" VSre Lave gazed. with, wonder, muted with
feelings of amusement, at the. length and strength
of The Dublin Journal's Trumpet its puffs
for self.; and yet spared it. in mercy, although
modestly decLired itself the best. Popft that t.ver
appeared, since the builifing of. Athens. We
thought that the relict ot architecture which Soy itt
left lrelaod, tor rite, aid of gentry blessed with
Ceps inteliect,—through overwe:piing of vanity or
other causes, than,. is needed in the routine of
common dealing, WOuld, ere long, have extende'd
its benign protection to.the modest Valitor from
the Highlands, and were therefore silent on.the
subject ;--but we now avail ourselves of
_the very
hottest and candid*iggestionof E SUN, given
as follows, to speak Out on this snbject„ and give
what we think .some of the Dublin Prin:s might
say, in the matter at issue

DUI3LIN NEWSPAPERS..,

The following article is extracted froth Thf
Dublin Journal of Tuesday last. How far it is
just or liberal in i!s estimate of the merits of, its
competitors we ate unable to, determine, but still
must admire the modesty of its conclusion. We
should like to see a similar estimate front all
the other Dublin Newspkipers, including their re-
spective opinions of
,The Dublin Journal. We
promise thsein :-that' they shall be- faithfully re-
corded in THRStIN if written with candOur and
good humour, which we presume tosrecommend
to all part ies.—(Star.)

" STATE orall E DUBLIN PRESS.

" There are twelve Newspapers published in
Dublin.—The Proprietors of seven.of those could
not write a senteace in_ their otsii Prints. Three
of the remaining five are edited by their Pro-
prietors, and the fourth is entrusted to two Gen-
tlemen of distinguished talents. Five of these
Papers are democratic—three are under the con-
troul of Government—one is insipid—two are
" milk and water," as Mr. O'Comiell would ex-
press it—aud the other is the Dublin Journal, of
which the Public may judge."—(Duldin Journal.)

" ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND THANKS.—This,
at least, we owe to the Readers of every week,
two hundred columns of. our Print, stuck against
Windows, so generous are we to the Public ; and
so ostrielistomached and well-fed are our Prin
ters, ‘vho actually sup on nothing less, every Sa-
turday, than PYE! We are seldom inclined to be
buntourons—indeed it is beneath us to be so—but
we cannot but chuckle when we see people lead-
ing, in succession, our lines, when they are de-
nounced by the Dublin Papers, by comparison.—
WE are the only Paper in Dublin . that Literature
owns, and, therefore, . fur THAT reason, (the
Print's truth as to its rate with other Journals out
of the question,) •we tell' hint to the bard, (hut
quotation's safer he says, 'C upon my soul a
lie '."--(Freeman's Journal.)

" HAROLD'S CROSS.—The insulted.'People of
our devoted land—a land dear• to nature and to
liberty—a land, green in the eye of beauty, and
grey in the eye of history—a land honoured by
the birth of our forensic Orators, and the- imme-
diate descendants of all the Sovereigns of g" our
own, our. native land"—have, we 17111511 to own
it, been insulted by a man declaring, that his
is the only !Hint of Ireland worthy value, wor-
thy respect.—Alas ! and are the days Of 0' Whool
laghan, and O'Rourke, and O'Callaghan and
O'Brallaghan, forgot, that a Suswiagh should
say that his is the only, print worthy respect,
while We live ! We leave arguMent to the hire-
lings, to put down this Impostor—but we fear, we
know, they will not do it. That task should be
ours, hat our sensibility disables us (ruin the exe-
cution of the pleasing task: • They ought, in jus-
tice to themselves, to fling back insu't on the libel-
ler : they can do it, with truth : tljs even we ad-
.
inn, in contemptuous justice to the vile tribe.,—
Our only object is

" Erin ma vourneen, Erin go Ural' !"

And to that alone, as a public Journal,-we,can
attend.—(Dublin Chronicle.)

"LITERATURE,THEATRICALS.—We feel so proud
of the value attached to our Columns: by the
tlemen-Traders of Dublin, that we could not, in
pity to ourselves, condescend to no: ice a very
stupid Paper of Tuesday last, in its gener,il attack
on the Press, but that it encroacheS on our cha-
racter for discrimination on TheatriCals. We are
there, as in every other respect, insulted, and for
this simple reason, protest against the Writer's
assertions being founded. The slightest insult
which we hear lieS heavy on us—and, therefore,
we have written the toregoing at a very late
hour, with the addition of this remark, that one
other Paper than the one in question, might make
the assertion with better foundation, that is Car-
rick's Post.

"To THUMB, AND THE PAPER OP THE PEO-
PLE.—So, Sir ! " 'not, little hero with a mighty
soul !'' thou wilt dare our rage. Poor ga'a!—
'what'pains 'he takes to curse himself ! We will
put you a few questions, and then " to breakfast
with what appetite you may." •
" Do you know Mr. Galardi—Yes, Did no you
say (and remember we neither know or 'wish to
know the Gentleman) other occupation's our's—did
you not say when you began your Silperintendence
of the rag yoii scratch mt, that although a loyal
Paper, it hail nothing to say with Gitfard ? Was
this consistency ? Was this judicious ? kl'hy not

spirit, it belongs to Ireland, and revolts at_ impu-
_deuce and folly, while it spurns upon 'them. Sir,

THIS HIBERNIAN JounNAs..---We have now

this—These Prints -would tell the troth, so far al

fcr them.. It is the most absurd and

beauties in that Part of the kingdom, incurred the

WIEVAN'CUOLY CATASTROPHE.—We have the
painful duty-to announce the following latnentejl
intelligence CHARLES JoSEPH HELLICAI3,
Demi of Magdalen:College, Oxford, eldest son of
Mr. Joseph He of this city, and Mr. GEORGE
GRESLEY 'Wurriftiti.cut, Student. of Hanoi Col-
lege, younge?t son of the late Mr. S. Whitchnteh,
during the present vacation were at Guernsey, and
%visiting to visit France, sailed on the afternoon Of
the 12th August for Cherburgh. Some few hours
afterwards the wind•changed, and became violent-,
and it. is believed the fury of the gale met Allele
vessel whilst. pa'ssing the Race of Alderwy, Etna
that they there perished.. No account.of Flit ves-
sel havingireached any French port, and mote
than a mont.h having elapsed without intelligencet
to any of the parties connected with the..sufferers
either in Guernsey .or England, the melancholy
inference is.too obvious.—Mr. Hellicar was in his
22d year ; at a very 'early age he had received the
highest classical honours of the University, and
had lately taken his degree of Master ot Arts : his
friend (a yearyounger) felt emulous of his exam-
ple, and gave marks of the higl:est promise—but
they are no. more. United, whilst living, in friend-
ship and study, they were no: divided in death.—
they have sunk in one common grave, leaving
their afflicted friends to mingle with their sorrow
the consoling recollection of their worth.—lt has'
thus pleased the Almighty, by a calamity most
:us-fill and affecting, to cut off these two much-
beloved and valuable young men ; but " ilis way
is in the sea, His path in the great waters; and
His footsteps are not known."---(Bristol Journal,
Sept. 13.)
