DREADFUL RIOTS AT LIVER-

POOL.-FIVE PERSONS SHOT.

We regret to state that this election has not passed off
without serious rioting having taken place, in the course
of which four men and one woman were shot, and others
severely, nay, dangerously wounded. It appears that a
party of the Conservative ship-carpenters and a large
party of the Irish, met after the nomination, and had a
regular pitched battle.
At one time there could not be less than 20,000 per-
sons congregated in St. James's-street. A large body of
the police, under the command of Mr. Whitley,
and a body of Chelsea pensioners, made every endea-
vour to restrain the riotous disposition of the mob, but
they were unable to do so for a great length of time.
Several persons were taken into custody.
In Fisher-street others of the Irish got upon the tops of
the houses, and were engaged in hurling bricks and mis-
siles therefrom at a most alarming rate. The mounted po-
lice immediately charged, and a party of foot police was
placed between the belligerents in Parliament-street, by
means of which they confined the Irish to the old bo •
rough and the Conservatives to the Park. Many of the
Conservatives had, however, by this time been severely
wounded, and as a natural consequence the party became
very much excited. The police then endeavoured to dis-
perse both sides, but were unable to do so until about
ten o'clock. In the meantime the Irish party were engaged
in smashing windows in Mersey-street and that vicinity,
and were so determined on doing injury that they kept
for a considerable length of time a large body of police
in pursuit of them. A body of the ruffians broke all the
windows in the house of Mr. Taylor, publican, in Simp-
son-street ; Mr. Gubbins, publican, of Park-lane, and the
Globe Tavern, in Kent-street—places where the ship-car-
penters have been in the habit of resorting, and which are
known to be held by Conservative landlords. The same body
then assembled in front of the public-house kept by Mr.
Casewent (Conservative), at Salthouse Dock. He warned
them of the consequences which would result if they pro-
ceeded to do any mischief, but, heedless of all remonstrance,
they smashed every window in his dwelling, and one
of the missiles, we regret to say, struck Miss Casement,
his daughter, and hurt her very severely. Mr. Case-
went then fired two pistols, loaded with slugs, amongst
them, and shot four men and one woman—one of the
men was very dangerously wounded, the others not so
dangerously.
The mob then threatened to have vengeance, and
hearing that fatal consequences might ensue, Mr.
Casement was conveyed to Bridewell under an escort
of police, and constables were sent-to guard his house.
He was to have been brought before Mr. Rushton
to-day on the charge, but should the wounds prove
mortal, a very general opinion prevails that a verdict of
" Justifiable homicide" can only, under the circum-
stances, be returned. Then the Irish rallied, and were
proceeding with a green flag along the streets, when
they wero met by two bodies of police and dispersed.
In the meantime, the whole of the north end of the
town, generally speaking, was in a state of the most tre-
mendous uproar. Somewhere about eighty persons who
had been engaged in the disturbance were taken into
custody, lodged in Bridewell, and were to have been also
brought before Mr. Rushton to-day. Hundreds of win-
dows, and, in some instances, the doors of houses, were
smashed to pieces.
Late at night an attempt was made to break into two
shops in Tithebarn-street, after the families retired to
rest, for the purpose of robbing the premises ; but the
police arrested the fellows in the act, and put them in
Bridewell.

These are the short facts of what occurred. The
scenes were of a very alarming character, and consider-
able injury to persons and property were the lamentable
consequences.
