The Pee, in reply to some remark. of the Go_ zellt% in defence of Gen. Taylor and ha admit:air tration against the assaults of that pa , deals is the lanai quantity of ribaldry and 601 assertion. A few hems only are worthyot notice. The editor says that--“hundreds •nd hundreds of Whip, ultra, bitter, partisan Whigs, were kept in ofgeo during the ndaiiniatrauou of President Polk'! Where were these Whigs They surely were not in this State, nor within the knowledge of any one in these pans. We denf the assertion, and sat Inc the evidence. The statement is so direct• ly contrary to all the facts w hich have ever come to our knowledge, and to the whole course of the administration, and to the principles of the Loca l= party, that it requlrea proof to make it pass current It bears the stamp of counterfeit coin. got hear the Post again : "In fact, one half of those who filled places in the various departments at Washington, were uncompromising Whip of the Hamiltonian Fed eral stamp." Tide is another assertion destitute of the least &oxidation. That some.few Whip were retained in clerkship at Washington, we admit, but that one btd or one fourth, or even one fifth were Whip, we deny. All doubtful, neutral persona, of any polities, or no politics, are classed, by the Lo cos, as Whip, in order to hide their own most glaring and shameless proscription. The Washington correspondent of the Balti more Patriot sates that an officer in one of the De partments has handed him it • statement, which he • says a Locoloco Committee made out last Sep. comber, when they felt certain that Can and Bat• ler would be efected, of the political complexion of all the employees of the it avernment in Wash ington, in order to spot what Whip there might be, for decapitation. The Committee reported the names of '742 Loeofocos and 163 Whip. This Ia probably as near the truth as can be ar rived at. Out of these '742 Loci:dec., how many have been rem owed by the Whig nitruntmtration A reader who had listened only to the wafflings of the "Union" and of the "Post," would suppose one bait had been swept of at least—how will he be astonished to learn that there hod only been fif tam removals i 6 Washington, all told' It is au stated by the .correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot.

Taylor :7 4Mo "it has been the brandoig pas. miaow" of the 'Whig pang that have sought °Mee's, and that the " toorit of these brawlers have been the most successful." The only persooal knowledge we have of the appointments, are the Postmasters in this city and Allegheny. Whether they better sun our deaorip tam of "moderate, upright Bien," or the Peat's, of the .worst of brawlers," we leave the commetuty, in which they have hoed for the last thirty years, to judge. Aa far as our information eltends, the appointments partake of a like moderate chore,- tar.

S.--Friday moraing.—The end of this horrid morel has at list been attained, and the city qui led, after the lives of 15 citizens were sacrificed ad a large number wounded. At an early hour ad night, the city began to be alarmed by the mustering of troops, which it was at once interred vete called oat to quell any riot that might occur. At'sax o'clock, two col:opal:dot of cavalry, ploy of hussars, and the 7th Regiment of Infantry, were under arms, waiting the commands of the Storni' of the County. Thousands of people were yen pressing their way to the Astor Place Opera, nod by half past seven, ten thousand people were collected in the Squares around. The Opera House was tilled with theventleman who had invited Mr. Maeready to play, and their friends, and by an im mense body of police. The windows were boarded opined all the entrances to the :mime closed, with asmuch care wi thoughan attack wee feared from au army, Which would spare neither age nor sex. The play was gone through with entire, amid in teryuptions, the tenor of which can only be known brthose shut up from the fury of the mob.

Asmften as the troops appeared they were attack. ed 'Uy the mob., which pelted them and seriously Injured a large number. To give the audience a chance to• esdipe, a line of troops was formed, tWough which 'ley passed and mingled with the crowd, thas escaping their fury. After the aue.• ience had gone, the mob directed their attention to the destrUction of the building, around which had than gathered a dense mass of people, filling Astor Piece, Broadway, Bth street and the Bowery at. molit to suffocation. The tops of the houses near, and all the windows, were filled with spectators, MMMWMMI Tlie mob pressing against the house with greet violence, and making the most determined effort to burn it. 114 seventh regiment were ordered learn Eighth street to the front on Astor Place. They were followed by • crowd which packed the street, making dense mass from house to !inure, on either side. In front were the Sheriff of the • • County, the Mayne, god the city officers, end the Chief of the Pollee...with the Staff of the Seventh. The excitement of the mob at this hour (quarter past ten) was 'Mite height. The Ho*, were pelted and fired into by the mob, and it at once became evident that the lives of the authorities or of the mob must be the penalty. The peace bikers ware on the alert and used all possible quiet mans to both the crowd with no effect. An a last resort, the riot act was read, and the troops ordered to load.

LETTER VI. I have stated that the mode of treating cholera, deerditcd in the preceding letters. if timely, skillfully, and 'vigorously employed, will cure the disease in every instance. What I mean by timely employed, is any time before the disease has earned the patient into collapse. When the serous, or watery part of the blood, all, or nearly all, escapes into the stomach and bowels, the remain lag crassamentum, or fibrinous part of the blood, becomes too crude to circulate. The pulse then ceased to be felt at the wrist, and the body becomes as cold as ice, communicating to the touch a, sense of coldness never felt in the human body under any other circumstances, whether dead or alive. This - - - is called the collapse stage. Nom, after the disease has arrived at this stage, hule good can be effected by medicine. The recoveries from this stage are to be chiefly attributed to the vis tnedieertx mm terra. This is not a mere assertion. It has been proven; I have seen more instances of recovery from collapse in persons who utterly refused to take any medicine whatever daring the whole course of the disease:than 1 have witnessed co those who had been teemed by the popular reme dies. These were persoaaiif peculiar habits of hody—thin, leen, emaciated habits , with lade fibrine or crassamentum In their blood. The greet advantage which Mesas person; enjoyed, in this case, from the tenuity of their blood, was, that the heart, arteries, sinuses, and lungs, did not became obstructed by the masses of fibrin° which obstruct the circulation in the collapse stage in those or more robust habits, nada( more healthy bodies and Sounder constitutions. I have been called in, on P' _Mg, to see an emaciated old woman, lying on a truss datum, on a cold damp earthen door, her body . and features collapaed, clammy and cold an a mass of ice, with scarcely any covering over her, and with not a vestigoof a pulse to be felt at the wrist, Of any part of the estnemitte. She was urged with intense burning thfM4 and, with her hoarse stridulous voice she cried Incessantly for cold water, which was no so , nerswallowed than it was rejected from the stomach. This tam crea ture I could no persuade to take any medicine; but I directed hot substances to be applied round the body and extremetiet, and to allow her urgent dean, for cold water to be gratified. On pruning next day I had the extreme gratification to find her out of danger, her poise full, sod, and regular; the natural heat of the laxly restored; the veins full, and the countenance and hands restored to their neutral appearance. Such instances as this, in both sexes have frequently come under my ob servation; but more frequently in the case ot old women than in men of the same age. I think it right here to meth that ; from the nature of the &P -ease, no person of a robust, corpulent habit of body could recover nom collapse. Let no exertions therefore, be spared to arrest the progress atlas disease, before It arrive at this stage. The cramps in the collapse stage of cholera are truly frightful, and the pain produced by them in most excruciating. The cause of cramps in this stage is different from that which excites them at the commencement of tile shwa.; I mean before purging has commenced. I have already stated that cramps. at the commencement of an attack, are indicative of its mildness. Trey prove that the brain and nerves are not so extensively para. lyeed as they are in the more malignant firm of the disease. This can be made more intelligible to the reader by illustration. When a certain amount of iritation is applied to a nerve, all the muscles with which that nerve commuaicates be come cramped, and more or leas pruned. Increase that injury, however, so as to destroy all sensibility in the nerve, and all those symptoms and effects cease. In like manner, when the brain and nerves are originally, but partially paralysed nod impair ed in their energy, this will manifest itself in the milder firm and character of the symptoms. The 'cramps in this case, while they prove that the - the brain is the original sent of attack, and that its functional powers have been dtaturbed, also prove by their existence, that its total energies hove not been completely overthrown In the collapse stage, however, the cramps do not arise simply from the primary exciting cause; but from the shock which the brain has sustained from the suds den vascular depletion which has taken place; as we see exemplified in animals which have been bled to death, which generally die convulsed.— The brain, being suddenly deprived of the . packing and bracing support given to it by the blood see its power, and, from that loss of power, a bole in as (10PIIRand over the voluntary fattest., and these arasMes to conaequenees, exert their uncon trolled contracting pow-r in the way we we OWir do in the leaflet cramps which occur in the col lapse stage of this disease. That the cramps in the collapse stage are produced by this canoe is clearly proven by the result Men accidental ea.: periment, which occurred in a case which shall he , described in this letter. With these preliminary observations I proceed to slate that, though remedial means &earl little in this stage ofeholere. it Is still eves here, the duty ofthe practitioner to give his patient every chance 1 of:recovery which his skill affords. From what has already been stated in this and to the peen& tog kneels the reader will perceive that the indi canoes of tare, in this stage, are to restore the en ergy of the brain and nerves, as far an this is now practicable, and to re-fill the depleted circulating vessels. The accomplishment of these objects can , beeffected only by the means already directed in the primary stages. The same medicines and cor dial stimulants may he here given for a firm dine with equal freedom, as they were directed to be administered le the primary sieges The only eh jection to this is, that patients who die in ibis atsge for reasons formerly stmad.generally die comatose, or, in other words, sleep away, as it is called, so that if a large dose of opium were given, and the patient were to..die, as it is most likely he would, his friends or relations might naturally suppose that the large dose of opium had caused him to niece the sleep of death. la treating this stage of the disease, the circumstance referred Mahwald be explained to the friends of the patient before any medicine be given. For the reason mat mated, I always, in such cases, try the effects of four of the antspasmodic phi, and the draught, with the cor dial stimulants, fors first dose, sell I see tithes and the other remedies are likely to prove succeasful, when it necessary, a little more may be given. la this stage however, the fluids having been already denied off there it seldom any, or, et least, 'much purging, so that four of the pale will be generally sufficient; as they, and the other medicines and cordial stimulants. are ordered here with a view chiefly to restore the tone end energy of the bruin and nerves The second indication of cure, in this stage of cholera, namely, to re-all the deple• led circulating vessels, can, an formerly stated, he accomplshed only through the agency of the ate. sorbent vessels opening on the internal surfaces.— The grand agent, and the only one, which we have at command here, an in the primary stages for exciting those absorbents into vigorous action, is perepiratton, produced by the application of ex. ternal heat, as formerly directed; and this agent will hen again cause the absorbents to accomplish the object desired in reifilling the depleted areule tiug vessels, evert in the collapse stage of cholera, bet the patient, notwithstanding, will die, unless Ithr recovery be Savored by such u habit of body as 1 have described above. No patient with any other habit of body can recover out of collapse in cholera. For though, through the moans directed,' the depleted circulating vessels may, and will. if It be tried,be completely refilled, still, tithe patient be of a robust corpulent habit of body, such fibrin ous obstructions and congestions will have occur red as will assuredly prove fatal; and the medical art affords no mesas for removing these. These fact. have been so thoroughly eatablished, that they enable me to faretel. with certainty, what will be the result of my efforts for the recovery of a pa-' bent from the collapse stage of cholera. To prove that the depleted circulating vessels I 'can be effectually re-filled by the combined agen cy of penetration and drink, I shall now stele a caws, which might rather be called an experiment, though an accidental one. A man, aged forty-revers, of a thin spare habit of body, was wised with violent symptoms ot Cho lera, at three o'clock, a. m. I was called to hint at eight the same morning. On enterlng the bourse, I bend him screaming from the violence of the cramps. I found hie extremities quite sold and liv• id; his pulse scarcely perceptible at the wrist, small, ilatieriag, and very irregular, his countenance ghastly; his fare and hands of a livid - colour, and the skin of the latter shrivelled and corrugated.—lie had incessant purging and vomitiogof a fluid near ly as clear as water, with -an insatiable desire for I drink. He was so weak and exhausted as to be unable to get out of bed. I had tae body and ex. tremities immediately surrouridea with jars nod bot tles of hot water, bags of hot salt, and hot brieka, and, three minutes afterwards, I gave him a suits. his drew of the antispasmodic pills and draught, which I cauned him to wash down with o glass of hot punch. The beat was gratifying to hi.a, and wherever a cramp seised him be begged that some thing hot might be applied. During this process I directed my attention particularly to the pulse. Al. ter the heat had been thoroughly applied, and the pills and the hot punch bad been administered, the pulse became gradually more distinct and full, and, at the same time, improved in strength and regu larity. Oa referring to notes taken et the time, 1 and that, al thetend of fifteen minutes after the plication of the external heat, and about twelve minutes after the administration of the medicines and hot peach, the cramps had cotitely ceased The pulse was then pretty fall, and of tolerable strength and regularity; the countenance had be come more lull and natural; and the hands leas shrivelled; the temperature of the body and extre mities, which ram with the pulse, had ;Mired at the natural' sholdard; and a profuse peMpitation is sued from every part.—The - pntleslexpressed him self completely relieved.' I then gave him a large draught as much as he desired, of warm whey, of senors he had been drinking previously to toy arri. rel.

Accordingly, or entering the house, I again heard bismieN and was met by his friends, who, in despair, told me that he was cramped worse than ever, though they bad strictly followed my directions in keeping op the heat, and In refusing to comply with his desire for drink, which was urgent. Though an accidental experimeat,it was Gee very important endemics:is, I was mxious, therefore, to note down, with accu racy, every particular. Hie face and hands, which before were livid, were then of a crimsons hue, the prommencee on these parts were sharp, and the de preasions were hollow; the akin seemed to be stick. mg to the bones; without any apparent intervening substance; the course of the veins was marked by hollow lines; the body and extremities had become almost dry, and, on touching them, their morbid beat and parched state communicated to the hand a very unpleasant sensation; the respirations were quick, with great anxiety and pain in the region of the heart; and the thirst was most urgent. There had been no discharge from either stomach or bow els after the medicines had been administered. The pulse at the wrist was felt like the ticking of a watch, at intervals of a few seconder, fluttering very quick,and presenting to the finger a degree of small ness similar to that of a very fine needle. Keeping my finger placed on the pulse, I ordered the patient to drink warm toast-water, ad radium- The rapid. ay with which the drink was absorbed, and the sudden effect produced on the pulse by it, were very remarkahle, not a minute having elapsed eller it was swallowed till I felt a preceptible change.— The intervals between the flutteriuga of the pulse became gradually shorter and less perceptible. As the pulse became fuller, it become more and more disiinet, till it bounded frill and strong. The veins filled In the same proportion till they became dis tended like d's. The breathing became natural, and the pain rbout the heart ceased. The cramps then disapped, and a profuse perspiration again issued from e ery part of the body. This all 0c ,.. curred in the course of eleven minutes; and the patient m that time drank above a gallon of fatal. As the vascular system filled up, the complexion improved, till it heroine nearly natural, but rather florid. The external heat was gradually removed, the temperature of the body was reduced to the natural standard and the patient felt free from every complaint. lie was convalescent the next day, though weak; and he was walking about on the fourth day. .. . . . . This accidental osperimant proves that the amps in the oollapse stage, ate caused by the vascular depletion. It also shows how rapidly the drink is carried into the circulating vessels, when the action of the absorbents is excited by perspiration. When patients in the collapse stage of Cholera urgently crave cold water for drink, their desire I in this respect should be gratified. At the same time a little sweet epiriui of nitre should be added to the cold water, as it proves very grateful to them, and, in some instances, produces salutary effects. When the collapse stage is treated in the way I have directed, however. the patient's desire for cold water soon ceases, and he relishes hot drinks best. Suinulaung etubrocations, so much lauded as a remedy to the collapse stage of Cholera. never did good, however injurious they may have proved. Neither did frictions, so much recommended in this stage, ever do any good, but always a great deal of mischief. They annoyed the patient; they excited vomiting, even if it did not previously ex. Ist; they increased hie restlessness, exhausted his remaintog strength, and humped his death. filler the patient has been completely rallied from the cold collapse stage by the means which I have directed, and after the depleted circulating vessels have been throogbly re-filled, should a tendency to coma manifest itself, with symptoms of congestion in the brain, along the course of the spine, or in the Maga which, if the patient be more or less of a corpulent, robust habit of body, will assuredly be the case in a greater or less degree, in one or other, or, it may be, in all of these re spects, the effects of ecanfications and capping may be tried, at the nope of the neck, between the ehottlders, or along the courie of the spine, or as may be con venteut to wherever the Seal of linger is indicated. Where the come to profound. how ever, the eyes suffused and lard in their rockets, with the pupils contracted tool insensible to the stimulus of !into. there to no use in teeming the patient wen remedies no patent ever did, or ever will recover under lin en vircuenstwarept. What is called consecutive fever to this disease never ocrurs unless the patient has either gone in to colloppe, ur appoached very near to it. In no instance dues it occur unless there have been con siderable watery diecearges from the bowels. Thu fever is roused by the congestions which take ' pleoe in dtt/erent you.* of tn., body; and tome die of it, oiler ns v tog apparently escaped all the h.ir• roes a the disease.

In the consecutive stage, give rise to tonlammattorts of the brain, stomach, bowel*, or other organs.— Should such tottommations occur, they will be best treated by otttpisms, fornentations, and local bleedings with leeches followed by blistering; if necessary. I have often seen a violent mercurial tever, which had bern produced by enormous quantities of calomel, which had been improperly administered in the treatment of a mild attack of the disease, mistaken for consecutive fever.

GREAT RIOT, BLOODSHED AND LOSS =MU Our cuy last night was the scene of transactions more disgraceful in their origin, more outrageous in their tncideets, and more bloody in their masks then any we have ever been called no to record. The writer of this reached the ground at half past 7 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 immediately in front of the main door were shouting and endeavor ing toforce an entrance. The doors were closed against every body,—the theatre being elreadyfulL Time curtain rose and the play commenced. Mr. Macready's appearat.ce was the signal for loud cries and losses, which were overwhelmed, how. ever, by the applause with which he was greeted. The play went on amid considerable confusion unul near the close of the second not, when the Police in attendance, by a simultaneous move meat, seized, handcuffed, and carried off ten or twelve cf the ring lender., after which the play went on without interrup tion to its close—Mr. Sta.:ready being constantly greeted with the most hearty applause. Outside, meant/me, a play of far different kind was enmand. Toe crowd to attendance Increas ed rapidly andconstantly. Astor Place was densely crowded from the Bowery to Broadway, and troth these streets were filled with an Immense multi tude of people. Eighth street, also, above the Op era House. was crowded, and on every aide peo ple were assembled, as spectators of the appre hended tragedy. Finding it impossible to effect an entrance on the Astor Place aide of the house, we pasud round to the stage door in Eighth street.— lne clamor on the Astor Place side had sensibly increased, and some stones were at this time thrown at Um, windows. Reaching the stage door, we found that also chased and guarded by a strong body of police. We had been there but ten or fif teen minutes when a rush of the mob was made from We Bowery side, and a number of them be gan to gather paving atones and hurl them at the WiDaoVre of the stage part of the house. The Poliae went inside and barricaded the door. We crossed the street and mood among the rioter*. The side walk and part of the street was filled with spectators. Those who took an active pert n storming the building were only fifty at silty in number, and were in good part boys. They took up stones from the street, and men among them took large flag stones and broke them in pierce, distributing them among the mob, who hurled them at the windows in regular sucossaion, be ginning with the Bowery end and going towards Broadway. The blinds wereall aimed, but being slight, were, of course, cosily smashed M. Thin continued without InterrupUon Gat imme teen minute., during which time about one third of the windows on thal•side had been broken in. Just then, some one on the Inside of the building thrust through a lower anodes, a hose:pipe, and bsgart to throw water upon the mob. This was received with ntiont, of derinion, and q shower of stones was forthwith directed against the window from which it came. The assault inmates net mewed upon the upper windows, tw were nobly all broken in. An attack 'web Moo ;made upon the moo door on the same side." Heavy stones were taken up from the pavernentAnd half t4dosen or more persons would go together and burl them simultaneously against the door. Three or four disobarges of thissort burst the door to, end a call wu mode fora rush. Tan or lancets persons approached the do3e, and poet as they buried their mashes agnmst it, battering it almost completely down, a side door opened and a large Police-ince rushed out, seizing some of the rioters and drag ging them inside, nod then rushing out Stillitr In good order and forcing beck the •bole crowd on the other side. The entire space in Eighth street, in front oftbe Opera House. was thus; completely cleared, and we accordingly v. air toned to the Astor Place side. Here thy crowd wq denser Matt corer. The street was completely Ailed and tite rioteta immediately In trout were stoning t h e windori and is vain endeavoring to farce an entrench. The police inside once or twice, watching their movements, totaled forth, seising their leaders dragging them inside committed them to p custody. We understood that a Mr. Sudenn i ter known as Ned Buntline, was thus captured nod hand culled. The clamor kept up wan la eastern, and was frequently varied by cheers fps Ned Forrest, and groans dor htlecready. At about half past nine o'clock, the tumuli hi e creasing, the doom and windows giving way, add the shouting sod groaning being at theirbeight,4 diversion was created by the approach of the thl teary from Broadway. First app6,red a company' of liasteirs, mounted on whit!! 'ternary, sad tiding two abreast with drewo swords, Oa a walk direct ly through the centre of the veciard—suid these were E3ltowed by two divisions at bifantry—•com posed of the National Guards, a whole regimen t under Col. Duryea, and the Governor's Guard; put of the regiment under ColooeliPeers—with Axed bayonets gleaming, above the beads of the sun rounding crowd. They marched directly threagh the street, being - greeted from their first eppem once with groans, and blames and. homage, until they reached the corner el the Bowery, and were turning into Eighth street, when some stones were thrown of there, and other demonstrations of hos tility evinced. As they passed through, hotrever, the tumult ceased. The crowd closed in behind them, but neither the shouting nor stoning the windows was at once renewed. Their appear. ante had made an impassion—marked and salu tary. They passed into Eighth street, end were ,- . . .. . - le. keep the egitteit deer in 'front of the Tort, for the exit .01 the audience. They vote drum up:in double line across the street, at the other end, behind a file of po'ibeemen. Mr. Mao nadir had roe through the play and been called oat at its close- The door we. (Treed end the audience came out. A demonstration made on the Astor Place aide caused the door to be closed, and the infantry marched in order from Eighth street to Broadway, (leaving the police alone in charge of Eighth st.)— down Broadway And through the crowd to the Astor Place trout of the House. Here they were halted. The rioters began to pelt them with stones. Several of the National Guards were severely wounded. The active participants in Abe mob were gathered into squads, one to the street be tween the troupe and th e B owery, mad another a little aside, between the troops end the dwelling house of Mr. Lengdon. Two or three times to succession the troops were ordered to charge. They did so,—drove back the mob, but on falling bank, were instantly again hemmed In and pelted with stone.. We were told, on good authority, that several pistols were fired by the rioters at tbis time. See ing that the men under his command were falling around him and canted away grounded, General Hall reported to the Mayor the condition of things, and stated that unless the not lot were read, be would withdraw in. troops. Upon this, the Recorder, Mr. Tallmadge, came forward, read the Riot 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 Are. They fired first upon the squad between them and the Bowery,— and immediately allot upon the other crowd near Mr. Liuigdon's house. Most at the muskets we were told, contained only blank cartridges; some, however, were loaded with ball. By this discharge one or two were killed and several others wound. ed. The noise of the firing went like an electric I shock through the vast multunde congregated in the adjoining streets. Every one seemed astound ed--all were intensely ezcited—and all who had taken part in, or sympathized with the rioters, wee exasperated to the highest pitch. Soon one or two wounded persons were carried on shutter+ through Broadway to the drug store, corner of Eighth street. This added net to the flame: Many of the rioters seized stones in Broadway—where the pavements bad been torn up to make a sewer— and rushed through Astor Place, end presently another volley of must - cry told of their reception. After ten or fifteen minutes, a third volley was fired, and the mob then mainly left the street, and gathered in separate crowds at different points in the vicinity. After the third discharge, a compan! of Light Artillery arrived, and were posted, a portion in Eighth street and the rest in Astor Place, mason sweeping every street. The Infantry also took up position about the House,so that the whole ground was held by the inillutry. Of the mummifies of thin dreadful mist,. we timed it impossible, of course, amid the confusion of the night, to procure rut) , full and reliable ac count A Mr. Maitland, formerly a Policeman in the Seventeenth ward, was killed instantly, in the I first discharge,by a musket ball through the head. Another man, whose name we could not learn, was shot directly through the heart. We were told his name wan Jones, and that he lived to Ninth street—hut of this we are not sure. Mr. Lincoln, a mechanic, residing in Walker street, wee shot through the groin, and taken to his residence. He will undoubtedly die. Mr. McKinley, a tailor, in the Third Avenue, was shot through the breast, and taken into the porter house, corner of Ninth street and Broad way. His wooed is very severe, though there is some chance ot his recovery. Mr. George Curtis, a nephew of Mr. Winches. ter, publisher, in Ann street, was very severely wounded, and taken to the Hospital. We understand that a negro woman, Ileing 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 the rear of the crowd, near Mr. Langdon'e house, was severely wounded in the (teat charge. A man, whose name we could not learn, was struck in the abdomen, cross wise, by a musket ball, and severely injured. A Mr. McDonough, laborer, residing in Mutt street, wn severely wounded A man, known as Jack Smith, who formerly kept an Oyster Saloon down town, was badly wounded. Another person, whose name we did not learn, WAS shot directly through the neck, and can scarcely recover. A young man, standing In the crowd, W. struck on the right arm by a musket ball, and taken to his residence, on Tenth street A man was badly wounded as he war get , Una into the cars, at a considerable distance from I the scene. Several of the military were very acrainsly in. jured by atones thrown by the rioters, and Mr. Barber, cite of the First Ward Police, had his head very severely wounded in the rams way. We understand that, besides those mentioned above...there Were fourteen personcin the crowd, trottakd Ilibritarian *evenly by thrauting of the mill tery: _ ' Three attempts were made to set fire to the; building, by persons inside—malely, we believe. made!: the door of the Parquet:to- They were .11 .discaveredi however, and at once extinguished--; AbOtit thirty of the ring laden, were arrested, handenged, and confined in the Opera House du ring the night, that being deemed the sewn place, I and their presence being considered ponied seen. I rfty against the burning of the house. After the thing had ceased and the military had j dyads occupied the ground, the toter. were scat- toned in squads through the streets, earning them isel yes antra stones, and striving to arouse the in dignation of the thousands, who assembled as spectators They met, however, with but slight success. We panted, at dinrent timer, through every part of the crowd—which could not have numbered less than 25,000 persons; and yet, among them all, we die not believe there were more than five hundred, if there were so many, who took an active part in the riot; and of these nearly or quite half were boys. The presence, however, of so vast a crowd, at once gave them audacity. sad impeded the action of the authorities. The appearance of the milita ry undoubtedly created a good deal of ft-sling; even among the spectators ; end their firing among the crowd, and especially their killing so many who were merely spectators, and some not even that, excited the minds of thousands to a greet de. gree of exasperation, and proknind regret. in the minds of every one present. A. paper was circulated among the rioters, cal. ling a meeting for this aflemooa in the Path, hot we believe the design was abandoned. A large somber of them, however, assembled at Vauxhall Oradea, and listened to the most intemperate and inifiammatory harrangues from their leaders. Com parative quiet, however, had been restored at o'clock, the latest hour to which we can hung down our report. JOB PRINTI 30.
