cancy occurred in the West Riding, and
Lord Morpe,h was returned without any op-
position from a single voter. Richard Cob
den, the great champion Of Free Trade, sits
in the House of Commons for the West Ri
ding at present, and Lord Morpeth is in the
House of Lords, and has assumed the titles
of his late father. Through his whole po-
litical life he has been identified with the
Liberal party, gave in his adhesion early to
Cobden's Free Trade ideas, has been since
1916 member of the Russell Ministry, and
is we'll known as an energetic friend OF all
sanitary reforms. His philanthrophy is un-
questionable, and he is very Jealous in en-
deavoring 10 better the condition of the la
boring population of Great Britain. He does
not hesitate TO deliver lectures before COM
mon Mechanics Institutes, and aids all ed
ucaional schemes, schools, sc. He is a
man of talent, and very eloquent speaker.
He can make himself acceptable 10 COM
mon men, and also TO the best educated in
the country: for his best speeches are noted
for their classical purity.
AT Il great dinner given by the Mayor OF
London, before the Great Exhibition build
ing was built, in honor of the Qhen) propo-
sed project, tho Earl of Carlise, when call
ed on for toast, gave "The Workingmen
of the United Kingdom" in connection with
the great Exhibition of the Industry
Of the Nations, and made a most elo-
ouen, speech in honor of the working
men of Great Britain. | have often heard
radicals in London who detest the arstocra-
cy, root and branch, speak enthusiastically
in his praise as an exception 10 all the rest.
He is indeed an extraordinary man. 1t is
extraordinary in Europe 10 find man born
to the highest titles, yet q simple hearted
phap aplhropist. How such man compares
with tho great mass of the selfish and proud
British aristocracy, and how vividly lis life
ard conduct prove TO US the duty of great
men, in rank, intellect, of wealth, TO also be
good men,
The personal appearance of the Earl of
Carlisle is good. When the stranger looks
upon him, down (from the Reporters Gal.
lery) in his seat in the gorgeous House of
Lords, he at once picks him out from the rest
of his peers as the noblest of ALL He has a
fine, full forehead full pleasant face, rich
lips, and a mild pair of eyes. His halr is
generally carelessly disposed, giving him
an aricss look which is captivating. His
dress is generally rich, but at the same time
plain. Ii is vulgar in England 10 dress show
ily. The passion for snowy clothes which
possesses such large proportion of our town
population, is never seen in good society
here. II would prove n man vulgar, unless
he had also consummate taste with his fond
ness for dress.
When speaking, the Earl does not use
much gesticulaion, but what he does is
graceful and natural.
Stree his return from America, in two or
three lectures, he has given 10 the world
some OF his opinions on America and
Americans, and they show his thorough lib
eralily He is far more just towards repub-
licans and republieanism Than Dickens, or
almost any Enelish visiter. He speaks fair

grsss as rather disorderly at times OF the
Southern stakeholder as man of winning
hospitality and generosity, but of Slavery as
a sad evil which has plainly written its ef-
fects upon land and people. Through the
whole of his remarks ON America, there
runs spirit of exceeding farmers, which
English travellers in America would do well
to initiate. AS a whole, the Earl of Carlisle
is man who reflects great honor upon him.
self and upon his class man who would
add reputation 10 any class 10 which he
might belong.
There is not q man in tho House of Lord:
for whom strangers enquire after with sc
much eager interest as LORD BRouGHAM-
His fame is as wide as the spread of civil
zatlon, and the foreigner, as he takes hi:
seat in the Strangers Gallery of the House
of Lords, is sure first TO ask, els Lorti

You arc disappointed though, when he is
pointed out 10 you. What! that slender,
wriggling, scrawny old man, the great
Broughman! Yea, verify. That man with
a fac on which eyes, nose, eyebrows, lips
and cheeks seem all crowded together That

once great Brougham. For we believe that
none of his best friends contend that he now

some of his enemies believe that he is par

He is the wonder of the nation; though
