4 RIOT AND BLoDsHEp.-It could hardly have
been expected, after the affair at the Third
Precinct yesterday afternoon, that riot and
bloodshed would not occur. When number OF
men, in the exercise of their legitimate and I'M
doubted rights, are assaulted with brickbats and
fired upon from the windows Of an adjacent
house, it is not strange that their resentment
should lead to excuses and serious results.
Such was the case yesterday. A number OF
persons, insane from liquor or other cause,
hurled brickbats and fred from the upper win
dows of coffee house at the corner of st. Joseph
and Tchoupitoulas streets, upon the persons
aembled below about the polls. The natural
consequence was that a great number of per
sons, indignant at this outrage, attacked the
house last evening at about eight O'Clock,
orced the doors and demolished everything
within, firing pistols and hurting brickbats
after the usual fashion of an enraged crowd
| who believe they have right on their side and
care not for the consequences. With the deepest
regret we have learned that this violence re-
suited in the death Of q man named Edward
Burns, who received pistol bullet in the left
side and expired in short time after. To show
| too how senseless is the violence of mob, we
state that this man was identified with and had
| been acting for the very persons from whom he
| received his death. Deceased was q carpenter,
and lived we believe at the corner of st. Thomas
and Benjamin streets. We learn that several
other persons have received injuries in this
| affair. s.A
INoUEsT.--An inquest was held yesterday, by
| Deputy Coroner Terrell, on the body Of man
named James Finley, found dead on ST. Charles

pears that deceased fell from his coal cart upon
| the pavement, and one of the wheels passed over
him, dislocating his neck and crushing it in a
