A TERRIBLE AFFAIR.

Last evening about eight o'clock, a riot occur.
red in the Fifth Ward, attended with the most
lamenlabe consequences. 1t ltappears that during
the early part of The evening man by the name
of Fleck, keeper of a tavern on Liberty street,
was arrested for keeping disorderIy house.
He wastaken before Mayor Adams, who bound
him over TO Court TO answer the charge in the
sum Of $500.
During Fleck's absence mob of persons COL
lected in the vicinity Of the house, and stones
were thrown against the building.
After several stones had been thrown, a num-
Der of persons jumped out of the tavern and fired
upon the crowd, and, as the latter was dense,
with fatal effect Five persons were wounded,
three Of them, it is feared, MORALLY.
Mr.. Campbell, drayman, who resides in the
neighborhood, hearing the noise, had gone TO en-
quire the cause of the disturbance, when he was
unfortunately shot. He was bit by buck shot,
one taking effect in the neck, and the other in the
breast We are panied TO add that Mr.. c. is not
expected to survive.
We are not able to give the names of the 9TH
er sufferers, up to the hour of writing we found
it impossible 10 procure them, the greatest excite
menl is prevailing in the neighborhOod.
The shot received by Mr.. Campbell were prob
ably discharged from musket.
What adds to the enormily of the transaction
the crowd fired upon was composed Of persons
not concerned in the disorderly conduct, but who
were merely spectators. Those engaged in the
riot, were in another direction.
The following persons found in the house by
the police were arrested and brought TO the watch
house:
They will be examined by the Mayor this
morning. John Glashow, Curling Jacobs, John
Rine, Nicholas Crop, Godfrey Smith, Joseph
Kline, Henry Gudey, George Kramer, Christina
Fleck, Mary Cope, and another woman whose
name we could not ascertain.
Among the variety of stories in relation to the
origin Of this affair, ii is difficult to distinguish
the truth.
The most direct account, and apparently the
most reliable which we could hear was the fol-
lowing; the house Of Fleck, it appears was of bad
repute, aud a young man had visited ii during the
evening for the purpose Of rescuing his sister,
whom he supposed to be in the house. Being
unable to obtain her he left, and gathering few
Of his friends The affray commenced, which has
terminated so lataly.--PittS. Jour.

August Elections.

The returns of the elections held last week be-
gin to come in. They are even more favorable
than wehad anticipated. The following compri.
ses the result, so far as ascertained:
KENTUCKY.--This State was represented in the
last Congress by Wings and LocoGocos.-
From the complexion of the returns already re.
ceived, the probability is that the new delegation
will stand, 8 Wings and Locoloco. The Wings
have, so far, gained2 members: l in the 9th and
one in the 10Th District The returns, so far as
ascertained, may be summed up thus: Congress,
Wings 7, Locolocos 0; districts to hear from.
The Legslaturei Wing by anincreased majority.
INDIANA,-The delegation from this State in
the late Congress was composed Of Wings and
Locos. The Wings have already gained mem
Der in the 1st District, and elected members from
the former Wing districts; making gain of one.
The Locolocos have probably elected members
from the Cd, Sd and 9th Districts. 4Disricts TO
hear from. Both branches of the Legislature
are decidedly Wing.
The foregoing is all the reliable information
we have received from the late elections. They
are very favorable TO the Wings, and cut off from
the Locofocos their last fond hope of majority
in the next House of Representatives.
