Mr. Curran-into. his own excellent harannie. The
‘c di;astrous battle,s in which the liberties of Ireland
had been cloven down," -and several other felicitie,
of the Master of the Rolls were sele6ted with ini'
accuracy, and flamed in the van of Do'
O'Connell's numerous rhetorical forces. Mri:
O'Connell then concluded a most animated spedby anticipating the reign of an Irish King, wil°'

'O'CQuileii •to explain. This Mr. O'Connell Per:
formed by relyrring to the 'pedigree of gn Irish
Chieftain, from whicb he clearly demonstrated .that
an intermatriage had taken place betweeri a female
ancestor of the said Chieftain and one of the progq
nitors• of Its present Majesty, about the ---
wry. This beautiful .genealogical'allusion was re"
ceived with deserved applause. • •

Mr. WILLIS (breeches-mker) next advanced the
honours of his head,
.and
,conclUded a judicious
speech by moving that a piece of plate value One
hundred guineas should be presented to Sir James,
Riddall as a slender' testimony of lbe regard whic7
the meeting eiftertaM a°"ed for his worth, probity,
patriotism.

Si/ James-endeavoured to blush during.this pine'
-gyric, and anxiously exerted 'himself, to prevent
the piece of plate from being voted. All his.scro-
-ples.were however silenced by the eloquent ratioci-
nation of " 1; is not," said this 'accoru-
pltsbed orator, .! for the hicre. of the thing that w.e
vote this piece of plate to the Worthy Sheriff, but
that. he may hilve the satistaaton when he is dead
and rotten in his grate, to have descendants who
will point to the c.,rner of their parlour and say'
thete's`the piece of plate that was vuted to our fore'
father for saving trek-Ind.".
