In the afternoon the houses on Cadwalla-
der street were fired, and burned down. No
engines were allowed TO approach them
The military force headed by Gen. Cadwal-
lader were ordered out, and about dark they
marched TO the spot where the riots and MUIR
ders had taken place. Quiet followed: all
firing ceased. Two men were seized, John
O'Conner and,Owen Daily,in a house where
another man had his arm torn by the bursting
of a gun, and another gun was found loaded
with nearly two ounces ofslugs! John Tag
CART was taken up as the murdere of rhine
dilIer, and while being conveyed TO prison
was almost killed by the mob. Nathan Ram
scy, Tobacconist, wounded on Monday, died
on Tuesday.
Later accounts, at 8 o'clock of Tuesday
the 18th represent the riots at that hour as
more fierce than ever. The Native Ameri-
cans held a meeting, and passed strong reso-
lutions againstth the murderers, Offering $1,000
for their apprehension and against being at
tackled by foreigners while treading their ma
tive soil, and discussing matters touchingt the
public good. They then proceeded TO the
scene of the riot. Here an Irishman, who
had shot ali American, was caught. Two
pistols were fred at him. He was then
seized, dragged down the street, with a rope
around his neck, and hanged il at the market
house.
The Hibernia Hose House, from which
shots were fired, was burned down. In adj
dillon, one square of houses ii Master street
was burned! Three men were killed! up
wards ofthirty wounded! and the city in a
scene Of tremendous excitement!!! Sadder
fl scenes than had occurred were anticipated
before morning.
Such is the statement as furnished
Whether exaggerated, W. are unable tc
b state. We fear, however, from the Extra Of
the Age, and from private accounts, thai
c Philadelphia was the scene of g most terrible
= riot, and that great loss of life and property
has been the consequence.
If WEDNESDAY MoRNING-Report says The
riots still continued worse than ever. Abou
forty were killed-St. Michael's Church wa

Rail Road and other places were pourin,
into Philadelphia to help their countrymcn
STILL LATER.-A mass meeting of tn
Native Americans was held on Wednesda
-(some seven thousand presently and organ
lied. II. r. Newbold was called TO tn
Chair. Vice Presidents, A. DeKalb Tar
r. w. Green, John d. Fox, John II. Gehon
Thomas D. Grover, and Col. John S. War

" John Perry.
AT One o'clock, on Wednesday the Sth
an other American was shot dead in thu
streets. The Irish were Infatuated. The
people were arming! Fire arms were dis
. covered in various outlhousesi in KensiRgton
: At 1 past 2, hundreds of Irish who fled from
: Ke~nsington, are arming themselves at Rich
! mond.
II AT P. NJ, the Riots were renewed, one
II Church burned, several buildings destroyed
and more lives lost. The number ofperson
: killed were put down in one account at so
: in another at so; and, what is more, force
: and more shedding of blood, it was thought
. could only stop the riot. We suppose The
/ church burned TO be ST. Michaels.
'e Att past a., the conflict was hotter. Moth
~ ing could check a genera! fight. The native

y way before them. 4 bloody nights worl

IN The cause ofthese riots all parties admit
