SUICIDE.  . . A very melancholy ease occurred lately in Dublin. Mr. M.Lean, an eminent Dentist, residing near Rutland-square, placed a young and beautiful danehter at a serninAry in that city, for the corn? pleting her education ; and, on her return to her fond parents, they found grten-eyed melancholy had taken possession of her mind. For some time, it appeared impossible to remove it; at last she began to partake of the amusements natural to her sea and age, and her fond parents looked forward with delight to the restoration of her r.atural cheerfulness But vain were their hopes; on the fatal night the wont to bed in good spit its, accompanied by a female attendant, whose watchfulness being lulled into security, fell asleep, whcis Miss M‘Lean stole out of bed, opened the s trl,, .and t.ff ber fistulae, precipitated herself tiomthetwo.pair of stairs  6. A  c7ilgni;gi;'.leleAred'il;;; transtsed oetUtwb o'clock in the morning, when she was found by jm- !•:, 4n, of the Police, who alarmed the familyshLtj - wan did not permit the body to be removed iv.; the Inquest was held. They brought in their :rdit, fstna,-3r. About a year since, these disconsolate parents lost another beautiful daughter, who went to a ball in full health and spirits, and in going down the dance, burst a blood-vessel, and died on the spot. We should not touch on this melancholy subjeft, did we not observe, in the provincial Papers, au inconed account of this unhappy business. Two clans, or fanions, as they are called, living in the parish et Ballivourney, in the county of Cork, having disagreed upon some sullen or other, determined upon deciding the misunderstanding by a battle, in which each party was to bring whatever strength they could cones into the held. The day of the engagement was appointed to be last Sunday se'onight, and their determination was not a matter of secrecy in the neighbourhood. On that day they met; and in the preparation for anion, several stand of arms were added to pistols, swords, scythes. sticks, Ste. It commenced at break of day, and continued, without the parties closing, until the principal part upon each side were wounded and disabled. Though one party had the superiority in nomber, they were yet greater sufferers than theirs adversaries, for the other, as it is stated to us, procuted as an auxiliary, a soldier, who was a deserter, whose services they purchased for two guineas ; and this man, by Teeing his piece upon a bark, unerringly brought down the man he aimed at, and he was generally pointed out to him, for his strength or resolution. In this brutal conflinr, YO people were wounded; two of whom have been despaired of : the tenacity with which each party maintained their ground, in contempt of destrmlion, was exttaoruhlary. Every friend to peace and good order will lament grin outrageous intranion of the peace and tranquillity of the Country. Our statement is from good authority; and it is not as minute is the recital of this infamous affair, as it has been stated to us. The fairs of the country are becoming places fur the execution of vinchltive resentments, entertained by the lower classes.--(C*4 Mere. Chronicle. J A young man was last week committed to gaols at Bristol, oa a charge of having stolen sortie hoe& from on board one of the vesseis trading from Swansea to Bristol. He hid it seems, purloined several cash notes from the cabin of another trader, then lying in Bristol river, hut the greater part was afterwards recovered. On the robbery being destined, much anxiety prevailed in both vessels to discover the offs der, and the cunning captains 'fluidly went to consult a tennis: wewen for that purpose; nr. being introduced to the S.rcereis, and depositing 6eota.geieee as a fee, she informed them that she could not sheer theta a likeness of the thief till after sun set, upon which they retired ; and , on visiting the antiquated Sybil again in the evening, found her so completely iitostrated by the produce of the moraines adventure, that they spitted her in disgust, heartily repeating their credulity.   st,lov 41k."4! .I%'- • *.''' •• v 1 : . .
