Rev. Mr.. Hay, an American missionary
to India, with his wife, who succeeded in
escaping from Alahabad, were at South
ampton, where they arrived in the Ripon
steamer. The Rev. gentleman preached
at two Of Ike leading dissenting chapels IN
Sunday the 9Th inst. They were about TO
return to New York
The Marquis of Dalhousie is said, by the
press, to have set noble example, by plac-
ing the whole of his pension of is 900 per
annum, conferred upon HIM by the East
India Company, at the disposition of the
London Committee, for the aid OF the suf-
ferers from the Indian rebellion.
Particulars are received of the religious
riots previously reported to have ken place
in Belfast on the 9Th inst 1t seems that
while Rev. Hugh Hanna was delivering a
temperate evangelical address, in the open
air, to a congregation of some 5000 or g.
600 people, first one whistle than another
in different direction were heard, where
upon the crowd Immediately divided, each
party taking its own side. The Belfast
Mercury thus describes the scene that en-
sued
GA volley of stones came from the par
ty next the dock, accompanied by cheer,
which was answered, and in less time than
it takes us to narrate it, the conflicting par
ties were fighting. Those next the docks
gave way, pursued by men who, it after
wards appeared, we've principally ship
wrights, hrandishing wooden bludgeons
used in their trade. The fighting portion
of the mob went up Donegal quay, and,
in a short time afterwards, about forty young
men and boys ran into the ship yards at
the quay, from which they speedily return
ed with a further supply of the weapons
already noticed. In the meantime, their
opponents were reinforced, and came tow
ards the scene of action, driving the stray
glers before them, in no very tender mode,
when conflict ensued which ended in
their retreat in all directions. The treat
ment some men then received was dread
full. When the Catholic mob sought safety
in flight, they were knocked down in all
directions, and brutally treated. One man
especially received such abuse that. If he
survives, it may be said mans skull can
resist anything. The belligerents again
went up the quay, but were stopped about
Gamble street by the Constabulary, under
Sub Inspector Bindon. The two parties
were then separated, and woe to the UNI
happy man, whether Catholic or Protest
ant, whose business or pleasure left him
within the power of either mob. Many In
nocent persons of both sides, who knew
nothing of the disturbance, have been tee
sufferers, and it will be well if loss of life
does not result from the brutality of these
miscreahts.''
During the night the riots were renewed
and the constabulary being obliged, in self
defence, to fire on the mob, one young man
was killed aud several others badly wound
ed. All was quiet on Monday morning
A large number of rioters were arrested
and promptly punished.
