IRELAND.
DUBLIN, NOVEMBER 19.
The Committee of the National Testimonial have
called • general MeetiOg of the subscribers, to be
held at the Royal Exchange, on the 291 h instant,
for' tlie:eurpo-e of receiving the (tenor; of the Com-
naideltv, ind deciding upon the '1 et to be
erected.
It is %ills great regret we. gprf jhe gross
amount of sub-criptiOns already naid into hands
of the Treasurer., fulls viry,fgr, shoal judeeil of
those expectations which wt Fonsawatiwith our
totempotatles, indulged to wick thisAamer was
first agitated. "2.K'
We are somewhat at a loss to account for the dis.
appoiament. The distresses of the times, doubt-
less, are utiosually heavy and extensive ; but we
cannot think Ireland is even yet an poor as to be
Unable to make a larger national subscription than
eleven thousuild pounds! The Duke of Welling-
ton is by no means popular amongst the majority of
his countrymen; yet our notional suloicription to
commeolorute the visit of our
,gracious and patriotic
King., who fives in the heart °revery Irishinaii, does
trot amount to above two-thirds of the sum which
was raised to build a tiophy to perpetuate the
Duke's fame! Surely there is something very
strange and unaccountable tis this!
Much advantage suss anticipated hewn the exer-
tions of eertliii gentlemen, who professed, and un-
dotibtsd'y felt a great interest in the success of the
subscription fluting the lute Circuits. Any efforts
of this kind, however, if indeed any such were
made, appear to have failed altogether.
With the exception of. we believe, a couple of
hundreds of pounds front IrVaierford,_ nothing, lite-
tally nothing, has been received .from the armory.
'There oat a rueetiog ist Crit:k, but no subscrip.
tint, that we have heard of took place there.
To be sure, it is not yet too late. But if the
comities do intend to subscribe, they certainly
should not procrastinate any longer. Galway has
at length taken the lead, and we trust its example
will be generally followed. We extract the Re-
quisition fium the last number of the Connaught
Journal:
To Me Iligh Sheriff./ Me County of Galway.

" Gallekrlly, 10th November, 1831."

We understand that on Thursday, the eth inst.
as his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant was on his
way to Glenarm Castle, he was met et the foot of
the hill called the Path, by en immense concourse
of the neighbouring people, who had been collect-
ing there from on early hour in the day, all most
anxious to have an opportunity of testifying to the
amiable Viceroy of Ireland, their loyalty and
gratitude for the distinguished honour conferred by
his Excellency's visit to their bold romantic coast.
Immediately on the horses pulling op at the foot
of that stupendous mountain, they were taken from
the carriage by the people, who conveyed his Excel-
lency to the Castle (a distance of upwards of two
miles) amidst the shouts and chtets of the assemble d
throng, with • rapidity and management which, to
those aware of the difficulty of takings heavy carriage
over such a toad, really appeared astonishing. 'nit
men of the Preventive Water-guard service, under
the command of that active and intelligent officer,
Captain Piskenhirm, turned oat on the OCCd$lOll, its
their dress uniform, and certainly added much to
the efl:ct of the accuse. On reaching the summit
of die hill, the appearance presented by the valley
and aurioundiug► cosintly was truly beautiful. It
was then nearly dank, and the village of Glenarm
had been illuminated in honour of the occasion ;
the owner of every little cottage vied with his
neighbour in the brilliancy of its appearance, and
each towering hill, as fa► as the eye could reach,
teemed by its bonfires to welcome his Excellency'.
approach to the hospitable and fine old mansion
of Glenarm Castle. The yeomanry corps, cont.
mended by Capt. Mathewson, lined the principal
street of the village, and paid his Excellency, on
passing, die accustomed military honours.
The arrival of the procession at the Castle was an-
nounced by a salute of three trollies from the yeo-
manry. On his Excellency's alighting from his
carriage he was received at the grand entrance by
Air. AP Donnell and the Countess of Antrim ; the
tits in attendance being all splendidly attired
in c r sots and gold state liveries. Mr. M'Don-
nell immediately after made his appearance ■t
the great door, where an immense a,semblage of
people had collected, and addressed them.—
He said he ass directed by his Excellency the
Lord Lieutenant to return them his best thanks

for the flsttrriiig reception they had been pleased to
give ban ; end (ssid Mr.M'Dontiell) fur my own
part, Gentlemen, I think you ull most heartily for
your attention this dry to my distinguished guest."

IN ARCHITECTURE.

Abacus, the part or member of the capital of a colorise ;
ser►iug as a crowning both to the capital sad to the whole
column. Acanthus, the lea►es of a plant which forms the
ornament of the capital of the Corinthian order. Vitruvius
ascribes the use of these to the following accident :—A young
lady dying, her nurse was desirous of consecrating to her
manes certain toys which she was fond of in her life-time;
which the good woman carried in a little tra.ket,covered with
a square tile, and placed it among some green plauts which
grew on her grave. One of these, which happened to be an
Acanthus shooting up, encompassed the basket all around,
Sill meeting with the tile, it roiled back in the form of
scrolls; Callimacbus, a noted Greek sculptor, passing by,
took the hint, mud immediately executed • capital on this
plan; represeating the tile by the Abacus, the leaves of the
