By THE AUTHOR oF “VIVIAN GREY”

““Thearthat........ is again in the field; I hardly know whether we ought to wish him success. ‘WHAT IS HE?’ ”—Hztract from a Letter of an Eminent Personage.

Tue Tories have announced that they could not carry on the Government of this country with the present State machinery; every day the nation is more sensible that the Whigs cannot. A third party has arisen who propose certain additions and alterations in this State machinery, by the aid of which, they believe, the Government of the country might be conducted.
