SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

TA TT I. RSA LL' S.

The settling day for Ascot Heath Races took place yesterday;
it was infinitely smaller than we have known it en many former
occasions, owing to the cup having caused less speculation.
While speaking of the cup, we may state that the obnoxious re-
strictive clause introduced in its conditions since 1829 will not be
repeated next year, his Majesty having expressed his decided dis-
approbation of it. In consequence of the settling, very little
business was done on the St. Leger, nor did the few engagements
made produce any change of moment. Marcus was backed at
EN to 1 to 20 1. by one who ought to know something about him.
The Saddler was backed at 12 to 1; Frederica fell back several
points, having been beaten at Newton last week ; they say she
was amiss : if so, why did they run her? Lord Exeter's Folly
colt has risen a point or two for the Dcrby, but little or nothing
was done. Thu general average prices will be found below :

very interesting accounts of the Gabelin's Tapestry, the
Tarantula, the Idol Thor, and the Troubadours; alto.

and entertaining historical information as we have ever had
the satisfaction of perusing.

BIRTII EXTRAMIDINARY.—On Monday
last Mrs. MARY NEWPORT, of Farley's-cottage. Coronation-
road, Bedminster, was confined with three living children,
two sons and one daughter. The mother of this trio ij
about 32 years of age; the honourable sire three score!
There seems to have existed a prolific propensity in this
woinan's family, herself being one of twins ; her brother,
born at the same time, married, and his wife in her first
accouchement was delivered of twins ; and several of the
female branches of her family, on her father's side have bad
from 11 to 21 children in family.

CLARE SPECIAL COMMISSION.

ENNIs, JUNE 2.—The Judges, Mr. Justice Moore
and Mr. Justice Jebb, were escorted from Limerick.
on Wednesday, to Newmarket-on-Fergus, by 8
strong party of military and police. At Newmarket.
they were met by George Studdert, Esq., the High
Sheriff of the county; Robert Green, Esq., the Sub-
Sheriff; and a party of the 17th Lancers.
This morning, soon after ten o'clock, the Judges
came into Court, which was completely filled by the
gentry of the county.
Mr. Justice MOORE charged the Grand Jury.
He proceeded to detail the provisions of the White-
boy Act, and the penal enactments it embodied.
The enforcement of these laws had been crowned
with success in Mayo and Sligo in 1808—subse-
quently in Kerry, Waterford, Limerick, and Tippe.
rary, and in 1821 in the county of Cork, where the
battle of Carrigomma had been fought, in which
thousands of assembled men joined in the warfare
against the military, yet the strong arm of the law
was thereby successful and triumphant. The state
of the county of Clare now presented the character
of, and much resembled a volcanic eruption : some
of its sparks had reached Limerick, but, to the credit
of that county be it spoken, they had drawn the
cordon sanitaire, if he ought to use the expression,
round their precincts, and, before the Special Com-
mission issued, the effects of it were destroyed.
Michael Mac Namara, John Neylan, John Do-
nohoe, Patrick Ross, Patrick O'Conner, Patrick
Quin, James Neybin, James Quin, Michael Magee,
John Clanchy, James Quin, the younger, James
Roche, James Linnane, and Patrick Hynes, were
indicted for having on the 31st of March last felo-
niously administered to the Rev. Oliver Grace, at
Kilkeadv, an unlawful oath, to the effect that he
would quit and give up his lands and premises on
the following day. They were charged in a second
indictment with administering an unlawful oath to
one Nicholas Robinson. To both indictments the
prisoners pleaded not guilty.
The Jury brought in a verdict of Guilty against
all the prisoners on both indictments.
Mr. Justice JEBB immediately sentenced the pri-
soners to transportation for life. They heard their
doom with the utmost unconcern, and were removed.
The Court adjourned.
The following is an abstract of the number of
cases and prisoners for trial at the Special Commis-
sion now holding in Ennis:—Appearing armed at
night and attacking dwelling-houses, 96; appearing
in arms at night, 4 ; appealing in arms by day, 21;
appearing disguised by day, 2; administering illegal
oaths, 4; assault with intent to deprive a soldier of

the county of Galway :—Charged with murder, 3;
attacking dwelling-houses, feloniously taking arms,
and administering illegal oaths, 22; appearing in
arms by night, 7; attacking houses and demanding

vering Terry Alt notices, 1; houghing and killing

corrupt perjury, 1 ; minor offences, B.—Total, .57.
POLITICAL PROSECUTIONS.—We are glad to have
it in our power to state that all prosecutions for
political offences have been abandoned. A happier,
and let us hope, a more tranquil era is about open-
ing on the country.—Dublin Evening Post.
A deputation. consisting of gentlemen and clergy
of both religious denominations, arrived in town
yesterday evening from the Mayo Central Commit-
tee, for the purpose of laying the stare of the suf-
ferers before the Irish Government. The depute•
tion consists of the Right Rev. Dr. Machale ; John
Browne, E•q., M.P. for Mayo; the Rev. Mr. Stock,
Protestant Rector of Crossmolina; the Ree. Ber•
nard Burke, C. R. of Westport; the Rev. Mr.
Lyons, C.R. of Kilmore Erris ; G. V. Jackson,
Esq.; and Captain Stewart. We have heard one
of those gentlemen declare, that if they fail in their
mission, he is afraid to return home; that, if relief
be withheld, it is impossible, unless by the mira-
culous interposition of Providence, for thousands to
escape death by famine for ten days. According to
the authenticated reports laid before the last gene-
ral meeting of the central committee, the number in
absolute want then was 106,401! We have,
amongst many others, seen a document from Gal-
way, signed by the Right Rev. Dr. French, and all
the respectable gentlemen of that town, describing
most afflicting distress there also ; and a portion of
Donegal is likewise reduced to want and misery.—
Freeman's Journal.

Mr. Courtney, the person who has been confined
in Newgate since Saturday last, charged with stab•
bing his wife and Captain Barker, was admitted to
bail yesterday to stand his trial before the Recorder.
Courtney gave bail himself in 100/., and two sureties
in 501. each.—Evening Mail.

RIOTS AT MERTHYR-TYDVIL.

EXTRACT OF A LETTER FROM CARDIFF, DATED JUNE 4.

" At the Merthyr iron-works the men have all
risen against their masters. The whole of the works
are at a stand still. Mr. had given notice to his
men of an intention to reduce their wages, in conse-
quence of which they struck, and yesterday the mi-
litary were called into Merthyr. Mr. was the
only person they would speak to, and during the
time he was endeavouring to prevail upon them to
disperse, a stranger was raised on the shoulders of
the mob, who excited them to such a degree by in-
flammatory language, that an attack was immediately
commenced against the inn where the magistrates
were assembled, and against the military themselves.
The consequence was, that twelve of the men were
shot dead on the spot, two of the soldiers were
killed, and several more are wounded, among the
latter of whom is the Major of the 93d Regiment.
From forty to fifty of the mob were wounded be-
sides. They then dispersed, and went into the
neighbourhood in quest of arms ; but as late as six
&clock in the morning all was quiet. This being
market-day, however, it is feared that another attack
will be made on the military.

,t No news. I understand there are sixteen killed in
all. The road from Brecon to Merthyr is blocked up, and
no passage over it is allowed. The object of the mo ap-
pears to be to surround the place ; they are going there
from all parts of Monmouthshire, and even so far as
Swansea. They are said to be all organized and in union
with Birmingham and Manchester. Hopes are enter-
tained, however, that the rioters will come to some terms
to-day with the masters. They took twenty barrels of
powder from the Dowlain works."

(From the Cambrian of June 3.)
FRIDAY, JUNE 3 —About eight o'clock last night,
the mob attacked Mr. Coffin's house (the Court of
Requests), and af'er demanding the books, they
commenced their depredations, broke the windows,
and destroyed every article in the house, except in
one room, and attempted to set it on fire, but the
wind being in an unfavourable direction, they failed
to do so. About 70 men of the 93d Regiment
arrived at the Castle Inn from Brecon, at eleven
o'clock this morning, where there were some thou-
sands of men assembled, to parley, as they said,
with Mr. Guest, Mr. Crawshav and others, respect-
ing an increase of wages, but evidently for the sake
Of mischief alone. After being exhorted for some
time by-Mr. Guest to disperse peaceably, and get-
ting more riotous, the soldiers were ordered to fire,
and, shocking to say, fourteen persons were

killed ! The-
.men fought desperately for about
ren minutes, and then fled. There are some
hundred soldiers arrived here since the affray, and
think you may now rest easy as to any more mis-
i!hief being done to-night, and I hope the worst is
over. Indeed, the mob from the first appeared ti
have had no animosity against the trade; their soh
object seemed to be an increase. of wages, and rn
lestroy the Court of Requests. A note, dated this
morning (Saturday), says—" Nothing has occurret
since last night, and I think we need be under nn
apprehension of a fresh attack on the military. I
had only left the crowd a few minutes yesterday.
before the soldiers fired, and I find that not more
han eleven men and three women have been killed."
Two detachments of the Swansea Cavalry left here
his morning for Merthyr; and by express we learn
:hat the first was met on Hirwain-common by a
body •of the rioters, and was completely surrounded
end disarmed : bnt no contest took place between
them. A further supply of arms and ammunition
'las been forwarded to the cavalry, but we trust all
occasion for the supply has ere this subsded. We
understand that before the firing commenced the
mob rescued from the detachment of the 93d Re-
timent 30 stand of arms, and that the Major and
several of the men were severely wounded.
