Friday se'nnight, at the fair of Shruel, county of of Limerick, a most dreadful conflict took place be tween two factions, or rather the tenants of two Gen. tlemen in the neighbourhood, who foe the tut two years frequented the fairs held in that town, for the purpose of deciding their bog's, or, awaking in more applicable terms, of destaling each other, which was not suppressed until upward** 20 pet sons were most severely beaten, two or three of them so dread fully, that their lives are despaired of.

From the rolling of the horse he was severe ly bruised, and some of his bones were supposed to be fractured. There was unfortunately no medical man in attendance, and it was therefore souse time be. fore any assistairce could be procured. DREADFUL ACCIDENT.—A. watchman, in theneigh bourhood of Golden-square, in going his rounds early on Sunday morning last, discovered a man suspended by the leg from the top of an iron railing. He im mediately gave an alarm, and the unfortunate sufferer was conveyed to Middlesex Hospital, in a state of in. sensibility. The propel remedies having been resorted to, the poor fellow became for a short time sensible, daring which he gave the following account of him self;--His name, be said, is Joseph Harvey. About four years ago he accompanied a Gentleman to India, with whom he had recently returned to this country. his arrival, he found his wife, whom he had left A England, was living with a paramour, with whom he had been acquainted previous to his leaving his native country. He had not called on nor molested her in the slightest degree, being determined to treat her with tour contempt. On Saturday evening he retired tea bed, at his usual time, and awoke in a Fe* hours, tmdee the impression of a horrible dream. He imagined that the man with whom his wife was then living stood at his bed-side with a pistol in his hand, and threatened to take his life. In a parokyor. ei terror he started from his bed, threw open the yeindow, and jumped on'. The spike of the tailing had entered the calf of his leg, which is torn open as hr as the anat. The progress of the wound was here stopped by one of the tendons, and the unfortunate Nan remained in this situation, with his head (the scalp of which is completely divided) resting on the 'lap, until-he was discovered ky the watchman.— eat hopes are entertained of bas recovery, but he ' as exhibited °sessional/ girls of•derangement. THE EXTRAORDINARY DUEL MEETING. The misunderstanding between Lord KWWORTH and Mr. Witu.ssLer Pons, like that of rival knights of yore, grew out of their chivalric pretensions to the rich and amiable Miss T. L. The subject matter of it was the following Jeti d'Esitrit: AN IMPILOMP ON LIMITING WANSTEAD HOOSI PITL By Mr. P—, Jun. Though my feet caper'd first with th• smart Emma L —s, My eyes danc'd in chace of her sister, And salt tears never fail'd in their sockets to throng, Wheneer for a moment they mised her! So bewitching her jewels—attractive her pelf, Titled lads throng in troops to ensnare her; But by I—s! I vow, by my own precious self, 'chaos W-.& -T shall win her, and wear her! 'Mid the tumult of Waltzing and wild Irish reels, As prim. dancer, I'm sure to get at her; And by Love's graceful movements to trip up her heels, As the MT and the short of the matter! Cocoa Tree, July Is. Lord K. being known to be in the train of the Muses, and having spoken jocosely of these verses, was unfortunately imagined to have been the writer of them. Some sarcastic remarks were grounded upon this supposition by the other party, and not very guardedly delivered at a Public Assembly, which induced Lord K. to require an explanation thereof, that led to the messuages and meetings detailed in the following statement : TO THE EDITOR OF THE STAR.
