Lord Amberley is in favour of Mr. John Stuart Mill's

election for Westminster, and ineloses a subscription to his election fund. He expresses at some length and with some pomp his gracious approval of the scheme, and no doubt the endorsement of Mr. Mill's claims by the youth in question will do more with many of the Westminster electors than all Mr. Mill's writings. Literary fame cannot even yet scale the ladder of political success without

presiding patrons like Lord Amberley. •
