We have rarely, if over, seen our city more excited than it was yesterday, (Tuesday) in consecjuonce of tho outrages committed in Kensington on tho day previous; at an early hour, Brigadier General Cadwalladcr issued orders to his Brigade (that of tho city propor,) to parade in tho aftornoon.

STILL FU RTI1 VAX 1A RT1CULA RS. The riots in Kensington yesterday, although not signalized with tho loss of life, up to seven o'clock in the evening, were nevertheless marked with violence of the imrt outra-jeous charac ter. During the ni'it largo numbers of peoplo ; remained about the scenes of violence, and tho ' ; after,the listrict npearimi to be quiet, tho rest of !tho militarv wore drawn off, with the exception of a detachment of twentv-four men, under the command of Captain Fairlamb, which was loft i to TardSt. Michael's Church. j a i.. ..it l.v n prmv, of noon o went i to !th and Poplar street, where a number of Irish f-iinilinv bid tnken refuse, in a number of dwcllin"s. Tiieso wero fired and burned to tho ground, tho inmates scattered and the contents destroyed. j Meantime, an immense crowd had gathered in tho vicinty of St. -Michael's Church, and about "2 j o'clock, Captain Fairlamb demanded tho keys of tho edifice from tho Rev. Mr. Rochrin, tho pastor, who immediately gave them up, and with them, tho keys of his own residence, adjoining, tho church. - "Captain Fairlamb instituted a rigid 'search through the premises, and found neither arms nor men concealed, cither in the church or .1 1 in tuc house. Shortly after this throe young men walked through tho detachment of Military into the t '"? .1 I- 1 i l..1 l. inn 1Wt 1111. church, tno iroiu uoor 01 - locked. One of them in a few minutes afterwards threw out of a window a portion of tho drapery of tho altar. They soon came out into tho street and walked oh wituout onsiruouon. The flames soon burst out and spread unchecked until of the noble edifice nothing remained but the walh. During the conflagration, three distinct explosions were heard.and this served greatly to exaseratc the crowd. Tho dwelling houso of tho Pastor, adjoining, was broken into by the inob. tho furniture thrown into the strect,and the building itself fired. In a short time it was reducod to ruins. Destruction of Saint Atjucstine's Curucn. Durin" tho latter part of yesterday afternoon, crowds began to gather in tho vicinity ot tlie Catholic Church of St. Augustine, -on Fourth street, between Ilaco and Vine. Mayor Scott took early precautionary measures and long before dark "had a posse of citizens draughted, with which ho took a position at the rrrnr tlm flllircll. will lo tho City Watch, hav ing on their badges, formed in a lino upon the curbstone before tho front on Fourth street. Matters remained quiet until about half past i nino o'clock, when every avenue thereabouts was filled bv dense masses of people. About that time, a,sohtary brick was flung in tho .direction of theci'ty Watchmen, 'and struck with a loud and distinct noise (for all then was quir t,) agtjinsttho iron railing at their roar. This was folio w'cd by a loud cheer from tlvo crowd opposite thcchurch "in New st., and in an instant after, a tremendous shower of bricks, stones and missiles, of every available description, was directed against the church, scattering tho Watch and other bvstajidcrs in every direction. About tho same time, a similar attack was made upon tho rear. Ono of tho stones, in the first volley, struck and stunned Mayor Set! and this spread consternation amuilg those having tlie protection of tho roar. Besides, the missiles appeared to bo thrown not only from every conceivable but , from inconceivablo quarters. Though no'persofts wero to bo soon upon the adjacent roofs,the missiles evidently descended upon flic Mayor's forces. As soon as the watch in front had been driven off, the mob went to work quietly. Ono of the iron o-ates was first broken down, anil tnus i:io platform (about iivo fdet high) upon which tho building stands, having been reached, a sort of battering-ram was procured, with which steady and determined blows were inflicted upon tho northermost door, but it resisting all efforts, (which it did until tho last,) with clubs tho assailants beirun to demolish tho sashes of the front windows, which arc low, and in which by this tiinr there was not nrobablv a sinlo unbroken pane ot glass. While tho mob were thus engaged, there was lass. : an alarm of tho Troop the Troop 'and abovo all tho clamor was presently heard tno ; notes of a shrill trumpet, sounding the charge The First city Troop ro-Io by almost to a gallop,! causing tho crowds to fly towards Ilaco street, J where tho company w heeled and returned at a j similar gait; and several passages of this kind ! wero made, but with no ciFect, for the mob follow- j ed the horsemen, wheresoever they went, utterin"- loud and Ion" derisive cries ; while tho party innr.odiatelv engaged in breaking into tho church did not for a moment desist, but seemed to radoublo their efforts in anticipation of tho arrival of moro of tlie military. i In an incredibly brief period, the obstruction off -red by tho sash was removed the gas Ji'it near by extinguished, and fire conveyed into tho lower centre window. Tho fire was undoubtedly kindled bv lneifer matches, as wo were closi spectators, and certainly no lire was carried openly w ithin. As soon as the light wa3 seen, numerous persons employed thr tiis-'-'vi in bringing s nail piece? of lwxirds and othr light stufT. which were t ith. r throw n upon the fire, or handed to thoc inide. The flames appeared to make slow prorress. for the light was not scon in the second storv at all, (this was owing, we believe, to the , windows having shutters inside) but on a sudden ! thev burst forth from the roof, and almost irn- ! mediately enveloped the base of the etipoh. The sisrht w as hailed with a loud cheer. I The beautiful cupola of the churc'i did not burn with the rapidity which might havo been supposed. This was owing to tho cornice of the base projecting so far as for a timo to shield the ' columns which supported tho dome and cross. The flamos probably reached the roof as soon as thev did bv means of the organ, which stood immediately over tho burning material llow. j XilO cupola burnt fjr a ktn time boforo any no-tinn nf i, fHl Pdhr nftproilWr nnehio'n .

A few moments af:er. the falling in of tho roof carried with it tho burning but still erect remains of the cupola. The heat was intense, and tho roofs, door and window frames, and other wood-work, of wry building near was either burning, blistering, or sending up wreaths of steamy moisture. Many of the" ad jacent houses wore on fire, but by tho well directed efforts of the firemen, who were early on the ground, wc are happy in stating that none has suffered materially either from fire or

water. Not so. however, with thi houses 0:1 the east sid of Crown Street, north of tho church I liesj were suflored to cntch tire from tire church. and none ot tho engiuos threw water upon them. library of tho church. As if the firo which had devastated tho upper stories ot these houses did not descend last enough Jiros were kindled in tho lower stories by moans of tho books (some of which wero exceedingly valuable.) louiid in the ijiorarv. -V nro vas ni so built on tho pavement in front, which was likewise fed by numerous volumes of book, and by tho furniture which tho houses had contained. At one o'clock, tho fire was confined to tho ruins of tho church property, nn l all tho surrounding buildings were entirely freo from danger. 'Between four and five o'clock, tho mob proceeded southward to tho Homan Catholic school house, at tho corner of Second and Pluenix sts., which after lioing stoned was set on fire nt the top.
