mense crowds ot partisans were carefully
kept out of range, and were prepared to

moving the wounded. Tho sides were
equally divided. The moon shone brightly
throughout the contest.
Tho Orangemen admit that one of their
men named McFarlane, was killed and two
others named Smith and Johnson were
mortally wounded; also, that thero wore
numerous minor casualties on their side.
They olaitn they killed and wounded
many Catholics, but the latter deny that
they sustained serious losses.
Many houses were riddled by bullets.

batants shifted ground.

had been twice read, the troops charged
upon the crowde and cleared the Btreets
temporarily.
An old man and two women, in
mates of a house on Conway

fired, were arrested. They stated that

ot Treadwell's protest, assembled the Chi

this aristocratic Meronrv waa received with
that formality his courtly bearing seamed

he wonld call again when ahe was. Often,
on returning to Grameroy Park or Grey-

No better illustration of the influence that
the Southern Uauty excited over Mr. Ttl-
