Sheridaniana--No. 2.
Sheridan's parliamentary success was
erwned by his eloquent declamations at the
impeachment of Warren Hastings. Nobody
has ever suspected that he cared a sixpence
for'those dark-complexioned old women, the
Begruns of Oude. But he rejoiced in the op
portunity of making a great oratorical exhi
bition. His first speech on the Hastings' .
case, was delivered in the House of Com--
Mons, and occupied five hours and a half.
When he sat down, Sir Wilitaln Dalkon moved
an adjourntient of - the deiffite; 'asseiiing that
irlhe stile of mind in which Sheridan's
speech lefthha, it was ,Imposailide forlit44,l

best speech ever i*le in the House of Com
mode; assigned the'firS4ace, without hesita
tion, to the great Cation of Sheridan on the
Onde charge. And Horace Walpole, more
deliberately writing hla.opinion, confessed
that Sheridan had turned-every body's head.
."One heard every body in the street raving
= the wonders of that speech; for my part,
I can not believe it was so supernatural as
they say." He affirms that there Mast be a
witchery in Mr. Sheridan, who hid no dia
mends—as Hastings had—to win favor with,
and says that, the Opposition may be fairly'
&argot with sorcery.
Macsuday stakes, of this speech, that gr the
impression which it produced was such as has
never been equalled. He sit 'down, not
merely amidst Cheering, but amidst - the loud
clapping of bands, in which the Lords below
the bar, and the strangers in the gallery,
joined. The excitement was. each that no
other speaker could obtain a hearing. The
fermentspread fast through the town. Within .
MINA twenty bona, Sheridan was offered a
thousand pounds for the copy-right of the
speech, if he would hiniself correct it for the
prem."
To heighten his intoxication of success,

- When- -his career was near its close, (in .
1810, on being told ok Byren's having de
-closed this Begun Speech to he the very best
ever conceived or heard in England, Sheridan
burst into tears.:
In February, 1788, the trial of Warren
Hastings, ex-Viceroy of India, commenced in
Westminster H all, the greatest remnant in ex
istence of gothic palatial architecture, •
erected, five hundred'years before,by Richard
the Second, en thilonudatiaiof a Hall, of
the same size, built by William Rufus, at the
claim of the twelfth -century. On the ad of
June, 1788, Sheridan delivered his second
anti- Beatings' oration—the subject again being
the alleged ill-treatment of the old ladies of
Onde. Hie peroration ran thus : goThey
(the House of Commons) exhort you by every
thing that calls sublimely upon the heart of
man, by the majesty of that justice which this.
bold ram has libeled, by the wide fame'of your
own tribunal, by the sacred pledges by which
you swear in the solemn hour of decision,
knowing that that decision will then bring-you
the highest reward that ever blessed the heart
of man, the consciousness of having done the
greatest act of mercy for the world that the
earth hom ever yet received from any hand but
heaven-1 My Lost% I have done."
Of this speech Macaulay says, lone at
riosity Of the public to hear him was un
heralded. His sparkling and highly finished
deelareation lasted two dayeA but • the Hall
was crowded to suffocation. It was said that
fifty guineas bad been paid for a single ticket.
Sheridan, when he concluded, contrived, with
a knowledge of stage effect which his father;
:night have envied, to sink back, as if a,
hsested, into the - inns of Burke, who hugged
him with the'energr of generous admiration."
There is 'a mice; on thuriaat sentence which
the 'wiltet might have spared,for the letters of
Mrs. Sheridan, written hmriediately after the
epeech, to her husband's Mende and published
in the Life by Moore, clearly show that the ;
great and continuous effort for which he ba&
wound himself up bad really prostrated naiad!
and bedy, for_some time after his work had
been accomplished so greatly.
Burke, litho with many faults, was a warm
friend andloo confident in himself to fear
fleshy Hem any one, pawed an eulogy upon
Sheridika second speech, much finer than
that which he praised. He said, wOf all the
yarionis species of oratory--of every kind of
eloquence—that - had been heerd, either in an
cient or modern times'; whatever the acute
ness of the bar, the dignity'of the Senate, or
the morality of the pulpit could furnish, had
not been equal to what that House bad that
'day heard in Westminster Hall. Xi, holy re.;
ligionist, no man at any description, as
literary ohaiacter, could have come up, in the
one instance, to the pure sentiments of MO
rality, or, in the other,to the variety of lmow-
ledge, fores of "imagination, propriety mid
vivacity of allusion, beauty and eloquence of
diction, and strength of expression, to what
they had that day heard. From poetry np to
eloquence, there was net a species of compo
sition, of which a cdmplete and perfect speci
men might not have been,• cull ed, from on e
part or other of the speech to which he had
alluded:,
The. second speech of Sheridan's, by the
way, oCcupied foul. days in the delivery,
owing to the necessity of commenting triton
evidence. The great effort, which , elicited the
eulogy of Burke, was on the last day. `
Reprobating the violence and perfidy of
Hastings, in forcing one of the Native Indian:
princes to plunder his own relatives and
friend's, Sheridan happened to notice thak
Gibbon, the historian, was•: among the midi

rank, I impeach the common enemy and op
pressor of all."
• The Hastings' impeachment had a tiniest
lame and' impotent conclusion," as Dade
mon& would say. The sessions of 1788, 1789,
and 1790 were consumed in going through the
case for the prosecution. In 1791, the Com
mons expressed their willingness to abandon
some part of the charges, with a view of
bringing this remarkable trial sooner to an
end. On the 28d June, 1791, the seventy
third day, Hr. Hastings began his defence,
which was protracted until April 17th, 1795,
(the hundred and ferty.eighth day,) when he
was acquitted by a large majority of the
Lords, who were , his Judges, on every sepa
rate article charged against him,—on some he
was unanimously absolved. Out of twenty
nine peers who voted, only six condemned
him on the charges relating to Cheyte Sing
and to the Begums, and this was the greatest
demonstration against him. The decision was
generally approved, for, by a natural, reaction
n public opinion, Hastings came to be looked
upon as a persecuted man,--oppressed rather
than having offended.
The law-costs of Hasting's defence amount
ed-to £76,080, and left him nearly penniless.
The East India Company, whom he had served
long and well, voted him an annuity of £4,000
for twenty-eight years and a half, and lent him
£50,000 for eighteen years, free of interest.
Be purchased the estate of Dayleford, in Wor
icestershire, which had formerly belonged to
'his family, and there he passed the remaining
^' of his life—outliving Fox,
Burke,endan, and
; political oppo

In 1812., when a discussion_ took place. in
Parliament relative to tba removal of the Bast
India Company's :charter, witnesses were
ambled, and Hastings, then a venerable man
of eighty, was summoned to give testimony
before the House of Commons. A genera
tion had passed since he had appeared at the
bar of that House to read his answer to the
charges made against him by the -party of
whom Burke was the . month-piece. When
this aged man, whose name had passed into
History, reappeared—as if from the deed—the
Commons received him with acclamations,
ordered a chair to be placed for him, and
simultaneously rose and uncoveredwhen he
retired.
Nearly all the managers of the Impeach
meat had passed off the stage of life; One or
two remained, and Macaulay records cc These
gentlemen were not disposed to admit that
theSi had employed several of the best years
of their lives in persecuting an innocent man.
They accordingly kept their seats, and pulled
tludr bats over their brows; but the excep
tions only made the prevailing enthusiasm
more remarkable." Among those dogged
and ill-bred men, who might have respected
Old Age, Sheridan was not. Six months be
fore (in the autumn of 1812) he had been
defeated at Stafford election,which threw him
out of Parliament and lute ruin.
A Fugitive Slave Case in New York.
wescom -Or AN ALLEGED
.FUGITIVE
From tho Ittow York Everting Exams of raturday.)
At half past three o'clock this (Saturday).after
noon; just as the steamer Yorktown. was about to
iiepart for Norfolk, $ clone carriage was driven
Vapidly up the pier, sad: when oppeette the 'gang
,plardt of the vessel, two United States deputy mar
'bale left the vehicle, having in custody a negro,
whom they alleged was a fugitive slave.
One the marshals was about to drag the ne
gro on board when he grasped, with almost savage "
tenacity, the rails of the plank, clingieg to it de
spite every effort to dieengage his grasp. -A large
crowd Noonthered round the trio, and the negro,
deeming h ead friends or sympathy among them,
-begged them -to rescue him, crying loudly and in
piteous tones," Oh, men. save me! save me!
.not him—eve !" Officer Armetrong, of the
steamboat squad, on viewing the crowd, premed;
'forward; and caught bold of the negro ' who had'
then relieved himself from the grasp of the mar
shal.
The officer tquickly asked if the marshals bad
the neo.seary legal doouments to convey the fugi
tive away to Virginia ; but the officers in charge
of biro seemed somewhat rustled at the question;
and, after an instant's pause,
replied that they had
not the papers, but would , go for them.
One of the marshals then went for the warrants,
leaving the negro in charge of the companion
officer. In;tifp.s* meantime, the negro had become
the centre ofraleexcited crowd, who urged him to
run, and completely protected hint from the ap
prow* of the officer in charge. •
In an instant afterwarde, the negro, led on by a
large crowd, ran rapidly towards West street, pur
sued by the officer, who-failed, after a vigorous
chase, in arresting him.
The supposition is that he immediately, by the
advice of his friends, made tracks for the Jersey
shore, where anothir warrant would be required to
capture him. There is said to be no doubt that he
will take advantage of , the recess, by proceeding
to Canada.
•
The. United States marshals allege that the ne
gro, name was John Polhemus, and that be had
escaped from the Service of his muter, Mr. Jame
ion, who resides in Louisburg, Va.
It is said that Polhemus confused before the
marshals and his master, who is now in this city,
that he was a fugitive, and that he offered to go
back to the place from which he had'accaped.
After Polhemns escaped, a large Crowd of ne.
groes, lOngsheretnen, and others, gathered on the
pier, .this former of whom threatened'. to inflict
summary runiihment on • the marshals who bad
charge 'of. the negro. The neighborhood of the
pier, es we go to press, Is greatly excited',

THE Cl/MOLINA -FLOATING BATTERY
The Charleston correspondent of the New York
Tribune writes:
The floating battery having been launched, its
appearance in the water has served to strengthen
the doubts concerning its adoption for the service
for whioh it was originally' intended. She oareens
ever toward the battery side about five feet; when
the guns are aboard it will settle more still, in view
of which, it is not easy to see how the concern is
going to be ballasted so as to give her an upright
position. The strustare, according to the original
design, will draw between ten and twelve feet of
water A new name has been given to the thing,
" Hamilton's Folly," in honor of the projector,
Lieutenant Hamilton, who resigned his post in
the United States navy to enter the service of the
rebels.
Readers of history will recollect the experience
with floating batteries at the siege of Gibraltar,
1782. There were tenet them built at an expense
of upward of. $lOO OK and they were deemed in
vulnerable ; they mounted from ten to eighteen
guns each, and were manned by picked crews At
first the heaviest shote had butlittle enact on them,
but after a terrific cannonading of several hours,
the effect of the red-hot shot from the garrison
came apparent, and in a few hours users Mee of
the batteries were on Are.
A.lOlll ALND ICH SON.
Major Anderson; who is in daily oowm•.tnioation
with the War Department, writes that the batte
rice and other works of the South Carolinians are
nearly completed; and thitt, unless the Southern
Congress interpose, be expects Fort Sumpter will
be attacked immediately after the 4th inst. It ap
pears that there is a large party in South Caro
lina who ignore the Southern Congress, particu
larly as regards military operations in Charleston
harbor. while the Governor and the conservatives
generally are disposed to abide by the directions
of the authorities o tbo Confederated States.

stationed on Morris' Island, at the different batte

work at the extension of the Owes around the

IeSTISE FROW LIEUTENANT A. J. BLEMAIZR TO HIS
El=
DEMI BILOTHIM: As II special messenger will
leave here for Washington to-morrow, I will ask
him to carry some private letters, with his pnblie
ones, and let you know some little about Fort
Pickens and the inhabitants thereof I only wish
it were not so much of a one-sided arrangement;
as we need letters down, here more than -you for
tenets people up North can.- The papas come
through sometimes, but letters never. It quite
surpneoe me to see my name figuring BO extensive•
ly in the newspapers. I have simply done my
duty ; but I suppose the doing it, under such a F ros
eate of opposition makes it appear creditable.
The troop aro leaving the opposite shore, disgusted
at playing isoldier,-I:enppcste. They. say there are
only about 300 remaining, and these are regulars,
baying enlisted for one year. My messenger to the
yard, this morning, said they were afraid we, would
attack them now. „We could do so, and get posses.
lion again of everything in an hour, if we were only
permitted -to take such a course. I have now
mounted nearly all the gems—that Is, all that are
really necessary to enable this, work to be defend
ed by a force of five hundred men. We have
worked like horses to aooomplieh this, but great
things can be done by small meanewhen one knows
how This small command' has done more than
Chase or Lomax could have dons with their two
thousand men, and they know it. Having seen
our gene go up so rapidly, they ewoar we have had
'sinful:temente. In fact, the papers say, nothing
else could be expected—that we have smuggled in
men from the vessels. It is true we could have
done so, and they be none the wiser ; but 'not a
man baa been added to this command from them.
In fact, so particular are we, that riot even an oifi-
Oer hag come tillhOre j Wi th the exception of Captain
Vogdes, and he only one., when -the Teasels first,
came. • •
These Southern papers are , publishing all aorta
of false reports about me. One is that .I. was heard
to sky that if they had attaoked...the fort any'
time during the first fifteen daya I would have
surrendered It without firing a gun. Of course,,
this le not true. My men abed at the gnu every;
one of those days, and if they, had come they
would have learned the definition of one kind of
grape.
The people on the Opposite shore think we are*
a much more defensible condition than when they .
first came. The moral effect, of the guns on top is
great.-.=When the move was drat made I worked
most where they could not see me, and they
thought but little was doing; but when my men
were put to work on the bubette gene, and they
maw them go Op almost like magic, as they thought,
(they could scarcely move their own guns,) they
began to think troublons times were coming. There
are only, as ! said before, about four hundred men
at the h e s - rack . k Fort Barrancas, and old McCrea;
only enough to min-lion them. They are very
ninth afraid that some tine morning they will End
the ships in .the harbbr with the intelligonoo to
them that they out leave within two hours, unless
they prefer to be food for poWder.
Colonel Chase and Captain /landolph are both
in Montgomery; leaving Colonel Forney In nom-
Mend
He is a West Point graduate, and was eugaged
in putting up the battened before that work was
stopped.
Colonel Chase was putting up a battery near the
light house, and mounting eight-thoh coltiMbilds
on It. This battery would have -raked our front,
eo I wrote protesting against its continuant* at
present, and also against the erection of all bat
teries bearing on the fort. Colonel Chase told the
Secretary of War that if be world not land' the.
troops in the Brook/vn, - he, on his pa. t, would not
attack the fort, end would immediately dliaddi:
tinny all preparations for Do doing. Of course this.
battery building was violating the agreement, and
they have admitted it by not going on. They'
think I have no right to mount any more guns
either, but that is all they know about it. There
was no armistice on my side at all, exoept about
the landing of the troops, and that was the Seer--
tary's. I am at perfect liberty to mount every
K en in the fort if I choose, ,and make such other
defences as I oan invent copy. * *

PORT INARvsy, March 2 —wire lei/ow - mg /VOW
of news were received by the pony expreaa yes
terday, but their tranemlasion was delayed till
now in oonaequence of an accident to the tele
graph : .
The commeroial statistice of the kingdom for
1860, prepared by the Collector Geduld, are pub
lished. .In poorly every item, a largo falling off
is shown from the tables of the previonif years.
Theo:mires of this decline are attributed mainly
to the deoregie in - foreign whale ships visiting
the Islands, and in part to the new tariff of ten
per cent. on merchandise of all kinds, which went
into tom in June, 1860 '
The former tariff was five pee oent., which some
think is as high a duty as the best Interests of the
Islands will admit , without materially checking
trade. This subect ie freely discussed by. the
local papers. T he - annual statiltios also snow a
large . deolin,p In the production of the principal
etaple products of the Islands, which is looked
upon by all parties ae somewhat angular and not
so *Ratty. accounted for. The political editor of
the Polynesian attributes it to the drought and
blight; but the Advertiser denies that these causes
have had even as much effect daring IRO ae in
praTiocis year., atd attributes it to the finanoial
-policy of the Government.
From a table published by the Advertiser, it
appear, that there bad been a decrease in imports
for the year 1860 of $332 000, and in exports of
$128 : 000 ; in domeetio produce exported of $148,-
000; in revenue receipts of nearly $l5 000 ; , a large
deoreace in the teanehionent of oil and bone, and
a del:Weiss of twenty two merchant arrivale, with
•a tonnage of eighteen thousand tone.
