LONDON, W EDNESDA Y, SEPT. 8.
EARL FlTzwtratass seems bent upon showing that
he ie not a man to be slighted with impunity. The
West Riding of Yorkshire passed over the house of
FazWILLIAM, when it went out to seek a fitting col-
league for Lord MORPETH; Lord MORPETII, know-
ing that the house of Ftrzwituast had thus been
over, acquiesced, nevertheless, in the West
passed
Riding's choice of a colleague for him; and therefore
Earl FITCWILLIAM will spite both the one and the
other. He will go to West Riding festivals, whence
politics have ever been carefully excluded, and throw
them into moat admired disorder, by introducing
peevish political debates ; and he will pelt Lord
Motterrit and his mates in office with troublesome
questions, where they least expect to meet them, till
they are afraid to show their faces in public.

To the Master Cutler's feast in Sheffield went Earl
F rrz WILLIAM, spleneti c and uncomfortable himself, and
resolved to make everybodyelse equally uncomfortable.
His first growl was of general application. He began
to comment with asperity on "the marvellous igno-
rance of the state of Ireland" manifested by English-
men at large and his auditors in particular. He com-
plained that the English people boast of having given
Ireland nine millions of money during the late dis-
tresses, whereas they had only given four or five mil-
lions, and lent the rest. His lordship sarcastically added
that "the generosity of the money-lender is not
the virtue which is moat ordinarily ascribed
to him." We will not now discuss the question
whether the conduct of England towards Ireland has
oa the late occasion been generous or merely just:
we hate the anxious balancing of good services
among kinsfolk. But we must say that in repre-
senting Englishmen as boasting of what they have
done for Ireland, Earl FITZWILLIAM does them grow
injustice. If Englishmen have at any time recapitu-
lated with precision the services rendered to Ireland
in its hour of need, this seeming boasting has been
forced upon them, in self-defence by the mendacious
calumnies of some trading agitators on the other side
of the channel.

The tenor of the remarks with which Earl Fitz-
'WILLIAM followed up his charge of pharisaical boast-
ing was peculiarly unbecoming in a nobleman occu-
pying the position which he does. He argued that
England owes not only a large moral debt, bet a
large pecuniary debt, far more than four millions can
repay. This pounds very like the repudiation of
liability for the late loan of which we have heard
muttennge from various Irish boards of guardians.'
It was bold in Earl Frrequasm—an extensive Irish
landowner—to broach this doctrine face to face with
so many representatives of the industrious middle
claws of England, by whom the payment of the
advances and grants for Ireland must in no email mea-
sure be borne. Ina far as they are called npontopay
there is no pecnalsry return—no set off. But if Earl
Frrzwausm will take the trouble to compare what
he contributes in his character of English landowner
with what he gains, or is saved, in his character of
Irish landowner, be will find that he is at least
no loser. And he may rest assured that this
balance was, while he was speaking, silently struck
by not a few of his auditors, who knew right well in
what proportion the landlords of Ireland have been
benefited by the loans and grants to that country.
Earl Frrzwrixtsm next proceeded, in the same
pleasant temper, to taunt his audience with their
thatßunder a system of free trade. After
bedpro-
he thought each a system the
all nations, he sareasaiical told thee= of
the seater cutler " not to that
they were quite sure." He than lobe "Labe
