Berkeley, George, 1684-1753
Bishop of Cloyne; born in Kilcrin, Kilkenny, Ireland, March 12, 1684; was educated at Trinity College, Dublin; became a Fellow there; and at an early age wrote on scientific subjects.
Between 1710 and 1713 his two famous works appeared, in which he denies the existence of matter, and argues that it is not without the mind, but within it, and that that which is called matter is only an impression produced by divine power on the mind by the invariable laws of nature.
On a tour in France he visited the French philosopher Malebranche, who became so excited by a discussion with Berkeley on the non-existence of matter that, being ill at the time, he died a few days afterwards.
Miss Vanhomrigh (Swift's Vanessa ) bequeathed to Berkeley $20,000: and in 1728 his income was increased $5,500 a year by being made Dean of Derry.
Berkeley conceived a plan for establishing a college in the Bermudas for the instruction of pastors for the colonial churches and mission

Battle of the "Cats."
--The adoption of a feline title for contending armies, would, we imagine, seriously impair the grandeur and dignity of mighty hosts on a field of battle.--History may speak glowingly of a Hon-hearted soldiery, and even refer in terms of eloquence to the dogs of war; but what pen so bold as to undertake the task of writing a narrative of the Battle of the Cats?
We have an example, it is true, in the famed cats of Kilkenny; but even here the historian tells us only that they ate each other up, and no catacomb encloses the remains of the carnivorous quadrupeds.
The world might look in vain for human examples to place in this category, if it were not for the eccentric taste of the small boys of Richmond, who, in years past, established sectional hostilities, and adopted the name of "Cats." Thus we had Basin Cats, Hill Cats, Butchertown Cats, and other cats as numerous as the various localities of the town, and many were the catastrophes resulting from the dee
General Lamoriciere Going to Inland. General Lamoriciere has accepted an invitation to visit Kilkenny, Ireland.
Preparations are making to give him a brilliant reception, and the Kilkenny Journal says that "from the moment when he sets foot on Irish soll to the moment he leaves it, his route will be a series of ovations which may rouse the envy of a king."

The Sirge of Matamoras
--The Fight Still Going On.--From a Brownsville (Texas) letter in she Houston Telegraph we extract the following:
Our neighbors on the other side are still maintaining their Kilkenny cat and pop-gun fight.
This is the fifteenth day of the slege, and both sides remain in about the same position as on the first day. We hear daily of reinforcements and cannon coming, first for one side and the for the other; but really I believe that they have all the force either can raise.
Later.--The San Antonio News has received the Brownsville Flag, of the 12th--one week later than we have had — and from it obtains intelligence up to the 22d day of the slege of Matamoras:
The drama had continued as it commenced — can non and small arms day by day, with change of scene by the burning of buildings by night.
We have no account of the killed and wounded, as the hospital has been removed to the other side of the rive
