REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE. In our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an other ; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling value and universal import as mast prove, in the fullest sense of the term, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not the income, but the expenditure, of every individual. How this may be effected the following outline of our novel, yet well appreciated business system, will readily show. POSSESSING LARGE ESTABLISHMENTS in most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our concentrated purchases are necessarily ♦ery extensive ; from this cause we are enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash, at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-tentage upon original cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain Cures, from which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as have been seldom, if ever, elsewhere presented, enabling them to effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item " Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief price list will testify to some extent : 10 0 25 0 BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.

T° FLYING DUTCHMAN, THE WINNER OF THE DERBY, 1849. Well done, my lad ! thou art a noble horse, And well hast won the day on Epsom's course. Come let me give thy neck a friendly pat; I will not harm thee, rest assured of that. In vain did Honeycomb and Old Dan Tuck Do what they could to leave thee in the ru.A. Thew didst thou beat, while Vatican and Nunny, Beside thy noted self looked rather funny. The Crowner thou hast crowned, and Vanguard, too, And proved how little Chantrey's legs could dn. The chattering of The Chatterer thou hast hushed, And even past brave Hotspur host thou rushed. Old Fox and Tadmor, Goodwood and The Knout, Thy nimble shanks have beaten out-and-out ; While o'er the land thy triumphs are rehearsed In these few words—" The Flying Dutchman First." Ale ! gallant horse ! the way the Derby closes, Has furnished me a thought or two for Moses. First, like thyself, have Moses ever been Whatever may have come to intervene : • First in the quality of their attire. And first in style —a style which all admire. Tne Trousers, Coats, and Vests, of M. and Son Have gained the odds of a successful run ; And all who view the articles will find That competition's efforts lag behind. Thus, Flying Dutchman, have I done my duty, And now a word to those who win the booty : To such successful winners I would say, Improve the winnings of the Derby Day. And if they ask how this may best be done, I'd simply point to Messrs. H. and Son. LIST OF PRICES. BEADY MADE.

THEATRE ROYAL.—Our theatre this week has had peculiar attractions, sterling pieces having been per formed each evening. On Tuesday, Mr. George Owen made his appearance in A .lVew Way to Pay Old Debts, and sustained the difficult :part of Sir Giles Overreach in a very able manner. Thu .other characters were also creditably sustained. On Tuesday Mr. Owen ap peared as Macbeth. and was ably supported by Mr. Pritchard as Macduff, and by that talented actress Mrs. Dyas, as Lady Macbeth. On Thursday the play was Richard the 7 bird. Mr. Owen was very flatteringly re ceived each evening. This uctor's superior talent has been publicly recognised O. over the country. At Devonport, be was presen ted with a beautiful silver snuff box; at Newcastle-u,:pon-Tyne he received a valuable watch and guard, for his representation of Macbeth; and at Forth the officers of the 33d Regiment presented him with a splendid chain for his representa tion of the same character. - Last night he played Shy. lock, in the Merchant of Venice, before a highly respect able auditory, and Mrs. Beaumont Owen appeared as Clara. in Charles the Second- This lady is mother to Mr. George Owen, and daugblter of the late Dr. Browne, of Trinity College, Dublin ; Ids o late of the Covent-gar den and Haymarket theatresi, and the Queen's Concert Room, London. Mr. George 'Owen will make his last appearance this evening in The Iron Chest.

[We yesterday published a summary of the news received by the steam-ship America; we now sub j.)in the interesting details.] NEW YORK, MAY 18.—The letters brought by the Cambria, last week, showed that Forrest's (the American actor's) attempts to drive Mr. Macready from the New York stage, had, by the aid of a ruffian mob, been so far successful as to prevent Macready going through with the performance of Macbeth on the night of his first appearance. At the time of writing we little dreamed that the city would be thrown into terror, much less that riot and terrible loss of human life would result from continued efforts of some parties to carry out their unjustifiable and lawless designs. New York has now played its share in the revolutionary wars of 1849, its revolution brought about by the quarrels of two actors. Between 20 and 30 persons were killed by the troops, and many wounded. The affair may be thus shortly re lated. After Macready's first reception he had deter mined to leave, and had arranged to do so ; he was, however, persuaded to ma k e anot h er tr i a l, h av i ng re . ceived an address, sign e d b y many o f th e l ea di ng gentlemen of TO Nv wY.ocr.I: IA CHEADY, Esq. York. The following is the letter : " Dear Sir,—The undersigned, having heard that the outrage at the Astor-place Opera House on Monday evening is likely to have the effect of preventing you from continuing your performances, and from concluding your intended farewell engagement on the American e and of assu r i ng y ou th a t t h e stage, take this public method of requesting you to re gcoono;lidseernseyoauhrd respect decision r order p reva ili ng i n t hi s fcom munity will sustain you on the subsequent nights of your performances : " Ambrose L.

Mr. Alacready could not well refuse this request, urged under such a plea. He acceded in the follow ing terms : " TO WASHINGTON IRVING, WILLIAM KENT, &C., ESQS. " Dear Sirs,—l have the honozr of acknowledging your obliging letter delivered to me this day. " It is one I find some difficulty in answering.

" In leaving this country, which has been endeared to my recollection by long and strong attachments, I should not have done you the injustice of associating the American character with the ill-deeds of persons, un happily too frequently to be found in every large com munity; and in the same spirit which would preserve me from a hasty and inconsiderate judgment upon the late occurrences, I assent to your request, honouring and feeling grateful for the sentiment that has dic tated it. " I remain, dear Slav, most faithfully yours, " W. C. MACREADY. " New York Hotel, May 9, 1549," On Wednesday night last, then, in pursuance of his yielding to the wishes of the respectable citizens, Mr. Macready appeared for the second time, to per form the part of Macbeth. The rights of the pro prietors, the rights of Mr. Macready, the rights of those who went to the theatre, the rights, in short, of the peaceable and order-loving portion of the commu nity, were preserved and vindicated ; though only by an appeal to the last resort, and, we are sorry to say, at a fearful cost. A crisis had arrived which it was the duty of the authorities to meet, firmly and effectively; they un derstocd this, and met it promptly, adequately, and definitely. They showed that though forbearing, they could act in time to save the honour, credit, and order of the community whose servants they are. At an early hour the theatre was surrounded by a momently-increasing crowd of people, some of whom evidently actuated by curiosity, many by sinister motives, and some by an appa ren t sense o f supervisory responsibility, which last signalised their interest in the forthcoming events of the evening, by distri buting tickets very freely among the crowd. At nearly seven o'clock a strong detachment of police were marched into the amphitheatre entrance, and immediately a placard was put up there "All sold." Meantime the police had gone in in considerable force below. At the announced hour the doors were opened, and a strong detachment of the police was found to be in possession of a good point in every quarter of the house, above and below. There were just seven ladies present, two of whom were in a private box in the second tier. The overture was played without any demonstra tions of disorder. The witch scene was got through without interruption; and when Macduff appeared he was greeted with very mark e d app l ause by a small squad in the parquettes, and a somewhat larger one in the amphitheatre. On Mr. Macready's first en trance he was greeted with tremendous applause. The house, it was apparent, was in his favour hundreds to one. But there were groaning and hissing, and the party in the parquette directly down to the or chestra was tremendously uproarious, doubling their fists at Macready as he came forward, and bidding him " Be off ! be off!" &c. This was endured for a long time, and the first act was nearly all dumb show. At length the uproar became perfectly frantic, and the friends of order were requested from the stage to keep quiet. About this time the chief of police ap peared in front of the boxes, and ordered the police (who had been marking their men) to take the rioters out from below, and his order was obeyed to the letter. His men did their duty valiantly, and they were taken out, carried down stairs, and put under a strong guard. Meantime the clamour continued above ; and very soon the Recorder appeared in the parquette with his staff of office, accompanied by the chief of police, and called on the police to take out those who were dis turbing the house. This was done, and the rioters were carried below, and put with their companions, amidst the plaudits of the audience. G comprisin g Bogalleryuth w le: atthousands)fe: loafers san wererli in As it grew dark (the curtain was raised at half byvc:euni tn) the A th s e tto c i rm r - o pe w l a d :eb outside, o nt the he of persons, rioters and lookers-on, increased im jmpaueinttsesal Eighth-street (on the north-east of the theatre). ejected, there commenced a perfect bombardment of the house from the outside. Stones were thrown against the windows (which were carefully barricaded inside), and there was one hour of almost uninter rupted smashing of glass, accompanied by the most frantic yells of the mob outside. Some of the stones (and, at times, a volley of them appeared to be thrown together) broke down the barricades in places, came in among the audience, causin— g several of them to leave their seats very precipitately. O ne stone hit the great glass chandelier, and caused a good deal of scattering. But through all this the play went on, and with a comparative possibility o f hearin g i t. Nobody on the stage appeared in the least alarmed, though many of the missiles were falling on the stage, from the outside, very much, by this time. Mr. Macready, particularly, preserved his equanimity admirably. We have never seen the fifth act of Macbeth so splen didly and perfectly performed. From time to time there were pauses in the uproar from outside, and intermissions in the assault of stones. This, in fact, was, at about nine o'clock, entirely stopped on the Eightlrstreet side. The in siders, as it turned out, truly attributed this to the action of the military, which was surrou n di ng th e theatre in force. The rioters were evidently checked in their outrages upon the house for a time; so that the closing scenes in the tragedy were distinctly heard and appreciated. Mr. Macready never acted better. He was called out, and bowed his acknow ledgments of the warm plaudits which greeted him on his appearance. About this time there was a renewal of the din outside; and just as the curtain rose for the farce two members of the National Guard were brought into the boxes, badly hurt by stones from the mob, and medical attendance was demanded for them, which was luckily at hand. During all this a most diabolical hail storm of paving -stones was projected through the broken windows upon the heads of the unprotected audience, who were forced to dodge, as best they might, from the fearful projectiles. The mob outside was in creasing each moment in numbers and ferocity. Several of the policemen had been brought in severely wounded, one or two of the entrances were forced, and as everything appeared like a most fixed deter mination on the part of the rioters outside to destroy the house, and the most imminent danger impended lover its inmates, Mayor Woodhull, who was present, gave orders to General Sandford to bring the Inili• tary into the meles. The order was promptly obeyed, and in a few minutes several companies of the National Guard were placed in position round 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 hurled at them, and many of them were very severely, if not fatally, injured. They stood this pitiless pelting, however, like veterans, and for nearly half an hour submitted, without an effort at retaliation, to the dangerous assault, only removing their comrades in side the theatre so fast as they were struck down. This passiveness on their part seemed, however, only to increase the rage of the infuriated rioters, and at the solicitations of the chief of police, Mr. Recorder Talimadge, amid a shower of missiles, ventured his life to warn them off. The caution was unheeded, and the Mayor and Sheriff Westervelt being called to the seen e—the danger every moment becoming more imminent—the order was finally, very reluctantly, given to fire. To the honour of the National Guard, as citizen soldiers, a platoon instantly answered the summons; a number of the mob fell, and among them a noted convict from the state prison. The rioters then re treated in confusion, but, soon rallying, they came on more determined than ever ; and it was only after three more volleys had been discharged into the ex cited crowd that they were induced to retire. Pro bably 200 balls were fired; between 20 and 30 per sons were shot dead on the spot or have since died, and numerous others wounded. • Mr. Macready made the best of his way out of the town, and is now at Bost on . N o b o dy bl ames hi m i n the slightest degree ; he is supported by all ; even the mob who rioted say he was not to blame. We cannot refrain from expressing the high satisfaction we felt at the noble conduct evinced by the respectable portion of the American audience assembled on that occasion. Their enthusiastic and generous support of Mr. Macready, in which even the ladies joined with determined zeal and cordiality, coupled with the firm ness and dignity with which Mr. Macready sustained himself during the whole of the trying scene, actually converted what was intended for a brutal indignity into a species of moral triumph. The courage and gentlemanly bearing of Macready never wavered for a single moment. Even to the falling of the cur tain, when his personal safety was involved by the hurling and crashing of the chairs at his feet, we could detect no symptom whatever of shrinking or fear. It was indeed a striking exhibition of mental superiority opposed to mere brute force. As a natural consequence great excitement has pre vailed since this sad affair. Malignant efforts were made by placards to draw out a demonstration of British feeling on the subject. The British com munity, however, have taken no part in the matter, having the most unbounded confidence in the will and power of the citizens of New York to uphold their own laws, and protect all who come amongst them. THE RIOTS AT NEW YORK. (Front the New York Weekly Herald) NEW YORK, FRIDAY , MAY It is our painful and melancholy duty to chronicle one of the saddest and most terrible occurrences that ever took place in this city. It is well known that Mr. Macready was driven from the stage of that theatre on Monday evening last, by persons who had attended that establishment for the purpose. On Wednesday, several gentlemen of this city united in writing a note to Mr. Macready, regretting the occurrence, and requesting him to appear again and conclude his engagement, which was to be his last in this country. To this note Mr. Macready replied that he would again perform. Ac. cordingly, bills were issued, and other arrangements made, for his appearance. In the meantime rumours prevailed throughout the city, that the opposition to Mr. Macready's appearance would be persisted in, and that ar rangements had been made to carry this determination into effect. The municipal authorities made their arrangements likewise, and it became evident throughout the day that there would be a serious col lision between the rioters and the authorities, in the event of the former attempting to carry their threat into execution. During Thursday, the probability of such a collision was much discussed by all classes of the com munity, and great and anxious interest felt in the result. As early as half past six o'clock persons began to assemble around the theatre ; and, at about seven, crowds were seen wending their way to the theatre from all parts of the city. By half-past seven there were several hundreds in the street, in front of the Opera House, and the rush to get admittance was tremendous. Tickets for a sufficient number to fill the house were soon sold, and the announcement was made on a placard that no more would be sold. Meantime, the crowd out side was increasing every minute. Every avenue to the theatre soon became densely crowded. Astor-place was occupied by an immense assemblage, almost all of whom bad apparently been attracted by curiosity. The portion of the Bowery ad joining the theatre was also crowded, and, in Broadway, which had at that time been opened for the purpose of constructing a sewer, hundreds of persons were seen crowded together on the top of the mound of earth thrown up from the centre of the street. The house itself was filled to the dome. A great portion of the assemblage in the theatre consisted of policemen, who had been distributed all over the hou se in detached parties. There was not any appearance of an organized party of rioters in the house. When the curtain rose, there was an outburst of hisses, groans, cheers, and miscellaneous sounds, similar to those which interrupted the performance on Monday night. The opening scenes, however, were got through with after a fashion, several persons who hissed and hooted having been seized by the police, and Immediately conveyed to an apartment underneath the boxes, where they were placed under the charge of a posse of the police-officer , . Macready's appearance was the signal for a great ex plosion of feeling. Hisses, groans, shouts of derision assailed him, intermingled with loud cries of " Out with him! out with him!" Large numbers of the auditory started to their feet, and called on the police to eject the individuals who had expressed their disapprobation, and several arrests were made in the manner we have described, each arrest being followed by loud cheers and applause all over the house. It was speedily apparent that those unfriendly to Mr. Macready were in the minority. - - Thus the play proceeded through the first two acts. There had been a great deal of trepidation behind the scenes, but the heroism with which the actors and actresses sustained themselves on the stage is worthy of all praise. The manner of Mrs. Pope, the Lady Mac beth of this melancholy night, deserves the most honourable mention. It was, indeed, a trying scene. Mr. Macready repeatedly expressed to Mr. Hackett his wish to desist, and his desire to avoid any further colli sion with those who were opposed to his appearance; but, amid the shouts, groans, hisses, and arrests by the police, the play, as we have said, went on, much of it in dumb show, but portions of it without much interrup tion. It was supposed, at this moment, that the tumult would bo effectually quelled, for the disturbance in the house became less and less, and even some passages of Mr. Macready's part were heard with a tolerable degree of order. The first persons arrested in the parquette were four young men, who were locked up in the temporary pri son under the boxed which we have already described. In this apartment was a gas-light burning, and the pri soners, pulling up some shavings and pieces of wood, set fire to them. When the policemen opened the door, the place was full of smoke, but the officers speedily extinguished the fire. The prisoners who had attempted this atrocious crime were immediately put in irons. At this moment a shower of stones assailed the windows of the theatre. News then came in from the street, through Captain Tilley, of the 13th ward, that a man, known to be Edward Z. C. Judson, was heading the mob outside, and calling upon them to stone the build ing. The Chief of Police immediately ordered his ar rest, which was promptly effected. In the meantime the assault upon the doors and windows continued. Volley after volley of large paving stones was discharged against the windows. The glass was, of course, in a few mo ments, all smashed to atoms ; but having been barri caded, the windows resisted the attack for some minutes; at last yielding, however, the fragments of glass, and blinds, and barricades being driven iu with violence into the body of the house, great alarm began to pervade the aud'ence. Humours of all kinds—that the house was to be fired—that it was to be blown up, and so on, were cir culated. The ladies, seven in number, who were pre sent, and who, with a heroism that did infinite credit to their sex, had till this moment preserved their equani mity, now became alarmed, as well they might, and shifted their seats to the part of the house not in the rati - e of any of the windows through which the stones and fragments of glass and wood were now flying. At this time the scene within the house was indeed most exciting. In front and rear the fierce assaults of the mob, as they thundered at the doors, resounded all over the theatre, whilst the shouts and yells of the as sailants were terific. Inside, h o wever, all was compara tively quiet. The admirable arrangements of the . Chief of Police and the li~ corder, and the fidelity and intelli gence with which their orders were carried out by the force under their command, secured the peace and safeiy of the interior of th e building. We cannot award too ranch praise to the police for the manner in which they arrested the leading rioters in the house, and making sorties among the crowd outside, secured many of the tingleaders of the mob. As the m: :b increased in magnitude and in the fern , City with which they assailed the building, th e cry arose inside, and also outside, among the peaceable citie zens attreted by a curiosity, which, in such a case, was mos t culpable -- " W here are the militar y?" " Can no thing he done to disperse the rioters?" 6 ` Where's th e Mayor?" Several dispatches were cent to the City Ha)), where the military were stationed. At length, about nine o'clock, the sound of a troop of cavalry coming up Broadway was heard; and in a tow minutes afterwards, two troops of cavalry, of the First Division of the State Militia, and a battalion of the National Guards, were seen approaching the scene of the riot. [PRICE SD. APPEARANCE OF THE MILITARY. A troop of hor.e then turned from Broad% ay into Astor-place, and rode through the crowd to the Bowery, receiving showers of stones and other missiles on their way. The horses became unmanageable, and the troop did not again make its apps arance on the ground. In a few minutes afterwards the National Guard, one of our independent volunteer companies, made their appearance on the ground, and attempted to force a passage through the crowd to the theatre. The mob hissed and hooted at them, and finally attacked them with stones, which were at hand in consequence of the building of a sewer in the neighbourhood. The company were at this period thrown into disorder by the attack made upon them, and retired to Broadway, where they rallied; and made another attempt to reach the theatre. They were hissed and pelted as before with stones, but they succeeded in reaching the desired point. They then endeavoured to form in lino on the side-walk, and while doing so five or six of them were felled to the ground by paving stones, and taken into the theatre in a state of insensibility. Captain Pond, the captain of the com pany, was one of those thus injured. The next officer in command then said to the Sheriff, who was on the ground, that if he did not get orders to fire he and his men would abandon the streets. Accord• ingly that officer directed the company to fire a round over the heads of the people, which was accordingly done, but without effect. The people continued to pelt them with paving stones as before. An order was then given to the company to fire at the crowd, and it was done, two men falling, one shot in the arm, and the other through the right cheek. The first was sent to the hos pital, but the other was found to be dead. After the volley the mob retreated a short distance, but rallied and renewed the attack with greater vigour than before. Paving stones'and other missiles were discharged at them in great quantities; and while the mob was going on, another volley was fired by the military, killing and wounding several more, some of whom were taken by their friends to the drug store, on the corner of Ninth street and Broadway. One young man, named John McKinley, of No. 147, Third avenue, was shot through the body, and taken to a public-house in the neigh bourhood. After this volley the crowd retreated again, and the military and police took advantage of it to form a line across the street at both ends of Astor-place, so as to prevent any connexion between Broadway and the Bowery. Major-General Sandford then issued an order for more troops and two brass pieces loaded with grape to be brought to the scene immediately, as it was ru moured that the crowd intended to arm themselves and renew the attack. It was at this time half-past eleven o'clock, and the additional troops, consisting of several companies and the artillery, reached the scene in dis order. The cannon loaded with grape were placed in front of the theatre, ready in case of a renewal of the attack. NEW YORK, SATURDAY, MAY 12. As will be readily imagined, the excitement through out the city, growing out of the deplorable occurrences of the previous night, was most intense throughout the whole of yesterday. Everywhere little groups of per sons, of all classes, were observed discussing the affair, and expressing their opinions with more or less vehe mence. As an illustration of the absorbing interest felt in the matter, we may state that no fewer than thirty. three thousand five hundred copies of the Herald, con taining our full and-graphic account of the whole me lancholy alLir, were disposed of, and circulated all over the city. Our telegraphic accounts from other cities, brought intelligence that an equally intense excite ment prevailed wherever the heartrending news had been dispatched. Of course, considerable diversity of opinion on all the principal features of the case pre vailed amongst those who were engaged, in the streets and elsewhere, in conversation on the subject. It was manifest, however, that the business had assumed a new aspect in the minds of many, and that it was looked upon by them as involving nothing short of a controversy and collision between those who have been styled the ".exclusives," or " upper ten," and the great popular masses. Some blamed the authorities with no little acrimony—others applauded them. It was gene rally considered, however, among the more intelligent and dispassionate classes, that a proelamation should have been issued by the Mayor, warning the citizens against participating, even in the most passive manner, in any tumultuous assemblage at the Astor-place Theatre or elsewhere, and that an overwhelmning military force should have taken possession of the ground at an early hour, and prevented the gathering of a crowd in the vicinity of the building. Throughout the day rumours were abundant that a riotous organization of the moat formidable character was in progress, and that a still more bloody scene than that of the preceding night might be anticipated. It was said that fire-arms had been purchased and obtained in large quantities by persons riotously disposed. Almost all over the city the tollowiag placard had been posted in the most conspicuous places, attracting crowds of readers: "Americans! arouse! the great crisis has come! ! De cide now whether English aristocrats!!! and foreign rule! shall triumph in this America's metropolis, or whether her own sons, whose fathers once compelled the base born miscreants to succumb, shall meanly lick the hand that strikes, and allow themselves to be deprived of the liberty of opinion —so dear to every true American heart. Americans! come out! and dare to own your selves sons of the iron hearts of '76!! AMERICA." A still larger placard, of which we give a copy, was also posted, calling for a meeting in the Park:— " To the Park !—The citizens of new York, opposed to the destruction of human life, are requested to assemble in the Park, at six o'clock, this evening!! Friday, May 11, to express public opinion upon the lamentable oc currence of last night." It was then apparent that an attempt was in progress, of some kind or another, to give an expression of feeling which might lead to unpleasant consequences. The authorities were not inactive. A long consultation was held by them in the morning. The lessee of the Astor place Theatre announced his design to close the house for the present. Orders were issued to the military to be in readiness at any moment, and the following proclama tion was issued by the Mayor, and dispersed all over the city:— AUDITORS. I Samuel Field, Esq.

The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify. HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquished at any time without payment of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure for the first five years at little more than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums aro assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PARTNERsIIIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested.

" The Mayor of the city, while deeply deplbring the loss of life which has resulted from the maintenance of the law during the past night, reminds all t'-le citizens that the peace of the city must be maintained. " Ha calls on all good citizens to sustain the magis- tracy. The efforts of the authorities will be considerate —will be humane; but they ought to be, and must be firm. " He recommends all citizens for some days to remain as quiet as possible within their own dwellings, and to abstain from swelling public assemblages, and from all acts that tend to encourage the riotously disposed. " The effect of crowds is to expose the innocent to the injury arising from the measures which must be taken. " The peace of the city must and shall be maintained, by the whole civil and military power of the county. " It must always be remembered that the military is but a portion of the police of our city, composed of our own fellow-citizens, who havo volunteered to maintain the supremacy of their own laws.

The grand jury of the Court of Sessions, deeming conciliatory measures called for, yesterday made the following presentment:— " To the Hon. the Court of Sessions of the City and County of New York. " The grand inquest, taking into consideration the highly excited state of the public feeling, growing out of the riot of the last 24 hours, would present the neces sity of adopting such conciliatory measures as may tend to allay the excitement, and recommend that the per formance at the Opera House be suspended for the present. (Signed) "JOHN CAMPBELL, Foremar. " New York, May 11, 1849." Mr. Campbell, the foreman of the grand jury, said to the Court:—The grand jury will cheerfully co-operate in any measures thought necessary for the preservation of the peace of the city. The Recorder stated to the grand jury that he would lay their communication before the Mayor. He thanked the inquest for their proffe red rid, and so dismissed them. MR. MACREADY'S DEPARTURE FROM THE CITY. (From the New York Weekly Herald, of May ii.) Mr. Macready left the New York Hotel, where he was living, and departed from the city at three o'clock yesterday morning, accompanied by several of his friends. He expressed his determination to return no more for ever. His baggage was taken away yesterday morning, at five o'clock, in charge of a friend. After the firing of the first round from the military, a friend of Mr. Macready told him that there had been bloodshed, which seemed to affect him very much. He threw up his hands and exchimed, " My God, has my appearance led to the sacrifice of human life! I wish I had adhered .to my first reso lution, and not yielded to the solicitation of my friends. They assured me there would be no diffi culty." lie then retired to his dressing-room) and prepared to leave the theatre. After havin g got safely to the New York Hotel, it was deemed pru dent by himself and friends that h e should leave the c ity as soon as possible, lest a n attack should be made upon that house. The un if orm o f u soldier was pro cured, and in that dis gu i se h e l e f t the hotel, on horse back, for New Rochelle, where he could wait for the i first morning t ra i n f or B oston. It is said that he passed through a porti on o f t h e crowd of the city, b u t did not exc i te their crowd, on suspicisionway outlie was accompani e d b y severa l military officers, who acted as an escort and body guard, until he was clear of the city. The following is a list of killed : George W. Gedney, aged 30 years, broker, 18, Wa;l. street; shot thiough the head. W. Butler, aged 27 years, shipjoiner, resided at 23, Thompson-street; shot in the left temple. Neil Gray Mellis, Equor business, aged 30 years ' re sided at 119, Gr a nd -Ere c t ; s h o t th ro u g h the jaw and head. Timothy Burns, aged 18 "Oars, a printer, resided at 472, Pearl-street; shot through the right lung. Mathew Callan, aged 28, labourer, resided in 12th street and First-avenue ; shot through the neck. Thomas Balman, aged 20 years, labourer, resided in 12th-street and lst-avenue ; shot in the abdomen. George W. Taylor, 21 years, resided at No. 215, Varick-street, a carpenter; shot in the head. Thomas Kearnin, 23 years, a waiter; shot through the right cheek. Timothy M•Guire, aged 19, late resident at 107, 13th street, was standing immuliately opposite the main en trance to the theatre, and at the first discharge of mus ketry received a ball which entered the abdomen on the left side midway between the pelvis and the ribs, passed through the body, and escaped almost two inches on the right of the spine. He died a few hours after receiving the wound. A Mr. Kelly received a mortal wound, causing al most instant death. George W. Brown, aged 21 years. This young man received a musket-ball through the left lung. Henry Otten, grocer, corner of Delancey and Orchard streets, was shot through the stomach, and died in the 15th ward station-house while we were there. John H. Jones received a mortal shot. He resided at 219, Sullivan-street. Andrew M'Kinley, aged about 25 years, shot through the chest. He resided at 147, 3d-avenue. George Lincoln, 30 years of age, resided at 139, Walker-street. Ball took effect in the groin and came out of his back. On Saturday, at six o'clock, a meeting was held in the Park, at which the following violent resolutions were adopted :• " Fellow-citizens,—ln view of the deep disgrace that has fallea upon our city in consequence of the conduct of some of our citizen rulers last evening, the following resolutions are submitted for your consideration:— " That we love the p eace , are l aw - a bid i ng citizens, and devoted to the welfare of this, the first city of the union; but, above all, we cannot sanction the murder of innocent men by those whose sworn duty it is to pro tect them in all the rights of American citizens. " That we believe it is the duty of our city authorities if a riot takes place, or if they have good reason to believe that a riot, involving the destruction of life or property, will take place, to exhaust the civil power of the county before resorting to the military, which is, in fact, the right arm of despotism, and ought to be the last resort of Americans. And here we must condemn the mayor of our city for not causing the Astor-place Opera house to he closed, when he knew (as he says) that a riot would ensue if it were opened. " That we look upon the sacrifice of human lives in the vicinity of the Astor-place Opera-house, last night, as the most wanton, unprovoked, and murderous out rage ever perpetrated in the civilized world ; and that the alders, abettors, and instigators, of that unparalleled crime deserve, and shall receive the lasting censure and condemnation of this community. " That in our opinion it is the imperative duty of the grand jury of this county to indict the mayor, recorder, and the sheriff of this city, for ordering the military to fire on the citizens daring the disastrous and bloody tragedy of last night. " That we mingle our tears and lamentations with the mourning friends and relatives of the men, women, end children, who have fallen victims to the pride, tyranny, and inhumanity of those who dressed in a little brief authority,' have shown a higher regard for the applause of those who courted a fatal issue than for the lives of their fellow-citizens. " That we Hill attend the funerals of our murdered fellow-citizen'. " That a committee be appointed by the chairman to take testimony in relation to the lamentable affair of last night, for the purpose of presenting it to the proper au thorities and our fellow-citizens, " That we owe it to ourselves, to the high character of our city, to the genius of our institutions, to the vin dication of a large body of our fellow-citizens from the opprobrious and unfounded charges made against *them, to prove to our and their revilers that we respect the rights of others, are neither destructives nor law breakers, and, therefore, will not counsel or countenance the destruction of life or property. " That while we are opposed to all violence in theatres or elsewhere, we still iesist that citizens have a perfect and indisputable right to express their approba tion or disapprobation in all places of public amuse ment; and we regard the arrest and imprisonment of persons last night, for merely expressing their opinions in the Opera-house, as only surpassed in atrocity by the outrage perpetrated outside among the people." Several other meetings of a similar character took place. The Coroner's inquest upon the bodies of the suf ferers, after sitting tor three days, returned the follow ing verdict:— We believe that George A. Curtis. John M'Donald, Thomas Aylward, George Lincoln, Timothy Burns, Henry Otten, George W. Brown, William Butler, George W. Taylor, Owen Burns, Thomas Bulman, Niel Gray Meals, Asa F. Collins, William Armer, Thomas Kearnin, Matthew Cahill, and George W. Ged ney, came to their deaths by gunshot wound", fired by the military during the riot before the Opera-house on Thursday evening, the 10th of May instant, by order of the civil authorities of the city of New York; and that the circumstances existing at tho time justified the authorities in giving the order to fire upon the mob. We further believe that, if a large number of the police had been ordered out, the necessity of a resort to the use of the military might have been avoided. " Js. 11. PERKINS, foreman Wm. BANTA, 0.

"New York, May 14, 1849." There were yet several inquests to be held on the bodies of those who had died since the above jury was impannelled. This verdict, however, will, in all proba bility, regulate others in a great measure. Twenty-two persons in all had died up to the evening of the 15th, and thirty wounded remained, some of whom were not expected to survive. The following statement has been published by the friends of Mr. Macready:— "It is due to the feelings of Mr. Macready, who can not in his own person address the public after the mourn• ful occurrences at New York, that an authentic state ment should be made, from which every right-minded man will be able to judge how far he is responsible for what has been done. It would have been preferable that such a statement should emanate from persons in New York well acquainted with most of the facts, and who, we doubt not, at the proper time, would have been ready to make a just representation of them to the public; but Mr. Macready has been compelled to leave that city, and as he is necessarily here for a short time before leaving the country, the undersigned have thought that justice to him, as well as the duty of hospitality, and a due re gard to public opinion, require that some citizens of Boston should obtain from Mr. Macready some particu lar s with a view to their publication. The undersigned have accordingly done so, and submit the following state• men:. of what they believe to be the f ac t s: — - - - " Mr. Macready arrived at New York on Friday, the 27th of April, with a view of taking there his farewell of the American stage. On the evening of the same day be concluded an engagement with Messrs. Hackett and Niblo, to act at the Astor-place Opera House for four weeks, cemmencing on Monday evening, the 7th of May; and the fact of his having made this engagement was immediately announced in the newspapers, and after wards placarded through the city. The space of 10 days, therefore, intervened between the public announce ment of hia proposed appearance and the evening of his first performance. In this interval, from no quarter whatever, and by no channel, public or private, did Mr. Macready, living at one of the most public hotels in the city of New York, receive any intimation that his re. ception was likely to be unfriendly, or that any disturb ance would be created at the theatre, until he went upon the stage in the character of Macbeth, on Monday even ing, the 7th of May. " Mr. George T. Curtis, of this city, a friend of Mr. Macready's, was at New York from the morning of Thursday, the 3d of May, until the afternoon of Satur day, the sth, and states to us that he neither heard from Mr. Macready, with whom be bad much conversation respecting his professional reception in the country, nor from any other person, the slightest intimation that any disturbance was apprehended. As the applause, how ever, which greeted Mr. Macready's first appearance on that occasion subsided, his ear was struck by sounds of another character, which gave him the first warni ng Nell in th e n month and known, ow he had received that his reception ofr owasi at followed N , vv w likely (d is York to be in any res pect different from what it had been at New Orlea ns , or on ot the e October m Richmond,o morning or n g last. o f wh at Baltimore ,e `Tuesday ed Mr. Ma crea d y i n f ormed Mr. himself abs o l ve d f rom a repetition.should Oa not app ear aga i n at the ny requires engagement, Hackett that ah and e ons Opera-house, and immediately se America to have a p assage takenfnotr t England; hut steam-ship h e m a , l h so ie t h oo h l e c h im ee m e e in d e ia e t p e m ot the ee eveningc itym ig ht of b Tuesday, u a u m bl e is a h s e u d re i a n d t . e hope that all excite n ey t: h print the documents Mr.e city Washington Irving an d othtehres, Bth the letter espeeta of respectable persons, as d ee pl y i nterested in preserving the peace of th as any person can be, was presented to Mr. Macready, requesting him to go on with his engagement. lle found on Wednesday morning the state of public opini.n to be entirely on the side of order, and strong, in every form of expression, in i:s con demnation of his assailants; he was told by persons of the highest respectability, in and out of official station, that there would be no disturbance, on a second appear ance, which he ought to regard, or which could net be checked by the police in its ordinary action; and the press of the city, almost without exception, spoke so se verely of the conduct of his assailants, that he, reasoning from his own experience of the manifestation and power of public opinion in similar cases, felt at last convinced that he ought to consent to re-appear. It was his own opinion, however, that the second performance ought to be postponed to Friday evening, to give time for all ex citement to subside, and to allow the circulation of documents, which the press, with great unanimity, has declareddisproved every charge that has been brought against him. In this he was overruled by the judgment of those who represented to him, that the sta'e of public opiniLia was so entirely on the side of order, that a delay so long as Friday might cause a relaxation, and give opportunity to turbulent spirits again to attempt breaches of the peace. Under these views bit.. Macready prepared his answer to Mr. Irving and his associates. " At the rehearsal, on Thursday morning, no appre- hension was expressed by any one as to the success of
