The whims of one greatly eccentric genius not unnatu-

furbishing up his historical lore for the benefit of the
" Working classes," and has been treating these, his

dearly beloved, to some of the results. At the Bedford
Literary and Scientific Society's Soiree, he indulged in a
philosophical survey of his friend T. B.M.LcArLAN's stoical
New Zealander, whom that eloquent, if not painstaking
chronicler, introduced as taking a contemplative view of
the ruins of St. Paul's, from one of the broken arches of
London Bridge. The survey is not satisfactory to the
cabinet philosopher, and he will not recognise the picture
as legitimate. "It is a very disagreeable subject," says
his Lordship, " and I want to know what necessity there
was for making such a prophecy ?" According to Lord
Jorts, the picture is not only disagreeable and uncalled-
for, but absolutely untrue. He knows that a deservedly
popular national song avers " Britons never shall be
slaves," and, therefore, he cannot see how the arches of
London Bridge should break, or why St. Paul's should go
to ruin. Moreover, being a patron and a disseminator of
" cheap knowledge," he has no faith in a New Zealander
ever becoming a philosopher. Furthermore, his Lordship
assured the erudite Bedfordians, who applauded him to
the echo, that Great Britain contains none of the elements
of dissolution in her people or her institutions; and is not
be a Cabinet Minister, a changeling leader in the camp of
Whigs, and above all the historian of CnauLEs JAMES
Fox, and, with all such means of judging, who shall dare
dispute his dictum ? True, imperial Rome has fallen from
her place of empire ; but she never could, even in her
palmiest days, boast of such a Ciscrse.Tus as has, in the
person of his Lordship, forsaken the British plough to
direct the vessel of state. Greece and Egypt survive only
in the records of their intellectual greatness, but could
either of these claim the honour of so distinguished a son as
the biographer of TO3l MooRE, or the expositor of SHERI-
DAN'S mistakes ? The kingdom of Assyria has indeed been
blotted out from among the nations,but SENNACHERIE had

would have sighed in vain for a Prime Minister who
would, or who could, have indicted for him such an epistle
as the famous Durham Letter. No, no ! Mr. MACAULAY,
no more of your disagreeable portraits of contemplative
New Zealanders, or, if you will have him seateda mong broken
arches and ruined Christian temples, convey him to some
other locality than so close a proximity to Russell-square.
So unpleasant a subject is withdrawn from the list of open
questions, and cannot now be entertained. While his

hand was in, Lord JOHN has also tumbled DAVID HUME
into his historio-critical balance ; and he, too, has likewise

been found wanting. At the Bristol Athenaeum, his lord-
ship informed his delighted auditory, that Humu made it
"his sport to destroy all belief and all faith," and was not
a man "to feel sympathy for those religious struggles in

which the people of this country have been engaged."
Here again spoke the author of the " Durham Letter."

Starring in the provinces, during the London recess,
seems to be a two-handed ministerial game; at least, two
ministers, of prominent character, have been indulging in
the practice. Lord PALMERSTON has likewise been put-
ting his hand to the didactic oar; his last appearance
having been at Romsey. As if afraid of poaching on the
" manor preserved" by his right honourable colleague, the
member for the city of London, Lord PALMERSTON has
