14.— Particulars of the Deathof 
the Duke of Dorset—The Duke 
of Dorset had been since Monday 
on a visit to lord Powerscourt, 
and yesterday joined a hunting 
party in the vicinity of Killiney. 
His Grace was an adventurous 
horseman, and entered warmly 
into the spirit of the chace towards 
its close; and when his horse was 
a good deal fatigued by the ar- 
dour with which he had been 
urged forward, his Grace leapt a 
small stone wall, at the opposite 
side of which loose stones had 
been collected. The horse ef- 
fected the leap, but fell among the 
stones, on which he necessarily 
‘lighted, and his rider was con- 
sequently thrown off. 
His Grace, it seems, came to 
the ground on his breast, with so 
gteat a shock, as proved fatal in a 
short period after. He was un- 
conscious of having been mate- 
rially injured, for in reply to a 
question from lord Powerscourt, 
who was near at the time of the 
accident, ‘ If he was much hurt?’ 
his Grace said, ‘he believed not.’ 
He was immediately taken to the 
house of Mr. Oxley, from which 
a messenger was instantly dis- 
patched to town for surgeons 
Crampton and Macklin. Before 
their arrival, however, though 
they travelled with every possible 
expedition, his Grace had expired. 
He lived little more than an hour 
after the fatal event took place.

Powerscourt’s brother, and. Mr. 
Oxley, were with him when he 
died. The sad catastrophe was 
not accompanied with any appa- 
rent symptoms of very acute suf- 
fering; he raised himself up by 
their assistance, as a last effort of 
life, and said almostinarticulately, 
‘T am off,’ and expired. 
His excellency the Lord Lieu- 
tenant and the Duchess of Dorset 
had been acquainted with the cir- 
cumstance of the Duke of Dorset’s 
having fallen from his horse as 
expeditiously as it was practicable 
to have made the communica- 
tion, and set off for Powerscourt, 
where they expected to have found 
his Grace. Not meeting with him, 
or learning any thing certain re- 
specting the injury he had receiv- 
ed at Powerscourt, they moved 
rapidly on towards Killiney, 
where his Excellency was ap- 
prised of the extent of the cala- 
mity which had happened, timely 
enough to prevent the Duchess 
of Dorset from being a witness 
of it. Overwhelmed with the 
poignancy of their feelings, these 
illustrious personages returned to 
the Castle; where the body of the 
Duke of Dorset was conveyed in 
lord Powerscourt’s carriage. . In 
consequence of this lamentable 
event, the ode, levee, and ball to - 
celebrate her Majesty’s birth-day, 
were postponed.— From the Dub-

in London, of a woman, with a 
strangely deformed face, resem-

and conveniencies incident to her 
sex and station. We, ourselves,
