A Cruel Stcetch of the Secretary of State for the Colonies. Now the Earl of Derby has become " chief" at the Colonial Office, and you aro very likely to see him shortly in New Zea land (though only at Wellington, and then iv all probability but for a few hours), the following sketch of bis strange career, penned by the late Mr E. C. Grenville- Murray, willdoubtL'ss ba read with interest. Mr Wrenville-Murray (it may be inferred) did uot admire the Stanleys, but still 1 fancy the portrait of the present peer ia not altogether unjust. " The head of the house of Stanley," begins this sKetch, " was a surly, ill-conditioned lad, with a furtive look, who early made his mark In society by a method unusual. The mode he selecterl for distinguishing himself was that of levying benevolences; and it became absolutely necessary to Bp ed him from the most lord-loviog > school iv the world. The head-master waited oa his father (who damned him heartily for his impudence), and humbly protested that there waa no help for it. He even shed tears, so great was bis reverence for the Peerage. But the thing had got wind. Derby (who was then Lord Stanley) had beeii too generous witn his schoolfellows' pocket-money, and the total amount of iu voluntary contributions he bad drawn from them exceeded a hundredpounds. The tbing had, therefore, gone too far to be hushed up ; but it is un interesting example of our national lord-worship, that many of the hopeful young gentlemen (as they love to ba called), knew mat Stanley put communistic theories into practice, ' but let him go on , because they were in the same set, and it seemed as if they knew him at home.' Even these little Britons were prepared to pay for a lord's acquaintance; and the head master, who Was hold responsible for Stanley's abrupt departure, received threatening and furiou3 letters from all parts oE the country. Several of them were shown to this writer; and certainly their language was strong. One correspondent, dating from Cumberland, compared him to Richard III.; another, probably a lady from the handwriting, called him an ogre, which Bhe Epelt pos sibly by a lapsus calami 'oger,' However, it does not hurt anybody to be called names, and it does hurc a company of boya to have a 'squire of the night's body' among them, so the head'tnaater's decision took eilect. Of course, another high-clas3 school was ready to receive the youthful misdemeanant, for his father had a great deal of church and miscellaneous patron age The boy, also, had good abilities of a certain sort, and being of a shy, surly disposition, spent most of his time with books. Aa his father, however, was a Chancellor of the Oxford University, it was not thought prudent to enter him there, and he was sent to New College, where, being aided by the natural deference to rank, which is so praiseworthy a ekaruc teristic ot our college dons, he took a first-class in classics. It was not considered expedient to bring forward Lord Stanley very early. A strange ill-luck seamed to haunt him, The Duchess of——— lost a bracelet aft9r dining in his company. Lady , who had a tonguv, lost her jewel case while stayingatthe ancestral seat of the Stanleys.aud had to be comforted with hard cash. Ac lust there was a burglary in his own father's house, and a then famous detective was summoned, upon which Lord ■vtanley started oa his travels. He went to America, where an odd adventure befell him, Meeting one day a west country man, who waa vary cmious, tha following convocation took place between them : — &i\wnca\i( loquitur): "How do you get your' living now? You don't look up to much, you don't, thar now." Lord Stanley, with some hauteur: " I havu an allowance from my father, the Earl of Derby." American: " And who's he T" Lord 8,, with still more hauteur : "An English Peer." American, with a keen look: "Ah, but suppose he was to bast up, what would you do then ?' Happ.ly for Great Britain's glory, our sublime customs of primogeniture and en tail prevent any danger of a noble cail bursting up, and to this hour the necessity of personally earning a sixpence has never presented itself to Lord Stanley. If it did, tic would probably reply that he had no need to earn it. At; twenty-five he came homo attended by a lady of the French nation and several small children. Had he becnplain Mr Smith he would not, probably, have been admitted as a guest into any decor iius English, still less so into any decorous Scotch, home. Let us now consider what was done for him because he had a handle to his name, and was heir to a peerage, Before his return to England he had been elected a member of Parliament being then tweaty-two years olcl. Hia constituents could know nothing about him, save that he was an Earl's son, and held eccentric >piuions on the law of personal property. My lord treated them as they deseived. At tor-a maiden speech on molasses (demon strated to be the question of the age), he set off for the £ast to amuse himself in his own way. To induce him once moie to bless England with his presence, he was appointed to a higti office on the steps of the Cabinet, with a salary of £1,500 a year, About a couple of months after he had been gazetted, he condescended to appear ia Downing-stree*. Father and son we oat this time dividing £6,500 a year of public money between them. Tba figures afterwards rose to £10,000, for the British public showed a touching fidelity to tho housa of Stanley. Month after month society smiled or shrnggod its shoulders at some new es capade of Stanley's, and each escapade was followed by the grant of a new dignity to the hero of the sorriest anecdotes which ever illustrated the history of the peerage. Honours were heaped over hu dishonours— if, happily they might only hide them Our oligarchy had chonen its part. He was one of them, and should be not only protected but glorified. Half measures in his case were impossible; and reconrae was un flinchingly had to heroic measures. He was proclaimed to be a man of genius. All of a sudden the newspapers began to ting his praises with a suspicious alacrity ; but Britons read and believed. They applauded when the greatest statesman of the time asked Stanley (then at the ripe Age of twenty-nine) to be his colleague at a moment big with the fate ot the country ; and thenceforth nothing was considered too good for a man who had never shown spirit or forethought, eloquence or wit. He was set over all the pro-consulates of the Em pire; he was pitted against Bismarck and Gartschakoff; he was made trustee of national treasures, and member of com missions on every subject under the sud. He has meddled with, the organisations oi our army and our universities, with our sanitary regulations and our mercantile law. To say that lie has muddled would be but expressing half the truth. Lord Derby spends no cod of time with Blue books, but his mind is of an incurably indolent turn, When ho meets a difficulty hu pas.'es It over, and can alwajs find twenty reasons for doing nothing, His pariy was long In opposition; and, as bis duties then consisted in finding f<>uK with the acts of others, which is always easy work, his incapacity long- escaped observation. At length he was placed in a po i'ion of real responsibility and power, and broke down completely. England was well-uigb involved in his fall. His own kinsman upbraided him in Parliament with his cowardice, and, in a studied Insult, com pared him to the infamous Titus Oatcs, the least veracious character of whom English, annals make mention. Net only has he proved himself an inefficient minister ; his coniiuc'. in office has suggested doubts aa to whether his r> asomug faculties were in proper working order. When publicly culled to accour.it tefore our judges on charges affecting his personal probity, he set complaint at deflates by demurring on the ground of privilege to the jurisdiction of our Jaw courts. Nay, more, when the Queen's Majesty peraoually interceded with him in favour of a public servant whom he has notoriously wronged wh'le in otfico, he turned the prerogative of the Sovereign iuto mockery. Aud yet he does well to be cynic ally contomptnous of the dictates of justice and loyalty. The Judges take his part. The Sovereign is compelled to offer him the Garter, that my lord may h.ive the satisfac tion of refusing it. Such baubles may suit a Wellington or a Palmerston; Stanley v above them. He never mingles iv the sports or pastimes of men of bis own rank, Ho docs not hunt or sboot. Jbe was never a cricketer, and he runs away from the society of women. It was noticed when he last held the seals of office that he reigned his place as soon as tho work thrown upon him put his saoity thoroughly to the test. So long as he could dawdle over unim portant business, leaving the rest to his underlings, power had cbarnis—ineffable charms—for him ; hut the instant he got into difficulties, which obligtd him to think and set, he caught fright ana belted from the Ministry. It has been estima'ed that tho income cf Lord Derby from land alone is £600,000 a year. He is said to j spend over £10,000 annually ia advertising j himself, and ia therefore frequently desig nated as the coming Premier. But he is astute enough in his madness to keep aloof i from the piemietiihip ao long as there is any
