FATAL DULL.

Tie Drblie Correstendfst of the first of June,
regains the following article r
We are deeply concerned to state, that en
Slurday last, at two o'clock, a meeting took
place near Wexford, between Mr. Alccck and Mr.
folcloup,h, Candidates for that county ; when nn
the first lire, the tatter received a shot through the
I-art, which instantly deprived him of existence
The origin of this fatal dispute. we understand, was
in consequence of the deceased procuring the te-
nants offs Lady who supported the int of Mr.
Alva. to tote against him. We trust, that the
whiter may rest here, and that this awful circler).
once may restrain the unbridled impetuosity w'ih
which eledioneering contests are commonly pur-
eed, and that, guided by moderation, each party
may have the good sense-to let this fatal aft stand
alone and unimitated hereafter."
hia article only carries down the intelligence
Wexford to the moment of Mr Culclough*s
h, and is the latest intellireoce that has been
irom slat quarter. Of the final result of
t t ration, therefore, we know nothing ; whether
th.ae Aentlernen who nominated Mr. Sheridan, had
tne coo-age to keep it open in hi: favour, or whe-
ther. whirh is the more probable case, the death
of Mr. Colclough had the effed expected by those
who compassed it, ref paralysing the exertions of his
friends. and terminating the contest. With the
particulars of this fatal event we are not acquaint-
cd; but irons the good sense, moderation, and ha-
bits of Mr. Coklough, we are confident that tee
challenge must have been sent by his adversary,
or that a quarrel was fastened upon the deceased,
which compelled him to become the challenger.
this °nisi.", we are confirmed by the general
state of politics and parties in that county. as well
as by the events of the last twelve months, within
which, the present is the third Election that has
token place. The first was in consequence of the
elevation of the present Marquis of Ely, one of the
then Representatives of the County. to the House of
Veers. Upon that occasion Mr. Colclough proposed
his elder brother, wbo has been many years
resident in France, and Mr. Alcnck, the relative of
t'e Marquis. was set opopon the Ely interest. Mr.
Calelnugh, in his advertisement on behalf of his
trotter, stated, that his chief was " to reserve the
miry hogs the tyrannyof the Ely family," at which
apression the Marquis expressed greet indignation.
and immediately went down from-Dublin to Wex-
ford, as report stated. to challenge Mr. Colclough.
'flee precise message that passed, we do not know ;
kit Mr. Colclough answered, that he did not al-
lade to the Marquis, p 'tonally, but meant the gene-
ra political condua of his family ; and this expla-
taat!on was accepted. as satisfaanry. Upon that cc-
c awn a report prevailed, and was, for some days.
th-lieved in Dublin, that Mr. Coleleugh bad been
Vl:ed in a duel ; a circumstance which, in itself, fur-
ni.thes a proof of the hostile spirit which the public
pan med to exist in the breast of Mr. Colclough':
political opponent. In that contest Mr. Colclough',

occasion In outlast page, in which may be read the
painciples of the party ; those principles which stung
the peasantry into madness, and made the county of
Wexford the fetes of retrellicn in 1798. According
to Mr. King, no tenant has a right to freely exercise
the eledivz franchise; but the principal landlords
may form a junle. and having seleßed a Mr. Akock,
or any one else, desire their tenants to des% him
their Representative; and if Mr. Colelough,
or any other Gentleman should set up on the
popular interest, it is wicked and ungentlemanly,
and he must answer fbr it with his life. Wit

sume, has corredly reported Mr. King's speech.
that Gentleman not appearing to have complained
of it. This single case may afford an idea of the
preßice of those worst of petty tyrants ; we mean
that cla•s of Irish 'squires and Landlords, who re-
gard their tenants as the mere instiuments of their
will and pleasure. It was from this galling ty.
ranny Mr. Colelough 'might to deliver his native
county, an attern;st worthy of his generous and li-
beral spirit. The threat thrown out by Mr. King,
at the nomination. appears to have been Naively
followed up ; for, although the sense of the county
was' known to be decidedly in favour of Mr. Col-
elough, his opponents continued to head the Poll,
and on Friday, the sixth day of the Election, the
numbers stood thus :

Nothing but the influence of the tyraneical prin-
ciples of this Mr. King, who. we understand, is a
Captain in the Wexford Militia. could have pre.
vented Mr. Colclough from taking the lead from
the first day. We'd° not find. however. any aft of
violence produced by this system of terror, until
Thursday se'nnight, on which day Laud took piece
between Mr. M,Cord and Mr. Standish Lcquay,
both of Rou. Mr. MeCord was the particular
friend and the partner of Mr. Colelough. in
the hank of that town. Loquay is a follower
of the Ely family. who contrived to have him
made a Magistrate; but IMIJ Chancellor Pon-
senlay considered him totally unworthy of the
office, and stripped him of his Magisterial au.
thofity. In this du:l. the parties exchanged a
case of pistols each, and in the second fire, Mr.
M'Cnrd wounded his antagonist in the groin.—
On that day also, old George Ogle. whose pious
zeal appears to have been roused by the cry of
" No Popery," arrived at Wextord, to peea,..a' the
principles of liberty, so ably urged by the Militia
Captain. Earl hlountnorris, who lib' a coma•
derable interest in the county, had supported Mr.
Coklough on the two former contests ; and, we
understand. had promised his iopport upon the pre-
sent occasion. Indeed we do. not knew with what
pretenvoas to consistency his Lordship could have
refused ; and yet we find that the Ely motion were
not disposed to observe those rules themselves
' which they seviald prescribe to others. the brilintat
Col•invl Mo.siell, his L irdship's sonin-law, and
the learned Vist:ount Valentia, his Lordship's son.
were acme partisans of Aleock and Ram, horn the,
commencement of the Sieben. Thus assailed.
Mr.Colclough's I tienas determined to put fetch their
strength ; and on Saturday minettng. Mr Ordeliengb
published a spirited advertisement in the Wexford
Paper, calling upon the Eleflors to come forward,
with an assurance this those why had positively
promised him their votes. were fully 'anti:at to
.place him at the head of the poll. The appeal, we
may presume, had the desired effeft. The fatal
doel was sought at two o'cloc.Lon that day. This
is the second time Mr. Alco4 has thought fit,
when hard run on an Eleftion, to appeal front the
sense of the people. to the pistol. He was twice the
opponent of Sir John Newport, for the City of Wa-
terford ; upon one of which occasions he fought the
worthy Baronets and this is the third time which,
without recourse to a duel, he should have heed
defeated by Mr. Colelough. Mr. Colclougla was
the second son of the late Sir Vesey Cola:lough,
who represented the county of Wexford for many
years in the Irish Parliament. He was a man of
plain and unaffected manners, of a candid and in-
genuous temper, and of liberal, generous, and co-
dependent principles. He was the best of sons
and brothers, and the kindest and sincerest of
friends. His mother lives in Dublin ; and his only
and elder brother has been seventeen years resident
in Fiance. Mr. Celciough was killed in his 34th
year.

On Sunday se'nnight, Major Annaasou and his
Lady, Miss Pali ltaToll, then niece, and a draughts-
m in of Newcastle, sailed from Slit-lds, on a voyage
of observation to Iceland, to return by the Orkney
and Shetland islands.
Among the very striking features of the present
Lottery, is the extraordinary one—in fat, the un-
precedented circumstance of a 30,0001. Prize in a
Scheme of only 20,000 numbers. When its nume-
rous concomitant great Ps izrs are likewise consider.
ed,and that there will not be three blanks to a prize,
at any period of the drawing, the superior intrrest
of a Scheme so advantageously construfled for ad-
venture, must be apparent.
It is no small matter of surprise to framers of
lottery Schemes, that with five thousand less numbers
than the last Lottery contained, the present Scheme,
nevertheless, should possess a much larger Prize.—
In truth, thr 30,000 pounder, with the number cf
other great capitals, in a Scheme of 20,00 s Tickets
only, and without three blanks In a prize, are cir-
cumstances so extraordinary, that there can be no
doubt of the present Scheme proving one of the
most popular in the annals of Lottery adventure.
