tanned, as had previously been the case at
IO'Brien's, was shiversd and thrown into
the street At or before this stage Of The
proceedings, a number of fremsn appeared
on the ground, under arms, and notwith-
standing the most strenuous efforts on the
part Of the Mayor and police to restofs or
der, they were nenaced, threatened, and
ordered off the ground. At their extreme
peril, however, q anmber of the ~riotefs, ga
both sides, were arrested, and conducted to
the cslaboose. The fremen and their
friends numbered several hundred, which
the inadequate police force, together with
the p~rsiseworthy interference of a large
number Of citizens, were unable TO check;
and after the destruction of Murphy and
Shannon's houses, they scattered them
selves over the northern part of the city,
and, until nearly 10 O'Clock, were parading
in lsrge squads through the principal streets.
Shortly after the destruction Of the houses
on the Levee, a large detachment marched
up Cherry street to the coffse-house Of Jas.

ticls psrtaining4o the bar or house, was left
untouched-every thing in the shape Of
furniture and fixtures was broken or cut to
pieces. After demolishing this, the fourth
house, they next proceeded to q coffee and
boarding house on the corner Of Fifth and
Morgan sts., occupied BY Terrance Brady;
and here, after q thorough demolition Of
every thing, both above and below stairs,
not forgetting the windows and doors, took
place.
After the destruction Of the interior Of
the last named house, the rioters began to
disperse and squads Of armed men became
thinner in every direction. Severalfurther
arrests were made by the police. A man
was taken at the corner Of Collins street
and Broadway, armed with 9 club and en-
deavoring to excite a crowd. As he was
being conducted TO the calabcose an excited
mass followed, but no effort was made .,
rescue. He was recognized and held to
bail. The crowd thinking he had been en-.
tirely released dispersed quietly, and no.
thing further trsnspired until about II
o'clock, NJ. when q small squad attacked
the Reservoir coffee house on Broadway.
kept BY VIM. Curran, the doors and win.
dows were stove in, and several stones
thrown into the house, but nc further dam
age done. This was the conclusion up to l
o'clock, P. NJ, and during the afternoon
every thing remained quiet. Besides the
houses named there were several others
entered. but not materially injured. The
interiors Of FIVE were entirely demolished,
eli sailor boarding and coffee houses. To.
wards night there were some slight demon
strations of q renewal Of the scenes Of the
day; . crowd collected ct the corner Of
Fifth and Morgan streets, and a dstach-
ment Of police was sent to keep order. In
front Of the several engine houses crowds
were collected, but up 10 late hour all was
quiet. The Mayor ordered an additional
,police force, and FIFTY citizens were detailed
for the purpose Of keeping order during the
might. The st. Louis Greys were called
on BY the Msyof, and held themselves in
freshness until 4 late hour Of the night.
