THE FAMILY CLASSICAL LIBRARY.--•
The Fourth Number of this cheap and valuable publica-
tion, which is to appear on the I,st of April, will contain
XENOPHON'S Cyropmdia. The numberless persona who,
having no knowledge of the Greek language, are naturally
desirous of attaining some acquaintance with the imperish-
able stores of thought and intelligence recorded in it, will
gladly welcome the opportunity of possessing so cheap and
elegant a translated edition of this delightful production of
an author who has been called "tee Attic Muse " and
" the Attic Bee "—of whom it has been said that the
Muses would express themselves in his language ; that his
style is sweeter than honey ; that the Graces themselves
appear to have assisted in its formation—and who displays
(to borrow the words of Dr. KNox) "what is more
valuable than all verbal elegance, a fine system of morality."

DUBLlN.—Yesterclay evening, the 17th inst.,
as Captain SMITH, of the 32d Regiment, quartered in this
garrison, was driving rapidly from Dawson-street into
Nassau-street in a cab, Mr. STANDISH O'GRADY, nephew
of the Chief Baron of the Exchequer, was quietly riding
by, and who to avoid the danger put his whip to the
horse's head. The military gentleman, who was in com-
pany with one of his brother officers, thereupon got out,
and in presence of a number of persons indicted a furious
horsewhipping on Mr. O'GRADY, who made no resistance
but inquired the name of his enraged assailant. The re-
sult was a meeting last night about midnight, on some
waste ground near Brunswick-street, when Mr. O'GAADY
was shot dead. He was a most pacific unoffendiog per-
son, and will be much regretted. An investigation will
of course take place. Two of the junior Fellows of the
College were passing by, and were put to imminent ha-
zard to escape the danger of contact with the horse, who
seemed to be incapable of contronl.

The general meeting for the purpose of rais-
ing a fund for rebuilding the English Opera-house, takes
place on Monday. All those frequenters of the theatre
who prefer good music to bad, will, we have no doubt,
press forward to chew their sense of the merits, and to
a.sist the objects, of a person who has done so much to-
wards improving the national taste of his countrymen,
which was before a mere byword in the musical
and all who sympathise with an enterprising man bravely
contending with his difficulties, instead of weakly sinking
under them, will be glad of an opportunity of evincing
their respect for one of the best traits of English character.
We observe many names of the highest respectability in
the list of those who have called this meeting, and sanc-
tioned its objects by becoming a Committee for their
furtherance.— Times.

The Lord Primate of IRELAND has con-

tributed the munificent donation of 25,000/. towards the
•rebuilding of the Cathedral at Armagh. The estimated
cost for its completion is 500,0001. The remaining
25,000/. will be advanced from the Consolidated Fund,
to be returned by instalments, for which purpose the bene-
ficed Clergy of the Diocese have voluntarily consented to
tax their• livings at the rate of one per cent.
The funeral of the Hon. DOUGLAS KIN-
NAIRD took place yesterday morning at St. Martha's-in-
the-Fields, at a little after ten o'clock. The coffin was
conveyed in a hearse and six, followed by twelve mourning
coaches, drawn by four horses each, and about twenty
private carriages belonging to the Nobility and others,
friends of the deceased.

THE BEAUTIES OF EQUITY.—A case was
tried at Oxford a few days since, DOE, on demise of
DRAraR, c. LEE, which was an action of ejectment to
recover possession of about half an acre of ground, situate
at Ducklington, in Berkshire. The nominal plaintiff,
says the Bab Chronicle, was a parish pauper, and the
case was only remarkable from the enormous expences at
Equity and Common Law, which had been incurred by
the attorneys on either side. Mr. TALYOURD, for the de-
fendant, in an eloquent speech, which was honoured at its
conclusion by several distinct rounds of applause, stated
that the proceedings had no parallel in the history of legal
oppression, the whole amount sought to be recovered being
only 1/. 15s. 5/d., and the expences incurred by Mr. Lax
in defending himself in Chancery, amouating to 4001. ! ! !
At this trial the Jury found for the defendant.
INlCannow, the man whose trial and convic-

ion for the murder of Mr. Moan°, at Liverpool, we

gave a few days ago, was executed at Lancaster on Monday
morning. He persisted to the last in maintaining his in-
nocence.

CHARLES BURTON, who discovered the
skeleton of HEMMING, has claimed the reward offered in
1806 for the apprehension of HEMMING ! The rewards
offered were fifty guineas by the county Magistrates, and
one hundred guineas by the Home Secretary. This claim
of course cannot be complied with ; it would require some
casuistry to prove that the skeleton of a murderer is the
murderer himself. BURTON was HEMMING's brother-in•-law .

GREAT FIRE AT CH UDLEIGI-I.—NINE
Musics BURNT. —A fire broke out on Friday morning
about one o'clock, in WoodawAy-lane, where there is a
line of thatched houses ; the whole town was alarmed,
fearing a renewal of the calamity by that element by which
it was once destroyed. The danger has happily passed
over, but we regret to say that nine houses are destroyed,
and many persons have lost not only their furniture, but every
article of their wardrobe, some females being actually carried
from their beds. There is but one engine in the town,
and the men did their duty by it. How the fire originated
is doubtful, but it is said to have been caused by a man im-
prudently carrying a lighted candle in a stable.—Abridged
from the Devonshire Chronicle.
