at GIOucester-NObOdy Hurt.

OTTAWA, August b. II p.m.-No disturb
| ance has as yet occurred. The Otanqemen
| have dispersed, but the Catholics numbering
over three thousand, are still on the streets in
the vicinity of st. Patrick 5 hall O1e of the
| leaders having stated that it was their inten
ton to march to the upper town aud dtmol-
lsh the residences of the prominent lnge-
men, Mayor Bangs ordered out the foot
| guards; they are under command of Colonel
| Ross, and are now stationed at the cad OF
Sussex street, awaiting orders. Speeches
were made by the Catholic leaders, some of
| whom c3unseled the crowd to act in al Or
| DERBY manner, and not fight till they wsre at
tackled, and others encouraging them to
march through the upper town and have re-
| venge for last rights proceeding. These in
| tiammatory speeches excited them, and at
one time it was thought the advice would be
| acted on. A start was really made, but the
! stones thrown as them hually succeeded in
| making the crowd alter their determination.
| The Union men are all wearing handkerchiefs
around then arms, and are armed with hard
wood sticks. They intend 10 remain on watch
| till five o'clock in the morning, d rumor hav-
| ing been set afoat that the Britons would
burn down the cathedral.
OTTAWA, August IA crowd of Union
| men paraded the lower town till daybreak.
The military were kept on duty at the bridges
until after the crowd had dispersed.
| There is not much excitement this morning,
but still further trouble is expected tonight.
l a.m.-Between twelve and one o'clock
prominent Orange leader named John Holt
ventured down Sussex street, in the vicinity
Of the Revere house, but short distance
from where the Union men are stationed,
when he was bounced upon by the mob and
| badly beaten. He escaped down Clarence
! street, and was subsequently moved to Con-
quer's station, where his wounds are being
dressed. They are OF a dangerous character.
The crowd shows no signs of dispensing.
2 a.m.-The military are now extending in
a line across Sussex street, about six blocks
from the Unionists, who are still talking
loudly among themselves. Hhe mayor went
down and promised the crowd that if they
would go home he would guarantee that no
one should disturb them, and that If any
damage was done after they left he would pay
for it himself. This was satisfactory to most
of the crowd, and Alderman Storrs, who was
one of those in charge of the Unionists, had
almost persuaded them to go home, when a
young lawyer named Kehoe, president of the
Union, told them that the mayors offer was
not worth anything, and changed the feeling
of the crowd to such an extent that they re-
fused to hear any more from the mayor and
decided to remain till daybreak. Fears are
yet entertained that they may come in COL
lision with the military.
2:30 a.m.-The Union men are still in Sus-
sex street, and are likely to remain till day
break. A gang are now marching up and
down the street with pitchtorks, singing
Wen Hang Mayor Bangs to a .Sot'' Apple
Tree. KehCe's conduct is generally con-
demned.
MONTREAL, August 14.-Tae traio con-
veying the Orange Young Brtons home from
Ottawa was fired into at Gloucester station
Several shots entered the cars, but the passen-
gers were uniDjured.
