Flat. it appears from the Providence Beacon of the 23d Oct. that on the Sun day evening preceding, a scene of tumult and disorder took place, between a number of whites and blacks in that town. On Monday morning a placard was posted on the flag staff at the bridge, calling a meet of rioters at that place at 10 o’clock the succeeding night; and before that hour had arrived, between 4 and 509 persons had as sembled, and proceeded to the northern suburbs of the town, populated by blacks, where in the course of four or five hours they destroyed 11 small dwelling houses of the colored people, together with their furniture. The colored people were se verely beaten by the mob. The Beacon very truly remarks, that the town of Prov idence by this transaction, “has incurred an indelible disgrace: and a monument of infamy has thus been erected, to perpetuate the atrocities committed by an abandoned and profligate mob.”
