the assemblage.

Colonel Bruen was proposed by Sir T. Butler, and
seconded by Colonel Rochfort. The lion. Mr. Pon-
sonby's nomination was proposed by Mr. Tighe, and
seconded by the Rev. Mr. Tyrell, P.P. The respec-

the meeting, the Sheriff declared the shox of hands to

was tight, " because," said the wituesss, "ho was nut in
the liquor—the liquor Tons in him."

The race of dogs called in Scotland deer hounds,
and in Ireland wolf dogs, is ❑early extinct, but it seems

have long,et hair.

mitted at all times into this magnificent and delightful villa,
but which of late
rears has become a favourite resort dur-
ing the festivities of October. The day before her illness
the Princess was seen in great beauty, health, and spirits,
playing and laughing with her children in the villa. The
three following days she was so unwell as to be confined to
her Led, but without any suspicion of danger. On the
fourth the Prince breakfasted by her bedside, and two hours
after she expired, not being quite 23 years of age.
On Monday last a meeting of the trustees of
the Middlesex and Essex turnpike-roads was held at the
Bird-in. !land, Stratford, for the purpose of letting the
tolls from the lit January next ; Sir John Henry Pelly,
Deputy Governor of the Bank, in the chair. The cit..
cumstance of the opening of the Eastern Counties Rail-
road from Shoreditch to Brentwood caused a large assem_
blade of
persons at the auction, as it was expected a great
diminution would take place. This was not the case, for
the tolls were finally knocked down to Mr. Levy at the
sum of 13.6301., the rent of the tolls for the
preceding
year being 14,7601.
We understand the necessary preliminaries to the
