-9neisnt Manuscript of the Gospels. -
The Rev. j. III. Todd gave lately to the
Royal Irish Academy short account Of
a manuscript OF the Four Gospels, of the
7th century, and in Irish Characters,
which is preserved in the library of his
Grace the Archbishop Of Canterbury, at
Lambeth. The volume is small quar-
to, in the minute hand called Caroline
common TO ell Europe ia the reign OF
Charlenagse, but now used only in Ire.
land AID known as the Irish character
The present volume appears to have be-,
logged to Maelbrisht Mac Dernan, or
Mac TorgaB, who was Archbishop of
Armagh in the ninth century, and died
A. ID. 925. BY him IT was probably
sent to Athelstan, King OF the Anglo
Saxons. who presented it to the city Of
Canterbury.-These facts are inferred
from an inscriptions in Anglo.Saxon char
acters (aad in the eud of the ninth
or beginning OF the tenth century,
which occurs on blank page immedi,
ately following the genealogy in the
first chapter ofSt. Matthew. The dis
covery oithis manuscript and the salts.
factory proof which facts afford Of It's l.
IRISH origin are important, as adding a.
mother to the many instances with which
we ere already acquainted, Of the en-
Ployment OF Irish scribes in the trans
criPtion OF the Scriptures during the 9th
and 9TH centuries. 1t is now well ascer-
tanned that almost all the sacred books
SO highly yenerated by the Anglo.Sax-
on church, and left by her early bishops
as heir-looms to their respective sees,
were obtained by Ireland or Irish

bean prepared for killing rats. The child
commenced vomiting in about Is minutes

ing under the usual symptoms of poison,
when DIR. b. arrived, which was about two
hours alter. He Immediately commenced
giving table spoonful Of sweet oil mixed
with fresh burnt charcoal finely puIverized,
repeating the dose as often as the child vom-
lied, using new milk as constant drink, TO
The exclusion of every thing else His visit
was repeated in about ten hours, when the
Child was found coLvalescent, and has since
remained in apparent health.
DIR. Is. does not assert that this remedy is
a certain antido,e to the poison but beng a

The expression ofthis unfortunate being

who was consulted, was convinced that
the chance OF success was limited one.
and hetherefore recommended him to al
low DIR. HARDWOOD to attempt a plan. ais
together new in this country, of con-
structing an artificial nose, of a mineral
substance commonly used in dental sur
gerry for artificial gums.
The ingenuity of this gentleman has
surpassed the expectations of those who
have watched his benevolent exer.ions.
The new nose is superior in appearance
to those usually constructed by the Tai
iacotian method. But separately from
this consideration, the patient has been
saved from series of Protracted suffer,

every friend of humanity will rejoice in
the success which has marked the I'm.

facial apparatus always snugly in place,

it obviously devolves upon DR.. Harwood
to favor the professional public, at least,

which this important artificial appen,
