Griffi:hs said that they had been drihking toge Vaver,
when Grattan sail that he had some pictures to dis-
pose of, and he asked him to come and assist him. to
carry them to the pawnbroker's. Griffiths agreed, and
Grattan took him to Mrs. Marson's house, which., he
e.itcred, opening the street•door with a latch key, ond
conducted his companion to the picture-room with the
air of a person who was walking into his own aparimis nt.

quite satisfied tLat the property belonged to him.
Two respectable harness-makers gave this prise, ier
an excellent chartcter, and the jury acquitted him ,and
found Grattan guilty.

ment, but the CHAIRMAN told Griffith that in c( use-
quence of the character he had received, he left:

PROJECTED PIER AT QUEENSTOWN, CORK Mat'
BOUR.—The inhabitants of Queenstown, late Cove, are
most anxious for the expected visit of the Lords of the
Admiralty at their port. It is supposed that arrange'
meats will now be speedily made for at once commencing
the long talked of pier at Queenstown, to the erection of
which their Lordships are known to be favourable. The
miserable landing-place where the general traffic of the
town has been for years conducted would be a disgrace
to the meanest fishing village; how much more so the
shores of a town which looks over at the strongly.bui%
handsome storehouse and quays of Haulbowline Island'
only a few hundred yards distant. These works were
raised with massive stone from the ancient CarrigacrureP
quarries, which have been from time to time, employed je
all the large public and private works in the neighbour;
hood of Cork, and are far from being exhausted. Situated
about two miles (Irish) from R ;stellan quay, in the bay'
and only three miles water-carriage from Queenstown, e
free and continuous supply of this admirable limeLtone
might be depend.Al upon, and a pier speedily raised'
The Government will, vie are sure, be anxious to carry
on the work with the greatest celerity, consistent witb.
strtngth and security. In this they will be readily met
by the inhabitants of the town and the landed proprietors
around. To the Lords of the Admiralty Queenstown
esp( cially looks for support in this matter; for the pier_
will be hardly greater convenience to the town than w
the men-of-war in the harbour.
Except the parsimonious, we are all extravagant it,:
lit:le folks; the sum spent on an inkstand, a tulip-root,
a Lied-cage, a dog. collar, an amber-headed
would 'new thatch the triple cott?ge at our garden-gate,
and fortify three large families against the rheunttouh'
—Eliza Cook's Journal.

Liherto borne a very respectable character. The s.llaer
had held st-lwal parish ofliee3.

The CommoN SERGEANT havirg summed up, the 'rosy
found them all Not guilty.
There were other• indictmcnts against the two Wat vins
for being concerned in feloniously receiving other ,q OLP,
titics of bricks.

Mrs. Eliza Matson, of Great Queen street, Lincoins /an-
