evening, containing matter wholly of a public nature, and such as we, therefore, conceive ourselves at liberty to give to the public. The contents appear to be premeditated heads of a speech in favour of the famous Irish job, which is to be again discussed this night; and if we had any confident grounds for hoping that the Hon. Author would favour the House of Commons with them, coupled with the advantages of his personal delivery, we should have abstained from prematurely pressing them on the attention of our readers. The nervous habit, however, of Mr. Ward, excited as it cannot but be by the critical appearance of Mr. Canning in the House upon this inauspicious occasion, leaves little room to indulge any such hope. Broken and interrupted, therefore, as the sentences are, we venture to give them exactly as they appear to have been written.

TITLE.

Vice-Treasurer's Bill-does not imply that this Officer may bring in a Bill to the Treasury.-Vice-Treasurer an ancient name-ancient names ought to be maintained. (Here turn to the Treasury Bench for applause.)

SALARY.

No officer can have weight without salary (refer to my own letter, refusing the offer of one of the unpaid Commissionerships of the Board of Control)-3500l. the lowest sum that can be offered to a Gentleman-(disclaim all view to the office myself).Can it be expected that a Gentleman will take an office without a Deputy to do the business of it?-Such things might suit a vulgar Republic, but incompatible with the dignity of our Government.-Balance of power in the Constitution (here pervert some quotation from Burke), -only real danger to be guarded against in these times is leaving the Crown too weak.-Two ViceTreasurers at Madrid, one at Lisbon.-In Portugal a general belief has obtained, that any English Gentleman, who takes any office, has a claim to 14,000l. a year.-Will the House of Commons destroy this notion, so flattering to the greatness and liberality of the nation, by discussing the amount of a salary? (Here regret the absence of a Right Honourable Friend, so singularly calculated to do justice to this great subject.)—Opinion of Country Gentlemen to be here treated with ironical respect--but their ignorance, Boeotian.

Call upon the veteran sage of the Navy Office, to favour the House with the substance of his Ciceronian tract upon the lamentable decrease of the influence of the Crown.-Necessity of following up the leading principle of the Union.-Appeal to the great man now present, who conducted that measure through all the stages of its purity, whether this does not fall within its spirit.-Miserable "ad captandum" policy of a faction that can see nothing "en grand."-[This is to be omitted, if any Opposition speaker be in his place.]

In conclusion-Apostrophe to the shade of Pitt, my present master's master, whose career was marked with a sublime contempt of "ill-understood" economy.

MEMORANDA.

To button both my breeches pockets, or remember before I go down to put my small change into the Saving Bank-Upon no account to stroke my chin-When any thing takes, to repeat it three times at least-to adhere to Pitt's tones throughout --no palpable imitations of Leach.

N. B. Ascertain from Arbuthnot whether I have permission to call Castlereagh "Noble Friend," without an apology.

THE NEW LOCHINVAR.

June 17, 1816.

OH, JOHN WILLIAM WARD is come out of the West,
In St. STEPHEN's old Chapel his speech was the best;
But, save his good long chin, amusement he 'd none,
He spoke all prepar'd, but he learn'd it alone:
For his speaking renown'd, for his ratting abhorr'd,
There never was Statesman like JOHN WILLIAM,
WARD!

He staid not at Naples, he stopp'd not at Rome,
He posted through Paris to hear of his doom;
But ere he arriv'd at the Treasury gate,

His Master had swallow'd sly CASTLEREAGH's bait:
And the Board of Control was the noble reward
That honour'd the Master of JOHN WILLIAM WARD.

So boldly he enter'd the Parliament Hall,
Among placemen and pensioners, CROKER and all:
Then spoke the poor leader, of Grammar bereft,
(For his Master alone was at Liverpool left :)
"O! come ye to vote on our side from abroad,
And to cheer our long speeches, old JOHN WILLIAM
WARD?

"When from Cintra's retirement my Master you' bought,

You basely denied me the place that I sought;

And now I am come from the Capitol Hill,
To speak but one speech on this Alien Bill:

As you've scorn'd me, from ratting I'll not be debarr'd,

And the Whigs shall be proud of their JOHN WILLIAM WARD."

The question was put, and loud rag`d the debate, Then LYTTLETON rail'd at poor BEFORT's sad fate; Then ABER, and BROUGHAM, at Old ADDINGTON sneer'd,

Nor car'd they what worth and what talents they jeer'd:

But rous'd by the nonsense of CASTLEREAGH's Lord, "Now speak we a speech," mutter'd JOHN WILLIAM WARD.

So grand his oration, his phrases so fine,

That ne'er in the House such a speaker did shine; While CASTLEREAGH fretted, and BATHURST bemoan'd,

And PEEL and Lord BINNING with jealousy groan'd, And the countrymen" whisper'd, "Our party is marr'd,

By refusing his price to old JOHN WILLIAM WARD."

One hand to his pocket, one touch to his chin, (You might hear 'mid each sentence the drop of a pin,)
