land on the day of the royal wedding
was sadly clouded by the events which
occurred on Tuesday evening. Seven
lives were lost, and one hundred per-
sons sustained fractures of the limbs on
Tuesday evening.
1t appears, from the best accounts
we have been able to gather, that the
loss of life occurred chiefly in the vicin-
ity of Fleet and Mansion House streets.
The meagre police force in attendance
was utterly incompetent to control the
movements of she crowd or make a
way for the passage of the engines
An attempt was made to persuade the
people TO walk upon one side of the
street, and down on the other, but
stream after stream of men, women and
children kept pouring in each direction
AT last they were scarcely able to move,
and suddenly, female namod Phoebe
Crystal, about forty Eve years of age,
was forced down, and another woman
named Charlotte Donovan, with her
husband and little child, fell over her.
The three persons, and also the child,
could be seen lying on the ground and
struggling violently, but to stop the
populace appeared impossible. The
child was held up and was received by
some one in a passing omnibus, and
was thereby saved.
AT this moment a cab horse fell at
the side of Mrs. Crystal, and as he fell
he plunged, dasbing one of his forelegs
against her skull, and killing her in
stsntly. After great exertions the
three PROSTATE persons were finally re-
moved to Bow Lane police station.
The two women died Immediately, and
the man is fatally injured. A small
boy was soon afterwards knocked
down, receiving compound fracture
OF the kneejoint by the incessant
trampling of the crowd upon him. A
woman had three bones broken, and one
George Denis had his back and both
arms crushed. All these accidents
happened within q short distance Of
each other.
"A young woman, dressed in mourn
ing, was knocked down and crushed to
death in harrington street. Her name
was Mitchell. Another woman named
Harding was killed before she could be
takrn from under the feet of the mob.
Another female, making the fourth al
this portion of the road, was also forced
down. when taken to the hospital, was
found To be dead. The body remains
to be identified. A vast number of
persons with crushed ribs and contu-
slons were received into ST. Bartholo
news Hospital, and it took the whole
staff to attend to the injuries. In the
Borough several persons were severely
injured in attempting to cross the road.
Achild, named Bradley, was crushed
to death in its mothers arms i'm the
fearful crowd. The mother, who re.
sides at No. Oak Lane, Limehouse,
brought the child into the city; where
they were both severely crushed. Upon
her way home she was Mortified to find
that the child was dead.
There were many casualties from
pressure during the afternoon and eve.
ming, besides those which resulted in
death. The Times notes the following
amongst them: An unfortunate boy
named William Harvey, nine years OF
age, living in New street, Hackney, re.
ceived injuries near the triumphal arch
at London bridge, which rendered
necessary the amputation Of leg and
hand at Guys Hospital, to which he
had been removed, and where he now
hes in precarious condition. About
the same place, Harriet Church, resid
ing in Lisson Grove, had her leg brok
On, and man fell from a van, breaking
seven of his ribs. They were both
taken to Guys Hospital Ann Hawks
residing in Winsor street, Islington
was crushed i'm the crowd in Mansion
House street, and taken inseDsible to
St. Bartholomew hospital. John Nc
Pherson, residing in Norton road, Ken
fish Town, fell in Upper Thames street
and broke his leg He also was con
veyed to Guys Hospital. Between
twenty aud thirty people, with scalE
wounds, broken legs and arms, dislo
Gated shoulders and the like, were taker
to St. Partholomew's hospital in the
course OF the night, and received the
attentions of Mr.. Ludlow, the house
surgeon. Five of them remained al
patients in the institution, and tie res!
were conveyed to their homes.
RIOTS IN IRELAND.
From Cork and Dublin, too, we get
news of actual riots attendant upon the
wedding festivities. The following is
an authentic narrative of the scenes
which occurred in Cork on Tuesday,
About ten O'Clock in the evening a
stone was hurled at the windows of a
chemist, in Winthrop street, which was
Immediately followed by several others,
breaking a quantity of glass. When
the crash of the windows was heard,
the crowd set up cheer, which drew
the constabulary towards them. AT
their approach they were assailsd with
stones and sticks and groans given for
them. Stone throwing contin1inr. the
police charged and cleared the street al
the point Of the bayonet, in doing
which several persona were knocked
dswn in the rush and injured.
When driven out of Winthrop stree,
the mob ran on to Pembroke street
where they took mp position opposite
the Commercial Hotel, and stretched
from the Hibern;an, on the one hand
TO the Pcstofiee on the other. Here
