BANK NOTES.

Wk.XFoRD, SEPT. 24.—The Governors and
Company of the Bank of Ireland have judiciously
dispatched agents through the kingdom, for the
purpose of distributing facsimiles of a Bank of
Ireland Note, with directions to detect forged
notes. One of the Gentlemen who has been
through this country called at our Office au Mon-

day, and left a _copy of the above. By paying
attention to the rules there pointed out no mis-
take can occur, as the difference between the ge-
nuine and forged note is very apparent.—No
ex-
pence or exertion on the part of the Bank is
wanted to prevent the circulation of fraudulent
paper.—A few months ago one of its agents at-
tended the fairs in this county, and examined the
notes fur the country people. The present me-
thod, we have no doubt, will be equally benefi-
cial to the community.
The following► are the rules to which we have
above alluded :

The Notes of the Bank of Ireland, of Five Pounds and
inkier, may easily be distinguished from the forgeries now in
circulation, by observing—

1. 'Die general perfection which prevails in the executiot
of every part o► the Note.

2. 'l't►r.extreme regularity and identity of character pre.
railing throughout every part of the border; the scrolls ol
which it is composed being without the least perceptible ra•
riation.

3. The small black worm lines inserted on the white
grounds in the scrolls of the border, which are, asto form,
absolute fac similes of each other.

4. The edging round the suru, of which the distinguishing
characteristics are, extreme preckion, unifoi wily, and perfect
execution.

5. In the Vignette—the correct delineation of the crown,
rihhon, and female tigule. and the distinct tormation of the
words " Bank. of Ireland," in black, and the Latin motto in
%%line letters, which are inserted in the a ibbon.—(Werjord
Herald.)

ExtixtmoN.—Saturday se'nnight,./ohn Moores,
convicted at Chester Assizes of a burglary, under-
went the dreadful sentence of the law, on the
drop in front of the House of Correction in that
city. Moores was only in his 22d year. Ott the
drop he stood firm and upright ; and, after the
rope was adjusted, addressed the spectators
to this effect :—" My friends, you are come to
see a man die ; I would advise you to take
.warning by we. Ihe first beginning of my
ruin was Sabbath-breaking—it led me into bad
company, and front bad company to robbing gar-
deus and orchards—and front gardens aad orchards
to house-breaking, and that has brought me to this
place. 1 ant going to die a sacrifice to Congleton
Many of you here are young, and I in an especial
Wanner warn you to beware of Sabbath-breaking.
It is a very awful thing to die in this public man-
lier, but 1 am not afraid of death ; 1 believe the
Lord will have mercy on my soul. I have broken
the laws of God and man, and I deserve to die. I
ant guilty of the crime for which I atu going to
suffer, but am innocent of being ever connected
with any gang. I again warn you to beware of After some further time spent
in prayer, itt which he was joined by Mr. Taylor,
one of the Ministers of St. John-street Chapel,
he gave the fatal signal. His renyins were buried
on Monday waning in the usual place.

POETRY.

EXTEMPORE ;
fr'rillen On hearing the Nis,ves Asui sing ald perform one

li /''l.

liow sweet to the minstrel the song's thrihing sound
From the fresh lips of innocence fervently 'mitred,
While the spirit of music breathes magic around,
And the heart drinks each note that is swept from the
chord ;
And such is the magic, and such the delight
That you woke into being, sweet Sisters ! to-night.

Oh ! artless and pure, as the warbling first heard
In the clear air at day-break, your cadences roll ;
And enchanting intl soft as the strains of the bird,
In memory their echoes shall long haunt my soul,
As they float like the song of the lark to that Heaven,
By which all their magic and sweetness were given.
