LITTLE ROCK, Ar. WEDNEsDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 1881.

! lplebar, bearing four or live of what were said
 to be tri-coloured flags. considerable num-
 Der ot apparently respectable men followed d. ! long the foot pavements after them. Al various
 places as they passed along they stopped and
 cheered.
 On reaching little beyond the new building
 named Exeter Hall, and which is built on part ] of the scite of the Change of the same name. they came to place where 2 beard had been erected, in front of q place where the intended new building has not been made.
 1 After giving few cheers, they commenced pulling down these boards, ,and distribuine them among each other; and in this manner, perhaps. some twenty of the fellows wIio were then walk
 ing still before in the centre of the street. had armed themselves, when a strong muster of the police rushed upon them with slaves in their hands. The men dropped the boards, and has tily ran of. The police acted in the most de ] termined manner; but 1t mnst be admitted, that the unprovoked violence of the mob during q great part of the evening, was calculated to rouse most patient tempcss into rage.
 The mob assembled round the House of Lords yesterday evening wasEery dense and noisy, but otherwise innoxlous. They were kept back by the constablcs with great ease; but as each no- blemen arrived orlclt the House, he was assal- cd by cries of ssNo ATistocratsr-sNo Jesuitso ,"No Tyrants' No Taxes'-.sNo Police &e- These yociierations seemed to be indiscriminate, and without any application parties or indlvid- uals, for they were equally uttered against min- steral and opposition members. The Mar quis of Herford, Lord Granville, Lord Spencer, 1 the Marquis of Canricarde, and others, were Iindiscrninately assailed by such shouts; but Lord Granville drove through the crowd in his cabriolet, without receiving any further insult, and several noblemen passed through 1t on hore-
 back with single groos,ls, cquaiiy nlmoicstcd--- 1 The Duke of Welingtons carriage wae kept
 al the side of the portico, as Il waiting for it's
 master, and the eoachman was the butt of the leers and observations of the crowd; which. hosg- ever, were generally of humorous character. l Inc Duke h the mean time, had left the House | by another door, in the carriage of friend. At little before six clock strong party of police arrived, and at theif approach tue mob flew in l all directions to avoid them. Ore sturdy ieI- few with stentorlan lnngs, tried to rally the fu- gltipes, but not single man would stand by him, and he was removed with difficulty
 1 About o'clock last night, MT. Carter, one of the inspectors of the A. division, observed q youth, ill foraging cap and a white apron, per-
 anbulating Downing street, and, from his man
 ner suspecting that he had some evil intention,
 he accosted hin; the youth became agitated,
 and said, "Ill give it ,ou." sNo,7 said tho in-
 spector, ''l'll take #, let it be what it w.' 1 He then searched him. and in the side pocket of
 his coat he found horse pistol, heavily charged,
 a bag of gunpowder in his pocket, quantity
 of bullets, and d number of fnts, together with
 a tri-colored cockade. After some resistance,
 he was conveyed to the station-housc, in Gar
 den's lane, when he gave his name, William Ear
 Icy, of No. 10, Regent street, City Road. The
 police subsequently, captured a number of the
 rioters most prominent in the confusion, who
 were identified as being the nstigators in the tu
 mutt.
 l At I2 o'clock a strong force of the new po-
 lice were stationed at the foot of Waterloo
 Bridge, to prevent any rioting from the crowd,
 which might emanate from the meeting at thc I Rotunda, in the Blackfriars Road
 l At one o'clock the streets at the West end of
 the town appeared 10 be ina state of quictude- 1 A little after o'clock, some 700 or 800 per-
 sons, perfect rabble, came in body frem the
 Surrey Road, down Stamford street, breaking
 windows, hooting and hissing, and hallooing
 No police" Down with the policei" Ac.
 On arriving at the Waterloo Bridge Road,
 they were stolen upon very quietly and judi
 cioasly by about oie hundred of the police, who
 were in readiness at the police station, and af-
 ter slight skirmish, the cowardly rascals ran
 in all directions. Some thirty or forty passed
 on to Westminster Road, where they discovered
 two solitary policemen, on whom they commcnc- ed glutting their vengeance by knocking them down, and injuring one very seriously, who WAS taken 10 d surgeon. So great was the alarm, that every shop was shut immediately. and much
 was feared from so iawless a rabble; language
 gross inthe extreme, calling out the Duke or l Wellington wasathief; the - Ministers, ,&c. fl But q few knock-downs seemed to render them itame.
 J On Monday evening several daring ourages jwere committed in front of the Rotunda. in
