and the individual who did so was instantly knocked down by
one of the Orange rioters. . This was the signal fora general
“ set-to.” and a very fierce conflict ensued, which ended in the
flight of the “ vagabonds,” who rap along Sackville-street, and
turned the corner of Abbey-street, where they agaia rallied their
forces, and again attacked the crowd with their daggers and
sticks, using at the same time the most violent threats and exe-
erations. The populace were the victors again, and aftera rally
and hard fight they drove their opponents before them in all
directions, many of the fugitives taking refuge in Abbey-street
Theatre. . .
Mr. Dundon, one of the police inspectors on duty in Sack-
ville-place, with a body of men under his command, proceeded
to Abbey-street, and succeeded in dispersing tbe rioters, and all
was quiet for a short time; but this calm was only thé foreruo-
ner of another storm. range lads once more rallied, and
being reinforced both by “men and arms” from ihe College,
they collected at Law’s corner, in’ Sackville-street, and com-
menced assaulting indiscriminately all persons whom they met,
male and female. The police interfered, a strong body of them
having been ordered out; but they were unable to quell the dis-
turbance... They, however, succeeded in arresting one of the
principal leaders of the party, named Smyth, and after a great
eal of exertion they lodged him safely in Sackville-place sta-
tion-house. " By this time several thousacd persons had assem-
bled in Sackville-street, and it was quite apparent at this mo-
ment that the riot was assuming a very serious appearance,
when fortunately a very large body of mounted police, under the
command of Acting-Inspector Stokes, of the A division, and also
some hundreds or more of the foot, collected from the different
stations, made their appearance.
Perhaps there is no instaace on record of such forbearance ex-
hibited by au offeaded people than marked. the conduct of the

ADMISSION OF FREEMEN.
The Right Honorable the Lord Mayor sat in the Mansion-
Honse, at eleven o’c!
persons who had served notice, demanding their freedom o
city of Dublin. There were 38notices served for tbe day, an
ot the claimants Were admitted, amongst whom was Thomas
Mulhall, Esq., of Stephan’s-green, Attorney, the first gentle-

ibe city since the year 1691... Mr. Clements was counsel for the
Liberals, and Mr. Hayes attended for the Conservatives, al-
though the entire of the notices sérved were all on the liberal
side. The right of claim is of a three-fold character, namely,
by being the sonor grandson of a freeman—by being married to
the daughter or grauddaughier of a freeman—or by having ser-
ved an apprenticeship to a freeman.” In case of being married
to the daughter or grand-daughter of a freeman, it is requisite to

why, the Times will never recover from its stupefaction. Some
days since itdemanded why Catholic emancipatiort did not satis-
.fy Ireland; but the Tory organ does not seem to understand
that a concession like that of 1829 must have brought many
other concessions in its train. ’. Events will soon enlighten it on
ful weapon in its hands to reconquer other rights. a®
* ©. The Tories await with anxiety the use which the new
Lord Mayor will make of his power. For our part, his past
conduct, his character, and his wonderful ability, are assurance
enough that impartiality and justice will characterise his admi-
nistration. But let no one imagine that honours will arrest bis
progress in his efforts to liberate bis country from all that is odi-,
ous in the English yoke.| No; hear what be himself says—_

tain Repeal. I will attend at the first meeting of parliament, .

by the mass of the citizens; and depend upon it I will. not be
aivaid to make myself beard in calling for our just rights.’
. The Morning Post pretends tothink that Mr. O’Con~
nell will be a model for Conservatives, by his conciliatory con-
duct durivg his year of office, and
peerage for his services; but we think, that however the Lord
Mayor of Dublin may be a model for magistrates, he will not
the less continue to fulfil the duties imposed on him by his ar-
dent patriotism.” woe

‘(The Arts in Ireland. “>”
Those sceptics who, as an ingredient in arresting Ireland in’
ber forward movement now, deny her former pre-eminence
among the nations, are well answered and refuted in the follow-
ing extract from an able lecturer, now successfully delivering
discourses in England :— : ee :
. [From the Manchester Guardian} 0. eh
On Monday evening last, Mr. M, Conran, the musical pro-
fessor of this town, delivered the first of two lectures on the music
of Ireland, at the Manchester Mechanics’ Institution, the spa. |
cious lecture theatre of which institution was crowded to excess.
e. have never seen it so crammed, except on some lecture
night of Professor Edward Taylor, when the theme was musie,
and on the visit of Lord Brougham to the institution.” The lec-
i assisted by Miss Leach. and Messrs.,
‘ ads
turer on this occasion was
Standedge, Walton, and James Isherwood, in a series of nofewer
than twenty vocal illustrations of the music of Ireland, all from
ancient Irish melodies, : 5
p commencing, the lecturer said, that his object was less to
enter upon the historical and eritical brancbes of bis subject,
than to collect and arrange a few of the most common and popu-
lar features of the ballad literature of Ireland, to refer briefly to
the character and history of the popular Irish bards, and to give
sketches of the legends and traditions upon which the words of «
the melodies were founded. Passing over the introduction of
the Gregorian church music by St. Patrick, in the fifii century,
he mentioned St. Columbanus, as having founded a monastery *
in the seventh century, and laid down some very precise rules
for the performance of musical services. Hence the name Ban- .
gor, which literally signifies “ sweet choir.” There sul exiat
Trish musical MSS, of the date of the seventh century which
are preserved jn Italy. The venerable Bede recorded in the
eighth century, that the Northumbrians bad received Christi-
anity from a disciple of St. Columbaous at Bangor; and Fleury,
a French writer, states that Gertrude, daughter of King Pepin,
of France, sent to Ireland for persons qualified to teach church
music. Perhaps enough had been said to show, that the art of
music was known in Ireland at a very early period of European
history. " [le must not pass unnoticed that great national em-
blem of Ireland, the Irish harp. The date of its introduction
was unknown; but asculptured cross existed, which dated an-.
teriur to 830, in one of the ornamental compartments of which
a figure was represented as playing upon a harp without a foot
pillar. . The existence of a harp in Ireland of this construction
could not be traced, but there was no doubt that such harp had
existed there; and the musical antiquary, as Mr. Bunting ob-
served, would regard the specimen with interest asthe first harp
discovered without a foot pillar out of Egypt, giving birth to the
startling presumption that the Irish had originally received their
harp from’ Egypt, » The father of Galileo, the astronomer, wha
lived in,the middle of the 16ih century, stated, of the harp, that -
this most ancient instrument had been brought to Italy from Ire-
land (as Dante said,) where they were excellently well made,
and in great numbers; the inhabitants baving practised on it
for mavy ages.’ ‘A fine specimen of the national harp, said to
be that of their famous king Brian Boru, was still preserved iu
Trinity College, Dublin, and was in all probability the oldest
harp kaown io Europe. Still it was not of the remote antiquity
to which it was generally supposed to belong. That eminent
antiquary, George Petrie, Esq., had said, that, from the style of
the workmanship, it evidently belonged tothe 14th century:
and he concluded that it was not a bardic instrament, but a
small one used by ecclesiastics or in the service of the church,
and the sacred monagram
to bear out this supposition, | It was probable, as this harp bore
arms of the O'Neills, that it belonged to some member of
that distinguished family who lived in the fourteenth century,”
