AsMALL MISTAKE IN A GREAT MAN.

writer in the Boston Atlas tells the fol-
lowing amusing anecdoie Of Sh:el. the great
Irish orator. The occurrence mentioned, which
appears to have been accidental, has now be-
come frequent in our Congress through design
only that members who are unable either 10
make speech or to write one, stammer few
sentences and then obtain reporter TO spin
their remarks out into an eloquent speech Of
four or five columns -
81 Just now said that Shiel always
wrote his speeches. 1t is also well
known, that he is in the habit of him
self furnishing the manuscripts to a
certain journal for publication. In
deed, it would be work of great diff
Guilty to report Shiel-for his sentences
are so involved, and they are uttered
with such amazing volubility, that he
almost sets short hand at defiance
Some few years since, ludicrous mis-
take occurred, with respect to a report
of one of his speeches, which greatly
mortified Shiel, and much amused the
public, who were, by the accident, let
into the secret Of Shicrs furnishing his
own reports.
at happened, on one occasion, that
Shiel had prepared one of his most
brilliant speeches for delivery, and,
having carefully committed it to mem
DRY, he forwarded the manuscript to the
office of the Morning -, for publ.
cation in the next days journal, with
the other speeches of the expected de-
bate. Contrary to all expectation, that
particular part of the subject to be dis
cussed which Mr.. Shiel's speech bore
reference to, was not mooted, and con-
sequently it was not delivered. Owing
to some mismanagement, notice was not
taken of the omission al the Office OF
the journal, no reporter from which
attended and the next morning the
Morning had four mortal columns
of speech printed, bnt which had
never been delivered. There were in
tcrpoIatcd with it, " Cheer" great
cheering, from all parts Of the house,
"hcar-hear," and "prolonged ap-
plausc," &c. &c, which had a drol
effect enough and the matter was not
mended by long eulogistic " leader"
from the editor, who characterized Mr..
Shells speech as one Of the most bril-
liant specimens of oratory which had
ever been delivered within the walls
of St. Stephens. All London not only
Uttered, but burst out into one great
and general OUTLAW. Shiel never for
gave the carelcssncss but he need not
have gricvcd SO much about the expo
sure, for he is not the only one who
reports his own speeches"
