conflict took place on Saturday last, between a party of Orange-
men and Yeomen, who were marching through Omagh, and the
Militia quartered there, in which, it was said, five of the Yeo-
men and Orangensen were killed. Detachments of the 69th and
Enniskillen dragoons, quartered here, marched thither on the
following day, to restore peace and got.d order, which, we un-
derstand, has been happily effected, and the ringleaders secured."

returned from Peckham Fair to their lodgings in Peer-
less-row, City-road, could not make the people of the
house hear; and he procured a ladder to get in at the

pct-wAll, it unfortunately gave way ; he fell on the
pavement, and fractured his skull in so shocking a
manner that he died while taking to the hospital.
On Sunday a poor woman in White Hart Yard,
Drury-lane, called on a female neighbour, to demand
a trifling debt, which so incensed the virago, that
without making any answer, she struck her so vio-
lently on the head with a pewter pot, as to fracture
her skull, and it is reported the died yesterday
morning.

BOW.STREET.—Yesterday, a person employed in the inland
Office of the Post-Office, was brought up for re-examination,
charged with having committed robberies in that department, to
a great extent. A woman, with whom the prisoner cohabited,
and who had been ext •emely active in passing several bank post-
bills, part of the property stolen by the prisoner, was brought in
custody with the prisoner, and fully committed.
Saturday, the following cause was investigated :—The wife of
a farmer, of Hampshire, about 50 year* of age, had thought pro-
per to leave her home, with a young man, about 23, and took
with her about £4O. The farmer discovered the elopement,
immediately went in pursuit, and arrived at the Golden-Cross,
Charing-Cross, where he found them in the act of alighting from
the stage-coach, and immediately gave them in custody of the
watchman. Tho story being unfolded to the Magistrate, by the
husband, with the natural feelings of a man so circumstanced, be
recommended him to take from the wife what property she had
in her possession, which amounted to about .Cl., which he did.
The gallant being next questioned as to what property he had in
his possession, he said about £l4; but, upon examination of a
bundle of notes, which he took from his pocket, it amounted to
LW, which left no doubt to presume was the property of the
husband. After some interrogation, the lover very candidly con-
fessed it had been given to him by the wife, aud appeared well
satisfied in restoring it to the owner.

Matssiow-Housa.—Yesterday Siheeler Casey, a shopman to
Mr. Blackburn, in the Minories, was charged on suspicion of
having robbed his employer of florentine, silks, cloths, &e. to a
conniderable amount. Mr. B. stated that he had lost property to
the amount of £lOO since the prisoner bad lived with bins ; that
the custom of his shop was that in cutting off any number of
yards from a piece on sale, they marked the goods cut off upon a
card attached to the piece, that upon examining the piece, he
found the prisoner had altered the figures, so as to make the piece
answer to whatever he cut of Some further proof being wanted,
the prisoner was remanded for further examination.
