Tho colored portion of the militia also turned out, and acquitted themselves with much credit-In fact, It was to them a gala day, wbtch tboy Uilod wltj deljgUt, that they might the bettor show they were ever ready to turn out at their Sovereigns cajb-and to protect her Crown and dignity against foreign foes as far as in them lay. There seemed to bo but one feel-. ing animating them all, and that was gratitude to tho flag that had secured to them Oeedonj in ev cry quarter of tho globo. Tho training over, each aptaln procured re freshments for his men, and after tho refreshments wcro over, there followed a riot of a very serious nature. As to how that riot originated we will not pretend to say, as we know nothing farther than hearsay ; but dame rumor has it that while tho whites and colored men were on drill, some of the former hooted and blew at the latter, and that after it was over tho officer in ccniuiand highly complimented the colored men for their appear ance and demeanor. Some of the white men it is thought were jealous of this, and again commen ccd blowing at the blacks, when one of them Sung a stono at a white man, and this started tho row. This took placo near the negro village The intruders were then drivon off, and thoy re tired for a reinforcement. In the mean ti mo an other row commenced in a different part of the town, where it is said a white man buried a negro from the fenco on which ho was sitting, the negro hero got some of his friends to assist him, and they followed, as they supposed the offender, in to Francis Stinson's tavern, but they mistook their man, and full upon persons not engaged in the af fair at all, beating them badly. Tho negroes wcro soon repulsed from this, and they then retreated to their own village, where they assembled in full ilco to defend themselves in case of an attack. During fhl4 timo ,omo wilv knave got up a report that two ot' Jhc firemen had been killed by tho blacks. This baiV' l00K i ,or no ooner was tho news heard in town ttin tho flieinon proceedod to tho supposed scene of iiirghter, and without making inquiry, It is said somo oi'.'hcm commen ced throwing stones at the negro domiciles, which was returned by the Inmates, who had a quality of missiles prepared for the occasion. In this way, we aro told, the row was kopt up until the color ed people were obliged to take rofugo in the woods their homes were completly demolished, and the nero village is now ono mass of ruin. inrr.AND-rviCTi::r3 in galway,- ; the Gilay papers are full of the most deplo rable accounts of wholesalo evictions, or rather exterminations, iu that miserable County, .

As the steamship City of Manchester was com ing np tho bay yostorday afternoon, she was visi ted by an accident of a very serious character, and ono which would havo beon, but for the prompt ness of the officers of the ship, still more serious and fatal in its results. It seems that abqut fire o'clock in the afternoon, the bar-keeper went be low into tho spirit room, to draw some liquor, and tho cock being hard to turn, ho struck it with his foot to get it free, when the light which he held In his haud was thrown down by the shock. Tho spirit by this timo was gushing freely from the cask, and in an instant tho room was enveloped in flames. Bqfoi e tho poor bar-koepercquld ruako hiscscapo.he was shockingly and fatally burned. Ono of tho stewards also was bnrued very badly It is supposed that in addition to tbo external in juries of the two unfortunate men, they were hurt internally by breathing the flaming vapor. A fire annihilator being promptly in use, tho flame was subdued, and this with a small stream of wa tor from one of tbo engines, entirely extinguished tho fire. It is thought the valuable cargo of the steamer Is but Httle-injured either by firo or wa ter, if damaged ft all.
