FRACAS BETWEEN SOLDIERS AND CIVILIANS.

On Saturday night a fracas occurred in Newtownards between some soldiers of the 75th Regiment and civilians. A few nights ago a corporal of the 75th Regiment had received some abuse from a party of civilians, for which his comrades determined to be revenged. A party numbering about a dozen went to Mr. Magill's public house to see if they could find any of the parties who had beaten their corporal. One of them knocked down a countryman who was preparing to go home. This was taken for a signal by the others, who prepared for fighting, and charged down Frances Street yelling and cursing. In a short time the town from end to end was in an uproar. Captain G.R. Hamilton, J.P, and Sub-Inspector T.J.N. Robertson, put themselves at the Head the police force and turned out. The row swept like a wave down the street, and when the police interfered they were attacked and beaten by the soldiers. Daniel McAvoy was cut about the head and face very severely, and a man named Matthew Bennett was followed into a public house, where he had run for refuge, and cut on the head in several places. Several other civilians are badly injured. When the excitement was at its height, one of the soldiers cried out, "Come on, boys; we are the Irish Brigade;" and this appears to give the affair a party tinge. But for the timely interference by the police and the picket, a riot of a serious character would doubtless have ensued. Two privates named Brennan and Flynn are under arrest for participation in the row. At one o'clock on Sunday morning everything was quiet.
