DUBLIN, JOLT 17.

In confequenee of a dangerous and. alarming
riot having taken place at Struyle Well, county
of Down, on Sunday the 27th of June laft, wherein
two perfons 101 l their lives, and feveral were badly
wounded ; and there being reafon to fear the fir.
ment and animolity refulting from thence may be
produ&ive of further fatal didurbances, the Earl ,
Of LONDONDERRY, Governor of the county, has
called a meeting of Magifirates, to be, 'ncld at I
Downpatrick, on Monday nnt.
The Coroner's Inquett, held r.,11 Thurfday on
the body of the young man •.eeently killed in Ke.
vin.firect, brought a vel:tet of wilful murder by a
gusejbot wound, ittsP2.nfl a perfon of the name of
Shields and accomplices. The 11;04 learrit
has been ;wide after the murderer by Mr. Alder-
man POOLF, Mr.s„Aldocsman STA ME N, Mr. j IGCC
UEFA., and other ItTigiftrates, laudably active in
difcharge of their duty, but hitherto in yin.
Tuefday night 1111, about midnight, lir well.
dreffed armed ruffians entered the hour: of Mf.
.Bur Las, at Ballinarcorney, near Rathfarnhatr,
and after tying him, his wife, mother, and chil
dren, robbed the place of every portable article,
carrying away the whole of the wearing apparel
of the family.
On Sunday night laft, a Mr. Notes: was flop-
ped a little after ten o'clock, on the road leading
from Terenure to Rathmines, near Rathgar Caf-
tle, by four footpads, each armed with pifiols,
who, after blindfolding him, robbed him of his
purfe, a gold watch, chain, &c.

We have authority to contradid a paragraph,
which firft appeared in an Edinburgh paper, and
was afterwards copied into the London papers,
slating that Lord BEI L ENDEN had fold his Heri-
table Office of Ulher of Exchequer in Scotland,
it not being true.

At New York the molt vigorous meafures are
purfued by the Board of Health to prevent the in-
troduCtion of penitential difeafes.
At Glouceth.r Fair, on Monday week, there was
a good (hew of cattle, and an extraordinary num-
ber of fat (beep ; but flock of every defcriptien
maintained their former prices. Good horf,:s fold
high.

At Brecon Fair, on Monday and Tnefday fe'n-
night, there was but an indifferent (hew of cattle
and horfas, which were fold cheap; and pigs, of
which there was an unufnal number, alio felt a
confiderable depreMon in price. The demand for
leather WAS very bra, and the whole was fold at
an advanced rate of about sd. per lb.

Letters from Leipfic, dated June 27, Rates : ••••
"The Eager fair of this year was very at : not
only the Englifli and Scotch tent us a great quan-
tity of merchandi2e, but the French took advan-
tage of the peace of the North and the re-eflablilh-
merit of their commercial relations with Ruffla, to
fend hither objeas of luxury of every kind mann-
fadured on purpofe for the moment. The roads
were covered with carriages, loaded with filk fluffs,
porcelain, jewellery, lace, &c. The Merchants of
Macedonia brought us alfo as ufual the natural
and manufadured produaions of Turkey. Italy
alone was behind, and does not teem to have re-
covered its former commercial aaivity.
Among the many aas of human degeneracy,
of which we daily hear, we know of none fo ag-
gravating in its circumftances as the following,
which is the fuhftance of the evidence of Captain
Walker, of the Royal Geerge merchantman, taken
on Wednefday lag, before the Mayor of Portf-
mouth, on the examination of Archibald M.Mul-
len, the late boatfwain of the faid fhip, for the
murder of a Negro !lave in the month of Auguß,
1799, when on a voyage from the coati of Africa
to Greneda. It appeared that *Mullen had
been ferving the flares their provifions, when he
was rather intoxicated, and obferving that one of
them did not eat his allowance, beat him nioll
cruelly on the head with the handle of his cat, a
Rick about an inch in diameter, and alf,) with his
• fill, when the poor African fell againti one of the
guns ; that he then run has Rick againit his flu-
mach, and with it thrufl the meat down his throat;
he afterwards gagged him, put a collar on his
neck, another on his thigh, and irons on his legs.
In this Rate the decearcd remained until the next
morning, when he was brought upon deck, and
immediately fell down and expired. During the
whole of this inhuman brutality, the Negro made
not the leaß refinance. M4Mullen was committed
to take his tt ial at the next Admiralty &Mans for
the offence, and Mr. Walker is bound over in
i aool. to profecute and give evidence againa him.
