SO when he came every one was eager to drink with

of the brave among them. The first gentleman in

before the carriage came the brandy had done ~

however drove round and round, and when he awoke,

From The field of drink Mr. Thsckersy turned 70
that of dice, and carried Us back to the small room
in Br.okess where Charles Fox once sat through
session of twenty two hours psy-ted how he lost At
different times two bundled thousand pounds at Play,
and how lightly he bore it, and brought .as hnsIy
down to Lord De Rooss recent sautsr 10 coup az
ploits in the Wing club. When Mr. Thsck-
cray, however stated that the days Of gambling In
England were past he INDUCED in very rosy lila

presented.
Mr.. Thsckersy then, after a sketch Of his conduct
the Catholic question, passed to the picture OF his
welded life. When his wife was first prese a.ed 10
him she tried to kpeel but, with his usual grace he
lifted her, and, turning to his attendant, said, am
sicB-get me brandy" lie then reeled into tho
very chapel and hlccuped out bis vows. But let US
pass, as Dir. Tbackeray did, in losthing from this
royal brute-a disgrace not alone to the name Of gen
tleman but Of man. Thank Heaven, there we're gen
tIemen In England at the time-men worthy Of the
pame-p noble in thought in deed, in love and duty b
their country. Such men as Colngwood, a. southey,
and a. Heber--men of the sword, the pen, and the
Bibe-of such men, and they were not few, England
may well b. proud.
But if one George, said Mr.. Thackersy in eIs-
quent pero ration, that side of the Atlansac was
disg,soe to that sge, there was another George On
this side who was lbs redsemiDg hopOr-George Wash
ireon the greatest citizen Of the Saxon He did
Lot believe that in this day England would tolerate
such king as George ". 1t was, however, forn-
nately exposed TO such tisl, for England had To-
dsy soyereigp to whose virtues she proud 70 be

We cannot agree with Mr. Thseksroys closing
opinion tina, 10y atty in England is rendered 10 an indi
vidusl az marx Of respect for personal virtues. We
have always thoughtthe loyalty ofEDglsad was given
TO the institution matter Of national duty, and was
not supposed be affected by either the vices or viz
tues of the sovereign. Certainly tho way In which
England contributes TO the support oS some members
of the royal family at the present day, who, though
free from the gaDg vices Of George w, are not re-
marksble for those virtues which Distinguish Victoria,
supports our opinion. We cannot any parcu-
lar reason because lady happens 10 be good.
