How the ucfrcss To an English Estate
was DtscOycrcd.

The hciress long missing IN Dublin has
been found, and curious accounts are
given OF her adventures. Ii seems that I'm
1857 a baronct, who lived in the midland
counties OF England. had two sons, the
elder OF whom became cnamorcd OF his
fathers cook. and ut length secretly married
her on the 18th OF November. 1859. The
pair proceeded 30 Dublin, where, early in
the following January. she gave birth TO
daughter. Being apparently DESTROYS that
the fact should not become known she de-
tcrmincd IL desert the infant, and accord
ingly on the 2ith OF that mouth she went
10 kingstown, made inquiries, and asccr-
tanned the name Of person who bad the
reputation OF being q good-hearted and
well-to-do woman. The mother re-
turned TO Dublin and went again to
Kingstown in the evening. carrying
her baby with her. and at half-past
O'Clock she left the child on Ne door
step Of the house OF the person whose adj
dress she had previously ascertained. The
infant was well wrapped up in two COM
plctc outfits of clothing, and concealed IN
one Of IT, wrappers was purse containing
fifty sovcreigns and Testament. The
mother rang the household violently aud
ran some little distance, whence she could
still see the housc-door. She saw the child
taken up and carried into the house. On
the following day she and her husband
crossed over 10 England.
From that time and during the succeed
ING twelve wears their doings have not
TRANSFERRED. but i'm 1872 they went TO Rome
and continued 10 lipc there. In the early
part of 1877 the harone; died and left his
entire possessions TO his heir. the estate
being worth between G13,000 and E1i.000
q wear The inhcritor OF this wealth was.
however. of delicate health. and both he and
his wife died suddenly at their residence
i'm Rome on the 18th Of October. 1871. As 1t
was not then known whether the deceased
had any issue the disposal of his property
was deferred 10y the executors. His broth
er. who was Il colonel in cavalry reSi-
mcnt. having learned from the servants OF
the deceased that there was child OF the
marriage whose whereabouts was I'M
known, determined TO cndeayor 10 trace
her. He could not. however, obtain
any clew 10 the missing girl until
about four months ago, when he found
among his brothers books and papers at
Rome diary belonging TO the wife, in
which were entered Il number OF facts con-
nectcd with the birth and subsequent de-
tons subsequently,. Among other items il
contained an entry, dated January 81, 1860,
after she had left the child at KingStoYn,
describing the place where She had left it,
and her own proceedings on that day, be-
sides giving some other important inform
alton.
Possessed OF this clcw, the Colonel. in
December last, placed the mgtter in the
hands of a detective, whom he instructed
TO spare no trouble I'm the search for the
missing girl. Ultimately the whole story
Of the girls career from the time OF
her deSertion has been obtained. II
appears that after remaining for two
wears aud seven months in the house OF
the person on whose doorstep She had
been left. the girl was sent 10 RathdoWn
Union WorkhouSe. where she remained
for nearly four years. She was then sent
into the country and placed in the care OF
foster mother, whence. after being trained
in the ordinary duties of domestic servant,
and after receiving fuir education, she
was sent out TO service, and until few
DAYS ago she was employed a. SER
want at n gcntleman'S house in the
neighborhood of Dublin. Immediately
upon the proofs OF his niece'S identity be-
inc forthcoming the Colonel hurried TO
( Dublin and brought all the certificates he
/ had i'm reference TO the ease with hun, and
/ he at once took steps to have her removed
/ to a position more BETTING hernew station
