came 10 hand this morning, confirms the
statements published by Us last week of
the doings Of the mob, and gives the par
tieuiars at length.
Great credit appears TO be due TO the
Rev. DIR. Lee, The Catholic clergyman,
for his unwearied exertions 10 restraining
these desperate men from the commission
of the worst outrages. A petition was got
| up by that gentleman, in conjunction with
the Rev. Mr.. Barnes, Presbyterian min
lister, addressed 10 Gov. Sir Charles Bag
OF, setting forth the destitute condition of
the operatives assembled on the line ofthe
Welland canal, and asking that in the alb
scence of employment, some measures be
devised for their relief. This was read
to the scattered multitude al various points,
and served considerably to allay the ex-
element. A subscription was likewise
circulated by the Catholic clergyman, TO
which all classes and denominations 1iber-
ally contributed.
The Journal complains earnestly ofthe
ineficiency of the laws, in allowing the
whole community for miles round 10 re-
main for a week like sacked city, at the
mercy of a band of rioters, patrolling in
all directions and ascribes the fact that
no lives had been lost by the citizens to
the simble reason that no resistance had
been made. -

verbally that on the night OF Tuesday last.

attacked by~a party of Orange men-a

This would show that the disturbances
are by no means ended, and if, 10 addition
to the troubles caused by want of employ
ment and food, be superadded the horrors
of bloody religious feud among the
wretched men themselves, we know not
what scenes Of violence may transpire be-

about 1000 of the laborers at ST. Cathar-

DREADFUL SURGICAL OPERATION
One of the most appalling and arduous
surgical operations perhaps ever attempt
ed, was performed at the Kings College
Hospital, New Brunswick, last week, on
young girl of twelve, who had tumor
in cavity of the upper jaw.bone, which
actually pushed the eye-bali out of Its Soc
ket, and produced the most hldeous de-
| formity. Ia order to get at the tumor, in
cisions had to be made in the integuments
of the face, and the cheek-bones sawed
through and removed from their various
| detac For about sixteen minutes,
the time which the operator took, the
whole of the right side of the lace was laid
bare, exposing The back part of the throat,
aongue and palate. Some ofthe spectators
turned pale at the sight Of the operation,
but the poor girl bore it with wonderful
fortitude, and the operator worked with a
skill as though his nerves were of iron.
After the operation, the whole OF the COM
plicated integuments were replaced with
sutu ees, and there are hopes of the recoV-
cry Of the girl, if the nervous system sur
wives the shock.
GREAT Storm AND FLooD.-A terri

This morning, the streets bordering
