my natural that one by birth, habits, and pre-
dilections identified so closely with the hereditary
aristocracy, should wish to close his honourable
career amongst the men of his order. But we
fear our Tory contemporaries will have to
wait a long while yet for his lordship's withdrawal
from political life. It is not the first time, indeed,
that they have tried to comfort themselves with
the momentary belief that their chief opponent
was dead, by performing the mummery of his mock
funeral ; but they have always been doomed to
awake the next day to the disappointing reflection
that he was in deplorably good health and spirits.
In point of fact, the noble SECRETARY for FOREIGN
A►FAIRS has seldom appeared to more advantage
than he did yesterday, when, in presence of the
' numerous coacourse of citizens that came to meet
him for the last time as their representative in
Guildhall, he recounted the incidents that had
marked the origin of their connexion, and illus-
tasted its long continuance. A more cordial greet-
ing or affectionate farewell no public man ever re-
ceived from a great assembly ; but there probably
was not one who listened to the thrilling tones in
which the noble lord reminded his hearers of old
times, and pointed with the sanguineness of youth
to righteous aims and objects still unrealised, that
did not feel the truth of the sacred admonition
that there need be, as there ought to be, no weari-
ness in well-doing.
