Youonax.—There has been a disturbance in this town.
On Tuesday week a meeting of tradesmen and labourers was
held in Market-square, to deliberate what steps sbouldle
taken in the present distress. A party of dragoons were in
ireadiness ; but the proceedings terminated peaceably. No-
thing having been done since then which tended to give em-
ployment to the people, a large number of them congregated
to the town at an early hour yesterday morning, upon which
a meeting of the neighbouring magistrates was hastily called
in the Town-hall, together with several influential gentlemen
connected with the town, many of whom exhorted the peoplo
and explained to them that every measure possible under the
late act would be immediately resorted to, and that every
exertion which the co-operation of the local gentry could
we would be made to alleviate the anticipated Wamity.
Those exhortations had the desired effect for a few hours, and
the famiAting labourers dispersed ; but about 3 o'clock in the
evening they re-a ambled, and commenced an indiscrimi-
nate attack on all the bakers' shops, out of which they took
the bread before the authorities could interfere. A number
of them then proceeded to the draw-bridge, and having
raised the portcullis to prevent the military proceeding to
Dur.garran, where it was anticipated a similar occurrence
would take place to-day, they threw the handles into the ricer.
In the course of the evening the cavalry were called out, but
they merely paraded the streets, as after breaking Into the
bakers' ahops the town became quite tranquil. The magistrates
directed the bakers to make as much bread as possible for the
purpose of keeping up a supply, but we understand they are
deterred from doing so, being apprehensive of a fresh attack.
Last night the whole country in the neighbourhood was lighted
up by fires on the hills, and large detachments of people have
stationed themselves at various thoroughfare* to prevent the
corn being brought into the town. In consequence of those
proceeding', the magistrates have deemed d advisable to
apply fur additional military assistance to preserve the peace,
and, accordingly, an influential member of their body was
deputed to wait on Myer-Gen. Turner this day, to request a
reinforcement of troops for the town and country. A poor
man in Youghal, after having eaten a twopenny loaf yes-
terday, fainted from the effects of overloading his stomach,
and, when brought to, de,:lared that he had not tasted food
for twenty-four hours previously.
RAILWAY MEETINGS.—The railway labourers employed
an the Newry and Enniskillen line have " struck" fur 12s.
a week—their present pay is 10s. The men are new hands,
and the contractor has promised them a rise when they
:irterzeo more ca;:ert tt railway laborer.
THE PROTESTANT PRIMATE.—We are gratified to be
enabled to state that the primate, who, a few days since, was
attacked by serious illness, is now convalescent.—Netery
