of a Bank of Ireland note, with 

 directions to detect forged notes. 

 One of the gentlemen who has 

 been through this country called 

 at our office on Monday, and 

 left a copy of the above. By 

 paying attention to the rules 

 there pointed out, no mistake 

 can occur, as the diiference be- 

 tween the genuine and forged 

 note is very apparent. No ex- 

 pense or exertion on the part of 

 the Bank is omitted, to prevent 

 the circulation of fraudulent 

 paper. A few months ago one 

 of its agents attended the fairs 

 in this county, and examined the 

 notes for the country people. 

 The present method, we have no 

 doubt, will be equally beneficial 

 to the community. 



The following are the rules 

 to which we have above al- 

 luded : — 



The notes of the Bank of Ire- 

 land, of five pounds and under, 

 may easily be distinguished from 

 the forgeries now in ciixulation, 

 by observing — 



1. The general perfection which 

 prevails in the execution of every 

 part of the note. 



2. The extreme regularity and 

 identity of character prevailing 

 throughout every part of the 

 border : the scrolls of which it is 

 composed being without the least 

 perceptible variation. 



3. The small black worm lines 

 inserted on the white grounds in 

 the scrolls of the border, which 

 are, as to form, absolute fac- 

 similies of each other. 



4. The edging round the sum, 

 of which the distinguishing cha^ 

 racteristics are, extreme preci- 

 sion, uniformity, and perfect 

 execution. 



5. In the vignette — the Correct 

 delineation of the crown, riband, 

 and female figure, and the distinct 

 formation of the words " Bank 

 of Ireland," in black, and the 

 Latin motto in white letters, which 

 are inserted in the riband. — JVex-

26. Mittau.—lhe 30th of Au- 

 gust, O. S. the fete of our beloved 

 Sovereign was a day of great 

 rejoicing for us, more memorable 

 than any one in the annals of 

 Courland, and memorable also in 

 the annals of humanitj'. 



About two hours after mid- 

 night, the Emperor arrived, on 

 his way to Aix-la-Chapelle; ac- 

 cording to his orders, no cere- 

 monies took place. 



Already, the day before, Divine 

 service had been ordered in the 

 principal church, when the abo- 

 lition of vassalage in the Govern- 

 ment of Courland, which had 

 been resolved upon by the Em- 

 peror at the desire of the nobility, 

 and the confirmation of the plan 

 of the new Constitution for the 

 peasants, were to be published. 

 At seven in the morning, there- 

 fore, the Civil Governors, the 

 authorities, the nobility, the citi- 

 zens, and a great number of 

 peasants, assembled to pour out 

 their hearts to the formation of 

 all that is good, and to thank him 

 that the respectable class of their 

 brethren who cultivate the soil 

 of their country have also attain- 

 ed the rights of citizens. 



The solemn Te Deum began 

 after the arrival of his Excellency 

 the Governor, Marquis Palucci ; 

 and never, probably, was this 

 hymn cliaunted with more feel- 

 ing, than by the persons assem- 

 bled on this day, on which above
