There i.-J something unaccountably otrantre ru the news frum Dubiirj, of a whole night's lihlin Ltwocn the pulice and the oiub; and oi' tho police t being repeatedly driven to their bar-: va:k9. There arc troops at the Pigeon House barrack, troops at the Park, , and troop at the Castle, in Dublin; : and why the puiice, strong xi tlnry arc j in numbers, efficiency and di.sci piine, ; hhould be permitted to fight a mob for j nj long a tiiuo and meet so many re- . pulses without the military being : called out, is the unaccountable part jf the matlei1.
