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. TnoLLore,
the popular novelist scarcely have we re-
ceived the like tidings from Dublin, announc-
ing to ns the 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, suddenly 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 LYNDHURST, 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
Sears ago, in the city of Boston, Massachusetts,
JOHN SINGLETON COPLEY, notable for some years as
Sir SortN 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
ehief part of the inter

which has elapsed between

demise. The principal phasee as the date of his
viewed of his career—re-
markable in themselves
when
sepa-
rately—are strange indeed when
scanned as
a connected series, when regarded, that is
to say, as a diversified but homogeneous
whole. An American loyalist by birth, the
deceased ex-Chancellor, at the outset of his career,
bad 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.
•but at length quite recognizabl
percetably, y) 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 see°ni floor of Brick-court,
Temple, he rapidly won his way to considerable
practice, jostling even the leader of his circuit, Ser-
geantßounn, iu his advance.

able and ambitious lawyer; one f
pro oundly 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
lifa, at the bar,'on the Bench, in the Commons,
and in the Lords. As happened in the instance of the
fist puke of W. •
. ELLINGTON, a middle period Was
passed through by Lord LYNDHURST when his
name, politically, ras an objet', almost, it might be
said, of popular esecration. Identified with Toryism
in its most stubborn and obdurate aspect, it was long

regarded with intense, at tines, 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 Duk e ofWELLINGTON) came at last to take
ata wliasregre:

.Attorney-
General,
abhorred by the multitude, came, in the later years

younger generation. And none, remembering

way at a change so startling of its kind.
inF any
or 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 amongthe 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- I
reign duties already; and though not yet installed
in his pos.tion, 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 Munchester 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. Thefyoung 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. Then 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, flat, and un-
profitable composition that neither does justice to
the recipient or th 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 tileir new KING, 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
honour of being presented to the KING, and of offer.
ing him an address, which wa3 read by Mr. XENOS.
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. AVYLD,
1"2.1 One of the members of the deputation, appro-
priately observed to his MAJESTY, " that no exer-

tose2, tal i—l is difficult to
however, with which it
deal. it is contrary to the spirit of our English
laws to compel landlords to provide fitting habita-
tions for their votkpenpie, 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
o
cot-
tages and leaking roofs, of which inspectors corn
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 goad 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
not 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 moat 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 mears. 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 PE
MADRE 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 wastlouse 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

prove to
mprovement that we want until we Can

landlords and landowners that
good and whole-
some dwellings for the labouring classes can be
provided without loss, or rather with
profit. It
is useless to reform here and there, to pull down
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, onr 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
g
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
measure playing the part of the parisin aat
improve-
ments.re 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 Linden ? 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
mon 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.

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. Danson, were in-
