RIOT IN EDINNUROH.—Monday night last, many of
the streets In the middle of the city were thrown into the greatest
confusion by a mob of michievous boys, about three hundred in
number, headed by a party of journeymen bakers, who assembled
on the bridges, and therefrom proceeded along the Cowgate,
High street, he. with the wanton and dastardly intention of
suiting all the Irish they could seize upon. Several persons were
made the victims of their brutality, and those niee were col-
lared, and questioned• as to their country. Several windows have
been broken, and we fear that many of the poor Irish are hurt.
The proceedings continued for nearly two hours, without any force
being opposed to them. The Police seemed not able or afraid to
encounter them, and a party of military was at last .procured to
quell them 1. a few of the most outrageous are in custody.
