DREADFUL Riors-FoUR MEN AND ONE
WOMAN SHOT!
We regret that our election wa. no, passed Off so
quietly we had supposed, but that some bloodshed
and serious inUr, TO property have occurred. We
have endeavofed to obtain the particulars from source
on which wo can place the fullest reliance and sub

the nomination OF the several candidates was taking
place tho lrsh IN rshebnr md several other streets
In that vicinity, manifested very rioous disposition
and, that later IN the day they collected in such vas,
crowds. MAT nearly the whole body Of the police had
10 be kept IN tho neghbo;hood 10 preserve something
like order.
Early the morning Of Yesterday they eyinced the
same rio,ous disposition by attacking persons Ia their
houses and throwing stones at the police. In the
south end Of the town there considerable excite
ment during the day, but rioiing whatever up
o'clook-and in consequence OF the calm which pre-
vailed some Of the police drafted from the south
10 the north end. About Sir O'Clock large party Of
ship carpenters, who had been IN front Of Sir Thomas
Bsnckets residence IN Rodney street listening the
speeches Of our newly elected members, formed pro-
cesslon and were proceeding homowards along New
Bird street when they we're set upon in the most ero
cious manner 10y about sir hundred Irish fellows, and
most savagcly assaulted with brck.bats budgeons,
and e-pieservers The carpenters, OF course retail
lated, and for some time fight OF rather a serious
character between the two parties continued. The
murderous weapons with which the Irshmen had ann
ed themselves proved too powerful contend gains'
and just the ship carpenters re,rcang out of
New Bird street into Saint Jamcss street. the police
20 the number OF 100 Whereabouts came up and pre-
vented the lrIshmen from pursuing them.
A dreadful assault was then made upon the police
by these niuraod wroches and for period of abou,
two hours they had to contend against showers Of
bnckbais and other missiles, which were thrown at
them from all directions The roof, of the houses in
which tho lrishmen reside in Brick street, Newha-
street and Crosby street, ascendcd by that party
and from that elevated position they continued TO pet
down bricks and states upon the heads of the unior,un
ate police, stripping the roofs and dilapda,ing the
chimnes 10 furnish themselves with missiles During
tho continuance OF This scene number of windows
were smashed, and about half past eight it assumed

The latter body however, not being under proper dis

several bystanders and as Mr.. Witty had reason 10
believe that they were doing deal OF mischief, he put
the whole Of them into ST James's market and locked
them up, feeling assured that he had a sufficiently
strong force under his command TO quell any dstur-
banoe Independent, OF them. An alarm s1en came from
the neighborhood OF Grafton street. and thher Mr.
