Nue hospital, last night, four died this
morning. AL parts Of the city have
been quiet to-day, and the police do not
apprehend ally further distui Dances. The
riot yesterday is the chiet topic of con.
versation, and the conduct OF the police
and military is highly praised by all re-
spectacle citizens. While the killing Of
come innocent persons by the fire is
greatly regretted, no blame is attached
to the latter on account of the occurrence,
which from the nature Of the case was
perhaps unavoidable. The Eighty-fuurth
had orders to FIRE before q piece was dis.
charged. One who witnessed the whole
affair stated that Captain Douglas was
knocked down with a bick. When he

give the order to fire which resulted in

been hit and stoned along the route

fred. Immediately y the Sixth also re-.
ceived similar direction, and The iiisillade
began. Our informant positively as.
serted that this statement was correct
in every particular, and wholly exuner-
q ates the men from ih. charge Of opening
fire on their own account. The action
of Governor Hoffman in issuing his pro.
clamation continues to be bitterly de-
nounced among the Irish, some of whom
assert that he will never live TO see

No policemen were Killed. There
that one was shot dead is incorrect. All

This morning gang of qaarrymen,
numbering probably fifty. turned out
from the purlieus OF First avenue and
started toward the upper part of the
city, with the intention oi inducing their
brethren employed on the street i'm:
provemept to knock off. The latter had,
however, seen the folly of their doings
on Wednesday, aud refused poiat blank

wished to engender another broil. All

wards and the parks, who left the public

rioters were examined, separately, and

was discharged. In all the other cases,
where weapons were found upon their
persons, the parties were committed Tor

last they bad been melted by a certain
'lass to start this riot, and when they
got into trouble theiV leaders deserted
them. So, under the circumstances, he
felt it To bc his duty to offer his services.
Most OF the prisoners who were dis
charged were severely reprinlauded by
The Justice, who cautioned them not 10

Eighth avenue, at the points wher"
the troops fired upon the mob yesterday
afternoon, was Visited to-day by thou

SCENE of carnage. Almost every house
an the east side, from 23d TO 27th street,
bore marks oi ,he terrible discharge OF
muske,ry. One house had all the WIN
dows shattered, and sashes aud blinds
riddlcd by the bullets. The pavement
was clotted with blood Rul few peo-
pie living in the neighboihood Of the
attack were killed. Store keepers admit
