THADY BRADY.—This jeu d'esprit, which, in a strain of
characteristic Irish humour, sets forth to the life what may fairly
tie supposed to result, in innumerable instances, from the adop-
tion of the National System of Education, of which it is hard to
say whether it be more iniquitous or preposterous, is the produc-
tion, we understand, of a young clergyman in Dublin of the
name of Irwin.

COUNTY REGISTRATION.—The register of voters for the en-
suing year was last week delivered up by the clerk of the peace,

MACINTOSH'S CLEANED.—.We.beg to refer our readers to
Mr. Lloyds advertisement, his mode of cleaning the waterproof
cloaks is most excellent and by the process used by him they
are rendered equal to new.
Mr. Russell, whose advertisement appears in anothercolumn.
Met with a very flattering reception in his new character of a
tnonodramatist on Monday evening last, at theTemplars' Flail,
and gave, with excellent etreet, "Two Volumes" of "Recollec-
tions of Things what may or may not have Happened." We
cannot speak teo highly of the talent of this gentleman ; and
those who have the satisfaction of witnessing him will not think
our enconium undeserved. It would occupy too much space to
particularize each clever feature in Mr. IL's amusing enter-
tainment, and, we should strongly recommend our readers to
jndge for themselves on Monday evening next.

• TRIBUTE. OF RESPECT TO THE MEMORY OF A CLERGYMAN
OF, THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND.—We are much gratified to find
that the congregation of St. Michael's Church, Pitt-street,
have erected a most chaste and elegant marble monument, with-
in the altar, to the memory of their late much-loved and
Itmented minister, the Rev. Henry Berry. In times like the
present, when clergymen of the Established Church are assailed
with obloquy by the LIBERAL press of the day, as inattentive to
the spiritual. welfare of their flocks, as well as to the scriptural
education of their,; poorer brethren, we earnestly recommend
our readers and.the public to visit the above church and satisfy
themselves of the fe'elings which must exist in that populous
,tlistrict towards the,establishment, and that it does not require
the.aid of a wealthy congregation to testify their esteem for de-
parted worth. During his short ministry among them, he
secured their love and affection by his zeal for their temporal
and eternal happiness, and by promoting and carrying into fnll
operation daily scheols for the education of the rising genera-
tion, in which schools the.children are taught to fear God and
honour the king. We .understand the monument was erected
by our townsman, Mr. ..Spcnce, Browhlow-hill. The design
!"."1 w,,rktnauship reflects the highest credit upon him, and
.jtistifies the reni.krk that, with proper management, the town of
