STATE OF THE'COUXTRY.
We are sorry to see that attain and other deeds of
that description are still commonly committed in'lre.
land. The DuUin joibnal of Friday evening. April •
4th, contains two columns of outrages, although none
of them are of a very atrocious character.

At Cork, Jeremiah Sheehan has been sentenced to •
transportation for life for attacking the house of
H. M. FR A N Ks, Esq. and administering unlau ful oaths.
At the same place, on March 31st, Cornelius Began
was tried fur murder and burglary. The only ques-
tion of doubt' was as to the identity of the ptisoner ;
and it was very temarkable, that the Jury found the
prisoner guilty of the burglary and acquitted him of
the murder. The verdict was so contrary to consmuu
sense, that the Judge recommended the 4ury to Iv-
consider it, when they acquitted tie prisoner.

the Meeting in a most eloquent speech,, in the course
of which, he not only took a review of the great po-
litical events of the last ten years, bn: touched also,
at some lengah, on the present unsettled state of .Eu-
rope, and introduced some masterly .arguments
against the present rage for wholesale Reform. .The

LITERATURE.

Tat rsooo of Taossur, Tie Grai es Proviorce, and other
Poems." By Barry Cornwall. Bvo. London, 1823.
Among the Poets of the present day, Mr. Proctor
(or rather Barry Cornwall,
_for such is the poetlial
name by which he is known), holds a distinguished
rank ; and although he has written perhaps too much
for his fame, and critics differ as to the eztent of his
talents,' yet all allow that his poems possess many
beauties,. and are often distinguished by vigorous de-
scriptions, and scones of exquisite tenderness. Of all
his poems, there are none perhaps equal to those in the
volume before us. They display more of his peculiar
excellencies of style and diction, and fewer of hisfaults,
Plan any of his preceding poems, while the subjects
themselves are more generally interesting. The prin-,
ciral poem, The Flood of Thessaly," contains a
most animated and powerful description of that
wreck o( worlds." recorded in mythological fable.
The Girl of Primate," has rather been suggested
by, than founded on the story of a girl being ena-
snowed of the Apollo Belvidere in the Louvre, an
Illusion which proved fatal to he:. This, as well as
the miscellaneous poems, all exhibit great poetical
genius.

Orissa Talcs; or, The Mocks of LeadenhalL By the Author
of The Lollard., The Mystery, Cakborpe, &c..', Vols.
The *tabor of these successful novels; most of them
historical, may be excused for so soon appearing again
before the Public, and delineating "Other Times" with
the same accuracy and force that marked his loaner
productions. The novel now before•us, relates to the
time of Henry VIII. and records many of the events,
of that monarch's reign, with some local descriptions
of the manners of the age. But while the incidents.;
are real, the characters are nearly 11 Imaginary, and
the author, thus emancipated from the rertraigts.of.
history and biography, has more ,seope -for-his
Lion. The story of the novel is well told and interest-,
ing, and displays an intimate knowledge of huinanl
character, as well us of the peculiarities of " forgi*
ten generitions," which he has made "live again."
