By the above it appears that the ten houses of the pre-
sent date, brew nearly four times as much as the ten of
1760 ; that the lowest brewer now brews more than five
times the quantity of the lowest of 1760; and that the
principal brewery of the present day alone, brews between
three-quarters and seven-eighths of the quantity of the en-
tire ten of 1760 ! Beer iu 1760 was threepence per
quart—in the year following it advanced one halfpenny
in price.

To those persons proceeding to and from
India, the following extract of a letter from Captain Ray,
of the Craigievar, which arrived at the Cape of Good
Hope, 26th May, from Algoa, will be found interesting :
--The following are the directions for a shoal eff Algoa
Bay, of which I observe no account is given in Hors-
burgh's directions, or any other I have seen, although
I have all up to the end of December, 1826 :—S. 48 deg.
five or six leagues E. per compass from Lady Dunkin's
monument (which stands over Fort Elizabeth), is a range
of dangerous breakers, whether a reef of rocks or sand I
could not ascertain; but decidedly a very dangerous shoal
lies above-mentioned, and in the track of all vessels from
India, or those who may be sailing to the eastward; its ex-
istence cannot be too soon made known.

UxoniousNEss.—The fondest hero of fond
romance, never so wildly loved the heroine as did the author
of " Woman," his wife, who by him was most commonly
designated "my angel !" A friend called on him one day
to enquire how his lady and the infant were after her con-
finement : Maturin met him at his house door, and re-
plied, " my angel is better, my cherub is in Heaven."
Mrs. M. being a fine singer, was one evening at a party
much importuned after supper to favour the company with
a song, and complied : at its conclusion,' the adoring hus-
band, who was seated at another table, rose, flew to her,
threw himself on his knees before her, and kissing her
hands, poured forth a profusion of ardent thanks, summing
them 'up with this exclamation : "my angel !
.you have
exceeded yourself to-night !" But if the impassioned son
of Erin so adored his better half, it is asserted that he was
by no means inattentive to the merits of his worse moiety.
In a Number of the " New Monthly Magazine " for
November, 1819, a memoir of him appeared, believed by
many, who well knew the man, to be written and in-
serted by himself. In Dublin he has frequently been
observed to stand and gaze intently upon portraits of
himself hung up in the print shops and exhibited at the
windows. In these likenesses the neck and shoulders
were very much exposed, for he fancied himself remark-
ably well made in those parts, although one of his pupils
told sue he was an ill-formed and insignificant looking
man altogether : his preaching and his pulpit action, I
have understood, were very fine. But I have wandered
from my subject, and must return. The next instance
that I shall notice of matrimonial adoration is in the
late enthusiastic Dr. E. D. Clarke, whom I knew very
well, as who did not that ever resided any Cale at Cam-
bridge? Ilia accomplished lady is a beautiful brunette,
her name Angelica, and to the warm-hearted traveller
she was indeed an angel, bright and presiding as the
home-divinity of Maturin : their domestic harmony and
felicity was frequently a topic of discourse in Alma Mater;
the good and wise admired it, the heartless turned it into
a jest. After all, is uxoriousness to be censured ? Let
thoseinterested in the query decide; lam not, but should
scarcely hesitate, despite the sneers of the world, to say,
No !—New Literary Gazette.
