As, howevtr, the meeting followed up this step by other irre 6 uliir proceedings, the military were brought flirwarr , , when unhappily they fired into the Exchange, and killed and woundei many individuals, and appre hended others. Several among the killed and those under arrest are respectable shopkeepers and dealers. —We are now perfectly tranquil, but there is no business doing. The soldiery have not committed any outrages since Wednesday last."
