LONDON, MONDAY, OCT. 12, 1863.

Another of our great public characters has
within the last few hours passed away from the
midst of us. The illustrious ex-Chancellor, Lord
LYNDHURST, who expired at five minutes to three
o'clock this morning, has added another famous
name to the fast-increasing list of celebrated persons
of whom the Obituary of 1863 will have to take
note. Scarcely have we learnt from Florence of the
death, at a ripe old age, of Mrs. TROLLOPE,
the popular novelist—scarcely have we re-
ceived the like tidings from Dublin, announc-
ing to us th© close of the long career
of Archbishop WHATELY, the profoundest of all
modern logicians, when a third renown of a very
different character to either of those,sudderily drifts,
as they have done, from the present into the past.
As a living presence, familiar enough to the last
three generations—to the first as a gifted counsel
at the bar, to the second as a distinguished judge
upon the bench, and thrice occupant o 2 the wool-
sack as Lord High Chancellor, to ourselves, more
recently and immediately, as the 'NESTOR of
the House of Lords—Baron LY:<DHURST, now that
he has abruptly disappeared from the public scene,
will long be missed from among the chief actors
grouped upon it, he will for a certainty be very
long held by his late contemporaries in their most
honourable remembrance. His once handsome and
of late venerable appearance is recognisable conspi-
cuously, so to speak, in:the retrospect, when regard.
ing that public scene as it extends back in perspec-
tive through the long vista of the last three reigns—
the third and last of those reigns being, thanks
to Heaven! still (as we trust it will yet continue
to be for many long years to come) incomplete.
Prominently visible in the foremost rank among
the historical personages who graced the reigns of
King GEORGE the Fourth, of King WILLIAM the
Fourth, and of our beloved and most gracious Sove-
reign, was the noble and learned peer of the realm
just now deceased. Born upwards of ninety-one
years ago, in the city of Boston, Massachusetts,
JOHN SINGLETON COPLEY, notable for some years as
Sir JOHN COPLEY, renowned for a great many more
years as Lord LYNDHURST, contrived to fix public
attention upon himself, upon his sayings and doings,
as
continuously almost as conspicuously during the
chief part of the interval which has elapsed between
the 21st of May, 1772' the date of his birth, and
this very day, the 12th of October, 1863, henceforth
memorable iu his biography as the date of his
demise. The principal phases of his career—re-
markable in themselves when viewed sepa-
rately—are strange indeed when
oeman
ned i s
as
a connected series, when regarded
that
to say, as a diversified but homogeneous
whole. An American loyalist by birth, the
deceased es-Chancellor, at the outset of his career,
had distinct and undeniable proclivities towards
that ultra-liberalism which was born of the Revo-
lution. It was during the earlier period of his pro.
fessional advancement that his opinions became so
far modified that they gradually (at first almost im-
percetably, but at length quite recognizably) pre-
pared the way for others more suitable to the future
Tory Lord Chancellor. Beginning his legal career
(immediately after his call to the Bar) in chambers
situated upon the eecond floor of Brick-court,
Temple, he rapidly won his way to considerable
Practice, jostling even the leader of his circuit, Ser-
geant-Roth:e, in his advance. His first case of any
particular note, that of the double return for Hors•
ham,
brought Mr. COPLEY'S name before the public
exispicaoust
as far back as 1808, that is five and
fifty years p
A period marking out, for how
many, a whole lifetime. From that date, how
ever, the then stuff-gowned
higher and higher,
morn and
barrister advanced
and more conspicuously,
in the glare of publicity, until he took his seat
in the 110113 f) 3f Lords asa Baron of England, at
three intervals to preside
over its proceedings in
the supreme position as Lord
High Chancellor.

able and ambitious lawyer; one profoundly versed
in the science of the law itself, and beyond that,
rarely endowed with the great gifts of oratory,
gifts sedulously cultivated by him throughout his
pubic life, at the bar, on the Bench, in the Commons,
and in the Lords. As happened in the instance of the
first Duke of WELLINGTON, a middle period was
passed through by Lord LYNDHURST when his
name, politically, was an object, almost, it might be
said, of popular execration. Identified with Toryism
is its most stubborn and obdurate aspect, it was long

regarded with intense, at ti nes, we might even add,
with malignant hatred, by the more impassioned
advocates of reforms. Those days of furious poli-
tical contention having at length changed,
however, the almost revolutionary fervour
of the masses having been allayed by one
considerable legislative concession after another,
the obduracy of the Tories having been not
simply conquered from without, but
yielded
up from within, Lord LYNDHURST (and
•pre-
cisely the same might be said of the Duke of
WELLINGTON) came at last to take a wiser view of
the popular aspirations, the publicatchlaarr
character
rut a
nt

turn, taking a juster view of the
genius of Lord LYNDHURST. The Tory Attorney-

uourAednd,
none,
remembering
the the last incidents of his life, can marvel
h
in any way at a change so startling of its kind.
For who does not remember the ardent and
enlightened patriotism that glowed through
so many of the remarkable orations delivered
of late years by this " old man eloquent."
Whenever a great wrong, no matter where
done, or by whom, or in what remote region
of the earth, required to be denounced—against
it the potent finger, the puissant voice, of
the aged Orator was pointed, was raised
in stern and scornful reprobation. From the
arena of the House of Lords, from the Court of
VICTORIA, from among the great historic characters,
that is to say, grouped around the steps of the
throne of that beloved Sovereign, a notable pre-
sence has now passed away in the person of Lord
LYNDHURST.

The King of GREECE has commenced his sove-
reign duties already; and though not yet installed
in his position, he is surrounded by claims of all
kinds on his notice, and numerous deputations at-
tend his leisure. On Saturday, at Marlborough
House, there were busy doings. The three clergy-
men of the Greek churches of London, Liverpool,
and Manchester were in the first deputation. It
must have been with feelings of the deepest inte-
rest that they found themselves in the presence of
the young Sovereign who has come forward at the
eleventh hour to forward the interests and sustain
the cause of their country. There was something
about the whole affair that invested it with an un-
usual attraction, and imparted to the occasion an
excitement that does not always exist in a genuine
manner on these state occasions, and in the midst
of courtly splendour. The:young KING himself must
have recognised the importance of the affair; and
when Mr. HOMERE, the senior member of the Lon-
don deputation, read the address to him, he must
have felt that he was even then beginning his serious
responsibilities, and already assuming in some mea •
sure at all events the authority of his august posi-
tion. There was nothing left out in the brief but
impressive address that could tend to increase Its
effect or add to its earnestness. It is not always an
easy task to compose or construct these discourses.
Even when the mind is most fully convinced of the
importance of the subject on which it treats, and
when the heart may be overflowing with sentiments
of the liveliest gratitude or the deepest rejoicing,
it too often happens that the task of expressing the
feelings and of giving utterance to the thoughts
is too much, and the result is a stale, fiat, and un-
profitable composition that neither does justice to
the recipient or the bestower. It was not so on
the occasion just alluded to, for the address pre-
sented to King GEORGE is very simple and straight-
forward, and seems to succeed in retaining the
golden mean between fulsome adulation and cold
preciseness. They might well rejoice at being the
first to welcome taeir new KrsG, and it was a happy
expression that alluded to the especial attractions
that united their interests—he the KING, and they
the subjects—in the strange but friendly land in
which they then met for a brief time. " The land
of Philhellenic and liberal sentiments, the new home
of his august and gracious sister," must have been
a gracious spot in which to welcome the represen-
tatives of the ancient and glorious people over whom
he had been called to reign. Again, it was almost
pointing a moral, if such a thing can be fancied as
admissible in a royal address, when allusion was
made to the future course that it was hoped the
royal personage before them might take when in-
ducted to his principalities. " Your new country,
Sire, is rich in moral and physical capabilities which
need a development similar to that which King
CHRISTIAN IV., of glorious memory, fostered in
Denmark." The days are gone by when it would
be a solecism in etiquette, and a breach of the pri-
vileges of subjects, to speak in such terms and ex-
press such decided opinions. The march of mind
has penetrated into the sanctums of royal habita-
tions, and the lessons of wisdom that have been
gained by the interchange of ideas and the
introduction of free speech may adorn the
" throned monarch better than his crown."
The Philhellenic Committee then had the
hunour of being presented to the KING, and of offer-
ing him an address, which was read by Mr. X ENOS.
There must have been great satisfaction experienced
on the part of the KING to meet thus with the
members of a committee that had done so much to
further the interests of Greece, and the members
themselves doubtless shared the enjoyable feeling
when they were introduced to one who is expected,
with the blessing of Providence, to become the
means of introducing prosperity and peace to the
interesting but often overshadowed land in which
all were so deeply interested. The committee was
formed for the purpose of befriending the Hellenic
interests at a time when they were greatly endan-
gered, and it was therefore meet and fitting that
they should have appeared on en occasion when
brighter prospects were in view, and when the star
of Greece seemed in the ascendant. Mr. F. IVYLD,
M•Pe one of the members of the deputation, appro-
priately observed to his MAJESTY, " that no exer-
tion should be wanting on the part of the members
of the Philhellenic Committee to give his Majesty's
Government that moral support which Greece de-
served." On the whole, hoie, more solid subjects
acwe were
touched on
more vital interests entered
upon in
this reception than often takes
u,
similar occasions. It is a trite saying to wish
all
prosperity and peace for young Sovereigns. It is
more satisfactory to see them likely to tread
the
course which affords the only chance of their enjoy-
log the one, and will certainly ensure
them the
possess 'en of the other. As yet linig GEORGE, in
his shadowy state of sovereignty, has given good
and lively
not only by his inte-
restown
people he meets with here, but by the people of the
country he has come to visit.

The condition of our labourers'cottages has re-
cently been brought prominently ly
i under
public no-
tice. It has been telt by all disinterested and no-
f th
prejudiced people that the state o logs described
by those long familiar with these dwellings ought
not to be longer lon It is one of
6 tolerated among us.
'hose evils' however, with which it ,s difficult to
deal. It is contrary to the spirit of our Engtist,
'we to compel landlords to provide fitting habita-
tions for their wotkpeople, And too many are glad

to shuffle off the expense and trouble of building
or repairing; others, from indolence, ignorance, or
indifference—three prolific sources of mischief—are
content to leave things as they found them, and are
in no way anxious to introduce startling innova-
tions or troublesome reforms, Still the evil is a

growing one, since our increasing population ren-
ders the scanty accommodation at present existing
more and more insufficient; and the ricketty cot-
tages and leaking roofs, of which inspectors com
plain, naturally do not improve with time, It
will therefore be a very fortunate thing if landlords
and landowners generally can be convinced that it
is possible for them to make a good speculation at
the same time that they fulfil a very pressing duty,
and that the exercise of the consideration and kind-
ness due to honest workmen and their families will
cot make more than a temporary demand upon
their purses. The experiment has just been made
with signal success by a French nobleman, and
as he has carried out his designs in the most liberal
and benevolent spirt, the result of the trial is
especially gratifying. It will be remembered that
the great and striking improvements made in the
city of Paris during the present reign necessitated
the dislodgement of a large number of poor persons
who lived in the small houses and narrow streets
now swept away. Such people found it of course
no very easy matter to secure a home suited to their
limited means. Some of them, however, have
found a valuable friend in the Count DE MADRE.
This nobleman has built a number of houses adapted
to the wants of mechanics and their class, in which
the sanatory arrangements deserve unqualified
praise. The houses are four stories high, and,
according to the French custom, are let off in flats.
Each tenement is eight guineas per annum, or a
fraction more than 3s. 3d. per week, a sum for
which it is hardly possible to secure two decent
rooms in London. Yet for this money Count DE
NI tens provides in each division a sitting-room, a
bedroom, and a kitchen, in which there is a cooking
apparatus and means of letting off water. The
rooms are well papered, painted, and ventilated.
Each group of houses has its west-house completely
fitted up, and to these the benevolent landlord
promises next year to add baths, for the use of
which a small payment will be required. That
large class who form such an important part of
every community, but whose welfare troubles so
little the thoughts of landlords and builders, are
also cared for in a very necessary particular. One
courtyard in each cluster is laid out as a playground
in which the children of the poor may freely obtain
those two vital elements of health and strength—
air and exercise. Count DE MADRE goes a step
farther than we suspect most landlords would
like to do, however benevolent their feelings'
He pledges himself never to eject
a tenant
except for two causes very great mis-
conduct or persistent non-payment of rent. He
promises that, should a tenant be really unable to
pay, he will allow him to depart with his furniture.
It is satisfactory to know that his goodness has not
been abused, but that the enterprise has been en'
tirely successful, and returns to the charitable land-
lord and owner an interest of 61 per cent.
on the
money invested. This is in reality the most impor-
tant fact in the scheme. Many equally wise
and
kind heads among ourselves have projected good
things for the working classes, and some have been
found to carry them out. But if we want to do
practical good we must face the question fairly.
The great body of houses and land in and around
the metropolis does not, and never will, belong to
disinterested friends of the poor, who are
willing to
sacrifice their profits for the good of their tenants,
and who hold their houses rather with the view
of carrying out their benevolent projects than as
a means of increasing their yearly rental. We
shall never get the substantial and
widespread
improvement that we want until we can prove to
g 1
landlords and landowners that
whole-
some dwellings for the labouring classes can be
provided without loss, or rather with profit. It
is useless to reform here and there,e°
to pull down
and
one choking alley and rebuild it, if the lane be-
hind is left untouched. We want something that
will come home to the majority of the wretched
tenements which, it is well known, are among
the most profitable of house properties. Our
remonstrances, our expostulations, our appeals to
their sense of justice and humanity may not be
very effective, but if we can bring forward the brief
but emphatic argument that is lodged
in the little
letters £s. d., we shall have gained a potent ally
whose logic is generally unanswerable. The model
Lodging-houses already tried have not been so suc-
cessful as their well-meaning proprietors hoped.
There are several faults in their construction, and
a want of adaptation to the habits of the poor; the
rents besides are so high as to be a serious draw-
back. Houses built on the scale of the Court de
Madras would be more likely to answer, especially
if the rents, like his, could be reduced something
below that terrible rate that, presses so heavily on
the poorer working classes. There is one aspect of
the case which might lead to immediate practical
good. Our metropolitan railways are in a great
measure playing the part of the Paris improve-
ments. They are turning the working classes out
of their houses and destroying them. Why should
they not invest a little capital on building blocks of
these houses, properly fitted up, at a :short distance
from London? There is plenty of land to be had
cheap on the northern line, and they could let the
tenants have monthly tickets at a low rate for going
to their work and returning home—thus ensuring
a double profit on the house and on the journey.
Such a scheme, while it would certainly bring the
three magic letters as its recommendations to rail-
way companies, would give the working classes the
great advantage
of good and clean dwelling places
in a pure air and at a reasonable rental. Working
men would be glad to avail themselves of them,
and they would supply a want long felt and hardly
pressing on the most industrious members of the
community.

ROBERT TROLLOP, the builder of the exchange
on Sandhill, at Newcastle-on-Tyne, had his tombstone
made during his lifetime, adorned with his own effigy point-

inscribed with the lines,—

Here lies Robert Trollop
Who made your, stones roll up
When death tock his soul up,

The inscription, however, will now be sought for in vain in
the churchyard.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

~ MANFRED."

The announcement that appeared in the bills of
this theatre, that 'Messrs. Falconer and Chatterton
intended to produce Lord Eyron's choral tragedy
of " Manfred" with extraordinary splendour, na-
turally created the greatest interest amongst play-
goers, both old and young, and for weeks the event
has been looked forward to with more than ordi-
nary curiosity. That everything would be done in
the most complete m. nner was certain from the
fact that Mr. Phelps had been engaged to sustain
the part of Count Manfred, aed also to arrange and
superintend the production cf the tragedy. We
must confess to a certain extent we had our
doubts as to the result of the bold experiment,
because it will be recollected that the great
poet congratulated hiresel in one of his
letters to his publisher, Mr. Murray, that
he had at least rendered the work impossible for
stage representation. In ancther of his letters be
says, " I composed it (Manfred) actually with a
horror of the stage, and with a view to render the
thought of it impracticable, knowing the zeal of my
friends that I should try that for which I have an
invincible repugnance—viz., a representation ;" and
further on, "You may call .t a poem, for it is no
drama, and I do not choose to have it called by so
d— a name—a poem in dialogue, or a pantomime
if you will; anything but a g:Ten-room synonyme."
With such a strong declaration from its gifted
author, and the experience that its production some
five and twenty years ago had wrought, it must be
admitted on all hands it was a bold venture on the
part of the managers of Drury-lane to undertake
its production, but that determination was tempted
and formed no doubt by the grand descrip-
tions of the various aspects of nature with
which Lord Byron had enriched his work, and
also by the matchless skill of the scenic artists
attached to the theatre. However, upon whatever
ground the matter \lag decided, it has been done,
and in a manner that will create the greatest won.
der and delight to thousands. Loug before the
hoar of opening the doors of the theatre, a crowd
assembled outside each of the various entries that
forcibly reminded many of the days of the great
Edmund Kean and Malibran, when all London was
wrought up to fever heat by the performances of
two such gifted artists. At half-past six the doors
were opened, and then a rush took place that will
be long remembered by these present, and fortunate
was either lady or gentleman who gained admit-
tance to the theatre without damaged and wrecked
attire. Within ten minutes after the admission of
the public every seat in the theatre was occu-
pied, and the scene presented was one of the greatest
animation. Prior to the commencement of the
tragedy a small
pamphlet was circulated in the
theatre, and we cannot do better than give a para-
graph or two from it, because it will serve, in some
degree, to those unacquainted with the work, as an
outline of the character of Manfred :—" The mix-
ture of remorse for some hidden, fate-impelled crime,
end of haughty disdain for all the ways of men,
forming the constituent ingredients of this brooding,
selndevouring melancholy which the poet loved to
attribute to his heroes, is iu Manfred idealised be-
yond human proportions. The mystery of his crime
is shrouded in hints so terrible, yet so impenetra-
bly dark, that the imagination fears to speculate on
its nature; it seems that, if it were uttered, the
universe would be convulsed. His self-isola-
tion is so complete that it raises him
above merely mortal nature, and leaves him
nothing human but the power of feeling
and suffering; and it is this intense self-assertion
—this absolute independence, moral and intel-
lectual, of all communion with created man, that
seems to lend him his strange power over the hid
den elements of nature rather than the magical
studies of which he speaks. Unlike the other moody
and misanthropical heroes of the poet—Lara, Con-
rad, Childe Harold—who still preserve some ves-
tiges of ordinary human instincts, he neither seeks
to numb the gnawing agony within by plunging
into daring and wild adventures, nor indulge his
sullen and splenetic pride in reviewing the scenes
of history and hurling taunting sarcasms at the
Petty deeds of men. He is attached to earth only
by the memory of some beautiful and passionately
beloved being, who is herself no longer of earth, her
death being associated with the terrible unspeak-
able crime that inspires his torturing cureless re-
morse. Amidst the awful beauty and grandeur of
Alpine scenery, where his ancestral abode is fixed,
and with which he has from childhood been familiar,
he lives alone with his inextinguishable sorrow and
his unconquerable disdain for mortal nature;
the only refuge he seeks from his anguish
and desolation is the contemplation of nature in
her terror and in her loveliness, and his only deal-
ings are with the potent spirits that preside over the
elements, and over whom his magical studies have
given him power—a power, however, which avails
him nothing towards assuaging the tortures of his
mind. Another essential, and, so to speak, personal
characteristic of Lord Byron's genius, is here thus
developed :—His intense love for all the changeful
moods and aspects of nature—a love so deep and
reverential that it amounted almost to a religion,
and has inspired him with passages, the grandeur
and elevation of which, combined with their in-
tenFeiy-vivid picturesque truth, have never been
surpassed. Of these splendid tributes to the
mightiness and beauty of creation, the poem
"Man-
fred" possesses more than one; and the address to
the Sun, as Manfred, from the window of his an-
cestral hall, sees it setting in glory for the last
time—his death on the following day having been
foretold by Astarte, when her spirit is evoked in the
hall of Arimanes, is impressed with a calm sub-
limity which is more characteristic of Milton than
of Byron."

The
mortal parts were sustained as follows :
Manfred, Mr. Phelps; a Chamois Hunter, Mr. A.
Rayner; the Abbot of St. Maurice, Mr. Ryder.
The immortal, by Miss Atkinson, Mrs. E. Falconer,
Miss Heath, Miss Poole, Miss Rose Leclerq, Miss
E. Heywood, Miss Ceeily Nott. At the termina-
tion of the overture the curtain slowly rose, and
discovered the study of the arch-enchenter Man-
fred. On the appearance of Mr. Phelps, which
takes place immediately afterwards, a reception of
the most extraordinary nature was given him. To
say the audience applauded would be to say nothing,
as each and every one
wild in their endeavour to express the pleasure
they felt in seeing him on the stage of Drury-lane.
he bowed Again and againpresent seemed perfectly
his thanks, but no cessa-
tion of applause
took place ; on the contrary, it in-
creased to a perfect hurricane ; certainly we
have never seen a more
exciting scene, and truly
Mr. Phelps
" house rose" at him. At length, the cheering
may say, with Edmund Kean, the
waving of hats and handkerchiefs having sub-
sided, the tragedy proceeded, amidst the most
breathless silence. The
wonderful imaginings of
the immortal poet were declaimed by Mr. Phelps
with taste, care, and great judgment; in many
instances he rose to a great height in declamation
His asking for self-oblivion—his description of the
chamois hunter's simple life—his crushed and
Astarte—and his interview with the Abbot of
heart-broken appeal to the spirit of his loved
St. Maurice, were brilliant specimens of elocution,
and called forth the most enthusiastic applause.
At times he gave way to certain mannerisms and
tricky effects, but they
were few and far between;
iso far, indeed, that the beauty of the greater part
of the reading entirely effaced them from the recol-
lection. The other characters are so nfinitessimally
small, that but very little room is left for display by
those to whom they are allotted. Manfred is the
part, the others being merelyused as helps to great
effects. Mr. Rayner's delivery of the few lines
allotted the Chamois-Hunter was artistic and fault-
less. Mr. Ryder of course was correct and forcible,
composing
p Missosin g herßose Leclerq'spart: Manfred" and "farewell," uttering of the two words
was a marvel of exquisite tenderness.
With respect to the scenery, it is certainly the
most magnificent that has ever been produced. In
fact, we cannot find words that will adequately con-
vey arninicdipeaaloofcththeemex. The precipice and glaciers
near expanse, beauty, end reality of
the
e p
the summit of the Jun gfrau in the first act is a
wonderful effort, but the most wonderful of all is the
Steinbach waterfall in the second. The rising of
the Witch of the Alps, amidst a spray of myriads of

brilliants, is something the like of which has never
been seen. These scenes are from the pencil of
Mr. Telbin. Mr. Danson's great effort is " The
Hall of Arimanes," for which Martin's celebrated
painting, " Satan in Council," has been taken as a
model. The last scene, by Telbin, is another won-
derful specimen of the scenic art, and produced a
great sensation.
The applause and calls for Mr. Phelps, Mr.
Falconer, Mr. Telbin, and Mr. 'Janson, were in-
cessant. At the end of each act some one or two of
these gentlemen had to appear to acknowledge the
enthusiastic plaudits their efforts had evoked.
The productio❑ is an immense hit, and we beg to
offer our congratulations to Messrs. Falconer and
Chatterton on the occasion. Managers certainly
never worked harder to gain success, and assuredly
none better merit or deserve it.
