that the proceedings which took place on Saturday
night, and which were in some measure renewed on
Sunday night, originated from feeling of spleen
entertained by the soldiers Of the Ninety first
towards the police. The circumstances of Satur-
day night shortly before 10 o'clock two soldiers of

passing up lslington, both in state Of ntoxicaton.
Their conduct was most outrageous. They knocked
down, or pushed into the street, every passenger
whom they met on the footwalk. Police officer 54l

hind them for some time, but ddnot wish to NEEDLE
with them, as there was no other officer to assist
him. AT last, when they got to the corner of st.
Anne street, their conduct became so violent that
the officer felt compelled to interfere, and be went

SECOND EDITION.
From the attacks made upon the police by the
soldiers of the 9lst regiment, Saturday and Sun
amicable feeling existed between the men of the
respective forces. The apprehension by the police
oftwo or three soldiers, who had been guilty most
unJustiiiable and unwarrantable outrages against
unofendiDg civilians, and also upon the police them
selves, seems to have provoked very strong spirit Of
revenge in the bosoms of their companions in arms
and, accordingly last night, some Of the principal
thoroughfares OF Liverpool were made the scene OF
one Of the most serious riots which has for some
time taken place in this town, of which consider
able body Of the soldiers Of the 9lst regiment was
the cause. The apprehension of one or TWO of their
felow-sodiers seems to have given deep offence to
the men OF the regiment, and as if to wipe of the
disgrace, many Of them were heard to say that last
night would not pass over without policeman's
blood being split. With view Of carrying out
their threat, considerable number of them met in
MIR. Heague's public house, in Dale street. Shortly
before o'clock, they issued into the street, and
were there Joined by other soldiers. Thew no
sooner got into the street than they proceeded in
a body towards officer 4l9, (Duggan,) who was on
duty IN Dale street, and having unfas,encd their
cross belts, they made a furious attack with them
upon this officer, wounding him severely about
the head and body that he was considered in
very great danger at late hour last night. They
then rushed in body up Shawsbrow, attack

the police, and they mustered in great sorce
IN Byron street, Shaw'sbrow, and the neighbor-
hoed; After the police had mustered they saw

did not attempt rescue, but this, we believe was

been sent to Superintendent Towerson, at Rose
Hill, OF the serious nature Of the riot he nj once
ordered out q strong body Of men, and the result
was the capture of no less than twenty-five of the
Rose Hill brdewe and booked for the Offence. In
many ins tan,es the soldiers had their side arms,
and attempted to use them; and the attention OF
Mr.. Towerson and his men was, in the first in
staIee, directed to dsarming those men who had
bayonets.- Some soldiers brought to Rose Hill

they were not booked for want Of evidence. Not
