spread that quantity OF arms mad gone into the

At about o'clock on Saturday morning the
CITY Guards arrived and tool, possession ol the
Church. when The Committee left. During the
day on Saturday an immense crowd gathered IN
front Of the Church; but thus lar none OF the
witnesses seem 10 know anything Of what trans
prcd until Sunday morning, when the MOB to
the number of FIVE or six thousand, had collected
and planted a cannon agans: the Church. &c
manding the release of Mr.. Mayor. 1t Will be
reco!!ec;cd that Mr.. Mayor had tcen imprisoned
h, order Of Mr. Cadwallader fer throwing himself
between the military and Tic mob, on Saturday
and declaring that ii the mob were fred upon he
would be the frs, victim.
The incidents OF Sunday-.hc release OF Mr.
MAYOR by the triumphant moa-thc scuiiic with
the military, and their firing al length into the
mob, killing and wcunding several-are all fresh
in the recollection of our readers. The statements
OF the witnesses DO not differ essentially from
those made in our advices al Tie time. Some of
the witnesses arc evidently lest!ying under strong
prejudice and excitement. Alderman Mckinley,
Tor instance, makes the following statement:
The crowd dispersed when ilr. Nayor left, tSun-
dav EVENING" When the military came d0wn IN

They came down az q furious rate, sweeping every

by the officers. Some one sad clear out zen sons

after went down again; did not see any persons
with pistols or InusNeis.
All the Witnesses agree in testifying that the
military no, coming into the district Of Southwark
is regarded as triumph Of the mob, and that no
hottie or-,,;,,t;nn mr. heIrcrcrt suirt exists
among the people at present None Of the wit
nesscs believe that there is any intention to renew
the riots.
VIC have given these facts, as they appear from
the reported examinations and The certified state
mcnt Of the Committee of twenty. 1t IS not
our intention at present TO add remark or CON-
mentary OF any sort.
