THE '8 tsT
LONDON; SATURDAY, 11110. 15, 1860.

--..--

It has often been remarked of late how many
of
our leading statesmen have arrived at that period
of life when we might presume that their most
favourite •reading among the classics would be,
let us say, CICERO'S De 6.'enectlite. In the ordinary
course of nature but a brief interval of time can be
reasonably expected to elapse now before the
majority of them must have disappeared. The
historic names of this InemoraWe majority will
start
at once to recollection. It requires from us in this
place nothing so invidious, or at any rate so inde-
corous as a distinct enumeration. It is a catalogue
of famous names already beginning to diminish
ria.pidly. Another has just dropped out of the list.
To the record of his career there has now been
added at a single breath—his last—the closing
motto for the lives of us all, the Finis Corona& The
venerable Earl of ABERDEEN—born on the 28th of
January, 1774, died on the 13th of. December, 1860
--has passed away for ever from the scene of his
labours in the House of Lords, to assume his
place in effigy, such a place as he may be found to
