The Riots in Belfast, Ireland.

An eye witness OF the riots gives the fol-
lowing description of the scenes attending
the mob's attacks on the Bowers hill po-
lice station:
Women with pokers pried up paving
stones and broke them into suitable sizes
for the rioters. Women and young girls
desperately ehtreated the men to continue
the fighting whenever they tagged, and
when entreaty failed drove the men on
with savage threats. The police station is
a moderate -sizeo dwelling house. When
the mob attacked the building the police
responded with volley fired from the
doorway. But the rioters soon drove the
officers in, and they retreated up stairs,
and thence maintained the fight on their
side by shooting from the windows OF the
second floor. They held their position for
half hour, during which the battle
was hot and savage on both sides,
when they were reinforced by the arrival
of seventy fresh Officers. The increased
energy OF the police warfare served
to aggravate the mob. They were mad
dened by the sight OF their comrades shot
down. | have since heard officers say that
they never knew a mob TO show greater
viciousness violence pluck ard determi-
nation. The rioters hurled their missiles
with regularity and precision, as if they
had been drilled in stone thro wing. When
the men in front exhausted the ammuni-
tion they would retire TO the rear to receive
fresh armfuls from the women, and thus
make way for their comrades with new
supplies. The better armed of the rioters
carried Belfast kidneys. These are
stones about 81 inches long 80 inches
broad, and weigh on an average about IL
pounds. There were many boys among
the rioters, apd they were as desperate
and plucky as the men. The battle at the
station ceased only when $50 soldiers
came to the aid of the police. The soldiers
soon drove the mob away. A waitress
belonging to tavern near the Bowers Hill
police station was shot through the brain.
A bar maid named Kelly was shot through
the head.

Gen. gibbons Address at West Point.

At the graduating exercises at West
Point Military Academy on the 18th inst,
Secretary OF war Endicott occupied
the seat of honor, with Generals Sheridan
and Merritt on either side. Gen. Merritt
introduced Brig Gen. Gibbon. who made
the principal address:
1t abounded in recollections OF his cadet
life and the pranks he used to play. He
never considered harmless professional
"develing' injurious. He referred to his
classmates as he knew them here and again
in after life. Fancy, il you can the scene.
Ii sorcerer had suddenly appeared and
announced his intention OF distributing be-
forehand the prizes OF the future to the
then cadets, fancy him placing his
hand on the shoulder OF Fitz
John Porter and saying. you will be
the great military martyr OF your age.
Alter rising to the highest rank in the army
by distinguished gallantry, you will be
stricken down by heartless calumny, dis
missed in disgrace from the service and
made to suffer years OF agony and shame.
But don't hang your head. Remember
that truth is mighty and will prevail; that
YOU live in free, Just country and when the
light OF truth shall illuminate the page OF
history and show the true character OF your
actions and the vile means used to destroy
you, your countrymen will do you justice;
and remember, above all things, that one
who is acquitted by the deliberate iudg-
ment OF Il Grant, Schofield. a Terry and
q Getty can we'll afford to stand up against
the charges OF any accuser. One cannot hut
be struck with the way in which the dice
box OF fate has denied all representations
formed here.

credited and disabled. All this

ful OF members not Irish. Now they ap-
proach ninety, and are entitled to say,

subject by half measures, They are strong

which brought 313 members TO vote for
their country, strongest OF all in the sense

done our part, the rest remains for you.

made the reports were handed back
to Mr.. Blair with instructions to have
them considered by the committee.
