upon property I but it was his poverty. Arad not his '
will, that neasented to this increase of his rent-roll,
being misetwite =sable to satisfy the debts =cumu-

Servants. To the sod and destayed he was most

and his memory will he loos held in grateful re-
membrance by the poor of Ireland, for whose relief
be adopted various wise and charitable measures,
at the request, and under the superineesdance, et a
worthy Baronet, the Csaacattoa of the Earn e-
QU r a for that part of the United Kingdom. From his
mild and pacific temper, hopes were also entertained
of a speedy accommodation of the law-suit, so long '
subsisting between the Parliament Family, and the
Corsican Pretender; but though he died without see-
ing that hope realised, the King's Speech strews that
steps were taken in his lifetime, which may eventually
lead to its completion. Mr. Session baring lived
mostly within doors, and divided his time between
his two houses. the Lpper and the Lower blouse of
Parliament, and his society consisting almost uni-
formly of males, it has been thence supposed that
he was a woman-hater, and dead to the charms of
the fair sex. This, however, appears to be a vile
and unfounded calumny. The Servant who had the
superintendance of the 6,h-ponds and aquedueis,
and all the regattas and fireworks upon the waters
on his estate, being suspe.ted of peculation, and
converting his Master's money to by own use, and
ordered to be publicly tried for the same, before
the High Court of Parliament, Mr. Stamm took

this opportunity of iodulging'bithself with the plea-
sure of the company of all the beauty and fashion
in the land. Westminster Hall was fined up at a '
great expence for their reception, and here Mr.
Sess o Is, for a space of nearly one month, delighted
himself from day to day in the society of Peeresses
and Peeresses' daughters, all decked out in morn-
ing dresses, and with eyes rivalling in brilliancy
the brightest diamonds of Golconda. Sotomos,
in all his glory, never beheld such a circle ; nor did!
Maslow ar ever conceive, in his most impassioned'
moments, so lovely a Paradise. MrtSesstom hav-
ing filled so large a space in society, we need not be
surprised if the town should soon exhibit a deserted
appearance in consequence of the departure of his
numerous followers and friends, who will seeks°
console themselves in the country for his irrepa..
