Bishop Bedini, the Apostolic Nuncio Of the
Pope OF Rome, oficiated in the religious cere-
monisls at the Catholic Cathedral, yesterday
morning and afternoon. The most violent
animosity is enter tanned by the German So
clety oi Freemen, against this divine, and
members of the association assembled, about
ten O'Clock last night, to the number of FIVE
or six hundred, at"Freeman's Hsil," on Vine
street about Twelfth; and after organizing
and choosing their leaders marched in body
down Vine st, to 9th, and out 9th to Plum,
being 10 the vicinity Of the residence Of Arch
Bishop Purcell, where the PJpe's Nuncio is
soJourning, as is supposed, with the intention
oI mobbing the house, and doing violence to
the Nuncio'S person, or at least to burn him
in effigy.
An iatima;ion of what was to be dons was
received early in the evening by Captain
Luken Chief of Police ani after the eight
O'Clock roll call he requs sted all the police,
both day and night, to remain and await Or
ders Mt man among them knew the pur-
pose for which they were detained, but silent
ly obeyed his command.
Word az length reached the Watch House
that the rioters were approaching. and by the
Captains orders the men were all stationed
in front o! the Watch House, OF either pave
ment. As the Freemeu approached they set
up dismal groan accompanied with the
cangings of most discordant music, and at
the word of command each policeman rushed
forward and grabbed his man.
The scene which followed battles descrip-
tion, tor a few moments the melee was gen
eral; many pistol shots were fred and shouts
and exrcrations filled the air. The rioters
soon fled but were pursued by the police, and
over sixty captured and secured Every eel
in the watch house was full of mer stand iny
upright, many of them badly injured. Henry
Carroll, policeman of the End Ward, was shot
through the leg. Our Reporter could hear of
! no Others OF the police being badly injured
The riot was almost Immediately qnelled,
and at the time of writing this article, all was
| quiet, although further violence was anticipa-
ted.
The cause Of the existing anmosi,y against
the Nuncio, is said TO be lin consequence
OF belief that he ostensibly favored the lib
! erty of Italy, but really only for the purpose
of betraying them, and that, on one occasion
he caused one them to be hayed alive. We
understand that several inflammstory articles
have recently appeared in German paper,
published in this city, and that the following
is a very fair translation of one paragraph:
al the Hungarian butcher, Haynsu. met
with 50 warm a reception in Monsrchal Eng.

The Columbian contains the following addi-,
tipnal particulars. We shall be mistaken If
this difficulty stops here.
