- giVTION AL . litGISTER-. i lost her rank, and . character among natiolui, and sunk for ever. !' .. .. Jerusalem, which the Divinity illumed with the splendour of his presence, and the wisdom of his laws—to which Prophets were, in king: succession, sent, in brder to instrttcti correct, and improve : Jeru salem, whose ceremoniar,inoral, and judicial institu tions, were of Divine uppintment, and far extended her fame—the city, which was. distinguished by Divine interposition; and which, at once to eternise her glory and disgrace, was to give birth and death to the Saviour of mankind :—did imperial Salem, thus distinguished, exhibit a conduct corresponding to such distinction ? No !—Her stream of guilt rolled broad and deep. Hypocrisy, under the sanc tion of religious forms, stalked abroad. In an ad herence to superstitious rites and legendary tales, genuine religion was at first obscured, and, at last, superseded. Bigotry, ignorance, and guilt, fre quented those altars, where pure incense had been formerly offered ; and, to fill, up the measure of her enormities, this impious nation crucified our Saviour !—and thus transmitted to future ages a last ing monument of human ingratitude, cruelty, and crime. Dire was the guilt, and dreadful was the punishment. Proud Salem was besieged, and her sparkling towers levelled with the ground. Her numerous inhabitants died of famine or the sword ; and the remnant that escaped perambulated like vagabonds the face of the earth : and, agreeably to the prophecy which denounced their fate, continue, wherever they go, a distinct and separate race, in capable, from the peculiarities of their institutions, of coalescing with the States they visit, in order to mark and perpetuate the singularity of their crimes. Let not, then, proud and opulent kingdoms for get, that among the nations an Almighty Governor ruleth, , who does, in the armies of Heaven , and among the inhabitants of the earth, what seemeth Lest to his divine wisdom and pleasure. These reiterated and dread demonstrations of the Divine vengeance should afford every nation an awful lesson, of the obligation - it; Under to prac- . •• - • prac tise justice; to cultivate •MerCy, and on acts of pure 4 1 1 vi • worship, to revere its Goa. , ~ • ilvor To' 450 COI t • ; 11 15107: An American PaperAtgo, " 1,037 persons are employed in the 'Mttinfaptitre of women's _ shoes in the town of laynri, 3- Slistkantieits. pro duce annually 987,000 shoes, the materiali of which cost about 500,000 dollars, and when. manufac tured are worth about 800,000 dollars, giving 300,000 as the reward of the labour.

Mr. Keogh's party ne indefatigable in their ex ertions to counteract the tendency of Major Bryan'S resolution, which had been- unanimously carried at the • late .Aggregate Meeting. This day the Ro man Catholic inhabitants, of .the parish of St. cholas Without, were - summoned, through r i te in fluence of Mr. Keogh .to meet at Francis-street Chapel, and it transpired, in the course of the day,. ' that the design of assembling the parishioners was, to prevail on. them to agree to certain resolutions expressive of the precipitancy of addressing the Prince Regent to remove the Duke of Richmond and his Secretary from the Irish Government. The Gentlemen of the opposite party took the alarm, and attended with such considerable nume rical strength as induced, the friends of Mr. Keogh to p - ropose an adjournment until the fdllowing day. The proposal was agreed to. It is intended to call parochial meetings in till Oft parishes of Dublin, and when the Catholics shall have expressed in de tail their dissent from the precipitate resolution of Major Bryan, to call Another aggregate meeting for the purpose of resol - Viiig, that an Address to the Prince Regent to remove the Duke of Richmond or Mr. Pole would be inexpedient. The following are at the head of the Deputation appointed to present the Catholic Address to the Prince Regent : Earls Shrewsbury, Fingal, and Kennare ; Viscounts Cor manstown, Netterville, and Soiithwell . l Ler.is Trim blebtown and Fretich • Sirs Thonsas Esmond, Edward •Bellew, Hugh O'Reilly, Thomasßurke, and Francis Gould, Baronets ; Major- General O'Farrell, Colonel Burke, &c. A number of non-commissioned Officers of good character, belonging to regiments in Portugal, who have distinguished themselves in that country and Spain, have been appointed to commissions in the Portuguese service. The Committee of Lords to whom it has been referred to consider in what w,ly the business of the Court of Chancery may be expedited sat on Tuesday last. We understand they are unani mously of opinion, that the Loan CHANCELLOR should tontinue_to be the Speaker of the • House of Lords ; as it is of the last importance that Appeals from the Courts below should be laid before the • highest authority in the law. : It is not in this way, therefore, that the LORD CHANCELLOR can be as sisted—but, it is said, the . idea alluded to some time ago, is entertained favourably, namely, that he should-have the aid of two Masters of the Rolls - . 7 --one of -whom would have the title of Vice-Chan; cellor, with higher functions than the other, who • would still have- the name of Master of the -Rolls but, between them, the LORD CHANCELLOR would be eased of a ccmsiderable+art of his most fatiguing duty. By a late . decision, of' the bard of Taxes (by which the shopkeepers in Stickton have been bene. fited), a shop window, or front, a glazed door in the centre (the whole being in one frame) and the posts, or partitions between the .doer sod the side windows not being of .the breadth of, twelve: , inches, is' to be considered chargable 4:4%4 bi g y . • . at : .
