DUBLIN, SEPT. 18.
The Lord Lieutenant arrived at the Vice-Regal
LridKe on Tuesday, from his southern tour.
His Excellency travelled from Killarney at
an easy pare, in consequence of an accident 11.1v-
ing occurred to his daughter, Lady Frances
hot, .who previously to their leaving Killiirovy,
while crossilig the room of the lintel, was tript
by the carpet, and fell with such violence on the
flour as to cause a contu,lois in her head, but
we are happy to learn, that immediately on
her arrival in Cork, ilicior Pitcairn, the Inspector-
General of Hospitals, having been sent for to attend
her Ladyship, lie is in hopes it will be attended
with little consequence, but recommended that her
Ladyship should he kept quiet, and advised her to
return to Dublin as soon us possible, in consequence
of which she on Thursday set out for Fermoy on
her way to that city. Her Ladyship is in her I7th
year.

The Lord Lieutenant has given 501. to the poor
of Killarney.
The State Surgeon, we are happy to find, is fart
recovering, and his medical at`endaut• have hopes
of his being able to be removed to town resi-
dence on Saturday.
The Duchess of Leinster opened the ball at
Luesn on Monday.

This season has been marked by a greater num-
ber of visitors of distinction to the Lai& than have
been observed fur many years. Lord Riveradale
and a large party are at present there, and a suc-
cession of delightful sports was to have taken place
this week ; a stag I ton the Lakes, on Wednes-
day, and another at the Gap of Duillue on Friday.
The hand of the South Cnrk Militia, of which
regiment Lord Riveradale is Colonel, had preceded
him to the Lakin.

The Gentlemen of the Kilkenny Theatrical So-
ciety have commenced their rehearsals, and every
thing is in r state of readiness for the commence-
ment t,f the Theatrical Campaign on Monday nett.

COMBINATION AND RIOT.

We are sorrry to find that some distiirbances
have taken place at Burnley, which have led to a
breach of the peace. On Toesday the bellman of
that town was employed by the weavers to proclaim
• public meeting, aid (lie civil authority committed
hiiii to prison. An iit.eenblage of persons followed,
the prison was forced, and the bellinnii libtrated.—
Furtfier irretsilarir:es ensued on IVednescey, and
military aid was required. The Manchester and
Salford Yeomanry marched hence in consequence on
Thursday about noon, amid their presence has ma-
terially tended to restore tranquillity. A number
of the turbulent had assembled round the Bull
Inn on that day, but soon dispersed on the approach
of the Yeomanry, without having committed any
violence.

The Yeomanry were afterwards employed in as-
sisting the civil power to escort prisoners, some of
whom, after exatnination, were put into post-chaises,
to places of proper security. Some other persons
under deteotion were in the evening discharged ;
and at seven o'clock on Thursday night tranquillity
was coanpletely restored. All who had assembled
bad retired. Yesterday afternoon, about four•
o'clock, one of the privates arrived at the Police
Office on his way to Colonel Oohed), at the bar-
racks, with dispatches from Captain flindley, mid
with the satisfactory intelligence that all was quiet
at Burnley. The Yeomanry had escorted several
prisoners to Padilluen ; and it is expected that the
corps may arrive in Manchester this day, as there
was every probability that the necessity had ceased
for any further continuance on this painful duty.—
