Amongst the imports of the present week we are
pleased to observe a large quantity, of the best Eng-
lish cloathing wool, nearly equal to-any Spanish of
the finest quality, and, perhaps, equally good as
that of the second.- This is the first British super-
fine wool imported into this kingdom since the
Union of Legislatures took place, and according to
one of the articles then agreed on, it was to be en-
tered duty free. -
We have also obtained an entry of
,superfine
Spanish wool, and other valuable prime materials,
collaterally from some of the Ports of England, but
in the first instance chiefly from Spain, and its
foreign possessions.

MAYNOOTH, OCT. IS.

LAST night this town was most splendidly illu-
minated for the Ratification of the Preliminaries of
Peace. The Duke of LE I NST E R'S country residence
appeared most brilliant, the lights being disposed
with great taste: five pitch barrels were given by
his Grace to make bonfires, the blaze of which
could he seen for many miles off, which operated as
an example all over the adjacent country.
