THE MEAGHER AND McMAsTERs ArrRAv 1u NEW YoRK.-Mr. Meagher is one of the ed;. tors of Mitchell's Citizen: McMasters is the sole editor of the Freeman's Journal. The C;t;zan attacked the Irish presse in his country eu aanss and denounced 1t as beinge ntagonistical to the interest of Irishmen in America. The .Jonr. nal very sharply and personally retorted, be-
 ns particularly pointed in it's allusion to Mr. Meagher, whom it accused of writing the obnox- ious articles That gentleman calls, with a friend, at the Journal office, and asks for Mr. McMasters, who sends word he is busy. Mea- gher meets him later in the day in the street. and lntilcts personal chastisement upon him. MT. McMasters draws revolver and fires at the assailant, but without effect. MT. Meacher wrests the pistol from his opponent and throws him down. The police interfere and take both before the sitting magistrate. McM declines entering any complaint. The justice, on the police officers complaint, binds the two com. batants over to keep the peace, bonds $500 each, at the same time reprimanding them 90. verely for their conduct. They obtain the re. quired bail and leave the presence. The on;. nion of the New York press seems to be that MT. McMasters will challenge MT. Meaoher: but as the Freeman's Journal is relisions newspaper, we hardly imagine that this will be the case.

Church Fights.

At Utica, Now York, on Sunday last, in the
German Catholic church, . difficulty occurred
during service. growing out Of q misunder-
standing between the priest and tho St. Jo-
seph Society. concerning q banner, and wi h
regard to which legal measures had resulted
IN favor of tho society. The priest had stated
that there were thieves and liars present in
the congregation, and he could not therefore
proceed with the services. The priest then
Withdrew, when a fight ensued among the
congregation, resulting in the interference Of
an officer and tho arrest Of four persons

On Sunday morning last, after the close of
preaching, the president of tho board of trus-
toes stepped ont in front of the altar for the
purpose of making known tho action of the
board of trustees, at tho same time holding in
his hand two papers, containing q report of
their proceedings. No sooner, however had
he expressed his intention, than two female
members of the church, Elizabeth Bindey and
Mary Sarouse, ran forward and attempted to
strike the paper from his hand, after which a
general row ensued, which resulted in divers
assaults and batteries. These women vere
subsequently fined IS each and costs. Henry
