The Riot at St. Johns, N. B.-The St.
Johns forming News of the 18th contains
the full particulars Of the late Riot in that city
by which ten lives were lost, and a number o:
persons wounded The riot occurred on the
10Th of July, day commemorated by the Or
angemen in memory of the landing of the
Prince of Orange in England and the Battle
of Boyne A number of Orangemen came to
the city from the upper country with banners
and embIems, 10 march through the streets in
procession. Some of the party were armed
with muskets, doubtless anticipating distur-
hance. The procession started about O'Clock.
Some persons of opposite feelings had erected
a green arch across York Point, so that the
Orangemen would either be obliged to pass
under or demoish the structure, which would
be the signal Of war. The procession passed
under without disturbing the arch.
The Mayor proceeded to the place, and in
attempting to have the arch removed, was
s7tNck in the back Of the head, and otherwise
severely handled and he came over 70 the city
bleeding The procession finally passed along
the point, when an excitement was created
stones and pistol shots we're fired several per-
sons were wounded, but none MORALLY. With
the exception of this sklrmish the procession
crossed the bridge unmoested The author-
ties now interfered, and company OF so men
was marched up from the barracks, and sta
toned on the platform, where ball cartridges
were served out. II does not appear, howev-
er, that the military fired shot. On the re-
turn ofthe procession, and when near Rankin's
Bakery, number of guns were fired upwards
of fifty shots at least were heard-which re-
suited in some ten or dozen persons being
killed Immediately, and many more wounded
The shots were fired into the Orangemen, and
by the Orangemen again into the crowd-bu
whence came the first shot we could not learn
A scene of death ensued too horrible to seen
like reality for civilized city like St. Johns
1t is impossible now to get correct Statement
of the number of deaths. A person of vera
city, however, informs us that he saw ter
corpses himself Some say there were at leas
twelve killed but we put the number down a
ten.
