DlS9TdcPtut On w edneSuaY nlght most
diSgraceful riot was caused by party Of some
fifty OF sixty young men, calling themselves
students of medicine, in Howard, near LeXiHg-
ton street. 1t appears that they had been to
party Up town, and were returning a short
time after ten O'Clock, making all sorts Of
noises, and disturbing the peace of the city,
when the night watch, as in duty bound, inter
fered and requested them to go along quietly.
The peaceable demand of the watch, was met
with nothing but the most violent and insult
ing language, and threats of personal injury,
when assistance was called for, aud number
of watchnen from neighboring wards, Capt.
Peregoy, of the western district, and officer
Barnard, collected at the place Of riot. All
peaceable measures were used until the officers
were finally compelled to quiet the disturbance
by auosting number Of the party, who were
taken to the western watch house, and after a
reprimand dismissed, with promise Of what
they might expect if such an affair were again
repeated We regret to have to record such
scenes. but if gentlemen will make rowdies OF
themselves, and disturb the peace, and alarm
! the quiet OF neighboThood, they must expect
not only condemnation, but exposure. A TO-
I petition may place the names of the parties
I before the public, in an unGnviabo light.
