two e'cicck, the quiet of cur last Sehhath was again
disturbed by the rabhle of " the Pound," who, in a body
or four or fiv a hundred, atteckel the houses in Wilson-
street, and also stoned any persoes who happened to be
standing in the street. There being no constabulary
9nerterel in that locality at the time, the im b had full
liberty t 3 carry on their work, but the iehabitants of the
Place turned out, in order to protect their houses, and
stones were thrown for about half an hour between the
halides. After some time, a- psrty of constabulary
arrived, but the rioters had previously dispersed. Such
