Mr. HORNE TOOKE, in the Letter, of which we
yesterday gave an extraa, speaking of the manner
in which Mr. PAULL clung to Sir FRANCIS BUR-
DETT, alludes to the story in the dirabian Xights
Entertainments, and hints that Mr. PAULL, is, like.
the Old Man who stuck to SINBAD the sailor. This
allusion, though it is certainly pointed and humor-
ous; was somewhat unlucky on the part of Mr.
HORNS TOOKE, since it has enabled one of his po-
litical opponents to apply it more strongly to Mr.
TOOKE himself, as will be seen in the following
passage of a whimsical Letter, in answer to Mr.
TOOKE'S Pamphlet :
". I wish poor Sir FRANCIS would read the whole
story, for it is a sad one. It tells us that SINBAD the
sailor fell into the hands of the Old Man of the Sea;
a decrepid, nauseous, mischievous animal, that
fastened round his neck and almost strangled him.
No wonder that SINBAD the sailor was ravished with
joy when he got rid of this importunate rider, this
cursed old man (maudit vieillard) ; for shocking,
indeed, was the chara&er of the monster. "You
have escaped (said the people) from the Old Man qf
the Sea, and are the first that has escaped being
strangled. He never quits those he gets into his
hands till he stifles them; he has rendered this island
famous for the number of people he has been the death
id." God help those who fall into. the power of,
such Old Men !
This description of the Old MS of the Sea has
made such an impression on me, that 1 think I could
draw him, sitting on. Si N13411'4, shouldCrs, to the life.
I would paint an adult, wrinkled, shrivelled old man,
with the brow of an executioner, aid the dark de
signing look of a conspirator, sitting on the shoulders
of 4 soft, gentleman-like, young man, and I would
write under it—"- The Old Man'of the Sea, sticking
to the shoulders,of ssnbad he Sailor.? •

Mr. SHERIDAN said —a Gentlemen, I perceive
that yo,u have looked at that board which announces
the state of the Poll, this day, with pernliar sensa4
tions, of pleasure ; I can assure you that there is
nothing thereon that gives me the least dissatisfac
tion. Gentlemen, I hope none of you have thought
it any disrespect to you that I have latterly shewo
myself so late upon the Hustings. The faCt has
been, that having begun my canvass so late, I have
thought it my duty to continue it to the last honc.l
could., without entirely deserting my past at this
place. I do not, indeed, possess that adtivity and
good sea legs which enable that Noble Lord (coal<
rane) to address you from that perch in the front of
the Hustings (meaning the outer partition of the
Hustings, upon which Lord Cochrane generally
stept forward); and this day, Gentlemen, Lam not
m the situation that I stood upon on former days; 06
I have lately lost my post in the State, so I hay°
this day lost my usual post upon the Hustings,
When I' say to you, that I had no objection to meet
you sooner, I protest sincerely; that it gives me much
pleasure, amusement, and instruction, that lOr
sometimes honoured with your candid opinion upon
the Hustings. I think it your right and privilege,
upon such occasions, to tell your Candidates your
minds, and to tell it to.them bluntly and plainly 014
you do. v I confess, that neon the first day of rnY
coming here, there was a very acute and discerning
"person, who addressed me, and whom I regret nor
having seen here since ; he appeared to possess 35
much genuine humour and wit as any person I eves,`
saw."—(" lam here, Sherry," exclaimed a persolk
amongst the crowd.—" I am sure," continued 01;
Sheridan, " I am glad to find the person I alluded
to present upon this occasion, and I do not mean 10
the least to retract the compliments I have paid him t
and ; can assure him, that if political affairs had Dat
withdrawn my attention, of late, from the theatre:
I would back that person for writing% play against
all the authors who bring out the trash of the pre,.
sent day. There is another person I re4l et O°L,
having seen amongst you, I mean my honest broad_
-faced friend, Mr. Berridge ; because, although
was once a friend of mine, and deserted •me °
account of an unfounded calumny, raised, as o
my having betrayed, the city of Westminster we
the House of Northumberland, he "turned • 19
again„, whenever that calumny was done ay.l„ ,
with. I always thought him sincere and hotiou.l,r,
able in his heart, although he had a rough w'y
of eztpressing it. Gentlemen, I shall take the
