he may confidently assert that, viewed altogether, the exist-
ing Music Hall, the New Fine Arts Gallery, and the recently
added Ante-Hall, will present an attraction which, whether
as regards the architectural beauty of the structures them-
selves, or the varied and hitherto unattempted combinations
within, will be found to be wholly without parallel in the

FRIDAY. DECEMBER 3, 1858.

A noble-hearted, gallant English Tar has passed
from amongst us in the person of Vice-Admiral
EDMUND, first Baron LYONS of Christchurch.
Peace to his ashes—honour to his memory. Let us
hang a votive F,aziand up among the trophies won
by his valour, and piled in glittering array by the
couch upon which, now, " after life's fitful fever,
he sleops well!" Conspicuous among those trophies
the heraldric shield upon whicia the arms of his
ennobled house are emblazoned—with the haughty
motto beneath Noli Irritare Leones—with the
bloody print upon it (A.D. 1840) of the hand of the
baronetcy—above the escutcheon the baron's coro
net awarded to him (A.D. 1856) by royal paten t
under the great seal and under the sign- manual of
the SOVEREIGN. There, too, by the dead sailor are
the insignia of the orders of knighthood bestowed
upon him in recognition of his high qualities and
his great services to more than one of the chief
powers of Europe—the grand cross and riband of
the Bath—the star of the Guelphic order of Han •
over—the Grand Cross of the Legion of Honour—
the Cross of St. Louis of France—the Star of the
Medjidie of Turkey—the Grand Cross of Savoy—and
the Greek symbols of a Knight Companion of the,
Redeemer. There they all lie in the mortuary room at
Arundel Castle—together:with .the brave Vice-Ad-
miral's sword, his medals and clasps, and the signs
of his high rank, socially and professionaW as
.2 peer of the realm, and as a naval-commander. It
is a gallant display. Honour to whom honour is
due—the palm to whomsoever deserves it. But—
while there is a hackneyedold serapof Latin which
says De mortuis nil nisibonum—there is also ano-
ther equally familiar, if not to all, at any rate to
very many schoolboys, De mortuis nil nisi verum.
Of the dead let nothing but " truth" be spoken. It
Is a wise saying enough. And there is another
almost as old—certainly equally sagacious in its
way—which recommends the eulogist of a great
man never to bring a greater into comparison with
the theme of his panegyric.
Now, precisely this most mistaken kind of enco-
nium has been pronounced by The Times in a
studied and deliberate manner over the inanimate
remains of Admiral Lord LYONS upon the very
morrow of his demise. Poor Lord LYONS had
hardly breathed his last on Wednesday the
24th of November—when our contemporary,
on Thursday the 25th of November—drevi
a distinct parallel (according to its view) between
Lord LYONS and—ye gods !of all men in the
wide world—Lord NELSON! One might as reason.
ably compare General WOLFE and HANNIBAL—
SPRAT and SHAKSPERE—SOULOUQTJE and NAPO-
LEON BONAPARTE. The comparison is altogether
something quite preposterous. We honour the
gallantry of Lord LYONS as much as anyone. , We
have always done so. And certainly, if ever we
have been disposed to do so with unaffected cor-
diality, it is at the present moment, when the noble
