The Marquis CAMDEU has againfalfilled the periodical engagement whichi he imposed upon himself, by paying over to the consolidated fund 9,3441., being the amount of fees for 1824, which his Lordship, as Teller of the Exche- quer, surrendered of his own free will to the country. Lor(d CAMDEN, at his cntrance into life, wvas by no means cmbarrassed with riches. He has had a family to provide for, numerous en ough to plead his pardonl had he looked with as mzueh anxiety as many others of the same rank, to matters of mere vulgar concern. His Lordship, however, chose to take a more generous view of the relation in which he stood to society; and bv the noble sacrifice wbich he has made of that whole tribe- of contracted feelings by which men in his predicament, and, alas! of his station, have been too often- actuated, Lord CAMDEN. has proved himself not only generous but wisc. His Lordship has, in our humble opinion, shown himself no bad econo- mist by this dcparture from the ordinary modes of selfishness. He has made a discriminating and pro- fitable bargain, as may be fairly said of every man who gets more than the value of bis money. He has laid out 10,0001. per annum in a magnificent improve- ment of his patrimonial estate-of that inheritance which no vicissitude of fortune, which notlting but ignoble con- duct on his own part, could deprive bim of-the name and honour of an illustrious parent, whose virtues and whose mnoral dignity he thus hands down, not merely unimpaired, but augmented. It is due to L3rd CAMDEN, an(d still more so to an age whish stands in need of high incentives, that his claiTn upon the honest gratitude of bis country- inep should be frequently recalledl to mind; and that so fair an example of public spirit should not sink into utter forgetflIness, either as a recompense or as a lesson.
