has caused good deal of whispering among certain
class Of visitors about town. more particularly the
Of the assault originated through jealousy res.
pectng the favors Of fair lady. Upon visiting Bull
ger yesterday in the Toombs we are enabled to fur
nish detailed account Of the facts and crcum-
stances leading to the violent assault. 1t appears
that Bulger and Hill are natives Of Halifax, Nova
Scotia and had been acquainted for many years past
in Boston; they boarded together at the house Of
Mr. Thatcher, No. 81 Pemberton Square, where also
boarded Mrs. Loring who now forms subject matter
between these two individuals The lady is handsome
and said to be fond of alteration but strictly correct in
her department. The two men are said to be gen.
teel, and rather good looking. mystery, however,
still exists as to why jealousy should take place
between them about the favors Of married lady.
