Thursday, May 1849.
The Gold Dollar.
' OirTuesday last wo had a sight of one of the
.".gold dollars" which have at length been js
sued from. the Mint at. Philadelphia. In size it
is considerably smaller than a half-dime, here
tofore the smallest of all American coinage.
There is no , hard money" feeling about it.
i is too delicate and beautiful to pay out for
po'atoes, and beef, and salt pork. The head
of Liberty with stars is on one side, and on the
joterse, on the margin, the words " United
States of America, " with a wreath enclosing
the words " 1 dollar, 1849."
The New York Riot.
In our paper of to-day will be found the "particu
lars of ibis disgraceful occurrence, which took place
on Thursday evening last. In order that our rea
ders mav the better understand the origin of this
proceeding, it is proper to state that a controver
sy took place last winter, in the newspapers, be
tween Forest the great American Tragedian, and
Macreadv. the "rent Enclish Tracedian. A few
j , 0 J w
years since, when Forest visrted Europe, and per
formed on the London boards, he was hissed and
otherwise rudely treated; and his merits as an ar
tist were severely criticised by the London Exam
iner, a paper edited by a warm friend of Macrea
dy. Some of Forest's friends have asserted that
this was done at the instance of Macready. This
Macready denies, and proves to be false and
proves further, by the editor of the Examiner, that
lie endeavored to prevent the criticism, or to
have its character mollified. On the other hand
it has been charged that Forrest instigated the in
dignities shown Macready in our cities last winter,
'and his more recent and outrageous treatment in
New York. This appears to be unsustained by
any evidence beyond the public controversy they
had in newspapers, which grew out of the treat
ment of Forrest in London and of Macready in
Philadelphia. In fact, we believe there is no ev
idence, that either of them has prompted the out-
rages which have greeted the other; although it
i3 highly probable if not absolutely certain, that
-each of them believes his treatment was caused
by the other's instigation.
SpriiiSr Style of Pantaloons.
This is described by a Philadelphia paper as
follows : " The' hue is a cross between that of
pea soup and dirty water, with a stray touch of
the green scum of a frog pond; and the proud
weaie'rs go up and down Chesnut street like so
many bullfrogs out on a pleasure excursion-"
The New York city banks have now in their
vaults in specie $6,100,000; which added to the
$1,872,000 in the Sub-Treasury, gives a total of
$7,972,000 on public deposite in the city. Specie
is now flowing back rapidly from England. At
least a million was expected in- the steamer
America.
Locofoco Consistency.
4, The Locofocos? previous to the Presidential
election, with their own candidates tied hand and
foot to the Baltimore platform, accused the Whigs
of; supporting a candidate who refused to make
pledges. Now they tell us that Gen. Taylor- is
daily violating 'the pledges he made before the
election.
James II. Reese:, Esq,, of Allentown, was ap
pointed at the late session of the Legislature, Com
missioner to settle the affairs of the Lehigh Goun
iv Bank.
' Sir John Franklin sailed from Portsmouth, Eng.,
with two vessels, in May 1845, in search of a
northwest passage to India. The vessels, were
victualled for three years, but were expected to
roturn in 3847. Since their departure, however,
no tidings of them have been received : and be
side's despatching three separate expeditions in
search of them, the British Adrnirality have of
fered, 3 0,000- to the vessel which shall discover
the lost ships, and give thern relief.
The lady of Sir John Franklin has written a
letter to President Taylor, dated April 4, 1840,
stating these facts,. and very eloquently beseech
ing the aid of the American government in the
effort to discover the discoverers. To this .letter
Mr. Secretary Clayton has responded on behalf
oT the President, and afterpropercondolerices with
the bereft lady, promises all the assistance that
constitutionally lies within the power of' the- Ex
ecutive to lend. The case is certainly one of
much interest and it,is to be hoped -congress at its
next session, wilbauthorize some' active-exertions

Tlic past and the Present.
The workings of Providence unbelievers call
call it " chance" are inscrutible and its ways
past finding out. The experience of all ages has
proved the truth of this maxim of Sacred History
beyond a doubt, and we need not go back to the
events of other days, or to search the records of
old and fabulous times, to establish it. The events
of our time afford abundant evidence of its truth
if we but open our eyes to facts and our minds to
reflection and understanding. We have distinctly
before us the chain of events which have conspired
to place Zachaky Taylor a man who three
years ago was almost entiiely unknown to the
great body of the American people at the head
of the most powerful nation upon the face of the
globe, and it affords a most remarkle proof of
the proposition laid down by the ancient writer,
as to the inscrutability of the workings of Provi
dence.
If we go back to 183 we witness the com
mencement of a scheme set oh foot by sundry
cunning politicians, having for its object the
strengthening of the slave power of this country.
The means by which that object was to be ac
complished,' the, annexation of the infant, Texan
Republic. Up to the second or -third year of the
Administration of John Tyler, this scheme had
gamed so little ground, so far as the public was
aware, as to attract no great attention. The great
Presidential Campaign-which was soon to open,
however, brought it before the American people
for the first time, a matter that must be met and
passed upon. It was fostered and encouraged by
John Tyler, but renounced by Mr. Van Buren.
The Whig party opposed it, as mischievous in its
design, and likely to result disastrously to the
country. Mr. Van Buren lost his nomination in
consequence of the ground which he took against
it. Mr. Polk a man of whom the great body of
the people had never heard, or hearing, had never
remembered his name was nominated, elected,
and entered upon his duties with the scheme near
ly completed. So far the plan had worked well.
No war had yet been provoked, and in his mes
sage, the New President, in a vein of party exul
tation, congratulated the country upon the great
and " bloodless acquisition." So far again, the
scheme had worked to a charm- ihe American
people had been fairly bamboozled, and glory e-
nough had been manufactured to furnish an aus
picious prestige for many future" democratic ad
ministrations. The executive blustered about the
glory and success of democratic measures, and L
every member of the party, great and small, from
rnm
Maine to Mexico, from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
and as far North in Oregon as "49 deg.," clapped
their hands with exultation and joy. Democracy
was to live forever ! Far down the mazy distance
the thousand specks of official favor hung in the
political firmament, " in bigness as a star of smal
lest magnitude."
But hark ! The booming sound of cannon
comes sweeping on the Southern gale then the
groans of the dying, and following, the mangled
corse and the "garments dyed in blood." The
cry of the widow arid the wail of the orphan is
mingled with this strange discordant sound ; the
din of war is heard again ; the call to arms ; and
the " bloodless-acquisition, after a struggle of two
years, and'an expenditure of 100,000,000 the
least important of all our losses becomes ours.
And the "gloiy," for which such a sacrifice was
made, becomes not the reward of those short
sighted men who let loose this carnagebut by
the inscrutible decrees of Providence, it is made
to work their overthrow.
Gen. Zachary Taylor, the Humble soldier, who
had in the short space of two years, astonished the
world with his mighty genius, and shed a lustre
of imperishable glory not only upon our arms, but
upon our national character, our virtue and our
forbearance, was called as if by some miraculous
power to occupy and adorn the .place .that had
been filled by Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Mad
ison and other guardian spirits of our youthful ex
istence. His triumph was over one of' the most
unscrupulous and to all appearancesMhe strongest
parties that'the history of our country ever fur
nished. Thus-failed the grand scheme of Annexation, to
which was devoted so many years of anxious toil
arid watchfulness which required to be sealed
with blood and treasure before it could be com
plete. Texas was annexed--a portion of -Mexico
conquerced but Slavery was weakened instead
of strengthened, and the great and marvellous par
ty miscalled " democrats," instead of being per
petuated was overthrown and put to"'confu3iori.
Their horsemen and their chariots were destroyed,
and their 'valiant men i. c. their office-holders
are every day being put touhe sword of justice.

ANOT1SEB SHARU3FUJL RIOT.
Attack on the Opera House The Military called
out Fifteen persons killed and Tweritype
wounded.
We are again called upon to record one of
the moht shameful events which has ever dis
graced the history of our City. The riot of
Monday night, of which thai of last night was
but a continuation, was harmless in compari-
i . l i r
son. We ytve tne particulars in me oruer ui
their occurrence, and almost entirely Irom our
own personal observation.
The inflation extended to Mr. Macready by
a number of our most prominent citizens, and
his acceptance thereof, called forth a spcond
effort on the part of those who created the riot
on Monday night. Early yesterday morning
placards were posted up through the City, sta
tins that the crew of the British steamer bad
threatened violence to all who " dared express
their opinions at the English. Aristocratic Op
era Houe," and calling on all working men to
" Stand by their lawful rights." In conse
quence of this and similar threats a large body
of Police was ordered to attend at the Opera
House, and in case this should not be sufficient
to preserve order, the Seventh Regiment, Col.
Duryea, and two troops of horse, (Capts. Var
num and Patterson,) of the 8ih Regiment, un
der commancLuf Gen Hall, and the Huzzars at
tached to Gen. Morris's Brigade, were held in
readiness. They formed in two bodies, one of
which was stationed in the paik and one at
Centre Market.
In anticipation of a riot, the rush for tickets
was very great, and before ntght, none were to
bo haJ. For some time before the doors were
opened, people began to collect in Astor Place,
and the Police took their stations at the doors
and in the buildings. The crowd increased
with every moment, and when we came upon
the ground, at half-j)ast seven, the square and
street from Broadway to the Bowery were near
ly full. There was such a tremendous crush
about the doors, in spite of a notice posted up
slating that the tickets were all sold, that sev
eral of the entrances were obliged to be closed.
The Police used every exortion to preserve
order, and succeeded in preventing all attempts
to force an entrance. Inside, the house was
filled but not crowded, and the ampitheatre was
not more than half full. The general appear
ance of the audience was respectable and it
was hoped at first that there would be no seri
ous attempt at disturbance. We noticed, how
ever, that the windowshad been carefully

The first two scenes passed over with a
vociferous welcome to Mr. Clarke as Malcolm.
The entrance of Mr. Macready, in the third
act, was the signal for a perfect storm of cheers,
groans and hisses. The whole audience rose,
and the nine-tenths of it who were friendly to
Macready cheered, waving their hats and hand
kerchiefs. A large body in the parquette, with
others in the second tier and amphitheater
hissed and groaned with equal zeal. The tu
mult lasted for ten or fifteen minutes, when an
attempt was made to restore order by a board
being brought upon the stage, upon which was
written 41 The Friends of Order will remain
quiet." This silenced all but the rioters, who
continued to drown all sound of what was said
upon the stage. Not a word of the first act
could be heard by any one in-the bouse. The
Policemen present did little or nothing, evi
dently wailing orders. Finally, in the last
scene of the act, Mr Matsell, Chief of Police,
made his appearance in the parquette, and, fol
lowed by a number of his aids, marched direct
lv down the aisle to the leader of the distur
bance, whom he secured after a short but vio
lent struggle. One by one the rioters were
taken and carried out, the greater part of the
audience applauding as they disappeared.
Before the second act was over, something
of the play could be heard; and in the pauses
of the shouts and yells, the orders of the Chief
and his men in different parts of the house
could ba heard, as well as the wild uproar of
the mob without. Mrs. Coleman Pope, as
Lady 'MacbelJi, first procured a little silence
which ended, however, immedia'tely on Mr.
Iacready's reappearance. The obnoxious
actor went through his part with perfect self
possession, and paid no regard to the tumultu
ous scene before him. As the parquette and
gallery were cleared of the noisiest rioters, the
crowds without grew more violent, and stones
were hurled against the windows on the As-tor-placo
side. As one window cracked after
another, and pieces of bricks and paving-stones
rattled in oirthe terraces and lobbies, the con
fusion increased, till the Opera House resem
bled a fortress besieged by an invading army
rather than a place meant for the peaceful
amusement of a civilized community Some
times heavy stories would dash in the boards
which had been nailed up as protection, and a
number of policemen were constantly occupied
in nailing up and securing the defenses. The
attack was somtimes on one side and sometimes
on the other, but seemed to be most violent on
Eighth-si. where there was a continual volley
of stones and other missils Tho retirin-rooms
were closed, and the lobbies so, braked" by the
mob .outside, that t hp only safe places were
the boxes and barquelte. A sloife, thrown
through an upper, window, knocked off some of
the ornaments of the splendid chandelier.
The foiirth and fifth acts'were given in com
parative quiet, so'far as the audience were con
cerned, a large number of whom assembled in
tho lobby, no , egress from the buildiiig. being
possible. At these words of Macbeth :
" I will not be afraid of death and bane,
'Till JJurnam forest CDme, to Dunsinane "
An attempt was made
failed. -The phrase,

was also loudly applauded.; ' Bui irspijejof the:
constant crashing and thumping of stones and
the terrible vells of the crowd in. the street,
,ihe tragedy too truly a tragedy to many was
played id an endtand the curtain foil. Macre-
ally was Ol cuuisu .uaiiuu uui anuiwicciou, ao
was lVJr. UlarK. oneers were aiso given ior
the Police, and for many other things which
we did not hear in the general tumult.
Towards the close, a violent attack was
made by the mob on one of the doors, which
was partly forced. A body of Policemen, armed
with their short clubs, sallied from it and se
cured a number of the loaders, who were
brought in and placed in a large room under
the parquette.'with those who had been previ
ously arrested. These rioters, to the number
of thirty or forty, battered down the partition of
the room with their feet, and attempted to crawl
out at the bottom by the holes t.o made. A
strong guard was therefore placed to watch
them, and no one, we believe, succeeded in
making his escape. From the confusion occa
sioned by ihe continued attack on the house,
we were unable io learn the names of any of
them.
After the play Was over, the noise being ap
parently diminished somewhat, the audience
were allowed to go out quietly by-the door near
est Broadway. The crowd was not denso in
the middle of the street, a body of troops hav
ing just passed along, but the sidewalks, fen
ces and all other availlable positions were
thronged, and a shower of s'ones was kept up
against the windows. As we reached Broad
way a company of the Greys came round from
Eighth-st. and took their position in front of
the Opera House. Two cordons of Police in
Eightn-st. kept the street vacant before the
building, but the shattered doors and windrws
showed how furious had been the attack on this
side. We learned from those in the crowd
that troops of foot and one of horse had arrived
about half an hour previous and passed entire
ly around the building, partially dispersing the
mob. They had been assailed with stones, it
was stated, one of the dragoon1 knocked from
his horse and another carried off with a broken
leg from the fall of his horse.
Up to this time we did not learn that any
proclamation had been made to the rioters
After passing the Greys at ih corner of Broad
way we went into Eighth-al. and were on the
return, in not more than three minutes after
ward, when a volley was fired by the troops,
the quick, scattering flashes throwing a sud
den gleam over the crowd, the gas-lights in the
streets having all been extinguished. Hasten
ing into Astor-place, we found the troops drawn
up before the house, and the crowd be'ginning
to disperse in front of them. It was generally
believed that they fired blank cartridges, and a
large number of persona, who were rriere lookers-on
did not pay much attention to it. We
passed into Lafayette-place, and there saw the
bodies of two or three persons dead or woun
ded borne away.
The. crowd seemod taken by surprise, as on
account of the incessant noises very few could
have heard the reading of the Riot Act. Many
assert that it was not read, but we have posi
tive testimony to the contrary. We were re
turning and had nearly reached Astor-place
again when a second volley was fired, followed
almost without pause by three or four others.
A part of the crowd came rushing down Lafayette-place,
but there was no shout nor noise
except the deadly report of the muskets
After this horrid sound had ceased, groups
of people came along, bearing away the bodies
of the dead and dj'ing. The excitement of the
crowd was terrible. We heard nothing but one
universal expression of vengence and abhor
rence." What adds to this tragic occurrence is
that most of those who were killed were inno
cent of all participation in the riot. An old
man, waiting lor the cars in the Bowery, was
instantly shot dead. A little boy, eight years
old, was killed by a ball, at the corner of Lafayette-place,
and a woman sitting in her own
room at the corner of the Bowery, was shot in
the side. Some of the bodies were carried in
to Vauxhall, others into J.one's Hotel, and oth
ers to the City Hospital and the Ward Station
House. In the former place we saw a dead
man stretched on the billiard table, and anoth
er with a ball in his hip, writhing in great agony.
Groups of people collected in the streets and
in front of Vauxhall, some of which were' ad
dressed. by speakers, calling them to revenge the
death of the slain. The troops for a lime an
ticipated another attack, in consequence of this,
hut up io the hou.r of going to press, all has
been quiet. We hero give a list of the killed
and wounded, ivhich is as correct as was possi
ble to make it, under the circumstances :
Geo. Lincoln, 30 years old, 139 Walker street.
Ball in groin and out the back. No hopes of re
covery. James McDonald, 17 years old, 134 Walker
street. Ball through left side.

Fourth street and Brodway.
Henry Otten, grocer, corner of Hestor and
Orchard street, was shot through the stomach, and
died in the 15th Ward Station House while wB

her lamentations were truly heart rending.
At the same Station House we saw a fireman
(name not known,) who had just died from a shot
through the brain.
Frederick Gillespie, a boy, shot through tl)e.
foot, was taken home.
There was another man lying dead from a ball

thority, that seven men, one boy and one la.iy
had been treated, several of whom are mentioned
above in the Hospital report.
In the Opera House one man lay dead. t
Jones's, corner of Ninth street and Broadway, ve
saw a Mr. McKinley, about 26 years old. a book,

going out through the left shoulder blade. J,s
wound was dangerous, but not hopeless.
At No. 19 Third Avenue, corner St. Mark's
Place, eight of the military were brought, lmured
by missiles thrown by the mob.. None ofthSSe
were seriously hurt. Eleven other perann.s were
brought to this store, four of whom we were a?,
sured by the Doctor were dead. We sin- tiv,,
coipses ourselves. A man with a shot in VA
leg was taken from here to the Hospital. Seven'
balls were sard to havd struck the walls of ihu
store.
At the Seventeenth Ward Station House, ue
saw two dead persons.
Owen Burns, shot through the head ; and V,.
liam Butler, apparently a sailor, shot in the rig.'-t
breast.
We were assured that one wounded man diei
in, or was taken ded to Vauxhall Garden.
John Smith, 9G Perry street, was shot in the
thigh. His wound is very severe, but not dan
gerous. Mr. Romaine, a young man, butcher of 55 First
street, lay mortally wounded atthe druggist's, cor

We found Mr. Matsell, Chief of Police, in tb
Opera House. He said that the mob fired w;l"
guns or pistols that a great number of the pahce
were hurt some of them shot through and through
one mortally, as he had heard.
One of Mr. Matsell's officers told us that of 40
or 50 under arrest in a kind of pen down stain,
one Tappen had been arrested within three mnnths
on a-charge of burglary. Some had been ironed,
but their irons had been taken off. Bill Spark;,
a notorious character, Tom Burns. E. Z. (). lai.
son, editor" of Buntliri's Own, were among thern.
The National Grays and Police had possession
of the House, and would remain all night.
The Mayor, Gen. Sandford and the ShenJ,
were on the ground at the moment of the greatest
difficulty.
Some artillerymen were there when we left.
There were, of course, a thousand rumors mare
or Jess exaggerated in circulation, which are not
worthy of particular mention.
It is impossible to ascertain to-night the number
of dead' and wounded ; but we think we have pos
itive evidence that at least twelve, and perhaps'---teen
were either killed: outright or died before lo'-
vary from twenty to thirty t although many ate not 1
