THE CHAIRING.
(mimosa lion Thu DUBLIN Wpastswi sore or,rinerr,)
Yelteriity, the chairing of the .Fneeessful candidate int'
the representation of the county of Dahlia hmk-place.—•
The f: tends of Col. White assembled at an early hoar in
the :awning, .at the costal Court Holse, Kilinainhan,
aring standards, on which various mottos were exhibited ;
the prevailing eoloar.s being pink and blu#. About half-
past twelve o'clot•lc an Man- nse con-oar:e having assem-
bled, the pro:ession was got into form; and, Col. White
having ascended the Chair, amid loud fleeting, it began
to move from the liustings.towards the City —and a spirit
of conciliation teemed to pervade the entire proceeding,
the various stan lards bear.ng utot:os as follows :

White and Con illation.
The Kin;, Wellea'ev, and Conciliation.
Independence, the Constitution, and Co ni:iwion.

The greatest order and regularity prevailed until the
Procession reached Trinity ( °liege, ft ton whenty an attack
was made on the people. Stones were flung front the front
of the College, inside the iron raging, from the Win:lows,
and from the roof. Consteinttion for a mown' prevailed,
until some of the populace seized the stones which w..re
flung a' them, and broke the windows of the College. In
their baste, the orange, women's baskets were resorted
to by the pripu'ace, and their contents flung against the
windows, •

Several persons who hid accompanied the Procession
scaled the iron railing of the Coll .ge,and stick in baud,
compelled the assailants to retreat though the small evor,
of the College, which was quickly closed ac ; but two
I of the party who were shut out were severely handled by
the mob. In opening the door to rescue them, ten or
twelve of the mob rushed in, and the door was again
quickly closed.
Sereral perimna have been seriously hurt, we under-
stand by this affray; we have heard that one WOlllB9 had
her child killed in her arms, and that a youn; girl r •ceived
a blow from a stone in the head, by which she has been
severely injured.
When the attack commenced the chair had not come
up; when it did the Candidate booed and saluted the
Col.ege, from the sindnars of which some persons were
seen threatening with clenched hands. In cunsciittence,
of this attack the route of the proeeeslon -teds -chatigdli,
and instead of griing up Grafton-street, arid ronn4 Ste-
phen's-green, end Merrion-square, as had been the Origi-
n .1 intention, it proceeded dui% u Westmorland-street.
An attempt o as made by some of the foot plice, aboat
f o'clock, to disperse the crowd near the Candidate's
house, but they Mere beaten off; one man in the multi-
tude was, we understand, dreadfully hurt. A ho ly of
horse police, consisting of from 2U to 30, came in fall
speed to the assistance of the foot, but when they arrived
all was quiet. An olfirer's guard of the I leo Iteganent
was placid at Sir Compton Domville's Committee-sumo
in Gcorge's-strees.
At ten o'clock last night a riotous mob, armed with
heavy bludgeons, rushed throngs Dania-street, lin.ftan-
street, and Anne-street, cheering for Sir Compton DORI •
ville,-and assaulting all who reused to join their shout.
They stopped for some time oppoihe the alansion-house,
hissmg and groaning the Lord Macor, and m Elting the
echoes ring o ith their applause of Sir Ilarcoart Lees,
Mr. Sutter, Ilandivich, and other respectable supporters
of Orange Ascendancy. A number of other persons soon
collected, and loudly cheered Colonel White and the
Lord Mayor; so that the city was kept in a state of ex-
citement for a considerable length of time.
Three persons have been seriously injured by the in-
dignant populace, who were so wantonly attacked by a
portion of the College la.la, viz:—Mr. St. George, who
was decorated with orange ribrons; a person of the name
of Spray, and a porter, named Cope.
We expect that the conduct of Nye individuals who
were stationed on the top of the College, and inside of
the rails, undergo a strict seratiny.—They were pre-1
pared for interrupting the procession of Colonel White,
being provided with stones, which they hurled against
the Gentlemen who headed the cavalcade, by which seve-
ral of thent were injared. Th a trees inside. the College
Palk wall, in Nassau-street, were decorated with orange
flags, which remained until long after the Chairing was
over. It wasknown the day b ttVre yesterday that a party
in the College had organized this projected attack on the
procession.
