119 nminly for the use of the young, it would not be profitable or desirable to dwell upon the scenes of tumult and violence which unhappily took place. It is enough to mention that in Hai'bour Main one life was lost, and that in St. John's, during the suppression of a riot by the military,, who were called out, three persons were killed and several wounded. Harbour Grace was also the scene of serious disturbances. The fact that for more than twenty years afterwards no similar scenes occurred a...t elections, may be hopefully regarded as a proof that a better spirit is prevailing, and that old animosities will gradually be forgotten. NOTES AND EXPLANATIONS.— CHAPTER XIII. Commereial Panic of 1815-17. — The sufferings of the people during the oonuuercial disasters which followed the close of the French war, in 1815, aggravated as they were by three successive conflagrations in St. John's, were terrible.
