Correspondence of The Cecil Nhig.l
The Warwick Riot.

1.-TWO weeks ago we received Il letter from
Warwick giving an account of the attack
made by a party Of Irish on the store Of Mr.
7. L. Jump. The crowd ofwork incident to
the election prevented us from printing it
then, but the main portions of it are given
bclow.-Ep.]
A party of Irish, about twenty-five or
thirty in number on their return from the
Catholic Church, where they had been to in
ter a deceased comradc, stopped at Mr.
Jumps store and two or three went in to
make some purchases. After buying what
they wanted, they went to window at which
one of the ladies of Mr.. is family was stand
ing, and made use of ito herr some very in
decent language They W ere ordered to
leave, but instead Of complying they went
liquor, which Mr.. j. denied them. They
and upon his requesting them 10 stop or get
out of the store las there were ladies' dealing
at the time they swore it was free country
and they would talk and act as they pleased.
Nj. j. finding that it was necessary either to
put them out, or have the ladies driver out
by them took hold of one to put him out,
wien tte tHICc llialc TCSiStanCc, one Vi lucll
striking at him with a stick. Mr.. Hayes,
(thc clerk } seeing they were about to over
power Mr.. j. FASTENED to his assistance,
striking one with pair Of steps in the store
(not with 2 ID. weight, as stated finally
succeeded in getting them out and closing the
door, when the whole party Of Irish made a
general assault upon the house, throwing
shovcls. pitch. forks, hatchcts, stones, fence
rails and clubs of all descriptions through
the windows, shouting as only such vasa-
bonds can shout: "kil the d-n s-n Of Il
BIB :" "murder the d-n know nothing"
'tear down the d-n establishment, 'hur-
rah for the bloody Irish and Holy Catholic
Church, :" down with the d-n American"
&c, and would have murdered the whole
family, no doubt, had not the citizens ran to
their assistance. Nor did they give way I'M
til fire arms were brought but fought most
savagcly. Several of them were severely in
,iured but none moraily. The next morn
ing one of the party was found dead about
two hundred yards from the store, over
whose body a jury of twcnty-tour men held
an Inquest, but finding no marks OF violence
sufficient to cause death, rendered their vcr-
dict -" DEATH from dru"hca"eSs aM eL-

pcarancc of man having died IN drunken
convulson. The same man said to several
others, with myself, on the night of the riot
''hc was not hurt but only drunk Mctricd
to get him to go home but he said he was too
drunk to walk. SO we left him for the night,
and he was found dead next morning, bc-

he knew the American Chemist, DR.. J. G.

ticularly the Cherry Pcctoral) are in general
use in the cities of South America, they arc
the most prevalent representations of Amcri-
