DUBLIN, Sept. 18.

The suspicious craft which was reported a few
days since to be hovering about the coast of Derry
is now flitting along the western shore like a will-o'-
the-wisp, exciting vague apprehensions, and escap-
ing her Majesty's gunboats and coastguards con-
stantly on the alert. A report from Cahirciveen on
Sunday announces "something remarkable," and
that the " Coastsguards seem as if they expected
another rising." From Limerick we hear that on
Monday " a strange-looking craft, clipper built,
seemingly about 800 tons, and with a black hull"
was twice seen sailing to the westward, and from
Valeutia, that the Imogene has been watching for
"a suspicious looking sloop." These rumours show
the timidity of people in remote places, but excite
little attention here. The authorities, however,
are exercising a sound judgment in maintaining a
vigilant supervision along the coast.

The magistrates at Rathfriland have decided upon
sending forward informations for trial at the assizes
against the following persons, who are charged with
taking part in the Roman Catholic procession :
John Lennon, Johu Burns, Francis M'Conville,
Daniel Carr, jun., Peter Downey, Daniel M'Con-
ville, Edward M'Kenna, Hugh M'Alinden, Peter
WAvoy, Daniel M'Alinden, John Heenan (" Hill-
town Jack"), John M'Alinden, Thomas Toner,
Andrew Ryan, Michael Fitzpatrick, Edward Me-
graw, Peter Burns, and Patrick Connor. Twenty-
five of the Protestant party were then charged with
riot and unlawful assembly. The evidence against
them is not yet closed.

Another faction fight is reported to have occurred
in Athlone on Sunday last. The immediate cause
of quarrel was a dispute about land between the
Curniffs and the Hugheses. They met after Divine
service in a publichouse, and after drinking for a
couple of hours the prelude to the fray was delivered
in the usual terms—" there was not a Hughes
that the Curniffs were not able to beat." The
Hugheses having by some unaccountable accident
forgotten their blackthorns, became scrupulous about
the observance of the Sabbath, and thought it would
be better to settle the dispute at some other time.
The Curniffs not being so piously disposed, urged
the propriety of " making a beginning," and leav-
ing the finishing touches to be applied next morn-
ing. They enforced their advice by keeping their
companions in the room, and then made a beginning
on the heads of the Hugheses, which in a very short
time would have made an end of them if the pro-
prietor of the house, actuated by the tenderest
motives where liberal customers were concerned,
had not succeeded in obtaining an entrance into the
room with a party of neighbours and delivered the
Hugheses from the hands of their enemies. Such
scenes as these are not unfrequent in country towns
on the day of rest.
The Lord Mayor of Dublin has drawn up a report
on the coal trade, which contains some useful infor-
mation. The value of coals imported is about half
a million a year. Until recently no effectual mea-
sures were adopted to check fraudulent practicesf
but chiefly through his exertions six weigh-
houses have been established for the gratuitous
use of the public, and competent officers have been
appointed to test the weights. As regards the
quality of the article sold, he points out a defect in
the Act of William IV., cap. 21, which regulates
the trade in Dublin. It provides that a price and
denomination be stated on a board affixed to the
masthead, but does not require, as the Act Ist and
2d of Vict., cap. 110, does for the port of London,
that the quality also should be specified. The ave-
rage yearly revenue to the corporation from the dues
upon vessels over 40 tons entering the port amounts
to £2,429 a year. The quantity of coals imported
annually is 585,900 tons, upon which he proposes to
levy off all vessels a charge of ld. or 2d. per ton for
in the same way as at the
weighing upon machines,
pit's mouth, instead of in tubs, as at present. He
recommends that the bags for delivery be subject to
inspection ; that coal carts, like ordinary cabs, be
numbered, licensed, and registered, and the drivers
badged. The interests of the public require that
some such regulations as the Lord Mayor suggests
should be made for the prevention of fraud.

BOAT RACE FOR £4OO.—A match took place on
tho Ouse yesterday for £4OO between Joseph Sadler, of
Putney, and James Percy, of Newcastle. It was won by
Sadler by four lengths.
DEATH FROM BURNING.—On Monday Mrs.
Foother, 82 years of age, residing at Birmingham, was ac-
cidentally burnt. The deceased had been lighting the
gas, and dropped a portion of the binning spill on her
dress. She was standing near the window at the time
,and the flames set the curtains on fire. Assistance was
speedily at hand, but the poor lady died from the injuries
she received.
THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION.—The Californian
left the Mersey on Tuesday, and the City of Manchester,
Kangaroo, West Indian, and Bosphorus yesterday. The
only transport now remaining is the City of Dublin, which
was injured by the collision with the steamer Ruby. She
is undergoing repairs, and will be ready to sail with the
afternoon tide of Sunday neat.
