RIOT at HILTOWN, COUNTY DOWN.

Extract of a letter from Newry, 7th November, MVO:—
" I just seize this opportunity of telling you that a serious
affair has taken place at the little village of Ililtown, with-
in eight miles of this; the entire occasioned by au Orange
procession who were marching (decked in the trappings of
the confederacy, to celebrate the Anniversary of the Gun-
powder Plot), past the Catholic Chapel of Ililtown, just
as the congregation were coming out after Mass, on last
Sunday. Strife arose between the parties, whilst passing
each other, close to the Chapel, on the road. The
Orangemen being well armed, fired on the crowd.—
Three Catholics were killed, and great numbers on
both sides dangerously wounded in the desperate en-
counter that ensued. These are the general facts.—
An authentic detail of the more minute parts of this
tragedy not being as yet comatable, if I may use the word,
but when it is, you shall have it from me. That whole
district of country is in a state- of unparalleled excitement
and alarm, and I dread that grievous will be the conse-
quences springing from such a transaction. It is the ge-
teral opinion here now, that the Orange faction are anxious
to produce something in the way of a small rebellion, in
order to mar any hopes the Catholics may have for Eman-
cipation in the, next Session of Parliament. It is believed
'that it is now (having this in view) a primary object of
theirs to goad the peasantry into some act of aggression,
that they may banquet on the twofold gratification of spill-
ing their blood, and putting into the hands of their enemies
an argument for the continuation of their degraded and op-
pressed condition.—Dublin Morning Register.
