LORD DARNL4Y.

Lord Darnley followed Lord Camden, but was received
with laud and vehement Looting. This nobleman is con-
sidered to be very proud, without bOag armpit, and to
have as full consciousness. of the dignity and rights of his

order, as Lord Grey could charge any Whig disciple to en-
tain. -He must have been deeply galled when he perceived
that his rank and wealth were only turned into scoff, and
when in the outset of his speech, a common boor cried out,
" That.there fellow is an Hirishmaik. Tim, put a potato
down his threat, and choke his - Hirish jaw." He'
was not deterred from going► on by the howling* which
surrounded him, and with far more intrepidity than I,
should have been disposed to give him credit for, he pro-
ceeded with his speech. He soon, however, received a
blow, which wounded him much more than the potatoe

proposition ; for the moment he began to talk of his
estate in Ireland (where he has a very large property,)
several people cried out, " Why don't you live on your
estate, and be - to you, and every other - ab-
sentee !" This Will a thrust which it was impossible to
parry. Lord Darnley endeavoured to proceed; but the
uproar became so terrible, that not a word which he ut-
tered could be heard in the tumult. Whatever faults the
Clubbists may have committed,. any excessive deference to
rank and wealth was not on this occasion, at least, among
their defects; and, indeed, with the exception of Cobbett
and Shell, no man was listened to with more angry impa-
tience than the Noble Earl. After speaking- for about
twenty minutes, he sat down with evident marks of disap-
poiutment and personal mortification.
LORD WINCIIELSEA.

Lord Winchelsea proceeded to deliver himself of a quan-
tity of common-place against the Catholic religion, amidst
the vehement plaudits of his own faction, intermingled
with strong marks of disapprobation from the right.
" Mushroom Lori—upstart—go mind your rabbits, and
the Papists are not poachers," were the cries of the liberal
party; while the Brunswickcrs exclaimed, "Bravo, Win-
ebelsea !" and waved their bats, as with the lungs of
Stentor, with the gesture of a pugilist, and the frenzy of
a fanatic, he proceeded. Although utterly destitute of
idea, and though scarcely one distinct notion per-
haps could be detected in his speech, yet Lord Winchelsea,
by the energy of his action, and the impetuosity of his
manner, and the strong evidences of rude sincerity about
him, made an impression upon his auditors far greater
than the cold didactic manner of 'Lord Camden or Lord
Darnley was calculated to produce. There can he no
greater mistake than the supposition that the English
people are not fond of ardent speaking, and of a vehement
rhetorical enunciation. Lord Winchelsea is perfectly de-
nuded of knowledge, reflection, or command of phrase;
yet by dint of strong feeling he contrives to awaken a
sympathy which a colder speaker, with all the graces of
eloquence, could never attain. He seems to be in down-
right earnest; and bough his personal vanity may be
an ingredient in hislllincerity, it is certain, whatever be
the cause, that his ardour and vehemence arc far more
powerful auxiliaries to his cause than the contemplative
philosophy of the Whigs, who, contented with their cold
integrity of purpose, adopted no efficient means to bring
their tenants to the field, am: encounter their opponents
with the weapons which were so powerfully wielded against
them. After haring whirled himself round, and having
beaten his breast and bellowed fur about half an hour, Lord
Winchelsea sat down in the midst of the constitutional ac-
clamations of the Brunswieliers; and Mr. Sheil and Mr.
Shea, an 'English Catholic gentleman, both presented
themselves to the Sheriff. The Sheriff gave a preference
to Mr. Shea, who made a bold manly speech, but watt in-
terrupted by the continued hootings of the Protestant
party."
