LORD ELLENBOROUGH.

-
The following report of a speech made by his Lordship at
a ball and supper given to him at Calcutta is published in the
Calcutta Star. It is certainly a strange production if the
report is correct :
" Sir (said his Lordship, addressing the President), I thank
you for the honour you have done to me in proposing my
health, and I thank all those who are present for the cordial
manner in which they have responded to your call. It is
true what the Honourable Chairman has said, I had power
and influence in England—there was no measure connected
with India in which I did not possess thegreatest influence—
most people COlllO to this country to make their fortunes—but
I came here to do my duty, and because I deemed that
in India I could be of most service to the coun-
try. I have met with opposition, but I have put
down all opposition that may arise. I have done
my duty. I have never abused patronage. I am ready to
sacrifice fortune, my life if necessary.—(Vehement cheeermg
for several minutes.) I do not ears for any man living.
Whoever best serves the Sthte is my friend.—(Cheers.) So-
the cares of the day are over, we are a social set.—(Cheers.)
icti.etyNhoemreanis inheraestisraindgle,e state.andno Tmhaenreiars

We have met to-day to be agreeable, and therefore I banish
esWabl?eunt
politics. But I say again I have done my duty.—(Great
cheering, and cries of bravo," "go it.") Hitherte my mea-
sures have all been triumphant and successful.—(Cheers.) I
take no credit for that. How far they may continue suc-
cessful Heaven only knows ; at all events it will not be my
fault. I deserve success—that's a fact.—(Cheers.) I have
sought out merit in the army, and rewarded it.—(Loud
cheers.) I intend to do so in future. I am come amongst
you like an English gentleman among his tenants. If you
receive me politely, well and good ; if not, it is your fault,
not mine.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, I drink to you all."—
(Tosses off a bumper of Burgundy, amidst rapturous ap-
plause.)
Lord Ellenborough (continues the Star) is described to
us to have been in a state of considerable excitement
while speaking, which is the only way to account for the
exaggerated tone of his reply. We have heard of more
than one lady who was rather alarmed at the exhibition,
and no wonder, when a friend of remarkable nerve and self-
possession could find, in describing to us his manner, no other
parallel than that of Coriolanus addressing the plebeians. The
idea of physical force is rife throughout the brief address;
no mention is made of the ladies who were present, although
so materially aiding in the effect of the compliment paid to
the speaker, and certainly the best part of that society assem-
bled to do him honour; nothing prevails in the speech but a
reduplication of eternal I's, and no rhetorical figure is employed
beyond the characteristic metaphor of the voie de faite. "I
will break down opposition—/ have beaten down opposition."
Why the need of so much fire ? What is the dreaded "oppo-
sition" of which so much is said? Who is there here to
oppose ?Is it his Council tbat he points at ? or—we are fairly
at a loss for a query.

DESPERATE ATTACK BY THE POLICE ON GAM-

very determined attack was made by the police upon 11

stairs into the different rooms. In some o the houses the
gambling was going on, when, upon the noise of the police
entering being heard, a general attempt was made to escape.
The police, however, succeeded in capturing several persons,
and also getting possession of the rouge et noir tables, the 100
tables, the cues, &c., when these, with the prisoners of the
police, were taken to the station-house of the C divisiOlvin
Vine-street, where they were safely lodged.
REPRESIRT A.TION OF SOUTH LANCASHIRE.
MANCHESTER, TUESDAY.—The death of Mr. Wilbraham,
one of the Members for the northern division of the county,
was a complete surprise to the inhabitants of this district.
Immediately upon the truth becoming known, the Anti-
Corn-law League announced that they would bringforward a
candidate upon free-trade principles. Who that candidate
may be is at present all conjecture; but an impression exists
that Lord Morpeth will be the man, if he should choose to
" come out" full on " the question of free trade."
THE NEXT MAILS not bunk, &C.—POST-OFFICE
NoncE.—Yesterday morning the following notice wasposted
up in the lobby of the Post-office, St. Martin's-le-Grand :—.
