BRUNSWICK GAMBOLS

About half-past nine o'clock on Thursday night, nume-
rous motley groups of beaux and blackguards began to as-
semble in C4.l!ege-green adjacent to the statue. The usual
yells and vociferations soon gave unequivocal proof of the
party they belonged to. "No Popery !" " Down with
Wellington, Peel, and the Pope l" " A groan for Angle-
sea, O'Connell," Itc., were responsively re-et:hoed from the
attic story windows, and from the railed-in space in front
of the College, which was numerously filled. Two of the
Magistrates from College-street police-office, and a suffi-
cient numher of peace-officers, were promptly on the spot.
The efforts they made to keep down the indications of riot,
which were but too apparent, were effectually seconded
by the arrival of a party of the 7th Hussars, who, in
passing by :he Cllege, were assailed wills groans and
hisses for themselves and Lord Anglessa. Hearing
their gallant and beloved Colonel's name so vituperatively
ride use of, the brave follows instantly dashed in
amongst the noisy miscreants, and made such good use
of the flats-of their swords, that the valiant Brunswicliers
were soon dislodged. A party of the horse-police, that
inoffensively passed a few minutes before were loudly
cheered by " a clap for cur friends, the Protestant police
of Dublin." The Lord Mayor, who also arrived, and
most vociferously cheered by his Brunswick brothers,
whom he 'Midi%) anti in a subdued and complaisant tone,
requested to disperse, lest, as he expressed himself, "our
Cause" should suffer. A party from the Head Police-office
also came up, and took six or eight into custody : four
of them dandies of the most exquisite cast, and two others
the raggedest and most squalid ruffians ever beheld—
they were lodged in Fleet-street watch-house for the night.
Two detachments separated from the main body, for
the purpose of attacking the houses of some obnoxious
individuals in the Green and in Merrion-square. We
understand an attempt, which we were glad to hear
turned out unsuccessful, was made on Lord Plunkett's
house in the former place. Mr. O'Connell's residence
in the square was partially attacked, but after break-
Mg about twenty squares of glass, the ruffians were
made to scamper in all directions by a few of the 7th
Hussars. A gentleman called at our office to any, that
during the evening's exhibition at Marshall's Panorama of
the Battle of Waterloo, Lower Abbey-street, when the
person who describes the incidents in the picture, came to
that part, where the gallant charge of cavalry, headed by
the heroic Aoglesea, when he pointed out the figure of
the brave General, a peal of hisses and groans burst from
a numerous group of Brunswickers, who, it seems, went
there for the purpose. -At the close of the exhibition,
when the barid struck up " God save the King," these
regal rebels honoured the national anthem with similar
tokens of their loyal devotion to the reigning Monarch of
their adored House of Brunswick. It was near twelve
o'clock before the Hussars compelled, or their gallant
brethren in arms, the Dublin police, coaxed, the dispersed
groups to ascend to their garrets, or dive to their cellars.
