by me in front Of North Market Hall. AL
the newspapers in the city denounced me, aud
published daily articles encouraging personal
violence, reminding The people that in 1850, Oh
the passage Of the Compromise Measures, l
had returned and succeeded in quelling m OUT
break against those measures, and that this
thing could lot be done second time. Know
Nothingism had, pending the Nebraska bill,
been organized in the United States for the

men had organized inlO Known othiug lodge,
and probably included within those lodges
ninetenths Of all the men in the city. 1t was
ascertoined that they secretly determined aud

Description Of Vienna,


A foreign correspondent writes l
Although Vienna is already a vast cityof nearly
TIN Scn miles circumference, yet the amount Of
improvement and building that is going forward IS
very great The old city Of Stadt is about three
miles in circumrerence, and was built chiefly in
tie middle ayes, and was, consequently densely
hacked t gethcr within a wall that was Ciected for
defense. It Is a curious old houeycomb, that old
city. The streets run crowded about; they are
gon orally only from twelve TO twenty feet wide
often not more than eight; tho houses tower many
stories high, and away down between them tho
sun IS scarcely ever seen,
Hundreds Of houses are built entirely over The
street, so that carriages drive directly through the
house, as il were under arched ways, long and
narrow and dark. Gas burns here day a. d night.
Il is surprising what n limited extent Of room a
poor family will occupy, the tradesnan working in
the same room occupied by his family. Hele you
are shaved for two aud a quarter cents, your boots
az c mcndod for five cents, you make a substantial
dinner Of soup, beef, potatoes and pudding for
fourteen cents, and 20 tforth, The seine pave
men { Of solid, square stones, extends all the way
across the streets. aud you walk in the middle Or
on the side, az you con lud room among the rat
Ting carriages. You seldom enter a hotel or q
store, or a largo private dwelling from the font,
but 90 in tho coach way, which leads to the inner
court, aud turn to the right or left.
