GALWAY, JUNE 20.—Since the .disturbance of.
Monday last, this town has been perfectly tranquil. The fisher-
men took to their hcsats, and went to sea early in the week, and
provisions having experienced a seasonable reduction in price,
no further commotion is apprehended. It was feared that the
country people, hearing of the violence committed on Monday,
would not bring their goods into the market ; and on ‘Vednes-
day the supply was scanty, from that cause; bat an abund-
ance of potatoes was brought in on Saturday, and sold at four-
pence a stone. This ;is not an extravagant price, though a
fraction over threepence always pinches the poor man ' • -but in
the present dearth of employment any price at all must distress
him. Of the scarcity of money you .may judge from that at
Loughrea, in this county, when the famishing people were
