now the Park Looked the Day After
the Riot.
From the London Times, July 25th.
Yesterday morning Hyde Park presented
along its eastern extremity a pitlaOle spectacle.
Between the Marble Arch and Grosvenor gate
the ratings were entirely demolished, and the
how5r-beds were ruined. Between the Gros-
Venor and the Stanhope gates, moreover, not
railing remained erect, those not actually
leveled beng forced considerably out OF the
perpendicular. This had Oeen done out OF mere
Wantonness, after mg1ess had Dcen effected at
other pomCs, as was evident from the fact of
the flowers and shrubs having escaped damage.
On the north and south sides OF the Park much
damage had also been done, the ratings htviug
been overturned in numerous places. In many
cases the masonry had oiven way. and was still
attached 70 the non work, while in others the
rails had been forced from their sockets, and
one could not but reflect what appalling results
might have ensued had the mob used them as

injured, and in fact the appearance of the north
eastern portion OF the Park was as if it had been
overrun by an invading army. Wagons were
engaged yesterday IN removing the broken rail-
ngs and shattered masonry, and considerable
sum will certainly be required to restore the
Park to Its original condition.
Between and 10 o'clock number of the
lowest rabble OF the metropolis assem- bled in the
falk near the Marble Arch, and as time wore on
their ranks were swelled by fresh arrivals until
they presented a very formidable appearance.
They evlnced their zeal TOR Reform BY dong as
much injury to the Park as they possibly could
and by insulting every body who appeared to
be more respectable than themselves. They
wreaked Their vengeance on the flowers and
shrubs by wantonly plucking them up by the
roots.
With regard to weapons, both of the opposing
parties were pretty equally matched, for while
the police had their slaves, which they did not
heslate, when necessary, TO WELD with vigOr
the rioters armed themselves with stones and
in some instances with portions of the ratings
winch had been broken down on the previous
evening. Between and Z O'Clock leading
members of the Demonstration COnmittee
proceeded to the Park, and having obtained
permission from the police authorities, ad itessed
the mob, eXhOrIing them to go peaceably away
and not commit breach OF the peace. Some
few, to their credit be 1t recorded, folio wed this
sensible advice, and quilted the Park at once;
but the vast majority OF the crowd, consisting
OF 'roughsn ana Juveniles resolutely refused to
give up the pos ton they had gained. During
Inc remainder OF the evening tne pOlICe directed
their efforts principally to forcing the mob from
the roadways, and in this they were assisted by
companies OF the Grenadlers and the Horse
Guards.
Nothing at all approaching 10 general en-.
gagement between the police and the people,
toob place during the evening, but slight scutles
occurred every few minutes, and large number
OF persons were taken into custody and con-
yeyed to the temporary place OF confinement in
the Marble Arch. These partial disturbances
continued till half past eight, when the police,
aided by the military, mustered all their strength,
and in a short time succeeded i'll clearing the
Park. Subsequently, however, a number of
persons re-entered it through the breaches in
The ratings, and the police we're for some time
actively engaged in chasing them out through
the gates. In nearly all the streets in the
vicinity knots OF NOISY boys were walking up
and down until long after nighttall hooting and
shriekng.
between 10 and IL O'Clock, however, the
tumult had considerably subsidized, and at the
last named hour the Park was entirely cleared,
and the streets in the nelehborhood had resumed
their usual quietude and tranquility. In the
course OF the evening party OF about one hun
dred 'roughs," being douhtless an Otfshoot of
the choice company in Hyde Park, made their
appearance in Pail Mall, and broke a number of
windows at the Athengum and United States
Clubs, and several private residences. Win
dows were also smashed in various other parts
of the metropolis. The rioters in these cases
appeared to be inspired by a pure spirit of
mischief, and to direct their missiles without
any discrimination as to the political sympa-
thles OF the occupants Of the houses they at
tackled.
