MARRIED
A few days ago, at Headford, in this County, by the Rev. Edmond JENNINGS,
Roderick RABBITT, of this town, linen and woollen draper to Catherine
Matilda BODKIN, daughter of the late Dominick BODKIN, of Trasferna, Esq.

At Christ Church, Cork, R.F. FREKE, Esq, of Baltimore, in that County to
Mary Anne, eldest daughter of Doctor BERKELEY, of Skibbereen.

At Elgin, A BREMMER, Esq. (late of the 3d Regt. of Foot) Surgeon in Keith,
to Eliza, eldest daughter of Lieutenant-Colonel A. GRANT.

DIED.
At Ballinasloe, on Friday last, where she was removed for the benefit of her
health, Honoria M. DONELLAN, second daughter of Hyacinth DONELLAN of
Hillswood, Esq, on the County of Galway. The indisposition of this amiable
and interesting young Lady, which was tedious and protracted, she endured
with a degree of fortitude and resignation. We feel ourselves inadequate to
describe the character of this Lady- to those who were intimately acquainted
with her it is unnecessary, for they knew and appreciated her amiable and
humane disposition- Her career in this life, though short, was devoted to
the amelioration of her sufferings of the wretched and destitute, to whose
wants she felt pleasure in administering- in her character was combined
those traits which endeared her to all classes- to her family her premature
death must be a source of the most inconsolable grief, and those of her
acquaintance and friends a subject of extreme regret.
In Dominick-street, Dublin, to the inexpressible grief of her disconsolate
parents and family, Jane, second daughter of Benjamin LISTER, Esq, formerly
of Wakefield in the 14th year of her age.

On Monday last, in Cork, Mrs. Susanna JOHNSON, wife of James B. JOHNSON,
Esq. of Killeagh, in that County, on half-pay of the late 95th or Queen's
Own Regiment. This Lady's death was occasioned by fright received from an
attack on her house, on the 14th of April last, by a party of the Whiteboys.

ATTEMPT AT ROBBERY
Saturday night some ruffians, no doubt with the intent of robbing, attacked
the coach-house door adjoining Dr. Henry BLAKE's residence, in
Dominick-street. From the marks on the door the following morning, it was
evident these miscreants had utensils well calculated to enable them to
accomplish their intentions; but, fortunately, the coach-house door was so
well secured, that all their efforts to gain admittance were ineffectual. We
were, indeed, very sanguine in our hopes, that from the convictions at our
late Assizes, we would not, for some time, have to record any acts of
depradation or burglary. But in this hope we have been deceived; nor does it
surprise us much that repeated acts of robbery should be attempted, when we
consider the great extent of the town, its vast and impoverished population,
and our complete want of that internal security, as in other well regulated
towns, which a nightly police or patrols would afford.- Taking these
circumstances into consideration, we would not be astonished to find a more
frequent repetition of these crimes. We hope the offenders will be detected
and punished.

And immediate Possession given- or the Interest in the Concern to be Sold,
The House Called
Bermingham Lodge
(Most eligibly situated)
With offices, well-cropped garden, and 26 Acres of well-enclosed Land,
