Tua DEATII OF LORD CHATHAM.—Chatham, at the
time of his decease, bad not, in both Houses of Parlia-
ment, ten personal-adherents. Half the public men of the
age had been estranged from him by his errors, and the
other half by the exertions which he had made to repair
his errors. His last speech had been an attack at once on
the policy pursued by the Government, and on the policy
recommended by the Opposition. But death at once re-
stored him to his old place in the affection of his country.
Who could bear unmoved of the fall of that which had
been so great, aid which had stood so long? The cir-
cumstances, too, seemed rather to belong to the tragic
stage than to real life. A great statesman, full of years
and honours, led fonh to the senate-house by a son of
rare hopes, and stricken down in full council while strain-
ing his feeble voice to rouse the drooping spirit of his
country, could not but be remembered with peculiar vene-
ration and tenderness. Detraction we,. overawed. The
voice even of just and temperate censure was mute. No-
thing was remembered but the lofty genius, the unsullied
probity, the undisputed services, of him who was no
more. For once, all parties were agreed. A public fune-
net, a public monument, were eagerly voted. The debts
of the deceased were paid. A provision was made for big
family. The ci yof London reqnested tbat the remains
of the great man whom she had so long loved and ho-
noured might rest under the dome of her magnificent Ca-
thedral. But the petition came too late. Everythieg was
already prepared for the interment in Westminster Abbey.
Though men of all parties had concurred in decreeing
posthumous honours to Chatham, his corpse was attended
to the grave almost exclusively by opponents of the ere-
vernment. The banner of the lordship of Chatham was
borne by Colonel Barre, attended by the Duke of Rich-
mond and Lord Rockingham. Burke, Savile, and Dun-
ning upheld the tall. Lord Camden was conspicuous in
the procession. The chief mourner was young William
Pitt. After the lapse of more than 27 years, in a season
as dark and perilous, his own shattered frame and broken
heart were laid, with the same pomp, in the same conse-
crated mould. Chatham sleeps near the northern door of
the church, in a tput which has ever since been appro-
priated to statesmen, as the other end of the same tran-
sept has long been to poets. Mansfield rests there, and
the second William Pitt, and Fox, and Grart n, and Can-
ning, and Wilberforce. In no other cemetery do so many
greet citizens lie within so narrow a space. High aver
those venerable graves towers the stately monument of
Chatham, and from above,
his own effigy, graven by a
cunning hand, seems .till, ; I face arid nuts retched
arm, to bid England to be of good cheer, and to hurl de-
fiance at her foes. The generation a high reared that me-
the rash and indiscritnieete judgments which his coulees-
modal of him has disappeared. The time has come when
porories passed on his character may he calmly revised by
history. And hivory, while, for the warming of vehement,
high, and daring natures, she notes his many error., will
yet deliberately proneutice, that, anion the eminent men
whose bones lie neer his, scarcely one has left a more
tainless, and noun a mere splendid, name.—Edieberph
Review.
