Et. CTION/ERIN(' FRACAS. A disgraceful scene
took place at Retford, on Thursday, and of all places the Church
and Church-yard were the principal scenes where tumult and dis-
order prevailed ; a contest took place between opposite parties for
the possession of the bells ; the Church was attacked by means of
ladders, and carried by assault, the belfry door broken open, and
those who were ringing forced out. The Vicar interfered, and a
most atrocious riot, in defiance of the civil power, closed a scene
never drpasied within the precincts of a place of Religious Wor-
ship. Sir H. DIDIDAS and Mr. WItIONTSON were afterwards
assailed when leaving the town, with stones and bricks and the
carriage-windows entirely broken—in short, the Magisterial autho-
rity is so entirely overpowered by the populace, that we upder-
stand the Bailiffs intend applying to the Secretary of State fur pro-
tection and assistance.

Friday was the day appointed for another deer to he turned nut
at the Magpies Inn, Hounslow Heath ; but the denseness of the
fog in the morning was such that it was deferred turning out the
stag to the following morning; numbers of sportsmen who were
assembled at that spot were in contegnenee disappointed. The
deer and the hounds were kept all night at Longford to be in reldi.
nese fur Saturday morning, When they turned out at the Magpies
Inns and had an excellent day's sport.

By the arrival of a Lis! on Mail we have received
Cannes from the 31st of January 10 the sth Instant. They state
that a Committee has been appointed for allotting the prizes takes
1 during the Peninsular war. _
We understand that Mr. HUDSON GUS NRY, though
a very extensive Banker, has so great an objection to the small
notes, that he has not for several years past puthis name to any
note under 51., nor would be do so en any account.

' It is mentioned on the authority of letters from
Rome, that about a dozen young men had been arrested in that
city, and transferred to the Castle of St. Angelo. Some among
them were persons employed by the Government ; they all be-
longed to very respectable families. Various conjectures were
afloat to account for these arrests, respecting which nothing bad
transpired at Rome. It was thought they were connected with
a society of Carhograri.
Saturday a private meeting was called of the
greatest merchants and capitalists of the City, for the purpose of
applying to Government for the loan of Exchequer Bills on pro-
perty. The important measures proposed are yet in arrangement.
GIPILDHALLWC noticed last week the destruction of a valuable

sou, who, it was supposed, had burned the books by way of d;ve:.
slon. It turned out, howeraer, subsequently, that they bad, wits
James Sullivan, another bot, only burned the ccriers, and tlt.t
Sullivan sold the insides, at least the greatest pea of them. to a
Cheesemonger, in Chancery lane. The property was diccovr-.d
in his house, and the cheesernonger and his son, after an examtaa-
Hon at Bow street, were remanded, on the charge of receiving sto-
len goods, until this day.
By Jamaica Papers we. learn, that the Christmas
holydayt —a season which on account of-former recol-
lections is always regarded wish some apprehension—
had passed over without any interruption to tranquillity
on the part of the negroes. Mr. HENRY, the teak:-
Commissioner of Legal Inquiry, was still pursuing his
labours in the bland. The Duke of Ma xcitesrea's
speech on the prorogation of the Legislature is com-
mented on with much acrimony in some of the papers,
hut it appears doubtful whether they represent the sen-
timents of the majority of the planters.
THE SILK TRADE.—Friday a meeting of Inhabit Int
Householders of the parish of St. Matthew, thnal.
green, was held in the Parish Church, pursuant to pub-
lic .advertisement, to consider of the propriety of im•
mediately petitioning both Houses of Parliament against
die repeal of the Silk Pcohibititn Laws. The meeting
was nume ously and respectably attended,. and the
Rev. Mr. MAYNE was callei to the ch sir. After seve-
ral Gentlemen had spoken the question was put and
unanimously carried.
The plan of Ministers for the gradual withdrawment
oar small notes, of the value of one and t polinds,
from circulation, combined with the want of public
confidence, has already begun to operate in Yorks ire,
and the respectable firm of Messrs. RAWSONS and Co.
of Halifax, HaVersfield, and Rnchdale, have an-
nounced their determination to receive and disch ,rge
all their small notes and to supply their place witit
specie. These notes will not be re-issued, and the ne-
cessary consequences will be, that as far as they ate
concerned, Mr. PEEL'S Bill will come into immediate
operation.
