abundance of Ford (ports. Several races of ponies,
and half-bred horfes, were run : and alto a match
between two hotfes belonging to Officers of the Ger-
man Legion, which was aarply contetted. But the
crack diverfion of the day was the race by Ilasetfrirt
Belied: (with the tips of their horns gilt), in which
three Ratted to run heats round the two-mile courfe:
the Sri mile they trotted nimbly, and the lift gal-
loped dexteroufly, to the allonilliment of the (pate-

Stand, neck, and neck, the leading bullock bolted
through the rope, and the fecund following him
down into a madly bottom of the coarfe, they both
'acted up, and difmoonted their refpeetive riiers, to
the high diverfion of the whole ground ; and, in
confequence. the third bullock, that was nearly dif-
tanced, won the heat. On Ratting again, the fupe-
rierity of Mr. Ross's celebrated racing or, which
won lan year, was (hewn by dillancing his competi-

On Tuefday !aft, while a great concourfe of people
had proceeded to the funeral of a Mrs. Vaughan,
in the county of Clare, Ireland, a young fellow,
named Scanlan, ail tied by four or five others,
rufhed into the houfe of Mr. Hogan, of Belkedy,
(no perf .n being at home but Mrs. Hogan and
Mils Vaughan, the niece of the deceafed)—they
feized the young lady, and in fpite of her cries, and
the efforts of Mrs. Hogan, carried her off, forced
her into a boat, and conveyed her to an old cattle
which hands in the river Shannon, accelLble only
by a boar, and is only to be entered by means of
a ladder, there being from fix to ten feet water dole
to the vi alls, and the door being ten feet above the
water. They were purfued by thole who had at-
tended
the funeral, but without effeft—they were
deaf to the entreaties of the friends without and the
cries of the lady within—to the expollulations and
commands of the M.igifirates they were equally in-
exorable—and it was therefore determined to block-
ade them. All the boats in the neighbourhood were

Captain Brady had prevailed upon Scanlan, and his
followers to releafe the lady, who was banded out
on the ladder to her friends. The party, however,
remained in the cattle clofely watched until five in
the evening, whin, herders of efcapc, and dcflitute
