POTATO RIOT Ile IRELAND. A " potato
riot" occurred on Monday at Cork. A man named Martin
had become obnoxious to some of the inhabitants. and
especially to some of the dealers in potatoes, cis account of
his having purchased largely for shipment to England.
On his appearance in the market in the neighbourhood of
the Coal-quay, on Monday, he was mobbed by a number
of the dears, chiefly women. He was obliged to pat
himself under the protection of the polioe. A large
quantity of potatoes which were lying for shipment on
another part of the quay attracted the attention of the
some parties, and severed seeks were thrown into the
river. Three or km of the ringleaders were then ar-
rested, and will be prosecuted on the charge of stealing
the potatoes.
SERIOUS ACeIDENT.—OR Friday a shockil acci-
dent occurred to two man engaged at Kr. Joseph lien's,
Chederblade, near Western-anper.Mare, in sinking
a well on his p emuw. The men were in the net
of blowing up the rock. and had inserted upwards
of • pound of powder in a hole for that P 1: when, in ramming down the charge, it sull6
ignited. One of the poor men. named Stephen
wee so fearfully injuied about the head and sh
that be is scarcely recognirahle by his own friends, and we
hear that very slight hopes are entertained of his reeovery.
The other man escaped with some slight injure)* on the
hand.- Merieree Ammo!.
