The police say tue firing Of pistol was COM

party shot first may not be determined correctly
from the con rudictory statements, until the exam

four men were taken to the watch house and lock-
ed up, and the tranSparencies, ga'lows irame en-

Application was made in their behalf by Chas.
S. PomeToY, rheo. Gaines and A. Harlz, their at

until Friday morning III consequence OF the i'm
possibility Of consulting so many clients and pre-
pairing for a defence immediately. The Court so

Mr.. HaSsaurek, the editor, was arrested aud

Much outdoor excitement prevailed during the
day, in the neighborhood OF the Court House.
The Columbian of Wednesday has the following:
ait seems from the particulars which have since
ltran$piEed, that the procession was composed of
persons from the Freelnan's association, the Tur-
liners declining as body to participate in the dem
oIStration in consequence of Its being Sunday
night. The Freemsn, themselves, disclaim tue
charge of any Llot0uS intention upon their part,
further than burning the Nuncio ID efigy. Inte-
lgenee OF the contemplated outbreak must have
leaked out, as we are informed that party of one
fiNy had
previously posted within the Cathedral.
From the most reliable accounts, it would up
pear that :he association, were nppTehensiye that
the Nuneio would leave the city early ON Monday.

The number Of wounded was correct, stated
by US on Monday. Andrew Abzecker, who was
stated by the Enquirer of yesterday, TO have died,
is still living, aud hopes are entertained of his
covery. Sixteen others received pistol shots.
II is certain that the men were accompanied 10y
some two hundred women and children, and this
would lead TO the conclr sion that 10 fighting was

The trial is laid over until Friday, the persons
being held to bail in bonds of $500 each. Eighteen
however have been unable to prt cuIe securities
for the amount, and consequently are still in du-
rance. During the whole oil Monday large crowds
Of people were assembled at the corner of IVES |

Many persons anticipated another outbreak on |
the following night and the Police had aharrassing
and-vigIlent time Oft. The Mayor had also given
orders TO the Military to hold themselves in readi
ness. We aye happy to state, however, that all
passed of Quietly. In fact, wewefe well satisfied

canal, that not the slightest breach Of tRe peace
was contemplated. . ..,-..-.rl- -
