SIR BoYLE's BULLS.

We have all heard of Sir Boyle Roche's blum
deTs. Dickens gives us an account of some of
those which happily are preserved. In one of his
speeches he said ;-"Sir, wonld give up half
nay, the whole of the Constitution to preserve
the remainder" This, however, was parliament
faIy Hearing that Admiral Howe was in quest
of The French, he remarked somewhat pleasantly,
that "tbe Admiral would sweep the French fleet
of the face Of the earth" BY and by came dan
gerous times of disahectiOn, end honest mems
lives were insecure. Sir Boyle writes from the
country 10 friend in the capital this disconrag-
ing view of his position :-"You may judge"
he says, "Of our state, when tell you that
vii this with a sword in one hand and pistol
in the other"
On another occasion, when the famous letters
TO The Public idrGtiseT were attracting universal
attention, sir Boyle was heard 10 complain Bit
teTly of the attacks "Of certain anonymous
wiiier called Junius." He It was who recoanted
that marvellous performance in gymnastics,
when, in tumult of loyalty, he "stoOd PROSTATE
at the feet OF his sovereign" He il was who de-
nOuDCed in withering language the ApOst tie
politician who "tuInCd his back upon himself"
He it WAS who introduced TO public notice the
Ingenious but partially confused metaphor of the
Tat. "Sir," he said, addressing the Speaker of
| the Irish HUne, 81 smell a rat. ] see him
floating IN the air. But mark me, shall yet nip
| himin the bud"
There was a famous speech which conloundcd
| generations. 81 don't see, Ar Speaker, why we
should put ourselves out OF the way 20 serve pos
| teIiiy. What has pOsterity ever done for us Z"
| He was little disconnected by the hurst OF
laughter thar followed, and proceeded to explain
his meaning. "By posterty, sir, do not mean
our ancestors, but those who come Immediately
after them" His invitation 20 the gentleman on
his travels was hospitable and well meant, but
equiyocal. "I hope, my lord, If you ever come
within a mile Of my house, you'll stay there all
night" He ii was who stood for the proper
dimensions of the wine bottle, and proposed tc
| Parliament that it should be made compulsory
| that "every pint bottle should contain quart.
Very pleasant and yet perfectly ineligible was
his moaning. though IL unhappily took the bovine
