Litioduction to the feature of my vnyage of the.
♦u«ri Mewing nature. On enteraig the Abbey, all
that description bad .pninteil of this enchanting
p le, came very far short of the eiltleCt. it produced
ism.l my mind, in surveying its hallo.ved walls.
Fortunately 1 ;tad chosen a thee for the excursion,
wile.l the spot was rendered more interesting Ire
the company asaea►lsted. in ene part were a 'Taupe
or toedievand Gentlemen, with.. table-cloth spread

on the green velvet, enjoying si nooti-day repast,
inn females seated on the butt:roses of the ansient
failure. In chasett points were mei of taste, com-
mitting its ruined scenery to fame by means of the
pencil. In the choir were elegant women walking
* woe, or seated on its rums, contemplating the
beauty of the objects which surrounded them;
while, in the north transept, were a convivial party
enjoying e luxurious dinner. With one of thew
parties were some gentlemen, who perfn:livvl ex-
tre,nely well on the Oennart flute, whose soft and
dulcet sounds were occasionally relieved by the
gireaul .salts of the bugle-nom, sounded from
another part of the venerable pile. The evening
wai all that viola be wished to crown such plea-
imam ; jt being the full of the moon, whose in-
&teller was rendered inimitably fine, by her beanie
glrainiop, through the rich gothic windows, mantled
with ivy, on the southern walls of this Inagnifi-
tent mit.

This building saws the residence of the Tannins
Earl fihrotighow. When he went to Ireland he
built one upon the same plan, and gate it the same
warne, via. Tintern Abbey, the family residence
of the senior branch of the Colelough family, in
the county of Wexford, lately inhabited by John
Colelaugh, Esq. late Representative for that
county, whose unfortunate and much-lamented
death, in s duel with Mr. Aleock, is do* 'the ground
of a Petition for the renioval of the hitter from
Lis seat in the House of Commons.
