Lord Beaconsfield and Literary Men.
Mr. Edward Misll, Jate M.P. for Bradford, the founder and editor of the "Nonconformist newspaper, and for many years well-known in connexion with. the disestablishment movement, died at his residence, Sevenoaks, on Friday night last, after a fortnight's illness, almost entirely free from suffering. He passed away in a state of sleep without a struggle, within a few days of completing his 72nd year.

For his services and co-operation in this work, Mr. Miall received the hearty thanks of the Duke of Newcastle. During his exclusion from Parliament, Mr. Miall took a fore. most part in the out door movement in favour of the abolition of church- rates, the abrogation of University tests, the throwing opeu. of parish church- yards,&o., and he lived to see all of what were called "Dissenting grievan- ces removed. At the general election in 1968 Mr. Miall stood for Bradford, in conjunction with Mr. Forster, but was defeated by Mr. Ripley. On that gentleman being unseated on petition next year, Mr. Miall was elected by a Targe mojority. He sat for Bradford till 1874, when growing infirmities obliged him to retire from Parliament- ary and public life. Twice before he disappeared from Parliament, Mr. Miall moved a resolution, in favour of the disestablishment of the English Church. On the second occasion the motion was firmly opposed by Mr. Gladstone, whic advised him first to convince a majority of the constituencies During his pub lic career, Mr. Miall twice received from his many friends substantial marks of their appreciation of his sor- vices as a public man. On the first occasion, at the Freemasons' Hall, about the year 1803, he was presented with 5,000 guineas; and on the second, at the Crystal Palace, in 1870, when about to retire from public life, the sum of 10,000 gutheas was put in trust on behalf of himselfand family.

Yet, if for such reasons literature would hardly expect to find in these social dramas very genial or dignified repre- sentatives, there is no reason why they should be made ridiculous and offensive. The caricature hero exhibited with a monotonous repetition of words and actiods only worthy of the circus, and with no relation to the incidents or purpose of the story, in licate other a malignant personal object, or a general satire on the susceptibilities of the liter- ary character. The critics have gen- orally assumed the former; and if it is intended to be a representation of the author of "Vanity Fair," the ex- ecution is at once false and feable. Mr. Thickeray was a member of a fainily, that had contributed important men to every walk of life, and possessed an adequate patrimony for any profession. He spent most of his fortune impra dently in youth, and then had a harder. fight in life than was agroable to his luxurious tastes anfl not active habits. He was of too kindly à autore for the differences of wealth, and position with which he came in contact to engender malice or even onry, but he let his sense of it be felt in humorous com parisons and exaggerated distinctions, and at times, when the great gloom of his existence full too heavy on him, ho. did not entirely conquer a morbid dig: content at the happier fates and circam- stances of those he justly thought no bettor por, wiser than bimself.
