errr ‘Whe Riot in Meyamensing—One Man Killed, a Number of Persons Wounded, Pumapetrmia, June 18, 1849. ‘The bloodshed and loss of life in Moyamensing,* yesterday, by the firemen’s riot, alluded to briefly im my letter of yesterday, proved to be so serious as to cause great alarm in the minds of the citizens ef that quarter. The Franklin Hose boys, in order toget a chance to retaliate on the Moyamensing, set fire toa small shed about noon yesterday, which brought out that company. Their leader, William McMullin, having served in Mexico, brought his military knowledge to the aid of his comrades, and ebrerving, before they had gone many squares, @ movement making by their opponents, to out- flank the company 80 as to cut off their re- treat from the hose house, a counter move- ment was hastily made, which, enabled a_por- tion of the company to retire with the carriage, while the rest protected the retreat. The retiring brought the Franklin rowdies down Fitzwater street, towards Eighth, a steady fire with pistols and bricks being maintained on both sides. The party that retreated with the hose carriage soon returned to the scene, having armed themselves in the meantime. Some hurried back with guns and large horse pistols. Quite a number of persons received shots in their limbs, or were cut with the flying missiles, and limped off, or were assisted awa) by their friends. a A leader of the Franklin, Alexander Gillies, had fired several shots while stationed in Fitawater sireet, below Ninth. Two men at the corner of Eighth street fired about the same moment up the street, and Gillies fell, pierced to the beart with a bull. This had the eficet of cooling tha courage of “the “Franklin boys,” and they retreated, while the fatal event becoming known to the opposite party, the hot-headed leaders in the fray skulked away, fearful of the consequences to themselves, if caught with jams in their hands. So the matier ended for the day. ! 3 The scene of the conflict was just back of Ro nalcson’s cemetery, which beautiful spor, sacred tothe memory of the dead, as well as the sanctity ef the Sabbath, was desecrated by two bands of armed men violating the laws of both God and man, simply because the utter inefliciency of the constituted authoruies of the district presented no restraining influence to check their turbulen passions. y ‘ The population ase, in the main, Irish, the ma- jorsty in the eastern section being Catholics, and, in the western Protestants. ‘he bitterness with which the battle was waged yesterday, may be accounted for by the fact that the mem- bers of the Meyamensing represeat the Catholic, and the Franklin company the Protestant portion of the district. The authorities have betrayed a most despicable truckling to the mob power ;_ some of the members of the Board of Commissioners having actually done their best to release one of the mob from the grasp of the law, when he was arrested in the act of carrying off the captain of the watch, for the purpose of handing him over to the city police, stauoned across the boundary line, as a rioter. During the afternoon, the Sheriff.closed up both of the companies houses, and stationed a police force within them to prevent the members from taking out their carriages, or entering for any pur- ose Whatever. The night passed off quietly. Bie morning the Sheriff made complaint to the Court, ofthe Mayor ef the city having perempto- rily refused to _permnt his police, force to cross the city boundary to aid that functionary in restoring peace. The Judge showed, by the act of 1343, that the Sheriff had the right tocommand the force of the entire c! ty and county, and the officer re- fusing, was liable to indictment fora misdemeanor. No further deaths of ioe in the riot have come to light. A lad named Lawson, lies at the Hospital with a dangerous wound in the right breast. At least a dozen others were wounded. A meeting has been called of the citizens of Moy- amensing for to-morrow evening, to take measures to avert further disturbances, [From the Philadelphia Sun, June 18.] . One of the most terrific nots that has taken place in Philadelphia since the memorable riot of the eur 1844, occurred yesterday, at about noon, at Ninth and Fitzwater street, Moyamensing, be- tween the members and adherents of the Moya- mensing and Franklin Hose Companies of that Dis- trict. For some months past, a feud has existed between the gangs ot rowdies of East and West Moyamensing, and latterly, several attacks have been made on the Franklin Hose Company, during larms of fire. These attacks were made generally at night, by irresponsible gangs unknown; and yes- terday, at noon, the two flre companies were broxght into tearful collision. There were brave hearts engaged in the contest, worthy, indeed, of a better cause. The fight, of course, was despe- rate, and it lasted full three-quarters of an hour. The following particulars are from the most re- hable souret On Saturday evening, as the Franklin Hose Company was Wiese | froin & small fire in the vicinity of Spruce and Eighth streets, they were met by an opposing gang of rowdies in Shippen street, between Ninth and Tenth, crying out, ‘Go it, Moya! Go it, Moya!” Severul pistols were fired, and brickbats were hurled in any number. An ineffectual attempt was made to take the Franklin’s carri ‘The com- pany proceeded home, having defended themselves against the assaults of the aggressors, and the riot- ers dispersed. During this riot, Mrs. Montgomery and Mrs. Ogilby, the wives of two reverend gentlemen, had ust returned to the residence of the first named lady, and the moment after they passed the thresh- hold of the door, a large brick-bat struck the door jemb- They certainly made a very narrow and fortunate escape. | ‘ _ Everything remained quiet until about half-past two o’clock yesterday morning. Atthis hour there was a bonfire made in one of the northern Districts, and the down town companies proceeded towards the place of the supposed fire. ‘The Franklin Hose ran a short distance up town, but soon re- tumed, there being no fire. Whilst going up South street, and crossing Twelfth, they were surprised by a gang ef rowdies, numbering about irty. y There being but few members with the Frank- lin, they were soon forced from their ropes, and their carriage fell into the hands of the aggressive party. They ran with it towards the Southwark railfad, and leaving the hose behind them, started down the railroad to, the wharf with the empty carriage, and threw it into the Delaware. Durin; this attack, two young men, named Hatley, resid- ing in Carpenter street, above Tenth, were severely injured by the rioters. Tney were defending the earriage from the assault. One of them had an arm broken; the other was badly cut about the ead. The rioters, whilst proceeding towards the wharf, broke the cylinder and bells of the earriage, and a party of them were seen after daybreak, in the vicinity of the railroad and Ninth street, break- ing the pieces of bells into still smaller pieces, in onder to have breastpins made out of the material. As the day dawned, the news of the outrage on the Franklin Hose, spread around the District, and naturally caused more or less excitement. At out nine o’clock, the dilapidated carriage was fished up from the river by a crowd of boys, and taken by them to its lawful owners. They ia turn quietly took it to the authorities of the Dis- trict of Moyamensing, and with the Hose, which had been cut by the desperadoes daring the night, was placed in the yard ot the public hall. ‘The excitement continued. Large numbers of residents issued from t! houses, many out of curiosity, and a number of men, feeling themselves goaded on to almost madness, and knowing of the utter imbecility of the district corporation—the re- cent singular action of this Board being fresh in their minds—determined to defend themselves from further aggression. At a meeting of the corporation, held some months since, the following resolutions were ad ed by the Board.” We publish them now, as they muy have a bearing upon the present case, Kesolved, That in the opinion of this board, ecea- sional turbulence of conduct is not the worst crime that young men can be guilty of, and the laws that already exist are ample for ite punishment. The fact that ® number of young men are now in our count prison, under sentences of from twelve to eighteen months, for acts of turbulent conduct committed in a 5 moment of excitement, clearly demonstrates that ex. | irting laws, if judiciously enforced, are ample at least to severely punish, if not to prevent, all disturbances and riotons cond Resolved, That the alor, the Intreplaity, and bra- very of our young mem, evinced upon the battle fel of Mexico. stands in bold record upon their country’s Bistory, and bas added to its honor and its fame, while eur legislators are attempting to pass laws that will do- prive them of their natural rights to resist when at- tacked, and will force them to flee when a*sauited, under the pain and penalty of epending a portion of their lives ina felon's cell. ‘It is better, far better, that we rhould have occasional slight disturbances in our public streets, than that st ould foster the growth ‘of © community of eraven-hearted, cowardly young men, unfit to defend their country’s honor in the hour of perilfand unworthy of their country’s honor, Vhat also added to the excitement, was the fol- lowing incendiary notice, printed, no dou'yt, by the rioters, and pasted on posts, and fe: and walls, in different parts of Moyamensing Notice. —The Millerites of Moyamensing, from ten years old and upwards. are requested to meet this evening, on business. The Western division will mect in the market house, in Eleventh street, and the East ern will meet at bighth and bitswater streets. Those having guns or pistois will bring tl along; those not Daving there ureful weapons are requested to being as many brickbats and stones ne they can carry. The police and watchmen will be on the ground to see fair Play, Hurra! Franklin! Go it, Moya! This aflair may be set down asa signal of at- tack, and at twenty minutes to twelve o'clock yes about the time the. different churches ig out, an alarm of fire prevailed. The Moyamensing Hose company ran up Vighth street, and proceeded out Shippen. There evidently be: ne f they returned to their house. At Nint and Fitzwaier street, they came in collision with a large party of men and boys, and a fight took place. tn forces stood their ground, and the battle fluctuated for full three quarters of an hour. A number of the residents of East Moremensing, with guns, pistols, or other weapons in their hands, left ihe ‘dwellings, and participated in the fearful outbreak. Many shots were fired, and a number of the combatants on both sides fell. ‘The bulk of the fire-arms was oa the side of the Moyamensing Hose, the other party having few or no fire-arms athand. The vicinity, as might be expected, was thrown into the most intense excitement. The re- sidents closed their windows, and some of them even took shelter in their cellars, not knowing what might be the final result. Boys in any num- ber were busily engaged in tearing up the pave- ment on Fitzwater street, opposite Ronaldson’s Cemetery, and scattering them about the streets, to be handy to the more able and vigorous of the belligerents. | During the riot, a young man, named Alexander Gillies, aged 21 years, residing in Stewart street, below 'Fitzwater, was killed. The ball passed through the fleshy part of the arm, and lodged in the region of the heart. The Coroner, at about 3 o’clock, held an inquest on the body, and the fol- lowing is the evidence adduced :— Adam Menns, sworn.—I live in the vicinity of Buck Road and Long Lane; work for Jordan Gaildy; I saw Mr. Black and a drayman, who lives back of Moya- mensing Hose House, fire; thit man Gillies fell; it oc- about 11 o’cloek on Sunday, the 17th June; the ed was a member of the Fraaklin Hose Company; wheels in Jordan's brick yard; the drayman stands af Fourth and Chestnut streets; heard them hurrah; then fring commenced by the Moyamensing; Gillies was at the bead of Franklin; saw both fire; Black was on one corner, and the drayman on the other. * One or twe other witnesses were examined, but their testimeny was about the same with the above. A verdict was rendered in accordance with the above evidence, : We lear from the President of the Frankhn Hose that the deceased was not a member ot that company. It is also said that he was not engaged in the riot. A report was freely circulated, that he had, on e recent oceasion, led on a party of row- dies, in an attack on the Sunday school scholars of Dr. Cneeseman’s church, whilst they were enjoy- ing w pe nic at Fair Hill. This, we ‘are requested to state, is also entirely unfounded. The following is a list of the wounded, so far as we are enabled to obtain them:—Lytle Hurst, re- siding at the corner of Shippen and § fford streets, was shot above the eye, and in the leg. He proceeded to the apothecary store of Mr. Rizer, comer of Fifth and Shippen streets, and had the wound over his eye dressed. Ie betrayed evident symptoms of alarm, and, fearing arrest, walked or limped away, without waiting to have the wound in his leg examined. Ties William Danniclift and brother, residing in Bed- ford street, were badly hurt, One had a leg stabbed, and the other his head cut. illiam Lawson, aged 15 years, was taken to the hospital. He received a ball in his shoulder, which had not been extracted up to the time we left the hospital. A lad, named Jackson, was stabbed in the leg. _ James Rogers was wounded in the left arm by a pistol ball. é leigh . John Rollin, a painter, residing in Thirteenth street above Fitzwater, on returning from church, feosined a painful wound. The ball passed through Mis arm. Walter Philips, residing in Lombard street near Schuylkill Fifth, received a severe wound in his thigh. He was taken to Dr. Wilson’s drug store, and the wound having been attended to, he was taken home. / A young man, named Smith, 1s reported to have been killed, but we could not trace this to any authentic source. y A man standing at Tenth and Fitzwater streets, received a ball in hishead. He fell, got up, walk- ed way, and has not been heard ot since. Patrick Duffy was wounded in the face witha brickbat. He and Captain Mathieu arrested a young man, who gave his name Green. He was taken to the Hall and locked up for a hearing. We are assured by Aldeman McClain, that many other persons were hurt, but the most of them being rioters, have kept themselves closely housed, in order to escape arrest, The *alderman captured one fellow, named McVay, and had him locked up at the city police office. He and Gréen will have a hearing probably this morning. We are requested to state that a citizen of the district, on observing one of the rioters levelling a horre pistol, called on the police officer Stewart, and watchman Black, to arrest him, or to assist in arresting him, but they refused. The next mo- ment the man pulled the trigger, and then dis- appeared. , fe In conversation with a gentleman who resides in the vicinity of the batie-ground, and whose judgment in such matters may be relied on, he in- formed us that the contending parties went through their preliminary operations with much skill. a observed their general movements from an elevated position, and the deliberation which marked the course of the bellizerents, fora few mmutes pre- vious to the commencement, was such as to show that neither of the leaders was devoid of military skill. The outbreak commenced ata time when men, women and children were in the streets. The balls whistled past them, one or two street lamps were broken, and gutter Cae casings were drilled, and the falling foliage of the trees in Ron- aldson’s Cemetery was evidence sufficient that the unseen messengers of death were passing in that direction, thus endangering the lives of all persons who happened to be seated in or strolling about that sacred enclosure. At about half past 12 o’clock the fight ceased; the contending parties were evidently exhausted, and retraced their steps to different parts of the district. A number of the citizens, fearing the attack might again be renewed, called upon the sheriff to interpose his authority. : ‘This high officer proceeded at once to his duty. At his request, Mayor Swift promptly called out the city police force, and stationed them on the borders of the city and ws petite He also called out the Southwark police, and this body was stationed on the line between their district and Moyamen- sing. He also called out the police of Moyamensing, end a number of citizens tendered their services to im, if required. Thus were the police forces mar- thalled; and at four o'clock, the sheriff, seating himeelt in a carriage, drove over diflerent sections of the district, and gave his orders to his men.— There was no farther outbreak, we are gratified to state. So faras the Franklin Hose Company is concerned, they are looked upon as the aggreased party in this terrific fight, and have acted on the ground of self-defence. . 2 P. S.—At 12 o’clock last night, everything was perfectly quiet in Moyamensing. There was no disturbance after nightfall. Our Philadelphia Correspondence. Purapecenta, June 18, 1849.

One of his children died on Saturday night, and whilst sitting m the box on Suturday he was a pitiable object to behold, chal- lenging the commisseration o| every one. 7 he tial of John Price is set for Wednesday, and it is supposed that it will require the remainder of the week to obtain a jury. His-counsel and friends are hunting up witnesses to prove that Joha Price, when drunk, was always a deranged man; and ergo, John Price, when he shet George Cump- bell, was a deranged man. But how they will at tempt to reconcile the plea of derangement with his efforts to eecape hia concealment of the pistol, &c., has not yet been disclored.

Fiske, however, is said to be an extraordinary operator in this new science.

A severe rain storm followed the hurricane, which lasted over two hours, Tarpaulins were spread over the ladies’ cabin for the protection of the ladies. ‘The farm houses ip the vicinity were blown down, trees were up- rooted. aud many wood beats and flats in the vicinity ot New Medrid were sunk during the storm.

Democrat, June 13, Marine Affairs, Vovace ov tHe Packet snip Exrenraise.—The En- terprise arrived bure last night. Annexed isan account of ber passage over the Atlantic: New-York, Juno 18, 1849. In the regular report of the packet ship *Euterprise,? Capt. Stanbury Funk. just arrived at this port from Liverpool. some account 1s given of the very severe wea- ther encountered by that vessel in her ‘late passage. As one of her passengers, | beg to call attention more particularly to @ position in which we were at one time Placed. of most unusual and extraordinary dificulty and danger, On the night of the 12thinst., when about 4 or 5 do- grees westward of the Grand Bank it eame en blowing strong and violent galesfrom the eastward. which rolled up the rea toa great height Under @ heavy spread of sail, the vessel wus kept before the wind, and darted tbrough the water at the top of her speed, keeping bo- yond the reach of the mountain waves, which rose astern wud pursued her with inereasing height and velocity Suddenly about 4 A. M., whilst scudding 1 efore the wind to the westward. at the rate of eleven. ard a half knots per hour. by the log. @ tremendous sea bg up astern, as if by mazic, and burst upon our witha terrificcrash. The taffrail a massive beam like a pipe stem, and fell trward, jamming the rudder; the wheel was’ smashed to pieces, uway went binuacle, hen-coops. poop ladder, cabin sky-lights, aud everything else on the poop deck, and down poured the flood upon us, deluging our cabin fore and aft with water. The vessel stagyered beneath the biow. shivering through all her timbers, and for minute or more hung suspended, her atern deep in the sew, and her bow out of water at an angle of 45 degrees with the horizon, However, the heavy eail up, and the wind blowing at the time almost @ burricane. soon drove her forward, her rudder still tight jammed and standing amidships, This was the time of extreme peril. To bring her by the wind, the fore sheets were Jet go and blew to ribbons, the main yard was braced, and happily the ship came to before taking another sea, For five or six minutes all hands tugged bard to feoe the rudder, when by a sudden jerk it was got loose. the yersel obeyed her helm, and onee more we breathed freely. Our escape we regard as a narrow one, and though landsmen often consider that alarming which seamen look on as but trivial, I think it will be admitted that for a few minutes we were in a most perilous predica- ment. When the vessel's stern sunk down beneath the superincumbent flood that burst upon her, had she then shipped another similar sea, as was likely she would. paralyzed by the previous shock. and filling as she was between decks through the cabin scuttle. my opinion she would have gone down almost instant ly. And when freed from that position, plunging for- d. the helm fixed and immovable bencath the heavy taffrail. avd sens high as mountains rolling around ua, the danger we were in cannot be exaggerated, T havo made many voyages across the Atlantic, by steam and sailing vesvels, in all seasons of the year, but never be- fore witnessed or conceived of such frightful peril and so happy anescape. After a due sense of gratitude to that Power that rules the tempest, we cannot give too much credit to our watchful captain end officers, who being all on deck at the time, displayed a superior courage, presence of mind, and energy, in ciroum- stances so calculated to appal and unnerve the stoutost.
