Twelve bours ago, fiftoon stark, staring corpees bung ghastly in the moonlight, while six, seven or eight others, mutilated, torn and orushed, lay in our otrçols, all of them Chinmen. The sad results came, first, of their own bitter feuda between themselvca; next of the infuriated passions of a few of their, avm ber; and lastly, of the demoniacal excitement of the lower elinves of our community. Horrible beyond description has been the history of theta Inst few boyrs. Ubinamen, helpless, torn and mangled, more dead than alire; have been dragged by an infuriated, seneclose and reaktiens crowd, through our peaceable streets, in the very face of the better portion of the comi musity, to finish what little was left of their agonized existence at the end of a rops, midat the extant shouts and jears of the mob, Forfang to Hongkong merchant- all this we have no apology, save that the fear ful work commenced at an hour when business turn, professional men and all the better olumes of our community had retired to their bozies, and were aroused therefrom to confront the horrible work, Much tiuso necessarily elapsed ere sufficient donore of action could be brought about to stay the fearful stanghter..
HISTORY OF THE TROUBLE FROM THE TOMMENCEMENT,
A brief history of the horror contains the following facto: Beads existing between the two heads of the Obiness' cotapanien bere. Four Chinamen, it is reported, were brought from Sub Francioso by the last steamor to com pass the death of one man. The attempt was taade on Monday, and was falile. It appears that all the parties thereto, including their in tended victim, were arrested, and, on examiņa. tion yesterday, the entire number placed under heary bouds; such 'bonde were given at about four o'clock yesterday afternoon, and the priz "ties returned to their respective places of abode, and about five o'clock aubiber fight cominenced.
