Chiefs of Parties, Past and Present, with Original
Anecdotes. By Daniel Owen Maddyn, Esq.,
author of "The Age of Pitt and Fox." 2 vols.
Skeet.
These entertaining and animated volumes give
us glimpses of some of the chief actors in the poli-
tical world during the last half century., The
author having been prevented from completing his
work on " The Age of Pitt and Fox," has accepted
a suggestion made to him, and has occupied himself
in illustrating the careers and characters of the
principal statesmen of the last sixty years. Some
political pieces, formerly published, have been in-
corporated with these sketches, and the work is
not devoid of a higher value than mere entertain-
ment, as it traces the progress of political history
and party warfare during a succession of eventful
epochs. Commencing with an introductory essay
on the " Use of Party," be gives us "A Day with
Fox," and "A Day with Pitt," contrasting their
characters and powers with some ability. He then
devotes a chapter to " The Grenvilles," and another
to Lord Castlereagh. His observations on " The
Eve of the Reform Era," and on " The Cabinet
of 1831-2-3-4" are well worthy of perusal, and show
some insight into political character, and a ready
appreciation of the difficulties of the time. His
series of portraits of the members of the Reform
Cabinet are sketched with vigour, and the want of
congeniality in its component parts strongly insisted
on. Sir Robert Peel, although his great abilities
are readily acknowledged, is not a favou-
rite with the author, as may be gathered
from • his entitling the portion devoted to
his career, " Peel, or the great Ambiguity."
He accords high praise to some epochs of his Par-
liamentary career, and pays a tribute to his many
noble qualities as a man when he differs from him
as a statesman. The author is a shrewd observer,
and his penetration frequently detects characteristic
qualities or peculiarities of intellect that would
escape• superficial critics. His sketch of Lord
Macaulay, though scarcely doing justice to the great
essayist's varied abilities, contains much truth. He
remarks that he occasionally relies on rhetoric to do
the work of logic. The following passage gives a
summary of his criticism. He has been alluding to
some contradictory passages in Lord Macaulay's
writings :
" The truth we take to be is, that on these and equally
momentous subjects, Lord Macaulay has been accustomed
to think merely like an orator. He looks only at the ex-
ternal aspects of institutions and systems, and considers
them from a painter's and not a philosopher's point of view.
To portray what appears to him, rather than to prove and
ascertain the positiveness of an idea or principle, is the na-
tural functions of his ultra-pictorial mind. Goethe looked
on the men around him and on the phases of life with the
perceptions of an artistic dramatist. Lord Macaulay re-
gards' society, and thinks upon the world's, sublime and
mysterious history, not as an investigator or an archa3olo-
gist, but with the sentiments of a picturesque essayist.
Effect—effect—effect—is the perpetual and almost the sole
object of his aim. For his originality we must look to his
style, not his spirit—to his utterance, and not to his medi-
tation. He is unrivalled in literature in placing in a strik-
ing way what has been known before. Thus when there is
only talent in his thoughts, we see genius in his vivid
words and suggestive diction. Assimilation and illustra-
tion are the main resources which he • employs. Faded
commonplaces he retouches with exquisite art, and the
haggard wrinkles of senile Whiggery he rejuvenises with
his literary pearl powder and rhetorician's rouge. A great
master of language, he so writes, and often speaks, that
while understood- by his esoterical admirers who are ini-
tiated in his manner, he does not raise a, murmur from the
unsuspicious crowd, who have not sense to decipher his
enigmatical- ambiguities, and who credulously revere his
high-sounding rhetorical heroics for revelations of the pro-
foundest philosophical importance I" • . .
His sketch of Mr. Wilson Croker; unenviably im-
mortalised: as ".Rigby," is well worthy of perusal.
The following remarks apply to a numerous class :
" Of all kinds of writers none are so unwearied in their
vocation as political scribes Habituated to controversy,
they exult in disputation. They asperse where they can •
not confute; they deride where they cannot. overcome.
After a number of years they become callous even to the
most hostile criticism. Never smarting• under. defeat, to
conibat and' to conquer appear to them identical. Re-
bounding from every overthrow with untiring nerves and
audacious front, •they taunt their conqueror, and again
challenge him to the fray. They resolve never to acknow-
ledge a defeat, solong as they can employ a woman's mise-
rable privilege °flaying the last word."
- •
Mr. Croker distinguished himself by his vigorous
opposition to the Reform Bill of 1832. His speech
on the third reading was one of hiS Most effective.
He described a' foreigner walking through London
seeking the windows of Apsley House broken, a
merchant prince's house attacked, and several other
incidents. of the day, with much point and success.
On another of his attacks on reform he encountered
a formidable adversary in the present Premier :
" On one occasien during the Reform. Bill debates, Mr.
Croker had considerable success as an alarmist by the use
he made of the facts of Charles the First's reign.• He rea-
soned skilfidly upon moderation passing into violence,
peaceful innovation terminating in social 'revolution, Pyms
and Hampdens ending with Ludlows, Cromwells, &c. He
worked up his Matter well, and produced great effect, but
it was short-lived. While he was speaking, Mr. Stanley,
the Chief Secretary for Ireland, sent to the Library for
Hume's History of England, and he presented to the house
another view of the reign of Charles the First from that
drawn by Mr. Croker. Appealing to the Tory historian as
an authority, Mr. Stanley showed how Charles broke the
law and brought his ruin upon himself; some of Mr.
Croker's facts he overturned, while from others he drew
different inferenCes, and he confuted the Quarterly Re-
viewer with a dazzlinc, display of extemporaneous argu-
ment, that delighted the house by its surprising readiness.
Few speeches ever made in Parliament-were so successful
as that reply by Mr. Stanley."
Viscount Palmerston, Lord Clarendon, and Lord J.
Russell are all treated of with ability and imparti-
ality. A' lively picture of "the gay and affable
viscount," still' ecretary-at-War under five sue-
s•ssive Ministers, is introduced in the career of the
former. On Mr. Disraeli the anther gives no ori-
ginal comments, except to acknowledge his abilities
and well-earned position. There are large quota-
tions, however, from an interesting paper
on Mr. . Disraeli's career which appeared some
years since in the Press newspaper, on the publica-
tion of a "literary and political biography." It
was, it is said,• from the pen of one whose opportu-
nities enabled *him to speak with authority. He
remarks—
" If a fairy had accumulated upon the cradle of a child
every spell which would blast success in. life, it would seem
that she need only have collected the accessories of the life
of the hero_ of this literary and political biography. He
was the child of a recluse student without a friend or a
connection : he was born of a race which was then consi-
dered infamous :- he had not what are esteemed the advan-
tages of a conventional education : he, was destined to a
laborious and obscure profession. Out of this he comes
forth a Minister of State, a transcendent .orator, a writer of
unexampled grace, a varied and accomplished scholar, and
with a greater personal following than any man of the day."
The concluding portion is curious, considering the
changes that have occurred since its publication :
" If the object of the ' Literary and Political Biography,'
and the sermons.simultanously preached from its texts by
the various Puseyite organs, be to detach. the Conservative
party from Mr. Disraeli, we predict an overwhelming
failure. There are certain politicians who are, no doubt,
in a false position, and who would perhaps not be grieved
to resume one more natural to them; but they 'will not be
permitted to do so by preparing the way for the sacrifice of
Mr. Disraeli by systematic libels. He will outlive their
spite, or they will only be remembered 'in connection with
him like the heroes of ' The Dunciad.' the career of the
late Chancellor pf the Exchequer is not'closed ; we believe
its brightest portion is in the future. We have watched its
wonderful .vicissitudes with a deep interest since our college
days, when we read for the first time oOntarini Fleming'
with a glowing heart and a kindling cheek. Its author was
decried as a writer, and he is new one of the most popular,
as ho will certainly be the most enduring, author of the day :
he was coughed. down in the House of Commons in his
maiden speech, and he lived to produce oratorical effects
in tho' same assembly which have never been equalled in
our time, and which we must doubt whether the eighteenth
century ever surpassed. He has only, been driven from
power by .a coalition against him by every man of talent of
every party in the house except his own,. and that coalition
already is nauseous to the nation. We have invariably ob-
served that, whenever Disraeli has received a check, it has
only been the herald of a great advance.; and that, when
the world has believed him beaten, he as always been on
the eve of his greatest victories."
The characters of Sir James Graham and Mr. Glad-
stone are drawn with considerable skill ; that of
the latter shoWs considerable analysis of character.
He says of him
Of his dazzling talents and accomplishments the world
hits not a second opinion. His aptitude for sustained rea-
soning, his Ciceron'an flow of choice language, and the
supple adroitness with which he can wind through the
mazes of a complicated question, have often won admira-
tion. Hie gladiatorial fcats of intellect could not fail to
gratify those fond of following acute argumentation; sup..
ported by academic eloquence ; but an attentive view of his
career enables us to see how grave are the defects in a man
whose character wants stamina.
He compares him, happily, to a political. Erasmus,
who can sap one side more easily than he can
strengthen the other. Speaking or the right hon.
baronet the member for Carlisle, ha satirically
sup-
poses that, in .future years, doubts. -might be enter-
tained of his identity :
" Thus, in looking at Sir James Gralifim's extraordinary
course, we see that he has been a candidate for contradic-
tory honours. There is no faction wlifeh at timesh h

doubt_ whether there Were 40t three Of four different
J. Grahams' in Parliament,
..ieigns of George
Ding the ' •
IV., William, and Queen. Victoria. They might
plausibly conjefure that no a-nee-statesman could have

appeared in such a political monopolylogue. Sir James
Graham's votes and speeches make one think of the
Wolffian hypothesis on the Homeric Poems. Imitating
the critical reasoning followed by the German commenta-
tor, we might, with references to Hansard and contem-
porary history, affect to show that there had been two Sir
James Grahams in the age of Queen Victoria. and that
further historical discoveries would probably reveal that
there were not less than three. We conld pretend to great
nicety of discrimination between ' Sir James,' popularly
called the Cumberland Yeoman'—Sir James, the great
Conservative statesman—and a third Sir James, attacked
by the Edinburgh _Review for his vehement support of the
friends of Cardinal Wiseman. It would seem to take
three single gentlemen' to roll into one Sir J. R. G.
Graham. First, a Cumberland Yeoman,' wanting to
knock down the Funded Interest ; then a lacerator of Privy
Councillors, out-Cobbetting Cobbett in his tirades; next, a
defender of the Irish Protestant Church, in 1835, warning
the House of Commons (vide Hansard) 'that Whig prin-
ciples consisted in jealousy of Popery, as an instrument of
power,' and aftewards panegyrising the religion of Rome
in 1851, as 'the faith of Fenelon, and the creed of Sir Thos.
More, which touched as with fire from Heaven the tongue
of Pascal;' &c., an advocate for secret investigation when
he was himself charged with opening letters; then a de-
nouncer of Inquisitors,' in 1855, though he told the House
of Commons not to offend the Emperor of the French (a
privilege, it would seem, ho had reserved for himself) ;
figuring foremost in the counsels of the Carlton Club, and
noisiest of all at the orgies of the Reform Club—toadying a
British Admiral one month, and all but slandering him the
next; pouring forth jeremiads at one time—but we must
stop. Chapters would be required to recite the contradic-
tions of this vers stile and able, but most inconsistent public
man, whose changes are stampted in his constituencies,
Cockermouth, Carlisle, Cumberland, Penrhyn, Dorchester,
Ripon, and Carlisle again I"

The concluding chapter of these volumes treats of
"Reform and the Two Public Minds." After exa-
mining the political and social views of the ques-
tion, the writer observes, with some truth,—" It
has been the fault of the Conservative party not to
think sufficiently about the political mind; it has
been the error of the Liberal party not to regard
sufficiently the national and personal prejudices of
the British social mind." In discoursing upon
these rival " chiefs of parties," the author displays
considerable impartiality and absence of bitterness.
He accords to all a share of praise; and where he
censures, it is usually where the opinion of the
public has expressed the same verdict. We com-
mend his agreeable volumes to the reader who is
interested in our Parliamentary history, and trust
that the favourable reception accorded to this work
will induce the author to add the volume promised
in his preface, containing the likenesses of those
statesmen who are omitted from this gallery of
national portraits.

The Wife and the Ward, or A Life's Error.
By Lieutenant-Colonel Edward Money, author
of " Twelve Months with the Bashi-Bazouks."

Routledge.

This is an interesting story that is related in a
spirited style, and contains descriptions of Indian
life and manners that cannot fail to attract atten-
tion. The first part of the story relates 'to the
adventures-that befel some officers of a regiment
and their friends, which are amusingly imparted
to us ; but the latter portion is devoted to the fear-
ful details of the Mutiny of 1857, to which, amid
all the horrors of history, we can scarcely find a
parallel. The part of the struggle to which this
refers is the sad tale of the massacre of Cawnpore,
and, painful as the perusal undoubtedly is, there
are many who may desire to obtain a nearer insight
into the calamities that befel their countrymen.
Those who study the sad details, and contemplate
the awful position here chronicled, will not hesi-
tate in agreeing with the assertion made, that
"truly history's page presents no more dreadful
situation than theirs." The following lines con-
tain a just tribute to the memory of the departed
sufferers :

" Great admiration and sympathy have been accorded to
the surviving members of the Lucknow garrison, after the
brilliant and unparalleled feat of arms they went through ;
and none can doubt they deserved it,—nay, that their
heroism has not up to this day been sufficiently rewarded.
But let us not, in the midst of the glowing applause their
deeds, and others of a like nature, call forth,—in the midst
of our rejoicings o'er the quieting aspect of India, forget to
pay a tribute of heartfelt admiration to the heroic Cawn-
pore garrison and their leader. Let us not forget to drop
a tear in remembrance of the many heroic spirits of whom
it was composed, who, during the comparatively short
time they fought and bled, suffered much more than any
other besieged body in India. Were it only from the want of
shelter which the defenders of the Cawnpore intrenchments
ware subject to, their position was infinitely worse than that
of the Lucknow garrison, or, indeed, than any other body
of the many sore-tried sufferers at that awful time. Who
knows India, and dreads not an Indian sun ? Who, having
felt the fiery blasts of June en Hindostan's burning plains,
can fail to appreciate the dire sufferings, from this cause
alone, endured by the gallant body whose deeds we paint ?
Oh I Englishmen, side with us I Let not the nations say
heroism such as theirs passed by unhonoured in the British
isles ? The Cawnpore garrison (alas 1 they have nearly,
very nearly all gone to their last home), who fought with-
out hope, who freely bled in their country's cause, under
hardships which pen cannot depict, which tongue cannot
tell, deserve a monument at England's hands, sot up in
England's mighty capital, worthy to hand down their deeds
to posterity, and vie with Fame, who already, on a loud
trumpet, has achieved immortality for their names I"

WYLD'S GREAT GLOBE.

Mr. Wyld's last addition to the Great Globe, in
Leicester-square, will be, perhaps, the most attrac-
tive of all. The scenery of the Rhine, depicted, we
believe by a German artist, abounding at least in
touches which we have hardly ever seen, except in
tableaux from the " father land" itself, is a subject
to attract every lover of the beautiful and the
romantic. We need hardly say that the Rhine,
and its banks, furnishes both in abundance. Not
fewer than forty-four large and well-selected
tableaux exhibit to us here in dingy London, and
almost level Middlesex, the sunlit prospects and
frequently imposing mountain scenes which border
the great river. We start with the steamer, be-
tween the level shores of Holland; but, after passing
multitudes of feudal castles, perched on lofty rocks,
and quaint, and pretty towns, and cathedrals, and
bridges of boats, and beautiful scenes, we en'l
where no steamer could take us, in the lower Alps,
among the snowy mountains, where the Rhine has
its source. To attempt description were super-
fluous. The tourist will here, at his ease, refresh
his recollections of what he would surely like to re-
tain in vivid and distinct remembrance, and will be
able to describe to home friends, who behold it with
him, with fresh interest. The intending tourist,
while advised by the lecturer to look out for him-
self views and scenes unmentioned by guidebooks,
will yet learn one important lesson before he starts,
what, namely, to look for. But, above all, the
thousands who cannot afford the time, and the tens
of thousands who cannot afford the money for a
trip on the Rhine, may here have, so far as
gratification of the eyes and the imagina-
tion go, the next best thing to it, the
means of forming clear pleasing conceptions
of what more favoured eyes can behold in all its
grand, sublime, or beautiful reality.
We know not whether adequate attention has
been drawn to the instructive character of Mr.
Wyld's whole exhibition. There is in it so much
of the pleasing and the entertaining that the more
serious advantage is perhaps forgotten. We for-
get. when we leave, how much more definite ideas
we form of so much that we have seen. Our atten-
tion was called to this circumstance by the
youngest of four children whom we took with us,
one not more than nine years old, and of the most
merry and playful temper, exclaiming, while we
were talking to him of the diversion, " Yes, and I
am sure we came out much wiser than we went in
—to know so much about all these places—and
those images, too, of the people of different coun-
tries—and the Globe. I never thought England
was so little before." Of course we did not fail in
the duties of Dominic, after such a hint; but it was
a just one. We never ourselves had half so just a
conception of the proportions of continents and coun-
tries, and land and water, to each other as from
seeing the Great Globe, nor of the real form of the
great masses of land, and the mountain chains, and
the great river valleys of the earth. A map, of
course, is necessarily distorted, a convex globe al-
lows you to see but a part at a time, but a concave
globe, though it seems wrong, in truth, gives you
a more accurate conception of the properties
and relations adverted to than any other
representation. The demand on your fancy is
really very small. With regard to the splendii
views on the Rhine ; the twenty-six, almost equally
good, of China, from:Hong Kong and Canton with
its river, along the coast, to the river and city of
Pekin ; the fcrty views of Southern India, Bengal,
Oude (two of Lucknow), Upper India,icludin,
Cawnpore, and one of Delhi, till quit theg
country in the Himalayas the
view of Nagasaki
in Japan, all these speak for themselves. So also do
the Orientals in native, many of them really native
dresses, and the plans of Sebastopol, &c., by no
means antiquated yet, and other curiosities. We
certainly had not reflected, befcre taking children
with us, how much knowledge was acquired, with-
out toil, by what the eye could not but gaze on,
within Mr. Wyld's unique building ; and all for so
small a sum ! Parents, teachers, superintendents of
Sunday schools, perhaps even liberal and enlight-
esed employers of numerous young persons, would
do well not to overlook so easy a method of Lt once
amusing, and of expanding and informing their
acquainted with what, is minds. Lecturers well
be-
fore them describe everything to-the audience, and in
a peripatetic lecture on the numerous groups of
Orientals we noticed some appropriate illustrations
of Scripture usages, having certainly none of the
dryness of the notes of learned commentators. The
lecturer on the Globe itself was, appropriately, a
nephew of Dr. Livingstone ; he has of course his
uncle's great expeditions pretty plainly delineated
or an Africa of a size as is seen in no other
representation, and did not fail to give us the out-
lines of those wonderful journeys, Visitors will cer-
tainly repay themselves In giving Mr. Wyld
eacoigagement his enterprise deserve;

THIS DAY'S MA.RICETS:

CORN EXCHANGE.

The country markets held on Saturday were but mode-
rately supplied with wheat, and all kinds moved off briskly 2
at considerably enhanced rates. There was an improved
inquiry for barley, oats, beans, peas, and the quotations
were on the advance.
Throughout the Continent wheat has sold briskly, and
prices have rapidly improved. Spring corn has sold readily
at is to 2s per quarter more money. In France extensive
sales of flour have been effected for shipment to this
country. The American markets continue high for both
wheat and flour.
The arrivals of English produce up to our market last
week were rather limited. From abroad we received 12,482
qrs. of wheat, 10,356 of barley, 43,491 oats, 40 beans, 15
peas, 19 tares, 240 maize, 110 sundry seeds, and 2,337 sacks
of flour.
The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to-day,
coastwise and by land carriage, was very moderate, and
the show of samples was rather limited. The commence+
meat of hostilities in Sardinia produced considerable ex-
citement in the trade. The bulk of the supply was cleared
off at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last
of fully 10s. to 12s. per quarter, and the whole of the
supply passed into millers' hands.
Holders of foreign wheat, for the most part, demanded
very high rates, although the show of samples was good.
Prices may be called Bs. to 10s. per quarter higher than on
this day se'nnight, and some large parcels were taken on
speculation.
',Floating cargoes of wheat were held at 10s advance.
We had a good demand for both English and foreign
barley, at 2s to 3s per quarter more money.
Malt moved off steadily, and prices had an upward
tendency.
Although the show of oats was good, the oat trade was
brisk, and the quotations advanced 2s to 3s per quarter.
Beans moved off briskly, at 3s to 4s more money.
Grey peas were 3s to 4s, white ditto, 8s to 108 per quar-
ter dearer, with a brisk sale.
Flour was active. Town-made sold as high as 545, and
country marks were 45 per 2801bs dearer. American and
other qualities were higher.

To-day's market was very moderately supplied with each
kind of foreign stock, and the:general quality was by no
means first-rate.
The arrivals of beasts, fresh up from our own grazing
districts, were on the increase and their general quality
was good. Although the attendance of butchers was toler
ably numerous, the beef trade ruled very inactive, and, in
some instances, prices were a shade lower than on Monday
last. The top price for beef was 4s 8d per 81bs.
From Norfolf, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, WO
received 2,220 Scots, short horns, and crosses ; from other
parts of England, 450 of various breeds ; from Sentland2
300 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 120 oxen ana
heifers,
We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, supplied'
with most breeds of sheep, fully two thirds of which were
out of the wool. On the whole the mutton trade ruled in-
active ; nevertheless, very little change took place in prices,
compared with Monday last. The top price for Downs, in
the wool, was 5s 8d per 81bs.
There was a moderate inquiry for lambs, at last week's
currency, viz., 5s 4d to 6s 4d per 81bs. About 250 came to
hand from the Isle of Wight.
We had a fair sale for calves, at full quotations. Pigs
sold slowly, but at full prices.
