III Derry Riots.-The following details
= the rioting in Derry 10 taken from the
knssxa Je9rn0I. st
xne Bishops Gate riot was the most
fsranidable disturbance which took place
sedag the day. On the Catholic procession
SeRg refused admission, the members COM
4A9ag 1t made q most determined and
AAcsng dash to force their way through the
80, and literally threw themselves upon
80 Sayonets Of the Royal Irish Constabu-
1.N, and it is the universal opinion that
10y would have effected their object had
g NOT been, for the charge of the carbineers.
s0ne ct the flags was destroyed in the
eAA<gc. In the evening the city presented
q soeoe of intense excitement, which, IN
1saxe Instances, eliminated in serious
dseurbance. From three o'clock till eight
90 approaches to the bridge were crowded
nth people, and several hand to hand
Ekats took place. A serious riot, however,
which might have terminated fatally from
Hhe reckless use of firearms, occurred on
Alse bridge. A party of the Apprentice
Boys were returning from seeing the Cole
EAine friends away at the Northern COun
Ties Terminus. They encountered num-
Der of Roman Catholics going from the
city to Muff Glen. An immediate collision
sensued. The riot lasted for some time,
mad firearms were rather freely and in
.Esscyimiaately used. At length the Catho-
Tic party succeeded in driving back their
ssepenents, who took shelter in house of
LIZ James Buchanan, which they barri-
scARed. Several panes in this house and
esae adjoining it were broken. party of
epDastabulary suppressed this riot, aud also
ttoasS a number of prisoners, one of whom,
Ge0Ee Kelly by name, was stabbed in two
uaaoee. In the meantime matters on the
Garlisle road presented n disquieting APP
ReMance, more. particularly that portion
q sfse road adjoining the bridge, where the
yLayor and Capt. Keogh were present Our
rTcy resident magistrate made the most
scxe.wuous exertions to induce the people

I'd The party of the Apprentice Boys
svf,a had taken refuge in Mr.. Bnchanan's
.sp1,iiel, through messenger, for an escort

rsErfrty carbineers We're dispatched, with q
Eeoay OF police, to guard them. At the toll
syase they were met by an opposing mob
Netting took place until the escort anu the
agusrded men had proceeded up the Carlisle
csnd some distance, when groaning was in
s7uyred in which was answered by an OPP
F,osation party on Ferry quay gate. The
sgeaning shortly assumed the form OF stone
throwing at the escorted men, the police
and the cavalry. 1t became so serious that
Cant. Neogh was obliged to wheel the party
xmslsx. his command, and, under n perfect
shower of stones, led them down the road.
Tic carbineers charged the mob, who had
sarued up Hawkins street. Several per-
sons we've injured in this encounter, but
um,e of them, we are glad to say, danger
sasiy. After this, matters in this neigh
bos-.,ood became more quiet, although at
lnSsrv ais during the evening stone throw
nx and numerous encounters took place IN
knCaiities between the toll-gate ana the
e7tv walls. In this locality u trivial occur
Reace gave rise to a commotion among the
ues,5tle which might have resulted seriously

ssf those had words with member of the
Riserxan Band, while passing the PUBLIC
Mnuaa. The civilian referred to, whose
uxzre we are unable to discover, retaliated

fsar sosne time looked most threatening, a
wong man named Mclaughlin was badly
Wcxeae& through the effects OF a stab. AT
che e-silway stations also, on the departure
If tine seseral trains, there was much hand
% I,aad fighting. The real cause of the
disturbance was the extraordinary order
issne& to permit one party to enter the city
and keep out the other at the point of the
RaSesaet. The feeling in the city and
ncaShborhood could not be worse. Bott
Bax1ies are much embittered, and unless
the s,aost active measures are taken baG
wurk snay be safely anticipated. 1t is i'm
Vosssible to find out the number of persons

no exaggeration to say that at least fifty
R1en aud boys have been injured. They
