On Aston's-quay, Dublin, John Hoey, Coal-factor; in the reign of terror, in 1798, he was one of the firm of John Claudius, the Major, and Co. who whipped and governed the wretched inhabitants of Dublin-he figured away during that horrid period, in the Beresford light horse, as corporal in that celebrated corps

he acted as deputy inspector of tor. tures, in the riding-house, Marlboroughgreen-under his directions, Horish received his supplementary flogging, which led to the death of that victim-he acted as one of the out-riders to the flying triangles, paraded every day through the streets; and actually was the person who stripped Mr. Joseph Wall, of Dorsetstreet, an eminent pawn-broker, quite naked at the unfortunate man's door, in presence of his affrighted wife, and children; and after conducting him, exposed naked in a sand cart, through the city, brought him in military triumph to the flogging machine, where he suffered repeatedly under the hands of the black operator.

James Nangle, Esq. At his seat, Kildalky, County Kildare, He was born in Spain, of Irish parents, was elegantly of considerable erudition. He devoted a educated, an accomplished gentleman, and considerable part of his life to promote the emancipation of his catholic brethren, of which religious community he was a member. He contributed, by his good temper and judicious advice, to give spirit and becoming dignity to the councils of the Catholic body. His loss at this eventful period is a national calamity.

Wogan Browne, Esq. He was educated At Castle Wogan, County Kildare, like his ancestors, in the Catholic fai h, but resigned it a few years since, for the established forms of English Christianity, and English politics, the almost natural result of conformity. His brother, who succeeds him in his estates, continues in the religion proscribed by law, and is at present an officer of high rar.k in the service of the king of Saxony. He was in this country in 1798, and took a very ac tive part against his flogged country.

a Squire Battersby, to deposit the infant in one of the branch nurseries, to be added to those precocious proselytes, who were destined by the law to sustain the colony and the state, by their political and religious belief in the omnipotence of English politics, and English Christianity. After passing through the small pox, the virulence of which disease was yet but imperfectly diverted by the invention of inoculation, or the more recent discovery of extracting the gum of Cow pistules, or Tree pistules, he went through all the orders of the nursery and academy, until he was declared of sufficient age to be put under the restraints of apprenticeship. This new and important era in his History, took place on the 12th of July, 1762, one of the shooting terms for the disposing of our superabundant population, and the third year of the reign of the father of the present Prince Regent. The person who we are obliged in our historical duty to immortalize with our hero, was Benjamin Horsenail, a Williamite, and Farrier, who added the profession of Publican to his mechanical one, at the well-known sign of the "Three Blue Boys, burning a crucifix in Meeting-house-yard."

It was in this seminary, young Limberlip received the finishing part of his theological and political education, as the house was at that day the most celebrated resort of all the French emigrant Weavers, Dyers, and Silk Throwsters, who had fled from France, under the operation of the revocation of the edict of Nantz, and who took refuge in Ireland, to enjoy all the liberty and comforts which looms and buttermilk afforded to their illustrious sufferings. Mr. Latouche, Allerman Barre, and Mr. Due Hang, the Recorder, were successively honor ed ia Horsenail's house, by the President's chair. With such occasional advantages of religious and loyal educa

on, which he could spare from the

avocations of the anvil, he made the best advantage in the first two years; his historical knowledge of the popery laws, for expelling the French tomb robbers, and cross breakers, and the Protestant laws for confiscating lands, for the high crimes of having property, and exercising superstition, in Ireland, was not surpassed by any candidate in the clubs instituted for the suppression of idolatry, and the discovery of Popish titles to lands, horses, and tenements. At the expiration of his apprenticeship, he became a freeman in the Smith's Corporation, and succeeded in expelling a Popish fellow tradesman, from his dwelling and shop in Werburgh-strect, for exercising his trade, contrary to a law enacted for preventing Papists from following or exercising any trade or calling in the City of Dublin. After this legal triumph over disaffection and idolatry, he became a very distinguished City Officer, was appointed to the care of the water engine of Bride's Parish, on the evermemorable day that the father of the present Right Honourable Patrick Duigenan was buried, after exercising the duties of School-master in the charity seminary of the same parish more than twenty years, with the approbation of every person who values our inestimable, civil, and religious institutions; for it should be known that no professor before him, in the College of St. Bridget, had the honor of training up so many remarkable persons for loyalty, as the good master Dignum; he was a Busby among parish teachers.

To return to the direct history of Limberlip, he successively served the offices of Warden, and Master of the Corporation, and representative in the Common Council. His speeches in that august assembly, on great constitutional questions, are said to be the best, in point of composition, that have been uttered in the Council since the celebrated discourse of Long
