There are not twelve stores, to my knowledge, open in the whole place, save three.or four for the gale of drugs. The disease is not confined, as here- tofore, to one locality, but has spread itself entirely over the city. Among those who have died within the last thirty hours are:—A daughter of Capt. Barron, U.S. N.; thiq genticman lost his wife some days ago, and is himself just recovering from the disease; Mrs. Tay- lor; Oliver Eliworth, aged 45; Josephine Allen, 28; Berah Pugh, 25; Wm.

The lightning struck two houses on Fair Ground and burned them down, There arrived here yesterday, in the steamer from Bultimore, three Sisters of Charity, and a young la- dy—Miss Arna M. Andrews--from Syracuse, ork, to cifer their services to take care of the sick. Such disinterested kindness will long be remember- ed by ihe people of Norfolk. At the hospital on Lambeat’s Point, for the past three cys, there has not been a single death. Pais looks favorable. Dr. Wm. Wilson has been appoint- ed resident physician. Port-mouth presents a more animated appearance. On High street many of the stores have opened again, and busines is looking up. The people of Northampton and Mathews coun- ties have been the only ones who have not closed Goors sgainst us during the prevalence of the dis- fe. They have even exhibited feelings unexam- ped elsewhere. t The poor in our place and Portsmouth are suffer- ng for the actual necessities of life, and provisions gre beth high and scarce. The people of Baltimore and Petersburg have sent bssupplies of provisions and money. Many places aurrovnding are making arrangements for the same purpore. Norroux. NEWSPAPER ACCOUNTS.

Between 10 o’clook last, one of the poy eo Stacmncotal rics for ¢ city ocourred on Frank- a ym ae Eutaw streets, be- y latter and th . Since that time there has been every indication of a serious struggle between them, though they have been kept in k by the police, who were always on the ‘tch, in of the anticipated rupture. heir vigilance, however, they have, at last, in their disgraceful designs, and the result was the mortally w of two men and the serious injury of a number of persons, ma- ny of whom are said to have been lookers on at the fray. r( is alleged that the alain, which was false, was sounded by the bell of the Now Market Company, and that a large crowd immediately p d from their house up Eutaw street, rallying under the cries of New Market and United, the crowd being mado up of runners and members of both companies. At the place above mentioned they came in contact with the Mount Vernon, which was proceeding down town, when a most san; ary conflict e: » pis tols, bricks, clubs, and in fact every dangerous mis- sile that could be secured by the rioters being freely used. In the beginning. of the fray, officer Burkins, who & watch, Notwithstandin was in the midst of the rioters, endeavoring riper the disturbance, cbserved a man poms a di- rectly at him, but before he could fire the of had stepped to one side and the ball strack a young man named Charles Ellis, aged about 21 years, who re- sides in South Paca street, near Fremont. It enter: ed under the left ear and passing directly through lodged in the opposite side of his head. The wound- ed man was immediately taken to the drug store of Mr. Perkins, near by, by officer Smith, where he was attended by Drs. Chatard and Kloman, after which he was carried to his residence by officers Charles Brown and Miller, where he now lies in o hopeless condition, his physicians deeming his reco- very impossible. Officer Burkins succeeded in arresting Minnie Jobnson, alias George Jones, the person said to have fired the pistol, and he was committed by Justice Megee for a further examination. Both he and Ellis are said to be members of the United Fire Com- ny, which leaves the inference that the shot was per for the officer. Scorge Kemp, aged about twenty-one years, who resides in Franklin street, near Fremont, received a ball in his left breast, which passed through tho lung and lodged in his back. He was carried to the office of Dr. Donavan & Son, by officers Brown and Miller, and after his wounds were dressed he was re- moved to his residence in the doctor's cart 5 They also pepe tenes his recovery impossible, being barely alive at a late hour yesterday afternoon. Although formerly a member of the New Market, he is eaid to have been only a looker on, and not a par- ticipant in the riot. Ofiicer Saville also made a narrow escape, a ball grazing his head and striking an unknown man standing directly behind him, who was suppowed to be one of the party with the Mount Vernon ap: aratus. “ Another man, who was standing upon the pavement ashort distance off, received a ball in his head, but was able to get off before his name could be ascer- tained. Three others—two white men and the other @ negro—were also wounded while looking at the riot, One of the white men received a ball in his left shoulder, the other in the groin, while the negro was wounded in the leg. We were unable to ascer- tain their names, as they immediately left for home at good speed. Several others were observed to leave the ground wounded from pistol shots, bricks, &c., and it ig thought that at least twenty persons were wounded by pistol shots, asa continued fire was kept np for about five minutes after the commence- ment of the fray, when the police and watchmen of that rection succeeded in separatirg the combatants. Officers James, Plowman, Hough and T. oer were injured by being struck with bricks, thoug! none of them seriously. John Watson, John Kelton, Howard Davis, Minnie Johnson alias George Jones, Chas. Nally, Joseph Denson and John Smith, were arrested for partici- pee in the riot by officers Saville, James, Merri- en, Burkins and Hines, and watchmen Gordon and Bailey, and all except Denson, who was held to answer, cominitted to await a further examination by Justices Megee and Hayward. The officers named are entitled to commendation for their prompt and decisive action and unflinching courage, as it was at the most imminent peril that they performed their duties, the crowd being for the most armed and incessggtly firing. Several Of théfi Gad Uiéir ciothes perforated witn baus, but fortunately escaped unhurt. The apparatus of the Mount Vernon Ce bears evidence of the vio- lence of their assailants, every “portion of it being completely riddled and cnt by the balls fired at those with it. Indeed, it is a matter of surprise that more were not aa from the number of shots that were exchanged. At about the same time of the occurrence of the above frightful riot, the Vigilant and Lafayette fire companies came together at the corner of Balti- more and High streets, where some shaup fighting was done, but they were soon separated, some arrests made by a posse of police, under the charge of High Constable Herring. Again at 3 o'clock yesterday aaa alarm, which was also false, ‘was sounded by bell of the Lafayette, and upon the Vigilant proceeding to that section, another conflict ensued between them, which was only pre- vented from resulting seriously by the prompt ap- pearance of a large police and watch force. Some prompt action is cist on the of the authorities to put an end to these disgraceful exhibitions, as they not only tend to render ineffi- cient the Oy eters of peaceable fire companies, but reflect shame upon them as well as our city. Obituary. DEATH OF HON. PHILO C. FULLER. We learn from the Rochester Democrat that this gen- tleman died at Rose Hill, near Geneva, the residence of his son-in-law, Samuel’ 8. Esq., on Thursday morning at cight o'clock. Mr. Fuller has suffered from a chronic difficulty many years, and it has at last ended his life. ‘The deceased was an early settler of Livingston county, and is generally known in all that section. In public life he has been distinguished, having ‘held the most honorable stations, and been entrusted with high State interests. He was once Assistant Postmaster General, Speaker of the Michigan House of Representa- tives, and State Comptroller. Latterly he has beon ex- tensively engaged in agricultural pursuits in Livingston county, an occupation which he doubtless found pro- ductive of more happiness than the most elevated pub- Mec station.—ALany Iegister, Aug. 2. POST MORTEM EXAMINATION OF THE BODY OF MR. LAWRENCE, [From the Boston Advertiser, Aug. 20.) We learn that on a post mortem examfantion, under the superintendence of Jacob Bigelow, M. D., the me dical attendant on Mr. Lawrence during his {Ilnese, the indications of disease were discovered. ’ The followin, ver and gall bladder were found adhering to tho large intestine and to the wall of the abdomen. In the midst of this adhesion was an ulcerated cavity, which had found an opening at one extremity into the base of the gi bledder, and at the other into the ascending colon. ere were ulcers in the stomach, and in the upper part of the small intestine, the former of which had so nearly perforated the coats of the organ that a probe was passed through without sonsible resistance. Fhere was disoare of less magnitude in the kidneys and some other orgons. Theatres and Exhibitions.
