A very serious and fatal riot has taken place in the county Down, at a village called Crossagar, on St. Patrick's day. It appears that a number of Roman Catholics imprudentlv resolved upon having pro- cession on that day. The P lace of rendez- Vous fixed upon was Crossgar. The Orange party resolved to meet there also, and op- pose the Roman Catholics. About 5000 of the processionists assembled at Crossgar, the place of rendezvous previousl y arranged upon. On their attempting to go up street called "Kilyleagh street" the opposite par ty, we believe Orangemen, mustered pretty strong, and declared that "up that street they should not go."
 A party of police were drawn up at the entrance of the street in question, in order 10 prevent collision, which, unhappily, with all the ohorts of the magistrates, had not the desired effect Stones were resort ed to with great violence on both sides. The police came in for their share, until at length firearms were discharged-we could not ascertain from what quarter first. Mir. Anketeh, one of the magistrates in attend ance, then read the riot act, immediately a1ter which one ot the party III the process sion advanced from the ranks, and drove the muzzle of gun against his breast, giv- ing him a severe thrust. The struggle was now between the Ribbonmen and the po- lice; firing on both sides ensued, and the result was that policeman, named Burke, from Newtonbredad district was shot through the neck and instantly expired.
 A woman named Ann Woods, from Bel fast, who had a stall in the street, also received gunshot wound, and died shortly after A man named Smyth, who was merely looking on at the time, and took no part in the procession, has been mortally wounded, and is in dying state. Several of the police and country people are more or less injured from the effect of slugs. A countryman has been conveyed to the mfr mary badly wounded.

TIE GOVERNMENT JEwELs-DIsCuARGE OF THE TWO JoNsEs.-The N. Y. Herald of the 10th inst. has the following curious statement in regard to this subject:
 Some very curious developments are about being brought to light respecting that notorious individual, Jim WebH, and the government jewels. Soon after the arrest of MT. Webb, we predicted that the jewels would be recovered, and such we now find to be the case. It appears that about a week since Webb was taken from the city prison and conveyed to Washington, where an indictment was procured against his (Webb's) accomplice, Tom Hand; Webb was then released from custody on his pa7'ole dh0nReur, in order to finish up deep laid scheme respecting the possessors of the jewels. To effect this object, Mr.. Webb returned to this city oil "Wednesday last, and took lodgings at one of our fash ionable hotels in Broadway, under the as- sumed name of J. Watts. The next day CThursday9 according to his pledged faith to the Washington authorities, and to cer- tain other parties, MT. Webb caused the arrest of the two Jonses, and, in the posses sion of one of them, the remnant of the stolen jewels was found, they having been deposited with him by a female, since the >arrest of Webb and Hand, who are in fact the guilty parties, After the recovery off the property, and the two Jonses were con- signed to the Tombs, sumptuous dinner was prepared at the hotel for the successful parties, consisting of some of our judicial officers, a few invited guests, together with the "lion" of the whole affair, Mir. James Webb alias J. Watts, who tossed off his bottle of champagne and cracked his jokes with as much aoachalance as the best man in the party, believing, of course, that the government would have to foot the bill. There is something very strange in this whole business; and how the government have loaned themselves in ehecting this compromise with MT. Webb, is really unac- countabe We learned from good author- ty last evening, that the two Jonses have been liberated from custody, and were seen at their store, in Ann st., during yesterday."I
