LONDON, TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 6.

LORD CAMPBELL Is in NNW tribulation. The pro-
spect of life peers passing "between the triad and
his nobility" has moved the depths of hie aristocratic
soul. " Plain Joins hes not been in such a flutter
sines it was proposed to erect the drat Crystal Palace
in hoot of his own baronial mansion. He cannot
rest: he wanders about like COLERIDOR'S ANCWIM
Marlow is search of the man "'tin given him to
teach." He told hie pitiful story" in the Home of
Lords on Thursday lest; he repeated it at the dinner
gives by the East India Company to Sir Putecx
GRANT on Saturday; and he threaten to tell it over
again to his oareereted brethren on Thursday next
His dignifi.d wailing on Saturday was ineffable. If
the Upper Home is doomed to receive an infusion of
life peers, Lord CAMPS= will treat the intruders
with the cold, dignified eeneteey whin kis own
saltrespect dictates. He will sot leave the Home
to amid them; as far as possible he will abstain
from betraying by weed or deed his smessary on-
askiernaus ot his own superior dignity. Should
any of the assemblage be bed then the honour to
address modaseend to be peers for lib he could pro-
mise them a courteous and a friendly reeeptios. '
The is much from one who combines two peerages
in the bind unity of his wedded life: who is at nee
the Mocha and Basque of the pperege—destined to
"get peers, " though he himself is one.
The dismay of a peer of each recent creation—and
unquestionably plebeian drecent--cootrests ammiegly
with the wag freed of the "old nobility.' The
Ilso-Cuz.ve.hfoas takes the matter quite coolly,
while the Caersur. of Fife fumes, frets, and fidgets,
es if be were really " rifeish " in mem muss than
one. The truth is, that the Old Homes know
that their historical character, combined with
their great wealth, renders them real powers
indignantly of their enemies with the
Homo ot Leeds. Again, the new peers who have
earned their oommets, sot by bring mere tools of
party or loiterers of a Court, but by distinguished
seniors to the State—in arms, diploinisey, or any
ether way—know that their personal merits impart
mere lustre to their sew rank than they derive from it.
It is ally the eorenetted neaentities who would be
little or teething without their titlee—wbose fa:dement
does not appeal te the imagination, or who are not
a illustrious by deeds as well es soortesy"—who feel
anaoyed at the proopeet of being elbowed by men
when mobility is in themselves, set in their families.
The held which our arietoomey her on the national
shed is quite independent of legislative privileges.
Them are untitled families to whom more respect k
paid than to many whose head is eirded with a sore-
test; occasionally we hear of peers whom it would be
a meaceser to call gentlemen. The &bream paid by
the House of Lords to the deep, subtle, sad beautiful
fatalism of a LYNDHURST Wild not be on. iota ang-
uished by the selection that arm of kis demeadests

heirs a claim to be recognised as Peers of Parliament.
As the Crown grew weaker the Peers of Pediment
wrested concessions from the Crown, jest as the
representatives of the Commons wrested onesmions

hue bees =primly or tacitly recognised by the
Crows, have Demme part of our meatitstinal law;
but the Crown has never resegniesd any essowarke
et its right to tall men to the Great Council of the
Peen without binding itself to do the same with
their beim. In old Moss only herons and prelates
were relied to the House of Lords, hews these
wars the cooly individuals who thou possessed poli-
tical power. Now there are many individuals be.
