RIOTS IN BOHEMIA.
PRAGUE, JULY 10.—We had fresh disturbances on the 8t11,;
but on this occasion blood was spilt. The workmen on the
railway assembled, to the number of some hundreds, near the
Porzitseh-gate, and remained perfectly quiet during.
morning, but did not work. It is said they are dissat's„teed
because, it having rained the day before, they were prevt.",
from working, and received only part of the day's "sc.g.o
Some companies of infantry and squadrons of cavalry ere:,
sent to occupy the gates. About four o'clock in the afterao;
it is not known from what causes (some say because
cavalry attempted to disperse them) they began an attiicA,
with stones on the Porzitseh-gate, which was shut. Ten reds
of the railway were broken up. The-stones were torn trod
the new wall, which runs along the Riska Mountain, an
thrown at the soldiers. The Custom-house was denwlis.led,
2r
the Imperial Eagle torn down and trampled under foot, till ia
length Prince Windisch Gratz, the Genekal commandiligi rt,
Bohemia, ordered the troops to fire. Two persons were but
one of whom was the child of a merchant that happene bat
be standing at a window. We saw six wounded persons' are
do not know if there were more. It is said that there
several in the hospital who were wounded by the eav;iirli
The animosity and rage of the populace is great, espeCl ,0
against the Jews. Several companies of soldiers remained
the neighbourhood during the night of the Bth, to protect ~
Jews' quarter.
