IRELAND. A curious case of breach of promise of marriage was tried in the Court of Common Pleas, on Saturday, be fore Lord Nortlibury and a respectable city jury. The p'aintitr was a widow lady, alcove 50 years of age, of the name of Hawkins, and the defendant, a gentleman of the name of Kelly, whose age was stated to be at least (15. The ludy had been married early in when she was very beautiful, to Mr. Blosset, and after hislloceasc had married Mr. Hawkins. Subsequent to the heath of the second husband, a long courtship took pht:e between her and the present defendant, and a marriage was agreed upon between them. He bor rowed $Ol. front Mrs. Hawkins tbr the purpose, as be assured her, of purchasing the wedding clothes ; and u ten 110 received the money set oft* to Limerick, and there married a Mrs. Unmet. Upon the present action being commenced, the aeftmdant wrote the plaintiff a letter, in which he threatened, that if she went to law Le would prove that she had permitted him to take the greatest and grossest liberties with her. This letter wis stated to be couched in toms so exceedingly.im proper, that the Counsel, to use the words of the noble and learned judge, in his charge to the jury, " drupt a curtain of decency upon it," and waved the reading in court, but sent it up to the jury. No, proof of the truth of the cllegations contained in this -letter were given. The main defence was levity .cf conduct in the lady ; . but nothing more was proved-it:an that she 'had been married when very young' to her first husband, who was then an elderly genthmien, and that her cha racter was freely spoken of, •'l . .tough nothing injurious to-her frame could be established. The damages were laid at 1,0001. The jury found..a verdict for the plaintiff, 2501. and Custl. DESTER.ITE ATTEMPT AT TUE CouNTY G tot, Yesterday, about one o'clock, a number of prisoners, ebieffy convicts, exceeding 190, made a sudden attack on the keepers of the prison, for the purpose of effecting their escape. flaying supplied themselves with a ..quantity of stones, which the unfinished state of the yard affinded, they commenced this rash and desperate aminpt at the door, when opened for the purpose of •distributing clean linen, &c. ; they they. began an at tack on Mr. Murphy, the keeper, amthis assistants, by a shower of stones, and succeeded in jamming the door so as to prevent its being elose4 un them, by which three of the men active ringleaders- gained the passage leading to the inner yard, but were ulnamt inotantly repulsed and secured by the e.etiyity of Garvan and Lamb, two of Mr. Murphy's Principal assistants. For tunately, at this -moment. tl•e alarm was given to the guard on duty, belonging to the 97th regiment, whose timely efforts.• enabled Mr. Murphy to compel the pri soners to return to their wards, an to secure in irons the meat active .in this mad enterprise. We cannot omit noticing the coolness and stearliness evinced by Mr. Murphy on this occasion, which prevented the loss, probably, of many lives, victims to their own rush ass.--Cork .Iciventieer, June 16. • SINGI'LI .FAca.—Mrs. Ann Davis, an old Lady, who resided in a hence of her own at Wolverhampton, died on IVednesday week.

A short time :ego, she apparently .complied, and had nearly agreed to have it taken down and rebuilt, but, reputing what she had done, she broke off the negotiation, making her general remark, that she knew it would la 4 her lime. The house fell lb: Sunday last, and buried her remains under it.
