A SERIOUS RIOT between Orange and Ribbon men
broke out last Saturday, at Newoartle•on-Tyne. The
12th July, being the commemoration of the battle of
the Boyne, a procession of Orangemen set out to
Gateshead and Felling. Upon arriving at the Fell.
ing toll-gate, a body of some hundreds of Ribbonmen
obstructed their progress, and, after a little parley,
attacked them vi et armis with scythes, knives, blud-
geons, and pistols. The peaceable Orangemen were
driven, pell-mell, back into Newcastle, and some
sixteen or twenty most seriously injured. The police
issued out in strong force and ultimately succeeded
in capturing the ringleaders of this disgraceful
attack.
THE INQUIRY INTO THE LATE STEAMBOAT COLLT-
SION IN THE MERSEY was resumed last Saturday,
when several passengers and the mate of the Moil
were examined. The lights of the Mail were right,
the look outs were awake, her helm was put hard,
a-port, and captain and officers on watch sober. The
accident was attributed entirely to the Excelsior,
against the Admiralty rules, putting her helm a-star-
board. The inquiry was further adjourned till
the 23rd. Two more of the Mail's passengers have
died from injuries received.
THE ROYAL AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY EXHIBITION at
Chelmsford this year has been a great success.
The show of stock and horses was above average
excellence. The quality and number of the sheep
was unprecedented, and the show of cattle remark-
ably fine. Colonel Townley's roan bull, " Master
Butterfly," again carried off the first prize among
the shorthorns—Prince Albert taking the first prise
for yearlings. The foreign prizes, though few, were
yet sufficient to induce some of the leading French
agriculturalists to compete and send some of their
finest specimens of native breeds of cattle. Of
these the Charolaise breed and Normandy black and
white dairy stock found most favour. The imple-
ment department possessed much interest from the
competition among the steam-power cultivators, the
contest lying principally between Boydell's travers-
ing and Fowler's stationary engine. The trials be-
tween Bell's, M'Cormick's, and Hussey's reaping
machines are not yet concluded. An immense
variety of clod-crushers and rollers, ploughs, har-
rows, horse-hoes, and the ordinary tillage imple-
ments were exhibited. Among machines for sowing
corn and manure, one drops,water, seed, and manure
together at intervals of ten or twelve inches as the
machine proceeds. The seed so sown comes up in
bunches, which are thinned to single plants. The
exhibition during the week has been daily crowded,
and has gone off with great eclat. The usual dinner

AN Exl'rosloN of FIRE-DAMP took place on Tues-
day in the Cymmen Collieries; fourteen miles above
Cardiff, South Wales, and, though slight in itself, so
filled the galleries with choke-damp and fire, that,
out of one hundred and seventeen men at work, only
six were got ont alive. The majority of tha teen were
burnt to death. This frightful accident has of course
eau 4ed the utmost consternation in the neighbourhood.
The inquest is adjourned for a fortnight. It is said
tha, for some days previous there had been various
inlications, from casual explosions of gas, of the im-
pure state of the atmosphere, and yet no extraordi-
nary precautions were taken. , •vitia
