ORATION OF M. ALEXANDRE DELABORDE
OVER ?n■ non"' Or
TABERY DE POMPIERES.

GEwrcrwrst—The loss of a good man Is always a calamity, a void
in the elite of the generation ; but when that man has pursued, during
nearly a century, a career of virtues, of disinterestedness, of resistance to
oppression, his loss may then be considered as a general calamity ; all
society believes itself struck by it, and the moral public, by manifesting
aloud its regrets, offers at once to the world the most useful lesson ; and
to the afflicted family, the sweetest consolation. Such is, Gentlemen,
the sentiment which animates us near the tomb of the venerable old
man whom we regret, of the patriarch of liberty, whose long career has
been a train of useful works, of services rendered to the country, in a
military and civil career. I will not speak to you of the first : the pet-
riodiad press has given the details; but I desire, in the name of my col-
leagues, to fix your attention upon his long legislative labour. Never
was zeal carried further; assiduity, sagacity to discover abuses, and
perseverance to combat them. The discourses of M. Labbey de Porn-
pieres form a kind of chronology of the vices of the Government, which
rarely triumphed, but which always drew something to the profit of the
people. Notwithstandinf, in these discussions his criticism. always
smart, was never bitter; his opposition, always energetic, was never
Inconsiderate ; this made even hie adversaries admire his sincerity, his
love of good, listen to his observations with interest, and receive even
his attacks with deference. But it was not alone to the science of
figures that he gave himself up; there arose sometimes from that gene-
rous soul elevated ideas--eloquent and even prophetic words. I will
cite to you a memorable example :—" The French," said he, "desire
liberty—they wish it—they will haw it : they will break, upon the
heads of their enemies, the fetters with which they would enchain
them " They !save broken these chains for ever. in the days of July;
and Fate permitted that the prophet of that grave event should be one
of the most zealous actors. PROVIDENCE willed that he should add
to his eighty years some days more of renown, on the 27th of July. He
presided over the Deputies assembled at the house of Casimir Perier,
the day after he appeared at the barricadoes ; and for which we
now deposit upon his tomb, the brilliant sign which we see
this day—that sign, Gentlemen, which I perceive adorns the breast
of many amongst you; and which we would all take,
were not some differences to be surmounted. The decoration of July,
I hope, will establish amongst those who receive the medals, a fraternal
tie of union, to support, against all danger, the institutions we have
founded, and to succour each other in our misforunes. We will
transmit these conditions to our children : we will say to them—
,' learn, that all those upon whom you sec that mark, are your bro-
there—your friends; because they have participated in the most glo-
rious events of history—an event that some chagrined spirits would In
vain deprecate, and which future ages will look upon with surprise;"
—an event, in fact, to which the King of our choice lately rendered
again, a brilliant homage, by repeating how much he appreciated the
glory, and that he would share in all its consequences. But, Gentle.
men, you observe that I am wandering away into worldly affairs,' near
a tomb which calls for the most solemn meditations: In that tomb
will be inclosed the good, the excellent colleague, whom we always
found foremost in our discussions at the Chamber, and who will appear
no more I But that tomb will enclose only his mortal remains; his
virtues, his generous sentiments, his courage, he has transmitted as the
most beautiful part of his inheritance, to the eloquent defender of our
liberties here 6. He would still prolong a life so extended and so
useful, and live a consolation to his family and his country. Vene-
rable old man I—Our dear and oldest friend—the shades of our cons.
pinions, Foy, Manuel, Girardin, will receive thee in their bosons.
We shall soon follow; fee the lives of ardent and Impassioned ens
are rarely prolonged like thine; that we may each in our turn be re-
ceived with affection, we will strive to follow tby exam* v and we
will consecrate, like thee, our last days to tbs welfare of Rance, and
the cause of humanity.

• General Lafayette.

This extraordinary personage has for many years taken up her resi-
dence at Sidon, and in all probability will end her days in that re nu..:
region of the world. Her power is described as great. She is beloved
by the Arabs, and profuse in her acts of h.:nevolenee. ll'e have
following particulars respecting her Latly,!..ip:
She is tall and dignified in her deportmem, and adopts the costume
peculiar to the East. She sits cross-legged, eats alone, smokes the b.lO/'
pipe, and talks the Arabic language, assuming all the dignity of a pert.
cess, a title by which she is often called. Having inquired, rottu'g
other particulars, if her ladyship, who is now in the evening of It r
days, entertained an idea of returning to spend the remainder of tlirm
Rnaland, was told it was very unlike!), from her strong u:tachtnym
Sidon, that she would ever quit it ; and that her remains would. in
probability, repose in that remote quarter of the world, in *Lich she h;
resided so long that she now held herself quite natur.dized in it. At
here would I take the opportunity of confirming, from all I beard
different quarters, the sentiments expressed by this irdivi.itial, not em
with respect to the marked affection and intern* manifested l
her ladyship towards the people of Sidon, and those in the East
in general, but the acts of generosity exercised by her ; and,
I may add, she is perfectly idolized here, and has great
power with the Ottoman Porte and the pach is. Many anecdotes tniglit
'be introduced of her ladyship, did my limits permit. It may be bri. fly
emendated, that she was the first British female who paid a visit to Psi-
sera, where she was actually crowned queen, and wide some degree
teeremony. One cause which has been assigned for her retirement. i
aka pointment in her attachment to a gallant commander, who fel
, and on expiring desired her relative to remember him to her.—

was waylaid in the adjoining mountains, which she had warned
him to avoid, and was murdered ; on which a powerful body of
men, led be this heroine, proceeded to the spot, and discovered the
criminals. Attempts have been made to invade her own demesne, and
even some of those she patronised were sacrificed ; in shorcsbe has been
exposed to the greatest dangers, which she has resisted with the courage
of a lioness, brandishing sword in hand. Her domestics were at one
time numerous, but have gradually paired off; tired of a itionote.
sous life. Although living, in general, most retired, yet she Is not
at all ignorant of what is going on in Great Britain or Europe, as to
politics or otherwise ; and her mind is stored with interesting anec-
dotes of the-most distinguished members of both houses of parliament
she had met with at the late prime minister, Pitt's. Her cortespon .
dense with the lamented Duke of York was voluminous, and unintcr •
turned for years. In short, if she has kept a journal of all ht r eatri-
ordinary adventures, and those incidents which have occurred duri- I
her sojourn here, and it should happen to be published after 11.. e
death, it would perhaps form one of the most interesting works on
the East that could appear from the pen of any one.°
Lady atanhope is nearly allied to the late 3fr. Pitt, and to many
families of rank. She long directed her attention to his domestic con-
cerns, lived under his roof, and still enjoys a handsome pension from
the British government, which I should conceive, on a calculation of
the value of money and prices of articles, may be of nearly three times
the value here that it is in England. No person, in short, can be held
in higher estimation, and more beloved ; het name, even to the very
lowest class, is always in the mouth of the tribes of Arabs,
by whom she Is sometimes styled " Princess," and at ano-
ther, " My Leddie ;" and thousands of them would, upon an
emergency, be at her command, and lay down their lives in her cause.
Any letter of recommendation, indeed, under her hand, in favour of
travellers, may be considered as a sufficient passport, and sure to meet
with proper attention ; indeed I should be as satisfied in travelling in
this country with her passport as with the firman of the Grand
(feigner.
Should it excite surprise that her ladyship, who is of a highly culti-
vated mind, and an English woman by birth and education, prefers to
live in this remote corner of the earth, widely separated from her friends
in England.—and sarcastic sneas have been moat reprehensibly thrown
out on this account, may it not be asked, if she is not unqiestionably
the most competent judge to choose a climate suited to her own health
and circumstances, and where she may contribute most to the happi-
ness and comfort of her fellow creatures ? How can her right to this
election he called in question, any more than that the reader or his
friends of either sex should be blamed for fixing upon any particular
spot on the continent or elsewhere. as a permanent residence, either for
the benefit of health, economy, retrenchment, the promotion of benevo-
lent objects, or other proper considerations ?—Roe Wilson's Travois

THE CONVICTS ORDERED FOX EXECUTION.

The two unhappy men George Widgett and John Broach, whose
lives are about to be sacrificed to the offended laws of their country,
were convicted at the Sessiens. Old Bailey, in April, the former of
sheep stealing, and the latter of stealing in she dwelling house of
Captain Patterson, in Cadogan.place. Neither of them had pre-
viously been known as criminals, but the crimes for which they are
to suffer were of a very aggravated description. Widgett, who is
about 60 years of age, was formerly • man of some prop.tty. and
in • respectable way of huslntAs As a farmer at runbridge.
wells, which he quitted eight or nine years since, and lite ot.e
a cowkecper and dairyman near the Hackney.read, but appears
to have been unTortunate in that and in every specclation in
which he engaged. Two or three years ago he was 'saline) of ..
puLlic.house in Ros.emary.latie, frequented by some of the worst cha-
racters of the neielibohrhood, bat tailed in that business, and after.
wards returned to Tunbridge.wells with the wreck of his property, and
commenced business as a butcher, with no better somas; and dually
came again to Loodon. a few weeks befire he was apprehended opened
I a small butcher's shop in Long-alley, tihoreditdt, but had no furniture
ir. the house, and appeared altogether in vay low circumstances.—
He was convicted of stealing fifty-one sheep the property of
Mr. Stone. of Chelafield, from an enclosure belonging to Mr.
Tyler, at Lewisham. where they had been put to graft since
last November. It appears that he had been.apon a short visit to Tun.
bridge, and stole the a as he was returning, in the night between the
sid and 4.h of March. e was seen upon the road driving them, aid
they were traced to his place in Long.slley, where he immediately eon..
reaej
menced killing them,and the carcasses were taken in small lots to sales-
-1 men in Newgate and Leadenhall markets, but had been so hurriedly
and badly dressed that they sold for very low prices t 13 of the slabs
were found at the house In Long-alley, and identified as Mr. titone,.'s
I property; and Widgets, on being apprehended by Attfield, the
officer, mentioned a salesman to whom he had sold other 20 skills,
which were accordingly traced and identified. It has 'ins been ascer-
tained that the remaining 13 sheep *ere killtd at a place near the
Hackney-mad. The prisoner accounted for the sheep in his possession
by saying that he bad purchased thirty-eight for 301. of a man whom
he did not know, in Old-street. In killing and disposing of the sheep,
he was assisted by his son and another man. neither of whom has been
in custody.
The other convict, John Broach, is • young married man, 29 years
of age. Captain Patterson bad known him for many years, had the
highest opinion of his integrity. and on quitting town in October in-
trusted him with the house in Cadogan.place. Upon the return of the
1 family in December, a false key, which had been left in the lock of a
11 drawer, attracted the captain's attention ; and upon examination, it
was discovered that jewellery, plate, and books, of very considerable
value. had been stolen. The charge of stealing them was clearly ems.
blished against Broach, who, it appeared, had carried them off at dif-
ferent time*, unobserved by a female servant who was in the house.
The convict Widgttt seemed from the first to regard his cute as hope.
less. The young moo Broach expressed anxiety for his wife and family
rather than for himself. As already stated, he bad previously borne a
good character; but the alarming extent to which robberies by confi-
dential persons has lately prevailed seemed to call for a severe example,
land be is accordingly doomed to pay the utmost penalty of his crime.
LUDICROUS CASE OF ROBBERY.—A few days ago a
robbery was committed which caused a great laugh against
the tradesman who was plundered. A well-dressed " vic-
timizer,"whose general apparel a pair of very indifferent shoes
I disgraced, walked into a bootmaker's shop in the city, and
asked for a particularly neat pair of Wellingtons. Be was
rather a fastidious customer, but the master of the shop at
1 last fitted him with great exactness. " What's the price ?"
said he, stamping with his right foot to fasten himself im-
moveably in the new purchase. Before an answer could be
given, in darted a stranger to the shop, struck tho booted
customer a violent blow in the face, knocked him fiat, arid
then ran off. The insulted person leaped up, with she blood
streaming from his nose, and crying out, " where is the
villain who assaulted me ?" ran out at full speed to catch
the aggressor. " I wonder," said the owner of the
shop, " will the gentleman catch that 'ere rascal wot
hit him so sharp. I am afraid the boots will cramp
him ; I thought they was too tight, and it's a pity
if the fellow escapes." " Catch him !" said the
shopman, looking at the old pair of mudplungeni
which the " victimizer" left behind, " I'll be blest if they
'ant both in it fast enough."—" What !" said the muter.
" do you mean to say that the gentleman with the bloody
nose won't come back."—" To be sure I do," answered the
shopman. " What would he come back for? flas'nt be
got a good. pair of boots for his bloody nose ?"
