CALEDONIAN ASYLUM.

We gave an account of the ceremony,of lay-
ing the foundation stone of a building for the
Caledonian Asylum, which took place on the
17th May, 1827, by his Royal Highness the
Duke of Sussex,'who is the President of that
meritorious Institution. It has afforded us great
satisfaction to visit the new building, which has
been some time completed, and is now occupied
by the interesting objects of the charity. The
situation, which we alluded to at the time
we 'gave an account of the foundation, is
remarkably well -chosen, being elevated and
healthy. The building, which is a chaste Gre-
cian structure with a handsome portico, faces
the new road leading from Battle-bridge to Hol-
loway, and stands on the summit of a gentle emi-
nence, having a delightful view of the country
towards the Hampstead and Highgate bills.—
The Committee have judiciously secured two
acres of freehold ground, which 18 enclosed as a
play-ground for the inmates of the Establishment;
and the building, although not completed ac-
cording to the able plan of the Architect, is cal-
culated for the accommodation of one hundred
children, the funds of the Institution being
yet only adequate to support about fifty. But
when we recollect that this National Charity
has been established for the support and edu-
cation of the children of soldiers and sai-
lors, being natives of Scotland, who have
fallen in the service of their country, we cannot
doubt that support will be afforded it, not only
by those connected more intimately with that
country by birth or residence, but that the public
in general, who never fail to recognise and sup-
port a meritorious establishment, will contribute
to the extension of the benefits of this valuable
charity, for it eannot be denied that the objects
for which it has been established must be consi-
dered equally interesting to residents in this
country, for whom equally their lives have been
devoted. There is no charity with which we
are acquainted conducted upon sounder princi-
ples. The education is plain and unostentatious,
and the boys are bound apprentices to trades-
men, or become themselves soldiers or sailors.
The Committee of Management deserve great
credit for the economy with which every thing
is conducted, and the flourishing state of their
finances, notwithStanding the considerable out-
lay in purchasing the ground and erect-
ing the new building, which we consider as
a great ornament to the environs of the me-
tropolis, and creditable to their taste as a Na-
tional Establishment. The whole we under-
stand has cost about 10,000/., and the accommo-
dation is now ample for a much larger establish-
ment, which we hope soon to learn that they
have the means of supporting. Meantime it is
satisfactory to know that the same number as
heretofore will continue to be supported, and
that an additional number from time to time
will be admitted, as the funds of the Institution
increase. We ought not to omit to state, that
the expence of part of the ornamental portion of
the building has been defrayed out of the private
funds of the Directors,, without trenching at all
upon the resources of the charity, particularly we
may mention a well executed statue of St. An-
drew, which is appropriately placed on the pedi-
ment of the portico, presented by one of
the Directors, and we trust this patriotic
example will be followed by other individuals
who may be desirous of forwarding the objects
of so worthy an Institution.

SINGULAR ALMAN ACK.

" TYPOLITHOGRAPHY.--A remarkable specimen
of printing from types transferred to stone has lately
appeared. It is a publication by Ridgway, of a ta-
bular system of gardening printed at the typolitho-
graphic press, Howard-street, .on an imperial sheet.
One side, which may be called the front, is entitled
The Gardener's Remembrancer and Apiarian's
Monthly Calendar, consists of instructions for the
management of bees, gardens, green-houses, hot-
houses, &c. during each month of the year. The
months are arranged circularly around a figure of
the sun in the centre. The reverse of the sheet,
which is divided into two tables under the titles
of " The Gardener's Vegetable Seed Calendar,"
and " The Gardener's Fruit Calendar," con-
tains directions for the cultivation of the kitchen
and fruit garden, ingrafting, &c. These tables we
understand, are drawn up by a gentleman of Suf-
folk, who has had much experience in gardening;
but independently of their use, the work presents an
interesting example of the manner in which typoli-
thography may be applied, and the progress which
the art has made. The impression of the types is
as clear and distinct as in the finer descriptions of
letter-press printing. It is one of the advantages of
typolithography, that any embellishments or graphic
illustrations may be embodied in the letter-press;
but in this instance embellishment has bee► very
sparingly introduced. The ground on which the
types of the titles are placed has a novel and striking
effect, and something of the kind, we think, might be
advantageously employed in the ornamental title-
pages of books."
[A copy of the above has been sent to us, and as
we cordially agree in all that our contemporary has
said upon its merits, we have extracted the article
entire. It occurs, to us at the same time, that
the work would be rendered still more
useful if printed upon two sheets instead
, of one as affording readier and more convenient re-
ference. The only way in which it can be in-
spected at present with advantage is by having it
framed without a bark, by which plan the paper will
be preserved clean. But we think it might be still
further improved by being adapted to fold in the
middle. However, the work as it is, is extremely
curious, and singularly illustrative of the progress
which the lithographic art has made under the en-
terprising hand of genius. It deserves and must
receive encouragement.—En. SUN.]

IRELAND.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT AT CLONMEL.)

CLONMEL, CCT. 12.

In my last communication I gave you a brief ac-
count of the meeting of peace-makers which had
taken place in Clogheen. Scarcely were the vast
multitude which assembled on that occasion per-
mitted to return to their homes, when the Bruns-
wiekers commenced their operations, and on the
next day warrants were issued, under the sign ma-
nual of the Earl of Kingston, for the apprehension
of those persons who bad taken the command of the
different parties, as well as for others who had made
themselves conspicuous by their officiousness on the
occasion. With respect to all those who have been
arrested, bail has been taken for their appearance at
our next Assizes. One man of the name of Thorn-
hill, who had also been arrested, could not be pre-
vailed on to give bail, though pressed to do so—a
tinker and a sweep, I understand, would be consi-
dered sufficient security—yet this man, feeling that
an overstretch of magisterial power has been resorted
to, prefers remaining in the gaoler's holy keeping
until the next Assizes. The gentlemen of the long
robe will be no losers by tliose meetings, as act►ons
will be grounded on the committals. I send you a
copy of the Tipperary Free Press, and, permit me
to remark, that the people of Tipperary owe much
to the respectable proprietors, as well as to the
editor of that journal, for it has not only done much
good, but it has prevented much evil, in this county.
It is the scourge of the tyrant—the punisher of the
delinquent Magistrate—and the exposer of those
place-hunting peculators who would batten on the
ruins of their country. We have now head-quarters
for the 76th regiment, and on Sunday last a squa-
don of the 7th Hussars, with their three inches of
whiskers to frighten us, arrived here from Dublin ;
they were accompanied by a half troop of artillery
and two pieces of connon. They cut a most for-
midable appearance coming into the town—the can-
nons were regularly mounted, matches and sponges
in readiness—the Hussars with their'carbines loaded
—really they thought they would not get time to
dismount, when they'would be ordered to fire on
O'Connell's pikemen. The first division of the 21st
Regiment arrived here yesterday, the grand division
comes in on Monday, and I am informed we are to
have a full dozen of regiments quartered through
the county. Thus you see, Sir, we have reason to
laugh at the credulity of our Government, for allow-
ing themselves to be duped by incendiaries or Bruns-
wickers. The soldiers themselves wonder at the
peaceable demeanour and conduct of the people, and
feel now quite happy in being sent down here,
though they swore hard against us last Sunday ; but
they say that was owing to the forced march they
had, as they came on that day (Sunday) from Callan,
a distance of 24 Irish miles. Plenty of potatoes at
a moderate price, and nothing to do--I think will
make their quarters here pleasing enough to them
during the winter and spring. I have trespassed too
much ; I shall conclude with a dialogue which oc-
curred in the street here yesterday. Pat asked his
friend " what the did they want sending such
men here (meaning those whiskered Hussars) ?
Why, you ape, to put down O'Connell's police and
keep those mummers from meeting. Why, then, is
it not enough that the Association put them down
before ?—Faith, I believe so. It must be seen that
they came this way to make a short cut to the Dar-
danelles to relieve the blockheads there." I shall
give you one fact which speaks volumes. It is now
two months since our assizes terminated, and our
gaol has only three lodgers at present, for crimes
committed since the assizes, two of which are
women pickpockets, the other, Thornhill, the Libe-
rator. Let every Englishman read this, and say if
Tipperary is in a state of rebellion, or that an aug-
mentation of police, as well as military, is wanted ?

The consecration of the Franciscan Abbey of this
town took place this day. The Roman Catholic
Bishop of Limerick, Dr. Ryan, with a number of
other elergynien, attended a solemn high mass, cele-
brated on the occasion, and a most impressive ser-
mon was delivered by Dean INl‘Namara of Limerick.
The County Tipperary Liberal Club held their
first meeting in Cashel on Thursday last.

(EXTRACT OF A, LEUER FROM OUR DUBLIN CORRE-
SPONDENT.)

The north of Ireland is still in a very dangerous
state. The Catholics, who had formerly been dis-
pirited, because unacquainted with their resources
and determination, have, since their assemblage with
Mr. Lawless, at Ballibay, discovered their own
strength. This consciousness renders it more diffi-
cult to prevent their resisting the aggressions of the
Orangemen; and the Orangemen, exasperated at
the unaccustomed spirit evinced, are more desirous
than ever to force matters to a bloody crisis. Judge,
then, the state of the peaceable and moderate inha•
bitants.
