ried off Carriages containing ladies
were stopped on the street and occupants
forced to alight, when some OF the rioters
entered the carriages and drove at the
head OF the crowd. The mob swept
through the streets shouting, "Swash the
windows.n
One jeweler named Orchard says that
watches end jcwelry valued at $500 were
stolen from his shop.
The residences OF Lord Manners and
Lord Gainesborough were attacked and
all the windows smashed. All decently
attired people who encountered the
rioters were maltrcatcd, the wearcrs Of
silk hats meeting with particularly rough
usage. Lord Randolph Churchill APP
peared ut a window of tbs Carlton club
building when the mob reached there and
he was loudly hooted and menSced with
clenched fists.

Burns, Hydmau, Williams, and Champion,
The last named of whom is an eS-captain
Of artillery, will probably be prosecuted

in Portland, South Audley, and oxford

MORE NOTING YESTERDAY.
LoNDoN. Feb. ., 2 y. Tears are
entertained that the riots OF yesterday
will be renewed to-day. This was natur-
ally 10 be expected, when the Immunity
enjoyed 10y the mob In Its work OF de-
struction yesterday Is considered. In
anticipation of another demonstration to.
day small crowds OF roughs have been
pouring iuto Trafalgar square from dif-
ferunt points in the city, aud az this hour
the crowd assembled there numbers fully
5000. None OF the leaders, however, have
made theirappearance as yet, and whether
any programme has been determined ON
for another outbreak IL not known.
West End to-day wears u holiday app
pearance, aud general feeling Of alarm
and insecurity Is felt among the residents
of that quarter and most OF the shops
are closed.
No instructions have been given
TO the police as TO what course
TO pursue in the event Of any
further outrages by the mob, and
the shopkeepers feel that they are en-
tirely unguarded against pillage aud the
destruction of property, and, though it
Is well known who the leaders OF the
mob were, no arrests have been made.
Tradesmen propose TO send petition 10
the home Office demanding that they be
afforded protection from the depreciation
of the mob.
BY 5 O'Clock the mob at Trafalgar
square was estimated TO be 10, 000strong,
and the majority Of this great throng Is
composed OF loaiers aud roughs OF the
worst class Large numbers Of police
are present, but their efforts 10 control
the turbulence of the mob have 80 far
proved unavaillug. They have been I'M
able TO clear the street, and traffic IL
for the time brought to stand
still. The spirit OF the mob
to-day is distinctly aggressive and
the mob at present Is simply tremen-
dous mass Of undirected human sayages
Nothing but the want of some popular
leader prevents the mob from excrtlng It's
strength In some organized movement
which might bring about most disastrous
results During the afternoon tho%poiice
charged the mob twice in full force for
the purpose OF breaking II up aud driving
the fragments from Trafalgar square, hut
both efforts were absolutely futile. The
police could not surround Il or becalm II,
and each failure OF the police was greeted
by the vast assemblage with cheers and
yells.
At this hour the rioters are getting en-
ragged at the frequent repetition OF police
hostility, and the temper OF the mob is
perceptibly rising. Thousands Of men
are pouring down to the scene. aud all
the pavements in the vicinity OF Trafalgar
square are lined with excited men
The increasing gravity Of the situstion
finally alarmed the authorities, and they
put forth all energies 70 suppress the In
cipient riot. The police on duty at Ira
falgar square were enormously Increased,
and will prepare for 8 well,dcfiuod and
exhaustive assault. This resulted in
pushing the mob into the side streets,
thus splitting 1t up, when the police fol-
lowed up the work and drove each frag-
ment of the broken mob na.!l !ts elements
were driven into Che alleyways and by
ways of the town. Every precauiion has
been taken to prevent reassemblages OF
the mob. Many rioters have been ar
rested, and some Of them have been fined
and discharged; Others have been re-
handed for trial, while q number have
been sentenced to Imprisonment for varl-
Gus terms, ranging from one 10 six
months.
