The love of literature seems to be 
gaining ground daily in Ireland, and par- 
ticularly that class of it which will tend 
ultimately to make its provinces more 
frequented and better known, which: will 
not only excite the attention of the 
stranger, but point out natural beauties 
and curiosities, unexplored even by the 
native. The general topography of the 
country has received partial illustration 
from the Statistical Surveys of the coun- 
ties of Dublin, Wicklow, Kilkenny, 
Queen’s County, Cavan, Armagh, Mo- 
naghan, Meath, Down, Londonderry, 
Tyrone, Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim, and 
Mayo, which have been already pub- 
lished, and the recent writings of Sir John 
Carr, Miss Owenson, and Sir Richard 
Hoare, have augmented our knowledge 
of the sister island in no incensiderable 
degree.

ished with a portrait of Mr. Bruce and

The Jews in London have lately 
printed a small, volume in Hebrew and 
English, containing a collection of their 
prayers, and the service used in the sy- 
nagogues. It appears that the Hebrew 
language is on the decline among the 
English Jews, and that they cultivate a 
study of the language of the country in 
which they live, considerably more than 
formerly. 
Several gentlemen interested in the 
Mineralogy of Wales, have determined 
to have the mountains.in that country 
examined by a practical mineralogist, in 
order that the various veins. of metallie 
ores contained in them may be worked, 
if sufficiently valuable. The investiga- 
tion has succeeded as far as yet pursued 
beyond expectation, and in a small part 
of the prescribed range of mineralogical 
examination, several rich veins of cop- 
per ore have been discovered, and an 
extensive vein of lead ore traced across 
a valley near Linfair, in Menonethshire, 
under a stata of rock not more than two 
feet in thickness. This vein has been 
opened, and is now working to great 
advantage. . 
According to the returns made to the 
college of physicians on the subject of 
vaccmation, the following results are ob~ 
tained; the whole number of persons 
vaccinated, of whom accounts are given 
to the college, is 164,381, of which 
number 24, or 1 m 6849 have had in- 
flamed arms; 1 in 54,793 have died of 
such inflamed arms; 66 or 1in 2477 have 
had eruptions after the cow-pock ; and 
56, or 1 in 2917 have had the sinall-pox 
afterwards. According to the London 
bills of mortality, the usual annual - 
amount of deaths by the small-pox is 2000 
at least, and the number rendered blind, 
lame, and otherwise diseased by the same 
loathsome disease, may be fairly esti~ 
mated at 6000, making a total of 8000 
persons who either die, or are rendered 
miserable for life by the small-pox in 
_ London alone, annually. Now according 
to the returns made to the college, the 
number of accidents in 8000 persons 
being vaccinated, would be in the follow— 
ing proportion; 1 only would have had 
an inflamed arm; 3 would have had 
eruptions afterwards; and 2 might have
