His education began at home; he was then placed under the care of a Mr. Preston, at Shelford, in Cambridgeshire; and finally he entered at Trinity College, Cambridge, in 1818. His career at the University was very distinguish- ed. Jn bis firet yearhe gained the Chancellor's modal, for a poem on “ Pompeli;”’ In the second year he carried off the same prize, for a poem on “Evening,” both of which have been published; immediately afterwards he gained the second Craven Scholarship; in 1822 he took his Bachelor's degree, and though he did not compete for honors, owing to his dislike of mathematics, he was elect- Macaulay, moreover, made a great figure in the Union Debating Society, where hs spent ed a Fellow of his college. 8 good deal of his time. For the next four years after this a good deal ot his time was spent between London and Cambridge, where He took his master’s degree in 1895, and he was called to the bar at Lincoln’s Inn in 1826. But to his future prospects was the fact he had Fellowship. far more important feath a caw Sierra ‘ai ofeace to his constituents and powerfully fo ufaccce bis future career. On tho subject of the Maynooth cadowment he spoke ip fayor of the grant to the Rotman Catholics, and ventured to make allusion to “che bray of Exeter Ball,”” His constituency resented the expression, Abd vefuged to re-clect him in 1847.

Tt was orthy reparation, and we historian eat for a short tine pee in Parliament, although an at- tack of heart complaint compelled him to avoid the ex- citement of public speaking, In 1848 he was clected Lord Rector of the University of Glasgow; the followin; year Was made Professor of Ancient History in the Roy: ‘Academy of London, and in 1852 be received the Prussian Order of Merit. After a few sessions he retired from the Bouse of Commons, and only about two years ago be was raised to the peerage.

He produced two volumes of this listery ip 1848, two more made their appearance in 1856, and the publie were in expectation of further instalment, to be issued very shortly, when now they hear of the Historian's ceceake, Despite of any amount of criticism, the werk is @ very great work, and, just as Hume is read rotwitbstancirg our censures, Macauley will be read, w r Lis deviations from strict accuracy.

Rarcly, indeed, has there belbg an enterprise about which there was so much expectation raised in and out of Spain ‘as this aclfsame African expedition, on which so much money, labor and naval and military effort have been ex- pended ; and expended hitherto certainly without the least effect. Every day, or every other day, since the Spaniards have disembarked and taken up position in Africa, there has been a skirmish of outposts somewbat resembling that loose kind of fighting going on between Christinos and Carhsts come one or two-and-twenty years ago in Biscay and Alava; but these } while haragsing and wearing out the invaders, are e mere pas- time and pleasure to the Moors.

Civil and military duties, the calls of patriotism, and the sanctions of religion, all bind them to oppose the invader; and in fulfilling these obligations they at once serve their Prince and obey their Prophet. The invaders, on the other band, are not on their own soil—they are not acclimated—they know nothing of tho country, and they, as wel! as their leaders, must now feel that the Spanish army is enter the territory of a potentate who, what- ever his faults towards Spain, has done nothing 90 bad as to justify a war of ‘ssion and invasion.

A single bouse or shed, as every one who has a week in Nortbern Africa is aware, is sullicient for a cus- tom house in a country in which the only merchant is the Emperor himself. The Prince de Joinville, in 1844, with A eeusiderable number of ships, destroyed the fortifica- tions of Tangier, and subsequently attacked Mogador: but. it is well Known that little property was destroyed in either of these places, and only four hundred Moors were found in the batteries of Mogador. These French opera- tiong, with Jarge means, were, however, performed in dpgust, not in December; and, indeed, ‘by the convention of Tangier, it was provided that the French squadron should eave Mogador on the 10th of September, Tt is thus three. months later thah the French left off operations that the Spaniards are commencing, aud every one acquainted with the climate an ‘the coast is aware of how much importance it ig to choose your ecagon for campaigning in such a latitude, What supplies and, mumitions are now at Ceuta we have, of course, Ho means of knowing; but let tho Spaniah army De as well provided as it may with rations and fodder, and the means of transport, it must also be conside bow it is to be provided with water.
