Skipper, after walking 56 miles a day, on Monday and Tues-
day last, between Colchester and Margaretting, relinquished
the undertaking, probably for want of supporters, and finding
that it was as well to play for nothing as work for nothing.

'arm RIOTERS.—The Philadelphia Gat.elle of
Aug. 2 states, that on Monday afternoon, there was a severe c4n-
fleet in that city, among the emigrants lately arrive from Ireland,
which raged for some time with great violence on the wharf be-
tween Race and Vine-K:cets, and in which it is sah'. as ioany
as one or two hundred persons were engaged, and the Police
officers, with the Mayor at their head, had some difficulty in re-
storing order. A number of the ringleaders had been taken
into custody. These disputes originated in a difference of opi-
nion among the emigrants respecting European politics. The
Orangemen on board one vessel celebrated the anniversary of
the, battle of the Boyne, while on their passage to this country.
This gave great dissatisfaction to the Ribandmen, and a battle
ensued on ship-board, in which the latter, being the weaker
party, were conquered. Arrived in this country, they found
their number increased, and renewed their contest.

A few days ago, as some workmen were pull-
ing down an ancient wall on St. David's. Hill, Exeter, they
found deposited under a fountain Stone a very curious
brone medal or counter, about an inch in diameter, and in
fine preservation; from the workmanship it appears to have
hen struck at ,the latter end of the 14th, or beginning of
the fifteenth century, probably in honour of Henry VI., who
was. a great supporter of religious houses : on the obverse
is a whole length figure of a king crowned, standing under
an arched canopy, supported on each side by three thin
pillars, and a sceptre-headed staff in his hand, and on the
legend Ave Maria; on the reverse, within the outer circle,
are fur large double line arches, and in the tressure a small
neat uted cross, each end surmounted by a fleur-de-lis, with
orn erits. This singular piece is now in possession of... Mr.
Shirley Woolmer.—(Dorset Chronicle;)
'We find the following paragraph in the last
Limerick Chronicle, but have some doubts of its
accuracy, having seen no intimation to this effect
from any other quarter :—The. 6tn Geo. IV,
passed in the last Session of Parliament, which
repeals the old system of the Revenue Laws, re-
stores the right of the Officers of the Excise and
Customs, to vote for Members of Purliainent.
which privilege was prohibited by \the 43d of the
late King."
