Verily Donnybro.ju fair is, to all intent;
and purposes, "dead and gone" ; for the
modem wretched assemblage of hungry
looking cattle, dogs-meat horses, measly
swine, and forlorn-looking human creature,
obliged to content themselves with staring
at the exterior of Ihe Show-booths, for want
of the means to visit the interior, no more
resembles the Donnybrook of the past,
than a troop of the old "hulkios," armed
with their Arcadian crooks, and helmeted
with their old woollen night caps, resem

Ihal Dick should sustain the character of a
girl, and much fun was anticipated from
the punishment that the remainder ol tho
party would intlict upon any prestimptous
individual who should daro to molest tho
modest fair one.
At the end of the double range of tents
called "Dame street," was one called "tho
Larkers ;" and as this was uniformly crowd
ed by citizens of Dublin, it was scarcely
possible lor any one, residing but for a
month in town, not to be recognised by
some present, who immediately passed the
name ol the new-comer round, and be was
surprised (if a raw one) to hear himself ad
dressed by name by persons whom he nev
er saw in bis life before.
It was al the entrance of this tent that a
rnunlrvman stood attired in the usual (r'ae

At tho v,vll known war-ciy of tho lIu-
der.ts, several changed sihs; those who
had ju..t been defending the doctors no'.v
turned upon them, whilst many of their
assailants ranged luomselves oil their
side. The citizens, tiiinkiiiir that the num
ber of students must bo small, rushed to the
spot, to pay 01T sundry old scores; but one
would imagine Ihal Ihe cry of "trimly!
Tiinilyl" which resounded on all sides,
was a sort of spell, or incantation, that rais
ed spirits from the earth, so many voices
responded to the call.
The unfortunate doctor.5!, who had just
expected nothing short of utter annihila
tion, fell their spirits rise at the prospect of
aid and rescue, ami bellowed with might
and main, "Trinity! Trinity!" nnd in a
few minutes they were the nucleus of a
fight in which Iho w hole fair bad joined.
"The poliss! the poliss hero come the

horse police dashed into tho mob with their
cu.tomary ardor, ihtir spurs fastened in

and bile, and kick most furiously, and lay

al every thing and every one w ithin their
reach ; luckily they did not know the

struck wilh the edge, it was only by acci

for lear ofa rescue, by keeping continually

springing off his perch, shouted out, "down

In an instant ihe mob rushed upon them.
Paddy and Eiddy, with an alacrity and
agility truly astonishing, sprang from the
lofty vehicle, plunged into the crowd
(where there were plenty of willing hands
to free theui from tho hand cuff) and es
caped. Nor were tho worthy doctors slow
in following their example, the only pris
oner that remained being the bewildered
Englishman who sullered "only" a threo
month's incarceration in his majesty' jail
of Newgate for going to ee Donnybrook,
and Ihe fun at it, his sentence having been
mercilully mitigated, in consideration of
its being his first offence !

with his head bandaged up, a shade over

persuaded by you to go to Donnybrook

have made at the police office this morn

made our escape ?
"I have been thinking," said (or rather
groaned) Dr. M , "who that scoundrelly
country lellow could be. I never fell into
a bog in my life (hat was all a lie ; and
still the blackguard's face was lamiliar lo

"I think he was very like that scape
