Another Riot ia New York.

Another Riot ia New York.
The Me'rop0litan Police Attacked 6y a
mob Of Irish aud Germans The Md
tayy caRed into Service.
New YORK, July 10 Another dis.
graceful riot occurred this afternoon, in the
Seventeenth Ward, of very serious
character.
A mob of Eve hundred, chiefly composed
of Irish and Germans, attacked the Metro
politan polho with missiles and firearms.
The police were driven back, as were also
squad sent to their relief. Another
detachment of one hundred men was i'm
mediatcly scut to the 9ponc OF conflict, and
rcquisiton was made for detachment Of
the military.
The riot was premeditated, but was not
to take place until night, when it was
intended to commence with an attack on
the Seventeenth Ward station house.
10 o clock P. NJ The rioters have been
| fighting among themselves the whole after
noon, occasionally attacking strangers who
yentured among them, and several persons
where badly beaten on tho supposition that
they were policemen in disguise,
Four or five hundred policemen are on
the ground, and the military are held in
reserve at the Arsenal. 1t is reported that
u member of the Common Council and an
ex.Poice officer are active among the
rioters.
There was no quorum Of the City Council
this evening, and in consequence the police
are still dobarded from the use Of the police
St tions.
! Mayor Wood is no. to be found
At the last accounts, matters were com.
porotively quiet.
j be riot commenced in consequence of
IN attempt made by Coroner Perry to hold
an inquest upon the man killed yesterday,
the mob opposing his action because he is
: an American.
