Ignorance of this unquestionable truth, that so much of this agitated globe has, in all ages, been crawled over by a Manx population. This • discovery, at Last, Ireland has made—tfie Catholic claimed his Tights—the Protestant generously and nobly felt as he ought, and seconded the claim--a silly Govern ment was driven to the despicable courage of cowardice, and resorted to the odious artillery of prosecutions; the expedient failed, the question Inade its way to the discussion of the Senate.-1 will not tire you (said he) with a detail—an House of Commons, who, at least represented themselies, perhaps afraid, perhaps ashamed of their employers, became unmanageable tools in the hands or such awkward artists, and were dissolved ; just as a beaten gamester throws the cards into the fire, isrp hopes in a new pack to find better fortune. Gentlest . men (continued Mr. Curran), I was well awn," at ( ' my rising, that you expected nothing like amuse-) ment from :what I had to say—that my duty was to tell .you. plain and important truthsr-to lay before you, without. exaggeration or reserve, a fair statement of the causes that have acted upora the national fortune—of the causes that have put you down, and that may raise you up; to possess you with a fair idea of , your - present position—of what you have to fear—of what you have to hope—and how you ought to act.. When I speak of your pre sent yosition t .l : wouid not have s you suppose shot.l n the actual.situation_of the Borough of Newry ;. or, that I'thinlejt nsuch worth while to dwell upon the foolish insolence, with which a besotted Cabinet has thought fit ! to r insultsou, by sending a stranger to your country and your interests, to obtain a mo *winery victory over your integrity, by..tneans of which none of ypu are ignorant." . • 5 .,, [llere - Mr. Bell, an agent fOithe.Goa. eral, stood up and fixed his eyes upon the ' Mast s, of the Rolls, with a very peculiar expression of countenince4 • " Mr. Seneschal (said Mr.:Curran), I demand ef you, as Returning Clacer, that I, a Candidate, shall be protected, as.you are ig duty bound to do, from being disturbed by the obscene and unnatural gri maces of a Baboon." [Mr. Jebb, the Counsel for the Seneschal, im mediately interposed, and ordered Mr. Bell to sit down.] Mr. Curran resumed—" I do not wonder at hav ing provoked interruption, when I spoke of your borough—l told you that from this moment it is free. Never in my life have I so felt the spirit of the peo ple, as among you—never have I so felethe throbs of returning , life—l almost forgot my s own habitual estimate of my own small importance—l almost ; thought it was owing to some energy within myself, when I was lifted and borne on upon the buoyant surge of popular sympathy and enthusiasm. I, therefore, again repeat it—it is the moment of your new birth unto righteousness—your proved friends are high among you—your developed enemies are I expunged for ever—your liberty has been taken from the grave, and if she is put.back into the tomb, it can be only by your own parricide, and she must be bu ried " I have to mid, for your satisfaction, a statement has been laid before me of the grossest bribery, which will be proved beyond all doubt, and make there- turn a nullity. I have also received a statement of evidence to show, that more than one-third of those who voted against us, had been trampled by bribe *lid terror into perjury, whet' they swore to the va lue of their qualification. ;lame of those houses had actually no existence whatsoever—they might as welt, have voted from a qualification in the moon— they were literally driven from their pasture to give their suffrage, and Nebuchadnezzar, in the last year of his running as grass, would have been just as comptaent as they were to vote in Ireland. But I enlarg e not upon this topic—to touch upon it is enough for the present—the detail must be reserved for a future occasion, and another place—it belongs only to the hopeless to-be angry—do not you, there fore, be angry, where you cannot be surprised.— You have been insulted, and oppressed, and betray ed—but what better could you hope from such a Ministry as their sown nation is cursed withal—they hear the voice of suffering England. now thunderieg in their ears—they feel they cannot retain—they are anxious to destroy--they are acting open the prin ciple of Russian retreat. Pressed upon by the peo ple, and beaten back into their fastnesses, they de populate as they retire : but_what better could you have ever hoped from such men ?-4. motley groups, without virtue, or character, or talents--the sort of Cabinet that you have laughed at on the stage, where the potent, grave, and reverend Seniors were composed of. scene-shifters, and candle-snuffers, robed in old curtains, and wigged from the stores of the Theatre. They affected to profess religious distinctions, but they were too grossly ignorant to conceive any such. There is no science in which a mu must not know something to qualify him for misconception. I have myself talked with English-I men upon this subject : you cannot suppose me to allude to the exalted class of persons in that country who have done themselres so much honour by their sympathy and liberality-1 speak of an inferior or tier—indeed, of posse's like your Ministers there, or 'our Ministers here. I hate asked them, what they could find so formidable iu the religious prin ciples of the Irish Catholics?—And the answer has ' uniformly been Why, Sir, I never know's! • nothiele at all of the principles of the Hirish Pa • piats, except their lank hair, and long coats, with.. • out no•arnts in the sleeves; and 1 thinks the most • liberal man still allow, that them there are danger -4 oils principles.' • " Shall I, my friends, say one serious word to ; ou upon this serious subject? Patriotism is of no I one religion; Ciristianity belongs exclusively to no sect; and moral virtue and social duty are taught with equal exactness .by every sect, and practised I with equal imperfection by all ; and therefore, wherever you fi nd a little intereste d bustling bigot,, do not hate him—do not imitate tam—pity him if ou can. I scarcely wish 3ou not to laugh when LW look at one of these pearl-divers in theology ; his head barely under water, his eyes shut, and an index floating behind him, displaying the precise decree of hip purity and his depth.

From that hour to this she has been flaring away in her ruinous and wasteful war—her allies no more--her enemies multiplied—her finances reduced to, rags— ; her people depressed and discontented—her &raisins ' reduced to the last ebb, and their discontents method ized into the most terrific combinations—her labour ers without employment—her manufacturers without a market. The last entrance in the North, to which they could have looked, being now.shut against them, and fasteued by a bar that has been reddened in the flames of Moscow.

Ile saw that the Public in either country could not have any hope from an arrangement in which the first preliminary was a selfish scramble for patronage, that must have ended in a scramble for power—in which the first ef forts of patriotism were for the reformation of water. closets, and the surrender of mop-sticks in the Pa lace—to sink the head and to irritate the man that wore the Crown, instead of making their first mea sure a restitution of representation to the People, who, if they were as strong as they ought to be, could have nothing to dread from the tinsel of a robe or the gilding of a sceptre.

The sole .cpiestion was 1 Whether the condition and degree in 'lse of the Defen dant, who was at the time in question of the age of •i 18 years, warranted the supply' of so large a quan tity of goods; for it appeared that the bill charged the Defendant, from April iu one year, till January in the next, with .38 handkerchiefs, and 29 pia of I silk stockings, two only of which were black. As ' to the fortune of the Defendant 9 it was proved br Dr. Combe, that it arose from estates in the Island of Tortola, employing and possessing 930 negroes ; I but the Defendant's father never considered himself as possessing more than 40001. per annum, and the I.estate came to the son charged with the fortunes of i younger children, which reduced its value to ; 40,0001.; and the son's title to the whole was now litigating in the Court of Chancery. But the in come of Defendant, when a minor, was fixed at 10001. a-year, since that only was the sum allowed him by his guardian after his mother's death. The ; bankrupt deposed, that the Defendant came to his shop in his carriage, and with his servants, of whom I he kept five male, and three female; that he at first : had lodgings in Bond-street, and then a house in 1 Foley-place, where he kept two carriages, and that I he now lived in Manchester-square, next door to the Marquis of Hertford, and kept his carriage; and the bankrupt tristed him to any amount without eitquiry.'.; Lord EI.I.ENDOROVGII laid down the law for the ; protection of infants from their own extravagauce, ' and from the pillage of tradesmen ; and left it. to I the' Jury to say, what portion of this accumulation , of handkerchiefs and stockings were fair necessaries for a lad' of 18, who was allowed 10001. per annum. I The circumstances of his keeping a carriage with tub- I berly ieriants about it, they would leave out of the question, since that would be only, adducing one I I folly to atone for another ; and if all his then cre ! ditors. were to come in to he paid out of this 10001. a year. the coach and horses would come shortly off. , i The Jury gave the Plaintiffs, 241.
