A DEVONSHIRE SCANDAL.—Some seandal has
been excited at Dawlish, owing to the disappearance
of a lady under strange circumstances. The lady in ques-
tion, who is related to some of the most respectable families
of the county, is perhaps 28 years of age, and fir nine years
has been the wife of a gentleman to whose name a courtesy
title is prefixed. The family of the lady for at least
20 years past has resided near Dawlish, and since her
marriage the lady and her husband have divided
their patronage between the metropolis and Devonshire.
In Exeter, Teignmouth, Torquay, and every adjacent town,
the lady is well known as the prettiest, most fascinating
danseise at all public and private balls, and as ono who
did out-Nimrod Nimrod in the chase. Never did belle
more firmly sit in saddle or more gallantly take the
hedges of the country side. Of her liega lord less can be
said, for he was never particularly prominent in cover or
fight. But on Tuesday week on returning home to dine
ho missed his wife. No one seemed to know whither she
had gone, or had seen her since morning ; and as evening
wore away much anxiety and suspicion were felt. Inquiries
were made, but to little purpose. She had not left from the
Dawlish railwaystation, and thoughthere were reports that
she had been seen walking towards Starcross and to the
Warren, nothing definite was ascertained. But suspicion
evidently was more prevalent than alarm, and so the matter
was kept dark, and the husband, having
started on Friday toExoter, and thence towards London, and
has not yet returned. But obtained a clue,
people have talked very freely,
in connection with the affair, of a dashing young man of
foreign name, attractive appearance,
and large wealth (also
married), who some two years ago was staying in the
vicinity attending on an invalid father, and who has since
ever and anon turned up at balls and parties, and as a
visitor at the house from which our heroine departed on the
9th. He has not been seen in
the neighbourhood since,
and there are ugly stories afloat as to his having been the
cause of sundry domestic jars, at one of which, on Satur-
day week,tears and denials were lavishly used in the presence
of a brother from North Devon, who attended " by request."
