he there distinguished himself by his scientific pursuits , and was actually driven thence by the rulgar , under the character of a conjuror .

Lately , in Westminster , aged 56 , Mr . Peter Finnerty , a writer and reporter in the Morning Chronicle , well known to the political world . He was of Irish parentage , the son of a tradesman of Loughrea , in Galway . At an early age , he was cast upon his fortunes in Dublin ; and having been brought up as a printer ,
in 1798 , he succeeded Mr . Arthur O'Conner , as the conductor of the celebrated paper " The Press . " After a series of persecutions , he removed to London , and entered into engagements as a Parliamentary reporter . Having become acquainted with Sir Home Popham , when the expedition to Walcheren took place , he
sailed with Captain Bartholomew from Woolwich , for the purpose of writing the history of that expedition . A strange exercise of power , however , prevented his carrying that object into effect , and after a delay of some weeks he returned to England . He now attacked Lord Castlereagh , ( the present Marquis of
Londonderry , ) whom he regarded as the author of his disappointment , and freely exposed the supposed enormities of the administration of which his Lordship had made part in Ireland . He was immediately prosecuted for this as a libel , and , being convicted , was sentenced to a long imprisonment in Lincoln gaol , where he is said to have experienced harsh
treatment by order of the magistrates . He was a man of more feeling than discretion . It is not discreditable to him , that he was pursued by the malice of the conductors of a periodical publication , called The Satirist , which , like The John Bull ° f the present times , was set on foot by the hungry underlings in office , for the sake of running down every man deemed to be an object of dislike with their patrons . ^ Mi ^ Mi —^—

Of a man of such principles and practices , it is difficult to . speak in Madequate terms of praise . —New Month . ag .
