SERIOUS RIOT AND LOSS OF LIFE.

SHIELDS, MAT 30.

A most desperate riot took place this morning 011
the sands ►t South Shields, where races were held yester-
day. It appears that an Irishman named James Roo, a
publican at the Castle• Garth, Newcastle-on-Tyne, had
tent at the races, as also had another Irishman os the name
of M'Anelly, a publican at Gateshead. Roe, it is stated,
bore M'Anelly a grudge, and on Tuesday he brought
several Irishmen down f rem Newcastle, with a threat
that they would clear the whole of the teats. About midnight
• deaf and dumb young men, of the name of Johnson,
an Englishman, and a most harmless character, went with
another man into Rose tent, where they were attacked in
a halo:cps mariner, escaping at last with the blood
streaming from their persons. Some Englishmen who
saw their deplorable condition sought out two pplicemen,
mod went to Roe's tent. Toey were immediately attacked
by the Irish party, who ware armed with bludgeons, and
were driven outside, where they were joined by two other
policemen, and a fierce encounter took place. Two of the
policemen were fearfully beaten about the head with
bludgeons, and all four were left insensible. The English-
men retreated, and the Irishmen made back to their tent,
which they barricaded, and whence they fired guns upon
the people outside, fortunately without doing any injury.
The wounded policemen were removed in • cart from the
sands to • tavern, and from thence to their homes, where
they were immediately attended to by medical men. By
the advice of the Mayor reinforcements of policemen were
mat for from the River Tyne and Tynemouth police stations,
and, under the command of Mr. Engine, Mr. Mitchell, and
Mr. Reed, and assisted by a considerable body of civilians,
they marched down to the sands. This was about three
o'clock in the morning. The Irishmen were still firing
guns, and actiog in • riotous manner. Mr. Raglan
demanded that they should desist, but he was
answered by a volley from Agun. He went nearer,whee some
one thrust a sword through his leg. An order was then
given to attack the tent, when aboat 30 Irishmen, armed
with pistols, guns, and bludgeons leaded at the end, rushed
out upon them. A desperate conflict sassed, which lasted
for about 20 minutes, bat 33 of the rioters were eventually
captured. the rest fled. Many of the rioters were fear.
fully wounded about the head, some of them seriously.
About a doses have been removed to the hospital in
Durham gaol, and the rest are under medical treatment in
the lock-up house. But one of them, Peter Campbell,
' a beer-shop keeper, died in the station-house this afternoon.
Maddison, • policeman, is in a very precarious condition.

safe arrival of the Candia at that stotion on the 21st instant,

from crankiness, and everything having proceeded eatisfec•
torily to all on board.
