pose OF getting his exceency to attend in the city
In consequence OF the attack upon st. Philip de
Nerl, about noon, there were vespers IN the
other Catholic churches In the afternoon. The
excitement in the city IN the neighborhcod OF the
public offices, newspaper offices, Nc, was most
intense all day The former riots did not surpass,
II they equalled, the intensity offseling manifested
yesterday. In the evening, after the news had
been received OF the firing upon the mob by the
military, the excitement at distance continued
immense. The Aldermen OF several wards IN the
city organized special police IN their wards, who
Patrolled the streets until late hour OF the night
TO preserve order
From Philadelphia Native American, July 81
Several of the Native American party, whilst in
the church, (St. Philip de Ner) organized a meet
ing, and appointed a committee OF about 100 men
TO protect the church and its furniture, and we be-
eve they rendered essential service in their efforts
to save H. Il would, most probably have been fired
had II moi been tor the exeItIons of this Committee
The minute the crowd had entered the church,
the news was brought up 10 the head quarters, and
agreeaby 10 previous arrangements, the alarm was
announced by eight distinctive taps upon the State
House bell. The military then, as soon as they
could get ready, marched to the ground One COM
pany from Germantown, and two other companies
from the country. were ordered out and marched
TO the spot headed by band of music.
We may here state that the Markle Rife Com
pany took possession on Saturday night about half
past ten o'clock of the Meyamensng Catholic
Churcn, and retained unt halt past eight yester
day morning, when all was quiet, and remained
30 throughout the entire day in that vicinity.
AT eight o'clock several infantry and cavalry
companies marched to the around; upon arriving
they forced the people from the street at the point
OF the bayonet; some trifng occurrence which
prevented the people from retiring as hastily
desired by the officers, they ordered to fire
npon them near Second and Queen The volley
that was poured into the people produced a sad and
lamenable havoc. II was impossible TO collec the
names OF all that were killed and wounded by this
indlscreet and unnecessary fire.
the member OF the Hibernia Greens, who was
trampled upon and beaten as mentioned before, is
named Patrick Mears, keeping tavern near Sc
venth and Shipper. He was LAYING a, the Com
missoners Hall, still alive at IL o'clock last night.
At few minutes before IL, troop came dash
ing down German street, and ordered of some
four or hive citizens (amoDg whom were the
porters OF this paper) No symptom of an outrage
was then manifested, and we regret TO say, the mi
iltary from the country dcmeaned themselves in the
most violent and unclvil manner towards quiet and
well disposed people. The reporter states nothing
out what Is substantated by truth, and when men
selected to preserve the peace, so far demean Them
selves by rum, to shoot down quiet citizens, who
are prepared at all times to uphold the laws, we
must for ever bid adieu to our country and its in
sltutions.
A number, it is impossible to tell how many-of
the military, have been killed and wounded.
AT a few minutes before two o'clock this morn
Ing cannon and several muskets fired by
the military at Second nd Christian streets.
Al half past two one piece Of cannon and seve-
raj fnnskets were In posi- sslon of the mob, who
had taken position in the Sunday market, deter
mined 10 beat back the horse in they rallied
