An exciting deb to came olFin the Assem bly yesterday, on the question of'ihe address on The rebellion losses. Col.

Great Kiot, Bloodshed and Loss of Life. Our city last night was the scene of transac tions more disgraceful in their origin, more 1 odtrageous in their incidents, and more bloody in their results than any we have ever been cal led on to record. The writer of this reached the ground at hall past seven o'clock, and found the whole area in Astor Place in front of the house occupied by a dense crowd, a large number of whom immedi ately in front of the main door were shouting and endeavoring to force an entrance. lie doors were closed against every body t.u t.ic atre being already fell. The curtain rose aud the play commenced. Mr. Macrcady's appear ance was the signal for loud cries and hisses, which were overwhelmed, however, by the ap- I pJ&use with which he v\us greeted. Jhe plu} went on amid considerable contusion until near the close of the second act, when the Police in attendance, by a simultaneous movement, seiz ! handcuffed", and carried off ten or twelve of the ringleaders—after which the play went on without interruption to its close—Mr. Macrea |dy being constantly greeted with the most hearty ' applause. Outside, meantime, a play of far different kind was enacted. The crowd in attendance increased rapidly and constantly. Astor Place was densely crowded from the Bowery to Broadway, and both these streets were tilled with an immense multitude of people. Eighth street also?, above the Opera House, was crowd ed, and on every side people were assembled, as spectators of the apprehended tragedy. Find ing it impossible to effect an entrance on the Astor Place side of the house, we passed round to the stage door in Eighth street. The clamor on the Astor Place side had sensibly increased, and some stones were at this time thrown at the windows. Beaching the stage door, we found that also closed and guarded by a strong body of police. We had been there but ten or fifteen minutes when a rush of the mob was made from the Bowery side, and a number of them began to gather paving stones and hurl them at the windows of the stage part of the house. The Police went inside and barricaded the door. We crossed the street and stood among the rioters. The sidewalk and part of the street was filled with spectators. Those who took an active part i:i storming tl.c building were only fifty or eighty in number, ahd were I I good part boys. They took up stones from the street, and men among them took large flag stones and broke them in pieces, distributing thein among the mob, who hurled them at the windows in regular succession, beginning with the Bon cry end and going toward* Broadway. The blinds were all closed, hut being slight, were of course easily smashed in. This continued without interruption for some fifteen minutes, during which lime about one third of the windows on that -ide had been bro ken in. Just then, same one on the inside of ti.e building thrust through a lower window a hose pine and began to throw water upon'he mob. This was received with shouts of deri sion, and a *hower of stones was forthwith di rected against the window from which it came The assault was also renewed upon the upper windows, which were nearly all broken in. An attack was then made upon the main door on the same side. Heavy stones were taken up from the pavement, and half a dozen or more persons would go together and hurl them simul taneously against the door. Three or four dis charges of this stort burst the door in, and a call was made for a rush. Ten or fifteen per sons approached the door, and just as they hurled their missiles against it, battering it al most completely down, a side door opened and a large Police force, rushed out. seizing some of the rioters and dragging them inside, and then rushing out again in good order and forcing back the whole crowd on either side. The entire space in Eighth street, in front of the Opera House, was thus completely cleared and we accordingly went round to the Astor Place side. Here the crowd was denser than ever. The street was completely filled and the rioters immediately in front were stoning the windows and in vain endeavoring to force an entrance. The Police inside once or twice, watching their movements, rushed forth, seized their leaders and dragging them inside, commit ted them to close custody. Wc understood that a Mr. Judson, better known as " Xcd Punt line,'' was thus captured and hand-cuffed. The clamor kept up was incessant, and was fre quently varied by "cheer-* for Xcd Forrest" and groans for Maeready. At about half past nine o'clock, the tumult increasing, the doors and windows giving way, and the shouting and stoning being a their height, a diversion was created bv the approach of the military from Broadway. First appeared a company of Hussars, mounted on white horses, and riding two abreast with drawn swords, on a walk directly through the centre of the crowd—and these were followed by two divisions of Infantry—composed of the National Guards, a whole regiment under Col. Duryea, and the Governor's Guard, part of the regi ment under Col. Peers—with fixed bayonets gleaming above the heads of the surrounding crowd. They marched directly through the street, being greeted from their first appear ance with groans, and hisses, and huntings, un tii they reached the corner of the Bowery, and were turning into Eighth street when some stones were thrown at them and other demon strations of hostility eviuced. As they passed through, however, the tumult ceased. The crowd closed in behind thein, but neither the shouting nor stoning the windows was at once renewed. Their appearance had made an im pression—marked and salutary. They passed into Eighth street, and were posted to keep the space clear in front of the House, for the exit of the audience. They were drawn up in dou ble line across the street, at the other end, he hind a file of policemen. Mr. Maeready had gone through the play and been called out at its close. The door was opened and the audience came out. A demonstration made on the Astor Place side caused the door to be closed, and the in fantry marched in order from Eighth street to Broadway, (leaving the poiiee alone in charge of Eighth street,)—-down Broadway and through the crowd to the Astor Place front of the House. Here they were halted. The rioters began to pelt them with stones. Several ol the National Guard were severely wounded. The active participants in the mob were gathered in two squads, one. in the street between the troops and the Bowery, and another a little aside, be tween the troops and the dwelling house of Mr. Langdon. Two or three times in succession the troops were ordered to charge. They did so—drove back the mob, but on falling back, were instantly again hemmed in and pelted with stones. We are told on good authority, that several pistols were fired by the rioters at this time. Seeing that the men under his command were falling around him and carried away wounded, Gen. llal! reported to the Mayor the condition of things, and stated that unless the riot act were read, he would withdraw his troops. I'pon this the Recorder, Mr. Tallmadge, came forward, read the Kiot Act, and ordered the mob instantly to disperse. They did not do so, but continued their assault upon the troops, who were, thereupon ordered to fire. They fired first upon the squad between them arid the Bowery—arid immediately after upon the other crowd near Mr. Langdon's house Most of the muskets we were told, contained only blank cartridges: some, however, were loaded with ball. By this •ischarge one or two were killed and several others wounded. The noise of the firing went like an electric shock through the vast multitude congregated in the adjoining streets. F.very one seemed a tounded-—all were intensely excited—and all who had taken part m, or sympathized with the rioti-rs, were exasperated to the highest pitch. Soon one or two wounded persons were carried on shutters through Broadway to the drug store, corner of Eighth street. This added fuel to the flame. Many of the rioters seized stones in Broadway— where the pavements had been torn up to make a sewer—and rushed through Astor Plaec, and presently another volley of musketry told of their reception. After ten ot ' fifteen minutes, a third volley was fired—and the mob then mainly left the street, and gather ed in separate crowds at different points in the vicinity. After the third discharge a company of Light Artillery arrived, and were posted, a portion in Eighth street and the rest in Astor Place, can non sweeping every street. The infantry also took up position about the House, so that the whole ground was held by the-military. Of the casualties of this dreadful allair, we found it impossible, of course, amid the confu sion of the night, to procure any full and relia ble account. A Mr. Maitland, formerly a Policeman in the Seventeenth Ward, was killed instantly in the first discharge, In a musket hall through the | head. Another man, whose name wc coulu not learn, ; was shot directly through the heart. We were told his name was Jones, and that lie lived in Ninth street —but ol this we are not sure, j Mr. Lincoln, a mechanic, residing in Walker street, wa* shot through the groin and taken to j his residence. Jle will undoubtedly die. Mr. M"Kinlcy, a tailor in the Third Avenue, was shot through the breast and taken into the porterhouse, corner of Ninth street and Broad way. His wound is very severe, though there is some chance of his recovery. George Curtis, a nephew of Mr. Winchester, publisher in Ann street, was very severely wounded and taken to the Hospital. We understand that a negro woman living in a small shanty near the Bowery, was shot. An Irish woman passing through the Fourth Avenue at the time of the volley, was wounded in the knee. Mr. Putnam, a Policeman from the Seventh Ward, being stationed in tlie rear of the crowd, near Mr. Langdon's house, was severely wound . Ed in the first charge. A man, whose name we could not learn, was struck in the abdomen crosswise by a musket j ball and very severely injured. A Mr. MrDonotigh, laborer, residing in Mott street, was severely wounded. A man known as Jack Smith, who formerly kept on Oyster Saloon down town, was badly Wounded. Another person, whose name we did not learn, was soot directly through the neck, and can j scarcely recover. A young man standing in the crowd was j struc kon tfie right arm iy a musket hall, and taken to his residence, llfj Tenth street. A man was badly wounded as iie was getting into the cars ut a considerable distance from the scene. Several of the military were very seriously injured by .-tones thrown by the rioters, and Mr. Barber, of the Eirst Ward Police, had hi head very severely wounded in the same way. We understand that, besides those mentioned . above, there w ere fourtttn persons in tin- crowd, wounded mere or less severely by the firing of the military. Three attempts were made to set fire to the I building by persons inside—mainly we believe urulcr the floor of the parquette. They were all discovered, however, and at once extin guished. About thirty of the ringleaders were ; arrested, hand-cuffed, ami confmca in the Opera House during the night, that being deemed the safest place, their presence being considered partial security against the burning of the House. After the firing had ecascd and the military had firmly occupied the ground, the rioters were i scattered in squads through the streets, arming ' 1 themselves with stones, and striving to arouse the indignation of the thousands who assembled las spectators. They met, however, with hut slight success. We passed, at different times, through every part of the crowd—which could ' I not have numbered less than 25,000 persons ; • i and yet, among them all, we do not believe that j f there were more than five hundred, if there | were so many, who took an active part in the 1 ' riot; and of these nearly or quite half were boys. The presence, however, of so vast a crowd. | at once gave them audacity, and impeded tin | action of the authorities. The appearance of ; the military undoubtedly created a good deal ol feeling, even among the spectators; and their j firing among the crowd, and especially their j killing so many who were merely spectators : and some not even that, excited the minds of thousands to a great degree of exasperation, and profound regrets in the mind of every one | present. FURTHER PARTICULARS. ir. . The New York Commercial of Friday af ternoon, after giving the details of the occur- ! rentes of Thuisday night, goes on to say — i Numerous arrests were made lust night and : ; this morning. At twelve o'clock between j ; seventy and eighty were in custody. Among j them is Edward Z. C. Judson, who, we learned I i at the Mayor's office, was seized by Capt. Mil- j ler, of the police, while heading the mob and directing tliem how to proceed in their at- { tack. Many of the prisoners are mere hoys, j So far the account of our observation and j inquiries has reference to the rioters und s-uf- i ferers. The narratives trom the morning pa pers give some account of the general opera tions ot the authorities, civil and military. In | conversation with several gentlemen, some of j whom were present during the whole tune and i others from their official stations are couipe- j ; tent informants, we learn that not until the j military had been severely und frequently as- I sailed and some ( ftliem seriously injured, and i j the crisis was plainly come when the mob or j i the law was to be master, was resort bad to j powder and ball. At 2 o'clock the mayor issued a Proc'ama- I lion in which, after deploring the loss of life, j ; he declares that the peace of the city must | and shall be maintained at all hazards. TUB MKKTI.NO IN THE PAKK.—A notice was posted up in several parts of the city, calling a meeting in the Park, at 0 o'clock, on Friday, : in relation to the affair of Thursday night, and I : at thai hour there had prubably collected some I i two or three thousand persons. A platform ! bad been erected for the occasion. A Mr. | Murphy was elected to preside, and George A. j llalsev was made secretary. Edward Stra han !>ni:ih Ilynders urid Mike Walsh were | the speakers, hut though their speeches were highly inflammatory, they deprecated any fur ther disturbance, and urged the people to go quietly home. A series of resolutions were j adopted, calling on the Grand Jury to indict the Mayor, Recorder, and Shcuff; to attend , the funerals of those v.ho were killed on ! Thursday night, &c. At eight o'clock the j meeting ndjnurr.eut twenty deaths per day. On the Missouri river and a rnong 'he emigrant population the epidem ic pre vails to an alarming extent. At Cincinnati, on the 14'h, the cholera was apparently abating. So also at Lou isville. Two suspicious and fata! cases recently nocurn d at Chatltston, Va., on the (treat Kan aw >t. Four ilea'lis by Cholera have occurred at Chicago. Two cases of Cholera had occurred at Madison, Iml. The disease has also ap pea red at Patriot, Ind.

But a few days ago a (laugh ter el Mr. Fowler d ed ; now we have to record the death of the father and two sons. SNAKK HUNTING. — fhe St. Francis*ille (L.) Chronicle says : For about a week past, some few of our citizens have enjoy, eil themselves in shooting snakes, in the back water near our town. They seem to • e k refuge in the trees, where, it is sup pool, they resort to bask in the sun. They have succeeded in destroying up wards of one thousand, and they s ill txtst in abundance. They have been known to tako lodgings in some of the houses in Bayou Sara, when the occupants of the dwellings are sometimes greatly frighten ed by discovering them snugly ensconced in the heds prepared fr their own comfort and convenience. We have not yet par ticipated in the sport, but have been inform ed that it is rare fun. Religions Notice. The Rev. R.

EDITOR : Will you ire kind enough to permit the members of the 44 Martha Washing ton Temperance Society" to enquire, through | your columns, what has become of the proceeds ! of the 44 Fair," which they held about six years ago. Who has the money ? It -vus about three hundred dollars, the. interest of which by this time would be considerable. The Society in tended to purchase a house for a Temperance Hall, and there was a committee appointed for that purpose. This committee never reported to the society, and w hen interrogated on the subject, they said they had left it all to the management of some gentlemen. Now the So ciety have neither house nor funds, and respect fully ask for information. Certainly some per ' son, or persons, can give an account of the ino ! ney. It is unjust to expect that the society will ; remain any longer without adopting some means j of recovering their dues. Lcwistown, May 12, 1849 REPLY TO THE ABOVE.

"Why," said they, "he never prac ticed fifteen minutes in his life • 1 Besides he has spent years of his life as a worker on railroads, canals, and the like ; and. of course, could have no other practice but with the pick-axe and shovel, and such employment as ail rail road operators have, either as a day laborer or contractor." ek> lar as I am acquainted with this young man. 1 should •udge han to be a very illiterate, unscientific man, unac quainted with Chemistry, .inatomy. Therapeutics, or the Materia Medico, and therefore incapable of undei-!Uiiin{ the nature and cause of disease. No money would induce me tube instrumental in palming off upon the puh.c si article like S. P. Tow USE nil's. 1 am aiso satisfied that AS sick person will ever call for S. P.

Great and Good bursts from every man's lips WHO HIS once bad the fortune to use it. 4th. I w ill here again make S. P. Townsend another offer . to submit the two Sarsapariltas to the Exsiii.Cl.

Consumption, ail Female Complaints, as well as diseases common among children : and if it is not broadly and em phatically demonstrated that my Sarsapariila will cure, ST least, ten cases to his one, 1 will forfeit and pay to ANY charitable institution #SW. But if it is shown that nuue will cure ten to Ins EWE, then S. P. sha.l pay the like suia ol #SOO, IN like manner. 1 will give him one year to UISW up his mind, though I am confident he will never go mti ihe trial, as lie shamefully bncaed out of a similar one ONLY a few months ago. The truth is, my Original sarsapsr... Is so much better than his, aud is gaining so rap.dly on TH public, that he is becoming alarmed, and resorts to tire shaiuetu! and wicked cour-c of traducing, fstls\fy>*{- and abusing me, in hue, rulgar language, although t never laid A straw in his way. or lilted a finger to his it jury in my life.. I therefore leave this whole matter WITH the public, and let thcia decide on w hose back should pinned, "1 ricks of a vguack" — his ot mine. JACOB TOWNSENIX 102 Nassau street.
