last few years he, it is said, presented for building purposes
the sum of 100,000/. The deceased was very wealthy. Mr.
Raphael was the only Roman Catholic 141.1'., save Mr. Moore,
of Mayo, who opposed the Jewish claims. Some years since
he was returned for the county of Carlow, in conjunction
with the late Mr. Vigors, but was unseated by petition. The
alleged misappropriation of the sum of 2,000). by the late Mr.
O'Connell, in connexion with the return, gave rise to a pro.
tracted inquiry. The deceased was of Armenian extraction.

matter is good. A sentiment, a tenderness, are commanded
by her which are as individual as they are elegant. We
should not soon come to an end were we to specify all the
delicate touches, and attractive pictures which place
Nathalie' high among books of its class." In extracting a
