CHRIsVi HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday being St. Mat-
thew's Day, or the Annual Oration Day of this
Hospital, the LORD MAYOR, Sheriffs, and Gover-
nors of the several Royal Hospitals, proceeded
in state to Christ Church, Newgate-street, where
they attended divine service, and heard an appro-
priate sermon from the Rev. John Greenwood,
A. M. Atter service, they proceeded through the
cloisters to the Great Hall of Christ's Hospi!al,
where, with a crowded and fashionable audience
of Ladies and Gentlemen, they received much
pleasure from the youthful exertions of Master
Charles Stephens Matthews, and Master Frederick
Iliff, the two Senior Scholars of the Grammar
School of that Institution, who delivered two
Orations—one in Latin by the former, and one
in English by the latter. After the Orations, the
Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Governors, and Company
in general, bestowed some pecuniary reward on
the youthful orators.

We rejoice to find from the Dublin Papers,
that all attempts to encourage Radical Reform
Meetings have failed in Ireland. The lower classes
in that country are obliged to work for their
bread, and have no poor rates to subsist on ; they,
therefore, have no ;ime to devote to meetings of
this description.

ON A LATE ATTEMPT

WHITE-WASH MR. BROUGHAM.

(From " BLACKWOOD'S Edinburgh Magazine.")

The Whigs, while they chaunt -their eternal
hymn to, the progressive influence of public opi-
nion, modestly assume that the change must be
altogether in their favour, and that nothing more
is necessary than to enlighten mankind, in order
to ensure the triumph of their party. What is the
basis on which this forlorn sect found their pre-
dictions and their hopes ? Is it, that they have
shown an unquestionable superiority of intellect,
and have preceded, by a great and palpable in-
terval, the rest of their. fellow citizens in the
march of improvement ? Is it,•that with unswerv-
ing fidelity they have guarded the ark of the Con-
stitution, or vindicated the honour of their usurped
appellation, by some great exploit of political
heroism, which might have endeared them to
their country, as- the preservers of its liberty, or
the champions of its independence, in some dark
hour of its destiny ? Ig it, that they have reached
some proud intellectual eminence, presenting
more expanded survey, and a purer atmosphere,
than that breathed by other and humbler men,
that they congratulate themselves hi the spirit of
the most gracious self-Adulation on the progress
of knowledge, and propagate with so much zeal
the convenient opinion, that it is only neces*tir y
that the public mind should be awakened trom its
torpor, to make it look .40 in solemn admiration
of their celestial conclave ? We know of no ade-
quate grounds to justify this offensive self-com•
placency ; and .when we look hack on the history
of the party for the last thirty years ; on their
strange tergiversations, and portenteus blunders ;
on their proved ignorance of the true interests of
their country, and their cold contempt of its on-
perishable fame ;—when we find them lavishing
their atrocious plaudits on the fiercest of its ene-
mies ; damping the most heroic exertions by their
gloomy forebodings, and standing through a long
succession of perilous years in banded. array
against its triumphant genius ;--we most say,
that if public opinion, which is fast developing its
energies, shall recognise them either as its cham-
pions or its allies, it will exhibit itself in a shape
entirely at variance with our anticipations, and
utterly alien to the spirit of enlightened patriot-
ism.

We feel assured, at all events, that public opi-
nion, which the Whigs take so much credit to
themselves for having formed and exalted, is al-
ready pretty much settled, as to ;the conduct of
one of their most clamorous leaders on the sub-
ject, to which we mean shortly to direct the at-
tention of our readers in the course of this paper.
Here, at any rate, there is no room for doubt or
hesitation ; and the conduct of Mr. Brougham
will be equally condemned by every human crea-
ture who can master the ordinary distinctions be-
tween right and wrong. We do not know that
so bold a project of wayward ambition has ever
been formed under a regular government, as that
which appears to have been engendered in the
meek and humble bosom of this patriot hater of
tyranny, and privileged declaimer against corrup-
tion. If we search the page of English history,
we shall find nothing, even in the most daring
measures of her proudest Ministers, to equal the
temerity, or in their most dexterous movements, to
rival the art with which Mr. Brougham's Charita-
ble Inquisition was conceived and organized—no,
not even in the memorable but fatal project of
Mr. Fox himself, to grasp an Indian empire, and
to make the splendid patronage of the east an
heir-Foom of the party over which he presided.
Great undertakings become a lofty and original
mind, and it does credit to the genius of Mr.
Brougham, that when he meditated an invasion
of the Constitution, be took a flight of ambition
above the ordinary pitch, and lett all paltry and
grovelling competition far behind. In his com-
prehensive sweep, he endeavoured to include no-
thing less than the universal charity and educa-
tion of this great country : to bring within his
grasp, and reduce to his sole subjection, all the
splendid endowments which beneficence and piety
have contributed to mitigate the evils of poverty,
to cure the reproach of ignorance, or exalt the.
standard of national taste and refinement ; to
subject to his own arbitrary controul, or that of
his dependents, the accumulated treasures, and
the consequent influence of many centuries of
pious liberality, in the most liberal and pious of
the European states.

Attend fof a moment to the character of Mr.
Brougham's proceedings. This patriotic citi-
zen, observing with dismay the prevailing ig-
norance, and consequent depravity of the lower
orders of the Metropolis, claimed the interposition
of the Legislature for mitigating the enormous
evil, and volunteered encountering the toil and
anxiety of the laborious investigation. His bene-
volence and patriotism were applauded by all
parties ; his charitable views abetted and encou-
roged ; and the first unequivocal direction of his
talents to objects of public utility, was hailed as
an important acquisition to the public service. It
was pleasing to reflect, that the ardent and inde-
fatigable spirit of Mr. Brougham would now be
devoted to the culture of a field which promised
full employment, and offered a rich and honour-
able reward to his enterprising patriotism ; and
which appeared, from the quiet and beneficent na-
ture of the vocation, happily to exclude every se-
duction of a sordid or factious character, to which
the reputation of men of a bustling genius has so'
often been sacrificed. The inquiry was of a na-
ture purely charitable, and every thing selfish was
of course forbidden ; the work was one of public
beneficence,, and its very aspect appeared a gua-
rantee against the lUirillion of all that is sour and

sullen in party distinctions ; and the friends and
opponents of Mr. Brongliam alike rejoiced in the
prospect now presented for the first time, of con-
templating the nAtive eneigy of his character,
excited by the stimulus of parry di-ssensioil—
mild, placable, gracious, and torbearin;4 ; an ex-
act personification, in short, of the genius of hu-
mane and enlightened legidation.
