SUAKSPEARE.—An ancient miniature has re-
cently been discovered which seems to evince
marks of being a genuine portrait of our immortal
Bard. It has received the decided approbation of
the venerable President of the Royal Academy,
and of most of the higher Members, as a work of
art. It has, at least, as strong pretensions to
be considered as a genuine portrait as any other
that has hitherto been seen, except indeed the
celebrated CHANDOS oil•paintirtg, which, has an
authentic tradition attached to it. The valuable
gem which has thus expectedly been brought for-
ward belongs to Sir JAMES BLAND BURGESS, who,
being himself a Poet, must, of course, consider
it as no ordinary treasure.

SHOOTING MATCH.—A match for one hundred
guineas, of a novel nature, took place on Tuusday,
between Capt. GRANT,.OI Heston, near Hounslow,
and Jos/As Loao, a keeper. The match was who
should kill most head of game in eight hours,
within fen miles of ground. The sportsmen
starred in contrary directions ; the Captain taking
a direction from Burnham, Bucks, towards High
Wyc,,mb. LONG crossed the river, and shot To-
wards Henley-upon-Thames. The Captain bag-
ged nine brace of birds, and three hares ; and
LONG six brace and a halt, and four hares, by
which he lost the match.

GRAND MASONIC DINNER.—The Masonic en-
tertainment which took place last week in Dublin,
in celebration of the Birth-day of the Grand
Master, collected a very respectable pottion of
the Freemason Fraternity. Morrisson had pre-
pared a dinner in his best style, wkich had the
accompaniment of excellent wines, and in great
variety. The Hon. Brother ANNESLEY filled the
Chair ; and, after the usual ceremonial waste,
gave '' The health of the Duke of Leinster," ap-
propriately introduced, which was received with
acclamation, and toasted with all due honour,
and every respect that the most cordial. feeling
could confer upon it. His Grace made his ac-
knowledgments tar the distinction for which he
had been selected, in a manner equally apt and
expressive, and was loudly cheered. In the course
of the evening, among the toasts which the oc-
casion suLtgested, the health of the Duke of Sus-
sex, Grand Master of the English Fraternity of
Freemasons, was drank in a manner very compli-
mentary to the zealous devotion with which his
Royal Hlghnuss- has attended to the general inte-
rests of the Craft. The health of the Duchess of
Leinster, given by the Chair, and introduced by
an allusion to the Masonic connection, was re-
ceived with enthusiastic feeling. The applause
lasted for several minutes. The Duke offered his
thanks for this favour, in language which ,;hewed
how sensibly he felt it. About 12 o'clock his
Grace retired ; .but the majority of the meeting
remained until an advanced hour in the morning.
During the night, several songs and glees, by
Messrs. Jager, Smith, Weyinan, Ste. delighted
the company.

The Quay and Mall of Waterford have been
lighted with gas during the last four nights.—
This plan has long been looked to with great
anxiety, and its execution has gratified the utmost
expectations which were indulged, while its conti-
nuation, and extension through all the streets of the
city, and its admission into the shops, promise to
be attended with the most beneficial•consetlueu-
ces. The Quay and Mall may be regarded as ex-
hibiting at night an entirely. new scene, being so
finely illuminated, that the inhabitants car► recog-
nise each other almost as easily as noon-nay. The
works were constructed by Messrs. Graham, of
this city. It is the boast of IVaterford to have
so early adopted this measure, and it i. her pe-
culiar boast to have had it so ably and so fully
accomplished by those who are numbered among
her fellow-citizens.--((Waterford Chronicle)
