There are 135 Irish Peers married, 27 widowers,
and 45 bachelors. Of the 162 married and widowers,
38, are without children; and the remaining 134
have now living 278 sons, and 256 daughters.
Four Irish Peers are Knights of the\Garter, 10 are
of the Bath, and 18 of St. Patrick.

and Monsieur Cesar Moreau has been unable to
trace, with accuracy, the genealogies of 26 Peers;
they are therefore omitted. The ancestors of 48
Irish Peers were foreigners.
The number of Catholic Peers are-8 for Ireland,
viz.-2 Earls, 4 Viscounts, and 2 Barons. In Scot-
land only 2 Earls, and in England 8, viz.-1 Duke,
1 Earl, and 6 Barons. The number of Irish Baronets
is 91, among them 5 only are Catholics.

Madame Glossop Fcron, the celebrated
Prima Donna of Italy, arrived in town late last night.
Mr. Lasnea, we • are given to understand, was the bearer
of an invitation to the above lady, from Mr. C. Kemble,
and we hope l!efore long to congratulate the management
of Covent-Garden, as well as the public at large, in hav-
ing so strong an addition to their establishment.
QUEBEC, SEPT. I.—Our grain crops in this
country will turn out very indifferently. The harvest, it
ia true, at one time bid fair to be very abundant, but cold,
ungenial weather and heavy rains have sadly disappointed
the hopes of the farmer. Under these cilgunistances it is
obvious that but little corn will be sent from hence. Wheat
is now 6s. per bushel, at which currency several large con-
tracts have been made.

A STRIKINOMETHOD OV MAKING LOVE.—
At the Penrith Sessions, a man named Slack was charged
with having forcibly obtruded himself into the bed-room of
a drew-maker named Sanderson, and "torn her shift,
scratched her face, and beaten her black and blue."—
Guilty—Judgment deferred.
We am requested by a considerable manufac-
turer in this neighbourhood to caution merchants and
others,to against purchasing a kind of refuse cloth, generally
used be died black, from persons unknown to them, as a
great deal of such sloth is made from embezzled wool and
yarn, and sold at prices which can only be afforded by those
who come dishonestly by their materials,--Leeds Mercury.
