A terrible riot commenced In New York on Monday of last week, and progressing with fearful violence at last accounts. The Draft was the pretext, a house where it wee progres sing being first utterly demolished. Its fierce ness seems to be directed against Abolitionists, negroes, and all government officers and sol diers who oppose them. The papers are full of the horrible details, but we can onl y make room for the following as a sample of the nar rative : About* o’clock, p. m., a gentleman connect ed with the press, while standing op the corner of Forty- sixth street and Third avenue, wss »t --tacked by the crowd, “here’s a d—d Abolition ist ; let’s bang him.” He was seized by the hair and dragged toward an ayvnlng post, but lormuately something eke diverting the attention of the crowd.be escaped up Third avenue —b.it only for a short time, for a blow with a paving etone on the back of the bead and one in the face atunned. him so, that be lost all consciousness At about 3 o’clock a procession of about five hundred people marched up First avenue Ml armed with bars, pistols, etc., threatening vet geance on ajl persona connected with the draft. They halted In frmfe of the Eighteenth Ward Station House in Wr*oty-second street, yelling in a demoniac manner. As il by preconcerted aetlon, an att: ck wap made upon colored men and boys in every part of the city during the day, crowds of from 100 to 900 persons banting them like bloody bounds. Several inoffensive colored men were ffifeEfeeff 'lMthe city cars and badly beater) wlwff a number were IciybWJfnv u*Ajr were driving and terribli maltreated. ’ -y j The Colored Orphan Asylum tin FiTh avemuY near Forty sixth street) was fired about flv-F o’clock In the afternoon. The infuriated mob* eager for any outrage, were turned that way by the elmple suggestion that the building was lull, of colored children. TANARUS: ey clamored* around tbo-Soueo ttke demons, filling the air with yel'a. A few policemen, who attempted to makes stand, were foslantly overpowered—several being severely or fatally injured. While this waa going on, a few of lhe less evil disposed gave notice to the inmates to quit the bnild- iDg. The al -bt of the helpless creatures stayed for a moment even the ineensate mob ; bnt tbe orphans were no eooner ont than tbe work of demolition commenced. First tbe main build lng was gutted, and then set on fire. Shatters and docn weieiorn off and tum bled Into the streets. These were seized and torn to pieces almost before they touched the ground, and, with everything else, carried off with surprising celerity. Several persons were injured, and it is supposed some killed, by the falling of shutters and fornlmre from tbe jinfiows Even the gutters were hewn'off', and the chimneys tnm'iicd down. The Are engines wera there in great numbers, bnt were not permitted to work, except upon the adj icent buildings. What Was very marked, as the destruction i hoceeded, was the absence of excitement. Things were done as quietly and cooly by the rioter* as If they were saving instead of def troylng property. While this scene was enacting,a large detach ment of rioters ran down to the enrollment rooms, corner of Broadway and Twenty-ninth street. The object here was mere evidently plunder. Tb»lower part of this fine building -was composed of stores, filled with costly goods. Every vestige was carried off. A jew .elet’s shop was the object ol special attention. Gold watches, broach,* s, bracelets, breastpins, and all manner of valuable ahjouterie fl jw abont in the crowd, flashing in tbe light. 'As soon us the sloies were stripped, the cry arose—“ Burn the building ! Burn il !! Burn it!!” |Half a hundred willing hands were at work In a moment. The bouse seemed to be fired Iff :,s mu,y places at once; for It was in flames to basement in five minutes. Ike flwnes roared| In emulation of the dezaoss’ tbl-oats that yelled around tbim. As at the Asylum, the engines wene on haad, bnt were fojeed to-be Idle. The: firtm n restrained th»mselves wHh difficnlty—unaccustomed to nee the flames rake withont fighting them—and at length bettan tb play on '.he adjoining build- Inglu which thuy were not Irterrupted, The walls tell nearly sin>nltanrou»3y,and with an awful crash.

Alas ! for this hapless personage—(or once notoriety was knock*—celebrity meant clubs— distinction meant “D—d the Yankee Perliee eon of s (not lady)—down with him—duck him—drown him”—all of which they proceed - ed to do, save tbe letter. And this hapless individual wss John A Ken nedy, Superintendent of the Police force ot the city .of New York. The mob nearly killed him. TheY ment to kill him. They set out with a determination to kill him. They beat bim, dragged him through the streets by bis bead, pitched him into a horse pond, rolled him in mud gutters, dragged him through piles of filth indescribable. oj!y when they thought him dead did the mob leave him to give their attention to a dif ferent line of business in the catalogue of crime. About 8 o’lock ip the evening an excited mob in Printing Honse Square, commenced shout ing and groaniDg, and soon afterward a large number of the persons in the crowd armed themselves with missiles at a pile of bricks in the neighborhood, and burled them at the windows in the Tribune office. ■ When the lower windows were demolished there was a rush made tor the interior of the counting room. Papers were seized and scat tered about the street and a match was then applied to Alpt of paper inside of thopounter. At this instant a strong police force came upon the full run aero3**be Park, sc .tiering the rioters. > Ia the evening.a large body of Irishmen and Irish women of the lofrest cla«j(nre up ajlarge portion of the track at the Fourth AVCnue railroad |n the upper part of the city.

' Tula was in Clarkson, near Hndson street, and the body was left hanging under s crowd of the Milesian wretches until nearly midnight, when Commissioner Acton ordered a posse of men to the spot to eui tnc body down. At a late hour in the evening an assault was made upon sou e houses in losevelt, near Oak street, occupied by colored people, and the iumates had to see k refege, a number of the men dropping themselves from upper window* to the sireei, to avoid tbe flames and rioters. About ncou the crowd augmented to great number*, reassembled aror.no its Uaioa S;eam Works, corner of Twenty-second street and Second AvCnim, end Saaliy stormed the place and took tun possession; and with arms in their hands defied any force to dislodge them. The Eighteenth ward Police made an attempt to retake the Armory, bnt were driven back aad badly bruised. Tae crowd followed, hoot 'leg and jeering, and finally commenced stoning the mßitary. Capt ia Franklin gave the order “ about face,” and as soon as ibe soldiers and the crowd came face to face the military fired a volley into them, killing and wounding fifteen of the rioters. - A somber of others fell to the pavement. Tbe rioters marched down Sixth avenue, and arriving near Forty-third Street, undertook to mb No. 37 of that street, where it was reported a prominent Republican gentleman resided.
