He call<?d late one night a many years ago on Barnes at bis house, c ' and while there another visitor arrived c whom he did not see, but who was shown _ : into another room. Barnes went to him, aud after a quarter of an hour returned, '" when Le Marchant said * Shall I tell you , 8 who your visitor is ?' Barnes said yes, U if he knew. * Well, then, I know his step »r and his voice; it is Lord Durham.' i Barnes owned it was, when Le Marchant I . said, ' What does he come for?' Harm's I,l ' said he came on behalf of King Leopold, 8 ' who had been much annoyed by some . article in the Times, to entreat they would put one in of a contrary and healing de* Bcription. As Le Marchant said, here was the proudest man in England erne I ! to solicit the editor of a newspaper for a a crowned head !" i —=— - != — ——■ =5 ? Advertisments VALUABLE TRUTHS.
