You ask how the speeches went oft? To say the
truth, whatever effect the Royal presence may have
had on the lads internally, their hearts did not pal-
pitate so much as to be seen through their clothes.
The great difference between this and the ordinals,-
years, was in the number and splendour of the
company. In fafl the press of monde was so great,
that with all my colbgtate pretensions, I could
hardly get in. The address of the Captain was im-
pressive, and had an appropriate Allusion to the
founder and his rightful heir. Weils, who is a good
scholar, but diffident of his oratoric 1 powers, fol-
lowed in a manly and unexceptionable way. The
speeches, especially those in Latin, were given in a
style of great neatness and perspicuity. Some pains
have been taken to form the elocution of the who.
lars upon this Cceronina model ; the only one that
can be expelled to succee i in forensic disputation,
or public harangues ; it was particularly remarkable
in the delivery of Wellesley (Cie. pre 3f•lone.) in
which ever) word had its apnropriate accent and
emphasis. The greatest statesman is Europe might
have taken a lesson here with advantage; for speak-
ers of the most fervid genius are apt to forget the
difference between the flow of ideas from the foun-
tain, aad their absorption by those with whom they
db not originate. •
Most of, the subjects were of the dignified class ;
a few pathetic, at which His Majesty was evidently
afFe.fleti ; and the whole happily relieved by the
" Derriforii eiu utcrei," of Horace, which was-given
by Joy, in a style of great spirit And humour ; and,
as the company were provided with cards of the
Speakers' names, there was literally a buz of
,j.n, in
every groupe, so that a Lady-wit observed, that if
there we; e as much real as nominal joy in the assem-
bly, we should be the fuer: lest cools alive. But the
query is—Quer ',umbra soNeire moilias? Latin for
iptun the pa' ;Taw ?
There was, as there ever must be on such occa-
sions, an inst.dtce or two of monotony, and one or
two finished w,thout the key note; but, on. the
whole, the Dodo: had good cause to be satisfied,
and so he WAS. Whether the boys were or itsf, yon
will judge when I tell you, the Provost interrupted
the plaudits, :o announce, by His Majesty's cam-
mand, an additional week to their holidays. Whe-
ther do you think the clapping before or after this
was most like a clap of thunder.

This Was 711 indiament against the Prisoner for
feloniously, maliciously, and advisedly endeav,,u, ing
to seduce one James Brown, serving in His Maje...y's
forces by sea, from his duty and allegiance to His
Majesty. Brown was the principal iiitne‘s called tin
the part of the Crown, who proved that while he and
1 ien,ey were in dielospital together, at Painton, in
this county, Tierney said to him, that be had a very
particular favour to ask of him, and which favour he
hoped Brown would not deny him. Brown thought
the Prisoner wanted to borrow something of him,
and therefore assured him that he would be happy to
give or lend him lay thing in his power. The Pri-
soner replied. that he did not want any favour of
that kind of hiti, but that the favour which he
wanted of him was, that he would take an oath to
be true to an Onion entered into amongst the sea-
men an board His Majesty's ship called the Dread-
itsv,eht, the intention of which was to assist the
French fleet, whenever they shou'd make an attempt
to invade this country, or to take the English fleet
into th..! French ports, and to put all those to
death who might refuse to do this, when an oppor-
tunity offered. Brown immediately told hint, that
be had said enough to hang himself, without 6:fur
Judge or Jury, and very soon after this be informed
the surgeon of the Hospital of what had :passed be-
' tween hini and the Prisoner, who ordered the Pd-
soner to be confined. From Brown's evidence, it
appeared, that when any seaman on shore was pre-
vailed on to take an oath to join this union, informa
Lion by the post was immediately sent on board the
Mn/nought, and the name of such person was im-
mediately entered in a b:lok kept for that purpose.
'Tierney belonged to the Dreadvecght, but Brown lie-
longed to another ship. The Prisoner had no coun-
sel. His Lordship, however, several times asked
the Prisoner, whether he had any questions to put
to either of the witnesses for the crown, and whether
he had any thing to say in his own defence, &c. ?
Hie general answer was, No, it is all false."
His Lordship then summed up tl:e evidence, and
delivered a most excellent charge to the Jury, upon
the native of the Prisoner's offence, in such times
as these, and in passing the awful sentence of the
law upon the Prisoner, nothing could l,e snore dig-
nified and solemn.
