The citizens of the United States will learn,
with no less surprise than regret, that the grave
of their Perry, the modest and the gaiiant-the
generous Perry, remains without stone or even
stake to guide those Of his countrymen who WIS.,
it Trinidad, to spot where their patriotic feel
ings would so naturally direct them. VI TINS
fact the writer of the present article is well IN
formed by an intelligent gentleman recently
from that island, and who, Tor several days,
sought in vain the turf which covered the re-
mains of our departed hero.
Only one, Of the inhabitants can guide the
stranger thither The corpse was followed by
numerous concourse, but most, nearly all, were
transient residents.
If Britons, in adm;ring the valiant deeds Of
our Perry, can wonder, and with regret that no
tribute Of respect or gratitude marks the spot
where rest his remains, what must be the feel
ings, the modification of his enquiring coun-
trymen, on their arrival to be told it is doubt
full if you can be correctly directed to the tomb
Of your Perry!
1t is unnecessary for ME, Messrs. Editors, to
remind my fellow citizens ofthe deeds of Erie's
hero. They know and they appreciate them
i, is only requisite to inform them OF the pre-
sent neglect 10 his memory.
Whilst every mark of respect has been paid
to the memories o. our other heroes, PER-
RVS, a name among the bravest Of the brave,
whose benevolent heart was only equalled by
his gallant spirit, it is hoped will not longer be
neglected, and it can never be forgotten. 1918.
For the qualification Of our female readers

now enjoying the rank of Vice Queen OF Ire
land, occupied so conspicuous station.

season, was held at Dublin Castle. For some
days past, the preparations for this court cere-
mony, were quite observable in the crowded
shops of the principal streets, and particularly
during the last two Gays. The hustle amongst
the fashionable world was considerably increas'
ed by its being so generally known that such
visitors as appeared in Irish manufactures
would be peculiarly acceptable 10 the presence
Of their Excellencies: and perhaps those who
composed the assemblage of beauty that last
night graced the Drawing-room, have never
appeared with more attractive claims to admit
ration, than on this occasion, when altired In
the produce Of native industry.
In front Of the throne were placed two chairs
of state for their excellencies; the visitors en-
tered from the eastern wing, and on being Sc
verally announced by the Chamberlain paid
their obeisalce to the Lord Lieutenant; they
were then presented by his Excellency to the
Marchioness, and afterwards passed into the
great drawing room, which afforded ample
space for promenade, and where refreshments
in great profusion and variety were provid-
ed About ii O'Clock the national anthem
was heard with fine effect, when their Excel
lencies, preceded by the State Steward, the
Comptroller Of the Household, the Gentleman
Usher, the Chamberlain, the Master OF the
Horse, and full suit Aides.de-C Camp, in their
splendid uniform, retired from the Presence
Chamber, and proceeded to the Drawing-room,
and afterwards 10 their Excelencies' private a
