THE CONSERVATIVE

" Qui consc

rum, qui leges juraque servat."

When you meet with a man with a full bright eye,
And the brow that tells of the purpose high ;
With the port of pride, and with gesture free,
And a frank and manly courtesy ;
Who yields to Woman and grev-hair'd eld,
The respect in which each should aye be held,
Who insult neither will brook, nor give,—
Be sure that man 's a Conservative.

If he is not afraid or ashamed to own
He believes in his Bible, and kneels to the throne

ler the well known line,

That "
If you find that he fearlessly takes his stand
With Prelate and Peer, for his native land ;
For them, or with them, to fall or live,—
Be sure that roan's a Conservative.
If he does not blench when feuds run high,
But encounters the onset steadily,
Unswayed by a smile, and unawed by a frown,
Firm for the people, as firm for the crown ;
Ready to venture, as freeman should,
Life and limb for his country's good ;
But never one jot of her ffeedom to give,--
Be sure that man 's a Conservative.

NOTICES

Sixteen years in Chili and Peru by Thomas Sutcliffe, late
governor of Juan Fernandez. Fisher, Son, :and Co., Lon-

don. pp. 503

We take great blame to ourselves that Mr. Sutcliffe's
work, entitled " Sixteen years in Chili," should have so long
remained upon our table unnoticed. We could ascribe

many causes for having thus apparently neglected it, but as

ork will be more acceptable
than excuses, we will at once proceed "to business. This
work we look upon as one of very great importance, because
it gives us an insight into the political history of Chili and
Peru during the periods of 1822 to 1839, and details with

we conjecture the notice of t

much interest, and with the nervousness of truth, the extra-
ordinary transactions that occurred during those years. In
Mr. Sutcliffe's work we see the gratitude—or rather ingrati-
tude—of a people whose cause enthusiastic and brave men
have taken up, and in it we see the ill requittal they have re-
ceived for hoisting the banner of freedom and establishing
liberty. The details respecting Lord Cochrane, and the
taking of the Esmeralda—an action that has crowned his
lordship with an undying laurel, and which at the time was
the subject of conversation throughout the civilised world,
are here narrated most circumstantially, as well as the whole
of his lordship's brilliant career in South America. The

work is the detail of scenes which the author met with when

great credit for his spirit in publishing so interesting a work,
and one which can never prove uninteresting, because it
forms a valuable link in the history of nations. Mr. Sutcliffe,
from his having been a spectator and, indeed, an actor in
many of the scenes narrated, is necessarily well qualified for
his task, and, in our opinion, right well has he performed it.
