HYDROPHOBIA. —The death of John Wilson, Esq., of Barns-
towni county of Kildare; on Thursday week; is as severe a do-
-11-11t, calamity as has ever come tinder our ;twice. Mr.
Wilson had, it appears, a favourite dog, which was missing
for some days in May last; at length he received information
that it was in an adjoining field, and on going cut two of his
labourers warned him not to approach the dog, as they be-
lieved it was mad; but the dog when he saw his master,
ran towards him, and frisked about his feet in a most
friendly manner. Mr. Wilson, concluding from this that
the animul was not mad, took it up in his arms, and
unfortunately allowed it to lick his hands, on one of
which there was a small and unhealed cut or sore.
The circumstances escaped from Mr. Wilson's mind, and no-
thing more was thought of the matter until the Sunday before
last, when after prayers he felt a pain in ane of his arms (that
on which the sore was), which continued to increase in vio-
lence until the evening, when hydrophobia set in with dread-
ful malignity. He died on Thursday, the 16th, after four days
of unremitting and most severe suffering. Mr. Wilson was a
fine young man in the prime of life, possessing a good pro-
perty, and the affectionate esteem of all his neighbours, with
whom his frank and friendly manners rendered him a deserved
favourite.—Leinster Express.

HORRIBLE AND MYSTERIOUS MURDER.-An inquest was held
on Thursday at the Arran-quay station-house, Church-street,
before Alderman Perrin, one of the city coroners, and a re-
spectable jury, on the body of an infant of two years old, named
John Touche, who came by his death under circumstances the
most revolting and atrocious.
The evidence of Letitia Acadia, one of the witnesses ma-
n i :el by the Coroner, appears to contain the facts of the case.
After being sworn she deposed as follows :—Was godmother
to the deceased ; be was given to her some time back to nurse;
his father is in a bad state of health, and his mother left him
when lie was only seven weeks old, he being an illegitimate
child ; her intention was to send him to the Foundling Hos-
pital, and would have done so, had she not heard of a man in
the neighbourhood that went by the name of Mr. Garrick, and
represented himself as a monk belonging to a Carmelite mo-
nastery in Belskadden, who was in the habit of taking, for a
small consideration, deserted children into his care, and rear-
ing and educating them till they arrived at manhood ; she, wit-
ness, made some inquiries, and found that this' person had
two children under his care, who were similarly situated ;
she accordingly went to him, and asked what sum would be
necessary to put the deceased under his protection, and he re-
plied that he would be content with anything she could get for
him ; witness then made a collection among her friends, and got
together the sum of 101., some of which she gave to Garrick,
on his taking the deceased into his house, He.( Garrick) was
introduced to her by Miss Meyler, of Michael' and John's
schools, and it was in consequence of her recommendat.on she
gave him the child. Garrick lived at No. 15, John- street,
and was in the habit of going about making collections for
monasteries. Everybody in the neighbourbood considered
him a monk, and his mild, angelic countenance and clerical
dress, left no doubt on the minds of his neighbours that he
was such. The deceased was in perfect health when shegave
him to Garrick on last Saturday month. On the occasion of
his taking the deceased with him, he brought one of the little
boys he had under his care, named James Howlin, to- carry
him home. He (Garrick) then told her that she should pay
him a visit to the convent ere long. He was frequently in the
habit of breakfasting with her at her house, No. 331, Wil-
liam-street. He did so on Wednesday, the 'l6th of This
month, and again on Wednesday the 23d. On the- former
occasion he spoke to witness, on hearing her child cry, what
a fine boy his little son was—that he was always in good hu-
mour, and never cried by any chance. He did not mention
his name at all on Wednesday the 23d, the last time he visited
him, nor did she (witness) think of enquiring for him.
The examination of the witnesses having terminated, the
jury, without a moment's delay, returned the following vet.,
diet—" That the deceased came by his death in consequence
of the cruel treatment inflicted on him by Thomas Garrick."
This wretch has represented himself as being deputed from
the Carmelite Monastery in Belskadden, in the county of
Meath, where no such establishment ever existed.

Yesterday, immediately after the guns had announced the
accouchement of the Duchess of Orleans and the birth of a
Prince, the members of the municipal body of Paris, consist-
ing of the Prefect of the Seine, and M. Gabriel Delessert,
Prefect of Police, and Counsellor of State, the Secretaries-
General of the two Prefectures, the members of the Munici-
pal Council, and the Mayors and the Deputy Mayors of the
twelve arondissements of Paris, assembled in the grand hall
of the Hotel de Ville, which had been prepared for their re-
ception. In a few minutes afterwards, Baron Athalin, first
Aide-de-camp to the King, was announced, and was received
at the foot of the grand staircase by the Secretary-General of
the department, who then introduced him in the usual form
into the grand hall, where a chair of honour had been pre-
pared for him, between the Prefect of the Seine and the Pre-
sident of the Municipal Council. Baron Athalin then deli.
vered to the Prefect of the Seine an autograph letter from the
King, addressed to the municipal body of Paris, and couched

in the following terms:—
" Gentlemen of the Municipal Body of the City of Paris,—
" I lose no time in announcing to you myself, that the Duchess
of Orleans, my well-beloved daughter-in-law, has just given
birth to a Prince, who, thanks to Providence, is well. It is

my wish that my eldest son's offspring shall bear the title of
the Count de Paris. The municipal body will lam convinced
participate in my joy, and in that of the Queen, my son,
and my whole family. I feel pleasure in assuring each of
you that this auspicious event is doubly dear to my heart,
as it presents an additional guarantee for the stability of our
institutions, and the security of all, and as in forming a new
bond of union between us it affords me an opportunity of giv-
ing to my native city a striking proof of the regard which
I feel, and shall ever feel for it.
" Yours, affectionately,
( Signed) " LOUIS PHILIPPE.
" Paris, August 24, 1838."
The reading of this letter having been received with loud and
prolonged acclamations of " Vice le Roi," " Vies le Comte de
Paris," the Members then separated with a notice from the
Prefect of the Seine to re-assemble in their ordinary place of
meeting, in order to deliberate on a communication to be im-
mediately supmitted to them. In consequence of this the meet-
ing took place without delay, and the municipal council by a
majority of 14 to 13, as the Sieele informs us, voted a sword
of 35,000 f. value to be presented to the Count de Paris, and
175,000 f. for the rejoicings on this occasion and at the christ-
ening of the Royal infant. The distribution made to indigent
families by the city of Paris was also orJered to be increased
one-third. Galignani's Messenger.

LATEST NEWS FROM PORTUGAL.

(From a Second Edition of the Morning Post.)
LISBON, AUG. 21.—The result of the Lisbon elections is
not yet known. The city returns are complete, but those from
the various districts of this electoral circle are not yet fully
ascertained ; many think that none of the candidates will have
the absolute majority over the whole number of votes, and that
a second scrutiny will be resorted to ; others, on the other
hand, imagine that when we obtain the whole of the returns
from the neighbouring country towns and villages, a sufficient
number of votes will have been secured by the S.-st 36 out of
92 candidates who have been proposed to the electors for the
Senate and the Chamber of Deputies, and that the opinions
of these 36 gentlemen will be found to stand thus-16 of the
Chartist party, 10 of the Government party, and 8 of the
Arsenal or ultra• Liberal party. I cannot but think that most
of these anticipations will prove incorrect. Meanwhile the
Porto stearher has arrived from that place with letters to the
19th, which communicate the following -as the names of the
Senators and Deputies returned by that province, viz. :

MR. GEORGE ROLINS' VISIT TO

DEVON.

This celebrated auctioneer has visited our beautiful county
this week, for the purpose of submitting two or three estates to
the attention of the public, and as he is one of the lions of
the day, and neither an ephemeral nor a second rate cue,
our readers will expect a passing notice of his visit. First,
as to the physique of this great man. Mr. Robins stands
about five feet eleven inches high, or it may be six feet. He
is rather stout, but not more so than doth become a man of
his Vending. His gait is easy, and his voice rich and unctuous
of humour. His cheeks arc florid, his countenance is open
and candid; his eye is a lively piercer, with as merry a
twinkle as you ever saw, and does nearly as much as his
tongue, as it moves about the room in search of the Bidder-
family—those calculating boys, whom it delights to throw off
their guard, and by its mystic twinkle set them bobbing with
that gentle inclination of the sad, which combines all the grace
of the Chinese mandarin with the epiet force of the English ca-
pitalist ; and which the immortal man desTribed at Teignmouth
as the most amiable motion that the human fraiv.e can produce.
It is a wonderful eye, and where it fixes its gaze, stet, must be
the resolution that yields not to its bidding. But these are
but the instruments of his genius, and not the genius of
George Robins itself. He is essentially a poet—who can not
only 4. give to airy nothing a local habitation and a name"—
where is the poet who cannot do that—but he can place music
in the streams, and harmony in the scenes over which the car
and the eye may have dwelt for years, and discovered nought
but barrenness. His mind is wholly of a generous caste—he
heightens natural beauties with the sun-shine of his rich unapt'.
ings ; and if, as in this mixed world there must be some set-
offs and blemishes in the richest scenes—he quietly passes
them over with a forgiving spirit, that would scorn to mar the
glowing picture which his fancy has created before you by any
details of that character. If his sketch has a church in it,
peaceful are the moments of tranquil devotion that the " fu-
ture purchaser"—the only man that he truly respects—will
enjoy in this highly favoured spot. Is there a water-fall on
the domain, its roar is the most musical in the known world.
Is there a wood, it is the most leafy and umbrageous that ever
poet imagined, or the creation sported. The skies are always
cloudless with him—" eternal sun-shine settles on his head."
For the notice of the Teignmouth Sale, wd prefer giving
the note of our own local correspondent—himself a poet, and
therefore meet reporter to gather up the honey drops dis-!illed
from the tongue of our hero, to wit :
