Tits BUDS WITH Two Disozeitooss.--Tho
carious cdrcumstaime, is the subject of soatersatioe amongst
the gossips of Lewisham aid ihydsabans, and the vicinity,
where all the parties are kaown. A young lady of great' men-
tal and immoral attractions, wanbethrothed to a young 111 n
of her own rank in life. The day was fixed, and the ring
bought that was to unite them. In the interim the lady bad to
vi•it a friend at Walsworth, and availed herself of one of the
days upon wkich Camberwell fair was held fur that purpose.—
The kindness of her friends, and the amusements of the fair,
detained her longer than she intended. lint still she was de-
termined to get to Sydenham, ■rd proceed homewards. She
was shortly overtaken by a stout young man, in the working
dress of a bricklayer, and it being now dark, she determined
to keep up with. The bricklayer addressed her civilly, told
her how far be was going, and otTered her hi■ protection,
which she accepted. In short the lady arrived safe at house,
and the honest layer of bricks and mortar proceeded on his
journey. The evening previous to she knot being to be tied
between the heroine and her intended husband, w►ile walking
together in the fields, perhaps laying down plans for their
future comfort and happiness, they were met by a young gen
denials unknown to either of them, who acco ted the lady by
name, inquired after her health, and hoped clue felt no Hi-
rt:feels Irons the night damp in walking house from Camberwell
fair a few nights ago.—This address greatly emb d the
lady, and threw all the thoughts of jealous Othello into the
mind of her lover, who abruptly questioned his bride as to her
being at the fair witheut Lis knowledge The lady could not
deny the fact, but denied ever having seen the stranger;
while he persisted that he not only raw her at the fair, but
conducted her safe home from it. The green-eyed monster had
now got complete possession of the bridegroom ; and after
upbraiding the brides infidelity, and threateuing th • stranger
with his vengeance, he rushed sway, leaving Ler in the care
of the gentleman. The lady'► .c:isiress was really indescrib-
able. To be suspected of improper conduct could not by an
innocent mind be brooked; but to be so by her future huehand,
and left by him under the care of a stranger, was beyond suf-
fering. The stranger, after trying to soothe her mind as much
as possible, is reported to have said, " the person who has
now left you, madam, is undeserving of your hand, since he
doubts your honour. I have seen and loved you for these two
years, although my humble rank prevented me the happiness of
conversing wish you, until escorting you home from Camber-
well fair, For you must be pleased to know that I was the
gallant bricklayer, as you kindly termed me, when you shook
me by the hand on your getting safely to the gate, or that
occasion•" The yow; laity bad now a perfect recollection of
his voice stud person, although the latter was altered bye dif
ferent dress—but still her mind was in the greatest agitation ;
and when she was about to speak, lice protector interrupted
her, vit6 saying—" Since 1 conveyed you !same from Cain-
[Amen, my uncle, who was a buiLter, died, nod left me as
income of 7001. per annum. I- am besides well acqnniated
with his business. You are a- bride now, and were to be
married to-morrow. You must ooutinue so fur twodsys longer
than was intended this murrung, to enable me to get a licence
with my name inserted therein us the bridegroom. On account
' of your character the delay cannot exceed the time I have
I mentioned, and I shall not take soy denial. I shall see you
home to-night, sod explain myself at large to you and to your
mother." MI which was done, and the gallant bricklayer is
now the happy husband of an excellesd young lady ; wh le the
origins: bridegroom must feel much mortified.

bout five o'clock on Thoraday morning
(19th inst.) a Hireling took place near the tairripike, on this
Cork road, a small distance west of Waterford, between Mr.
Barron, of William-street, in that city, and Mr. Charles Eyre,
a lieutenant in the lst Royals, quartered there ; the former at-
tended by Dr. Alrook, the latter by an officer belonging to the
same corps. The parties discharged two shots each : in the
second lire, Mr. Barron.* ball passed through the fleshy part of
Lieutenant Eyre's right thigh, and lodged in his left, fracturing
• part of the thigh bone ; but we are happy to leer• the ball
was extracted on the spot by Dr. Alcoek, the second of Mr.
Barron, and that the wound, though serious, was not considered
of a very dangerous nature. On Mr. Eyre's falling, Mr. Bar-
ron left the ground without making any observation ; arid after
the ball had been extracted, Mr. Eyre was carried home to the
barrack by • party of hie regiment, on • litter. We under..
stand that the duel originated in the dis:outiuuanc• of some at-
tentions, on the part of Lieutenant Eyre, to a lady who is a
cousin to Mr. Barron.

WOIEVES.—On the 9th inst about !seven in the
evening, a furious wolf sprang upon a child, lire years of age,
near the great rood of Ponderer's, at Si. La , (Deport-
ment of Ain), Andrew Monier, who was at work with his wife
iira Geld adjoining, hearing the cries of the child, ran to his
assistance, and found the wolf bad pulled the boy down. A
struggle ensued, and the animal having lacerated the child's.
head, left Lim, and turned upon Monier. The roan, who was
robo,t, was not however able to bring down his ferocious enemy
—but during the combat Monier's wife uttered screams, which
brought several persons, who made the animal run about four
hundred yards, where he wog destroyed by the blow of an
iron bar, given by • young man. Monier had the small linger
of Isis left bond torn oil. The child had the upper part of his
eye dreadfully lacerated. The eye is lost. The day this un-
fortunate accident happened, several wolves were seen on tlie
banks of the Saone, and much mischief was done in the envi-
rons of Ponderaus.

Lord Bolingbroke used to say, that the greatest
conapliinent which could be paid to any English gentlemen re-
turced from his travels, was to say of him `. that- liobody who
saw him him could think be had ever been abroad, but that
every body who bulked with him would think he was a native
of the countries he had visited ;" and there is good sense.
though • little exaggerated, in the oliserration.
