FABRICATIONS.—We saw an article lately
copied into the SUN from the Dublin Warder,
stating that three or four hundred persons had
surrounded a woman in Dublin whom they sus-
pected of being a witch—treated her barbarously,
until she was rescued by the police and brought
to the protection of the Henry-street Police
Office. We have made inquiries upon the sub-
ject, and can assure our respected cotemporary
that the whole thing is a fabrication, evidently
manufactured by the Dublin paper to lower the
character of the country. Our London cotem-
porary will, we trust, in future receive with dis-
trust all articles of intelligence from that or similar
papers in this misguided country—papers which
live upon faction and falsehood ; and which, in
the name of religion, are at perpetual war with
its truth and charities.—Dublin Patriot.
COWES, JULY 7.—We have to notice an
omission which has accidentally been made in
the Royal Yacht Club advertisement, of the
fore topsail in the sails enumerated for
schooners in the different matches. We have
the pleasure to announce the arrival of the Mar-
quis and Marchioness of Donegal yesterday.
The 'Earl of Belfast, who is acting as Commo-
dore during the absence of Lord Yarborough,
complimented his Noble Father with a salute
from the Therese. The time an attention
which Lord Belfast devotes to the service of the
Club, and the liberality with which he supports
the dignity of the Commodoreship, must, we
think, be very gratifying to the members ; and
as it has been proposed to appoint a second
Commodore, and his Lordship's leisure adds to
his qualifications for the purpose, we have no
doubt he will be permanently established. On
the 30th instant, a meeting of the members will
take place at their Club House, when seven new
members and eleven honorary members are to be
ballotted for. Among the proposed members is
the Duke of Buckingham and other Noblemen,
and the rapid increase of the Club List is the
surest index of the great attractions it possesses.

Meeting was held at the Town Hall, Carlisle,
pursuant to requisition, " for the purpose of co-
operating with. the County of Northumberland,
in effecting the formation of a Rail-road between
the city of Carlisle and Newcastle-upon-Tyne.
The Meeting was numerous and respectable.--

THE CITY OF THE DEAD.-There is, to
the north of Memphis, a solitary lake (which, at
this season of the year, mingles with the rest of
the waters) upon whose shores stands the Ne-
cropolis, or City of the Dead—a place of melan-
choly grandeur, covered over with shrines and
Pyramus,
where many a kingly head, proud even
in death, has for ages awaited the resurrection of
its glories. Through a range of sepulchral
gross
underneath, the humbler denizens of the tomb
are deposited,—looking out on each successive
generation that visits them, with the same face
and features they wore centuries ago. Every
plant and tree, that is consecrated to death, from
the asphodel-flower to the mystic plantain, lektds
its sweetness or shadow to this place of tombs ;
and the only noise that disturbs its eternal calm,
is the low humming sound of the priests a pra•-er

in such thoughts, I rowed OP, scarce knowing
whither I went, till, startled by finding myself
within the shadow of the City of the Dead, I
looked up and saw, rising in succession before
me, pyramid beyond pyramid, each towering
more loftily than the other,—while all were out-
topped in grandeur by one, upon whose summit
the moon seemed to rest, as on a pedestal.
Drawing near to the shore, which was sufficiently
elevated to raise this city of monuments above
the level of the inundation, I lifted my oar, and
let the boat rock idly on the water, while Inv
thoughts, left equally without direction, fluctuat-
ed as idly. How various and vague were the
dreams that then passed through my mind—that

and light, into which I had seen her vanish, was
her only dwelling. Sometimes, animated with
passion, and kindling into a creature of earth,
she seemed to lean towards me with looks of
tenderness, which it were worth worlds, but for
one instant, to inspire ; and again—as the dark
fancies, that ever haunted me, recurred—l saw
her cold, parched, and blackening, amid the gloom
of those eternal sepulchres before me !"—Moore's
Epicurean.
