the * Custom-house and oa the quaysv ; and at fonv o'clock the Rev . Hugh Hanna , a Protestant minister , appeared on the scene , mounted ai-rostmmt erected for- him , and began to address the cn > w < J . Me Clarke J . P ., asked him , as a reasonable- mao , whether it was politic to . preack ? . He answered that , un & sa forbiddea ta doso , h * was determined , to proceed frith ; bis discourse ^ Mru . Clark declined to prohibit him ; bat Mr . Coates , another justice » £ the peace , said he would hold him responsible foe the consequences that might ensue . "The reverend gentleman then , went on- with his address . ; but , in . a very short time , there came a heavy shower of sfcones > -wliicht ¦ was immediately aaswered , and the . fighting at one * became general . A great many shipwrights , armed / vrith .
bludgeons , joined in the fray . The Catholic mob was at ? length defeated , and fled ;; but they were pursued by the Protestants , and were savagely ill-treated . The police came up and separated the combatant * , bat many persons not at all concerned in the fight had already been seriously injured . The mob in sonw places ^ later in the day , had stoaes piled up at the sides of the streets , and accidental passers-by were- mercilessly pelted . Mr . Hanna continued preaching for some time unmolested , aud , having- concluded , he observed tbafe he had vindicated a great right , and hoped his auditory would- gohome peaceably , and ' submit to insult or-injury rather than retaliate . ' Many of them-followed' this advice ; but in the evening , and in another locality , the riot was .
resumed . A young man was seized , held by the neck , and beaten cm the head with paving « -stoa < 8 till he was nearly dead . Women busied themselves , in breaking 1 bricks and carrying stones for the combatants , and . in one > plaee it is said shots were exchanged . As the driver * of cars went by ^ they-were stop ped , and wer e turned back or allowed to proceed in- accordance as tbeir answers- -were- unsatisfactory of the reverse . The raa . - gisirates at length-made their appearance en the scene , and one of them < Mt . Stevensen ) was soon rather badly -wounded over the left eyebrow -with a stone , while- Mr . Veraer received a cut on the- head . The Riot Act was then read ; the police were ordered to- load ; intimation was given to-tha- mo-b that preparations were being made
for firing ; and in a few more minutes the order was passed to ' eap , ' and ! then to fire ; and the file-firing- at on « e commenced , Several of the mob were serioasly wounded . It is . also asserted that some of the rioters ¦ were- shot dfcad by the police at night in self-defence . Nine-Roman-Catholic prisoners were examined by the magistrates on the- following day , and '( with the exception of one , who -was discharged for want of sufficient evidence ) , were sent to gaol for two months * with the option of a fine of forty shillings . The gan cluV continues to meet , and to organize resistance- should its members-be attacked by the Orange party . They assert , however , that they do nob intend to inaugurate any attack on the Protestants .

The trip was a most delightful one , and Lord Eosse personally explained the processes of grinding and polishing specula .

Ferrukh Khao , the Persian envoy at Paris , hia first councillor of embassy , and bis private secretary , have been recived as freemascais ia the Sincere Amilie , a lodge of the Grand Orient of France ., . General "Walain-Esterliazj ' , who gained all his grades in Algeria , and who took part in tb _ e campaign of the Crimea , expired a few days back at Marseilles , where he had been staying for some time in ill-health . The . French- papers are filled with details of the Indian insurrection and of the camp at Chalons . The particulars given by them of the latter are thus summarized by the Tivies Paris correspondent : — " The Emperor ' s , head-quartars are . established on an eminence commanding the camp , and facing the north-west . Three wooden chalets have been erected tlaere ; the centre oae contains the Emperor ' s private apartments ,, the two others dining and drawing rooms . Two double nuts have been fitted up for guests .. Other hvuts , in the rear of these , comprise a printing establishment , telegraph office , kitchen , stables for two hundred horses , storehouses for forage , lodgings for servants , & c . All the buildings are raised one metre above the earth , are of .
elegant appearance , and very comfortable . Between tire two lines which they form are the tents of aides-de-camp and orderly officers , and of the soldiers attached to their particular service . Groups of fix-trees give a shady and agreeable aspect to the collections of buildings , which are arranged in a quadrilateral form , two hundred and fifty metres wide and one hundred ; and fifty deep . The head-quarters of General Kegnault de St . Jean d'Angely who officiates as Major-General , are about ! half a mile to the right of those of the Emperor . The camp , "which fronts the Imperial head-quarters , is an irregular polygon ; with protruding , and' receding angles ; on three sides it is bounded by small rivers . On the right of the camp , and in the vicinity of water for the horses , the Artillery
and General Morris ' s three brigades of Cavalry have established themselves . In rear of the Artillery of the Guard are some Artillery and Engineers of tie . Line , the waggon-train , the slaughter-bouses ,, & c . Each tent contains ten infantry rojen or eight cavalry soldiers . The Generals , with their aides-de-camp and stafi ^ encamp in rear of the troops under their command . In front of the lines of soldiers' tents are rows of huts for kitchens , and in front of these are mess hu . ta for the officers , who take their meals together , on thfr English system . In rear of the centre of each division is a hospital hut ,
making up one hundred beds , finally , a railroad , nearly sixteen miles long , and which will have been constructed in less than two months and a half , will shortly connect the camp with the Great Eastern line . Theusualtrains of camp followers , sutlers , and deulers in drink are , of course , already gathered , together in the vicinity of this great military rendezvous . The French soldier , true to his habit of finding a nickname for everything , lias already conferred on the principal assemblnge of these itinerant shops the unflattering epithet of Coquinville . The old Crimean amusement of amateur theatricals is
revived at tbo Cbulons camp . " The manoeuvres at the Chalons camp commenced on Monday , when all went off well , with the exception of two artillerymen being wounded by a rammer Uriven out by the premature discharge of a cannon . The accounts of the harvest are excellent , aud exceed all expectations . Tho Jndependancc Beige has been seized at the postoffice , on account of an article on the Bltreausc Arabes . M . Adolphe JiWUI , son of tho Minister , waa seized witlv a . giddinoss on Tuesday afternoon while driving bis tilbury in , the Champs Elysc ' , and' fell out of tho vehicle .
