Fearful Riut in Brooklyn Several
Killed and Wounded.
NEW YoRK. Monday, -.

lNEW ORk. ~
A terrible and fatal riot took place
between the Roman Catholics AMI the
American party, at Brooklyn, yester-
day. in which it was stated seven or
eight Americans were killed, and fifty or
sixty wounded.
Last evening meeting was hell in
the Park in this city, where several Of
those who escaped fiom the slaughter in
Brooklyn spoke, all Of whom concurre'l
in the following statement: While the
Americans were walking arm in arm
down Main street. where they ha | been
10 hear street preacher, they we're su l.
denly fred upon from houses on both
sides, chiefly occupied by Irish Roman
Catholics.
The number killed is variously esti.
mated; one speaker said he saw two
dead bodies carried off; another saw
seven. The number wounded is stated
at 40 to so. The Americans retreatel
to Catharine ferry, and many succeeie |
in getting on the boat, but over one hun
dred we're left behind in the ferry house,
where they were bssieged, the boat hav.
ing .toppe running, and escape on the
other side being cut off by the Irish.
A gentleman who passed along Main.
street. about 8 O'clock and before the
procession came along, says the street
then was filed with Irishmen, armed
with stones, clubs. viniol bottles, and
other missels, awaiting the approach ol
the American party.
All rumors concur in stating that the
Americans were marching quietly along,
and paid no at,en,ion to the gfoans and
Kisses with which they were assailel'
SECOND DISPATCH.
The proceedings in Brooklyn, have
been exaggerated: only two were killed,
it seems: one policeman. and the othe,
boy, who was shot in the head. Many
are badly wounded, however.
A regiment oftrcops was ordered out,
and four companies Of Americans are
on the grond and ,he rest under arms
waiting orders. Five Irish compnnis,
took arms from the armofy and marche'
out without orders and won't to Soutf
Brooklyn. and from the scene Of riot
A collision Of the military Is feared
y the American troops say the Irish
troops shall not again enter the army
| Those who were shut up at the Cath
stine.street ferry got over safe, and ai
was quiet at eleven o'clock list night

brough by the ASIA from New York pspes Of
"1'he considerable time that has elapsed
since The receipt Of any news of Importance
from the Danube, ID itself fact Of some sig
nfcance. 1t will be remembered that the
Russian army under General Luder, effected
the passage Of the Lower Danube on the cath
of March, and succeeded in the course of the
next few days In taking the small Turkish for
tresses Of Isaktchs, Toultscha, Matschin and
Hrsova, while the Russian posts were pushed
forward without enconntering any serious re-
sistance. as far as Trasnn's Wall. In the
course of the month OF April, Prince Paskie-
witch having taken the chief command, and
reached the scene OF operations, the right wing
of the Russian army made retrogade m,ye-
mert, and evacuated Little Wallachia, there
by denoting that the plun which threatened to
turn the Turkish left by an incursion into Ser
via, and an attack on Widen, is abandoned.
This decision may be attributed to three caus-
es-nrs,ly, the position Of the Turks at Kala-
fat was too strong to forced without tremendous
loss, and behind lIalafat and the Danube lies
Widen, which could only be reduced by a
regular siege; 2ndy, the advance of the Rus
slams on that point would probably have led to
an immediate counter nj ,vement on the part of
Austria; and 3dly, the Russian army thus Oh.
