FATAL RIOT.

On Thursday last (Ole 6th inst.) an afftat
took, place in the neighbourhood of this. city,

people. Certain persons inhabiting a: place cage".
the Killeens, in the north liberties of this City, are.
under the impression,' and we believe, have be`-!1'
advised,that they are not liable to church-ratcs'.
The-churchwardens of St. Mary's Shandong
under a different impression, went some days since
to distrain for the rates; 'but the distress was res''
