On Friday night, his disorder took a derided turn for the worse, and all hopes of his recovery vanished.— 'Monday evening it was omen - cut that his life was drawing to n close, and at six o'clock ou Tuesday morning he was no more. wall the public men of his time who ICll'O descended before him to the grave, there was not one who lived more beavers:illy beloved and esteemed, or died more deeply and universally lamented ; not one in whom centred so mach men tal and moral WOrill 45 formed the rare combination o usel, but a few days ago was George Ponsonby.- Sonic of them ;night boast more splendid genius, but he was faultless.— (iouil sense, the foundation of every excellence, he possessed in a superior degree, improved by study and intercourse kith the world in public and private life ; his understanding was vigorous; his conception clear; his langnege chaste, natural, and unaffected ; his manner impressive, and his voice sonorous and well modulated. Among the faults to ashich forensic eloquence is liable, are repetition, arising from anxiety to press a favourite point, and stiffness from the logical precision of legal argument—shut Mr. Ponsonby, although long practised at the Bar, was perfectly free frolll both. lively thing he said was so clear, the first impression could not be improved, nor did he attempt it—every thing he said was so complete, he never used a word too little or too much. To the splendid eloquence and lorry flights of Pitt and Lox, he did not aspire,- He addressed . himself to t the head, laying aside that species of eloquence which seeks through the passions to mislead the judgment. A sound dis cretion, and au ardent love of justice and equity, always ac companied his motives, and governed all his actions. As a political character, it would be unfair to v'..eigh him against the great men over whose loss memory still weeps, but he will not suffer in a comparison even with them. Fox and Pitt were cradelled in English politics, which embrace the rela tions of rill countries with their own. The Union first trans. feried Mr. Ponsonby to a seat in the Imperial Parliament, in which (being chiefly resident in Ireland) he only appeared occasionally until the death of Mi. Fox. To estimate his ta lents truly, it may be therefore necessary to refer to his pre vious progress in his native hind. He was the younger son of the late Right Hon. John Ponsonby, Speaker of the Irish House of C I brother of the tat o Earl of Reshot °ugh, by Lady Elizabeth Cavendish, daughter of William, the third Duke of Devonshire. Tints, although an Irishman by birth, he was entirely English by blood, which ever beat high in the cause of his native country. Called at an early age to the bar, he was early appointed Counsel to the Commissioners of the Revenue, with the emoluments of which he was satisfied, spending a considerable portion aids time in rural retirement; but a change of Ministry, which divested him of his place, roused him into activity and laid the foundation of his great political life. In one and the same year he became a leading Member in the Irish House of Commons, and at the Bar. His eloquence in the Senate shook oppression even on the judg mein seats His professional practice opened the road to riches 'while the necessary exertions subdued a constitutional indo lence which might otherwise have settled into habit. Thus his removal from place, at first contemplated an evil, even tually proved a good, and put bins at once in possession of healthtid spirits, fame mid fortune.—Always acting in con cert with the party of his Noble Relative, the Duke of De vonshire, be was, on the change of' Administration, in 1806, appointed Lord Chancellor of Ireland, which office lie re. signed in 1807, and, on the death of Mr. Fox, succeeded him, as Leader of the Opposition in the House of CIITMIIOIIS, fits time having been, for the greater part, previously spent in Ireland, and his mind occupied with Irish interests, this pe riod may be considered the emntuencement of his political career as a British senator. How greatly lie distinguished himself io the interval which has since elapsed, is fresh in the recollection of onr cadet's. No luau transplanted at so ad vanced a pet iod of life, ever attained so grunt a height in pub lic estimation. Mr. Grattan, that grand oak of the Irish for est, stills displays his original Immo lance, but then he always *t Inds on Irish ground, while the varied relations of the for eign and domestic policy of England were the novel and the vide range explored and traversed by Mr. Ponsonby. As the leader of a great political party. no Mall was ever more efficient, and at the same time more free from party spirit.— He was in feeling and principle the very men contemplated by those who consider a systematic Opposition a necessary sat} guard to the constitutional rights and liberties of England. 'the ingennoumess of his mind, the kindness of his heart, and the suavity of his "manners, conciliated his opponents, and assuaged all those felines which defeat excites ; and if his triumphs were not more numerous, it is because the candour • and eaerosity of Ins wind disdained to take edcantrige of his adv eriasies when ever be thought thou tight, Where that happy circle was now extinct! ; File ‘OlOlll he had late!9 seen full of health, life, and spirits. was now no men , !

On that night John Aldridge was paying and receiving. as well as Mr. Fielder. 'they relieved earl' other in dealing and paying. Mr. Fielder always acted as master of the house. On various other occasions witnessed the repetition of the game of rouge et noir. Robert Oldlield was in the employment of Mr. Fielder, No. 9, Bennett-street. He opened the outer their, and the inner door. In the evening, the door nest the street was shut, in general. Kept a key of the inner door, which led up stake. There were two doors within the house, beside the street door. Was stationed at the doors in question to let gentlemen in. Be saw these gentlemen before he let them in, through an oval glass in the street door. There was an outer door beside those he kept, which nas always open. His duty was to keep out such persons as it Wale thought proper to exclude. The game of rouge et noir was ' going on up stairs. Iteside the rouge et noir table, there were other tables in the house, including a hazard-rabic : on that he never saw hazard played ; did see hazard played belni cn the 29th of March end the 11th of April, a little after three; they played in the back room, on the first floor ; Mr. Fielder was there I there were eight or ten present ; if three mains at hazard were thrown by one person, the keeper of the table was entitled to a box ; witness received this money, which he banded over to Mr. F's servant ; the sable of the box was proportioned to the stakes played for; on this occasion, the gentlemen playing wanted to play for half a pound, but Mr. F. said it was so late the boxes must be pounds. The gen tlemen would sometimes stake from 201. to 401. The servants there were the servants of Mr. Fielder. On the morning in question at hazard, he thought Sir G. Webster won all that was won—six or seven hundred pounds. Mr. Barton lost considerably. He had been a winner, but Sir Godfrey urged him, kept him on playing, and he lust it all.
