His Grace the Doke of Devonshire is new at Lis-

greatest Landed Proprietors in Ireland, the Doke
of Devonshire is also a great Lay Impropriator.—
At his instance principally. as well as that of
the gentlemen of Waterford. a meeting is convened
by the High Sheriff, to be held at Lismore. es Monday
next. We regard this meeting as of extreme interest,
not oily to the county of Waterford. but to the king-
dom. It is, indeed, a most gratifying thing to Ind.
that this nobleman, who has more to losses a Layman
than, perhaps, any other individual of the country, ins

It is sot mere talk with his Grace of Devonshire. If a

sacrifice for the sake of his country.

the best resident landlords in Ireland is Lord Powers-

that while the revenges of the Church are collected in
the present way, that establishment can neither be po-
pular nor raciest. His Lordship ie. therefore, a friend
to commutation), and his manse appears in the swainse

The Members of the Comity are also friends to the'

High Sheriff of Kildare for the same purpose. Their
