 EMINENT MIEN.
 No. 1.-LoRD PALMERSTON.
 THR subject of this memoir was born of
 poor but respectable parents in the neigh-
 bourhood of Y- (a place well known
 to novensts of all ages). One day, while
 wandering upon the banks of the X--,his
 attention was attracted by two boys, who
 crossed the stilo in front of him and pro-
 ceeded on their way. He was immediately
 seized with the desire of becoming the
 Prime Minister of England, and at the age
 of sixteen, having signified his intention
 to the Privy Council and obtained the per-
 mission of his worthy schoolmaster, he
 went up to town, and was received with all
 due honour by the representatives of the
 nation, who apprenticed him to a cheap
 tailor in Regent-street. There his rise was
 rapid and sure. In 1810, lie was offered
 the portership of the DUiK oF YORK'S
 Column, but declined, owing to his views
 from his bedroom window and the steps
 which such a position would naturally
 oblige him to take. Hie was, however,
 soon rewarded for his solf-denial in a
 most romantic manner. On the occasion
 of the parliamentary whitebait dinner,

 attended in the disguise of a waiter, and
 when the members were totally unable
 (in consequence of the cheese or the hear
 of the evening) to find their coats, um-
 brellas, or way out, he gallantly stepped
 forward, and on certain conditions de-
 frayed the hotel bill, saw the party to the
 train, and so avoided the scandal. The
 conditions have never been divulged, but

 chosen by Royalty for the place of Prime
 Minister. He is a great lover of sport, and
 has a rat-hunt in his dining-room every
 Thursday. As a patron to the arts, he
 paints his own house and papers his own
room. With aviewsto add tothecuriositics
of animal life, lie, with great trouble,
caught the measles, and kindly presented
them to the ciminittee of the Zoological
Gardens, a body well worthy of the trust.
In personal appearance he is of commanld-

 No. 2.-MR. TOM TAYLOR.
 This eminent volunteer and dramatic
 author is a very eccentric individual. In
 hio character of TAYLOR he writes all his
 compositions sitting cross legged, and
 insists upon being paid by the piece. His
 eye is as sharp as a needle, and he is un-
 blrtunately afflicted with a stitch in the
 side. He dinesevery day off goose; andin
 cold weather bastes himself everymorning.
 His literary success he attributes to shear
 good luck. His real Christian name is
 PIeRtRE F-ANCOIS. which he had adapted
 from the French, and translated into
 English as ToM.

 gaol was in progress of erection, the pri-"
 socers should still be confined in the old
 one."
