DOWNP7TIMCI -, Atm. 2.

During the Race: at Downpatrick Course, Wednes
day evening, air-party paraded the race ground with
drum and fife, playing Patrick's Day, &c. and firing
shots occasionally. A few straggling Protestants only
were beaten this night. On the following evening a
similar display was made, and a number of Protestants
desperately beaten. One Woods, and one Vance, of
Downpatrick, and another called Kirk, were left for
dead in a field adjoining, and some passengers who in-
terfered, were grossly assaulted and abused by them.
.But the night of Friday was the grand climai of their
operations. A mob, consisting of upwards of 200,
introduced the proceedings of the night, by beating and
maltreating every Prote,tant they could distinguish ;
not fully satisfied, they. began to wreak their vengeance
.on the tents of the Protestants, four of which they de-
stroyed, by cutting and tearing the covering, demolish.
ing the timber, drinking the liquor, and breaking the
vessels. Plunder seemed to form a part of their design ;
for when the unfortunate ocoupants had fled to save
their lives, nearly in a state of nudity, most of them
having retired to rest after the fatigue of the day, they
carried off beds, bed clothes, wearing apparel, victuals,
liquors, and every article they could lay hold of, shout-
ing and yelling all the time like fiends; and when they
had succeeded in breaking up the vessels, and whilst the
liquor was running, vociferating—,g There goes the
Protestant whiskey—there goes another Orange cask,"
offering at the same time 64501. for the face of a Pro-
testant or Orangeman." The appearance of the ground
neat morning was truly terrific ; sail cloths torn to atoms,
—tent-timber, casks and barrels, tables, chairs, forms,
jugs, bottles, tumblers, &c. could only be known by did
fragments that remained. /got a whole vessel or utensil
of any description could be discovered, but all the pro.
party of those who unquestionably struggled to make
their appearance as respectable as possible was rendered
a total ruin.--Belfast News Letter:

Someludicrous dips have occurred at Billingsgate.
Mrs.Sheenan, from St. Giles's, who was dressed exactly
like Liston, as Moll Flaggon, fell overboard ; but, many
thanks to her upper toggery, and a hook in the side of
the boat, which caught hold of it, she only suffered a
severe fright, and a dangling between heaven and
water, for five minutes, to the great amusement and
laughter of the bystanders, which was much increased
by the discovery of one part of her dress being much
more applicable to her husband. She, however, was
brought safe on shore without her oysters,_ and escaped,
that ablution which upwards of a score of persons met
with, contrary to their wishes, on Saturday.
