FATAL RESULT OF THE CANAL STREET TRAGEOY, @he Inquests Upon the Bodies of the Victims, to, he, THE ASSASSINATION IN WATER STREET. FOUR PARTIES STARBED—TNE INQUEST YESTERDAY — NO CLUE TO THE MURDERERS—THE DECEASED PRO- BABLY IDENTIFIED. ‘The mystery which hung around the terrible tragedy which took place between one and two o'clock yesterday morning, in Water street, was partially removed by the evidence elicited at the inquest yesterday; but no clue hhas yot been obtained to the cause of the affray. So far, i wears the aspect of a wanton and unprovoked murder; the only provocation given to the assassins being some akercation with one of the girls relative to “two piastres,”” which one of the rufflans charged her with having posses ston of. The most unfortunate feature in the case is that the deceased had no connection with any of the parties concerned in it, but was a casual visiter at the house, and was ritting quietly in his chair when he was hurried to a violent death. Though no one came to claim the unforta- nate man yesterday, it is thought that his identity is par fially established. On his person was found a small memorandum book, with the name “Andrew McManus’ written on it. In the course of the day a girl froma dance house in neighborhood, recognized him as a person of that name who had been in the habit of visiting her, and says that he was at her house early on the night of the murder, but having disagreed with her bout pecuniary matters, he left and went to Driscoll’s hhonge. She states that he worked on a canal boat i Bouth Brooklyn, of which his brother, James A. McManus, fe the captain, and that he was from Rochester, N. Y. But the police made the most diligent search in Brooklyn yesterday and could find no such name as McManus on any canal boat. Deceased is a slight, fair man, about thirty-five years old, and is dreased in a dark cloth coat, Diack velvet vest, gray pants, white shirt and heavy boots. He wore a Kossuth hat. ‘There were in the house at the time the two assassins ‘entered, deceased, « young man named Arnold James, the Proprietor, Driscoll, bis brother-in-law, Barrett, and live or six girls. The two men who came in spoke some foreign dia Yect. Ono of them beckoned to the girl Susan Dempsey ‘and retired up stairs with ber. In afew minutes he re turned, and pushing her into a kind of entry off the bar seommenced to speak loud. Driscoll! asked what was the ‘matter, and he replied that the girl had two piastres of his. At this time the other man, who had remained be Jow, made some remark in a strange tongue, and Driscoll gald be did not understand him. He then drew a dirk ‘and made a rosh towards him, but Priscoll laid hold of a Dottie, when the fetlow suddenly halted and struck right and left at deceased and Arnold Jams, killing the former fmstantly, and stabbing James in the side. At the same moment the taller man struck down Barrett and the girl Dempsey. The whole murderous affray did not eccupy more than a few minutes. It appears that the men are known to Driscoll person- ally, but he has no knowledge of their names or residence. ‘That they are either Italians or Spaniards is evident. The sheath of the dirk which was found on the spot was exbi Dited to the jury yesterday. It is quite new, handsomely mounted in silver, and chased in gilt. MEDICAL TESTIMONY. ‘A post-mortem examination was made yesterday on the body of decoased by Dre. Finnell, Ferguson and Garrish. ‘The following is their statement:— Doctore Binnell, Fer and Garriah, being duly sworn, depose and. say—We have made a post mortem examina- tion on iy of a man now lying dead at the Fourth ‘ward station house, We found one large wound on the right wide of the ye ees the third and fourth ribs, two inches to the right of the middle portion of the sternam, transverse in its direction, the harp edge of the knife Deing turned towards the’ breast bone.

Our reporter visited the New York Hospital last even- ing for the purpose of inquiring after the wounded. He there learned tbat Barrett was still alive, but was not ex pected to survive during the night. Susan Dempsey was a ittle easier, but Dr. Dubois, the house surgeon in attend- ance upon the patients, gave it as his opinion that she could not survive the injuries received. THE WILLIAM STREET ASBASSIN ATION. CONTINUATION OF THE CORONER'S INQUEST—IMPOR- TANT EVIDENCE—FURTHER CLUE TO THE PERPE- TRATOKS—-ARREST OF THE DECEASED'S SON, ON SUSPICION OF BEING IMPLICATED IN THE AFFAIR, BTO., ETC. ‘The inquest in the caae of Francis Vincent, who was so brutally murdered on bis own premises, at No, 13 North William street, on Tuesday night, waa continued yesterday morning at the Coroner's office, resulting in some further and important developements being made public, which may yet tend to elucidation of the apparent mystery that surrounds the case, and bring the guilty parties to justice. Francis Vincent, the eon of the murdered man, is under arrest, on suspicion of having been implicated in the mur- der of dis father, but there does not appear to be the slightest evidence against the young man, It being quite current among those living in the immediate neighborhood of the murder, that the son had been on bad terms with the father and that be had o'ten been heard to say that his father should not live to make a will that would disinherit him, officer Quick thought proper to arrest the suspected party, and accordingly on Wednesday night ho ‘was taken into custody and conveyed to the Second ward station house, where he waa locked up for the night. The prisoner was brought before the Coroner yesterday, and was held to bail in the eum of $1,000 to appear when called upon to answer, The store oceupiea by Mr. Vincent is a fair sample of the murderous wine cellars in the lower part of the city ‘The proprictor was doing quite a respectable business, and had amassed considerable wealth for one in his position, His bank book showed that he had ever $4,000 deposited to his credit in the Chatham Bank. The deceased wasa native of Malta, and was about 68 years of age. He had resided in this city for maay years, and was well and fa- vorably known by citizens of the lower warde. Private watchman Cohen, it was proved, did make a prisoner on the night of the murder, and allowed him to escape. One of the witnesses, Charles Eiseman, testified that on the morning before the murder he saw Michael de. Lorenzo and Joreph White (two of the Italians under arrest) sitting in Mr. Vincent's store while the deceased ‘was counting over a large roll of bills at his desk, bebind the counter, On the whole, the evidence yesterday was quite inte- resting.

THE CANAL STREET TRAGEDY. ATH OF HAMILTON AT THE NEW YORK HOSPITAL, Henry F. Hamilton, the young man who was mortally wounded while engaged in an affray with @ man named John Moroney, in ‘a drinking saloon in Canal street, on Monday, died at the New York Hogpital on Wednesday evening from the effects of the injuries received. Dr. Ray, the house surgeon, made a post mortem examination of the body, when two pistol balls were found lodged in the substance of the in. Coroner Hille was notified in re. gerd to the matter, when he repaired to the hospital and ‘a jury of the foliowing named gentiomen to the case — ‘226 West 27th street. 226 West 26th street. «No. 180 West 234 atroet No. 180 Weet 234 addressed a note to George Van William Grabam Charles Bassett...

George Hinton kaward Saul ‘The jury w ted the friends to remove Uke corpse to 166 West Twenty fifth street, the late residence of deceased, Coroner Hills then postponed the further @onsideration of the case until Saturday morning, at 10 o'clock INTERVIEW WITH THE CONVICT JAMES RODGERS. One of our reportars went yesterday to the Tombs to have an interview with James Rodgers, now confined there under conviction of the murder of Swanston. He found him confined in his cell,at the barred window of which two young sisters stood bathed in tears and con Versing with their brother. One of the sisters was very prety y and interesting, and seemed quite overcome by her emotions. The family is Irish, and consiata of fourtee, children, of whom three brothers and three sisters are in America, and the remainder are dead or still remain in Ireland, James ia still. a mere boy, hardly 18 years old Tie waa born at Longford, in Ireland, and removed with his parents to this country, He has lived chiefly at Wood. bridge, New Jersey, and has been only a short time in this city, His parents now reside here, in Twelfth etreet between Ninth and Tenth avenues. The appearance of the prisoner is simply that of a row- dyish bey who in drunkenness killed a citizen, althongi Jaw attaches to the fatal consequences of inebriation, when it results in murder, the full penalties of that crime There can be no doubt that it was the liquor that committed the act for which James is now to suffer, aad not any malice in the heart of the youth. In bis personnl appearance there ia nothing @lse remark: able, except this look of quiet ineffensiveness, verging on to the stupidity which often accompanies youth coupled ith undevelopement and ignorance. He has the mediim height for bis age, a complexion, brown hair and a mild blue eye. Tie sisters insisted that it was simply im poreible that he should ever have killed a man, because, as they said, he is so“ timid hearte.”” They say he has always been a kind son and brother, and that their fathor and mother had only him to depend’ upon, with the little that they can do to help them, But with that per mt affection and disregard of all considerations adverse to the b theory #0 characteristic of the lower clase of Trish, they affirmed unhesitatingly that there we no ev dence whatever against their brother, that it wae all the fault of the jury, and’ other things equally absurd, provided only they were i} culated for the moment to screen the object of of theit affection, The youth himself seems overcome with sadness and depression. It was almost impossible tr arouse him long enough from his ead thoughts to get from hiro any connected etatemeat whatever, He did not at MORNING EDITION—FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 20, 1857. tempt to deny, a4 the sisters did, that he was drank on that fatal night; Be perwists in saying that he bas no re- collection whatever ofthe kilt, ‘that he does not be- Neve he did it.

A meeting of a portion of the unemployed workingmen was held aceording to appointment in Tompkins square: yewterday morning. There were only from five to six hundred peesent altogether, @ still larger number having, we understood, a 1 assemble in the Centeal Park. Te appears that a division has place among them, and to this is attributable their meeting in different places, as well as the #eparate organizations. ‘Those who met yesterday morning in Washington square have re- pudiated all connection with the Fourierites, free lovers, rowdies and political adventurers, and, we believe, tho other division have wisely resolved also on ignoring. them. To this, perhaps, is owing the absence of that threatening language which formed the principal staple in the speeches of the orators who addressed the working men, and who vainly endeavored to bring them into conflict with the authorities. The meeting in the square was peaceable and orderly, and was merely preliminary to that which was held at 1b o'clock in front of the City Hall. It was called to o#der by the chairman of the committee, D.

After a brief address from Mr. Wirresmers, who advised the workingmen to apply to the rich for the means of subsistence to pul up men of their own kind for office, the meeting adjourned to reassemble in the Park. Not more than thirty or forty accompanied the chairman, who bore the banner at the bead of the compa by until they reached the City Hail, where another meeting was organized. There were about tive hundred present at this, and they consisted partly of aen who bad aseembled in the Park in anticipation of the meeting, and purtly of persons who were attracted more by curiosity (hon anything else, After the meeting to order, Mr. Gorden proceeded to say tha actual desti tution of the working classes which had caused them to make these public demonstrations, and it was wi grief be was obliged to declare, that pplied for work, but fo ve, Ub) ould get neither the one nor the other.
