On Vireapeaday last we were witness to the setts

(the affray at the e ,mmencement of the emit went
still to be kept in mind). The Canadians accepted she
challenge, and procured persons to enter the ring;
but individual combat was :Man entirely relinquished,

fence of their friends, and Aatiothil hopo.• : the fight.
ing was iodise:imitate ; but here, the Irish Fortier:
conquered, being more numerous, and combating wig;
clubs : they followed the Canadians towards the town,
where in some instances, they attacked inoffensive
men. At the lower corner of M‘Gill•strset, the rout
for a time subsided—thus far we were informed by
others. About four o'clock we saw collected at the
above-mentioned point, about two hundretiCanadians;
for some time we did nut perceive any I lislimen ; but
at about half-past four, the whole body of Canadians
made an attack on (we should suppose) eight or ten
Irishmen ; anti so eager were they to revenge their de-
feated countrymen, that they behaved in a most brutal
manner; in one particular instance, we perceived an
old man attacked by five or six Canadians, who having
thrown bins stunned upon the ground, bestowed kicks
and blows upon him in a perfectly lifeless condition:
a great crowd of spectators were collected from all
parts of the town, and the expressions of disgust at
this shameful sight, were general ; the. ardor with
which thissontest was prosecuted, with unequal nntn-
bers, is a proof of how easily men lose all sense of de-
cency or justice, when inflamed to outrage.—Such a
' scene, we hope we may never witness again in this
city.—(Montreal Paper.)

A steam vessel will very soon ply on Lough Neagh.
The vessel has already been built on the Lough, and
the engine, boiler, &c. have been forwarded in a
'lighter by the Lagan navigation. The engine is of
30 horse power.—(lriali p per.)
CORONILR'S INQUESTS.—Yesterday morning an In.
quisition was taken in the Board-room of the workhouse
of the Liberty of the Rolls, in Bream's-buildings,
Chancery-lane, before T. Stirling, Esq. Coroner, on
the body of %Vip. Clifton, ayoung man, between 18 end
19.-1 t appeared, that on Monday last the deceased at.
tended the funeral of a person who committed suicide
in Clare-street, Clare-market. lie afterwards went
amongst his acquaintances, and, shaking Lands
with theni,took his leave, saying, that he had done
something, that when they were told they would be
surprieed at, and they would see him no more. lie
then went home to his mother, who lives in Swann-
yard, White's-alley, Chancery-lane, where lie was
seized with violent pains and vomiting : he laid biro.
self on the bed, and calling his mother, told
her, that on his way house) from the funeral he had
purchased a pennyworth of arsenic at a cliyiniat'ssbop,
which he had eat out of the paper as he walketla\oug.
The deceased assigned no cause for the rash act, Nat
the circumstance of having attended the funeral above
related, together with the observations of the persons
assembled to witness the interment, which had worked
on his brain in a manner he could not account for.—
Mr. Owen, a medical gentleman, in Chancery-lane, at.
tended, and administered a strong emetic, which, al-
though it operated very powerfully, had no effect, the
deceased expired in great agony about an hour after-
wards. The Jury retained a verdict—That the de-
ceased poisoned himself in a fit of derangement.
An inquisition was held at the Coach and Horses,
Isleworth, before Thomas Stirling, Esq. on the body
of Mrs. M. Hopkins, of Isleworth, a widow lady, who
was killed by the upietting of the Isleworth stage on
Thursday morning last. The first witness examined
was the coachman who drove the coach from London
to Isleworth on the morning the accident happened.
lie stated that he took up the deceased in London be-
tween seven and eight o'clock on Thursday morning.
About nine the coach was stopped by him opposite
the Catholic chapel, Isleworth, for the purpose of
letting a female out of the coach. De opened the
door, and at that instant the horses set off. The lady
drew back into the coach again, and he ran as fast be
could to endeavour to stop the horses, but he could
not overtake them. The horses gallopped near to the
side of the road, and the coach came in c.mtact with
a post. The shock was so great that the roach was
overturned in an instant, and the deceased fell epos
her head at some distance from the coach. filer head
was much injured. In cross-examination the witness
' admitted that there was no person at the horses' beads
at the time he opened the coach door to let the lady
out. There was also another female besides the de-
ceased injured by the accident. She kept her bed oa
the day the accident occurred; but is likely to do
well. Her illness was produced more by fright than
any thing else. The evidence was corroborated by
several other witnesses, and the Jury returned a verdict
—" Accidentally killed by the overturning of a stage
coach."
