ALARMING RIOTS IN ARMAGH.

TWELFTH JULY.—S..turday being the anniversary of the battle
of the Boyne, processions took place in several parts of the country,
which were joined by some of the lodges from this city, who on
' their return were attacked by a violent mob, when a collision took
place, and a number of stones having been thrown by both parties,
and shots fired in all directions, the consequence was that nine or
ten persona were seriously wounded. The row commenced by one of
the adverse party pulling a fife from the mouth of one of the Orange
party playing it, when the riot became serious and general, and
was only quelled by the interference of the magistracy, who called
out the police and military, and after great exertions and energy put
an end to the riot, but not without themselves receiving assaults
and injuries.
The persons wounded are Wm. Magee, Callan-street, a gun-
shot wound in the shoulder, serious; Thomas Corr, gun-shot wound
in shoulder; John Boyle, serious wound in groin ; Wm. Carson,
aged sixty-six, severe contusion of face and body ; Jane Carson,
aged thirty.five, contusion of eye and wounds in body ; Anne
Maguire, wound in right side of abdomen (serious). There are, it
is thought more wounded, as the the affray, while it lasted, was
most desperate, a great number of the windows in Thomas-street
and Irish-street having been broken. The riot commenced at five
o'clock, when the shops in general were closed, and it did not
terminate until eleven at night. Great praise is due to Counsellor
Robinson and Mr. Paton, magistrates, who were promptly on the
spot, and but for whom the scene of outrage and bloodshed might
have been more extensive and serious. Since writing the above
we have heard that one of the wounded persons has died.—Armagh
Sporting Chronicle.

day for the purpose of obtaining his certificate.

attendance for the purpose of opposing the application for cer-
tificate now asked for by Abraham Henry Chambers ?

to oppose.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, July 15.
(Before Mr. Commissioner RABBIS.)
" BOATSWAIN SMITH" IN DIFFICULTY.

The insolvent, known as " Boatswain Smith," applied on
his petition to be discharged. He was liberated on bail a fort-
night back, and there was now no opposition made to him.
The debts on the schedule were 441/., of which no consi-
deration had been received for 275/. ; the bona fide debts were
only 162/. The insolvency was attributed to the law expenses
(the non-consideration debt) incurred in being ejected from
the Danish church in Wellclose-square, which he had rented
at 501. a year from 1825, and his debt for rent was 34/.125.
He had been connected with the British and Foreign Seamen
and S'ldiers' Friend Society.
The insolvent, in answer to the questions of Mr. Commis-
sioner HARRIS, stated that he had made an application to the
Thatched House Society, but obtained no assistance, because
he was in custody for law costs in an action of ejectment. The
building which had been used as the Mariners' Church in Well-
close-square had lately fallen down, and the property therein
buried. . .

Mr. Commissioner HARMS said he perceived the insolvent
was in custody for the costs of an action of ejectment, and re-
quired an explanation on the subject.
The insolient stated that there was a mariners' Danish
church in Wel!close-square, of which he was the minister. The
place was taken about twenty years ago to afford religious in-
struction, and he had the superintendence of the place. The
rent bad been paid, and an action was brought in ejectment to
obtain possession, and he was now in prison for the costs of the
same.
Mr. Commissioner HARRIS remarked that one of the places
in Wellclose-square had been obtained by an action, and the
other had fallen down. _

The Court ordered the insolvent, who appeared to be labour-
ing under indisposition, to be discharged.

A SEIZE INTELLIGENCE.

110 M E (?I I: C 11.1 T.— Chelmsfo rd, July 15.

The commission for the county of Essex was opened on Mon-
day. The business is rather heavier than usual, there being 25
prisoners for trial, sof whom are charged with arson. On the
civil side 23 causes are entered, three of them being special jury
causes. Chief Justice Tindal sat in the Crown court, and Mr.
Justice Coleridge presided at Nisi Prins.
(Before Chief Justice TINDAL. )
INCENrIARISM. —Samuel Read, 45,
_ was indicted for set-
ting fire to a stack of beans and a stack of straw, the property
of William Ridley, at High Ongar.
When the prisoner came into the dock he gazed wildly round
him, and looking up to the gallery, where a number of ladies
were sitting, he exclaimed, " Ah, there they are, I see them,
the angels—l do love them." He then made a low bow to his
Lordship, and burst into a loud laugh. His conduct altogether
betokened insanity.
Chief Justice TINDAL inquired whether the prisoner was in
a sane state of mind, or whether his conduct was assumed?
Mr. Neale, the governor of Springfield gaol, said the pri-
soner had been under his charge since March, and he had op-
portunities of observing his conduct since that period, and in
his opinion he was really insane.
The jury were then sworn to decide whether the prisoner
was in a fit state of mind to plead, and upon hearing the evi-
dence of the surgeon they found that he was not ; and he was
accordingly remanded until the next assizes.
