I was afterwards returning towards King Street, when I was accosted by Lord Castlereaglu He thanked me for the energy I had displayed, but recommended a little more discretion in future; **for the mob,'' said he, "is not so dangerous as you think." This remarkable man was quietly looking on while his windows were being broken by these ruffians. I see him before me now, dressed in a blue coat buttoned up to the chin, a blue spenser, kerseymere breeches, long gaiters, shoes covered by galoshes, a...nd a white neckcloth. He was a par- ticularly handsome man, possessed great pluck and energy, and on this occasion appeared perfectly calm and unconcerned, and not in the slightest de- gree ruffled by the popular excesses and the abuse which was liberally heaped upon himself and his colleagues in the government. Then and Now. — Perhaps it is because I am growing old, and woman has less power to charm than heretofore ; but, whatever may be the reason, I cannot help thinking that, in " the merry days when I was young," or "in my hot youth, when George the Tlurd was king," the women of England were more beautiful, better bred, and more distinguished in appearance, and, above all, in manner, than they are now-a-days.
