DUBLIN, July 25.
Yesterday evening a great number of people assembled in a tumultuous manner, near the Parliament House, in consequence of some seditious hand-bills which were distributed the preceding day. About eight o'clock at night, they proceeded to Fleet-lane, where they totally destroyed fifteen houses, committing at the same time many acts of outrage. The police at length appeared, and a desperate battle ensued, when the police were completely worsted. Some lives were lost on both sides. Elated with their victory, the mob marched down Fleet-street, committing great excesses. At ten o'clock this morning, a large body of the rioters were employed in levelling with the ground the houses they had destroyed the preceding evening, when a party of the 80th regiment arrived, and put an end to their amusement. The military, having completely dispersed the insurgents, returned to the barracks.
