      DREADFUL RIOTS IN PHILADELPHIA . The folio-wing account of the origin of these lamentable disturbances is given by the correspondent of tho Morning Chronicle : — Alas , that I should so Boon haTB to record , another history of tumult , battle , misery , and death . IThe exasperated state of feeling produced by the

      xiota of May last , in tiite city , -when a amaU body of Iriifc Catholics fired on a public meeting of " Native -Americans , " -which ¦ was followed py bnraingof bonBes SBd churches , -was beginning to subside , gnd that tragical event "wsm becoming a by-gone matter of history , 'when a new soorce of civil commotion suddenly epmngnp . I will endeavour , as on the occasion alluded to , to condense aa impartial history of the causes , as well as of the earning scenes of bloodshed that occurred , hitherto unparalleled is the sanala of this country .

      Ever Knee the riots of May last the Catholics , 2 nd especially those of Irian birth , bare Felt some alarm , lest more ef their churches should be bcrnt down ; and in consequence of this apprehension , several of the churches -were g&arded by armed men—arms having leen introduced into most of them . Still , it is mow than probable that the excitement in the public mind baring subsided , there was no real danger of any attack upon the b « 3 dings . The church , which appeared U be the mast Bnpopolar among the inttaoUanta of it ! immediate ¦ vicinity , was ikat of St . Pamp iferi , in QnBes-jtreeL Sonthwark .

      The elcrafiaan of this church was the Bey . Phflij Dana , late of Ireland . He and his brother [ a-layman ; bad caused arms and men to be introduced into tht ehnrch , hxvinjj , as he stated , anoaymons letters , threat ening its destrncfion about the 5 di of July . The pos-BBBion -of these arms having become tnoira , the citd-Zsa aad-thair families , living sear , were alarmed , lest in some -coEHict their lives and property should be endangered . And here I emnot help remarking that this arming was imprudent , for it produced an excitement which otherwise -wculd not have existed . I do not think the church was in danger ; but I will now proceed chronologically .

      F&voxy Etesisg , Jclt « . —A multitude of people assembled in front of the church , and assumed a threatening aspect , some saying that the arms were "fen the purpose of murdering more Americana . " In reality , it is affirmed that they were merely for defence , and only in the event of great emergency . The Sheriff and a pease quieted the people for the night , by taking out some arms , whichj as they were told , were all that wew In ths building . SATCBDAl , JEI . Y . 6 . —BniJcg the -whole day , a smlfitnfls assembled and remained in front of the church . The story ol tb . B anonymous letters was not believed bj Ike people . They insisted that there were more anru in the church , and on the Sheriff searching rigorously , arms , armed men , and ammunition were found and taken away . This deepened the exasperation of the peopls , especially when it was stated that the arms wert obtained in part from the state arsenal , by Mr . Dunn *

      brother ( not a naturalised citfsen ) , who had procured an order for the purpose from the Governor . The sheriffs posse and the civil authorities net being deemed strong enough to guard the church ( which was otherwise protected by several " Native Americans" ) , s military force was despatched to the scene of danger , beaded by General C&dwallader . The populace pressed spon the military so fiercely , that the General ordered a six-pounder to be fired amongst them , when the Hon . C N&ylor , formerly a member o ! Congress , sprang in front of the gun , and by his remonstrances , prevented its being fired . Mr . JCaylor was taken into custody , and kept a prisoner during the right in the church , ihe General refusing bail for him without orders from the Commander-in-Gbief , General Peterson . AH was tumult and excitement : bat the military ank civil authorities held possession of the church , and all the avenues leading to it , until tie following aoming , and during that night co fnrther harm was done .

      -SXJSDiT , Jurr 7- — Daring Sunday morning , the crowd increased , and demanded the release of If aylor , Who tad , np to that time been imprisoned in the eaiurch . About ten o ' clock , a large body of full grown boys obtained a cannon from the wharf , and loading it to the muzzle , placed it in front of tfee door of the church , and while they "were getting ready to fire into the edifice , Admiral Hortz availed himself of a momentary opportunity to put a handful cf water into She touch-hole . Another set of boys got an eight pousd cannon , loaded it with spikes , and took it to the rear of the church , and levelling it at a circular window , fired it —but missed their mark by a few feet The gun was loaded with pieces of le ? d , spikes , stones , it , some of which rebounded , and flew several hundred yards back to the south . The party with the cannon again rallied and fired a second time , bat did noi produce Tnnch effect .

      At tvcimo o ' clock , the people got apfcee of scantlinx and battered the pannels ef the western front door ' of the church in , and just at this moment Charles Kaylor iras released from confinement , and left the church in company with Admiral Hortz . When he got into the street , he was hailed with applause , which w&b distinctly heard about one mile below the scene—so we are informed by a gentleman who rode np on horseback to ascertain what was the matter . Mr . Baylor entered bail to appear this morning , and he was cheered from the church cp to his residence , "where he made a speech to the multitude , and was hailed with long and loud applause . The multitude now demanded that the Hibernian Greens should come out of the chuscb , and then they wocld be satisfied—and orders were given that they should be released at one o ' clock .

      { From ihe . Philadelphia Times , July % . J Kolhisg -wonld now satisfy tne rioters , bat the marching of the TnymU Greens from the ground -Witt ) reversed arms . ^ Between two and three o'clock p-m ., this was done , the Greens being escorted by the Markle Bins Ca , a portion of -the mob following . At Second and German streets the Rifie Company left the GreenB . The latter turned into German-street , where encountering another mob , the latter attacked them with brickbats . The Greens fired retreating , for several squares , wounding three or four persons , some of the bullets entering dwelling-bouses , and one a Protestant church They then broke and run for their lives , tfce mob in pursuit Most of them arrived early at the Mayor ' s office where they were put in safety . One of thenprivate Bobert Gallagher—ran into a house at the north-west corner of Fifth and Small-street , and np stairs . The mob rushed in—be fired down stairs —one native was slightly injured—he was

      captured . His captors held the butt-end of the musket out of the window to show that they had secured it , A boy in the street , mistaking their intention , fired a pistol at the window , and wounded Bobert Lyons , a native , in the arm . In the meantime , Gallagher was -dragged down stairs , oeattn homily , mutilated , hauled through Small-street to Sixth-etiefet , and treated with savage inhumanity . The Meyamensing police released the dying man froa the mob , but were beaten off by the rioters afterwards , and the bleeding victim was at length borne off to the Southwark watch-house .

      St . Philip ' s Church was no * v left unprotected . Tae nob rushed into it like a torrent , and an awful scene of desecration and destruction commenced . Three leaders and a peace-posse of natives succeeded in saving much of the e&nrcb-fnndlnre , and until nine pan . riot xeigned supreme—ihe "whole division of the military which had been ordered ont at three p . m- being safely ( the greater portion ) locked up at the Girard Bark lit really seemed ) for protection . At six p . m . the rioters bad retired from the church , and it was in possession of a ctsimittee of about one hundred natives , who leaEy seemed anxious to preserve the bnilding , and who deprecated all these acts of violence as calculated to injure the cause sf true nativeism . "We feel bound to . do them justice ; for they seemed sincere in theii

      efforts to restore ordtr , and felt no doubt the full extent of tfee truth , that wicked spirits were perverting their C&use to the worst purposes , and making it a cloak for Ihe most nefarious designs . About eight pjn . a part of the first division arrived on the ground . General Cadwallader demanded and obtained p&ssesson of the Church- All was to quit . Multitudes of excited people arrived , tut no demonstration of violence . The Committee commenced retiring from the Chureh , two by ts-a At this moment Captain Hill , of the City Guards , poited on Queen above Second-street , got into a collision with some elderly perscc . Captain H . struck at the latter with his sword . Tee man got the - sword from Csptain It—a crowd gathered—Captain Hill wis knocked down—an

      attempt was made to stab him—one of his Soldiers rushed forward to tayonet the person about to murder Captain H . —some boys threw itonea at the military—confusion ensued—a riot—General Cadwallader rushed up excited—gave the word ( it is aid ) iojire . '—a murderous discharge of several volleys took place from the mnskets of the City Guards , and Cadwallader Greys , up and down Second-street , and < dows Queen-street , at any and every citizen on the ground , without previens warniog or discrimination 3 his was a terrible procedure . The streets were filled to &verflowicg with crowds of people , and the air was instantly filled with cries of human agony . Women and children were passing from house to house , and a Mrs . XiiiB , wife of Capt Lisle , of Front , below Queenstreet , wi » was leaving a house where eke had been

      visiting , was shot through the left arm . Many of the committee were also wounded , and one killed . About file others were Killed on ths spot , whose names we could not obtain , and a great number mortally wounded . The rioters immediately congregated at the Wharton market , organised , aod then armed themselves with snukets , obtained two pieces of ordnance , repaired to the scene ol bloodshed , and about nine p-m commenced a sanguin&r ; battle with the militarycannon and small arms being freely used on both sides . Ihe names of those wounded at the first fire on Queen-Street , are James l awson , ISj . Sansenberger , James Tally , of Lombard-street , Mr . Street , brother of the Bev . ilr . Street , Hx . Carter , WiUiam Xanniag . A man , "Who wu walking "with the Committee , had his lace shot tnttrely away . An old man was killed on the pavement in Queen , below Second-Etrett . A friend un-

      dertook to pick him up ; a soldier aimed at and shot him dead . A waterman , with E . W . on his arm , was also killed . Mr . lanning was shot at a Equara ' a distance from the scene of danger . The soldiers were bo exasperated , they pursued ibe crowd in all directions , firing and charging on the fugitives -with their bayonets . About nine o ' clock began the general engagement between the rioters and the military , with cannon and mnakeU . A continual firing was kept np in the vicinity of Queen and Second-streets , raking those two streets completely . The rieters planted one cannon at Queen-street wharf , and , pointing up that street , did immense mischief . They say the gun was managed by four sailors . One discharge , it is said , killed and wounded twenty soldiers . The battle raged

      furioaely f » r two hours ; between ten and eleven o'clock , p . m ., the contest was very severe . The number of killed and -wounded is immense , though it is impossible to ascertain the number . Tfce military have snffered terribly . Capt . R . K . Scott , « f the Cadwallader Grays , was shot in the spine , and it is feared , is in mortal danger . GoL Pleasanton , of the Artillery Regiment , was wonnded in the groin- some silver « feange in his pocket preserving his life . Capt . Murphy , of the National Artillery , is also , we learn , badly ¦ wounded . One or two of the dwellings adjacent to St . Philip's Church , have been converted into a military hospital . The killed and wounded of the rioters were carried off by their friends , though many were left dying in various places unrecognised . Amongst others wounded we clean the names of John Sinister , Lemuel

      Paynter , W . J . Barne , Henry Slack , and John Cook . About ten persons have been removed to the hospital , the majority of them not expected to live over a few hours . The contest was continued at intervals up to one a . m ., different detachments ef the military going to the aid of their associates until , at about midnight , the whole of the division was on the ground . The rioters proceeded to Merrick and Towne ' s Foundry , on the railroad , during the heat of the engagement , compelled the watchmen to give up the key of the establishment , and furnish them with all the grape shot in the place , acd all the iron scrapings , io ., with which they loaded tbeit foul 01 five pieces of ordnance and did great execution , Each military aid was fired at from the corners of the streets , or , pelted with stones , as he passed with orders from the commanding officer , < bc

      Two o'clock , Monday Mobkisg . —The scene of the late carnage is now almost in complete possession of the military . The rioters have generally been driven to a distance , where they are rallying round their guns , and preparing , it is said , something dreadful with which to begin the morning . Even at this hour there arc crowds of persons in the streets , and an immense number of rioters are pouring in from Kensington and other districts , with muskets and cannon , to sustain their fellows . All is in confusion . Families are weeping and mourning in great distress . Some houses are completely riddled with shot . The greatest alarm and excitement prevails , and Go 4 only knows what the morning may produce . We dread to think of it And this is the city of brotherly love !

      { From Ihe Ledger . ) About four o ' clock Colonel Jack rode up , and getting into the second story of the house above the church , addressed the crowd to the SEme effect as those who had preceded him , [ urging peace and order } . While he was speaking , however , stones were flying at the windows towards the third story . The active rioters were at this tune engaged in making a breach in the brick wall recently erected above the church , and it did not take long to make it large enough to admit one person at a time .

      When this was accomplished , the mob thronged in pell mell , and immediately bursting in a aide door , leading int » the basement room , dispersed themselves throughout the building . The protectors of the church still united their endeavours to persuade the people from any violence . In this they were aided by a great many persoas who flocked in for no other purpose . An Irishman was arrested in the church about this time , and taken to the Hall , for what reason we were unable to discover . After they had possession for about an hour a smoke was seen issuing from the cellar . A few persons went down and extinguished it in a short time . The throng then gradually left the building , and at lsst it was tafcea possession of by a committee ol twenty , -who guarded the doors and allowed no one to enter , bat all to go out that desired to go .

      A meeting was called about five o ' clock on the opposite side of the street , and Mr . Spencer was called to the chair . After a few remarks with regard to the object of the meeting , he introduced Mr . Perry . This gentleman made a brief speech , containing some excellent advice . He concluded wiih moving that the meeting adjourn , and thst each person . go to their homes , and leave the church in the chaTge , of those chosen to protect it , and to set a good example , he would be the first to go . A number followed him and the excitement Beemed to be gradually disappearing .

      The military appeared in great fores on the ground about seven o ' clock . They drove the crowd down Qaeen-street , and strove to disperse them in Second and Queen-streeU . It ia said that the warning given by the cficers was unheeded , and that Btones were thrown at them . The soldiery were then commanded to charge upon the crowd ; they did bo , but the crowd stood resolutely before their bayonets . ThB word was then given to fire , and immediately a volley was discharged down Queen-street In a few minutes it waa followed by a second .

      Half-pjst Eight O'CLOCK . —A large meeting of ! the crowd , armed with muakets , convened at the Wharton Market , and with two field pieces , ] wheels meffled , proceeded from thence np Frontstreet , with the avowed intention of attacking the , military . We then left the ground ; in a moment j after we heard the discbarge of a cannon . This was followed by the firing of small armB in irregular re- j ports , succeeded hj a regular volley . From tfaia moment j the air was shook at intervals by heavy discharges ac- ; companies ? by shouts . j It was now evident that the military and the crowd j had engaged in one of the most deadly of conflicts . ; Females were seen running distracted through the streets , wringing their hands and uttering the names ' of brother , husband , father , with the wildest gesticula- '

      tlon . i Half-pasi Ten o'clock . —The City Troop and i the German battalion , with two field pieces , have just j left the head-quarters for the scene of the disturbance . ; ' A soldier , who had been in the vicinity of Second and i Qaeen Etreete in a cab , was taken out , his gun a % iZ 3 d , i and he himself tossed aboat in the crowd , but not : injured . j Eleven o'clock , p . m . —The military and the mob ; are fighting with desperation on both sides . There is a continual diEcharge of cannon to be heard followed by ; the regular roll and rattle of the muskets of the . former . It is reported by an express from the scene ¦ of action , that six of the military have been killed in all . Among the number it is said , is Capt . Scott , of : the Cadwallader Grays . I

      Mr . Ellsha Justus , not of the military , we have just heard has been killed by a ball . B . e was a man about , thirty-five years of age , and worked , it is said , in Bald- i win's factory . Reports alone have to be depended upon ] for the particulars of this horrible business , as no ; person except the military and those engaged with them ; will dare venture near the place of battle . How many of these opposed to the military have been killed it is impossible to ascertain . Twelve O ' CLOCK . —The report is that the cavalry ! have just taken pessession of the cannon of the mob ,, which had been planted at-the corner of Second and . Queen Btreets , and are now patrolling the Btreets , having complete possession . They are occasionally assailed by ; random shots from behind houses , and from alleys , which of course do not do much damage . Several horsemen , who convey intelligence from the scene of action ! to head-quarters , have been fired at , and one or two have been peked by bricks as they pass up through the '

      streets . ( From ihe Philadelphia Chronide . ) \ At a quarter past eight o'clock , large groups of < people were standing at the different corners of Second and Christian streets , talking in the most ? xcited manner of the firing of the mili-ary upon the people , when several voices cried out " Native Ameri- j cans come to the meeting ; " Rescue Kative Ameri-, cans ; " and a large body of persons rushed down Second- j street towards the Wharton Market One man cried j out in a stentorian voice , " liberty or Death , by , G—d . " A great gathering was Boon assembled at the market , j but did not organise . They brought out four pieces of cannon , and raked Second-street . They were well armed with muskets , and supplied with ammunition . They are determined for fight

      Tvi-ELVE o ' clock , night—After the meeting at the market , the Natives rallied , and fcept up a continued fire with muskets and . field pi&ces , ap to eleven o ' clock ; the soldieri returned the fire with great spirit Some persons dodged from behind -walls , and fired at the cavalry and soldiers ; but as to the number of killed and wounded , it is impossible to ascertain , for it is sot only dangerous to walk the streets , &ut the officers refuse to furnish intelligence . The following account of the battle £ &d subsequent proceedings is from the correspondVnt of the Morning Chrcnicle : —

      Boon after dark , the populace having procyred two or more heavy guns , and having the wheels of h ^ e guncairiageBJQinSled , approached , under cover of tho darkness , and fired at the military cordons , their fire i *> eing retained with grape and musketry , Wfcile the assailants also fired musketB and rifies roucd corners of strata , and from a few houses . It is not 017 intention to es-

      cribe the horrors of a night battle in the streets , language is inadequate to convey an idea of the terrific scene . I will , therefore , content myself with stating that the fire of both cai . non and musketry continued until one or two o ' clock on Monday morning . The military held their ground nobly , repulsing their assailants at all points , and a sortie of cavalry , at a late hour , captured a cannon from the mob , in Wharton-market , although several of them were thrown from their horses by a rope tied across a street . But it wonld not be just , if I did not record the gallantry of the troops , who were merely citizaa volunteers for the first time under fire . In general they were fiim bb

      rocks , even with the dead and wounded falling round them . General Cadwallader bad ten shots passed through his coat , and yet received no personal iDJury . Colonel James Page , a favourite with everybody , commanded with firmness , when , several of his division -were stricken down ; and Captain Mallory , in the midst of a deidly fire , returned it instantly with his cannon when the artillerymen were killed or wounded . General HubbslI and Captain Fairlamb deserve honourable mention . All behaved with ceolcees and courage . But the morning dawned on a scene of misery , wounds , carnage , and death . Toe last accounts that are published , with deaths np to this time , give—killed on both sides . 15 ; wounded about SO .

      The streets in the neighbourhood were raked , with grspeshot , csnnister , musket balls and old iron . The shntterd , windows , fences , and walls of bouses were shattered ; and on the following morning pools and spots of blood marked here and there the deadly Bcene . M « nday , 8—The civil authorities of Southwark having expressed their confidence of being able to secure the church , it was given up to them . The governor of Pennsylvania , Mr . Porter , arrived , and troops from all quarters , some United States regulars having been sent for . Sib and 10 TH—Immense excitement , bub no riot The Rev . Dr . Dunn and Mb brother are Bald to have left the city .

      THT 7 HSDAT , 11—a great public meeting of citizens , in support of the law and the military , and adverse to mobs of all kindB . At this meeting Governor Porcer was deservedly thanked , and he stated his determination to support the law st all hazards . A kind of infernal machine was discovered on the railroad twooden ) bridge , Intended to burn down that structure , and thus t » prevent country troops from arriving in the city . This created much alarm . ? subscription was raised to support tho widows of the soldiers who had fallen , and 1200 dols . wera subscribed in fifteen minutes . Also a subscription to erect a monument to record to future times the fame and devotion of those soldiers who fell in support of the laws of their country . The soldiers now dead are three or four . The riots of May and the present month have proved deeply iDjurious both to the reputation and property of Philadelphia , though they were confined to a portion of Southwark only about a qnartcr of a mile square .

      Several Irish Catholic families have left the city . The popular sentiment is mneh prejudiced against them because some of them fired on the " Native American " meeting at Kensington in May last They are by some udjustly blamed as a body , as the origin of the riots , and I would therefore say to emigrants from Ireland C 3 ming to this country , that any port ia the United States would be more desirable to land at than Philadelphia . Philadelphia , Jtjlt 15 , 1844 . —Manyarrestshave been made in this city , not only of rioters , but of citiz-ns who have used violent language in the streets calculated to inflame the populace . Two editors have been arrested and bound over in heavy bail , for having written and published icflammatory or incendiary paragraphs . The city is full of military . United StateB' tioopa have been sent to guard the public property at the navy yard and United States' arsenal .

      LATEST FROM PHILADELPHIA . Thursday Night—11 o ' clock . All is quiet . There is much excitement among the people in consequence of the military . Kensington seems to have been fanned into a flame , and considerable alarm is felt for the peace of the District . Several Native American meetings were held tonight ; they were numerously attended , particularly the one in High-street Ward , held at Douglass ' s , in Sixth-street , below Arch . Two companies of sol " diers were present as spectators . Two persons were arrested to-night in front of Head-Quarters , Girard-bank , one by the civil authorities , the other by the military . Tho latter was soon after released . Warrants , 1 learn , have been issued for several prominent individuals . The Chronicle of yesterday says : —

      " The riots are over , as far as our knowledge extends . In the southern section , where the disturbances occurred , all is < aiet ; the people have resumed their business ; the authorities have no extra power ; the church remains unmolested . In short , everything is as it was previous to Friday last , in that neighbourhood , except the shattered property . In the neighbourhood of the Girard Bank—the Major General ' s head quarters—there were collections of persons all da . 7 and evening , but not equal to preceding days . The military continue on duty . They are stationed at various places unknown to any but themselves . In the evening the cavalry were withdrawn from the front of the bank , and only a few sentries are stationed there . At ten o ' clock , night , all was quiet—but few per-Eonsin the streets , and no riotous or turbulent language is used . We believe the troubles are entirely

      over . Aheest of Col . Watkocgh . —The following report of the arrest of Col . Watmough , in Philadelphia , will be read with interest : — Colonel John G . Watmough , formerly High Sheriff of the Connty of Philadelphia , and at present Surveyor of the Port of Philadelphia , was arrested ona warrant , charging him with language and conduct calculated to excite to riot , and obstruct the execution of the laws of the Commonwealth . The testimony against him was given by Lieut . Dougherty , of the Second Company of State Fencibles , who was on duty during the recent riot . He stated that on Monday afternoon he met the

      defendant in Walnut-Btreet , and that he there eaid " he wonld not hare pitied us if we had all been shot down—that the military shot them dewn in cold blood . " On the subsequent day , at the Custom-Hoose , speaking again in reference to the military , he said , " he would cut Colonel Pleasanton , " and thought he said " Gen . Cadwallader ; " and further , " that the people fought bravely , and with fifty suoh men he could have driven the military off tbe ground —that the rope was thrown across the street at or near the eDgine or hose house , to throw the horses , an d some were thrown down , and that those brave fellows were all ia good humour , laughing at tho time . "

      Upon cross-examination by the defendant's counsel , Charles J . Ingersoll , Esq ., the witness stated that he understood the defendant to say that he saw the rope thrown or put across the streets . Two witnesses were examined for the defendant who thought that the remarks were made in ajoke . In binding the defendant over , the Recorder remarked that the defence set np—to wit , that the language complained of waa used in mere joke , waa one of the worst features of the case . He said that

      all would acknowledge the high respectability of Colonel Watmough ' s character . All would acknowledge him to be a gallant soldier , a defender of his country ' s honour on the lines in 1812 . He had faithfully represented the people in Congress , and had been called by them to the High Sberiffalty of the city and county . In that capacity he had been called upon to preserve the public peace , and performed his duty faithfully . He now held a responsible office under the Government of the United States , and for him to do acts suoh as had been disclosed by the

      testimony , was certainly unexpected . The precise charge laid in the warrant had not been made out ; but the defendant had used language during times of intense excitement of an inflammatory character , in the presence of a subordinate officer of the law , calculated to deter him from the performance of his duty . To call this-a joke—to joke in the midst of treason and murder , was an aggravation of the offence . After some further remarks of a similar character , the Recorder held him to bail in 1 , 000 dollars , in his own recognizance , to keep the peace for three months . : . . .

      Tbe Colonel submitted to be bound over , but at the same time he disclaimed any intention to provoke a breach of the peace , or weaken tbe arm of Important Investigation . —The Court of Quarter Sessions have commenced thiB morning a fall ana thorough investigation into the causes and consequences of the late terrible riots in Southwark . The Aldermen , Constable , and Commissioners of tae distriot have been snbptenaed , and » number 01 them "were examined in the course of the morning The Court are determined to leave nothing undone to ferret out the guilty , and to Mcertam the true state of affairs at present existing in Sostb-vwrK . Every effort will be made to find out whether there are ooncealed aiiy cannon , or other fire-arnWi or ammunition , intended to be used by the insurgents . .

      ... Cooke , thb Rioter , —Daring the outbreak in Southwark , the most conspicuous and daring among the insurgents was an oysterman named Ceoke , who , for years , had been one of tbe leaders in the various riots . On Sunday morning last , Cookej as

      sisted by some well-grown boys and young men , repaired to Konaldson ' s Marino Railway , and seized upon a pair of timber wheels . They then obtained an iron cannon on one of tne wharfs , which they lashed to tho wheels . A piece of scantling was lattached j with which to direct the piece , instead of the ¦ handspikes . As soon aa the piece was made ready . aiope was attached , and it was then drawn ihrougb . the streets to the rear of the church h Queen-street , and was fired into the building . In the evening another piece was takfen from the wharf and stationed : at Front and Qjieea-streets .

      Cooke was the moviug spirit in tending and firing this paece . Being a ship ' s gun , and stationed on the slope of the street , the balls fired from it fortunately passed over the heads of the military , and their traces can still be Been in all directions about tbe eavca oi the houses . Many lives were thus saved . Stratagems were also resorted to—Cooke had a piece of board , whioh be placed on the top of the cannon , and on it he ; poured soms powder , and laid himself On the ground behind the gun and touched it off . The flish conveyed to the military the impression that the piece had burnt prime . They fired instantly , when he sprang to his feet and fired while their men w re loading . This ruse waa repeated several times , but the Lieutenant in charge of the gun of the military soon discovered it , and when the flash took place , carefully sighted his six pouudor , and when Cooke rose to fire his piece , the gun at Seoond-street was discharged with such precision as to take bis life .

      MORMON TROUBLES . DEATH OF IHE PROPHET JOE SMITH . We announced in our paper a week or two ago , the threatening state of things at Nauvoo and its neighbourhood . The destruction of the obnoxious Nauvoo Expositor newspaper by Smith and bia followers appears to have excited tho most deadly animosity in the breasts of his opponents , expressed by their resolution to wage a war of extermination against the Mormons . Anxious to prevent the threatened collision and its lamentable consequences , the authorities of the state appear to have

      determined upon preventing suoh a catastrophe , if possible . To allay tho excitement , they therefore demanded of tho Mormons that they should gire up their arms , and that their Prophet should submit himself to the custody of the civil power , to answer any charges tb . it his accusers might prefer against him . This the Mormonites assented to , and Smith and his brother Hiram were conveyed to Carthage , and lodged in the gaol ; the Governor of the state pledging his honour for their protection from all violence . The result our readers will learn from the following extracts from the American papers : —

      Masacke of ihe Mormon Phophet and his Brother : — Fate of Moumonism . —According to the latest , accounts from the west , and those most to be relied on , Joe Smith and his brother were actually massacred in the midst of a civilised community . The first accounts from that quarter came from quarters hostile to the Mormons , and hence a representation was made that aa attempt was made by Joe to escape , and that in this attempt he was destroyed . But it appears from other and subsequent accounts , that a mob , disguised in all possible ways , entered the prison , and actually massacred , in cold blood , the Mormon chiefs . Such a brutal , bloody , and dark tragedy never before took place in any civilised oountry . Instead of sealing the fate of

      Mormonism , we are now inclined to believe that this revolting transaction may give only additional and greatly increased strength to that eecf . Joe and his brother will be regarded as martyrs to their faith ; and but little knowledge of human nature and the history of the past is neoessary to inform us of the fact , that violence , oppression , and bloodshed strengthen instead of subduing fanaticism . The bitterness with which tho war against the Mormons has been waged , appears to us , at this distance , altogether unaccountable . There must be something not yet revealed behind the curtain , and we await , with great anxiety , further intelligence from the scene of these melancholy and revolting transactions for more inBight than we have yet obtained into their origin . —New York Herald .

      From the Mormons . —All seems quiet and peaceful among these people . An extra from their organ indulges in many lamentations for the death of the Prophet and his brother , and narrates how the deed was accomplished . The murder was committed about six o ' clock in the evening , by an armed mob , of 150 to 200 men , painted red , black , and yellow ; who surrounded the jail , foroed it , and poured a shower of bullets into the room where the men were confided . Each of the victimk received four balls in his body , and John Taylor , editor of the Nauvoo Neighbor , was shot in four places , but not seriously injured .

      About three 0 clock the next day , the bodies of " the noblp martyrs" were received at Nauvoo . They were met , the paper says , "by a great assemblage of people , oast of the Temple , on Mulholland-sfcreet , under the direoticu of the city marshal followed by Samuel H . Smith , brother of the deceased , Dr . Richards and Mr . Hamilton , of Cartharge . The procession that followed in Nauvoo , was the City Council , the Lieutenant and General ' s Staff , the Major General and Staff , the Brigadier and Staff , commanders and officers of the Legion , and citizens generally , numbering several thousands , amid the most solemn lamentations and wailing that ever ascended 'into the ears of tbe Lord of Hosts , to be avenged of their enemies !

      When , the procession arrived , the bodies were both taken into the " Nauvoo Mansion . " The scene at the Mansion cannot be described ; tbe audience was addressed by Dr . Richards , Judge Phelps , and Messrs . Wood and Reed , of Iowa , and Col . Markham . It was a vast assemblage of some eight or ten thousand persons , and with one united voice resolved to trust to the law for a remedy of such high-handed assassination , and when that failed , to call upon God to avenge them of their wrongs . At a meeting of the City Counoil , held at the Council room , in the city of Nauroo , on the first day of July , 1844 , having received instructions from Governor Ford , through the agency of A . Jones , E ^ q ., and Colonel Fellows , it was unanimously

      Resolved , For the purpose of ensuring peace and promoting the welfare of the county of Hancock , and surrounding country , that we will rigidly sustain the laws , and the Governor of the State , so long as they and he sustains us in all our constitutional rights . Resolved , That to carry tho foregoing resolution into complete effect , that inasmuoh as the Governor has taken from us the public arms , that we solicit of him to do the same with all tbe rest of the public arms of the State .

      Resolved , To further eeoure the peace , friendship and happiness of the people , and the excitement that now existSi we will reprobate private revenge on the assassinators of Gen . Joseph Smith , and Gen . Hiram Smith , by any of the Latter Day Saints . —That , instead of an " appeal to arms , " we appeal to the majesty of the law , and will be content with whatever jud gment it aball award ; and should the Jaw fail , we leave the matter with God . Resolved unanimously , That this City Council pledge themselves for the city of Nauvoo , that no aggression by the citizens of said city shall be made on the citizens of the surrounding country ; but we invite them , as friends , and neighbours , to use the

      Saviour ' s golden rule , and " do unto others as they would have others do unto them , " and we will do likewise . Resolved , lastly . That we highly approve of the present public pacific course of tho Governor to allay excitement and restore peace among the citizens of the country ; and while he does bo , and will ubo his influence to stop all vexatious proceedings in law , until coufidenco is restored , so that the citizens of Nauvoo can go to Carthage , or any other place , for trial , without exposing themselves to the violence of assassins , we will uphold him and the law by all honourable means . ; Geo . W . Harris , Pres'fc . pro tem . William Richards , Recorder .

      GOVERNOR FORD S ACCOUNT . To the People of Illinois . I desire to make a brief but true statement of the recent disgraceful affair at Carthage , in regard to the Smiths , so far as circumstances havo came to my knowledge . The Smiths , Joseph and Hiram , have been assassinated in jail , by whom it is not known , but will be ascertained . I pledged myself for their safety , and upon the assurance of that pledge they surrendered as prisoners . The Mormons surrendered the public arms in their

      possession , and the Nauvoo legion submitted to the command of Captain Singleton , of Brown county , who was deputed for that purpose by me . All these things were required to satisfy the old citizenB of Hancock , that the Mormons were peaceably disposed i and to allay jealousy and excitement in their minds . It appears , however , that the compliance of the Mormons with every requisition made upon them j failed of that purpose . The pledge of security to tbe Smiths was not given upon my individual responsibility . Before I gave it , I obtained a pledge of honour by a unanimous vote from the officers and men under my command to sustain me

      in performing it . If the assassination of tho Smiths wore committed by any of these , they have added treaobery to murder , and have done all they could to disgrace the state and sully the public honour . On ihe morning of j the day the deed was committed , we had proposed to march the army under my command to Nauvoo . I , however , discovered the evening before , that nothing but utter destruction of the city would satisfy a portion of the troops ; and that if we marched into the city , pretexts would not be wanting for commencing hostilities . The Mormons had done every thing required , or which ought to have been required of them . Offensive operations on our part would havo been impolitic , in tho present critical season of the year , the harvest

      and the crops . For these reasons I decided , in a COUDCil of offioers , to disband the army , except three companies , two of which were retained as a guard for the gaol . ( With the other oompany T marched into Nauvoo , to address the inhabitants there , and tell them what they might expect in case they designedly or imprudently provoked a war . I performed this duty , as I think , plainly and emphatically , and then set i out to return to Carthago . Whon I had marched -about three miles , a messenger informed me of the occurrence at Carthago . I hastened to that place . The guard , it is said , iid their duty , but they v ? ere overpowered . Many of the inhabitants of Carthage had fled with their families . Others were preparing to go . I apprehended danger to tho settlements from the sudden fury and passion of tbe Mormons , and sanctioned their movements in this respect .

      General DemiDg volunteered to remain with a few troops , to observe the progress of events , to defend property against small numbers , and with orders to retreat if menaced by a superior force . I decided to proceed immediately to Quincy , to prepare a force sufficient to suppress disorders , in case it should ensue from the foregoing transactions or from any other cause . I have hopes that tho Mormons will make no further difficulties . In this I may be mistaken . The other party may not be satisfied . They may recommence aggression . . I am determined to preserve the peace against all breakers of the saino , at all hazards . I think present ciroumstances warrant the precaution of having a competent force at my disposal , in readiness to march at a moment ' s warning . My position at Qiunoy will enable me to get the ! earliest intelligence , and to communicate orders with great celerity .

      I have decided to issue the following general orders : — \ Head Quarters , Quinoy , June 29 , 1844 . It is ordered that the commandants of regiments in tbe counties of Adams , Marquette , Pike , Brown , Sohuyler , Morgan , Scott , Cass , Fulton and M'Donnough , and the regiments comprising General Stapp ' s Brigade , will ' call their respective regiments and battalion ^; together ' immediately upon the receipt of this order , and proceed by voluntary enlistment to enrol as many men as can be armud . in their respective regiments . ; They will make arrangements for a campign of twelve days , and provide themselves with arms , ammunition , and provisions accordingly , and hold ' hemselves in readiness immediately to march upon the receipt of further orders .

      The independent companies of Riflemen , Infantry , Cavalry , and Artillery , in the above-named counties , and in the counties of Sangamon , will hold themselves in readiness in like manner . j Thomas Ford , Governor and Commander in-Chief . Mohmow Meeting . —The Cleveland Herald says : — w Mormon preaching topk place in the grove yesterday , and the meetings were conducted with decorum . No allusion waa made by the speakers on Saturday or Sunday to the murder of ihe two Smiths , and in conversation they manifest but little excitement , and do not anticipate any interruption of the

      progress of Mormonism . One of them remarked that the 'country would be ! in a wretched condition if there was but one prophet in the land ; ' and we understand that Sidney Rfcdon is next in the prophetic Succession . In the grove , towards evening an Englishman who had been converted to Mormonism , and induced to emigrate from England to Nanvoo , gave an exposition of the wretched condition of many of the emigrants to the Holy City , and of the tyranny exercised by tbe rulers ! He drew anything but a flattering picture of the condition and prospects of the deluded men and women who bavo embraced tbe Mormon faith , and spoke with apparent knowledge and oandour . " \

      The Mormon War . —All accounts from Nauvoo agree in representing th < 3 Mormons as peaceably disposed , relying upon Governor Ford to suppress all further aggressions upon them . The inhabitants of Warsaw , Carthage , andlthe neighbourhood , many of them , seem not to be satisfied with the murder of Joe and Hiram Smith , but threaten to exterminate the whole community . It is to be hoped that they will be restrained from further bloodshed . Nothing is now to be apprehended unless tho mob should commence the work of assassination again , in which event we do not ! doubt that Governor Ford will promptly discharge his duty . He enjoys the confidence of all parties Captain Anderson , of the

      Osprey , states that he stopped his boat at Warsaw , whilst Mr . Jones , the State Commissioner , addressed the citizens of that placo . He appealed to them to aid the Governor in his efforts to preserve the public peace , but no approving ! response was made . "On the contrary , one gentleman stepped from the crowd and stated that a committee of citizens were in communication with the Governor on the subject , and that their determination was that either the Mormons must be compelled ! to quit the oountry or they would . " We trust that Governor Ford will act deoiseivly with the turbulent spirits at Warsaw . Their conduct , if correotley represented , is a disgrace to their town and to the State . —New York Sun .

      The Prophet and the Hoi , y City . "—The following sketch is from the New York Sun . How far its statements may be correct we have no means of knowing . Joe Smith , according to his own statement , was bora ia the town of Sharon , Yormont , on the 23 rd of December , 1805 , so that at the time of his death , he must have nearly entered his fortieth year . His parents , whelp he was ten years of age , emigrated to Palmyra -in this State , where he resided until he was twenty-one years old . In a recent letter to O . Cowdry , who intended to write the life of the Prophet , Joe , as ho was familiarly called , says : — " During this time , as is common , to most , or all youths , I fell into many vices and follies ; but as my acousers are ; and have been forward to

      accuse me of being guilty of gross and outrageous violation of the peace and good order of the community , I take the occasion to remark , that though , as I have 6 aid above , ' as is common to most , or all youths , I fell into many vices and follies , ' I have not , neither can it be sustained , in truth , been guilty of wronging or injuring any man or society of men ; and these imperfections to which I allude , and for which 1 have often had occasion to lament , were a light , and too often , vain mind , exhibiting a foolish and trifling conversation . This being all , and the worst , that my accusers can substantiate against my moral character , I wish to add that it is not without a deep feeling of regret that I am thus called upon to answer to my own conscience , to fulfil a duty I owe to myself , as well as to the course of truth , in making this public confession of my former uncircumspect walk , and trifling conversation : and more particularly , as I often acted in

      violation of these holy precepts which I knew came from God . " Joe Smith being the eon of poor pareuts . and being of quick natural powers and sagacity but of limited education , must I have been thrown upon his own resources for means of existence at an early period—for . we find him pretending to have discovered the Book of Mormon m Ontario County , in 1827 . General Bennett , an influential Mormon , published a work in 1842 , in which he exposed the iniquities of Joe Smith in connection with Mormonism , and making every allowance for personal enmity , the narrative bears upon it ^ face , the marks of . authenticity . From an affidavit of ^ eter Ingersoll in 1833 , we learn that he lived in the neighbourhood of Joe Smith , sen ., from 2822 to 1830 , and represents , that the general employment of the family was digging for money . ; Joe had found a miraculous stone , which he averred by looking into , he could disoover hidden treasures . William Stafford one of their neighbours states under oath : —

      " When they found thkt the people of this vicinity would no longer put any faith in their schemes for digging money , they then pretended to find a Gold Bible , of which , they said , the Book of Mormon was only an introduction . This latter book was at length fitted for the press . No means were taken by any individual to suppress its publication : no one apprehended any ; danger from a book , originating with individuals who had neither influence , honesty or honour . The two , Joseph and Hiram , promised to enow me the plates , after the book of Mormon was translated . ! But afterwards they pretended io have received ! an express commandment , forbidding them to show the prates . Respecting the manner of receiving and translating tbe Book of Mormon , their statements were always discordant . The elder Joseph would say that he had seen the plates , and that he J knew them to be gold ; at other times he would say that they looked like gold ; and other times he would say he had not seen the plates at all / ' ;

      *• " y ^ ' ^^ zz */ c ^ K With such a character and such a family and suoh pursuits , Joe Smith began his great scheme of trickery and delusion in Mormonism . The book itself is a mass of absurdities , written in imitation of the style of the Bible , in which Joe was proclaimed a prophet and priest of the Most High ; and thus he drew around him a vast body of uneducated enthusiasts , who journeyed west to commence their operations on a great scale . The history of Mormonism since its establishment in the Western States , the building of the city of Nauvoo , the incroaso of the deluded followers of Joe Smith , his conflicts with the authorities of the States of Missouri and Illinois , —his indomitable spirit'of intrigue and mischief , his loose morals , violence and chicanery , are ail known to the people of this country , and have been the subject ; of newspaper

      discussion for the last seven years . Most of the paor Mormons who have followed Joe Smith were weak in mind , and destitute of education . He bound them by oaths and ceremonies , and when their faith waa unshaken in his being the prophet and anointed of the Lord , and his influence unbounded and undoubted , he gate loose to the operation of his vile principles , seduced his female followers , and robbed them of their property , and it ia supposed oau = ed to be seorotly murdered , those who had sagacity to penetrate his designs . It is very evident that Joe Saith contemplated , whenever he had snfficienfc force , to conquer several of the Western States , and erect there a Mormon empire . There was a rank aoibition undorthe cover of pretended piety , and he or ^ an zad his Nauvoo legion amounting to several thousand men , with this object . He was a sourc © of constant inquietude to the State of Missouri , and was continually uuder arrest for some crime or

      otner . The immediate cause of Joe Smith ' s recent difficulties was the destruction of a press in Nauvoo , to which he was opposed , and he fouGd like Charles the 10 th , thai putting down tho liberty of the press wa 3 the greatest calami iy which could have befallen him ; and he was compelled to take refuge for safety in tho gaol , guarded by a body of troops whioh had been placed there by the Governor of Illionis to protect him ; but a baud of men , broke into the prison and murdered him and his brother : no doubt a party , which considered him a dangerous man to the public safety . It was a base act under any circumstances , but one that in the course of time must hare been expected . Ho was a man without a redeeming quality , a knave , a hypocrite , and destitute of religion or virtue .

      Dfsciuptiost op Nauvoo . —Nauvoo , the Holy City of the Mormons and present capital of their empire , is situated in the north western part of Illinois , on the east bank of the Mississippi , in latitude N . 40 , 35 , and longitude W . 14 , 23 . It is bounded on the north , south and west , by the river , which there forms a large curve , and is nearly two miles wide . Eastward of the city is a beautiful undulating prairie . It , is distant ten miles from Fort Madison , in Iowa , is fifty miles above Quincy , Illinois , and more than two hundred above St . Louis .

      Before the Mo 7 mons gathered there , the place was named Commerce , and was but a small and obscure village of some twenty houses . So rapidly , however , have they accumulated , that there are now , within three years of their first settlement , upwards of seven thousand in the city , and three thousand more of the Saints , in its immediate vicinity . The Burface of the ground upon whioh Nauvoo is built , is very uneven , though there are no great elevations . A few feet below the soil is a vast bed of limestone , from which excellent building material can be quarried , to almost any extent . A number of tumuli , of ancient mounds , are found within the limits of the city , proving it to have been a place of some importance with the extinct inhabitants of this continent .

      The space comprised within the city limits is about four miles in its greatest length , and three in its greatest breadth , but is very irregular in its outline , and does not cover so much ground as the above measurement would seem to indioate . The city is regularly laid out—the streets crosing each other at right angles , and are generally of considerable length , and of convenient width . The majority ef the houses are as yet merely whitewashed log cabins , but latterly quite a number of frame and brick houses have been erected .

      The chief edifices of Nauvoo are the Temple , and a hotel , called the Nauvoo House , neither of which is yet finished : the latter of whioh is of brick , upon a stone foundation , and presents a front on two streets , of one hundred and twenty feet each , by forty feet deep , and is to be three stories higb t exclusive of the basement ; and , though intended chiefly for the reception and entertainment of strangers and travellers , contains , or , rather , when completed was to contain , a splendid suite of apartments , for the especial accommodation of the Prophet Joe Smith , and his heirs and descendants for ever ! The privilege of this accommodation he pretends T 7 a 8 granted him by the Lord , in a special revela--tUHK On aCCOUUt Of his services to the Church . -.

      The Mormon Temple is a splendid structure of stone , quarried within the bounds of the city . Its breadth is eighty feet , and its length one hundred and twenty , besides an outer court of thirty feet , making the length of the whole structure one hundred and fitly feet . In the basement of the Temple is the baptismal font , constructed in imitation of the famous braze n sea of Solomon . It is upborne by twelve oxen , handsomely carved , and overlaid with gold . Upon the surface of it , in panels , are represented various

      scenes , handsomly painted . This font is used for baptism of various kinds , viz ., baptism for admission into the Church—baptism for the healing of the siok —baptism for the remission of sins—and lastly , which is the most singular of all , baptism for the dead . By this latter rite , living persons , selected as-the representatives of persons deceased , are baptized for them , and thus the dead are released from the penalty of their sins 2 This baptism was performed , I recollect , for General Washington , among many others .

      It is known that Joe had established a Sisterhood of Saints for the vilest purposes . A Miss Brotherton makes an affidavit that Joe wished to have ber marry one of his confederated allies by the name of Young , already a married man ; and locked her up with Young , to talk over the proposition . The yonng lady , in spite of the holy appeal , had strong doubts of the correctness of marrying a man who had a wife already ; but Young , to remove her scruples , introduced the prophet to back his suit , which the lady describes as follows : —

      " Well , " said Young , " sister Martha would be willing if she knew it was lawful and right before God . " " Woll , Martha , " said Joseph , " it is lawful and right before God —/ know it is . Look here , eis ; don't you believe in me V I did not answer . " Well , Martha , " said Joseph , " just go ahead and do as Brigham wants you to—he is the best man in the world except me . " " O 1 " said Brigbam , "then you are aa good . " * Yes , " said Joseph . " Well , " said Young , " we believe Joseph to be a Prophet . I have known him near eight years , and always found him the same . " " Yes , " said Joseph , and I

      know that this is lawful and right before God , and if there is any sin in it , I will answer for it before God ; and I have the keys of the kingdom , and whatever I bind on earth is bound in heaven , and what * ever I loose on earth is loosed in heaven ; and if yon will accept of Brigham , you shall be blessed—God shall bless you , and my blessing shall rest upon you and if you will be led by him you will do well j for I know he will take care of you , and if he don't do his duty to you , come to me and I will make him ; and if you do not like it in a month or two , come to me , and I will make you free again ; and if he turns you off I will take you on . "

      The Mobsion Convention met in Baltimore on Saturday , agreeable to appointment , and decided , on account of the death of their leader , Joe Smith , to make no movement on the Presidential question .
