The new Series of " Tales by the O'Hara Family," are
chicly illustrative, we understand, of the effect produced on dif-
ferent classes of Society in Ireland, by the perpetual jarring of the
Catholic and Protestant ltelighns. The principal tale" The Now-
lans," which is of a tragical cast, de:ails the fatal story of a young
Roman Catholic Priest, who had offended some of the severe and
peculiar laws of his faith; it includes also a number of singular
sketches of Irish scenes and Irish characters

THE VETERAN O'KEEFFE.—Notwithstanainr; his 'act.
vanced age and his perfect blindness, O'Kerffe is in full possessionsoe
his mental and bodily faculties, and the peculiar vivacity-which has
distinguished him through life, and accordingly his " Recollections,"
just publithed, will he found to abound with original anecdotes and
entertaining stories. The venerable and esteemed Author thus
speaks of his present volumes and of himself : "'lO use a familiar
illustration, I did not pitch my whole sack of corn at owe, as it
the custom in the Dublin Market-house; but, after the Euglisit
mode, I sent a sample for inspection by the conveyance of the
New Monthly Magazine. That was only my little canvas big;
but the sample having been looked upon by the Public with favour,
I now bring my entire sack to market Should any plea be thoiOu
necessary for my now stepping out in this manner, be it considtre,l,
that the world, sixty or seventy years ago, was not quite it is
at present ; and, therefore, some little account of it by one whu w..s
then making his way through the busy crowd may, perhaps, be
perused with curiosity."—Preface.
GRAHAM STEAM PACKET.—We are happy to state,
from inquiries made, that the whole of the persons meo.
tinned in our last week's Paper as having beets severely
injured, are likely to recover; indeed, with one or two
exceptions, they are pronounced out of danger. It it,
however, our painful duty to add another to the list of
sufferers, in the person of Thomas Dutchett, a black-
smith, who left Louth by the coach that morning, was
seen by several persons on board the Graham, and has
never since been heard of. He lived in Osborne street,
in this town, and has left a wife and two children.—
Considerable uncertainty prevails respecting the fate of
two Ladies in tiding habits. They were sees, we a:e
tirld, to go on board the Graham, at Grimsby, and, as
tar as we can ascertain, no person recollects their having
quitted the vessel.—llull Advertiser.
Mr. E. G. WAKEfIELD.—Mr. E. G. Wakefield, wlin
is on a visit to Macclesfield, has attracted pretty much
of the curiosity of the inhabitants from his reptated ap-
pearance in public. Upon one occasion, a very dro.l
scene exhibited itself. A person came running iiro NI%
Smears, a hair-dresser's shop, with the information that
Mr. Wakefield was in the next street, walkin4 with his
son and daughter, and her governess, and so great was
the wish of a Gentleman who was under the bands of
the perruquier to have a peep at the wonderful man,
that he actually left the shop with his chin covered with
soap and a cloth over his shoulder, followed, as fast .s
they could run, by all the other inmates.
It is with great pleasure that we call the attention cf
oar readers to the munificent offer of 10001. from M.
STAPYLTOR, Esq. of Myton, towards the establishment
of a Society for providing Refuge and Employ ment to
Discharged Prisoners. We hope that this liberal offer
will excite the liberality of others, and that something
effectual will be done at the Meeting to be held at York
on the 27th inst. towards carrying this most desirable
object into immediate execution.—Leeds Mercury.
HANOVER, NOVEMBER 14.—His Royal Highness the
Duke of CAMARIDGE' is shortly expected from his jour-
ney to Islec klenburgh. The contributions for defraying
the expense of a monument in memory of the nano-
verians who fell in the battle of Waterloo, the foundation
of which was laid last Autumn, amounted to about
3,000 dollars. By putting this money out at interest,
the sum is increased to about 11,500 dollars. The
monument will be, on the whole, 156 feet high, and
consists of a pillar 100 feet high, and 12i in diameter,
placed on a pedestal. A flight of 190 steps will lead co
the summit, which will be adorned with a statue of
Victory. A simple inscription on the fiieze of the part
of the pedestal, will indicate the purpose of this national
monument ;and the names of the fallen warriors will be
inscribed on the three other sides.

Eight more Roman Catholics abjured the errors of
Popery in the parish church of Cavan on Sunday
sennight. All those (amounting now to 65 in number)
who have conformed to the Established Church within
the last six weeks in the county of Cavan, are, w thorn
a single exception, persons of decent, orderly, and sober
habits ; easy in their circumstances, and of the most
respectable and irreproachable characters.
Thursday se'nnight, a person, an inhabitant of
arewood, on his way home from near Utley, on horse•
back, took out of his pocket a loaded pist,l, with the
intention of transferring it to another pocket, but in the
act the pistol went off, the ball slightly wounding him
in the side, and then entered the body of the horse,
which killed him on the spot.
