quarrel ensued between some of the men of the legion,
state of matters ara
who were drinking together at a beer-house in a street
called White's-row, and a souffle and fight was the
result. Knives were used, and finally one man of the
legion was so severely stabbed that lie died a'.
most instantaneously. The embarkation of 1,200 men of
tee legion was fixed for Monday, but the proceedings
of Saturday evening were of so riotous a character as
to render it a matter of the greatest danger to allow the
men, to remain on shore another night. The civil par.
tion of the community looked forward, indeed, to F.',unday
night with alarm. Happily the authorities dete mined
to embark the men oa Sunday afternoon, and accord-
ingly marched them from Browedowm at half pa st tveo,
and at hall-past four they arrived at the docky nrd ,forembarkation on board the Sultana and Cullode n. r Tot
a moment was lost in getting them on board ; they -all
being embarked in about a quarter of an hour.. The r nen
on this occasion, indeed, were very peaceable, and v
tell-
conducted. They numbered about 800, probably the
steadier men of the detachment for embarkation cm that
day, as the others necessary to make up the t of al of
1,200 were straggling about the town. Ample n asures
bad, however, been taken to preserve order wad the
safety of the dockyard. The ordinary milite xy guard
had been doubled or trebled. The jetties fr any which
the Germans embarked were guarded by 30 or 40 men
of the line each, with fixed bayocets, &o. whilst, in•
addition to the erdinary guard around t edockyard,
there was a strong reserve of upwards of
DO men, who
had strict orders to quell the slightest dig
