ORANGE OUTRAGES. —The Portadown correspon-
dent of the Freeman's Journal says ;—A riot of a party na-
ture took place in this town about 11 o'clock on the night
of the 16th inst., between some Protestants and Roman
Catholics, in which a maninamed John Redmond, a car-
penter, and of the latter persuasion, received a stab of a
knife in the breast. The cause of the riot was that the
Protestant party called out " To h— with the Pope," when
the other party cheered for " Garryowen." The former
party, having gone back into town for reinforcements, im-
mediately returned, when assaults were made freely on both
sides, but, hearing the police were approaching, they dis-
persed in opposite directions.
