Yesterday they kept pretty well to their own part oi the town. The villagers fired a number ol shots into the thick of the Italian mob with old muskets. It is thought that one or two of them wero fatally shot, but aa they will not allow anv one from the village pro|ier to approach them no. definite information on this point can be obtained. The tight is now between the villagers and nivvies, the latter being eifrmgel because tin former saved O'Brien, the contractor m l employer, when they wore taking him out of tho village to the commons and threatening to shoot him if he did not pay thdiu the wages due. A small company of volunteer* is now parading the town and it i9 likely a company of militia will ba sent to Tamworth if mattors do not quiet down before night Contraotor O'Brien will probably get money to pay the navvies to■lay.

All the papers declare that the address is too good to bo lost among the rack of matter printed in the newspapers, and express the hope that it will be published in permanent form.
