VICEREGAL AND LIBERAL MUNIFICENCE.

The following advertisement, forwarded to our office, and
paid Jur as usual, appeared in the Evening Mail of last Monday
week :
" Their excellencies the Earl and Countess Mulgrave, Lords
Morpeth, Leitrim, Cloncurry, Lice.' have been sojourning at
Carton-house these some days. On Sunday the viceregal party
attended at the charity sermon preached in the church of May-
nooth, in behalf of the poor-shop and other institutions; which
elicited the largest collection ever made at the annual appeal."
The modesty of those who "do good by stealth, and blush to
find it fame," has held back frotn,public gaze the amount of
"the largest collection ever made at the annual appeal" for the
poor at the church of Maynooth. Anxious that the world should
not lose the example of such liberality, northe.doi3ors their just
quota'of praise, we regret that we can only announce the names
of the libeaal contributorS, together with the general amount of
their unparalleled munificence.
There were present, then, on this occasion-
1. The Lord-Lieutenant, the Countess of Mulgrave, and suite.
2, The Duke and Duchess of Leinster and family.
3. The Earl and Countess of Leitrim and family.
4. Lord and Lady Cloncurry and family.
5. Lord Morpeth and suite.
6. A large party of fashionables then sharing the hospitali-
ties of Carton-house.
And the collection ("the largest ever made") amounted to
Twenty Pounds ,
'lt is not for nothing that the advertiser blows a flourish of
trumpets.—Dablin Mail.

JERSEY WRECKERS.—The barbarous custom of plundering
the wrecks of ships is still carried on itt Jersey. Since the,
wreck of the Margaret, off. Jersey, in,which ten lives were
sacrificed out of fifteen, a regular system of plunder has been
carried on by the fishermen. An offer has been made to bring
the wreck safe on shore at a certain price, which, being consi-
dered exorbitant, was refused. Since then a lawless system has
been puriued of plundering every thing that could be laid hold
of. Sails, spars, masts, rigging—all went; and, not content
with that, even the poor sailors' clothes have been stolen out of
the forecastle; nor has a single article found in the vessel when;
towed to shore been accounted for. The vessel not having
been insured, the captain estimates his loss at L 250.:

The celebrity which Rowland's Macassar Oil has obtained.
•
through the unremitting exertions and 'la 'orious researches of
Messrs. RowitANn arid .SON:, has caused the most fraudulent
attempts to be resorted to for the purpose of imposing upon the.
world a spurious and highly injurious ingredient, under the.
name of "Genuine" Macassar Oil, and offered for sale under
the lure of being eh p. It was hopedthat empiricism bad,
reached its acme of ingPsition; but still individuals are found
sordid enough to risk reputation and absolute sacrifice of pro-
perty in order to plunder others, and, force themselves into
notoriety at the expense of those whose sole aim has been to,
benefit3toefit human .nature, with the expectant reward 'for time,
ar, and talent.—To prevent such tin position, it is particu-
larlyw.. u _ requisite to observe the CAUTION in the Advertisement,
which appears in another column.
