The Dublin journals, of Tuesday last, received tldi
morning, make mention of an affray having taken
place at Armagh, on the 12th inst. between a party
of Orangemen and I'6l)lmm/refl. It appears that the
former were, on that day, proceeding peaceably to
their !mines, when they were furiously attacked by
the latter, in consequence of which the Orangemen
retreated to their depot, from which they fired on
their assailants and killed three Oil the spot, and
wounded others.— The same papers mention, that
they had received a letter from Liverpool, stating that
a serious riot had taken place there on the same day,
between the Orangemen and Ribbon men, that 18 or .
20 had been killed, and a number wounded ; but on
referring to the Livet pool papers of Tuesday last,
they make no mention of any circumstance of the
kind having taken place.
PIKE HEADS consequence of private
information received by Mr. Blennerhasset, that Gen.
tleman proceeded on the 9th inst. to a mountain called
Knockfierna, six miles horn Rathkeale, county Car•
low, and found fifty-nine pike heads, which were con-
cealed in a dry well. The pike heads are ten' inches
long, and similar to those used in the insurrection of
1803. They are so formed as to be easily cat ried in
the pocket, and could be mounted in a few minutes.
MELANCHOLY OCCURRENCE.—A Catholic Clergy.
man, of the name of Donovan, who officiated, we un-
derstand, at Blessington, learned in the course of his
vocation some circumstance tending to remove the
imputation of guilt from, if not to prove the intro.
cence of two unfortunate men, sentenced to death at
Carlow a day or two back. Such was this excellent
man's anxiety to turn this information to the advan-
tage of the unhappy accused, that, though nearly 70
years of age, he rode on Saturday upwards of sixty
miles on this praiseworthy business, and reached the
Vice-regal Lodge at the Park on Saturday evening
last, too late to see the Lord Lieutenant. The Rev.
Gentleman was promised an audience on Sunday
(yesterday) morning, at ten. He put up.at the Queen's
Head Hotel, in Bride-street (Dent pster's), for the night,
and rose at half-past seven yesterday mmning, though
still labouring under all the effects of his great ex-
ertions, and dressed himself. Wearied with anxiety
and exhaustion, he just sat down to wait the proper
moment for starting, in order to be at his destination
in time, and; melancholy to relate, without evincing
the most trifling struggle, and as he sat, yielded up
his pure spirit. Every exertion was made to re-ani-
mate him, both by the family and surgeon Wright,
who instantly.attended, but without effect. Exhausted
nature could beacno more than he had endured on
this mission of mercy; lie had breathed his last. We
hope the secret did not die with him, but that the
pious work which cost him his valuable life may be
consummated by some other person properly quali-
fied for the purpose.—Dublin Paper.
FRACAS EXTRAORDINARY --We have been informed
that a fracas extraordinary occurred on Saturday, be-
tween Sir C— C— and the Editor of the Dublin Even-
ing Mail, in consequence, as it is alleged, of an ar-
ticle published on Wednesday in that Journal. Sir
C— C— and Ciptain W— called frequently at. the
Office, in Parliament-street : at five o'clock on Satur-
day, ;hey sought and obtained an interview with tl,e
Editor, who received them alone. Sir C-- C—, as it .
is stated, demanded an explanation relative to that
particular ankle in the Evening Mail, and inquired
if the " Sir C— C—" therein mentioned alluded to
him ? In reply, the Editor said he would not declare
that the article alludei to him (Sir C. C.), neither
would he say that it did not allude to him. The
next proposition made, was a demand that the writer
of the article should be given up. The Editorof
Evening Mail answered, that such a course would be
contrary to the principle upon which he had been
accustomed to act. Then," exclaimed Sir C— C—,
" you, I suppose, are prepared to become responsible
fur the writer?' The reply was in the affirmative.
If our information be correct, Sir C— C— struck the
Editor, :tad was struck in turn. Captain W—, it is
also said, assaulted the Editor. • " That will prove
the dearest blow you, Gentlemen, ever gave," as it
has been represented, was the last remark of the Edi-
tor, and the conclusion of the transaction. The mili-
tary Gentlemen then retired. The affair having trans-
pired, the Magistrates of the head office of police
caused all the parties to give bail, in order to prevent
a breach of the pace; the required sureties were en-
tered into, and there, for the present, the matter
rests.—Dublin Paper.
Tuesday night MATES, a Messenger,

LEY, at Vienna. At the same time Mr. WALSH, ann.
ther Messenger, was sent off with Dispatches to .Sir
