numerous volumes of books, and by the furniture merous volur By by the mre which the ‘clock, Fire was coufined to the ruins of the church proper- | ty, and all the surrounding baridings were entirely tree from danger. Between 4 and 5 o'clock, the mob proceeded southward to the Roman Catholic school house, at the corner of Second and Phenix street, which after-being stoned was set on fire at the top. We understand that a quantity of eam- phene oil was thrown upon the cupola, and the fire then applied. This beautiful building was also con- sumed without any effort being made to save it, the firemen throwing water only upon adjoining build- ings to guard them from the flames. At 6 o’clock. the bare blackened and tottering walls alone re mained. Mr. Cole’s Temperance Grocery | Store, on the opposite corner, north of the school house, was attacked during the afterneon, and its | contents completely destroyed. The windows were dashed in—the bulk windows tern from the walls—and the moveable wood work in the inte- rior shattered to pieces and thrown into the street From this house a destructive volley was fired at the time of the attack on the Schoo] House on Tuesday night. On the opposite corner to the school house westward, were two old two story brick houses. From one of these the shot was fired which caused the death of Mr, Wright. The fronts of both of them were beaten in with stones. Ten frame houses adjoining St Michael’s Church, southward, took fire from that building and were totally consumed, with the exception of one which was tora down to prevent the flames from catching to a brick house further to the south. Several buildings in vicinity of the ehurch was somewhat injured by the heat of the flames and the flakes of fire which fell in showers. About this time the people inhabiting the houses on Second streets and on the streets from some dis- tance around the market, hung out American flags from their windows to show their adherence to the Native American principle. In the course ofthe afterneon fire was applied to anum- ber of frame houses on Harmony court, a small street run- | sides when engaged in a proceeding, right, and ia every sense bo! They had found the law nr We mibisters unable to Yefend | them, and they took the detence of their persons | lato their own hands. Under the high excitement | of the moment, with the groans of the dead and | the dying yet ringing in their ears, we can eats woudeniens they destroyed the housesfrom whic! the fatal missiles were sent. In the eyes of many, | very many, this will palliate much that occurred on | Tuesday, but the outrages of yesterday no one can tor a moment regard but as calling for the most | condiga punishment, es The participators in them were of a different class from those by which the firs meetings were held. No political feeling entered into them, but the dia- bolical passions of a malignant and lawless mob were let loose. It was impossible, without a fear- ful effusion of blood, to have last night quelled them, but in the outset, at the beginning, we have No question, but a few determined men, acting un- der the authority of the law, could have quelled the whole thing. A fearful responsibility lies some- where, and when the excitement, now so high, shall have subsided, we shall not hesitate to say our say about it. f Several gentlemen connected with the American Republican, or as it is more usually known, the Native American party, have. called upon us, de- nouncing in the most emphatic manner, the outra- ges of last night. They say they have no language strong enough te express their abhorrence of the outrages by which sanctuaries of God have been destroyed and private property sacrificed. ‘Their objects are peaceable and lawful—they wish to ac- complish them by lawlul means—they deprecate all resort to force unless in self defence, and they denounce the conductors of these last rash and wicked acts as in no way connected with the party of which they are prominent and active members.

It was generally said it was from tis store the Irish obtaived their ammunition In the evening. be'ween vight and nine o'clock, a frame house standing from the east side of Cadwallader street, was fired and totally consumed, A back building adjoin ing wax also burned tothe ground Two brick buildings on Second street, and trame buildings in the rear, fac: on Master street, were set on fire about eight o'clock, ar burned to the ground About nine o’cleck the fences in front of St Mirhvel’s Church were gathered together and a bonfire made of them. The Military were divided into sections aad were #guarding obnoxious premises. The whole district was covered in this manner, General Caiwallader being unremitting in his exertions to pre- serve the peace and maintain the law, notwithstanding he was on horseback the whole of the night preceding, and almost the whole day yesterday, The Sherilf was also active. vlajor General Patterson was upon the ground during the aiternoon, and took an active part in the pro- ceedings During the night hostile demonstrations were made against the Cathedral Church of St. John, on 13th Street, and against St. Mary’s Church, on south Fourth street, At the former, Gen. Cadwaiaier, at the head of his force, made ajspeech, Wleclaring that he had been in. formed that martial law was proclaimed, and allowing the crowd five minutes to leave the ground. The mob dis- persed. At the latter the United States marines enfiladed the atreet, and were brought by the commanding officer toacharge. Tho mob dispersed. There were no pe sons killed yesterday, and but one wounded. This one. James Lenaox, was struck on the forehead by a bri dat, but the wound inflicted was not dangerous. Augus tus R. Peale, whose arm was fracture! by a bullet on ‘Tuesday afternoon, was obliged to un lergo the operation of amputating the member, the wound being considered very dangerous. We have not heard of the death of any of those who were wounded on Monday and Tuesday Idents, &e. [From the Philadelphia Inquirer, May 10 ] Much excitement was created about two o’clock, by the appearance of men carrying off a person a settee. [t was immediaiely rumored that there ws another victim; but on ingniry, we found that the men were bearing away a poor woman who was dangerously ill, und who with her family, wa- quitting the scene of peril. ‘The immense number of removals presented an extraordinary spectacle. In some places, furniture cars Were seen at every door, for 30 or 40 houses inarow, In , the inhabitants are flying fron these scenes of fire and blood, in all the panic o! alarm and terror. It was reported yesterday, that several families, mn, women, and children, had perished on Tues- day night, in the burning houses. We could hear nothing of this on the ground. ne American flag, that was trampled upon at the Native American meeting, a night or two ago, was displayedat the corner of Franklin and Second streets, temarks of the Philadelphia Press. [From the Philadelphia Times, May. 9.) Tue Riots tv Kensincron—Tue Irish AND THE Native Amenicans.—The late riots in Kensington between the Native Americans and the Irish Ro- man Catholies—for the feud is now a religious one entirely, conceal the fact as we may—have filled our city with excitement, and every thoughtful mind with deep reflection. What are we coming to? Are the people forgetting at once the elements of Republicanism, viz: tolerance of opinion, free- dom of thought and action, and obedience to the laws, or can any man engaged in these disgraceful broils believe that he is aiding by such conduct, however provoked, in carrying out the principles of civil and religious liberty ? Asa Protestant and a Native born citizen, we protest against this unnatural admixture of religion and politics. In the whole history of the human race, we find the bleodiest pages those in which are recorded the contest of the Church; are we willing to introduce this firebrand of destruction and desolation into the midst of our peaceful and happy country? Have we a mind to rival Europe in our chronicles of inhuman massacre and slaugh- ter, or shall we bathe our hearth-stones in blood, and make our homes charnel-houses, because, of differences of opinion, the entertainment of which is guaranteed to every American citizen, whether Native-born or Naturalized, by our glorious Con- stitution ? We are opposed to the politicalsentiments of the Native Americans, but we respect their sincerity, and would be the last to stand silently by and ser them insulted; to see their peaceable assemblies broken up by an unfuriated multitude, and see them or any other set of men, whether right or wrong in their views, waylaid and assaulted for promulgating their political notions. We are too much of a Republican, and havetoo much genuine American feeling for this ; but, we are equally op- osed to the introduction of religious abuse into po- itical rations; we entertain a very contemptuous opinion of the wisdom, the law-and-order-loving disposition, and the real Christianity of those dema- porues who do itto accomplish, by the fearful pub- ie orgasm which must follow, their own selfish ends. We give up to no man in our respect for thr Bible, and our zeal for its dissemination. We up to no man tn our love for our beloved country, its unparalleled institutions, its mighty and intelligent people, and above all its freedom from that curse of Europe, an union of Church and State. But, in tenaciously reserving for ourselves and our chil- dren the right to peruse the Bible, we should be the first to rebel against any attempt to coerce others into its pernsal; in jealously watching to wrevent the political dominance of any other re- igious persuasion, we should be among the first to denounce any empt at such dominance con- templated by the members of our own ‘These are the dictates of patriotism ; nay more, they are the dictates of Christianity. Without pre- tending to take any side in this unfortunate contro- versy—without pretending that the Roman Catho. lics are right or wrong, or that the Native Ameri cans are right or wreng, for we concive both 10 committed a grievous error in appealing under any circumstances to physical force or to arms,—let us ask, is such conduet characteristic of either Freemen or Christians? Is it the part of a true republican to thrust his opinions upon others, and to preture all those who differ from him as fit sub. jects for immolation ; or did the great prototype of the Christian chureh when on earth set his fol- lowers such a belligerent example? Was not the language of the latter always “peace! peace 1” Was not his course exemplarily pacific? Did he turn even on his revilers and persecutors 1 Did he not take every occasion to teach his disciples for- bearanee, and radically subdue in them the slight- est impulse towards retaliation ? If so, we are bound to tollow the example as weil as’ the advice of the nead of the Universal Christian Charch ! And in doing so, we at once carry outthe principles of good government, for re- publicanism and christianity are identical, and the very spirit of the one, is incorporated into and ani- mates the other. Let us have peace then. Cease these wicked contentions. And in order that they May Cease, stop at once this mingling together of religion and politics. Away with it. Itis an un- hallowed, an iniquitous, and an incentuous union The issue must be a mouster, misshapen and deplo- rable, inimical to liberty, repulsive to tranquil go- verament, and ever associated with but anarchy discord, murder, and civil war. igh [From Philadelphia Gazette, May 0} A Nicur or Ovtraces—We yester neunced our belief that the scenes of violenc ceased. We were mistaken hey had A been quieted for a time, only to be renewed by tres ac: tors. Disgrace has been heaped upon us, Sanctu aries dedicated to the worship of God have been destroved by a lawless mob, and the fame of our city has been further polluted by a blot on our es. several Catholic churches. A few were left to guard the U.S. Arsenal. The military have orders to reassemble thisafternoonandevening. ‘The city isall cranguil. Sois Kensington. Nothing remains f St. Augustine’s church but the bare and. black- ened walls. The house of Dr. Moriarty in the rear on Crown street is in the sume dilapidated condi- tion. The damage to the surrounding property is aot very great. St. George’s Church opposite 18 somewh.«t scorched and blazed, and a number of private dwellings exhibit marks of their proximity to the fire. The two houses adjoining St. Augus- tine’s on the south side are partially destreyed, the one on the north side escaped with less injury. | Dr. Moriarty is absent from the city. Most of the valuables had been removed from his house, but much of his furniture was destroyed, and the whole of his old, classic, and costly library, com- prising over 1000. splendid volumes, become prey to the flames. Some of the books were carried off by the rioters, while a vast number were piled ap in the street, and converted into a bonfire. The Mayor, is issuing civil powers to citizens, to form themselves into companies of safety and de- fence, for the protection of the Catholic churches and other property; and Gen. Cadwallader is giving them orders for stands cf arms i A person has been committed by the Mayor this morning, who was arrested with Rooke in his pos- session, the property of the St. Augustine Church, TweLys o’cLock.—All is quiet to-day in the vi- cinity of the scene of the recent disturbances in Kensington. Some few people are scattered about, but our reporter states that none of that excitement which yesterday prevailed, was visible. About one hundred buildings ot all kinds have been destroyed. We understand that the Native American party ot Southwark have issued a proclamation, re- questing their friends to meet in the several wards his afternoon for the purpose of arming themselves to protect the Catholie church of St. Philip against any attempt that may be made to destroy it. The whole of th southern section of the city and coun- y is free from any symptoins of commotion, and but very little excitement is obsevrable among the people. In South Sixth street and other small streets im that vicinity, the Jrish population are quietly removing their furniture and other effects trom their dweiltngs, fearing they may be attacked. O- At o’clock last evening, the time that th® cars left Philadelphia for this city, every thing like riot or tumu't had subsided. The city continued under martial law, and the authorities, assisted by the orderly portion of the citizens, were prepared and determined to check any further outbreak of the rioters, should any oecur during the night.

But we shall icsue them te-morrow in a Suppiemenr, the great pressure of important intelligence and adver- tisements§compelling us again to resort to that ex- pedient. The Philadelphia Kiots—Excitement in New York—A Proposed Mass Meeting. ‘The bloody and disgracetul intelligence which we liave been receiving for several days past from Philadelphia, recording the alarming progress of the riots there between the Native Americans and the Irish, has created a profound excitement inthis city, where the great movement was made and the first effort triumphed in favor of the restoration of the Bible to the Public Schools, and the restrain- ing of the aptitude of both the old parties to corrupt and bargain with beggar politicians for the Irish vote. In the present confused, excitable and extraor- dinary events in Philadelphia, we hardly know what to expect, or what to anticipate, us the ul- timate issue of this most deplorable affair. One thing, however, is certain in relation to the rots in Philadelphia—there must be a wantof all energy, sense or decision in the public authorities there to permit such riots to continue, day after day, as they have done. That city appears, by all ac- counts, to be completely demcralized. Indeed, during the last year the constant riots among the fire boys have given usa very low opinion of the public spirit or moral power ot the city of Phila- delphta. “With respect to New York, we have reason to be proud of our glorious metropolis—of our public tranquillity and love of order, in the midst of the most exciting contests. The source of the present excitement between the Irish and the Americans, 1s to be traced to the politicians of both parties in this city and State, aided and assisted by the thoughtless priest but the people of New York have gloriously cor- rected the evil without everbreaking the public peace. In this state of the case here, the riots in Philadelphia have aroused a terrible feeling in this city, and a proposition has been made, under the natural excitement of the accounts, to call Mass Meeting of the Americans at the Park thi: afternoon, The feelings which prompt this meet- ing are honorable to the hearts that convene it. | 1s honorable to sympathise and mourn for the los~ of life and the horrible deeds of Kensington.— But in the present state of public feeling, it would be more prudent to postpone all Mass Meetings untilthe community gets calm and tranquil, and we are glad to see, trom the following announcement, that such a course has been taken. POSTPONEMENT OF MASS MEETING. At a special meeting of the American Republican Gen eral Executive Committee, convened on Thursday, pm. M y 9th. 1844, it was resolved, that the Mass Meet- ing, to beheld in the Park, be postponed, until a re be had from the Committee that have proceeded to Phil delphia to obtain the correct particulars in regard to the late riots in that a By order of A. COPELAND, Pres't, A. H. DAVIES, Sec’y. This is right. There is no immediate necessity for any assemblage at the present time in New York. The native party have peaceably and pow- ertully triumphed here—and take hold of the reins of the city government next week. Any large es- semblages of the people might lead some lawless and unruly persons to break the peace, under their sanction—and if the public peace should once be broken in New York, where we have so many in- flammable materials, where is it to end? It is dangerous to tamper with excited public feeling We want no murders—no riots—no in- surrections—no conflagrations —no burnings—in New York. Let every good citizen counsel peace, order, and tranquillity. Tae American Temperance Union.—This was by far the mest interesting of all the anni versaries. The Tabernacle was densely crowd- ed in every part, and seldom has there been wit- nessed within the walls of that building such a dis- play of female loveliness, moral worth, and genuine respectability. It was indeed a glorious exhibition of the immense and overshadowing popularity and power which the great Temperance reformation has attained. And the enthusiasm—the unanimity— the outpouring of the most purely benevolent feel- ing—the entire absence of all sectarianism, or big- otry, or uncharitableness—were so marked, so chat- acteristic, and so irresistibly impressive, that no one could have failed to recognize in that meeting the presence of the mighty moral influences which have given to the Temperance cause such prosperity and triumph. What a contrast did this occasion and this scene present to the meeting of some of the so- called religious anniversaries! Here there was no bitter railing—no coarse invective—no bigotted declamation! All was peace, charity, and love. The very god of peace was evidently in the midst of that vast assemblage, and the spirit of love fanned them with his dove-like wings. Deatu of Comrrrouuer SMrru—Albert A. Smith, late Comptroller of the city, who has been sick for several months, died yesterday at his residence, from tubercles on the lungs. Douw D, William- son, Hsq., wae appointed in his place last evening, by both Boards of the Common Council. ’Tis rare a predecessor hus been appointed before the body of the late incumbent has been entered in his grave! Exscark or Brun Hor In noticing the escape of this man from the city prison yesterday morning, it was stated that an arrangement had been enter- ed into between the Distiict Attorney, Justice Tay- lor, and the couosel of prisoner, whereby a nolle prosequi was to be entered on his delivering up a portion of the stolen jewellery taken frow Rock- well’s store. We have since learned that such was not the case, as the District Attorney and Justice Taylor had retused to accede to any such proposi- tion. PonisuMenr ror Anoxrion.—On the last day of the session of the Legislature, a bill forwarded to Albany by Jonas B. Phillips, Esq., of this city making the crime of abortion punishable as a felo ny, and also the advertising and selling of drugsfor that purpose, a misdemeanor, was passed, and is, therefore, a law, or will be at the expiration of twenty days. New Oreratic Trovrr anv Bauuet.—A very choice selection from the most admired Ethiopian operas, and some elegant dances, will be given by the “Charleston Minstrels,” at Jones’? Masonic Hall, on Saturday evening. This company com- prises a vast array of talent, and must create a great sensation. $cgTie brattan Orera again to-night—see the advertisement. Qc The Anniversary Concert of Sacred Music, by the Choir of the Broadway Tabernacle, will be held this evening, as will appear by our advertising columns, Beacon Course.—Yesterday a trot came off over this course between Armenia, Columbus and Doc- tor, mile heats. The three heats were won by Ar- menia ; time, 237; 2.38; and the third heat in 2.374. Considerable money changed hands, Co- lumbus being the favorite niversarl various “‘religious 0- 0 ‘The anniversaries. of the ‘cieties” have been rather more fully attended this year than last; but the audiences have been com- posed almost all together of the country people, very little interest appearing to exist respecting them in the city itself. A considerable improve- ment in “the state of the funds”—the beginning, the middle and the ending of all the addresses—has been manifested. There is a very great falling off in the speakers. Generally speaking, they are men: of very small calibre, and unknown beyond the limits of their country congregations. bs ‘These anniversaries have been interesting to the philosophical observer, chiefly on account of the very ample development which they have made of the manners and the morals of the clergy. Let as glance at them in this aspect. Every one attending these meetings must have been at once struck by the glaring want of courte- sy—the disregard of all politeness—the vulgarity of manner, exhibited by the great proportion of the clergymen. No accommodation whatever was provided for the press, and every effort of porters to obtain a chance of hearing with any degree of comfort, was repulsed with the greatest rudeness by the clergymen who crowd- ed the platform, and blocked up every ap- proach to it, standing and sitting on the backs of the benches, and clambering over tables and seats, with most barbarous disre- gard of the presence and the dresses of the ladies, who, dear, lovely creatures as they are, were all that rendered the meetings endurable. And then, the constant chatting and beckoning to each other, and shifting about, and stamping on the platform, and moving hither and thither—not to speak at all of the tobacco.juice, which was profusely squirted about—rendered the neighborhood of the platform even more intolerable, annoying and disgusting than the very midst of a mass meeting of the “bone and si- new” in the Park. The general appearance of those clergymen was in perfect keeping with their rude and vulgar conduct—course, conceited, dull, unin- tellectual—we should have been sorry to have com- pared them with the same number of western farmers. But they, we need hard'y say, were by no means to be regarded as a fair specimen of the American clergy, amongst whom are to be found many men, distinguished alike by their refinement, varied and extensive acquirements, and exalted intellect. This higher class, however, seem to have deserted these omnium gatherum meetings entirely, and those who have taken possession of the platforms on these occasions may be very pious, but there’s no denying that they’re at the same time very clownish. The development of the morals of the clergy, made on these occasions, was still more painful than that of their manners. The violent sectarian- tsm—the unchristian rancor—the fierce and unhal- lowed appeals to sectional feeling—the repulsive bigotry—the vindictive intulerance—displayed in many of the addresses, were calculated to excit~ in the breast of every true friend of religion and humanity, emotions of the most painful nature What a sad want of the influence of the tender charities of that faith which the meek and iowly Jesus established on this earth! And bow melancholy to witness the manifestations of grati fied, exulting feeling on the part of the audiences, when some bitter allusion would be made to a par ticular sect! What anxiety to see and hear some bigot of celebrity, such as Mr. Ketchum! Alas! alas! when will professors of Christianity listen to the exhortations of the great apostle of the Gentiles, to put aside all malice and evil speaking, and all uncharitableness, and to emulate the blessed exampie of Him who went about continually doing good, and whose whole life was an illustr.tion o! the faith he sealed with his blood—the love of God and of all men? Native American Movements.—On the receipt of the astounding intelligence from Philadelphia on Wednesday, the executive committee ot the American Republican party of this city assembled, and very unwisely concluded to call a meeting of their party friends in the Park on Friday afternoon, in order to obtain an expression of feeling relative to the riots in Philadelphia. As soon as this wa: ascertained, much excitement was created among the community, and, asif to add to it, the Tribune of yesterday morning contained an editorial notice of a meeting of the Natives to be held in the Park yesterday afternoon. The Mayor and members of the Common Council elect were convened to- gether yesterday forenoon, and after consultation, the executive committee of their party concluded to countermand the call of the meeting, which was soon made public. Notwithstanding this, the announcement in the Tribune drew hundreds to the Park yesterday afternoon, and for a short period the elements of discord and riot appeared to be preparing for an out break that might have inflicted similar disgrace upon our city to that which now rests upon Phila- delphia. Little knots of anxious lookers on were seen assembling here and there, and threats of vio- lence now and then burst forth from those .of fiery temperament. At this emergency, when a single blow would have been the signal of a riot that might have terminated in arson and murder, Mr. Whitney, the popular applicant for the office of Clerk of the Board of Assistant Aldermen, stepped forward and informed the assemblage that the meeting had been indefinitively postponed for the present.
