Riot between the Natives and Irish in Phil- ad ia—Horrible Outrage. ‘The peace of the city has agein been broken,and the outrage has been signalized by loss of life. A meeting of citizens, quietly convened to express their political opinions, has been broken up by law- less rioters, and property wantonly destroyed. The circumstances of this outrageous occurrence are briefly these :—A public meeting of the adyo- cates of the Native American prineiplts was called yesterday afternoon, at four o’elock, to assemble on the vacant lot at the corner of Master and Second streets,but before the meeting had been well organ- ized a storm arose, and it was resolved to adjourn to the shelter of the market house near by, at the corner of Master and Cadwallader streets. When the third speaker arose to address the meeting, @ man standing at the outside of the crowd was heard to say to another, standing next to him, (both of whom are represented to us es being Irishmen,) “Now let’s make a noise, so that ne won't be heard.” They forthwith created a noise, and were remonstrated with by some of the bystanders, who requested them to let the proceedings of the meet- ing go on in peace. They would not cease their clamor, and were finally compelied to do so, in con- s ce of receiving a severe flogging. This fight caused a little excitement, which was raised to an intense degree, in consequence of several shots being fired trom the upper windows of the Hiber- nia hose house, in Cadwalader street, fronting the market house. By this volley several wounds were inflicted, andthe Native Americans gather- ed at the meeting becoming highly exasperated, and the Irishmen having gathered into « mob, they made an attack upon thi A number ot shots were fired from the crowd of Irishmen, but they were finally compelled to flee. The Native Americans pursued them, and several of the fugi- tives, finding themselyes hotly pressed, darted into houses and up alleys, in order to escape. Several of the houses into which they were seen to enter, were attacked, and the doors and windows of two frame houses in Cadwaliader street, below Master street, and one inthe same street, above Master street, were battered in with stones. On Master street, near Germantown road, the fronts of two houses were also much battered, and windows rid- dled with stones, On Germantown. road, the dwelling house of a widow, named Mrs. Brady, was forcibly broken into, the windows and shut- ters shattered, and the furniture broken up. The attack upon her house was made because one of the fugitives had been seen to run up the alley ad- joining. The windows inthe upper story of the Hi- bernia hose house were also shattered, and Master street, between Germantown road andCadwallader street, was literally strewed with broken bricks and stones. linally, the Irishmen rallied, and beat off the Native Americans, and there the contest ended for the time. i The worst result of this disgraceful coutest is seen in the loss of life. From the beginning of the affray the shots were frequent, and the following persons were killed or wounded : George Shifler, almost instantly killed ; Joseph Cox, dangerously wounded in the groin; —— Lee, wounded in the hip; Charles Vanstavoren, shot in three places and dangerously wounded; Patrick Fisher, shot in the forehead—not dangerously wounded ; Adam Booser, shot in the arm. Shifler lived only a few minutes, the ball, we un- derstand, having passed through his head. The excitement created in East Kensington by the occurrence was intense. People were gathered at every corner, listening to or repeating the hun- dred vague rumors which were floating about. Sheriff McMichael, was early upon the ground, and we learn adopted active measures to prevent further violence. The above account was gathered from various sources, and in the midst of the excitement which prevailed. It may contain errors, but care hasbeen had to obtain the truth concerning what occurred, and to state it when obtained. Mipniaut.—Furtuer Particutars—Two Men Kitiep.—During the evening, great crowds of peo- ple were gathered in the neighborhood of the scene of violence in the afternoon, and about 10 o’clock an attack was made upon a dwelling house on Se- cond street just above Franklin. ‘The doors and windows were beaten in, and the furniture of the lower story broken up and much of it thrown into the strect. The cause of this attack, it was said, was in consequence of a gun having been fired from the building during the afternoon. Another house above this in the same row was also injured in consequence of stones having been thrown at it A cry was then raised of, ‘go to the Nunnery,” and a crowd proceeded up Second street to Masier, at the corner of which is a Roman Catholic school house. A bonfire was kindled at one corner of the street and the fence of the schoo} house set on fire;*about this time, when the crowd had faltered in tront of the schoo! house, a volley of musketrywas fired from the house opposite ,andwhen the crowd had parted it was discovered that seve- ral were wounded; one young man named J, A Wright was taken up dead, a bullet having pierced his left breast just above his heart. Another young man named Ramsey, living on Third street above Brown, was shot in the upper part of the left lung with a bullet, and when we left was expiring. We were also told that two other men were seriously wounded. The Native Americans then retreated, and up to twelve o’clock [midnight] affairs remained quiet. Sheriff McMichael was upon the ground during the evening, and shortly before nightfall made a all upon the military for aid, but as they had some time since resolved not to perform duty in cases of riots unless the Legislature made an appropriation for their pay during the time they were so engaged, which has not yet been done, they were not wil- ling to enter upon their duty A meeting, however, is called to-day, to take measures to ensure a full turn out of the militar force. The Sheriff, accompanied by Gen. Cad- walader, restrained the mob several times during the night from making attacks which were con- templated. | The excitement is greatly increased, and it is Early Bestiule to say where this terrible outbreak will end, Meanness or tae New York Press.—Yesterday every paper published in this city, copied the foreign news by the Hibernia from the Extra HeraLp— yet not one of them gave us the customary credit for our enterprise in running an express all the way from Boston.

Speculations in these things do notjlo much injury. A few brokers may become involved in debt, by the ups and downs, but none of them can lose any thing, for they have nothing to lose; and then, again, speculations of this nature do not derange the laws of trade, or create an expansiou of prices or credits. The banks run the risk of losses. They in fact are the operators in stocks, and use the brokers as agents Stock speculations are very necessary evils: they act as safety valves to the commercial community, and give an opportunity for speculating geniuses to let off the steam without going in to any article of commerce. If it were not for the fancy stocks that are so plenty in Wall street, the capital that is now used for their inflation would be employed in some branch of trade and overdo whatever it was invested in. For the want of some no- minal, harmless investment,it would create speculations in some staple production of the country, and continually derange commercial affairs. ‘The advices from Europe speak of the late treaty com- pleted by our minister at Berlin with the German League.

It is very lengthy and dwells much upon details, that may not be very in- teresting to the general reader. All those, how- ever, who feel any interest in Illinois or the western trade will read the report with interest. The bondholders here have generally been well satisfied with it, and all seem now to admit the importance of the canal, and the abun- dance of the security, and yet no one feels interest enough in American affairs to lend any aid in carrying the proposed arrangement into effect. All have ceased to hope for any judicious Jegislation in relation to the subject of the State debts, and they say that the less they have to do with the indebted States the better. They consider it useless to make any further advances unless there is sume disposition manifested to pay by the States themselves, ms This is extremely unfortunate for us at this time, for if there had been a ready aid lent to Illinois in this emergen- cy, it would have gone far towards awakening a proper spirit among the people generally. It would have been @ strong appeal to their gratitude that they could not have resisted. Though we may now succeed, still the great delay and extreme caution go to show that all confidence in the integrity and honor of our people is destroyed, and that whatever is done, is solely upon the tangible securi- ty,and not with any relience upon the action of the State. It perhaps was useless to expect snything more, but still a generous confidence would have met its re- ward, I think, inthe prompt and efficient action of the State. ‘There has been an attempt made to give this whole af- fair an improper direction, one not warranted, and one that may do it serious injury, and all this too by those who should have aimed only at doing a great and public good. They doubtless fancy that their extreme clever- nea# and cute shrewdness enables them to remain con- cealed, without exciting suspicion as to their real motives. But [ can assure them their whole scheme is fully under- stood. and before they shall be allowed to carry it into ef- fect the canal shall remain in its unfinished state. Illinois is poor and unfortunate, but she shall never become a vic- tim to the wily schemes of sordid and designing men, let their fate be what it may, ‘The amount required for commencing the canal is not yet subscribed—my efforts are now directed with a view to obtain the required scription. Ifevery American citizen could be placed in as humili- ating circumstances as I have been. while urging the in- terest of a sovereign State, by being told that all confi- dence in my country was lost, they would never cease their exertions until every dollar ot their debts were paid, and until the name of their country was placed beyond reproach. Let us, for heaven’s sake, get out of this degra- ding position, and once more stand proudly pre-eminent, and independent, and no longer remain ‘where we a scouted and contemned by every rank and age. Truly yours, MICHAEL RYAN, We give Mr. Ryan’s letter at length, as it conveys a lesson that we hope will sink deep into the hearts of all the citizens of the repudiating and non-interest paying States in the Union. The same mortification experienced by Mr. Ryan has been experienced by others. ‘The State of Ilinois has made great efforts to make such arrange- ments with her creditors as will secure them their de- mand, and enable the State to complete her half finished works of internalimprovement. Her commissioners did not succeed in accomplishing the object on their first vi- sit to London, and returned. The bondholders in Europe, not feeling satisfied with the Commissioner's report, ep- pointed an agent and engineer to examine the property of- fered ax security for their advances. Their report was taken out by Mr. Ryan, one of the first Commissioners, and his success is given in his own language. Those in- terested in the loan required, on this side, intend to send out Mr. Oakley, also one of the first Commissioners, to aid Mr, Ryan in his difficult negotiations. Confidence in American stocks is at a very low point throughout Ku rope. This destroys all negotiations. ‘The Illinois Com. missioners. went to Europe to obtain a loan sufficiently large to enable the State to finish her public works. The Commissioners pledged tho State for a tax amounting to 400,000 dollars per annum. Upon these conditions the amount was promised. The Commissioners returned, satisfied themselves that the tax could not be raised. One of them then went to Europe again, to open new negotiations, in which he has signally failed, ‘The report made by the agent and engineer has not proved as satisfac- tory as anticipated. Some of the principal facts exhibited by the report are. Ist, The amount of liabilities of the canal is $5,239,792, and the amount of promissory notes, &c. applicable to the extinguishment of those liabilities, $393,034—leaving a balance of $4,846,756, 2, The ex- pense of completing the canal will depend upon the er- rangements made for the supply of water, viz : $1,600,000 in case one plan be pursued; $1,690,000 in another cuse; $1,800,000 if both the Fox and Calumet rivers are em- aum. With this vast amount of idle capital laying in our | braced, together with the sources relied upon under the yanks, there is great danger of extensive speculations. | first plan. 3, The property proposed to be pledged is a Every opportunity is seized to employ this money—every | satisfactory security for the proposed loan of $1,600,000, movement likely tofafford the smallest{profit is attempted. | and will reimburse the same with interest. 4, The works At present we do not soe the leost chance for speculation | may be completed in three yeary.
