EARLY RISING.—The difference between rising
every morning at Six and at Eight, in the course
of 40 years, supposing a man retired tO rest at
the same time, amounts to 20,200 hours, or three
years one hundred and twenty-one days and sixteen
hours., which will afford 8 hours a day for exactly
10 years ;• so that it is the same as if 10 years of
life were added, in which we could command eight
hours every day for the cultivation of our minds,
or the dispatch of business.
HONESTY IN A HACKNEY COACHMAN.--A Lady
and Gentleman left in a Haekney7chariot two very
valuable gold musical snuff-boxes. The coachman.
soon after took up a gentleman, who throwing in
his great coat first, di,l not perceive the boxes
laying on the rat. Hiving observed them after
setting down the gentleman, the coachmAn rats
after-him to restore then, to their proper owner,
as he thought, but who told. him of his mistake.
Having taken up another party, he was driving ill
great haste, When lie overtook his first fare, and,
drawing up, held up his hands overjoyed at the
opportunity of restoring the property to the right
owner. It need scarcely be added, that lie was
rewarded for his honesty ; and we feel it our dui
to mention liis name, which is LAMB, and his
number 1120.

HORRIBLE OUTRAGB.77-An article dated Clon-
mel the 3d instant,, says :—Sunday right an
attack was made on an industricius farmer
named Coffee, who fires near Fox-hall, by
a considerable nulnher of nightly marauders,
with intent to force away his daughter, and
compel her' to unite herself to a man named Col-
lins. Her father obtained private. information of
the intended attack, and had some of his friends,.
well armed, who permited them ba break in the
door, when they fired on them, by which one
maxi, named Skeahan, from near Doonas, was
killed, and several wounded, as blood was- traced
to a considerable distance—Skeahan was brother-
in-law to- Collins. This is the second attack
which has' taken place on the same roan lately.
Some time back Collins carried off his daughter,
and kept her several days ; but Coffee's friends
prevailed on Collins, or rather dreading the
close pursuit which Coffee and hiS friends held up, .
allowed her to return, imagining by that means to
effect a reconciliation, but Coffee was not to be
frightened into an alliance with such a character:7
the above was the consequence. Collins was on
-Monday morning in the neighbourhood of Castle.
Connell, in a state of madness, armed With a
mnsket... The body
.of Sheehan lies at the guard-
house of Newport.
Ma. BRAM:IEN'S TRAVELS.--It has been justly
observed that the " Letters of a Prussian.TraVel-

such extent-, that even the most cursory remarks
oracle int different parts of it will- be found to ac-
cumulate to a stock of very interesting infortna-
