An affrav occurred at the Circus IN Montreal
on-the evening of the 18th instant, OF which an
account is given in the Courant OF the 2lst.-
It appears that the performance OF the Iailor's
Journey to Brentford gave offence to few the
operative tailors in the city, who determined to
put down the performance. BY desPatching
circulars and concerting plan of of operations.
a number of the rabble were induced to JOIN in
the project. None of the merchant taiiors nor
any of the respectable jolrneymen joined in 1t.
It was advertised for Friday evening. the 10th,
and on that occasion. when the performers enter
ed the ring to commence it, number Of persons
with bludgeons entered the ring, Knocked them
down, and put an end TO the exhibition; the
rest of the spectators dispensing. On Satur-
day evening, for which the piece had been pre-
viously advertised, an ARRAY again occurred
We copy from the Courant:-
(" All was peaceable till the redonbtabie Billy
made his appearance. when person from the III
side Of the Circus made signal to the mob in
the street. and Immediately a large number of
people armed with sticks and bludgeons rushed in
and attempted to take possession of the Ring as
on the previous evening. This was met by the
opposi.ion party by an instantaneous rush. the
circus presented scene of understandable tumult
and uproar. The Tailors were in few minutes
expeled-the doors closed-and the perform
ance went through amidst the most astounding
plaudits and shouts of victory. Whilst this was
going on inside, the expelled party attacked the
circus with stones and attempted to pull part
of it down. but seemed to act with uncommon
imbecilitv; for notwithstanding they were lei
almost entirely uninterrupted for more than al
hour. the boards pulled down were put up agar
in about ten minutes. Whilst this rlotous par
of the proceedings was going forward. few o

mob, and in "a mild tone requested peace; thi
