THE WHIGS AND THE NEW POOR LAW.—I well re-
member how 1 was laughed at, when, some six or seven years
ago, I forewarned the whigs " that the New Poor Law
would be their ruin." They have, since then, been driven
from office by a majority of ONE. That vote was Walter's,
who was returned for Nottingham, because of his steady and
unflinching opposition to the new poor law. On that point,
there can be "no mistake." And as surely as the whigs
were driven from office by the power of the Anti-New Poor
Law principle, so will the Dictator himself, strong as he
fancies that he is, so will he fall, being overcome by the
same power. May the time never arrive when any man or
any party shall be able to triumph over the British consti-
t ;-on.—Fleet papers.

PORTRAIT OF FE A RGOS O'CONNOR, BY ONE WHO
SNOWS HlM.—The designing demagogue will soon make
himself apparent. He generally talks loudly about himself.
He is his own trumpeter ; a chronicler of his own patriotism.
Before the crowd he plays the sycophant; flatters their pre-
judices—and, with a mouthful of vague generalities, endea-
vours to win their cheers. He praises men, in the hope that
they may be pliable enough to worship at his shrine, and
when he finds they are not made of blending material, he
whispers against them, or he openly assails them. He lies
without remorse. He would sacrifice father or uncle to
assist his purpose. Like the glass man, he strives to
make the people believe that everybody is about to tumble
up against him and break him. He is an inventor of plots
against his own sacred authorit
"y ; a sort of Louis Philippe,
who gets up " assassinations in order to invest himself
with the air of a martyr. A man who talks at random ; a
seer, or political prophet, Who discovers things that never
happen. One who takes credit before the public for deeds
of liberality, and wonders " why othersdo not clothe same,"
and in private violates his word and honour to the parties
the world believes him to have served. A maker of pro-
mises by wholesale. A fellow big with importance, a fair
and palpable mixture of knavery and folly.—Vide Henry
Vincent's Speech on the late Chartist Conference.
THE BARINGS.—The present partners of the house of
Baring Brothers, are Thomas Baring, the youngest son of
Lord Ashburton ; Francis Baring (the Chancellor of the
Exchequer) ; Captain Mildmay, a baronet of small fortune,
Lord Ashburton's son-in-law; and Joshua Bates, a Yankee,
from Boston, whose beginning was as super-cargo of a mer-
chant vessel. The first of the Barings that came into notice
was the father of the present Alexander Baring, now Lord
Ashburton. He was the son of a German toy.shop-keeper,
in Exeter, in England. The foundation of Baring's fortune,
was made as contractor to the British government in their
vain attempt to hold America in chains, and which tacked
two hundred millions to the national debt in England. The
Barings managed to keep on terms with both belligerents.
The present lord was then the traveller of the house, and
became acquainted %vith Mr. William Bingham, who was an
