There was as pretty a fight there on last evening as need
be, between a Brayoman and a blallingarian, aadsall about
Kitty Cullen And why not? Was sot there a war at
Troy fur ten years about one Helen, who, if we are to be.
lieve H goer, (though he to he sere was but a poet,) was
not a bit better than she ought to be. nor may be /ray' as
good, or quarter as beautiful as Kitty Cullen.
The age of chivalry is not gone, fur most elegant was the
porgi4iek-stick tournament between the aforesaid Brayo-
ntaa, who was backed by a Itathdeuelemer ; and the Mullin-
garian, who was seconded by a Fingallian. The cause of
the quarrel was something, that was said to the disparage-
ment of Kitty Cullen by the Mullinzatian, on which the
deavonian, Oast foster brother was own cousin to Kitty's
step-sister, gave him a dowse in the ear, just to tura him
better. They fought on the plains of Donnybrook for
about twenty minutes, when the Jlullingarian. finding that
M was likely to come off second best, declared his willing.
maim os apologise to Kitty for the unintentional affront.
This peace offering was accepted, and the parties, as is
usual in those eases, adjourned to a Mend's tent to regale,
and their first toast was " Kitty's beautiful health."
Yesterday was the Fair day. and a fair day it was ; the
descendents of the subjects of Brian the VictoriOus,assentl-
bled in thousands on die philter)! Donnybrook. where they
were as happy as the sons Of Irish Kings. la the evening
the fair was illuminated With splendour. The va-
rious Amphitheatres were pecutraeraity brilliant, and all the
places of amusement inclading the tents; ward crowdtd
to 'keen.

For the greater part of the day, thefoad and open spice
between the tents and the Amphitheatres were literally
blocked op with Issronebes, carriages, deonets, tilburys,
jaunting cars, &c. filled with ladies, who set enjoying the
festive scene.

• Between teb and eleven o'clock hat night, several rockets
were let off from a platform in froot of one of the Amphi-
theatres, which had a grand effect, as they whirred in splen-
dour and velocity to an immeautreable height Over the
tents, the roofs of some of which were crowded with spec,
taunt.
About half-past eleven o'clock the fair was thinned consi-
derably of its numbers • the night was bright moon-light,
and along the line of road frem Donnybrook to the t;Anal
Bridge was one continued, though varied scene of pleasure.
The fair promises to go on well for the remainder of the
week. We noderstand that the Tents will not be struck
until otter Sunday.

CONSECRATION OF THR JEWS' SYNAGOOCE.

Yesterday a very interesting scene, as affecting the He.
brew nation, took place at the Great Synagogue, in Jews
place, It will be recollected that some time since, it was
by aeciient discovered, that the dry rot bad found its way
into the rafters and supporters of the roof of the Jewish
Synagogue. The repairs were of eo extensive a nature,
that many months have been occupied, and nearly 3,0001.
expended in performing them. The inside of the Syna-
gogue has been fitted up and beautified in such-a style, that
it may in point of splendour vie with any place of worship
in the metropolis, and yesterday was the day appointed for
performing the solemn ceremony of its consecration. All the
avenues round the Synagogue were crowded with the
lower order of the Jew people, whilst the interior of the
building contained all the wealthy and powerful members
of that persuasion. The galleries were crowded with fe-
males many of whom were very beautiful, and all attired in
that fashionable splendour which forms a principal cba
racterisdc of the nation. Soon after four o'clock, the hour
appointed for the performance of the ceremony, the Chief
Rabbi, attended by the Wardens; Elders, and other
officers of the Synagogue, bearing the rolls of the Laws,
appeared at the doors of the Synagogue; the Chief Rabbi
was in his fall costume under a canopy of state, supported
by six persons ; the Wardens and Officers were in their
robes and scarfs. The Chief Rabbi then exclaimed," open
unto us the gates of righteousness ; we will enter theist and
praise the Lotto ;" they then all entered in procession pre-
ceded by six little boys tastefully attired, each carrying a
large silver basket ills& svith different dowers, which they
strewed along the, path ever which the procession passed.—
In thii manner they circurnambalated the Synagogue seven
,times, during which time even appropriate Psalms were
•chisateckby the Acad.( and Choir, the music of ellich was
exceedingly grand. Upon the procession approaching the
ark for the seventh time, the rolls of laws, which were
,all secured in.pecallar cases, most splendidly ornamented,
were severally placed the. ark, The Chief Rabbi,
then delivered a orayeron behalf of the whole congregation
in which he particularly noticed the providential discovery
Odle state of the building. Three of the rolls were then
taken from the ark enitconreYed in procession to an ele-
vated 'pot in dor centre of.the Synagogue, when the Reader,
surrounded_ by all the officers., delivered in a very solemn
' manner; in t& Hebrew language, a prayer for the King
and the Roper fluidly.
The tolls oflaws being rep!aced in the ark, and some
other 'peculiar forms of service having been gone through,
I 4 inbeerltition was opened towards defraying the expenses
of the building, and to a very short time p:ar janow. wio
