The GREAT RIoTIN LoNDoN.-The London
journals of the 24th and 2ath Of July give
full particulars of the reform riots in Hyde
Park, London-the first intelligence Of which
was received here by the Atlantic cable, last
week. We have already described the origin
Of the disturbance, namely, an order issued
ON the 18th ultlno by Sir Richard Mayne,
Com missioner of Police in London, forbidding
the use Of Hyde. Park for mass, meeting
called by the Reform. League, which order
was defed by the officers, s,ot the League, who
insisted upon the right Of the people to meet
10 public park. :, 3
On Monday evening, July 20, accordingly,
d large procession was formed: aud marched
towards Hyde Park in an orderly manner.
Around the park on mmonse crowd Of spec.
tators hadsassemhled, e,gates had been
closed by order,of Sir Richard Mayne, and a
strong force,of :mountedspolice was on duty
within the enclosure. The procession did not
enter the park, but>the populace,indignant at
their exclusion, madca sudden sweep against
the irH ratings, wrenched them from their
fastepings, tore down one whole side, and
then swept into the park in tremendous
tide, 10 which the police coud'oppose OILY a
feeble resistance. Then body OF the Life
Guards came up and charged the crowd.
The mounted police and the military together
made many arrests, and thepoople were hrai'
" dispersed.

Againstthis conclusion it may be alleged

this 10 he So, it does not affect the title to the
slaves. A bankrupi's effects are in the hands
of his assignee, at the instance of the bank

does not render the assignee liable to pay

no fault of his. The possession of the mort
gager was the possession of the mortgasee; !;
and he who owns property, when it Is des-
troyed, should lse its value. 49,
But it may be further urged that the mort
eager could have sold the slaves in his pos.
session, and have paid the deut at any time
during the last seven years. Not having
doue SO, and the negroes being destroyed in
his hand, as properly, he should make good
the bond out of lis other property. He was
guilty Of aches, and should not escape the
consequences Of his own default.
