not satisfy them on the subject, they have put forward Mr. tits-
liorne.asuike ; and full sure we are that if that eScrilent jeung
gentleman could have foreseen the hightful consequences, hobwould
have suffeeed any pain to his reeling.. sooner than endanger the
peace of the town of lialway. The lion. M. Ffreneh, tne of the

DREADrUL OUTRAGE.—AbouI half-past six O'clock on the
evening of yesterday, a party of the county pedice, under the com-
mand of Chief Constable Shasincr, were violently assaulted with
:stomas and other missiles, while endeavouring to quell a riot in
.hop stmt. We regret to add, that one of the polite was so se-
verely wounded by a blow of s stone on the brad, as to 'leave his
•iite in danger; but we cannot avoid giving every credit to Mr.
:41anner, the officer in command of the party, f w the coolness and
liomanity evinced by himself and his men under the assaults and
insults of the people; indeed, his conduct reflects the higliest ho-
nour upon Ititn—Cuunairet Journal.
