~, . I SONNET. .--...1.N.-- When twilight's sombrous tints &et-spread the scene, And Cynthia's silvery orb, in so!enin state, Bides in the blue expanse, I hive to stray Where the rich foliage hangs the darksonte beach Over the dusky stream.—The eddying water Plays round yon moss-grown stone, with trembling light, While its soft plaintive murmurs meet the ear, In dying cadence—From the mouldering tower, Whose shadow rests tirm the broken wave, Forth flits the leathern bat—Novi while I list To the sett titikl'ng of the distant bell, My soul attuted to harmony and peace, Learns to forget its cares.—'Tis the still hour Of sweet serenity and tranquil joy'. ORIGIN OF BARTHOLOMEW FAIR. Maitland says, king Henry 11. granted to the Priory of St. Bat tholomew the privilege of a Fair, to he kept yearly at Bartholomew Tide, for three days, to which the clothiers of England and drapers of London re paired, and that their booths and standings within the church-yard of this priory, closed in the walls and gates, were locked every night, and watched, for the safety of men's goods and wares. A Court of Pie-poudi e was held daily during the Fair, for debts and contracts. The Fair kept here, instead of three days, was at length prolonged to a fortnight, and became of little other use than for idle youth and lonce pen d le to resort to, and to spend their money in vanity, di unkenness, &c. Therefore the Magistracy, in 1708, teduced the Fair to that space of rime only to which it was first granted, i. e. to three days. At a Court of Common Council, in June in the said year, when some petitions were offered for revoking the former order, upon certain inconveniences, as the great falling of the rents in St. Bartholomew's Hospi tal, and of the great losses that many of the inhabitants in and about West Smithfield must suffer; yet, upon the consideration of the great mischiefs and disorders that had arisen by the long continuance of the said Fair, the petitions for prolonging the time were rejected, and the order confirmed, whereby the Fair was to be kept for three days only, for selling of merchandizes, according to the original grants from the Crown ; which regulation, though it has been sometimes broke, the Chief Magis trate has of late years strictly observed."—See Mat. land's London, p. 989. The reason of faits being held near some cathedral or monastery, on the anniversat y, dedication, or on the festival of the Saint to whom it was dedicated, seems to have been as follows :—When Bishops and Abbots observed that crowds of people assembled from all places to celebrate the festivals of their patron Saints, they took advantage of this circumstance and applied to the crown for charters to hold 'fairs at those times, for the accommodation of strangers, and with a view to increase their own revenues by the tolls, which their charters authorised them to levy at these fairs. Hence the multitude of attendants increased, some of whom were actuated by religious, and others by commercial views. When a fair was held within the precincts of a cathedral or monastery, it was not uncommon to oblige every man to take an oath at the gate before he was admitted, that he would neither lie, nor steal, nor cheat, while he continued at the fair.—See Muratorrs Dissertations. Burton, in his curious account of London and Westminster, pub lished 1691, says," one Cannel, the hangman of London, and two others, were /wage/ near Clerkenwell, for robbing a booth in Bar tholomew Fair." A fellow who was tried for felony before Lord Mansfield, at the Old Bailey, when called upon for his defence, said, " My Lord, the last witness has swore false ; it was impos sible that I could have been guilty of the crime that I am charged with."—" Why so?" said his Lordship. " Because, my Lord, I was at that very time at Bartelmy Fair, pricking at the belt."— " Pricking at the belt !" said the Noble Judge, " what is that?" What, my Lord! don't you know ? Why, it is the &eat rig that's goixig."—See Mirror, Aug. 21. Mr. JAMES EMERSON, of Belfast, late of Trinity Col lege, Dublin, has been Appointed, under the immediate patronage of the Gi eek Committee, to proceed to Athens. The principal object of his visiting Greece is to super intend the affairs of the Press, and by every means in his power advance the interests of literature in that country. JAMSS'S-STREET,DUBLI , N,POLMEOFFICF- - Saturday evening, between eight and nine o'clock, Major Dawson having received information that property to the amount of 1,0001. was concealed in a gravel pit off the Long-lane, near the Royal Hospital, proceeded to the place, and found an immense quantity of raw silks, together with a variety of other materials in raw unmanufactured goods, which he secured and caused to be lodged in the Police-office, James's-street. A woman was appre hended on Bow-btidge, with two parcels of the same quality of articles as those found in the Long-lane. A farmer of the name of Brick, was murdered at a place called Battavin, county Kerry, on the 30th ult. by two of his neighbours, named Griffin and Mahoney; it arose out of a dispute about a few hens belonging to the latter, that had committed some trespass in a corn field. EXECUTIONS.—T. Lynch, alias Caki, convicted at the late Assizes for Waterford, of having robbed Anne Geoghegan of money and apparel, at Crahane, was executed on Saturday week. He made no public ob servations si ith respect to the crime for which be suf fered; but previous to his being brought out, he con.' fessed to the robber y.—Saturday se'nnight, W. Banelt underwent the dreadful sentence of the law at Gallows green, Cork. 011 arriving at the scaffold, and hav ing ascent:ed it, he addressed a few admonitory words to the vast multitude who attended ; the fatal rope being adjusted, and ail preliminaries gone through, the drop fell, and in less than a minute existence seemed to have fled. He was about '2B years old, and well-looking.— The executions which have taken place as yet on the Minister Circuit wcie entirely for murder :—They were, at Ennis, Honora Coircannon, for the murder of the old man at Coral' ; at Limerick, Patrick Minnane and John Green, murder of istijor Hare Murtogh Flin, Daniel Flirt, and Charles Dawley, murder of Hartnett, the Hon. Col. Fitzgibbon's driver ; at Tralee, Timothy Cotter, murder of Fitzg ibbon Brereton ; and at Cork, Jeremiah Iloolahan, murder of Denis Malrony, near Bantry ; and Timothy Hannan and John Hannan, murder of Daniel Killigrew. In all, eleven human beings immolated to the outraged laws of society. The only instances of execution for insurgent proceedings were those in the county of Limerick, and that of Cotter, in Tralee, which offences were committed more than tweyears ago. A bee-hive belonging to James Cattanach, at. Wood end of Iltise, has this season produced the extraordinary 'lumber of eight swarms. Tl:e hive itself has swarmed four times, and each of the two first swarms has swarmed twice. The first, rr what is called the tip, swarmed a third time, but the soar m went back to the hive. Another person in the same parish has had twenty-one swarms from six hives. LAUNCH OF THE CANADIAN RAFT. -.-.0.-- FROM THE QUEBEC MERCURY OF JULY 31. The long-expected launch of the great ship took place on Wednesday morning last, at the Point of the island of Orleans, in presence of a large concourse of people. The St. Lawrence, which but a few years ago, compa. ratively speaking, had borne on its wave only the rudely-constructed canoe of the native Indian, has now floating on its waters the largest ship in existence, or of the building of which for navigable purposes we have any authentic record. This immense vessel has, with great propriety, been named the Columbus. Her dimensions are as follow :—Length 300 feet, breadth of beam 50 fret, and depth of hold 30 feet : her model is also as extraordinary as her dimensions, being precisely that of a Canadian batteau, that is, per fectly flat-bottomed and wall-sided, and the stern and stern-post nearly or altogether perpendicular, and both ends sharp alike, without any fulness, as is the case in bows and sterns of ships of the usual construction; so that her floor may be compared to a parallelogram, with an acute equicrural triangle at either extremity. Her tonnage by register is 3,690 tons; but she is thought to be capable of carrying at least 6,000 tons freight; her stowage is somewhat embarrassed by the massy beams which connect her side timbers, or she would probably freight 7,000 tons. Wednesday, at half-past, or 35 minutes past seven, this ponderous mass was put in motion with as much facility as any smaller vessel, and slid majestically into the St. Lawrence. The length of the ways was some what less than 600 feet, and precisely one minute elapsed between the period when she mcved and that of her reaching the water, her entrance into which was greeted by appropriate airs from the military bands in attendance, and repeated salutes from the guns of the steam-boats, and some which had been planted on the shore for that purpose. Her ways were much scorched by the friction of her motion, and so great a smoke arose, That distant spectators imagined some accident to have taken place. From her peculiar construction in the wedge-like form of her stern, and the small pro portion her breadth bears to her length, she created but little swell, even the smallest boats were hardly tossed, and no sensible motion was experienced on board the steam-boats and larger vessels. Three of her four masts were standing; that is, the first and second main-masts, and her try-sail mast. The sheers were also up for stepping the foremast, and her bowsprit was in ; the whole of these appear so small, when compared with the bulk of her hull, that they look like jury spars; her main-sail is not larger than that of a small 74. As soon as she lost way, she was taken in tow by the steam-boats Swiftsure, Lady Sher brooke, and Malsham ; and conducted to the Montmo. renci Channel, where she dropped her anchor, which did not appear to be larger than we have seen on board *a first-rate ship of war. The weight is Mom 2qrs. DISAPPOINTMENTS OF THE SEASONS. Our enemies charge us with being a nation of grum blers, but in fact no people under the sun are exposed to so many disappointments as ourselves. Every month. brings with it its disappointments. The shooting sea son commences, and every newspaper instantly takes a pleasure in assuring us that there are no partridges—. this is always the story ; nay, we never recollect a season when there were any partridges; from the beginning of time the young birds have always either perished flora the drought, or been destroyed by the excessive mois. tare, and those one eats too often confirm the mean. choly tidings, having evidently escaped the mortality by the unparalleled toughness of their constitutions, cal., cnlated to set the tooth of man and time at defiance.' In the autumn there is always an abundance of unripe plums, a pennyworth of which will perhaps be eaten by some poor man in great grief and distress of mind, who has just seen the last pleasantry at the Theatre, and cannot afford to purchase oxalic acid ; but ask for a peach or a nectarine, and the answer invariably is, and has been ever since the Garden of Eden flourished, it There is no wall-fruit this year, Sir; the sharp east winds in the spring months cut up all the young blos soms; but we have some particularly well grown pumpkins, if you are partial to them." The oldest man living does not recollect any wall fruit—it is a mere name, a phantom of the mind's palate—let people be undeceived, they will never eat any more peaches or nectarines—none of our fine fruits survive the spring, . . like other superior natures, they perish in the bud, and leave the • 1 ne'er do wells" to thrive and prosper in the world. Indeed, when we consider the great improve- ments which have for years past been taking place in storms, we cannot be surprised that our fruits should suffer proportionately—hail-stones were never so fine as now, and as they are always largest in the last shower, there is no setting limits to their aggrandisement, and we do not despair of being knccked down by a single icicle before we die. In every account of a storm of wind, it will also be observed, that it is invariably de scribed as being the most tremendous ever known in the memory of man, which proves that tempests, like the last quarter's revenue, are ever increasing. Read the Ship News of any one month, and you will per- ceive that the last storm is sure to be the greatest. This is the age of improvements, but nothing, it must be confessed, has made such progress as our bad weather. Saturday afternoon, a newly-invented fire-escape was being exhibited from a house in the New-road, St. Pan cras, when John Cooper, a bricklayer, who was passing, took a fancy to try its operation. Having got leave of a bookseller (who admits he was never authorised to grant such permission), he ascended about fifty feet up a ladder, and in attempting to get into a cradle at the top, upon putting one foot into it, the whole of the ma chine overturned sideways, and the poor fellow was precipitated to the ground. He died shortly after, and an Inquest was yesterday held on the body, when the inventor explained that there was a stay rope to steady the machine, which should have been adjusted previ ously to any attempt to descend. The Jury, after a long consultation, returned a verdict—That the deceased's death was accidental, and was caused by neglect of due caution in all parties. Several very bad cases of typhus and scarlet fever have lately occurred in Aberdeen, which in some in stances have proved fatal. One of these cases was of a most distressing nature, scarlet fever and putrid sore throat having got into the family of a tradesman, of the name of Mitchell, residing in the Shipr.,w, all of whose children, four in number, were, in the short space of siz days, cut off by this dreadful malady ; their ages were from 15 months to eight years, and they died af ter being about six days ill each, two of them in one d.iy. The mother, it is painful to add, was takers ill on Thursday, as there is reason to fear from the symp toms, of the same fatal disorder. NEW ROADS... Among the improvements undertaken in London and the environs, none seem more useful than the exten sive works now going on for making new roads and levelling hills. In Kent and Surrey the advantages gained this way are highly important. Shooter's-hill, which some time since was almost insurmountable, is now much more easy of ascent. The soil to a great depth has been cut away from the highest part, and thrown into the declivity, in consequence of which great relief is afforded to the horses, and the progress, of travellers much accelerated. Solid chalk hills have' been cut through near Northfleet, and the road much 1 improved. In Surrey, the new road now making from Wandsworth over Wimbledon-common to Kingston ad vances rapidly. The workmen are now cutting through Robinhood-hill, and with the soil they have raised a level which is to be carried to the new road on the Heath. The ground is removed in machines upon an iron railway, and shot into the valley which forms the bed of the road. When this raised ground forms a junction with the road on the Heath, the Public will have a beautiful level carriage-way on the south of the road now used. It is to intersect the Kingston road near Coombe Warren, and the rise above Robin hood toll-gate will thereby be removed. A great num ber of labourers are employed on this extensive work, and the masses of soil already separated from the height through which a passage is to be effected, affords a remarkable appearance. Similar exertions in other parts near London chew spirit of activity whiCh cannot fail in producing some of the best roads in the world. ---~•~ - ~~ POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. Murdock O'Brian, a native of India, but of Irish parents, was brought up before the Lord Mayor for begging in the streets. It appeared that the Indian came to this country in 1810, and returned in 1812, where he worked for ten years after in an indigo manu factory ; at that time he was deprived of his employ, and without having time to make an appeal, was shipped for this country, and landed without a halfpenny in his pocket. The LORD Mayon said the case was one of great hardship, and recommended the Indian to apply to the Directors, who would see that justice was done. - - - GUILDHALL. ll'alto and William Narcy, father and son, were charged with robbing the Barnet carrier of two chests of tea. The prisoners stopped the carter opposite the George Inn, and said they had been sent by Messrs. Bedwell and Yates, of St. John-street, who had made a mistake about the five chests of - tea which they had deli vered to him, and they must take two of them back again. Finch unsuspectingly let them take the chests, and they made off. Finch could not swear to William Narey. but Walter was committed for the felony. William Narey, however, was detained on suspicion of having robbed the Windsor waggon in a similar manner a short time since. _ BOW-STREET. Margaret Barry, a decent looking woman, underwent a final ex aminatior. on a charge of uttering base and counterfeit money. It appeared that the prisoner had passed a bad half-crown to a publi can in Hanover-street, and on her endeavouring to dispose of another near the same spot for a trifling article, she was pursued and taken into custody. The Solicitor of the Mint attended, and distinctly proved both the half-crowns to be counterfeit, and made from the same die. The prisoner was fully committed for trial. In our Paper of Tuesday se'nnight, we stated that an application was made on the preceding day at this Office, by a Mr. John Bull, of Chelsea, for redress against certain persons through whose mis conduct it was alleged his son, a boy about eight years of age, and another lad of about 15, were drowned in the Thames, near Bat tersea Bridge. He was then told that the Magistrates could not in terfere, and that be bad better wait until the bodies were found, and then produce whatever evidence he might be able to procure, before the Coroner's Inquisition. The body of Mr. Bull's son was found on Thursday morning last, about eleven •clock, floating near some barges, opposite to the Duke's Head, at Putney, and on the following day an Inquest was held before the Coroner for Surrey. Mr. Bull had been indefatigable in his endeavours to procure evi dence, conceiving that the conduct of those who caused the fatal catastrophe was highly culpable, and ought to. be made the subject of a criminal prosecution. He was in attendance with a host of witnesses, but the Coroner, after hearing the testimony of two only, refused to have any more called. A verdict of " Accidental Death" was returned by the Jury. Subsequently Mr. Bull sought the ad vice of Mr. Harmer, the Solicitor, and upon reference to an Act of Parliament of the 19th Geo. 11. which was passed for the pro- tection of the Public against the carelessness or other misconduct of watermen, a clause was found which enacts that no wherry shall carry, for freight or hire, on a Sunday, more than eight persons, and any waterman offending against this regulation shall forfeit, for the first offence, £fis, and for the second £lO, and be disfranchised from working on the River, and from all the privileges of the Wa termen's Company for twelve months ; " and (continues the sta tute) if in any such case onb or more passenger or passengers in the said wherry shall be drowned, then the waterman shall, upon being duly convicted, be deemed guilty of felony, and be transported as a felon." Upon this clause a warrant was applied for against Joseph Sharp, the waterman who plied the wherry in which the accident happened, and John Prest, a man who was assisting in rowing at the time, and they were yesterday brought before T. Hau.s, Esq. the sitting Magistrate. In the present case, it was proved in evidence that Sharpe had no fewer than fourteen passengers in his wherry at the time it was upset, and Mr. Harmer, who attended for the prosecution, pressed the Magistrate to commit for the felony. He assured his Worship, that though Mr. Bull had been deprived of a beloved child through the gross misconduct of the prisoner, he did not press for his coin- I mitment from any vindictive feeling, but merely from a sense of public duty, anti in the hope, that by making an example of him, he might preserve other parents from a similar calamity. Sharpe, in his defence, professed great sorrow for what had happened, but denied that the number of his passengers bad any thing to do with it. It was entirely caused, he said, by the unskil fulness of the people in the other boat ; and as to his boat being overloaded, that was no fault of his, for he did all he could to drive some of them out before he pushed off from the shore. The Magistrate, after some further discussion on the construc tion of the Statute, told the prisoner that his conduct, in the most lenient point of view, had been extremely reprehensible, and as the prosecutor insisted upon proceeding against him for the felony, he must take his trial for that offence; but in consideration of his large family, and his general good character, he would in the meantime admit hint to bail. He was then ordered to find bail fur his appearance at the next Surrey Sessions—himself in 801. and two sureties in 401. each ; and to give twenty-four hours' notice of such bail. MA R LBOROU G H-ST RE ET. Yesterday, Elisabeth Sharp, a young woman of very decent ap pearance, who has been some days In custody upon a charge of robbing her master, Mr. WiUis, the proprietor of the Thatched House Tavern, St. James'e-street, in whose service she had been about four months, as chambermaid, was brought up for final examination. It appeared by the evidence of Mr. Willis, that having missed a quantity of plate, silver spoons, forks, &c. he suspected the pri soner, and gave information to Clements, one of the officers of this establishment, and, on Clements questioning her, she confessed the fact, and gave hint np the duplicates of the property, which she bad pledged with Mr. ltochfort, a pawnbroker, in Brewer -street, Golden-square. Mr. Rochfort's shopman produced the plate,but he could not po sitively swear to the prisoner as the female who pawned it. Mr. Willis identified the plate as belonging to hint; indeed, for the most part, it was marked with bistutme. Mr. DVIER, the Magistrate, made some observations upon pawn brokers taking in plate so marked, without making inquiry. Mr. Rochfort's shopman said, that he did question the girl who pledged the plate, and sbe said that she was sent by her mistress, a Lady named WilUs, to pawn it. The prisoner, who while at the bar was scarcely able to support herself, so deeply was she affected, almost to convulsions, sobbing and moaning in a most piteous manner, having nothing to say in her defence, was fully committed for trial, and the parties bound over to prosecute. UN [ON-HALL. Yesterday morning, Sir John Farnahy and Mr. Goodhart, of Beckenham, came to the office, and informed Mr. Att.'s:4, the Ma•' gistrate, that since the last examination of Thomas Coombs (now In custody), the body of James Morgan, the unf , irtunate man whs bad been shot, was disinterred, and the worth& of Nvldch" he disci opened by a surgeon, who extracted five slugs, some shot, and three pebble stones from the orifice. It will be recollected that when Coombs was apprehended, the loaded pistol found in the privy, into which be had thrown it, was ex:unified, end found to contaii, a heavy charge of powder, shot, slugs, and ?Able stones. There Iv. also found on his person u bright steel chatter, half filled , withss i s; and slugs. The whole of the.abovementioned charges were (chi. bited to Sir John and Mr. Goodhart, both of whom, after a ctm e inspection, pronounced that they exactly resembled the Shot, slugs, and pebble stones extracted from the body of Morgan. __ ~~ C.Arl'4 TIARY-LA-BONNE. Yesterday, Mr. Sanson, the banker, gave Mr. GRIFFITH. following information of a very groll4 imposition, which is c 0,,,• monly practised on the lovers of smuggled articles: That morning, a Frenchman came to his house in Ilarlev-strc—, Cavendish-square, and by his particular request, was shown the presence of Mrs. Sanson, In whom, he said, he had a :macular recommendation. He displayed a bundle of shawls, of whici he declared to be of French manufacture. The patters were ee:• tainly very handsome ; and Mrs. Sanson was prevailot opau, b. the tricky swindler, to give £4 for a shawl. As he retire.!, h e a number of visiting cards of distinguished persons. 'fl,,„ ; ,. ctinv stance he turned to a very profitable account, as he had tall t d at each address, and stating himself to be recommended by M r ' Sanson, be sold shawls at sixteen and twenty guineas each, which proved not to be worth one tenth that sum. • The Information was registered in the books, and Mr. Gairretils hoped, that through the medium of the Press, the shameful impo sition would obtain such publicity as to prevent further rczuery. A respectably dressed woman applied to the Magistrate for ad vice. She stated that her husband, %V. Densham, had for m a . ly years been Head liutler to the Right Hon. Mr. Peel, at his seat in Staffordshire, which service he quitted last April, and came to London, to procure a situation, A few days subsequent he wro:c to her, stating, that he was In expectation of an engagement, since which she bad beard nothing of him. She had wrote to Mrs. on the subject, who kindly and promptly answered her; that Mr. Peel had given him a character to a Noblem in in Glou cester-place, but whose title neither of them could re c•dlect, and referring her to Mr. Peel's butler in town, who probably might afford her some information. This person informed her, he hat repeatedly seen her husband, who is in a situation ; but where, or with whom, he could not tell. She bad inquired it elver/ bowie in Gloucester.place, but without success.—The Magistrate expressed his regret that he could afford her no assi‘tance. ' At the Kent CI icket Club it was proposed to play a match on the Goodwin Sands this month. It is exactly 22 years since a celebrated match was played there; and at one of the days of meeting, the late Duchess of DE• VONSIII RE and a host of female fashionables were present. MA ROATE, SEPT. 6. A melancholy accident occur: ed here this morning : a Gentleman who had engaged a small boat to go out for the purpose of fishing, v.as doomed never to return alive, the boat upset within a short distance of the Pier. The visitant is at present unknown; but the unfortunate fisherman, it is under stood, has left a wife just recovering from her accouclic merit of her second child. Thursday last, the 2d instant, at Haworth, five miles south of Keighley, in the West Riding of the county of York, and on the borders of Lancashire, about six o'clock in the evening, a part •,f the high lards on the Stanbury• moor opened into a chasm, and sunk to the Depth of six yards, in some places exhibiting a ragged appearance, and forming two principal cavities—the one was about two hundred yards, and the other m t less than six hundred yards in circumference. From these hollows issued two immense volumes of muddy water, and uniting at a distance of upwards of 100 yards from their sources, constituted, for about two hours, an over whelming flood from 4.0 to 50 (sometimes 70) yards in width, and seldom less than four yards in depth. This dark slimy mixture of mod and water followed the course of a rivulet, overflowing its banks for 20 or 30 yards on each side, and to the distance of seven or eight miles from the immediate irruption ; all this way there is deposited a black moorish substance, varying from eight to 86 inches in depth, and mixed occasionally with sand and rocky fragments, pieces of timber, and uprooted trees which had been borne along by the im petuous torrent. This heavy and powerlul stream broke Idown one solid stone bridge, made breaches in two others, clogged tip and stopped several mills, laid flat and destroyed several whole fields of corn, and over threw to the foundation several hedges and walls. In its course it entered the houses, floating the furniture about, to the astonishment and terror of the inhabitants. At the time of the irruption, the clouds were copper coloured, and lowering ; the atmosphere was strongly electric, and unusually close and sultry. There was at the same time loud and freque.lt thunder, with much zigzag lightning, peculiarly flaring and vivid. An hour before thete was scarcely a breath of air stirring, but the wind quickly rose to a hurricane, and after blowing hard from six to eight o'clock, sunk again into a profound calm, at which time the heavy rain, which had continued all the while, ceased, and, with the ex ception of a few floating clouds, the sky was very serene. The whole is conjectured by the neighbours to be caused by some subterraneous commotion, the most consider able as to its resulti that has taken place in this king dom for many generations. The river Aire, at Leeds, presented the effects of this phenomenon last Friday afternoon; the water that came down the river was in such a polluted state, as to have poisoned great quan tities of fish ; and the water continuing in much the came turbid state, has become entirely useless for culi nary purposes, as well as for dyers, &c. The Commis sioners of the Water-works have given public notice to the inhabitants of Leeds, that they will at present sus pend the supply of water, so totally useless to them, until the stream subsides into a proper state. The following is a literal copy of the inscription rn a sign-board hanging in front of a cellar in the Old Town of Limerick : " Lodgings and kettles boiled at all seasonable hours. ,tack 3fre lum gives notice to the public that he will supply a hundred s.dsF, to drink tea, at all hours in the day ; you will be attended 11.ce and clean, in the cellar at the end of the lane, without delay.
