Hurke's speech on the impeachment of Warren Hustings, would have been brief to mine, if 1 could only Ijnvo had a mouth or so to practice. in tho barn; but tlw c.a«c came on the third day, and 1 was fori o I to go into court, in a manner cheated of my proper limits. The cause was to be triwl bulore Mr. Justice Sqiiigga. in the court for the trial of small causes. Stjuiggs had a very large nose, kept a grocery, was a Dutchu.an, ami a great old scoundrel to white and black spotted dog—a bull dog. Oh, how he loved that dog. Ho might not he versed jn the poets, yet only verse could do justice to .his affection. His affection was so intense,' that his motto was "love me, love my dog.' But my client walked among men y«t wbb not of ;hert». Few loved my client; fewer loved his dog. Forgive these foolish tears, I sec that old dog still. My client's dog had on antipathy to calves. Calves were his ruin. Calves bore him to an early nnd blody grave. He mistook thecalvesof the defendant's legs, for the infant offspring of the cow. 'lit calvum alterum bituin,' In the language of Sitlke!d, he bit the wrong calf. The defendant having before his eyes the fear of the dog, and not the fear of law, did contrary to the well being of thi* commonwealth, its peace and dignity, become violently enraged. 'Ira brevis furor est,' which being translated means, Smithers was in a furv. 'Sl8iis pedo in uno.' He stood upon ilia other leg, and ' tijultum in jmrvo,' doing a great deal in a short timo. 'More equus insane,' like a vicious horso. 'Aotiono I'lutonis,' he kicked like the devil. The rendering, gentlemen, is literal, and the quotations embody the whole learning of the law upon the subject, from domes-day.book, to the ro. port of tlw New York coditiers. The man kicked. The dog bit. Kick Smithers, bite Hull—-cried my client. Noble impartiality, he guvo no more encouragement tu the dog than he afforded to the man. 'Tuurus in aries, et Scorpio, libra, ct pisces.' He tore the trousers of Smithers, and chewed his calf partly to pieces. Smithers turned with tlio fury of a demon, ho seized a bur of iron, nnd struck the inoffending animal with all his might upon the lu ad. The noble beast loosed his iioM, and foil gasping upon tho ground. Oh then, gentlemen, you, nnd I, and all of us, fell down, anil by that fiery blacksmith's fated forge succumbed to fury's forcc.

"Smithers, a blacksmith in the village, had first knocked his dog down with n Imr of iron, and then with unheard of cruelty, cut his throat from ear to ear with a corn knife, almost severing his head from his body, by a single blow of that truculent weapon.
