~ ihe mids, OF awful times IA revo-
,s tho most fearful import, is now per-
-. ,,.a o,r once fair city. Since my last CON-
'"o' ,,s,e have been serious outbreaks in
n.-..;.,s of Southwark and Moyamensing.
A, an carly hour last evening" thousands began
,s.a,,.., y ,be vicinity OF st. Philip de Nein
C,,,.cb o,eon.stTcet and strong demonstrations
.;.Iocce were repeatedly man!i, sIed the
- many present. The conduct vi the
rCiest. Rev. ]. 2. Dunn, has been Of the mos
ce,s,7able character and vindictive IS the feel
mo toward him. All the present excitement
nav. icithout Tie fear Of truthful contradiction,
be laid 10 his account.
The Military were also carly upon the ground,
with strong body OF Police, who took possession
Of the Church. Several pieces of cannon were
drawn up in solemn array, and the whole scene
was one calculated to strike horror to the most
u,-iSearcd.
Bu, 10 the present state of affairs. At II
o'clock. Gen. Cadwallader--who has forever de
meaned hims elf in the estimation of the People
gave several orders for the cannon fronting the
church, a. well the muskeirv, to be fi,cd upon
,he multitude present. Hon. Charles Naylor, late
Member Of Congress from the Third District, In
,s,sred, and begged Gen. c. 10 countermand his
order, alleging that sooner than see his fellow
c;t;,eps murdered he wonld die himself. He was
then arrested, placed in the Church, where he was
detained prisoner until II O'Clock tins day,
,Sben about 1000 marched in front OF the build
mo. demanded his release, planting a cannon,
.haroed to the muzzle, at the same time facing
the main entrance A batterlng ram caused the
doors to give way, when the mob entered, dehed
be military, released Mr.. Mayor, and escorted
him home in 9TH near Prune, amid shouts OF
APPLAUSE Here he addressed them, and exhorted
al to retire to their homes.
At about ha!Epast one, the Irish Greens, who
ned charge-very irnprudently-of the Church,
were assailed, driven out, and forced to leave The
ground, under promise OF protection, providing
tbe7 would open the pans Of their mqtchloekS.-
This they did not do, and were consequently as
saled in running; they wheeled and fired, shoot
ing one or two persons. At Fifth and Sma-stroets
one Of them took shelter after having shot young
man from Spring Garden. He was dragged oSt
by the mob conveyed to the Commissioners Hall,
! bu, was nearly beaten and stamped to death be-
fore he reached the place.
Thousands now began to assemble in every di-
,ecton. The military were kept at distance,
being unwilling to approach, it would seem, as
their commander had proved obnoxious to them.
