Our correspondent says—" Prigg's able is at soya involvai
mystery as ever: certain parties are extremely active in prepassib,
the report that he is still alive, and on his way to America- ; -and;
was said that his mane had been seen entered nn the books at Lire&
pool, as having taken his passage. These reports have also cep.
in some of the Papers : in consequence of which the togitg.
ErsreOlf linaresbro' thought proper to wnte to the proper authorities
at Liverpool, respecting the entry of the name; and their num
is, that no such entry has taken place. Illy own opinion remains
unchanged—that t'rigg is murdered. Even supposing the stories
about his difficulties to be really true, it dotes not follow dm
man is to harrow up the feelings of his family by so strange s
departure ; autl surely his relatives have affliction enough wiahota
the activity of certain persona to propagate rumours without jut;
grounds.
" All search for the bodice of Mary Gill and ha child has been
given up as hopeless; and the current opinion now ice, that ths
bodies have been consumed by fire.
" The privations consequent on the long tumour of the wearers
here, added to the la.c unhealthy weather, have caused a won ea.
traordinary mortality in this place."—Lreds Mercury.

POLICE OFFICE, Cone.—A recent elopement from the
neighbourhood of Kinsale, between &Miss R— anda3lr. 31—,
has been the subject of investigation at this office for the last two
days; when it appeared, that the parties having been married/re-
cording to the established law at Cloyne, and the lady being re-
ported as no more than fourteen or fifteen yearn of age, her pliant
companion, to avoid further proceedings, has consented to a deed
of separation. It appears, that previous to the flight, the fair act
had provided bonds, leases, and other transferable articles, to an-
swer as ways and means necessary foe such an uudeztaking—Cork
Ilfereary.
Ma. C o NOI.I.V.—A t'orrespondent, who has just arrived
from Hertford, has furnished the following particulars relative is
the unfortunategentleman, Mr. Conolly :,—" On his way from the
Court-house to the gaol, after the sentence had been passed upca
hint, he wept toccssant!y, and said to 31r. Wilton, " hat 'dread-
ful sentence!" and inveighed strongly ageism the harshness of it.
On his reaching the prince!, he was ironed, and placed is one of
the cells next the one appropriated for condemned prisoners. Ile
wart visited by his brother and several friends, and the interview
between him nutt the homer was truly affecting. Conotly appaired
greatly depressed the whole of the day, but when evening came, be
appeared more collected. On Sunday he attended Divine Wor-
ship, and the intervals he appmpriated to writing letters to ha
to his wife, relatives, and friends, taking a farewell of those whom
distance prevented from paying a personal visit. On his return
from the Chapel, it was intimated to bins that it would be necessary
for him to make ininualiate prsparatisms for his removal to the
hulks, as an order had arrived directing he should speedily be sent
oft: He was much hurt at the tidings, and proceeded to arrange
accordingly. It is understood that extensive preparations are to be
made fur his comfort during the voyage, by his friends, in the event
of an appeal to the Privy Council, fur a mitigation of the sentence,
not being attended with success. Mr. Noel, bis solicitor, is busily
engaged ia preparing a positiarrfbediatparpose."
