bear.) In darkness and in sorrow'he bad not despaired,
and be should not begin to despair of her in her hour
of sunshine.---(Cheers.) He would not deserve to sit
among them as their guest if he entertained for a moment
so inglorious a feeling. He would tell his P.4.,1P-Atrymen
when next he saw them, that they never had,
"fade cause
to despair as at the present moment. Tle
of hope was
raised to their lips, and he could ii„t ~-;ontern
dashed to the ground o:litaste plate its being
d. Ile had appeared before
them that day in tYie character of counsel for his native
land ; and from elle kind attention and respect with which
they bad listned to each word as it fell from his lips, he
felt assured that he might with confidence announce to his
fellow-countrymen in Ireland that the sea which had before
divided the t.vo countries was effectually dried up, aed that
they both now formed but the one land. The Hon. Gen-
tleman, in adverting to the character of the representatives
of Nottingham, passed the following eulogium upon Sir
Ronald Ferguson :—You have sent into Parliament a gal-
lant soldier, brave as his own sword, honest as chivalry ever
produced, free from that severity which military discipline
is wont too frequently to impart, adorned with all the vir-
tues of the British soldier, but possessing none of his faults.
The strongest proof of the patriotic sentiments and sterling
rectitude of the men of Nottingham was their selection of
such a man as their representative.
The Hon. Gentleman then sat down, after speaking for
exactly forty-five minutes.

The CifiismArt begged to claim their cordial_ concur-
rence in what he had to propose to them. ASter the elo-
quent address which they had just beard it would be bad
taste indeed if he attempted, by any &,servation of his, to
weaken its effect. He would therer.nre give them, without
much of preface, " Our brethren, the Reformers of Ire-
land, and success to their endeavours to obtain equal laws
for the three kinpdoms."
This toast, 'gas drank with great enthusiasm.
The CgAlamArt then proposed, " Sir R. Ferguson, and
the other Liberal Members for the town and county of
Nottingham in the House of Commons."
Sir It. FERGUSON said that it gave him great happiness
to present some few days since, in the House of Commons,
a petition signed by 6,000 of the honest men of Notting-
ham, in favour of Irish corporate reform. The inhabitants
of Nottingham had ever been foremost atnong the assertors
of civil and religious liberty ; and he was proud to see the
inhabitants of that town, of which he was the representa-
tive in the House of Commons, thus asserting their supe-
riority over those antiquated notions of sectarian prejudices
which constituted so great a social evil in these kingdoms.—
(Hear, hear.) After some further remarks, the Hon. and
Gallant Member said he thought it was his duty, liaving
been a member of the Carlow committee of inquiry, to
state that a more unfounded calumny never -proceeded from
the lips of man than the aspersion wt:teb it had been sought
to cast upon the Honourable 'Member for Dublin, with
reference' to that transactions -He (Sir Ronald Ferguson)
would tell them honestly and shortly that his mind was
made up, and that his ttiorough conviction was, that it was
one of the foulest conspiracies that ever was concocted by a
dying faction.—(E-athusiastic cheering.) They were threat-
enedwith a revival of that subject in the House of Com-
mons. He trusted in God that that inquiry would not
come on, for the wretched tools of the faction would, in
that event, be so exposed, as to render their condition truly
melancholy.—(Hear, hear.) He had the names of seve-
ral persons, some of whom moved in the highest and some
in the lowest circles, who were implicated in this conspiracy.
He had the names of some individuals who were employed
to get up evidence with the hellish (he had almost said) de-
sicxn of traducing a great patriot's reputation. In conclu-
sion be begged to assure them of the honest pride he felt in
representing a town which was always foremost in the ranks
of civil and religioas liberty. He trusted that the "No
Popery" cry would now cease at once and for ever.
The Gallant General sat down amidst the most enthusi-
astic cheers.

Lord RANCLIFFE then proposed, with all the honours,
the health of their worthy Chairman.
Drank with applause.
The CHAIRMAN briefly returned thanks.
The next toast was, " Colonel Thompson and the Re-
formers of Hull." •

------
The GALLANT COLONEL returned thanks, amid loud
applause.

The healths of " Lord Rancliffe," " Colonel Wildman,"
" Mrs. O'Connell and family," and " The Ladies of Not-
tingham," were then proposed by the Chairman, and drunk
with three times three and all the honours.
The Chairman, accompanied by Mr. O'Connell and the
several distinguished individuals who had occupied seats at
the principal table, then left the room(shortly before eleven
o'clock), and were almost immediately followed by the rest
of the Compar.y.
There never was a social meeting of this description
which passed off in a manner so calculated completely to
gratify the individuals who superintened its arrangements.

ENGLISH ROUTS AND LONDON

WOMEN.

Mrs. A. had appointed me to call upon her at eleven
o'clock in the evening to introduce me to the Duke of D.
(Devonshire). This, therefore, was the first English rout
at which I was present. Of course, it must be more inter-
esting to one who is acquainted with the company than
to a stranger ; but, on the other hand, the novelty adds to
the interest, and, from this superficial but natural view, I
will repeat, what you must, indeed, have often heard already.
The apartments and the arrangements were grand and
magnificent, but such as a very rich man makes for his
whole life, without regard to petty fashions, changes of
taste, and such French frippery, The rooms not too
small for the number of persons invited ; but, as else-
where, the greatest heat and the greatest crowd in the
vicinity of the ball-room. Almost all the gentlemen wore
black coats, pantaloons, black or grey stockings, black or
coloured waistcoats, and black or white stocks. There was
nothin remarkable or different from our customs ; even all
the cancers wore pantaloons. The ladies were, on the
wb.ole, dressed with simplicity and taste—their pearl and
diamond necklaces, and other ornaments, were rich ; but
they were, in no case, overloaded with them. Necks and
shoulders uncovered ; some had long ringlets, but none
wore the hair a la adnoise, or the, forehead quite bare—
most of them had curls on bot 3 sides; as represented in
the engravings. Hardly any t/•,:ing was danced but waltzes,
the room for which was much narrowed by the crowding
of the spectators. And tow, you ask, what do you say
of the main point, the 'beauty of the women ? Paris, who
has earned his fame so cheaply, had a much more easy
task of decidins,; 'between his three goddesses, than I have.
Though sp.tctacles are very little worn in company, or in
London generally, I nevertheless took courage, put on
mine, and commenced my examination, as a true lover and
connoisseur. When, however, I had determined that one
particular lady was the most beautiful, a second and a third
came and upset all my decisions. In my whole life I have
not seen so many beautiful women in ou• place, and I can
now 'understand Tieck's predilection for English women.
Yet, even in this moment of enthw::iasm and excitement, I
do not forget Roman women. I'l certain resemblance ex-
ists between tha two nations, though by no means in simi-
larity of form and expression, The Roman females (it
would seem) neglect their -waist, hips, and feet ; those of
England, the carriage of the neck and shoulders. The
men, yesterday, were certainly less handsome than the
women, which is also ',lle case in Berne, while in Naples,
again, the men are much handsomer than the women.
The company consisted of the richest and most .distin-
guished people, 131.114e5, Ambassadors, &c. Among us, the
three hundred 1-filiforms would have been covered with
crosses, star., P.nd orders ; here there was nothing of the
sort. Nearly e very one that was so decked was a foreigner.

RIVET% LYNHER.—The fame for mining riches so
long and ix) justly attributed to the river Tamar, whose banks
have T.olded such immense masses of sister, copper, tin, and
lead, 7.l.ppeiszs likely to be ri*alled in some degree by the sister
river Lynher. To the north-.east of St. Germans, and about
two-thirds t distance fre,m that town in the direction of
Crlllitigton, mining oprrations are very active, especially in
the park'a of Quiti.otock, in which Wheal Eurabeth, and
Whe...;,.1 Went Hooe, are supposed to be the most eligible min-
irc; tdventures. They are extensive setts containing silver
and lea' lodes,* Wheal West Hooe has been purchased by a
London Co'.tapany, and if worked with spirit is expected to
turn out r.ichly.—Devonport Independent.

LORI) LYNDHURST AS A SPEAKER.—Lord
Lyndh tvst cannot be said in the usual sense of the term, to
be an eloquent spcal,:er. His manner is infinitely too cold and
formal to give that effect to his matter, which, when spoken,
wcikild deserve the name of a high order of eloquence. When
Vs speeches are read, however, many p'Assages commend
themselves to one's mind as instinct with eloquence of a su-
perior class. His style is clear, perspi'euous, and simple in
no ordinary degree. It has a good cteal of the Addison in
it; it is always correct; it is polished, without being elabo-
rately so. He speaks with marvellous ease ; his sentences
-flow from him copiously and naturally; he scarcely ever has
to recal a word, nor could the most fastidious ear detect one
out of plac's,
neither t in the course of a long speech. His delivery is
too slow nor too rapid;
time. he never speaks long at a
!in comparison with the length at which some other
!C•011;te Lords would address the House on the same subject.
r4e is always listened to with the deepest attention by Noble
Lords of all shades of politics. The moment he rises, all is
quiet; and not a breath is to 1-• o heard till he has resumed his
seat. Independently of his universally acknowledged talents
as a debater, there is something in his very appearance and
manner calculated to command attention and respect. He
bas a fine manly figure, and the moment he rises and com-
mences his speech, there is, in addition to a very intelligent
countenance, a manifafit consciousness of his own intellectual
superiority—without any thing having the slightest resem-
blance to conceit—which cannot fail of ensuring attention and
respect from all preseut.—Bandom Recollections of the House
of Lords.
