New York Nov 6, LBS p. m.-The cleo
| ton was remarkable for the general quiet
that prevailed in the city, despite the in
tense party feeling that ran with great
! nerceness in every district, from the bat
! terry to SpuytendyVit. With the exception
! of a few ordinary encounters, there was
! no happening that could be called riotous

seemed TO be in.
