Almost every steamer OF ample size
had band OF music aboard and the
number and variety Of airs that floated
ashore on the hazy air were something

numberof blue coats (among them, II Is
said, were some Pittsburghers,) were in
the vicinity OF Elm and BoWery this
morningwhen they spied an English flag
about eight feet long floating from a
window, and an American flag OF smaller
dimensions, This angered the blue

the place refusing to take down the
large flag, the soldiers at once made a
rush for It and stripped 1t clean from
the pole, Several windows were broken
by stones, but quiet was restored before
any one was hurt,
