THE LATE mom v.: sHERI DAN, Esc..

-SKETCH rf the LIFE of the tote Throms SnritinAN,'Esq
drawn by one of his Staftad.slare
." Flom a former personal knowledge of Mr
Tiromas SHERIDAN, and having enjoyed a fre-
quent correspondence with him, we happen .to
kuow something of his character, and mote of
his virtues. Tom (for in speaking of
cannot divest Om-selves (If thoQe tamiliar',,ppella-
tions which are associated %rill) all our recoils' C-
-11011 Of hint), in the better days of his health, was.
not one.of those-commou Bun Vicants, and men y
fellows, whose friends-hip begins and ended with tit:
circuit of the bottle. ThoagA,
,aursed in the smiles
of a Court, at a -time when et ,inent parent
moved in all the radiance of his genius,.'Pom had
-nothing of the Courtier about him. lie was
gay, honest, jolly, and sincere. At one time
there was ,not a Gala or Rout in Town, hilt
TOM Sheridan was the Star of the party.
At the Masquerade, Tom was the moat amusing
and original character—at the Convivial, he teas
the best singer—at the Dance, he was the very
Yestris of the " fantastic" motion—at the Pugi-
listic Club, he was the neatest sparrer—'at the Fires
Court, he was the most active and successful
player—at a generous action, Torn was the first
to offer his purse and his patrottage—over the
bottle, Toni was the last of his party ; and he
could find some reason for a bumper, when the te-
sources of every other man had failed. ,• He was
so fair a drinker, it became a common saying-,
-that you might drink with Tom in the dark."
His test of fidelity to the bOttle was,—" if you
are able to go, you are• able to stay." Yet
amid all the conflicting nature of these various
and opposite acquirements, Tom was both a gen-
tleman and a scholar. He was a kind of Pocket
Edition of his father: and what is more :o he.
wondered at, and more to he admireal,,trithout,
any of his Father's great errors—Tom was a man of
his word: Yon had not the capaciousness, and
commentary and luminous detail of the parent
book—but. you had,' a synopsis of every. chapter ;
from the grandeur of its loftiest sentiment, to its
merriest and meanest plea. .
" !otitis effort to get into the electioneering.
shoes of his' father, at Stafford, Tom was tinsuc...
cessful, They.were a bad pair ; and bat' been
worn out before they were offered to hint. On
the above occasion; he brought down --
a -man who could speak with equ--.1 success against
time and reason. -- was one of those men,who,
from his ipternp.z.rance, " cooled " Sheridan's
"•friends," and " heated• his enemies." Harry,
alias 0. P. Clifford,- was the " speaking- trumpet"
Tom., opponent. one of these occasions,
Tom addressed the Barrister, with. " Hirry Clif-
ford I. stand forth I" and a more eotuplete instance
of splendid eloquence, and raking satire, we
never heard delivered. It was unanswered, be-
cause it was unanswerable,. Harry knew he had
the Burgesses upon a diffet'ent tacit to Unit of fine
speaking; .and replied " go on
,with the poll." He
had made a liroper'estimate .of. the' Polls of the
Burgesses. Tom carried back with It 'to town
more of the friendship, amid good wishes of his
friends, than success pet hales could have given him ;
• and the name of Tont'Sheridan Will be remembered
in Stafford, and associated with its brightest days,
as long as some of the heir of the .1(r school con-
tinue to shed a Bing, gem-like radialict .on its
history."
