IRISH i3ANkSt

NEW COLLEGE •AT HALIFAX.

.~ .~~ ~ .y

- .
The caianutous state of Ireland, owing to the stoji-
page and failure of thk different Banks, exceeds all
description. Two.other Banks, those of Kilkenny and
Waterford, have failed in the south of Ireland. The
latter !Link was held by Mr.WILLIAIit NEWPORT, the
yt2unger arid only brother of Sit'.l6ll:;:
Ms. NEWPORT died suddenly on the Jay before the
failure was announced, and his death was stated am
the reason for closing the Bank.
PAMIRS OF THE CLONMEL BA mE.—RIALL's Bank, -
perhaps the oldest in Ireland, having subsisted ninety-
five years, has suspended its payments. Thus, in the'
Space of one fortnight, eight Banks have failed, and
thus a circulating medium of more than a million
sterling has been removed. This statement is suffi- •
cient. to shew the distress and dismay which must
prevail in the province of Munster. It is also one of
the terrible, perhaps necessary, effects resulting flom
the general lithitation of the currency, which the late
Acts of Parliament rendered it imperative in the
Banks of England and Ireland_to adopt. It is quite
clear that the system cannat go on. But we feel no
disposition to anticipate ; yet we cannot hele regard-
ing the present crisis in our mercantile history as
perhaps the most awful that has occurred.--4Tukliri

HALIFAX, MAY 2.3.
At two o'clock this day the Earl of DAttiotrstn,
Captain-General and Governor-in-Chief of British
North America, attended by the Admiral, his Ma-
jesty's Council, the Staff, Naval and Military Officers,
and the principal people of the place, attended to
lay the first stone of the new Collei;e, to be erected
at the Not th end of the Grand Parade. The whole
of the Freemasons of Halifax went in grand pro-
cession. They formed in Lodges at their Hall, and
preceded by a. military band, and followed by •
another, they marched to the places prepared for
them on the building. His Lordship came on the
scaffolding at two o clock, the Grenadiers of the 62d
regiment being his guard of honour. Detachments
from each regiment kept the ground.
After a prayer by the Rev. Mr. TwtNING, Grand
Chaplain, Lord DALnousin addressed the Assembly
in a speech, of which I have not time to give an out-
line; but in it his Lordship mentioned, that the
building was intended as a College, upon the plan
&that of Edinburgh,. where all Students who pro-
fessed the Christian Religion were eligible for acll
mittance. Strangers residing here for a short time,
might also enjoy the benefits of the Institution, and
Gentlemen in the Army, the Navy, and the Military
Establishments. His Lordship concluded a most elo-
quent and animated address with his fervent wishes
for the welfare and prosperity of the undertaking.
A bottle with coins, and a tin case with parch-
ments, &c. were then severally deposited in the recess•
made for them, and the stone was lowered into its .
place, with all the requisite and due forms, under a
royal salute from Fort Charlotte; after which the
Rev. the Grand Chaplain closed the proceedings with
a prayer, and the whole assembled multitude gave
nine cheers. The Military and Masonic processions
then returned in the same order in which they came.
The day has been beautiful, and a „greater assem-
blage of people was never witnessed in Halifax. The
Countess of DAutoustz and her two sons; Mrs. Ad-
miral GRIFFITH and the. Mis es Wits" and most
of the fashionable Ladies here, witnessed the cere-
mony from a convenient scaffolding .prepared for .
them. Lord Da tnoustz purposes to leave Halifax
for Quebec, in his Majesty's ship NewcAs.rmi, on the • .
Ist of June, without.waiting for Sir JAMES KEMPT.

A Monument is to be erected in Dublin, by sub-
scription, to the memory of the late Mr. GRATTAN. .
