GAINIIOLS.—On Christmas morning
a ludicrous circumstance occurred in Union-court,
Holborn. As two Irish women, residing hi George-
alley, were tarrying the dishes to the oven to be baked.
they were run vilest by two drunken labourers, and
'the dishes, which contained. the one a piece of beef, gad
the other a loin of mutton, each with a hatter-paddin,
were thrown out of their hands, and scattered about the
pavement. Here the fun began. The women. on lind-
en that their Christmas diuuer was spoiled, got se en-
raged that they took the unfortunate fellows by the
' hair sad belaboured them with the beef sad mattog
shoat the shoulders until they were covered over with
grease, milk, sod doer, to the easement of upwards of!
ego lingdred person% who assembled on the 'cession.
Pence was at length restored by the interference of the
friends of both parties. and they adjourned to a neigh-
bouring public-lioase. where they drowned their &mime-
sities with libations of rum, glu, and beer.
Cortnaumao Stratilo,l.—Yeaterdav the Chapel in
=,:sict mast numerally attended, to hear a Bet-
h" the Rev. ilr..futtow to the three en-
fortunate malefactors, whe are to suffer, the one on Wed-
nesday, and the other two on Fridsy next. After the
sermon they received the sent, suit upon bring
conveyed from the chapel to their fells they all de-
clared their resignation to the just amulet' the law.
hICIANCIIULT CIRCI.3IIITANCS.—We relate with crest
concern, that a letter has bee. received from Dublin.
stating that the second daughter (unmarried) of the late
William Johnson Harm. Esq. of Coolies, a blooming
girl, was so dreadfully born% by her clothes taking fire,
M the house of her mother, that she immediately ex-
pited.—(Kerry Eeraiwg Pew.)
Ussrecurs wren S:tfrOOLERS.—On Thurs-
day evening, aeon after six o'clock, as Mr. Itilward Blake
sad Mr. Thomas Dray, two riding officers in his liajee-
ty's Customs, stationed at Lid.', in the distrirt of Dover.
were pc/seceding on duty, they discovered at sea, is the
Midriffs, between Dover and itomnev, a large quantity
of tea, spirits, and tuharro, which they seised together
with a large galley, called Le Marcheron, of 'Boulogne,
being in the act of illegal importation. Haring sue-
seeded in getting the boat and cargo on shore, they
i were attacked by a numerous gang of upwards of fifty
smugglers, armed with pistols, bludgeons. and other of-
fensive weapons, one of whom struck Mr. Blake a violent
blow on the head, which brought Lim to the ground,
where he remained a considerable time insensible, and
great fears are entertained for his life. Mr. Dray was
j also dreadfully ill-treated. They, however, succeeded
is fit ing an alarm. Assistance came, and these deeps,-
' rinses simile off without carrying into effect their Woo-
-1 lions of resesiug the contraband property, which was
safely lodged in the Clis!osits' stores at Dover. A re-
j ward is offered for the tnlfian that attempted the life of
Mr. Blake, his person bciug known.
Os the night of the !id instant, a boat belogging to
the Helmer, lying at Plya.....ih, booed to Madras, in
going off to that ship. from some unknown cause (it is
I believed the men were intosicated), upset, when the
Chief Mate of the Balmer, a gentleman (passenger), who
was going out to take the command of a coinitry-ship.
and four men (all that were iu the boat), were unfortu-
nately drowsed.
