Two Voteouses

. .
Then. volumes !Anne to time important elan of literary
product which stands next in warrior rank tat that of
elementary *stoke on Education; and they contain a fond of
mural and intellocinal inetruction, which renders them a
vs ry appropriate present for young persons on their outset
in life. Their main abject is tat furnish the inexperienced
with the means of forming a true estimate of the world and
ita tarions concerns, to enable them to distinguish between
the good and the evil that are placed within their reads, and
to convince Sham that the happiness of which human nature i
is susceptible in the present state of existence, consists in
those occupatiuna and pursuits which afford gratification
not only in act, but on Miceli ttttt and on a ratiAtal view
of tie it consequences. The amiable writer has exerted her-
self with great felwily, to prove that the range of legitimate
and innocent enjoyments is far more varied and extensive
than rither the voluptuary or the devotee would he willing
to acknowledge; and she has with equal success demon-
strated the fallacy of those fashionable remedies for emoted,
and those tetisted expedients for the dissipation of thonght
I and the consumpl of time, which have frequently no
other result than that of proving the troth of Rochrfou-
-1 Clllll.O maxim, that a man who aloes not find case within
himself, seeks for it in vain elarvain re.
" Let us ask ourselves, what are the eireamataneett under
I which we feel the purest and truest content. Is it wheat we
lare immersed in the pursuit of gaiety and amusement? Is
it when we rue promwrons in our schemes of aggrandize.
I ment, when we succeturfoily foil an enemy, or supplant a
I viral? a hen we indulge any tnrlntlent or malignant passion,
tls it under such circumstances that we experience the high-
eat aaticfaction? Every candid respondent will answer in
1 lime negative, will honestly confess. that though all evanes-
cent emotion of exultation may eu.netimes attend such or.
cations, it is a feeling very distinct from happiness.
" Let us next inquire, what are our *imitations under finite
opposite citeumotaisa es? Ito we mourn or rejoice when we
I are busy, even to fatigue, lam the duties of our elation? when
loccupied, even toaelf-negligence, in schemes of benevolence
and charity? when advocating an enema, ur assiating a ri-
Ival ? when we exert any gentle or amiable affect inn ? when
we control any impetuous or vicious propensity? Upon
i sorb orcaeions, are we gratified or pained ? The answer
given by every ingenuous, every reflecting mind, must prove
an unequivocal acksios fragment that these alone are the dr-
eurnat•uces in which the purest, the fullest content is expe-
riviterol.
`The answer to these questions (the propriety of which
few will contest) goes far to establish two very important
I points: first, pruning that a high degree of happiness can be
enjoyed; sec ttttt Ity, pot, t ill! out rides as the only medium
thraiugh which it can he obtained."
In the rUILTIIII4III of her task, the author has developed
the stores of a highly gifted and well educated mind, and
I has eeinctal an extensive acquaintance with the human elm-

to its manifold diversities. Front the abundance of
amusing and interesting matter which the work contains,
clue may fairly claim the praise of haying practically illus.
lusted her theory by this addition to the !twiny enjoyments

APPREHENSION.

DUBLIN, SEPTEMBFR IS.
Between the boon, of bercoond right o'clock 01

Friday morning a rubbery of the most audacious
nature was effected at the town residence of John
Bachelor, Esq. 27. William-street. Five men
knocked nt the hall-door, and were answered from
a window by a female
stated that twelve loads of hay were coming in front
the country (Mr. Bachelor has a country residence
at Butterfield-lime, Rathfarnham), and that they
hail been sent to pack and deposit it, in proof of
which they produced a key, which, they said, was
that of the hay loft. The girl, satisfied with this
statement. Uprtied the hall-door, when she was in-
staidly seized by one of the party, dragged into the
worry, a pistol held to her head, and threatened
with being shot if she made the slightest 'wise; the
other four of the guog, in the mean time, broke
Opel, the office door. and forced a desk. in which
was contained the key of sui iron sore. which they
plundered of Bank notes and gold and silver spe-
cie to the amount of upwards of 600/., together
with some valuable securities, with the entire of
which they made a deliberate retreat. It was not
for some riiinutra that the female servant was suffi-
ciently recovered from her fright, to spread en
alarm in the neighbourhhod ; the afterwards gave
information of the circumstance at College-street
Police Office, anti notice war also served at the
Head Office. Peace officers Flanagan and Devils,
al t two o'clock, were going along Dame-street,
when they accidentally overheard a conversation,
in which a Mill boattei, that he, unlike his com-
panions, hod a large note, fur change of which
lie was going to the Bank. Hip exterior appear-
ance not exhibiting symptoms of wealth, it ex-
cited suspicion in the officers, and lie was in-
stantly accosted by Flanagan, and brought to the
(lead Police Office. U pot examination he turned
out to be a cloilies-broker, residing in Piuokett-
street. named Garen. sod 'he stated that a 111311
and woman were then waiting in his shop, having
bought snow articles, iii payment for which they
gave the note, change for which he was gaing for
to the Bank, when stopped by the officers in Dame.
street. The account he gate turned out to be
correct, for peace officers Water*, Gilbert, Manly.
Wright, and Raymond, had been dispatched on
" the look out," and actually had a distant, yet
observant eye, me the couple in Plunkett-street
shop : when Flanagan and Davis arrived the man
and woman were arrested, and proved to be Walter
Murphy and his wife, oho keep an oyster-stand
in Temple-bar ; the 50!. note was subsequently
identified by Mr. Bachelor as part of the stolen
property ; Garen was enlarged ; the officers pro-
ceeding in their perambulatioris and inquiries, ascer-
tained that two men were driuking iii a public-
house in Patrick-street, who appeared possessed of
more money than it was reasonable to suppose they
came fairly by. The officers contrived to have a
view of those jovial carousers, and recognised them
to be old acquaintances, named Bartholomew Fal-
lon: and Martin Magrath ; upon being opine-
beilded and searched, Batik notes to the amount of
01. were fouud upon them, part of which has been
