OPIUM A CORRISPONDINT OP TUE DUBLIN MORNING POST)
a mai, on Friday morning, (the 15th last.) at Ils quarters In the New
Atrark, Cork, Moori-e Will, tisq. Surgeon of the lit Veteran Garrison
talla:1 "—Draffia ,Morn‘nr Post, Jorge 21.
Who is there that has not heard of Maurice Quill?
What Officer that has served in the Peninsula, and who is
yet unable to gave one of the thousand jests and jukes,
'the jolt; de utots,flie jeers &esprit, and the quaint con-
ceits of the laughter-loving, fon-producing Maurice?—
These jests, with.which he was wont not only to set the
Able in a roar, hut .to enliven the gloomy wards of the
Military Hospitalto shake with mirth the bare walls of
the temporary guard-house—to cheer amid the damp bi-
same—and to exhilarate in the roar of battle. "Alas,
r Maurice!" "And, could not so much wit keep in a
life?"
r. Quill was a native of Tralee, the capital of " the
of Kerry," as it issalled in Ireland. lie was ap-
oted A S seistanturgeon of the 31st Regiment of Foot,
eltet-year'
nilBo9, and followed that regiment to the Pe-
-4;1"3
la. Subsequent to his leading, be contrived to utopia
for many months at Baylent, in Portugal; but after much
manoeuvring to.avold " joining° at bead quarters Maurice
was " ordered up," peremptorily. by the Duke of Welling-
ton. His reputation for wit, one ioality, and consequently
"for " idling, 'all who came within the sphere' of his ink-
ence was such, that the morning after he had " joined," his
Colonel (the gallant Duckworth), waited upon Lori Hill.
(of whose division of the army the 31stformeil a part,) and
with unaffected regret and parity, reported the arrival of.
Maurice, and the consequent termination of discipline in
the regiment. The Beneral uttered the most dreadful de-
nuncia,ions against " Mr. Maurice," (as be -called him,)
should the fears of the Colonel be realised—but he became
ulltnately extremely partial to the droll, eccentric Maurice.
Quill was one of the finest specimens of Irish Character
that has appeared in our day. He possessed in an extraor-
dinary degree, all the wit, humour' andlove of " Badinage"
that distinguish his countrymen. To the originality of his
conceptions, the oddness of Otis remarks, and the strange-
ness of his phraseology, the richness of his brogue gave
peculiar poignancy. He lovo ease, good living, ant so-
Arty; of the latter he was always certain, if, indeed, ii.
happened Moe to be in a desert: fur, so &towline was he,
that his quarters were the remit-serfs of all the officers who
could, by possibility. repair to theta, to "beguile the tedium
of the winter's night;' unless such as were, unfortunately,
from their rank, denied that pleastre in observance of mili-
tary etiquette. The rush light in his tent or lodging, was
a beacon to the exhausted and spirited soldier. L have said
he loved Badinage, and was witty; but his wit was never
barbel by the slightest touch of ill-nature or offensive per-
salmility. He was brave, hut affected cowardice ; and gave
Inch whimsical expression tolls assumed fear", as provoked
leughter in the hottest engagement. Of this, his conduct
4 the dreadful and bloody battle of Albuera will be * suf•
licient example.
Quill had, unnecessarily, followed" the regiment" into
lire," as it is termed; creeping en his hands and knees
with boyish tricks, lie traversed the rere of the line, palling
the officers by their coats and tendering his brandy bottle;
saving," Here, take a eiartmgore you get a ballet. Have
a ileoch an. d'hurras (a drink at the .door) before you de-,
pd.?. A mass ofthit enemy's cavalry, including a regi•
sent of Polish Lancers, prepared to charge the 31st.—
Colonel Duckworth ordered the regiment to form in square,
in the centre of which be discovered Maurice shaking from
head to foot with well dissembled terror. " This is no
place for you, Mr, Ibianslce."said the lamented Dacksvorth,
a few minutes before his fall—" By J— I was just think-
ing so, Colonel," replied the drole—" I wish to the Holy
Father that the greatest rascal in Ireland was kicking' me
this moment up Dame-street, and.that (even though) every
friend I have in the world.was looking at him !' Finding,
it impossible to break the square. the enemy's cavalry retir-
ed with great loss, when, ordering the regiment to deploy,
" Fall in," said the Colonel—" Fall out,' said Maurice,
and scampered off; but hearing that a Captain of the regi-
ment was severely wounded, lie returned into fire, and
dressed him. He just finished this operation, when a
twelve pound shot struck the ground near Maurice and his
patient, and covered them with earth—" By J— there is
more where that came from," said Quill, and again took
to his heels.
Of the 'nature of his replies to the many questions with
which ha was assailed by his Colonel, who was induced
to ask them by the suggestions of those better acquainted
with his manner—and to give a striking specimen of Quill's
character, 1 shall add one more instance:—" I am desirou
to know, Mr. Maurice," said the Colonel, "to what good
fortune we can ascribe your appointment to the thirty:first?"
"Why, Colonel," (with affected embarrassment.) " I left
the —, became* some of the spcons belonging to the
mess were found in my kit, and you know that would not
do in one of Me crack regiments, Colonel—l joined the
thirty-first, because I had a brother, in the thirty-second,
and I wanted to be near him." •
Of his professional abilities I know nothing—that they
were not held in high estimation, would appear from the
,fact of his not having been promothed dining the Peninsu-
lar war. That he despaired of advancement after the war
terminated, was obvious, from his reply to a friend who
asked him what rank he IselJ4l Why, I have bean thira
teen years an Assistant Surgeon, and, with the blessing of
liod—that is, ;II live and behave myself, I shall be so for
thirteen years more." I am pleased to observe, that this
prophecy was not verified, and that he had been promoted
to the rank of fall Surgeon before his death. Mr. Quill
died ypung—he must have been under 40 years of age.—
of paareiboriewit might be truly said, that lie possessed
