Continuation of the Excitement.

Bosrow, May 90, II P. M.-The iugi-
tive slave, Burns, was brought, out this
morning at the opening nlthe court under
a strong guard. The examination in the
case has commenced.
An immense crowd OF persons are out
side, and occasionally loud shouting may
be heard, but as yet no violent outbreak
has taken place.
A strong military force snll continues
in and about the Court House, under arms.
A strong police force is also ready for any
emergency.
The State soldiery will protect the city
against the mob.
The Unitad States military from The
navy yard and the ship Ohio are also in
attendance, protecting the prisoner in The
courthouse
The evidence Of Burns being the slave
of Col. Sutlle is positive. He certainly
will be rcmanded.
It is now undera,ood that the soldiers
will fire on The mob, without any hesila'
ton, in case ofanother outbreak. 6
This impression having been made upon
the crowd, it is believed will prevent fur
Their outrages.
A large crowd are now about the CourI
House, agitating the subject.
James Meson has been convicted ofmur,
der, and sentenced TO be huag after one
years imprisonment.
