On the 12th instant, at Ballynaparson, in the Pa-
rish of Upper Glanmire, in the neighbourhood of
Cork, a bull, belonging to Mr. RICIIIARD Curie, a I
respectable farmer, had been for some time back an
object of terror to that part of the country ; he had
attacked several persons, and at one tune broken in
pieces the door of a labourer's house, to get at some
people who had taken refuge there. On the day
above stated, this mischievous beast was driven into
Mr. Curia's yard with some cows, when he became
eo troublesome, that Mr. C. on coming into the yard
was cautioned against him ; he replied, that the bull
was net so bad as wakrepresented; but he had scarcely
uttered these words when the beast attacked him in
a furious manner, gored him in different places, and
is a minute or two he expired.
A most melancholy accident happened on Tuesday
morning last, at Winkfield Park, the seat of WILLIAM
BLANE, Esq.. A young Lady, Miss BLANI, daughter ,
of Sir G. &wiz, having gone out early in the morn-
ing, as she was accustomed to do, to sketch views of
the place, happened to seat herself upon a small stool,
'which she carried with her, close to the head of the
pond, and her seat being insecurely fixed, she fell from.
it into the water. The body was not found till put
ten o'clock, and as she went out soon after seven, it is
probable that it might have been some time in dell
water. Every means were. tried, and continued for
many hours, to restore animation, but unfortunately
without effect. She was a Lady in the blooni of
youth endowed with. the most rare accomplishments
and finest disposition. Her family and friends .oink'
'inconsolable.

resistance or noise, he would blow his brains out, and,
demanded his money, which Mr. Parry instantly gave
him. The villain then made off towards Bernard-
street.
