SOMETHING QCTEER.-Eery age le4s its panics. At
one time the Turk, then the Emperor. then the Pope,
then despotism, then the Radicals, have occupied the
attention of all who had something to lose and leisure to •
be alarmed. A few years back the cry was, that every; .
article of food was adult-rated ; and nobody could be
Bare it was bread he was eating, unless he had sown,
reaped, thrashed, ground, sifted, kneaded, baked: and
sliced the material with his own hands, or, as a second-
best course, by the hands of a confidential servant inte..
rested in his preserva•ion. Toe cholera frightened us all
once; comets now and then ; the new tur.ff spread consi-
derable consternation in some quarters ; mad dogs are
always and everywhere terrible; tire slow westward pro-
gress• of white ants, and the occasional visit of a real ori-
ental locust, have in ther turn considerably affected This
more cautious and provident part of mankind. But what
I do cur readers suppose is the last new bugbear? A very
terrible one, to judge from the un versa! horror it has
excited. All parties, ar d almost all classes, both sexes
and all ages, agree in the most dreadful apprehension(.
The most alarming circums,ance of the new enemy ia,
1 that it bas been amongq us from time immemorial, and
is impossible to be quite eradicated. The baneful cha-
racter of its operations lit s only jest now been discovered.
Reader—prepare your mr.-s. The new enemy of man- ,
kind is Charity.—London limes.
LOAD ELDON'S POLI TICAL SUPREMACY.—This was,
in some respects. yet more remarkable than his supremacy
bn the law. The prizes of political life have in general
een won by some or other of the arts or forces of Par-
liamentary warfare, particularly as waged in the House of ,
Commons—by nervous declamation, by argumentative
vehemence, by formidable sarcasm, by captivating style.
Of none of these wts Lord Eldon a master; vet all, and
more than all, the influence usually earned by them for
their possessors, became his without th it aid, and even -
without his own original purpose. For his early plans of
life were wholly professional. He entered Parliament
unpledged to any political party; and when he decided to
join •Mr. Pitt, and even when be successively
.undertook
the offices of Attetney and Solicitor-General, it was with
a view to no ultimate distinctions but those of the law.
The unusual responsibilities which, by the events then pass..
trig in Europe, were cast upon the law officers of his
time, obliged him indeed :to address himself to divers
matters of state ; but, on arriving at the Chief Justice.
ship of the Common Pleas, he' gladly quitted the sphere
of politics, and only r-turned to it 'When call,.d by George
111 to enter the Cabinet as Chancellor, under circum-
stances of somewhat peculiar and personal relation to the
King. From that time, of course, he was mixed in the
chief affairs of Government; and he then made it early
evident, that if he wanted some of the popular talents by
which political distinction is commonly attained, he was
stronger in all the higher qualities by which it is best pre-
served. These qualities—prudence, knowledge, temper,
consistency, firmness, and, above all, judgment—made
ample compensation, for his deficiency in imagination and
'in the forces and graces of style. Perhaps it is hardly a
tpdradox to say, that in the stations be was eventually
?sailed to fulfil, his wont of imagination was one of his .
advantages; for the „'judgmenif, the highest of ttre inter-
lsctual powers and in public affairs wort() all the rest, wars
