DISTURBANCES IN CANADA.--We
learn from the Rochester Post of Fri.
day, hat another outbreak took place
at st. GATHERINGS on the 23d iust.
during which the Catholic Church
was burnt, one man killed, and other
outrages purpetrated.
On the following night there was
another mob near Allensburg, in
which one man was killed and several
badly wounded.
On Monday and Tuesday nights
there were riots at Broad Creek,
which, like the others, were all on
the line of the Welland Canal. Three
men were killed and many seriously
wounded.
The causes Of the riots are starva.
tion--the feud lying between the
"Corkonians" and the "Conaught-
men"-as different parties of the
Irish laborers term themselves-such
as prevailed on the Genesee Canal in
this State, &c. Some of the British
Military were in the vicinity, but the
civil authorities do not like to EN-.
ploy them in quelling the riots. 1t is
an awful state OF things-produced
by a combination of causes-starva.
ton, s~ectarian bigotry, local feuds,
&c.
st. GATHERINGS is about sixteen
miles from Niagara river.
