As Mr. Kt LE has been Condemned by certain
fastidiotis Critids, who ate not very conversant with •
the text of SHAASPEARE, or the works of his con-
t4uporatieS,, for his pronounciation of aciles, as a
dissyllabl4; the. following story, whith is given in a ,
respeaable quarter; may be acceptable to
.our
Iteaders :—Several years ago a Gentleman dined
kith the late Bishop of LIMERICk, then Bishop of
iiar.,l Loa, at his Falace .at the latter place. The
company consisted of about . a dozen, persons, and
after dinner the conversation turned upon the pro.;
foundation of this very word. One of the visitors,
;Very young man, having 'pronounced it "
the Bishop, with all that suavity of manners 'for
he -was remarkable, assured him, that
witches" was the proper mode of pronotmeing the
Word, He added, that he happened once to be in
;9mpany with the late Earl Of CHEM:HYMN in
London, when a question being put respe&ing the
health of a friendy a yonet. Gentleman present, an-
LWered, that he was full of " aiks" and pains.
ig Lordship said, that the Earl of CHESTERFIELD
condemned this otonoianciatipti in the most unqua..
tified terms, and requested the young dentleman to
Cali it « aitches" hi futtlre. . Our Readers will tettil-
Lea that the Bishop-of LIbIERIcx was the celebrated
Dean of DERRY, mentioned in GoLnsmrrit's Haunch
Venison, the intimate friend and companion of
',Qat Poet, of Boaku, and other great literary cha-
i-aCters of that day. We may fairly presume that
the Word must, in the course of their intimacy, have
curred in conversation ; and that the prOnotmcia.
ton 01 " audio" had ieir consent ; or that they
were not able to produce any arguntent to overturn
tta in the Bishop's opinion. At all events, Mr.
-!%•tiatut.z, cannot be fairly accused of affeCtation or
'fib:nation in a case sanctioned by the authority

MAD Dous.—From the circumstance of the
441._ MAYOR and Magistrates having issued notices,
7oining the inhabitants to keep their dogs within
doors, and the number of instances we have heard
tilL dogs being mad, and the alarming sensations
occasioned, we think it proper, for thetrine good, to call the attention of Collectors and
;',",!'veyors of Taxes to this subje& of alarm, *to be
``"l'ent in observing that proper returns, be made
Inkier this bead, in the list of Assessed Taxes. It is
,notorious that a number of poor persons, scarcely
in:o support themselves, are in the habit of keep-
to_y_ne or more dogs; and it is to be observed, that,
thne__ are most likely to be bit by other dogs, from
incal.acity of the owners to keep them, and their
vonsentt
..-1 eta liability by being obliged to range abput,
Qh of food. * t .
