Yesterday, the town was comparatively quiet, though there
were some few demonstrations of hostile feeling, which,
however, were quickly suppressed by the police.

LATEST PARTICULARS—A POLICEMAN SHOT.—From an
early hour last night crowds were collected in those quarters
which were the scenes of riot and disorder on Wednesday.
Various vague reports, as to the carpenters coining to disturb
the inhabitants of Thomas-street, Atherton-street; Preston-
street, North-street, Lace-street, and the numerous adjacent
streets, were in circulation. The timely arrival of the police,
however, prevented the parties thus collected from proceed-
ing to riot and disturbance. One of these reports, however,
we are sorry to say, was attended with consequences not un-
usual in such cases. It appears that a report reached Thomas-
street that a body of carpenters were advancing with intent
to demolish the houses in that street. The consequence of
this was, that a Mr. Murray, a pnblicnn, armed himself
with a loaded musket, and as the police advanced to disperse
the crowd collected by these unfounded reports, one of them
was shot in the leg a little above the ancle, by the above in-
dividual. The policeman was taken to the Infirmary, where
it was found that, though the wound may in all probability
produce lameness, his life is not in danger. The policeman's
name is Nicholson, and No. 509 in the force. Mr. Murray
was in a state of intoxication, and states that he was not
aware but that they were the carpenters and not the police.
Murray is now in custody. At the moment we are going to
press the town is all quiet, but the police are on the alert in
case of any outbreaks;

DREADFUL RIOTS AT THE ELECTION.

Police-court—Yesterday.

At this court, yesterday, upwards of SO individuals were
put in the bar, in groups, charged with riotous conduct on
the day'of the election, assaulting the police and others,
breaking windows, &c., particularly after the close of the
poll. From the number of prisoners, and the length of the
evidence, (of which we have room for the heads only,) the
court, which sat at the usual hour, did not rise until half-past
six o'clock. The prisoners were, with few exceptions,
Irish. Peter Crawford and Michael Gibbon were charged
with a riot and an assault on a man, near the Old Fall Well
Tavern, New Haymarket. A hammer was found in posses-
sion of one of them. They were each fined £5, or, in de-
fault, to be imprisoned for two months.
Mary Burke, and Ann Howard (a girl), were charged with
having, at seven o'clock in the evening, broken the windows
of Mr, Robinson, publican, Scotland-road. The case was
proved, and they were fined 20s. each, the amount of the
damage, or, in default, to be imprisoned one month.
Edward Canavan, Robert Roberts, Paul Higgins, John
Duffy, Peter Meade, Michael Donovan, and Thomas
Hanlon, were charged with a riot and throwing stones at the
police, at half-past five, in Fontenoy-street, where a mob of
2000 to 3000 had collected. One of the officers had his
hand cut with a cooper's knife. They were required to find
bail to stand their trials at the sessions, themselves in £3O
each, and two securities of £l5 each. Two others were re-
manded until this day, to allow time for the witnesses to be
brought. An old man, named Donovan, who had taken
part, was discharged with a strong admonition. Two wo-
men, who had assaulted the police, were .fined 20s. and
eosts, or to be imprisoned 21 days. Frank Farrell, a tailor,
who was found with a clasp knife and a stick in his hand,
was required to find similar bail to the above, or to be impri-
soned two months.

Thomas Curran, for a riot and assault in Great Crosshall-
street, was fined £5, or in default to be imprisoned two
months.

Patrick Donegan and John Campbell, for rioting on the
passing of Lord Sandon's carriage, and breaking a landlord's
windows-243, or two months.

Peter Flaherty and Patrick Sutton, were charged with a
violent and unprovoked assault with stones, on three gentle-
men in a shandry—Mr. Gaskell, draper, of Moore-fields,
Mr. Chesworth, and Mr. Sixsmith—but to be admitted to
bail as before, if they could find it.

Two men, named Stutting and M`Gowatt, for breaking
into a house in Sawney Pope-street, and striking the police,
to find sureties, themselves in £lO, and two sureties in £2.5
each, or to be imprisoned one month.
Mary Jones, for smashing glass and throwing stones,
same evening in Great Crosshall-street ; fined the value of
the damage, £4, or to be imprisoned two months.
James Evans, for throwing bricks at the police, taken from
chimney-tops—a tine of £5, or two months. Two young
men, John and Patrick Smith, appeared for the defence, but
it turning out that they, too, were agressors, they were each
fined 20s. and costs, or to be imprisoned 21 days.
Joseph Lambert, for heaving bricks in Old Hall-street, a
similar punishment.
Edward Hood—heaving stones at the police—£s, or two
months. Frank Mach, for a similar offence, same fine.
John Wood, ditto.
Frank Connor, Thos. Larkin, Charles Larkin, and James
Smith, for breaking the windows and doors of police-officer
Reed, in Oriel-street, during his absence. Two other officers
had to remain in the house all night. The prisoners were
sent for trial.

John Kelly and William Hampson, for compelling the
customers of a baker to take back the bread they had
bought from him and getting back their money—tnerely
because he was a tory. They were severely reprimanded for
such intimidation, and required to find bail, themselves in
£lO each, and two sureties each.
John Hewitt and Joseph Wilson, for attacking Mr.
Wood's, publican, Tarleton-street, and breaking all the
windows in front,—to find bail to appear at the sessions,
before being liberated.
James M`Namer, Peter Key, Thomas Loughlin, Thomas
Dickenson, Henry Garvin, Timothy Regan, John Mitchell,
Andrew Hamilton, Robert Hunt, and John Smith, for being
active in the same series of riots. They were all identified.
On one of them was found a bludgeon or staff, with a large
nail knocked into it, by way of loading it. They were all
ordered for trial, but with an intimation that they may be
liberated on bail, themselves in £3O each, and two sureties
in £l5 each. _ _

A number of other rioters were remanded until this day,
to enable-them to bring forward witnesses for their defence.
FOUR PERSONS SHOT.—On the night of the election,
about ten o'clock, an immense body of persons, chiefly Irish,
collected in South John-street, and went down in a body past
the Custom-house, into Mersey-street, and thence to the
premises of Mr. Casement, publican, in Canning-place,
Salthouse Dock, who, as well as his two sons, are ship-
carpenters. They made an attack upon the house, smash-
ing all the windows with stones and much of the pro-
perty inside, and also repeatedly attempted to force the
door open, which was with difficulty bolted against them.
At length Mr. Casement, finding himself, family, and
customers, including several ship-masters, in danger of
losing their lives, fired a pistol loaded with slugs twice out
at the upper window, wounding four persons, all of whom,
unfortunately, were mere spectators of the outrage—upon
which the rioters speedily dispersed. Mr. Whitty and a
number of the police were soon afterwards on the spot, and
found the destruction great. As the lives of some of the
parties were considered in danger, Mr. Casement was placed
its custody of two police-officers, and was yesterday brought
up to the court to await the result of a legal investigation into
the circumstances.

The following were the parties wounded :
John Bowers, an orphan aged 12 years,—wonnded in the
forehead between the eyes, in the chest, and in the left thigh
and leg. He is not yet considered out of danger.
Ellen Boyle, aged 17, wounded under the right breast.
Samuel Cooper, umbrella-maker, No. 60, Paradise-street,
two wounds, one in the left wrist, and another in the fleshy
part of the right arm.
Owen Bowden, a sailor, belonging, we believe, to a vessel
lying in George's Dock, two wounds—not serious.
A great number of stones, bricks, &c., were found in the
house thrown in by the windows, and Mrs. Casement and
others were seriously hurt by such missiles.
Mr. Davenport appeared for the defendant, and the fol•
lowing evidence was adduced :

A fine little intelligent boy (whose name we did not obtain)
said—last night, after it was dark, a large mob came round
Mr. Casement's door—men, women and children. They
came from Mersey-street, 12-1 yards off there. Saw them
break the windows with bricks and stones. They sai
nothing, but shouted hurrah, and made a noise when they
broke the windows. They stopped ten minutes or a quarter
of an hour. There were lights in the house below. I saw
the prisoner at the door. It was then open. The mob did
not attempt to go in. lie swore that the first man that went
across his door, whether whip or tory, he'd shoot them. He
had nothing in his band then. This was after they broke
the windows. I then went away. I believe his wife, or
some girl, was with him at the door, and wanted him to go
in, but he would not. I was about ten yards from the do
He spoke loud enough to them.
Cross-examined by Mr. Davenport.—l did not hear the
mob swear what they would do. I was afraid, and went
away.
Elizabeth Sweeney, a girl, said,—l was there between ten
and eleven last night. I saw the mob come. There was a
great many people. I saw them heaving in bricks through
the windows. They broke some of them. I heard them
say nothing. They shouted when they broke the windows. I
was about ten yards from the house. W hen the mob shouted
I went in front. I saw a man at the first room window. I
saw that person let off one pistol and then another. They
were pistols, as I thought. Two shots were fired. The
person firing did not speak before he fired. It was a few mi-
nutes after the windows were broken • and the mob just then
going to begin again. The fire flashed over my eyes, and a
girl, Ellen Boyd, I believe, came to me, and said "Oh I
am shot ! I said I feel too as if something has come in my
eyes." " Oh," she said, " I ana not able to walk," and she
cried out for her mother, who has been dead a good many
years. She leaned on my shoulder, and was taken home to
the bottom of Thomas's-street. _ _

Cross-examined.—There was a deal of noise, but no dis-
tinct words. Nobody abused the wounded.
Samuel Cooper, a young man with his arm in a sling, said
he was an umbrella maker : was present watching them
break the windows. Saw them break the windows of
house two or three doors from Canning-place. Saw them
come. They made a noise, but I could not hear what they
said distinctly. After they broke the windows, I saw a
man, as I think, throw up the sash and fire a pistol. I was
too far off too hear him speak, if he did speak. A second
pistol was fired, but I could not tell by whom. Just after-
wards I felt something stinging me in both arms, and the_
blood trickling down my shirt, I saw the people run in
wsaan
directions, except those that were wounded. The door
shut all the time. There was a fan-light over the door, and
it was all smashed.
Cross-examined.—I heard no threat used
by the crowd ;
there was too great a noise at the time.
