Tut Patt.szeLtsma Rtosit. , .....We are happy to
narneenee that thatwatful 'dowsing goevsnedia
- addible daring the weater part id" last weelt have
Amenosuppremed, and the alarmed cititets Clow enjoy
comparative wearily. These outrages have feta dark
owl terrible stain upon cur national honor, and will
• learfurnish the enemies of a 'republican goverment
-^ with arguments against our institutions, - which miler
*namely for us cannot be refuted. The revolting fact
- is too plainly established, that in the face of the civil
twain:whim, in the face of the armed military, a ruth
%leas mob wit permitted to apply the incendiary's torch
to Churches and dwellings, to murder and pillage and
to commit every enormity that their bell-engendered
. :.feelings ooteti derive. Murder and aro a swept thro
- the dry in broad day, and bid defame to the civil and
••military powers.
The pusillanimous conduct of the authorities of
%Philadelphia lisispsft • lasting disgrace upon the city,
.and made he 'holiday soldiers, just objects fur the
-acorn and contempt of the who!e world. Instead of
'taking prompt measures to check the ptogress of the
outrages, and make the instigators feel the power of
• 'the hiw, they endeavored to coax the outlaws to desist
-from further violence, sad thought by soft words to
• calm an infuriated mob that had been made wild by
itirfirst taste of blood. The ruffians laughed at their
.cowardice. and"within roach of their bayonets and the
grasp of the police limn, went on with their work of
• destruction.
All hopes in the energy of the military and civil
-authorities being lost, and the mad fury of the mob
becoming more terrible when they found the large lily
et ty that was granted them by those whose duty it was
to protect the lives and property of the citizens, a call
was rile on the Governor, who with a promptness
deserting • of all praise, repaired to Philadelphia on
the instant, and adopted immediate measures to stop
the further progress of the outlaws.
Define the arrival of the Governor, however, the
mob had become wearied in their course of destruc
tion, and would, perhaps, in a shot t timehave desisted
from sheer exhaustion, but, no doubt, would renew
the outrages as soon as they hadtaken a little repose.
The city for the time being is safe, as long as the
.energetic arrangements the Governor made for its
Trotection are observed, the rioters will not date to
attempt any fresh violence. but we thick the citizens
may well feel alarm fur their safety when they have no
better protection than the pusihauimous authorities
.that are now in office.
IFILVITS °Flint PHILADELPHIA RIOTII.—The prop
-fay destroyecl,by the Philadelphia mob is estimated
as follows:-2 Catholic Churches, 2 do. School Hous
cw,2dwelJin6saftheClerty, I Seminary, GI two and
three story buildings of the Irish Catholics, and 1
Market-House,—Total, 89. Value about $350,000,
.every cent of which the county of Philadelphia will
Lave to pay.
SIGNS OT .1 RIOT IN New YORK.—A cull of s
meeting of the Native Americans was issued in New
York on Thursday, to take place in the Park that af
ternoon,to expresstheir approval of the course of their
brethren in Philadelphia. There being a prospect
, that the meeting would lead to riots in that city the
Mayor promptly interfered, and the .meeting was in
'efinitely postponed. The New York 'Aurora of Thurg
au, says:—"We learn that numbers of persona belong
ing to this city have expressed a determination to
Nish Philadelphia, should another demonstration of
hostility take place, and join the Native Americans in
an attempt to 'exterminate' by all means, the opposing
Pally."
A yew FACTS •ND FIGTIRES.—We are constant
!}y and exultingly told by the coons, that there is not
• WIG smallest chance fer us at the next Presidential
election—that all the elections are going against us,
and that they will succeed to a certainty. Upon what
kfactisitbey base this pleasant belief pezzles us to know.
tullhilliar we are disposed to think it is but a part of the
game of brag, which has been so successfully practi
r
sad by their Chief, and imparted by him to his follow
le
-bn., But that they may see how groundless their
.opinions are, we would refer them to a few facts and
a6gures. New England is regarded as the stronghold
'if federalism; they have fur years held almost undis.
pawl sway in that portion of the country, and unless
they succeed in carrying New England in the coming
contest they have not the smallest chance. How, then
sands the comptection of these States as compared
with 1840. The following is a statement of the resul.
of the last general election in the New England States,
and Jr. will be seen that another such election will ruin

[General Order were loaned, calling out The volunteers
and assigning to the several companies different por

4 o'clock—The military have now re-assembled and
are rdistrtlotad throughout 'the city and county—the
Ist Brig under Gen Cadwallader in the city , the Sec
ond under 'Gee Rournfort, in Kensington and Fair
mount, end the Third onder Gen Hobble inSouthwark

and four under Limit Col lones. at the new German
Catholic church now in progressof erection at the car

1 , is guarded by the Independent Rifles and Lafayette
1 Light Guard, and the Christian street - church by the
Wayne'Artillery. All the Catholic 'chum - has in the
, city are under the protection df the companies of the
First Brigade. Civil posse have formed in every
Ward, and are co-opening with -the , military. Most
of them are armed. About thirty members of the,
bar, principally young men, in fatigue uniform, and
designated by badges. have formed a special armed'
posse to act under the immediate direction of the
Mayor.
- .4 o'clock—The Rivard Bank in Third street be
tween Cbeema and Dock, is the Head Quarters of the,
Division. -The Cavalry and a company of Infantry are
in the yard, and that building is full of soldiers.
7 o'clock—Quiet still prevails ira Kensington. The
%%cods in the upper part of the county are full of the
Irish who have been driven from the district. Their
condition is saidto be pitiable. We hear that hunger
has forced them to attack and pillage the wagons of
the country people coming to market. It was rumor
ed this morning that they had taken possession of the
United States Arsenal at Frankford, but we - hare just
heard that such is not the fact. Major Tompkins has
°brained soldiers from Fort Mifflin, mud the Arsenal is
now safe.
Half pest 7 o'cluck.--,Judge Jones has been sitting
all day in the Court of Common pleas as a committing
magistrate. Three persons who were insolent to and
resisted the military. have been bound over as rioters
by his Honor.
About half past 8 o'clock .—The State House bell
sounds the alarm of fire. The heavens are lighted up
with a lurid glare in a westerly direction. Firemen
and citizens are rushing towards the scene of confla
gration. A passe nf three hundred citizens move
from the Sheriff's office. Incendiaries have fired the
blacksmith ebop of George Smith, and a carpenter
shop adjoining it in George street, below Tenth, with
the object of drawing the military away from the church
es. The ruse fails. The buildings are consuumed in
less than half an hour. The state of alarm and excite
ment increases wet v moment.
9 re,cloolt.—A .htidy of upwards of one hundred
marines and sailors—both wren and boys--etvived at
the Head Quarters of the Division. They are the
crew of the steam ship Princeton, and are to act as
the advance guard of the military.
10 o'cleck—The night line from the Capitol has
just arrived, bringing a hundred volunteers, consisting
of the tlarriaburgh Rifles, the Jackson Riflemen of
Lancaster,und the Lancaster Fencibles. These com
panies have taken up their quarters at Bartle's hotel,
near Fairmount.
IThe following Proclamation a-as issued at en early

PHILADELPHIA, May 10th, 1844
Deis SIR:-1 wi iZo you in the midst of the great
est excitemen, and alarm. Our city is irretrievably
disgraced by the inferno% conduct of an infuriated
mob and the shameful apathy of the. constituted authori
ties. The mayor of the city—the sheriff of the city
and county, are all equally censured.—The newspa
pers of the day will have afforded you all the promi
nent circumstances, with such colonng as suited their
political feelings, or accorded with their prejudice.
I will briefly attempt* to give you some of the minor
facts which have escaped their notice, and which un
questionably produced all the disgraceful riots and
still contribute to their continuance.
The inflammatory lectures and sermons from such
men as Chambers, Berg, Boardman. Tyson and Perry,
fur the last few years have poisoned the public mind,
with the most infamous falsehoods, in regard to the
Catholic faith. Added to this, a reformed drunkard,
whose beastly and habitual intoxichtion ; was among
his most pardonable offences, by the name of Levin,
assumed the control of a filthy paper called 'The Sun,'
and by his daily appeals to the vilest passions worked
up the materials made ready to his hand by his r to
erend coadjutors.
In regard to the origin of the riots much misappre
hension exists. The idea which has been most insidi
ously inculcated, that the Irish first commenced the
riots by an improper interference with a meeting of
the Native Americans, is not correct , --an improper
interference was indeed made at a previous meeting,
awl was accompanied with no other excitement than
what is usual on similar occasions, at political meet
ings. The excitement passed away—but the occa
sion was net to be lost by those who had been for
months endeavoring to excite this feeling of retaliation.
It is notorious that the meetings hail been called in
the midst of a neighborhood densely populated by the
Irish Catholics. That those attending these meetings
after hearing the most foul abuse of the Catholic
church and its members, visited the catholics in the
vicinity—taunting and insulting them, with the most
' foul and opprobrious epithets. The last meeting was
called for revenfe. and deliberately arranged for a
riot in the vicinity of the doomed church of St. Mi
chael's. This meeting proceeded orderly, and without
interruption on the part of the Irish, and would no
doubt have terminated without any confusion had the
meeting notadjourned u the market house where sev
eral of the Irish had assembled. From this they
were rudely ejected, and in this proceeding the riot
originated. It if needless to enter into a detail of
imNequent events. The dark page of history will m
cord thee' to the enduring disgrace of Philadelphia.
To eshibit the vanderapirit of the rioters I will give
yen some unpublidted particulars: When they ob
tained possession of the crucifix st St. Michael's, the
sacred enddeut of man's salvation, it wee exhibited
with shoots oftierision mod morn, it wasemashed into
pieces, and the several pieces trampled under foot
eith the utmost. rage. At St. Augustin's Church the
• same spirit was evinced.' The 'menden:saes on the
pillars in front of the church-were eased as trophies
of victory and e:ev in the bands of the

THE RIOT QUELLED
During the whole of yesterday and night traniuili
'-ty reigned throughout the city and district.. At day
break the military companies stationed at the Various
churches wore dismissed, and received orders to meet
again at 3 o'clock in the aftermath', so as to be prepa-
I red to take their posts' - again at 5 o'clock. The po
lice were also dismissed -at the acme time, and
had a similar order given them. Both these strong
- and efficient bodies went on duty at the time specified
and - places appointed by the constituted authorities, or
under the command of MajoeGeneral - Patterson.
The excitement of the -people seems -to have been
almost entirely abated. and from appearances at pres
ent, it is thought that Monday next will be the extent
of the timethat will be necessary for the troops to be
on auty. Nothing like an outbreak was perceptible is

Many idle remora were in circulation in reference to

HOUSES BLOWN DOWN
The whirl yesterday morning blew very strong from
the southwest. About 11 o' clock four three story
wooden buildings, partly finished, at the corner of Sea
and South streets were completely prostrated by the
force of the gale, and fell in a mass of ruins. Six men
at work upon them at the time of the crash, luckily
escaped without the slightest injury.—Bost. Post.
MOST HORRID
The Baltimore Argus contains a private letter from
Constantinople, dated March 26th, 1899, in which is
enclosed a translation of a letter front the Bishop of
Scopia to the Greek Patriarch at Constantinople, giv
ing an account of the outrages on a Christian sect on
tho Borders of Bulgaria by the Albanians. This let
ter says:—
" The men they have tied to columns and
have committed upon the women and their daughters
acts the most atrocious; after this they have hung the
men up b - their feet and forced their own wives to
stifle them by means of smoke from straw burned under
their heads. They have violated old women of eighty
years, and young girls of ten. They have pierced the
buys with their lances and roasted them like sheep,
saying:—"You in the time of Chivzi Pacha, would not
prepare mutton fur us to eat; sec, now, in recompense,
we roast you. and call to your assiAtance Chivzi Pacha."
They tor* off the clothes of the girls and compelled
them to remain on- foot all naked, and to servo them
with wine all night. They dishonored the married
women before their husbands, whom they obliged to
hold torches in their hands. Oh! Heaven and earth!
how stiffer you such wickedness to ho done, without
shame and without fear, by the impious Albanians!"
VERY LATE FROM HAYTI
Complete overthrow of the Mulatto government.
—From Captain Hoyt, of the brig Republic, who left
fort Republican, 27th ultimo, arrived at New York,
we learn that the Blacks have been entirely successful
in their engagements with the Government troops.—
Herard's forces bad disbanded in the North, and he
took refuge in Port Republican, but was hotly pursu
ed by a superior numerical force, and it is believed he
could not hold out many days. The Revolutionists
have established an independent government in the
Spanish part of the island. The French Admiral lay
of Port Rep., with three frigates waiting the issue of
events. He would .probably take possession of the
island, and the expected failure of the Government to
' pay the indemnity due to France would be issued as a
protect for that purpose, The black population has
becri fighting fur a Republican form of Government, in
stead of a Military Despotism, and we think the pos
session of the Island will cost France much more
than any pecuniary advantage she can ever expect from
it.
SZTER6 STOR.II.—The Springfield, 111., Register,
of the let, sayst—A heavy storm of rain and wind,
accompained with thunder and lightning, passed over
our city and neigiaborho.xl on Thursday evening last,
commencing about 8 o'clock, and continuing more than
an hour. No serious damage, as we learn, was dope
in town, but we regret to learn that Mr Clark's mill,
on the south fork of the Sangsaton river, with the I
bridge just below it, were carried away by:the.freshet
occasioned by the heavy rain. All the streams hethis
vicinity rose with great rapidity to an unusual height,
and the drivers on the northern and eine= routes were
compelled to return with the mails on Friday, being
unable to cross the streams within five or six miles of

Busisass ♦T ST. Loote.—The .Organ of the 3d
gives the following gratifying account of the prosperi
ty of St. Louis:—
The weather for the past week bas been very fuse,
and business throughout the city has been quite active.
The rivers above are all very high. The Mississippi
opposite here is bank-full, and as high as it was last
year. The cellars on Water street have from one to
tern feet water in them. Our Levee is now about 20
feet wide, and covered with boxes, hogsheads. hemp
and all kinds of produce and mercitandize. The noise
is enough to deafen one, with the draymen balloting to
one anothet to make room for thorn tn• pass. For ten
squares it seems a perfect bee hive. We counted
yesterday 28 steamboats at our landing, receiving and
discharging freight; and on Monday last tbe number
was much greater, and room was so scarce that the new
ferry-boat was forced to give up her landing, and was
deprived of it during the day, to the no little inconve
nience of the travelling community, and of annoyance
to the temper and pockets of the owners.
Lead. T her,* was quite a brisk demand, chiefly fur
the European Markets. and sales were made at $3 07
per 100 lbs.
Freights.—There are a number of large New Orleans
boats in port; consequently freights have fallen, and
arts still on the decline; the rates yesterday, were as
follows:—Beef and pork were 90 cents per barrel,
flour 31) cents per barrel, Hemp 27 a 30 oents per
hundred pounds ; Lard 20; Le td 10 at 12.
NEW COUNTERFEIT
Conitable Hughes has just shown us a counterfeit,
cf the denomination of $lO, on the Chester County
Bank. Theplate is admirably executed, but has no
resemblance whatever to the Chester county bank
notes. It is said to be an old plate altered—probably
one of the Philadelphia Banks; bat it may be easily
detected by the fact that it contains a Vignette of the
Declaruticn of Independence, which is not to be found
on the genuine note. We learn that two of these notes
were mimed off in this city on Saturday last. Look
out.— Lan. Intellig enrer.
Steamer Champion left Cincinnati 24th nit: found
steamer Champion aground at the foot of Looghery
Island, with apart of her cargo ashore; spent two hours
in towing her off. At Echoll's Bar, found the steam
er Paragon with one of her guards broken off by the
weight of cotton; lighted her by taking off 150 bales,
which would enable her to come on without further
difficulty.—Pic. •

LATER FROM TEXAS.
By the arrival of the steamship Neptune, Copt
Itolrina, we have full tiles of Texas pipets as late us
our Houston dates are up to the 27th ult.
A•nong the passengers by the Neptune were Ex-
President Lamar, un his way to Georgia, Gen. A. S
Johnson, and pining !qr. Murphy. The latter, we an
del-sun nal, is tlie hearer of impel-tam despatches for
our fiovernment, and went on yesterday towards
Washington with all haste.
The Sans AlnOiliO prisoners, recently released, were
treated with the greatest hospitality on their as rival
at Galveston, and also at Houston.
sugar, of the finest quality. is advertised fur
sale in some of the papers.
The schir. liarb't. Centre, vs ith 253 bales of cotton,
has been lust between Sabine and this city. Of the
cotton only tiB bales are thought to have been saved.
The loss of the steamer Ellen Frenkland is deeply
deplored by the planters on the 1 rinity.
Tine country in the vicinity of Lynchburg, on the
San. Jacinto, has recently been overflowed.
From the flousten Telegraph we learn that a large
number of German emigrants arrived at San Artunia
de Bexar a few weeks since, and immediately settled
upon the rich, fertile and beautiful lands in the vicinity
of that healthy location. They may be seen daily go
ing out of the city with their fur.ning utensils and guns,
to work together in their fields. The men, women
and children all work together in companies, and sev
eral of the men are detailed as guards to prevent any
sudden attack of the Cumanches. They appear to be
delighted with thew new abode, and their industry and
skill in agriculture have excited the admiration of all
who have seen theta.
It is now thoughtthat the court martial for the trial
of Corn. Moore will not meet, although he is anxious
that his acts may undergo investigation.
It has been ascertained that the Angelina is naviga
ble for fiat boats a distance of some two hundred miles.
The above are all theitems of the least interest we
could glean from our exchanges. We publish the fol
lowing letter from one of our correspondents:
Bousvost, Ansatt.2Bth, 1844.
We have very quiet times here now-a-days. Any
news we can send you ii small potatoes compared with
what you scud us by every conveyance—all the excite
ment is with you. The U. S. Revenue Cutter Vigi
lant artived at Galveston from your port two days a
go, bringing Ike treaty, and no mistake. The bearer
and his fattier (Gen. Murphy.) arrived at this place on
last evening. The two Generals, Murphy and Hous
ton, are in the finest kind of spirits, and both seem
confident of the ratification of the treaty by the U. S.
Senate in just as short a time as decency will allow.
It will then only remain for the Senate of this Repub
lic to assemble and ratify it (which they will doubt
less promptly do) to put us into the white settlements.
And a glorious era will it be in the annals of both coun
tries, and especially in that of the United States,for the
arrangement will be ten-fold more advantageous to
her than to Texas—when it shall be consummated.
What Texas desires most,and above all things is a
permanent peace and independence. I believe a ma
jority of the people would prefer the latter to annexa
tion. If annexation fails now, it is thelast chance.—
The people are determined on having peace at all hat
saris. Old Sam's time will be out next December,
and he is bent en effecting some great change in the
political affairs of the country before the expiration
of his time. If annexation fails he will probably aim
to procure the acknowledgement of our independence
by Mexico, whick will be done, peacably if it can, for
cibly if it must, by the aid of the U. S. or England, or
both. John Bull, it is undetstood, is quite willing to
guarantee a permanent peace with Mexico fora consid
eration—such, for instance, as admitting her fabrics at
a low rate of duty—she agreeing to admit Texas cot
ton into her ports free from duty. A very pretty ar
rangement for both partiescould undoabW. ly be made,
but I trust the necessity for it may testabidated by the
doings at Washington. Yours truly, W.
