Individual. He was the eon of a tradesman in the town of Looghrea. In the county of Galway, who, with minder means, had reared and educated a numerous family. Mr. Finnerty, the eld est son, was in early age out upon his fortunes in the metropolis of Ireland; brought up as a printer. be, at the awful crisis of 1799, succeeded Mr. Arthur O'Connor as the printer of the most popular sad ably conducted paper which ever appeared in that country —The Press. Such a situation naturally brought Mr. Finnerty into perilous coataet with the irritated and coercive Goverment of that day. It was so or dinary predicament is which so young a man, being then scarcely of age. was placed. Under the process of the laws as then administered in Ireland. he was vi sited with all dm penalties of a vindictive prosecution ; and the property of the establishment was ultimately demolished by military force.—On Ms trial he had the honour of being defended by Mr. Caren, an advocate whose powers rose with no demands of his country for their exertion, and who seemed to have been des tined to the great but dangerous distinction of dis playing talents in the defence of virtue, commensurate to the wrongs which had called them forth.- In that Court he charged the 0 went of that day with a vindictive warfare against the only printer who dared to whisper the liberties of Ireland. Mr. Finnerty was sentenced to a punishment mere ignominious to the law than to the criminal, but had the honour of being attended by Lord Edward Fitzgerald. and many other public characters. The sentence was executed also under the bayonets of a large military force, buts:mold not repress that bent of popular sympathy which ta i tended the first address that he ever made to his suf fering onetrymeo. lie passed those dreadful years of 9d and 99 in the prison of Newgate, Dublin, where too frequently the guest of the breakfast-table, as he himself has often described, was hurried forth to sadden execution. Such was the persecution with which he had to contend, is consequence of the subver sion of his establishment, that he remained for months unemployed before be mild obtain a passport for Eng land! Arrived in London,beentered into an engagement on the Press, and commenced Parliamentary Reporter. The faithful and able manner in which he discharged the important duties of such a trust, is well known to all-who have had any connection with the press of the metropolis. Having professionally attended the Court Martial which was held at Portsmouth, be became ac quainted with Sir Home Popham, ao intimacy stom• manned which Unlimited oily by his death. When tielclteres such piece, Me. Pin ner'', at the request of Sir Home, sailed with Captain Bartholomew from Woolwich, for the avowed pur pose of writing the history of that expedition. An order bad, ho% , been circulated through the squadron in the Downs, to send Mr. Finnerty on shore. if found on board the fleet. This order was ineffec tual, as Mr. F., unaware Of its existence. had arrived at Walcberen, and en being made aequalated with it immediately waited open the naval Commander-in- Chief. He was received with the greatest kindness, and after a delay atoms weeks returned to England in a frigate. Under the irritation of feelings na turally excited by such a strange exercise of autho rity, he addressed, through this paper, a letter to a Noble Member of the Administration, who held a conspicuous place in the recent and melancholy his tory of Ireland. reflecting upon his conduct and cha racter. That Noble person immediately commenced a prosecution against the publisher of this journal ; Mr. Fianerty, who bad been repeatedly warned by the late Mr. Perry as to the consequences which would result from the publication of the letter, with the frank and decision of cliiracter which belonged to him, im mediately requested that the manuscript should be given up, that the prosecution might affect only the the real author. He allowed judgment to go by default; but, en being brought up for judgment, be defended the libel on the ground of the proven dons which lie had received, as well as the truth of his allegation. which he n as then prepared with affilavits to sustain. lie was sentenced to a long term of imprisonment that was so rigorously carried into effect, that his constitution received a shock from which it never recovered. While is prison, by an appeal to Parliament, he produced an Inquiry, the result of which not only led to >i mitigation of his own sufferings, but to the general atneliorati m of the pri son discipline. Oa his liberation, be resumed his du ties pith this Paper. His mir.d, naturally strong and original. was invigorated by an experience of the world that enabled him, with no common acuteness, to perceive both the substance and the form of truth, and detect the sophistries of the most specious imposi tion. He had a natural eloquence of a vivid and mas culine character, and his colloquial powers were pecu liar and fascinating. But his leading characteristic was as instinctive hatred of oppression, whatever shape it assumed, or by whatever influence it was attempted to be enforced. We will Willie° one instance. In the recent Sta:e Trials, Mr. Finnerty was the indivi dual who first discovered that the infamous Thomas Reynolds, personally unknown to his brother Jurors, was actually a member of the Grand Jury of the Me tropolitan County of England. No sooner was the fact ascertained, and pending the trials in West-alio. ster,Hall, than lie communicated tile circumstance to a Member of the House of Comm , 'ns, who, in conse quence made a disclosure, the electric effect of which upon the House was only equalled by the indignation which it excited throughout the country. From the original formation of his mind, his unbending devotedness to the interests of his country, anl hatred of its oppressors, he had drawn upon himself much po Iltical hostility, but for that he was amply compen sated by having the good fortune to enjoy the proud distinction of being known to Mr. l-'oi, Mr. Whit bread, and Sir Samuel Romilly, and of having as his personal an intimate friends, Mr. Cerrito, Mr. Sheri den, and Mr. Orattao• as *all as some df th 411 6413 furl' meat public men now firin. Bating made this plats arid simple statement, we have only to add, that while the memory of Mr. Oingerty is identified with, the his tory of his conotryr it wiiiiipag be cherished by those associates, who, having ha the beet opportunity of f knowing hit good qualities, have the Isest mem Is/ deplore his loss.
