New PUBIC HALL.-We were present at
one Of the exhibitions Of Waugh's Italia, re-
Gently given at the Odd Fellows Hall, when it
was crowded to its utmost capacity, every inch
Of sitting or standing room, being iuley occu-
pied, and the idea passed across our mind, what
If any accident should now occur? Suppose
an occasion should arise to excite the fears of
an audience so densely packed. Suppose for
instance an accident like the recent fall Of the
plastering of the ceiling in the Asbury church;
an accident slight in itself, bnt which pro-
dnced d terrible excitement, which was, how
ever, providentially attended with no loss Of
life or limb. But il similar accident had
occurred in the Odd Fellows Hall ON the eve
ming in question, the consequence won Id have
been terrible. There were no means Of cgress,
the passage or aisles being occupied by scttees,
and had the terrible passion Of fear been ar
ouged in that audience, the weak would have
been borne down and crushed in the panic that
would have taken place, and the loss of many
lives might have been The consequence. An
audience should never, under any crcumstan-
ces, be thus pcnned in rs helpless as flock OF
sheep But the idea impressed itself upon our
minds, of the great want in our city, OF a hall,
where the liability 10 such accidenta need moi
be feared. No one disputes the fact, that the
city needs better public hall Than any now
existing. This want, ii is proposed to supply,
and meeting in reference to the subject, is to
be held this evening, at the City Hall. A hal
such as the Young Mems Association propose
to erect, has other accommodations Than thai
of supplying this public want. The objects o.
the Association cannot be fully carried ou
without such an accommodation is provided
for its library reading rooms, lectures, &c.
and the immense influence for good that al
Association is capable OF exeuing should max,
its welfare an object Of interest to every either
who takes an interest in the advancement o
our city, in intelligence and virtue.

Hannah White.
@ where should l make my moan,
Now that my dear friend has gone:
She to rest has early gone,
She to Paradise has fled.
God forbids her longer stay;
God recalls the precions loan,
He hath taken her away,
From her home nutb his own
Surely what He wills is best;
Happy in His will we rest
! loved thee lear Hannah;
My friend ! loved thee dearly
And though we ouly met to part;
How sorrOwful-how severely?
Thy years, my friend, were few,
AS angels morning visit;
Tint came aud vanished with the dew
Twas here-Twas gonc-where ia it?
Weep not for nanny friends,
Nur greye tknt am gone
Let reason dry your falling tears,
And cease my friends to mourn
Oh let 10 vain nor worldly care,
BY you remembered be,
But hasten only to prepare
To come and dwell with me.

A terrible riot occurred on Saturday and
Sunday among the Irish laborers employed at
the Bergen tunnel, Hudson, n. j. This tunnel,
which is through Bergen hill, is intended to
afford the New York and Erie Railroad Com
paiiy access to the piers Of the Loeg Dock
Company. Twelve hundred lrshmen were
employed in the tunnel, divided into night and
day hands. These were composed about equal
~ of the famous factions COrllonianS and Far
downers, each settled in Il o6lony by itself i'll
large temporary shantieS. On Saturday, being
regularly paid oil, all hands got drunk and Il
light was soon raised, which, beginning with u
few, spread until about four hundred persons
were engaged in it. From one O'Clock in the
afternoon they fought desperately with clubs,
stones, and fists until nightfall, when four of
the slantieS were fired and burnt. The battle
then ragged so liercely that the sheriff sent to
Jersey City and lIoboSenlor aid. TO this four
fire companies responded with about four hun
dred men. On arriving upon fhe ground, the
fireman formed in regular order, led by their
officers, and charging with fierce yell which
struck terror into the hearts Of the Irish, they
rushed upon the mob, scattering it in all di-
rectons, and putting a stop to the battle
They arrested number of persons, one Of
whom they caught in the act of firing Il Shanty.
Soon aftcrward four military companies arrived
upon the ground, which they took possession
Of, secured the whole neighborhoed, and ar
rested fifteen of the bruised and battered COM
batunts. On Sunday afternoon the fight was
renewed with desperate feroclty, but the mill
tary, which had been withdrawn, returned to
the scene, and arrested a number of the par
ticipants The whole number arrested isabout
fifty, nearly all of whom are so dreadfully bat
tered, cut and smashed up about the head, as
scarcely to be recognized .Thcscenes in the Jail
and among the shantics are described as re-
voting. Seven OF the wounded are not ex-
| pectcd to live.
