ETON, WEDNESDAY AFTERNooN.—Yesterday his Majesty again quitted his chamber, and dined below stairs; consequently it may be safely presumed that his health, if not materially improved, is at least no worse than it was on the preceding day, and much better than it has been latterly. His Majesty re mained at table from seven o'clock until nine, when he retired in what is generally understood by the term " good spirits ;" and to-day the reports of his health are still favourable. When I say his Majesty quitted his chamber, you are not to suppose that he walked out of it and de scended to the dining-room without assistance; for unfortunately the fact is not so. His Majesty, for some time past, has been carried to and from his chamber to the dining-room in a chair ; and, if fall ing away in person is a bad symptom, I am sorry to add that his Majesty's recent indisposition has re duced his personal appearance very much indeed. In my note of yesterday, written in great haste, I was incorrect as to dates; it was on 'Monday and Tuesday that his Majesty rode out, and his relapse took place on Wednesday.

His MAJESTY had a party to dinner yester day evening at the Royal Lodge in Windsor park. The KIND being free from the gout in his hand, has signed, within the last few days, a number of official papers and documents which were waiting his signature. - - The young Queen of PORTUGAL, attended by the Marquis de BARBACENA and Lord CLINTON, went, with her suite, in two of the King's carriages, to St. Paul's Cathedral, where her MAJESTY was received by the Pre bends in waiting, and some of the city officers, who con ducted the QUEEN over this magnificent edifice. On leaving the Cathedral, the QUEEN and her suite proceeded to Leicester-square, and viewed Mr. Buaroan's Panoramas of Genoa and Rio Janeiro. In the afternoon the follow ing were presented to her MAJESTY by the Marquis de BARBACENA—the Princess de POLIGNAC (the lady of the French Ambassador), Lady A. HAMILTON, Mr. and Mrs. ROTHSCHILD and their son and daughter. The Portuguese Minister presented a number of Portuguese Gentlemen, and the Brazilian Minister several Gentlemen from the Brazils.

Accordingly his Lordship, accom panied by the Sheriffs, Messrs. BOOTH and WILDE, and a number of the Aldermen, were in attendance to receive her at the appointed time. She arrived with her suite in two of the Royal carriages, and was received by the Loan MArOli and Sheriffs ;. and, having been conducted over the different parts of this Spacious cathedral, she retired, the Loan 314y0R, Sheriffs, &c. conducting them to the Royal carriages; and the I .ortnAlAToa departed for Guild. hall, to swear in the new Sheriff. LIES OF THE DAY.—W e have reason to believe that his Grace the Duke of WELLINGTON has in timated to the Marquis BARBACENA the disinclinati on of his MAJESTY to receive the young Princess of A r. in her royal capacity. The illustrious guardi ans o f t h e qu it e a st o u n d e d by this intimation ; ar,d }it: theyu n g have Princess resolves cesse ar that she shall not be rec e iv e d i n any other capacity—consequently she will not visit Windsor at all. —Morning Journal.

KILKENNY PROVINCIAL MEETING. (From the Second Edition of the Freeman's Journal of Tuesday.) KILKKNNNY, MONDAY, OCT. 20, SIX O ' CLOCK, P.M. The Provincial Meeting took place this day in the Catholic Cathedral. It was most numerously at tended. All the rank, property, talent, and patriotism, especially of the southern quarter of Oils province, were assembled on the occasion. Lord Viscount Dun cannon, the noble and independent Member for Kil kenny,presided. The platform was heavily laden with orators, and the galleries glistened with the most fas ciaating beauties gathered in thick array, and throwing a charm with their smiles on the sacred work of na tional redemption. Among the distinguished persons present were, the Most Noble the Marquis of West meath; Viscounts Duncannon, M.P., and Killeen; the Hon. Colonels Pierce Butler and E. Preston, Sirs Thomas Esmonde, Bart. and Richard Nagle, Bart., Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P., Hugh Morgan Tuite, Esq., M.P., - Creevy, Esq., M.P., Thos. Wyse, Esq., Richard Montesquieu Bellew, Esq., Captain Bryan, of Jenkinstown ; Major Keatinge, C. 8., Richard Boyce, Esq., Thomas Boyce, Esq. (both Protestants) ; Cadwallader • Waddy, Esq., N. P. O'Gorman,Esq. Secretary to the Catholics of Ireland ; Richard Osborne, Esq., Thomas Green, Esq., Wm. F. Fynn, Esq., P. M. Murphy, Esq., Christopher Fitzsimon, of Ballinamore House, Esq., &c. &c. &c. Apologies for unavoidable absence were read from the Earl of Bective and Lord Gormanston. The Chair was taken at one o'clock. Jr..D Costelloe acted as Secretary. The Meeting was ad dressed by Lord Killeen, Mr. Boyce, the Hon. Col. Butler, the Hon. Mr. Preston, Sir Thos. Esmonde, Mr. Waddy, Mr. O'Connell, Mr. Murphy, and Mr. Tuite. The speeches were admirable, and were re ceived with enthusiastic applause. At five o'clock the Meeting adjourned, when thanks were returned to Lord Duncannon, who returned thanks in a very neat and manly speech. The vast crowd then sepa rated in the most orderly manner, although our most valiant heroes of the 7th Hussars, whose prowess against the French Cuirassiers is so cele brated, are patrolling, or rather dashing, with drawn swords, through these peaceable streets. I can assure you, that with the exception of some flagrant scenes of disorder, acted by drunken Officers, the Police have had no tumults to suppress. However, more of this anon. The Chair will be again taken by the Hon. Colonel Butler, at twelve o'clock to morrow (Tuesday). Lord Killeen is to preside at the dinner. KENT MEETING. ROCHESTER, OCT. 22. Last night a numerous and respectable meeting of the liberal party of this neighbourhood took place at the Bull Inn, for the purpose of concerting measures for defeating the intentions of the " Intolerant Bigots," who had convened the meeting on Penen den Heath. Mr. LARKIN took the chair, and briefly stated the object of the meeting to be the securing to the friends of toleration every facility of conveyance on Friday next. To effect this a subscription was ne cessary, in which he trusted many then present would join. At the same time he wished it to be understood, that the conveyances would be open to all friends of toleration, whether they subscribed or not. They would not be thought the less friendly to the cause for not subscribing, provided they gave their attendance on the day of meeting. They had already engaged four stage-coaches, and other con veyances would also be secured, and to prevent mis takes public notice would be given by placards of the times and places whence they would start. Of the stage-coaches he might observe they were the most eligible conveyances that could be secured, for they might be driven on to the Heath, where their roofs would afford most favourable situations for both hearing and seeing what was going forward. This speech had the desired effect, most of the persons present subscribed, and the meeting broke up. ISIAIDSTONE, OCT. 22. The " Intolerants" in this place have decidedly the majority, and may be expected to muster very strong. At present all is quiet, nor are there so many squibs in circulation here as either at Canter bury or Rochester. The authorities, however, have not been remiss in providing against possible con tingencies on the day of meeting : there are 170 foot and 40 cavalry soldiers here, all of whom have orders to hold themselves in readiness to act if called upon. Similar instructions have been conveyed to the Commanding Officer at Chatham. These pre cautions are prudent, but it is not likely the soldiers will be called on to act; for although the meeting may be expected to be a noisy one, there is no rea son to apprehend personal violence; and the Magi strates of this county, after the memorable example at Manchester, would be in no unnecessary hurry to call in the military. Cobbett was down here last week, and dined with the farmers at the Mitre, when he avowed his intention of being present, and opposing both parties. He described them. both as factions, careless of the interests of the people, and having their own objects in view, and said he.should come prepared with resolutions in opposition to both of. them ; that be considered the parsons to be the great enemies of the people, and that he should propose the alienation of part of the Church property, arid the reduction •of the tithes. He is to dine with them again to morrow (Thursday.) The requisitionists are exerting themselves to the utmost among their tenants and neighbours. Sir Chomley Dering will be accompanied by 60 tenants and workmen. He says every Protestant ought to appear and hold up his hand against further concessions, and for the purpose of encouraging them in so doing, an ox has been slaughtered and sent on to Binsted, which is distant from Maidstone about two and a half miles, where it is to be cooked, and where his party are to stop and breakfast on their way to the meeting. One of the liberal placards contains the following pertinent appeal to the historical recollections of " The Men of Kent" : " The Protestant Bishops were deprived of their seats in the House of Lords in the reign of Charles the First ; they were restored in the reign of Charles the Second, for which restoration 26 Catholic Peers voted. But mark the contrast :---At this time about half a dozen Catholic Peers petition to be restored to their hereditary seats, and but one or two Pro testant Bishops possess justice or gratitude enough to advocate their cause:" The following Song has just issued from the pre4s " THE MAN OF KENT." When Harold was invaded, And falling lost his crown, And Norman William waded Through gere to pull him down, The Counties round, with fear profound, To mend their sad condition, Their lands to save, they homage gave, But Kent made no submission. Then sing in praise of men of Kent, All loyal, brave, and free, Of Britain's race, if one surpass, A man of Kent is he. And now when Popish faction Uplifts its impious head, • And rebels into action O'Connell dares to lead ; Bold Kent began and formed the van, In Brunswick's name invited, And Counties round, with echoing sound, Their general efforts plighted. Then sing in praise, &c, Then fill a glass o'erflowing, The Brunswick Club the toast, With Patriot ardour glowing, We'll meet the treacherous host ; Throughout the land may heart and hand Assert with resolution, The Church and King, and let us sing Kent and the Constitution. Then sing, &c. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. FXTRACT OF A LETTER. FROM' THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE, DATED JULY 22. " We have nothing but preparations for war, and marching of troops. The day Major Dun das was out of office (the Ist inst.), he set off with about 30 armed burghers to have a confe rence with Chaka, by desire of the Lieutenant- Governor ; indeed he volunteered to do so.— By the last accounts he had got to Hinza's Kraal, and was recruiting his horses before pro ceeding. Chaka himself was on the Ensemfoo boo river ; but a detachment of his troops, who are coming on in eight divisions, of from 3,000 to 4,000 each, had crossed the Omptada river, and had entirely routed the Chief, who, as I before mentioned, is descended from the white woman, taking ail his cattle. Their mode of fighting is novel, being by close action, and generally by attacking at night, firing the houses, and murdering all as they attempt to escape. In this battle Chaka's people pretended to fly, and by this means drew their oppo nents into an ambush, and killed them all, and then returned to secure their booty. Mr. Shaw, thQ missionary, who was travelling with a party, visited the field of battle two days after it, and gave a horrid account of the killed. Major Dundas is to go to Chaka in order to ascertain his real intentions towards us. There is some apprehension that he and his party may be taken and kept prisoners until Chaka's ambassadors return ; they are still at Uttenhage. Major Cloote has been sent up to confer with them ; he advises, I am told, conciliatory measures ; others again recommend those of intimidation. Time ambassadors are complaining of delay, and they have attempted to steal off: Our little army had been collected at Fort Beaufort, not much ex ceeding 600 men : last week they had orders to advance, and are now marching into Cafferland, and will take up their rsition on the Buffalo River, about 80 miles from Graham's-town, from thence to liinza is about 90 miles, and from thence to the Ensemfooboo about one hun dred and fifty more. Colonel Somerset has amongst his troops the 55th Foot. The remainder consists of the small detachment of artillery and engineers, and the mounted Hot tentot Rifle Corps, a force very inadequate to oppose to such an antagonist as Chaka, with about 30,000 troops. Now, and for ever, will be seen the absurdity of not following the Com missioners of Inquiry's recommendation of having a Lieutenant-Governor resident on the frontier. Our Commandant (Col. Somerset), permanent as he has lately been made, has no discretionary power ; before he can move a step, an express must travel 1,500 miles for orders, on the most trifling occasion ; an extra post is obliged to go off to Cape Town, and, by the most expedi tious travelling, a whole fortnight must elapse before a reply can be obtained." The following letter contains an interesting account of a Sof,iety for the Redemption of Slaves at the Cape of Good Hope : " Cape -town, Aug. 2. " A philanthropic society for assisting deserv ing slaves and slave children in purchasing their freedom, has just been established here, and pro mises to be well supported. In order to con ciliate the slave proprietors, no slave is to be emancipated by this association without the owner's consent, although by the late Govern . - ment ordinance aNy slave can demand his free dom on paying his master his purchase-money, estimated by a fair appraisement. Still, though the new, society has refrained from availing itself of this law, it is violently opposed by those who love slavery in the abstract, and are determined to uphold it to the last. Several liberal-minded slave proprietors, however, both Dutch and Eng lish, have become members of the institution ; and their example, it is hoped, will be gradually followed by others, when the beneficial operatio❑ of the society has been practically demonstrated. Already there are about eighty annual sub scribers on the list, besides a considerable amount of donations. " Young female slaves will have a preference to others, because the children of a free woman are free, although their father be a slave ; whereas the children of a free man are slaves, if the mother be in bondage. In order to render their funds as extensively available as possible, it is the intention of the Committee to assist adults in the way of loan only—to purchase as many female children as possible (apprenticing them for a certain number of years, as an indemnifica tion for their support during infancy), and to give the Society's bonds to such slave-owners as may be disposed to take them in payment, re deemable at certain proposed periods.* " Among the members of the Committee are the Rev. George Hough, Colonial Chaplain ; the Rev. Dr. Adamson, Minister of the Scotch Church.; the Rev. W. Wright, the Rev. Mr. Miles, Messrs. Wilberforce Bird, Stockenstrom (member of Council), Hawkins (East India Company's agent), Rutherford, Pillans, and several others of the most respectable British merchants. " Without effectual support from home, how ever, the operations of this association must be but limited. It is hoped that some arrange ments may be made with the Home Govern ment for facilitating and extending its influence ; and by thi. means ultimately, though gradually, attaining the consummation so devoutly to be wished for—the extirpation of the, curse of sla• very from this fine and improvable colony." # By the ordinance of June, 1826, the property of slaves dying intestate .is to go to a fund for re deeming female slave children by fair appraisement." BLESSINGS OF GAME LAWS.--A friend has lately estimated upon a moderate calculation, that the corn destroyed by game in the county of Hants alone, in one year , would be sufficient to support 100,000 people, and that the number of persons confined in prison, in the same county, for offences against the Game Laws, are sufficient t o employ a capital of 160,0001. in the manufacture of wool, cotton, or silk. COA Ls..—( From a Correspondent.) —As many persons are now laying in coals for the winter, they should strictly examine the sacks ; and, indeed, demand to have them measured. Let them examine the vender's ticket, and conform to the regulations therein prescribed. They should also make themselves acquainted with the Acts of Parliament ; for it is notorious that there is shame , fnl and almost shameless roguery practised in some depart ment of the coal-merchant-business. In passing through Brunswick-squar e a few days back, the writer of this paragraph saw some coal-beavers measuring a sack of coals, by order of th e coo k, t h e f am ily being out of tows. Thi s ceremony attracted a crowd, some of whom humanely and properly urged the cook to persevere in her duty, and these, as well as the honest servant, were consequently much abused by the gentlemen with black faces and white stockings. I could only wait to see one sack measured, which did not produce two bushels and a half! Conse quently, if there were five chaldrons coming in, there would be a deficiency of at least 311 bushels. This tran saction should be made known to the public, and every sack or ehaldron of coals should be measured at the house o f the consumer. If the famous Captain JOHNSON, who is so laudably watchful after public morals and the public good, would direct his reforming and inform/hp e ye to this evil, he would deserve and receive the thanks of so- WEST KENT QUARTER SESSIONS. (From the Maidstone Gazette.) Mr. BotA.AND said he rose to make a motion, which he said he had made for twelve succeeding years with succes ; but he understood that on the present occasion the motion was, for the first time, to be opposed. It was an application on the part of Mr. John Saville Faucit, for a license for a theatre at Greenwich, and the application wt.s supported by the recommendatory certificate of three Magistrates. The certificate was here read : it was signed by E. W Forman, Esq., I. Brandram, Esq., and R. P. Pritchard, Esq. Mr. LAW then put in a memorial from Messrs. J. and T. Weakly, coachmakers, of Greenwich. It set forth - that their premises adjoined the theatre, and they had a stock worth 8,000/., which was greatly endangered by the careless manner in which the theatre was conducted, it having been on fire three several times. In consequence the memo rialists had been obliged to increase their rate of in surance. The theatre was licensed in the name of Mr. Faucit, but in fact he had nothing to do with it, and the management was left entirely to a Mr. Mar shall. Representations had frequently been trade to the latter respecting the manner in which the theatre was conducted, but without effect. The memo rialists were kept in constant alarm by fire-works in the theatre, and they were greatly annoyed by a number of boys, prostitutes, and other disorderly persons who attended the theatre. It was further stated that several Magistrates had refused to sign Mr. Faucit's certificate. It concluded with a de claration that this opposition was not made from malicious motives. The' Court asked how long Messrs. Weakly had lived there? To which it ►vas replied, thirty-three years. Mr. LAW F.:a the theatre had been on fire within the last year. The Learned . Gentleman observed that his clients had been there 21! years before the theatre was opened, and the ground for the present application was briefly as follow :—The theatre was badly managed, the person who was held out as le gally responsible had no power or control over it, and it was the resort of persons of the most dis orderly description, so as to make it a nuisance to the neighbourhood. Messrs. Weakly had also sus tained a positive loss by being compelled to pay more for their insurance in consequence of the theatre having been on fire. He thought that the Magis trates who had signed the certificate had not exer cised the best discretion in so doing. Mr. BICKNELL, who had instructed Mr. Law in this case, here disclaimed any intention to convey the slightest censure on the Magistrates. Mr.LAw said he was not instructed, nor did he mean to throw censure on those gentlemen, but he could not help saying, from his own view of the circumstances, that he thought they had not exer cised the greatest, the largest discretion, in certi fying to the advantage of a thing which, from their residing at a distance from it, must be unknown to them. The CHAIRMAN observed that neither of the Ma gistrates lived more than a mile from the theatre. John Weakly deposed that he and his brother carried on business adjoining the theatre. Their premises had been exposed to danger from fire three times; the last time was about 18 months ago. His premises were formerly insured in the Atlas, but in consequence of the fire, that office rejected the in surance. He paid the money and the office re turned it. He was then obliged to insure in another office at double the former amount. A great num ber of idle and disorderly persons assembled out side of the theatre ; they consisted of boys, about 15 or 16 years old, and women of the town. Their conduct was very disorderly, so much so as to be nuisance. Comedies and operas were played at the theatre, and also pieces in which fire-works were used, such as the " Miller and his Men" and " Der Freischutz." The CHAIRMAN—Fire-works are used in the same manner at Drury-lane, the Opera-houses, and other theatres. Examination continued—lt had increased the in surance from 2.5/ to 30/. a year. His own men had assisted in putting out the are. Witness knew Mr. Faueit ; he had not attended to the management of the theatre for the last seven years. By the COURT—The Theatre had been there 16 or 17 years. Joshua Morris, an officer of the Sheriff, deposed that he lived in a house adjoining the theatre. He knew nothing about any riots there. He had lived there 13 years. The theatre was a nuisance to him. His pailings were pulled down by disorderly boys, and he was much annoyed by the infamous expres sions of boys and girls of the town. CHAIRMAN—Where were they ? Witness—Out side the theatre. Mr. BOLLAND to Mr. Law—Have you no more witnesses ? Mr. LAW—Oh, yes, I have more; but it -would be useless to call them, as I find it would have no effect. The ( HAtumAN—Weil, Mr. Law, you will make your own decision, and the Court wilt then make theirs. Mr. Law then sat down. Mr. Bolland rose to reply. The CitAirtmAN---Oh, Mr. Bolland, you may save yourself the trouble of replying; the Court is un• animous in granting the license as they have hitherto granted it. Mr. BOLLAND said, that, in justice to Mr. Faucit and the certifying magistrates, he must state that the 'else of the theatre had lately expired, and the magistrates would not have certified if they had not been satisfied with respect to the manner in which the theatre was conducted. Mr. LAW-I shall say no more. We must then take the only remedy left us, and indict. Mr. BOLLAND, with a smile---Why, we were going to complain of the coachmaker's turpentine and oil. The coach-maker and his men are more dangerous than the " Miller and his Men." MURDER IN THE COUNTY OF KILDARE. NA AS, SATURDAY NIGHT.-1 have ascertained the following particulars respecting the late horrible and mysterious occurrence in the neighbourhood of this town :--The parties implicated are Mrs. Coffey, wife of the deceased, Mr. M'Loghlin, her son, and a ntaid-servant. They are all at present lodged in the gaol of Nuas. The inquest terminated at a late hour last night, when a verdict of " Wilful Mur der" was returned against all the above parties. Evidence was given that M'Loghlin lately swore that he would be the destruction of the deceased. The differences between them arose as to a farm, half of which was held by M'Loghlin, who would never give an account of it ; Coffey, adopting legal advice which he took on the matter, served M'Logh lin, on Monday last, with a process for diet and lodging for several years, with a- view to compel him to settle the accounts between them. Mrs. M'Loghlin, it appeared, had joined with her son iu these disputes, and the difference between her and her husband proceeded to such a length, that they had not cohabited for some time past. Her 1 sleeping-roOm, however, adjoined his, and itwas necessary to pass through it to arrive in Mr. Coffey s bed-chamber. On Wednesday morning he was found dead in his bed. A deep incited wound had \ t h lte l e been i n fli c t e d a t t h e back of the neck , and anoth er immediately over the temporal a rter y . The sheets were covered with gore. The hatchet was bloody, and some hairs were found on it.

The compilers of the newly-published Gaelic Dictionary, it will readily be believed, encoun tered many difficulties in their undertaking— especially in finding proper examples for the use of words, from genuine compositions in the Gaelic tongue. Few printed volumes exist in that language, and with the exception of the translation of the Scriptures, scarcely any of these admit of being employed with propriety or advan tage. They chiefly consist of fugitive poetry of a local description, which it would be ludicrous, if not unavailin g , to attempt to translate. As to the amount ag e of the t doubts the poetry regardingoftliecottioie infer, o n r fe Celts, the compil ers d ec li ne discussion ; from which we authenticity of iVracplierson's Ossian are now finally established—thou g h we find constant reference made, in the body of the work, to these long contested poems. It was at first antici pated that the ancient Gaelic manuscripts be ' longing to the Highland Society, would have been of immediate and important service. Mr. Ewen Maclachlan of Aberdeen was employed to extensivethe investigation, d u e n e g y t r e h n e e r hab them le ardou r mised to conquer many of the obstacles the task andhisin presented ; but, unhappily, he died while his labours were yet incomplete, and we are told that the fruits of his industry were in a great measure lost, by their not being so far advanced, at the time of his death, as to be directly serviceable in the farther compilation of the work. • The compilers speak with great modesty of their exertions. They admit their etymological research to have been more limited than they could have wished ; and they neither arrogate to themselves perfectibility of plan, nor the com prehension of every term and word to be found in the several districts of Scotland in which the Gaelic language is spoken, in all of which there are peculiar provincialisms. They have exerted themselves with success to acquire a knowledge of those provincialisms ; but of all the spoken modern languages of Europe, the Gaelic perhaps affords the greatest facilities in the formation of compound terms and words—a native being scarcely ever at a loss to form a compound term fbr the expression of a rising idea—and hence their labours have been rendered doubly difficult. The second part of the work contains a full vocabulary of the English language from Todd' s edition of Johnson's dictionary. The third part consists of a Latin vocabulary translated into Gaelic ; bnt it was considered inexpedient to ex haust the vocabulary of the Latin language—and an apology is tendered to the admirers of it for the system pursued, on the ground that literalism is sometimes closely allied to barbarism. The compendium of grammar prefixed to the work is an abridged transcript•of the grammar pub lished by Dr. Stewart, a work of incontestable merit. It was intended that an appendix should be added to the Dictionary, explanatory of names of Celtic origin, both in the Highlands of Scotland and other parts of the kingdom ; but a dread of rendering the work too bulky occasioned the idea to be abandoned. It is satisfactory to learn, however, that this curious investigation will probably be made the subject of a separate volume. The general conduct of the work was intrust ed to the Rev. Dr. John Macleod, minister of Dundonald, who was assisted in some of its departments by the late. Ewen Maclachlan of Aberdeen, the late Rev. Dr. Alexander Irvine of Little Dunkeld, and the Rev. Alexander Macdonald at Criefr. In its progress through the press it was superintended and corrected by the Rev. Mackintosh Mackay, now minister of Lagan, to whose philological acuteness and learn ing It is admitted to be much indebted. A sus picion prevailed pretty generally in the north, where Mr. Maelachlan's abilities were highly appreciated, and not more highly than they de served, that there was an intention of keeping his labours out of view, or in other words, of appropriating them without a proper acknow ledgment. It is satisfactory to find that ample justice has been done to him ; and that, though the full extent of his services is not particularized it is acknowledged that he was the compiler on whom the Highland Society placed their chief reliance. We remember to have seen a consi derable portion of the Dictionary in manuscript, as compiled by Mr. Maclachlan, so far back as 1820-1. It was extremely rich in oriental etymons ; and we think the proofs of extensive research in the languages of the east are more abundant at the beginning than at the end of the Dictionary.
