The Military and Police Movements, Tne inadequate military force in this city to suppress & disturbance of repel invasion, caused by the departure of the militia, was the principal difficulty with which Doth the federal and State officers bad to contend. In the meantime the great throng, whose destructive work mace prompt measures essential to restore peace and order, were rapidly increasing. In every ward, up aud down town, tributary forces were sent to the crowd, till, fo the middle of the day, a mere civic body would find it almost impossible to subdue it, Governor Seymour, determined to have the crowd dis- perred, co-operated with Generals Wool, Brown and Sand- ford for that purpose, apd ail the available troops were at once ordered to report to the commandant of the De- Conflagration of the Weehawken | pertinent of the cast.

SCENES ON FIFTH AND SIXTH AVENUES, Tho upper part of Fifth and Sixth avenues were yoa- terday the scene of great excitement, from about ton o’clock in the morning until after three in the afternoon. Several bodies of men assembled at diferent spots above the junction of Broadway and Sixth avenue, and, march- ing along in a disorderly manner, moved up town until they formed one mass. They seemed to be without any definite leader, a8 obe man was to be ween calling thom to go one way and another to take an opposite irestion. Every proprietor of a liquor store in the vicin compelled to open bis establishment aud supply them freely with Nquor, under pain of having bis piace torn down over bis head, Tho fate that attended Ailerton’s Hotel donbtiess induced the proprietors of the }ijuor stores to grant their requests, and each drop of liquor the men partook only increased their frenzy. PRESSING STRANGERS INTO SERVICE The men then began patrolling Jo'squads along the Sixth avenue, and every male person who passe! on thy side walk was forcibly pressed into their service. ‘everal pespectable men on their way down town were th .* com pélied to Join the ranks; and the men, waving and shaking their clubs over their victims, forced them along if they id not go willingly, sometimes ‘admonishing. them by a fac from pleasant stroke on the side of the head, that it ‘waa useless for them to resist, Many peaceably dirpored persone were thus mixed up with tho others, and many who went with the crowd Wor fear of exciting their anger, managed to slip away before the main body had decided op any definite movement. A DECIDED MOVEMENT AT LAPT. At about two o'clock in the afternoon the now united ‘podies of men who had gathered together at the corner of Forty-sixth street and Sixth avenue, and had armed themselves, some with revolvers and old muskets, others with clabs, stoner, staves and similar weapons, began ‘0 — decide on « uniform movement. They appeared to hare | made up tbhetr minds to attack a large massion at the cor ner of Forty-eeventh street and Fifth avenue, and had | jeft the Siath avenue by Forty seventh street for that porpose, Fora sbort time the Sixth avenue war very | and were proparing for their fina! work.

He was then removed to his residence by two of his com- pantons, who had returned more peaceably in clined after the police had Jeft the avenue, Others returned to where the men who had been man stabbed was lying, and, after making up an impro- vised stretcher, he was laid upon itand takungg bis rea)- dence.

The blow om the head had fractured his skull—enough to cause death— while the bayonet wound had produeed internal hemor- rhage, which speedily filled the lungs and stomach. His face was also severely out by his fail, and his appearance was sickening. A priest was at once sent for, and the last offices of religion were administered to the dying mea, ‘THE TROOPS RETURN DOWN TOWN. Having diepersed tho crowd, the troops returned down town by way of the Fifth avenue. Some few of the men followed the soldiers a short digtance, hooting and yelling; Dut on @ motion being made to “al and fire,” the men skedaddied pretty rapidly. They then congregated 1o small bodies on the various oprpers of the streets, in the neighborhood of liquor stores, dnd for the time seemed to be peaceably inclined. THE AFFAIR AT BROOME AND PITT STREETS, About ten o’clock yesterday morning a large crowd as- sembled in the neighborhood of Brooyte and Pitt streets, with the intention of attacking a largo factory that had refused to close their works at the command of the crowd. Lieutenant Wood, at the head of @ body of troops, was ordered to the spot, and gave the command to his soldiers to fire over the heads of the men assembled on the streets, ‘This, however, did not effect anything more than to pro duce some amount of derision and irritation on the part of the crowd, and a serious attempt at resistance was made against the advancing soldiery. An order was then given to “CNARGE Bayongts!’” and In a short time the mon began flying before the ox. posed steel points. The array was glittoringly cold and fearfal to contemplate, and as it is often a realized fact ‘bat veteran troops cannot stand the bayonet, so it is « fact that a Body of undisciplined men are not more able to resist such an onslaught, Ina couple of minutes the ‘blogk was cleared, but during the charge five or six of the ma were killed wevera) wounded. ANOTHER CROWD FIRED UPON. ‘Tho retreating crowd were driven ypon another crowd at the corner of Pitt street, and. an attempt and demoa- stration were mado to drive the soldiers back. Failing in this, they stood at a safe distance and threatened them with clubs, stones, &c. An order was given by Lieat. Wood to'fire blank; but this rather eoraged the crowd than otherwise, and they made a dash upon the soldiers in- Lending to get up to them before they could reload, The soldiers, however, had reloaded, and were ready to fire ball, when the order was given. The order was soon given, and some of the men fell to rise no more, The crowd speedily dispersed, while the fricods of the killed and wounded removed their bodies. ANOTURR FIGHT. ‘While Lieut. Woods’ party was leeving the scene of Ddlooasbed, it was met by another force in Delancey street, and an engagement ensued, during which several of the crowd were severely injured,and the others made their way out of reach of both muskets and bayonets. SCENES IN 1ry-secono STREET, About eleven o'clock yesterday forenoon, Captain Wil. fon, of the Thirty-second precinct, received information Ubat a serious disturbance, combined with extensive de- moilition of property, was going on in Second avenue, corner of Twenty.eeoond street, aud lost no time in bastening to the place, He took-with him upwards of two hundred men, and op bearing the ity above inentioned ordered bis men ata ‘double quick.’ There could not have been jess than three thousand persons present, including the spectators at @ distance. Gar reporter, who witocased the whole scone, says hat when the police rounded the corner of Twenty-second atroet a large body of them dashed into @ five story Duilding, where, it is stated, two hundred stand of arms were stacked. A large portion of them remainded out- side, and ap the suspected people fled from the interior of the building they were severely clubbed and felled to the ground , amid the cries and yelle of bupdrede, Heads were opened and soores lay for some time bieed- ing, an awful mpectacie to look at, but, gathering them selves up a8 best they could, they borried away from the scene of carnage, and ina sbort time the whole locality wan cleared of all the crowd except the residents in the immed iate neighborheod. The work of demolition committed duriug the morning was of @ very destructive character, and the neighbor. bood presented « fearful spectacie. The police stationed outside guarded the premises until the building was thoroughly ransacked by the police inside, from top to bottom; and they brought out wiih them two bondred stand of arms, which they effectually pecured and deposited safely at Leadquarters. No ammo bition was found, however. Captain Wilson and bis men then returned w their quarters, by way of Third avenue and the Bowery. | Om arriving at the armory of the Seventh regiment, | Tompking’ market, which was filled with troops, ready | for any emergency at a moment's notice, he and his mee | were cheered, i ‘ I f FIGHT IN SECOND AVENUE, At two o'clock P.M. & force of three hundred police different streets, fome ef them were inaide the works — and endeavored to evade the Dut they were too ' inte, the police having surroun: ‘Works.

Karly yesterday morning the crowd had assembled nm masse on Fifth avenue, opposite the residence of Mayor Up- dyke, and commenced a violent assault upon his house, and succeeded in forcing the front door, and fin breaking the ccatly plate glass in the second and third story windows. One of the lamps on the front stoop was entirely de- molished. The disturbance bere was mainly condueted by boys between the ages of eighteon and twenty years. Colonel B. F. Manierre, sesing that things were likely to take @ serious shape, organized a few friends into a platoon, and with clubs and revolvers succeeded for ® time in bolding the crowd in check, Theya were fivalty relieved by a strong detachment of police, who held the position unmolested wntil they im turn were relieved by a detachment of United States soldiers from Governor's Island, under command of Captain Wilkias, ‘Thi detachment numbered eighty-four men and four ser- geants, and pow hold tho place without opposition, It will be necessary to keep @ strong detachment of police or military around the house of Mayor Opdyke, as it i, if possible, the sincere intention of the crowd to gut and burn the building. Before we leit this scene of action @ man, named Peter Dolan, was arrested and taken into custody by the police, on the charge of being ono of the ringleaders in the as- sault upon Mayor Opdyke’s house, About eleven o’clock the more juvenile portion of the crowd cftered the house; but an soon as the work of plunder began, about a score of gentlemen living in the neighbor. hood assembled, and arming themselves with whatever weapon they could inthe shape of good tout sticks, en- tered and expelled the crowd. In the mean timethe crowd was increasing, and loudly expressed their determination to sack and burn the house, The Might of steps leading to | the house was crowded with its gailant defenders, who | appeared from tbeir determined looks to have been fully able to have shown @ good fight. At this moment a body of about one hundred and fifty policemen and volunteer citizens appeared upon the scone, charged the crowd, wounded several of them, and tho rest took to fight. House (No. 19 Lams: of its Farnitare, T bons, Greeley’s Cousin Place 'Emptied ted by Mr. Gib. | Arsenal wero quiet and drserted. A crowd attacked thin house, situated in Twenty ninth street and Fighth avenue, and completely gutted it of is contents, The work of spoliation was commenced about five o’olock P, M., and about six a company of regulars, accoinpanied by a equad of policemen, came on the ground and quickly dispersed the mob, bat left @ number of children asd women behind, who deliberately Guisbed onrrying away everything that bed (been left by the crowd, unmolested by the military or police.

The veo. goance of the crowd appeared to be satiated by the plun- Ger they obtained. Serious Distarbance and Bloodshed tn Ninth Av , between Nineteenth and Borty-first Streets. Previous to the attack on Allerton’s Hotel the crowd of persons were attacked by « detachment of Invalids, pome forty in number. The crowd @oon overcame them and wrested their muskets from them, with which they deat them over their beads, and some nine of the soldiers were carried away terribly mutilated. In some instances the women drew the bayonets fram their sockets and plunged them into the already wounded soldiers, [lood covered the pavements and street in many places when our reporter visited the scene at sfieu: five o'clock on Monday evening. BURNING OF ALLERTON'S HOTRL—BUETNESS AT THE CATTLE MARKRT SUSPENDED. The cattle market at Allerton's opened on Monday morn: ing with about throe thousand seven hundred head of beef cattle, which found ready marke at abouts quarter of a cent over last week's cloning Sguree, Put in se few short hours the riot in the Nineteenth ward, tn tho contre of which the market grounds are located, atracted the attention of the butchers and drovers, eo that by noon businens was nearly suspended.
