ufed by the Dublin bakers, as they have been long aware of the difguftful tafte it gave to the bread, as well as the injury it received in its appearance. And in confequence of repeat ed loffes they fuftained by ufing this copperas barm, with the ftudied infults and delays, they received from the half chemifts and half brewers, they undertook to have a barm made in a manner where poisonous ingredients were as unneceffary as difadvantageous; as nothing but pure corn will anfwer in the procefs they have adopted, to protect them felves against the poifons as well as against the infolence of the brewers. The legislature has enacted laws to difcourage the too frequent ufe of ardent fpirits, and intended that the public should have a found and nourishing drink, made from pure malt, but this care of the legislature has been rendered ufelefs, to any one but to the brewere, who fill continue to fport with the laws, and traffic in the health of their fellow citizens. It was not medicine for the fick, nor poifon for the ftrong, the legiflature intended, when it liberally encouraged brewing, at the expenfe of diftillation. It was real undifguifed malt drink was the object, not liquorice-ball water, infufions of coriander feed, cochylus, burnt molaffes, and Copperas, It was brewers not apothecaries the law intended to patronize. We have to acknowledge there is a brewery in Ufher Street, that cannot be charged in any manner with practising any of thefe dangerous acts to which se allude, but this may be accounted for, as the proprietor is a gentle man, and embarked in the bufi nefs with a princely fortune, which he has generously applied to fupport the character of the Irish brewing trade: whereas the other brewers were taken from the very rabble, fuch as common porters, journeymen bakers, and other of the very lowest of our mechanies, and by superior application of chemical inge nuity, have arrived to greater opulence than any other trademen in the country. We will at other convenient opportunities fay more on thể brewing trade. ROYAL MANUFACTORY NAPOLÉON, PRINCIPAL.

Premature derangement in living monarchs cured, by the magnanimous Alexander, who is at present fettling the head of his Swedish majefty, it having fuftained confiderable damage under the hands of an English trepanner. ALDERMANIC OBITUARY. IN Capel Street, Alderman Vance; this man was a grocer by trade, and paffed through the different degres of municipal honours, with fome eclat among his brethren, His unequalled talents at the table, had no rival in the Corporation fince the days of Alderman Swettenham, of whom it is proud ly faid, that before habitual intemperance had impaired his great powers, could at one meal difpatch a well grown turkey, and a moderate fized pair of twin fucking pigs. But for weight at the trencher, or measure at the bottle, poor Vance had often carried off the palm of victory from any cotemporary, who had the hardihood to enter the lifts on a regular feeding conteft. Within the laft leven or eight wears, his friends at the board, beheld with deep regret, the bealth, appearance, and appetite of their friend, in a rapid ftate of decline, Fond remembrance reanimates the feftive city board, when it dwells on the well-fed hero, and his dexterity at difpofing of rabbits and wild fowl, but a melancholy dullness fufpends the paf fing of the circling glafs, when the late reverses in his appetite touch the generous ear. Since the loft days of health he has alternately and eating, tried goats whey and port wine, one to restore his health and the other his fpirits, but the latter pleafant medicine had been fo often applied, that the other made. but little progrefs, either in allaying the flying pains of the gout, or quenching the flame that devoured his face, which always appeared fo highly ignited, that it required eyes of eagle ftrength, to infpect even his nofe, without encountering a very difagreeable and painful fenfation. 101 KING'S BENCH.

The rain pours down-the city looks forlorn, So oft has black revenge engrofs'd the care, From CAIN to STEWART, and back from STEWART to CAIN. Io guilt alike, and more alike in fate; Go, fecond Judas, true likeness of the first, 66 Elfe why thefe fcenes that wound the feeling mind, Oh! could I paint the paffions I can feel, I'd fend a torture, and relieve mankind. Since then no hopes to civilize remain, And all petitions have gone forth in vain, One prayer is left, which dreads no proud reply, ly dis, SINNE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE IRISH MAGAZINE. MR.
