A PIrcH FIoHr BROKEN uP.-About a thousand persons
assembled yesterday afternoon about four O'Clock in the
open lot in the rear of 81. Marks church, second avenue,
to witness q pitched up midtown fight between two gams
bloods ofthe fancy, named Bill Traverse and John Null

every thing had been nicely prepared for a fair start,
who should heave in sight but Justice Taylor, the eff.
cient Magistrate Of the upper police, accompanied by
officers King and Tompkins. The result was that the
fight was not fought. and the sssemblsge, which by this
time had increased to nearly two thousand, quietly dis
persea, leaving the battle ground bloodless with the ex-
ceptisn Of little that was split from the scouce Of a man
who was hit with a stone thrown by some one Of the
crowd. Justice Taylors activity thus prevented a scene
in the dsnsely populated portion Of our city that would
have been disreputable to ell parties concerned. If
people wish to fight let them go far enough off to avoid
