DREADFUL RIOT.-TWO PERSONS SHOT.

On Friday night, between ten and eleven o'clock,
a scene of riot and outrage trot Often exceeded took
place in the Borough of Southwark: more than al
thousand persons were collected upon the occasion.,
A public-house, the Black Lion, in Blackman-street,
was nearly demolished by an assemblage of the lower
class of Irish ; and two women were shot, and were
carried in extreme danger, to Guy's Hospital. One
of the women had sixteen shots in her head, and the'
other was in a situation not less critical. This ex-
traordinary disturbance took place, from the best in.
formation that could be gained, in the following man,
net:—The Black Lon, in Blackman.street, was fre-
quented (particularly the tap room) by working Irish,
and the parlour by persons of respectability in the
neighbOurhood. The conduct of the Irish has lately
been so very outrageous, that the windovis have been
broken by them. These outrages occasioned a num-
ber of people to collect together in the street, when
not unfrequently a general fight has followed, which
has not terminated without the interference of the
Police. About a fortnight ago, Mrs. Lasley, the
landlady of the public-house, charged a man named
Martin, at Uniouhall, with acting in the mat out-
rageous manner he possibly could, by demolishing.
the windows of her house, and with assaulting her.
Martin was at the "head of the gang of Irish la-
bourers, fish-women,tcc. and being a most notorious
character, Mrs. Lasley was afraid to proceed against
him, because his companions had threatened to be
revenged it she punished Mal tin. Martin agreed to
make Mrs. Lasley a compensation for the injury he
had done her, and, having withdrawn her crimple*,
against him, he was discharged The moment he'
was set at liberty he threatened to be revenged upon
Mrs. Lasley for causing him to be confined, and
swore that he would pull her house about her ears:
Since that period he had sought every oppor tinily to
effect Lis revengeful purpnse, by bringing numerous
persons to the house, and creating a nut. On Fri.
day night, about eleven o'clock. several respectable
tradesmen in the neighbourhood were in the pad er
of the Black Lion, where nothing but hilarity and
good humour prevailed. One of the party was slag-
ing a song. wrien they were disturbed by-two very
meanly-dressed fellows entering the parlour. Their
gestur.s gave indication to the company that their
intentions were of a nature not to be misunderstood :
their threatening attitudes caused every one to stand
upon the defensive. One of the fent).a s seised the
poker from the fire-place; the other stood with she
door in his hand, and taking a whistle out at his
pocket, blew it i; lic.rd in the street.
Mrs. Lesley heard it 411 :he bat. ~..rspecting that,
some of the Irish were coming to p.. y tier a visit, she
flew to the door, and called upon Mr. Abbot. a re.
erectable tradesman in the neighbourhood. who wan
in the parlour, to come to her assistance," and protect
her from the mob, which by that time had reached
the outside of the door, and dew aided *damn ce
into the house. The gang consisted of about levant)
persons: she shouted and yel;ed in a most terrific
manner', and were so very desperate that the worst
was to be apprehended, if they were admitted into,
'the house. Among the gang were a great number
of drosken women, chiefly of bad character, and the
men were mostly thieves. They were furious from
the liquor they bad drank, slid having Mann at
their head, and being pushed on by him, their aia-
duct wad extresnly -outrageous. They attacked the
house with mud, and such missiles as they could col-
lect together ; they even pulled up the pavement and
broke to the window shutters, windows, and doors,
and entered in different bodies at the doors, windows,
tad cellar. The ravage in the house then com-
nienced : the furniture was broken, the pots were
thrown about and trod under foot, and nought but
flestruction was to be seen on every side ;very one
who made the least opposition to their desperate and
' desolating ravages, was beat in a brutal and iitha-
min manner.
After they had destroyed every article, of fund.
cure on the premises, they proceeded to pull down
the wainscot partition that divides one apartment
from another. and finally they demolished the win.
dew frames and threw the pieces into the street. The
landlady of the haute. ran up stairs the moment the
mob had gained entrance into the house, to nee her
life, and to defend her property (a considerable sum
of money) which was deposited in a chest of drawers
in her chamber. Mr. Abbot. a man of great spirit.
followed Mrs. Lasky up stairs, and asked her if she
had not some fire arms in the house t She forte-
nately had a goo ready loaded with unaltshot. Mr.
Abbot immediately let it of amongst the crowd,
throegit the aperture, where a few minutes before a
_window stood. The contents of the item lodged in the
bead of a Young woman, named Elizabeth buns.
A dozen shots entered her forehead. The • mob
(which by' this time had increased to several hue.
deeds) were not at all intimidated by the effect of the'
firing of the gun, and continued to break, pull down,
and destroy every thing . within reach. Several
watchmen attempted to quell the riot, but their feeble
force was not able to oppose such's multittide. They
declared their object was to pull down the house and
slaughter !Veit Englishman they found in it. 'tar.
toutely one of the watchmta gave information, to
the constable of St. George's, Southwark, who hi',
mediately collected all the force he could, and proiii
ceeded to the Black Lion publiohouse. Prier to his',
arrival, the mob had made a combined attack to
seize Mrs. Lasky, who fortunately escaped down the
back stairs into the- yard, and sent a youth who was'
there kar the assistance of the police officers of Union
Hall and the parish constables. She was Obliged to
assist the youth over a bigg wall, every avenue in
front being completely blocked up by the rioters...
The youth met with the parish tonstablesandseveral
'police officers, who isoncenuated their lone, anti
then made towards the scan of outrage in a bad?.
Preuiout to their snivel, Mr. Abbot had reloaded
the gun. and was from necessity, to save bis own sad
the Is s of Mrs. Lesley, obliged to ire it off .ugale
among the mob, or they themselves would hams fan
into their hands: The contents of the AN Ireelidet
two parsons, a man slightly, and a wodinaronwsed
Ana Southfield, in a ',try dangerous manner. The
wounded man was taken home by his friends. He
had nothing to do with the attack on the house ; be
was casually passing, and was taken away Wore the
arrival of the constables. •
Tip wounded females were carried on shutters to
Guy's Hospital. Griat numbeneocoupnied theds

down die High-strati, Boropgb, turd as dig m owed
along they increased in neither. and when the wo-
men were lodged in the Hospital therretutwed to
Blackman-street. where Dot less. than two-thousand
persona were collected together. The exterior of the
public house bore marks of the devastation and ra-
vages of the lawless mob, and the interior was ten-
deted as melancholy a spectacle as the exterior, for
nothing whole on the premises could be found. Upon
the arrival of the police the mob "began to disperse
very rapidly ; the ring leader escaped, and many of
the most daring of the gang. Three fellows who
were active in the attack upon the premises, were se-
cured and taken to the watch-house. Saturday of-
ternonn Mrs. Lesley and Mr. Abbot attended before
Mr. Serjeant Sau.ou, and produced the gen which
was fired upon the mob.—Mr. Abbot said, that their
lives were presaved by his 6ing • he should not have
fired more than once, if it had been absolutely
necessary for their preservation. When he first fired,
tae mdb conceived, he supposed, the gun was not
loaded, and not seeing that the young woman was
wounded, they continued their attack. When he fired
the second time, the person who was wounded, fell s
the mob heard her screams, and immediately re.
treated, finding that he was determined to deleted
himself ; and from a report that the con.tables were
coming, they who had been most active decamped.
Toe Magistrate could net help lamenting that such
an outrage should have been committed : he direc-
ted the °limn to be vigilant in apprehending all
those who were concerned is such an atrocious tran-
saction, and ordered the persons who are in custody
to be brought up for examination on a future day.
The wounded females are still alive, and may (in
the opinion of the surgeons of Guy's Hospital) re.
'cover. They are, however, in a very dangerous
situation.

--BURRN-SOR7ARE.BILLISTIND OF Tile Lisa GUARDS.
11 Saturday Mr. Hatchets, proprietor of Hat.
chett's Howl, Piccadilly, was, summoned before Mr.
Worrs, the Sitting Magistrate, for refusing to take
in one of the Life Guards, with his horse, billetted
upon him.—The Constable of the Parish said, that
twenty horses and eleven men, of the First Regiment
of Lite Guards, commanded by the Earl of Hos-
itittotoo, were sent to him to provide quarters for
them for a month ; he had only five livery stables
and five hotels in his division; be quartered them
upon the stable-keepers, except five horses and
.five
men, whom he billeted upon the bowls, and werelly
them received, except by the defendant.--The de-
fence was, that Mr. Hatchets bad no horse -soldiers
billeted upon him for the last fifty years. except in
cases of riot, when they were upon active service,
and botel.keepers,not having stables,Were considered
exempt...-. The Magistrate said, there was no sack
exemption in the Mutiny Act. The Horse Guards
are now to be considered upon actual service, whilst
acting under the commend of their Officers; and
moreover. the Act exptirsifs that Licensed Victual-
lers, not having stabling, must Mate a. sufficient
compensation to provide proper accommodation for
such horses so billetted. Therefore sbe adjudged .the
defendant to pay the expellees incurred by the soldier's
horse, which stood et livery sioce the refusal, and to
receive the soldier.—Mr. Teddy, a. siable-keepert
mode a complaint against the constable for acting
sigh veniality. He Mid be had Ws seven stall•
stable, and had three horses endow man of the same
troop as above billetted upon him; that his ,nelh-
hours; who had stabling for JOO horses, bad but the
same numbers he mentioned Mr. Hughes, of North
Audley Mews,- who had seventy stalls, had but four
horses billeted upon him. The Magistrate thought-
thii division very unproportioaable, and ordered
Taddy shoold be relieved by removing some of the
horses to other quarters. , •
Bow.iithari--During the eveningi of Friday and
Savirday a reocontre tool place hi the neighbourhood
of the Peetmati-square Barrette, betty/eels a number
of Life Ofsardunen and some bricklayers' labourers.
The latter were furnished wittr bludgeons on SAter•
day night. Amongst the sufferers was a corporal
who had nothing to do with the row ; and a assts.
ble bedlam of. his fingers broke, and was Otherwise
much injured. General BARTON, fearful of tbe re-
newal df the attack by the tabooing, applied to Mr.
on Saturday morning, for advice and. as-
sistance; when the Magistrate ordered a considera-
ble lacrosse of strength to the different parties of the
patrols banging to this Office, particularly to the
parties who are stationed in that neighbourhood. The
dispute originated between the parties at a public-
house in that neighbourhood, about the cooking of
some !images. The labourers used the most aggra-
vating language to the Life Guardsmen, disputing
their having been at the battle of Waterloo, calling
then" Impostors. Piccadilly butchers," &c.
Masuou-House.—John Richards, a sailor boy.
of 16 years of age, entreated permission to be heard
by the Lose MAYOR. He stated, that he was a .oa-
tive of Cardiff; in South Wales, and had been one
of the crest of the ship Apron, of Myr& in Pern
