L h ' AO' \ '', i SECOND EDITION: ientn nit ..N‘k LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 29, 1844. The South Lancashire election has terminated in the return of a monopolist, and yet its result is a decisive triumph of Free Trade. A very large majority of the freeholders gave their support to BROWN, but their votes were swamped by the tenants-at-will, of whom more than four thousand were brought to the towns in feudal array, marshalled by the stewards and land-agents, and held in disci pline by the threat of a summary court-martial, in case of desertion. The election has been also re markable for a new division of parties; many of those landed proprietors who usually side with the Liberals, who became, on t his occasion, warm adherents of the monopolist candidate, regard ing the struggle as one between the despotism of land and the freedom of industry. They stood by their order, and have thus shown the people that, whenever proprietary usurpation is menaced, the landlords, by whatever idle designation of party they may be called, will be found banded together to maintain their unjust and injurious class-ascendancy. This was a lesson which many of the free traders of Lancashire had to learn ; they have been hitherto trammelled by old associations, and fettered by feel ings of attachment to titled leaders ; but they have now been taught the real nature of the struggle in which they are engaged; they now see clearly that the despotism of land, irrespective of petty and party distinctions, is arrayed against them in one compact body, and that they have to contend against an entire class. The array of the serfs, for the tenants-at-will are as much adscripti glelnv as ever were the vassals of a feudal baron, would have been ludicrous if it had not been melan choly. Among the bands thus paraded were many whose sons and brothers depended for subsistence on mills and factories, which furnish them with the employment which the nig gard soil of South Lancashire refuses to an agricultural population ; these poor fellows followed their leaders with manifest, reluctance, casting a wistful eye down the by-roads and cross-streets as if to seek means of escape ; but they were closely watched by the stewards and agents, more closely than are bands of slaves by Brazilian overseers. It is said that a gentleman travelling in the south of England during the war saw four men heavily ironed, securely tied on a cart, and escorted by a file of musketeers. He inquired who the pri soners were, and was informed that they were volunteers from the Tipperary Militia. There was just as much volition in the tenants-at-will, who gave their support to ENTWISLE, as in these truly lajsh volunteers. At no former election did those manufacturers, who are renegades to their own order, and traitors to their class, exhibit such suicidal zeal. They clearly proved the trutli of the old adage, that men set them selves furiously against reason so soon as they discover that reason is decidedly against them. Since the days of Peterloo there has not been a more thorough manifestation of the bitter spirit which animates those who are conscious that they are apostates to the principles of their own natu ral order. The names of those who took a prominent part in the Manchester massacre, and which had for years, for very shame, been withdrawn from public observation, were on this occasion ostentatiously pa raded, as if such persons were anxious to show that even in their ashes glow their wonted fires, The revival of such spectral apparitions of the worst of times revived many slumbering me mories ; but they were still doomed to feel that they could now only command the votes of serfs instead of the swords of cavalry. There was treason in the manufacturing camp—there was union beneath the agricultural banners ; but yet, under all disad vantages, the free traders have improved their position by more than a thousand votes; they have also learned the exact force of the enemy ; they have discovered the elements of falsehood, and therefore of weakness, in their own ranks, and they have thus learned the proper course to adopt in order to ensure future victory. In the due administration of the Poor-law, and the efficient discharge of their duties who are entrusted with the superintendence and protection, the manage ment and control of parochial paupers, every class of the community has a deep interest. It is an interest, indeed, much more immediate and absolute than cur sory observers can readily imagine. So long, how ever, as the inequalities of men's condition, and of the means of maintaining themselves, remain as various. and as fluctuating as social constitutions have left them—that is to say, subject to movements which oscillate between the extremest points of opulence and of penury—so long it is the obvious policy of the fortunate few to consult the feelings whilst they relieve the wants, to respect the sufferings whilst they impose, for the sake of order and decorUm, some necessary restraints upon the personal freedom, of those whom poverty or bodily infirmities have ren dered incompetent, of themselves, to alleviate those sufferings or to supply those wants. It is the interest of the few who enjoy the advantages of competence or the luxuries of wealth to conciliate the many who cannot command the one, and know the other but by name. The neglect of this principle is calculated to precipitate events, the issue of which must always Fe far more disastrous to the possessors of property than to the victims of poverty. But its reckless and - open violation can Work to no other result than to encouL rage, in the pauper masses, the growth of feelings to wards the owners of capital, or of the property it com mands, which, if not checked by the timely manifes tation on the part of the latter of a willingness to relieve all wretchedness that is not culpable—to a cer tain extent, fairly defined and honestly and impar tially acted up to—may eventuate, at any moment, in some appalling and . destructive collision of antagonist classes. On this mere prudential principle, therefore—and without any present reference to the higher and still more imperative requirements of moral duty and of social sympathy—we would plead the necessity for a most jealous and anxious watchfulness as to all cases of imputed cruelty, misconduct, or negligence in the officers and subordinate functionaries, from the high est to' the lowest, connected with the management of the poor, under the new Act. The "First Report from the Select Committee on Medical Poor Relief," together with the minutes of evidence attached to it (ordered to be printed by the House of Commons on the 22d instant), suggests the strongest confirmation of the value of that vigilance we recommend. We must add, it illustrates the defective machinery and unsatisfactory working of a sy s t em w hi c h t oo evi dently renders the Poor-law Commissioners. judges in c ases where, if they themselves b e no t the defendants, their own creatures—subordinates mcu within latinculpated their instant reach and control—certainly are. The Select Committee report that they have consi dered the allegations comprised in a petition refer'red to them of TuomAs KING, schoolmaster, late of the Woodbridge union workhouse, in the county of Suf folk containing a complaint against the Poor-law Commissioners; and that they have also examined Sir Jonzsr WALSII324, one of the Assistant-Commis sioners, in answer to such complaint. This gentle- THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 29, 1844. man's evidence, and the petition, they report to the House; lint without expressing any opinion upon it. The petition of KING to the House of Common; sets forth that during his residence in the Woodbridge union workhouse, he had witnessed, among other heart-rending acts of cruelty and neglect towards the sick and other inmates of that establishment, these : namely—" a poor man, aged 76 years, was cruelly bound to the bedstead, the cord passing three times over different parts of his body, to save the trouble of (the nurse's) sitting up with him, during the night ; in which state he was found dead, cold, and quite stiff on the following morning ;" that pe titioner was acquainted with the names of several other persons who were found dead in their beds, having died in the night time, and on whose bodies no coroners' inquests were held ; that petitioner could prove the facts of two such cases; and of "other two deaths caused by the extreme violence manifested towards the individuals by the officers of the house, and that as to these deaths the absence of a coroner's inquest arose from the expediency of concealment ; that petitioner having, in accordance with a sense of duty, repeatedly petitioned the Poor-law Commis sioners to institute a full and searching inquiry into these cases, they had refused on the ground assigned in a certain correspondence (which then follows) between petitioner, the Assistant-Secretary to the Board, and the clerk of the Woodbridge union). The petitioner refused, under advice of counsel, to furnish any previous list of witnesses to the Commissioner., from apprehension of their being tampered with." Our readers will probably imagine that there must have been some gross exaggeration in such a cata logue of horrors as KING had thus opened to prove the criminal misconduct of the parties in authority at the Woodbridge union house. We are inclined to be lieve that of exaggeration KING has been guilty to a great extent ; but, that one half, one tithe, of such enormities should appear by the acknowledgement and finding of the Poor-law Commissioners—them selves interested parties, and, we will say, in refer ence to their gratuitous vindication of the unfeeling and most negligent ma.ster and mistress of the union house—implicated parties too ;—that a fraction of these atrocities has been committed, is a fact which calls on Parliament itself for the sternest expres sion of its severe displeasure against the controlling authority; under the jurisdiction of which—large, inquisitorial, and well supported as it is, these criminal delinquencies can have been committed. They are a scandal to the national humanity and civilisation ; a reproach to the county of Suffolk; and a standing testimony to the im becility, as well as the injustice, of that vaunted "Poor-law Commission," whose whole career will have been but one long drain . upon the public purse, and one protracted outrage upon public feeling—if they venture to commit themselves to such a mode of dealing with such offences, as they exhibit in their letter of the 20th of February last to the clerk of the Woodbridge union. An abstract of this report, and of the documents embodied in it, which we give in another part of our paper, comprise this letter ; and to it we earnestly direct the attention of our readers. they dreaded very much. M. de Kalbermattan is operating a general disarming of the Lower Viilais. The troops under the orders of this chief, were to occupy St. Maurice to-day towards eight in the morning. They are also to occupy Monthey and the other communes as far as St. Gingolph. There is no truth in the report of the burning of villages. The only fires were those of the bridges, and of a few de tached buildings." 'We read in the aurrier Suisse :—" In the midst of the sad scenes of the combat of the Trient, where several Lower Valaisian leaders were killed in crossing the torrent, we are well pleased to cite the following fact :—M. Duvay passed without being wounded, but he was made prisoner. The men who had taken him wanted to shoot him on the spot. A cure, whose name, we regret, we are unable to state, pene trated into the midst of them, and said, ' Unhappy men, what are you about to do ? Do you forget that before a pri soner is shot time must be allowed him to prepare for death ? Let me confess him.' Thereupon he took him by the arm, and led him without opposition to some bushes which grew on the banks of the Rhone, and where they were soon hid from sight. The cure returned alone, and when the men asked him what he had done with the prisoner, he replied that he had escaped." THE BOURSE—MONDAY , MAY 27. First Highest Lowest Last Price. Price. Price.

The Royal mail steam-ship, Hibernia, Captain Judkins, has just arrived, having left Boston on the 16th, and Halifax on the 18th. She brings a heavy mail, and a large number of passengers. The dates brought by this arrival extend over a period of fifteen days, no sailing packet having brought late papers since the arrival of the last steamer. The only important intelligence in the papers is the ac count of a dreadful riot that had taken place in Phi ladelphia between the native American and the Irish population, originating, it is said, in some difference about the repeal question. Several lives are reported to be lost, whilst two Catholic churches, two Catholic school-houses, a Catholic nunnery, and nearly 84 dwelling-houses had been burnt down. The power of the authorities and the police appear to have been quite set at nought, and nothing in the way of in terference appears to have taken place till the fury of the mob was spent. The following accounts of these lawless proceedings are taken from the American papers, and they may, therefore, be considered as not too partial to the Irish, who, by-the-by, seem to have beaten the Yankees to their heart's content. When the latter found they could not match the Irish in fighting, in a malevo lent and cowardly spirit, they set fire to the Catholic churches and schools, as well as the dwellings of the poor inhabitants. (From the Philadelphia papers.) The joyful shouts of the peaceful gathering at Baltimore had scarcely ceased to echo through our land, when from her fair sister city of Philadelphia arose the savage cry of an en raged mob, which has enacted scenes of riot and bloodshed, certainly the most appalling that have ever stained our country's history, and almost without a parallel in atrocity and brutality. It appears by the United States Gazette that the Native American party held a meeting on Monday afternoon at four o'clock on a vacant lot at the corner of Master and Second streets, but before the meeting was organised a storm obliged them to take shelter in the market-house near by at the corner of Master and Cadwallader-streets. When the third speaker rose to address the meeting, a man standing at the outside of the crowd was heard to say to another, standing next to him (both of whom are represented to us as being Irishmen), " Now let's make a noise, so that he won't be heard." They forthwith created a noise, and were remon strated with by some of the bystanders, who requested them to let the proceedings of the meeting go on in peace. They would not cease their clamour, and were finally compelled to do so, in consequence of receiving a severe flogging. This fight caused a little excitement, which was raised to an intense degree, in consequence of several shots being fired from the upper windows of the Hibernia hose-house, in Cadwallader-street, fronting the market-house. By this volley several wounds were inflicted, and the native Americans gathered at the meeting, becoming highly exasperated, and the Irishmen having gathered into a mob, they made an attack upon them. A number of shots were fired from the crowd of Irishmen, but they were finally compelled to flee. The native Americans pursued them, and several of the fugitives, finding themselves hotly pressed, darted into houses and up alleys, in order to escape. Several of the houses into which they were seen to enter were immediately attacked, and the front doors and windows of two frame houses in Cadwallader-street, below Master-street, and one in the same street above Master-street, were battered in with stones. Finally, the Irishmen rallied, and beat off the native Ame ricans, and there the contest ended for the time. The worst result _of this disgraceful contest is seen in the loss of life. From the beginning of the affray the shots were frequent, and ono man was killed instantly, and five severely. wounded. The great excitement created in East Kensington by the occurrence was intense. Sheet' M'Michael was early upon the ground, and we learn adopted active measures to prevent further violence. FURTHER PARTICULARS—TWO MEN KILLED. During the evening great crowds of people were gathered in the neighbourhood of the scene of violence in the after noon, and about ten o'clock an attack was made upon a dwel ling-house in Second-street, just above Franklin. A cry was then raised of " Go to the nunnery," and a crowd proceeded up Second-street to Master, at the corner of which is a Roman Catholic school-house. A bonfire was kindled at one corner of the street, and the fence of the school-house set on fire. About this time, when the crowd had halted in front of the school-house, a volley of musketry was fired from the house opposite, and when the crowd had parted, it was dis- Covered that several were wounded; one young man was taken up dead, a bullet having pierced his left breast, just above the heart. Another was shot in the upper part of the left lung with a bullet, and when we left was expiring. We — al were so told that two other men were seriously wounded. The native Americans then retreated, and up to twelve o'clock (midnight) affairs remained quiet. On Tuesday the riots were renewed with terrible atrocity. In Kensington seven men were killed and a large number wounded, and thirtybuildings, including the market-house, were burnt. On the morning of Tuesday handbills were Posted about the city, calling a meeting of native Americans at three o'clock; before the time of meeting, however, a large crowd of persons carried an American flag through the streets, torn and defaced, having on it in large letters "This is the flag that was trampled upon by the Irish Papists." The speakers at the meeting at three o'clock vainly en deavoured to quiet the excitement. An immense body of men, some 3,000, adjourned from the place of meeting to the scene of the atrocities on the day previous at Kensington, where the following barbarous scenes were enacted, as appears by the United States Gazette : Most of those present moved in a body to Kensington (at the corner of Second and Master-streets), and proceeded to organise a meeting, but they had scarcely nailed up their flag (the same that is spoken of above) when a number of boys made an attack upon the Hibernia hose-house. A number of shot were then fired from houses in the vicinity towards the meeting, and the native Americans, after dis persing for a moment, rallied and attacked the hose-house, took out the carriage, ran the hose off the reel, and then broke the apparatus up. The native Americans then (between four and five o'clock) took possession of the market-house, and for the next three hours, the shots 'were frequent from the houses in its western Vicinity. Men were seen lying upon the roofs of a row of houses fronting the market ; and in every place of conceal- Ment near the same .place others were occasionally discovered. ; About fiveo'clock another attack was made upon the hose house, and a large new bell found in it was brought out into the open square and shattered to pieces. Shortly after this a frame dwelling-house next to the hostkouse was fired, and from that time up to nine o'clock in the evening, the flames continued to spread without stay until twenty-nine houses Were consumed, the greater part of them being upon Cad wallader-street, and four upon the street facing the market. About seven o'clock the market-house itself caught fire, and at nine o'clock lay in a heap of ruins. At seven o'clock the First Brigade and two companies of the Third Brigade came on the ground, under the command of General Cadwallader, and formed on Master-street, facing north. Cannon were stationed so as to range on the street fronting the market, and on Master-street westward. A de tachment of two companies, under command of Col. Murray, marched to the north end of the market, and formed a cordon across the street. The military had previously been formed in like manner on Master-street. • The Sheriff then detached a number of his constabulary force (which had preceded the military on their march up), and proceeded to examine all the houses from which shots had been fired; in one of them a man named John Holmes was found, and in the same room in which he was was a rifle heavily loaded. He was brought out and consigned to the care of the military. In the meantime General Cadwallader made a brief ad dress to the great crowd assembled below Master-street, urging them to preserve peace, and to act in co-operation with ,the military. The whole affair rested in the hands of the law, and he was bound to see that the settlement was lawfully made. His brief address seemed to meet the general approbation, and during the entire evening the crowd of per sons collected seemed disposed to let matters rest in the hands of the civil and military force. At half-past eight members of the Carroll House com menced to throw water upon the burning buildings, and succeeded in stopping the progress of the fire northward. At nine o'clock the United States engine arrived on the ground, under escort of a detachment of the Lafayette Light Guards, and immediately went into service. The Assistance engine shortly afterwards went into service, also under an escort of military, and shortly afterward nearly the whole Fire Department were upon the ground. The fire was then stayed, but not until a vast amount of property was destroyed. The result of the few hours during which the contest between the native Americans and the Irish raged was that seven men were killed and five mortally, and 16 more or less dangerously wounded, among them was one who was wounded by a shot fired by John Taggart. A negro, sitting in the market-house, immediately fired at Taggart, and seve ral shot struck him in the forehead. Taggart then ran into a house, but a number of the native Americana rushed in and made him a prisoner. He was conducted down to Alderman Boileau's office, who, upon the oath of the spectators, committed him to Mova mensing prison. He left the office in charge of two officers and a number of citizens, but when near Beaver-street the crowd took him violently out of the hands of his conductors, tied a rope round' his neck, and dragged him some distance along the street. His captors then passed the rope over the end of an awning post, and pulled him up for the purpose of hanging him, but the beam broke and he fell to the earth ; he was then dragged for some distance, and finally left lying in the street, to all appearance dead. He was, however, alive when taken up, and remained so up t o t en o ' c l ock last night. He cannot , however, survive. S. Abbott Lawrence, a nephew of Abbott Lawrence, of Boston, was standing on the outskirts of the crowd, when a bullet struck him and caused him much pain. It appeared, upon examination, that the ball had struck his waistcoat, and lodged against a cent which was in his pocket, by which its course was stopped. The cent was completely bent up, and the escape of Mr. Lawrence may be certainly considered pro vidential. Sheriff M'Michael was unceasing in his efforts to put an end to the riots. The military were called out at four o'clock in the afternoon, and they were put in motion at seven o'clock. Had they arrived on the ground at four o'clock, the terrible destruction of life would have been prevented, and the confla gration would not have taken place. A meeting of Catholics, we understand, was held last evening at the Cathedral of St. John, for the purpose of con, sidering and adopting measures to allay the excitement, The Bishop of Philadelphia issued an appeal to the Catho lics calling on them to shun all public places of assemblage, and to do nothing that in any way should exasperate. The military remained on (he ground during the greater part of the night. There is reason to believe that the immediate danger is passed and the riot quelled. Most earnestly do we hope that it May be the case. On Wednesday morning the rioting was renewed and a row of frame dwellings, from which the tenants have re moved, were _fired, and soon after another row, likewise untenanted, just in the rear of Cadwallader-street, in the im mediate vicinity of the late fire, were fired and destroyed. A short time afterward, two three story buildings, at the corner of Jefferson and Washington-streets, likewise untenanted, were set on fire and shared the same fate. HALF-PAST Two O'CLOCK.—The Catholic Church, called St. Michael's, on Second-street ab ove M aster, has just been fired, which, with the dwelling of the priest, on the north, and small frame dwellings on th e sou th , are destroyed.

PARIS, MAY 28. The French Government has received the fol lowing The accounts from Madrid are to the 21st. On the evening of the 20th the Royal Family had safely reached Quintanar. The Carlist Chief, long a faithful adherent of Don CARLos, and two of his officers, had heen at last taken prisoner, and shot. The Funds continue to fall. On the 21st, the Three per Cents. were done at 27i 9-16 II I for cash, and 28 at 60 days ; and the Five per. Cents. at 20 for cash, and 2(4 for 60 days. The Paris papers of Monday announce the death of the celebrated banker and politician, M. JACQUES LAFFITTE. The melancholy event took place on Sun day evening, at seven o'clock. He had been suffering for some time from a pulmonary complaint. A favourable change had taken place in the morning, and some faint hopes were entertained of his re covery, but soon disappointed. He was born in the year 1767, and, consequently, had attained his seventy-seventh year. From all accounts, he was a man of very high character, uniformly consistent in his politics, the unbending friend of liberty, and a real lover of his country. Few men ever made such sacrifices for the public good. That the Royal Family of France know well ; and they also know that to him, more than any one individual, LOUIS PEEILIPPE owes his throne, though latterly this excellent man was seldom or never seen at the palace. The follow ing just tribute to his memory appears in the Na tional:—" Al. JACQUES LAFFITTE died last evening, at seven o'clock, contrary to the hopes enter tained a few hours before of preserving him. At four his state appeared more satisfactory, and it was only at six that the change came on which in a short time terminated his existence. Up to the last moment M. LAFFITTE preserved his intellectual faculties fully, and he had the consolation of once more embracing those members of his family whom he loved the most. The deep and sincere grief that reigns at this moment in his house would prove, if it was necessary, how excellent was his disposition. Death, in fact, has rarely struck so noble a victim. For more than a quarter of a century the name of M. LAFFITTE has shone forth amongst us at the head of the list of the purest patriots, and for fifty years all persons in distress were accustomed to turn their eyes towards him as towards a Provi dence. M. LAFFITTE committed errors in politics. The generosity of his heart was such that he could not believe in the perversity of which some men are capable, and this generosity rendered Ein more than once their dupe. But the people, whose feeling is so sure, never ceased to regard M. Larrirrn as one of their best friends,- and they were not mistaken. Every one has 'still in his recollection ilie speech by which this great citizen bade farewell this year to the place of President of the Chamber, feeling a presentiment that he should no more ascend that chair, s‘here he had just uttered such unaccus- toured truths. France will not forget those words, IThich are, -as it were, the political testament of M. J. LAFFITrE. She will not forget the man to whom misfortune never applied in vain. It may be asserted that if all those on whom M. LAFFITTI has showered his benefits should attend h:s obsequies, never will a prince's funeral have drawn together in a concourse greater in number, and formed of persons in a higher rank o f lif e : The funeral was fixed for Wednesday (this day), and as it would to a certainty be attended by vast crowds, the authorities were making every preparation for preserving order. The Funds were slightly affected by Lis death, but soon recovered, and the Three per Cents. closed at the prices of the previous day 84f. 65c. We learn by the Swiss journals that the fighting - in the Valais had entirely 'ceased: The forces Of the Upper Valais have been completely successful in their conflict with those of the Lower Valais, "which are so Isurganised that there is little chance of their being to rally. Mcst of the other Cantons have called out troops for the protection of their respective terri tories. The Canton of Vaud have even sent a batta lion into the Valais. The question of convoking an extraordinary Diet for the adoption of measures for the maintenance of general tranquillity, has been re solved affirmatively by several of the Grand Councils. The Nourelliste Vaudois of the 24th has the following, under the head of Lavey, May 21 : "The engagement which took place this morning in the defile of the Trient was an effort made by the entire column of the Lower Valais to effect their retreat to St. Maurice. The conflict appears to have been long. About 400 men suc ceeded in passing, by wading across the water up to the waist, under a very sharp discarge of musketry. The rest turned back to Martigny, to the number of about 200. There, after having ascertained that they were surrounded on all sides, they dispersed, with a view to escape separately, though without much hope of succeeding. Messrs. Barman and Joris formed part of this second troop; the latter was . slightly. wounded in the forehead. It is understood that they have both succeeded in effecting their escape. The cause is entirely decided, and the struggle is even finished. The Valaisian volunteers who occupied the position in front of St. Maurice have just. returned, in consequence of the de mands made on them to do so. The prefect has given orders not to allow any man in arms to leave the canton. They are now bringing to the infirmary the wounded of both sides, taken up from the place where they lay; there are at present sixteen of them. The number of killed in the last engage ment is supposed to be about twenty." Under the head of Lausanne, May 23, the same journal says :—" The mail from Italy yesterday passed the Valais without obstacle. The conductor of the diligence has brought word that the Upper Valaisians are in number about 2,400 men, well armed and well organised, under the orders of M. de-lialhermattan, and that they have provisions in abun dance. It was only yesterday, at four o'clock, that those troops occupied Martigny. In taking possession of it, M. de lialhermattan issued a proclamation, inviting the inhabitants to return peaceably home, promisihg them protection for their property and persons. The population of Martigny viewed with great satisfaetion this occupation, because it placed them under protection from any attacks from the in habitants of the lateral valleys, particalarly Salyan, which TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCH.

Mr. WAKEFIELD, at the sitting of the Court, stated that Mr. Dyce Sombre arrived in London last night at six o'clock. That he and Sir Thomas Wilde had had a consultation with him for an hour and a half; and, after that, they were ready to proceed with the case on any day hie Lordship would ap point.

A female pauper, named Mary Roach, was brought up in custody from St. Giles's workhouse, charged with assaulting an aged pauper, of the name of Eliza Ticton, by striking her with a pail in the workhouse-yard. The poor old woman said that she told the prisoner, on the previous afternoon, that the bell was ringing, and the pri soner immediately said what is that to you ? and struck her with a pail in the face, by which her eye was very much in jured. She had given the prisoner no provocation whatever. Other witnesses corroborated this statement. of being merely spoken to.

The Monarch being a large ship of 1,000 tons, presented a very gay appearance as she came up the River, having the flags of all nations hoisted. The plar y ge was Performqd in 44 hours. denCe, and was carried away in a cab. It was with extreme difficulty that he secured a safe retreat. FCUR o'cLocx.—The female seminary at the corner of Second and Phoenix-streets has been fired, and remains a heap ruins. During the burning of 'the church the mob continued to shout, arid when the cross at the peak of the roof fell, they gave three cheers, and a drum and fife played the Boyne Water. Nothing now remains of the.beautiful gothic struc ture but its blackened walls. FIVE o'crocx.—The seminary has been completely de stroyed. The temperance grocery store of Mr. Joseph Corr, corner of Phcenix and Second-streets, opposite the seminary, and from which it was said the volley was fired on Monday evening, which killed Mr. Wright, was completely riddled, and everythingin the house destroyed. The first brigade, under the immediate command of Gen, Cadwallader, has arrived upon the ground, accompanied by Sheriff M‘Michael. Six CLOCK.--The rioters have proceeded to the house of Alderman Hugh Clark, at the corner of Fourth aid Master streets, and have entirely gutted it out. The military arrived upon the ground after all the mischief was done, and were there when we left. • SEVEN O'CLOCK.—By this time the district was compara tively quiet, the mob having apparently expended all their wrath, and the military was posted in various sections. HALF-PAST 'EIGHT O'CLOCK.—Another outbreak has oc curred. The house of Matthew Quin, in Master-street, be low Germantown-road, has been battered with stones. It was untenanted. The mob forbore to set fire to the building because it would involve a large number of Americans and Protestants in the destruction. Between eight and nine o'clock, Harmony-court, consisting of six or eight houses, situated near Cadwallader-street, was destroyed by fire. About half-past six o'clock information was received by Mayor Scott that an attack was contemplated upon the St. Augustine Church, in Fourth-street, below Vine, and that a large crowd had already gathered in its vicinity. He imme diately repaired, upon horseback to the spot, with a body of the city police, and addressed the crowd. The police were posted around the chapel. The mass still increased. The first city troop were immediately ordered out, and were upon the ground in a short time. In consequence of the state of things, the Mayor issued the following proclamation : "There is reasonto believe that the spirit of disorder raging in the county is about to extend itself into the city, and to seek vent in the destruction of property and attack upon life. All good citizens, desirous to preserve the public peace, are therefore required to prepare themselves to patrol the streets, to resist all invasions of property, and to preserve the public peace, by resistance to every attempt to disturb it. " Each ward is requested to meet immediately at the place of their usual ward elections. " JOHN M. SCOTT, Mayor." The crowd still continued to increase at the church, and at ten minutes before ten o'clock, fire was communicated to the vestibule of the church, it is said, by a boy about 14 years old. At twenty minutes past ten o'clock the cross which sur mounted the steeple, and which remained unhurt, fell with a loud crash, amid the plaudits of a large portion of the spec tators. In ten minutes afterward the steeple, which stood till burn to a mere skeleton, fell, throwing up a mass of cinders. AMOUNT OF Loss AND DISTRESS.—The St. Michael's church and seminary in Kensington cost for building from 35,000 dolls. to 40,000 dolls., and St. Augustine's not less than 30,000 dolls. The amount of property thus far destroyed cannot be less than 150,000 dolls. No less than 200 families have been compelled to remove from their homes. HALF-PAST ELEVEN O'CLOCK.— The City Councils are now in session, to take measures to subdue the rioters. A boy, fourteen or fifteen years of age, has just been brought to the city police-office, wbo was arrested in at tempting to set fire to a vacant building in Kensington, near the market-house. The fire was extinguished by the military. The mob has in a great .measure left Kensington, and is divided in squads at various points in the city, and the southern part of the country. Fears are entertained that attempts will be made to fire other Catholic churches, and the military have been strongly posted in the vicinity of them. The conflagration at St. Augustine's has nearly subsided ; several houses in the immediate neighbourhood were injured. At this place several of the police-officers were knocked down, and the Mayor was struck in the breast with a stone. TWELVE O'CLOCK.—AII avenues leading to St. Mary and St. Joseph's - churches, in Forty, near Prune, and in Willings alley, have been guarded by troops, who suffer no person to enter the space, unless they live in the square. The fire now raging at St. Augustine's is occasioned by the burning of the magnificent library of books attached to the church. They are piled up in front of the house, and made a bonfire of. (From the United States Gazette of Thursday morning.) During the night hostile demonstrations were made against the Cathedral Church of St. John and St. Mary's Church. At the former General Cadwallader informed them that martial law had been proclaimed, and allowing the crowd five minutes to leave the ground, the mob dispersed. At the latter the United States marines enfiladed the street, and were brought to a charge. The mob dispersed. No persons were killed yesterday, and but one (James Lenox) wounded, and he not dangerously. ( From the North Ameri can .) THURSDAY, HALF-PAST Two O'CLOCK, A.H. About eleven o'clock the Ist division were withdrawn from Kensing ton, and the Ist brigade marched to St. John's church. Kensington, in the meantime, was left under the protection of only two companies from Germantown. The citizens of that district were in great alarm, owing to the absence of the division. ORDER RESTORED. The latest accounts (Friday) state that order is at length restored in Philadelphia, and law has the ascendancy. Governor Porter arrived on Thursday afternoon and promptly issued a proclamation for the suppression of the disturbances and the arrest of the rioters. The citizens of the several wards were also promptly organised for the preservation of the peace. All the officers commanding detachments were authorised and required to repel force with force, and the Generals com manding were authorised and required to enrol, arm, and or ganise, for the preservation of the peace, any number of citizens that might be required. During the day, a proclamation was issued, signed by the Sheriff and Mayor, enjoining all good citizens to abstain from mingling in crowds, to aid in preserving the peace, and to stay at home as much as was practicable. Another proclamation was also issued, signed by the Mayor and Sheriff, announcing that citizens were forbid from assembling in such streets as were in the possession of the civil and military authorities, and authorising the said au thorities to break up any such assemblage by force. General orders to the military were issued by Major- General Patterson, giving the directions for the defence of the churches. The United States Gazette of yesterday (Friday) morning says, " Although it was evident that much excitement existed in Kensington yesterday, yet no outbreak occurred. Large numbers of men were gathered about the streets, but they were principally strangers, drawn thither by curiosity, to view the destruction made by the bands of lawless rioters, " In the neighbinirhood of St. Augustine's church large numbers were gathered, and a crowd was also gathered in the vicinity of the church of St. Philip Neri, in Queen-street, Southack, which greatly increased towards nightfall. All the Catholic churches were however guarded. " The city councils met last evening, and placed 20,000 dolls. at the disposal of the committee of police, for the pur pose of protecting the property of the community and ensur ing the public peace. The Mayor and Sheriff' were actively engaged during the day and night. Generals Patterson, Cadwallader, and Hubbell, with their aids, were also con stantly employed in busy and judicious movements. "We understand the Governor was accompanied to the city by two companies of troops from Dauphin, and three other companies are on their way. " There has been but little dis - position manifested to break the peace to-day, though there is evidently a bad feeling existing in groups of men and boys of the lower classes. There is, however, a unanimous determination among the military not to bear any more insults from this class of per sons ; and the first breach of the peace will be put down promptly by force. This measure is now absolutely neces sary, as the several posts within their jurisdiction have been - declared to be under martial law; we believe they will act with vigour." • TWELVE O'CLOCK, MIDNIGHT, THURSDAY.—We learn that everything is quiet, both in northern and eastern, as well as in the other sections of the city and county. Not the slightest disposition is evinced in any quarter, to disturb the comparative tranquility of the city. The reported list of dead and wounded, as far as we have been able to learn, embraces 14-killed, and 39 wounded. " It is thought, however, that many persons have suffered from these scenes of violence, who are not in c l u d e d i n th e above list. The a moun t of property destroyed is probably between one hundred and two hundred thousand dollars, which sum the county will undoubtedly be compelled to pay." The proceedings in Congress since the last accounts possessed little interest. In the Senate, the long argued Tariff Bill had been defeated, and silenced at least for the session. Nothing whatever is said on the Oregon question, or the annexation of Texas affair. The House of Representatives, by a vote of 114 to 88, have agreed to close their session on the 17th of next month. The Senate will probably concur, HAYTI. COMPLETE OVERTHROW OF THE MULATTO GOVERNMENT. —From Captain Hoyt, of the brig Republic, who left Port Republican 27th ult., and arrived at New York, we learn that the blacks have been entirely successful in their engage ments with the Government troops, Herard's forces had dis banded in the north, and he took refuge in Port Republican, but was hotly pursued by a superior numerical force, and it is believed he could not hold out many. days. The Revo lutionists have established an independent Government in the Spanish part of the island. The French Admiral lay off Port Rep, with three frigates, waiting the issue of events. He would probably take possession of the island, and the ex pected failure of the Government to pay the indemnity due to France would be used as a pretext for that purpose, The black population have been fighting for a Republican form of Government, instead of a military despotism, and we think the possession of the island will cost France much more than any pecuniary advantage she can ever expect from it. STOCK AND MONEY MARKET. (From the New Fork American, May 15.) The internal trade of the country is active and vigorous. The imports from abroad also continue large —and withal there is a healthiness and soundness of business that promise the best results. The money market is free alike from agitation and pres sure. Sound dividend paying stocks maintain a steady value —speculation being altogether confined to what are called fancy stocks, of no certain value, and therefore just the ob jects for gambling wagers. The very high quotation of Consols, together with the great abundance of money in London, and the low rate of interest at our latest dates from there, render it matter of sur prise that -no demand should be forthcoming for our United States Six per Cents. Possibly the steps taken by Pennsyl vania to reinstate her credit may induce a more favourable view of American securities. Pennsylvania Stocks, since the passage of the tax law, have improved 8 or 9 per cent. By the cotton circular, it appears that, with something like 300,000 bales less received this year than the last, there are on hand about 200,000 bales more now than then. Prices have declined here, as the necessary consequence of the decline in Europe. In bread stuffs there is also a tendency to decline, and large quantities are coming forward through the canal.

The alarming occurrences in Pennsylvania have naturallY created serious apprehensions among the holders of their. State's securities. The utter inefficiency of the city autbo rities of Philadelphia—the insecurity of life and prope.rtY there—the fact that on the occssion of the flarrisburgh riot! some time since, the State authorities refused to recomPe n ,,: the army that quelled the disturbance—all ten d to rouse '''f• most serious apprehensions for the honour and inte g ritl. c n b the people of Pennsylvania.
