had been Instrumental in getting up the meet

Ia consequence Of the disposition that ex-
listed, to prevent any meeting IN favor Of inn
mediate emancipation, as evinced by the
crowds that assembled, no effort was made to
carry the avowed objects Of the meeting into
effect, although a crowd of officers had been
assembled to protect the convOcatiOn from
anticipated injury and abuse.
From the non. assembage Of the persons
who had designed to occupy the Chapel. it
was evident that the objects Of the meeting
had been abandoned, and the friends Of colo
nization thereupon entered, organized as
meeting, passed resolutions in favor OF their
own opinions, and peaceably Dispersed. This
business was brought to close about nine o.
clock ut night. But a much more formidable
difficulty existed farther up 10 the city. Mr..
Farl en-, Stage Manager ofthe Bowery Thea
tire, had been represented as having cursed
the Yankees, called them jackasses, and that
he would gull them Whenever he could. This
declaration, whether true or false, had been
sworn to by Mr.. Ssniis, a butcher, before the
Police, by virtue Of whose affidavit Mr.. FAR
rem had been arrested.
From the attempts Of Mr.. Farren to deny
his declarations and his published allegations
on the subject charging his accuser Mr.. Sem
It's with perjury, a number Of persons highly
respectable had predetermined to prevent his
appearance on the BOwery Board. As an adj

rush was made from the crowd in the street,

bF0ke the front doors and making their way
into the Theatre, soon filed the boxes, pit,
and stage, and elected the actors therefrcn.
The crowd continued 10 pour 10 their
swarms until every nook and avenue Of the
Theatre was fIIed, .nd the females Of the
stage and the audience were happy to escape
from the house through the rear door Of the
building. Efforts were made by the actors to
address the audience, but they were unsuc-
cessful until it was announced that Mr.. Far
rem was dismissed from the Theatre, after a
speech from Mr.. Forrest, when tranquility in
some measure was restored. Still the crowds
occupied the entire Theatre, including the
stage for long time, and the civil authorities
were unable t., expel them.

eleven O'clock, with no other injury, save the
breaking 0f the doors and Of the foot lights.
There were. however. ulterior objects in the
minds Of the multitude. After leaving the
