GREAT RIoTIN BOSTON.

The Boston Morning Post furnishes us
with the following account Of an alarming
riot and loss Of ~ hich occurred al Boston
on Sunday The 1llh inst:
A terrible conflict commenced yesterday
afternoon, about three O'clock, between En-
CINE Company No. 20 and a very large Irish
funeral procession in East street. There are
nearly as many rUmors in circulation as 10
the origin 81 The disturbance as there were
parties engaged in il. AS lar as we could ar
rive at TIC facts, they appeared TO be as fol-
lows:
No 20, the Extinguisher, had just return.
ed from the fire at Roxbury, and had their
engine in the middle Of the street in trout o
The engineshouse when The procession came
down The street. Some at the head OF The
procession ordered the engine TO be removed
from The street, and the company refused tc
| do so. One engiue-man was laid hold Of
and pushed aside. This was resented by his
comrades, but, being outnumbered, they re
treated into their house. The procession
moved on. The ExIngusher's men, in th
mean time, prepared 10 resent their defeat
rang their own bell and sent man 10 RIM
the Rev. Mr.. Young's bell, az if for an a
AIsrm ol FIRE.

GEN. HARRISON IN PENNsYLyANIA.-
The Philadelphia inquirer OF Saturday last,
in speaking OF The prospects OF Gen. farri
son in Pennsylvania, says, "ll is our delIbe-
rate opinion, that he is more popular in this
State at the present moment, than he has
been at any time since the last Presidential
election; and that he will, at all future Con
venlions that may he held by the Opposition,
receive the united vote of all who are al
verse 10 the present administration Of the
General Government. Not press or indi-
yidual within our knowledge, that supported
him at the last contest, has wavered since
that period while hundreds, nay thousands
Of those who threw up their caps Tor the iii

have at least abandoned the former. Jba

buildings in Market street for some hun

were occupied as stores, the loss of pro-

very great.

The Marsh market was very much
