DUBLIN CORN MARKET, AUG. 27.

The supply of new grain at market to-day was moderate, and
every thing met a brisk demand. We note Bere 6d., Oats, Is.
to Is. 6d., and Wheat Is. to 25. dearer than on Tuesday. Old
Wheat also commanded an advance of 6d. to Is., and Indian
Corn was ready sale, at 2s. so 3s. per quarter beyond the cur-
rency of last market. Old Oats dull, but not cheaper.

3f old time

Leration, even in old

age. Hymns are the first things we learn, and generally
the last to be forgotten. They bring back memories of our
innocent childhood, and we weep with Hood to find our-
selves further off from Heaven than we were then. They
recal the death-beds of little children, or those of riper
age, to whom those sweet hymns used to be as " songs in
the night," and who are singing now in Heaven ! We
have an old hymn-book which' we would not part with for
its weight in gold ! so bright and golden are the recollec-
tions interwoven with its solemn and sacred melodies.
Neither must we forget to mention, in connexion with this
part of our subject, the Prayer-book, which we once
thought it such an honour to be permitted to carry, and
looked upon with a loving reverence that years have had
no power to abate. But the bright binding and the gilded
leaves have become tarnished and time-stained—ay, and
tear-stained—since then. The sweet voice is hushed that
mingled with ours in prayer and psalm. God forgive us
if we sometimes forgot to pray in listening to its gentle
responses ; for every Prayer-book has its associations.
Leigh Hunt tells us, that his love of books is so great, that
he has " a fond custom of writing upon one in preference
to a desk, although he begs to say, for dignity's sake, he
has a desk !" and observes, with great truth, that " it is
not at all necessary to love many books in order to love
them much. How natural it was," writes he, "inC. L.
to give a kiss to an old folio, as I once saw him do to
Chapman's Homer." Yes, it was very natural ! And we
have done the same thing ourselves before now—only not
to Chapman's Homer. Petrarch died with his head rest-
ing on a book ; and many have envied him a death so
much in unison with his poetical and romance-loving life.
For ourselves, dearly as we like books, and romance too,
for the matter of that, there is but one on which we desire
to lean in such an hour ; and, resting on its sweet pro-
mises of redeeming grace, so pass away in peace ! Book-
love is the spirit of hearth and homestead ! the great agent
of civilisation and refinement. Its ministers are " a glo-
rious priesthood !"—its worshippers a countless multitude
of all ages and countries. Here and there false teachers
have risen up, and clouds of bewildering sophistry and
error are ever darkening and sweeping over its clear he-
misphere; and it is for this reason that we would have all
upon their guard lest they should be tempted to make
shipwreck of this most sweet faith. " A blessing," writes
Harriet Martineau, " upon all writers of voyages and tra-
vels !" A blessing, say we, upon Book-love, and Book-
lovers, and Book-writers, all over the world !—so that
Vieir aim be the good, the beautiful, and the true !

H. G. IRELAND,
OF 92, BOLD-STREET,

BEGS most respectfully to inform the Ladies of
Liverpool, that his
STOCK OF FURS, FOR THE SEASON,

IS NOW READY
At the name time, he begs to return his sincere thanks for the
distinguished patronage he has received during eight years,
which has enabled him to offer for their approval the
LARGEST RETAIL STOCK OF FURS IN THE KINGDOM,

COMPRISING EVERY DESCRIPTION,
And all the Novelties that have yet appeared in the London or
Parisian Markets.
In inviting the Ladies to an inspection thereof, he does not
wish to hold out any absurd inducement. He feels, however,
gratified in observing, that as he purchases his Skins precisely
upon the same terms as the largest Wholesale Houses, and also
Manufactures them, he obtains thereby an advantage over the
smaller purchaser, who merely retails them, and is enabled
to charge much Lower than they possibly can. The Esta-
blishment is, moreover, exclusively devoted to the Sale of
FURS ; and the great extent and variety of the Stock will not
be found surpassed in any Retail House in England.
SABLE GOODS will this year be fully TWENTY PER
CENT. LOWER than similar Goods were last season.
To ALTERATIONS and REPAIRS it will always be his
study to devote as much attention and care as if he was en-
gaged in the manufacture of new articles ; and as he never
trusts them to other than the most clever artizans the trade
can produce, and takes every care that all the departments of
his House are under his own inspection, and on the premises,
he has the utmost security for the punctual and faithful exe-
cution of every order with which he may be entrusted.

DR. DE LA-MOTTE'S NUTRITIVE, HEALTH
RESTORING AROMATIC CHOCOLATE,
PREPARED FROM THE NUTS OF THE SASSAFRAS TREE.

Sold by the Patentee, 12, Southampton-street,
Strand, Lo .
This CHOCOLATE c ains the peculiar virtues
of the Sassafras Root? wh' has been long held in great
estimation for its punfy* and alterative properties. The
aromatic quality (whichvery grateful to the stomach) most
invalids require for b akfast and evening repast, to promote
digestion, and to a d ciency of this property in the customary
breakfast and sup , -nay in a great measure be attributed the
frequency of cas of indigestion generally termed bilious. It
has been found ighly beneficial in correcting the state of the
digestive organs, &c., from whence arise many diseases, such
as eruptions of the skin, gout, rheumatism, and scrofula. In
cases of debility of the stomach, and a sluggish state of the
liver and intestines, occasioning flatulence, costiveness, &c.,
and in spasmodic asthma, it is much recommended.

BELL'S PATENT MINERAL PAINT.

This Paint is ready for use, is greatly superior, and not half
the price of Oil Paint; will never chip or blister, and will dry
in a few hours.

It is invaluable as a coating for ships' sides and bottoms;
being sufficiently liquid to be laid on cold, and will dry under
fresh or salt water, so that the action of the waves will not re-
move it for years. It is also peculiarly adapted for the pre-
servation of all materials or surfaces exposed to the action of
the weather • all descriptions of iron or metal work, wood laid
under ground or water, or imbedded in stone or brick, pre-
serving the wood or metal in its original soundness, and being
perfectly waterproof, it will be found a certain remedy for leaky
roofs, spouts, and gutters ; is also an admirable coating for
farming utensils, doors, sheds, out-houses, fencing, railing, &c.
Sold in casks of two, four, six, and ten gallons, and upwards,
at Is. 6d. per gallon.

DIRECTIONS FOR USE.
This Paint is to be applied as thin as possible, with a short_
haired stiff brush, which will bear pressure.

EMERSON'S ROYAL PATENT CEMENT PAINT.
MANUFACTORY—FORD-STREET,
VAUXHALL-ROAD, LIVERPOOL.
CHAFFER and THOMPSON having purchased from the Pa-
tentee, Dr. Emerson, of Pittsburg, North America, the right to
MANUFACTURE and VEND the above celebrated PAINT, are
now ready for delivering the same.
This valuable and economic Paint, (being only about one-
sixth the price of Oil Paint, and yet more durable, is far supe-
rior to any other at present in use in this country,) for out-door
work, such as Fronts of Houses, and all places exposed to the
weather, giving a beautiful fine cut-stone appearance.
It being altogether of a Mineral Composition, the atmospheric
air does not act on it as with other Paints in which oily or ani-
mal matter is introduced; but yyhen laid on the walls it rapidly
acquires the hardness of Stone, and does not chip or blister,—
it being fully tested that the severest American Winter has no
effect whatever on it.

It is made of any tint or shade, but a fine Portland Stone
Colour is generally preferred.
It is simple in its application, being ready for use on opening
the Cask, and may be laid on with a common Paint-brush.
From its adhesive quality it will cling to any surface—Brick,
Stone Asphalts or Roman Cement ; to thelatter it has a pecu-
liar affinity, and may be applied while wet.
Sold in Iron-bound Casks of One Cwt., Bs.; Two Cwt., 15s. ;
Three Cwt., 225. Fine qualities for Inside Work at 10s. andl2s.
per Cask of One Cwt.

MITE Rev. URBAN SMITH, Incumbent of Stony
Middleton, Derbyshire,.will have a Vacancy for a PUPIL

has the greater part of his time to devote to the Education of
the Young Gentlemen intrusted to his care. Pupils, from Eight
to Fourteen Years of Age, would be preferred; but Mr. Smith
having been for many years employed in preparing Students
for either of the Universities, w-have no objection to re-
ceive one more advanced i and Studies.

Can the most incredulous—the most unwilling to con-
nect the Roman priesthood with the murders that redden
the soil with gore—can he wonder that the people who
are doomed to receive instruction at the hands of such a
teacher are habitually prone to blood ?
ROMANISM AND THE IRISH COLLEGES.—The well-
known memorial of the '` Roman Catholic Archbishops
and Bishops of Ireland," respecting the provincial col-
leges, contained the following, among other demands:—
"That office bearers should be appointed by a board of
trustees, of which the Roman Catholic Prelates of the
province in which any of those colleges shall be erected,
shall be members. That Roman Catholic pupils could
not attend the lectures on History,- Logic, Metaphysics,
Moral Philosophy, Geology, or Anatomy, without exposing
their faith or morals to imminent danger, unless a Roman
Catholic professor -shall be appointed to each of these
chairs," Here we have the Romish Prelates of Ireland
boldly avowing that six important sciences are not to be
studied, except under ecclesiastical surveillance—under
the same protection heretofore held out to astronomy. it
would be dangerous to the soul of a Romish student to
hear Miller, Mitford, Gibbon, Robertson, Hume, Sis-
mondi, Alison ; he should satisfy his cravings for know-
ledge with the orthodox twaddle of Schlegel, or the
genuine quotations of O'Connell from Fyndes Morrison.
Whateley and Mill are forbidden in logic: Bacon, Locke,
Berkely, Brown, Kant, Stewart, Reid, must not be heard
in metaphysics. Every English and German writer on
moral philosophy is excluded. In geology he dares not
listen to Buckland, Leyell, Hutton, &c., &c. And in
anatomy—but that has been sufficiently laughed at already.
Among the signatures to this memorial, is that of the
titular Archbishop of Dublin, Dr. Murray. If there be
one man .more than another among the Irish Roman
Catholic Bishops eminent for shrewdness and common
sense it is he. He is, and most deservedly, the man
usually put forward to Protestantism as an example of a
liberal, sensible, and enlightened Roman Catholic clergy-
man. What think you, gentle reader, are his contribu-
tions to literature ? A tract on a miraculous cure of Mrs.
Mary Stuart, worked in 1823 in Rathmines convent ! The
argument of it is, that as the miracles of Christ were to
confirm the faith of his disciples, so the cure of Mrs.
Stuart, which was worked by the eucharist, was intended
to awaken faith in it. It is every whit as absurd as
Shiewsbury on the estatica. O'Connell would not com-
mit himself to it, but he would brand a bishop as a "pious
fool." Since Butler and Paley would be dangerous to the
faith and •morals of a Roman Catholic student, what a
valuable substitute is afforded by " Murray on miracles!"
