A CONCISE TREATISE on the AG RICULTURAL 

 GRASSES INDIGENOUS to IRELAND, with DRIED 

 SPECIMENS of each GRASS. By D. Moore, A.L.S., Ac, 

 Curator of the Royal Botanic Garden, Dublin. 



'« It is not too much to say of this work, that it is one of the 

 most useful things that can be put into the hands of a person 

 interested in rural affairs and unacquainted with botany ; its 

 very small price, 65., places it within the reach of everybody. 

 Young gardeners, too, who are expectetl to know the common 

 Grasses when they see them, will find it an excellent compa- 

 nion."— Ur.Lindlcy in Gardeners' Chronicle for 30f A March, 1M4<. 



M We have much pleasure in noticing this work on our Indi- 

 genous Grasses. With respect to the tables, some difference 

 of opinion may exist, which, however, does not detract fnm 

 the value of the work, the g»eat merit of which, and one that 

 we trust will, as it undoubtedly ought, recommend it to every 

 lover of agricultural improvement— is, that it contains the 

 Grasses in their natural state correctly named; we, therefore, 

 welcome this performance as a boon to Agriculturists, and 

 have no doubt it will be viewed as such."— Irish Farmers' 



Gazette. , , 



" The work is one of the neatest and most comprehensive 



things of the kind which can be conceived, and although it 



embraces all, we may say, that can be learned theoretically of 



the Grasses of which it treats, it is free from confusion and 



simple in the extreme."— Northern Whig.

Krujs of the ZZXttU. 



By extraordinary express from Paris, intelligence 

 reached town yesterday of the bombardment of Tangiers 

 by the French squadron commanded by the Prince de 

 Joinville. Telegraphic despatches had been received in 

 Paris in the beginning of the week announcing the 

 suspension of hostilities and the appointment of the 

 Pacha of Larache on the part of the Emperor with full 

 powers to treat for peace. No doubt was entertained of 

 the good faith of the Emperor, or of his desire to effect 

 an amicable settlement of all differences ; but the French 

 Ministerial Papers were by no means sanguine of the 

 result, and they referred ominously to the authority of 

 letters from Gibraltar, and to the journals of Cadiz and 

 Madrid, which described the exasperation of the Moors 

 to be so great as to suggest fears that the Emperor would 

 not be able to persevere in a pacific course. These fore- 



day night received the fo; 

 the const of Africa : — (

 gier. Those works have been desJrtryeoA ^pteuropean 

 quaiter of tie town has been spared. Mr. Drummond 

 Hay, the Consul-Gen«ral of England, took refuge on 

 board the French Admiral's ship*" It will be observed 

 that the date of the bombardment is not given, but it 

 would seem to have occurred many days ago, as the 

 Madrid papers of t he 6th inst. mention the receipt of a 

 letter from the coast stating that the firing was seen 

 from the watch-tower of Cadiz, and that a steamer had 



ft that harbour with passengers to view the sight. 

 This statement was at first supposed to be untrue, but 

 there can now be no doubt that the bombardment has 

 taken place, and further tdv .ay be looked for with 



some interest. — The affairs of Tahiti arc still the subject 



T angry comment, but it is evident, from the tone of 

 the Ministerial papers, that the possibility that the 

 French authorities had been in the wrong is begin- 

 ning to be admitted. The Opposition journals are 

 still clamourous for war in prefc ice to any con- 

 cession to this countiy, but a general impression 

 prevails in the best-informed circles, that the affair will 

 terminate amicably. During the past week two other 

 events have occurred, which, under other circumstances, 

 would have excited speculation ; one of these is the 

 sudden equipment of a squadron f r Tunis, for the alleged 

 purpose of preventing the landing of troops from the 

 Turkish feet, which is supposed to be directing its course 

 to that Blatter ; the other is the.establishmcnt of the 

 Freuch protectorate over the Gambier Islands, where the 

 tri-coloured fl.ig was flying on the 25th February. In 

 addition to these occurrences, the visit of Count Nessel- 

 rode to London is regarded with some uneasiness by the 

 French journals, which connect his visit with some un- 

 known object of a political character. A rumour of M. 

 Guizot's retirement, from an unwillingness to yield to the 

 demands of England or incur the alternative of a war, is 

 alao current, and although not generally credited, these 

 various reports have given rise to much uneasiness in Paris, 

 and the funds have iallen considerably, from a prevailing 

 belief that the present state of affairs presents a sombre 

 prospect for the future. — From Spain there ia nothing 

 of much interest beyond the arrangements for the return 

 of the two Queens to Madrid, and the continuance of 

 arrests, in connexion with the plots which the Govern- 

 ment profess to have discovered.— From Italy we learn 

 that there is no longer any doubt of the issue of the late 

 insurrection in Calabria. Of the 19 prisoners captured 

 by the Neapolitan troops, 17 have suffered death, among 

 whom were the two sons of Admiral Bandiera, who, as 

 the commander of the Austrian navy, took part in Sir 

 R. Stopford's expedition on the coast of SyTia in 1840. 

 Most of the prisoners executed were of noble families in 

 Venice or the Papal States, and their execution has made 

 so deep an impression at Naples, that the Government 

 has found it necessary to adopt extraordinary precautions 

 to prevent another outbreak. — The event of the week 

 which is at once the most startling and unexpected, is 

 the intelligence from Alexandria that Mehemet Ali has 

 suddenly abdicated, and announced his intention to retire 

 to Mecca. Although this determination is no longer 

 likely to have much influence on European policy, it is 

 still the most remarkable instance of a voluntary renun- 

 ciation of political greatness which the world has seen 

 since the retirement of Charles V. to the monastery of 

 St. Just. The succession to the Pacbalic of Egypt is se- 

 cured to his son Ibrahim by the events of 1840, and it is 

 supposed that Mehemet Ali, by his retirement to the City 

 of the Prophet, is not only anxious to prepare for his 

 final pilgrimage, but also to witness, before his death, 

 the commencement of the career of his own posterity in 

 the sovereignty which he created. 



At home, with the exception of Her Majesty's conva- 

 lescence, there is little which calls for particular obser- 

 vation, except the official notice served upon the 

 attorneys for Mr. O'Connell and the other appellants to 

 the House of Lords, stating that their cause will be 

 taken into further consideration on Monday, the 2d of 

 September, and that the Judges will then attend the 

 House and deliver their opinions upon the questions of 

 law submitted to them.
