1 tion to officiate as Chaplain to the Neapolitan Ambassador in London Here he continued seven years, and was much admired as a preacher by those who attended his Excellency's chapel. He afterwards removed to Dablin, and lived a retired and studious life with his friends two years. The result of his enquiries was a change in his religious sentiments, which he openly avowed in the parish church of St. Peter's, Dublin. From this time he became a frequent preacher, and so powerful was his eloquence that he was constantly followed by crowds of hearers of all persuasions. As an advocate for charity he was irresistible; and the Asylum for destitute female orphans, at Dublin, was raised from a feeble to a most flourishing state, solely by his exertions in the pulpit. For this institution the sum of 15,00l. was received at one collection; a larger contribution than ever was before offered, we believe at one time, on the altar of charity by a Christian congregation. But Mr. Kirwan's exertions were not confimed to the patronage of this asylum; occasionally many other of the charitable institutions of Dublin have acknowledged the success of his appeals to the public in their favour. The school of his own parish in particular was greatly benefited by them. From being a receptacle for a few wretched children, it has grown to be a respectable seminary for a large distret. Dr. Fowler, the late Archbishop of Dublin, presented Mr. Kirwan to the living of St. Nicholas without, in that ciry; and Marquis Cornwallis rewarded his merits with the deanery of Killala. It is said that more than 50,0001. have been collected and applied for the support and education of friendless children, by the exertions of this celebrated preacher, and querce of this popular divine; but in our fourth volume, page 376, there is a feeble sketch of a Charity Sermon by him, taken from a public print.
