whose whole public life was devoted to a peaceful struggle
against despotism and oppression. An independent mem-
ber of Parliament, because allied to no party, he inces-
santly battled for the people. He represented for many
years the borough of Maryle bone, but his constitaents were
the oppressed of all nations, and he may be called the cos-
mopolitan member of the House of Commons. He was
the unflinching advocate of civil and religious liberty, the
uncompromising opponent of any laws or enactments that
had the least tendency to interfere with tke religious be-
lief of any man. His persevering participation in the fate
of unhappy Poland, and his untiring efforts in behalf of
the refugees from that devoted country, wrested admi-
ration even from his opponents. No one doubted the
goodness and sincerity of his heart. Kind, amiable,
alid meek, he was one of the most accessible mem-
bon of the British Legislature. Whatever grievance
came ,under his notice, whatever abuses he heard
of, it only
required to see Lord Dudley Stuart, or to write
to him, and
.he at once investigated the matter and sought
in his censure of what be considered
redress. Unsp sting
an act of injustice, within and without Parliament, and
respected for his conscientious speaking and voting, his
efforts in behalf of suffering humanity coald not pass
unheeded. Free from the trammels of office, to which he
nev,r aspired, he frankly anJ unceremoniously interrogated
Ministers of the Crown, whether Whig 4, Tories, Conser-
vatives, or of any shade of polikics, on questions affecting
the liberty of conscience.

Whilst the people, not only of England, but also those
of foreign countries, have to deplore the bereavement of
ono of the moat popular of noblemen—aristocratic by
birth, 'but soberly democratic in his policy—we, as Jews,
have also sustained a loss in his death, as; he not only was
an unshriuking pleader for the Jews in Parliament, but
took a deep interest in our educational and charitable in•
stitutions. Remembering his affability on the last occa-
sion when he attended the anniversary dinner of the Jews,
Free School, we cannot resist using a Rabbinical lamenta-
tion, "Poe for those who aro lost and cannot be found
again !' Among the numerous philanthropists which this
country can boast of, we know of none who will replace
Lord Dudley Stuart.

LORD DUDLEY STUART.
By the grave's coldness palided is the hand
Of whoso bends to drop into its loose
And humid soil the last memorial fiovrer.
While others sing victorious arms, and wounds
Stauncht by the pennon, graspt until the grasp
Of Death was stronger, what for me remains
But languid sorrow and this verso inert ?
Yet thine too, Dudley, thine was warfare, thine
Battle throughout not one brief day alone ;
'T was lifelong, more than lifelong ; still it burns
In mightier hosts than ever Xerxes led,
Or Genobis, or that prouder one who warred
Against the Elements, and Truth, and God.
Dudley ! what he undid thou wouldst restore.
0 Scandinavia ! thou hast borne erewhere
The bravest of mankind, and mourn'd the best
Of all the kings that ever ruled on earth :
His was pure faith, and valour as unstained.
Thus God, whom weak men say they glorify,
By him was glorified. In foren land
He fell; in foren land thou fallest too;
He for his country, thou for all who live.

,THE POSITION OF THE ALLIES IN THE

C.RIIIIEA,

The Moniteur de l'Annee contains the following
remarks on the position of the Allied forces in the

Crimea :

"Many persons feel great apprehensionat seeing 80,000
French and English collected on a space of 240 square
kilometres, Laving on two of their sides a town ftlich they
are besieging, and an armed enemy of nearly their own
amount, but whose attacks have, however, been always re-
pulsed with the most brilliant success; the other sides of that
large surface being besides washed by the sea, where cur
fleets are altogether predominant. These persons fear
that the enemy, hitherto constantly beaten, weakened
morally as well as physically by the great losses which
they have sustained, finding difficulty in receiving pro-
visions as well as camping materials, and having behind
them a country not easy of access, the populationof which
is not friendly to them, may, in the end, triumph over
our brave soldiers, as yet constantly victorious, and
in want of nothing calculated to promote the material
comfort of the troops. To such tremblers we would
reply that there is no reason to fear that the conquerors
should become the conquered ; and that it is sufficient
to call to mind with what vigour, one against four, they
triumphed at Inkerman, and to consider the strength
of the positions which they occupy on the heights
where they are entrenched, to be perfectly at ease
on that point. Besides, these 80,000 men are begin-
ning to see the first battalions arriving of the 40,000
men who are to reinforce them ; and they will soon,
without doubt, be in a condition, should they be an-
noyed by the proximity of the troops of General Dan-
nenburg, to take the necessary measures to get rid of
them ; whilst the corps charged with the attack of Se-
bastopol will coL4inue its work of courageous perse-
verance, of success which is mathematically certain.
There is no cause, consequently, for apprehension.
Our troops are well ,supplied, well clothed, and well
looked after ; their sanitary state is excellent, and the
sea is always open to bring reinforcements and stores, and
to carry away the sick and the prisoners. In fine,
France is great ; the Emperor, certain of the co-opera-
tion of every patriotic heart, watches carefully over the
great interests entrusted to his care. The army in the
East is confided to valiant c,,rnman.ders. The national
glory consequently, far from being coopromised, will re-
main unstained, and the success of this laborious cam-
paign is infallibly ensured within a space of time which
cannot be distant."
