• ruin at the Nloi rchy. Under them or cums:ancet, with the nation in a shortest despondency, and in the face of a ;Mite prolligate wheo in power, hut now by oval made desperate as a faction, the youthful 3'.nc' maker' kis course--the rec. ids I f the day steak It tfie'rask he had to peitorm, and bow lie performed it— ' these records tell us th. t so great was the wit Wrote and violenie of patty, and so powerful was that patty iii the Houses of Parliament, that the Sovereign himself evenedinemplated a retirement from the kingdom to his continental dominions---but young as the Minister was, his:ultimate triumph was complete. With tines ampled firmness, and with talents which exci ed the ut most wonder and admiration, he presevered ; he rood by his Ding; he appealed to the voice of the nation; and to that appeal an answer was returned,such as is two to be found in the annals of the country—with a spon taneous burst from one end of the kingdom to ',mother, lie received the support of his admiring countrymen, and in a cerresponding deg tee were his opponents !jumbled and disgraced. But here was laid the foundation of that system of Whig opposition, and of Whig politics, which has since so peculiarly charac terised the eventful periods which followed, and under which system, from the day of its formation to that of the death of our illustrious Statesman, every measure of his administration was opposed, and every act of his go 7ernment was to be frustrated, as far as Whig influence could frustrate. In e.timating, therefore, the character and conduct of Mr. Pitt, we must never cease to beat in mind by whom and in what manner he was opposed. r mist forbear, as I have alteady proposed, the attempt to detail the intermediate events of Mr.ritt's Ministry, 1 important as was his establishment of the Sinking Fund in 1786; the questions arising out ot the King's illness in 1788; the Colon wth I•eland; with the other im portant_ measures of the times, and pass on to the French Revolution—an event so big with importance, that the mind even now startles with involuntary emotion at the mete name. Here a new epoch in the affairs of the world and in the history of man has presented itself ; throwing off all restraint, the French philosophers ki11... i gifted, . r chose to imagine, that mankind could be go-' vetoed by the Goddess of Reason, without the aid of, Religion. The bitter fruits of the attempt have been ' seen—surrounding nations wet e shaken to their founda tions, and few survived the attack—England alone,, tinder th • guidance otits illustrious Pitt, and patinnl King, securely weathered the storm. To . this epoch we th. ' , rime icier for the character of the great man we t.tis day meet to commemorate; we find him, dur ing this eventful period, ever firm to his own integrity. and ever mindful of his country's honour; by his elo quence rousing the almost drooping spirits of bis Cour ti men, or by his talents directing their energies; alike unshaken when threatened by invasion from, without, or by faction front within; and who among' us does not feel proud of the name of Briton, and of the grand distinction to which his country is raised among surrounding nations? Well might I enlarge, upon this animating theme, but I forbear; all our hearts Lear testimony to the grateful leming, and in our hearts we nose and imprint the name of Pm. These are alto, Sir, other objects to which our association as di rected—we associate not only in testimony of the past, but also to provide for the security for the future, and cause enough most assuredly we still have to look to the lattet —the leaven ot Whig malice and of Whig politics„ although changed, is not extinct ; instead of radical 'dorm declamations against the suspensions of the Habeas Corpus Act ; instead of clamours against pensions and placemen, and the other heated or in vented topics of the day, we have now the marcliol ih tellect ; education without religion; authority and power without moral obligation. We are told a new eta is about to come into time world; that men are born wis. r and brims than heretofore; that the march of intellect will supply wan ,and render unnecessary every restraint among us Senseless cry ! Is the intellect of the pre sent day greater than it was when a Homer, a Euclid, a Plato, an Aristotle lived? Tsue it may be, and true it is, science may have enlarged her boundary, but in tellect remains the same, and the distinction is im p. mat; the proven of science teaches us the bettor W know ourselves, to be humble, to be just, to be tem perate; by the march of intellect we are taught to be self-sufficient, to be arrogant, to be ptesumptui.us. With cis, therefore, the consideration is,• by which coui se will our own happiness and the welfare of our country be best promoted—by resisting the encroachment of intel lect, or by encouraging the progress of science? I must, Sir, forbear trespassing longer on your notice, and con clude by requesting “ The immortal memory of the Right Hon. William Pie may be drank in solemn silence. • The health of the Viet•Prealdeot Elect having been drank, The Re,. ARTHUR MATHRWS, in returning thanks for that honour, delivered to the company a speech re. plete with eloquence, wit, and satire. The billowing sketch of our • present illustrious Premier forms an ad• mirable companion-picture to that so finely delineated by the President: Having said thus much (continued the Bev. Gentleman) I feel that it would be safe and becoming to resume my seat at once, for brevity on the present occasion is a debt of gr. titude I owe you for your patient endurance of my prolixity en the last, when I am sensible that I encroached on your time and conviviality beyond all reasonable bounds. It is my sincere intention to avoid that error now, and I have only to hope that• my sense of obligation will not be thought k.s warm if for once it should be less wordy. Besides, among other more important benefit, which the public owe to our present illustrious Plemie., it is no inconsiderable service he has rendered it in giving the weigl.t f his authority and example in favour cf short speeches; I trust they will thus be brought into fashion. and as the courtiers of Alexander affected to bang their heads awry in servile imitation of the Royal deformity. that the colleagues and admit ers of the laco nic llstke will be equally careful to copy an excellence, and that his condensed and pithy style will soon super. sede that boundless amplification which I cannot but consider as a public evil that has increased, is increasing, and ought to be diminished. A British House of Coo• mons has recently listened to B:ougham torseven hours (an appalling proof that the curtailment of a lawyer's tongue is by no means the least necessary of legal no. Cum.); the [louse of Commons. however, languished under its loquacity without a murmur for seven hours, whiht the Itoman Senate, it is recorded, would not ea dole Clodius for tutee; and as the courtesy of coughing ss a• a selissentei t not then in use, the exhausted patience 4 f that magus( assembly broke forth in honest hisses.— Anxious. 11 , mewer. as I am not to occupy your attention loisg, and mach teas..n as I have to apprehend similar jadscations of satiety. it is impossible, on an occasion like this.

One measure alone is necessary to re establish Protestantism in ascendancy in Ireland. Without tt•at one measure, it cannot he done. I will fist state the evil which exists, and • then the re.. auedy. 'lllie evil is the existing supremacy in power of the Popish Priests and Pepery. That evil.fies been progte-sive in proporsion to the privileges which have been estended to Papist% Still looking at the evil in such a manner as the just principles of Protestants would induce every true Protestant to do ; Considering that liberty of conscience, free from the controul of man, is toe inalienable right of all mankind; the re striction must be applied in such manner as ..ant to interfere with such a sacred Protestant prinkipla It is I fit airs, as all restraint unnecessary *towards securing its lawful object must be considered as a hardship,Aisat the rest• air t should not be carried beyond the strong nod evident expediency, not to say necessity, cf the care. The evil, in short, is the esi tence of Popish as- 1 cendancy ; and Vie only remedy, therefine. Istu.t be to secure ['lineman. ascend., cy. looking at I timid: and referring back to what has passed since 1793, and calling to timid especially the lust General Eitsc.son, and the lat Election for Clare, it is quite evident that the grant of the elective franchise to the Papists is the cause of all the mischievous influence they possess. Considering the mischievous influence which the Ca tholic Ass ciation and the Popish Priests possess over the mild, e f the Irish Papists. I cannot but be well aware that disturbance may be produced by so strong an act. Still I venture to call on the Protestants of the Empire to petition that the threaten ing Popish millions in Ireland shall he deprived of a franchise which is not possessed by the quiet, the loyal, Papists of Great Britain. In 1825, the present Lori.; Lieutenant of Ireland refused to grant concessions to the Papists, because of th. it threats. Whisk .do.tbe Agitators of Ireland say now, but that they arebecome so strong, they care not whether Protestants support their cause or not. for their power over the Protestant' M.P.'s is supreme? What would the sue Protestants of the Revolution of 1688 have said ? Would thsy have suspected trat their degenerate successors in 1828 would have per mitt d Ireland, to bee ome subject to Ropish rule—would have buffeted the Parliament of Great Britain and 1 slant to be threate ed soh the in troduction of Popish L Tney would have felt that they had livei and strove in vain for a race of men unworthy of thei• exertions end sufferings, and u terly undeserving the favour and pr. tectson of the ALMIGHTY. 1 rot eat, then. Protestants, petition the Throne and the Houses of. Parliament. to take from Papists privileges which eiperience has rowel to be hurtful to the great mass of the Papists themselves, and dangerous to the welfare of the State, of theProtesi ant re Logi in, and of the civil and religious liberties of the people. But "the slotrful man seeth a lion in the way." nice are darters and difficul i .5 in what Is proposed. Th• re are. But to a man of piincipls, to a man of resolution. it is only necessary to show that the object is one of duty; that meeting a present danger will guard against a greater future one; that unless it is intended. under the same influence of fear, to grant a great deal more than is now asked, it is safer to resist now, and in the way proposed at once to remove future danger, than, abandoning all resolut•on, to let things take their course, and to concede from time to time, in the hope, Cain Wand contemptible as it must prove, to keep off danger for one's own time. Such resolution has been always thought to raise men in the scale of intellectual beings, of patriots, and of Christians, when the object is one worthy of such characters: and is it not so? For what do I urge you to contend? It is for the maintenance of the highest blessing which the lion of mercy ever be stowed on man—the continued secure possession by our Protestant brethren in Ireland, and by ourselves. of the blessings of Christianity. D i I mean to deny that P., pery is Christianity ? GOD forbid ! But as 1 have repeatedly sworn. in common with every Member of each House of Parliament who takes his seat.' that ido latry Is mixed up with the most sacred rite in the Popish Church, so I must add. that I fear very little of true Christian;ty is extended under its auspices to the men, millions of Irish Papists, even now, when Protestantiem continues the estalslished religion of that benighted country. It was but yesterday that I read that the Popish Priest of Mr. Beresford's parish refused admission to the Holy S ac rament to the parents of chilact n aiteudin4 M.. 11.'s sit iptural saga It. fl s ' intolerance birshown whibit Protestantism k 'welsh-he.

Will the Br tish people relit - ciii;sh the blessings tithe Reformati.o., in retain them?

How much more will that be so when the influence of Popery is all in all in that unhappy country I But let ni t Britons deceive themselves by supposing, that with the limits of Ireland the, ambiti-n of the Popish putty will be con tented. Protestant England. Protestant Scotland, t he prepared , taste Popery wed Jesuitism, in England and Scotland, display their arts and pride, and all the bles sings that the Reformation has bestosed again he the subject of an alarming and disgraceful struggle. mly , persuaded as I am of the truth and righteousness 4,1 the cause of Protestantism—convinced .s I am that no _ nation which has enjoyed its blessings as Br itain h as done, will be contented to be derived of them ; I am eonfiisent that the attempts of Popery in these its latter days will be in vain. lam confident the Christian cha racter of Protestantism will triumph ; I am confident irsy Protestant brethren will never submit to its taint tion.
