The trestle/ of the different regiments, doting the
time they were encamped, was highly exemplary,
and created a regard for them among the gentry of
the neighbourhnod, which .was substantially signi•
fled in various arts of hospitality and kindness, and
contributed essentially to lighten the Inconvenience
of a short encampment.

The affray affray at Ballinenlhg, on Sunday last, of
which see made some mention already, has been
since circumstantially described to us, and we
regret to say, it was of a most dangerous nature,
and might have been produdtive of very fatal con-
sequences. It originated in a trifling cause : Some
soldiers of the Queen's County regiment of Militia,
who were on guard at the Lowder Mills, went to
drink at a public-house, never the guard-room, in
which several countrymen were also 'drinking. A
soldier, who, it appears, was interrupted in singing
a song, entered into an altercation with the person
causing the interruption, the result of which was
blows. Both parties were speedily reinforced, and
a scuffle, in which several wounds were received, was
the consequence. The Officer who commanded the'
guard, who happened not to be present at the in.
stunt, upon his arrival, went to the public-house,
and, with the assistance of the guard, took several
mess into custody, whom he next day lodged in the
main guard of this city. Upon the transaftion
being known, an enquiry was immediately instituted
into the cause of it, and, after a tedious and trou-
blesome examination, in which the kJ avoa unre-
mittingly endeavoured to procure the truth, a Cor-
poral and five men were committed, on a charge of
feloniously stabbing with bayonets Jer. Linehan,
his sons, and some others ; and the Officer was ad-
mitted to hail, to take his trial' at the next Assizes,
on a charge making a part of the transa .etion
These are the strong feels of the case, and we should
not lee! ourselves justified in a minuter relation of
it, which may have any tendency to place the ag-
gression upon any particular side, or create a pre-
judice, when a criminal prosecution has been resort-
ed to. A charge, however, has been made in the
information, which, we understand, does nit spe-
cially affeet the men confined, that several shots
were discharged by the soldiers, which penetrated
the doors and windows of Linehane's lioNse. To
this mode of redress, if the accusation be well
founded, we give our heat tiest condemnation--The
soldier, who enjoys this full advantage of the juris-
prudence of the country, in common with every
other person, should look to its support against any
abuse of his person—and not use, in violation of it,
the arms put into his hands for its proteelion ; and
he will tind the people regard him in proportion u
he regards their peace and tranquillity ; every dis-
agreement is to be lamented, which disunites the
common feeling, which should pervade every classed(
the Irish community.—(Cork hbrcantile Chrensele).
