[Nov. t, 
Tuam, He was a prelate exemplary in hie. 
coniuct, engaging in his manners, and en- 
lightened in bis mind ; his zeal, as a publie 
character, extended no less to the punctual dis- 
charge of the duties he owed to the flock com- 
mitted to his care, than to promote and spp- 
port the general interests of religion; his 
virtue in private life endeared him to his 
friends, while, in his general intercourse with 
society, his dign fied deportment rendered him 
respectable. Placed at the head of this dio- 
cesey at a fearful period of civil commotion, 
unawed ey. the dread of the misrepresentations 
of prejudice, or the misconceptions of disaf= 
fection, he taught obedience to the laws of 
his country, and charity and forbearance to 
all men. The same zeal which actuated him 
to remové abuses committed to the prejudice 
of religion, rendered him firm jn opposing 
any attempts to encroach on its rights.

To our last month’s general observations upon the state oe 
these grand sources of national prosperity, we have nothing to add, An almost universal » 
ginom pervades the manufacturing world, and we conceive that peace. alone is capable of dis~ - 
peiling it. ‘Fhe Earl of Dundonald has engaged a worsted-miil, near Canterbury, for the pur- - 
poe of introducing a newsmanufactory. From an address circulated by his lordship, it appears: 
thit he has formed the laudable design of enabling the county of Kent, by working up its 
ow. wool, to rival, in the worsted hosiery trade, the counties of Leicester, Noteingtetty Rae 
of Warw; a and Derby, to which that branch kas hitherto been confined..
