feen remedies applied to one part of I am, Sir, Maynooth College, January 19, 1810. J DENMARK-STREET frequented the Chapel at the late Maffes, and whofe grinning and talking to each other, and ogling and staring at the young women, and every fpecies of frivolous impudence, were extremely fcandalous to the congregation. For the fake of my family, and to avoid their being fcandalized, I have, for this last twelve months, brought them to Mary s-lane Chapel, and refolved never more to visit Denmark-ftreet; however, hearing from a neighbour about the letters in your Magazine refpecting the buckeens, L really went to fee how matters went on last Sunday, and to my great furprize I never witneffed fuch reforma tion every one was kneeling at the Elevation, there was none of the old impudence amongst the coxcombs; fo much was their conduct proper, that I'll venture to bring my family there next Sunday: for I fuppofe, as long as your Magazine continues, that you will keep a watch upon them, and teach them manners, and make them afraid of going on with their old capers. I heard feveral of the paristioners drink your health for the fervice you have done religion and the parish; and indeed I am sure, that the bishop and the friars will give you, Mr. Cox, every proof of their thankfulness for the service you have done their Chapel, by fubfcribing for, and recommending your Magazine. I heard fome of the Liffey freet priefs To the Editor of the Irish Magazine. fpeak against you, and fay that you SIR, I am an inhabitant of Mary's Parish, and the father of a family fome. what grown. My daughters are fight ly girls, and my fons have arrived at the age of obferving things tharply. I used to frequent Denmark-street Chapel, where I could never hear Mals without obftruction from the number of jackeens, as they call them, and impudent young fellows, who drove all the black guards from Denmark-street down to their Chapel ;and now, what would you think if you could spare time of a Sunday to hear a couple of Maffes in Liffeyftreet Chapel, and give a quietus to the poor, fober, decent people, who wish to hear Mafs for the fake of praising God, and fanctifying the fabbath day. However, keep Denmarkftreet Chapel quiet, and let me bring my family peaceably to hear Mais, and : and I dont care about Liffey-ftreet. Sure Dr. Troy ought to makethe pup pies behave better in his own Chapel; he is a Bishop, and can do more than Father Betagh or Doctor Hamil; and God help any jackanaps, if he went on with any capers in their Chapels. But that is nothing to me, fo my own turn is anfwered just do you guard Denmark-ftreet, where my daughters hear Mafs, and let every parish prieft take care of his own Chapel. My dear Mr. Cox, when you get out of Newgate, for robbing the Stamp Of fice of that poor dirty two and twopence, if you call upon me in Bri tain freet, I'll fhew you that I think nothing in my houfe too good for you. B H. SALE OF PICTURES. Continued from Page 16. Mr. Sims, the Barber, in the attitude of delivering a learned harangue in the Common Council against the Catholic Petition, is done in a capital ftyle of painting, by Mr. Solomon Williams, painter extraordinary to the Major. The only defect in the picture is, that the colouring of the Shaver's face is too rarified a la Tumbler. Alderman Thorpe, when a boy, by the fame artift, is highly finished; the handle of the Hod is too long; and the mortar in it is fo much like Dough, that an obferver would mif take the youth to be a baker, instead of a plaiterer, only the veffel it is in at once declares the occupation. The hat is gapped and lime-burnt with great kill, and the hair it rides on extremely natural. an account with an old nailor from Kevin-freet. The athletic form of the client is fo well done, that we venture to fay it would not difgrace the beft pencil of the Flemish fchool; the affecting manner he départs from his bed, which he leaves as a depofit to balance the fettlement, is accurately expreffed; the old ftocking with which he wipes his eyes, is wonderfully executed. Feddy Jones, and the three brothersin-law, Counsellors Smyly and Bushe, and the Deputy Manager of Crowftreet theatre, (Mr. Crampton) arranginga plan for regulating the public talle for theatrical exhibitions. Mr. Bufhe's face is very incorrectly drawn: the chin does not retire enough, nor does the nofe advance as it ought; the gaps in the pupils of his eyes are omitted, nor does he appear with the earnest countenance fo peculiar to himself. A French Ex-Noble, felling his patent of nobility and his title deeds to a tailor in John's-lane, is a very affecting picture. Saip's indifference for the waxen appendages is ftrongly marked, and the humble condition of the cafhiered peer equally well expreffed; the tenpennys on the counter appear as well executed as any in the bank. The talents of the artist in this point of colouring, give an high idea of his equal merit, either as a painter or a coiner. Lord Fitzgibbon, and his favorite cat, is most correctly finished. Jemmy O'Brien, faying his prayers in his cell in Newgate, and drawing a bill in favor of his children on the Major, for the four hundred guineas, is inimitable; the struggle between the pathons of hope and defpair, are ftrongly marked in the difconfolate inftrument of religion and loyalty. A view in Mullinaback: Lord Vif count Naggin rehearsing a fpeech, to be delivered at the next Catholic Mr. Bloomfield in his fedy fettling meeting, in favour of the Veto, is an excellent ures ures excellent portrait; the fmiles of approbation on the faces of the clerks and porters, at the eloquence of the Sugar-house Sovereign, indicate too much of hypocrify; however, the painter has made his hero appear highly pleafed at the manner his language is received; the broken nofed vice deputy is a moft capital likeness, and his attention to his mafter well imagined. practice of eating, in the mistress nation. Claudius, fettling the difpute be tween Horifh the fweep and Lord Charlemont, by an appeal to the triangle; the peer looks with an air of triumph at the manner Horifh expreffes his diflike to the mode of adjustment. A large painting, fix feet by five, formerly the property of Oliver Bond, from whom it was taken by the Major: It reprefents Bantry Bay, and Mr. Murphy, returned from London, after prefenting the Catholic Pe tition with Lord Fingal; the grandn its banks an extenfive commercial proceffion through Smithfield is a fine piece of colouring, and the groups well connected; the gentle fhepherds mounted on Bull-stags, efcorting their chieftain to Veto-lodge, the refidence of Bishop Troy, are well drawn, and their appearance, though not very ṛu. ral, yet very appropriate. Lord Fingal introducing his fon to the heads of the Prefbyterian Col lege of Edinburgh, as an eleve, is a tolerable painting; the fneers of the Scotch doctors at the affected liberality, and the apparent lupidity of the Irish peer, are defcribed in a mafterly wanner. Mr. Latouche preaching a fermon to a crowd of pealants in the county of Wicklow; his affiftant on the mif. fion, Kent, the honest buxterman, dif. tributing tenpennys to fix the hear ers; unites the finest colouring and correct drawing; the preacher's face expreffes the atmoft feeling for the fafety of the neighbouring fouls; the manner of depicting the shortness of human life, by counting on his fingers, is intelligible in the ftrongest man 'Der. An English manufacturer finging the" Roaft Beef of O'd ngland," while his wife is preparing his din ner from a fegment of bullock's liver; the picture, though deficient in grandeur, gives a good account of the diftinction between the theory and city, fhips building and refitting; two appear launching off the stocks, each pierced for 100 guns, on the ftern of one is written, "Erin go Bragh," and on the other," The Anti-Anglican." The Big Beggarman at the head of a guard of English foldiers, encompaffing a nunnery, under pretence of d fcovering an "arch deed of piteous malfacre," is only inferior to Angelo's picture of the infernal regions; the fright and horror depicted on the faces of the aged nuns on one fide, and the diabolical felicity feated on the brow of the Beggarman, at the profpect of developing popish depravity, on the other, are inimitably pourtrayed. In the back ground the Beggarman is feen, after his difappointment, fneaking off. In this part the painter has given him the countenance and attitude of Macklin in Shylock, when baulked of the pound of Chriftians' flesh. Counsellor O'Connell at the Tra lee Jubilee dinner; this is an excellent allegorical painting; the lawyer is reprefented with a painter's brush in his right hand, covered with a yellow paint, very difgufting to the fpectator, which he appears to be laying on Lord Granard, who is fubmitting to the operation with great complacency; in his left hand the barrister holds a placard, with this motto, "May the i Ki g years to King, Lord Granard, and the Munfter lawyers, live a thousand gether; his Majesty to govern slaves, Lord Granard to prefide at annual Jubilee dinners, and the Munfter Jawyers to give them both, occasion ally, a touch of the Blarney" he pugilistic Alefeller is a good picture, in the ftile of Hogarth, or the Dog's progrefs; the different gradations of his life, from kitchen boy to master of a tavern, are happily defcribed. This painting has every charactéristic trait of a ruffian, but we recommend the artifl to choofe more exalted fubjects. The Major and the Rev. Mr. Taafe is a capital piece of painting; the Major is feen infpecting a book of logarathims taken with Mr. Taafe, and flernly interrogating him where the fortifications flood, defcribed in the book; the forefhortening of Mr. Taafe's neck convulfed with laughter at the ignorance of the Major, and the Major's afpect like Satan in Pandemonium, are indubitable proofs of the painter's talents. The Jubilee Affes-a Caricature— is excellem; it defcribes two affes ftrangely caparisoned; one of them is covered with a gorgeous trapping of Flanders lace, he is in very good condition, and labelled on the back, "The roperty of a loyal Butcher;" } the other is covered with a multitude of petitions from yeomen for their pay, he is alfo labelled, "A Corpo ration Distiller's Afs," and appears to be lank and difcoloured about the nofe they are feen marching before the proceffion on its way to the Rotunda, to celebrate the Jubilee. Judge Bobadil threatening to fend a county jury to its verge in turf kishes, is the production of a country artift; he appears much difpleafed with the jurynen for keeping him from his dinner, when they had only to find a Caravat guilty; near him on the bench is a Marquis, who feems to be liftening very attentively to his defi nition of the law on turf kishes, an architectural defcription of the new bridge to be built near the courts, and an hiftory of the war in Spain, all which fubjects he treats of together; the painter defcribes him as poffefling the gift of tongues,' which enables him to fpeak on ten different fubjects at once, and be equally well understood by his hearers on each of them. ་ Doctor Duigenan making a speech in the Imperial Commons House, against the papils; a very good painting. The members furrounding him, appeared with perfumed hand. kerchiefs to their nofes: Mr. Shaw is feen, with the ghost of Giffard be hind him dictating a fpeech: Mr. Percevalappears occupied with Her vey's Meditations: Lord Caftlereagh in a corner, reading Plato on the Immortality of the Soul; and Mr. Canning compofing a monody for the Duke of York. We observed Colonel Wardle amongst a group, with a Welsh rabbit in his hand, and a label from his mouth, importing the want of butter to drefs the rabbit. We did not recognize Mr. Grattan, as the painter introduced fo much of the Clair obfcure into this piece, that all the fkulkers were concealed. Mr. Hans Hamilton in the Imperial House of Commons, making a yawn against the Catholic Bill, is the best piece in the collection; the artist reprefents him with his mouth wide open (with which he hears), and almost fuffocated by the fleams of Dr. Duigenan's fpeech; in his right hand he holds a Book of Common Prayer, on a blank leaf of which is the price of bank ftock, which he appears to be contemplating with the most pious fervour. In the event of a peace, we have no doubt but Bonaparte will direct this piece to be purchased for the National Inflitute. IMPOR IMPORTANT EXTRACTS FROM THE NEWSPAPERS. THE Dublin Society have graciously and patriotically requefted of Mr. Pofter to fit for his picture, for the purpofe of hanging it in their hall. A committee, compofed of the following gentlemen, waited on the Irish patriot, at his refidence, two pair of ftairs high in Moran's Hotel: -the Major, John Claudius Beresford, Hawtry White, Hunter Gowan, Major Swan and Juftice Codfrey, were very politely received by Mr. Fofter, who was pleafed to exprefs the highest compliments to his learned vifitors, for the high flate of forwardnefs the arts have arrived to, under the judicious arrangements adopted by them, as leading members of the fociety. Some provident members of the fociety objected to the expense of getting a new picture, as they conceived the one, at prefent in the house, fufficiently expreffive, were the noftrils bored fomething wider, and the yel. low tint of the countenance a little deepened. The Duke of Richmond, with his accustomed attention to contribute to patronize the manufactures of Ireland, honored the Inftallation ball, at the Rotunda, with his prefence, The dreffes, we are told, worn on the occafion, were of the Irish loom, with the exception of the military gentlemen, who compofed a confide rable majority of the company. The tradefmen of the Liberty, with a bee coming gratitude, infeparable from the Trifi character, have agreed to erect a statue of the best Monaftereven turf, executed by Irish artists, to commemorate the gracious protec. tion Irish industry has received from the houfe of Richmond. Counsellor O'Gorman's speech, at the Catholic meeting at Ennis, Januthe time, in the opinion of Some of ary 4th, though very well given at his friends, has been confiderably improved in the carriage to Dublin;like wine, his productions are amended by travelling. As foon as his parent dulcifies un points it, a new edi tion will be given to the public.

On Christmas-day the Major made a very valuable prefent to each of the minor officers of the battalion: to Bible mouth, an elegant edition of the New eftament, bound and gilt, to Jugfmeller, a very neat finelling bot tle, formerly the property of Mr. Thomas Braughall; to Firethatch, a very excellent model of a pitch cap, found in the collection of the late illuminating Captain Swayne-this cap is of fuch an elastic property, that it will clofely fit the head of any Walking Candlellick, whenever any dif trit may be declared in a state of disturbance. On Saturday the neighbourhood of College-green was crouded by an unufual concourfe of people; it was occafioned by the novelty of two noblemen's carriages, which continued more than two hours in the streets.
