The dioceses are here given according to contiguity— not rank for the Bishop of Meath has precedence of all Bishops, and next to him the Bishop of Kildare; the other Bishops according to the dates of their consecration. The Archbishop of Armagh is Lord Primate and Metropolitan of all Ireland; the Archbishop of Dublin; Lord Primate of Ireland; the Archbishop of Cashel, Lord Primate of Munster; and the Archbishop of Tuam, Lord Primate of Connaught. The Archdeacons in Ireland have no visitatorial jurisdiction; but the Bishops hold their visitations annually, and the Archbishop visits his suffragans every third year. Roman Catholic Church. FOUR ARCHBISHOPRICKS.-Taking their titles, as in the established church, from Armagh, Dublin, Cashel, and Tuam. TWENTY-TWO BISHOPRICKS.-Eight of whose Bishops are suffragans to ARMAGH: viz. those of Ardagh, Clogher, Derry, Down and Connor, Dromore, Kilmore, Meath, and Raphoe. Three, suffragans to DUBLIN: viz. Leighlin and Ferns, Kildare, and Ossory. Six, suffragans to CASHEL: viz. Ardfert and Aghadoe, Cloyne and Ross, Cork, Killaloe, Limerick, and Waterford and Lismore. Four, suffragans to TUAM: viz. Achonry, Clonfert, Elphin, and Killala. One, alternately suffragan to Tuam and Cashel-the Bishop of Kilmacduagh and Kilfenora. The revenues of the catholic sees are, beyond all comparison, inferior to those of the establishment: indeed, scarcely adequate to the decent maintenance of their several Bishops.

Approached at this early hour, the view is singularly beautiful. Entering the capacious bay, whose points. are, to the northward the promontory of Howth, and to the southward Dalkey Island, the city appears immediately in front; and, if the smoky clouds have not yet enveloped it, though it must seem wanting in steeples and other evelated buildings, it is a pleasing and interesting object. On the left of the bay is seen a rich well-cultivated bank, covered with villages and cottages, and extending from the suburbs to the rocky isle of Dlakey, crowned with a martello tower: among the villages we clearly discover Bullock with its antique castle, Dunleary, and Black-rock: behind them the eye wanders over a delightful variety of villas, woods, and pastures, spread over a country, whose surface, |
