 RIOT AT TROY, ON TUEsDAY.-We regret to learn that collision took place at Troy, on the Fourth, between the Montgomery Be- nevolent Society ofthat city, and the Hiber- nian Society. The former is an associa- tion comprised, we believe, of Protestant IrisIl-the latter of Roman Catholic.
 The Montgomery Association were on their way up State street, having just es- corted the Montgomery Association ot this city on board the Jonas c. Heartt. That as the Montgomery Association were going up State street to River street, they were met by the Hibernian Association, who had come up River street and turned down State street, the two associations got into col lson, the libernians being the aggressors. The Genet Pioneers, who through the day had acted as escort to the Montgomery As sociation, charged upon the Eibernlans with fixed bayonets and dispersed them inn mcdiately. We regret to learn, however 1 that in the melee, several of both parties were injured, Mir. David Eaton, one of the ] Marshals of the Montgomery Association seriously so. It was with the greatest difil- culty that the Albany Association could be kept on board the heat had they gone suit would have bee s;SA1bany Ado.
