IRISH OU !WAGES.

Alarming symptoms of insubordination have been
lately manifested to a dating extent in Westmeath.
On the night of Monday, the 31st of March, a party
of mm broke into the houses of Mr. Edward Brady
and his herd Thomas Cassidy; beat them severely,
and committed various depredations.
While at Mr. Brady's, a boy ran to Ladiston, and
informed John C. Lyons, Esq. of. what was going
forward. This gentleman instantly armed himself
:and servants, and went to Mr. Brady's assistance,
where one of those misguided legisl.ttors lost his life,
rashly refusing to deliver himsdf to the laws, and to
the instant of his death endeavouring to wrest the
blunderbuss from Mr. Lyons. _ _

Several Whiteboys' notices were found in the pocket
of a man taken up near Alonanimy, some of which
were of the most atrocious description.
In the county of Cork, the Whiteboys have set fire
to several dwelling-houses and out-offices. A cor-
respondent says, " altogether the country appeared
illuminated" with the numerous conflagrations that
could be seen at once.

Saturday sennight, a desperate affray commenced
in Dungarvon between two rival factions, armed with
tremendous bludgeons, stones, &c. and but for the
timely interference of Mr. Lonergan, a Magistrate,
assisted b y Mr. Croke's-, chiefconstable, and his efficient
police, who, in the most determined manner, rushed
in among the rioters, and took several of the ring•
leaders prisoners, the affair would have terminated
fatally. The factions were from different parts of the
county, and agreed to settle their differences there.
Fitzgerald, who was convicted at the last Assizes
of Waterford, for burglary and robbery in the house
of Callaghan M'Carthy, was brought, escorted by a
strong guard of military and police, and a numerous
body of the Gentry, to Old Parish Mountain, between
Dungarvon and Youghal, where he underwent the
awful sentence of the-law on the 31st ult. The un-
fortunate M'Carthy, since the attack on his house,
was barbarously murdered by Fitzgerald.
SACRILEGIOUS OUTRAOR. —On Easter Sunday, a
mob assembled in the elitirch-yard of Ballynamona,
near Mallow, and there interrupted Divine Service,
by making furious noises, and looking with ♦iolent
gestures threugh the windows. The clergyman sent
Mr. Williamson to remonstrate with them on their
conduct. " What," said Mr. Williamson, " should
you think, if a body of Protestants were to insult a
Roman Catholic Chapel in thi. way ?" To which he
obtained no other reply, than " By we would
not let them."

BONING.
BELASCO AND HALTON.
, This battle, for 100 sovereigns a-side, was fought yesterday
on Harpenden Heath, four miles from St. Aline's, and twenty-
five from London. The groupe on the road to action formed a
ntiseeltany very rarely seen, even at a popular Middlesev erecter:re
Every one had his kobby, if he had not a beaten in his ray, tut •
seitrees felt their honour as much at stake as what they termed
Gincistas. Micro, although formerly vanquished by Randall,
trollied on at ten peunajs heavier than Halton, thought it was
(text to a certainty about his winnieg, and so did his friends and
sepporteri, appre'clating his fine science, and they backed him at
sto 4. Halton came to London as the Irish Cisampion, who
had fought his w.ly to fame tidily. lie had <von all his battles,
and that was sufficient, as many suppoted, f.r a match in the
London ring. Harpenden Heath is too far from I.onden to go
into more preface. The reader has the characters of the men bee
fere him, and wr leave the rest to detail. Richmond and Bee
Burn seconded dielasco, and Josh Hudson and Randall effirlateri
for Halton. 01 &disco throwing his castor into the ring it bit w
out again, and the shiners thought it a bad omen : a few mit.etts
elapsed before they shook bands. Halton wanted confidence.
Domes t.—Belasco, after about three minutes sparring, placed
his hits left and right upon the bead, and Halton hit short ht a
close. 'Masco fell, and Halton, although In the heat of actiee,
hit his adversary when supposed down. Cries of " foul" ai.d
" " and a general row. The umpire decided fair.
2. Belasco much out-fought his adversary, bled him at the
mouth, and threw hint.-6 and 7t04 on Belasco
5. Halton went in bent upon mischief, and Bassets waited
upon him as a hawk would a torn tit bird. Halton threw away
his Illows, became intemperate at r.:ceioing, and was 'lobbed away
and worsted at the weaving system, and bled at the ear.
4. In a close lielasen got his adversary's head under his arm,
and fiddled ay....y upon the weaving,system until the claret U. w
in stream., and II droa's chan:e was rather more than precari-
ous-2 to 1 was upon the reaMering system.
S. Halton 'hewed Much anxiety and determination to get in,
but he was .;o out-forgbt by his adversary meeting bitn, end then
breaking ground, that good judges thought unless a tine gilt, It
was Hertfordshire to one of its mill-stream..
6. A game round and much fighting, and !Talton had none
the worst of it; he felt his advt.rsarfs head with hie right hand,
but the blow having been received Upon the retreat, did bet
little execution on the back of the trek
7. Deth.were upon the piping system, and hut little work
done. The men were like tarpenters upon in door work on a
winter's day.
8. Belasco placed a heavy body-blow upon his adversary, and
Halton's hits were avoided by superior science.
Until the 15th roundjklasen led, and then won it without
dropping blood. Halton often got wild, and received blows in
the head and body which geneeetrifred him. He was hit down upon
the weaving game in the moth round, and in the tenth he deuced • •
his adversary. In the thirteenth round Iltiaaco repeated heavy
punisbineer, and the ring became clamorous. It was said that
Ilels%co fell upon his adversary, and foul and fair was most
Ittrily sarg mit ; but the umpire end " fair" won it, and pro-
claimed Delasets the winner.
[KAREL—HaIton is a fine couraged man, tut he had no right
to be matched against ore of the best fighters in the kingdom of
superior weight. 112 is a very indifferent judge of his disc nee,
inasmuch as he never drew blood fmm his scientific adversary,
with all his lunging hitting, and his will to do so Llelaseo be.
got better as a man and a tactician.

Some infatuated of the lower order of the Sister Kingdom got
into the ring, thinking their countryman had not been kindly
treated. They were bludgeon-armed.- Sense countrymen got
into the ring, mistaking them fur pries, and were also armed la
meow. Some Jews, more handy with their autioleys, took the
part of Belem), and a regular mill of a quarter of an hour's dv- '

Sunday morning a disgraceful scene was exhibited upon Leith

cups, repaired to the Lints, where a desperate conflict mom-

and the affair was ccuducted with all dpe regard to ihe poncer-

Description of Mina as a Guerilla Chief, trausipted
from the Spanish of Colonel Don limenes accoent
of that warrior, and sent us by a Correspondent:
~ Mina is a well made man, of a florid complexion,'
robust, and about five feet eight inches high, .a man
of few words, but frank in his manner; lie is very
thoughtful, but never communicative. His Officers,
never, by any accident, know where he intends to
march ; when least expected he places himself at the
head of his men, saying—" Follow me;' and often
marches them in this way SO or 40 miles without al-
lowing horses or men any refreshment.
" When a volunteer joins Mina, he is not allowed
to bring anything but a pair of sandals, half-stock-
kg:, breeches, and jacket. Mina himself never
wears boots or half-boots, but sandals, in order more
. easily to escape by climbing up the sides of moun-
tains if he gets knocked off his horse. He has several
times saved himself miraculously ip this way.
• " Mina is brave to a degree that is incredible, and
has a most powerful arm with the sword. He never
allows gaming either among the Officers or soldiers:
he never takes a regular bred Officer into his corps.
.11e says—' they pretend to have too much theory,
and fail in all their attempts.' Mina has a perfect
knowledge of the whole country, and all the passes
of the mountains, and, whenever it is necessary, he
disperses his people, appointing a particular spot at
some distance off to meet at ; during the war he has
practised this manoeuvre frequently, and with great
success. His corps is by no means numerous, but he
is not anxious to increase its numbers ; he is not vain,
and says fairly, that be can manage a select few
better than a larger number. When a youth wishes
to enlist in the cavalry, after being examined by
Nina, and questioned, he calls for the Commanding
Officer of the infantry, and says—, This boy wishes
to serve in the cavalry, take him first with you, and
let me know how be behaves.t: The first action they
are engaged in, this Captain, who commands the in-
fantry, and is on horseback, keeps the boy close to
him during the whole of the action, and watches
narrowly bow he behaves ; and after • having been
four times in action, if he distinguishes himself, the
Captain brings him to Mina, and says—' This lad
1611 do, he is worthy to die for his country Minx
then furnishes him with arms and a horse, closely
watching him himself, to see bow be behaves. By
these means his corps is composed of the most deter-
Mined and intrepid Spaniards that live."

• IiVirtAAVELS IN AFItICA.-A letter has reached
us Rom Cape Coast, dated 30th Noventber last,
which, among other intelligence, mentions a Tartar
anercbant having succeeded with incredible labour
and difficulty in completing a journey through the
heart of Africa, which must excite great interest
amongst geographers. He commenced his under-
taking at Tripoli, iu the'Levant, opposite to Cyprus,
and passed overland to Alexandria; from this point,
his difficulties increased. He crossed -the Desert to
Angela, Zalu, and Mozoock, Bournou, and Kusluta,
crossed the Niger at Gana to Nykm Zeppoo, and
Moosseedeo ; again crossed the river Niger at Jen-
nee ; from thence to Tumbuctoo, and worked his way
over the Hong Mountains to Diambclla, in the Mun-
dinga country, towards Sierra teone;, he visited the
Ashantee capital, and pursued his journey thence to
Cape Coast. The sufferings undergone by this en-
terprising traveller almost exceed. belief ; in the jour.
ney over the Desert, the whole of his merchandise
was necessarily relinquished by the loss of every out
of his camels, and lie was reduced to the greatest er-
tremity of distress; however, his genius and courage
did n. t desert him, fur he. hit. upon the invaious and
successful -device of manufacturing and selling a co-
louring for the eye-brows, which took wonderfully,
and placed him in comparative affluence. The as
given by this merckant corresponds with the
descriptions we have of the known parts of Africa in
this traveller's route, and there is no doubt enter-
tained of the veracity of his journal.

an advertisement which-il inserted in the Ilamburgh

A, Highlander entered a haberdasher's shop, in
Dundee,, the other day, and asked for a piece of
scarlet cloth to snake him a waistcoat. The rustic
manners of tho Gael set some young women who were
at the counter, agiggling; and the shopman, willing
to afford them sport, began to play off his small wit
upaa " So, goodman, ye want apiece
of scarlet ? Would you know scarlet if you saw it?"
It I tink I wood," replied the Mountaineer. The
shopman threw down a piece of blue cloth : Nis that
scarlet?" " gout, no, no! that no be it." A piece
of green. cloth was produced ; the same question was
repeated, and received a similar answer, to the great
amusement of the querist and his female friends, who
were at no pains to conceal their mirth. The High-
lander took. revenge in his own way: he put his nose
to the cloth, and affected to judge of the colour by
the smell. 'The shopman, at his request, did the
same ; but the instant he beat his nose towards the
counter, the Highlander seized him by the ears, and
made his nasal protuberance come in snth violent
contact with the boards, that the blood sprung from
it. " Tat," said the Highlander, "is ta colour o'
scarlet tae yc noo lad !" and-he walked away

The case of the plaintiff was this:—.The plaintiga a
widow woman, worked for the defendant, a stay ma-
nufacturer, in Blackfriars-road. In the spring of last
year, the plaintiff had sold three pairs of stays to a
retail dealer, named Stone, of Fleeconarket. Shortly
afterwards the defendant called upon Mr. Stone for
orders, the latter being in the habit of deang with
the defendant, but Mr. Stone declined giving any
further orders, alleging, as a reason, that he could
purchase goods at a much cheaper rate from other
persons than-from him. This intimation caused an
inquiry into the foundation for the statement, and
Mr. Stone produced three pairs of stays which he
had purchased of the plaintiff. These the defendant
claimed as his property, and alleged they were made
of his own materials. The plaintiff was sent for; she
came to the shop; Mr. Stone said she was the person
of whoni he bought the stays; the defendant taxed
her with robbing him; she denied it, and the defend-
ant detained her in custody while Mr. Stone and
Misi Pyne, the defendant's journeywoman, went to
search her lodgings, but nothing was found to excite
suspicion. Nevertheless, she was delivered into cus-
tody of a constable, and carried to a watch-house.
Whilst in custody, she delivered up her keys, and the
defendant, in company with the watchhouse-keeper,
went to the plaintiff's lodgings to make further
search. In the plaintiff's drawers twenty-six pails of
stays were found, which the defendant claimed as
his property. He then caused her to be taken before
a Magistrate, and having sworn positively to the
three pairs of stays above-mentioned, the Magistrate
committed her for trial at the Sessions. The plaintiff
remained in Florsemonger-lane gaol for six weeks,
until the Ses;ians, when the Grand Jury ignored the
bill of indictment which was then preferred by the
defendant. In consequence of this proceeding, the
plaintiff commenced the present action. Two of the
plaintiff's daughters swore positively that the plain-
tiff had been a woman who had seen better days;
that from her earnings she had saved money and ma-
nufactured stays, with an intention of setting up bu-
siness for herself in the courtry ; and that the stays
sold to Mr. Stone, as well as those found in the plain-
tiff's drawers, wore manufactured by herself, from
materials purchased with her own money. It was
proved by one of the daughters, that on the day the
Grand Airy threw•out 'the bill of indictment prefeirrd
by the defendant, the latter said he would give 100
guineas if he could go on with the prosecntion. These
were the facts upon which flie_plaintiff's case rested.
On the part of the defendant it was suggested that
the defendant bad forborne, from motives of huma-
nity, to adduce evidence in his possession, which
would have established the 'plaintiff's guilt on the
prosecution above-mentioned. Andliclairaiitirticu4
larly made 'to the evidence ref Miss Pyne, who coidd
have sworn positively to the stays' which had befit
sold by the plaintiff to Mr. Stone, ai the property of
the defendant. It was now proposed to call witnesses
to show—first, that all the stays above mentioned
were the property of the defendant ; and second, that
the plaintiff had confessed to the defendant that the
stays sold by her to Mr. Stone were the property Of
the defendant, and had been detained by her in, con-
sequence of Miss Fyne's omitting to set them (town-in
a book cont,aiiiing entries of work &Mitred to per-
:sons emplayed.out of doors. Miss Tyne and etwo
other workwornen employed by the defendant were
called to prove these facts. The confasion tniore seas
positively sworn to by btu Fyne alult-as to 04k/en-
tity of the stays found. in the prisOner's lodgings,.
there was considerable doubt, and some contradic-

. S. Plank swore that he never said he would break
the old woman's arm, nor anything like it. She op-
posed him in opening a box, and seized him by the
back of the neck. Ife took up a sugar chopper, but
only to break the box open.
Catherine Edwards, the mother of the defendant,
remembered Lack, Plank, and Wales coming to her
house. Plank struck her on the back, and said, in
addition to many opprobrious epithets—" I hive a
warrant to murder you, if I like."—Wales also struck
her.—Defendant's wife corroborated this testimony.
Several other witnesses spoke to the same effect,
and many respectable persons gave the defendant an
excellent character.
The CHAIRMAN summed up the evidence, and the
Jury found defendant Guilty.— Sentence deferred.
William Ealin was indicted for an assault upon
Robert South.

Mr. ALLAY stated the case, from which and the
evidence for the prosecution, it appeared that at the
latter end of htst year, the prosecutor having left his
cart,. which did some injury to the defendant's, the
latter abused, and finally struck the former with
much violence,.and knocked him to the ground, by
which his leg was broken, and he was confined for
six weeks, and the expense of £l2 was incurred for
surgical assistance.
Mr. Watronn addressed the Jury for the defen-
dant, and called a number of witnesses, who swore
that the prosecutor was the first aggressor, and that
he was walking about the next day.
The Jury returned a verdict of Guilty, and the
Court sentenced the defendant to pay a fine of £2O.
