IRELAND.' • We are concerned to find by the Dublin Evening Post, re • rented on Friday morning, that a serious disturbance took place 611 Sunday evening last, in the open ground adjoining Foster Aqueduct, on the Royal Canal, which was .attended with la mentable consequences :—" It appears that on Sunday evening iitunber of persons assembled La: the ground above mentioned, for the purpose of 'wrestling and other exercise, a custom which has been observed there for many years ; and it is said that the perso:is so assembled were ainu ing themselves peaceably, and without evincing any disposition to riot or disorder, when a party of the police rushed in and seized the two wrestlers, and by threats and menaces were endeavouring to disperse the crowd, which it is thought they would have accompl:shed without any serious opposition, had not a second party of the police descend ed rapidly from the rising ground, and unattended by a Magis trate—no notice given—the Riot. Act not read—commenced an 4ttack upon the unarmed and unoffending populace. Some shots were fired, and several persons are said to have been dreadfully l ac erated with sabre wounds. A man walking with his W i f e —*rid child in Upper Dominick-street, is said to have received three dangerous wounds ; he was conveyed to the hospi:al in Brunswick-street; two slugs were extracted from his shoulder; a third that entered his neck could not be extracted, and he is not expected to recover. A young Gentleman, an Attorney, was carried to Jervis-street hospital, in a hopeless state—a sabre is said to have penetrated his skull." Such is the account given of this unpleasant affair in the Dublin Evening Pust. We have only to express our hopes that the disturbance may have been less serious than it is above represented.

THE COVRAGE OF LAWYk:IIS.—The very respect able bickerings between Mr. ALLEY and Mr. STox FS are likely to be F ettled in Westminster-Hall. The bravado about challenges, blood, Scc. between these two very courageons men, puts us in mind of a story that is related of Mr. GAHROW. That Gen tleman, while examining a witness at some Assises, is said to have applied expressions to the person under examination which the latter thought went to wound his honour ! Next morning, at a very early hour, Homespun waited on the legal Chief, armed with a horsewhip, for the purpose of obtaining satis faction. Mr. G. had not risen, but the injured man obtained admittance to his bed-room. After having learned the object of the visit, Mr. G.. talked very big and furious, _ and then coolly remarked to the countryman—" Well, my friend, but you don't re. . quire satisfaction before I get out of bed, do you ?" " Oh no, certainly not !" 64 Well, then," rejoined the wit, 6 6 by Gud I'll lie in bed till doomsday i"
