THE RICHEST MAN IN ENGLAND.

lie is the Marquis of Westminster. His wealth
is estimated at &2l 100000 sterling or Sl05,-
100000, and hls annual income at $70O,O0N-
How he became So immensely rich is explained
by Shelton Mackenzie, The well informed litera-
ry editor of the Philadelphia Press:
Some people may desire to know how the
Marquis OF Westminster comes to possess this
immense property, equal to the fabulous wealth
of the Count de Monte Christie. More than
half of it has accrued within the last fifty years.
The Marquisate of Westminster is a modern
creation, dating no farther back than the time
of the reform bill, when Earl Gray rewarded
many of his political supporters with new peer
ages and with advancemenis in degree.
Thus the Earl of Grosvenor was changed in
to 1.-The most noble the Marquis of Westminster"
and originally inherited, with bis fathers earl
dom, the estatcs-at that time chiefly consisting
of land in Cheshire and Dorsetshire. But he
also was owner of a large tract OF land in West
Minister stretching from the houses of parl:a-
ment to Chelsea-land whi n originally belong
ed to the crown, and was sold to the Grosvenor
flmily for a trihe. BY degrees, as London in
creased, particularly spreading to the west, as
most great cities do, this land swampy as it was,
came into request for building purposes. George
the Fourth, ashamed of such residence as st.
James's Palace, (Which originally was an hospi-
tai, and looks like one to this day,) and tired of
Carlton House, obtained authorization from par
Lament to build another palace on the site of
Buckingham House, in Pinlico, formerly the
property of his mother, Queen Charlotte. In
the centre of a swamp, and only few feet above
the level of the Thames, from which it is not far
distant, this was perhaps, the very worst site for
dwelling in London.
But upon it aros the presert Buckingham
Palace, the town residence of Queen Victoria

WINTER.
And art thou coming, Winter!
In thy wild and stormy might
To cast DER earths lovely thugs
Thy pale and withering blight,
Ay, here he DER the drcary world:
! feel his breath-ah me how cold
lie wears the same Wild haegard brow,
Which he when in his prime
And he siugeth the shtill, vai ing song
Which he sang in the olden time;
The same hoArse DER the field and dell
An ali old winter. know thee we'll.
Thou art coming. icy Winter
To tell the same sad tale.
or bright things passing from the earth,
With lgh and moan and vail
offair flowers fading one by one,
As sable banners cloud the sun;
chant from the polar choir p,as OUT
Wildly and fullofwo
As march thy fierce cscadrons forth
From their battlements of snow
requiem It's DER pale summer s. form
Or the deep war-cry of the gathering storm
Thy cohorts with their night-blaok plumes
Shut out the bright blue sky
All nature the fast decay
or Summers blazonry;
Now murmuring low, shrieking wild,
She DER her dying child.
The lips Of the pratt ing brook sealed,
Aud the singing birds have flown
Away away, to some bright land
To thee and thine unknown
And III his pride grows pale,
And trembes at his fierce assail
Thy trumpet rings through the mountain pass,
With ftful, wild hallco;
And the hail stones drum on the hollow trees,
with mournful rat-tat-too
oh spare in thy fearful marches, spare
The fruitful field and the gay partcrre!
But the fierce battalions dling on,
Nor heed nor hear my cry
And dirge for the fair aud nowcry field
swcs through the darkcned sky:
And showers oficy javens fall,
The only answer to mS call.
But oh flag truce hangs out
In spotless folds high
And the snow-iiakcs wheel in light-patoons
Through the dark and troubled sky;
And now like the ghosts Of murdered flowers,
They seek the earth In countless showers;
They fall on the mountains giddy height,
In the dark ravine they fall,
And er the distant city's domcs
They spread their radiant pail:
That beauteous snow like winding sheet,
Is spread forest and field and street.
On the storicd monument it falls,
Blots out the studied verse,
And covers all the high and low
With one unscupturcd heare,
Methinks 1t lies more lightly
The grave Of the broken hearted one,
The folds Of psynim turbn now
The village spire doth hide
And see ! 1t dresses the old yew tree
As gay as bony bride
With an ermine cloak 1t wraps the plain.
And shuts the blast from the growing grain.
Come on come on old Winter
Spring wears winning smile,
And summer has a lulling art
To charm and to beguile,
And Autumn is in beauty dressed
But thy rough form love the hest
They teest me =" oflong ago,
OF childhoods spotless day;
0ftoyhoods freaks by the old lre-siLe--
OF friends now passed away;
Albeit to me thy accents dear
Tell that liie's winter draweth near!
