" Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

" Again, a Mr. Cunningham, of Edinburgh, alleges
that a relative of his alleges, or alleged, that the Coun-
tess of Mornington alleged in a written letter, that so
and so . But where is the Countess's letter to be
seen? Who knows her handwriting? Nay, what proof
have we of the existence of Mr. Cunningham? The as-
sertions of Mr. Cunningham, of Edinburgh, or of Mr.
Murray, of Dublin, are worth as much in the case as the
proofs which they furnish, and no more; and to a pe-
rusal of mine I hope I may invite without fear of their
proving unsatisfactory.—l have the honour to be, Sir,
your very obedient servant,
JOHN MURRAY, LL.D.

" Trinity College, Sept. 22, 1852."
Mr. Murray is the gentleman who, by accident,
discovered the entry in an old Dublin magazine,
which purported to have been published on the Ist
of May, and therein was contained a notice of the
birth of a son to the Countess Of Mornlxigtou, on the
29th ult. (April). Mr. Murray then searched the
records of Peter's Church, and found the entry which
has been already repeatedly mentioned, consequently
he maintains that he has unquestionable proofs that
the great Duke was not born at Dangan, but in
Dublin ; and that most certainly the Ist of May was
not his birthday.
[ln Mr. Murray's pamphlet we read—" A monthly
periodical, published in Dublin, of high repute in
those days, styled .Exshaw's Gentleman's Magazine,
exhibits tte following entry in its May number,
1769 April 29, the Countess of Mornington of a
soul' " And again—" On search made in the re-
gistry (at St. Peter's Church, Dublin), I found the
subjoined entry at foot of a page headed, ' Christen-
ings, 1769 April 30. Arthur, son of the Right
Hon. Earl and Countess of Mornington,' and signed,
Isaac Mann, Archdeacon.'" After this it is non-
sense to assert that the Great Duke was born on the
Ist of May.—ED. Sun.]

DANISH STEAM DREDGE, AND NOVEL

VOYAGE FROJI 711 E. CLYDE.
While the fame of our noble river is spreading far and
wide by the magnificent steam-ships that are constantly
sailing from her ports, it has recently been extended to
a northern shore in rather a peculiar manner. The Danish
Government, it seems, some time ago determined on an
extensive dredging operation being commenced for the
purpose of clearing the harbour of Copenhagen of its
dangerous bars, and of increasing its shipping accommo-
dation. With this view the Government established a
set of dredging machines, moved by horse-power, but
finding this a slow process, especially in their own
hands, they advertised to let the work by contract,
and a company was formed, who became the success-
ful competitors for the job. This company set about
it in a business-like way, and commissioned from
this country a first-rate steam dredge on the newest
principle. This marine machine has just been com-
pleted at the building-yard of Messrs. Henderson and
Son, at the Patent Slip, Renfrew, and is of the follow-
ing dimensions, being the most powerful dredge yet
built in Great Britain:—Her length is 100 feet over
all; breadth, 22} feet; horse-power of the engine, 30;
and her capacity of dredging 24 feet deep. On being
launched, the enterprising builders next considered
the best means of getting her across to Copenhagen,
and at once determined to tow her all the
way from the Clyde—an undertaking which must
seem, to those acquainted with the most unship-
looking appearance of a dredger, no light one.
Messrs. Henderson, however, were not daunted; but hav-
ing got their craft firmly secured by strong hawsers to a
tug built by themselves for the use of the dredge at Co-
penhagen, they procured the aid of another Clyde tug, and
set sail on Saturday eight days down the Frith, rounded
the Mull of Cantyre, and entered the Caledonian Canal
on Tuesday. Having passed through the canal and
sailed from Inverness on Friday night, and the Clyde
tug having returned, the fleet is to be joined by the
Glenalbyn, of Leith, and, dragged by this powerful
steamer and her own tug, the nredger is expected to
arrive, wind and weather permitting, about the time we
write in the sound. We understand she will bo employed
for twelve years, and that the King of Denmark is con-
templating still more extensive operations, and a
thorough deepening of all his harbours. Honour to
our Clyde shipbuilders, and may they go on extending
their renown in all directions.—Glasgow Constitutional.

MINING INTELLIGENCE.
(From the Mining Journal of this day.)
Considering the time of year, the market is in as
healthy a state as could be expected; and when the Oc-
tober dividends are declared, we doubt not its tendency
to a considerably increased business in shares. Bedford
United have advanced to 8/; Devon Great Consols, 3901;

The directors of the Devon Great Consols Mining
Company, at their weekly board meeting, yesterday, de-
clared a dividend of 8,1924 being

from profits on sales of ore sampled for the months of
May and June last. After payment of the same, there
remains in hand a balance of 34,5321 14s 5d in cash, ore
