Loss OF LIFE IN DUBLlN.—Between eleven
and twelve o'clock on yesterday, whilst the persons em-
ployed in the laboratory of Mr. Rice, chemist, Off-lane,
Moor-street, were making chemical experiments, some of
the combustible matter used on the occasion ignited, and
instantaneously communicated with other matter of an
equally inflammable nature, which in a moment so enve-
loped the whole premises in smoke and flame, that the un-
fortunate persons at work in it—namely, three women and
two men, were unable to make their way to the door,
which unfortunately happened to be locked, or to cry out
in time for assistance. When the wretched sufferers got to
a barred window in the upper story, they were so injured
by the flames that they were hardly able to call for assist-
ance. As soon as their screams were heard, the house was
broken open and the two men taken out alive, but the un-
fortunate women were burnt to death. The men were sent
to the Hospital, and hopes are entertained of their reco-
very.—pikt.

partial—or rather to present the subjects of his pencil
to the world in too favourable a light. His constant
dread of being supposed too favourable to the leading
legal Reformers, has led him to attach undue import-

ante to the second and third-rate talents, and the poli-
tical honesty, of the Ultra Tory lawyers. We do not
greatly blame him for this. On the part of an honest
Reformer, who proposes to estimate the talents of
professional gentlemen opposed to him in politics, it
is an error on the right side ; but as it is an error,
we think it calls for some notice. Several of the
sketches that are here given—those of Lords Broug-
ham, Eldon, Abinger, and Lyndhurst, Sir Frederick
Pollock, and Sergeants Talfourd and Wilde, for ex-
ample—have likewise appeared in the " Sketches"
of the Two Houses of Parliament. Nevertheless the
work is highly interesting, and will circulate exten-
sively among readers of every class. The anecdotes
are lively, characteristic, and happily introduced. The
following one of Lord Eldon is perhaps the best ever
related of that distinguished legal functionary :

Among his greatest personal friends was George the
Fourth. That Sovereign, it will be remembered, made
him a magnificent present as a proof of his private friend-
ship, immediately after the Noble Earl ceased to be Lord
Chancellor through a change of Ministry. He used, how-
ever, when Prince Regent, to have many harmless jokes
at his Lordship's expense. One of the best of these—at
any rate, the best of several which have been communi-
cated to me—was played off on him soon after his elevation
to the Chancellorship. That was in the early part of the
present century, when the Prince was in the meridian of
life, and passionately fond of fun and frolic. Having pre-
viously instructed all the subordinates in the parts they
were to play, the Prince and Sheridan one evening engaged
a hackney-coach, and went down to the House of Lords to
await the rising of their Lordships. The House having
risen, the Prince desired one of his servants, whom he bad

brought with him for the purpose, to intimate to his Lord-
ship, as he quitted his robing-room, that he was waiting
in h s carriage opposite Westminster Abbey for him. Lord
Edon having informed the servant that he would be with
the Prince presently, hurried down stairs immediately after-
wards, and was with him nearly as soon as the servant
himself. The night was unusually dark, and the streets
were then but imperfectly lighted. These circumstances,
added to that of having just left the brilliantly lighted
House of Lords, very naturally account for his Lordship
stepping into the vehicle without discovering that instead
of the Prince's own carriage, it was only a hackney-coach.
On getting inside, Lord Eldon found Sheridan with the
Prince. The latter mentioned to his Lordship that he
was anxious to get his opinion and advice on some
matter of personal importance to himself, and that for
certain reasons, vthich he mentioned, they would go to
some neighbouring hotel instead of to the Palace, to talk
over the matter.
" Most certainly, your Highness; wherever your High-
ness pleases," said his Lordship, with that thorough devo-
tion to Royalty for which the Noble Lord ever was through
life, and still is, distinguished.
After what the coachmen call a three or four minutes'
ride, Lord Eldon found the coach stop, and in a few mo-
ments afterwards he was conducted by the Prince and She-
ridan into a handsome apartment up one pair of stairs.
The Prince, in the first place, asked a few common-place
questions of the Chancellor, as to the proceedings in the
House that evening, and then introduced some other topics
'of general conversation. " Eldon," said the Prince, sud-
denly stopping short in the midst of a rather lively con-
fabulation ; "Eldon, I'm sure you'll excuse me for a few
minutes."

" 0, most certainly, your Highness."
Only about ten minutes, however, had elapsed, when his
Lordship, notwithstanding the wit of Sheridan, began to
express a longing for home. " I wish," said he, " the Prince
were returned, as I have some matters to attend to of press-
ing emergency at home."
" Perhaps I had better go out and see whether I an
learn anything of him."
" I should feel particularly obliged to you if you wou'd,
Mr. Sheridan," answered his Lordship.
Sheridan took up his hat and quitted the apartment.
His Lordship was now left alone in his glory, but was
not suffered to remain long in his solitary state. A remark-

ably ugly-looking female, about forty years of age, entered
the room about half a minute after Sheridan had left it,
and advancing towards his Lordship, inquired, with some-
thing between a grin and a smile, how he did.
" How do you do ?" growled his Lordship, looking the
damsel in the face, with a most marked expression of stern-
ness and astonishment. _

" Your friends have left you, dear," said the nymph,
seating herself on a chair beside his Lordship, and looking
him in her most coaxing manner in the face.
He suddenly pushed back his chair, and without utter-
ing a word, stared at her as hard as if he had meant to say,

" Who are you ?"
" Perhaps you'll accept of my company instead of that
of your friends who have left you," observed the female,
suddenly seating herself on his knee.
" Get out, get out, you hussey," exclaimed his Lord-
ship, forcibly jerking her off his knee, and starting to his
feet. He rang the bell that instant with tremendous vio-
lence. The waiter made his appearance, but manifested the
most provoking coolness.
" Get me a coach this moment, Sir, that I may get out
of this house immediately,' said his Lordship, in indignant
I accents.

" Yes, Sir," said the waiter, with the same provoking
nonchalance as before. " Yes, Sir ; only, you are aware,
Sir, you have to pay, in the first place, for the use of the
room, Sir."

" For the what ?" said his Lordship, evidently as con-
founded as he was enraged.
" For the use of the room, Sir," answered the waiter,
with undiminished coolness, and putting a towel he held in
his right hand under his left arm.
" I have not used the ror.m," said his Lordship, sternly.
" That is your own fault," observed the other ; " you
have been in it, and that's all the same to us."
" I was brought here, and have only been in the room for
a few minutes."
" No matter to us : you cannot leave the room till you
have paid for it," said the waiter, adjusting his collar.
" Do you know who I am ?" said his Lordship, losing all
temper at what he conceived the combined injustice of the
demand, and the consummate effrontery of the fellow.
" It makes nothing to us, Sir, though you were the Lord
High Chancellor of England," answered the waiter, at the
same time snuffing one of the candles.
" I ant the Lord Chancellor, Sir."
" Very hell : you are the same to us as any other man.
They who lire in Rome r::ust do as Rome does."
" Well, Sir, and what is your demand ?" inquired hi s
Lordship, seeing there was no chance of being suffered to
stir a foot until he had paid it.
" A guinea, if you please, Sir," answered the waiter,
wiping the dust off the back of one of the chairs.
" Then here it is, Sir," said his lordship, tossing down a
one pound note and a shilling on the table ; " but remem-
ber, Sir, you shall hear further about this matter."

matters to handle, which may be the reason why we have
hitherto, in this age of criticism, had so few and such meagre
notices of this important branch of the community. The
way in which this hiatus in our social literature has at length
been filled up by the well-known author of " Random Re-
collections," speaks no less favourably for his boldness than
his honesty ; for while in his critical estimate of all the most
distinguished members of " Tire Bench and the Bar," he
has spared the foibles and failings-of none, on the other
hand he has done ample justice to their merits ; and has in
no case hesitated to point these out, even where the public
voice had not gone before him in proclaiming the truth.
The result,is that he has produced a work as useful a$ it is
