Extract of a letter from the County Tipperary,
dated April 18, 1821. " Nothing particular in the
way of news—provisions are tolerably cheap, which
is what enables the people to exist, in the present
scarcity of money. Beef three-pence and mutton
four-pence per lb. ; pork twopence-halfpenny, eggs
five tbr one penny, potatoes one penny per stone of
141b5., oats Gd. per stone, hay 2G shillings per ton ;
groceries nearly half as cheap as some time ago ; and
to assist us in our misfortunes we have pollen whir.
key in great plenty at six shillings per gallon. The
farmers are all ruined, the gentlemen not able to,
pay the interest of the• money they owe, which is•
tke case with almost all our country gentlemen, and
the shopkeepers without business ; the only thing to
save or serve us in this country, is a reduction of
rents, tithes, and taxes, all of which are as high as
ever ; and none of those three concern Al inclined
to come down one penny, The landlords, with few,
very few exceptions, are extorting the last penny,
and selling every beast the tenant (who has been-
under theta for several years), has—the clergyman
has not abated one penny of his tithes, and I fear
Government cannot afford to give up any of the
taxes. The endeavour to keep up the price of land
by corn-bills, is of no use in the world to the occu-
pying farmer; it is a bill merely to increase the•
rent-roll of great men at the expense, misery, and
almost starvation of the lower orders, Was work
scarce, and provisions doer, you caw from yourself
form a good idea of what a miserable way we should
be in."

A few days since the body of J. Gowen, Esq,
Lieutenant in his Majesty's 80th regiment of foot,
was discovered lying dead on the road from the
town of Goree, Ireland, to the seat of his father J.
H. Gowan, Esq in the county of Wexford, but
without any external marks of violence, from which

circumstance great doubts were entertained as to the
manner of his death ; but its having been since
clearly ascertained that at the time he set out from

home he had about him a silver hunting watch, a
morocco pocket-book containing notes to a large
amount, and a purse containing. several gold sove-
reigns, which had been evidently taken from him,
as his pockets were turned inside out, there can be

no doubt that he fell a victim to the sanguinary
disposition of some wretch who knew of Mr. Gowan,
carrying property about him to such an amount.
A cause was lately tried by the Court of Assize
of Ain, in France, in which an assassin of a man
named Fleurot, was condemned on evidence not un-
like that of the famous Dog of Montargis. The
circumstances were these:—The wife cf Fleurot

was anxiously looking tim the return of her hus-
band, whose unusual absence filled her with tear,
when about ten o'clock his dog in rived, covered with
wounds and stabs, especially in the belly, where his
bowels protruded. He laid his fore-paws on his
mistress, whined mournfully, licked her, and went
to the door, us it' inviting her to follow him: the
WOUlall instantly conceived that her husband had

been murdered, and gave herself up to the guidance
of the dog, which conducted her to the place where
the crime had been committed, and expired. The
next morning the hat of Fleurot was found near the
Kamm : the spot where he had had his last contest
with the assassin was much trodden; the trace of
men and a dog struggling were very evident ; the
rags with which the ground was strewed bore testi-
mony to the courage with which the dog had fought
for his master; and his wounds and death shewed,
that after having defended him at the expense of
his life, this faithful animal employed his last tut).
meats in avenging him.
