are gratified, at the fall of two pillars," that once ornamented and sustained a tottering empire. The public will be much gratified, to know that the Major's misfortune is considerably abated, by the acquisition of two very great amateurs, whose attention to the interests of the library promises to give every due assistance to promote the interests of the establishment. This fortunate acquisition descends, in a direct line, from Murtagh Lacy, late of Merrion-row, Dairy-man, to his labours and Industry, for he was a good man in his day; the christian world, particularly the reformed part of it, owe a great deal of acknowledgment. Murtagh's posthumous fame will live as long as the established Church, the Major's memory, or the Irish Magazine, while true piety, emirent villany, or literary inquiry, are objects of public curiosity. The following books sold at high prices: Mr. Bloomfield's abridgment of the Statutes, printed at the Mass-lane press, with a handsome dedication to Mr. Cassidy of the Inner-temple, Greenstreet. This edition is illuminated with a curious collection of affidavits, made by the most distinguished professors of Bible hand, from Titus Oates, down to Tom Reynolds, and Sheeres Armstrong. A collection of Songs, written for the amusement of the Farming Society, by George Grierson. This volume contains a great fund of entertainment, and is worthy of the attention of Irish gentlemen, solicitous for the comforts of their live stock. The Author has a happy talent at description. The picture of an improved pig-stye is excellent; and the manner of education, for the grunting inhabitants, very instructive; dedicated to the Societies, for the improvement of the condition of the poor, and for distributing Bibles among the Irish. Essay on the Irish character, and a plan for making Caravats, on the shortest notice, by Major Row de dow, Commissioner for burning cabins, in the north east district. A statistical Survey of Lucan, by Major Sandys, with a correct map. on which is marked the produce of every acre, half acre, rood and perch in the town and vicinity, with the size, number of apartments, and accommodation of every whiskey house, from accurate drawings and actual measurements, made by the a sistance of observations had at every hour in the last week of Autumn,` by the aid of different glasses, of the most approved diameters. His account of the mutton of Lucan is not so accurate, as that of the other produce, as the ill nature of a butcher prevented the Major from trying experiments to his safaction. His Eulogiim on the house": of White, for the spirited proselyting, protestant spirit of the MAJOR, whose zeal to purge his regiment of popery, has made so much noise, is animated with becoming language, and appropriate sentiments of ardent loyalty. This charming treatise is dedicated to LUKE, the flying stationer, and ornamented with a likeness of Limerick Luttrell, Esq. An ingenious comparison between Browney's Cow and Hervey's Mare written by Hawky White. The author labours to show to the loyal reader, that both animals were the instruments and agents of rebellion, and attempts to prove, from the testimonies of several witnesses, that BROWNEY'S Cow was carnivorous, as she was frequently detected eating Orange-men; that the absence of NEWELL must be attri buted to this Cow, as well as the fate of many other gentlemen in the North of Ireland, who had been out on racking parties, driving the papists to Hell or Connaught, so far back as 1792, and have not yet returned to their respective dwellings. Hawtry thinks Brow ney's ney's Cow is lurking in his own neighbourhood, waiting for an opportunity to graze on the loyal, and advises a general search, by proclamation; he des ́cribes her, as having but one horn, as the other was lodged in an Ancient Briton, at Coolgraney, in the fatal meeting of 1798. Military movements, collected from the Works of Justice D, and Lord Blaney. The military reader will find some very Original Articles in this Treatise, such as every man of judgment would expect from two'eminent tacticians, such as the noble Lord and brave Justice have shown themselves, in the many arduous Campaigns they conducted. The Coombe expedition is discussed with all the accuracy such an important subject deserves. The volume is ornamented with a Portrait of the Doctor, giving the word of command from his garret window. Lord Blaney's likeness is also given in company with Sebastiani, who appears highly delighted at the vast genius and great talents, which the noble Lord displays in the relation of his campaigns in Ireland. LIST OF BERESFORD'S CAVALRY. The celebrated Corps, Beresford's light Horse, so distinguished in the Rathfarnham Campaign, & who name is so connected in the memoirs of Horish, we take the liberty of entering a list of them in our Registry, that postrity should not be strangers to the name and fate of such a constellation of Heroes: John Claudius Beresford, insolvent. Frederick Darley, a Policeman, and Abbot, dead. Sam Bradshaw, alive. Billy Warren, alive. Jemmy Ford, insolvent. Commodore Hunt, dead. Billy Large, dead.

Gentleman, residing in the town of Navan, and who had once been a catholic, en tertained at his house, amongst a number of others, four young gentlemen, one of them an officer in the army. The subsequent conduct of these young gentlemen, is a sufficient indication of the pious admonitions they received from their reverend entertainer." Flushed with insolence and wine," these heroes rushed from the house of their host, and armed with swords and bludgeons, scoured the streets of Navan, roaring out, croppy, lie down, down with the papists, down with the rebels, no popery, and protestant ascendancy;" at the same time brandishing their sticks, and striking fire out of the stones with their swords, to the terror of all the peaceable inhabitants who happened to be witnesses of their conduct. Not meeting with any opposition, they continued their march for a considerable time, until at length they came opposite the house of a shoe-maker, who was then looking over his shop door. The Gentlemen, surprised that the Son of Crispin was not terrified at their appear. ance, asked him "what he looked at." The answer was explicit, at four damn'd puppies ;" this fired the indig nation of the querists, and instantly TA their opponent, who, after giving one of them two or three slight stabs upon the breech, broke their swords in pieces. One of these fugitives having got into his own house, took a gun, loaded with large shot, which he discharged amongst a parcel of people, who had now assembled as spectators; luckily no material injury was sustained by any of the persons present, altho' seven grains of shot were lodged in the hat of one man, and two or three more had their clothes perforated with the shot. Respect for the father of one of those young gentlemen, who was always the friend of publishing the names of any of the percatholics, prevents us at present from petrators of this outrage, hoping that the bare mention of the transaction will prevent its recurrence.. it Bible Exercise. The members of the battalion of testimony are generally put to their exercise, or, in the languge of the stage, rehearsed, once in every month; as frequent recurrence to the use of any business enables a man to go through it with ease and correctness... The battalion, like a military body, has serjeants and corporals to direct the subdivisions, when on actual service; the most distinguished of these officers are Serjeant Firethatch and Corporal Biblemouth. The Serjeant took his cognomen, by the learned advice of the Major, from the high reputation he ac quired in 1797 and 1798, by the various and laborious in nuity he displayed he Corporal, like taken a new as a cabin burner.

When the Corporal can be spared from the many duties he has to perform in Dublin, such as Jug smelling, or putting the younger members through their exercise on the Testament, he attends in the country, to assist small gentlemen to the perquisites given by the different banking-houses, for convicting fellows of forgeries; by this last branch of business, he would be able to realise a good competency, but his attachment to his Honor in Dublin, would not allow him to have the trade } of tippling neglected, nor the young students in divinity left in a total ignorance of their profession." The Corporal has a few questions and answers for the purpose of drilling, that give great help to the young student. Corp. Who is the greatest man? Ans. The Major. Corp. How did he become the greatest man? Ans. Because he at one time governed this great city without law, and now governs it bye law. Corp. Who made this law? Corp. What hand is that next your buttons? Ans. My sword and bible hand. Corp. What's the use of the two articles? Ans. To fight or swear for the Corp. Who is the Major afraid of? Ans. To relieve the Major from his enemy. Corp. How is that to be done? Ans. By the law, the sword, and the gospels. Corp. How will you use them? Ans. As the Major or our Corporal requires. Abstract Abstract of a Journal kept in Maryland, in the years 1805 and 1806. In JAN. 19, 1-06. To-day I attended the quarterly meeting of the methodists at Reister's Town; there might be three hundred hearers. The preachers sing continually the same changes upon man's fall, grace, and faith; the same groaning and grunting as before. They concluded by giving notice, that there would be evening service. "Let us (said one of the preachers, Bloodgood) have another stroke at the devil." truth, their devotion resembles a brawl or a fight, more than that of rational beings, calmly and seriously contemplating the tender mercies and dispensations. of the Father of the universe," and intent on proving their faith in, and dependance upon him, by an edifying life and conversation. These people seem to think they can take Heaven by storm, and keep the devil away by a hell of their own. 26. Went to Baltimore, and accompanied two gentlemen to the other side of the eastern Water, off the point to a near spot called Canton, the seat of the late John O'Donnel, Esq. It is an excellent brickhouse, fronting the southwest of the bason, and commanding a view of the bay. The late owner acquired an immense property in the East Indies; and by bringing over excellent breeds of cattle from England, contributed to his usefulness and celebrity. But his public-spirited plans for supplying Baltimore, and the shipping, with water, by means of pipes, and his other Encouragements to the rising prosperity of the city, together with his unbounded hospitality and charity, have endeared his memory to the public, to his friends, and to the unfortunate. In the afternoon, I went to the fort, where there is a good tavern: it is a retort on Sundays for purposes of pleasure. There were about fifty soldiers on the evening parade. The fort was erected about five years ago. It is octangular, the entrance facing the eastby-north, three of its sides the east, south-east, and east-by-south, which command the entrance in the bason, the bay, and Patapsico river They mount 28 and 18-pounders. Over the gateway in the entrance, and niched into the brick-work, is a piece of beautiful sculpture in stone, representing the Eagle and Seventeen States. The sculptor was a Frenchman. Nearly opposite the entrance, and about two hundred yards from it, is the old fort, which was made pincipally by the citizens themselves, on the alarm of a French war. The spirit of gambling is considerable in Baltimore, and dissipation of all kinds very prevalent. I accompanied a gentleman to a raffle, at Bryden's tavern: it was for a time-piece of considerable value. After that was raffled for, the company began to play with dice, at a game called snap and raffle. The next day, somebody informed against forty of them, and the fine was fifteen dollars a head, half to the corporation and half to the informer; but it being optional in the mayor to remit the one-half, he did so, merely, I fancy, because they were called gentlemen, and did not exactly come under the description of gamblers by profession. Jan. 8. At last I met with Bthis morning; he had bea at George Town. He attended once the debates in Congress, but the place is so large, he could not understand what was said. He gave me some account of a masquerade and ball, at which were present all the diplomatic characters, The Tripolitan ambassador took a fancy to a young lady of tolerable en-bon-point. In the morning he waited upon the presi dent, and requested permission to take five wives, at the same time pointing out the above-mentioned lady as one.
