Boyne, on the 18th instant have turned out more
| serious than anticipated. The old feuds be-
tween the Orangemen and Catholics, have, 1t would
seem, gained added virulence in consequence, pro-
baby, of the irritation resulting from the recent at
tempts at the introduction of the "Repeal" agita-
| ton. We cannot place implicit confidence in the
accuracy Of all the statements in the Canadian pa
pers relative to the origin of this riot; but will
| annex the version of the story as related by the
Kingston Statesman and the Kingston Chronicle
| From what we know, however, OF the character OF
the Orange party, we are inclined to believe that
the provocation came from them directly, as II did
indirectly IN their celebrating the day even in the
way of grand pubic dinner. Better abolish at
once all public displays Of religious and political
feeling which can by possibility lead TO breaches
