MAUNDER'S TREASURY OF KNOWLEDGE.
LolinoN, 1830.

This is indeed a 'Treasury of Knowledge, and
does infinite credit to the Editor's (Mr. Maun-
der) diligence, perseverance, and ingenuity.
We have first an English Grammar ; secondly,
an English Dictionary ; thirdly, a Gazetteer, or
Compendium of Geography ; fourthly, a Classical
Dictionary ; fifthly, A Law Dictionary ; sixthly,
a Collection of Scriptural Proper Names, ac-
cented for pronunciation ; seventhly, a brief
and pertinent Epitome Of Chronology and
History—the great and leading landmarks
are laid down with consummate skill and cor-
rectness; and lastly, the crowning merit of the
whole, an admirable Abstract of the Prin-
cipal Tax Acts, together with Interest Tables at
four and five per cent. When we say that all
this various, important, and practical information,
is disposed of within the limits of a thick but
portable and closely-printed duodecimo, yet that
nothing really valuable has been omitted, we
have said, we conceive, quite enough to con-
vince our readers that " The 'Treasury of
Knowledge" is one of the most serviceable and
admirably compiled digests in this, or, we may
add, in any language. 'The very mar-
gin is turned to account, and filled in every
page at top and bottom, and on either side, with
a choice collection of useful truisms, idioms,
and sententious observations of the most emi-
nent classic writers in the language. The cost
of the whole volume is but seven and sixpence !
The type, though small, is distinct and legible
even to old eyes ; the paper handsome, and the
tout-ensemble such as would do credit to any
Gentleman's Library. There cannot be the
slightest doubt that Mr. Maunder's own private
treasury will considerably benefit by the circula-
tion of this public one. It must have taken
him an age to have compiled such a work.

WATERFORD ELECTION.

THURSDAY, FHE. 25.

The rioting this day has been tremendous. The Bar-
ions, whose only hope seems to consist in delay are striv-
ing cunctando restituererein. Every objection they can
imagine is started against the voters. They objected to
ninety-five to-day, by which means they had a nominal
majority of one on the day's poll, which was announced
by the Sheriff, amidst thundering acclamations. Mr. Sheil
immediately stated that, when the objected votes weredia-
posed of by the Assessor, it would be found that Lord
George Beresford had a majority of fifty-four. Nothing
could exceed the fury of the mob at this announcement.
If they could have laid hands on their former idol, they
would have made minced meat of him. There are now
only 300 voters to be polled, and Barron must have two-
thirds of them to come up to his opponent.

FRIDAY.

Majority • --33
Majority ou the gross p01l
The system of objecting to votes has been carried to
such au extent on both sides to-day, that in the Sheriff's
return the voters are—for Beresford 27, for Barron five.
But even upon the Sheriff's return of this day, without re-
ference to the votes which will be allowed to-morrow,
Lord George has a clear majority of 78 ; and as there are
but 110 unpolled meu in the county, the game is up with
Lieutenant Barron.
