DISTUBBANCM ANONOSE THE SOLDIERS IS

DUBLIN.

Much uneasiness and alarm has been caused at
Dublin, by the disorderly and violent conduct of some of the
military now stationed there. On Chrletnias night, a des-
perate quareel broke out between the Grenadier Guards and
the men of the 30th and Siitla Regiments. It commenced in
a public-house in Queen-street, where the men but been
drinking, end setae offensive expressions were noel by some
of the Guards towards the teen of the 30th, when a general
ealie ensued, the combatants fighting with their cross-belie.
After a long aseastater, sad some terrible wounds indicted
on both sides, the Guards, though superior in numbers, were
beaten out into the street, amid shouts of victory from the
30th and 55th, who, after the expulsion of their steadier op-
pon.mte, went back and kept possession of the public-twine.
In the meantime the Gouda reinforced by soldiers of their
own regiment and of the Shropshire Mika,, went back to
the house and renewed the comtat. Another desperate fight
with cross-belts, tables and chairs, pints and tumblers, took
place, and the Guards bad again to retreat, closely followed
by the 30th and 55th. The fight was then resumed on the
q IMP and ended in the Guards retreating, some
ctsiesvZ
their :hakes behind, which were paraded by' the su
party en trophies of victory. Daring this time large crowds
easembled, end the neighbourhood wee thrown lute a state
of fear. Stones were thrown in all directions, and windows
broken. The shops had to be closed to prevent further
damage being done, and the whole thoroughfare was blocked
up. A picket of the 30th Regiment arrived, and for a time
put an end to the quarrel. The noters moved on, and while
panics threw stones, end mashed several windows to Silver-
street and Flood-street. A strong detachment of the Grena-
dier Guards and of the 30th Regiment, under the command
of General Goicoigne, were drawn op in West Liffey-street,
who euooseded in getting all the refractory soldiers into
barrack..

diaisittirday evening, however, the light was renewed, and
more windows were broken. On Sunday distutbences took
place in the barrack*, and symptom* of insubortitnation ap-
peared, which made it necessary to send for the Commander
of the Forces front the Chapel Royal, where be happened to
be, attending divine service. About seven o'clock in the
evening some of the 30th and 65th Regiments, after going
through the etreste, ceiling for the Guards or militia to come
and meet them, went in a body to Cbancary-lane police-sta-
tion, with the avowed purpose of releasing any primates that
might be confined there. Inspector Fitzpatrick, a policeman
on reserve duty, and one meow were the ote persons
