petition in the market, and to the great distress of illt
public, who were thus compelled to pay not only
per tentage profit to the jobber, but whatever extC
tion he might also please to add. These plain &O.
conceived to be better than the speculative reasoning °
Adam Smith." Every man can find facts, and Alt'
Tierney found them in abundance; but if he had read,
Smith, he would have found that Smith also availed 110'
self of facts. The difference between Smith and Mr.
Tierney was merely the use which each made of the
facts. Mr. Tierney reasoned ill, and Smith reasoned
well, which with bad reasoners, is speculative reasoni"P
Atter Mr. Tierney found that his opinions on this sub"
ject were generally scouted, he was too prudent to express
them ; bat we question if even he understood the rationale
of the opinions, on account of which he was obliged !°
abandon his own. In 1799 we find him inveighing
the House of Commons against the evils of inaustyo
capitals and credits, and declaring that " the evils arising
from an immoderate extenson of farms are so obviotof
and rapidly increasing, that some measures may he el:
petted for restraining it, and opening, by the improve
:110pr
of natural opportunities, :the earth to the cultivation °'
men, not as hirelings to others." All this was gravely ut-
tered by one of the most distinguished Members of the
British Parliament, after a lapse of nearly two generatioll°
from the publication of the immortal work of Smith.
Those whb complain of the incapacity of the Legislate°
in the present day, know little of the incapacity of a pr°'
ceding generation, when the !redeye required no other Ile'
complishiaent than the command of language, which ever,'
man used to good society possesses, with a knack at tie'
hating derived from practice. It is the age which has left
the House of Commons behind it, that is all ; for there i 4
confessedly much
.more information in the present Hon"
than in the Houses while burning with admiration on the
profound wisdom of Mr. Tierney, when he detected the
roguery of the middlemen, and saw the dangers of We
farms.

The following is a translation of the Speech of
the President, Count Capo d'lstria, at the opening
of the Senate of Greece, at Nauplia, on the Bth of
November last :
" The Government has now assembled the Ge-
rousia, and you, Gentlemen, are to begin the
im-
portant duties which, honoured with the public con-
tidence, you have been invited to exercise, accord-
ing to the decree of the fourth National Council.
" You are not ignorant of the causes which have
delayed your meeting. The circular, No. 14,450,
of the 13th of September, communicated them to
you on the part of the Government ; but we have
the most perfect confidence in your zeal and energy,
and we feel convinced that although much time has
bete lost, you will now endeavour to expedite the
business with which the Assembly of Argos charged
you ; and we, on our side, will omit nothing to
hasten this end, as you will see, by the communica-
tions which the secretaries of the Government have
been commissioned to make to you, in this, the first
meeting of the Gerousia.
. _

" Besides the intricate concerns of the internal
government, which will be submitted to your deli-
berations, we do not doubt that the matters already
subjected to discussion, and which have influence
on the happiness of Greece, will be equally the sub-
ject of your attention, and of your remitted care.
" The Allied Powers have not as yet communi-
cated any thing on these latter points to the Greek
Government.

" We, however, hope, that our expectations will
soon be realized, and that we shall soon be enabled
to inform you that, thanks to the protection of our
honottred.buefactors, and under the shield of the
rights of niarons, Greece will be able honourably to
real) theltits of her long and cruel sacrifices.
" But the more the nation may desire and hope
for that good fortune, it is the more necessary first
to prove to the world, by the progress of its na-
tional regeneration, and by the establishment of in-
ternal order, that it is worthy of happiness.
" The nation must rely on its chiefs to be en-
abled to effect this : and you, gentlemen, are in the
first rank of these. You will therefore conceive
how important are the labours confided to your pa-
triotism and talents, and how sacred are the duties
which your charge imposes on you. We are con-
vinced that you will fulfil them in a manner worthy
of the hopes of the nation and of the Government.
" J. A. CAPO DISTRIA, Pr.sident.
" N. SPILIADES, Secretary.
" Nauplia (Oct. 27, 0.5.), Nev. 8, 1n9."
The following is the answer of the Gerousia

Mr. Tierney was destined for the ear, but eomigg
unexpectedly to the possession of a considerable sum 136
dedicated himself to polities. Had he stuck to the larr9
he would unquestionably have been the first man at tke
Bar. Sir James Scarlett, with all his tact, would la"
been no match for Mr. Tierney, with an English Jury.
We have always understood that he regretted, iu afkr
life, his abandoning a profession for politics which o 1
tained for him distinction, indeed, but little more; wbdi
his large family demanded more than his limited marl/
could well afford. —Morning Chronicle.

MR. O'CONNELL'S ARRIVAL IN THE

COUNTY OF WATERFORD.

(From the Waterford Chronicle of Saturday.)
Mr. O'Connell has most punctually fulfilled the
engagement which he had made with the county
`Waterford. The Hon. Member left Dublin on
Wednesday morning in an elegant light travelling
carriage (which he has purchased expressly for such
occasions), and arrived in Kilkenny that night•
Next rreorming (Thursday) he set out for Car►ick•
where a large party had been invited by William
O'Donnell, Esq., to meet the Hon. Member for
Clare at breakfast.

" Whilst we- this day undertake the important
duties which arc confided to us, we are not in the
least ignorant how much their importance exceeds
our abilities, and how difficult for us it will be pro-
perly to discharge our functions; but, on the one
hand, our zealous devotion to the interests of our
country, and, on the other, our earnest reliance on
the prudence and talents of your Excellency en-
courage us to hope that our sincere efforts for the
public welfare will be attended with success. The
perusal of the projects of the Government for the
improvement of the internal condition of the people,
sufficiently proves to us, as indeed de all the wise
and salutary acts of your Excellency since you first
arrived in this country, how indefatigable your en-
deavours are for the regeneration of Greece.
" With respect to the generous benefactors, who
you inform us, as the powerful protectors of Greece,
continue to bestow on us benefactions, which in a
measure guarantee to us the happy re-establishment
of our country, long suffering Greece can in no
other manner discharge the debt of gratitude she
owes her protectors, than by praying her heavenly
King to grant long life and prosperity to her.
" She is encouraged to hope, from their justice,
the recommencement of the brilliant days of anti-
quity—days of which she already sees the dawn in
the lately obscured horizon ; and for this she is in-
debted to your wise and prudent Government.

From Carrick Mr. O'Connell, according to e"'
gagement, and accompanied by a number of the
friends of the independent interest, set out int
Kilmacthomas, but was stopped on his way et
Clonea by an immense concourse of the people 01,
that part of the country, who had assembled there,
determined to hear a speech from the great Libers^
tor. Mr. O'Connell found it was impossible to
pass, he therefore got out of his carriage, and went
into the chapel. A simultaneous rush was made
into the chapel, and in a moment the edifice be-
came thronged to excess. The Catholic Ciergi
of the parish, and others from the neighbouf-
hood, were present. Mr. O'Connell here ad'
dressed another most powerful speech to the
people, which produced, if possible, a 563
greater effect than the former. The entire
party then set out for Kilmacthomay. Bow
fires were lit along at both sides of the road,
and peasantry, both male and female, were to be
seen proceeding in immense crowds bearing boughs
of laurel in their hands. The Hon. Member we°
soon in the midst of them, and was accompanieJ
from that into the town with a thousand huzzas, the
green boughs waving as they went along. Having
re,ted here for half an hour, they proceeded at *
rapid rate for Dungarvan, where the NWo were,
for some hours, in the most anxious expectation'
About a mile and a half from Dungarsan, Mr:
O'Connell was met by an immense concourse with
banners, flags, &c. who conducted him with loud and
repeated cheering into the town.

(Signed) " GEORGE SISSINIS, President."

DEATH OF MR. TIERNEY.

The Right Honourable George Tierney, whose death
we now announce, was unquestionably one of the ablest
of the distinguished men who took a lead in Parliament
during the last forty years. He was first returned for
Southwark in 1786 ; and, like his contemporaries, Mr.
Pitt and Mr. Sheridan, he rose at once into fame. On
the secession of Mr. Fez and his friends, he remained in
his place, and vigorously contested every measure with
Mr. Pitt, whom he challenged in 1795, on account of
what would now be considered unjustifiable and unparlia-
inentary conduct—the attributing Lis opposition to a mea-
sure to a wish to impede the service of the country. When
Mr. Addington Iseeatne Minister, Mr. Tierney took office
under him, but on the return of Mr. Pitt to power, he
again joined the Opposition. During the Fox and Gren-
ville Administration he was first Irish Secretary, and
afterwards President of the Board of Controul. With
the Whigs he quitted office, and on the death of Mr.
Ponsonby he heroine Leader of the Opposition in the
House of Commons.
As a speaker, Mr. Tierney was exceedingly original.__
From the moment he opened his mouth till he sat down
the attention of his hearers never flagged for one moment.
In a style which never rose above the colloquial, the most
cutting sarcasms, level to the most ordinary understanding
escaped from him, as if he were himself unaware of their
terrible effect. How often have we seen his opponent
writhing for hours under a succession of sarcasms, which
it almost exceeded human patience to bear ! His sneer
was withering. We are certain that of all the speakers,
contemporaries of Mr. Tierney, no one was, so much
dreaded as he was. His irony was inimitable. From the
simplicity of his language, the reporters never misunder-
stood hint ; but from the rapidity of his colloquial turns;
and the instant roar with which they were followed in the
House, it was impossible to record all that fell front him;
and the reports therefore, though almost always characte,
ristic of him, were far from complete. But his manner and
intonation added iminensely to the effect of what he said.
He never attempted continuous discourse—uerer declaimed
—and never attempted what is ordinarily understood by
wit. It was the conversation of a shrewd man of the world
who delivered Lis observations on the subject under dis-
cussion with an apparent candour, which contrasted sin-
gularly with the knowing tone and look of the speaker.
Mr. Tierney was a most formidable opponent ; and, in
his particular style of speaking, never will be equalled.
No man ever possessed, in such perfection, the talent of
seizing on a weak part of his adveleary, and exhibiting it
in a ludicrous light. His mode of taking an argument to
pieces and reaonstructing it in his own way astonished
his hearers, who recognised the apparent fidelity of the
copy, and
yet felt at a loss how he had himself failed to
perceive, during the preceding speech, what seemed now
so palpably absurd. Yet, though Mr. Tierney was shrewd
and acute, lie could not be said to take comprehensive

About six o'clock a large party sat down t 0
dinner, Mr. John Barron, the candidate of the Iry
dependent interest taking the chair as President,
with Mr. O'Connell at his side, and Robert Lon"
gan, Esq. at the extreme end of the room as Vice'
President. Next morning (Friday) Mr. o'Coli-
nell, Mr. John Barrom, the several friends of the
Independent interest, assembled at breakfast With
the Very Rev. Dr. Foran.

After breakfast Mr. Barron, accompanied bi
several of his friends, and amongst them Mr. O'Con-
nell, proceeded to canvass such freeholders in that
neighbourhood as he had not previously called upon
or met with. The Beresfords, amongst other of
their inventions, have been reciting the names of
several freeholders in that county as pledged to
Lord George Beresford, but Mr. Barron's canvas°
yesterday kas given the most substantial refutation
to this weak invention. Every one of these per-
sons who were so said to be pledged, not only dis-
avowed any such pledge, but instantly and in the
warmest manner promised their votes to Mr. Barron,
accompanying the promise invariably with a regret
that they had not a thousand votes to give him.
After the canvass, Mr. O'Connell addressed the
multitudes of people who were assembled before tl►e
hotel, and continued speaking with the most pow•
erful effect for more than an hour. At the condn'
sion of Mr. O'Connell's address, the people joined
i❑ repeated rounds of cheering, and in sintultaneoue
shouts of " down with the Beresfords."
A hasty meeting of the Committee ‘sas then
summoned, after which the friends of the lude
pendent interest set out for Lismore, where al"
other meeting and a public dinner was to Lave
taken place that day (Friday). This day (Sato►''
day) the entire party accompany Mr. O'Connell
down to Waterford, to attend the public dinner 1°
be given to the lion. Member in this city. The
dinner will be one of the most numerously and re'
spectably attended that has ever taken place in
Waterford.

With respect to the result of the approaching
contest, that result is now beyond all doubt or dan-
ger. Nothing CUH now prevent the triumphant soy
cess of the popular interest. We do not sa/, thre
