EXTRACT Of A LETTER PROM LONDONDERRY, DATK

DICEMBER 18.

" The transactions of this -lay, being the Annivera
sary of the Shutting of the Gates Crete tew, as it was
evident Colonel PEA asom, the Commander of the
Gartigon, would not permit any di turbance or mid.
night procession. The Yeomanry of this City, being
on permanent duty, could not take any share in the
intended uproar of the day, as Colonel Pearson was
peremptory. Their Ftratic in the morning rather
displayed some party feeling ; however, uron the
judicious remonstrance of some of the Officer, they
took the orange t ibbon front their uniform, with the
exception of duce individuals, and the entire of the
Rifle Corps, who persevered, notwithstanding the 01)4
jections of some of the Office's, in wearing this sym-
bol. Some agitators were resolved to set Colonel
Pearson's commands at defiance, and about four
o'clock in the evening began firing cannon in various
pasts of the town, and exhibited an effigy of Gover-
nor Lundy at Ship Quapgaze. The figure of the Go-
vernor was removed by Colonel Pearson's orders, and
thrown into the River, and the cannon, by the same
authority, taken possession of; but on the application
of Mr. Sheriff Gillespy, they were restored, when they
renewed their noise for three or four hours. However,
the Colonel continued to take proper precautions in
disarming those inconsiderate individuals who were
perambulating the streets with pistols, and effectually
prevented any other riot than what was produced by
those who considered themselves the guardian an•
gels of the city. I ant in:lined to believe Colonel
: Pearson has acted in obedience to the instructions

transmitted him from the Castle of Dublin, and I
hope will produce a salutary effect in repressing, for
the future, any attempts at riot and disturbance in
this City. The anniversary of the shutting of the
gates of Derry may be celebrated without orange
ribbon, or the satellites of office being called forth."

Saturday se'nnight, 'a poor man of the name of
Keating, employed in the distillery of Mr. Jamesons
of Thomas-street, Dublin, came by his death in con:
sequence of his accidentally falling against the wheel
of the steam-engine when at full work, by which the
clothes of the unfortunate man were entangled, and
his limbs were smashed to piece.
Sunday se night, about nine o'clock ir. the evenings
the City Sheriffs, High Con:table, and a patiol of
constables of Watei f,rd, inspected the different pub-
lic-houses in that city, pursuant to a notice issued
by the Magistrates,---On entering the licen ed house
of Philip Baldwin, of 13allybricken, they found therein
a number of persons (about thirty) drinking, and
amongst the number, a very desperate character,
Terence Byrne, for the apprehension of whom the pa•
lice had been long on the h ok cut, but who had hi•
tiler to eluded justice; he was immediately arrested,
but made a sudden dash up a step ladder, and had
nearly succeeded in ft.rcing hi msef through tire thatch
of the roof, when be was seized by the legs, and by
main force drawn in; finding himself disappointed
there, he made an attempt to strike Sheriff Weekess
and instantly sprung past hint towards the stepladders
up which Mr. G. Wright, High Constable, had just
got, being called up by Sheriff Alcock to assist in
securing Byrne; in the rush, Byrne came in contact

glanced from his left jaw into a main artery in the
neck, and caused such an effusion of blood as to pro-
duce death in about half an hour.
It has been ascettained that there were sixty in the
gang cl suruN;lers, who were ck.ncerned iu resisting

third will. A man of the name of Dania Fagg was
supposed to be one of the gang ; he was su.pected
some time since of having committed a robbery; and
when some constables were in pursuit of him on that
charge, he escaved froni them by swimming across a
river at Canterbury. Bond, an active constable be,
longing to the Public Office, Bow-street, undertook
to go in pursuit of him. Yesterday se'nnight, in the
evening, he received private information that Fagg
