Thoro was no public notice ot tnu meeting nor any general knowledge or oven auspicmn of "its intended lime or place.

Belween 12 uud 1, parties of the t delu liberie" began to collect nl BoN.vci na's dratn-drink'ng establishment, at the corner of Noire Dunn nnd M'Gill Streets, nnd finally formed themselves into a men ling, secure Ironi Constitutionalist eyes, in n yard behind it which opens into-Crent St. .Tumps Street bv n Halo and door, both of which wore kept curefully shut, to the strict excl'iatun of oil except tho faithful. Till about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, ino meeting continued doggedly enough within thu safe enclosure, while groups of Con stitutionalists, somo with sticks and others without, were waiting disponed up ami down tho ftreet with exemplary patience, to see the end of it, r.ud know whether the promised Tricolor mm destined to appear or not. At about -i o'c'ock, t lie gates ol the yard wore thrown open, and a body of some 000 men and boyn, more or less, be ing wo suppose gIuioiU tho whole ol the meetinir, ruahed into tho street, but with out u Hag of any kind. At tho moment, thoro were perhaps 100 pcrson-i scattered about the street in small groups, thrrugh its whole length Upon llavu the fds dc la liberie made an immediate charge, with bticks volleys of stones, and tho discharge of ootne two or three oiatulr. Tho mob then nibhed at doublo quick time up the street towards tho Pluce d' Amies, and broke n number windows on thoir way, the ecattered groups skirmishing with their strogglera as they passed. In one of these skirmisher, at the corner of St. Francois Xavier Street, Mr T. S.

Mr. Phelps supposing him to bo intoxi cated. referred him to Judd, a deputy slier iff. Ho went off, but soon roturned, hav inp divested himsell of most of his clothing in the street, and again went into the ofliae. of Mr. Phelps, from which he was ordered out. About half past C, no returned to Ma hall's bar room, armed with a knife, whore without any quarrel or provocation, he assaultod a vouns man named Daniel Peck, inflicting throe wounds in tho breast and ab lomen.

Mr. Dosabavo had long bocn known in this city as an accorn plishcd and. eminent professor of music. Some years ago ho married tho heiress of a southern plantation, then on a visit here. Some embarrassment in Ins wile's estate, growing out of tho troublos of tho limes four or five years ago, induced him to re solvo upon returning lo his business of a musical instructor, lor tho purpose of cn. tirely extricating the property from incon venience, and settling his lady nnd the family in perfect security and independence. She horself acquiesced cheerfully in this creditable ambition of her husband, and accompanied mm, with their children, to Now York.
