TION FOR THAF CITY. •

The Right Honourable William Cunniughain
Plunkett mime, amidst loud cheering, waving of
hos, &c.—The following is host an imperfect out-
hoe of his spleodiel and affecting speech:—
Mr. Sheriff, 1 shall etideavuur, as well us 1 nun,

bootie streamed at that moment, and loud sobs
were intermingled with cries of .1 Brae*, bravo,
Plunkett!" As anon as he recovered some s• po-
sure hr tirocereled.]-1y friend, the Lard Mayor,

for .Jr. Grotto'', lie wept bate, ly during all the
tone the Hight i-fon. Gentleman wen
would deem it sacrilege and impiety if I were
to sull.,•r any feeling of faction or or porgy to inter-
hie with this solemn duty. When 1 sec Protestauto
and Catholics intrranim,:leil in this assembly, I feel
lam rroataled by Iriends, and cursed be the
wretch who, by any set or expression, would eir-
&avow to kindle the domes of contention amongst
them !—/Loud and rapturous cherrs.,l-1 will not
litre attempt the vain task of recapoulating the
service's and the virtues or the Girnrl we have lost;
they are far above the reach of L:), humble powers
to do them justice; but great as lies patriotism was,
no feelia; was ever more grateful to his heart than
the support or the Protestant Constitution. It was
die rare felicity of that immortal man to have been
at once the advocate or every class of his Ma-
jesty's subjects, and to have given equal sottish's-.
tom to all ; and in the highest soariags of his entliu..
shorn. and in the warmest zeal of his exertions, the
pole-star that guided both was his wish to
strengthen the connexion.—(Hear.)—l do not

profanation to the dead .to make any Ill4i1110.10111.;

could I perform a deity more serviceable to my coon-

and their benefactor.—(Confinueel cheering, and
cries " lVe ;freer tcill.")— Awl I tell my Learned
Friehel, that 1 could never offer him a sincerer mark
of friendship, than by advising him to retire f

When 1 look at soy cootie f.tenel who sits beside
me, my mind is led back to the tithes when 1 saw
his great father scaring and blasting with his light-
nings the rooks of venality mud corruption ; it is led
bock to those !lowa, when. disarmed of nis light-
will:, I beheld him in the bosom of his Comae, bur-
roui.ded by innocence sod domestic teudertires. illy
young friend beside rue inherits those virtues; his
lather's Madge walks before him, and wheu • moth
idea could enter his breast. lie must be possessed of
a boldness in itstimy beyond the share of moderate
Clegriirracy. If, then, it be asked what security
ratios for his paritionentary conduct, t will answer,
sr nas HANK." The sou of the man unequalled
in the umiak of history—the MAO who rinsed his
country frcin the degradation of a province to the
rsisk of a il)ll—the 111%111 who has been honoured
by the great, the good, the illustrious—he who
sleeps amidst Kings and Patriots, sisi the ,post diva
Unguislied Statesmen. The empire claims the ho-
nour of entombing him, and his very stshr• confeela
glory oil Britain.—(Long ard confirmed elseeriseg,)
I am uow led to consider the daisies of soy Learned
Fritied, who I admit to be a man of honour, of ilia
trgrity, and of tit...t.. I will not ask what are the
suds he has done. 11w proofs he lira given, the trials
he has undergone.; but 1 will say io direct term-,
if he possessed every qualificatimi—if he possessed
• genius as transcetodesit as the 'tonsorial mail lie
Chasm, to succeed—if he nesitilesied as metro a pa-
triotism—if he overtired a tree trade for his c ry
re, that still MastOr Ellis ouutht to he rejected

He gives you bad wearily for it, when he nbandons'

own examination in the Conittlil+lollelli of inquiry's
Report, of the diff-resit important and difficult

l'hrse are nut like the du!ies of a Judge with
the iistervention of d Jury : they are nut like the
decisions of a Judge pronounced iu open Court,
with the wholesome check of the public eve upon
him. He has s difficult and complicated duty to
discharge, Is which hr most exercise the so 1111 l Ines.
of his own discretion. I do not menu to say that
Alaster Ellis would suffer any improper feeling to
sway his mind in the administration of justice; hut
when a disappointed suitor leaves his offi.re, who
liar 10-en opposed to another suitor who has a vote,
ow lie himself has mow, will he, however justly
be he condemned, utter urn murmur when retiring ?
Jost ice must be not only purr, but unsuspected.
%VIII that man he utionspected, who is deciding the
cic-e of a person in the evening, to whom he his
doffed his hat in the morning, supplicating bins fur
1114 vtite?—( Ropitcrons cheers.)-1 do not say this
; I am nut note upow a topic calculated to
catch popular applause, or tickle the rnrs of some
individual., hut I pledge myself this circutn-
rtance shall nut paw, without being made a sub-
ject of I,....gislativeinve-stigation.—(d universal shout
of " thorn ! briar() P' burst front every corner of the
Court, cid Master Ellis's cheek turned pale at this
11111 l ociatioit). lam aware Bost there are instances
of Etwlials Master* in Chancery having been iu Par-
liatomt. My answer to that is two-fold. It is phy-
sically possible for • Master in London to dischsrge
the duties of both offices. But how is a man. who
is obliged to reniain in his office in Dubin' for ten
mouths its the year, to be able to attend to his par-
hamentary duties in London? He eau only be
absent from his office for two months in the year, as
he himself has sworn, and that in the middle of the
lung vacation, when the Porliantrid is not sitting ;
therefore if he is so anxious to assist the Legislature,
he can wily do it with his advice, arid hems do that
as lie is.—(Chetes.)-1f he is so eager to enlighten
them by his advice, in God's name, let him give it to
them now. But I assert there never was such a thin
heard of as a Master in Chancery, even in England,
citsvassing fur a contested election. If such a fla-
grant outrage of the first principles of justice were
attempted in the Sister Country, the delicacy of
English notions of right, would shrink with alarm
front it. And let me ask my honest friends, are
they acting a worthy part when they propose to a
man to do tin act which would hr considered an
outrage to justice in London ?—(Lord cheers.).
They think they are now serving themselves—that
they are promoting their interest., and forwarding
certain schemes; .but I predict that before many
mouths will have elapsed, every 111311 who has takers
a part to this degrading transaction). will wish he
was not born on the day or first interfered its
it.—(Here the thunders of applause that greeted
the Right Hooourable Gentleman all through his
speech were redoubled, the blood once more for-
stook the cheek of Mr. Ellis, and even Alderman
King himself trembled, sod long after Mr. Plunkett
had concluded, the tremor continued so violent that
he was unable Its peel an orange which betook from
his pocket.)
Mr. Plunkett then adverted to the Catliolic Cause,
nod the late Mr. Grattatt's advocacy of it, whose oh-
iect, lie said, lie knew was to give strength to the
Protestant connexion, and security to the Empire..
It is the basis, he cont. d, of liberty, anti I shall
therefore he their advocate. They are not storming
the Constitution by wild theories and dairgerour in-
novations, hut are calmly, temperately, and con-
stitutionally seeking for their rights. And if they
desisted, they would he degraded ; if they were
contented to be the creepinic slaves they are, and
shoodosted their lofty aspiritigs after liberty, I
would warn every Protestant to the land against the
cooragi.2or of their society._
. _

Tt:e Right Illonoandie Gentleman concluded by
saying (sifter some further eloquent obrervations),
1 urn probably shortly to lay their claims before the
Legi.laturr. but I shall feel disabled and puralized
if I do not see my yaw( friend beside me sheathed
in the armour of his immortal father.

He then proposed Henry Grattan. Er+ as a fit
and proper person to represent the city of Deblon
iu Parliament.

When Me. Plunkett concluded the applause
which greeted him wrung through the house fOr
several minutes. lie himself, who appeared to be
struggling with his feelings whilst speaking, gave
way to his grief as soon as he sut down ;he held
his handkerchief to his face. and seemed quite
overpowered during the rest of the time he remained
on the isediugs.
