Scene of the Riots---Eight O'Clock We'd
nesday Morning.
The Monroe Guards, under the
command of Captain Small, have Just
arrived on the ground, a~greeably TO
the order of Gen. Cadwa!lader, isSu-
ed last night. The jackson Artiller-
isis, Captain HubelI, and the Nation
al Guard, Captain Tustin, who have
been upon duty all night, are about
moving off. being now relieved by
the Philadelphia Cadets. Captain
White, and the Moroe Guards. A
large nsmber Of persons have already
assembled to view the scene of last
nights devastation. bat all seem
~pcaceable and orderly. Guards are
stationed at various points FOR the
protection Of property. and the indi-
catlons are that no further violence
will be resorted to, although several
exciting rumOrS are aflOat.
The neighborhood of the late riots
is crowded by hundreds of persons.
Some as spectators. others engaged
in searching the premises of the re-
naming Irish inhabitants for fire arms.
In several houses, which were par
italy deserted, fire arms were found,
and also in out.houses and cellars
A large pig sly, on the lot immediate
iy in the rear of the scene oil confla-
grafton, was demolished by some OF
the mob and a gun found under the
floor. A detachment of the military
are posted there, a portion OF them
on guard around the ruins of the fire.

house destroyed, il is SAID, had 500
in her house, which is at present the
object IF search. The Irish popuIa.
ton are removing from every quarter
IN the vicinity unmoieSted. An Irish.
man was taken from 4 house where 1t
was suspected there were fire arms.
At first he denied there being any,
but upon examination two or three
pieces were found heavily loaded
He was arrested and taken TO the
lookup house in the Northern Liber-
ties. On the way down he wa al
most killed by the mob. In St. John
street. near Poplar, a number of vol
ces cried out chang him, hang him.
but this was not done, and he was
with great difficulty put into the lock
up. A portion OF the military are
posted around the dead body of an
lrishman, named JOS. Rice, who was
killed the night before while looking
over a fence, from behind which, it Is
alledged, he had fired at the crowd.
1t is reposted by 4 man who resided
IN the centre of the scene OF rlet,
that sever or eight Of the tenants Of
one Of the houses destroyed by fire,
persisted in the flames.
We have no doubt of the truth of
the report, and believe that many 9th
ers persisted of whom we nave no &C
count, and perhaps never will know
definitely. Mr.. Peale, who was
wounded yesterday, has had his arm
amputated. We have heard of sew
eral persons who were wounded, and
two or three reports Of others who
were actually killed; but not know
ing the facts, we refrain from making
any statements in regard thereto, un-
til we shall have obtained s%atistacto-
ny information or knowledge about
them. We were in error, Yesterday,
in stating that the Carroll hose car
riage was destroyed. 1t was the Hi
hernia hose.
