col. &rely, there is nothing in that to flietten
ntomiling young man—and ern though there
sln-Ild be some one of his C leagues not fully
casineed of the ease and iurt:ry of

Bull, to speak the truth of him, was not equal to ,
the department. He had, however, got himself„
Tele how or other, thrust iato employment ; and
is went through the 'ausiness with a grave face, i
Ty :ather had as high opinion of him."— If, then,

twangs and comfort from Mr. Shandy's Ball. Upon
ase grounds. then, we do contend, that Mr. CAN-

ha, rather proved their hut&lity, than afforded any
fence of overweening vanity and presumptinn.
do, we ask, is it net pnni'de dist they may have
imposed upon themselves? Is it nit possible that they
may be wafering from some delusion ? We ask, is
there net reason to fear that they are in error, when
they conceive that the Ex-Ministers have done no-
thing? or that any but a liberal,jusr, able, and virtue us
Gnvernment, could have a acquired so high a cha-
rgter, at home and abroad, and carried with them,
out of office. the universal regret of the country ? A
te.v dreamt:an:es in their Ministerial existence,
will be a sufficient answer. A new military system
hac been iatroduced and established, at once anselio-
t'ng the situa:ion of the soldier, and augmenting
the security of the Empire. A new financial system
Inai Sean introduced and established, the. fruit of
7.eat labour and deep res:arch, by which the coun-
try is relieved from the enormous pressure of in-
creasing taxation. They have abolished the Slave
Trails; a work which all the eloquence of Mr. Parr
tau unable to accomplish in a course of 20 years.
And they have matured a plan for extending the
as;slccr. af the English law 10 the remotest point of
Scotiand. This they have done at home, while
aliened they have crincitiated America, and confirm-
ed Russia and Sweden in hostility against the crimes
aldaggressious of France. Wnat they h Ave done

yards of Tic ifeterfird Chro..icle of Thursday last.
