A BATCH OF NBW PEES&

(From the Press of thla day.)

A new batch of Peers is about to be crested.
We have reason to believe that Mr. Wykeham Martin, M.P.,
• thoroughgoing Palmenttonian and Kentish liberal, will be
one of the intutate selections. The Hon. O. Fitewilliam is
aim mentioned. It has long been felt that " something must
be done for the Fitzwilliaros." Colonel Dudley Carleton,
son-in-law of Lord Broughton, is also mentioned ; with Sir
Karim Berkeley, Ashley Poneonby (who will take his title
boa the Crimea), Sir Richard Bulkeley (the only deserving
mat fa the whole list), and lmtly, • member of the Milne.
Way.

Conaiderable misapprehension exist, respecting this con-
templated elevation of the Milne. family to the peerage. Wa
believe the facts to be theme. Early in last year the Prime
Walser announced to Mr. Milnea, of Frystone, the re-
'petted father of the hon. member for Pontefract, and who
was a schoolfellow, we believe, of the venerable premier, that
his lordship was prepared to recommend to her Majesty to
seamen Mr. Milne. to the House of Lords. The highly
mdramble Yorkshire squire declined the proffered honour, on
thadouhie ground that he bad no wish that his family should
bfarrobk4; and secondly, that be had no confidence what-
ever in Ltd Palmerston.

Since the project of creating a batch of peers ban bean re-
vived, Lord Palmerston, we are informed, has now Awed
the pnrege to the eldest son of Mr. Richard Manes, M.P.,
and the grandson of Mr. Mikes of Frystone, omitting Mr.
Richard Manes himself in this series of proposals, on the
plea that the government cannot afford to lose his inde-
pendent support in the House of Commons, which, we be-
lieve, was the real ground on which her Majesty's ministers
deellsei on two °condone to confer on the honourable mem-
ber the °Mon of Secretary of Ireland and that of Poet
InareMe.

MR. FRITH'S PICTURE or EPSOM RACE-0017BSE.—
• chief feature of the next Academy, according to that
romp-tongued gossip, Rumour will be Kr. Frith's
picture of the Epsom Raee-oot;res " :—Ths " Humours
of the Bane-coarse" rather, as we believe this natty
wet-handed thinker calls it. This is to be such
a picture, as 'awry es Leech and as varied r Rogarth.
There will be those voluble men with " Dorking's
amid cards of the running horses—with the amass, weights
--end colours of—the riders." There will be Eithlopian
siffeasders, blacker than blacks—impudent baggy', with
socked hats and tin eye-gleases--piquant, round-hatted,

searlst-pettioosted, dainty-footed girl—stunted jockeys,
claret as to growth, but as to eyes sad cheek-
hose, old, brazen, and wicked. There slit be
champagne drinking and lobster-salad to a bloom
of ad. Them will be typical costermongers, osten-
tatiously liberal in opinion, and perspiring, fat burgesses,
banning all eye in their eagerness to optically swallow
everything. In fact, the difficulty is to say what there will
melba, sad already the black-capped Rapheelletos of Dower-
etas. mks 'MON to express rapture at the painting of certain
choked trerame, which actually took three whole days
*ding, whereas Gerard Dow spent three months in de-
sishing en old broom. Bo much for modern patience.-
