bled, sang " Auld Lang Syne." The Duke of

ORANGE-1110TINCI.—G011110CK.—It inlaid appear
that the Greenock riots which were set 'going by an en-
thusiast or fanatic named Orr, have extended themselves to
°snuck. On Friday n4ht about nine o'clock • lane party
of men and boys marched from Greenock to Oourock,
armed, it is said, with sticks and skull-erackers, and pa-
raded through the village in search of the Irish Roman
catholic' who might be resident In the place. Several
of the houses were entered, and some of the
furniture destroyed, but the Irishmen had wisely
taken themselves out of the way. The fellows
were advised to disperse, and, amidst cheers and
shows, they accordingly returned to Greenock.
Glappw Herald.—lirnaciP.—On Sunday, at midnight, a
band of Orangemen, supposed to belong to Greenock,
entered this quiet amid retired village, and commenced to
smash the windows and commit other depredations on the
dwellings of almost every Roman catholic inhabitant in the
place. The work of destruction was executed with great
dispatch, and with • certainty, as none but Roman
catholics were moleapd 'orb% Braid* Mail.
