DUBLIN, Orr. I.
D UNGAR VON RIOTS.
I hate endeavoured so to arrange my extracts from the
different local papers as to supply a narrative of the progress
of these unhappy events from their first rise. The Water-
ford Mail begins its brief summary with what omitted on
Sunday; the IValerford Freeman notices an incident re-
garding the shipping which the others overlook ; the Water-
ford Chronicle contains the most particular detail of M 41-
clay's proceeding'; from a Cork paper I subjoin an indica-
tion of the precautions taking by government :

of. The discontented labourers were offered 10d. a day if they went

the mob called into several bread shops, where the: were liberalist I

up a position at one end of the !spare, but they were ordered to load I
on the arrival of a largo body of Labourers from the parish of Grange
and neighbourhood ; the riot act was also read. Nothing occurred
till nearly dark, when the streets were ordered to be cleared; un-
happily this was attended with sad results, for some of the labourers
threw stones at the dragoons and police at the battery outlet, when
orders to fire were given, and the result wall the wounding of two
men-one named John Mulcahy, a boatman, from the neighbouring
townland of Killongford, through the hip and across the lower part
of the abdomen-the other, named Fleming, a servant buy, train
Kthaacthomas, in the knee, where the ball is longed.

At an early hour on Monday morning it was perceived that hun-
dreds, nay thousands of persons, from the different localities, were
pouring Into the town, and the fishermen having remained from

some outbreak or outrage was about to be committed. A strong de-
tachment o: pollee and minatory were imined:ately placed under arms
