vate soldier belonging to the 2d battalion of Royal
Veterans, of the name of Thomas Price, having, in
the course of the day, drank a great quantity of spi—

DUBLIN, SEPT. t.,-On Sunday, after a Week's
duration, ended Donnybrook Fair, and it has been
observed with pleasure, that the conduct Of the fre-
quenters of that theatre of popular enjoyment, here-
tofore a scene of inebriety and riot, has been this
season
.peaceable .and orderly to a degree which
evinced improved. manners in the lower order of
satiety. With a disposition thus ameliorated, tll9
assemblage of the people must be surveyed with
pleasure, and none but a misanthrope could resist
those agreeable sensations which arise from seeing a
multitude happy by periodical relaxation, from toil.

Bow-street Officer, to bring him to London. On
the Officer's arrival, in town with him, and an in-
vestigation taking place, be proved to be a lunatic,
who had broke out. of Middlesex' Hospital.

.A Morning Paper speaks of " the dear delights of
Margate." We conceive, however,-that Margate
pleasures have no exclusive right to the epithet, but
that it is at present equally applicable to the amuse•
clients of every other watering place in the kingdom.
