The deficiency of Hotel accommodation in India, China,
and other places in the East to which Europeans now resort
in large and annually increasing numbers, is a subject of
gf
the eneral complint ; and it is evident that the development
rail
o means of transit by ocean and river steamers, and by
ways, which has been in rapid progress now for some
Years, must imperfectlyfulfil all Ps important objects, so far
as European intercoue with the East is concerned, until
Ulla want is adequately supplied.
In England, and on the u.ntinent of Europe, it is now an
te
ascettained fact that the joint-stock system may most sue-
first classssfully be applied to the establishment of Hotels of the
. If this be so where good private Hotels before
existed in large numbers, there seems, no reason to doubt
that an equal degree of commercial success is attainable by
the application of capital, upon the same system, to the same
object, in couutries where, though the demand is great and
increasing, it may almost be said that good private Hotels
do not exist.
In Calcutta a Joint-stack company has lately purchased
and undertaken the management of an Motet, and the pro-
spects of the enter, rise, as a commercial speculation: may be
inferred from the very high prem urn at which their shares
are quoted in the Calcutta market, see "Times" July 17, the
" Englishman's Weekly Mail" of June 8,1863, and "Allen's
'lndian Mail," viz., .£2.5 paid, present value, £424 ex div.,
equal to 70 per cent. premium, and the.
payment of a dividend
of 10 per cent. for the half-year ending 3 30th April last, equal
to 20 per cent. per annum. Bombay offers a wide field for
the establishment of an Hotel of a firs class character The
early completion of vast lines of railway converging
n th
island of Bombay, and the more frequent steam
lion between that pert and Europe which willsooaneetoamk:

modation. The same may be said of Madras. lt is under these circumstancesn

Will naturally engage the early attention of the

such for example as Madras, Singapore, and Kurrachee ; notto speak of many very important railway stations in theand

for profitab e operations.
The largerclass of the Company's Hotels will afford all the

Advices from Charleston to the 13th inst. state
that the whole of Morris Island, except Fort
Wagner, bad been captured by the Federals. The
Confederates lost between 700 and 800 men. The
siege of Fort yV agner was progressing. Five moni-
tors were engaged.
Gen. Beauregard officially announced on the 10th
inst. that the enemy had obtained possession of the
southern portion of Morris Island. The Confede-
rate loss in opposing their landing was severe,
amounting to 300 killed and wounded. The enemy's
loss is evidently heavy.
On the evening of the 10th Gen. Beauregard re-
ports chat the enemy had a threatening force on
the lower front of James Island.

An attempt was made to destroy the Savannah
railway bridge, but failed, with the loss of one steam
boat. The main body of Gen. Bragg's army is said
to have retreated from Chattanooga to Atlanta.
Gen. Roseneranz has captured 4,000 prisoners dur-
ing his forward movement.
General Morgan continues his raid in Indiana
land Ohio. He passed over the Cincinnati and
Indianopolis Railroad, 35 miles from Cincinnati,
and had reached Miamsville. Martial law has been
proclaimed in Cincinnati, Corrington, and Newport.
Gen. Grant paroled 31,000 prisoners at Vicksburg.
Immediately after the surrender Gen. Sherman, with
'a large army, moved in the direction of Big Black
River. On the following day he met Gen. John:.
stone in line of battle. A sanguinary engagement
is said to have taken place, resulting in Gen. John.
stone's retreat, with the loss of 2,000 prisoners.
Federal Gen. Blair is said to occupy Jackson. An
armed steamer, supposed to be a privateer, has been
seen off Portland.

A copy of an address from General Lee to the
army, dated the 11th inst., has been found at
Hagerstown. He tells the troops that if the fierce
and sanguinary battle they had fought was not
attended with the success which hitherto had
crowned their efforts it was marked with that heroic
spirit which commanded the respect of their
enemies and the gratitude of their country. Once
more they were about to meet their old enemy, and
he urges them to go forward in confidence to secure
the peace and safety of the country.
Vicksburg advices of the sth state that General
Johnstone was retreating and that General Sherman
was in full pursuit.
NEW YORK, July 15, Evening.

The Confederates have attacked Young's Point,
Mississippi, and carried off 1,200 negroes, who were
working on a plantation under Federal superinten-
dents.

Mr. Seward has officially authorised the correction
of the statement made in the English Parliament that
the British Government showed him the communi-
cation made to it last winter by the French Govern-
ment on the subject of mediation. The first know-
ledge the Federal Government had of the French
proposition was received from the French Govern-
ment itself.

ADDRESS OF GENERAL LEE TO TH E
CONFEDERATE ARMY.
(General Orders.—No. 16.)
Headquarters, Army of Northern Virginia,
July 11, 1863.
.and trying •
After the long marches endured with
the fortitude that has ever characterized the soldiers
of the army of Northern Virginia,
you have pene-
trated to the country of our enemies and recalled to
the defence of their own soil those
gaged in the invasion of ours. You have fought a
fierce and sanguinary battle which, if not attended
with the success that has hitherto crowned your
efforts,was marked by the same heroic spirit that has
commanded the respect of your enemies, the grati-
tude of your country, and the admiration of man-
kind.
" Once more you aro called upon to meet the
enemy from whom you have torn in so many fields,
a name that will never die. Once more the eyes of
your countrymen are turned upon you, and again
do wives and sisters, fathers and mothers, and help.
less children lean for defence on your strong arms
and brave hearts. Let every soldier remember
that on his courage and fidelity depends all that
makes life worth having—the freedom of his coun-
try, the honour of his people, and the security of
his home. Let each heart grow strong in the re-
membrance of our glorious past, and in the
thought of the inestimable blessings for
which we contended; and, invoking the assistance
of that heavenly Power which has so signally
blessed our former efforts, let us go forth in con-
fidence to secure the peace and safety of our coun-
try. Soldiers, your old enemy is before you. Win
from him honour worthy of your right cause,
worthy of your comrades dead on so many illus-
trious fields.

" R. L. LEE, General Commanding.'

THE RIOTS IN NEW YORK.

-•-
The New York papers give fearful descriptions of
the scenes of riot which followed the attempt to en-
force the conscription. The New I ork, Journal of
Commerce of the 14th thus summarises the events
of the first day :

" Yesterday witnessed the most serious riot which
has ever been known in our city, and it raged all
day unsuppressed. In fact the upper portion of
New York was seized by the mob, ana held through-
out the day, and no exertions sufficed to give the
least check to their proceedings. It is with the
the facts
h history deepestb
ipain tl hl abte wmee
mr eocroarbdl
et
ihneelsewhere—ur
city, hitherto celebrated for its law-abiding cha-
racter. The origin of the riot was in the Ninth
Congressional District, where the draughting com-
menced on Saturday last. A great crowd gathered
yesterday morning around the office in 3d avenue,
where the draughting was in progress. On Satur-
day the drawing of names had not been interrupted.
Sunday intervened, and no one anticipated any
trouble, nor is there any reason to believe that
the occurrences of yesterday were premeditated or
organised. On the contrary, there was probably
no idea of it in the mind of any one concerned up to
the moment of the outbreak. Then a pent-up fire
seemed to break out suddenly, and the absence of
the military forces relied on to check such demon-
strations prevented an immediate suppression, so

that it gained power and assumed enormous propor-
tions. The office on which the attack was made is
in the 3d avenue, and the riot was at first con-
fined to that immediate locality. The officers
escaped, it is hoped, without serious injury, but the
furious crosNd vented their rage on the building, set
fire to it, and then forbade any interference of the
fire companies, so that it was destroyed. The fire
was not confined to this bouee. Like the mob,
once kindled it was unrestrained and destroyed
what it touched, ne one staying its course. From
the locality in which it commenced the riot spread
into various parts of the city. Men everywhere
were excitable, and the whole community seemed
to be in a state of nervous anxiety, while portions
of it were ready to add to the fury of the mob.
Nothing was talked of but the draught, and the
burden of conversation on that subject was the old
story, which had been again and again talked over,
but which now had fresh interest. The rapidity
with which tie riot spread is unexampled in his-
tory. In a few hours the whole of the upper part
of the city was in possession of the mob, and a scene
commenced whose horror is beyond description.
Without leadership, without any common design,
they selected objects for their attack, and went from
one to another with tremendous rapidity. The de-
tails of much that was done will be found elsewhere.
Much remains unreported, since, for various rea-
sons, it was impossible to collect the facts. The
lower part of the city rern".sned quiet until the even-
ing, with the exception of excited crowds in the
neighbourhood of the park. About half-past 7 a
sudden attack was made on the office of the Tribune.
For a few minutes the mob had possession of the
building, and a considerable amount of damage was
done, when a body of police charged on them,
cleared the building and formed a strong guard
around it. Night then came down on the city in a
condition not to be described. From the roof of
the Journal of Commerce building the view presented
in the misty atmosphere was such as we hopenever
to see again, In our neighbourhood all was quiet,
and profound stillness reigned, where the city
is by day most crowded and noisy. But in
the distance new conflagrations and the remains of
those kindled during the day lit the drifting clouds
with a red glow, and the shouts of the mob came
down to us from far off scenes of riot. The fire bells
have scarcely ceased their loud call from hour to
hour, and the night has been full of alarms and ap-
prehensions. At the moment of writing, 3 o'clock,
a large fire has suddenly appeared in the western
part of the city, lighting the clouds, but we are un-
able to say whether it proceeds from the works of
the rioters or other causes."

The rioting of the second day (14th) is thus de-
scribed :

" The fire broke out yesterday morning, about 10
o'clock, in the 7th and 13th wards. A large body
of men who had convened at different points in the
above-mentioned wards, marched down Pitt-street
for the purpose of visiting the shipyards and com-
pelling the workmen to join them. Word had been
received at the central police office of this move-
ment, and a detachment of 150 regulars, ander com-
mand of Lieut. Wood, marched to the scene of action.
As they passed along Pitt-street they encountered
the mob, 2,000 strong,who were yelling like demons.
Lieut. Wood drew his men into line, and ordered
Shoulder arms.' One of the ringleaders approached
Lieut. Wood and desired to speak with him. The
officer told him to stand aside, when a volley of
stones were hurled at the troops. They stood their
ground ; and then the lieutenant directed his men
to fire over the heads of thticrowd. The rioters then
discharged pistols at the soldiers, when the lieute-
nant gave the word to fire point blank, and a volley
was fired, killing 12 men and two children, and
wounding 17 men. The soldiers then loaded for
another volley, but the mob did not wait for it.
The first fire scattered them like sheep. They ran
frightened at the top of their speed into the side
streets, the soldiers pursuing them, but without
further firing. No soldier was injured. Lieut.
Wood slipped accidentally and sprained his ankle
severely, In less than five minutes after the firing
there was not a citizen to be seen for a space of
several blocks around tie scene of slaughter.
About 10 o'clock a formidable riot broke out in 2d
avenue, near 34th street. The mob commenced firing
buildings and assailing persons in the streets. In-
formation of the outbreak being sent to the central
office, a powerful force of policemen and a detach-
ment of artillery were ordered to the spot. The
rioters were found to be 5,000 strong. The police-
men attacked them at once with clubs, and used
their pistols where it was necessary. The crowd
broke before their determined onslaught, but rallied
again. The battery of two 6-pounders, under com-
mand of Col. O'Brien, then opened on the rioters
with blank cartridges, and at the first discharge the
crowd were dispersed and had not reassembled at
the last accounts. A large number of the rioters
were wounded, and several are believed to have been
killed, Report was brought to the central office at
11 o'clock that Mayor Opdyke's house, in sth-avenue,
had been sacked and burnt. Subsequent informa-
tion states that this report is unfounded. At 10
o'clock, the house occupied by Co), O'Brien (who
had volunteered his services to assist in suppressing
the mob), in Second Avenue, was assaulted by the
mob and most of the furniture destroyed and a large
number of valuable articles stolen. The house would
have been burnt down, but the fact became known
that it was owned by another person, and it was
therefore spared. Despatches were received at the
central office from different portions of the city ,
particularly the 16th and 18th wards, stating that
riots were going on there. Forces of policemen and
military were promptly sent to quell them. Com-
missioner Acton took general charge of the police
arrangements, and manifested great energy and
decision, Gen. Harvey Brown superintended the
military. At half-past 12 o'clock yesterday several
hundred citizens had been sworn in as special police-
men, and placed on duty. The volunteers were gene-
rally business men and property holders. Governor
Seymour arrived in the city this morning, and
stopped at the St. Nicholas Hotel. About half-past
12 o'clock the Governor proceeded in a carriage to
the City-hall for the purpose of consulting with the
city authorities and taking measures to restore
peace. As soon as the Governor's presence at
the City-hall was known, a large crowd of people
assembled in front of the hall and called for the
Governor. lie responded to their request and made
his appearance on the front steps. He was loudly
cheered. After order had been restored, the Go-
vernor made a very few remarks. He said, in sub-
stance,_that he had been called here by existing
trouble, and begged the people to understand that in
destroying life and property they only injured them-
selves, He was their friend. They had the power
to maintain order. It was their interest to do it, and
it was also their duty. It was not a question of con-
scription. The conscription was not in progress. He
had sent Adjutant-General Sprague to Washington
to oak that the draught might be stopped until the
Ccurts could decide upon its legality. (Here there
was an outburst of enthusiasm, lasting several
minutes.) To the decision of the Courts they owed
obedience and respect. If the Courts decided the
law legal, he would use every exertion to see that
there should be no inequality in the matter of exemp-
tion between rich and poor. (Great cheering.) If
they would leave the matter in his hands, all would
be well. The Governor closed by appealing for good
order. The Governor then withdrew, amid loud
cheering. The crowd at the City-hall was orderly
and appeared to comprise few rioters. The riot in
the 16th precinct appeared to be a very serious
affair. The school-house at the corner of 17th street
and 3d avenue had been set on fire. A mob was
also destroying the soap and candle factory of
Jones and Co. Captain Petty with 100 men dis-
persed the rioters without a fight. At the 7th Regi-
ment Armory, 400 men under Lieutenant Kemp
kept guard with two howitzers loaded with grape
and canister. Colonel Henry E, Davies Was

organising a force at that place, and expected to
raise a force of 6,000 citizens, most ex-members of
the militia. At the Bth Regiment Armoury 100
men with one howitzer were on guard. Colonel Jar-
dine and his Hawkins' Zouaves have the 9th Regi-
ment Armoury in their keeping. A large number
of the Zouaves have offered their services. The
attack on Major's Opdyke's house resulted only in
the breaking of the lanterns in front of the pre-
mises. A body of about 150 citizens, aided by a
few policemen, drove the rioters away. Subse-
quently 200 soldiers from Staten Island were placed
on guard at the mayor's house. By request of the
mayor, a force of 50 policemen were sent to his
cffice and remained there during Tuesday. The
effect of the riot on business was very injurious.
Large numbers of stores and saloons on Broadway
were closed. The proprietors of jewellery establish-
ments put up their shutters early in the morning.
None of the city cars were running, and but few of
the lines of stages. A meeting was called at the
Merchants' exchange at 2 p.m., to take steps for
organising merchants, bankers, clerks, and others,
into companies to aid the local authorities. Mr. F.
S. Winston presided, and speeches were, made. It
was then resolved to form companies, and business
men were requested to furnish every facility to
their employes for this purpose. A large number
of volunteers presented themselves. At a later
meeting in Wall-street several companies were
organised. The soldiers and policemen on duty
had a hard time of it on Monday, being without
food daring the whole day; but they were well
fed on Tuesday. The St. Nicholas and other up-
town hotels spread tables for them. A great quan-
tity of hams, smoked beef, crackers, and bread has
also been stored at the police head-quarters for the
sustenance of the men. At one p.m. on Tuesday a
large force of marines, and the James T. Brady
Light Infantry (11th Regiment of Volun-
teers) reported to General Wool, and were at once
sent to. posts of importance. A battalion of 500
men from Riker's Island also arrived in the after-
noon, and were assigned to duty. A large crowd
collected in Anthony-street, opposite Claflin and
IMellan's dry goods store, with the evident inten-
tion of sacking the Government stores there. Only
a few men were on guard, but they succeeded in
frightening off the rioters until a detachment of
regular artillery, consisting of two howitzers,
arrived. The howitzers were loaded to the muzzle,
and posted so as to rake Anthony-street both ways.
This little precaution kept the mob at a respectful
distance for the rest of the day. One of the build•
ings burnt down yesterday morning was the resi-
dence of the city postmaster, on 86th street, between
4th and sth avenues. The occupants had left, fear-
ing an attack. The house was stripped of all its
valuable contents, and a fire was started on the par-
lour floor. In a few minutes the whole building
was in flames. No firemen were present to assist
in putting out the conflagration. The fire soon
communicated to the 24d precinct station-house
opposite. The doorman in charge of the premises,
Mr. Charles Ebling, succeeded in saving the tele-
graph box and clock, and made good his escape. The
building with all its contents was soon in ashes.
Col. Nugent's residence, on 86th street, between 3d
and 4th avenues, was also burnt. Soon after these
occurrences, a large body of rioters marched to Co-
lumbia College, with the intention of sacking and
burning the building. A Catholic priest stopped
them as they were about to perform their work, and
earnestly implored them to refrain, as they would
surely destroy a church which was attached to the
edifice. The crowd at this suggestion, moved away.
A range of stables in Spring-street, between Broad-
way and Broome, was destroyed by fre at the hands
of the mob during the forenoon. The plaining, turn-
ing, and sawmill of Mr. Hanson, at Harlem, were
fired at 4 a.m. Two restaurants, a cigar store, a feed
store, a coal-office, and a butcher's shop adjoining,
were also burnt. The Hudson River Railroad track
at 50th street was torn up for some distance on
Tuesday, in order to prevent the bringing in of out-
of-town militia regiments. Between 2 and 3 in the
afternoon the rioters in the 22d ward sacked the
store of Mr. Molter, corner of 86th street and 3d
avenue, and fired it. Harlem was next visited, and
Washington-hall, and two buildings on 3d avenue,
near 120th street, burnt to the ground. A porter
house on 6th avenue, near 91st street, was also burnt,
the mob having been refused free drinks by the pro-
prietor. It was reported that the bridge over
M'Comb's dam had been destroyed, The telegraph
which had been working in Ist and 2d avenues dur-
ing the forenoon were cut shortly after mid-day. A t
3 p.m., a telegram was received from Col. Fry, Pro-
vost Marshal-General, by Col. Nugent, directing
him to suspend the draught in the city. It was re-
ported at the central office that Col. O'Brien, of the
11th New York Volunteers, had been beaten to
death on 2d avenue. The crowd who tore up the
Hudson laver track sacked a grocery store on 11th
avenue, between 41st and 42d streets. No policemen
were in the neighbourhood, and but few soldiers,
who could do nothing to stop the rioters. Governor
Seymour issued the following proclamation and ac-
companying notice :

" PROCLAMATION-.-TO THE PEOPLE OP THE CTTY OF
NEW YORK.

" A riotous demonstration in your city, originating in
opposition to the conscription of soldiers for the military
service of the United States, has swelled into vast propor-
tions, directing its fury against the property and lives of
peaceful citizens. I know that many of those who have
participated in these proceedings would not have allowed
themselves to be carried to such extremes of violence and
of wrong, except under an apprehension of injustice, but
such persons are reminded that the only opposition to the
conscription which can be allowed is an appeal to the courts,
" The right of every citizen to make such an appeal will
be maintained, and the decision of the courts must be re-
spected and obeyed by people and rulers alike. No other
course is consistent with the maintenance of the laws, the
peace and order of the city, and the safety of its inhabitants.
" Riotous proceedings must and shall be put down;
the laws of the State of New York must be enforced ; its
peace and order maintained, and the lives and property of
all its citizens protected at any and every hazard. The rights
of every citizen will be properly guarded and defended by
the chief magistrate of the State.
"' I do therefore call upon all persons engaged in these
riotous proceedings to retire to their homes and employ-
ments, declaring to them that unless they do so at once I
shall use all the power necessary to restore the peace and
order of the city. I also call upon all well-disposed persons
not enrolled for the preservation of order to pursue their
ordinary avocations.
" Let all citizens stand firmly by the constituted autho-
rities, sustaining law and order in the city, and ready to
answer any such demand as circumstances may render
necessary for me to make upon their services, and they may
rely upon a rigid enforcement of the laws of this State
against all who violate them.
" HORATIO SEYMOUR, Governor.
" New York, July 14.'

The mob in the 18th ward yesterday afternoon
attacked the gun factory of Marston and Co., corner
of 22d street and 2d avenue, occupied the building,
and seized the arms. A large detachment of police
under Inspector Dilke soon arrived on the ground,
and took possession of the entrance and stairway.
The rioters had not time to load the guns. 'They
assailed the policemen as the latter came up the
stairs, and a sharp contest ensued, resulting in the
complete discomfiture of the rioters. Ma__

nY of
them were seriously injured by clubs, and all
driven out: The police recovered all the guns. The
muskets rescued from the arsenal in 21st street and
2d avenue on Monday were stored, for safe keeping,
in the Union Steam Works, at the corner of 22d
street and 2d avenue. The rioters rceLived informa-
tion of this fact, and yesterday afternoon assaulted
and took possession of the works. A force of 300
policemen arrived soon after,
, when the rioters at-
tempted to escape, without using the muskets. Most
of them got away, but about 30 were dreadfully
clubbed about the bead, and some probably killed.
Three musket shots were fired at the police as they
advanced up the street. The police then held their
ground for some time, but the mob gathered new
strength, and made a desperate assault on the works.
After a fierce contest the police were dislodged and
the rioters in full possession. .A fresh force of police,

At 5 o'clock the mob attacked a building in 29th street,
supposed by them to belong to Horace Greeley. The police
happened fortunately to be near at hand, and drove away
the rioters after a brief engagement. Two policemen were
slightly wounded by pistol shots from persons in the crowd.
In the 19th ward over 300 citizens have enrolled themselves
as a vigilant committee, and in several instances whipped
small knots of rioters. A fire which had been set in the
coloured house at the foot of 57th street, East River, was
put out by this committee. They have offered their services
at the Central. office, and been accepted as special policemen.
In the 18th ward a large mob roved through the streets last
evening, firing houses and robbing stores. In one case they
set fire to a store, but afterwards agreed to extinguish it on
payment of 100 dole, by the owner. A detachment of soldiers
from Port Hamilton and another from Fort Schuyler re-
ported at the Central-office last night, and were immedi-
ately sent out to points where the mob were at work. It
was reported that the 7th regiment N. G., had been ordered
back from Pennsylvania, and would be in the city to-day.
A number of regiments from the interior of the State were
expected to arrive during the night. The whole number of
persons killed or wounded in the second avenue fight during
the afternoon is thus far ascertained to be 41. It is thought,
however, that there are others who were taken away by
their friends. The number above given is that of persons
who were in the hospitals and station-houses last night.
During the night reports poured in at the Central office of
riotous proceedings in different parts of the city. Police and
military were despatched in the directions indicated with
great promptness, and short work made of rioters in every
direction. Several hundred citizens who were sworn in
yesterday as special policemen rendered valuable service.
The whole number of soldiers who will be in town to-day
will be not far from 5,000, and it is hoped that with them
the rioters may be effectually squelched within the next 24
hours. Last evening, about 9 o'clock, as a party of sol-
diers were marching up Broadway, they were followed by
a crowd, groaning and yelling at them. The soldiers bore
the insults patiently, but when opposite the City-hall a
squad of police then stationed in the park hearing the noise
rushed after the crowd and pitched into them, using their
clubs freely. A number of rioters were considerably da-
maged. Late intelligence from the mob in 11th avenue re-
ports that they had burned the ferry-house at the foot of
42d street, and several other houses in that neighbourhood.

[FROM ANOTHER REPORTER.]

"The riot which commenced on Monday was continued
yesterday with increased violence, and at an early hour
crowds began to assemble in various parts of the city. At
half-past 10 o'clock word was brought to the police head-
quarters that buildings were being torn down in the 7th
ward, and a body of United States Regulars from Gover-
nor's Island were sent to disperse them, In Delancy-street
they encountered a large body and fired into it, killing and
wounding several, after which the rioters scattered. The
troops then dispersed a crowd in Pitt-street, killing five
persons, among whom were two children. Several shoti
were fired at the troops, but without effect. At half-past 11
o'clock Col. O'Brien, with about 250 of the James T. Brady
Guard, appeared at police bead-quarters. They had just re-
turned from dispersing a crowd in 34th-street, near 3d
avenue, some of whom were killed. This crowd had at half-
past 3 in the morning fired a shed, a turning and planing
mill, and several other buildings in 127th and 129th streets.
They then proceeded to 34th-street, near 3d avenue, where
they took possession of a large tenement house and threw
down stones upon the troops, The latter, aided by a body
of police, rushed in and drove the rioters out of the win-
dows, some being killed and others wounded. The mob
made an effort to rally, hut were charged upon by the
troops and then fled. At twelve o'clock a large crowd
proceeded to Leonard-street for the purpose of burn•
ing negroes' dwellings, but the police scattered them. In
17th street, near avenue, they set a school-house on fire,
but the police extinguished it and set the rioters flying.
Previous to this another mob attacked some buildings oh
and near the corner of Ridge and Delaney streets, but were
dispersed by a body of marines, who killed a man named
Patrick Doherty, and fatally wounded another named
Donald and a boy named James Stephen. In 34th
street a body of police were attacked with a volley of bricks
and stones, which they met with their clubs, and scat-
tered the rioters. From the top of the building occu-
pied by Riley's porter-house showers of stones were hurled
upon the police, but the latter burst open the doors, rushed
into and through the house, and clubbed the rioters unmer-
cifully. The military then appeared and fired into the
crowd, six or seven of whom were killed and wounded. It
is also stated that a woman and two children were killed.
At Bastell's gun store a body of rioters armed themselves,
they having broken into it, and then proceeded to the 19th
ward station-house, where they scattered such policemen
t
as were present. The 23d precinct station-house was nest
visited and demolished. During most of the day gpanuod
of military and the provost guard, with fixed bayonetsuare to
loaded muskets, paraded Broadway from
the Battery. Many of the stores on that sttlrlelieet:tpl,l;

rioters who had entered the Union Steam Works, corner of
2d avenue and 22d street, for the purpose of seizing the
muskets carried there from the arsenal which was destroyed
on Monday.
In a few minutes 24 of the rioters lay bleeding
upon the floor and side walk. This scattered the crowd,
but an hour or more afterwards they assembled in larger
numbers, stormed the building, drove out the police, and
took possession. A detachment of regulars under Captain
Franklin were sent for, and soon arrived. These, with the
police, drove the crowd from the building and before them.
The military faced about, fired, and killed and wounded
about 20. The streets were then cleared, and about 200
carbines, which had been recovered from the mob, were
taken to headquarters. During the afternoon the police
and troops had encounters with the rioters in sth avenue,
11th avenue, and 6th avenue, but as far as could be learnt
no lives were lost, though many were wounded by police-
men's clubs. In almost every encounter women were ob-
served urging on the rioters. As we go to press a fire is
raging, apparently in the 11th ward. At the hour of writ-
ing (half -past two), we are in receipt of a notice from the
Central Police-office, saying that the police have control of
the city."

Governor Seymour has issued the following proclama-
tion, declaring the city to be in a state of insurrection :7-
" Wherean it is manifest that combinations for forcible
resistance to the laws of the State of Now York and the
execution of civil and criminal process exist in the city and
county of New York, whereby the peace and safety of the
city, and the lives and property of its inhabitants, are en-
dangered ; and
" Whereas the power of the said city and county has been
exerted, and is not sufficient to enable the officers of, the

The proclamation of Governor Seymour, and the en_
nouncement that Provost-Marshal Nugent has been autho-
rised to suspend the draught in New York and Brooklyn,
have in the main quieted the Conscript part of the riot,
while in the absence of the police on special duty the thieves
have taken possession of some of the deserted streets. The
riot, indeed, appears to have degenerated into a riot of
thieves, and ceases to exist as a Conscription Riot. These
thieves pillage all alike.
The Evening Express say s—" The riot may be said to be
about over. The police, either regular or special, will, in
all probability, be re-established in their powers in all
parts of the city. The great riot now, as we write-2 p.m.
—seems to be driven out of the city proper, and limited to
the suburbs Yorkville, Harlem, Manhattanville, &c.
Five regiments are under orders to return to New York.
The Court of Aldermen have passed the resolution ap-
propriating 2,500,000 dollars to exempt poor men, and di-
recting the counsel to the corporation to take legal mea-
sures to test the constitutionality of the act. The Court of
Common Council have concurred in the resolution.
