were leveled, and the troops only awaited the sig
nal to fire, when fortunately the showering of
stones ceased.
The Police, who had already sixteen persons
arrested, now began systematic attack upon the
remaining rioters, and with such success, that in
\ few minutes upwards of twenty-five or thirty more
were safely deposited in the vaults of the Opera
| House. The crowd kindled bonfires in the Bowery
| which only served to render the dsturbers more
| conspicuous, and in less than half an hour they
| were nearly all either taken scattered. The
organization and efficient action of the Police

| that no violent mob of such an extent was ever
more promptly and successfully quelled. As the
Captain of each Division called, the answered
immediately, formed in order. and made running
charge upon the offenders, which was in all cases
| irresistible The Chief, Mr.. Matsell, as well as
| the Sheriff, Recorder, and Justices of the Wards
| exercised the most constant vigilance long as
| there was any apparent danger. Several bodies
of cavalry did good service by keeping the Bowery
| clear in the neighborhood of the square
When we left at midnight, order was almost en-
tirely restored. Several cOmpa MES had been dis
charged for the night, as the streets quiet,
+ and no sign of disturbance had occurred in any
| other part of the city.

ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS AND INCIDENTS
The excitement in relation to the riots has almost
entirely subsidized. The general feeling of the pub
lie appears to be in favor of the measures taken by
the city authorities. There are still threats to be
heard in quarters but the awless heat of pas
sion which brought ON the late deplorable occur
