A Dictionary Of theoWlie.l.at4uaie has long been a desi deratum in Celtic Ititeratuty ; the only work published under that name having; in reality, pretensions to no higher title than that of a Vocabulary. The opportunities and pursuits of the Author of the present Work, Who is a native of the Highlands, have enabled him to Obtain an intimate acquaintance not only with the works of the ancient Gaelic Poets, but also with those of the more recent Caledonian authors whith have obtained public esteem. To render any language more easy of attainment, is confes. sedly &Sir:dile. The Gaelic is a language peculiarly interest ing; not only on account of its high antiquity, but as it con. tains writings which, even through the medium of defective translations, have been extolled by every unbiassed critic, and by every judge of sublime composition. It was the conviction that the want of a Dictionary operated powerfully against the attainment of the Gaelic tongue, which induced the Compiler, though alone and unassisted to undertake this Work. It has cost him much labour and research; but he will feel himself amply repaid,should his hopes be realized that he has rendered an acceptable service to the literature colitis country. The Compiler, in order to exhibit the clearest testimonies to the antiquity of the Celtic, has gone largely into etymology; he has traced affinities in almost every language in Europe, as well as in many ancient and modern languages of Asia anti Africa ;_but, in all this laborious and ramified research, he has admitted no instance of affinity to a foreign tongue, excepting where It appeared obvious and indisputable. It is presumed that this Dictionary will form a very useful appendage to every library, as recording a branch of an origi. nal language, altogether unequalled in describing Natures whether in her fairest forms, or her most stupendous operations; and in giving utterance, with effect, to the strongest or to the softest passions of the human mind. This Work will be use ful, it is hoped, to all who have a taste for philological learning. Biit the, Highlander will more especially prize it, as furnislung hini With an easy guide to correct orthography, and as adducing authorities from the ancient and modern dukes of his country. It must be very valuable to those also who may wish to acquire the Gaelic as it is now spoken, or( with but little aid from a teacher) to peruse the far-famed Ossian in thelanguage in which he sang. The Author now most res tfully solicits the patronage of a liberal public, especially ose Noblemen and Gentlemen who are more immediately connected with Scotland. He buzz tures to address himself to every patron of literature, and every admirer of the ancient poetical relics of Britain, to support an undertaking which he hopes will be universally allowed to be deserving of encouragement. _ SUMRI BEMS.

SIR-I am very reluctant to trespass on your columus s or intrude myself upon the public; but from the kindness I have already experienebd, I persuade myself you will not deny me the op portunity of refuting the assertions, or rather the insinuations, of Mr. Robertson; contained in his letter to you of the 23d inst.; for, upon this will depend whether or not I am to con roue in the enjoyment of the good opinion of my friends. As the whole proceeding will of necessity hereafter come before the public, I shall, for the present, confine myself to correct the mis-statement of Mr. Robertson : first, he states that he is " di rected by the managers" to publish the letter to which I allude. Now it so happens, that Mr. Kemble is at Birmingham, and Mr. Willett and Captain Forbes are both out of town. So much for his venturing to assert that he has their au thority. If, bowever j any thing else were want- ing to convince me he has acted upon his own counsel, it is the manner iu which he has introduced the name of Mr. Robins, as con. tected with Drury-Lane. he Covent-Gar den Management, in their capacity of Gen tlemee, could not have lent their sanction to any thing so little minded, as to suppose Mr. Robins's kind interference to obtain a knowledge of the nature of the charge which might be urged against me, could by possibility have any con nection with his situation as a• Member of the Sub-Committee of Drury-Lane. I therefore treat the whole as originating in this Gentleman, who, it is now currently reported, has purchased my situation of the new Board of Management. But to the point : he has the temerity to assert, that " my misconduct rendered it quite im perative with regard ,to the security of their property, and the accommodation of the public, that I should be removed from my situation." It is easy to make assertions ; but the public will, however, do me the jus tice to suspend their opinion until they have something more solid than Mr. Robertson's bare assertions. When it was hinted to Mr. Kemble, some three weeks since, by Mr. Robins, that he had heard reports injurious to my character, and Upon which (without giving me the opportunity of defending Myself) they bad thought it right to me, Mr. Robins did, after much importu nity, prevail on Mr. Kemble to allow me the op portunity of facing my accusers. I went to the committee with Mr. Robins, and the first salute I received was a request that! would leave the room, as they preferred communicating alone, with Mr. Robins. The result I learnt through the latter, viz. that though they - bad several things to complain of ; they did hot choose to explain the nature or extent of themi unless a public appeal became R necessary. Upon which Mr. obins.said, if they could prefer a charge of dishonesty or miscon duct, and substantiate it, that he would no longer lend me the advantage of his friendly as sistance, and thereupon he challenged theta to the proof : that was again declined, 'and the meeting broke tip. 1 now call upon those Gen tlemen forthwith to make the public acquainted with the nature of their complaint; and I only entreat of them, out of kindness to a very old servant, not to form their opinion upon it, until I make my reply. The next and only point in Mr. Robertson's letter, is his declaration that "' Mr. Const i upon hearing the grounds on qthich I was dismissed, refused to • bear any part of the expence, considering I was not en titled to any allowance whatever." report of this nature reached me some three weeks since, 'and I immediately went to Mr. Const. I stated the injury I must sustain if he had been induced to join in the oppressive act of the new manage ment, and required of him to sanction or disavow it. I will give yoti the very words of Mr. Coast's reply :--- 4 "T hese men" (meaning Mr. Kemble, Captain Forbes, and Mr. Willett) " will do or say any thing to answer their purpose"— " Have they net sworn in, their affidavit, in an swer to my application to the Court of Chancery, that I recommended the dismissal of your brother, and - the appointment of Mr. Dunn in his pla c e ? Which is as great a falSehood as ever was utter ed."vzet prosecu tion." After this, l Mr.Const added, "that if I had been guilty of the charge made against me, instead of an an nuity they ought to hate n c o o t ni t i o n o el much e tch e i da t o expect the public will at least do me the justice t o re ceive with caution any report unfavourabl e to my self, and originating from such a quarter. lii conclusion, I have much pleasure in stating that Mr. 'Harris, who has for the last 13 years presided over the management, will give the strongest testimonials in my favour, if any mis statement of the present committee should render this appeal necessary. Entreating your pardon for intruding so much on your time and patience, I am your's and the public's most obliged and devoted servant, T. W. BRANDON. Box-offiee, Hart-street, Coient-garden. Aug. 26. ST. IGNATIL, , .--A devout lady offered a pray er to St. Ignatius, for the conversion of her husband a few days after the man died ; "'What a go od saint is our Ignatius!" exclaimed the cnnsolate widow ; "he bestows on us more' benefits than we ask for!" We met within half a mile of her father's house, by the side of an ancient wood, and a running stream, which had a pleasing effect, as it happened to be a bright moon-shine. 'With her foot in my hand, I lifted her into her saddle, and as our horses were excellent, we rid many miles in a few hours. By eight in the morning we were out of the reach of Old and at the sign of the Pilgrim, a lone house in Esur-vale, we breakfasted very joyfully. The charming Agnes seemed well pleased with the expedition, and said a thousand things that rendered the journey delightful. Twelve days we travelled in a fdlness of delights happfbeyond description, and the thirteenth arrived at a village not far froth my. little habitation. Here we designed to be married in two day;, when we had rested ; as there was a Church and a Person in, the town, and then ride on to Foley Forth, as my small spot was called, - and there sit down in peace and happiness. But the second day, instead of rising to the nuptial ceremony, to crown my life with unutterable bliss, and make me beyond all man- kind happy, the lovely Agnes fell ill of a fever. A sense of weight 'and oppression discovered the inflammation within, and was attended with sharp and pungent pains. In a word, she died in a few days, and she had requested, if it came to that, I laid her out and put her into the coffin myself ; I kept her seven days, according to the custom of the old Romans, and then, in the dress of sorrow, followed her to the grave. What to do next I could not tell. Shall I stay at Foley Farm and turn hermit ? No; _ I had no inclination to become a father of the desetts. Shall I return to London, and then see if fdrtune has any thing more in reserve for me ? This I liked best, and after six months' deliberation on the thing, I left my farm in the care of an old woman, and set out in the beginning of January. It was as fine a winter's morning as I had seen, which encou raged me to venture among the Fells of West. mordant' ; but at noon the weather changed, and an evening very terrible came on. A ,little after three it began - to bloW4 rain, and snow very fast; and it was not long before it was very dark. We lost the way quite 3 and for three hours wandered about in as dismal a night as ever poor travellers had. The storm rattled, the tempest howled; we could n6t see the horses' heads, and were al most dead with cold. We had nothing toexpect hut death, as we knew not which way to turn to any house, and it was impossible to remain alive till the day appeared. It was a dismal scene ; but thy time was not yet come. And when we had no ground to expect deliverance, the beasts suds denly stopr, and Solo found we were at the gate of a walled yard, There he immediately made all the noise he could, and it was not long before a servant with a lantern came. He related our case within, and had orders to admit us. Ho brought me into a common parlour, where there was a good fire, and 1 got dry things. The man brought me half a pint of hot Alicant, and in about half an hour I was alive, and well again. On inquiring where I was, the footman told me it was Dr. Stan vil's house, that his master and lady were above in the drawing-rooM with some company, and be had directions to light me up, whet: I bad changed my clothes and was re covered. Upon this I told him I Was ready, and fdlowed hini. On the servant's opening the door, I entered a handsoMe apartment well light ed with wax, and which had a glorious fire blaz ing in it. The Doctor received me with great po liteness, and said many civil things upon Fortune's conducting me to his house. The conversation naturally fell upon the horrors of the night, as it still continued to rain, hail, and blow beyond what any of the company had ever heard ; amid one of the ladies said 4 she believed the winter was always more boisterous and cold among the Fells of Westmorland than in any other part of England, for which She gave several good reasons : the solemn mountains, the beauti ful vallies, the falling streams 4 form otte of the most charming countries in the world in summer time, hut in the winter it is the most dreadful spot on earth. The voice of the Lady who talked in this manner I thought I was well acquainted with, but by the position'of the candles and the angle of a screen le which she sate I could not very well see her face. Amazement, however, begun to seize me, and as an elegant supper was soongler brodght in, I had an opportunity of seeinethat Miss ---, whom I bud buried, was now before my eyes in the character of the Doc. tor's wife ; or at least it was one so like her, it was not possible for me to distinguish the figures : there were the same bright victorious eyes, trod chesnut hair'; the coMplexion like a blush, and a mouth where all the little loves for ever dwelt ; there was the fugitiVe dimple, the enchanting laugh, the rosy fingers, the fine height, and the mien more striking than Calypso's. 0, Heavens! I said to myself, what is this I see! But as she did not seem to be at all affected, or shewed the least sign of her having ever seen me before that time, I remained silent, and only continued to look with admiration at her, undmindful of the many excellent things before me. In a minute or two, however, I recovered myself : I ate my sup per and joined in the festivity of the night. We had music and several songs. We were easy, free, and happy as well bred people could be. At midnight we parted, and finding an easy chair by the side of my bed, I thew myself into it; and began to reflect on what I bad seen, Thu, standing before me with his arms folded, and looking veay seriously at me; this lasted quarter of an hour, when the honest fellow be- ' gan thus : I beg leave, Sir, to imagine you are perplexing yotirself about the lady of this louse whom suppose you take. for Miss .w e brought from the other side of England half a year ago; and buried in the neit church-yard. to Blenkern. This likewise, if I may be so free, my opinion ; I would take my oath of it iy Court of Justice, if there teas Occasion fat; that. Howe ver , s he go t ou t o f h er g rave , an d by whatever casualty she came to be Mrs. StatiTili yet I could swear to her being the lady who travelled with us from the West to Cumberland: But to-mOrrow - I'll make inquiry among the ser.i vents at to the time and manner of her coming here, and then let you know. He then drew. Next morning Finn gay* me the follow ing relation : that Dr. S. had a small lodge within. three miles of the house we were itt, and retired there sometimes to be more alone than he Could be here; that his lodge Sias a. mere repository of curiosities, in the middle of a garden full of all the herbs and plants that grew in every country df the world, and in one chamber of this house was a great number of skeletons which the Doctor had made himself ; for it was his wont to procure bodies from the surrounding churett-yarth, by men he kept in pay for that purpose, and cut them up himself at his lodge ; that some of these : dead wete brought to him in 'tamp.: ers, and some in their coffins, on light railed. cars, as the case required ; that near shtmonthd ago, the last time the Doctor was at this lodge, there was brought to hint by his men the body of a young *entail in her coffin, in order to a dis section as usual, and the bones being wired ; but; as it lay on the back, on the gteat table he cots" up on, and the point of the knife was ready to enter towards the breast, he perceived a kind of motion in the subject, heard a sigh soon after, and, looking up to the head, saw the eyes shut and Open again; that upon this he laid down his knife, which had but just scratched the body, and helped himself to put it to bed ; that he took all possible. pains; by administering every thing he could think thetuil td resto re life, end was so fortunate as to set one of the tineat women in the world on her feet again. As she had no raiment but the shroud which had been on her in the coffin, he got every thing belonging to dress that a woman of distinction could have occasion for, and'iti a few days time she sparkled in the brightness of a Eastern Princess. He was quite charmed with the beauties of her person, abet , could not enough admire her understanding ; he offered to marry her, settle largely on her, and as she was a single woman, in gratitude she could not refuse the request of so generous a henefaetta! [To be concluded.] HERALDS' COLLEGE: The' Royal Commission appointed to examin e into the state of the public: records of the kingdom, has pointed, out the insecure conditiOn of the Heralds' Office or College of Arms. His Majesty's Commissioners, in their report of 1819; declared that the office required to be removed speedily intti some public building, or that the present one should be render. ell more secure front fire. Various proceedings have taken place hi correspondence, memorials, &c., between the officers Of the Heralds' College, Government, &c., but nothing was decided upon. According to dcicuments now published baf authority of Parliament, it appears that the Kings, Heralds; and Pursuivante, of the College of Arms (by their memo rial in chapter 'agreed to), represented that the building in Which their records are preserved was not only falling fait to decak, but iii constant and irittnincht danger from fi re , inasmuch as a sugar:house, the timbers of which are actually inserted in the walla of the College, immediately adjoins the library, and there Is no party-wall between the buildings. —Though the Royal Commissioners, by persOnal inspection, ascertained that it was "necessary to remove the College into some public building, or to secure it against the extreme peril of fire to which it was eXposed, nothing could be done. The Chapter again mennirialized the Govertanent, representing that the decay of the Minding had increased so rapidly us to render it even an unsafe residence to those officers who inhabit certain parts of ; and, in paitieular„ they had observed, that some of the library presses had sunk considerably, and that the books contained in them were snaring from damp. They searched for the cause, anti they discovered that the north wall had be- L . come so ruinous as to render it necessary to lay a great part of it bare, by taking down three of the said presses, and they were in consequence obliged to remove some hundred volumes of manuscripts, which were contained in them, into die hull, which is the public postage to the office. Thy also forwarded memorials, with like representations, to the 'hike of Norfolk, as Earl Marshal of England. Tie building remaining still the same, the memorialists again directed atteution to this' subject. They said, they hoped they had by their silence' under inch severe pressure, sliewn the desire patiently to atvait such measures as the Earl Marshal of England, or the Government, might recoinmend ; but they add, that cir cumstance ha d occurred Which eompelled them to implore at tention to the dreadful consequence to which the public treasure of Records, of which they had the custody, were continually ex posed by the erection and use of steam-engine, of considerable force in the said sugar-house. ~Their anxiety and terror had been aggravated by thecontemplation of that awful and instan. uncoils calamity which occurred in Goodman's-tield, by which at least twelve persons lost their lives in the application of such an apparatus to purposes precisely 'similar in a sugar-house.— The Secretary of State for the home Department hereupon had the condition of the College of Arms investigated by the Sur.' veyor of the Pheenix Fire-office. He reports that the apart inents in which are deposited the records abut upon the sugar refinery of Alderman Smith, which is also an ancient building, &c. ; and that if the depot of records in question is con shifted an object of national importance, the present building by no means possesses the security requisite for such puues. Lord Sidmouth, previously to his quitting office, directed the case to be considered by the Lords of the Treasury, and the case is now under special consideration. The difficulty has been to select a good situation for the site of abaildieg for the Heralds' College; and it is in discussion between the Treasury and the ienntitv e king's Mews i n f u n e r Desuchparatuatt e, slits in a line with, and to accord with, . the great improvemen s allotti n:wPbuilditig in Cockspur-street, &c.
