the Ardmore Relief Committee, was forced back by the
mob, who had collected at an early hour. The military
and constables were ordered. The bread shops were again
attacked, and several of them rifled, and the military had
to remain under arms the whole day. Towards evening,
the greater part of the people again returned home. it is
stated that the Roman Catholic zlergy again strenuously
a-sisted the executive. A meeting of the authorities and
others was held in the evening, and steps taken to afford
extensive employment to some hundreds of the poor. ,On
Wednesday, some hundreds of men, who had entered the
town .with spades and shovels, were met by numbers,of
the relief committee, who suceeeded in setting them to
work in cutting down a hill on the road to Fermoy.
Others were employed on bye-roads. Another larg,
party of men were dissuaded from violence, by a promise
of extensive and continued employment, and setting some
of them to work. Up to half-past three the town re-
maioe,i, quiet. The merchants were in a state of appre-
hension. No corn was allowtd to come into the town.

One merchant had a notice posted that the corn on his
store was for home consumption. The trade was in a
great measure suspended. On Thursday, a mob of thou-
sands marched down to Mr.. Fisher's mill at Pilltown,
just opposite Youghal, on the county of Waterford
side, vowing vengeance if Indian meal was not sold
for Is. per stone from the mill, and corn ground
for Id. per stone ; they then proceeded, armed with sticks,
spades, hammers, (such as are used in repairing
roads) and other weapons, to the Ferrypoint just
opposite the centre of the town, and considerable appre,
hension was excited, that they meant to attack it. The
Magistrates had the military in readiness immediately to
repel them, but they contented themselves with threats of
vengeance against the ferrymen and boatmen should they
carry corn or provisions over to the Youghal merchants.
A farmer's house of the name of Wynne, was plundered,
several other farmers were sworn not to take their corn
over to Youghal, and again they marched clown to the
;Ferry Point to show themselves. The military were,
however, soon in readiness, and if the people attempt
to pillage the town or seize any of the Goverment
stores, the magistrates have fully made up their minds
to repel them by tome. In the town itself all are greatly
excited, the shops all dosed, the bank doors closed, and
the porters stationed at the doors, as a report was abroad
that th.ey were to be attacked. On Friday, a requisition
came us from Killeagh for the military, as it is feared the
mill wid he attacked again, and two stacks of corn were
burnt belonging to a farmer named Gotsel ; a requisition
came from Dungarvan, but a-man cannot be spared. The
merchants held a meeting on Friday, at which a strong
memorial was adopted to the Government, calling on them
I o send in food and make the town a Commissariat Depot,

I ; a resolution was come

to immediately to bring into the town some thousands of
barrels of Indian corn. A deputation left for the pur-
pose of purchasing it, and a subscription list of between
Iwo and three thozaand pounds was signed to gua-
rantee any loss arising from a fall in the markets. In
the affray at Clashmore, Thomas Joaeah Fitzgerald, Esq.,
J.P. of Ballinasparka, a Roman Catholic gentleman of
considerable property and influence, had a narrow escape
for his life, and but for the timely protection of James
Power, Esq., of Clashmore, would, no doubt, have been
severely injured. He was in favour of Lord Stuart's pro-
position, and against advancing the rate of wages. On
Friday afternoon the military were still under arms, but
no violence has taken place.

UNSOPHISTICATED LOYALTY.—During Prince Albert's
stay at Kynance Cove, several little children, belonging to
a poor woman residing in a hut near, picked up a few of
the choicest pebbles of the beach, and with infantine sim-
plicity presented them to his royal highness. They were
received in the kindest manner, and every pebble enriched
its giver with a sovereign, a return of which they knew not
the value.
