ACCIDENTS.

We regret to state that accounts have reached us of the
following accidents which took place during the Royal Pro-
cession yesterday :
Between 11 and 12 o'clock, two persons, of the names
of James Pomeroy and Joseph Clark, were on a ladder in
Fleet-street, arranging some lamps and transparencies,
when the ladder suddenly gave way, and they were
both precipitated to the ground, a distance of upwards
of 30 feet ; they were instantly picked up and conveyed
to St. Bartholomew's Hospital, where, on examination, it
was found that Pomeroy had received a compound fracture
of the left thigh, and Clark a very severe laceration and
contusion of one of his knees, besides severe bruises on
other parts of his body. They were immediately put to
bed, and had every attention paid them.
A man of the name of Wilson was putting up some lamps
at the Saracen's Head, when the ladder, on which he was,
slipped from under him, and he fell to the ground. When
picked up it was discovered that he had received a severe
wound on the temple, besides other injuries. He was taken
to the hospital.
At the time the procession was passing through St.
Paul's churchyard, a gentleman, whose name was stated
to be Atherston, received a very severe kick in the face
from a horse belonging to one of the Blues. The unfortu-
nate gentleman fell down, and it ma with great difficulty
he was prevented from being trampled to death on the
spot, so dense was the mob at the time. By the very
prompt and praiseworthy assistance of the police, however,
they succeeded in picking him up and placing him in safety
till the crowd had moved on, when he was conveyed to the
hospital, where it was discovered that he had received a
compound fracture of the jaw ; the unfortunate sufferer
refused to remain in the hospital, though strenuously ad-
vised to do so. He was consequently, after having hisjaw
set, removed in the course of the afternoon to his own resi-
dence at Westminster.
About the same time the soldiers, being pressed too
closely by the populace, reined back upon them, when. a
mischievous boy ran a pin into one of the horses, which
caused the animal to plunge in a furious manner, and kick
the boy in the abdomen, which so severely injured him that
he was obliged to be led away by two men.
A few minutes after the procession had passed through
Fleet-street, a serious accident occarred to a young man,
whose connections are highly respectable, but who refused
to let our informant have his name, and his companion, a
young a female. It appears that a waggon had been sta-
' tioned at the corner of Water-lane, on which a temporary
scaffold had been erected by means of ladders and planks,

for the purpose of more conveniently viewing the proccs-
swn. The two injured persons were standing on this
scaffold when the waggon was suddenly moved on, and
they were thrown down, and the ladder fell on their legs ;
they were also conveyed on shutters to St. Bartholomew's
Hospital, where they still remain, both with fractured legs.
There were ten or twelve other persons taken to the
hospital in the course of the day, who had met with simi-
lar accidents ; but we are glad to say that none of them
were of a very serious nature, as the majority of them,
after having had their wounds dressed, were enabled to be
conveyed to their homes.
It is but justice to the authorities of St. Bartholomew's
Hospital to say, that every precaution was taken to pre-
vent any delay when an accident was taken in, and that
throughout the day and night an extra number of medi-
cal gentlemen remained in the Hospital.

SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS

We present to our readers, elsewhere, the most ample
account which we have been able to procure of the visit of
her most gracious Majesty to her most loyal and loving
subjects, the citizens of the greatest city in the world. For
much of this report we are indebted to the splendid ex-
ertions of our Contemporary The Sun, which in this, as
in every other instance, has maintained its character
for early and accurate intelligence. We have added some-
thing of our own to the particulars given in the columns of
our Contemporary. A more splendid procession was never
witnessed ; but what was the splendour of the horses and
their trapping—of the carriages and their conductors—of
the brass, silver, and gold, compared with the sincere and
hearty burst of applause which greeted her Majesty upon
every point of her procession ? It is a fact that the pro-
cession formed the least portion of attraction to her Ma-
jesty's subjects—it was her Majesty herself to whom the
regards of the people were directed, and in whose counte-
nance, expressive of intelligence and affection, they not use-
lessly imagined, we believe, that they saw the distinct indi-
cations of a benevolent and glorious reign.—Morning
Advertiser.

Of the procession of the Queen to the City yesterday,
and the gratifying manner in which it was received along
the whole line, a full account will be found in our co-
lumns this day. We can only advert to that part of the
line which came under our eye, and the spectacle which
met our eye on all sides was exciting and dazzling in the
utmost degree—such, undoubtedly, as no metropolis but
London could produce. The crowds of beautiful, well-
dressed, and fashionable women who thronged every bal-
cony and " coigne of vantage," as far as the sight could
range, was itself a splendid and imposing spectacle. Testi-
monies of attachment were offered to the whole succession
of Royal visitors, but those paid to the Duchess of Kent
were of the most marked description. As her Royal
Highness approached, every hat was doffed, and every
handkerchief in motion. The reception of the Duke of
Sussex was equally cordial. But never were acclamations
more universal from every point of the innumerable throng,
than when the Queen made her appearance. The shouts
of the multitude were deafening, and must tend to imbue
her Majesty with the grateful conviction of the steady
loyalty of the English people to her person, and of the
certainty that by persevering in the popular views which
she has t- nnounced as her one, the popularity which s'ie
now enjoys will be as permanent as it is affecting and univer-
sal.—Morning Advertiser.

" Long live the Queen !" " God save the Queen !" were
the fervent prayers which yesterday ascended from the lips
of myriads of her Majesty's subjects. From their lips ?
From their lips certainly ; but in the first instance, and
chiefly, from their very inmost souls. Such a demonstra-
tion of attachment to the person of at English Sovereign,
as was yesterday given in the case of Queen Victoria, has,
we will venture to say, few, if any parallels in the annals of
this country. Of this we are certain, that never was the
enthusiasm of the people on behalf of a Sovereign of these
realms more strikingly chi:pi:l3 cd, than it was on this ocea-
ion in favour of the amiable and youthful Queen who now
sways the sceptre of Great Britain. It were, indeed, impos-
sible to surpass the manifestations of loyalty and personal at-
tachment to the Queen which were made yesterday by the
c mgregated masses of human beings, as heriNfaj•sty proceeded
to the first city in the world. When we say that her reception
was enthusiastic, we come fir short of the thing itself. It
was more than enthusiastic, if there be not an inac-
curacy in the expression. What it was we will not under-
take to say. The reason is obvious ; no words can convey
any adequate notion of it. It wins a thing to be felt and
witnessed, not to he described. it must have overpowered
others; what it must have been to her M,..irst)'s own feelings,
our readers can mm ell imagine. The cheers which greeted
timer Majesty as her carriege proceeded along Pall-mall, the
Strand, Fleet-street, Cheapside, and the other inter-
vening smaller streets, in the line of procession—the
fanciful decoration ot. the houses along the streets
through which that procession passed—time waving• of
hsndkerehiefs from spectators of her own sex stationed
in em cry window which could conunar d a view of the
splendid pageant—theie (I,lnoestratiers of loyalty and
pt nsonol reg:trd must have been gmtii.y:ng in no crdi-
naiy degree to the f e!ings of a mind so susceptible :is
that of Queen Victoria is well known to i e ; but marked
and unequivecvl es these demonstrminns were, there were
ether proofs of the devoted att cob uncut which her Ma-
jesty's subjects feel to cards her, which, though less visible
to the outward senses, were of a still more decisive kind.
We allude to the heating of tine heart and the sudden
brightening up of the countenance, as the spectators were
fortunate enough to catch a glimpse of their youthful Sove-
reign as she passed elong. We appeal to all who were
present yesterday, win titer they did not feel an undefinable
pulsation of the heart as her Majesty's carriage passed
them? In proof of the latter fact, we make no appeal to
others. It was a thing which came under our own obser-
vation, to an extent which satisfies us that what we
saw was universe]. Need we say that this sudden
brightening up of the countenance as her Majesty passed,
was but an index to the unbounded joy %illicit filled every
bosom? The scenes and feelings of yesterday will be held in
remembrance by those who witnessed and experienced them
till the latest moments cf their existence. Tine impressions
produced in her I`,lejesty's breast by the reception which
she em t v, it im nil, we are sure, ho equally permanent. Sl.e
will cherish them nit h dr vot cd fo:idi,es., so !eel; as ht r
powers of recollection remain unimpaired. In her beoom
they will never be buried—she trill carry them with her to
the grave. They will in one sense be incorporated with her
very being. Most ardently do we hope that the reign of
Queen Victoria thus auspiciously commenced, may be conti-
nued and closed under circumstances of an equally propitious
kind ; and this is a consummation which, we rejoice to say,
there is every reason to expect. The British are pre-eminently
a loyal people ; let the young Queen only continue to merit
their attachment, and it will never be withheld. The demon-
strations of yesterday were no temporary ebullitions ; they
were the unequivocal manifestations of a deep-rooted attach-
ment to her person and government ; and that attachment
will be equally strong while she continues what she now is.
That she will continue thus so long as it shall please Divine
Providence to spare her life—and that her life may be long
preserved, i 3 the earnest and unanimous prayer of her
people—there can be ne reason to doubt. From her ear-
liest childhood has she been most carefully instructed, un-
der the superintendence of a wise and judicious mother, in
everything appertaining to her exalted situation as Sove-
reign of these realms. She has been sedulously taught the
great truths, that she has duties to perform towards her sub-
jects as well as they towards her ; and that that throne only
. can be popular or even safe which is based on the affections of
the people. For the particulars cf Victoria's reception in
the first city in her dominions, we refer to the copious ac-
count of yesterday's proceedings which is contained in this
day's paper. And now, in what better way can we close
our observations than by repeating the cry which yesterday
ascended from the lips of myriads, we had almost said mil-
lions—" Hurrah for Victoria !"—Long live Victoria and
her excellent Mother the Duchess of Kent !—Morning
Advertiser.

Every possible demonstration of loyalty and attachment
accompanied her Majesty yesterday, in her triumphant pro-
gress from St. James's Palace to Guildhall, and we have
elsewhere given a full detail of the whole of this most gra-
tifying ceremonial—gratifying, we are confident, to the
Queen, who has given so many proofs of her regard for
the interests and happiness of her subjects, and gratifying,
of course, to those subjects who crowded in hundreds of
thousands the whole line of the procession, and greeted
her Majesty with the most enthusiastic acclamations. A
scene like that of yesterday would have tried the nerves of
a much more experienced performer on the stage of the
world than our young and lovely Queen. Educated as her
Majesty has been, in comparative retirement with her illus-
trious mother, to find herself suddenly the observed
of all observers, occupying the first place in a
pageant with the deafening multitudes of a metropolis
containing almost a nation within its bosom, must have
been, with every allowanceowance for native strength of mind
and the most judicious training, an arduous trial to her
sensibility, to say nothing of the personal fatigue. It is
to be recollected that she had to endure one continued
din of shouts and applauses for a distance of about three
miles at a slow foot pace but whatever there may have
been of personal inconvenience, or even of suffering, it was
no doubt compensated by the opportunity her Majesty en-
joyed of establishing, as it were, an intercourse with her
people, and securing their approbation by the unaffected
kindness and graceful courtesy of her demeanour ; their
affections she has already gained by the constant anxiety she
has displayed, since she came to the crown, to promote the
welfare and to protect the rights of all classes, and to build her
throne on the never-failing foundation of national gratitude.
The great error of such of our monarchs as have most en-
dangered their security has generally been a want of con-
fidence in the disposition of the people to England to return I

good offices with unchanging fidelity. No spectacle could
have been more interesting and animating, or, as we said .
on a former day, more affecting than that of yesterday.
" Far off her coming shone," and the Queen's approach
was announced to those who were more removed along
the line by
tt The many greedy looks of young and old,
Through casements darting their desiring eyes,"
by the waving of hats, handkerchiefs, and banners from
every roof, window, and balcony, and by the increased
greetings of an innumerable multitude. Since the reign
of Elizabeth we have had no instance of "a Virgin
Queen " thus placing herself in the midst of her sub-
jects, and receiving their willing and manly homage. She
looked like a Queen, and even in her gracious headings
to the crowd appeared to be conscious of her exalted rank ;
but she appeared also to know what was due to the people
over whom Providence has placed her. They looked upon
her as the guardian of their just liberties, and she upon
them as the pillars of her Throne :—" Who thinkoth a
crown light," says Lord Bacon, " knoweth not of what
metal it is made." This is not the time for enlarging upon
the subject, and we have devoted so much space to a
minute account of the whole proceeding, from the moment
when the Queen started to the period of her return, that
we have no space for observation. We never saw happi-
ness depicted in such glowing colours upon the faces of so
huge an assemblege, and it must have been a source of sin-
cere pleasure to her Majesty to reflect how comparatively
slight a sacrifice of personal comfort had spread such a uni-
versal sunshine of delight.-11forning Chronicle.
For one day we will suspend all political discussion, and
content ourselves with a brief but cordial expression of our
gratification at the delightful progress and happy termina-
tion of the gay yet imposing solemnity of the Queen's first
visit to the city. The day passed off to perfection. No-
thing, indeed, could be more inspiriting or delightful than
the whole scene of her Majesty's progress through her
capital, and her reception by a kind, frank, and warm-
hearted people. The acclamations with which our youth•
journey
from Sovereign was hailed at every step of her
from Buckingham Palace eastward were of the most
gratifying character. They were not so loud, perhaps,
as mercenary plaudits would have been ; but they were
impassioned, deep, and universal. The emotions whence
they sprung were complex in their origin. Superadded to
the simple, though powerful, sentiment of loyalty, which
is at all times the willing homage of an Englishman to
his Prince, without much discriminating reference to any
personal claims of the Sovereign on the throne beyond those
inseparable from his or her Royal office, but superadded to
that instinctive sentiment, there seemed to pervade every
heart, and to express itself from every lip, a feeling of de-
votion lurching short of chivalrous to the sex, the intellectual
beauty, the morning freshness, the confiding innercence, the
promise-breathing smile of this young and engaging person-
age, which could in no manner have been mixed with the
sort of popularity which attends, or ever has attended, any
sovereign not a woman. • The details of yesterday's oc-
currences being published at full length in this day's Times,
we shall now confine ourselves to the single obser-
vation, that it was impossible for any, Monarch, who,
by a continued display of the highest wisdom and of
the most glorious beneficence, had consumed a long life
in entailing a boundless debt of gratitude upon his people,
to have experienced from them a reception more demon-
strative of cordial and respectful attachment than did in the,
present instance our blooming Queen Victoria, who not yet
having had time since the day of her accession to accom-
plish any, even the slightest, national good, has had the
happiness to draw from the favouring prognostics and san-
guine anticipations of the people of England a tribute of
public love and honour, which many lengthened years must
pass ere she could claim as a return for real and recorded
services. That the homage paid to Queen Victoria by a
nation's Memory may hereafter prove no less overflowing
than that which their hopes have already rendered to her in
advance, is the most affectionate, prayer that a loyal heart
can form. Iler Majesty then, like other generous minds,
will feel hoar infinitely inure gratifying it is to receive the
emount of a debt, than to become a debtor.—Tintes.
The account which we give in another part of our Pa-
per, of the Royal and Civic procession and entertainment
yesterday, will be read with interest in all parts of the
kingdom. The loyalty and heartfelt devotion to our youth-
ful Sovereign which the inhabitants of London evinced on
the first visit of her Maj 'sty to the chief city of hor domi-
nions was only a sample—a large one we admit—of the ar-
dent and dutiful affection with which the maiden Queen of
England—the descendant of a long line of illustrious an-
cestors—the head of the Protestant Church—the guardian
ef the ancient Itntitutions and liberties of a free people, is
regarded by the erect mass of the inhabitants of this
mighty empire. They are not satisfied with yielding her
the cold and formal homage which is her birthright—they
voluntarily offer her that testimony of attachment and obe-
dience which the law cannot command or enforce—the ho-
mage of the heart. The spectacle which Lost ton presented
yesterday was, indeed, a splendid and interesting one. We
speak next of the scenic effect of the decorated streets, or
the i-oaring fertli of the countless multitudes upon the
Noe of the Jr 3 proussion, though tl:r.t tvil3 grentl. We
speck sea of the pegeantry of the Royal procession,
thoneh that was megnificent ; and, as to the furred ermine,
gold chains, velvet gowns, and equestrian caparisons of
civic knights and chivalrous aldermen, we leave them to be
adequately described by more fitting historians. It was
the unanimity of warm, unforced enthusiastic sentiment on
the part of the vast population that thronged to witness
the entry of the Queen' into the metropolis of her em-
pire, which constituted, next to the presence of Majesty,
the great cherin of the spectacle, and gave it a moral, and
we may add, a sublime interest. Guards, to do honour
to the state of royalty, and to give additional brilliancy to
the pageant, were there, but never were guards, for ant
other purpose. lcss required. What defence needed our
maiden Queen within that rampart of free people, who
were ready to defend her throne and her right against a
world in arms ? Forcibly were we reminded of that beauti-
ful incident in the life of Elizabeth, when, in answer to the
Spanish ambassador, who inquired "Where were her guards'!"
she pointed to the people who thronged to do homage to
their glorious Queen, and exclaimed, " Behold the guards of
the• Crown of England!` The legions of " g uar ds,"
not clothed in the livery of the camp, that attended Vic-
toria yesterday were nutnerou,:, and not less loyal and de-
voted than those with which her great predecessor, Eliza-
beth, was surrounded. May her reign be equally diqin-
guished for the maintenance of those enlightened and
Protestant principles which have given England its proud
pre-eminence in freedom and civilization among the nations.
May her reign be equally glorious for her people, and more
happy for herself. Let those writers who delight to mix
up party feelings will: subjects of a national character
like this do so. We have observed abundance of such
illiberality of sentiment and bad taste in the Minis-
terial papers, in treating of the Queen's visit to the
city. There will be ample opportunities of discussing the
polemics of party during the ensuing session, without inter-
mingling their bitterness with the festivities in honour of
England's Queen—the first who, since the foundation of
the monarchy, ascended the throne at the tender age of
18. Can they be men who can look on a Sovereign so
young, so innocent, and so amiable, and not feel that ge-
nerous devotion to her cause, as the chief of a great people,
which suppresses all petty and party considerations, when
she goes forth to interchange hospitality with her people,
and receive the spontaneous tribute of national affection ?
Englishmen they cannot be. But long may Victoria reign,
not merely over the political destinies, but over the hearts
of Englishmen. For the description of the splendid scene
in the Guildhall, we refer to the narrative which will be
found elsewhere. It was indeed a truly delightful and ani-
mating scene.- Such scenes we owe to the great bless-
ing which this country, under Providence, enjoys, of an
undisputed title to the crown. Long may England possess
that blessing, and be grateful to the Supreme Disposer of
events for the public peace, security, and happiness with
which it is accompanied.-11-forning Herald.

The grand excitement of the Queen's visit to her faith-
ful city of London is past and gone. It is no longer mat-
ter of vivid anticipation, but of history ; and, truth to say,
history will not have very much remark to make about it.
The day, though not exactly a nice sunshiny day, as we
hoped for last Tuesday, was nevertheless far better than
the loyal Chronicle, in a very foggy article of yesterday
morning, prepared the public to expect. Upon the whole
we were the better prophet of the two, notwithstanding the
rain which began to fall at three o'clock, and we beg that
our weather-wisdom may be appreciated accordingly. We
have great reason to rejoice, and we do rejoice most un-
feignedly, that the grand display of yesterday passed off with-
out any serious accident or unpleasant disturbance. We are
happy to record also, that everything which occurred indi-
cated a general sentiment of respectful loyalty on the part of
the people. We give the details of the progress of her
Majesty, as furnished to us by our reporters ; but speaking
from our own observation, we should say that the feeling
exhibited was rather that of respect than enthusiasm. We
certainly have on other occasions witnessed more of the
uror of loyalty, but we do not know that we have ever
observed a more general sentiment of attachment to the
person of Royalty. The scene in the Guildhall was ex-
tremely magnificent ; but after the first feeling of admira-
tion had passed away, the dinner ceremonial was somewhat
dull, as well as grand. The light was very brilliant, the
eating very good, but there were no speeches, and (except
some very good music) none of these incidents which com-
monly give excitement to public entertainments. As to
political indication, there was no such thing. The Queen's
visit has taken place, and as to political impressions they
arejust what they were, while it was yet a matter of the
deepestinterest, and most anxious anticipation.—Kurning
Post.

Count Bathyany has arrived at Paris from London.

LONDON :
FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 10, 1837.

Yesterday was a proud day for London ! There
have been public processions before now, when Roy-
alty has been received with all befitting respect by the
inhabitants of the metropolis ; but never in our lives
did we witness—and there are thousands who will
hear us out in this statement—anything even distantly
approximating to the enthusiasm with which our
young QUEEN was yesterday received on her road to
Guildhall I Englishmen are, proverbially quiet and
reserved in their demeanour ; if they praise,
applaud,aise,
i 4 is
with something of stint and. reserve ; if
it is with sobriety ; but on this occasion they showed
all the thorough vivacity and animation of their mer-
curial neighbours, the French. We despair of being
able to convey to our readers any adequate idea of
yesterday's proceedings—of the enthusiasm with which
her MAJESTY was every where received on the line of
procession—of the splendour of the illuminations that
met her eye at every step of her way back to Bucking-
ham Palace—or of the tremendous, we might also say,
unparalleled, crowds that thronged the streets from day-
break till long after midnight. The day, in fact, was a
jubilee, for all classes. Old and young, rich and poor,
high and low, seemed equally to partake of, and be
carried away with, the general excitement, which will be
the principal theme of conversation in the metropolis,
and doubtless throughout England, for (lays to come.
Anticipating the triumphs and the splendours
of the day, we made all suitable arrangements accor-
dingly ; and trust we have now fully redeemed the
pledge which we gave some short time since to our
readers—namely, to furnish them with the fullest, the
earliest, andthe most authentic particulars of all the pub-
lic rejoicings of yesterday. In thus exerting ourselves
—and the exertion, it is not an undue boast to sav,
_has been of no ordinary character—we-have been in-
fluenced, first and foremost, by an ardent desire to
show how in every respect we sympathize with the feel-
ings of the people. We have no interests at -variance
with theirs ; no sympathies hut such as they
share to an cqu.l extent with us ; they cannot
reverence their youthful QUEEN, or respect the
nisters whom she has chosen as best fitted to conduct
the affairs of the nation, more than we do; nor can
they be more eager to receive intelligence of ali the
great leading topics of the day than we one to furnish
it. Industry and enterprize are the pillars against
which we lean for support, and as they have never
failed us yet, we trust they will continue to be our best
props to the cud.
_ _ .

. .
We should not omit to mention—for the circumstance
is well worth notice—the utter absence of anything
like party-spirit in the proceedings of yesterday.
Faction was dumb, W hig, Tory, and Radical alike
vying with each other iu the readiness of their
homage to her MAJESTY. Another fact deserving
of comment is the comparatively few troops that
escorted the QUEEN on her triumphal procession
to Guildhall. Those who attended, cud so for the
purpose rather of swelling the pageant, than of
affording protection ; for her MAJESTY'S advisers
well knew that her best guardians were the loyal and
peaceable thousands that thronged every street through
which she passed. How different this from the period when
his late MAJESTY announced his intention of dining
with his faithful citizens! Then troops were ordered up
from London from all quarters of the country ; the Tower,
under the active superintendence of the Duke of WEL-
LINGTON, was put into a state of defence ; and
yet, after all, notwithstanding these precautions, it
was considered too hazardous an enterprize for his
MAJESTY to pass through the city in State ! But
then, lie it remembered, we had a Tory Government :
now we have a Reform one : and this makes all the
difference between content and discontent on the part
of the people.

We perceive, by a report in a Morning Paper, that
the antiquated mountebank, commonly called " Old
Glory," has been exhibiting before the Tories of Lei-
cestershire. POPE, who looked with a keen eye into
human character, held it as a maxim that every one
has some ruling passion, which may be traced in all
his actions, and which can be extinguished only with
life. " Old Glory" is a fine example of the truth of
this theory. He must play Punch as lone as he
lives. Notoriety, at any price, has been his ° maxim
from first to last. We sincerely believe that there is
not a public act in his whole life that may not be
traced to this source. The only way in which he
could gratify this inordinate propensity of his, in the
earlier part of his life, was by pretending to be an
ultra-democrat. A young man of an ancient family,
aristocratic connections, and so rich as to be considered
one of the wealthiest Commoners of England, standing
forward to advocate Annual Parliaments and Universal
Suffrage, as the only
.adequate means of restoring the
Constitution to its ancient purity, and establishing the
liberties of the people on. a solid and permanent founda-
tion ; joining moreover to this theory of politics, as great
a defiance of the law of the land as was consistent with
his personal safety, and a greater measure of hostility_
especially an any man had ever

forward to divide the public approbation, and
illlyo
by their greater talents and more judicious con-
duct contributed to bring about reforms greater than
lie had ever expected or ever wished to see'—when, in
short, the space that he filled in the public eye
had been lessened to almost nothing—then lie saw
that the ruling passion could find no food in
the atmosphere of reform ; but as food it must
