FiIATARISN RIOTS AT HARTLEPOOL.—At half-
past two &cluck on Sunday afternoon, Flynn, the
Idurphyite lecturer, took up a position in a huge piece of
vacant ground near the market-hall iu West
and from thence commenced a harangue in his own peen-
her style. liwie wee a groat crowd of persone. For
the Stet hour or more nothing of any note occurred, pub-
lic feeling finding vent in hisses anal cheers from the op-
poeitely inclined portions of the audience; but at
length the Irish commenced throwing stories, and using
other means of violence, whereupon the En--
fah turned upon them, and routed them from
their poeitionr. They, however, soon returned
reinforced by some further arrivals, including a
few fromneighlrouring towns, and the attack was renewed,
when a general *Wei ensued, and the fighting on both sides
heroine general. Showers of stoner and bricks were hurled
about in all direction., with more or less disastrous results,
and on the Irish side there was a plentiful supply of pokers,
cudgels, and other limiter implements of warfare. The
position of affairs was now most serious, and defied all the
efforts of a large detachment of police, under Superin-
tendent Davidson, to restore quiet, and in the attempt to
effect this they were subjected to some rough handling.
Oue of the county force, named Thomas Hurkintith, was
attacked by an Irish labourer named l'atrick Cairns, who
felled the officer by a furious blow with a pair of iron
which completely cut through his helmet, and iutlitZai
serious wound on hia head. He was quickly removed to
safer quarters by his brother officers, and a medical gentle.
men was sent for to attend to his wounds. tlaon after
this Monkbouee and another officer of the lone were able
attacked by I'eter lffseglynn. Their injuries., however,
were not of so serious a nature. Cairns and the other
men were taken into custody the same evening. A large
number of persons were more or less hurt in the row, but
these were chiefly Irish, and DO serious use has come to
our correspondent's notice. Cairns and )I.eglynn ware
taken before the magistrates at West Hartlepool Putty
Sermons. yesterday, and each sentenced to two months
imprisonment with hard labour for their share in the fray.
