moon , called Letsm , who 1 b much accustomed to hot water . How entranced were we to behold the assembled males , like unappreciated brilliants , eorgeously apparelled , and wi&' Btare ; and the females , with jessamine necks and arms , all greatly given to the eye , looking like a collection of ravishing moons . We were presented with great dignity , by the etiquette man , to the illustrious and honourable company assembled , who , we were informed , were a choice selection of all the distinguished and honourable in the land . The Vizier Azem Lambe assured ns of their excellence—Ameer Headfort—Ameer Dunboyne—Aineer Teynham—Ameer Palmerstonand one termed Honourable Wm . Gowper , on account of his being the sou . Then sawwe Babbie
Macauley , -ffhose riches -were so great that the very mention of their abundance constipated our tongues : this great man is in treaty with the Sultana for the purchasingof the Castlo of Windsor ; and it is so near conclusion , that be freely mentions hia future abode in his despatches . Then were we presented to one of Vizier Azem Lambe ' s kindred , - Robert Owen , who manipulates missals for the Sultana ' s eyes . The female moons surpass ali in excellence—Moon Portman , Moon Tavistock the famous Moon Lestin—then Moon Charlotte Bury , who is a great jewel at court ; and other excellent persons , so many in number that we were left in so much splendeur as to have our thoughts taken from their judgment-seat . The Vizier Azem JLambe stoops
with his body , and usually walks with his bands fastened at his hack ; he speakB with lightning , and finds favour in ihe eyes of women , by reason of his simplicity ; he is of the party W ' t ! t—fia& . Vi fh& pretends to . hair of -natural growth , but is a subterfuge in reality . He came into , power .. ( Dower means power of taxing , and making divers men his commissioners , and acutely esteeming what are termed joDs ")/ with a promise to help "The Peoplb ; " but all cooks ( except Vizier Azem Lambe ) make the ontward of a dSh called " pie , " which , we are informed , is as easily broken as the Vizier ' s promises . He ig not in . the People ' s love—growing daily more voluptuous and , consequently , more neglectful of their afiairs—and an aged voluptuary , like asap-JesB tree , is a sight grieving to . the eye and heartin all the Viiier ' s deeds there is no head of prudenc is no hand of
e , therefore , ^ . there discretion to guide her . Her supreme majesty , who entered with aloud clamour of two-thousand trumpets , was apparelled as a virgin of sweetness—and for a time her beauty encompassed us . There is smallness in her feet , snch as no being hath yet discovered . Her lips are as the early , rose leaves yielding to the gentle breath of spring ; her eyes are brilliant and discourse amazingly ; her upper lip is slightly cnrled and giveth to the mind thoughts of power ; her forehead is like unto ivory ; her expression more radiant than the " brilliancy of the moon when ihe ears of corn bend lowly down in allegiance . Indeed , we were placed by her absence on the turret of suspense , but her presence was so enchanting that we became unknown even to our iuwsrd thoughts . — Prom the Unpublished Manuscript W" the Persian Princes .
Were I SouciTOB-GEXEBAiJ— "Were I Solidtor-Genersl , we shoold ' see how they would look then , " said Mr . Horatio Luckless , on arriving at Pumpcourt . He had just returned from Westminster , where he had not failed iu attendance on any day in the term ; but where , alas ! he had as yet not had an opportunity given him of addressing any of the fifteen Judges . He now wound his way up " his long dir ty staircase to the very topmost story , pulled down the little notice of his clerk , pinned to the outer door . "Return at six , " drew from his pocket Mb ponderous key , unlocked the door , and pulled it open . Here he saw his fire burning , his books and furniture all right , bat nothing , I regret to say , to remind him that during his absence any client had
appealed . He now prepared for his dinner ; Tub laundress had placed two mutton chops in a plate ready for him in his clerk's room , and these he now essayed , hv the help of his bachelor ' s oven , to cook himself . * 0 h ! " said he . fixing them hefore . '" - . the fire , " more improbable things have come to pass than that . It is true I have been called some time , and have not made much way yet , but who can say what to-morrow may bring forth ! Who knows that the Government may not take me on as Counsel in the Special Commission 1 They will want a working junior , well used to sessions practice . Well , down I go .

The case is on the point of breaking down , when , by the judicious course I pursue , I at once restore it , and every thing goes on right for a conviction . Maule tells me afterwards it could not have been done better . Well , so far , so good . I return to town , I find that one of the Cabinet had been ? re sent all the time , disguised as an attorney ' s clerk learn , accidentally , that he has mentioned me to Lord Melbourne , who , it is well known , is puzzled as to whom he shall appoint . I am sent for
—I am asked to take it . Of course , I assent . I am appointed Solicitor-General . I am introduced at once into the House of Commons , and make my maiden speech . The House is electrified—the Tories tremble prodigiously . Campbell is promoted . I am offered the Attorney-Generalship , which I of course accept . All this time I have been in full practice . I am presented to the Queen , who this time takes particular notice of me , and invites me to dinner , which of course I accept . She is charmed with my wit and information . Melbourne on this looks somewhat displeased , hnt I restore his good humour by my admirable advice to him on the conduct of his Government , and my brilliant speech in the House in its
defence . Cottenham retires—I am offered the Great Seal . I am appointed Lord Chancellor of Great Britain , and retain the entire confidence of the -Qneeo . I am , of course , created a Peer . I should like to know what Miss Jenkins , who declined to dance with me a second time last Tuesday evening , would say then . I meet with complete success in the House of Lotds . Lord Brougham and Lyhdhurst sink into insignificance . I preside over the Court of Chancery with mingled urbanity and dignity ; the arrear is soon disposed of . I reduce it to -a mere shadow .

Exertions of Nktik the Keireat fbom MdScow .- ^ At length we were out of that accursed eountry , the Koasian territory . The Cossacks no longer pursued us with the same ardour . La proportion as we advanced into the Prussian territory we found better quarters and more resources . The first place at which we were able to take breath was Wilkoviskiiand the next Gumbinnen , where I put up at the house of a physician , which I had occupied when I passed through the town before . Some excellent coffee had just been-brought in for
breakfast , when a man in a brown great coat entered ; he had a long beard , his face was blackened , and looked as if it were burnt ; his eyes were red and brilliant . tt A * length I am here , * said he .
