IRELAND,
DESPERATE AND FATAL RIOT.
Itareatete, Sept. ',17--A most lawless and sanguinary
riot took place at the fair of Ently, on Friday last (the
29d till.) which not only prevented the transaction of
business, but melancholy to relate, terminated with the
effusion of blood. It appears that there has been a feud
existing between the families (or rather factions of Ho-
gan and Fitzgerald Isor time immemorial, but kept from
canting to an open conflict by the activity of the vet),
effective Police 01 Tipperary, till this occasion, whet,
these unfortutwe people, to the moldier of several
thooNands, commenced their bloody proceedings before
strati o'clock in the looming, armed with scythes,
sticks, swords, and lire arms. The fought with despe-
rate fury until the coming up of the Police, which put
an end to it. One man, of the name of Donovan, was
killed, and five supposed mortally, and several slightly
wounded. There were 33 prisoners lodged in Tipperary
Gaol by the Police—one of the leaders, an elderly man,
of the Fitzgerald's party, is not expected to recover.—
The Magistrates of the neighbourhood have memora-
lized Government for an increase to the small garrison of
Tipperary.
CtowmeLL, Sept. 27.—Twenty men were committed
to our gaol by the Rev. NVilliam Massey, James Scully,
and Richard Sadleir, Esqrs. for assembling, with a vast
number of others, riotously in arms at the fair of Etnly,
and being concerned in the murder of Mallachy Dono-
van. We regret extremely this official notice of one of
these furious outrages connected with that spirit of fac-
tion, which we hoped was subsiding in this country.—
The multitude assembled on both sides of two contend-
ing parties at the fair of Emily, to determine their hos-
tility by arms was incredible. We have not heard that
more than one life was lost; but sorely one life, or
shedding one drop of human blood in such a species of
conflict, is too much ; and we earnestly trust, that the
respectable magistrates who have so quickly taken up
the business, will not lose sight of it until they make
exataq.les of the ringleaders; and the time for doing so
approaches rapidly. These fellows were apprehended
by Captain %Vilcocks's Police, and escorted by them to
gaol here.

Same persons who were prosecuted for having
exposed to sale knuff-boxes, ornamented with the
portrait of Bonaparte, have been tried and acquitted
by the Assize Court at Lyons.
Wednesday morning, as the Earl of Balcarras was
driving his gig to the House of Lords, he was thrown
from it on the pavement. The carriage was broken,
and his Lordship was considerably hurt.
An extraordinary act of suicide was committed
on Thursday morning, at the house of Mr. White,
chemist and druggist, in Red Lion-street, Holborn,
by a youth of the name of James Whittle, only 14
years of age, who lived there as errand-boy. About
eight o'clock in the morning Mr. White rang the
deceased's bell, in order to send him out with the
morning medicine to his patients, but receiving no
answer, Mr. White went down stairs, when he
found the deceased suspended by a butcher's hook
(used for the purpose of hanging up meat), and
quite dead and cold. He cut him down, but too
late to try any means to restore animation. The
parents of the deceased reside in the same street, and
are very respectable. No muse can be assigned for
She rash act, as the deceased wanted for nothing,
and had a comfortable situation.
