These were all that were dead up to twelve o’clock last night, although many reports were in circulation throughout the day  (yesterday) that from ten to twelve were dead and from forty to fifty wounded.  We were happy to state that such is not the case.
The bottles, houses, signs, stoops, &c., in Bayard street and vicinity of the fight, were in some places completely riddled with balls from pistols and guns, presenting altogether the appearance of a well riddled target.  The streets and sidewalks were also filled with broken stones, fragments of brickbats, &c., &c., the remnants of the riot.
