THE NEW STATISTICAL ACCOUNT OF SCOTLAND, NO.
XXIX., Blackwood, Edinburgh.—This important and valu-
able work progresses with all its former characteristics of

care, industry, and accuracy, and does credit to the charac

of the country

It should be held up as a model for every

people desirous of obtaining an authentic account of what-
ever is most interesting in the country which we inhabit.
The present number concludes the counties of Lanark, and
Ross, and Cromarty, and party of Fife. Of the numerous
articles which it contains, it would be difficult to select one
to which we could give preference ; but we should imagine
that the Supplement to the article " Glasgow," will be found
very generally acceptable.

IRISH MANUFACTURE. By an Irishman. Purcell and Son,
Cork. —We have received a little pamphlet under the above
dhich there are a number of just observations, which
.at be of importance to put into circulation just at this

tical economy that have been advanced by Professor Butt

~Verity, we should be exceedingly sorry to throw an im-
pediment in the way of any fair and legitimate endeavour to
afford her the benefit of them. But why is the subject to be
made one of party, or even of an exclusive nationality? If
Ireland be one with England, as she ought to be, why all this
glowing ardour of patriotism, or of pretended patriotism ?
What need of it? If Irish speculators, capitalists, or pa-
triots think they can establish or carry on manufactures in
Ireland advantageously, why, in the name of common sense,
do they not fall to work in downright earnest, instead of
merely spouting and prating so interminably ? The course
is open to them ; nobody desires to hinder them ; but when
there is so much agitation, so much verbiage and vapouring,
and so very little semblance of any thing practical, a suspi-
cion is inevitably raised in our mind that the real is different
from the apparent design—that it is a bubble, a trick, or a
piece of political strategy, the precise purpose of which we

The reasoning of Messrs

O'Connell and Brett appears
to be founded upon a gross error, viz., that the Irish con-
sumer of English manufactures does not thereby encourage
the industry of his own country ;—whereas, the Irish con-
sumer of English manufacture, as effectually encourages the
Irish labour, which is employed in producing articles, to pay
for these nglish manufactures,—as if he had directly
—,ht and consumed upon the spot, the produce of these
