rANATICISM IN DUBLIN.—We thought that on
Christmas Day, at least, all malignity and ill-will would be
suspended among men, and that even the festive season,
would extend tl)e influence of its holiness to the
'hearts of
infidels and fanatics—but we were mistaken ; there arc
some hearts too obdurate for peace or grace to dwell in—

to create any doubt of its being permanently maintained.
The trade is now in a healthy state, and the demand for
goods equal to the supply.—D.-rTyyshirc Courier.
