RIOTING IN BELGIUM. Immense Destruction of Property. [REUTER'S TELEGRAM.] Brussels,. March 19th.
Serious rioting occurred at Liege yesterday on tho occasion of a demonstration of Socialists, agitators, and unemployed labourers. A number of windows were smashed, and shops ransacked and pillaged of their contents. A large force of gend'armerie endeavoured to quell the outbreak, and charged the mob several times, eventually cowing the rioters, and making over a hundred arrests. The amount of damage done cannot be estimated yet, but it is known to be immense.
