fusion, which may be properly called
riot, took place at this establishment last
evening. 1t appears that the Sacred
Musick Society, have the right by lease,

the use Of the large room last evening for
church purposes.

seriously wounded.

stop to the fight, and dispersed the blacks,
after arresting several of them. None oi
the white abolitionists made their appear
