The IIIoIh in .Utc York.
Wjiting hit week, until a late hour, to gfit tha
irtit'uiais of t'n; above proceedings, we finally
wwnt to press unintentionally, wilhuut saying a
word upon the subject. A disgraceful scene of
rioi and bloodshed occurred in that city, on the
evening of thu 10th inst., which terminated in the
death of tome twenty-five persons, who were shot
down in tha crowd hy the cowardly imprudence
nf the municipal authorities, who had called oui
tha Military to quell the riot, and preserve the
pe.ace. The act of firing buck-shot and ball, even
by authority, aad without duo warning, into the
ranks ol a promiscuous assembly, by which men,
women and children weie alike instantly killed,
seems to he such an oulrage as to call forlh the
most uiitjuallified disapprobation of every intel
ligent person.
The cause- of all this trouble it would appear
had ua origin in a personal difficulty betwixt
ForrtH and McCrtady, the rst an American
and the laKt an English Actor a small potatoe
affair at most. Passing thn wrong it is painful to
record such eviilroces of the effects of excited
passion, and the feeling of sorrow is heightened
when we reflect that so light and trivial a eausc
produced such tragic and melanrholly results
Kverlasling shame must rest upon New 'ork,that
the private fend of two individuals should have
been suflcred to tan the elements of public, dis
cord into a flame, and sleep in sorrow so many
u tin inn and innocent hearM.
Public indignation, and a wise regard for hit,
own personal safety, has driven McCready, from
New York, never to return egain, since when
neace and order have been restored. The loss of
many dear friends however has created a void in
the lamily circle, whir, neither time nor space
raa restore, and the blot po n the fame of that
coy w ill retrain a momnr.ent of deep disgrace to
I l:o folly of the inhabitants of the Commercial
Emporium. May such scenes of fanatical fury
never again soil the eicutchcon of our country.

of Inquest came in Monday ftight with the follow
ing verdict : that under Ihe circumstances, they
believed the deaths caused by gun shot wounds
on the right of Thursday; the 10th inst , were
justifiable: but, had a larger police force been on
the ground, in 1 heir opinion the lotis of lite iniil.l
lidt's been avoided.

Whether the Administration of Oen. Tax lor
will prove a tragedy, a cuuieJyor a farce, cannot
as yet be said with certainty. But from present
appearances, we imagine, that to the whige it
will prove a tragedy, to the Dcmocrutie Party
a comedy and to Ihe world a jarcc llecause it
will be the death of the w logs, the reinstation of
the Democrats in power, and a laughing stock to
tha world. So'far as Pennsylvania is concerned,
if the President hearkens any more to small Hill
Johnston, Old Zack will have but ft w friends in
the next delegation fiom this stale.
We do not think it over happened that two ad

broke themselves dowo ip the intimation of an in
