IRISH MILLIONAIRES.

[To THE EDITOR OF THE " SPEOTATOR.1 Sin,—In your article of the 23rd on "The Fascination of Money' you remark that English millionaires never do anything noble- with their money. These things are better managed in Ireland. A brewer has rebuilt one of the Dublin Cathedrals, and a distiller- is rebuilding the other. Were this done in America, all Europe- would have heard of it ; being done in Ireland, I suppose the fact- will be new to nine out of ten of your readers.—I am, Sir, &c., JOSEPH JOHN MURPHY.
