Killed Threatening State Of Affairs.
As we have before mentioned, says
the New York Herald of Tuesday, the
Irish laborers employed by the con-
tractors for the Atlantic Dock Works,
South Brooklin, struck some time since
for higher wages, and Limitation Of
working hours. The contractors refu
sed 10 accede to the rates demanded,
and employed Germans instead of the
Irish. About FIVE hundred Ger ans
are now at work there. An attack
having been threatened by the Irish,
the troops were called out last Salur-
day evening, and occupied the ground
until three O'clock, on Sunday morn
ing. They then withdrew and on
, Sunday night, as report goes, Ger
man was shot near the works b. sorae
unknown person, supposed TO be an
Irish laborer. The troops were again
ordered out yesterday morning, 10 pro-
tect the Germans. We visited the
scene of action in the afternoon, and
found that the Sheriff was there, with
an assembled posse Of about one huh
dred and fifty men. The military force
consists Of the Union Blues, Captain
Goodchild, mastering 40 men; the CT
ty guard, Captain Olney, 80 men; the
FuIsiler guard, (AHal'ery) Captain
Dillon, % men, and two field pieces;
and the Columbia Rifemen, Captain
Mowison, 35 men; besides a party
of U. S. troops upon Governors Island,
who are kept under arms, and ready to
proceed to the ground at moments
notice. There are also present, Ma
jor- General Underhill and staff, and
Colonel Quivedo, with the officers Of
his brigade under his command.
For the rioters to oppose such a
force would be madness, and it is
doubtful whether they will make any
attack until the military are withdrawn.
Crowds ofthem are, however, gathsred
in the yiciaity of the troops, cursing
and swearing at them, Kissing and
groaning, calling them "-Yan-
KEGS" and "--cowardS, who would
run, if they saw the British coming"
The military bear it all with becoming
fortitude and patience, preserving the
most commendable discipline. They
were to occupy the ground all last
night under arms.
From the New York Express.
During all of yesterday, %e military
and police were out in force sufficient
to deter the Irish from an attack on
the Germans. The mos, noisy of the
Irish were the woman, who kept up
the courage ofthe lords by language
not the most refined, but very forciblc.
The efficient measures of the Sheriff
will no doubt, proven, more trouble,
as the first symptoms of no, will cause
the arrest of enough to satisfy the mob
that forcible resistance by them is
hopeless.
HALF-pAsT NINE O'clock, +. NJ.
The city of BROOKLYN was perfectly
quiet. General Underhlll, with the SOL
diery and police under his command,
promises the utmost protection TO the
German laborers now employed about
the Atlantic Dock.
Spain.- Since the exile of Esparte-
70, this unhappy country has been The
worst governed in Europe, and her
difficulties will be likely to continue
until the recall of this able statesman
and warrior. The Queen though de-
clared to be of age in her royal charac-
ter, is not yet sixteen. She came TO-
the throne on the death of her father
Ferdinand VII. in 1883, before She
was three years of age, and her
mother was, by the will of the KING
declared Regent, which charge she
was, in an unfortunate hour for SPAN,
compelled TO abandon in September,
1S40. She is the daughter Of France
|. late King of,he Two Sicilies, broW
or OF ferdinand H., the present h'hg,
and sister of the famous Duchess OF
Berry, the mother of the Duke of Bot
deaux, the legitimate claimant of the
French throne. The late Regent was
charged with promoting the interest OF
these powers rather than that of Spain.
She is, however, an able woman, and
conducted the government with great
spirit, in opposition to Don Casios,
brother of Ferdinand VII, who main
tanned his right by virtue Of the Salic;
law, which excludes females. She
was, however, forced TO abandon her
daughter, and Espartero, the ablest ruler
