Tug NEW POSTMASTER - GENERAL. — With all the faults of the Duke of
Richmond, whom have you got in his stead ?—The Marquis of Cunyngham. " The who?" I hear you say : you never heard of him—nor anybody else out of the drawing-rooms of London. With a vast flourish of trumpets went the recruiting party to augment their awkward squad ; they beat up and down Rotten Row, deployed iuto Alinack's, and succeeded at last in enlisting the 31arquis of Conyngliam ! Lord Conynghain may falsify our predictions; be may prove himself an admirable statesman ; but there was no reason to suppose it. The new Wilhelm Meister has served no apprenticeship. Unless the Govern- ment had been unwholesomely aristocratic, he could not have been set down to a game in which a Tyro is to play the stakes of the People.—Froon the third edition of England and the Enylish.
