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
14115., oats 6d. per stone, hay 20 shillings per ton ;
groceries nearly half as cheap as some time ago; and
to assist us in our misfortunes we have pone* whis-
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
the an with almost all our country gentlemen, and
thililielikeepers without business ; the only thing to
awe or serve us in this country, is a reduction of
mots, tithes, and taxes, all of which are as high as
ever; and none of those three concerned 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 them for several years) her—the clergyman
bee not abated one penny of his tithes, and I fear
Gomasment cannot afford to give up any of the
taxes. The endeavour to keep up the price of land
by co bills, is of no use in the world to the occti:
pying farmer; it is a bill merely to increase the
sent-roll of great men at the expense, misery, and.
almost starvation of the lower orders. Was work
lessee. and provisions dear, you can 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. a
Lieutenant in his Majesty's 80th regiment of foot,.
was discovered lying dead on the road hone the
town of Gores, Ireland, to the meat of hie father J.
H. Gowan, Etc 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 Irons hint,
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 Acsise
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 of Fleurot
was anxiously looking for the return of her hus-
band, whose unusual absence filled her with tear,
when about ten o'clock his dog at 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, as if inviting her to follow him: the
woman 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
Rhone : 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 shewci,
that after having defended him at the expence of
his life, this faithful animal employed his last mu.
metals in avenging him.

stroyed by fire ou the 16th ultimo.
