About the year 1850, when the impeach-
ment of Lord DANNY was under discussion
in the British House of Peers, curious wa
ger took place. The Earl OF Canarvon is
said never to have spoken before this time;
but being now heated with wine, and rallied
by the Duke OF Buckingham on his silence,
declared he would speak that afternoon: and
this producing a wager between them, he
went into the house with a resolution to
speak on any subject that should offer itself
He accordingly stood up, and delivered him
self to the following effect on the subject be-
fore the house, which was the impeachment
Of Lord Danbv:-


Nh Lords: I understand hut little of La. .
tin but good deal 0! English, and not little
of the English history: from which / have
learnt the mischiefs of such kind Of prosecu-
tions as these and the i'll fate Of the prosecu-
tors. | could bring many instances arr
those very ancient, but my lords, shall go
no farther back than the latter end of Queen
Elizabeth's reign; at which time the Earl of
Essex was run down by Sir Walter Raleigh.
NV lord Bacon, he ran down Sir Walter
Raleigh, and your lordships knew what be-
came of my lord Bacon. The duke of Buck
ngham, he ran down my lord Bacon, and
your lordships know what happened to the
duke of Buckingham. Sir Thomas Went
worth, afterwards Earl of Stafford, ran down
the duke Of Buckingham, and you all know
what became Of him. Sir Henry Nanc, he
ran down the Earl Of Stafford, and your lord
ships know what became of Sr Henry Nane.
Chancellor Hyde, he ran down Sir Henry
Nane, and your ordshrs know what became
of the Chancellor. SIR ! homas Osburn,
now Earl Of Dainty. ran down Chancellor
Hyde: but what will become of the Earl Of
Dandy, your lorlships best Can tell. But
let me see that man that dare run the Earl
of Dandy down, and we shall soon see what
will become of him."


This being pronounced with remarkable
humonr and tone, the duke Of Buckingham,
teth surprised and disappointed, after his
way, cried out--fhc man is inspired, and
claiet has done the business.
