THE LIBERAL TRIUMPH - MUSIC &c. IN THE STREETS.
On Thursday night, several bands paraded the streets, playing music in celebration of the Liberal Triumph and the accession of Mr. Gladstone to power. The Liberals of Trinity Ward had a band which after passinbg through several of the streets, went into the ALBERT HOTEL, in Ribbleton Lane. Soon after getting into the place, their harmony was disturbed by the appearance of a large piece of brick sent through one of the windows at them.
Afterwards, the band went in the direction of Wellington Mill, and on the road, some Tory roughs made an attack upon the drum, and kicked in one of the ends of it.
