countries. The senior partner in the celebrated banking house of Coutts and Co., Mr. Edward Majoribanks, expired yes terday morning at the advanced age of 94. The deceased gentleman was highly esteemed, and in his .own person may be said to have represented the commercial and bathing ex periences of three generations. The Staffordshire Sentinel contains the following advertisement :—" Old Church, Hanley. To be let or sold, a front pew under the organ gallery. Will seat seven persons, and commands a view of nearly the whole congregation." MR. GLADSTONE AND VOTE BY BALLOT.—We have reason to believe that the statement which has obtained currency respecting Mr. Gladstone's conversion to the cause of the ballot has originated in a misconception of some sentences in which the right hon. gentleman expressed no more than his sense of the force with which the case for the ballot had been put in a recent publication. —Daily News. IRBIL LEGAL RUMOURS.—It is generally stated and believed in legal circles that Mr. Warren, the Attor ney-General, will be the successor of the lamented Walter Berwick in the Court of Bankruptcy. Mr. Harrison steps forward to the Attorney-Generalship, and, it is understood, is not to seek the representation of Trinity College, which is reserved for John Thomas Ball, as Solicitor-General. This latter gentleman, we may remind the public, is one of the Church Commissioners.—Frce man's Journal. MR. GLADSTONE AND THE IRISH CHURCH.— Speaking at a meeting at Gorleston, near Great Yar mouth, on Thursday evening, Mr. T. Sutton Western, one of the candidates for East Suffolk, said lie had recently had an interview with Mr. Gladstone, and he had asked the right lion, gentleman what he proposed to do with the revenues of the Irish Church on its disesta blishment. Mr. Gladstone declined to state his intentions at present, but added, " Return me to power, and I will propose a plan which will, I believe, be acceptable to tha • Curt 4- • ') • HER MAJESTY.

The following letter, addressed to the editor of the Scotsman, appeared in that journal of yester day : 23, Norfolk-street, Strand, W.C., September 16, 1868. SIR, --As yet the grave of Leigh Hunt in Kensal Green Cemetery is obscure and undistinguished. During life his wide sympathies and versatile acquirements drew around him from all quarters of the globe friendly visitors whose opinions were as far apart as the homes from which they came. It is a humiliating reflection that travellers from Ame rica or Italy who in other years made Leigh hunt's study the shrine of their loving pilgrimages may have wished to visit his last resting-place, and found no mark to guide them to it—no record, if they have discovered it, of his many claims on grateful recollection. In dedicating " The Cenci " to Leigh Hunt fifty years ago, Shelley paid him this noble tribute : " One more gentle, honourable, innocent, and brave ; one of more exalted toleration for all who do and think evil, and yet himself more free from evil; one who knows better how to receive and how to confer a benefit, though he must ever confer far more than he can receive ; one of simpler, and, in the highest sense of the word, of purer, life and manners, I never knew." This friendship between Leigh Hunt and Shelley, honourable and delightful though it was to both, became in some measure the cause of mis representations which attended Leigh Hunt's early career. A writer in All the Year Round (vol. vii., p. 118) justly says :—" Leigh Hunt defended the character of Shelley with so much warmth from the aspersions which had been cast upon it that he was in time identified with the whole of Shelley's opinions, and suffered accordingly. This was a signal error. As a journalist, he was never republican, but constitutional and monarchi cal ; and in religion, Leigh Hunt at no time adopted the extreme unbelief of Shelley's youthful specula tions. . . . His natural piety was always con spicuous ; and the greater spirituality of Shelley's more mature works was not improbably owing to his communings with a mind at once liberal and de vout. . . . This truly religious tendency of mind increased and ripened with years and sorrow; and the beautiful volume called the Religion of the Heart' proved to a wider circle of readers how seriously he had been misapprehended by those who called him a scoffer and materialist." A writer in the Cornhill Magazine (Vol. i., p. 92) points out how much the press of England in the present dal is indebted for its " cultivated style, elevated tone , and independent sentiment" to Leigh Hunt, Who exhibited a consistency, honesty, and fearlessness that even his opponents could not but respect. Neither personal nor political animosities, how ever, troubled the declining yea! a of what Carlyle truly terms his " most pure and even exemplary' life ; and as men of all creeds and classes delighted then to honour the veteran poet, the genial critic , the accomplished scholar, each of whose varied works acquired vitality from his warmth of heart and uprightness of mind, so all can now consistently unite in promoting the memorial which it is pro" posed to erect over his grave. This project was suggested by Mr. S. C. Hall in the Art Journal three years ago, and, after consul tation with Mr. Joseph Durham, A.R.A. (who estimated the entire cost of the work at £l5O, and who volunteered to execute a bust and pedestal for the mere cost of the materials), he applied to friends and admirers of the poet for support. Altogether , in pay and promises, about £7O was the result—not a moiety of the requisite sum. The proposal `vas then allowed to sleep, Air. Durham, however, making a sketch of his design awl finishing tb ° model of the portrait bust. The pedestal will have four sides—one occuple l with Leigh Hunt's epitaph, the next with a li ne from " Abon Ben Adhem and the Angel :"--- " Write me as one that loves his fello w-men ;" the third with Lord Lytton's estimate : " lie had that chief requisite of a good critic—a good heart ;" and the fourth with a jar of honey, in bas relief. Thus much having been settled, it has been re cently determined to make a public appeal for t he i remainder of the money, b3O ; to raise which 51 ' a carry out the matter satisfactorily, the followi ng committee has been formed, viz.:--Chief-Baron S lf F.
