There was fierce fighting all night The
police made several savage charges, but were
repelled by the enraged populace with sticks
and shower of missiles. AT one time the
crowd obtained so completely the upper hand
that the police were driven into the barracks.
THE POLICE BEsrEeED IN THE BARRACKS.
"A perfect bombardment of stones was then
kept up by the people, who smashed all the
windows. After some delay the police force
In the barracks obtained reinforcements and
charged the crowd with desperate fury. Z.
HURLED BACK INTO THE BARRACKS.
The rioters became perfectly reckless with
rage, and threw themselves upon the assail-
ants. A haud-to-hand fight ensued, the up
shot of which was that the police were driven
back into the barracks.
THE CROWD BROKEN UP AT LAST.
Again and again they sailed, but with the
same result until at last by one grand effort
they literally beat way for themselves and
broke the crowd up.
A HOUSE sTORMED.
During the melee which followed an iron
bar was thrown at the police from public
house CAVERN at the corner Of Queen street,

police constables thereupon stormed the
house, broke the doors and captured the
inmates, whom they belabored with savage
blows.

Tae mob made desperate attempt to rescue
the prisoners, and battle ensued, during
which the house was battered and half de-
stroyed The rioters threw themselves with
frantic rage upon the police, without being
able to deliver their friends. g-

stations and in their cells sang seditious songs
throughout. The night.
THE WOUNDED.
The excitement is very great and is still
increasing. It cannot yet be stated with any
thing like certainty how many persons have
been wounded and whether any have been
killed. The report is that half of the police
men engaged in the fight have been more or
less severely injured. The police station is
smeared with the blood of the wounded.

The troops were day and night under arms,
;but did not interfere, as the authorities were
appreheusive that terrible slaughter would
.be the consequence.

Only twenty-seven of the rioters have been
arrested. Eight rioters arrested yesterday
we're sentenced to-day to three and four
months imprisonment.
