Herald of the times. [volume] (Newport, R.I.) 1849-1856, 1849-05-17


We understand that, besides those mention
ed above, there were FOURTEEN persons IN the
crowd, wounded more or less severely by The
firing Of the military.
Three attempts were made TO SCI fire 10 he
building by persons inside,-malnly we believe
under the floor of the parque:le. They were
all discovered however and at once extingush-
ed. About thirty of the rngleadcrs were ar
rested, handcuiIed and confined in the Opera
House during the night, that being deemed the
safest place, and their presence being consid
cred partial security against the burning of the
House.
After the firing had ceased and the military
had firmly occupied the ground the roter;
were scattered in squads through the streets, -
arming themselves with stones and striving ,c
arouse the indignation of the thousands wh'
assembled as spectators. They met, however
with but slight success. We passed, at differ
ent times, through every part Of the crowd
which could not have numbe:ed less than
% 900 persons and yet among them all, we
do not believe there were more than fire Inn
drol, if there were so many, who took an ac-
tive part in the riot and of these nearly oil
quite hdD were boys

10 o'clock, p. M.-An immense gathering

homes lie also denounced the authorities as
murderers.
Capt. Rynders said the people must arm
themselves in case more blood was shed So
clety must be re-organizcl, ard arislocrats,
who, he said, controlled the press, and all
public officers, put down.

resistance adopted.
1t was resolved to have grandfuneral pro

to be paid by them The meeting was very
enthusiastic.
The array of troops is so imposing that there
will probably be no further riots.
