Married,
   On the 4th instant, by the Rev. H. Simpson, of Saintfield, Mr. ALEX M’BRIDE, of Belfast, merchant, to Miss MARY, only daughter of David Johnson, of Ravarah.
   On the 11th inst., by the Rev. Mr. Carr, Mr. RICHARD BARNETT, dentist, to SARAH, third daughter of Mr. John Milford, both of Belfast.

Died,
   At Dundalk, on the 13th inst., after a short but painful illness which she bore with patience and resignation to her Maker, ANN, second daughter of Paul Parks, Esq., aged 19 years. Her amiable disposition and kindness of heart will long be remembered by her disconsolate parents, friends and acquaintances, who deeply deplore her irreparable loss.
  On the 14th instant, ELIZABETH JOHNSON, of Derryhaw, near Tynan, aged 107 years. She was possessed of all her faculties to the last moment, and could spin a dozen of yarn in the day one month before her death. She is greatly lamented by a numerous circle of relatives and friends. Her funeral was attended by 72 grandchildren.
  On the 10th inst., at Rye, much esteemed and lamented, Mrs. JANE SMITH, widow of the Missionary Smith, aged 33, of consumption, originating in the climate of Demerara, and the sufferings she there endured.  

=======================

   An inquest was held in this town, on Saturday last, before Isaac Glenny, Esq. Seneschal, on the body of an unfortunate female, named Ellen Scullen, who had been found that morning, at an early hour (six o’clock), lying in the lane leading from Water-street to the Old Church. Several witnesses were examined. On their united testimony it appeared that the deceased, who was thinly clothed, had been seen drinking on the previous night, and was slightly intoxicated. When discovered in the morning she could not speak, but was still alive ; her low moans having attracted the attention of several persons. Three individuals deposed to their having called on one of the Medical Gentlemen attached to the Dispensary, to visit the dying woman ; he, however, from some unfortunate misapprehension, did not attend to the humane call, and this wretched outcast of society soon after breathed her last. The verdict of the Jury was, that “ Ellen Scullen lost her life from intoxication and the inclemency of the weather.”  

=======================

     At the last Simultaneous Meeting in the Chapel of Ballycahill, near Thurles, when a resolution was moved for collecting the Rent, Mr. Lenigan, of Castle Fogarty, a Roman Catholic Magistrate, possessed of a rental worth £3,000 a year, and Agent to Lord Llandaff, stood forward, and gave it the most vigorous and determined opposition. In spite of the hostility of Mr. Lenigan, the motion was carried.  

=======================

     BELFAST, FEB. 15.—On Wednesday evening last, a party of five persons got over the wall into the new burying ground behind the Poor house, with a view, as is supposed, to raise dead bodies. Two sentinels had been placed on the ground since Surgeon Baillie’s interment ; and, on the five men approaching, they were challenged, and instantly fled. One of them, however, turned round and fired a loaded gun or pistol at the soldiers, which fortunately did not take effect, and one of the sentinels returned the fire. Four of the men were pursued a considerable distance, but escaped. The guard at the barracks being alarmed at hearing the shots, a file of men, with a corporal, went to the place, and caught one man coming over the wall of the burying ground, with a lantern belonging to the sentinels in his possession. He was taken to the Police-office ; his name is George Stephenson.— After undergoing an examination, he was fully committed to Carrickfergus gaol for trial at the next Assizes.
