teen mike within the hour, and Friday week being ap-
pointed for the undertaking, the mare started, rode by the
owner, who weighs 12st. 41b., and completed the distance„
in 54 minutes and 50 seconds, gaining the bet by fire

PITT'S OPINION OF LORD ELDON.—It IS
said by the writer, that Mr. Pitt had a low opi-
nion of the Ex-Chancellor. " I can see nothlng

The Parliamentary sup-
port," says the writer, " of Sir J. Scott, Was a

is slow but sure.
scruple had the latter in *hewing this opinion,
that Mr. Pitt, on one occasion, when his Solici-
tor-General had wasted a couple of hours in
praise of some vital measure of the Government,
was fain to rise next in succession after the
Learned Gentleman to dd a ress the House, a
breach of etiquette, by which the Minister con-
fessed that the
labours of his immediate prede-
cessor ought to go all for nothing." It is hardly
possible to conceive two men so unlike in mina
and disposition as Mr. Pitt and Lord Eldon. Mr.
Pitt had the utmost contempt for the qualities
for which Lord Eldon was distinguished ; and
the appearance of his Lordship at a Pitt dinner,
reminds me of the supposed necessity for the
Devil's presence (or appearance by proxy) at
the canonizatio of a Saint,Life of LQr4
