A Score!! 'At oa.—We are sorry to any that the streets
of this city exhibited last night scenes of disgraceful riot and vio-
lence. These took place on the North Ilridge chiefly, anti on the
High Street, where a mob of blackguards assembled, and insisted
that every respectable passenger should take off his hat. Those
who demurred were instantly. pelted with dead eats and such other
garbage as could he found. Fur some hours the streets were held
possession of by this mob, and no passenger could venture with
safety along the bridges. ‘Vhen these rioters were tired of mis-
chief in this quarter, they proceeded to the Mound, and wantonly
attacked the caravans of the wild beasts and other public exhibi-
tions, some of which, in their brutality, they almost entirely de-
molished. The stage in front of Mr. James's caravans a part of the
mob seized upon, and hurled down to Leith, where they threw it
into the harbour. Ott their return they wantonly broke almost all
the public lamps on each aide of Leith Walk.—We do not under-
stand how these outrages were suffered to continue for such a
length of time, or why a sufficient force of policemen did not long
before clear the streets and apprehend some of the ringleaders. It
is not to be borne, that in a pt.pulous city. one of the leading streets
should be kept possession of by a mob of blackguards, for two or
three hours, so that no decent person could make his way without
bring exposed to insult and outrage. The mob were driven from
the Mound by the policemen, after which they returned to the
Itridgcs, and kept possession of them to a late hour. They were
prevented, however, by the police, from doing any farther mischief,
and Revers! of them, we understand, are in custody—Cakdoslaa
Alf crettry.
