Jae, Street, the child, substantiated the

fully. She seemed to be an uncommonly latelligent
child of her age. The mother of the child was also'

neral Returns of the 18 enumerators appointed by the
Recorder and Bench of Magistrates; the other parishes,
manors, &c. is the county, not numbered in the table,

with the account taken in the year 1793 by Dr. White-
law. it ippears that the City has increased since that
period'4,42l houses, and 55,831 inhabitants. This
fact is a refutation of the assertions of those who speak
of the decay of Dublin since the Union. In truth,
the whole of Ireland has rapidly advanced in the ca-
reer of Improvement within these 20 years; perhaps
th.
more so than any other country in garope—Total on
