TUESDAY MORFING, .211AZCaTT 21, 1854.

THE proceedings . in ithe House of. Commons, so
far from being morthyof a deliberative assembly
entrusted with =the management of the mighty
Empire of Great Britain, present bit a sorry
spectacle, reminding is zof the descriptions we
occasionally meet .of the ,Asings in the American
,Congress, or the ,dissensions of the Birienhead
-Commissioners about the ,removal of a gastbmP
To what particular:circumstance this melancholy
fall is to be attributed ,inay:be considered Ragmen
question. Is it that the:Reform Act has, as it was
predicted, opened the Senate to a class of ,plen
.whose sayings and doings ,are,a Isurlesque on legis-
lation-P Or is it that the age .in which we livA,
notwithstanding the vaunted Leh of intellect, is
experiencing a kind of intellectual.decay, the march
being retrograde instead of progressive ? But,
perhaps, the more probable solution is the fact of
the country having a Ministry without a Govern-
ment, .a patchwork of political sections having no
unity of section, no fixity of principle, commanding
no respect, and, therefore, possessing no influence.
Lord JOHN RUSSELL, who never had a principle
beyond a reckless anxiety for change, acid ii.olding
no recognised place in the Cabinet of which he is
said to be a member, assumes to be the leader of
the House of Conkmons. Such a position, however
was wont to involve responsibilities, of which he
appears to have no idea, and imply duties which he
has neither the will nor the ability to perform, if
even he possesses the comprehension of their ne-
cessity. When the late Sir ROBERT PEEL occu-
pied a similar position, he was de facto as well as
de jure the guide of legislative business, and no
measure of any importance was proposed without
his sanction or the expression of his opinion, which,
if adverse, was fatal to its success. To his treach-
ery, it is true, is owing the present disjointed state
of political parties, the destruction of all confidence
in public men, and the fact of high places being
filled by what can only be termed a Ministerial ano-
maly ; but there is also a melancholy contrast in the
mode of procedure so humiliating to those who take
pride in the dignity of the British Senate, that we
may anticipate the time will not be far distant when
a seat in the House of Commons will no longer be
esteemed an honour, but left to be scrambled for
by the greedy aspirants for place and pay, and popu-
lar demagogues—men who make promises to their
credulous hearers, in the style of JACK CAnE, or of
the Reformers of twenty years ago, who predicted
meat a penny a-pound, and bread for nothing, as the
result of their exertions ! The report of the proceed-
ings, on Tuesday last, affords a case in point,
though by no means a singular cue, After sundry

questions and answers, the majority of which lead
to nothing, but may gratify the querist by giving
his constituents an opportunity of seeing his name
in print, Mr. HEYWOOD moved for an address to
obtain a copy of a document in the possession of
the Archbishop of CANTERBURY, respecting a pro-
posed revision of the Liturgy in 1689. The object,
no doubt, is with the view to propose some alter-
ation in the Book of Common Prayer ; but,
notwithstanding the importance of such a propo-
position, the Ministers had no opinion of their
own : they merely had no opposition to make to
it, and, upon a division, it was carried by a
small majority. A dissenting member shortly
after moved to bring in a bill to substitute a
declaration for an oath in judicial proceedings,
Here, again, the HOME SECRETARY had no decisive
opinion on the subject ; he should not oppose the
motion, but thought it would be as well to wait
until another hill, on the same subject, time down
from the noose of Lords ; and, on IL .division, the
motion was carried by a majority Of one. Then
followed a discussion on a tuition for a bill to
prevent nuns from being compelled to sign away
I •
their property to the convents 'where they may be
imprisoned. Again, the HOME SECRETARY had
no opinion, but, festal' of !being in a minority, he
was not disposed to oppose the motion, though he
thought there was some force in the objection to
it, and, on a diVilion, the motion was carried.
One sitting, therefore, was occupied in idiscuAing '
three several motions, proposed by individual
members, neither 'of which, though then carried,
may have the slightest chance of ultimate success,
and yet on neither of them was any Mini4erial
fiat pronounced, Ministerial responSibility being
sheltered underihe expression of individual opinions.
Of what volts, then, is the House breommons
for the deliberate business of legislation, or of
what use 'is 'a Ministerial leader, 'When the time
which should be devoted to public holiness is thus
frittered ,toway in discussions 'Which lead to '
?nothing..? Wednesday is usually -considered a'
bye-day'lbr the discussion of the7particular cro-
chets Of-smateur legislators, who ' gratify in ''fails
manneriheir peculiar predilections ; but Thursday
'was wasted much in the -same 'Moaner as Tuesday,
in discussing a Motion for the -amendment of
'laWs, cif mortmain.. Notwithstanding the ' hrepor-
,tance of the proposed.,thange,iit failed to e.liCit; any
Ministerial decision ,apon'itslmerits, other than an
avowal from the ATTORNEY iGENERAL that he had
no objection to the qiitteduction of the measure,
:but the Government . could not pledge themselves
to adopt the data sOf the bill. Thus,' from Mon-
day to Friday the methbers of the House of Com-
TOMS might ewe liven enjoying 'themselves
elsewhere for any ,practical object acCoMplished by
their assembling, aridfyit, the CirartmE.oa of the

'hers of Goverament imeasures put ,bir to another
session, for the same nieason. There;indeed, may
le found the hefictilc complain-W.-so prevalent,
in July and Augnstr af want of'time. The Minis-
eskers allow the e6rlrpoit of the seisior to be wa.sted,
4:because they Iva/it-realer the • -rnora courage to
,oppose impaCtieabk projects,..ir -press forward
their own measures • :and this izideasion is owing
to the want elf minty :among thermitires, and their
,I*-ng destitute .(oflflcat moral' influence whichis
indispensable: Ito' :bhp success if any Government.
Gemposed of everyartase of 17o'i:tie:al feeling, ex-
cepting the true Conservative; the Ministers have
no one idea in tonna:an, and.thei&ects are visible
in the prooeadings of the 4heuse of popular
rit resentatives.

many who std ,entertain the -opinion that '
matter in dispute 4111 be settlosLiVithout a resort
to the fearful arbitremnt, of was- rat is a singnlar
and important fact, that ' the :vast Empire
Runge, occupying :iibent a seventh part of the
habitrible surface ,the globe; has am means
access '.to the ocean hut Ihrough the 'two narrowest ,
passes known to navigators—the 'Straits of the
Dardanelles from the f4.4,4auth, end, %he Sound, act
Elsinent,tfrom the north—so that thellockade by
sea is comparatively easy; and, im the lands of the.
British navy almost a vertainty. Isihe face of
such. ,difficalties, arising from geographical posi-
tion, it is tdifficult to -believe- that, the Emperor
NICHOLAS4WI be so utterlprogardless of his poli-
tical position:as longer to defy such powerful oppo-
:nents as havelnow taken the field in earned ; but
,there •is• no ,fixing limits to insanity .when the
*ictim is.a despotic ruler, thox..igh it is not :cult
-to predict the ;issue should the power- to do mis-
tibief remain much longer in his-hands. • It is said
that attempts-are now being .made 4to • mopen
negotiations,. upon the basis of linssia being placed
in tlie. same positien with regard to-treaties • sith
Turkey as she was`before the demandlor a protec-
torate was made by Prince MrNeeFILICOFF.
this would involve, among other thing, the
,excls-
sive possession of the Black Sea and Vie passage
the Dardanelles •to Rsissian ships of war; it .is not
in the slightest degre,e probable that 'Turkey, will
consent .tosueh -an arrangement after the proof she
has had •ofßussian, honour, although .consent is -to
be followed ,by the evacuation of the Danubisp
provinces.; pp would En-land and France,.after
what has airesny.transpired, countenance asch . a
settlement vfAlre.question. :The refusal, however,
is said to be made the means of dissevering from
the European ertance Austria and Prussia, hotk
of whom are believed to-be favourable to the terms.
It may suit the purposes of Russia, and no doubt
.an arrangement -while& in the -first place would !
have been readily conceded would now be as gladly
accepted. But the time has ,gone by when half-
measures can be of ay avail. Through a long
course of diplomatic intrigue, Russia has wrung
from 'Turkey concessions wtigh-the other European
powers ,have submitted to, for, the simple reason
that eaels step in aggression was not-in itself of
sufficient ;magnitude to demand more active inter-
ference. She has, however, strained the cord until
at length it has snapped, and now, when each force
has buckled Qs its armour for the fight, theremust
be no sheathing the sword until not only the last
outrage has bees avenged, but every previous step
aggression has been retraced, and security
afforded for the peace of Europe for the future, by
Russia being restrained within her natural limits.
Turkey has a long arrear of injustice for which she
now demands satisfaction s but it is an amount for
which Russia might never have been called to a
reckoning, had it not been for the reckless seizure
of Moldavia and Wallachia, which the Emperor
NlcHoLes foolishly imagined would be as tamely
submitted to as his previous inroads upon Turkish
territory. By this last act he has forfeited all the
privileges conceded to him in previous treaties, and
now that Turkey has England and France at her
back, Russia will have to render up much that she
before enjoyed ; and it may be, that before a treaty
of peace be signed, she will also be called upon to
pay the expenses incurred. A short time only now
remains, and should Russian obstinacy still hold
out against the demands which every investigation
tends to prove are dictated by justice, the thunders
of British cannon 'in the Baltic, re-echoed by simi-
lar sounds in the Black Sea, the bombardment of
Cronstadt and the siege of Sebastopol, and the
dash of Turkish cavalry, aided by the discipline of

British and French troops, will soon reduce Russia
'to the condition of a suppliant where she deemed
her voice to be all powerful. The question of
Peace or War is still in the balance, but, should
the latter be inevitable, we have no doubt on
which side victory will rest, and it is not unlikely
that in a lucid interval the Emperor NICHOLAS will
arrive at the same conclusion.

Mn. HOBSFALL, on Friday, presented a petition
to the House of Commons, from the Liverpool
Chamber of Commerce, praying that no letters of
marque or privateering commissions should be
granted 3 and that any vessel sailing. under letters
of marque against the property of this country,
unless owned and manned by natives of a country
with which we may be at war, and sailing from a
port of such nation since a declaration of war, shall
be deemed a pirate 3 and also praying that treaties
may be entered into with France, the United
States, and other countries, in order that their
co-operation may be obtained in such regulations.
The importance of this ,question can hardly be
ovet-cstimated, and, should the long-anticipated
war with Russia be at length realised, it is to be
-hoped that precautions of the kind alluded to will
be adopted. From the geographical 'position of
Ittssia, hemmed in by narrow seas, 'ear fleets will
be able to ketip the ocean clear of Russian pri-
vateers, so Mit her only re,soutz-,,e would be to
grant letters of marque to vessels belonging to
other nations with more access/Me seaports. Their
trade, hot:-ever, would be !rendered dangerous
should the nations referred 'to agree to the pro-
posed arrangement ; and, zas the United States
acted.tpon the same pririiple during the 3leiican
war off' 1846, they can !hardly refuse to coincide
with it now, when fat greater interests 'are at
stake. It has long 'been admitted, as .one 'Of Ave
t§ages of civilised 'Warfare, that All means may
be taken to injure 'and annoy the enemy, Nit an
''opportunity may ;lbw be afforded to üboligh• alrac-
lice at all times I'rnitful of evil, and ihe'lnere to
be dreaded since 'the vast increase .of ''conmerce
has covered fife 'ocean with rioldy-freigtied mer-
chant ships.

Another ..cfneaion of great .intereit, 'land which
has several 'Ames been unsuccessfUlly pressed upon
the attentithlof Ministers, is' the' poSition of neutral
vessels eontiining Russian rrodute. `fie presump-
tion is, that all trade withm -nation'iTith which we
are at Niter is contrabana, .and ,the merchandise,
howevBrfowned or shippktonsequently liable to
seizure. The recent ettentof tonr-trade with Rus-
s* phflicularly in icapeits -of 'Russian produce,
has,lwever, entitled lite stringency of the rule
to .some modification .:.ailapted'in'the peculiar cir-
cum4ances of the ease; and'Aliiitters have, there-

,it means some great.advantage in store 4r,them
at some indefinable !future. In the .eounty of
Stafford, where employment in coal and iron and
the potteries has been ahandant, the assize tells :a
Jamentable tale of fearfuLerimes committed ,under
no pressure of want, but in the wild excess ,of'
iodulgence. .These are the .results of Liberalism, ,
the precursors of infidelity and rebellion ; and yet,
with such warnings before ithem; the Radical
section of the Ministry—for we gannet believe the .
more respectable portion are willing parties to it—
have the temerity to propose a new Reform Bill,
by which the dearest interests of the empire will
be virtually handed over to the representatives of
the turn-outs of Preston and the men who swell
the criminal calendar in ftaffordshire. It is time
that those who can appreciate religion and loyalty
and virtue should pause., and seriously consider
whether some exertions should not be used to
restore not only a Conservative Ministry, but
Conservative principles in legislation.. Poor human
nature, in its best estate, requires the restraint of
wise laws ; but, it 'is a sorry prospect :for the
future, when the choice of legislators is in the
hands of those who cannot govern themselves, and
the direction of public affairs is entrusted to the
worst enemies of the State. It will not do to
repose in the ease of private life, as though cir-
cumstances will right themselves, or it will be
found, when too late for remedy, that private virtue
affords no safeguard against public profligacy.

THE EARL OF LICHFIELD died on Sunday, at his house,
Stanhope-street, May-fair, London, in the 59th year of
his age.

FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT.—About twelve o'clock,
on Friday morning, an accident occurred at the Pimbo-
lane Colliery, belonging to the Earl of Balcarres, situate
in Upholland, about four miles from Wigan, by which a
young man named James Peel, met with an immediate
death. The deceased, who was employed as a hooker-on
at the bottom of the shaft, had just taken some tubs tilled
with coal to the pit eye to hook on, and other tubs were
being wound up the shaft at the same time, when a piece
of coal about six pounds weight, fell from one of the lat-
ter after it had ascended about eightyyards, and, striking
bisn op the crown of the head, ed luul og the spot.

TILE NAPIER BANQUET, AND SOME

OF ITS CONSEQUENCES.

FEW indeed are the times at which post-prandial
oratory can be invested with even an approach to general
interest ; less frequent still the occasions on which such
saturnalia furnish matter for acrimonious, if not grave, de-
bate in the British senate. Such an event did occur lately,
at, of all places on earth, the most singular for such an
occurrence, the " Reform Club." The occasion was a ban-
quet, given inhonour of Sir CHARLES NAPIER, prior to his
departure as commander of the Baltic fleet Political hacks
of the hardest mouths, including Sir JAMES GRAHAM, Sir
W. MOLESWORTR, and other leaders of the Radical team,
formed the staple of the assembly ; yet, strange to say,
neither the miscarried Reform Bill of Lord Jona nor vote
by ballot lent their dreary lustre to the eloquence. The
gastronomic preparations, as is customary in this temple
devoted to culinary worship, were recherche ; but, as is
not always customary there, the participators in the feast
were hilarious and united. The chair was occupied by
Lord PALMERSTON, and rot a few of the assembly, in-
eluding, of course, the gallant guest, were men of mark.
The fine tact of the veteran Peet was displayed with that
usual grace and unincumbered sportiveness which he so
well knows the value of, and by the exercise of which he
reigns supreme over the bonhommie of gratified gourmands.
After a few cirelings of the generous cup, etiquette, so far
denuded of its starch, remained merely stiff enough to
ensure order to the flow, while it conveyed piquancy to
the genial thamour of the hour. In an address, in which
badinage leas yoked to panegyric, and banter tripped the
heels 'Orset encomium, his lordship proposed the health of
the gallant admiral, and recounted his past exploits in
'strains which made the hail rifig with joyous laughter,
Sri?-excited feelings of the laiiest enthusiasm. Now, as
Minister, paying a measured compliment to the heroic
adtions of the gallant officer, recounting his noble deeds,
and eulogising his courage ; while commending his pru-
dence, sympathising with his ardour, and rejoicing in his
success ;—rehearsing, es it might be said, his official
harangues in anticipdfien of his own appointment as
" Minister of War;;"--aeon as a personal friend indulging
! in telling and tolerated jokes, and all so flavoured with
the flow of geniallitnnour as to stimulate good-fellowship,
' rouse emulation, and gratify the brave and sagacious war-
rior in whose :honour the festival was celebrated. The
reply of thevallust " tar" was characteristiwof the man
and worthy'ettle occasion—short, curt, and pointed'; full
of aspirationeredolent of hope; and confident in fixed reli-
ance on the efficiency of the means placed.at his disposal.
The goo? `htitftour of the hour was quite infeetious, and
even the kirIGHT of NETRERBY, casting aside his usual
aseerbity,4eined heartily in the semi-official "-high jinks ;"
while -StteW. MOLESWORTH, dropping his eye-glass and
forgetting 'his dandyism, threw aside his Cloak of demo-
cratic !patriotism, and became a rational after-dinner
speetThifez, The meeting was, indeed, a •ronvivial one,
partiltirg as little of the portentous-or the gloomy as if
it- hidtbeen initiatory to a pleasure yachting excursion,
insteid of the prelude to a fierceeind deadly strife. Thus
eidedlhe first act of the Grahaino-Palmerstonian farce.
' Nine second act, the _scene was transferred to St. Ste-
, Oren's, and, after an interval of nearlya week, on Tuesday
• fit, the rising of the aetesettain revealed' the leading cha-
racters, no longer hilarious-ever their wine, but seated in

THE LATE MR. JUSTICE TALFOURD,

To think that those
Who in the plenitude of (manly) life
Art now before me, ere the sun decline,
Perhaps in one short hour, shall lie cold, cold,
To speak, smile, bless no more

THESE words, with a single alteration, are taken from
the "Ion" of the late Sir Taos. Nooa TALroutto. How
strangely, and how sadly, is the vision of the poet realised
in the fate of the man ! When so much has been said,
and so well and so worthily said, on this event, by those.
who knew the departed judge, it may seem almost pre-
sumptuous in a distant stranger—an humble wanderer in
the field of literature—who, though long familiar with
his form and features, only knew his mind through his
works, to add his tribute too. But he would fain essay
to do so, with what skill and grace he may.
The public reputation of the late Mr. Justice TALFOURD
was based upon his eminence as a lawyer, an orator, and a
man of letters. In each of these departments it may be
possible to point to higher names than his ; _but, in the
combination of these several functions, he attained to an
excellence which is without a parallel. Into every one of
them he took what was more excellent still—a gentleness
arid a goodness which procured for him such " honour,
love, . . . . and troops of friends," as are well evidenced
by the universal sorrow which his untimely death has
occasioned.

No got) was more happy in depleting the gracos of

human character; and this, the writer ventures to think,
was because the subject was a genial one, and the colour-
ing was that of his own heart. How true of himself is
that aphoristic sentence, in which he says of his loved
and venerated master, Dr. VA FY :-" He had no sense
of injury, but as something to be forgiven."—(Notice
prefixed to " Ion.")
The idea of his principal dramatic character is that of
"a nature essentially pure and disinterested, deriving its
strength entirely from goodness and thought, not over-
coming evil by the force of will, but escaping it by an
insensibility to its approach ; vividly conscious of existence
and its pleasures, yet willing to lay them down at the
call of duty ;" and how nearly does he seem, in IVlTyrox's
phrase, to

"Attain
strain,"Attail
To something of prophetic
In his tribute to one of his early professional friends—the
late Sir BENJAMIN MALKlN—wherein he says, in words
which have now become so touchingly applicable to him-
self :—" The other has been taken from this world in the
prime of life, and in the fulness of his powers ; leaving
with us the recollection of an intellect as masculine and
as refined—of judgment and feeling as discriminating and
just—and of social qualities as warm and equable, as have
ever passed, by the mysterious dispensation of Provi-
dence, from vigorous exercise into a memory and an
example." (Preface to lon, note p. 16.)
It may, perhaps, be thought that the intellect of the late
judge was more remarkable for its exquisite refinement,
than for robust strength. This, with the native kindli-
ness of his disposition, fitted him rather to vivify and to
illustrate the beautiful in nature, and the lovelier phases
of human tharacter, than, in his own expressive words—

"To grapple with the miseries of this time."

Yet, it was an earnest denouncement of these, that, as if
overwhelmed by the contemplation of what was so abhor-
rent to his own nature, he breathed out his last words,
and died. From the other world, his solemn sentence
comes to us in heavy malediction of those inveterate
social distinctions which he well characterised as " the
curse of English society." His were not the
"Sympathies
Which find no kindred objects in the plain
Of common life."—bn, Act 11., Scene 2.

He knew that there are a thousand circumstances which
occur daily to sadden and distress a man, wherein, not-
withstanding—
" The falling music of a gracious word,
•Or the stray sunshine of a smile, will be
Comfort enough."—lou, Act V., Scene 2.
Of these, and far more than these, he was ever a bountiful
giver, and yet how many amongst us selfishly deny them.
Such teaching as this shines out in almost every page of
his works, but nowhere does it find more graceful utter-
ance than in the reply of /on to the suggestion that it is
but little which he can do to relieve the suffering to which
he has devoted himself.—(Act 1., Scene 2.) r—
" It is little:
But, in these sharp extremities of fortune,
The blessings which the weak and poor can scatter
Have their own season. 'Tis a little thing
To give a cup of water; vet its draught
Of cool refreshment, drain'd by fever'd lips,
May give a shock of pleasure to the frame
More exquisite than when Nectarean juice
Renews the life of joys in happiest hours.
It is a little thing to speak a word
Of common comfort, which, by daily use,
Hath almost lost its sense ; yet on the ear
Of him who thought to die unmourn'd, 'twill fall
Like choicest music ; fill the glazing eye
With gentle tears; relax the knotted hand
To know the bonds of fellowship again ;
And shed on the departing soul a sense,
More precious than the benison of friends
About the honour'd death-bed of the rich,
To him who else were lonely, that another
Of the great family is near and feels."

His " Vacation Rambles," and "Memorials of Chas.
Lamb," afford the fullest evidence that the indications of
his character, to be gleaned from his more imaginative
works, were completely borne out by the actions of his
daily life. He has well said, in one of his noble orations
—" Believe me, there is no path more open to the
influence of heaven than the common path of daily duty."
(Speech at the Manchester Atheneum, 1848.) From
various instances which have already become public,
sufficient is already known .of the "timely kindness " and
"judicious counsel" with which he aided, warned, or
encouraged young aspirants to literary fame. One case
of this sort may here be alluded to. The writer of the
present article was the means of originating, some years
ago, an effort to benefit one of our poets in humble life—
a native and a resident of this county, JOHN CRITCHLEY
Pnrscs. The response of the author of lon was one of
the first in date, and the handsomest in amount, as well
as the most kindly in sympathy, which was received in
reply to the appeal then made. If this may be taken
as an example of " timely -kindness," let the following
serve as an instance-of "judicious counsel: "—(Speech at
Manchester, Oct. 23, 1845
:)
" A season has arrived in the history of mankind, when
talent, which in darker ages might justify the desire to
quit the obscure and honourable labours of common life
in quest of glittering distinction, can only be employed
with safety in adorning the sphere to which they are na-
tive; when, •of a multitude of competitors for public favour,
few only can arrest Attention ; and when, even of those
who attain a flattering and merited popularity, the larger
number must be content to regard the richest hues of
their fancy and thought but as streaks in the dawn of
that ' jocund -day, which now ' stands tiptoe on the misty
mountain's top,' and in the full light of which they will
speedily be blended. But, if it is almost too late to be
ambitions, except on some rare occasions, of the immorta-
lity which earth can bestow, yet for that true immortality
of which fames longest duration is but the most vivid
symbol—for that immortality which dawns now in the
childhood of every man as freshly as in the morning of
the world, and which breaks with as solemn a foresha-
dowing in a font of the most ordinary faculties, as in that
of the mightiest poet ; for that immortality, the cultiva-
tion of wisdom and beauty is as momentous now as ever,
although no eyes, but those which are unseen, may take
note how they flourish. In the presence of that immor-
tality, how vain appears ail undue restlessness for a little
or a great change in our outward earthly condition ! How
worse than idle are all assumptions of superior dignity in
one mode of honourable toil to another—how worthless all
differences of station,—except so far as station may enable
men to vindicate some everlasting principle, to exemplify
some arduous duty, grapple with some giant oppression,
or to achieve the blessings of those who are ready to
perish' ! How trivial, even as the pebbles and shells upon
this end and shoal of time,' seem all those immunities
which can only be spared by fortune to be swept away by
death, compared with those images and thoughts, which,
being reflected from the Eternal, not only through the
. clear medium of Holy Writ, but, though dimly, through
,all that is affecting in history, exquisite in art, suggestive
►in eloquence, profound in science, and divine in poetry,
-khan not only outlast the changes of this mortal life, but
-hall defy the chillness of the grave."
When Bnicxsxons resolved to succeed at the Bar, he
write a Farewell to the Muse, which was afterwards

pit' lished in Dodsley's Miscellany. It was thought, in
No day, that for a man to be eminent in the profession
whiali the future writer of the Commentaries had chosen,
all partiality for the "fresh fields and pastures new" of
literature must be renounced. And though, besides the
lamauted ornament of the Bench who has just been called
away, :Averal of its present occupants have wielded the
author's:pen with admirable grace and power ; and though

WARILERT, _ALISON, .TEEPEE, and Sir WALTER SCOTT, con-
fer equal Lustre upon the legal and:literary professions, the
same prejudice still exists in our own day. Even TAL-
FOURD thong .t it necessary to assert, in the preface to

his first Rork, :that he could not " charge himself with
ihaving permitted it to interfere with any professional or
private duty ;" and for a motto to his noble classic dramas,
he took part of like apologetic couplet in Pope's .EpiAlle
,to .46,-buthnot—
." I left no calling for this idle trade,
No duty broke."
It is probable that, he designed—(if, indeed, be has not
placed it 0n record in his works, like the present Loan
CHIRP JuTIcE of the
,Court of Queen's Bench, and his
own .predecsasor in the
.C.,cmmon Pleas, Sir WILLIAM
BLLOICSXOICR)—to return again in later life to the delights
of literary pursuits. This,• however, has been denied
hint. Ile had done enough : ;enough, at least, to call forth
and illigtify that common note of mourning which has
risen from all classes of his countrymen on the announce-
ment of ltis death. And yet, in such o death, for such a
man, them is surely something not merely appropriate,
but august and sublime. The Judge; in his robes—the
Dramatist, in living action—the philanthropist in earnest
pleading against the social vice and wrong which intensi-
fies, if it does not produce, so much of crime and misery—

thus he was struck down : his work done—his mission ac-
complished—his dying words a solemn bequest of warning
to us all. The affecting tribute of Mr. Justice COLERIDGE,
it cannot be tedious to repeat :—" He was sitting, as I
am, administering justice ; people were trembling at the
thought of having to come before him, but, in a minute,
his function was over, and he was gone to his own ac-
count He had one ruling purpose of his
life—the doing good to his fellow-creatures in his genera-
tion. He was eminently cautious and kind, generous,i.
simple-hearted, of great modesty, of the strictest honour,
and of spotless integrity." These words will sound a
noble requiem above his grave—a sanction to the wide-
spread sorrow, and the natural pride of his contempora-
ries ; and a consolation to those to whom the loss is near-
est. His character will long survive him, and his works
are his enduring monument.
" There stand they—fortresses upreared by man,
Whose earthly frame is mortal ; symbols high
Of power unchanging,—thought that cannot die;
Proofs that our nature is not of a span
But of immortal essence, and allied
To life and joy, and love, naval-100ns.
