LORD THURLOW'S REPLY TO THE DUKE OF GRAFTON.

The Duke had (in the House of Lords) reproached Lord Thurlow with his plebian extraction, and his recent admission to the peerage. Lord Thurlow rose from the woolsack, and advanced slowly to the place from which the Chancellor addresses the house, then fixing his eye upon the Duke, spoke as follows.

7 My | Lords, 7|77| I am a- | mazed, | 7 7 | yes my | Lords, 7 | I am a- | mazed at his | Grace's | speech. | 7 7| 7 7| 7 The | noble | duke | cannot | look be- | fore him, | 7 be- | hind him, | 7 or on | either | side of him, | 7 with- | out 7 | seeing | some 7 | noble | peer, 7| 7 who | owes his | seat 7 | 7 in this | house | 7 to his suc- | cessful ex- | ertions, | 7 in the pro- | fession | 7 to | which 7 | I be- | long. 7|77|77| Does he not feel 7 | that it is as | honorable | 7 to | owe it to | these, | 7 as to | being the | accident | 7 of an | accident? | 77|77|7 To | all these | noble | Lords, 7 | 7 the language of the | noble | Duke 7 | is as | applicable | and as in- | sulting | 7 as it ❘ is to my- | self. 7 | 7777| But I do not | fear 7 | 7 to | meet it | single | 7 and a- | lone. 7| 77|77| No one | venerates the | peerage | more than | I do. | 77 | But my | Lords, 7 | 7 I must 7 | say 7 | 7 that the | peerage |

7

so- | licited | me, | 77 | 7 not | I | 7 the | peerage. |

7777

Nay 7 more, 7 7| 7 1 | can and | will 7 | say, 7 | 7 7| that as a | peer of | parliament, | 7 7| 7 as | speaker | 7 of this | right | honorable | house, | 77|7 as | keeper of the | great 7 | seal, 7|77|7 as guardian | 7 of his | majesty's | conscience, 17 7| 7 as | Lord | high | Chancellor of | England, | 77 | nay, 7 | even in | that | character | 7a- | lone, | 7 in | which the | noble | duke 7 | 7 would | think it an af- | front 7 | 7 to be con- | sidered, | 7 but | which | character | none can de- | ny 7| me, 7|77| as a | MAN, 7|71| am at this | moment | as res- | pectable; |77|71| beg 7 | leave to | add, 7 | 7 as | much re- | spected, | 7 as the | proudest | peer 717 I | now | look | down upon. 7|77|77|

TRIBUTE OF MR. BURKE TO THE ENTERPRISING SPIRIT OF THE NEW-ENGLAND COLONISTS.

As to the | wealth, 7 | Mr. | Speaker, | which the | colonies | 7 have | drawn from the | sea | 7 by their | fisheries, | 7 7 | you had | all | that | matter | fully | opened | 7 at your | bar. 7| 77|77| 7 You | surely | thought those acqui- | sitions | 7 of value, | 77| for they | seemed | even to ex- | cite your | envy; | 77| 7 and | yet 7 | 7 the | spirit | 7 by | which that | enterprising em- | ployment | 7 has been | exercised, | 77 | ought | rather, | 7 in | my o- | pinion, | 7 to have | raised your es- | teem and | admi- | ration. | 77|77| 7 And | pray, Sir, | what in the | world 7 | 7 is | equal to it? 7 777 | Pass | by the | other | parts, 7| 7 and | look at the | manner | 7 in | which the | people of | New- | England | have of | late | carried | on | 7 the | whale | fishery. | 77|77|

Whilst we | follow them | 7 a- | mong the | tumbling | mountains of | ice, | 7 and be- | hold them | penetrating | 7 into the | deepest | frozen re- | cesses | 7 of | Hudson's | Bay, | 7 and | Davis's | Straights, |77| whilst we are | looking for them | 7 be- | neath the arctic | circle, | 77 | 7 we | hear that they have | pierced | 7 into the | opposite | region of | polar | cold, 7 | 77 | that they are | at the an- | tipodes, | 77| and en- | gaged | under the | frozen | serpent | 7 of the | south. | 77|77| Falkland | Island, | 7 which | seemed | too re- | mote 7 | 7 and ro- | mantic an | object | 7 for the | grasp of national am- | bition, | 7 7 | is but a | stage and |
