The Life and Times of Charles fames iox. By the
Right Hon. Lord John Russell, M.P. Vol. I.
Bentley.
In the fourth volume of the corr espandence of
Charles James Fox, the right hon .ourablc editor
promised to place in a connected nr.irrative a rela-
tion of the political career and an account of the
times of that eminent man. In tb at narrative he
undertook that the great events v f his life should
be prominetly set forth, and his yablic policy fully
discussed. That promise he Eras now fulfilled by
giving us the first volume of a.,.vork which promises
to be a valuable addition to the Parliamentary
history of England. He lie,s acquitted himself of
his laborious task with sue cess. The style is clear
and concise, the tone of the work impartial, and
the political criticisms are, for the most part, just
and liberal, though reflecting, of course, the poli-
tical sentiments of the author. The Parlia-
mentary struggles are described with the spirit
and readiness to loe expected from one who has so
long mingled in the strife of the arena. The
author tells us in the preface that he has " found
it impossible to perform his task without entering
very fully into the Parliamentary history of the
times. A great leader, who took a prominent part
in the main discussions of the House of Commons
from 1775 to 1806 is identified with that which is
the life of England—her free debates in Parlia-
ment." Few of the readers of the work will be
disposed to regret this necessity the Parlia-
mentary history of those thirty years being one
of the most animated pages in European history,
whether we regard the importance of the
events discussed, the extended influence of
the policy adopted, or the brilliant elo-
quence and administrative ability of the rival
politicians. This first volume brings us down
to the junction of Mr. Fox with Lord North
—that unpopular combination which his right hon-
ourable biographer terms "the one great political
error of his life." It leads us, therefore, through
all the stormy debates on the American War,
through all the earlier years of Mr. Fox's triumphs
in the senate, and shows us his great rival just ap-
pearing on the scene, already a fluent debater,
speaking with a readiness and dignity that foretold
his future eminence. The details of the disgraceful
misgovernment during the American War are given
with force and succinctness. The lamentable par-
ticulars are well known • but the numerous extracts
given from Fox's speeches will be new to many
readers. They- are full of fire and spirit, and display
that vivid eloquence for which he was always so
remarkable. Speaking of his oratory, in the pre-
face, Lord J. Russell quotes a forcible passage from
Lord Erskine. He remarks that the remains of
his speeches are mere sketches, for that shorthand
alone, secured at the moment, could have perpetu-
ated their lustre and effect, but that still the correct
substance remains, which preserves from oblivion
more than by such means could be obtained of any
other speaker. "Eloquence which consists more
in the dexterous structure of periods, and in the
powers and harmony of delivery, than in the extra-
ordinary vigour of the understanding, may be com-
pared to a human body, not so much surpassing
the dimensions of ordinary nature as remarkable

The leading country markets held on Saturday were but
moderately supplied with wheat. Good and fine samples
moved off slowly, at very full prices, and the value of other
kinds was supported. Fine barley has realised extreme
currencies. In all other produce the transactions were far
more numerous, on former terms.
Throughout the Continent wheat has sold at a slight
advance, but damp parcels have continued heavy. Most
kinds of spring corn have commanded extreme rates. In
the United. States produce has further improved in value.
The arrivals of English produce up to our market last
week were only moderate. From abroad we received 6,024
quarters of wheat, 13,555 barley, 9,360 oats, 890 beans, 50
peas, 200 tares, 2,500 linseed, 1,000 rapeseed, 577 sundry
seeds, 566 sacks and 50 barrels of flour.
Owing to the continued firmness in most of the provincial
markets, and to the arrival of a very moderate supply
coastwise and by land carriage, the factors commenced
business to-day by asking is to 2s per quarter more money
for nearly all kinds of English wheat. Millers, however,
operated cautiously; nevertheless, the demand may be con-
sidered somewhat steady, at last Monday's currency.
We were well supplied with most descriptions of foreign
wheat. Good and fine samples were in fair request, at full
quotations; but other kinds met a dull inquiry, on former
terms.

Floating cargoes :of grain, off Falmouth, sold at full
prices.
Fine barley was scarce, and in request at extreme quo-
tations. Grinding and distilling sorts met a dull inquiry,
and prices were the turn lower.
There was very little inquiry for any kind of malt,
and to have forced sales lower rates must have been sub-
mitted to.

In the value of oats no change took place, and the trans-
aetions were by no means numerous.
Beans were in fair request at fully last week's quotations.
Peas changed hands steadily at full prices.
Flour was rather firm, but the demand for it was by no
means active.

for the symmetry and' beauty of its parts.
If the shorthand writer, like the statuary
or painter, has made no memorial of such

an Orator, little is left to distinguish him ; but in
the most imperfect relics of Fox's speeches the bones
of a giant are to be discovered." At the conclusion
of the preface we find the following remarks :

Horace Walpole says :—" Fox had not the ungraceful
hesitation of his father, yet scarce equalled him in subtlety
and acuteness. But no man ever excelled him in the close-
ness of argument, which flowed from him in a torrent of
vehemence, as declamation sometimes does from those who
want argument." Burke has called him "the greatest
debater the world ever saw ;" Mackintosh " the most
Demosthenean speaker since Demosthenes." We must be
content with these testimonies. Of eloquence it has been
eloquently said—" Eloquentia sicut flamma, materie alitur,
motu excitatur, urendo clarescit." Mr. Pitt thus happily
rendered the passage—" It is of eloquence as of a flame : it
requires matter to feed it, motion to excite it, and it
brightens as it burns." But it also 'wastes like a flame.
The bright stars of poetry shine to us in the heavens as
they shone to our fathers three thousand years ago ; the
flames of oratory have, in too many cases, blazed like earthly
fires, scorching and consuming in the hour of their fierce-
ness ; pale and glimmering when that hour is past and their
work is done. But in the work itself orators have their true

fame.• Those who, like Pym and Hampden, and withstood
a despotic Court—who, like Somers, have restored the
liberties of their country—who, like Chatham, have exalted
its reputation—or who, like Fox, have placed on a height
their beacon to save the wandering friends of freedom
from destruction—may be content to let their speeches
moulder in the dust of libraries, while their names are
hallowed in the temples they have founded, adorned, and
preserved.

The biographer finds occasion to regret the foolish
indulgence of his father, who introduced him early
to Parisian society and the gaming table, thereby
fostering. the faults that his open pleasure-loving
disposition naturally exposed him to. The'follow-
ing anecdote is curious :
In a letter from Kingsgate, dated July 25th, 1765, his
father says—" Charles has been here, but is now at_Oxford

studyindvery hard, after two months at Paris, which he
relished as much as ever. Such a mixture in education

was never seen, but, extraordinary as it is, it seems likely to

do well."

That this education enabled Mr. Fox to read the Greek

and Latin poets with facility, to make himself familiar with
French and Italian literature, and to become very early a
man of the world, cannot be disputed. But, on the other
hand, it led to desultory habits of study, and, what was
much worse, to a fondness for the pleasures of unbridled
youth, which in his after life marred the effect of his bril-
liant talents, and prevented his acquiring the entire confi-
dence of the moral and sober part of the nation.
It must have been in 1767 that his mother paid a visit
to Lady Chatham, of which she gave the following account
to her husband :—" I have been, this morning, with Lady
Hester Pitt, and there is little William Pitt, now eight
years old, and really the cleverest child I ever saw, and
biought up so strictly and so proper in his behaviour, that,
mark my words, that little boy will be a thorn in Charles's
side as long as he lives." A very singular prediction,
showing not only the early cleverness of the two boys, but
the cherished ambition of their parents, the wise strictness
of Lord and Lady Chatham, and the sagacity of Lady
Holland.

When little more than nineteen Charles Fox en•
tered Parliament for that borough of Midhurst,
whose political existence it is now proposed to
annihilate. His wonderful abilities soon made him
remarkable. After a brief tenure of office, under
Lord North, as junior Lord of the Treasury, his
daring temper led him to involve his chief in a dif-
ficulty which resulted in his dismissal.

On the 24th of February Charles Fox was dismissed from
the Board of Treasmy. It is said that on this occasion
Lord. North wrote him the following laconic note —" His
Majesty has thought proper to order a new Commission of
Treasury to be made out, in which I do not see your name.
—NORTH."
Horace Walpole says, speaking of Lord North :—" With
his usual hurry after indalence, he turn'd out Charles Fox,
as a threat to those who might incline to desert, but with-
out effect."

It is to be lamented that during this period of his life
Mr. Fox entered deeply—almost madly—into the pursuit of
gaming. Loid Egremont afterwards suspected that he was
the dupe of foul play. Be that as it might, he borrowed to
such an extent, that the purchase of the annuities he had
granted cost his fond ani indulgent father no less a sum
than £140,000.

Horace Walpole tells us :—" As the gaming and extra-
vagance of young men of quality had arrived now at a
pitch never heard of, it is worth while to give some account
of it. They had a club at Almack's, in Pall Mall, where
they played only for•rouleaus of £5O each, and generally
there was £lO,OOO in specie on the table. Lord Holland
had paid above £20,000 for his two sons. Nor were
the manners of the gamesters, or even their dresses for
play, undeserving notice. They began by pulling off
their embroidered clothes, and put on frieze greatcoats, or
turned their coats inside outwards for luck. They put on
pieces of leather (such as are worn by footmen when they
clean the knives) to save their laced ruffles ; and to guard
their eyes from the light and to prevent tumbling their
hair, wore high-crowned straw hats with broad brims and
adorned with flowers and ribbons ; masks to conceal their
emotions when they played at quinzo. Each gamester had
a small neat stand by him, to hold their tea, or a wooden
bowl with the edge of ormolu to hold their rouleaus. They
borrowed great sums of Jews at exorbitant premiums.
Charles Fox called his outward room, where those Jews
waited till he rose, his Jerusalem Chamber.
Soon, however, he had the opportunity of dis.
tinguishing himself in a more honourable way, by
his defence of the American colonists. The speech
of Lord Chatham, on moving an address to the
Crown, at the commencement of the year 1775. is
most remarkable, not only for the correctness of its
principles, or the eloquence of its expressions, but
for the subsequent fufilment of the prophecy, with I,
which he foretold the humiliating abandonment of
the unjust and arbitrary claims of Government. " I
trust it is. obviou s to your lordships," he observes at its
close, "that all attempts to impose servitude upon
such men; to establish despotism over such a mighty
continental nation, must be vain, must be fatal.
We shall be forced ultimately to retreat; let us
retreat while we can, not when we must. I say we
must necessarily undo these violent, oppressive
acts ; they must be repealed—you will repeal
them. I pledge myself for it that you will in the
end repeal them ; I stake my reputation on it. I
will consent to be taken for an idiot if they are not
finally repealed. Avoid, then, this humiliating_
this disgraceful necessity. With a dignity becorn•
ing your exalted situation, make the first advances
to concord, to peace, and happiness. For that is
your true dignity, to act with prudence and justice.
That you should first concede is obvious, from sound
and rational policy. Concession comes with better
grace and more salutary effect from superior power;
it reconciles superiority of power with the feelings
of men, and establishes solid confidence in the
foundations of affection and gratitude. So thought
a wise poet and a wise man in political sagacity—
the friend of Mecwn as and the eulogist of Augustus.
To him, the adopted son and successor of the first
Caesar, to him, the master of the world, he wisely
urged this conduct of prudence and dignity. Tu
