THE PRINCE OF TILE PEACE.—The autobiogra-
phy of this distinguished personage is about to be published
by Mr. Bentley, of New Burlington-street, who has pur-
chased the copyright of HIS HIGHNESS.
MR. O'CONNELL.—In one of his recent addresses,
Mx. O'Connell said :—" Old Edinburgh was' just what
the Lords would have the Constitution remain. There was
one wide street, " the envy and admiration of the world,"
only there was no getting to it without the risk of breaking
one's legs in a struggle through narrow steep lanes, or en-
countering unsavoury showers from loop-hole windows.
Everything was venerable. The houses were veoerable,
with all the comfortable incommodiousness of autiVitY•
The pavement, with the gutter in the middle, was vent:-
rabic. The projecting stairs were venerable. The cellar
entrances, capital trap-holes for the drunken, were vene-
rable. The good folks liked the dirt, and the narrow lanes
and the crowded houses ; it was what their fathers had
been contented with. They even gloried in the smoke, and
" Auld Reekie" was invented as a term at once descrip-
tive and endearing. At length a daring man arose, who
thought that the building of a bridge over the marsh, and
the pulling down of a few houses so as to afford a wide
opening into the main street, would give a better approach
than the old steep and narrow lanes. Much was the scheme
opposed by the Conservatives of that day. It was a dan-
gerous innovation. There was no knowing where it would
end. It was grossly unjust besides to the persons who had
a vested interest in the property which stood in the way of
the improvement. But the innovators prevailed. A good ap-
proach was made from the north. A good approach having
been given from the North, there was less resistance
to one from the south. That was in its turn effected, and
it let in the light of the sun, which to the surprise of the
admirers of venerable darkness, struck no one with blind-
ness, and neither scorched nor burned. The Conserva-
tives of things ancient were right when they said that, one
innovation made, the innovators would not know where to
stop. The city street-reformers, restless as the Radicals
after the Reform Bill was passed, began to talk of their
right to air and light. They made war against all obstruc-
tions, and one " venerable edifice" fell after another. Some
of them who had the ambition to have houses to themselves
thought it better to build them on fresh ground than to add
three stories to the height of the old thirteen-story houses ;
and hence the formation of New Edinburgh, which grew in
beauty and convenience, and as it grew heightened the zeal
for improvement in the Old (just as the example of Ame-
rica has given ardency to the spirit of reform in England,)
till at length beauty became the rule, and deformity the ex-
ception, and the capital, no longer a blot upon the fair
scene, became an appropriate decoration of art to a site on
which nature had lavished her noblest ornanients.'--Man
