subjoincd account from 4 New York paper,
that large cities are quite ~ often the scenes
Of disgraccful riots. We remember with plea.
sure how quietly such things pass off in our
midst. Even politics. fail to excite our sober
citizens to ~wrnngling and strife. We think
they understand the great secret of Winding
their own business and letting that of other
people alone ny well as. or perhaps better,
than any people in the world, and they reap
the rewards Of their forbcarsncc in their un.
interrupted prosperity:
A desperate and sanguinary fight occurred
ON the morning Of the Fourth of July, in the
Ninth Ward. About eleven o'clock, the iii.
herman Benevolent Society" Of Irishmcn, New
York city, were passing in procession through
Hudson street, near Abingdon square, when
ono OF kipp 4 Browns omnibuses, which Ind
been waiting for mn opportunity to pass, en-
cr6aclcd upon the line Of procession. (Sonc
boys, it appears, had thrown a pack of
crackers" near the horses feet, when they
became FESTIVE and uncontrollable.) Several
members Of the Society commenced beating the
horses, which rather made matters worse and
others mounted the omnibus, pulling the driv-
or from the seat, and brutally beating him, 80
that his life was dcspaircd Of. A boy in the
stage, about fourteen years old, was also drag
gcd ont, and beaten unmcrcifhl. A number
Of witnesses came totlie rescue, with members
of the police. The Hibcrnians became greatly
exaspcrntcd,- fighting furiously, and throwing
stones, so that the police were rcpulscd. The
latter soon rallied again, with an additional
force, and called on citizens to mid them. The
fight then become terrific and bloody, many
ON both sides receiving severe wounds. The
Hiberninns were totally routed and the pro-
ccssion broken up; three Of their banners were
torn In pieces, the slaves and poles used ms
weapons. One of the Marshnls was chased
down Hudson street to Canal, were he was
arrested, after a severe tusscl, and taken to
prison.
In NIL, forty.thrcc were arrested and confined
In the Jefferson Market, prison, thisty.six Of
whom were severely Enthusiastically the Of

The injuries were mostly scalp wounds. Some
Of the officers were hurt, but not dangerously.
Justice Stuart promptly proceeded to ~inycsii-
gate the affair.
After the riot was over, ono of the fire en-.

had n fight on their own hook,--to preserve
the peace, probably.
II was apprchendcd that an attempt might
be made TO rescue the prisoners, and IL was pro-
posed to hayc the fire companies In readiness

Police. The night passed quietly. Some Of
