Drams, Joss 19.
A grand review took place in the Phoenix Perk,
yes'e,day, io honour of the neniverrary of Waterloo.
The Lord-Lieutenant was present, and a nut con-
course of spectators collected to see the trove
manceuvred. The number of carriages with fashion-
able ladies exceederl what has appeared for several
years ; and in the afternoon the streets of Dublin pre-
sented a truly brilliant appearance.
Of late we have had some rather harsh weather,
the wiad being north-east; but there has been a
great improvement. At the end of last week sonic
blight was observable in some directions, but it was
of no great extent. Since then the weather has be-
come much more genial. The general report of the
harvest and the state of the crops continues to be
most favourable.

of his company, but now, after having received the most
satisfactory replete, he was ready to march at their 'mad at
any time, and at every time. Alter paying ri very high
