Force order as far as they were able, and Mt
The head of his police wentupon the ground;

syaid, and that building is full of soldiers.
7o'CLoCK-Qniet still prevails IN kensing-
'ton. The woods in the upper part of the
'connty are full Of the Irish, who have been
driven from the district. Their condition is
said to be pi'iable. We hear that hunger
has forced them to attack and pillace the
wagons Of the country people coming 10 mar

II o'cLocK.- We looked to-day, upon the
|sceue Of desolaiinn. All around the corners
|of the streets aud on the vacant lots, and in
the ndSt Of the ruins. hundreds Of men. wo-
men and children were gathered. The streets
were full Of furniture cars carving away
the goods of the families residing in the
neighborhood.
The number Of buildings destroyed by fre
and violence Of the mob, will probably ex-
coed fifty.
The Coroncr's report, so far, exhibits
list Of six Americans ard one Irishman kill.
ed. The number Of wounded is at least for.
ty-several, it is feared, MORALLY. There
are three or four Americans and five or six
lrshmen killed, upon whom inquests have
not been held.
The reported list Of dead and wounded, q.
far as we have been able to learn, embraces
killed IA; wounded 80.
