Dlage, anu Inc flot act WAS IInme0iaIeiy r6aa !,
on which. aided by the efforts Of the police, and
special constables the mob speedily dispersed.
"The civil and military authorities and fores
then proceeded by St. Peters square, through
High street and Hillgste, to Edge1ey, whore
they found the large Catholic chapel and the
priests house completely sacked and gutted,
and the rioters here had brought the furniture,
etc, out of the chapel and the residence, piled
it in the road, and set fire to it, The mob had
now dispersed.
| "Receiving an intimation that similar st
tack had been made on St. Michael's Roman
Catholic Chapel {near the Court -house,) the
posse went thither, and found that the furniture
had been dragged out, broken up, and some Of
it set fire to. The rioters had also attempted to-
force open large iron safe, supposed to contain
various articles of silver used in the service of
the chapel. Some portions Of patera, pyx
cover, ETC., all of silver, were picked up inside
the chapel. These were lodged in safety at the
police Office.
! g The police arrived in time to apprehend
several men in the very act of breaking and des-
| troying furniture in the chapel. Quiet was
speedily restored and number Of men and
youths, who were known to have taken part in
some Of these proceedings, apprehended Many
of these were severely wounded, and from four
o'clock in the morning till noon, four medical@
men we're more or less engaged in dressing then

ties, the Guardian continues
After the police had dispersed the mob III
the Hiligate, the Irish, in tolerably compact .
body, retreated towards Rock-row, the lower
end OF which opens upon St. Peters square. At &
the corner OF Kock-row and the square stands
large house, the residence of Mr.. Graham,
surgeon, who, we believe, has in come way in
CURED the hatred of the Roman Catholics.
They assailed this house with volleys Of stones
and brickbats, smashed many of the lower win
dows, and the servantman received a severe
wound in the forehead from stone. In this
: attack the next house, belonging to Mr.. Whites
factory, also suffered considerable injury The
mop then turned their attack upon the Sunday
+, school connected with ST. Jamess church, which
stanqs opposite to Mr.. Graham's house, and they
iiad broken some OF the windows in the building
"heh they were oyertaken by the English, who
attacked and drove them up Rock row, and
then seem to have proceeded in retaliation to,
Edgeley, Quilted the Roman Catholic chapel and
: priests house there, and thence to St. Michaers
J Catholic chapel in the Park, which they also
sacked, as already stated
Fights between small bodies of both factions
continued for some hours afterwards In these
fights one life has been taken and it is not i'm
probable that other very severe injuries may
terminate fatally. Between II and 70 o'clock,
a party OF police succeeded in capturing a stout
athletic young Irishman, Darby Scales, about
twenty-fonr or twenty five years of age, who
was said to have wounded three or four men
with pitchfork When apprehended however !,
he had received a severe fracture of the skull,
and other injuries; and, as he was evidently
dying, he was removed from the other prisoners,
and expired about quarter before O clock, on
Wednesday morning.
:" The scene that presented itself on Wednes-
day morning in the large room of the Court
house, cannot easily be described. Within
rail separating the lower end of the court from
that where justice is administered were penned
together some eighty or ninety rufainly looking
fellows, most of whom had bandages and p1as-
ters on their heads, faces, hands, arms and legs.
One, with dislocated shoulder, was yelling in
pain under the manipulation of the surgeon,
and another young man lying on the floor was
also shrieking under the pain caused by hand
ling dslocated ankle Others were moaning
md bleeding, and the whole formed a scene not
unlike that of military hospital after battle.'
Appended to the account in the Guardian, is
list of the names of the prisoners who have
been arrested, most of whom are wounded, some
of them desperately. The number is 66
The Manchester Examiner also publishes an
J extra edition, and gives the name of the dead
man as Barney McCarl The Examiner goes on
to say 60 On Monday it is stated that prepa-
, rations were made to get up sham procession,
in rldiculeo of the Catholic schools, and the efigy
of Mr.. Firth was actually made and exhibited
From several persons we heard that members
OF the Protestant Association were seen taking
part in these disgraceful acts
Several fthe special constables took an active
| part in the destruction of property ~
) During Wednesday the military remained un-
lder arms. Organized bands of English have
gone to the houses of poor Irish Catholics during
the night, and destroyed their doors and furni-
) ture. but have evaded the police
The total number of persons now in custody is
ia.
} The latest dispatch from London, night of
July 2, says
- Ine brutal and disgusting riots at Stockport
have attracted much attention, but as yet the
results of the official inquiry have not been
communicated Whether the Irish were the
originators Of the fray not, it is certain the
English mob retaliated with relentless ferocity
and there is too much reason to believe they
: were glad of an opportunity of wreaking their
| vengeance on those who offended them--not more
by their religious differences than by their COM
j, petition in the labor market"

, A BEAUTIFUL AND AFFECTING ScENE.--As the
steamer Ben Franklin passed the town Of Rising
Sun, Indiana, on Thursday last, on her way to
, louisville, with the sacred remains of Henry
Clay on board, thirty one young ladies, repre-
senting the different States of the Union, stood
} in conspicuous view on the wharf, in front of the
| crowd of citizens that had assembled All, save
one, were dressed in virgin white, their heads
covered with black wells. The one excepted
was robed in deep heavy mourning, and repre-
sented Kentucky, and occupied the centre of the
:. line. How touchingly beautiful the scene, and
what pride-sad pride-she must have felt as in
) that galaxy of beauty she found herself the re-
> preventative of that State whose broad land,
from one extreme to the other, was bedewed
with tears. The whole scene was rendered more
excessively solemn by the deathly silence that
universally prevailed on board the steamer and
; on shore, as the vessel floated noiselessly by,
, bearing its precious charge onward to it's last
repose Cincinnati Com

ANOTHER ANrI-RENT OUrRAGE.--On the 9Th
instant, gang of anti-renters, disguised as In
dians, entered Williamsport, NewYork, drove off
forty head of cattle, and fired on the owner
when he demonstrated. They were pursued by
a party of students from Williams Col lege,
oyertdken, and after few shots from each side,
