THE NEW YORK RIOT. Wo uublisli to-diiY a eumniiirv nf tho rwir. a ^ ^ - r? ticulnrs of this disgraceful affair. Wo rcjoico to know, that nothing of tlio land 1ms over taken pluco at tho South. It is at least strange, that an intelligent community would suffer themselves to bo carried off by tho potty joa! ousics of two rival actors, cither in nn attempt to uphold tho one, or debaso the other. Our latest odvices Btato that tho excitemcnt ltas nearly subsided. Tho militia have been dismissed, the policc being considered sufficient to protect the theatre. Tlmt inosl of ihe killed had been buried without uuy ceremony; and that tho verdict of tho Jury of Inquest iH well received SUMMARY OF THE KIOT AT N. YORK. Serious indued must lmvc been the disturbance created by the jealousies of tho two rival actors, Forrest and Mncready, when it required the intervention of an armed force to quell the rioters. Mncready having been driven from the siage c:i monuny niglit, 7th hint., fit the earnest solicitations of a number of the citizens, announced his re-appearance on the next Thursday evening. A large crowd assembled at the Astor Place, and as many of the rioters as could procure seats, entered tl.o theatre. The appearance of Macready \> as the signal for tiie out ureuK, nc was greeieu uy msses nn and their efforts to suppress the riot woe ent irely unavailing. A considerable number of militia were ordered, and as they appeared tl.ey were hissed and booted by the mob?it however opened and allowed them to pa?s. The militia were then stationed before the theatre to secure an oppress Tor the audience. Tlic mob became bo violent that the performances were stopped?they had broken the windows and doorj, and tired several times the theatre. Tlie mob, at length having occupied an adjacent marble yard, commenced an attack upon the militia?severely wounding the Captain of one of the companies, some of the other officers, nnd several privates. The wounded were removed to the theatre.? The mob in possession of the marble yard were charged by the police nnd driven back; but as soon as the officers left, it re-occupied the same and continued to throw stones at the militia.? It is said that several pistols were fired by the mob, but of this there seems to be no certain, ty. The militia informed the Sheriff that unless they received orders to fire, that they would leave. They were ordered to load and firo Thn firot ? - 1 .,.V u,...?..,v.utjgv KIM , lieu uvur IIIU llC'aUS of tliu mob; it huil no effect. Tho sccond was fired at them, killing ?! and wounding 33,some of worn have since died. The larger portion of the mob dispersed, and left the military and Police in posaoission of the field, which they occupied for the remainder of the night, Ah serious disturbances were expcctcd for tho next night, (Friday 11th in.it.,) effective measures were taken to suppress it. A larger number of armed forces were called out, and it is said tluit the Governor of New York made a requisition for some of the United States forces. which were placed at his disposal. Placards were ]?est?d up, calling a meeting of the citizens at the Park for this evening. A largo concourse assembled, and several very inflammatory speeches were made, censuring the authorities and charging them with murder. The Mayor issued a, proclamation calling on the citizens to rally to the standard of peace and good order. The measures taken by the authorities checked any serious outbreak. > ?? ? j.hjjv; nuiioum conunuea to prowl about the Jute scene of action until midnight Up to Tuesday the 18tli in.st no other disturbance hud occuTed.

The Captain Generk paying no attention to pwhJic opinion, refuse* t i> to recognize Mr. David an Consul General.? It was agreed after explanations to addrcB# the Spanish Government on the subject, that tho error committed in tho '/Bees t-iiwdd be rectified. While they wore thus in uncertainty the question of naturalisation car.<*> up, and Mr. T)n vid wislmri to intr>rfi>rr> TI?o oral would not recognize his interference, and refused to rcceivo tlio letters of Mr. David, o*i they were marked Consul General. Mr. David demanded liis pass ports, which he received He tlion addrosse-1 a letter to tho Captain Genernl in which lie stated that ho had not huspended Voluntarily his functions, but that ho was forced to i>, by a procedure to wliicli he was not accustomed. He stated that he weut alone, that no one might suppose that any other interest than that of the State caused his dotermination. I We clip the following synopsis of the debate in the Convention from the South Caroliiuan : The President, on opening the business of W tho Convent'on, addressed the delegates in a most impressive and fcelinir manner. Hin loner nnd devoted service to the State rendered him in every respect Worthy of tho position he occupied, ftiul the weight of years, with ita ^(uneven treasure of experience, eminently fitted him to preside over nnd direct the consultation* and deliberations of South Carolinians. Mr. Elmore, tho Ohairmnn of tho Committee of Twenty-one, introduced tho resolutions with some very forcible and eloquent remarks. They irciu iujjiuiu wiih wnoiesome numonmons ana sound reasoning. jMr. Strobhart, from St. Luke's, followed luin, ill strong nnd earnest language, dcpiciting tlio wrongs attempted to be inflicted upon the Southern States, and in glowing language described the feelings the people of South Carolina. Mr. Black, from Richland, next addressed the Convention, in support of the resolutions reported by the Comimtt< e, and in liis usual forcible manner urged their adoption. Mr. Perry, from Greenville, also made an able speech, expressing his preference for the proposition for a Southern (!nnv?nt.tnn lm? heartily concurring in the resolutions of tho Committee. Messrs. l'oj e. Spain, fuul Eaves also addressed the Convention in the same spirit of conciliation and harmony, as did also Mr. Hutson, of Orangeburg, who advocated a bold and fearless position OS the proper one tor South Carv'na. Mr. McCord addressed tho Convention in ?. speech of eoino length, which wad recoivcl with many indication1! of gratification by tho Convention and andienco. It was a n.a?tcrly effort, and produced tlic happiest cfToct by tho manner in which lie portrayed (South Carolina's true position. Mr. Eaves, from Chcfttcr, also addressed tho Convention in support of the resolution found reported in another column and adopted by tho Convention. Tho Central Executive Conuiuttcc of tho State are men in whom the people will have every confidencc in the position assigned them. They were chosen by ballot as follows: F. H. I Elmore, James Gadsden, "Wade Hampton, D, J. McCord, and F. W. Pickens, To tliia Committee, with the co-operation of tho District Committees, the people of the Stato have confided their interest*, and they will not find their confidence misplaced.

Political.?Official notice had been received at Pans of the intervention of Russia in the difficulties between Austria and Hungary. Russia is understood to have placed a largo force at the disposal of Austria, amounting, it is said, to one hundred and fifty thousoud men.
