According to the Liverpool Standard, the Irish have been quarrelling amongst themselves at Liverpool; but from our contemporary's version of the affair, we are inclined to doubt this intrinsically very improbable circumstance. That narrative states that the row apparently originated as follows:—
"An Orangeman complained that a Papist boy had thrown some dirt at him."
Orangemen never complain groundlessly of Papist boys, and Papist boys never throw dirt—either literally or figuratively. Dirt!—how are they to come by it? Who ever saw or smelt any such thing as dirt in any the most remote connexion with a "Papist boy?"
