BROOND ATTEMPT TO LYNCH THE ACCUSED, During the progress of the Ooroner’s inquest. ‘he friends of Anderson formed themselves into a Vigilance Commit- tee, and detormined at all hazards to take the prisoner from the police, when ‘he latter were conveying him to the Tombs, and hang him to the nearest lamp post, The ne. Ces-ary materials for executing the offender were al ready, and it only remained for them to get him once in their hands to have the murder of their favorite fully avenged. Accordingly, when the inquess was concluded and the Prisoner was put into a carriage for the purpose of being conveyed to the Tombs, a crowd of over 3,000 persons Pressed arcund the vehicle and so blocked up the passage that it was with the greatest difficulty the horses could be made to proceed on the journey, Sergeant Williamson and two other policemen accompanied the prisonor !n the car- rage, and they, fearing that a rescue would be made if the carriage passed down Centre street, gave orders to the driver to turn up Spring street and proceed to the Tombs by way of the Bowery and Chatham square, #0 as to avoid the crowd. The driver whipped up the horses and tried te get ‘away from the threatened storm, but the butcher boys were Bot be foiled so easily, They ran aiter the carriage, and when it got to the Bowery they succeeded in bringing it to azstand still, They then clustered around ihe doors and endeavorod to open them and drag out the object of their Vengeance, but the officers, after a great den! of parleying and threatening to use their revolvers upon the mob, succeeded in carry ing their prisoner off to @ place of safety, Coroner Connery was present during the atttck on the carriage, and appealed te the people to disperse aud not to take the law into their own hands. He sald that the pri- soner was already under conviction by a Coroner’s Jury, and that he was perfectly seoure snd could uct escape the doom that awaited him, ‘The threats of the policemen to use their revolvers, to- gether with the advice of the authorities, had the effect of dispersing the crowd, and the carriage was allowed to pro- ceed on its journey. Sergeant Williamson fearing another attack, decided not to proceed to the Tombs at all; and after ercaping from the attention of the boys, decided to proceed to Hidridge street jail and there lodge the prisoner in a place of eafety and quietness. The Vigilance Committee were completely out-manceu- vred, They thought the carriage would be driven to the Tombs, and accordingly when the attack in the Bowery was ccferred all proceeded ina body to the corner of Franklin Centre streets, and there waited patiently for nearly an hour, expecting every moment to see the much looked for carriage drive up to the Tombs. They watched every carriage that came up Centre street, utter” ing dire imprecations upon the head of the unfortunate man who had offended them, and were so éxcited that few doubted their istentions as to the summary manner in which the prisoner would have been punished could they have laid hands upon him. The excitement arouni the Tombs was intense, A crowd of persons, numbering some five or ‘six thousand, thronged every inch of the square sur- rounding the Halls of Justice, The officials in the Tombe were balf scared to death, expecting every moment that an atiack would be made upon the building. The great body of the people were not aware of the course pursued by Sergeant Williameon, and @inking that the prisoner bad been lodged in the prison unknown to them, they began to meditate an attack upon the premises; but upon being assured that such was not the case, and that no one in the prison know anything respecting the whereabouts of the Bcoured, they quietly disperted, fot, however, withoa giving utterance to the most fearful threats agsinst the Ita'an, should they suoceed in findiag out bis place of con- cealment It was their intention to bang bim upon the spot, Arope and temporary gollows was in readidess for the purpose of putting their threats into execution should the prisoner make bis appearacce among them. ADDITIONAL PARTICULARS. The police took the Italian burglar in a carriage at 235 P.M., and proceeded through Spring street towards the Tombs. There were tix officers with the prisoner to pre- vent bis being seized by the crowd and lynched; in the \weide of the carriage were Sergeants Williamson, Weed, Shapgle and officer Weymes; on the steps of the carriage ‘stood officers Shorrer and Williams. All the officers were armed with revolvers, ready to repel any attack, A dense crowd followed the carriage, utterl: ¢ imprecations against the prisoner, When the carriage arrived at the corner of Broome street and the Bowery the crowd had become so large and excited as to entirely stop ite pro- gress; the horses were seized by their heads; part of the harness was cut, and there were loud calls for the prisoner. The crowd wished to wreak thelr vengeance upon him without delay; some leaped upon the carriage; others tried to force open the doors, Officers Sherrer and Wil lama showed great courage and presence of mind at tha! critical moment; they leaped from the sieps of the carriage, porbed back the crowd, and wheo words and pushing would not do, they drew their rovolvors. At the same time theofficers im the inside of the carriage drew their revolvers and pointed them from the windows, thos showing an ubyielding determination to keep posres sion of the prisoner, At this moment two officers from ‘he Tenth ward who were near came to the aid of the police. They shook the crowd from the horvee, the driver emartly whipped them up, and the crowd, not des!rous of storming eo many batteries, put off the time for seizing and lynchlog the murderer; so the carriage passed on to Grand street There the crowd mostly lef ‘t and hurried on to the Tombs, where they expe.ted the priscner was being carried, to make their final preparaisions for seizing and hanging ‘When the carriage got itto the Bowery, between Heeter and Grand streets, \t stopped, and the officers held » oon- svltation about the propriety of conducting the prisoner to the Tombe under the existing circumstances. It wae finally determined to deceive the crowd, abd take bim in another direction. 0 the carriage passed down tho Bow. ery to Division street, amd up Division street to Orchard street, which being « quiet strect waa followed to Grand, and thence to Favex street prison, im @hich the prisoner was daly confined. All this wae done with the utmost despatch poasible, so an to prevent ‘he crowd from returning and taking the law into thelr own bands. . THRE STORE THAT WAS ENTERED, Quite s crowd last evening wae gathered arovna the tore whieh had been entered by the burglars. Thero waa ® great deal of discussion in regard to it The people were ‘all ananimour, however. on one potnt—tigat the murderer should be lynched. Bach individwal man seomed willing to undergo peril to achieve that most dosired end. Some blamed the police for the course they had taken, in se creting the prisoner and keeping bim out of the bands of the peopie; others spoke very highly of the good condact of the police, expecially the quickness with which they flew to the spot afier ihe discharge of the pistol, also of their skill and enterprise in pursuing and arresting the borglar. Some said if it had been unter the rule of the old police the arrest, &c., woull not have been accom. plished, while others assorted that if the old police bad ‘been in power the murderer would have been lyached ere ‘that ume. The murdered officer was spoken of in the highest terms, and the only thing the people seemed anxious about waa to visit summary jac gment upon the prisoner. TRS MURDERER’S BPPROTS. Four large tronks,® bureau and any quantity of other things, which were found im tho prisoner's rooms, are now in the Fourteesth ward station house; among them are two guns, one a double barre! gun. both loaded etx Inches: deep; each barrel contained nine large buck shot and @ one ounce ball. The room of the murderer wae so ar. ranged that the door only epened wide enough to let one person im at a time: #0, if he had ever rucoseded in petting into hia room, he could not have been taken except with the loes of several lives, He ie s despermte man, and war Prepared for a desperate defence. [t is even thonght that with bis keg of powder he would have blown himecif ‘and the house ap rather than be taken.

MEETING OF THB FRIENDS OF THE MUR- DERED POLICEMAN. A large and respectable meeiing of the friends of Bagene Anderson, the faithful officer, who lost his li’e while in the diseharge of his duty im arresting a du’giar inthe Fourteenth ward, on Tuesday morning, was held at the Fourteenth ward police station house last evening. There were several hundred citizens of the ward prosent. Mr. H. ©, Vail was, upon motion, called to the chair, and John H. Chambers and Joseph 9. Hutton were chosen reoretaries, Mr. 8. L, Macompen them addressed the meeting. He sald they were called together to lament tho death of an esteemed fellow-citizen. They all knew Fugene Anderson as an esteemed ciizen, He bad been more than that, for be was chosen to preserve the peace of the city, and his performance of bis duties bore ample testimony to tho fitness of his choice. He wasa young man eminently qualified for the position that he occupied. it behoved them to lay these things to brart, and he had bimself felt this the more keenly when he knew that that that estima- ble young man was just about to make provision for bis sister aud friends, He had thought, ashe looked upon that once fair form, now sold in death, how mutable were all bumap affairs. Im conclusion, he offered the following series of reso! utions:— Whereas, our friend and fellow citzen, Dugene Anderson, bas been stricken down by the hand of tne burglar and assassin while in the actual discharge of his du jesasa public officer, we few) it our duty to give pome suliadie ex- pression of our feeling relative to the sad event which has called us together; therefore, Resolved, Thai in the death of Mr. Anderson we have lost an © teemed friend ard fellow citizen, and the citizens of New York a faithful and most efficient officer.

Rerolved, That a committee of five be appointed by this meeting to unite with our fellow citizens in making suitable Preparauions for his interment. Mr. Racey suggested the propriety of recommending the authorities to make expeditions work of the murderer, and not make another Carne! case of It. It was, however, ‘voted down. Mr. Terwuicen addressed the meeting briefly, express ing his knowledge of the merits of the deceased from an intimate acquaintance, He knew him as a faithfu) cldcer and good citizen. ‘Ex-Judge Pruii® next addressed the meet.ng.
