LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 18.

WAYBA regretted that the noble 41thelstane
could not share in the goof cheer at his own tyke-
wake. Wiser men than Wamba may regret that
BELANGER cannot sing the ordering of his own
Amend. The Esterann, in his eagerness to do
honour to the national poet, announced, before the
breath was well out of the old man's body, that the
funeral expenses should be defrayed out of the civil
list. The imperial undertaker issued strict orders
at the same time that none who were not specially
invited should presume to follow tho poet to his
grave. The ceremony was harried over ere twenty-
four hours had been allowed to elapse, and the
streets were lined by powerful detachments
of troops as the funeral cort4ge passed along
them. Under pretence of doing honour to BEItABOES,
his body was sequestrated from those whom he
loved and sympathised with in life, and escorted to
the grave by the representatives of those dames
who had writhed under his satire. The day for
such marvels has gone by, or one might have ex-
pected the corpse to bunt ita cerement', and to
bare .arched away—a spectral figlia del
rerposerwre—froni the uncongenial entourage. We
lave no doubt that the lively interest in BEILANGER
oxpromed by the R 111.11,8 was perfectly sincere.
We have no doubt that the Eneana—who, though

an epicurean, is a tasteful one—appreciates
many of the finest features of BELA:10E1'8
genius. But a blind man might see that, under
the pretext of paying the Poet public honours, a
desperate effort has been made to get him out of the
way as quickly and as quietly as possible. The
respect paid to his corpse was of the kind that
Faistaf paid to the dead body of Prrey. He was
complimented to the grave as Dr. Bartok is com-
plimented out of the room in the Barkers di
Sirigha. The courtiers who accompanied his
hearse returned to the Tuileries thankful no doubt
that their civilities had soothed his shade and pre-
vented it from stirring up an hneate. The EMPEROR
probably gave a deep sigh, expressive of unutterable
relief, on finding that he had succeeded in burying
his perilous dead out of his sight. The public funeral
et BZIASOII is one of those homages which vies
pays to virtue. The feigned grief of the officials
over the corpse of 111xn.i:scen resembles the fulsome
compliments with which the Indian hunter seeks to
soothe the irate ghost of the bear he has slain.
But the genial, sincere, child-hearted, deep-
thmighted, independent poet has been followed to
the grave by the hearts of all the true men and women
of Europe; that is his real pompes /smarm. His
songs ring in the ears, his thoughts burn in the
hearts of millions of the best spirits of France ; that
will be his true monument. " Let me write the
songs of a nation," said a great English statesman,
" and let who will write the laws." Not one of the
least guarantees that the spirit of liberty will some
day reawaken in France is the universal diffusion
and appreciation of the songs of Bzaanoza.

IT is seldom that much practical good arise' from
public conference' of members of Parliament to dis-
cuss a course of policy, rather than the expediency
of some specific party move. When • leader of
Government, or of Opposition, assemble' his forces
on the eve of a critical division, and tells them in
succinct but stirring phrases that the fate of Eog.
land, the welfare of their party depends upon their
holding together, " regardless of minor differences,
in the present crisis," he merely adopts the mode of
=Teasing for Parliamentary votes which custom
ham long sanctioned, and experience proved to be the
most effectual for its purpose. He never thinks of
arguing on such an occasion the specific merits of the
question at issue, nor do his followers expect him to
do so. An incorrigibly crotchety or conceited fellow,
who plumes himself on being what be calls " per-
feetlyindepsndent " because he represents his father's
tenantry in an out-of-the-way county, or his own
puree in a much-in-the-way borough—such a man
may try to get up a discussion on the old point of
Ishmaelitish belief, that every man ought to do what
seemeth right in his own eyes. But in the main,
people understand when a meeting is talked of at
Lad Daisy's, or at the official residence of the
nun LORD of the TRZASURT, in Downing-street,
that the entertainment is to consist of a solo, with a
few orchestral accompaniments ; and that all at-
tempts to improvise or interpolate dramatis
pumps requiring a variety of distinct peellisms.

men, finding no concert, or power of concert, amongst
