THE BROOKLYN RIOT.
from the New York Times. June 81

from the New York Times, June ST.
There was terrible riot in Brooklyn
yesterday, during which some forty O,
fifty persons, either witnesses or parties
causing it, were very seriously injured
The particulars, as near as our reporters
could learn, are as follows:
A street preacher spoke according t.
announcement, at the corner of Atlantic
and Smith streets, about six o'clock
without any serious interruption. There
was an unusually large attendance, com.
posed Of the Know.Nothings from New
York and Brooklyn, numbering some five
thousand, and large crowd of Irish
Catholics and others, drawn there as
spectators. A few who became noisy
were taken in charge by the police and
locked up. When the preacher had con.
Guided, the Know-Nothings from New
York formed procession, and marched
towards Catharine Ferry, being escorted
by their Brooklyn friends. Through
Smith street, Fulton avenue, Fulton and
Main streets, they were suffered to pro-
coed without interruption, until the head
OF the procession arrived at the corner of
Main and Front streets, when one of a
party of 1rishmen nearly all intoxicated,
who hadcongregated there, threw a stone.
Scarcely had the missile left his hand ,
when he received a pistol ball in the leg,
which broke the bone. A general assault
was then made with stones, clubs, &C..
which the Know-Nothings received cool
ly, marching on steadily in unbroken
ranks, and returning the fire with pistols.
They formed in compact mass in the
open space before Catharine Ferry.
A large force of police had been detail
ed under the charge of Chief Folkes, who
acted with praiseworthy promptness and
bravery IN arresting the rioters, prevent
ing general rush on the determined
New Workers, and carrying away the
wounded. About this time two pistol
shots were fired from house near the
ferry, which was the signal for another
rush of the mob, which was received by
another volley on the part of the New
Workers.
Several persons were wounded danger.
ously, but happily none were killed. The
Chief of Police, Mr.. Folkes received a
blow of stone in the back, which disa-
bled him for few minutes, and was 9th.
erwise severely bruised, while his aids
and the police force generally received
rough treatment-many of them being
severely cut and bruised. Officer Frost
was knocked down and trampled on.
At u o'clock, the riot assumed an
alarming aspect, and orders were accord
ngly sent to the armory for the fourteenth
'egiment Of militia, under command of
Col. Jesse G. Smith, which were under
arms. The following companies arrived
lpon the ground: City Grenadiers, Capt.
Burnett; National Guard, Lieut.. Mallory; |
