The widow of the late Mr.lisrvis, in company with a gentleman,!
came to the office yesterday, for the purpose of c0:306N; the
Magistrate an to the proper way of obtaining fir Mrs. Harris !lir
share of the proceeds arising from the exhibition of the balloon.
The gentleman stated that Dlr. II writ and the Committee had
entered into a bond, in which it was agreed that they were to share,
the pmfits among them. The Committee had exhibited the balloon
for a long time, and must have drawn constecrable aunts for it
but the widow had received but a trifle of the profits. She there.
fore wished the :Magistrate to give directions that she should be
paid her due share ; or, if that ccald not be done, that he would'
grant an injunction to prevent the exhibition of the balloon.
Mr. Hoc acid that a Justice of the Peace had no power to grant
an injunction ; and any directions or advice might bx of little use,
as he list no power to enforce them. If an injunction were re-
quired site must apply to the Lord Chancellor ; but he thought the
brat way would be to apply to her attorney fur advice. lie had no
jurisdiction an the case.

Calmal-lvaildings, Orchard-street, Portman-square, have for some
years been a great nuisance ir that neighbourhood, particularly to

Limerick people very much out of humour. They were not content
with the decision of the single combat, and resolved to hate &gene-
ral fght. The Irish residing in Oxford-buildings, Park-swim,
Ilisekendire-street, St. /like's, end Cato-street, Mary-la-bonne, all
assembled at Palatal-buildings., at half-past 10 o'clock on Sunday
merning, in numbers not less than 1410, and a very severe conflict
commenced between the two parties. The pollee did Al in their
power to quell the disturbance; but finding that their force was in-
snakient, they were compelled to give information rot Portman-
! stunt barracks, aid to request the aid of the military. A sergeant
and a the of lb men were intently dap-itched to give effect to the
civil power ; and, on their arrival., the rioters nialt:d into the direr-
ent houses, and six of the leaders were secured and conveyed to
Mary-Li-bonne watchboute. Alter the men were taken to the
watchhouse the aoldieni returned to the barracks, anti soon after-
; wards were called out again to quell a second riot, equally violent,
I if not more outrageous than the first, in which many were despe-
nttely wounded, aid one boy is now, from the (-fleets of a blow
1 with a brickbat, in a dying state. Two men, who were cut and
wounded very
Vestoday six or the rioters were exatnitwil at this office, and
