WANTED-A WALPOLE.

We weal Horace Walpole to describe the fiery
Isetivities of to-eight, or wither to tell us about the
people—we wean the somebodies—who will ban new
new. As for the sine amount of the exhibition
sad of the crowd—that will be written is a hundred ad-
wirabie ways. Bet owe would like to have sonothieg of
mother sort—sue of old Henee's deteriptive bitten, for
name, I. whisk the people are utterly ignored ; the sight,
whatever it is, priniesely tolerated, and sone half rostra
Walpoliaas wade the real heroes of the whole nese. It
would be an edifying entrust to the graphic woonony of
the day—ths oil sir seeseoes writing that has come tato

Horace Walpole would, for the lost fortnight, have his.

his honesty would hove prevented his worth's/ with that set
now that public °pinkie has 'banged. He would hate sees
no us in being an independeat member, th■t is to say, a
member who answers to its w►ip relic On the
whole, probably, Lord Palmerston would have had
him, but with an coesekmal protest aphid his lonthip's
•Dole policy. But Ist that is it may, he would awaredly
have dewed dm war, the pees, the treaty, and the fire-
works. If owe were to try to imitate what Its eight have
writers, it would be rely to gim the stupidest readers the
opoortuaity of saying, smartly, " Very like; all but the
wit."
