WoMAE's VESERAr1oS.-If women have one,
weakness more marked than man, it is toward
vcneration. They are born. worshppers-
makers Of silver srincs in some divinity or
other, which of course they always think fell
straight down from heaven. The first step"
towards their falling in love with an ordinary
mortal is generally to dress him out with ali
manner OF real or taneied superiority; and
having made him up, they worship him. Now,
y trail y great man, a man really grand. and
noble in art and intellect, has this advantage
with women, that he is an idol ready made to
hand; and So that very panstaklng and IN.
gcnious sex have less labor in getting him upr
and can be ready to worship him ON shorter
notice. In particular is this the case where a.
sacred profession and a moral supremacy are
added to the intellectual. Just think OF the
career of celebrated preachers and divincs in
all ages.-llave they. not stood like the image
that "Nebuchadnezzar tte-King set up" and
all wcmenkind, conqucttes and firts not cx-
ccpted, been ready to fall down and worship,

Immigration to this country from Ircaul. 1t
appears, bv the report Of the Commissioners,
that during the last week there arrived at the

that the letters Of DR.. Cahill, the eminent Irish
