DUBLIN REVIEW. No. 16.
Dolman, London. 1840.
The utmost we can say in praise of this Nun:herr:
the Dublin Review is, that it is not the worst we
have seen. Its principal defect consists in the length
and prolixity of the makirity of its articles ;
which are
besides, devoted to such subjects as not one reader
out of ten can be expected to take the slightest interest
in. Who—unless he be a zealous Catholic, all whose
thoughts and feelings centre in his Church—can
derive entertainment from the Essay entitled " Did
the Anglican Church reform herself?" which
is a dry, theological disquisition, and penned
not in the most tolerant spirit ? " Civil Sod
Religious Education in Belgium is a much better ar-
ticle—well-written, too, as regards style ; but the subject
is far from new, having already been discussed in man)"
of the Monthly and Quarterly Journals. Speaking of
the present state of Belgium, the Reviewer observes,
arid we believe with perfect truth, that " it is at this
moment the only Catholic country in Europe where
the true principles of civil and religious liberty are really
and successfully carried into practice. In Belgium, the
freedom of the press, liberty of conscience, and its grand
corollary, the liberty of public education, are not fictions
of the constitution, as in France; these things are stern
realities, and the celebrated promise of Louis Philippe,
La Charle sera desormais une verile, has found its ac-
complishment in that highly-favoured country. Sine°
the period of its glorious revolution, official prosecutions
against the public press are unknown." 'The notice of
" Fraser's Travels in Koordistan" does justice to the
good-humour, sagacity, and perseverance of one of the
most intelligent and enterprising of modern tra.
yellers. The extracts from Mr. Fraser's volumes
are numerous, and very judiciously selected.
The " Temperance Movement in Ireland "
speaks
of the great moral revolution now in progress
throughout that country, as one that is by no means °(
a transient or superficial character, but sure to be per-
manent, and to produce the most auspicious results.
" We have it upon evidence not to be disputed," ears
the Reviewer, '°that a very large number of persons
say at the least five hundred thousand, have scroP°
lously adhered to the pledge during a period of thres
months. Here is a fact not to be denied. That some
may relapse into their former bad habits, is bighlY
probable ; but we think that there are not a few
guarantees for the permanence of the change that bes
taken place. It is too soon yet to shape out all the political
consequences which must follow from the moral changes
now in progress through every part of Ireland. Teir:
perance must beget wealth ; wealth, self-respect, eei.
government, knowledge, power, tranquillity, .the ama f
gamatton of all parties into one people, die promotion of
Ireland from a province to a nation."
headed " Mores Catholic:" is another of those prolix'
wearisome essays, against which we have already en-
tered our protest. We may say the same of the ac-
count of the theological dispute between the " Rev'
Mr. Percaval and the Dublin Review," Some particu-
lars respecting the " Persecution in the East" cooled,

THE NAKED 'TROTH.—Recently a miller'S
man, employed near Marske, Yorkshire, was sent out with
cart-load of flour. On his return, aucl when near Coatham, he,
thought that a bathe in the sea would be very pleasant; and
he forthwith indulged himself accordingly, first depositing
his clothes within the cart. When he had concluded his ab'
lutions, he proceeded to the cart to dress; but the horse, not
recognizing its driver in the costume of an ancient Briton,
baulked him of his intention by " going a-head" at a tremen-
dous pace. The poor fellow pursued with all possible speed.
vociferating " Whoohoa! whoohna ;" and the faster he ran.
and the louder he shouted, the more furiously the animal
loped, fear having lent him the speed of a Bees'
wing." Through the town of Redcar, the brute rail
helter skelter, to the terror of the inhabitants, who,
they flocked to the windows at the noise, were astonished
to behold the barefaced and breechless miller in fell chase
of the runaway racer. The young ladies vanished at the
sight, and the old fishwives clapped their outspread finger'
before their eyes, exclaiming, "Oh ! the nasty fellow." The
horse, regardless of all remarks, kept Mr. Apollo Belvidere Oa
the run to the very door of the mill, where the second best
racer was permitted to re.urne his dress. He stated, in reply
to
the jokers who gathered sound him, that his chief annoyance
arose from perceiving .hat he must pass two damsels on the
sands; but he was obliged to push onward, and as he declined
to see them, he hoped they wcre equally considerate as to him.

REMARKABLE DISAPPEARANCE.—On Ss'
turday morning week, a young woman, in her eighteenth ye,
ssho resides with her parents in the village of Crookes, I
ab-
sconded from her home under very singular circumstances. s
appeared, that having some disagreement with her father,
to a book she was reading, she, on the above morning, before
the rest of the family were up, attired herself in her brother s
clothes, and decamped, first taking the precaution to cut Off het;
hair, to prevent the discovery of her sex.. It is said
that she had often expressed her intension of going to sea
in disguise, but her friends supposed that en those
occasions she vas merely talking in jest. Active search has
been made for her by her friends, both in Liverpool and 1-I`ll,lf
but hitherto without success. Her parents, we understand,
are persons of great respectability of character.—Since the
above was in type, we have heard that the fair runaway has
returned to Sheffield. It appears that a gentleman going to
Hull, was told of the above circumstances, and requested to
make inquiry respecting her. Accordingly, on his arrival
there, he did so, and found her fortunately at the very house he
usually stopped. They slept in the same room (though
not in the same bed, we presume), and in the morning, from
the description given him, he charged her with decamping
from
Sheffield, which she stoutly denied, and professed to be a native,
of Hull. He told her she must go back with him, but she post"
tively refused ; upon threatening to send for the police,low-
ever, she was more settled, and agreed to come back with big";
and they arrived in Sheffield on Sunday morning. She had
passed her brother several times in the streets of Hull (he hadgone to seek her), but would not make herself keown • and ha
actually engaged herself for a situation on board one of the ves-
self lying there.—Derbyshire Chronicle.
!The Cork Reporter informs us that the number
of emigrants from that port this year amounts to 4,870. The
average of the six preceding years amounted to. 4,934.
