EDINEUROII.—Mrs. COUTTS has expressed the sense
entertained by her of the attention she has experienced
4t the hands of the LORD Pnovosr of Edinburgh, by
presenting his Lordship with .a handsome silver vase,
beating the following inscription :
" 30th August, 1824.
" To the Right Hon. Alexander Henderson, Lord Provost of
' Edinburgh, from his friend Harriet Courts, in kind remembrance of
her first visit to Edinburgh, the birth-place of Mr. Courts, son of
John Collis, Fag. Lord Provost of Edinburgh, from October,l742,
to October, 1744."

distinguishes her, has made the following donations to
the charities of Edinburgh:

atGlasgowi was laid with the usual ceremonies, by the

It is remarkable that the old Church, which had sunk
entirely into decay, was only built in 1720.
Amongst seven or eight resolutions agreed to at a
Catholic Meeting in the county of Wexford, is the fol-
lowing specimen of Irish hyperbole :
• 6th. Resolved—That that genuine Milesian, Daniel O'Connell,
Esq. is entitled to our thanks, for not only commencing that golden
Nedge, which we confidently hope, ere &mg, will break those chains by
wadi the people are se long Peered; but for his having on all occa-
xinns come forward as the' faithful champion" of Catholic Ireland.
