to break up the meeting. G. &. Burlegh. n
noted aboiitionist, was the first speaker. The
throng present listened to him awhile, and
l then broke forth in such continued Kissing
groaning and yelling that he was compelled TO
| take his seat The subsequent dongs are thus
reported in the New York Herald
He addressed in the latest style of the inf
del school; carries formidable patriarchal
| beard and is generally rs hirsute Esau
used to be; wears his hair long and in thick
| curls behind his ears. He Went straight in for
| doing away with the Union if slavery could
not otherwise BE- abolished. (Hisses) Aboli-
| honists stood on platform high at least
that of heather philosophy. Let Justice be
done, though the heavens fall. Not that they
feared that the heavens would fan !;

Burleigh continued his speech. not word of
which escaped the Boston reporters, who re-
garded it as something very fresh. The
bowling and yelling at length became SO furi-
Gus that even patient Burleigh had to retreat.
Such hubbub and confusion ensued as is per-
fectly indescrbabie. 1t was entirely useless
for the chairman TO attempt to speak. Every
word was drowned in continued how ling,
stamping, whistling and cat-calls, which the
BoWery boys would fail to initiate in their
most excited state Of mind
The chairman now attempted to speak, but
the noise and excitement became as loud rs
the roaring of the sea when dashed into 4 furi-
Gus storm Some industrious fellows in the
gallery had obtained some corn creaks, which
they ratified about with unceasing industry,
adding to the already intensely uproarious
character of the PROCEEDINGS. There We're
great fears expressed that the gallery would
some to suppose that the building was giving
way. But nothing would stop the furious dis
position of the disturhers of the meeting
The police stood quietly by, looking on. Pre-
sentiy another camp meeting hymn was start
ed and the people in the gallery having moth
ing better to do, began to pitch the cushions
OF the seats upon the audience below, in the
midst OF yelling and bowling as fprOcious a.
that of frontier Indians, the people lodging
about to escape the blows from the cushions.
Then there was increased confusion, the
meeting being al a perfect stand still The
Temple was completely in the hands of the
mob, which increased every moment
Mr.. Edmund Quincy, The acting chairman,
now came to the front of the platform, howl
roar, ''If the police have been instructed by
the Mayor to stand up and do their duty, they
will proceed 10 disperse this mob
The police did not hear & word of this ad-
dress, and remained stationary, rs before.
The people in the gallery, being entirely un-
interrupted, continued their riotous demon
strations The yelling and screaming was
perfectly deafeninG. Even the venerable folks
who carried ear trumpets were forced to dis
pense with them, so terrible the din kept
up by the rOwdieS.
Another speaker came forward and en-
deavored to make himself heard, but he was
treated to hymn TO the tune of - DiXe's
Land ~ As there was no help for il, the gal
lery boys were left TO themselves, and such a
storm of kissing and howIing as they kept up
for half an hour has rarely been heard.
AT length Geo. II. Hoyt came forward to
speak. Mr.. Hoyt is quite a young man, and
acted as one of John Browns counsel in his
trial for the Harper's Ferry raid. lie com
menced by saying, - think Garrison spoke
the sentiments of the anti sla very people of
Massachusetts, when he said, / will not
equivocatc-l Will not surrender a single
inch That is what he would say to this
mob"
The noise was still continued, the crowd be-
coming if possible more bois ferrous than be-
fore. For several minutes the tumult was
tremendous, when Mayor Wightman, with
the Chief of Police, and q posse of officers
entered the Temple. The whole audience was
now thrown into perfect CONSERVATION, il the
presence of the police, who filed the rioters
with apprehension and the tmid with terror.
The Mayor and Chief came in front of the
platform, and his Honor with outstretched
hands, appealed for silence. Presently the
crowd became more pacific at the presence of
the Chief Magistrate OF the city, and comp;tt-
att We order was restored.
The Mayor said " Fellow citizens. l am
sure that you, who are the citizens OF Boston,
will listen to the voice OF its Chief Magistrate
loud cheers and cries OF good and three
cheers for Mayor Wightman.'l Fellow -citi-
ZenS, | can only say that YOU Will testify YOUR
respect for the Chief Magistrate whom you
have elected by keeping silence, and listening
to that which l shall say. voice, we
shalt And now, inasmuch as this meeting
has been disturbed by tumultuous and riotous
proceedings, l am requested by the trustees
of this building TO dispense this meeting" ?"
"gCod " and tremendous demonstrations of
delight arose from the disorderly persons III
the galleries. A waving of hats, violent ges-
ticulations and francti outbursts OF riotous
individuals, continued for several minutes
This. they thought, was the end of the anti
slavery meeting.
The Mayor continued Fellow citizens
having announced my intention under the di-
rection of a written order of the trustees of
this Temple, | have simply to say to you that
l am you will respect me sufficiently TO
leave this place quietly and peaceabiy."
Loud cries of yes yes, arose from some
in the gallery, while the anti-slavery men on
the platform and in the body of the Temple,
who Were dissatisfied at the manner Of the
Mayors announcement, ferociously shouted
mo- no. and wanted the Mayor to produce
the evidence of his authority from the trus-
tees.
The Chairman, Mr.. Quincy, and other lead
ing members had brief conference with his
Honor, and protes ted that the trustees had
authorized no such PRONUNCIATION.
Here there was continued excitement among
the abolitonists who were now foremost III
making uproarious demonstrations. After
repeated shouts from all quarters of Read
it, the Mayor -'Gentiemen, l am re-
auested to read the document which has been
placed in my hands, and which regard as
sufficient authority for my conduct" He
read the letter, and shortly after the meeting
dispersed.

ings after fremont Temple was closed last
night by Mayor Wightman, at the request of
the trustees at least five thousand people
gathered in the vicinity, the majority beley
ing that the closing of the place was merely
ruse TO get rid of the mob.
After waiting two hours in peiting snow
storm. for the re-opening of the hall, the
crowd broke into separate parties and grad
ually dispersed.
About two hundred of the crowd visited the
residence of Mr.. Philips, in Essex street, and
threatened to .'clean him OUT but Deputy
