DUBLIN. J.N. 6.

TRIAL% BEFORE. THE RECohlriA.
Eliza Grey was indifted, for having, on the Si
Nov. last, stolen three table-cloths, and three pair
of sheets, the property of Vi,cluntess
Mary Jones, a fellow servant of Prisoner, proved
that she had lived in the same house with Prisoner,
with a Nliss Dawson, in Marlborough-street, and that
she found, the sheets, which she identified, under the
Prisoner's bed ; that the trunk which had been in
the Hest room, and which was Lady Charleville's,
had been examined, and the sheets and other pro-
perty were missing.
Miss Dawson was next calleJ, who proved, that
the trunk was deposited in her care, and that on
charging the Prisoner with the robbery, a conversa-
tion ensued.

Miss Dawson candidly admitted she promiged
the Prisoner pardon if she acknowledged her crime,
and discovered her accomplice. The l'risonet was
accordingly arqtvited.
Abr,,bum Irader was tried for using provoking
language with intent to excite Dodor Kelly, of the
Lying-in Hospital, to commit a breach at the peace.
by fighting a duel ; be was found Gviity, but the
Court stagge%ted, that the parti,s had better com-
n:une Inge:her beLore a sentence should be pro-
nounced.

Counsel on bnth sides agreed on this point—but
it was filially determined, that Mr. Walker should
tli,ch.trgcd upon paying the line of one mark—it
having bet•it pi eviJusly understood, that no apology
was tcx take 'dace, but that Mr. W. should pay Dr.
Kelly's expeiscrs.

TO TILE EDI roft up ELIE Dal nsii PRESS.

S I a---It gave me pleasure to read in some of your
drily itiong, the advertisement of the second
edition of that excellent small Traft, Oholde /char ;
and if you think it may gratil y some of your readers,
republish my sotiments on The Ideas, if you think
proper, and you'll oblige your reader, Cat ro.

I cannot withhold my testimony of approbation
to the unknown author of Utrv..te Mar; whether
she is maid, widow, or wife, she has as improved
mind, a sound understanding, and a Fond heart,
and would adorn any station; -her book is calculated
to inspire right sentiments, correct false ideas, and
inculcate the purest morality. It should not be con-
fined to a small circulation, but published for ge-
neral benefit. As a composition, it would stand
the test of criticism ; and the oliect it has in view
stamps upon it an additional value. The influence
of female manners on the national character is un-
bounded. What the fair sex patronize, recommend,
and encourage, will be universally ad opted ; with
them reformation will commer.ce ; they controul
the Lords of the Creation, and can mould them to
their wishes. Every attempt, therefore, to bias
them in favour of virtue, by rectifying the errors of
education, custom, and fashion, is truly laudable.
But the misfortune is, that neither serious reproof,
nor satire, nor raillery, can counteract the force of
example ; and even the ridicule here conveyed, how-
ever well directed ant ezpre.sed. will be read, ad-
mired, and assented to, one moment; and the
next laid aside and forgotten, from the dread of sin-
gularity ; so that another letter sercts to be wanting
in this volume, to enforce the necessity of despising
common opinion ; being above the censure, deri-
sion, and contempt of the world ; and maintaining a
firmness of mind and dignity of character, with a re-
solution of aging up to our principles, at all times,
arid in all circumstances. When this is attained, every
advice and precept will be attended to, every seed
rsi l•grow, and every plant will flourish. Tne ad-
monition here given to a young libertine would be
effeltual, and the rage for pleasure and dissipation
would then have some bound Virtue would he
held in esteem, age would be honourable, and folly
only would be put to shame. The scandalous inde.
coney of dress. sa disgusting in itself, so pernicious
to health, and is inimical to all the purposes which
it was meant to answer, is here exposed in such
striking colours, that one would think nothing but
the most consummate assurance could persist in its
continuance. The cause of single ladles is likewise
Si we:l defended, that none need to apologise for
preferring their independence to any conneelion of
pride, interest, or vanity; and the term " old maid,"
which is meant for a reproach, may be considered as
only a nick name for a wise woman.
r Take physic, Pimp," is hers Shakspipare

The fault; of the piece are so few, that they are
not worth mentioning. The only o!ijeftion is the
tile. Gad forbid such ideas and sentiments should
ever be OLISOLITL I and the relledion here con-
tained will contribute not a little to prevent them
from being so ; a second editios will enable the
author to add another letter on the pernicinus diens
of navels and romances, which, by corrupting the
female mind, are the source of infinite mischief to
society. Success attend all the produaions of this
ingenious author!
