AN EX-PORTLANDER AT MANCHESTER.

Jodileg from Devitt's brave uttemeass M Ilaniess•

siderably to his stock of courage, or iispodsook
Without allowing blioesif mach time for his personal
plessnre, he has opmed the ball in right earnest, and
Ites owe more set all his political foe' is defiance, and
to such • tone that if he ia not very soon again
breathing the bracing see Wessel that blow over the
Book It will be astonishing. "I am at present out
seder the oondittons of • ticket-of-leave, which
sonditions I bare treated with the sense contempt as
I did three years ago," is the strain, a remark which
peeves that either Miami has very little of gratitude
in his composition or that be thinks be tias little to
thank hie Mentors for. The hitter, probably, and
therebee mos again he is, as he puts it—' disregarding
ell the cooseqnstiose this may follow bons his doles
the duty of se Irishman, and that he intended to speak
what he felt." This first public oration Is through-
out characterised by the same bitterness and apparent
detestation of England and all that is Ragbag as
have marked his whole life, and it is Net this ha-
peelioned sad heated baguets which raises the
blood of the Irish, and effectually impedes the progress
of amicable Legislation. He lays the whole of

Months of some sort. The writer especially referred
to Cosimmare. the wet poverty.stricken part of a

district steeped in poverty, in which at the present

starvation. II Michael Davitt was Imbued only with

So the smarmy. It is not sympathy and love, but

David sad his fellows—the seine rancor As, undying
kilts towards Bagland, which ham ever been Ireland's
ruin. It is this implacable feeling which sustained
Devitt, Pernall, and their co-patriots, for so many
weary months within the walls of Portland
and Silmelnham ; and which accounts for this
renewal of hostilities on the part of D /vitt, which
jeopardises that liberty on which he would aphasia to
set so mull a value.

The malt of the poll at the Reform Club ham
malted in the defeat of the Radicals. Berea hundred
and forty members, or needy one-ball of the entire
membership, voted, and, by a majority of 11, the pr 0,0•610,0•61

personal dislike to the President of the Board of Trade
and the Caucus sem than to any treason against
party tine The Radical election have two courses open
So than. They must blackball every Whig who is pro-
posed, and so keep the numbers of the club stationary
until their opponenta give way, or they must secede
and found • rival institution.

It is unfortunate that there should be so closes
einailarity in DOM of the titles in the peerage. Not
laao a ooutemporary got into a scrape by
mistaking
a Lord Lisle for Lord De Lisle and Dudley;
and • similar mistake has been mats. It appears that
a lady was recently presented at Court who certainly
would net have the entric of any decorous drawing.
• A change of two lettere made all the difference.
La this way • reputation has got a temporary white-
washiag_by accident. For even the decree of Sir
Janis Hannon would to social intents and purposes
be AA aside by a presentation. The Lord Chamberlain
is the Ofteor Mont" of modern society. Ilia black
book list would be • curious piece of literature, so
would a history of the attempts of blemished virtue to
evade his vigilance.
