the safe and its conten's, in our countinz-hou.l, although

LEGENDS OF MoVNT LEINSTER —Same time age, we
:stotieed a.pleasant little book under the above title, by Mr.
*Kennedy of Dublin, and we fiad that the same author has
issued a supplementary companion, called the " Banks of

in the Country Wexford—full of legends and romance.
,The stories are graphic and natural—the local manners
• and customs ably described—a task for which the author is
well fitted. The work (360 pages) promises to be a
pleasant companion to the popular Railway Library.

'ids engagement at the Theatre Royal to-night. During
'his stay, Mr. Mathews will appear in some characters, new
as yet to the public of Liverpool. A crowded house may
be expected tc-night, for, in addition to the inexhaustible
attractions of the actor, the alterations and beautifully
got-up decorations of the theatre will be a strong addi-
tional inducement to many. Comfort and beauty of
'appearance are equally consulted in the altered arrange-
Inents of this theatre.

`An the building before it wan discovered, and as a con-
. asequence, very considerable damage was done before the
