PROSPECTUS OP THE
ENCYCLOPXWA MKTIMPOLITANA.

In presenting to the Politic a Fifth Part of the EKCYCLO-
PICDIIII ?II PTROPOLITANA, 114/1111C explanation may reason-
ably he expected by the Subscriber.' to site former Parts, of
the comae* which occamosed its suspension. The sale which
it had oldained at the time of its discontinssnce, and the
steadily increasing circulation which bail regularly charac-
terised its progress, were such encouraging minptunis of the
favourable opinion entertained of it by the Public, as ought
to have fully satisfied She most sanguine expeciati ~,, of its
friends. The sole mid immediate cause of its sudden inter-
ruption, was the failure of the individual in whom She pro-
perty of it was vested. Al the time when that event took
place, the Part which is stow presented to the Subscribers
was printed and actually ►eady for delivery; but the unfor.
tusiMe circumstance which had salami, of course at trace pre-
vented any step of that nature.
It is turner 00000 y to miter into the particulars of the man-
ner in which the skeet and copy-right of the work were alit/v.41
wards disposed of. It may he sufficient to iihierve, that she
interval which had then elapsed was sock, as seemed entirely
to preclude any idea, on the part of those info wham bawds
the EncycLogArsta IiTIROPOLITAX• bad Mira, of ever
resuming its publichtion; mod the change whit% their views
have undergone in this respect, has resulted entirely (Am
farts which have since been furred %spun their salvation.

These facts may rawly be stated and cettninly they mop-
ply a ready explanation of the determination which has now
been formed. The troth simply is, that information was
constantly occurring, of the anxiety expressed fur the con-
tinuance of the work, by those wl. had forincoly sabs7ritied
to it. This, however, admitted whop. of* particular ea-
planstioe but the inquiries respecting it which were male,
On I occasions, from other quarters, together with the
&site repeatedly urged for lit complr lion by rations indi-
viduals, whose opinion was entitled to 'fresher regard,
seemed, in fact, to supersede the necemity for any deltb►-
ration in the matter, further than regarded the nicety', both
literary and pecuniary, of carryiug utt au widertakiug so ex-
Rename, and involving so tinsels renpuosibility.
These latter difficulties, such as they were, have been -
I isfactorily removed. It in hoped that the names of Me
sent publishers of the ENICN CLOP4DIA M ITKOPOUT

will sliurd ample secnrity to Hie Public, that at all meats eo
future interruption is likely to occur from the want of com-
mercial resource*. And as to literary strength, the must
important changes that hare liceu made in this particular,
colorist in the greatly Mere/mod assistance which has hero
obtained; assistanee, it may be aibleJ, of a really high awl
valuable kind, and mach as, in the literary deparlmeuts of
the work, more especially, cannot but materially tooliibute
to its reputation.
As to the plan of the CacYCLOP.EDIA METoodoblisda,
and the principles upon which it will he r ...... acted, it is
mamas to say, that the,a will coutinue to he the same Si
have been followed in the Parts already published. Some
slight n►odifcatton, it will Le seen, a contemplated in the
Historical and Biographical Department, in order to rendre
that important protince more full a 4161 complete 141110 it is
apprrhewded might be practicable, aceor,llue to the strict

suche eimeqoaloted with the scheme according-to ichtels
11011 OTAILDIaI METROPOLITAN/ has been divested, an
a the ftirao in which the 'civet divisions of die
eta will appear, may be desirable.
.rodi whole when completed will nut 'Acted Twenty-dye
indlemea. and will consist of runt main divioitioa. The
Piro, which, for sake of distiactireo, may be called the PM- •
laeophical Part, comprising the pare sod abstract eekeeee,
will be contained to two volumes ; mud the Second; the
Scientific Pert, under which head the mitred and applied
sciences are ensured, will be completed in sir volumes.
Its this part of the work, the sobjict of manufacture, as
connected with the arts and sciences, will form an articliby
itself. By classofting the principal Inventions that hare
been contrived for the abridgment of human labour, and
arranging them according fei their practical Ultb, or to the
width

Ibis especial sky, it is proposed, that the Biography, whe-
ther it be of divines, or naturalists, or mathematicians, or
of mew celebrated in any other learned pursuit, shall, in
each case, be wrilleu by those to whom the particular sub-
jects have bees respectively committed, in the general ar-
rangement of the work. The concluding, ur Miscellaneous
Part, occupy* eight volumes, besides being referential
and suppieseetary, to the preceding volumes, and centime(
a complete Geographical Dictionary, will also exhibit a
feature entirely pew in our literature. We are war 'lind-
en to a Philosophical end Etymological Thes f the
English Language. The history of every word, from the
earliest dawn of letters in this country, will be conveyed
in cautious, winged according to the age of the works
from which they are selected ; every attention teeing paw,
at the ovine time, to the independent beauty or value of the
sentences chose., so far as is consistent with the higher
ends of a clear insight into the original and acquired
meanings of the several words. The volume of Index will
tuenp:ete this divalet.
It will seedily be seem, that the two first divisions of a
work thus arranged, will grew naturally out of each other;
the needful references wjll, therefore, be generally retrospec-
tive, and rarely made to future volumes. In the Biographi-
cal department, the same truths and principles will be re_
pealed and illustrated, which bad been previously enlarged
upon in the either divisions of the work; while in the Inas.
rellaneous portion, every subject will be found is, its alpha-
Islical place, that lead not been more fully explained in some
other part of the work; is which last case, by turning to
the Index, the exact page and volume, in which the neer.-
seri information is contained, will be at came pointed out. •
Each Part will be separately paged, so that when compieleel.
the work may be booed according to Its several divisions;
while daring its publication, the relative proportions of these
four divisions will be accurately preserved in each Part.

- • The eonveniencies attached to this arrangement are ob.
tricots. As to the positive advantages which it bolds fortis.
it is possible some persons may not think so highly of
them, as we may be induced to conceive. We are perfectly
aware orate objections which may be stated against this, as
Weed against any possible arrangement that could be de-
vised; fur there are difficulties involved in the very dietary
of an Encyclopedia. But, at all event., our scheme Is free
(runt the specific objections that bate been so often urged
against all the plans, upon whick the Eucyclopsedias hereto-
fore published, have been severally arraeged. No Supple-
ments will be required—the reader will know at once where
to seek for the information uhuch he may desire...whatever
subject has beru once heated, will not return mime him
under a mere ebenge of name—no omission of insportesce
is likely to harpers, except when it bat been premeditated.
To which may be added, the unt enimporlant cousideratiott
that it will at bast be possible fur the Conductor of the work
to calculate its progress, and to fulfil the promise which the
Proprielswe have gives for its completion within the linuts
of the proposed design.
With respect to the objects of the ENCYCLOP.CDIA Me-
TROPoLITAII4, so far as the Proprietors are concerned, they
are of course the seine as have influenced the Proprietors of
all other stook• of a similar kind. They certatuly do
hope to rueet that fair encouragement from the Public, which
may remunerate them for the trouble and most heavy ex-
pense which 111•1 must necessarily lacer. It is hoped, how-
ever, that the Conductors of the ENCYCLOPASADA roars.
POLITANA, will be found to have beta actuated by m01e.%
of a inure disinterested nature; for assuredly had not objects
of a higher character entered into their views, they would
never hive embarked their time and best abilities its ati or.
cupation, neither forced upon them by their circninstances,
nor [lowing out of the duties belonging more immediately tit
their proper station. This, however, is a subject to which
it is necessary only to have adverted, and baying adverted
to it, it seems nearly superfluous to add, that not only will
nothing be admitted into any part of the work that can be
offensive to manners or to morale, but tin titteredu of
elegy, and more particularly the interests of Christiantly,
are objects which, it is presumed, will
per opportunity, be lust sight of. It is conceived that an
Encyclopedia ought to be, and octets its Net forms tenet
of family library : sate will be taken that the ENCYCLOPX-
DIA SINTROPOLVEAN• shall be one which no parent will
think it necrwaty to place beyond the reach of his children.
With regard to the more general features of the work, it
is certainty sot Weeded that the ENCYCLOPAEDIA NI
POLITANA shall be less scientific, in a large mid liberal sew,
of the word, thea soy of those by wbicb it has bees pan-
ceded; hot endeavours will be made to rendre it lege dikes,

art forth in various Petitions presented to your Honourable
House in the last Session of Parliament, and which appears
Its the Report of the Committee un Agriculture to have been
fully proved, have siure most alarmingly iscreased.

LONDON

Went of the Irish people a seslettl of net '
very dis►imilar from that which existed among the
Highlanders of Scotland some years since. This
constitutes a bond of union which is held sacred
among them, and gives to every individual of the
union a claim upon all the rest to protect him living,
and to revenge his death. The links of this union
extend not merely to those who are mutually con-
nected by cmitanguinity it) every imaginable degree,
but they encircle all who are united by the mar.
tines of any members of their several families, and
even ouch as may chance to become sponsors for
their children, and their families. The extension
of this union is an object of great pride with
the mass of the lower orders, and the sense of
security with which the consciousness of the num-
ber► of a clan inspires them individually, is not nil-
frequently a cause of those desperate outrages
which bring disgrace upon the character of the
country. This circumstance will explisin, in some
degree, how such offenders as CONNELL can escape
in open day, and in sight of many persons. The
men of his own clan would feel themselves bound in
honour to succour him, conceal him, and aid his
escape, were he ten times a murderer; and the ap-
rehensioo of their vengeance would deter all persons,
not of his party, from interfering openly in causing
his arrest and punishment. The diameter of the of-
fence signifies nothing in their estimation, and the
facility of the rulßato's escape ought not to he con-
strued into a supposed concurrence in his guilt
n taut the part of those who declined to interfere in
preventing it. CONNELL, it is said, rented about
a quarter of an acre of land from KEAY!. The
rents of such small portions of land are in Ireland
oppressively exorbitant, amounting commonly to
the rate of 151. or 201. an acre. This system of ex-
tortion is the parent of great misery, and we may
safely presume that, in this recent instance, it was
the cause of this unfortunate luau's murder.
In the trials reported in our Paper this day,
some evidence will be found respecting the number
of persons who were sometimes employed in the
nightly excursions iu search of antis. It was stated
that the White Boys amounted on one occasion to
nearly 200 men, of whom from 61) to 70 were on
horseback; but so uncertain is any calculation of
• confused body of persons, that in the same trial
a second witness said that the party amounted to
about 80 or 100 men.
Mr. Goommax arrived in Dublin on Thursday
evening, and the Marquis WELLESLEY was ex-
pected on Wednesday. A programme of the cere-
monial which will be observed on his Lordship's
landing at the Pigeon-house, and of the procession to
the Castle, has been issued from the Office of Arms.
His Excellency Earl TALBOT will hold an undress
levee at the Castle oil Thursday, preparatory to
his departure from Ireland.
The Magistrates of the county of Tipperary
agreed unanimously, at a late meeting, to present
a memorial to Ma,quis WELLESLEY, praying the
