London, England, 1812-10-29 00:00:00

Ignorance of this unquestionable truth, that so much
of this agitated globe has, in all ages, been crawled
over by a Manx population. This • discovery, at
Last, Ireland has made—tfie Catholic claimed his
Tights—the Protestant generously and nobly felt as
he ought, and seconded the claim--a silly Govern-
ment was driven to the despicable courage of
cowardice, and resorted to the odious artillery of
prosecutions; the expedient failed, the question
Inade its way to the discussion of the Senate.-1 will
not tire you (said he) with a detail—an House of
Commons, who, at least represented themselies,
perhaps afraid, perhaps ashamed of their employers,
became unmanageable tools in the hands or such
awkward artists, and were dissolved ; just as a
beaten gamester throws the cards into the fire, isrp
hopes in a new pack to find better fortune. Gentlest
. men (continued Mr. Curran), I was well awn," at('
my rising, that you expected nothing like amuse-)
ment from :what I had to say—that my duty
was to tell .you. plain and important truthsr-to
lay before you, without. exaggeration or reserve, a
fair statement of the causes that have acted upora the
national fortune—of the causes that have put you
down, and that may raise you up; to possess you
with a fair idea of , your-present position—of what
you have to fear—of what you have to hope—and
how you ought to act.. When I speak of your pre-
sent yositiont.l:wouid not haves you suppose shot.l
n the actual.situation_of the Borough of Newry ;.
or, that I'thinlejt nsuch worth while to dwell upon
the foolish insolence, with which a besotted Cabinet
has thought fit!torinsultsou, by sending a stranger
to your country and your interests, to obtain a mo-
*winery victory over your integrity, by..tneans of
which none of ypu are ignorant." . • 5.,,
[llere-Mr. Bell, an agent fOithe.Goa. eral, stood
up and fixed his eyes upon the 'Masts, of the Rolls,
with a very peculiar expression of countenince4 •
" Mr. Seneschal (said Mr.:Curran), I demand ef
you, as Returning Clacer, that I, a Candidate, shall
be protected, as.you are ig duty bound to do, from
being disturbed by the obscene and unnatural gri-
maces
of a Baboon."
[Mr. Jebb, the Counsel for the Seneschal, im-
mediately interposed, and ordered Mr. Bell to sit
down.]
Mr. Curran resumed—" I do not wonder at hav-
ing provoked interruption, when I spoke of your
borough—l told you that from this moment it is free.
Never in my life have I so felt the spirit of the peo-
ple, as among you—never have I so felethe throbs
of returning, life—l almost forgot my
sown habitual
estimate of my own small importance—l almost ;
thought it was owing to some energy within myself,
when I was lifted and borne on upon the buoyant
surge of popular sympathy and enthusiasm. I,
therefore, again repeat it—it is the moment of your
new birth unto righteousness—your proved friends
are high among you—your developed enemies are I
expunged for ever—your liberty has been taken from
the grave, and if she is put.back into the tomb, it can
be only by your own parricide, and she must be bu-
ried
" I have to mid, for your satisfaction, a statement
has been laid before me of the grossest bribery, which
will be proved beyond all doubt, and make there-
turn a nullity. I have also received a statement of
evidence to show, that more than one-third of those
who voted against us, had been trampled by bribe
*lid terror into perjury, whet' they swore to the va-
lue of their qualification. ;lame of those houses had
actually no existence whatsoever—they might as
welt, have voted from a qualification in the moon—
they were literally driven from their pasture to
give their suffrage, and Nebuchadnezzar, in the last
year of his running as grass, would have been just
as comptaent as they were to vote in Ireland. But
I enlarge not upon this topic—to touch upon it is
enough for the present—the detail must be reserved
for a future occasion, and another place—it belongs
only to the hopeless to-be angry—do not you, there-
fore, be angry, where you cannot be surprised.—
You have been insulted, and oppressed, and betray-
ed—but what better could you hope from such a
Ministry as their sown nation is cursed withal—they
hear the voice of suffering England. now thunderieg
in their ears—they feel they cannot retain—they are
anxious to destroy--they are acting open the prin-
ciple of Russian retreat. Pressed upon by the peo-
ple, and beaten back into their fastnesses, they de-
populate as they retire : but_what better could you
have ever hoped from such men ?-4. motley groups,
without virtue, or character, or talents--the sort of
Cabinet that you have laughed at on the stage,
where the potent, grave, and reverend Seniors were
composed of. scene-shifters, and candle-snuffers,
robed in old curtains, and wigged from the stores
of the Theatre. They affected to profess religious
distinctions, but they were too grossly ignorant to
conceive any such. There is no science in which a
mu must not know something to qualify him for
misconception. I have myself talked with English-I
men upon this subject : you cannot suppose me to
allude to the exalted class of persons in that country
who have done themselres so much honour by their
sympathy and liberality-1 speak of an inferior or-
tier—indeed, of posse's like your Ministers there,
or 'our Ministers here. I hate asked them, what
they could find so formidable iu the religious prin-
ciples of the Irish Catholics?—And the answer has '
uniformly been Why, Sir, I never know's!
• nothiele at all of the principles of the Hirish Pa-
• piats, except their lank hair, and long coats, with..
• out no•arnts in the sleeves; and 1 thinks the most
• liberal man still allow, that them there are danger-
-4 oils principles.'

" Shall I, my friends, say one serious word to ;
ou upon this serious subject? Patriotism is of no I
one religion; Ciristianity belongs exclusively to no
sect; and moral virtue and social duty are taught
with equal exactness .by every sect, and practised I
with equal imperfection by all ; and therefore,
wherever you find a little interested bustling bigot,,
do not hate him—do not imitate tam—pity him if
ou can. I scarcely wish 3ou not to laugh when
LW look at one of these pearl-divers in theology ;
his head barely under water, his eyes shut, and an
index floating behind him, displaying the precise
decree of hip purity and his depth. A word or

been a mill-stone about the neck of England. From
that hour to this she has been flaring away in her
ruinous and wasteful war—her allies no more--her
enemies multiplied—her finances reduced to, rags—

' reduced to the last ebb, and their discontents method-

This was an action to•redover the sum of 51L!.:161.
being the amount of a hill for haberdashery, futrifibed„,
by Edward Lewis, of New Bond.streeti to whom the:
Plaintiff's were Assignees, for the use of the Defendant;
who pleaded infancy ; to which the Plaintiffs replied,'
that the goods were necessaries. The sole
.cpiestion was
1 Whether the condition and degree in 'lse of the Defen-
dant, who was at the time in question of the age of
•i 18 years, warranted the supply' of so large a quan-
tity of goods; for it appeared that the bill charged
the Defendant, from April iu one year, till January
in the next, with .38 handkerchiefs, and 29 pia of
I
silk stockings, two only of which were black. As '
to the fortune of the Defendant 9 it was proved br
Dr. Combe, that it arose from estates in the Island
of Tortola, employing and possessing 930 negroes ;
I but the Defendant's father never considered himself
as possessing more than 40001. per annum, and the
I.estate came to the son charged with the fortunes of i
younger children, which reduced its value to ;
40,0001.; and the son's title to the whole was now
litigating in the Court of Chancery. But the in-
come of Defendant, when a minor, was fixed
at 10001. a-year, since that only was the sum allowed
him by his guardian after his mother's death. The ;
bankrupt deposed, that the Defendant came to his
shop in his carriage, and with his servants, of whom I
he kept five male, and three female; that he at first :
had lodgings in Bond-street, and then a house in 1
Foley-place, where he kept two carriages, and that I
he now lived in Manchester-square, next door to the
Marquis of Hertford, and kept his carriage; and the
bankrupt tristed him to any amount without eitquiry.'.;
Lord EI.I.ENDOROVGII laid down the law for the ;
protection of infants from their own extravagauce, '
and from the pillage of tradesmen ; and left it. to I
the' Jury to say, what portion of this accumulation ,
of handkerchiefs and stockings were fair necessaries
for a lad' of 18, who was allowed 10001. per annum. I
The circumstances of his keeping a carriage with tub-
I berly ieriants about it, they would leave out of the
question, since that would be only, adducing one
I I folly to atone for another ; and if all his then cre-
! ditors. were to come in to he paid out of this 10001. a
year. the coach and horses would come shortly off.
