gitiUeS.-Yesterday forenoon, John

ages were, as in the cases stated in
our last, laid at $4,000, and the
defendants furnished bail in that
amount. The writs were made out
by Charles List, and are returnable at
the next term Of the common pleas,
but no one supposes that they will
ever be entered and prosecuted to
judgement. The arrest caused the
collection of large crowd in Court
square, consisting chiefly of white
people, mixed up with whom were
some colored men, who we're on hand
to "spOt" the defendants. Several
went up into Tudor's Building. where
Mr.. Coburn has his office, for this
purpose 1t was intended that both
defendants should leave the building
by the entrance on Court square, and
a carriage was brought there for that
purpose, but Hughes only had time to
get in it before the rush TO see who
was inside became so great that the
driver found it necessary to clear the
track by whipping up his team and
starting off at smart pace. One
man who was a little too.nPar the off
horse was spread out in front Of Par.
ker's establishment, but not seriously
hurt by the fall. Some of the more
excited rescuers ran after the carriage
uttering various EXPLANATIONS and
Outcries. About twenty minutes af'
ter Hughes was driven off, knight
got into a cab at the Court street door
Of the building, and WAS driven off
molestation. 1t was authors
itatively stated yesterday, that the
badly Spelt letter, purported to have
been written by him to Crafts, and
10 printed in some Of the papers, was
neither written nor sent by him.
From 6 to s last evening, Court
quare was again filed with an excil-
ng multitude chiefly colored, some of
whom displayed pistols. Another
'air of writs for conspiracy had been
,laced in the hands of the deputy
herif, and it was supposed that he
would again bring the defendants to
lis office in Tuder's building, but he
arranged the matters otherwise. 1t
5 alleged in these wriss that there
vas also a conspiracy to kidnap Crafts
wife. As soon as il was understood
hat the third arrest and bailing pro.
.ess bad been effected elsewhere, the
irowd dispersed. One colored man,
Who was on horseback, talked very
,rave about being the first to attack
Iughes and Knight, if they should
how themselves, but be did not wait
Ong.
Further, the Boston times has the
ollowing article on the same subject: |
Many Of the houses in Belknap and
cambridge streets are provided with |

,unces. Swords. dlrks, &C., are plen.
y, and bayonets "right up" The |
olored population are really reused |
n this matter, and are making their
Iouses barracks. In relation to en-
ering private houses, it is understood
hat, on inquiry Of the Marshal, Judge /
Sprague has intimated that the pro-
