"The Anglo Celt" Cavan; Thursday, December 2, 1852 SIR MONTAGUE CHAPMAN, BART. - We sincerely regret to state that the most painful rumours are current respecting the fate of this high-minded and excellent Irish Gentleman. Since Sir Montague had left Sidney for Adelaide, sic months had elapsed, and no intelligence had been obtained of the vessel in which he had sailed. The members of his family in Westmeath, are naturally in a most painful state of suspense, and are looking with the deepest solicitude for the next accounts from Australia. We have been favoured with the following extract of a private letter from Rome, dated November 19:- "I have learned that the Very Rev. Dr. O'Toole has resigned the Vice-Presidency of the Queen's College, Galway. He was received in the most corteous (sic) manner by all the authorities at Rome, and was introduced to the Pope by the Cardinal Secretary of State. His holiness expressed his great regret that he could not go back of his decision, and permit him to remain in the College. Dr. O'Toole's only object in going to Rome was to obtain a dispensation for himself, he having taken office in the College before the decrees against the Clergy were either passed or ratified. - His holiness has also repeatedly stated there is no prohibition against the laity attending the Queen's Colleges." BRUTAL MURDER. - Another victim has fallen in accordance with the baneful system of "agrarian legislation." Tipperary is again disgraced by the commission of another brutal murder, perpetrated under circumstances of great atrocity. In this instance the sufferer is neither a landlord or agent, but a peasant, named HOGAN, who resided near Busherstown, in this county, but on the borders of the King's County. It appears that Hogan was evicted from his holding, but was permitted by Mr. WALKER, the agent of the property, to continue on the premises, and to get what he could for the "good will" of the place. In consequence of this permission he had agreed with a person named Kenny to resign in his favour, subject to the approval of the agent, on receiving the sum of £10, to which Kenny assented, but subsequently having endeavoured to obtain the possession of it without paying the sum agreed on, Hogan, to use the common parlance of the neighbours, "dealt" with another man,! and by reason of his having dared to do so is assigned as the cause of his murder. A party, consisting of about ten men, all of whom were armed, attacked his house on Monday night week last, and beat him in a most savage manner, from the effects of which he languished and died on Friday night last. An inquest was held on the following day, when the coroner's jury returned the verdict usual in all such cases - "Wilful murder against some persons unknown." The wife of the deceased is in so delicate a state, from the injuries she received and the effects of the fright, that her life is despaired of, so that in all probability, the result of this outrage will end in the loss of at least two lives. Sub-Inspector MORGAN and the police of his district are actively employed endeavouring to trace out the perpetrators of this barbarous murder. Strong suspicion attaches to KENNY, who stated that he never left his house on the day of the occurrence; but it has been proved that he ! was seen drinking that day with a large party in the village of Toomavara. - Saunder's News Letter. REJOICING AT KILLECAR. - As soon as it became known (on Saturday last) that John Albert NESBITT, Esq., had become the purchaser of the lands of Drumasladdy and Killecar, preparations were made by those residing in the neighbourhood to show their respect for him by having bonfires. As night set in, the surrounding hills of Drumlane, Drumashaddy, Killecar, &c., &c., were brilliantly lighted with the barrels, where hundreds collected who gave loud and hearty cheers for Mr. Nesbitt, and wishing that he may live long to enjoy a property upon which he had expended so much money in improvements. After drinking his health in a sufficient quantity of "Jamieson's best" they retired peaceably to their homes. REPRESENTATION OF CARLOW. - Mr. Francis MACDONOUGH, the highly distinguished Queen's Councel, (sic) has addressed the electors of Carlow as a candidate for the seat left vacant by the death of the late Colonel BRUEN. Mr. Macdonagh offers himself on P__lite (?)? and Free-trade principles. DIED. At her residence in Main-street, Cavan, on Tuesday the 26th November, Araminia ERSKINE. At Brooklyn, near New York, on the 3d of November, Mrs. Eliza MONTGOMERY, late of Cavan. DEATH OF LADY LOVELACE, DAUGHTER OF LORD BYRON. On Saturday the Lady Ada Augusta, "sole daughter of Byron's house and heart," expired after a lingering illness of more than one year's duration, at No. 6, Great Cumberland-place. She was born in 1816, at the noble poet's town residence, 122 Piccadilly, and was, like her illustrious father, in the 37th year of her age when she died. Writing to Mr. Murray from Venice, Feb. 2, 1818, Byron says - "I have a great love for little Ada, and I look forward to her as the pillar of my old age, should I ever reach that desolate period, which I hope not." From Bologna, 7th June, 1819, he again writes: - I have not heard of my little Ada, the Electra of my Mycenae, "but there will come a day of reckoning, even should I not live to see it. On the 8th July, 1835, the poet's daughter was united to Lord King, subsequently, in 1838, created Earl of Lovelace, a connection by which the lineage of John LOCKE was blended with that of Byron. Much of the interest which attaches to the daughters of Milton and Shakespeare was left in the decased (sic) lady wherever the English language is spoken, and to a large circle of private friends her death will be a source of sincere sorrow. Highly gifted, and endowed with a large share of father's vivid temperament, she delighted in intellectual as well as benevolent and kindly pursuits, "one of her most intimate and prized confidantes" having been for many years that intelligent judge of female excellence, Mrs. JAMESON. To that lady's pen we should refer the public for a true appreciation of her character. County Cavan Newspaper Transcription Project
