about O'Clock, and was cordially received by
the brethren. Mr.. Gardner said he had been
down TO Mott street and saw Gov. Hoffman who
was then making out the orders for their protec-
uon, ana promised a full military escort. He
wished them to march as close as possible in a
body, and not to struggle about. If they would
do this and not violate the law they need fear no
danger. Gov. Hoffman advised them TO be
peaceable, and leave the protection" in his
(Gov. Hoffman's) hands. Gen. Shaler asked
their probable strength, and was answered that
IN consequence of yesterdays proclamation. a
great number had resolved to remain at home,
but there would be about ] 600 out to-day. He
asked them not to carry banners. but this propo-
sltion could not be entertained by the members.
Music and banners they would have at any price,
or they would not join in the procession. Gen.
Shaler, in conclusion. said: "Well. YOU can car
~ what you please" resolution was then
proposed by MIR. Burten, and seconded by Mr.
Askin, as follows: "That the thanks of this order

procession. The master then proceeded to exhort
the brothers to keep the peace, and maintain
their dignity, and on no account TO retaliate any
blows or insults when on the march. If any
brother leave his place in the ranks or behave
The speaker continued for some time, impressing
on his hearers the necessity of being peaceful
and to rely on the authorities for protection One
brother was pointed out as well known to the
Irish Catholics, and he was requested not to 90
out, for if he did there would surely be a riot
MIR. Thomas Bennett then offered up a PRAYER
for the Divine protection on this great day. A
question soon arose concerning the ladies present
The ladies were not afraid, and wished to parade
also, or go in q stage; but on this being put to
vote was lost. They then agreed to go to their
homes and await the results of the day.
MOVEMENTS OF THE HIBERNIAys,
In the vicinity of Hibernia Hall, in Prince
street, an excited crowd throughout the forenoon
evinced the greatest anxiety to attack the
Orangemen, regardless Of conseQuen ces There
was apparently no lack of courage nor of deter
mination. Two things were wanting, however,
leaders and arms. The Hibernians and their
allies became indignant with the men who had
hitherto presided at their councils, and removed
them, and these self-appOinted commanders
ineontinentiy disappeared without handing over
the arms and ammunition for which the poor dupes
had contributed their hard-earned money
Some attributed this action to motives of pr1-
dence as it would be most fool-hardy to attack
the professionals when protected by the entire
military and civil power OF the city. Others
insinuated treaehery or peculation. A regular
panic ensued when the disappearance of the
leaders became known. There were gathered
fully five thousand determined men, Several of
them formed and marched to the corner of Null
berry and Hester streets, where there is Fenian
armOry, but the person in charge refused to hand
the weapons over to unauthorized parties some
were disposed to take the arms by force but
better reason prevailed and the disturbers
marched back to Hibernia Hail. where stormy
meeting was held and repeated calls
were made for the President OF the Irish Conyen-
ton and his colleagues, but they did not appear
The dissatisfaction was universal, and many
went quietly to their homes, seeing that nothing
could be done. AT length, at twelve O'clock
about FIVE hundred rash fellows armed only
with revOlvers and knives, formed four deep and
marched through Prince street to Varick and
thence along 9Th avenue to 18th street where
they crossed over to eth avenue, up which they
marched To 9th street. There a halt was or
dered, and the men took a much needed rest
after their rapid march under the broiIing sun
All along the line of march crowds collected To
see the Hibernians pass by, and the general feel
ing expressed. was contempt for their small
and their want of arms. None imagined
that they would be crazy enough TO begin an at
tack. These deluded men, however expressed
their determination to have brush with the
OraTgemen before the day is over. They have
thrown out scouts, and intend to watch their
opportunity and sWoop down upon the procession
from some of the side-streets, where they could
mako a flank attack with most effect.
THE TERRIBLE SCENES on EIGHTH AyESry.
The Express gives the following particulars of
he march of the Orangemen and the slaughter
en- Sth avenue:
'At half-past 2 O'Clock the Orangemen ap-
peared and formed in 18th street. The process
ion started amidst the Misses of the mob, who
yelled like demons, but were kept within bounds
BY the clubs of the police. Inspector WaIling
the advance, and Inspector ,Jame-
son the rear. No sooner did the marshal of the
Orangemen mount his horse, than the crowd in
18th street, between 9Th and Sth avenues made
an onslaught on the police, rushing towards 9Th
avenue, where they were met by the police who
drove them back with their cisbs, only to stand
n far more vigorous attack by the mob. The
officers stood the bricks which came flying right
and left, with great bravery, and even fOrbear-
ance. Sergeant Mccullough, of the 22d regi-
ment, was wounded with brick in the knee
THE FIGHT
stopped for moment, and the column moved
down the avenue for two or three blocks when
q large number of men and women appeared on
the housetops, at the windows, and other places
where they could command the position. ON
the southeast corner OF eth avenue and oath

foor of which one ban Ryan keeps LIQUOR
store. In front of this store a large wooden
awning rms, under which anews-stanli is placed
I his was the spot which, it seems, had been Sc
lected by the mob as a favorite point of attack.
From the top OF the awning, behind the news
stand, and the open windows came the loud and
insult NJ cries, when suddenly a woman in a
a nameless vessel which had stood there, threw
1t upon the police, who made rush for the as
sailants.
PISTOL SHOT

on the left flank OF the procession nearly
abreast of the marshal on horseback, for whom
the shot was evidently intended. No sooner had
the echo of the report died away, than the cry,
80 Away from the windows" " Close YOUR shut,
teTS,'' was heard given by the miltiamen and
i've hundred muskets were pointed towards the
place whence the shot had come. The word
u Fire!'' was heard from among the ranks of the
sith, and deadly volley went towards the east
side of the street, where the windows were full
Of people, and the sidewalks were crammed
with curious people who had no business on the
spot.
A CRY OF TERROR

went rafting through windows, shutters doors,
INTO the breasts of defenceless people, while the
ruffians who had provoked the flame probably
escaped unseathed. No sooner had the sith
implied their pieces than the 7th took I'D the
IRE, and, Tor probably minute and more, the
rattle OF musketry was terrible to hear. But
when the smoke had cleared away, the sidewalk
laid strewn with

On the northeast corner of 9th street laid the
bodies of two men and a woman. A little further
