eminence, commanding very picturesque ♦iews of the rich sur-
rounding country; approached by a carriage-drive through the
park-like grounds ; adorned by young and thriving plantations.
The pleasure-grounds are extensive, planted with the choicest
shrubs and ornamented by a fountain. The residence has only been

for servants; an elegant drawing-room and library; a spacious
dining-room, finished
IN OAK IN THE ELIZABETHAN STYLE.
. .

fronts. The court-yard, placed at a convenient distance, includes
stabling far seven horses, two coach-houses, harness and sleeping_
rooms, and adjoining are buildings necessary for the occupation of
the grounds around the house, and an ice-house. The kitchen
garden is extensive, inclosed by high walls, containing graperies
and hot houses. There is a residence for the gardener, forming
the lodge at the entrance from the village, a gamekeeper's cottage,
and several other cottages on the property. The estate comprises
SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTEEN ACRES OF VERY

ever flattering—as in truth it is flattering to us—would; mvec not
have been so to such an extent, had we not conceived that it
on Thursday night is of a character to deserve special notice-
Ilis personal position, also, gives him weight, as he must be
considered to represent the sentiments of -a large and highly
respectable portion of the Tory aristocracy of the country.
His Lordship, be it well remembered, was, up to a certain
point, an advocate and a supporter of the new Bill. What-
ever the opinions of such a man may be, they deserve atten-
tion because he is sincere, possessing also undoubted consi-
deration for talent and intelligence, as well as integrity. And
what was the opening subject of Lord Sandon's speech onThursday night? It was a candid avowal of the effect pro-
duced by " one powerful organ boldly representing, and
phe
constantly, vigorously, and energetically urging the evils of
the existing system of poor-laws. 'There could not,"
said his Lordship, l have been that change which
has tardily been conceded, nor would the measure
have been proposed which embodied so many of the
amendments (we wish our countrymen to attend to this)
that had been perseveringly advocated by thatjournal," had
it not, in fact, taken the pact which it did take—" had there
been no such influential organ of public opinion." It is gra-
tifying to us to know, on such authority, that we have ren-
dered services so great to our suffering countrymen—to the
sons and daughters of labour, the heirs of sorrow—through-
out this realm. Our task has certainly been a difficult one:.
\o labour of thought, no bodily toil, no expense has been
spared, to bring the question, so far as it is now carried, to
a successful issue. It boas the cause of humanity that first
separated us from the Whigs, the self-styled Reformers
there were many of their preceding acts at which we hesi-
tated and faltered; we made some sacrifice, however, to con-
fidence and a predisposition to approve. But when they
made this daring inroad upon humanity itself—when they
gave up the whole labouring population of England, by one
cruel act, as it were to misery and torment, our road was
no longer the same ; we separated from them broadly.
Our refuge, then, was the Conservative party—Sir Robert
Peel and his associates ; and, for a while at least, they
gave, us reason to suppose that our trust in them was
not ill-founded. The declarations of most of them on the

!4:

hustings, and we might say the same of their speeches in the
House of Commons, were decidedly hostile to the new poor-
law ; and those who harboured mischief in their hearts were
generally silent. Judge, then, how great was our surprise—
how deep our sorrow—when we found that the new Ministry,
the Conservative party, so far as it was headed by Sir Robert
Peel, was determined to adhere, in spite of intervening ex-
perience, to the arbitrary enactments of the Whig Bill. What,
then, had we to look to? We boldly answer—to the people
of England, and to ourselves. Lord Sandon's conduct upon
the present occasion will =entitle -hini 10 :tire gratitade er
greater body of his countrymen than he 'Maybe aware of.
We ourselves would sincerely thank him for the approbation
which he has bestowed upon this journal for the part which
it has taken on the important question under consideration.
We have done all in our power to deserve the applause of
honourable men like himself ; but applause does not always
follow good intentions. We do, therefore, again most cor-
dially thank his Lordship, and hope that his efforts will, both
in this and every other future measure, tend to his own ho-
nour and the good of his country.
