TERRIBLE R10TC
LOSS OF LIFE IN NEW YORK!
The New York papers of yesterday are
filled with the details of a deplorable riot,
which took place in that city on the prece
ding evening. The comments of the jour
nals are various, but a simple statement
of facts will be sufficient at this time. The
first extract we give is from the New York
Sun, which appears to have gone to press
before the most serious events of the night
took place:
The announcement that Mr. Macready
was to play last night at the Astor Place
Opera House, induced many persons to
anticipate a repetition of the disgraceful
disturbance of Monday night, and to be
prepared for it, a strong body of police
was detailed to keep order.
Before dark, the National Guards were
called out to aid the police. When the
time for commencing the performances
arrived, a vast crowd was assembled in
the street in front oi the theatre, to see
what was going on.
Soon after the audience assembled, the
curtain rose and the performance commen
ced in a quiet orderly manner. Mr. Ma
creadv was received with applause from
the boxes.
As soon as the applause began to sub
side, there were tokens of disapprobation
from a small circle of persons in the front
of the parquette, and others in the upper
tier, who seemed determined that Mr.
Macreadv should not proceed. One of
the rioters made a speech to Mr. M
which the latter replied to, but such was
the confusion and disorder, that it was im
possible to hear what either said. A rush
was now made by the Police upon the
rioters in the pit a scuffle ensued the
house in an uproar- cries of "turn them
out," and srreat confusion. At last the
Police hore off the principal rioters.
The leading rioters having been taken
out, a mob outside about five thousand
persons having gathered around the house
commenced throwing stones at the win
dows. Some of these missiles, weighing
from one to three nounds. passed into the
building, and fell amonsr the audience
knocking off hats and inflicting slight in
juries. Nobody was seriously hurt.
Uunng these proceedings a number o
Policemen, headed by their Chief, remain
ed inside picking out the rioters from the
various parts of the building, while outside
a troop of cavalry and a bodv of the Po
lice were kept at bay by the mob.
The cavalry, from some cause or other,
did not arrive on the ground until near 9
o'clock, when the police conquered the ri
oters inside.
All the doors were guarded by police
and strongly barred inside, which preven
ted the mob from breaking in, although
some uneasiness prevailed, lest an attempt
would be made to fire the building.
The N. Y. Globe continues the fright
ful narrative:
Between eight and nine o'clock the mob
outside was increasing each moment in
numbers and ferocity. Several of the Po
licemen had been brought in severely
wounded, one or two of the entrances were
forced, and as imminent danger was ap
prehended, Mayor Woodhull, who was
present, gave orders to Gen. Sandford to
bring the military into the melee. The
order was promptly obeyed, and in a few
minutes several companies of the Nation
al Guard were placed in position around
the theatre.
They were at first greeted with hisses
and groans, but in a short time, just after
the curtain fell on "Macbeth," the paving-
stones began to be huilcd at them, and
many of them were very severely, if not
fatally injured. They stood this pelting,
however, like veterans, nearly half an
hour, only removing their comrades inside
the theatre, as fast as they were struck
down. At the solicitation oi the Chief
Police, Mr. Recorder Tallmadge, amid
shower ot missiles, ventured his life to
warn them off. The caution was unhee
ded, and the Mayor and Sheriff Wester
velt being called to the scene, the order
was finally given to fire!.
A platoon of the National Guard in
stantly answered the summons! a number
of the mob fell, and among them a noted
convict from the State Prison. The riot
ers then retreated in confusion, but soon
rallying, they came on more determined
than ever, and it was only until three more
vollies had been discharged into the exci
ted crowd, that they were induced to re
tire. Probably two hundred balls were
fired, of which twenty took effect. As
near as we could learn, twelve or thirteen
are killed outright, and eight or ten woun
ded. The Tribune states the number of kill
ed to be 15 and the wounded 25. Sever
al persons killed or wounded took no part
in the riot, but were drawn to the spot by
imprudent curiosity, or happened to be
passing within range of the musket-shot.
Two pieces of artillery, charged with
grape, were brought on the spot.
The Herald mentions the following in
cidents:
In the midst of the firing, one of the
Harlem Railroad cars stopped in the vi
cinitv, for the purpose of allowing an el
deny gentleman to get out. As soon as
he had put his foot on the step, in the act
of descending, he was pierced by a mus
ket ball, and fell dead. It was found that
he was shot through the heart. He was
removed to the drug store at the corner of;
Eighth street.
At toe nitcenm ward station house, on
a bench at the end of the room lay the dead
body of a tall, genteel looking man, whose
name we ascertained to be George W.
Gedney, brother to a broker in Wall street
He had been shot throiigh the brain
JV-x ?o him u h m tnof milrl!f-
xfntur'.
apparently an Irish laborer. He had been
shot in the throat. Beside those victims
on the floor lay the body of a young man,
named Henry Otten, whose parents reside
at the corner of Orchard and Hester
streets.
The next victim was a poor Irish wo-
man, named undget ragan. we tound
her lying on a mattress, on the floor of one
of the female wards widi a frightful gun
shot wound in the right knee. Her hus
band was on his knees beside her. They
had gone out together, after he had return
ed from his daily labor, to purchase a few
shirts, and were returning to their humble
home, when unfortunately, they passed
directly in range of the fire of the military.
IS ever can we forget the heartfelt pathos
with which the poor man remarked that
his wife fell out of his arms like a child,
when the military fired.
A musket-ball went through the hat of
one man, tearing it to pieces, but without
injuring him. A policeman, of the Sev
enth ward, received a flesh wound in the
back, and had a narrow escape from being
killed.
The New York Enquirer in its detail
ed remarks, says:
ine icecorder, Air. lallmadge, 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 fire. They fired first upon the
squad between them and the Bowery,
and 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 discharge
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.
Every one seemed astounded all were
intensely excited and all who had taken
part in, or sympathised with the rioters,
were exasperated to the highest pitch.
Three attempts were made to set fire
to the building by persons inside, main
ly we believe under the floor of the para
quette. They were all discovered how
ever, and at once extinguished. About
thirty of the ringleaders were arrested,
handcuffed, and rnnfinprl in th flncra

After the firing had ceased and the mili
tary had firmly occupied the ground, the
rioters were scattered m squads through
the streets. We passed, at different times
through every part of the crowd which
could not have numbered less than 25,000
persons; and yet among them all, we do
not believe there were more than five hun
dred, if there were so many, who took an
active part in the riot.
1 he Editor of the Tribune remarks:
Men have been shot down in the streets,
and sorrow is in homes where else it
would not have appeared. The event is
terrible and the excitement intense.
At this hour we cannot help thinking
the intervention of the military, with ball
cartridges, uncalled for. But we are not
now able to judge clearly of the matter.
It is too fresh, too shocking, too far beyond
our extremest anticipations. iMoreover
the facts are not known with sufficient
certainty, and it is impossible, to forget
that such aflairs are always exaggerated.
A thorough and impartial judicial investi
gation will let us know the truth, and then
the press and the public can bestow blame
where, and in such degrees as it is de
served. The True Sun says: This is unques
tionably one of the most unhappy occur
rences which has ever taken place in our
city. A fearful responsibility rests some
where. While in the present state of ex
citement which prevails, we will not per
mit our feelings to induce us to aggravate
this responsibility, we must speak deci
aeuiy upon the course pursued by our
public authorities. It was wrong. There
was no necessity for calling out the mili-
tary. If there was, the house should have
been closed, and the performance stopped.
The mayor committed a most unfortunate
blunder, to cah it by its mildest name, m
calling out the troops. The police would
have been all sulhcient. i here was no
disturbance of a serious character until the
military came on the ground. 1 heir pre
sence caused the excitement which brought
about the result.
The New York Sun mentions the fol
lowing "aid" to the excitement:
Placards were posted about the streets
yesterday, calling on Englishmen to rally
and support Mr. Macready, and denoun
cing the rioters on Monday night as
"pack of curs."
New York, May 11 8 P. M.
A proclamation lias been issued by the
Mayor, declaring that the peace of the citv
shall be preserved at all hazards. The
excitement is evidently on the increase
and fears are entertained that the rioters
will make fresh demonstrations to-night.
SECOND DESPATCH.
New York May 118 P. M.
A very large meeting is now being held
in the Park. Sharp speeches have been
made, and still sharper resolutions passed,
condemning the military movement of last
night. :
The military are drawn up in the Bow
ery, and appear determined to crush every
thing in the shape of noting.
l he Astor 1'iace upera iiouse is now
in possession of the military. The street"
leading to the Theatre are filled with peo
pie, and threats have been openly made to
fire the building. I he managers have an
! notin'f
t
d thir intention to closr thr rsfan-
lishment, which has partially allayed "puoYi
nc excitement. i
All quiet at present -but no one can
conjecture what the evening may bring
forth.
THIRD DESPATCH HALF PAST 1 1 O CLOCK.
The military have got peaceable posses.
sion of the streets and the Theatre. The
collection of persons are now dispersing.

The New York papers of yesterday
have the following:
Montreal. Mav 1. A deputation of
French Canadians, to congratulate (Lord
Elgin, on the quiet state of the coimtiy,
arrived in town this morning from Qiebec.
A large mob was prepared oa the
wharves to receive them. They 4were,
however, landed at the Longuil ferry, a
bout a mile below the city.
It is feared, should they go down again
by the steamer that the boat will be at
tacked. Mr. Boulton will move in the
house of Assembly to-night, for a dissolu
tion of the Union of the two provisoes.
An address, calling upon the people of
the city to keep the public peace, signed
by the most influential members of the
conservative party, is to be sent out to-
nicrht. Tntpllirpn(e has reached town
from Toronto of an immense meeting hav
ing been held, and a petition to the Queen
to recall Lord Elgin and dissolve ran la
ment, decided on. News from Kingston
is to the same effect.
It was reported this morning, that a dep
utation was coming from Quebec, to pre
sent an address to the Governor uenerai.
This created a great deal of excitement,
and a large mob, numbering some six or
seven thousand, assembled to prevent meir
ndinor. but notwithstanding their ettorts
to prevent them, the deputation succeeded
in effecting a landing at the Cross, about
three miles below Montreal.
Large meetings are being held in Tor
onto and Kingston, and numerous petitions
are getting up to her Majesty, the Queen,
for a recall of Lord fclgin. .
A Strike. Quite a serious leakage oc
curred in the Delaware Division last Wed
nesday or Thursday, about fourteen miles
below Easton. It happened at a place
where the bottom of the Canal was lime
stone soil, and this giving way, formed :
kind of sink-hole. The water wasimme
diately drawn off, and the injury promptly
lUiirh is owinjr to the energet-
ic officers of the canal tor so iaitniuuy
guarding the interests of the Common
wealth as well as the business community.
This leak occasioned the detention of a
number of boatmen, among them a large
number in the employ of the Lehigh Coal
and Navigation Company. The latter
concluded to take advantage of the meet
ing, and get up a strike for higher wages.
If we are correctly informed, the Company
reduced their wages 5 cents per ton from
Mauch Chunk to Philadelphia, upon the
prices paid last year; they now demand an
increase of ten cents per ton upon the pres
ent prices, or five . cents more than was
paid them last season. They oblige all
boats in the Company's employ, whether
coming up or going down, to stop here.
We are told that they also stop the Beaver
Meadow, Buck mountain and other Com
panies' boats. The Lehigh Canal is filled
with boats a distance of 5 or 6 miles above
Easton, and so is the Delaware Canal, for
several miles below the Collector's office.
When we visted the Lehigh Basin yester
day morning,' there were probably 300
boats in the rirer. forming a complf te

Within a few months from the present
time, nine men and one woman will, accord

mother and child of her adopted father.
Washington Goode, colered, at Boston,

tress. The Rev. Ezra Dudley, at Haver
hill, N. II., for the murder of his wife
while returning with her from a praj'er

tion zeal, of a white young man, who
presumed, in conversation with a compan
ion, to say something about "niggers."

Alex. Jones, colored, at New York, 22d
June, for arson. And there are some half
dozen late murder committals yet to be
tried. Truly will the annals of the scaf
fold be not the least remarkable feature in
the history of the year 1849, in these Uni
ted States.
An Old Trick in a New Way.
During the past few days, the following
circumstance has been the general topic of
conversation in the village of Horton. On
Tuesday week one of th$ inhabitants, who
has long boasted of superior wit and wis
dom, and who in his trading transactions
has always exhibited a considerable de
gree of jealousy and suspicion, tooa it into
his head to attend the fair which is held
annually at Wibsey. He had not been"
long on the ground before he was accosted
in a familiar style by a pretended "old
friend," who offered him ten shillings if
he would purchase for himself a horse,
which he pointed out to him. The pros
pect of snugly pocketing the half-sovereign
induced this sapient individual to comply
with his request. The stipulated price
was to be .14, and no more; and after a
good deal of bantering the bargain was
struck at that sum exactly. The purcha
ser not being possessed at that moment of
paying for it, and his "friend" not being
just then at hand, he proceeded to Horton,
and borrowed three five pound notes of a
neighbor, with which he returned to Wib
sey. The horsedealer was readily found,
and as readily was the money paid. A
nother man (evidently an accomplice) was
then requested to go and deliver him the
horse; but on going to the stable, the ani
mal could nowhere be found. He then
returned to the place where he had left the
horse dealer, and discovered that he also
had decamped. Filled with vexation and
chagrin at being thus defrauded of both his
horse and the money, he flew to the place
where he had appointed to meet his
"friend,' and, alas! to his additional grief,
he found that he had also deceived him and
made himself scarce; and, as a climax to
the whole, the sovereign he had received
in change out of the notes, upon examina
tion, turned out to be a counterfeit. Eng

The First Wedding.
Major Noah thus pleasantly and philo
sophically discourses upon the "first wed
ding. He says:
" We like short courtships, and in this
Adam acted like a sensible man. He fell
asleep a bachelor, and awoke to find him
self a married man. He appears to have
popped the question almost immediately
after meeting Md'lle Eve. and she, with
out any flirtation or shyness, gave him a
kiss and herself. Of this first kiss in this
world we have had, however, our own
thoughts, and sometimes in a poetical
mood, have wished we were the man "wot
did it." But the deed is done, the chance
was Adam's, and he improved it.
We like the notion of getting married
in a garden. It is in good taste. We like
a private wedding. Adam s was private
No envious beaux were there; no croaking
old maids; no chattering aunts and grumb
ling grandmothers. The birds of Heaven
were the minstrels, and the glad sky flung
its light on the scene.
One thing about the first wedding, brings
queer thoughts to us, in spite of the scrip
tural truth. Adam and his wile were
rather young to be married, some two or
three days, according to the sagest specu
lations of theologians, mere babies, larger
but older w ithout experience, without
house, without a pot or a kittle, nothing,
but love and Eden.

Didn't Like the Meat -A great fuss
was
raised in Baltimore the other day in
oonsfqueoce of the rlisfovery of the car-
case of a dog regularly skinned and dress
ed, being observed hanging in the siaugn
ter-houseofa Mr. Charles Loney. So
exeat was the excitement caused by the
discovery, that Mr. Loney appeared be
fore a magistrate and asked an investiga
tion of the matter. One of his journey
men aDDeared. and took oath that he had
seen the dog on the commons, and having
taken a fancy to his hide, he killed and
skinned him, intending to get it tanned to
make a paii of boots, This, however, by
no means gave satisfaction, as he failed to
produce the carcase. Heaven only knows
when he will get bact his oia cusiom.-

A Prophet.
The editor of the New York Mirror
a well known Taylor Whig thus
com
forts the new Administration:
"We do not belong to the family of the
Croakers. We are, by nature, sanguine,
hopeful, and confident to a fault. Yet we
cannot shut from our mind the painful
truth, nor see as though we saw not, the
present indications that the Administration
is in danger of being in the minority in the
lower House at the next session of Con
gress. Virginia is lost within the fraction
of a single member; the only man claim
ed by the Whigs, in name, is said to have
in his composition nine parts of Locolo
coism to one of Whigism. The good old
Conservative State of Connecticut must
now be ranked with the opposition, at
a a
least in the Councils of the nation, and we
apprehend a similar result will follow the
election in the btate of Maryland.
In the next Congress there is already a
majority against the Administration on
joint ballot, and we greatly fear that the
Executive will find himself in the minority

Antiquity of Gunpowder.
The first application of Gunpowder to
the firing of artillery, had been commonly
ascribed to the English at the battle of
Cressy, Angust 134G; but hitherto this fact
has depended almost solely on the evi
dence of a single Italian writer, coupled
with the circumstance that the word "gun-
ners nas been met with in some public
accounts of the reign of Edward III. Up
on this point, the Kev. J. Hunter has late
ly communicated to the Society of Anti
quaries some new and curious particulars,
derived from records ot the period, show
ing the very names of the persons employ
ed in the manufacture of gunpowder, (out
of saltpetre and "quick sulphur," as it was
called, without any mention of charcoal,)
and the quantites supplied to the King just
previously to lus expedition to trance, in
June or July, 1346. In the records, it is
termed pulvis pro tngenis; and they es
tablish that a considerable weight has been
supplied to the English army subsequent
ly to its landing at La Hogue, and prevous-
y to the battle of Cressy; and that belore
Edward III. engaged in the seige of Ca
lais, he issued an order to the proper offi
cers in England, requiring them to pur
chase as much saltpetre and sulphur as
they could procure.
Iron Cinder Roads.
A correspondent of the National Intelli
gencer, says that this article surpassed all
materials for the construction of roads, the
particles being too heavy to be moved by
the wind; and after a rain they rust and
cement together, and by use become per
fectly smooth and solid, and will endure
for a length of time. He suggests that
the middle of the avenue, not paved instead
of gravel, should be covered with iron cin
der, which would make a complete finish,
at little more cost than the gravel, and sur-
pass all other roads or streets in this or
any other country.
As we know a little about such kind of
roads, we presume that the furnace ashes
are meant in the above. They do make
a hard, compact road, after having been
well trod, rolled and pounded. But with
coarse ashes for an underlayer and sitfed
ashes above them to the depth ot six in
ches, then pound the whole well down,
and take our word for it, a road of no com
mon quality will be the result.
Pleasure of Rradin;
Of all the amusements that can possibly
be imagined for a working man, after his
daily toils or in the intervals, there is noth
ing like reading a newspaper or a book.
It calls for no bodily exertion, of which
already he has had enough, perhaps too
much. It relieves his home of its dull
ness. Nay, it accompanies him to his
next day's work, and gives him something
thing to think of besides the mere median
ical drudgery of his every day occupation;
something he can enjoy while absent, and
look forward to with much pleasure. If
I were to pray for a taste which would
stand by me under every variety of cir
cumstances, and be a source of happiness
and cheerfulness to me through life, and a
shield against all its ills, however things
might go amiss, and the world frown up
on me, it would be a taste for reading.

ucie reiauve to uen. Jackson s course
while in the Presidential office, in select-

It says:
He sought young men of character and

pie, and brought them forward by encour
agement and government assistance. He

failed to come to theirlief. , Well do we
remember, how in 1832, hearing 0f the
gallantry of the lad who defended his
mother and sisters against the insurgent
negroes in the Sauthampton Insurrection
in Virginia, the old Hero despatched a
messenger to the 'young hero with the of.
fer of a midshipman's commission in the
Navy, or a place at West Point. And, on
another occasion, we were cognizant of
his voluntary tender of a similar appoint
ment to a voung man, who. at the risk of
his own life, had saved another from
drowning. We also remember how he
was led to appoint Colonel May, of the
dragoons, from an observation of his skill
and coolness in horsemanship. These are
only a few, taken from a crowd of exam
ples to the same effect showing the pro.
found sagacity, honest republicanism, and
true democracy of that illustrious man.
The Siamese Twins were visited by
large crowds of ladies and gendemen du

"They are remarkably polite, good hu

tions readily and satisfactorily. They

quence. 1 heir age is thirty-eight; they
