fail, we should think, to draw at an early period
ofnext session thd most serious notice of Par
lament.
The Primate, Lord j. BE~REsFoRD, Archbi-
shop of Armagh, has above $4,000 acres, of
which more than $4,000 are arabic. His Grace
is a man in middle life, and of a healthy consti-
tuition. Suppose he was to let his life against
the leases let by his predecessor. he would have
the power of running perhaps u hundred families,
and obtaining for himself "a rack rent of not less
than G70,000 or 100000 per annum.
The See of Dublin has upwards of $1,000
acres. Much of this being near the metropolis,
must be considered as of extraordinary value.
But every thing is eclipsed by Derry: there
we have 3 LOCO Irish acres appropriated To my
Lord the Bishop-little short of 10000 Eng
lish acres! and should his Lordstip, at theIbe-
ginning of his incunbency, have thought fit 10
run his life against his tenants, he would now,
at the expiration of 20 years, possess j larger
rent roll than any subject in the world. Yet it
was this very See which begged assistance to-
wards repairing its own cathedral, which, by
the horror into which il threw Mr.. Dawson on
the occasion, has produced, we suspect, this sa-
lutary exposure of an evil which, must be re-
moved.

was thrown by Capt. PARTLY To the distance OF
1473 yards, where il penetrated the soil three
feet. 1t is expected that the larger rockets will
range 5000 yards. Capt. p. has been able To
communicate the ~rotator, motion Ola citie ball

1Marrying Youth and .Age-Gomilla relates in
'he history OF the River Oronokn, that there is one
nation that mariies old men to girls, and old wo-
men to youths, that age may correct the petulance
OF youth. For, they say, that to join young per-
sons equal in youth and imprudence in wedlock to-
5ether' is to join one fool to another. The mar
rage OF young men with old women is, however.
oniy a kind of apprenticeship, for after they have
'erved Tor some months, they are permitted to marry /,
women of their own age. .
