Yesterday Ann Simpson, Catherine Egg, Ellen
Barnett. Mary Brian, Ellen Regan, Isabella Graves,
and Ann .lackson, Irishwomen, who supply the in-
habitants of the ,astern district with fish, and are
well known at Billingsgate fir their pugilistic pro-
pensities, were charged with assembling, in Blue-
gare.-fii-Ids, Shad well, on the previous night, for the
purpose of " settling a dispute," to the great terror
of all his Majesty's peaceable subjects, and in defi-
ance of his laws. It appeared, from the evidence
of Eagle, a policeman, that about twelve o'clock he
wire alarmed by screams of murder, arid shrieks of
numberless women, and other noises, proei eding from
the place mentioned. He repaired to the spot, and

were without caps, and had their hair pulled out by
the roots ; and several were lying prostrate in the
mud, with broken heads, dislocated noses, black
eyes, and bruised limbs ; while fragments of shawls,
bonnets, and gowns were lying about in all direc-
tions. lie sprung his rattle, which brought a num-
ber of other officers to the spot, and the combatants,
like rabbits creeping into their burrows, soon disap-
peared in the tenements surrounding the field of
battle. Peace was not of long duration, for
soon afterwards the prisoners, whose fury was not
exhausted by the first onslaught, again returned arid
renewed the conflict, and would have pulled each
other to pieces had not the police again interfered
and secured them. All the prisoners were more or
less disfigured from blows, and, except from the fact
that their dialect bespoke them to be natives of the
sister isle, it would have been impossible to have
told whether their complexions were white er black,
so effectually had they been rolled in the mud. They
each accused each other of beginning the skrini-
mage, and said they came to make pace. They also
acciised the policemen of using them very roughly,
and " riot at all like ladies."
The officers said they would sooner have had 100
men to deal with than these seven women ; and ap-
pealed to their faces, which were disfigured with
scratches from the nails of the ladies. They said
these rows amongst the Irish venders of fish were
veiv frequent.
The inhabitants complained loudly of the noise
occasion by this battle of the Amazons, which, it
seems, originated in a quarrel at Billingsgate, in the

THE CONDEMNED RIOTERS AT NOT-
TINGHAM.—We understand that the petition from Not-
tingham, for sparing toe lives of the five rioters senterced
to death, bears the signatures of more than twenty thou-
sand persons residing in that town and its immediate
vicinity. Nothing can exceed the anxitly which prevails
to obtain for those unfortunate men the mercy of the
Crown.—Morning lien,ld.

Some indistinct whispers have reached us re-
lative to a private soldier whose remains were interred in
the course of last w eek. As far as we can understand
them, it appears that he was sentenced to receive a certain
nnrnner of lashes for permitting a prisoner to elude his
vigilance, while on duty, and escape from tie new gaol a
lt.w weeks i•ince. It is s tid that, alter receiving a portion
of the punishnient, by the advice of the surgeon w o at-
tended its infliction, the remainder was deferred until the
man should have been sufficiently recovered from tie effects
of his first chastisement to enable him to hear it without
endangering his life. This measure of precaution, how •
ever, it is said, was nut adopted until so touch violence
had been done to his system as shortly to place hint beyond
the reach of his tormentors. Barbarous as is such a trans-
action, we are, nevertheless, by the knowledge of similar
occurrences, prevented front altogether discrediting it. At
present, we can only say that, if there be any truth in it,
we shall be happy to be furnished with well-authenticated
particulars, which we promise to lay before the public at
the earliest moment.—Bristol Mercury.
