An extensive riot occurred in New
York city on the 18th, which resulted in
| the loss of many lives. The Orangemen,
| an organization of Protestant Irishmen,
had several days before announced their
| intention of holding public celebration
on the 18th, the anniversary of the battle
of Boyne (fought in Ireland in 1850, be-
tween William the Third, of England
called William of Orange-and Ex-k King
James the Second, which battle resulted
in decided victory for William over James
and his Catholic supporters.) 1t was gen.
orally understood for several days that the
Irish Catholics in the city were making
preparations to attack in large force,
and if possible, break up the Orange pro-
cession on the 18th, and bloody times
were feared. On the 10th the city au-
thorities issued a proclamation forbidding
the proposed procession of Orangemen,
on the ground that the public peace
would thereby be greatly endangered
Governor Hoffman, on the morning of
the 18th, cOuntermanded this action on
the part of the city authorities, and an
nounced that, should the Orange Associ-
ations see fit to engage in public parade,
they would be protected by all the powers
at his command in their right to
do 50. Great excitement existed through
out the city during the forenoon of the
18th, and extensive preparations
were made by the civil and mill
mary rYthH2H55!tsS YHH5t s to pgt down in sum,
The Orange procession was formed about
half past two p. M, and numbered only
about 200 Mobs had congregated in diff
feI ent localities along the proposed line OF
march, and the police and military forces
were distributed at several points to en-
force order. The procession was fired
upon at different times, and the military in
return fired upon the rioters. The mobs
made attacks upon different localities in
the city, but were repulsed. Up to twelve
o'clock on the night Of the 18th the list of
casualties as reported at the Morgue com
prised: killed, 35; wounded, 175; rioters
arrested, about 900 Colonel Fisk, while
at the head of his regiment, was struck
with club and one of his ankles was
broken. The city was quiet at midnight.
Heavy bodies of police were patrolling the
city. The troops were in their armories,
ready to march at moments notice.

The news from New York city on the
14th was to the effect that the number of
18th would probably reach 100, while
there were over 80 severely wounded in
the hospitals. when it is taken into
consideration that only those hopelessly
wounded, and consequently taken to the
! hospital, are there, there were those
| slightly wounded slipping away and hid
| ing lest it should become known they had
| taken part in the riot, some approximate
idea Of the number of wounded may be
| had. Certainly 800 is not too high an es-
innate. Of course many were killed and
wounded who were merely spectators,
and innocent of disturbance" No Orange
men nor policemen were killed.
