THE PROPERTY TA-x.—By this new tax the Earl of Lime-
rick will have to pay one thousand pounds a-year out of his,
Irish rent-toll, whilst residing in England-. The absentees
possessing property in the surrounding counties will have to
contribute upwards of twenty thousand pounds by residing

THE EARTH QUAKE.-it is not generally known that an
earthquake, similar that recently expected, was predicted
during the administration of Sir R. Walpole. It was pro-
ductive of as much alarm as the anticipated catastrophe of
March, 1842. When the fanatic who occasioned the disor-
der found that his prediction bad not been verified, he assured
the deluded people that it bad been postoned, on account of
Iris intercession with the Almighty.

PEEIJURY

MARCH OF INTELLECT.—The lady of one of our trades-
men, a short time ago, having rung for her servant, was sur-
prised at her delay, and proceeding to her bed-room to
ascertain the cause, to her great surprise found the girl stand-
ing in front of her looking glass, reciting a portion of Byron's
poetry, and suiting the action to the word.—BrightonGa.zette.
Mr. Hawthorn has announced himself as a candidate in
the conservative interest for the representation of Wigton-
shire. Captain Dalrymple, expecting to be thrown out by a
committee, has also issued an address to the electors of that
county. It is expected, in addition, that in the event of a
vacancy, Sir Andrew Agnew will offer himself for the
suffrages of the electors.
Sir Robert Peel has silenced all his political opponents,
and nothing is now heard but praises of his comprehensive
and most enlightened policy.' Not a paper do we open,
whether Whig, tory, or radical, but is warm in expressions
regarding the honourable baronet's boldness—his honesty of
purpose—his profound abilities! Never did' any British
minister stand higher in public estimation than does Sir R.
Peel at the present moment! Where are now the effigy
burners ?—Glasgow paper. .
