AH the entrances but one were closed the Llts were arranged for the reception of prisoners, dressy-rooms fitted up surgical hospitals, ind the boxes, parquette and stage thrown open as I general camping ground for the relieved companies Everything valuable, had been previously removed, and just before sunset large placards were put upon the doors, stating that the house was closed by order of the lessee. The mob was at first most violent in Broadway, but gradually changed their position to the Bowery Their yells were truly awful to hear, and, for a while, things wore a troubled and threatening About half-past eight the police made a charge on the crowd where it appeared most turbulent, and succeeded in arresting two or three of the ring-leaders. The troops in the square, especially Capt.M'Ardle's jmpany of City Guards, were exposed to a shower 'of stones, thrown by a body who had taken possession of the marble yard on the opposite corner. A private, named Stevens, 'was knocked senseless by a stone which strucK turn on me utm the Montgomery Guards, named G'Halloran, was struck in The left eye by a stone, and severely hurt. man by the name of Coyle, in the Montgomery Trdope, 1st company, was prostrated from his horse bva Uowinthe abdomen, from a paving stone.

Soon afterwards two more soldiers and a policeman were brought into the Opera House, badly injured. They were all well cared for by the surgeons in attendance. About nine o'clock a barricudo was made across Ninth srrett, near the Bowery, with a wagon and ouie boxes, in order to prevent theiiorsemen from passing through. One of the latter coming suddenly upon it, was thrown from his horso and injured. fter the barricade was taken, the police stormed the marble yard and dislodged the rioters, who then retreated down the Bowery.

Just previous to this, however, the assault upon the City Guard had become so violent that they were ordered to load. Warnin" was given to the mob, but the stones continued to fly. At last the Recorder proclaimed to that the next shower of stones would bring a return of lead. The muskets were levelled, and the only awaited trie signui 10 are, wue iuuuu-atc'y the throwing of stones ceased. The police, who had already sixteen persons ar rested, now began a systematic attack upon the remaining rioters, and with such success that in a few minutes' upwards of twenty-five or thirty more were safely deposited in the vaults of the Opera House.

The crowd kindled bonfires in the Bowery, which only served to render the disturbers more conspicuous, and in less -ban half an hour they were nearly all either taken or The organization and efficient action of the police are deserving of the highest praise. We venture to say that no violent mob of such an extent was ever more promptly and successfully quelled. As the captain of each called, the men answered immediately, formed In order, and made a running charge upon the offenders, which was in all cases irresistible. The chief, Mr. as well aa the sheriff, recorder and justices of the wards, exercired tho most constant vigilance so long as there was any apparent danger.

Several bodies of calvary did good service by keeping the Bowery clear in the neighborhood of the square. When we left at midnight, order was almost entirely restored. Several cDinpanies had been discharged for the night, as the streets were quiet, and no sign of disturbance hadicciirred in any other part of the city. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The New York Commercial of Saturday evening, gives the following additional particulars Four' of the wounded liave died al the hospital since our visit yesterday morning, viz: George Lin-corn, who expired within a few minutes after we lift the building.

Some extraordinary revelations are expected in the judicial investigations, which were to take plae forthwith at Tampico. i The President hai directed that an express be forwarded to the capital from! A.capulco, with the correspondence brought or to bebrought monthly by the A-merican steamers to that port, with all postible speed, so as to admit of a return courier that shall reach Acapulcoin time to put on board a 'mail before she starts again, as is the case in reference te the English steamer, at Vera Cruz. The Monitor of the 17th says that the flow of emigrants to California through the centre of Mexico continues uninterrupted. From the 26th of February up date, 332 foreign passports were examined at the office of the Governor of the District of the Capital.

-a A number of wagons have passed through Duran-go with emigrants from the States, all bound for California. Difficulties occasionally rake place between them and ihe inhabitants, which, the? authorities are emphatically called on to suppress. A serious misunderstanding has recently broken out at San Luis Potosi between the Governor and the The wild Indians continue their ravages unpunished, almost unopposed, throughout Mexico. Mr. St.

James Lane, a citizen of the United States, has presented a petition to the Governor of the State of Coahulia, praying for permission to be allowed to wage war on these savages "on his own hook." He stipulates that all the plunder he makes from them shall be conceded to him as his own that he be paid $30 tor each scalp he presents and in case of the Governor's preferring to receive the Indian alive, he shall receive $100 for each so delivereds Thi3 is ex tracted from the Saltillo and inserted in the Monitor of the 17th ult. We know not what answer was given to the chivalrous Don Santiago Lane, Norte Americano, as the Mexicans wonder-ously call him. In Sonora the Apachc3 made- a descent lately, and almost exterminated the population of two villages. The progress of the Indians in the Sierra is quite Since the capture of Rio Verde, the city of San Luis Potosi has been put under martial law. The troops marching from Tula against Qttiroz, their leader, will, it is expacted, force them back into ihe mountains.

A considerable outcry has been raised in the capital against the Government, for appointing a young Spaniard, named Emello Rey, to a situation in custom-house at Matamoras of $300 a year. This is said to be an act of flagrant-injustice against thousands of native Mexicans. The cholera has appeared in different cities and towns in the country, but only sporadic cases except on the banks of the Rio Grande, where it was epidemic, -The" new Spanish Minister to Mexico, Scnor Sayes, is expected to arrive at Vera Cruz by the next isteameiC" I The'Lngislatuie of the State of Vera Cruz has lorwarded a petition to Congress against the Government monopoly "of' tobacco, which the people are resolved shall cease. A shock of an earthquake was felt on the 27th of February at Santebot a town in Chihuahua, which occasioned great consternation. -To casualties oc-.

urfed. The Monitor of the 10th ult states that private letters have reached the capital from Mazatlan, an nounced that during the Week preceding the 10th of March a schooner had arrived at that port from San Francisco. with 15.000 ounces of gold dust, which had been sold there at from $11 to $15 an ounce. On the 18th of that month a brig and a schooner sailed thence with seventy passengers each. The intelligence which daily arrives at Mazatlan is so good and so authentic that the whole population are on the qui vive for starting to the gold region: Other advices state that another place has been discov-ed in Lower California, which for richness will compete with that on the Sacramento.

Forty foreigners, (Americans, we presume,) well armed Teft the city of Mexico on the 11th en-route for California. The steamers to ply on the lakes in the vicinity of the capital are rapidly advancing to completion. News had been received from Gen. Bustemente informing the Government; that he attacked1 and defeated a party of the insurgents in the Sierra, kUling nine and dispersing, the remainder. This slight advantage' was very inspiring" after the'late reverses of the troops in Rio Virde.

I El globo of the 12th says that letters" from Chihuahua have been received in capital, intimating that three Apache chiefs had offered to treat with the Governor of that State for a peace with the Indian tribes. The latter had become alarmed at the news Of the Americans drawing near the frontier to settle the boundary line. The danger which1 lately threatened 5 Tampico through the. Intrigues of the Annexationists was so serious, that a message was sent to Gen. La Vega to recall him and his troops from Tula, in order lo pnt down the disaffected.

At latest dates he was march-? ing back to Tampico. xrr7l- An abortive attempt was made jtt rfevolation in 08jaaxttthnsrult.but the pTomritiude evinced by the authorities put the insurgents down, killing one and wounding two. It occured in the Guerrero Regiment of the Line'garrison there. A decree has been published dividing Lower California into tw parts North and South. The State of Sonora is so harrassed by the Indian tribes that a deputation of citizens has been despatched by the Governor to the city of Mexico praying for aid to save the inhabitants from utter ruin.

I El Siglo of the 16th ult, states that a letter from Tepic, dated the 7th, has come to hand, stating that the steam vessels which had arrived at an Francisco were utterly unable to return through the desertion of their crews, and sailors were not co be procured even at $200 a month. The California, the first of them, came into port on the 27 th of February, and there she remains.

The United States troops and marine corps are held in readiness to act if their services should! be required. A portion of those killed during the riot are expected to be buried this afternoon, which will doubtless cause an increased excitement. The New York Herald, of this morning, contains the proceedings of the coroner's inquest over the bodies of the slain. Mayor Woodhull and General Sandford have been examined. The latter says that fifty of the military were wounded before the firing commenced, and that they never could have gotton out of the crowd if the firing had not taken place.

The examination had not concluded. The mail by the steamship Hibernia left New York for the south this morning. New York, Sunday 10 P. M. The theatre is still in posession of the police, and the streets are thoroughly occupied by the military.

Detachments of cavalry have been scouring suspicious places and streets, to prevent congregations of the mob. All, however, is quiet, and no further troubles are anticipated to-night. It has been raining nearly all day, which has probably been of great serviee in preserving order, as it diminished the number of spectators, and thus cheeked the ardor of the rioters. The funerals of the killed were also not so largely attended as they would have been if the weather had have been clear. Clio era at The Cholera at Cincinatti is increasing daily at a fearful rate.

First the telegraph reported 94 cases in one day, then 33, and on Saturday at noon, they had risen to 50, with 5 deaths the previous 24 hours, making in all twenty odd deaths in a few days The members of the board of health wre divided, however, as to whether it was real cholera, and the current opinion was, that nearly half of the case's, were common diarhae. There had been upwards of 50 deaths by cholera in a week and a half. Prom the iV. O. Picayune.

Conde 3th Don llamiriz Interpreter Don F. de Jesus Iturbide. In the province of Senora the depredations of the Indians have lately been most horrible. A shocking act of inhumanity had been perpetrated by the captairi of the national brig Republicano. It appears that this vessel sailed a short time ago from San Bias with passengers for California.

Two or three day3 after she was at sea ilie, captain, Don N. Patino, found that a Frenchman had Come on board surreptitiously without paying his passage. Patino wished to throw him Into the sea, but; was prevented by the passengers. He then (drew. near the shore, and in spite of every entreaty of the people about him forced the unfortunate Frenchman to disembark on a sand bank entirely surrounded by the water, and which was at high water partially overflowed.

Here he was left with a few biscuits and six or eight pints of water the humane passengers added a small quantity of plantains. On the arrival of the brig at Mazatlan a complaint was lodged against Patino, and Gen. lnclan, the Governor, ordered his arrest, at the same time despatching a smail craft to ascertain if the ill-fated Frenchman was still alive on his desolate sand poor fellow was found at the last extremity of suffering from exposure and starvationjthe bank not affording the slightest sheltexfrom the burning sun, and for the mosTpart being under water; He was taken aboard, and after some time, with judicious cafephe revived, when the vessel returned to Mazatlan. GenUhclan deserves-the thanks of every philanthropist for his prompt humanity. The wretched Patino will be punished for his cruelty.

i The Monitor of the 20th denies the report that was current in the capital the previous day, of the surrender of the city of San Luis de Potosi to the Indians. That intelligence had reached New Orleans, but it was wholly without foundation. The Monitor says that the news so inconsiderately published by El Globo of the 19th, that the garrison had abondoned San was entirely false, and wonders what could be the motive of that paper in alarming the public by such an announcement. A popular sedition broke out at Tuspan, on the Atlantic, a short time since, headed by the Cure, who was led to to this demonstration by the refusal of the municipal authorities to proscribe the law, tolerating religious belief. The bigot and his mob were soon put down by the activity of the political chief, Don A.

24-tf. THE CHALLENGE ACCEPTED. THOSE who have read Mr. Potter's Challenge for a Race, with the Pilot Boat ANN E. BEERY, would naturally suppose the boat which proposes t- sail against her was nearly the same size and capicity; but on the contrary, his boat, the R.
