FERIIOY, JULY 21.—This town (a handsome and
stirring one, beautifally situated on the banks of the
Blackwater, and only 18 milk from Cork) is in a
state of the utmost alarm, in consequence of the in-
temperance of the police, and want of caution on the
part of the Magistrates. Last night, between eight .
and nine, some lads, mere children, would celebrate
Mr. O'Connell's return for Clare, by parading
through the town with green boughs in their hands.
There was nothing like noise, not even the shadow
of riot; but the police wishing, perhaps, to do some-
thing for the money they receive, and to make work
where they cannot find it, interfered rudely. The
people became angry, and attacked the police.
Immediately, and without the authority of •-a
Magistrate, the police brought out their arms, and
fired blank Cartridge. This maddened the populace,
and a serious conflict ensued. To cover their pro-
ceedings with some show of legality, the police ap-
plied to a Magistrate, .1;ho, together with two other
gentlemen, repaired to the scene of action. They-
ordered the police to fire, and snatched a gun to lead
the way. The consequence was, four men were
shot—one desperately ; his death is hourly expected,
and I have this moment seen a woman whose escape
is most miraculous. A ball took her just in the
organ which- phrenologists tell us denotes benevo-
lence, and glanced off, inflicting a slight flesh wound.
The Postmaster of this town made an egregious dis-
play of loyalty. On the first scent of a tumult he
armed himself forthwith, but the only opportunity
he found of displaying his love of the laws was
wounding a young boy in the head. The man,
whose case is desperate, was heard to say that the
policeman who shot him had a private pique, super-
added to the general incitement; and a military offi-
cer, whose conduct, together with that of the men
under his charge, .was most praiseworthy, affirmed
that he could identify the policeman who fired the
shot. The expected inquest on the expected death
—an account of which I shall not fail to furnish
you—will give the particulars.of the circumstance in
a more authorised form. As I know, your paper
pursues the audi alteram partem principle, I know
you will not hesitate to publish this—though I ae-
knAledge it has the appearance of partisanship.
Should any body, -for any purpose, seek the name
of the writer, you have full permission to disclose it.
I merely relate facts, but do not attempt any thing
like a description of popular feeling.

So strong is the feeling through the county of
Clare against those delinquent 40s. freeholders, who voted
for Mr. Yvan- FITZGERALD, that some of them near Kil-
rush have come before their parish priest,- and offered to
stand three Sundays on the altar, to atone to their neigh-
bours for the frightful crime ! It is notorious that they
have been shunned and pointed at for their votes given on
that occasion.— Cork Constitution.

The London Unwersity is proceeding rapidly
towards completion ; on Wednesday the window-frames
were put in on the ground-floor, and yesterday morning
the workmen pulled down the greatest part of the paling
in Gower-street, so that this beautiful building is now ex-
posed to public view.

An old copper medal was lately found in one
of the streets of Kincardine, which appears to have been
struck in honour of the memorable battle of Culloden.--
Oil the one side, there is the figure of a man on horseback,
with a drawn sword extended in. his right band,.which is in-
tended for WILLIAM. Duke of CUMBERLAND. It is some-
what larger and thinner than a cerpwon penny. Round the
border, the words " WELL. Duke of CUMBERLAND" are an
legible as when the medal first issued from the mint, and
below the figure of the horse, the words " born 1724.,"
are equally plain. There is also a miniature representation
of a fort with the ensign flying. On the other side, the
rebels are seen flying before the royalist army, with the -
motto—" Rebellion justly rewarded," and at the bottoms
the date, " Culloden, 16th April, 1746." Beth sides Of
the medal are extremely well executed ; and we have no
doubt that many such mementos of that fatal field are in
the possession of our readers.-- Glasgow Fres Press.
