A SPEECH.

The Quincy (lillinois) Whig contains the fol- lowing report of a recent speech in the Senate of that State, on the bill for repealing internal ini- proveinents : i

‘ Mr. Speaker; I rise, sir, not to make a speech—speech-making is not my trade, but to tell the friends of the repeal, that I am fornent them, altho’ I hate railroads as any man in this yearth, perhaps, and I have good reson to hate them, yet I shall vote against repealing thetn, bekase all my constituents on this side of the river bodasbiously are for them, and a good many on tother side too—It are a fact, Mr. Speaker, I know very little about railroads, but I know as much us‘some other folks do.—We have a rail- road at Clinton for some years, across the bot- tom there at.

Scot, who keeps a tavern in Carlisle, and a rule tavern too, not one ofyour Springfield greas t/es, but a right jam up chicken fixed tavern, told me, that no mortal man could tell the eggs that had been broken, in bringing them to market, across that infeinal rail road; and Tully told me the same thing exactly about Crooked creek railroad, the same smashing ofeggs. You know Huey, Mr. Speaker? I wish you could have hearn Huey curse, the time his carriage was jolted up into eternal smash, crossing this same railroad. [Here the Speaker, unable any longer rto control his risible faculties, laughineg obser- ved, ‘the gentleman must confine himselfto the éQuestion, and to the rules of the Senate.’] Well,

These are my notions, Mr. Speaker, and I could not sit here, without belching them out. (Here the orator turned his head, and in an audible voice addressed a Senator to his right—‘ Uncle Peter, what is the name of our Wolf bill?’ but receiving no answer, he then, straitening his-n- self up, again addressed the Speaker.) As I am now tip, Mr. Speaker, I will give you my notions on Uncle Peter's wolf bilI.—-( Here the Speaker interrupted him again, by reminding him that the wolf question was not now before the Senate, and therefore its merits could not be discussed.)—Your'e mistaken in your man, Mr. pecker; I'm not a cussing character, and if I was, I should be very far from cussing Uncle -Peter's wolf bill.

The ensign (Thomas) .who carried the 'regiltental colour, was shot dead in the commencement of the struggle, and the colour captured. The King’s colour was carried by Lieut. Matthew La- tham. He was attacked by several French hus- sars, one of whom, seizing the flag-staff, and ri- sing in his stirrup, aimed a stroke at the head of the gallant Latham, which failed in cutting him down, but which sadly mutilated him, severing

The number of Latham’s adversaries impe- ded their efforts to destroy him, and the dragoous were ultimately driven off by the 7th Fusiliers and 48th Regt. which came tip to support the Buffs. The greater part of the latter corps were, however, made prisoners, and sent to the rear. The brave Lathaui was turned over by a soldier ofthe 7th Fusiliers, and the colour whictt’be had thus preserved found under him. Latham was left on the field, summed to have bee? killetl, and the flag was sent on the evening ownig the battle to the head quarters of the Buffs, with, a statementof the manner oflits recovery.

"Latham, however, although so desperately wounded, was not killed; in two hours after- wards he crawled on his remaining hand and knees towards the river of Albuera, and'was found by some of the orderlies of the armyat- tempting to slake his thirst in the stream; he was carried into the convent, where his wounds ivere dressed, the stump of his arm ampiitaed, and he ultimately recovered. He immediately receivod his company in the “ Canadian Fanci- ble Infantry,” and1 an opportunity offering itself soon after, of an exchange into the corps his gallantry had so highly distinguishedplie re- mained with his comrades by whom he was so highly loved and esteemed.

The permission of the Soveeign was applied for, through the Commanderin-Cbief, and officially ranted, that Capt. Lathan should wear the me al presented by his cosrades in arms, suspended by a scarlet ribbon tagged with buff, at his broaat; which he contirt‘ied to do while he retiiain'od, in the corps, and b no doubt still preserves withhcare that honor badge.

" Latham. on his recovery from s wounds, joined the 2d Battalion of the Btifl's,whicli was stationed at Brighton in 1815. and we presented to the Sovereign, George the Fourththen Prince Regent, by his Colonel.

Latliam asscutd to this kind proposition ; the operation wasperformed in the summer of 18l5, by Mr. Carps, assisted by the Surgeon ofthe Bull's, Mr. Andraon, who still lives, (the author of this memoir tbsequent- ly attended with Mr. Carpue during is progress ofthe cure) and was attended with tlienst perfect success.

the sea rose over the spot to the height of about 15 feet, or not quite half so high as it did on occasion of the great explosion last year; a difference ascribable, probably, to the cylinder, on the present occasion, having been placed under the hull instead ofalongside o‘fit. The com- motion in the water, however, was so great as to cause the lumps and lighters to pitch and roll at a great rate. The whole surface ofthe sea, for several hundred yards round, was presently covered with dead fish and small fragments of the cylinder. Amongst these were innumerable tallow candles, and a mass of butter, a foot and a ‘half in length, evidently driven up from the purser’s store-room. As soon as the vast com- motion in the water had stibsided, and the boats had returned from the universal scramble for the candles and the dead fish, the diver proceed- ed again to the bottom, and soon reported that the whole stern of the ship had been driven to pieces, and that, so ,far as he could ascertain, there was now a free and wide channel directly fore and aft the ship, from stem to stern, through which both the flood and ebb tides will rush, and' thus the mud with which the bull ofthe Royal George has been silted for halfa century, will be washed out, and the way cleared for Colonel Pasley’s further operations. From the auspicious manner, indeed, in which he has commenced, there can be little doubt now ofultimate success. ——L0m10n Sun.
