My native place is Knockballochery, in the County Kerry, sir, —Gerald won dered. Well can you see any body, yet? I iliii.k 1 can, sir- please to look at that tall lusty gentleman, with the Oxford grey surtout, but wide open at the breast, and with ilie quaker like hat, and the healthy, good humoured face, and his eyes cast down, thinking, and the umbrella lying along his arm. He that walks so firm aid stout. I have him—he may be some famous Priest. A friend to them sir. Tliat‘s Counsel lor Dant lrd> td! and now going to some law Courts ?• Yes, sir? to the Four Courts. See huw the people turn to look after him, sir, and then smile at each other U3 they pass, they like to see him walking so bravely alone with his broad shoulders and his full breast; and ti? thought lie likes to be Been by them, stepping over the flags of Dublin, through thkk and thin, friends and foes; for he could go in his carriage to the Four Courts tvery day if he tho i fir, sir—look, sir, here it comes close af ter him. The green one, with the green coach man, and green harness ribbons? Yes, sir: and lie-d have the horses green if lie could. Puiy a-sist me. again;—l have my eye I think, upon some other popular charac ter for the people turn to look after him, too; though he is so different a figure from Mr. 0 Connel. 1 mean the low, slight, little gentleman, who walks so ra pidly, jerking his arms, and pushing out ins under lip so often, and whose com plexion is so cocked, and—now that he jiappen? to look up—whose eyes are so dark, and fine* and expressive?* ‘You’re right, sir; thal { 8 Mr. Shicl.’ ‘Ay! he is overtaken, now, by a very large person, who t arries his head very high, and wears his clothes very loose; md whiskers, and has a profusion of shirt collar and bears a huge stick, or club on his nhoulder —is he anyone of note?’ ‘lndeed,and he is, sir! Counsellor O’- Gorman, the secretary, no loss. ‘ The Secretary!—what Secretary?’ ‘Of the Catholic board, Sir.’ ‘Well, and that other gig-intic gentle man who now- meets him and Mr. Shiel who is ho?’ It is a lucky morning for you, sir; sure he is Mr. Eneas M‘Donnell, that hunts the Biblicals over the Country, and gives them no race or pace; when he's on his legs, it would be no easy thing to make him sit down, Sir, against his liking, as you may parsave, and he knows that well. See! the three gentlemen are passed by another, who by the expression of his countenance to them does not seem a friend? Do you mean that gentleman with the broad red face Sir, black coat and waist coat, e'low leather breeches, top boots, spu<s and a heavy whip in Ins hand? The same. 1 hen you are right again .Sir; its the Rev Sir Harcnurt Lees, that calls him self commander in chief of the Orangemen and oftorfd himself yesterday in the pa pers as hangman to the same gentlemen youMe after seeing pass by. A precious set altogether, thought Ge rard; what a society! what people! what a B-irotiet! what a clergyman! But no one minds poor little Sir liar court, lie's only cracked a little, and basn‘t a bit of harm in him after all. Now sir, here's one worth looking at :the pur ple faced old gentleman that gets such a shaking on the back of that rough coat and old horse, bending forward, and dropping Ins jaw so much, and followed by a ser vant. If ever you heard of the pleasant eat Judge in the Four Courts, there he is sir—old Lord Norburv. Pray glance the other way, sir, after sir Harcourt Lees—he stops at the corner of a street a good ways off, to shake hands with a gentleman—quirk and tell me if you know his friends—but they both turn up that croos-street now.

Un people celebrated mass in the chapel of Rotnole, situated in the middle of an extensive meadow. About 3 o’- clock in the day, soon after they had commenced Vespers, a violent storm arose, and the lightning striking the choir of the chapel killed four priests and two seculars. The Archpriest of Frcscarlo, aged 60, was stru k dead, but appeared sitting in the attitude of one who meditated. Near him they found upon the earth the Archpriest of Sermonva, aged 50, without any exterior wound; also a tailor aged 36 They found near the door of the choir, an individual whose appearance was that of a man who had died quietly. By the side of the pulpit lay extended upon the earth the Archpriest of Spi garalo, blackened: his bawls, and hair burnt; his clothes were in rags. Near the body appeared that of the Core Romole, in a sitting posture, the countenance expressed great pain and suffering, but no wound was visible. From late English papers. LONGEVITY OF A BEE. On Friday last, the stone masons employed in repairing the Holy Trin ity Church, (Hull.) when cutting down one of the jambs of the stone work, belonging to an old window, found a bee within an aperture, in the centre of the stone, where it is suppos ed to have been confined for at least 500 years. The insect was quite lively; indeed, attention was attract ed to the stone by its hum tiling, on a chisel being withdrawn, which had been driven into the jamb; and it would have taken flight had notone of the workmen enclosed it in a glass. After that period it gradually became mere and more torpid until Saturday j evening, w hen apparently it ceased to exist. The bee, and the fragment of the stone in wliirh if w.is discovered, are in possession of l lie work men, by whom they have been exhibited to a great number of persons. The aper tiire, in size and shape, would con tain a small pear and there Was nut the lanst seam or outlet in the stone by which air could be admitted. Hull Jldv.

A Runa way negro has been taken up, who it is supposed com mitted the act. l ast night, says the Savan nah Republican, of the 6th inst. in consequence of the fog, the steam boat Savannah, with tow boats Nos. 16 17, laden with cotton from Augusta, came to anchor about six miles above town. Nearly an hour and a half afterwards, flames burst forth from beneath the gun wales of the tow boat, No. 17, and in a short time the whole was enveloped in a blaze. The boat was immediately detach ed from the others, and run a shore.—Every exertion was made to save some portion of the cat go, but we learn that there are not exceeding 80 or 90 bales afloat in the river. ‘The remainder, with the boat are entirely consumed. The cargo, exceeded 700 bales. Prompt assistance was afforded by the steam boat Georgia, which brought the other tow boat to town, and the Savannah is engaged in picking lip the floating cotton.
