THR NATIONAL REGISTER  IRELAND, DESPERATE AND FATAL RIOT. Itareatete, Sept. ',17--A most lawless and sanguinary riot took place at the fair of Ently, on Friday last (the 29d till.) which not only prevented the transaction of business, but melancholy to relate, terminated with the effusion of blood. It appears that there has been a feud existing between the families (or rather factions of Hogan and Fitzgerald Isor time immemorial, but kept from canting to an open conflict by the activity of the vet), effective Police 01 Tipperary, till this occasion, whet, these unfortutwe people, to the moldier of several thooNands, commenced their bloody proceedings before strati o'clock in the looming, armed with scythes, sticks, swords, and lire arms. The fought with desperate fury until the coming up of the Police, which put an end to it. One man, of the name of Donovan, was killed, and five supposed mortally, and several slightly wounded. There were 33 prisoners lodged in Tipperary Gaol by the Police—one of the leaders, an elderly man, of the Fitzgerald's party, is not expected to recover.— The Magistrates of the neighbourhood have memoralized Government for an increase to the small garrison of Tipperary. CtowmeLL, Sept. 27.—Twenty men were committed to our gaol by the Rev. NVilliam Massey, James Scully, and Richard Sadleir, Esqrs. for assembling, with a vast number of others, riotously in arms at the fair of Etnly, and being concerned in the murder of Mallachy Donovan. We regret extremely this official notice of one of these furious outrages connected with that spirit of faction, which we hoped was subsiding in this country.— The multitude assembled on both sides of two contending parties at the fair of Emily, to determine their hostility by arms was incredible. We have not heard that more than one life was lost; but sorely one life, or shedding one drop of human blood in such a species of conflict, is too much ; and we earnestly trust, that the respectable magistrates who have so quickly taken up the business, will not lose sight of it until they make exataq.les of the ringleaders; and the time for doing so approaches rapidly. These fellows were apprehended by Captain %Vilcocks's Police, and escorted by them to gaol here.  Same persons who were prosecuted for having exposed to sale knuff-boxes, ornamented with the portrait of Bonaparte, have been tried and acquitted by the Assize Court at Lyons. Wednesday morning, as the Earl of Balcarras was driving his gig to the House of Lords, he was thrown from it on the pavement. The carriage was broken, and his Lordship was considerably hurt. An extraordinary act of suicide was committed on Thursday morning, at the house of Mr. White, chemist and druggist, in Red Lion-street, Holborn, by a youth of the name of James Whittle, only 14 years of age, who lived there as errand-boy. About eight o'clock in the morning Mr. White rang the deceased's bell, in order to send him out with the morning medicine to his patients, but receiving no answer, Mr. White went down stairs, when he found the deceased suspended by a butcher's hook (used for the purpose of hanging up meat), and quite dead and cold. He cut him down, but too late to try any means to restore animation. The parents of the deceased reside in the same street, and are very respectable. No muse can be assigned for She rash act, as the deceased wanted for nothing, and had a comfortable situation.  - On Friday last Scarlet Everard, Esq. was sworn into office as Mayor of Lynn, and gave an elegant dinner at the Guildhall to the corporation, the Earl of Orford, High Steward; Sir M. B. Folkes, bart. Sir Jacob Astley, hart. I'. W. Coke, Esq. and 200 gentlemen of the neighbourhood and town. The correspondence between his Majesty's Government and her Majesty's Counsel and Agents, on the subject of pecuniary supplies to her Majesty, since her Majesty's arrival in England in June last, and also an account of all sums of money paid to her Majesty since her arrival in England, has been printed by order of the House of Lords. It commences with a letter from Mr. Vizard, her Majesty's Solicitor to the Earl of Liverpool, dated Lincoln's. inn-fields, July 1, 1820, enclosing a letter from her (Majesty to his Lordship, applying for an advance of money, to defray the necessary legal expences of her Majesty's defence, including those of bringing over her Majesty's witnesses. The sum required was 2,5001. to cover charges from the death of his late late Majesty, 2,5001. for future current expences here, and .5,0001. towards the expense of the mission to Italy to collect witnesses, Mr. Maule the Solicitor of the Treasury, on the 10th of July advised that the particulars of all sums of money paid to or on account of the charges and expenses of the agent to be sent to Italy, including his loss of time and trouble, should be furnished by Mr. Vizard. Mr. Vizard answered, that the detail required could not be granted, without injury to her Majesty's cause, until after the termination of the present proceedings. After some further correspondence, a Treasury order for the 10,0001. was issued on the 18th July, payable to Mr. Vizard, and received by him, of which 4,200 was paid to Mr. Henry, her Majesty's agent in Italy.
