Riots at Liverpoal.—During a portion of Thurs
day ad Friday the 30th and 31st of May, this town
has b n the scendof serious riots be the ship
i
wrtgh and the Irish Catholics. The former hav
ing obtained permission of the- Medlar to celebrate
.• Ltrikkapple Day," by walking in procession, a large
party t 1 the st»pwrights of the Ulf4e, with other
clubs nd aocieties, music, tie zts li, paraded the
stieeta during the greater par 14 day: It had
been previously reported that the prdicession would
dimplairupon their banners the 4 tranga colour, which
of couse would at once be the signal tbr an attack by
the Catholics. During - the progress lof the proces
sion tiere were several akirmishes,lbut not any- -
~ i
things,serious : thetown , however, wai twill in a state
of alarm during Thursday by detaChed bodies of
shipwiights meeting Catholics. Whether the men
had net expended the funds provided on-their jollifi

of Frilay they assembled in variouS puke-houses,

the shbuis and cheers of the revellers,' showed what
wasong on within. In the afternoon they sallied
'forth gb knd paraded various streets in;ears with col.
ours flyitg and on foul; and particularly in the
ileighbourhood of Park-lane, Crosby street, and Blun
dell-street where great .numbers of Irish reside.
Here 'they used the most provoking; and insulting
exproasioriii, and their object evidently was to pro
yoke an attack on the tart of the Iriih, in revenge,
we sqppose for the falsely reported intention of the

The horses that started for this race were—Mr.
`Thomas Spanner's, the Treasurer; Mr. Thomas B.
pincer's, Sir Stiff (by Starch ;) Mr. Drought's Lady
Jane;. Mr. Drought's mare, (by Economist;) and
Mr. Lawlor's Mad cap.
All went off at a slapping pace ; but early in the
race Lady Jane fell, and went away without her h
i der. The next was a high wall, which all succeed
ed in clearing without a mistake, except Mr. Law
let's horse, who fell and killed his rider. After that
came the ox fence, which the Treasurer and Sir
Stiff took in beautiful . style; but the Economist
horse could not be prevailed upon even to attempt
it. At this period of the race all competitors for the
Op were disposed of,' with fife exception of the
Treasurer and Sir Sufi, who went on taking every
thing in fine style till the last leap, which Sir Stiff
fell at, and gave his rider so bad a fall that be was not
able to remount,—and Mr. Spanner's horse won
easily, not having made a ruts fr beginning to
end.
The next was for 59 soy reigns, and a mile and
a half heats, which was wo by Mr. Denis's . Black
man, beating 5 others.
One of the arches of the new Thomond bridge,
now being erected, gave way, and came down with

were at dinner at the time. or there is little doubt
but that lives would have been lost.
SCOTLAND.
A certain gentleman in this county had a servant
of a jocular turn, which his master liked sometimes
to encourage. One day when they were conversing
together, the gentleman happened to mention more
than once, a certatii parish that lay in his extensive
property, when the servant said in his homely way
Bout, Sir, ye're ay deicing un cracking about
that parish, an' arter a' its no worth noe body's pains
to be cracking about ; for there a no linen sark in a'
the parish bit only twa, an' when there's ony play
ainang them, sick like as a christening, bridal, or bu
rial, they send to the parish box, whar thee twa sarks
are in keepin', an' %lan its over, they gang again
them to the box, an' pays them fur the lea' o'
them." His master, it appeared, put some faith in
the story; for it happened that a farmer from that
very parish, shortly afterwards, came to transact
some business, and the laird noticing twat lie had on
him a clean linen shirt, made a kind of apology to
this effect—that he was sorry the farmer should put
himself to su much pains as to go and burrow a shirt
for the occasion. •• What shift, Sir," replied the
farmer ; I never needed to borrow a shirt, all my
life—l have many ones beside.. " Wh. reupon the
laird repeated to the farmer what Ilia ler, ant had
said concerning the people of the parish ; and the
latter being called in and asked if he did not say so,
acknowledjed the fact, but added—•• Your lordship
disna ken hu' the times changes: for when I tell'd
you that tale, I had but ac suck myself, an' now I
have half a dozen. "—Perthshire Courier.

genius—vigor, discretion, and knowledge. The
itiree things that improve genius—proper exertion,
frequent exertion, and sucessful exertion. The
three things that support genius—prosperity, arlcial

"Sir,—ln the last Cambrian them aPpeared a letter

who fur his alacrty in bringing e disgraceful
proceedings which took place, coati led with the

deserves the warm thanks of every person who has
the interests of Welsh Literature at heart. But
"Gwirionedd" in a letter replete with solecisms and
obsolete

arguments, commenced an outrageods tirade by de
nominating "Cyfiawnder" "an ignorant person, who

from ignorance or ill will, had the boldness to ru
mor that some of the prizes were unfair ly awarded
at the said anniversary." From this we must,julitge
that "Gwirionedd" is entirely without knowledge of
the peculiar merits ofthe cause which he has espous
ed, or, perhaps, what is more likely, that he is con
nected with the worthy tribe who have so deserved
ly been expoftel. If he is disinterested and uncon
fleeted . with the foul conspiracy, ( which I hope will
he fully brought to light by the able writer who has
first broached the subject) it is quite plain he never
took the least trouble to examine the intrieacies of
the transactions he so warmly defends. He cannot
have attempted any research, butt suppose fur the
purpose of displaying his epistolry elegance, he look
the bud case .n hand and endeavored to vindicate
that which every honest man must condemn; but to
follow this "man of truth" through his abusive Phil
lappie, we will refer to some other part of his letter,
which plainly demonstrates that "Gwirionedd" had
a snare in the abominable artifices practised by the
deceitful hypocrites, to whom "Dyfiswnder" has al
luded ; he states to the effect that the writer "alluded
to a' Member of the Society, who obtained- a Ariz.
for • work of 6ctioe al the Easteddfod." Upon i •
ference los the letter in the Cambrian, April 6t1.,
which called forth this volley of billingsgate, from
this learned slid erudite setae, you waist once see
that he has not made the most distant tnsinnatiun
with regard to this personage, although facts which
have since transpired have proved that he is tar
from immaculate, so that " Gwirionedd " must have
known more than he choose to admit, and fabricated
statements which conduces to'commit himself. I
believe I have already exhibited, the stultiloquence of
our opponent in its tree milers. I will now proceed
to investigate those interesting subjects ut mimed
version. The following exquisite piece of "poetry,"
will fully show that Cawrdat's judgement and the
ex-secretary's honesty are not entirely unimpeacha
ble.

The following vi inswers are said to hare
been returned to a set of queries recently issued uu
der a commission of inqury in Ireland :
How many labourers are there in your parish;
how many in constant, how many in occasional em
ployment ; how are they maintained when . out of
employ nent (
Those who can work will work if they can,
Those who cant, beg or steal—that, sir, is the
plan.
What is the ordinary diet, and condition, with re
spect to clothing, of the labouring daises
The general diet is potatoes and point,
For seldom, it ever, they see any joint.
Their clothing , is various, as every fool knows;
Some docent, some ragged, without any hose.
At what periods of the year are they least employ
ed!
What tiresome questions ! if ever I knew
Such a big set of asses! Why when they have
nothing to do.
Whet, on the wholt j an average laborer,
obtaining an average amount of employment, earn
in the year I
Do you think with such questions my mind
perplex,
Or tiouble my bead, or my intellect vex.
For an average man—was there elder such stuff !
An average nothing, would be full' enough.
What would be the 3 early. expense of food for an
able-boded laborer in full work !
And now for this question! to answer it right. -
I will send you a man with a fair appetite:
You can feed him a quarter, and judge pretty near
Whit would be a just average during they year.
Of what class of persons, generally, are the land
lords of cotta:.es or cabins !
S,ime taller, some shorter, some black, brown or
fair ;
Cziwoo
Some squint-eyed, some e‘rook'd nose, and some
very quare.
What is the usual rent of cabins, with or without
land !
From one to two pounds they will promise to pay.
But the landlord IS glad, alter two years, to .ay,
i• I'll forgive you the riot if you'll give up the
hay."
Ile then gets another: who acts the same way.
ft . n.;hat description of buildings are those cabins,
and how furnished! arc they supplied with bedsteads
and comfortable bedding 1
A cabin consists of the walls, roof, and floor,
With sometimes a window, and mostly a door.,
Thcii beds are of straw, and instead of a rug
•• A slip of a pig " just keeps their feet snug.
Upon what terms are herds usually hired in your
parish 1
No flocks in the field, and no herd in the stall;
For herdsmen there surely can be little call.
