WRECK OF TIM TAYLEUR.-There is a liklihood of the
large sum of money belonging to the Provincial Bank,
Ennis, lost last December near Crusheen, being recovered.
We believe there is no doubt a man named Considine was
the finder, and that he was one of the passengers in the
ship Tayleur, wrecked on Lombay. He left, as he stated,
with the intention of going to America, but he took a pas-
sage in the above vessel for Melbourne. After arrivinc, in
Dublin, he wrote home for some money, and this fact be-
coming known, inquiry was made where the money came
from, as it was well known that the family were distressed,
and he has been taken into custody in Dublin.—Limerick
Chronicle.

THE Expnrss EUGENIE.—It is said that the Empress
since herreturn from Fontainbleau to the Tuileries has been
in thatpeculiarstate of healthwhich produces amorbidstate
of mind, and for which doctors all agree that there is no
remedy save change of scene and travelling. One of the
settled ideas which has taken possession of her imagina-
tion is gratified by the pursuit of every memento of the
unfortunate Marie Antoinette, and her whole recreation
is in the pursuit of every souvenir connected with the
unhappy Queen in the Palace of the Tuileries.

THE JEWS AND JUDAISX.—On Tuesday evening the
Rev. Dr. M`Neile delivered a lecture in Exeter-hall, on
this subject. The lecture comprised an elaborate treat-
ment of the subject, as a grand evidence in support of the
truths of inspiration, against the specious theories and
fancies of the secular organ, the Reasoner, and the works
of Theodore Parker. Man was considered as a longing
creature, panting after " something which he has not yet
attained, a mystery to himself; the solution of which could
be found, and only found, in Christianity, cordially un-
derstood and embraced." This introduced the considera-
tion of the Christian view of the adequate causes which
have been at work in the world, and the results produced,
which cannot be denied, and must be accounted for—
questions which have not been decided by any reasoning
hypothesis. The lecturer then introduced the Jews, their
religion, and history, as facts or links in the chain of evi-
dence. The history of the Jews corresponded to the letter
of prophecy respecting them, and they were a sign and a
before wonder which could not be greater—an accumulation of
miracles attesting the truth and origin of prophecy. Their
religion in the Old Testament was the gospel in a figure,
