BANKRUPTS

not arrived when wo went to press.

Veterans of the Camp, the Church, the
Study, and the Senate,

'ELLINGTON is a remarkable illustration of how toll,
responsibility, and the liabilities of fame, may be borne
when the moral nature and training are a help instead of a
drawback. His strength of will, his po.ver of self-reliance,
his simplicity of mind, his unconsciousness of doubt or
scruple, and his very narrowness of political view, in com-
bination with his military comprehensiveness of knowledge,
enabled him to do and live through what would have killed
half-a-dozen men of more sensitive fibre, and a more ego-
tistical sort of humility. In him, as in LORD CLYDE (who
might have lived to the age of Wellington), LORD Coat-.
BERMERE, who is still alive and vigorous at ninety, the
French MARSHAL D'ORNANO, who has just died at the
age of ninety-two ; Loup SEATON, who has departed this
year at the age of eighty-seven; and Scot HOWARD
DOUGLAS, who was a great professional authority and
public benefactor till he died two years ago, at eighty-five,
we see that the toils of military life, and the gravest re-
sponsibilities, do not shorten the existence of men consti-
tutionally adapted to that career. The LATE ARCHBISHOP
or CANTERBURY was past eighty, the present BrsH.or or
EXETER iS eighty-six, and ARCHBISHOP WHATELY has
just departed at seventy-six. Sir DAVID BREWSTER is still
active and occupied at eighty-two. The late MR. TOOKE
did not puzzle his brain about the Currency too much to
be still up to the subject at eighty-six, SIR R. MUR,
CHISON is past seventy, and so is Sin J. HERSCHEL
METTERNicir was thrust aside because his work was a
failure, and not because he was himself incapable of action.
NESSELRODE was Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Chan-
cellor of the Empire to successive Czars till he died last
year at ninety-two, clear-headed and full of interest for
Russia as he had ever been. LORD LYNDIIVRST had some
infirmities at ninety •orie ; but nobody to the last associated
any idea of decrepitude with him,--much less of senile
weakness. Laity LYNDHURST was eight years younger
at his death ; and we saw in him more of the familiar attri-
butes of failing executive powers : but he, too, had a clear

To those who knew his fibre, physical, mental, and moral,
the question was whether he would ever die, and why : and
if he had lived over a hundred, cloing all the work of his
particular judgeship or any other, thefinal surprise would
have been,—not that he had lasted so long, but that he
should ever come to a stop. lam myself so tired of reading

Palmerston is now. Two of his political contemporaiies
remain—one active, the other passive, as far al the public
life is concerned. Lord BROtiGIIA.M is the active one, of
course ; and at the recent Social Science Congress he ob-
served that Lord GLENELO and himself were the onlY

town in consequence of the illness.
SOME OF BLAKE'S RAVINGS !—A scrap quoted in
Gilohrist's Life of that Painter—

Great wits to madness nearly are allied,
And thin partitions do their realms divide."
I was in a printing-house in hell, and saw the method in
which knowledge is transmitted from generation to genera-
tion. In the first chamber was a dragon man, clearing
away the rubbi,h from a ewe's mouth; within, a number
of dragons were hollowing the cave. In the second chamber
was a viper folding round the rock and tine cave, and others
adorning it with gold, silver, and precious stones. In the
third chamber was an eagle with wings and feathers of air;
he caused the inside of the cave to be infinite. Around,
were numbers of eagle-like men, who built pilaus in the
immense chffs. In the fourth chamber were lions ofiflainrag-
ing fire raging around and melting the metals into iv
fluids.

A robbery of letters addressed Eo this town,"
says the Journal d'.Elpeuf," is reported to have taken
place, by the cutting open of the mail• bag received at Pont
de l'Arche. Five registered letters were stolen, one of
which contained a sum of 12,000 f. in Bank rotes. '
