News from Mexico and California.
The Picayune of the Bth inst, contains more
than a column ot interesting news brought by
the ship Tyrone from Vera Cruz, which reach
ed New Orleans on the 7th, with dates to the
21st April from the city of Mexico. The Pic
ayune of the 9th, has further intelligence
which we publish in full. The Mobile Adver
tiser gives the following epitome of the news
by the Tyrone.
The accounts we copy this morning from the
Picayune, taken from Mexican papers received
per ship Tyrone, and relating to California,
are continued by private letters received at
New Orleans, dated as late as the 7th March.
Lhese letters confirm the previous ac
counts of the vast amount of gold gathered
on the Sacramento ; also, the fact of the stea
mer California being laid up at San Francisco,
caused by the entire desertion of her crew —
leaving the captain and first mate alone in
their glory. The steamer was detained some
time at Mazatlan, on her trip up, in wooding,
her coal having run out. It is impossible to
say when she will be able to leave on her re
turn trip. •
The town of San Francisco was crowded to
overflowing at the date of the letters; and
speculation in “town lots" exceeded the wild
est and maddest era of speculations of '36-7
in this region. Choice lots were selling for
$20,000, $25,000, and even $30,000. Not for
the promises to pay, but for the “dust” itself.
Even in the wet season—when there is no
work going on the diggings, attendants at the
hotels, restaurats, &e., are paid SIOO to $l5O
per month; and when operations commence
in the gold region, it is impossible to say what
labor will command. Ox teams receive SIOO
per day for hauling. Glorious times—labor
dictates to capital.
A diligence, on its way from Vera Cruz to
the city of Mexico, was attacked by robber
near Plan del Rio. The Americans it cons
tained, headed by Col. Ramsay, of Pennsyl
vania, ol the late lltli Regiment, resisted and
beat off the banditti. In the skirmish, Mr.
Charles M. Bugbee, of New York, was wound
ed, and died. Mr. Bugbee was
Netv York.
Sun the Mexican
war, and was an active and highly interprising
man.
In addition to these we select from the Pic
ayune the following items :
The Mexican boundary commissioner left
the capital on the Bth ult. for San Diego, to
meet the commissioners of the United States.
He is bound by the treaty to be there on the
31st inst. An escort of 250 cavalry accom
panies him, and hey were to be furnished with
rations for one year. The following are the
names given: Commissioner, Gen. Don P.
Garcia Conde ! Surveyor, Don J. Salazar e ll
arregui; Ist Engineer and Secretary, Don F.
Jimenez; 2d do., Don F. Chavero; 3d do., Don
A. G. Conde; 4th do., Don B. Rarniriz; In- i
terpreter, Don F. de Jesus lturbide.
In the province of Sonora the depredations
of the Indians have lately been most horrible.
A shocking act of inhumanity had been
perpetrated by the captain of the national brig
Republieano. It appears that this vessel sail
ed a short time ago from San Bias with passen
gers for California. Two or three days after
she was at sea the captain, Don N. Patino,
found that a Frenchman had come on board
surruptitiously without paying his passage.
Patino wished to throw him into the sea, but
was prevented by the passengers. He drew
near the shore, and in spite of the entreaty of
the people about him forced the unfortunate
Frenchman to disembark on a sand bank en
tirely surrounded by the water, and which
was at high water partially overflowed. Here
he was left with a few biscuits and six or eight
pints of water ; the humane passengers added
a small quantity of plantains. On the arrival
of the brig ut Mazatlan a complaint, was lodged
against Patino, and Gen. Inclain, the Govern
or, ordered his arrest, at the same time des
patched a small craft to ascertain if the ill-fa
ted Frenchman was still alive on his desolate
sand bank. The poor fellow was found at the
last extremity of suffering from exposure and I
starvation, the bank not affording the slightest |
shelter from the burning sun, and for the most
part being under water. He was taken on
board, and after some time, with judicious care
he revived, when the vessel returned to Ma
zatlan. Gen. Inclain deserves the thanks of |
every philanthropist for his prompt humanity, i
The wretched Patino will be punished for his I
cruelty.
The Monitor of the ‘2oth denies the report I
that was current in the capital the previous]
day, of the surrender of the city of San Luis ;
de Potosi to the Indians. That, intelligence !
had reached New Orleans, but it was wholly j
.without foundation.
The wild Indians continue their ravages un- j
punished, almost unopposed, thoughnut Mexi- j
co. Mr. St. James Lane, a citizen of the Uni- j
ted Stales, has presented a petition to the Gov- !
ernor of d*° "* < -v- i
vtVidSvm to be allowed to wage war on those j
savages “on his own hook,” He stipulates I
that all the plunder lie makes from them shall |
be conceded to him as his own; that he be paid j
SSO for each seaip he presents; and in case of j
the Governor’s preferring to receive the In- j
ilian alive, lie shall receive SIOO for each sode- I
livered. This is extracted from the Saltillo j
Herald, and inserted in the Monitor of the 2"th |
ult. We know not what answer was giveh to i
the chivalrous Don Santiago Lane, S'orte Arne- !
•ricano, as the Mexicans wondrously call him.
*. In Sonora the Apaches made a descent late- !
iy, and almost exterminated the population
of two villages.
The progress of the Indians in the Sierra is j
quite alarming Since the capture as Rio j
Verde, the city of San Louis Potosi has been
put under martial law. The troops marching i
from Tula against Quiroz, their leader, will, it
is expected, force them back into the tnoun- j
tains.
Overflow of the Mississippi
From the following accounts, derived froni *
the New Orleans papers, it appears that that :
city is in danger of great damage and of par- I
tial inundation from the crevasse above Car- j
rollton. One of the editors of the Delta, in
describing liis trip up the river, to attend the 1
State Democratic Convention at Baton Rouge, \
gives the following account of the food:
“The high stage of the fiver renders the]
coast by no means an attractive place of resi
dence at the present time. The river looks
very threatening, as if the slightest fhcrea.se or
agitation of the water would send it over the
levee in one vast and irresistible torrent. We
observed several crevasses along the coast, the
most serious of which are those at Sauviet’s
plantation, in Jefferson parish, and at Brule's,
-n West Baton Rouge. The former is of small i
*ize, but the water has inundated the whole ]
surrounding country, and appears to be How- [
mg towards the rear of the city. The crevasse \
at Brule s, in West Baton Rouge, presents tru- \
ly a melancholy sight; the water Hows over i
the bank, in an immense stream, and with
great velocity, causing something like Falls in
the river. The country inundated was chiefly
(settled by poor people, wood-choppers, and
-mall farmers, and they have all been compel
led to leave tl.eir homes, which are overflowed
and can only be reached by boats. We ob
served a neat little church, surrounded by the
water several feet deep, and a graveyard, from ;
which only the tallest tombstones can be dis- j
covered, peering above the surface of the |
water.”
i he following is from the same number of :
the Delta— that of the 9th inst:
O veuflo w.—The overflow caused by j
w ini v1 et’ inn, above j
< 'arrollton, is fast spreading into the city. At i
dark, last evening the water had reached as j
tar as Benton street, in the Second Municipal- \
ity, and was covering the whole outer suburb j
of that part of the city. A very short distance |
beyond the warehouse, its depth in the swatnp
was two and a half to three feet, and Carroll
ton Avenue was covered several inches deep.
At the half-way house it is as high as the new i
shell road. The canal is trom two to three ]
feet hi, her than the usual level at high tide,
and would run over the bank on the north
side, and thus find its way to the middle and
lower parts of the city, but that a slight levee,
about a foot high, has been raised. About 20
hands were at work last evening, completing
and stronthening this levee. Already the da
mage to property in the rear of the Second
Municipality, by the flood, is serious, and fall
ing generally upon persons in struggling cir
cumstances, is the more heavily felt. The
crevasse, we learned, was yet open yesterday
afternoon.
We copy, also, what follows, from the Pic
ayune of the 9th inst.
The Crevasse We regret to state that the
accounts from the crevasse last evening were
not of a very cheering character. The water
in the swamp above the new canal is gradual
ly rising, and has already reached Hercules
street in the back part of the Second Munici
pality. It is also approaching Lafayette, hav
ing reached the Carrollton Railroad a short
distance above the upper line of the city. Our
city authorities are, however, confident that
any serious damage in town can be prevented.
The lower bank of the New Canal is being
raised so as to prevent an overflow, the whole
force of the three M unlcipalities being engaged
in the work. We trust that these efforts will
save the city, although we are compelled to
admit that the aspect of affairs is much more
serious than has generally been supposed.
Since writing the above, we have seen a
gentleman direct from the scene of disaster,
who states that the planters in the immediate
vicinity of the crevasse almost despair of clos
ing it, and unless they should meet with early
success, they will abandon all further efforts,
saying that they have already sustained all
Jhe damage that cafi be dope. The breaeh
*"*« last evenine. about If d feet wide, and the
P-7
immense volume of water pouring through it
seems to defy all efforts to resist it. The fol
lowing extract .from a note we received last
evening—we have not room for the whole of
it—indicates the feeling by which they are
animated:
Sauvk’s Crevasse, Parish of Jefferson, )
Tuesday, April 8, 8 o’clock, p. m. J
My Dear L You left us last night full of
hope, and the cheering news that the crevasse
would be stopped to-night must have spread
as fast as your paper. But we spoke under
the impression that men and materials would
be furnished us immediately. Neither one
nor the other have arrived; and it is now a
matter of doubt whether we will succeed or
not, and at all events it will not be before tour
or five days. My impression is that the works
will be carried off when both ends are brought
together, front want of materials to consoli
date it. Should this happen, we will give if
up, as we are no longer working for ourselves.
All the damage which could be done to us
has already been effected, and we are only dis
charging the duty of protection which we owe
to our neighbors.
One hundred men were to be sent us yes
terday. They went to Carrollton, and from
thence were marched off to this place, nine
miles above, wheeling wheelbarrows, (for
which we had no use) and carrying then
tools. After marching four miles, they very
properly declined going any further, and this
is the last we heard of them.
Let the responsibility lie where it belongs
—no one can complain of not having been
warned in due time. We have not met with
the sympathy of the city, and have been left
half a dozen planters—to contend against
the mighty stream of the Mississippi.
Yours, &c., f. t.
[ From the A’. (J. Picayune , 10 tli inst.]
The Crevasse at Sauve's-
The news from the crevasses last evening
was again of a very discouraging character.—
At 3 o’clock P. M. the work was progressing
finely, and strong hopes were entertained that
the breach would soon be closed. At that
time a damper was put upon the confident
anticipations of the laborers by a timber raft,
which was drawn toward the crevasse by the
strong surrent, and striking one' of the pile
drivers, drove it from its moorings, and sent
it nearly through the breach. Discouraging
as this accident was, it was exceeded by one
which took place in about half an hour after
wards. Another and a larger raft came rush
inn towards the crevasse and against the
works, tearing away the steam pile-driver and
several piles that had been driven. Twelve ne
groes, belonging to Minor Kenner, Esq., were
on the pile-driver at the time the accident oc
curred, and but for their presence of mind in
promptly jumping on the raft, they must have
been drowned. The raft swung round after
striking, again floated off, but the steam pile
driver was left aground in the breach at the
time the friend to whom we are indebted for
the above particulars left.
Notwithstanding these disheartening events,
we are happy to state that the efforts to stop
the cravas-e have not abated, but rather in
creased, and those who have the matter in
charge feel confident that a large portion of
the breach will be closed before night. Mr.
Dunbar, the efficient surveyor of the Second
Municipality, was to leave the city for the
spot at an early hour this morning, with ove
one hundred men, and appliances to iacilitat
the work, and expected to reach thereby sun
rise.
In addition to the accidents which have oc
curred, the weather lias been extremely un
favorable most of the time since the crevasse
took place. The men, in addition to the an
noyance ot being almost constantly in the
water up their arm-pits, have been for the
last two or three days drenched with rain.—
These untoward circumstances have, as a mat
ter of course, had a discouraging effect upon
every body concerned, and have retarded the
operations.
The water rose several inches in the swamp
yesterday, and was last evening running over
the Shell Road into the canal for some dis
tance this side of the High-Way House, and
covered the road at the New Ba. in ware
house. It is also setting up in rear of the
Second Municipality, having reached Dryades
street and already done considerable damage.
A large number of houses are surrounded by
water, and can only be reached by boats.
A large number of hands were engaged yes
terday in throwing up embankments on the
lower side of the Now Canal, and it was about
as much as they could do to keep pace with
the rise of the water. Several outlets have been
made in the canal below the Metaire Ridge,
which allow a large quantity of water to pass
off into the swamp below, otherwise we think
the rear of the First Municipality would soon
be inundated.
It will been from what We have said that
there is cause for the grave apprehensions en
tertained by the public, and we should be nd
yefUercfuv VooTtt.'ifcfemTy ih\f
stoppage of the crevasse, but prepare lor tliej
worst. Whatever the public authorities can
do should be done instantly. Nothing but
the most prompt and energetic exertions will 1
satisfy our citizens.
Another Crevasse. —We learned yester- j
day that at about noon, the levee in front of
the Powder Magazine, on the other side of the .
river, about three miles below the ferry land- j
in", at Algiers, gave way to the extent of !
eighty or ninety feet, submerging a quantity ]
of gunpowder which lord been landed there .
in kegs. The Mayor, Mr. Crossman, was im- j
mediately informed of it, and he forthwith :
despatched a pile-driver, with men and lum
ber, to assist in closing the breach. The police j
jury was also immediately convened, and mea
sures were adopted for the purpose of looking
to the security of the levee. We are inform
ed that unless the crevasse he soon stopped,
the Powder Magazine will inevitably be swept
: away. — lb.
The Mokuanza Crevasse.—The news from
this crevasse, in the parish of Pointe Coupee,
1 is rather melancholy. The Pointe Coupee
Be ho of last Saturday says:
The crevasse at Morganza is spreading its
ravages to a frightful extent. It is now more
than a quarter of a mile wide, s>nd of such
force and volume, that the roar of waters may
be heard several miles distant. A portion of j
the Morgan plantation is overflowed in the !
rear; the water is from two to five feet against J
the side levee, which looks weak and threaten- ,
ing in places. There is now no way of travel
ing to the Fordoehe except in skiffs. 4 com
mittee appointed by the police jury to examine
the possibility of stopping the crevasse, report
it totally impracticable. — lb.
An Overflow Thirty Years Aon.—While
the “big scare'' is on us, it may not lie amiss
to recall one previous experience of this city j
in the way of flood. The highest water or
greatest flood known here occurred in 181 G 1
It is in the recollection of many persons that j
at that time the water came up as high as j
Royal street, and that houses on Bourbon j
street were deserted in consequence of it. —■ !
We were informed that, at the period we j
speak of, Com. Patterson came from the lake, j
where his ship lay, in a boat to this city, j
which his men made fast to a stake in Canal
street, near Royal! The houses back were
generally deserted and abandoned, and the
people fiockec.) towards the river, the highest
point and consequently tip* drvest, for safety.
We give these reminiscences, however, with
out much idea that the same scenes will
ever again be enacted, aud we sincerely hope
that the next twenty four hours will allay all
apprehensions on the subject. — n>.
The Danoer of an Inundation.—Our city
is threatened with the overwhelming calamity
of an inundation. Without wishing to be alarm
ists, it is impossible for us to shut our eyes
to tlie impending danger. It is so imminent
as to admit of no further dallying. The cre
vasse MUST BE CLOSED AT WHATEVER EXPENSE.
It is too late to talk of the share of the burden
which Carrollton, which Lafayette, which the
planters, or which New Orleans must bear.—
; This city must be saved inundation, and the
\ city authorities must do it, cost what it will. —
i So far the zeal and energy which have been
i displayed, however conspicious, have failed,
i This failure we impute in a great measure to
j a want of perfect unity of action on the part
j of all who have given their exertions. This
j fault must be remedied at once. It is sus
' ceptible of demonstration that a competent
! engineer can close this cavasse in a giyen time,
j if you place at his disposal the means which
! he’ may designate. Our conviction is very •
j thorough that it must come to this. An en
| gineer—the Surveyor of the Second Munici-
I pality is a very competent one —but some en
j gineer must be invested with dictatorial powers
! in this matter, with authority to call for men
i and materials at their discretion. J he councils
j and authorities cannot be expected to take
charge of the works personally. They must
confer on another their authority and provide
the means w hicli he may require. '1 hey and
the citizens at large will hold the engineer to
the most solemn responsibility tor the faith
ful execution of his trust, but he must not be
hampered with superintending committees,
No engineer should be employed who is not
i competent, to act without the counsel of any
i advisers, and who has not the nerve to encoun
] ter any responsibility.— lb.
Crevasse on Bayou Lafourcuf.. —We learn
from the Thibodauz Minerva of last Saturday
that there is a crevasse at Theriso’s, about ten
miles below that town, which, owing to inef
fectual efforts to close it has been abandoned.
The same paper says that the crevasse at
Cox’s place, as well as that at Hall s, has been
closed.— lb.
Melancholy Accident. —As two little boys
10 or 11 years old, was walking amid the ruins
of the fire, cu M?aday mpraiag la*t, they w?r
suddenly precipitated into a sink, which was
concealed by some rubbish, and soverely scald -
ed. One of them, Timothy White, son of Mr.
James White, residing in Burns's Lane, we re
gret to add, died yesterday morning from the
effects of his injuries.— Charleston Mercury,
( Telegraphed for the Charleston Mercury .)
New York, Maylll, v. m.
The mob is again beginning to gather. It is
supposed that the destruction of life last night
was much greater than was first reported, not
less than thirty being killed and at least one
hundred wounded. It is anticipated that there
will be an attack upon the Mayor’s residence
to-night, and dreadful results are anticipated.
New York, May 11,9 p. m.
It is currently reported that the houses of
the Mayor, and of Gen. Sanford, are to be
sacked to-night, aud additional companies of
military have been ordered out for the emer
gency. Mr. Macready has left the city. It is
ascertained that the killed last night, and.
those who have since died of their wounds,
amount to 27.
New York, 5 p. m.
The Mayor has issued his proclamation, re
questing the peaceful and orderly citizens to
abstain from all unnecessary excitement, and
exhorting them to lend their aid in supporting
the laws, which will be maintained by the
whole civil and military power. The Fourth
Brigade of Volunteers is ordered on duty for
to-night, and cannon are planted all round the
Theatre.
There is a meeting in the Park of those who
condemn tho course of the City Authorities,
but the general opinion is decidedly in their
favor. The greatest excitement pervades the
community, and much anxiety is felt as night
approaches. "V

STATE OF TRADE.
Liverpool, April 28.—Taking into conside
ration the condition of the affiirs of the Con
tinent, the public securities maintain a re
markable firmness. Mercantile operations are
dull, and considerable depression exists
throughout the manufacturing districts, and
especially at Manchester, but notwithstanding
the e unfavorable influences, after some fluc
tations during the week, consols settled very
steadily at its close, at 92.
The advices from France are rather dispirit
ing to our manufacturers, while orders from
other parts of the Continent are at a stand.—
There has been no actual variation in the
prices of Cotton since our last, but from the
depressing effect of the blockade of the Ger
man ports upon the business of Manchester,
the veiv moderate demand for goods and
yarns, and the sustained abundance of supply,
there is a probability that the market will be
seriously affected.
The Havre Cotton market continued in a

ft ( From the Xeu< York Tribune.)
We are again called upon to record one of
the most shameful events which has ever dis
graced the history of our city. The riot of Mon
| day night, of which that of last night was but
I a continuation, was harmless in comparison.
| We give the particulars in the order of their
I occurrence, and almost entirely from our own
personal observation.
The invitation extended to Mr. Macready by
| a number of our most prominent citizens, and
his acceptance thereof, called forth a second j
I eft'ort on the part of those who created the riot j
: on Monday night. Early yesterday morning
! placards were posted up through the city,
stating that the crew of the British steamer
had threatened violence to all who “dared ex-
J press their opinions at the English Aristo
cratic Opera House," and calling on all wor
king men to “stand by their lawful rights.”
In consequence of this and similar threats, a
large body of police was ordered to attend, at
the Opera House, and in case this should not
be sufficient to preserve order, the Seventh
Regiment, Col. Huryea, and two troops of
horse, (Capts. Varnum and Patterson,) of the
Eighth Regiment, under command of Glen.
Hall, and the Iluzzars attached to Gen. Mor
ris's Brigade, vyere held in readiness. They j
j formed in two bodies, one of which was sta- i
i tioned in the Park and one at Centre Mar- j
j ket.
In anticipation of a riot, the rush for tickets j
| was very great, and before night, none were to I
! be had. For some time before the doors were |
j opened, people began to collect in Astor Place, j
j and the Police took their stations at the doors j
and in the buildings. The crowd increased]
with every moment, and when we came upon I
tire ground, at half-past seven, the square and j
street from Broadway to the Bowery were near- j
ly full. There was such a tremendous rush j
about the doors, in spite of a notice posted up j
stating that the tickets were all sold, that ]
several of the entrances were obliged to be j
closed. The Police used every exertion to j
preserve order, ami succeeded in preventing i
j all attempts offeree and entrance. inside, the
house was filled but not crowded, and the ]
! amphitheatre was not more than half full. 1
| q'he general appearance of the audience was :
i respectable and it was hoped at first that there
, would be no serious attempt at disturbance. (
i We noticed, however, that the window's had j
j been carefully boarded up and the doors bar
ricaded —tlm object of \yhjch \yas afterwards 1
made manifest,
, The first two scenes passed over with a voei- i
serous welcome to Mr. Clarke as Malcolm. The j
entrance of Mr. Macready, in the third act, j
| was the signal for a perfect storm of cheers, !
i groans and hisses. The whole audience rose,
. and the nine-tenths ot it who were trie ml ly to
1 Macready cheered, waving tlreir hats and hand- ,
kerchiefs. A. large body in the parquette, with |
others in the second tier and amphitheater,
hissed and groaned with equal zeal. The tu
mult lasted for ten or fifteen minutes, when an
attempt was made to restore order, by a board !
’ being brought upon the stage, upon which was
written, “The friends of Order will remain
quiet.” This silenced all but rioters, who con- j
tiuued to drown all sound of w hat was said
upon the stage. Not a word of the first act
‘ could be heard by any one in the house. The !
policemen present did little or nothing, evi- j
’ dently waiting orders. Finally, in the last !
' scene of the act, Mr. Matsell, chief of police,
! made his appearance in the parquette, and,
followed by a number of his aids, marched
’ down the aisle to the leader of the disturbance,
t whom he secured after a short but violent
. struggle. One by one the rioters were taken
and carried out, the greater part of the audience
t applauding as they disappeared.
Before the second act was over, something
of the play could be heard, and in the pauses
y . of the shouts and yells, the orders of the chief
■_ and his men in different parts of the house
could be heard, as well as the wild uproar of
the mob without. Mrs Coleman Pope, as Lady
s Macbeth, first procured a little silence, which
ended, however, immediately on Mr. Macrea
g dv’s re-appearance. The obnoxious actor went
e through liis part with perfect self-possession,
t and paid no regard to the tumultuous scens
e before him. As the parquette and gallery
( [ were cleared of the noisiest rioters, the crowd
0 without grew more violent, and stones were
hurled against the windows on the Astor place
e side. As one window cracked after another,
and pieces of bricks and p iving-stones rattled
lt in on the terraces and lobbies, the confusion
increased, till the Opera House resembled a
fortress besieged by an invading army rather
than a place meant for the peaceful amusement
of a civilised community. Sometimes the
n heavy ijtoaes would dash in the hoards which
>’ had been nailed up as protection, and a num
n ber of policemen wei'e constantly occupied in
f* nailing up and securing the defences.
!• The attack was sometimes on one side and
it sometimes on the other, but seemed to he most
n violent on Eighth street, where there was con
tinual volley cf stones and other missiles. The
retiring rooms were closed, and the lob
's bies so by the mob out side, that the
is only safe places were tl',e boxes and parquette.

The fourth and fifth acts were given in com

cerned, a large number of whom assembled in
the lobby, no egress from the building being
possible. At these words of Macbeth:
“I will not be al'raul of death and bane
'Till Birnam Forest come to Dunsinane,”
An attempt was made to get up a tumult, but
failed. The phrase,
—“Our castle’s strength
Will laugh a siege to scorn,”
was also loudly applauded. But in spite of
the constant crashing and thumping of stones,
and the terrible yells of the crowd in the street,
the tragedy [too truly a tragedy to many] was
played to an end, and the curtain tell. Macrea
dy was of course called out and cheered, as
was Mr. Clarke. Cheers were also given tor
the police, and for many other things wnich
we did not hear in the general tumult.
Towards the close, a violent attack was made
by the mob on one of the doors, which was
partly forced. A body of policemen, armed j
with their short clubs sallied from it and se
cured a number of the leaders, who were
brought in and placed in a large room under
the parquette, with those who had been pre
viously arrested. These rioters, to the num
ber of thirty or forty, battered down the par
tition of the room with their feet, and attempt
ed to crawl out at the bottom by the hole so
made. A strong guard was therefore placed
to watch them, and no one, we believe, suc
ceeded in making his escape. From the con
fusion occasioned by the continued attack on
the house, we were unable to learn the names
of any of them.
After the play was over, the noise being ap
parently diminished somewhat, the audience
were allowed to go out quiet by the door near
est Broadway, The crowd was not denese in
the middle of the street, a body of troops hav
ing just passed along, but the sidewalks, fen
ces and all other available positions were
thronged, and a shower of stones was kept up
against the wiiidows. As we reached Broad
way a company of the Greys came round from
Eighth street and took their position in front
of the Opera House. Two cordAs of Police
in Eighth street, kept the street vacant before
the building, but the shattered! win
dows showed "how furious had been the at
tack on that side. We learned from those in
the crowd that troops of foot and one of horse_ _
had arrived about half an hour previous and
passed entirely around the building, partially
dispersing the mob. They had been assailed
with stones, it was stated, one of the dragons
knocked from his horse and another carried off
with a broken leg from the fall of his horse.
Up to this time we did not learn that anjr
proclamation had been made to the rioters.
After passing the Greys at the corner of Broad
way, we went into Eighth street, and were on
the return in not more than three minutes af
terward, when a volley was fired by the troops,
the quick, spattering flashes throwing a sud
den gleam over the crowd, the gaslights in
the streets having all been extinguished.—Has
tening into Astor-plaee, we found the troops
down up before the house, and the crowd be
ginning to disperse in front of them. It was
generally belived that they fired blank car
triges, and a large number of persons who were
mere lookers on, did not pay much attention
to it. We passed Lafayette place, and
there saw the bodies of two or three persons,
dead or wounded, boyne away.
The crowd seemed taken by surprise, as on
account of the incessant noises, very few could
have heard the reading of the Riot Act. Many
assert that it was not read, but we have positive
testimony to the contrary. We were return
ing and had nearly reached Astor-place again,
when a second volley was fired, followed al
most without pause by three or four others.
A part of the crowd canie rushing down J,a
fayette-place. but there was no shout nor noise,
except the deadly report of the muskets.
After this horrid sound had ceased, groups
of people came along, bearing away the bodies
of the dead and dying. The excitement of i
the crowd was terrible. We heard nothing
but one universal expression of vengence and
abhorrence. What adds to this tragic occur
rence is*ihat most of those who were killed,
were innocent of all participation in the riot.
An old man, who was waiting for the cars in |
the Bowery, was instantly shot dead. A lit
tle boy, eight years old, was killed by a ball, !
at the corner of Lafayette-place, and a woman i
sitting in her own room at the corner of the ]
Bowery, was shot in the side. Some of the j
bodies were carried into Vauxhall, others into I
Jones' Hotel, and others to the City Hospital j
and the Ward Station House.—ln the former j
place we saw a dead man stretched on the
table, and another with a ball in his hip, writh
ing in great agony.
Groups of people collected in the streets
and in front of Vauxhall, somp of which were
addressed by speakers, calling tljem to reyenge
the death of the slain. The troops for a time
anticipated another attack. In consequence of
has been quiet. 7
Mr i„
It will be recollected^l
his Card and Letters, j
with influencing the
while he was performing abroad.
his “ Card "T
“ I most solemnly aver and do believe, that
Mr. Macready, instigated by his narrow, en
vious mind, and his selfish fears, didseeretiy—
not openly—suoorn several writers for the
English press, to write me down. Among
them was one Forster, a ‘ toady’ of the * emi
nent’ tragedian—one who is ever ready to do
his dirty work ; and this Forster, at the bid
ding of his patron, attacked me in print, even
before I had appeared upon the London boards,
and continued his abuse of me at every oppor
tunity afterwards.”
He adds to this, in his “ Card,” that he did
‘•hiss’’ Mr. Macready, and so did the whole
audience in Edinburgh. He says :
“ On the occasion alluded to, Mr. Macready
intrody hi a fancy dance into his performance
of Hf sy- TT which I designated as a pas de mou
choir, and which I hissed, for 1 thought it a
desecration of the scene, and the audience
thought so too, for in a few nights afterwards,
when AJr. Macready repeated the part of Ham
let with the same ” toiqfqclery,” the intelli
gent audience of Edinburgh greeted it with a
universal l^ss.”
To this and other charges, Mr. Macready
has seen lit to reply by producing sundry let
ters direct from Europe. Air. Fonblanque, 1
the proprietor of the London Examiner, in
which paper Mr. Forster held the position of
theatrical critic, writes under date of 14 th
December, 1848 :
" I cannot, indeed, go so far as to say )hgt j
you never attempted to influence the Exami- |
ner as to Mr, FSrrest; for l am aware you did j
attempt to influence it for forbearance towards i
him, and that yon repeatedly entreated Mr. i
Forster to be lenient or silent, but Mr. Fors
ter very properly maintained his indepen- I
dent judgment, gnd would not be induced to ;
swerve from the course he thought just, by ;
any private solicitation, however generous the j
sentiment in which it originated.”
Next comes a letter from Jas. Mitchell, Esq.
lessee of St. James’ Theatre, and manager of
the English company at Laris, 1844-5, dated
London, Dee. 14, 1848, He says :
“ Nor did you in any manner, direct or indi
rect, with me personally, or to my knowledge
with any other person, attempt to interfere
with, or prevent any arrangement that Mr.
Forrest might have desired to make with me
for liis appearance at Paris."
Then follows a letter from the High Sheriff
of Edinburgh, dated 26th Pec., U e
gives tiie statement that Air. Forresk and Mr.
I\ only hissed Mr. Macready in 1 Camlet, 2d
March, 1840, and adds :
“ I know the writer of this statement, and
have sfsen him. His testimony is above all
suspicion. U e VV 9 S close to Foryest, when he
hissed exactly as it is described. The audience
was perfectly tranquil, and breathlessly silent,
at the moment Forrest alone hissed. You
know liow silent an Edinburgh audience can
be.”
“ Again—l have seen a gentleman, now the
Superintendent of the city police, whose evi- !
dence is likewise beyond the reach of suspi
cion. He was close to Forrest. ‘ln the
house,’ he says, ‘ you might have heard a pin
fall.’ Forrest alone hissed. There was an
instant outbreak of the audience against I*in>
(Forrest.) Nobody hissed that night at Ma
cready except Forrest, who hissed “ a decided
solitary hissing, as if he did not care a rush for
the rest of the audience.”
* * * * *
“ Once more—l have seen one of the confi
dential officers ot the Theatre Royal. He was
close to Forrest when he hissed alone, the au
dience being at the time in profound quiet.—
Nobody on that night hissed Alacready except
Forrest. His evidence I have no reason to
believe to be in any way less unimpeachable
than the testimony already referred to. It
was not at first known on the stage who the
hisser wus. There is a notion that Mrs. Leigh
(now, I think, acting in London as Mrs. Leigh
Murray) first recognized it to be Forrest. At
all events, it was stated immediately after
wards in the green room that Forrest was the
hisser. “On this Macready,” says Mr. Mur
ray, “exclaimed, • lm, no, I don’t believe it—
; Forrest is too time® of a gentleman to do
■ that,’ ”
* ♦ • * *
" Certain, therefore, it is, that to say that
any body but Forrest hissed Macready, on
March 2, 1846, is falsehood.
“ There is not the most distant shadow of
recollection in the minds of those connected
with the theatre, that on either occasion, any
hissing of any sort occurred.
* * is • *
“ Believe me, there was but one hiss, aqd
one hisser. Forrest was the his9er—Forrest’s
thehiss. ,r

Eaa.. I*rnrn-to*«« —■* *' t
. , —wuu manager of the Theatre
Royal, Edinburgh, dated 28tli Dec., 1848.’
He states :
“On the evening when Air. Forrest hissed
Mr. Macready, it was stated to the latter gen
tleman in the green-room of the Theatre Roy
al, in Edinburgh, that Mr. Forrest had done
so;, to which Mr. Macready replied, ‘ I cannot
believe it, Mr. Forrest is too much of the gen
man to adoptsuch conduct.’ This was said in
my hearing.”
Mr. Ryder, the actor, makes affidavit also,
to this effect, as follows:
“ That Mr. Ed win Forrest (and Mr. Edwin
Forrest only) did hiss Air. William Charles
Macready, in the Theatre Royal Edinburgh, in
the character ol Hamlet, on the night of Alon
day, March 2d, 1846, and that there was not
one single hiss from any other person through
that evening, nor during any night of Mr.
Alacready’s engagement.”
A letter from Sir Edward Bulwer next ap
pears, dated Brighton, November 26, 1348.
He says:
“In reply to a strange question just put to
me relative to Air. Forrest, I can truly say that
you never, directly or indirectly, expressed
even the remotest wish that Air. Forrest should
not act in any play of mine—nor was ever
such a subject touched upon by either of us.”
In another letter from Sir E. Bulwer, dated
lst.h December, 1848, he says :
It seems that I did accord to Air. Forrest
the permission to act the parts of Richelieu
anu Claude Alelnotte for a less sum than I
war, and still am, in the habit of receiving for
them at a London theatre, and a less sum than
I suould have asked from any manager with
from you yourself were engaged, viz : 80
guPeas for 40 nights ; that is, for a full sea
sonlr Aly usual terms would be 100 guineas.”
. Was. Bass, the- comedian, writes under
davof Boston, 25th Nov., 1348, that having
beokoffered by Air. Forrest the stage manage
mffit of the theatre which Mr. F. intended to
opjn in Paris : m
U was in the habit of calling on
hit* during his engagement at the Princess’s
Thqjtre, and on these occasions often heard
hinlgpeak of the ‘ shameful treatment’ he ex
perfcrtced-there, alluding to hisses, disappro
ba'mi, &c., which sometimes attended his
per®,,nance. This he invariably ascribed to
the»«ulerhand influence of Aliss , who,
heJid, had brought many letters to literary
per Ans in Tejidon, and by them he was crush
the mtins to exalt her. At that time lie
'ifv said, nor, I believe, imagined, you were
at aD instrumental in opposing his interests.”
jffve Miss here spoken of, is, no doubt,
Cushman. But the editor of the Phila
delphia Times being in London at the time,
says that Aliss Cushmau always spoke favora
bly (to him of Mr. Forrest.
fter from Win. B. Reed, Esq., o' Plula
, Mr. Al.’s legal adviser, runs as follows.
ias, it seems, been made a matter of re
to you, that you have not sought
for alleged calumny in the courts of
If abstaining from such a course br
an e<ror, the responsibility of it rests on your
profitsional advisers.”
Mr. Reed writes that he advised Mr. M. not
to bring a suit against Air. F., that the charges
of Mr. F. could not injure him, and that a suit
would occupy too much of his valuable time.

DR JOEL BRANHAM’S LIVER AND
DYSPEPTIC MEDICINE.
SN offering this valuable medicine to the people
ol Georgia fin- the relief and cure of many dis
eases incident to a Southern climate, I do not claim
ior 4 it infallibility; neither do I say it will cure all
diseases. But in Chronic Liver Affections and
Dyspepsia, I can confidently advise and recom
mend its use, from my personal observation and iim
of the article in my own practice. This article is
favorably received wherever it has been used. I j
am allowed to Veter to Mr. George Heard of Troup, I
Mr John Warren of Columbus, Mr. Me Kuliev- of!
t abb Mr. Asbury Hull of Athens. Mr. VYil'Jaiu D.
Tei fell of Putnam, Rev. John E Dawson of La
grange; to which a great,tyuinber of names might
lie added, who bear then- testimony to its value.— j
Dr. Henry Branham lias used this medicine in his l
o',qi i.ase, and has prescribed it to many others,
gives it as his opinion, that it is one of the safest j
and most valuable medicines that can he used in
imperfect digestion, liver complaints, constipation
and irregular state <4 the bowels. It is useful in
billion complaints, to persons recovering from bil
lions l< , ers and fti sick or nervous head-ache. To
pregnant women, who are subject to costiveness,
tills medicine -s well suited. In regulating the state
of the stomach and bowels, and promoting digestion,
t is partiouiatly' useful.
I could append a long list of certificates, but for
iia.u", prefeiing to rely on the virtues of the modi
ciite to sustain itself The medicine is a gentle and
certain cathartic, tonic and sudorific.
