hire a hnmanixing and refining effect npon society f
but tho bloody scenes In New. York would lead as to
a rery different conclusion. It seems rather to change
men into brutes. ' - r ,
It is to bo hoped that tho City authorities of New
York will not be wanting in tho resolution and vi
gor necessary to quell this mob spirit. It is" a dis-
Sacs to the civilization of tho agv When men
igue themselves together, for tho purpose of setting
the laws at de Dance, tney anoaid bo treated as pub
lic enemies, and no scruple should bo felt about en
forcing obediouco at any price- Tho lives and pro
perty of innocent men should not be exposed to the
lawless caprice of a mob. Mob law ia the worst spe
cies of tyranny, and the oommoaity which submits
to it,' loses all pretensions to civilisation.
'About five years ago, similar scenes oeearred in
Philadelphia. Churches were burned, houses were
sacked, and many lives lost, before the arm of the
law was effectually interposed. These horrid scenes
are partly attributable to -the want of courage and
decision in tho Police, at the moment of their occur
rence; but remotely to the neglect und indifference
manifested by tho wealthy classes, and by the Reli-
ligions denominations, towards the ignorant and
thougntless multitude, splendid edifices are con
structed, not for all classes, without let or hindrance,
to worship in : not freely to dispense the Gospel, as
freely they have received it; but for the especial
benefit of those wbo are able or willing to contribute
their money towards tho object, and inexact propor
tion to the amounts paid in. The u uppermost
seats" are monopolised by those who claim the high
est rank and consequence in society, and if any are
left unappropriated, "the people," the poor, or the
thoughtless and indifferent, are invited to take them.
But the people of this country have ideas or inde
pendence which will not brook this assumption of
superiority. They prefer, too many of them, never
to go to Uborcb, rather taan appear tnere as inreri
orsr They have too little of the spirit of Christian
humility manifested by the woman of Samaria, who
with the dogs, was willing to eat the crumbs whicn
fell from the rich man's table Our free and fearless
democracy (we have no reference to parties) must
be treated as men and equals, before they can be in
duced to embrace even the Religion of the Saviour.
Hs went about preaching the Gospel to the poor,
rebuking the spiritual pride and bvpocrisy of the
Pharisees, one. of whose gravest offences was, thst
they "chose the uppermost seats in the synagogues."
Go into tho Chnrehesof bur largeCitieson the Sab
, bcborche, wbjci, ooBtfron, fift. toone hun-
dred thousand dollars, and as often as otherwise, the
pews are untenanted; while oa the streets may be
seen hordes of lounging boys snd men, swearing and
betting; and as many more may be found at the dram
shops or gaming table or it maybe, haa strolled
into the country or to the water-aide, for the purpo
ses of hunting and fishing. We have little doubt
that this lamentsble state of things is to a great de
gree attributable to the unchristian custom of selling
or renting, the Church pews, to the highest bidders.
It result of course from this system, that the com
fort and convenience of the seats occupied by t he res
pective families is in an exact ratio to their pecunia
ry means;, while the poor or the callous prefer nev
er to attend Church, rather than be regarded as an
inferior elaas, wbo owe their privilege to the cold
and supercilious charities of others. Fortouately,
this system of pew renting or selling, has not taken
root in our State, mainly, we suppose, because we
have no large Cities. We trust it never may. No
better scheme could be devised, for keeping the peo
ple from Church.
The custom of the Methodists forms an exception
to all that we have said on this subject, and we be
lieve the only one, among all the denominations.
Their eminent success is doubtless mainly attribu
table to this circumstance. Their Churches are
generally loss costly -than those of other denomina
tions, ia the Cities, though they are more numerous,
and are invariably filled to overflowing. Let their
example be followed in this particular, and much
will be done to soften and humanise the poor, and to
beget a feeling of Christara sympathy between all
classes. G.

The invitation extended to Mr. Macready by
nuinoer oi par most prominent cuizent, and
hia accepUnce thereof,, called forth a second ef
fort on tbe part of those; who created the riot on
Mondsynigbt. Earlv vesterdav morninir rWa-
cards were posted up through the city, stating that
me crew oi ine Dfium steamer had threatened
violence to sll who "dared exnresa their coin
ions at the English Aristocratic Ooera Houac."
and calling on all working men to atand br their
lawiui rignta." in consequence of this and sim
ilar threats, a large body of police wsa ordered
to atienu at me upera Mouse, and in case this
snouia not ne suincient to preserve order, the
Seventh Regiment, Col. Duryes, and two trooos
i u . .
of horse, (Cspts. Varna in and Patterson,) of the
Eighth Regiment, under command of Gen. Hall.
and the iiuzzrs attached to Gen. Morris's Brie-
sue, were neia in reaainess. i hej tunned in
two bodies, one of which was stationed in the
Park, and one at Centre market.
Io anticipation of a not, the rush for tickets
was very great, and before night, none were; to
be had. For some time before the doors were
opened, people began to collect in Astor Place,
and the Police took their stations at the donrs
snd in the buildings. The crowd increased with
every moment, and when we csrne upon the
ground, at half past eeven, the square snd street
from Broadway to the Bowery were nearly full.
There was such a tremendous rush about the
doors, in spite of a notice posted up stating that
the tickets were sll sold, that several of the en
trances were obliged to be closed. The Police
used every exertion to preserve order, and suc
ceeded in preventing all attempts to force an en
trance. Inside, tho house was tilled but not
crowded, and the amphitheatre was not more than
half full. The genera! appearance' of the au
dience was respectable snd it was hoped at first
that there would be no serious attempt at dis
turbance. We noticed, however, that the win
dows had been carefully boarded up and the doors
barricaded the object of which was afterwatds
made manifest.
The first two scenes passed over with a vocif
erous welcome to Mr. Clark as Malcolm. The
entrance of Mr. Marready. in the third act, was
the signal for a perfect storm of cheers, groans
snd hisses. The whole audience rose, and the
nine-tenths of it who were friendly to Alc ready
cheered, waving their hats and handkerchiefs
A large body in the parquette, with others in the
second tier snd amphitheatre, hissed and groaned
with equal zeal. The tumult lasted for ten tor
fifteen minutes, when an attempt was made! to
restore order, by a board being brought upon the
ftiage. upon which was written MThe frienda of
Order will remain quiet." This silenced all but
the rioters, who continued to drown all soand of
what was aaid upon the stage. 'Not a word of the
first act could be heard by any one in the bouse.
Tbe policemen present did little or nothing, evi
dently waiting orders. Finally, in the last scene
of the act, Mr. Matseil, chief of Police, made his
appearance, in the parquette, and followed by a
number of his aids, marched directly down the
aisle to the leader f the disturbance, whom he se
cured after a short but violent struggle. One by
one, the rioters were tsken and csrried out, the
greater part of the audience spplauding as they
disappeared.
- Before tbe second act was over, something of
the play could be heard, and in the pauses of the
shouts snd yells, the orders of the chief and his
men in different parts of the houte could bo heard,
as well as the wild uproar of the mob without
Mrs. Coleman Pope, as Lady Macbeth, first pro
cured a little silence, which ended, however, im
mediately on Mr. Micready's re-sppearancei
The obnoxious actor went through his part with
perfect self-possession, and paid ro regard lohe
tumultuous scene before him. As the parquette
and gallery were cleared of the noisiest rioters,
the crowds without grew more violent, and stones
were hurled against the windows on the Astor
place side. As one window cracked after anoth
er, and pieces of, bricks and paving-stones rattled
in on the terraces and lobbies, the confusion in
creased, till the Opera House resembled a for
tress besieged by an invsding army, rather than a
place meant for the peaceful amusement cf a civ
ilized community. Sometimes the heavy stones
would dash in the boards which had been nailed
up as protection, and a number of the policemen
were constantly occupied in nailing up and secu
ring the defences. '
The sttsck was sometimes oq one side and
sometimes on the other, but seemed to be most
violent ori Eighth street, where there wss a con
tinual volley of stones and other missiles. The
retiring rooms were closed, sod the lobbies so
M rsked ' by the mob outside, that the only safe
places were the boxes and parquette. A atone.
thrown through sn upper window, knocked' off
some of the ornaments of tbe splendid ensade
lier. : Tbe fourth and fifth acts were given in compar
ative quiet, so far as the audience were concern
ed, a large number of whom assembled in the
lobby, no egress from the building being possible.
At these words of Macbeth :
I will not be afraid of death and bane
'Till Birnara forest come to Duitaioame,"
An attempt was made to get up a tumult, but fail
ed. Tbe phrase.
"Our castle a strength
Will laugh a siege to scorn,1
waa also, loudly applauded. But in spite of the
constant crashing and thumping of stones, and the
terrible yells of tne'erowd in the street, the trag
edy too truly a tragedy to many was plsyed to
an end, snd the curtain fell. Macready was of
course called out and cheered, as was Mr. Clark.
Cheers were also given for the police, and for ma
ny other things which we did not bear in the gen
eral tumult.
Towards the close, a violent attack waa made
by the mob on one of tbe doors, which waa partly
forced. A body of policemen, armed with their
short clubs, sallied from it aod aecured a number
of the lesders, who were brought in and placed
in a large room under the parquette. with those
wbo hsd been previously arrested. These riot
ers, to the number cf thirty tr forty, battered
down the partition of tbe room with their feet,
and attempted to crawl out at the bottom by the
holes so made. A strong guard was therefore
placed to watch them, and no one, we believe.
succeeded io making hia escape. From the con
fusion occasioned by the continued attack ori the
bouse, we were unable to lesrn the namea of. any
of them. " x ,
After the play waa over, the noise being appa
rently diminished somewhat, the audience were
allowed ta 'go' out quietly by the door nearest
Brnadwsy." The" crowd was not dense in the,
middle of the street, a body of troops havingiust
naaaeti alone, but the sidewalks, fences and all
other availsble "positions were thronged, , and a
shower Of stones was kept up agsinst ine win
dows. As we reached Broadway, a company oi
the Greys came round from Eigh'h street, snd
took their position in front of the Opera House.
Two cordons of Police in Eiehth street, kept tbe
street vacant befoTe the building, but the shat
tered doors and windows showed how furious
had been the attack on that side. We leared
from those in the crowd that troooa of foot i and
one of horse hsd arrived about, hs If ao hoar prer
vioos and passed entirely around'Tlbe ? building
paniany dispersing tbe ; mob. They had been
assailed with stones, it waa stated, one of the
dragoons knocked from hia horse and another car
ried off with a broken leg .from tbe fall of hia
horse. ... ' ' . - ' ';'
Up to this time we did not learn that any pro-
1 . sat a a . af r
ciamauon nac oeen made to toe rioters. After
passing tbe Greys at tbe corner of Broadway, we
went into Eighth street, and were oa the retarn
in not more than three minutes afterward, when
a volley waa fired by the troops, the quick, scat
tering flashes throwing a sudden gleam over tbe
crowd beginning to disperse in front of them; It
was generally believed that they fired blank car
tridges, and a large number of persons, who were
mere luuacrs on, uiu iiui pay mucD Biiemiou io n
am. i w r-
we passed into jaiayette place, and there saw
ine oouies or two or three persons, dead or
wounded, .borne away.
i ne crowa seemea tasen oy surprise, as on
account of tbe incessant noises, verv few could
have beard tbe reading of the Ktot Act. Many
.. .. . -
assert that it was not read, but we have positive
testimony to the contrary. We were returning
and had nearly reached Astor-place again, when
a second volley was fired, followed almost with
out pause by three or four others. A part of the
crowd came rushing down Lafayette-place, but
there was no shout nor noise, except the deadly
report of the muskets. '
After this horrid sound had ceased, erroups of
people came along, bearing away the bodies of
the dead and dying. The excitement of the
crowd was terrible. We heard nothing but one
universal exprrssion of vengeance and abhorrence
What adds to this tragic occurrence is, that most
of those who were killed, were innocent of all
participation in the riot. An old man, who was
waiting for the cars io the Bowery, was instantly
8 hot dead. A little bov. eight years old. was
killed by a ball, at the corner of Lafayette-place,
and a woman sitting in her own room at the cor
ner of the Bowery, was shot in the side. Some
of the bodies were carried into Vauxhall, others
ntn Junes' Hotel, snd others to the City Hos
pital and the Ward Station House. In the former
place, we saw a dead man stretched on the table,
and another with a ball. in his hip, writhing in
great agony.
Uroups of people collected in the streets and in
front of Vauxhall, some of which were addressed
by speakers, calling them to revenge the death of
he slain. '1 he troops for a lime anticipated an
other attack, in consequence of this, but up to the
hour of going to press, all has been quiet.
FURTHER INTELLIGENCE.
From the Express.
Order, ouce mora reigns in Awtor Place. The mi-
it ary posted in the neighborhood last evening, were
io sufneieut numbers to keep the mobocrats at bay,
and not the least disposition to renew the disgraceful
demonstration of Thursday was attempted, albeit
tbe crowd aud excitement were about aa great as ev
er. No examinations have been had of any of the par
ties arrested, nor will they be hed until eulire tran
quility is restored. All are committed or held to bail
iu heavy amouuts, to appear for examination.
Early in the afternoon, the Mayor was informed
that Mr. James McCullough, on the corner of Freut
street and Maiden Lane, had been applied to during
tbe day by some parties, wno wished to borrow two
thousand muskets for two or three days, o tit-ring to
pay well for the use of them, and to give security for
their return. Capt. Wiley, of the Frst Ward, was
at once despatched to Mr. McC's with orders to re
move the muskets to the Arsenal, to be delivered a
gain to him when he should require them an order
which was promptly executed.

On motion of Dr. Henry J. Robards, the Chairman
and Secretary were added to the list of Delegates.
It was then moved by Jasper Hicks, Esq. that the
remaining Counties in the District be requested to
meet our Delegates in Hilleboro', on the 31st May,
then and there to nominate some suitable Whig
Candidate for Congress.
Dr. Henry C. lierndon moved that the proceed
ings of this meeting be published in the Raleigh
Register and all the Whig papers in this District
On motion, the meetnrgTheu adjourned.

Whig Candidate in the Caswell, N. C.
District. We regret to learn from the Milton
Chronicle that John Kerr, esq, has finally deter
mieed noi-to be a candidate in the Caswell, N. C.
District. Private but controlling reasons hsve
forced Mr. Kerr thus to resist the unanimous and
complimentary call of hia friends, who have but
little fear thst be could be easily elected u ne
would only consent to take the field. The Chron
icle intimates thst Mr. Cad. Jones of Orange (a
democrat) will also be a candidate, burely tbe
whigs are not going to permit Mr. vcnaoie to
walk over the track without opposition. Several
prominent gentlemen of the district have already
suggested tho propriety of placing Gov. Graham
io the field, who it is believed could be triumph
antly elected- Will not our Carolina friends
look to ibis matter in time J There is probably
no man in the District who could command a
larger vote than Gov. Graham, and certainly
none wbo would impart greater nooor iu ine of
fice. ' JJannlle Register.

his father with an axe, while he lay in a state of in

his mother. He haa been discharged from custody
