MORTON McMICHAEL,
MON D A Y.

All was comparatively quiet, if we except the
movements of the military at different points, the
frequent arrival of country troops, giving the city
the aspect and hustle of garrison town, and the
knots ofmen at every corner, anxiously discussing
the terrible events of the day and night previous.
No violence took place after daylight on Monday
morning, though bitter threats were made, and it
was said that tremendous preparations were going
forward by the rioters.
During the afternoon, committee from the
Commissioners of the District of Southwark, wait
ed upon Major General Patterson, & requested him
to withdraw the troops at Clock pledging them
selves to preserve the peace IN the District The
General replied that if the Commissioners would
satisfy him that they were able, and could preserve
the property and peace of the District he would is
sue an order for the withdrawal ofthe troops.
Committee also waited on the Sheriff for the
same object, and, that, after consultation with
the Judges of the court of Quarter Sessions, the
Sheriff and Major General concluded, from the
Courts recommendation, to withdraw the troops,
and General Patterson then issued order to with
draw the troops. The County Board, by advice of
mendaton.
The following is list OF the dead and wounded,
SO far as we have been able to complete it. 1t does
not include all, however, for the number of wound
ed cannot be less than fifty, and the dead must
amount to fourteen or more. The military have
behaved with wonderful courage and forbearance,
and the services the country troops well as our
own cannot be too highly rated.
