LORD GEORGE BENTINCK AR A POLITICIAN.—Having
once accepted the honourable but onerous task, from that
hour he devoted himself to it, body and mind. No exerj
tion, no application was considered by him too great, if
the result of it would be to render him more fit for his
task. Had the question in dispute been more of a mere
party question— had it, for instance, been such a question
as that of E mancipation, where appeals to political honour
and denunciations of ministerial treachery would hare
formed the staple of the speeches to be delivered, and
when the tactics of management would be almost confined
to mere resistance, the sudden acceptance of the leader-
ship would not have involved so much mental responsi-
bility. But in the case in question, the po'.ition of a new
leader was quite different. The combined knowledge of
the statesman and the political economist had to be
brought to bear on a question abounding in statistics of
the most varied kind, statistics varying with almost every
week; and this in the face of watchful and able opponents
on both sides of the House, as well those who had been

engaged during their public life in assailing the positions
to be taken up, as those who, having all along defended
them, now suddenly abandon them, and, knowing their.
weak points, turned that knowledge to advantage. To fill
such a post, then, was no slight undertaking fcr a man
like Lord George B,•ntinck, bred, as he says, a soldier,
who was an active politician only in what he is pleased to
call, in modesty of spirit, the " humblest race which a
political man can fill," and who for so many years bad
turned almost bis whole attention to other and less digni-
fied pursuits. His success was signal. The first speech

was, made a very deep impression on the House. His very

_as his_ own

rience what an amount of application must have been given
in order to enable him to obtain so thorough a mastery
on so difficult a subject. Lori George 13entincly, as may
be supposed, has not attained, or even approximated to,
perfection as an orator. He was too much preoccupied
with his subject to be able to stritte any new style of
oratory for himself; it was enough to be able to aeliver
his speech with an average ability. So he trusted to old,
time-honoured forms in action, intonation, and delivery—

either House, and which, like cast-off habits, have travel-
led down through different classes till they now dignify
and embellish that kind of eloquence which one hears after
dinner at the London Tavern. It is singular to notice how
the infusion of the popular and mercantile element into
the representative system has affected the oratory as well
as the opinions and votes in parliament. Until within the
last twenty years or so, gentlemen intended for public life
were regularly trained for public speaking ; a course under
the elocution master was deemed essential to an aspirant
for honours. The consequence was, that the general
characteristics of public speakers were very similar. A
tediously slow delivery, extreme pomposity. verbosity and
monotony, action in what has been termed the " pump-
handle" stele, marked them all, and may still be found in
great perfection in many whose old-fashioned oratory
defies and survives innovation. The crowning virtue of
this style in the eyes of its professors seems to be to end
every sentence intended to be emphatic with a sudden
jerk and a twang. Lord George Bentinck fell naturally
into this style when he first began his recent opposition ;
but conflict and the influence of example have altered his
style, even in this brief space of time. But even to that
which he gradually abandoned his aristocratic bearing
gave a kind of characteristic interest well adapted to the
subject matter on which his speeches were delivered.
Taken as a whole, blaring in mind the noble descent of
the speaker, his whole aspect so essentially aristocratic,
his speeches were emphatically a protest from the living
representative of a past generation of statesmen, and a
code of political morality long since abandoned, against a

new race of statesmen, untried for good, but convicted of
evil. But for some time past Lord George Bentinck has
adapted his style much more to the modern tastes of the
House of Commons. He speaks with more brevity and
more to the point, and has got rid of an unpleasant drawl-
ing tone and a habit of hesitation. Fewer statistics and
more argument characterise his politico-economicspeeches,
while his purely party or personal speeches exhibit a power
and vigour not displayed in his earlier efforts. In his per-
sonal attacks on Sir Robert Peel he allowed the warmth
and sincerity of his feelings to carry him further than has
been usual in what Mr. Disraeli called these mealy-
mouthed" days; but then it should be remembered that
lie believes Sir Robert Peel to have acted with, political

attacks, the energy and debating power they exhibited

onist. We have spoken of his elevation as be-
ing an accident of the Anti-Corn-law agitation. Certainly
but for the effect of that agitation he would have conti-
nued a silent member of the Howe of Commons. It took
much to arouse him from his indolence and tempt him.
from his retirement; but, having been.once stt in mo-
tion, we should be tempted to predict that he will hereafter
take a distinguished position in political rffairs.—Frazer.
PERUVIAN CARNIVALS.—" Lima," says the Spanish
proverb, "is a heaven to women, a purgatory to hus-
bands, and a hell to jackas,es." The latter utif,,rtuna'e
beasts being infamously used by the negroes, who;"espe-
cially the liberated ones, are the most cruel and vicious

rous an

race in Peru. In this latter category must be included
the Zambos and Chinos, balf.casts between negroes and
mulattos, and negroes and Indians. We turn a few pages
and come to the carnival; during which, judging from
the account before us, we should imagine that Lima be-
came a bell not only to ill-treated donkeys, but to man,
woman, and child. The chief sport of that festive season
consists in sprinkling people with water, concerning the
purity of which the sprinklers are by no means fastidious.
From nearly every balcony, liquids of the most various
and unsavoury description are rained down upon the
passers by ; at the street corners stand negroes, who
seze upon all who ace not of their own caste, and roll
them in the gutter, unless they prefer paying a certain
ransom, in which case they get off with a trifling baptism
of dirty water. Troops of young men force their way
into the houses of their acquaintances, and attack the
ladies. First, they sprinkle them with scented water, but
when that is expended, the pump, and even worse, is bad
recourse to, and the sport becomes brutality. The ladies.

room, become heated, and are frequently rendered dan-
gerously ill. Diseases of the lungs, and other rheumatic
complaints, are the invariable consequences of the carni-
val, to whose barbarous celebration many fall victims.
Besides this, every year murders occur out of revenge for
this brutal treatment. One favourite trick is to fill a sack
with fragments of glass and earthenware, and fasten it to
the balcony by a cord, the length of which is so calcu-
lated that, when let down, the sack hangs at about seven
feet from the ground. The sack is kept on the balcony
till somebody passes, and is then suddenly thrown out,
but, thanks to the cord, remains at a sate distance above
the heads of those below. Although it is tolerably well
known that in most streets there is at least one of these
infernal machines, yet the sudden shock and alarm are so
great, that persons have been known to fall down senseless
on the spot. Horses are thus made to shy violently, and
frequently throw their riders. The practice is each year
forbidden by the police, but the prohibition is disregarded.
