Horrible Outrages at Baltimore.—By the last southern mail we received the annexed account of the operation of a mob at Baltimore; and though these accounts are furnished by passengers from that city to Philadelphia, it is feared that they do not present the worst aspect of the case. When mob law bears rule, there is no telling at what point it will stop:—

Dreadful Riot and Loss of Life in Baltimore.—We learn from a passenger who arrived in the steam boat yesterday afternoon from Baltimore, that a riot of a most disgraceful character occurred in that city on Saturday night. Several thousand persons assembled before the houses of two gentlemen connected with the bank of Maryland, which sometime since failed, and after breaking the windows proceeded to take out the furniture, which was piled up in the middle of the street and burnt. The civil authorities being unable to arrest the progress of the rioters, the Volunteers were called out, and during the conflict that ensued seven persons were killed, and eighteen wounded.—The Baltimore papers due this evening will no doubt furnish more authentic particulars of this disreputable affair.

Dreadful Riot at Baltimore.—We regret to learn that a serious riot took place in Baltimore on Saturday night and Sunday morning. The mob attacked the houses of Reverdy Johnson, Esq: and John Glenn, Esq., formerly directors of the Bank of Maryland, and caused great destruction in the house of the latter.—The citizens flew to arms, and rumor says that eighteen lives were lost—a great many more were severely wounded; among the latter were Mr. Findlay, Mr. Chevee, and Mr. Adams. Our information is derived from gentlemen who were witnesses to this terrific scene of riot and bloodshed. As they left early in the morning, we are not able to state minute particulars. The excitement, it appears, grew out of the late business of the Bank of Maryland.
