LORD CARLISLE AND MR. WESTHEAD, M.P.,
ON THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
At a dinner given by the Lord Mayor of York
on Thursday,
The Earl of Carlisle responded to the toast of " The
House of Lords." He said : Your lordship has been
pleased to couple my name with the House of Lords,
and I am glad to say that, whatever may be said here
and there of that august body, their fellow-citizens so
far as I may judge from yourselves, do not appeal:dis-
posed at least to exclude them from the equal feast.
(Applause.) Your lordship has 'adverted to reflections
that have been made on members of the aristocracy
not having hitherto found themselves called upon to
step forward in defence of their rights and their position.
The fact is, my lord, I do not think that they are
under any apprehension that their death-knell has
yet rung. (Cheers.) When any real alarm shall arise
I venture to anticipate that they will at all events, en-
deavour to make a good fight of it for themselves.
(Applause.) For their past services they are content to
refer to the history of their country, and as long as the
constitution remains, which must perish with' them,
inasmuch as they form an integral portion of it, I feel
every confidence that they will apply, themselves with
zeal and public spirit to the duties both of progress and
conservation, for both alike devolve on them, as they
devolve upon all men. (Hear, hear.) And when they
cease to do this, I shall no longer wish for their con-
tinuance. (Cheers.)
Mr. Westhead, M.P., said : Did they not see in the
noble Earl (Carlisle) on his left an example of one who,
born in the high places of the earth, had filled up as well
his allotted space as if he had traced the channel of his
life in some lower and inferior current ? (Applause.)
He knew not how or in what way one so born and
so educated could have more worthily filled the objects
of his destiny than had the noble lord. (Applause.)
The honourable member then spoke of Lord Chief
Justice Campbell, the son of a Scotch minister at Cupar,
as being worthy to take his place with the. highest of the
land. He next referred to the great name obtained by
[ Lord Clyde in India, he being a man of obscure origin,
and then io Lord Canning, remarking that he need go no
. .

further to show that at least in the British peerage,
whether they looked to the distant part or to the
important present, there were men found there worthy
to represent the interest, and to care for the for-
tunes of his country. (Applause.) He did not sympathise
for a moment with those who would set class against
class. If they looked through the length and
breadth of the world, where was it that Englishmen had
not been, and where had they not distinguished them-
selves ? There was Havelock, Outram, and Wilson, all
commoners, who came out gloriously in the hour of trial.
And there was a man raised from the operative class, ti:a-
versing, with noble and glorious purpose, the interior
of the vast continent of Africa—Dr Livingstone; and if
he took them into the regions of science or mechanical or
practical art, how many such men would they meet with
—Watts, Arkwright, and Stephenson, and men of that
stamp ? Go where he would, and look where he might,
he found the various classes of his countrymen much to
admire and comparatively little to condemn. (Applause.)
They knew well that none set a more correct estimate
upon the value of aristocratic position than the noble earl
near him, and they know that whatever distinction might
be conferred on man, he will agree with the sentiment of
a writer who declares that aristocracy of character is the
true heraldry of man. (Applause.) He (Mr. Westhead)
trusted that whatever changes might betide, or whatever
might be the events of the coming session of Parliament,
the result would be not to impair, not to destroy the
British constitution, but to widen its foundations, to
strengthen it in all its parts.
