for tlme, when the Irshmen were compelled 10 re-
treat through Purchase street. where receiving
siderable accession TO their numbers they seemed re-
solved to maintain their ground at all hazards.
| Here the battle ragged long and desperately; the
members of the Fire Department seemed bitterly en-
ragged against their opponents and their hostile feel
ings doubtless increased by report that several
members of the department had been killed IN ne
previous battles. They were joined by numoer o.
other persons principally young men, from 10 70 ~
years old, who were eager TO enter into the cohhlc
with the lrsh prompted by natural sloPsnS rn Ul
fighting, nsuperable aversion TO the irish popu-
laton; and they fought with as much desperation,
and seemed regardless of their own lives as those
who conceived that they had sufficient pv0vocatlon
to indulge TO its fullest extent their comba've pro-
! penslty.
The missiles flew in every direcuon-and clubs and
shllelahs were welded right manfuy. Hand carts
were employed TO convey ammunition, IN the shape
of bricks to the scene of action. Many were knock
ed down-and some received severe and dangerous
injuries In the mean time the Irish women and chill
dren were shnekng and wringng their hands-and
this together with the oaths, and menaces, and fero-
cious aspect of the combatants, the cries of victory
and the groans of defeat, presented spectacle of
confusion, of riot and boodshed, which was never be-
fore witnessed in this cty-Merc. Jour.
MORE Rlors.-Our New Haven correspondent
writes that a tremendous excitement exists in that
place, m consequence of the Governor vetoing the
bill repeating the charter of the City Bank. Last
square, and burned in presence of hundreds. The
City Bank is very unpopular, and it was feared that
more serious riots would take place.
AMERICAN FAsuIoNABLEs IN EURoPE.-We learn
by private accounts from London and Paris, that the
American fasAionables, now travelling in Europe
in most deporable state for the want of funds end
remtances. The revusion has entirely destroyed the
negociabty of American bills of credit and class
of men feel it more than those who went to France
and Italy TO learn manners, or cultivate the mousta-
che, which is as bad as cultivating cabbages. Some
of the gay rascals are now reduced to a shilling per
week-a little bad wine and few blades of garlic with
piece of brown bread. No matter it will fit them for
the Temperance Society. We have heard several
amusing and aughable incidents of this character. 1t
IS highly probable too, that of the fine ladies will
have to take to the needle for living till their friends
send them remlttances from this country Oh that
knew who they were If pretty would remit them
ofmy specein spite of the rascals Of the kitchen
cabinet.
What an awful change American fashienables
turned American paupers in Europe! IT'S well the
Hagserties at home, kicking up indictments the
devil or any thing they can.
There will be little fashionable travelling Europe

PRovI IoSs-One Of the greatest imposiiions Of
the day--almos as bad as that OF the banks-is the
high prices Of provisions at all our public markets
In order to remedy this evil that presses all alike
enterprsing citizen has erected private provision
market in Blocker street, at which beef veal, mutton
and all other articles in the eating line sold Is
20 per cent cheaper than at the Fulton, Washington.
and other corporation markets.
This happy movement in favor Of free trade and
cheap beef has, however, alarmed the monoposts,
while it has gaddened the hearts of the hungry. Ac-
cordingly last Saturday, N. b. Blunt, the new cor
poraton attorney, had the modesiy 10 enter the
Blocker MARKET and tell the dealers there that
he would prosecute them If they did not shut up their
stalls. We dare him to do the deed. We dare any
insolence in Office TO 60 before jury and ask them
take away the nalienable rights of American citi-
zens. With much proprie,y and justice he might
come into our Office and threaten to have shut be-
cause nterfered with the circulation of the corrupt
Wall street prints.
If this be specimen of the tender merces of a
wing corporation, then will the people of New York
and all those who eat and buy meat-remember the
fact ut the next election.
REDUCTION or RESrs.-We are happy to learn that
landlords are very generally taking the state of the
times into consideration, and reducing the rents Of
tenants in several parts Of the city A few days ago.
Mr. Furniss The proprietor Of the large and elegant
house, occupied by Miss Boyd as Boarding Estab
lishment in Broadway, very generously and literally
asked the lady, show much do you want me TO take
Off" She reflected and replied, $500" IL shall
be done, said Dir. Furniss-and il was done
Such conduct is highly prascworthy, and oughtto
be sounded from end Of the country the other.
We have also heard of varoas other landlords, or
their agents making other deductions. Peter Harmo-
nv ESQ., has reduced the rent Of house occupied we
believe by Mrs Eaton, and several other proprietors
of houses in Broadway have followed the example.
Much yet remains TO be done in the way of reduce
COMPATIBILITY in houses rented down town. We
could mention few that waiting for the lberality
Of landlords around tn Bowling Green but il is pro-
bable they will take the hint in time In the upper
part of the city many splendid palaces enantess
and who will rent them we know not unless they
turn them into Aims Houses, for the 10000 paupers
which Europe is generously emptying shores.
