DUBLIN GOSSIP, OCT. i I

The departure of Lord- Wellesley horn this
country is expected to take place forthwith ; antl
as the "-Court," under the new regime, is anti-
cipated to. be very gay, the milliners, and such
other artists, are making note of joyous prepara-
tions. Ground has advanced three or four hun-
dred per cent. in value in the neighbourhood of
Kingstown, on the strength of a piece of informa-
tion derived from the intimate friend of a valued
acquaintance of his future Excellency's valet
viz., _that the Marquis intends to build a Pavilion
a-la-mode Brighton, and in it to spend the sum-
mer months during his Vice-royalty. Already'
the movements of Lord Anglesey have been ar-
'ranged fully to the satisfaction of the good-na-
tured people in..this quarter, who trouble them-
selves about other persons' businesS. There arc
to be balls and drawing-rooms, and aquatic e)4-
cursions, andjetes cliampetres, and• yacht clubs,
and horse races, and every other sedative ,that
can be devised by the magnifiques to delight and
gratify the natives..
Tlie'Rev Mr. Hanson, of Brighton, whoje
disappearance I mentioned to you some months
since, has been found: I-1e is a very lucky man
indeed to revive . after being murdered .by air
Orange newspaper ! It was written down by this-
retailer of truths, that Mr. Hanson, a Protestant
cleroman—,, there's the rub"—has disappeared
suddenly ; and that no doubt whatever remained
that he was murdered barbarously by some fero-
cious Papist. .An apostrophe to the sufferings
of the establishment, and its professors, followed
the relation of this " fact."

I lament to notice the perpetration of what, in
contradistinction to the foregoing, is a real
murder in the county of Tipperary. A man
named Flood, was returning to his home in the
neighbourhood of Cashel ; when Gn the common
he was inhumanly assailed and murdered by re-
peated blows on the posterior part of the head.
This horrible deed originated, it is said, in re-
venge. It is stated that the deceased, some years
since, took a farm " over the bead," as the phrase
is, of some other occupant, and that they were
then dispossessed and turned on the world, and
finally avenged their injury in the immolation of
their victim.

A horrible circumstance occurred in Limerick
this week. A shopkeeper had an altercation
with -his wife. A neighbour interposed when he
was about to
.strike her, and reProached him with
toi uos s:e;
his unmanliness. He affected to be ashamed of

his conduct, and evinced a desire to be recon-

wined her lips towards him. A sudden shriek
was perceived that the ruffian, under
of kissing his wife, had bitten off her lip. The
lip was completely torn off. The miscreant
walked deliberately into the street, still keepi •ng
the bleeding flesh in his, mouth.; and when he
was outside the hall door, he discharged it from
him, saying with a villainous sneer that he " had
spoiled her kissing !"
In the neighbourhood of the forementioned
occurrence, a woman named Ryan, was discovered
hanging; but not being long suspended, anima-
tion; after some time being spent, was restored.
The cause assigned for this daring net was vari-
ously represented. Some of her friend's said it
was " love," others assured the bystanders it was
" whiskey," whilst more, and those who received
the greatest credit, affirmed her• complaint was
" Want of money." A country editor, who notices
these sort of matters, innocently expresseS a hope
that " the check or chuck she has received, will
give her•a disrelish for a second course of the
same 'kind." •
