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 _Ni_ Further News by the Hibernia- THE MARKETS. The Cotton market has been without change since the departure of the America. Fair Up lands and Mobile are quoted at 4jj; Fair Or leans, 4). The range of quotations is, Up lands, 3ijus; Mobiles, 34a4£; Orleans, 3£asi|. The sales of the week amounted to 24,740 bales. The market has been dull for Bread stuffs: Wheat lias declined 2a3d; Flour has declined Ga9d per bbl.; Western Canal is quot ed at 22s Gd, and Philadelphia and Baltimore the same. Corn, white, 29 6a31; yellow, 34 a 32. The transactions in the Provision mar ket during the week were limited. Eastern Pork was brisk, with full prices, while West ern Pork was dull. 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 satisfactory state, and there was an improve ment in the Hamburg market. The French funds were firm, 3 per cents. SG,GO; .5 per cents. 83,30.

SARDINIA. It is reported that the French Minister at Turin had instructions to encourage the Sar dinians to reject the terms of qieace offered by ltudetzky. GERMANY. Information has reached Liverpool that the steamers Washington and Hermann had ob tained permission from the Danish Govern ment to convey passengers to and from Bre men, without being subjected to search. 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. A, stone, thrown through wu upper window. knocked off some of the ornaments of the splen did chandelier. The fourth and fifth acts were given in com parative.quiet, so far as the audience were con 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 Fheq cqmes a letter frew WiO> Murrav. 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. From the Char. Cow,—By Telegraph. ' NEW YOKE MAR EEL'S. Monday, Alaylls, P. Al.

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.
