THE SUN.
SATURDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1859.

The magnificent tribute of respect and admiration
offered on Wednesday to Lord BROUGHAM by the
inhabitants of his native place, the good city of
Edinburgh, is not likely to be very soon forgotten.
Even if viewed simply in regard to what it was,
it can scarcely be lost very soon to remembrance.
But recollecting what it led to, it can hardly be ob-
literated very easily from the memory of the more
intelligent and patriotic part of the population.

The occasion itself was sufficiently remarkable.
It was a banquet offered to the noble and learned
lord in the eighty-second year of his laborious and
illustrious life, in recognition of his great services
and his great achievements—in how many different
characters ? As an orator. As a man of letters. As a
lawyer. As a philosopher. As a philanthropist.
As a statesman. As one who had made laws, and

had helped to administer them. As a critic and an
historian, As a scientific discoverer, whose re-
searches have been prosecuted with indomitable
energy and unila,ging perseverance up to this pre-
sent period, when he is upwards of eighty-one
years of age, from the time he was a stripling of
seventeen ! Recollect some of the most noticeable
among the prolonged labours of Lord BROUGHAM
in these diversified characters. Recollect that as
an orator he has attained not simply a high
but the highest rank in the Walhalla of
Rhetoric—that he has produced not one but
several distinct and memorable masterpieces

of oratory that are worthy of comparison
with the most brilliant efforts of the greatest
masters of eloquence of modern times or of the
ages of classic antiquity. As a man of letters he
has written with singular brilliancy upon almost
all of the various departments of literature. As a
reviewer in the Edinburgh he occupied from its
' outset one of the most feared and conspicuous
places—goading Lord BYRo-N, by richly merited
sarcasms, to the first display of his extraordinary
genius—upon one occasion when there was a dearth
of copy in the hands of the printer, writing
almost the whole of one of those quarterly volumes
swathed in blue-and-buff. As a lawyer his career
has been such•that he takes rank at once as incom-
parably the greatest law reformer England has
ever had. His labours in that capacity have been
truly herculean. Insomuch that the noble and
learned lord himself good-humouredly acknow-
ledged on Wednesday that the mere enumeration
of his bills and acts " forms"—[we give the noble
and learned lord's own words, together with the
interruptions elicited by them from his hearers]
forms a very cumbrous volume—cumbrous
in all respects—(laughter)—diflieult to buy—
difficult to re?d—l won't say difficult to remem-
ber if you have read it." (Renewed laughter.)
As a philosopher his labours have been such
during upwards of sixty years that they have com-
manded tl:e culogium of one of the most remarkable
among the living chiefs of science—the panegyric
of Sir DAVID BI:EWSTEIt in his life of Sir Isaac
NEWTON. As a philanthropist, even if we
could forget his splendid, exertion; in behalf
of the great principle of popular education, it
would be enough if we were to bear in mind
his glorious suppression of the slave trade by
the effectual device of branding it as a felony.
As the Lord Provost admirably rem,irked on Wed-
nesday, when giving the toast of the evening—
" His is the proud distinction of having most
powerfully contributed to bring to successful issue
those measures which great and wise and good
men had long been labouring, to accomplish for
'the purpose of abolishing the accursed traffic in
human blood, and of raising Great Britain to the
high and noble position of being, along with ber
