ECUADOR.-
The position of General Flores as President of Ecua-
dor has been set forth very fully in a printed paper cir-
culated in the City, and signed " Equatoriano." The
paper is manifestly on the side of the President, but we
do not hesitate to give a pretty long abridgment of its
contents, since detailed news from Ecuador is a scarce
commodity, and a grtwing interest is felt in the pro-
gress of the third Colombian republic, if we may judge
from the operations on the Stock Exchange. Among
other omissions made in the abridgment are the ratifi-
cations of both treaties, which of course are merely
formal :
" In March last year an insurrection broke out in
Guayaquil, the port of a province of Ecuador on the
Pacific ;_ it was headed by a shopkeeper named Senor
Zambo Roca. Roca being convicted of seditious acts,
had been ordered out of the country by the sentence of
the proper tribunal, but with the aid of a large sum of
money contrived to corrupt a company of artillery quar-
tered at Guayaquil, on the eve of his expulsion being
carried into effect. What is called a pronunciamiinto
followed, throwing off obedience to the Government, and
declaring the province independent.
" The President, General Flores (who had been elected
President for eight years in 1843, by the unanimous
suffrages of the people), sent down from Quito, the
capital of Ecuador, a few troops to quell the insurrection,
but it being the winter or rainy season, they could not
get into the town, the adjacent country about Guaya-
quil being flooded for many leagues during the months
of February to July. The rebels had seized upon all
the canoes and boats on the river, so that there was no
getting at them by this channel ; the troops of the Go-
vernment, therefore, went into cantonments at the El-
vire, an estate of the President's, situate at the head of
the river, there to await until the subsiding of the waters
should permit of access to the town.
" The rebels, in the mean time, pressed the people
into their ranks, and emboldened by the delay of the
Government force, ventured up the river in boats to
attack them before they should be reinforced ; they
were miserably beaten, and some hundreds who landed
were thrust back into the river at the point of the
bayonet and drowned. They came up a second time,
and were again repulsed with great slaughter. The
President, ever generous and humane, did not witness
unmoved this destruction of the passive and ignorant
people, over whose welfare he had ever been a vigilant
guardian, by whom he was adored, and whose prosperity
he would have secured by the most enlightened mea-
sures, had he not been constantly thwarted in his views
by the seditious conspiracies of this same truculent in-
cendiary, Roca, and a few others of the same blighted
and broken reputation, who found in the indolent action
of the laws, and weakness of the executive power, time
to carry out their insurrectionary plans with impunity.
Thus in the year 1843, President Flores having asked
and obtained from the Congress of that year* power to
levy a small tax on the people (the people of Ecuador
pay no taxes), in order to secure a positive amount of
money to be solely and exclusively appropriated to the
payment of interest to the British bondholders, and
to restore by this means some portion of the
lost credit of the country, Mr. Zambo Roca raised
the standard of revolt and rebellion against the decree
of the Congress and the measures of the Govern-
ment for carrying that decree into effect, and in
this manner was retarded a settlement with the foreign
creditors notwithstanding the anxious desire of the Pre-
sident to do them justice, and at the same time to re-
lease the country from the stigma of dishonesty and in-
gratitude which still continues to disgrace it. The late
law of public credit established by Roca will convince
the bondholders of what they have to expect from such
a tyro. To return to the rebels of Guayaquil; I shall
briefly state that the President, although at the head of
an army firmly devoted to him, and officered by his
ancient comrades, the veterans of Bolivar, resolved to
spare the effusion of blood in a civil contest which had
no other foundation that the predatory views of Roca and
the gang of smugglers by whom he was surrounded and
supported. The President, moreover, was not unwilling
that the people of Guayaquil should see their leaders in
their true colours, when his own influence in the country
could not be felt or misinterpreted. He therefore de-
sired that respectable persons of Guayaquil should be
selected to enter into a treaty or convention which
should put an end to the contest, and at the same time
enable him to indulge his long cherished desire of visit-
ing Europe. However magnanimous or humane the
policy of this step, it has been much blamed by the
other provinces of Ecuador, whose inhabitants as well
as the main body of the Government forces, only re-
ceived and only consented to a treaty with the rebels in
obedience to the wishes of the President. The following
is a copy of that treaty, and the President's proclama-
tion upon his departure for Europe:—

the chimney. lie requested his brother to go to the
room and bring away the money, in order that he might
not lose it, and that, being found, it might not be evi-
dence against him. The brother refused, but impru-
dently mentioned the circumstance to the wife and
mother-in-law of the prisoner, who went to tho room
and carried off the money. They would probably have
escaped detection, as Langloi, who had been informed
by his brother of what they had done, would not have
mentioned the circumstance to the authorities but for
the conduct of his wife, who whilst he was in prison led
a life of dissipation, and when applied to for as-
sistance to procure him a few comforts sent him
one franc. When the apartment in which the wife
and her mother lived was searched there was found a
quantity of linen, jewellery, &c., which they had pur-
chased with the proceeds of the robbery, and 300 francs
in gold. It was ascertained that the mother, who first
visited the room in the Rue du Four, had cheated
her daughter by abstracting nearly 1,000 francs from the
amount concealed by Langlois. As the evidence of
their guilt was so strong that denial was useless, they
made a confession, and threw themselves upon the
mercy of the Court, the mother pleading for indulgence
for her daughter, who, she said, took no part in the
robbery, although she admitted that she subsequently
partook of the spoil, and the daughter imploring in-
dulgence for her mother on the ground of her having
three younger children entirely dependent upon her for
support. Langlois himself appeared as a witness against
the prisoners, and was very severe in his remarks upon
his wife ; her profligate conduct with other men, and the
wretched pittance that she had sent him in prison, hav-
ing rendered him furious against her, The jury found
both the women guilty. The Court, in its discretion,
lowered the punishment two degrees in favour of the
mother, who was sentenced to three years' imprisonment,
and inflicted the minimum punishment, two years' im-
prisonment on the daughter. The mother heard her
sentence without betraying any emotion, but the wife
fainted, and on her recovery uttered piercing cries.
The other children of the mother, who were in court
during the trial, were removed crying bitterly.—

.dly had General Flores left the country, when
Roca and his gang commenced a series of persecu-
tions against the supporters of the Government which
yet endure. Several of the principal proprietors were
banished the troops faithful to the Government
were disbanded, the chiefs and officers driven from
the country one ley one, on frivolous and vexatious pre-
texts; General Otamendi, a veteran officer, highly distin-
guished, perfidiously assassinated under circumstances
of revolting cruelty, in the presence of his wife and
children; private property seized and pillaged ; the civil
servants of the Government deprived of their offices, and
these filled by the myrmidons of Roca taken from the
lower classes ; in a word, every species of tyranny and
persecution was practised against all who were not will-
ing to disgrace themselves by becoming his obsequious
instruments. In this manner was fulfilled the treaty of
Elvira. In utter disregard of the customs of civilised
beings, and of the disastrous consequences of such bar-
barism, not only did Roca break every article of that
treaty by his atrocious persecution of the loyal sup-
porters of the Government, but he also, by the public
act of a meeting assembled, ad hoc, in December follow-
ing, (last December), annulled that treaty formally, and
had- himself named President of the State. The insane
assemblage which declared that treaty null and void
could do no more to destroy their own pretensions to
legality. By this act General Flores is released from
all and every obligation he had contracted by that treaty.
He re-assumes his position as the constitutional Presi-
dent of Ecuador, and with it all the obligations annexed
to that office. He is bound by every moral and poli-
tical principle to suppress the barbarous faction that
oppresses and disgraces the country which he himself
called into political existence. This alone is the object ;
he has in view ; the neighbouring states have nothing to '
apprehend from President Flores, the whole tenour of
whose prive and public life affords ample guarantees for ]
the future."—Tkes.

shanger,on the sth of September, at the age of sixty-two.

HAMBURGH and FLANDERS MAIL.
BRUSSELS, OCT. I.—Her Majesty the Queen, the
Duke of Brabant, the Count de Flanders, the Prineess
Charlotte, and their attendants, left Lacken this morn-
ing, about six o'clock, for Paris. At the southern
terminus they took their seats in the royal carriage in
which they were to proceed to St. Cloud, where the
royal family of France are at present residing.
The following confirms the intelligence which we gave
yesterday of a meeting of the manufacturers of Ghent,
for the purpose of maintaining a moderate protection in
favour of national manufacture.
The cotton manufacturers of Ghent, at a meeting
which took place the day before yesterday, appointed a
committee to make a report on the several questions
which the society of the partisans of a free trade has
just proposed.
The new entrepot of the city of Brussels, which is
to be opened to-day, the Ist of October, has already
cost 1,040,000 francs. This sum has bt en paid out of
the credit voted by the municipal council in the years
1842, 1843, 1845, and 1846. Four years have sufficed
for the erection of this gigantic building.
The labours of the harvest, and the fine weather
which we have enjoyed for some days, still keeps the
peasants employed in the field. Accordingly, the
markets of the capital are not so well supplied, and this
naturally causes a rise in the prices.
We have received from Poperinghe further informa-
tion respecting the hop gathering, which is now entirely
terminated. We have already stated that there are very
few years so favourable as the present. The value of
the hops produced at Poperinghe may be estimated,
without exaggeration, at a million and a half pounds,
and that of the neighbouring communes at half a
million, In ordinary years the produce is scarcely a
million at Poperinghe. Reckoning the value of the
present crop at the average price of only 50 francs per
hundred pounds, the cultivation of hops will have pro-
duced the sum of a million francs to the inhabitants of
Poperinghe and its vicinity.
A letter from St. Petersburgh states that the works on
the railway to Moscow are proceeding rapidly, and that
this grand communication will probably be opened in
1847.

arrived in the port of Antwerp (coming from sea), with
various cargoes, 1,719 ships, not including 4 English
yachts, the schooner Louisa Maria, a Belgian ship com-
ing from Holland by the inland waters, and 5 new ships

PERFECTION in LAMP OIL.—A PATENT.
CLARK'S PATENT SPERM OIL, only 55. per imperial
gallon, is brigkt as crystal in the coldest weather, and lasts longer
than real sperm. It burns in all 'descriptions of Argand Lamps. The
treat expense of Sperm Oil, and the trouble of common oils, can now
be dispensed with at pleasure. It is admirably suited for Solar
Lamps, as they will not want cleaning for years, and being so pure,
four gallins go as far as flue gallons of any common oils ; so, in
reality, Clark's Patent Sperm Oil is cheapest. Families laying In
their stock of Spermaceti or 'Wax Candles, Soaps, &c. &c. will
positively sage 30 per cent. is their outlay. This Is no fiction,, and
this systcut of equitable charges the public will support.

CURIOUS ROBBERY.
Rather more than a menith ago a young man named
Langlois, who was garcon de bureau to M. Bernard, an
agent d'cufaires in the Bee Taranne, was tried for rob-
bing his master of a sum of 3,137 francs, and sentenced
to seven years' imprisonment. The circumstances of
the robbery were rather curious. Langlois, who did
not sleep at the house of his employer, but went there
early every morning, himself gave the alarm, and the
family, on quitting their beds, found the office in a state
of confusion, with stains of blood on the floor, ehymical
matches lying about, and a window forced. Langlois
himself bad done all this to make it appear that the place
had been entered by burglars, and that one of them had
been wounded in doing so. Langlois, however, overacted
his part so much that he was suspected and arrested. He
protested his innocence up to the moment of his con-
demnation ; but on the following day confessed his
guilt, and made some disclosures which led to the ar-
rest of his wife, a young and very pretty woman,
and her mother, whose name is Froment. They were
brought before the Court of Assizes charged
with having had a knowledge of the robbery,
and with having converted the proceeds of it
to their own use. It appeared from the evidence
that a few days before the trial of Langloiz he revealed to
his brother, who had gone to see him in prison, that he
had really stolen the money, and in order to conceal it
from his wife and his mother-in-law, who he said would
soon have dissipated it, he had hired a room in the Rue
du Four, St. Germain, and had put it, with the exception
of 40 francs, which lie had to .en fvr um:indigo we, in

PRICE SD.

THE REGISTRATIONS.
CITY OF LONDON.
Yesterday morning, at half•past ten o'clock, the Re-
vising Barrister resumed the revision of the lists of house-
holders.

JUMENTS
Shortly after entering the court.
The BARRISTER said there are three cases which stand
over for Judgment, in which the only question is whether
the parties respectively occupy certain premises as tenants,
by reason of the landlord of each residing in the house.
They are the cases of John Davies Price, in the list of
the parish of St. Clement, Eastcheap, down for a count •
ing-house, 3, Church-court, Clement's-lane; Frederick
William Grainger, in the parish of St. Margaret, New
Fish-street, for a counting-house, 17, Pudding-lane;
Henry Woodgate Saffel, in the parish of St. Leonard,
Eastcheap, for a counting-house, 5, Eastcheap. Mr.
Price occupies three rooms as a counting-huuse on
the first floor of the house, 3, Church-court, which
communicate with each other internally, and have
two doors opening into the common passage of'
the house. The landl4dy of the house, Mrs. Artis, re-
sides in it, occupying the ground floor as a parlour, and
kitchen, and the rooms above the first floor as sleeping
apartments for herself and servant. The street-door of
the house is always left open on week days during the
hours of business, but Mr. Price has no key of that
door, the key is kept by the landlady; he has, however,
the keys to the passage doors of the rooms in his occu-
pation; these keys are left at night with the landlady's
servant, who has the charge of cleaning and looking
after the rooms in question, and for these services the
landlady is paid 51. a year more in the rent than she
would be if Mr. Price had a servant of his own to look
after the rooms. Under these circumstances I am of
opinion that Mr. Price does not occupy the rooms in
question as a tenant, but merely as a lodger, and that
the case falls within the principle of Pitt's case (1 Bar.
and Arn, 344), and Hill's case (Ib , 409). It was ad-
mitted, indeed, by Mr. Wansey, who appeared to
support the vote of Mr. Price, that if that gen-
tleman had slept in the rooms he occupied he
would clearly be a lodger, but in my opinion the
quality of the occupation does not depend upon the
purposes for which the occupier may use the premises.
I cannot suppose, for example, that if a party occu-
pies the drawing-room floor of an ordinary dwelling-
house in which his landlord resides, the outer door of
the house being left shut, and be uses the apartments in
his occupation for the purposes of business only, and
calls them a counting-house, he is to be entitled to the
franchise, when he would certainly not be entitled to it
if he used the same rooms as a dwelling-house. In other
words, I think that where a qualification is conferred
in respect of the occupation of a counting-house, it is in-
tended that the premises should be of such a nature as
that if used as a dvvelling-house they would be sufficient
to confer the qualification as " a house." Nor do I think
that the circumstance of the street-door being left open
during the day makes any difference in such a case. It
is probably done here for the accommodation of Mr.
Price, but it appears to me that as the landlady resides
in the house she retains in law the control over the door.
I am of opinion, therefore, that Mr. Price's name must
be expunged. The circumstances in Mr. Grainger's case
are precisely similar in all essential particulars to that
in Mr. Price's, and this case will therefore be governed
by that decision, and Mr. Grainger's name will be ex-
punged. In Mr. Saffel's case there are some impor-
tant facts of a different character. That gentleman
also occupies the first floor of the house No. 5, East-
cheap, as a counting-house, and his landlord occupies
the ground floor as a shop, and the upper part of the
house above the first floor as a residence ; but this upper
part is shut off from the lower portion by a door at the
foot of the staircase leading from the first, floor ; and
that door is fastened, and the key of it kept by the land-
lord. The street-door of the house is, as in Mr. Price's
case, always left open during the hours of business ; and
it was proved in this case that this was so done by an
express agreement with the landlord ; but Mr. Saffel
has no key to it. The shop has a separate entrance from
the street, and there is a side door from the shop into
the passage of the house, which door is not fastened up,
but which is used by the landlord when he wishes to go
from the shop to the upper part of the house. Mr.
Saffel's own servant takes charge of the rooms in his
occupation. lam of opinion that Mr. Saffel occupies
these rooms as " tenant," and that he possesses a good
qualification in support of them. It appears to me that
the upper portion of the house in which the landlord re•
sides is so sufficiently divided from the rest of the build-
ing as to form, in law, a distinct and separate tenement;
the outer door to which may be considered to be
the door opening upon the staircase. If the shop on
the ground floor had no communication with the pas-
sage, the case, I think, would have presented ho
doubt, because in that case the shop and the first
floor would have been also two distinct and separate
tenements; but as the shop has a door inte the passage
leading to Mr. Saffel's apartments, I consider the whole
lower front of the house as in the nature of one tene-
ment. But of this the landlord only occupies a part; he
resides, it may be said, elsewhere, in what I consider to
he in law a separate building; and I decide this case,
therefore, in accordance with the decisions in which I
have held that the mere occupation by a landlord of part
of a house will not disqualify a party who occupies ano-
ther portion of the same house, a point upon which,
however, I may say that I do not feel very confident in
the absence of any deciSion by a higher tribunal. The
street-door in this case might perhaps be looked upon es
a mere protection to the premises, in the nature of a
door or gate at the end of a court passage, or at the en-
trance to a building containing several sets of chambers,
which is left open during the day, and closed for safety
at night. But Ido not lay much stress upon the fact of
this door being left open by day, and that it is so by an
express agreement between the parties, for if it were
usually kept closed, it would still be but the case I have
before mentioned, that of the mere occapation by the
landlord of a portion of the tenement consisting of the
lower portion of the house. I decide, therefore, that Mr.
Saffel's name will be retained.
Mr. Wansey begged the Court would allow him a little
time to consider whether he should take a case on the
question of the counting-house, as he considered it one
of importance.
The BARRISTER also considered the question of very
great importance, and expressed the greatest willingness
to accede to the application of Mr. Wansey.
George Catherwood claimed to be registered on the
ground of successive occupation from No. 3 to No. 1,
Warnford-court, but the premises which he occupied in
successive occupation not being described, the name was
expunged.

DEATH OF SIR CHARLES
WOLESLEY, BART.
(From the Times.)
_ _ _

Thilevent, which took place at Wolesley-hall, in Staf-
fordshire, on Saturday last, was neither premature nor
unexpected. The youthful part of the present generation
may probably consider Sir Charles to have been a person
who occupied so little of public attention that he might
be permitted now to descend into the grave without any
very especial notice; but the elder portion of our readers
will readily recollect that he rendered himself in uo slight
degree remarkable during that part of the Reform agi-
tations in which hunt and Cobbett took prominent
parts. The course that Sir Charles then pursued was,
for such a man, really singular. Ile was a person of
good substance, and belonging to the higher classes
of society, both in right of his birth and of his title.
If he had possessed a seat in the House of Commons,.
his standing forward as an advocate of Parliamentary
Reform in that assembly would have occasioned no sur-
prise whatever; but that he, a gentleman we believe in
all senses of the word, should have associated himself
with the seditious demagogues out of doors, who took
advantage of general distress and popular ignorance to
promote their own sinister and unworthy objects, was a
course of conduct for which scarcely any parallel can be
found. That he was extremely eccentric those who
knew him will be quite ready to admit, but he was per-
haps the only man amongst his contemporaries who,
without any mean or selfish purposes, permitted him-
self to be made so completely an instrument in the hands ,
of those who then traded upon the virtue of patriotism,
and hoped to share in the plunder of a revolution.
From all that baseness Sir Charles Woleiley WAS
perfectly free, and it is only fair and just that the close
of his life should be attended by some expression cf re-
gret and respect. He was in the 78th year of his age,
having been born on the 20th of July, 1769. The family
from which Sir Charles was descended is one of con-
siderable antiquity, but it was often difficult to repress
a smile at the earnestness with which the dignity of
his ancestry used to be insisted on by those who desired
to make him an efficient instrument in the cause of sedi-
tion. With them a Tory squire was " the tenth transmitter
of a foolish face," but in a democrat ancient birth was
"a jewel of price;" and there can be no doubt that
the Wolesleys are one of the best families in Stafford-
shire. Their founder was Siwardus, Lord of Wilkie ;
the fifth in descent from him was Robert' Lord Of Wo-
lesley, who appears to have been the head Of the fairriky-f
in the thirteenth century, and Ralph, another descend-
ant, was one of the Barons of the Exchequer in the
time of Edward IV. Sir Robert, the first of the family
who received a baronetcy, was so created on the 24th of
November, 1628, and held the office of Clerk of the
Patents in Chancery. The fifth son of Sir Robert ac-
companied William 111. to Ireland, commanded" the
Enniskillen men at the battle of the Boyne and after-
wards became one of the Lords Justices of Ireland. Sir
Charles, the eldest son of Sir Robert, was Member for
Stafford in the reign of Charles 1., and his son became
a zealous adherent of Cromwell, so that there appears
to have been in this race a tendency to Liberalism in the
17th century, as well as in the 19th. The third baronet,
Sir William, was drowned on the Bth of July, 1728, in
fording a brook, when he, his lorses, and carriage were'
carried away by the sudden bursting of a mill-dam. Of
the fourth and fifth baronets nothing memorable
is recorded. The sixth married Mies Chambers,-of
Wimbledon, in Surrey, and the eldest surviving issue of
that marriage forms the subject of the present notice.
He was the seventh baronet, and was twice' married, fir.it
on the 13th of December, 1794, to Mary, daughter of the
Hon. Thomas Clifford, of Tixall, in Staffordshire, by
whom he had three children. This lady died -on the
16th July, 1811, and within one year from that date Sir
Charles, being then in the 43d year of his age, married,
on the 2d of July, 1812, Anne, the youngest daughter
of Anthony Wright, Esq., of Wealdside, in the county
of Essex, by whom he had six children.
The subject of this notice succeeded to the baronetcy
upon the death of his father, in the thonth of August,
1817. At that precise period the transition from a state
of war to a state of peace, combined with the influence
of a succession of deficient harvests, produced very
general distress, dried up the sources of manufacturing
prosperity, produced much disturbance amongst the
town population, and as usual led to a clamorous de-
mand for a change in the representation of the people.
When such sentiments are afloat no place partakes of
them so largely as the neighbourhood of Birmingham.
As Wolesley Hall is not very far from that great com-
mercial emporium, Sir Charles was selected by the
Brummagem patriots as the best card in their hand ;
they, therefore, ' prevailed on him to attend the
consultations of their committees, to move their
resolutions at . public meetings, and even occa-
sionally - to address large assemblies of that
class out of which those political unions were
formed, which so materially promoted the passing of the
Reform Act. Thus carried 'on step by step, Sir Charles
Wolesley ended by becoming 'a Radical Reformer. His
admirers in that town,' which has been called the " great
smithy of the nation," considered that they -ought to be
represented in the great council of the nation;: and that
principle has certainly been recognised in the memorable
measure of reform; but in the days when Sir Charles
Wolesley was a demagogue the idea of electing a
(ember for Birmingham was regarded 'tis something.
just short of high treason. The sturdy smiths of Eng-
land's forge were, however, resolved to secure the
agency of a legislatorial attorney, and incontinently
they summoned a meeting, which took place at Newhall-
hill, near Birmingham, on the 12th of May, 1819. As
every experienced politician expected, this terminated in
mere smoke, and the whimsical crotchet of a legislatorial
attorney ended where it began, with the clamorous elec-
tion of Sir Charles, by 15,000 or 20,000, some say 50,000,
of the men of Birmingham and its vicinity! It was pre- -
tending to send a man to Parliament, who—as the electors
well knew—could not sit; and therefore to some extent it
resembled the Clare election in 1828; when,' before the
Emancipation Act, aßoman Catholic was retuned. The re-
sults of the latter, however, assumed a very serious
aspect, while those of the former were simply ludicrous.
Still the desire of Sir Charles to become a popular idol
was not baffled by the ill-success of the scheme which
made him an attorney. It is true that Mr. Wooler and
others were tried for this attempt to force their favourite '
Baronet into the House of Commons; that they were -
convicted and imprisoned. Unfortunately Sir Charles
wits not to be taught by the lessons which the experience
of others presented; and accordingly we find him in the
same year making a speech at Stockport, for which he
was brought to trial and suffered twelve months' im-
prisonment. Every effort was made to give his trial,
his imprisonment, and even his liberation all advantages
to be derived from theatrical effect and popular
enthusiasm; but the measures taken for that purpose
were not quite so successful as they usually prove, for
Sir Charles was not a first-rate demagogue, and the
distress of the working classes was gradually be-
ginning to abate. But the reforming propensities of
Sir Charles were not destined yet to undergo any
abatement. On the 11th of March, 1820, he was again
brought to trial for sedition, jointly with a man of
the name of Joseph Harrison, a schoolmaster. This
proceeding took place at the Chester assizes ; both were -
found guilty, and sentenced to eighteen months' impri-
sonment. Even these heavy punishments did not alto-
gether check the mistaken zeal of Sir Charles Wolesley,
for he is found continuing to attend Reform meetings as
long as they continued to be held ; but when the late
Lord Sidmouth ceased to be Home Secretary, and Mr.
Canning began to lead the Ministerial party, it so hap-
pened that the question of Parliamentary Reform went
somewhat out of fashion, and the only occasion which;
presented itself for the display of Sir Charles Wolesley's
patriotism was that of becoming one of the sureties for
Mr.'Hunt upon his liberation from Ilchester gaol. Par-

liamentary reform, though it slumbered for a season,
awoke in 1830 with an energy which proved to be the
harbinger of eventual triumph. But by that time Sir
Charles had declined into the vale of years. The frost
of more than threescore winters had chilled in his heart
the spirit of political enterprise. Mightier men than he
stood forward to lead the popular movement, and there-
fore he retired to his proper position in society, ending
his days as he ought to have spent his entire the
privacy of his own home.
