VIEW IN ST. PATRICKS, DUBLIN.- It has been the complaint of some writers, notably the English traveller, Thomas Cromwell, whose "Excursions Through Ireland" were published in 1820, that many of the statues and other memorials in St. Patrick's Cathedral were inconsequential and some of them poorly executed. Nearly eighty years have passed away since that criticism was written, and St. Patrick's has been renovated and restored by the bounty of the late Benjamin Lee Guinness.
