Life in Quiet and Orderly Canada.-
We find the following in one Of the Mon
treai papers, which ia so often mortified
with the exhibition of the "Lynch law" IN
the United Slates:-
An ARRAY took place lately ut the Brigh-
ton (Sussex) races, between the police and
a large party of the 7th Hussars, who were
so long quartercd in this city. 1t seems
that one Of the men had been cheated. and
afterwards beaten, by a party of those Fas-
Gals called "thimb'erIggers.' The SOL
diery determined to ayenge this injury to
their comrade, by driving these fellows from
the course. Whilst doing this they were
attacked BY the police force, and a fnri-
GUS fight took place between them. Our
old friends, the Hussars, gave the police a
very good thrashing for their offcious in.

them right. The police. as they often are,
were doubtless III league with the rogues,
or the gambling tables Of these fellows
would not have been allowed 10 remain on
the course, US they are strictly illegal.
One Of. the sergeant. ma jors had bis head
severely cut, but we believe the principa.
share of the blows came to the sconces Of
