Some months since, among a detachment of the 2nd Queen's Royal Regiment of Foot, quartered at Lanes boro', was a soldier, by name Matthew Lally ; during his stay there it is thought he made himself intimately ac quainted with the occurrences which had taken place among the small farmers and landholders in a district called the Callows, in the parish of Rathcline ; for on his return to head-quarters he obtained a furlough and at once proceeded to the Callows ; and entering the house of a snug small farmer, named Lally, declared, to the utter astonishment of the old couple, that he was their son, whom they buried on a certain day, 16 years before. On their expressing their credulity, he asked them if their son, whom they supposed dead, had not a mark on him ? They said he had on his breast, on which he opened his clothes and showed them such a mark. Some of the neigh bours coming in, he called them by their names, and told them of circumstances attending his mock funeral, and of the exact " offerings" eac h o f th em gave f or masses to be said for the repose of his soul. But, to make assurance doubly sure, he insisted on his grave been searched, and his coffir taken out, which, when opened, contained not " the remains of humanity crumbling into dust and ashes," but a log bf wood. He then informed them that he was spirited away by " the good people," or fairies ; that he remained for thirteen years among them, and though mar ried to a high-up lady, was sent on earth for a season, with directions to go into the army and learn the new light infantry exercise, and to effect this object he enlisted in the 2nd or Queen's. He related to the assembled multi tude the fate of many of their friends and relatives whom he had met "in the hours of fairy revel." Satisfied now as to his being their son, he was treated as such by his bewildered parents, and presents from all around were showered upon him ; and all went on pleasant enough till one morning his new mother asked him to assist his father in the operation of planting cabbages. He willingly assented, declaring that he did not know how long he would be allowed to remain. After digging with his father for some time, the old man went in for a moment to light his pipe, And on his return the soldier had vanished " in tenuem avanuit aerem," he was nowhere to be seen— none saw him pass. Months rolled on, and the fairy man was nearly forgotten, when, to the surprise and delight of all, he again darkened his afflicted parents' door. He then stated that he had gone a long journey over the seas, with his patrons the fairies, and that to his great surprise he found himself in Mexico, teaching the soldiers of that king dom the light infantry exercise, to resist the better the Americans, then invading them ; for "it was told him he should be rich by the fairies." So satisfied were the Mexicans with his instructions, they loaded him with riches, and that now he should return to his regiment with money to purchase his discharge. He proceeded to Ath lone, and told the commanding officer that he was invo luntarily absent—that he could not depend on his not being called away again, and, tendering the purchase of his discharge, declared the Queen would get four better men than him for £2O ; the rules of the service would not allow this, so he was ordered to be tried by court martial. Of the proceedings before the court we are not aware; but this we have heard. that he brought several witnesses from the ,Callows to prove the truth of the foregoing statement, and to swear they saw him dead and buried, and had paid the " offerings " over him. What the sentence was to be has not transpired ; for on the minutes of the trial, and the extraordinary tale being submitted to the Secretary of War, he, believing the man to be insane, ordered him, on paying for it, to be discharged ; and, though we consider him " more knave than fool," still her Majesty was for tunate to get rid of one of her bad bargains. He returned to the Callows, assuming the fairy-man, foretelling events, and promising cures, thereby extracting money from the credulous infatuated poor. A tragic affair we have now to recount has added to his notoriety :—Some short time since a very honest, respect able man in his station of life, named Corrigan, steward to James Rorke, Esq., J.P., of Corina, county Longford, married the widow of a publican of the name of Killian, who had died suddenly some time ago, at the crossroads of Lissglassick, three miles from Callymahon, on the road to Longford. Corrigan proved an excellent husband, and, what was most creditable to him, an exemplary stepfather, for he lodged all the money he got with the widow of Kil lian, about £2OO, to the credit of her children by her first husband, in the bank of Longford, and it was natural to augur that many happy days were yet in stose for him, had not the fairy-man crossed his path. On Saturday, the lith of last month, he went to Mr. Rorke's farm, be yond the town of Longford, for a load of hay, leaving one of his step-daughters to transact business in Lone . narket ; on 1-. -oturn I<, heard will. ;.„i: A romance of real life in its incidents and catastrophe, far beyond the wonders of an average novel, was closed on Thursday, in the Court of Queen's Bench, by a verdict which appears to have been as gratifying to every listener as it must needs have been to the parties immediately concerned. There was no very great conflict of evidence in the matter, as the case turned entirely upon a selection between one of two probable stories, and we shall be best enabled to present thejeader with an intelligible digest of the three days' trial by assuming, as the jury did, that the tale of the plaintiffs was strictly true, and by relating it in the shape of such a continuous 9 whole as they be con structed from th e m i nu t es of the proceedings. In the year 1763 there was born, at Badwell Ash, in the county of Suffolk, Theophilus, the son of John and Eliza beth Turner, who were people in a humble rank of life, the husband being gardener to the Rev. Dr. Ord, of Forn ham St. Martin, in the same parts. As the boy gave pro mise of quicker senses than ordinary, he was sent to a vil lage school where writing happened to be taught with peculiar excellence, and subsequently, by the kindness of Dr. Ord, to some seminary at Bury St. Edmund's—very probably, as his classical proficiency is now mentioned, to the admirable old grammar school of that ancient town. It seems that the boy looked to the sea as his future pro fession, since Dr. Ord used familiarly to call him " Jack the Sailor ;" out upon some quarrel between himself and his patron he left Suffolk, and obtained, through the con tinued kindness of his friend, a situation in some school near London. This was in his youth, and from that mo ment almost up to the present day none of the Suffolk people ever heard or saw any more of their lost country man Theophilus Turner. In the year 1842, on the last day of January, there died at No. 13, Huntley-street, Brunswick-square, a gentle man of the name of John Turner, insane and intestate, leaving behind him property exceeding the value of £60,000. He had been an eccentric old gentleman, and up to a year or two before his death had been not only in possession of his faculties, but of faculties considerably above the common run of such endowments. He had been a clerk, first, in the Ordnance-office, and subse quently in the Sun Fire-office, in which establishment he conducted himself so serviceably that in 1825 he was per mitted to retire upon a pension of £2OO per annum as the reward of nearly forty years' work. He had gained prizes not only in the lottery of life, but in that less manageable lottery with which the government of those days encou raged the speculative propensities of the people, and a for tunate ticket was always understood to have blest him with something like a comfortable independence. His habits and appearance were as singular as those of wealthy single gentlemen are invariably expected to be. He wore pantaloons and powder, entered only periodically into society, and had only once changed his landlady during a space of 35 years. Though not commonly. talkative respecting , his extraction, yet he now and then dropped hints which were not forgotten, and he shewed some pre dilection for the county of Suffolk, by making an excur sion thither twice exery year for the sake of shooting, and receiving from the same quarters occasional presents of game, which were left for him at the old eastern counties house, the White Horse, in Fetter-lane, and fetched from the office with his own hands. At length, as we have said, in 1842, John Turner departed this :life, a ft er a goodly lease of it, and, in default of any next of kin, Mr. Manic, the solicitor to the Treasury, impounded his whole pro perty in behalf of the Crown. . ae heard with indignation th - at his step-daughter, hearing of the fame of the fairy soldier (then in the town of Longford), and impelled by a curi osity innate to her sex, had given the fairy half-a-crown to know the fate of her father.
