On the approach of night, the lan tern bearer withdrew ; and the honest tradesmen flattered himself the exhibition was at an end in this, however, he was mistaken. The DAMNING VISION re-appeared on Monday morning, and the mob became more numerous and critoantocr. than they had been on the Saturday.
