House, sticks, stoiics and every other kind Of
missile was thrown, and several were severely

bleeding he relieved him. On Monday morning,

feet shower on the Fame. A number of brick
bats during the melee were flung in the store Of
Messrs. Alderdice K Son, and Bye x Connard.
The Fame members were again driven from the
carriage, and possession taken of il by Messrss

On Monday at dinner time, the Fame Hose
bell was sounded, when expecting riot, the
Mayor accompanied BY the police hurried to the
Fame Hose House, and guarded IL for the space
of mn hour or two.
Warrants wcr issued for the arrest of tile
most prominent engaged in the aflray. Two of
the rioters have been arrested and held 10 bail
in the sum Of $500 each, to answer the charge
at the next term ofconrt, and $500 each to keep

law. This riOtous spirit must be crushed In the
bud.
