Tim LORD MAYOR'S DISAPPOINTMENT.—The
Lord Mayor, laudably desirous of ensuring the
Queen's safety during her voyage down the Thames,
on her way to Scotland, made her an offer, the other
day, through the Home Secretary, of his august pro-
tection, as Conservator of the River," which offer her
Majesty has been most graciously pleased to decline.
We are not surprised at this, for there really is not the
slightest occasion for the services of that formidable flo-
tilla, the City State barges. Are not the veteran warriors
of Tilbury Fort, ready at 'hand to protect her Ma-
jesty, in case of the Royal yacht being unexpectedly
attacked by an anonymous enemy ? Are not the
Mayor and Corporation of Gravesend loyal to the
back-bone, and would they not, in the event of
danger, turn the bathing-machines into floating-bat-
teries ; arm all the Specials ; and lay in an extra stock
of parish-beadles ? We grant that the heroic crews of
the City barges, with the Lord Mayor as Commodore,
would be of wonderful assistance to the Royal yacht—
should it by any chance come into collision with a
Thames pirate squadron, lying concealed, perhaps,
among the bull-rushes on the Essex shore ; but we do
not anticipate any such calamity; and are of opinion,
that his Lordship's offer of protection, as " Conservator
of the River," however, well meant, was perfectly
superfluous, and was, therefore, wisely declined by her
Majesty. Meantime, we feel we cannot too highly
applaud the Lord Mayor's amiable • solicitude
for the Royal safety. One mighty Poten-
tate is naturally interested in the welfare of
another ; and his Lordship well knew that if the
Queen had been escorted down the Thames by the
State barges, with his broad pennant as Commodore
flying at the stern, just two yards off his dining-
toona, `she ; Might have defied all obstruction and
danger during the fresh-water portion of 116'Aydgd'
no matter how terrific an aspect they might have as-
sumed;; for the City barges, manned by their hardy
and intrepid crew of Aldermen, would have swept the
river as triumphantly as ever Nelson swept the
Channel !

THE LATE DOCTOR. MAGINN.—We regret to learn
that this eminent scholar and consistent politician has
left his widow and children in a state of great pecu-
niary embarrassment. Under these circumstances,
we trust that the Tory party will see. the propriety of
coming forward, and making some provision for his
family, if only to testify that they are not without
feelings of common gratitude towards a man whose
pen was ever at their service, and who. exhibited more
zeal, ability, and perseverance as a partizan, than al-
most any Tory writer of the day. By his contribu-
tions to Blackwood's and Fraser's Magazines, to the
Quarterly Review, to the Standard, and several other
party periodicals, Doctor Maginn proved himself a
' tower of strength" to the Tories ; and boldly stood
by them, through evil and through good report, cheer-
ing them in the days of their despondency, when
even the most sanguine of the squad, alarmed by the
general enthusiasm for Reform, began to entertain se-
rious doubts whether they -would ever again be able to
muster a hundred votes in Parliament. For our own
part, while we repudiate Doctor Maginn's political
views, we cannot .but respect the manliness and
consistency with which he supported them. As
a literary man, he is not less deserving of ad-
miration. He was a ripe and ready scholar,
a good linguist, endowed with a vivid and pro-
lific fancy, and full to overflowing of that riotous,
mercurial,' extravagant humour, which we admire so
much in tabelais. At times, he could be sternly—
bitterly sarcastic ; no man more so ; but generally
speaking, the leading quality of his humour was bon-
hommie. A more invincibly good-natured wag than
Sir Morgan O'Doherty, never set the multitudinous
readers of Blackwood grinning from ear to ear. In
his private capacity, the Doctor was social, warm-
hearted, thoughtless, and ever ready to assist destitute
literary men, and indeed all who applied to him for
pecuniary aid. Considering the hectic, feverish life
he led—the necessary consequence of his vocation as
an author—his flow of spirits was remarkable; and it
is greatly to his credit that he has left behind him
many sincere friends, and not one enemy.
