SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS;
TIMES.—Mr. Macaulay's election for Edinburgh the
other day appeared to us as a fit occasion for remarking upon
our gains of eminent men to the future Parliament. How
many Parliamentary celebrities have become absorbed into
the ordinary condition of constituents? How many of the
great elected have reverted to the status of nameless electors?
Such is fame—such the results of ambiti.ai To what shall.
we liken_Afe. statesman's evanescent splendour ? The
glancing "bubble on the summer stream—the short-lived
glow on lotauty's cheek—the down on the sunny side of
a peach. haVe all been chosen as emblems of what is most
delightful to the eye but most fleeting in its existence. The
bubble will burst—the trim maiden expand into a broad
and solid matron - the down on the peach disappear as core
ruption takes its place—but what are all these to the glory
eioisuanrgiu, s, the
mbrr.others D
Georgee
and the disappointment of ambition? Cardinal M'o'sey,
inr. G. F.
F.
Bl
Witt, Mr. Chisholm
ste
Thompson, Sejanus,
and.pe. Reynolds, have all experienced in turn the
lA
licissitudes 'Of' -glory and abasement. The real fact
'is, you can't depend upon either King or people for
two • months together. In the hour of his utmost need
either the one or the other will kick over the idol of the pre-
vious minute. The gentlemen on whom we have our eye at
the present iinoment may certainly feel a peculiar comfort
amidst the mortification infeparable from being so uncere-,-
moniously bowled out. They were not appreciated. Thit
were what the French would call hommes incompris. They,
were either so far advanced, or they so far lagged in the fear
with regard to the ideas of the Qv, that—strange as it idjay
appear—their absence will be regarded as a positive reef.
We don't want either Froissart or Louis Blanc in the En*ish
-House of:Commons, but men of sufficient sympathy with
the spirit of the timei not tb be always straining at an 'ex-, lir-
ploded past or an unrealised future. Now, we think it
will be found on reflection that the main reason why
one ParliUmentary • man becomes a hero and an-
/Other a bore, arises from the presence or absence
of this sympathy with the feelings and opinions olabeetr
audience. If the currency question were really "u ,' one-rea
coup tolerate even oar dear pragmatical friend, Mr. Mui*lt4ita.u..
--Bat when a man attempts to stop a bride and bridegroom on
their way to the War, or ;to invoke the attention of an
operatic audience at the moment Mario is about to sing " Or
the in cielo," that he may indoctrinate them with .his views*.
—he becomes at once a bore. Now, was 'not this pretty
much the case with poor Mr. Urquhart, who would go on
about Constantinople and the Caucasus, and Lord Palmers-
ton's perfidious acts, when the House was yearning for
Corn-law arithmetic or a Maynooth sparring match? Then
there was Mr. Feargus O'Connor, but, in consideration of
his heavy affliction, we would simply note him as one of the
notabilities of the last Parliament whose name will not be
borne on the muster of the next Assembly, and pass
on. A consciousness of calamity oppresses us on
a sudden. Is our supply of shipping statistics to
be so prematurely cut off ? Lucifer—Son of the
Morning—lcarus, Mr. G. F. Young—where are you ?
We could moralise over you as Hamlet over Yorick's skull.
Could not all your statistics—all your shipping intelligence--
all your poor-law facts save you from such a fate? You
were to have been a man of note even among the Anakim,
and you are nowhere to be found. It was even said at one
time that you were to be leader of your party. Dukes served
you as bottle-holders, and assemblies of farmers were potted
out in rows to listen to your facts and figures. And now
George Frederick—Frederick George—you have vanished
from our sight like one of Ossian's misty heroes. Then Mr.
George Thompson, our great lecturer de omni re scihili, we
have no chance of? hearing him again in his place in Parlia-
ment. We do not mean to say that we ever heard much of
him even there, but then there was always a possibility.
He might have been on a professional tour among the
Ojibbeways or on the shores of Lake Tchad ; but we
.ualways had a chance of enlightenment so long as the Tower
liir.ll24teut? and he could hit it off together. Then, the great

an
ever abused the patience of the House more on his first en-
try into public life; but he got shorter—in other words, bet-
ter as he went on. Certainly, he has lost his seat on an
honest principle, and that is in a man's favour. In the in-
terval between his past and future public life—should the
course of events give him another chance—let him educate
himself after the fashion of Pythagoras' scholars. Let him
read and digest Tacitus, and employ his pen in writing ad-
vertisement, for poor persons. Let him, above all things,
avoid being classed among bores, nor interrupt the course of
public business wi'h wordy orations, and be may become a
useful member of the House Such is a list of some of the
most note-worthy memuers who have been either bowled
out, stumped out, or caught at the last innings of the St.
Stephen's Club against all England. Peace to their manes—
may they find dignified repose in the Valhalla of Bores.
