tions at both places have been marked
with more than usual spirit and activity.
Hardly day passes withouta skirmlsh,

having sent 1860 Of his troops to assist ~
the reduction Of Khuraira, has had the
modification to witness not only their de-
{ lection from the cause which he had es-
poused, but even their actual junction
with the enemy. Corrupted by the mo

the camp of the besiegers to the lines OF
the besieged, they allreached their new
destination in safety, except about SO,
who were seized in their progress to the
fort. and were Immediately dismantled
of their noses and ears. The Ra]ah
himself Justly incensed at their conduct,
has very uniustly wreaked his vengeance
upon their innocent and defencless fami-
lies plundering and destroying them with
remorseless violence.

Dreadful Riot at BallincolHg, (frelena.)
We Tamentin having to state, very
alarming riot which took place on Christ
mas night. at Ballincollig, a repetition OF
which we sincerely trust We shall never
have occasion to record. Major Evely.
Commanding Officer at Pallineollig, is as

were permitted to bring some liquor INTO
tie barracks; rather than they should
drink in thepublic houses without. Alta

officer warned the sunners and drivers TO

depot was ordered out, but on their APP
pearance, they were issaiied IN so furl-

to their comrades, and the drunken dri-
yers. to assist their brother drivers, when,
by the vigorous exertions of Major Evely
and the officers, the riot was appeased.
Three drivers were found dead, and Is
cunners and drivers wounded.

which was felt here on Friday the 10th
instant, and of which we gave some ac-
count in our last, appears to have been
much more severe and destructive IN its
consequences, in almost every other part
of the kindgom. Hardly town round
the Irish coast but has experienced Ga
mage of some sort. Houses were un-
rooted, and chimnies blown down, and
many lives were lost by the failing OF
houses. The most melancholy accounts
are almost daily heard of the loss OF ship
ping. The Eliza, of this port, captain
O'scully, who sailed on the day preced-

Choir at Troon, and twelve passengers
and one seaman persisted; the remainder
of the passengers aud crew escaped WIN
