riot at Dongannon Sunday many of
the police were wounded and their
ranks were several times broken.
They finally fired buckshot into the

| fromrevolvers and showers ofstones,
many of the rioters almost rushing
on the points of the bayonets in the
eagerness of their attack. Subse-
quently volley of balls was fired

buckshot and received a bullet in
the abdomen, from the effects of

A Dublin dispatch to the Times
says that in consequence of the
statement of Mr.. Foster, chief sec
retary for Ireland that thou
sand marines would be quartered in
Mayo, attention will be eagerly
directed thither tor some time to
come. Some sort of confirmation
will be lent TO the rumors that the
government expected an insurrec-
ton among the peasantry. The ma
rines in that case will act as substi-
tutes for peace, preservation, and
law, and save the government the
humiliation of appealing to parlia-
ment for special powers. There
have, however, been no open indi-
cations of any intended disturbances,
and to most people here the notion
of rising seems highly absurd.
