THE LATE MR. JUSTICE TALPOURD.—Mr. Justice Cole-
ridge on Wednesday, in his charge to the grand jury at the
Derby Assizes, made the following allusion to the death
of the above lamented judge :—" I can hardly part with
you without expressing my feelings at the great loss the
country, the profession, and a large circle of attached
friends have sustained in the awfully sudden death of my
brother Talfourd. He was sitting, as I do now, dis-
charging the same duty in which lain engaged, and in the
act of addressing the grand jury, when in an instant that
eloquent tongue was arrested by the hand of death, and
that generous, unselfish heart was cold. Surely nothing
can exemplify more strikingly the uncertainty of life.
There he was, sitting as I am now, administering justice
—people were trembling at the thought of having to come
before him, but in a minute his function was over, and
he was gone to his own account. Gentlemen, as he was
the leader of another circuit, and I believe had never
visited this as a judge, he was probably not much known
to you either at the bar or on the bench. His literary
performances you can scarcely be ignorant of, but, in-
deed, he was much more than merely a distinguished
leader, an eminent judge, or a great ornament of our
literature. He had one ruling purpose of his life—the
doing good to his fellow-creatures in his generation. He
was eminently courteous and kind, generous, simple-
hearted, of great modesty, of the strictest honour, and of
spotless integrity. lam quite sure that he has left a
void that cannot easily be filled up. I could not help
alluding to this distressing occurrence, the similarity of
my present position and employment brought it so for-
cibly to my mind. I hope you will excuse the allusion I
have made to a loss I feel so deeply. I really could
hardly dismiss you without indulging in this expression
of what is on my mind." The grand jury then retired.
THE HEOLA AT CHSISTIANA, FEB. 17.—The English
war-steamer Heela, which has been surveying the waters
of the three northern kingdoms, having on board a
number of officers and pilots, anchored on Saturday off
Drobak, having previously touched at Flebkeflord and
Christiansand. Ten of the officers and pilots visited this
city the day after, and as soon as it was known a num-
ber of people of every class assembled at once at the
Freemasons'-lodge, where, with universal approbation,
a committee was chosen to invite the Englishmen to a
collation to bid the British seamen welcome to Norway's
capital, and evince the lively sympathy felt not only
here, but through the whole country, for the British
people, especially at the present moment, when about to
enter upon a contest for freedom and civilisation against
barbarism and despotism. The Englishmen, however,
could not well accept the invitation, as they had been
enjoined to avoid whatever might be deemed demonstra-
tions. It was, however, equally welcome to them as
a new proof of the warm sympathies they had experienced
from Norwegians wherever they had met them. It is
well, indeed, that Englishmen should receive such un-
mistakeable proofs of the feeling of the country at a
time when the neutrality of the united kingdoms is not
yet acknowledged by Russia, and we have thus in a
manner given a sign by which our policy will probably
be directed. This is so much the more fortunate, as
several English newspapers have declared that the
Swedish Norwegian policy has a leaning towards Russia.
