OF NoekamIxIon township He was mostly
known by the alias; and even his barber
was known to call him Nockamixion.
One pleasant afternoon, when The MEM

OF fun, Mr.. Macmanas, then . member

GRATTAS.-Gratian, the frs; man IN
the brightest day OF the Irish Parliament,
was descended of an honorable lineage
His father was barrisler. member of
Parliament for Dublin, ard also us Recor-
der. He himself was 4 graduate of the
Irish University, where he was distin-
guisf1ed. Entering the Middle Temple.
he was called 10 the Irish bar in l772
But his mind was Parlis his study
ii England had been parliament; and his
spirit was kindled by The great orators of
the time. He who had heard Burke and
Chatham, had heard the full power OF
imaginative oratory-of all oralory the
noblest. Grattan had the materials OF q
great speaker IN him by nature-keen
sensibIlity, strong passion. daring sincerity,
and an imagination furnished with all the
essential knowledge for debate-noi over
~helmed by II, but refreshing The original
force of his mind, like the eagles wing
refreshed by dipping into the fountain, but
dipping only 10 soar. Yet, though almost
rapturouslY admiring those distinguished
men, he was no imitGtor. He struck out
for himself line between both, and, IN
some of It's happier moments, superior TO
either; combining the rich exuberance OF
Burke's imagination with Chatham's con-
densed dignity of thought. Possessed Of
an extraordinary power of reasoning,
Grattan had the not less extraordinary
power OF working il into an intensity
which made it glow; and some of the
most elaborate arguments ever uttered IN
Parliament have all the brilliancy OF elo-
ooence. He continually reasoned, though
the most metaphorical of speakers; and
this combination OF logic and lustre, though
SO unusual IN others, IN him was charac-
teristic. He poured out arguments like a
shower of arrows, but they were all ar
rows tipped with fire. Mr.. Phillips sketch
of him brings Grauan before US 10 the
life :-.'He was Short in stature, and un-
prepossesslng IN appearance. His arms
were disproportionately long. His walk
Was stride With a person swaying like
4 pendulum, and an distracted air, he
seemed always in thought, and each tho't
provoked an attendant gesticulaiion. Such
was the outward and visible form of one
W hom the passenger would stop 10 stare
al as droli, and the philosopher to con-
template as a study. How strange il IS
that mind SO replele with grace and
symmetry, and power, and splendour,
should have been allotted such dwelling
for lis residence Yet so it was, and so
also was II one OF his highest attributes,
that his genius, by It's excessive light
blinded his hearers 10 his physical imper-
fections. II was the victory of mind over

From the Boston Courier
The enterprising publishers have here presented
to the legal profession, we judge, a long felt
deSideratunl-a prompt, cheap, and comprehensive
series of reports of all the decisions of all the Eng
lish courts. The series commences with the cases
of the November term, 1850; and we observe in the
first number decisions pronounced in Westminster
Hall on the 30th January, 1851. This is unparal-
leled despatch in the history of legal reporting.
Westminster is here brought two years nearer to
than our court house. The style in which
the work is issued reflects great credit upon the
publishers, editors, and all connected with it.
The page Is large fair, white, and readable The
table of cases and index seem TO be prepared with
much care and diligence The former strikes us as
executed on very useful plan, referring not only
TO the case and page of the volume, but containing
also short abstract of the subject of each case.
referring to American decisions, and still more to
the value of the work. The publication is to be
continued in monthly parts or numbers, making
each year six large octave Volumes for the remark
ably low price of $40 per annun. We trust both
editors and publishers will receive ample remuner-
alton for the service they here doing the legal
profession.
Such publication, we think, cannot fail to be
useful TO the profession and profitable to the pub
lishers.- Philadelphia Legal fnteiiigcncer.
