(From the Poiladeiphia Sun.) Presentm of the Grand Jury on the Phi- ladelphia Riots, &., of the Court of Quar- ter Sessions, before Judges Jones, Camp- bell, and Parsons, Sarurpay, August 8rd The Grand Jury upon their respective oaths and affirmations having concluded their Session of in- quity for the city and county of Philadelphia, state 1o the court that they have acted on all the bills of in- dictment | sid before them by the Attorney General for their action—that they have also diligent y examined into all the matters submitted to them by the Court, in the charges to the Graod Iaquest, and present the following as the result of a labor: ous and searching investigation undef these charges. i rae ‘The cause of the late outbreaks in the District of Southwark may be attributed toan attack mide upon a meeting of citizens in the District of Ken- ington in the early part of she month of May !ust The feelings engendered in the minds of a portion of the people by the events of that murderous out- rage upon the constitutional rights of citizens was of such a character as not to be soon forgotten, and the first plausible pretext was seized upon for the perpeiration ol new scenes of violence and disorder. ‘he arming of the churchof St. Philip de Neri prema’ that pretext, and a mob more formida- 1 and systematic in their movements than any which ever occarred in this country, Was nolover- come and dispersed until they were fired upon by the military and several of the uumber killed) The services of the military to sustain aud entorce the laws can only be justified when the civil power is found to be unsvailable for that purpose, and the Grand Jury are satisfied, from the evidence before them, that the services of the military on the occa- sion of the late riots was absolutely required, av wie cia power had proved insufficient. he auchority of the Sheriff to fire upon a mob ought to be fixed by Statute Law. There should be a Riot Act passed by the Legislature, and the time fixed when the order to fire shall be given. The law should fix the time and not the Sheriff. When this shall be done, there will be an end to mobs in Pennsylvania. From the examination of a mass of testiinony betore the Grand Jury, it does not appear that there is any evidence to implicate the Sheriff as to the taithful efforts used by him in the discharge of his duty during the Jate nots, The evidence establishes the fact of his having summoned a large number, of persons to form a civil posse du- ring the Kensington Riots, not more than forty or fifty obeyed the summons, and that during the Southwark Riots upwards of six hundred men were summoned, and less than one hundred men reaponded to the call. So fur, therefore, as a civil posse was concerned, the Sheriff was entirely powerless—not because he did not do his duty in summoning a posse—but because the people would not turn out in support of the law. | The Grand inquest under instructions from the Court regarding the arming of churches aud other public buildings, have summoned evidence and ex- amined fully into the particulars, from which it has been shown that several churches have been armed for defence, under what was deemed by those in whose charge they were placed to be | ‘gal autho- rity—and that so soon as it was apparent that the properly constituted authorities were prepared to protect them from threatened destruction, the arms were immediately given up or removed. The law guarantees to every one the right to protect his do- micil, and whatever difference of opinion may ex ist, real or supposed, among the adininistrators of justice on this subject, the citizen at large have firmly beheved and have always acted on the be- liet that self protection is an, absolute right which belongs to all men ; and that in extremity, or when the process of law is too tardy to afford an ade- quate protection, then means for self defence may justly and properly be resorted to. tis indeed la- mentable to know that it was deemed necessary to lace arms inside of achurch for its protection— ut that it was necessary evens have puinfull; shown in the outbreaks in Southwark. ‘The Ma- gistrates were unable to allay the tumult or to arrest the rioters. The peace should be pre. served by them without regard to sectional feelings:—the laws guarantee to all liberty to wor- ship in any creed—and all should be alike respect- edand protected. The Sheriff did all that could be done after receiving notic# of the riots. Tothe the police and military, the citizens owe much for their fearless exertions in suppressing riot of such a serious character in which they periled and lost life in the protection of their property. We condole with the relatives of the kill: d—we rejoice with the peaceable portion of our fellow citizens, that we are now safe from any further tumult since the rioters know that the forteit of life must be the penalty of such offences in future. We ure of opinion that the arming of churches and engine houses, will be hereafter wholly abandoned, aud that thore persons or companies who have hereto- fore deemed this course necessary for their sutety, will now rely on the protection of the properly con- stituted authorities, seeing that it tends to engend- er mistrust and riot, and is a fruitful source of mis- rule and disorder. i On an examuation in relation to the fire com- anies, it hus been fully shown that the Fair Mount ire Company Merah ee me the Good Will Hore Company, both of the District of Spring Garden, have been heavily armed, and the peace of the neighborhood disiurbed by them and other fire companies. The conduct of the above companies has been characterized by euch lawless brutality that citizens have been prevented for days from attending to their business, the local police being inadequate to the maintenance of order, or to ar- rest any of the open violators of the law. Fire arms have been used by both companies, inside and out of their houses, and the lives of valuable citizens jeopardized thereby, who reside in the vicinity. The Grand Inquest would further present the Weccacoe Engine Company, ‘the Southwark Engioe Company and the Weccacoe Hose Com- any, as creating a most disgraceful riot in the istrict of Southwark, the Weceacoe Engine Company having their house armed with mu: kets and shot guas, which were fired frora their house and wounding a Mr. Lucas, a citizen of the die- trict. The Sheriff immediately disarmed the house on being called on, and had the arms deposited in the Sherifl’s office. Such scenes are disgraceful to the age we live in, and we are at a loss for language to describe them. The Grand inquest \d, therefore, present the above named com: E @ and houses to the consideration of the jourt and the Attorney General as nuisances which require immediate abatement. While reflecting on the disasters produced by the action of the rioters, the attention of the Jury is naturally drawn to consider the fa and radi- cal cause of these outbreaks on | w and order A disposition to resist oppression, usurpation, or vio- lence, is common to all men, and with the majori- ty itis regulated under the control of moral ac- countability; but in others it assumes the right and exerts iis own ie pad to redress aggression but even in these it would sleep harmless, if left undisturbed by aclaas, whose depravity seeks every opportunity to violate the rights of others. This latter ciags are the pests of suciety, disturbers of the peace, the cause of riote, tumults, and murder. Belonging to this class were they who assailed the citizens of the Third Ward, Kensington, when they first as- sembled peaceably with the expectation of being rotected in the enjoyment of their legal rights ‘hey may be considered the first cause of all the mischief aud woe that marked the charact-rof that riot. If these first assailants had been promptly are rested, the subsequent meeting would not hive been disturbed, fio riots would have occurred, and ciu- zens would not have been brought in array aguinst each other before the cannon’s mouth. Tocheck violence, and tumult, and Pape the peace, the Grand Jury lay before the Court the following plan for the formation of what they think would be a sufficient police establishment, The. court having charged the Grand Jury to digest and recommend u plan, which would be free bable for an organized force, to support the awa and suppress disorders, have given the subject a portion of their deliberations. They have pre- pared aplan which they earnestly oommeas to his laws and shall be the several cor orations for their adoption. may be done by the passage of suc ordinances by the city and districts, necessary to carry it into effect Adel be appointed from the City Councils, ral Boards of Commissioners, to meet in Conven- tion, would no doubt be able to agree upon the draft of a bill, which might be enacted into a law by the legislative bodies of the several corpora- tions. A body of four hundred and fifty eflicient men, between the ages of twenty-five and forty-five ears, organized into companics, and commanded by good cflicers, and properly disciplined, would it 18 supposed be able to quell all riots or assem- blages o] pereons likely to ocenr in the city or dis- tricts 18 body of nen might be employed and aid by the city and adjoi lows: —City proper, 2 50; Sprivg Garden, 50; Ken: 42; Moyamensing, W—Total, 450. _ They might be divided intotwo divisions in the city, and in each of the districts. One division to act as a day police, and the other division asa night police, (doing the duties of ordinary watch- ining corporations, as fol- 3 Northera Liberties, naton, 40; Southwark, ment there would be constantly on duty, day night, in the city and districts, one division of two hundred and twenty five men, and a reserve divi- sion of the same number, who might be called out om any extraordinary emergency, rege the services of the whole police force of the city and districts. They should be divided into companies, exch to be under the command of a captain and lieutenant. Those in the city might be divided ito four companies of sixty-two men each, those in the districts should form one company each, The men employed by each corporation should be sutject to the orders of the proper police officer of said corporaton—that is—in the in to the Mayor of the City—in the Northern Liberties to the bo tad of that district, and iu the other districts respectively ( i Th tlle event of a riot or any disturbance of the peace in the c'ty or districts, the proper police force of the district in which the riot cecurs should be ordered out by the Mayor or Police Magistrates for the purpose of queiling the same, arresting the rioters, and restoring the peace. Jf a riot or dis- turbance should be of such # formidable character as to render its suppression doubtful or impossible by the proper police force ot the district in which it originates, it sheuld be the duty of the Mayor or Police Magistrate of the district torthwith to notify the Shetrfl ofthe county It should be the duty of the Sheriff imoiediately to order out (and he have full pover by law.) the whole police furce of the city and districts, or such part (hereof as shall be neces. = oe ss men,) werk and week about. By this arrange- | | aury to queil the riots, arrest the rimters and restore the public peace, [he men should be be with a mace and rattle, and should not be aliowed the use of fire arms on any occasion while 19 the per- formance of their duty. Their wages should be one dollar per day, or $365 per annum. f The plan if adopted by the several corporations comprising the entire cily of Philadelphia, will establish a permanent system of paid poiice, which may at all times be relied on to maintain order and -preserve the peace. The expense of such a force in addition to that already paid by the city and dis- triets for police purposes, will be of little conse- quence. The ircreased value of property conse: quent upon the esablishment of permanent peace and security, will iad compensate for the in- ercase in taxation. Besides, if this system is adopted, tt will prebably dispense with the use of the military in. future for the suppression of riots, a result much to be desired, not ouly on ac- count of the great expense, but because the inter- pesition of the military, however urgent and una- voidable the neceusity may be, always tends ina greater or less degree to draw a line of distinction between the citzen and the soldier, and to build up sin the'community an order of men distinct from thy great body of the people, ‘" Tne Grand Jury have visited the House of Re- fuge—the Eastern Penetentiary—County Prison— and Blockley Alms House; the first named is an institution of great interest, it is indeed the refuge for those who have escaped from the withering in- fluence of idleness, and the poisonous touch of bad exumple. In it ure youth and beauty, growing up under the fostering care of skill and kindness. In- dusiry, health and cheerfulness were exhibited in every department, Atthe Penitentiary, the sbode of the wretched, where the mind of the visitor becomes pensive as he contemplates the condition of those who were born to enjoy hberty, the feelings of the Jury were greatly relieved from the conviction, that the benevolent attention of the superintendent render- ed the-condition Of the inmates as comfortable as their situation would admit; so that no greater punishment should be inflicted than what the laws imperiously required. As we passed in review ot those solitary chambers our Lo were painfully arrested with the sight of spotless innocence, avowed to those mansions of moles prepared only for the convicts of crime—it was a beautiful intant only a few weeks old, upon whose character conte life must be entailed the stigma of being the offspring of the Penitentiary. _ In the apartments for untried prisoners at the County prison, there were many who appear to have strong claims upon the commiseration of the Jury. Where it may be possible that the innocent are anxious by waiting tor trial and release from undeserved punishment, humanity urges every ex- ertion for their relief. if In approaching the Almshouse every object that met the eye seemed calculated to please the fancy and elevate the imagination. Nature was in het vigor and beauty, but within the edifice we found every description of affliction with which human nature could be visited. But it wassatisfactoryto find every attention was given by the stewart and ma- tron to solace the minds and mitigate the sufferings of the untortunate. Here, as well as at the Peni tentiary, the bread wasot superior quality, and the Jury would recommend the same _ kind tor the in- mates of the County Prison and the House of Re- fuge. Bread being the stuff of life, a choice of the best should be given to the young, the weak and the infirm for their support and nourishment. The Grand Jury would further present that from what has come to their knowledge, the great evils and violations of law as it respects Tipping Houses, Ina great measure still remains uaabated, inasmuch as the very functionary, in the Second Ward, Ken- sington, whose duty it is tc enforce the law on that subject, has to the knowledge of this Grand Jury been the instrument to screen the offenders, in- stead of assisting in bringing them to justice. In closing our labors we congratulate the court and the citizens generally, on the amall number of crimes of a serious nature which have been brought before the Grand Jury, and that but tor the late riots, the like of which we trust will never take place again in our otherwise peaceful community, a hea'thier conditiou could not be expected Wa Waonsr, Foreman, Tos.

From the fearless course which you pursue, with regard to the corruptions of the press throughout the country, I presume you will not be backward in helping the good people of the “Queen city of the West,” in bringing to light some of the abuees that are daily practised upon them, in and under the head of market reports, which will not only be @ benefit to this place, but to many others, whose citizens have been misled by their quotations. And from the manner in which they ure got up, one would suppose (not knowing who the wire pullers are) them to be Hn» correct; but to those who are in the secret, nothing could be got up that would be more repugnant to men who have the least spark of honor trickling through their veins The process by which they are made out is simply this—the reporters first obtain trom all the business men who are in the produce trade, whatever they individually please to acquaint them of—then the whole hus to go before a junto, whose duty is to modify or remodel, as the circumstances of the case, in their opinion, may require. ‘4 ubject has been a matter of much complaint by many of our most honorable and high-minded business men for some time; and [ think it high time theta radica’ change should be brought about, and that too, pretty soon, to save the credit of onr proud and growing city. The good poeple of other cities may be in the practice of similar offences—all of which affords no excuse for ours é Itis said by many, and Fgicwodl with too much truth, that false samples of wheat and other pro- ducts are daily in the market, and that a mixture of lime and other trash is often put with wheat, to make it weigh more when delivered to the purcha ser. Another vile practice has been more or less practised by the dealers of wheat destined for this market, and that is the mixing of spring wheat with winter wheat; this practice, however, is con- fined to a small portion of the western dealers, and [have no doubt but they will soon find that they only are the losers by the trausaction, not only for euch as 1s actually mixed, but on all other invoices from the same point.

This being the first opportunity I have had of communicating with New York since we sailed, I take occasion to give you, very briefly, some of the particulars of our voyage. Friday, August 2d—Set sail at 94 A. M.—wind N. E. At Whitestone, all the vessels through the gate; got a light breeze from the southward. The sailing now became spirited ; the Spray und Cygnet paired off tor 4 tial—the Cygnet keeping ahead, though she was occasionally hard pressed. The Gimerack led the equadron some distance, and arrived at Loyd’s ilarbor, (the anchorage,) first; Cygnet close on her heels ; then the Mist ; next the Spray, Minna, Coquille, Dream, and Petrel, in the order in which they are mentioned. The Eliza, of Rockland, Captain Martia, which was chartered and fitted up by several gentlemen, toaccompany the yachts, arrived at the anchor- age precisely an hour before the Gimerack. Saturday, August3d—They all started at 7 A.M ; wind N, E., light ; bound jor New Haven. About noon, a smart southerly wind gave usu Jift, end carried us to New Haven Light, where we arrived before 3 P.M, in the following order :— Mist, Dream, Gimerack, Cygnet, Spray, Coquille, and Petrel. The Petre], Captain Rollins, had a rough time, but she came in gallantly, and was received with three hearty cheers, given by the whole fet, The Eliza tried herselt against time to-day. She went from Long Island side oi the Sound, across to New Haven Light, 25 miles by Blunt’s chart, in two hours and five minutes, Swnpay 4th—The revenne cutter Ewing, Capt Hunter, lay at anchor near us last might. Ato quarter before 8A M., we all got under weigh tor Gardner’s Island, cutter along with us, though a little «head at starting. ind 8. by W., weather squally and blowing hard Fine times for the weatherly boat. The Cygnet a:d Gimernck at- tracted all eyes, by the epinted and fora | tume doubtful contest. between them, for the victory of the day. The Gimcrack made a direct coure, while the Cyguet, needleesiy and much to her dis advantage, kept away, thus losing ut least a mule anda half. Aethe squadron arrived, the Cy guet seemed likely to win the honors, beivg only two minutes bebigd the Gimerack, upon whom she was gaining topidly, every moment. She cume in second, and rust have been first, if the run had been three miles longer. ‘As this was tie best and hardest days work, I will give you the exact time from my log.

Bennett, Esq.— It is astonishing to see some eight to fifteen reck- lees fellows lounging about the corner of Green- wich and Cedar streets, on every Sunday afternoon ull 10 o’clock evening, vsing disgusting language that must be heard by every member of the house, on the corner of which they station themselves. ‘They actually had the audacity to seat themselves, on Sunday last, some on the steps, others hanging upon the railings; their crowd too is eometimes so great that passers by are com- pelled to take the street in order to get along.
