The following is an extra& of a letter from Cafile

the Royal Longford Regiment of Militia, commanded
by the Earl of Granard, has terminated. ft appeared
in evidence, that the nineteen men of that regiment
who had been charged isith the riot at Balinrole,
and committed for trial to prifon, had received every
infult and provocation from the party of the sth
Dragoon Guards, and particularly from the two who
were unfortunately killed in the affray ; and from
the many favourable circumflances that appeared in
the teaimony of the witneffee .for the profecution,
(particularly an officer of the sth 'Dragoon Guards)
of the outrageous and ungovernable difp 'fition of the
other party, the prifoners found it uaneceffary to en•
tet into any vrndioation of themfelves, and the Jury,
therefore, very loon brought in their verdi&—‘. Fif-
teen guilty of Manflaughter in their own defence,"
and the remaining four were acquitted."

Du t.:—On Sunday fe'nnight a meeting took place
at Six Mile Bridge, county of Clare, between Mr.
HAMMOND, of Limerick, and Mr. Kt LLIKF Ly, of the

bitvasys.—Lieut. Delmont, of the 9zd Regiment
of Foot,who waslately (hot in a duel by Lieut. Heazle
of the 3d Regiment of Foot, or Old Buffs, in the neigh'
bourhood of Stroud, Glouctilerfhire, expired the
next morning. An inqueft was taken on view of the
body ; when, after a minute inveßigation, which oc•
copied eight hours, a verdid was returned of " Wil-
ful Murder," againft Lieutenant Heazle, the chal.
lenger, and Lieutenant Sergeaunt, of the 6111 regi_
ment of foot, who was the only fecond in this un.
fortunate affair. They have hitherto eluded the pur-
fuit of juilice. Lieutenant Delmont was (hot in the
back, before, it is fuppofed, he had time to turn
round, on pacing from his antagora to the allot-
ted (pace. The ball, which was difcharged from a
horfe piftol, went through his body, and afterwards
perforated his arm. He continued fenfible till the
lad, and freely forgave his antagonift. The caufe
of the quarrel was an afperfion fuppofed to he palled
upon the charader of a female, with whom Lieute-
nant Heazle was acquainted. They were all lately
recruiting at Stroud.
About fix o'clock onThurfday evening, the remains
of Lieutenant Delmont was interred at Stroud. The
funeral proceffion were condueed with the 111U:telt
propriety and decorum. The pall was fupported by
the officers upon the recruiting fervice in the place,
followed by the chief mourners in cloaks—the me-
dical gentlemen who attended the deceafed, and
affilled at the &ration of the body—the military
parties in the tewn—fix gentlemen of the neighbour
hood, in deep mourning—and the Coroner doled
the proceffion. There was no firing over the grave,
nor did any mufic accompany the proceffion ; but,
on entering and departing from the church, a folemn
dirge was performed upon the organ. An immenfe
concourfe of fpedators attended to witnefs the fo-
!enmity ; and the windows were crowded t ith people
of all ranks, whore feelings were expreffed by their
tears and lamentations.

The deceafed was only at years of age ; and uni
venially efleemed for his amiable dilpolition and
gentlemanly manners. His premature death is molt
fincerely deplored. He was the fon of a Gentleman
in London, who reached Stroud about half an hour
after his diklution ; and whale diarefs ofmind upon
this truly melancholy occalion, was aggravated in
no fmall degree by the circumftance of having loft
another proinifing fon, a fhort time fence, in a fimilar
way, at the ifland of Malta, where he was ferving
with his regiment !

coach driving over him in Leiceßer fields. The fub-
Rance of the evidence is as follows :—Between

longing to a titled family (not the Cnuntefs of Har-
court, as has been erroneoufly Rated), turned round
•from Leiceßer-greet into Leiceßer fields ; there hap-
pened to be a heap of rubbifh and a cart at one fide
of the way, and a barrow with fruit on the other.—
The coachman, anxious to pars Readily through the
Rreight, had his attention turned to what was on
either fide of him ; the deceafed, a boy about feven
years old, attempted to run at that moment from
the foot pavement to the heap of rubbifh, where there
were other boys at play ; the horfes knocked him
down, and the coach drove over him, before the ac-
cident was known. lie was taken to a furgeon's, but
it was impuffible to bleed him, and he died in about
five minutes after the accident. All the witneffes bore
teflimony to the good conduit of the coachman, who
was driving, it appeared, very gently at the time,
and they verily believed could not, in the fit uation in
which he was placed, have obfervcd the fudden dart
of the boy acrofs the greet. The verdiit was—Acci-
dental Death—but a deodand was levied foithe wheel
