Stn-The ['Parties, the Gifford'', and the Thorough-
i
more's, have indulged in alternate Allies of lofty iodic-
1
nation or facetious pleasantry upon the assumed baseness
and admitted senior'''. of Mi. liergami. Yon have rivet
a guides to the former; allow me to take a turn wi h 1
the noble Earl. -
Peytons of no property are received into Trinity Col-
lege, Dublin. This denomination of persona, to obtain
the privilege of attending the public lectures were (until
of late years) obliged to wait as merills noon the more • t
respectable student,. As the Noble Earl is remarkable ti
for kis condescension, perhaps he as ill have no ohjection
to answer whether his Lordship's father, sr !allelic *tut a ''i : .
O'Healy, or liely, did not in that capacity appear in the
College of Dublin ? . I;
Lord Donougliniore and others appear to be mightily 1
surprised at the lucrative promotions of Idergatni and '
his family. But, 1 leave not yet hear,' that he ever ex-
erted his influence to obtain fur hi. sister a majority in a
regiment of Dragoon*, that he might turn it into a .
" ready penny," a few days after she was actually Us-
netted ; nor has a Loral lieutenani (ea e will say of the •
Milanese) ever remarked, that so insatiable was his rapa-
city, that were he to give him all Ireland for an estate,
he would beg the Isle of Man for a potatoe-garden.
As the Noble Earl may be engage" in a rehearsal of
his new character as a Wog, 1 shall meter you, Sir, to
" Mr. Phillip's Life of Curran," where he speaks of the
late Hely Hatchinson. Others, besides Lord Lauderdale,
have made themselves remarkable in the course of these
proceedings; anal it is hut natural that the proud station
and triumph of the Queen should prove an eye-sore to a
min, whose next relative was sent on gods i omission,
that his employers, taking shame fur their defeated pat-
tiering, have abandoned their cat'--raw to the derision
and scorn of the nation. Nor has lie yet recovered from
the erinsrernation with which he beheld the Queen ding i
the " few notes upon a few slips of paper" in the face
of the diplomatic witted, while she fearlessly hurried for-
ward to enthrone herself in the affections of her people. '

Astonishment is of infrequent growth in a matured and

within the last few months witues•ed many things which
excited that sensation in mine. 1 have heard it said that
the grandson of a Scotch pedlar protested be timid not I
