The Baltimore American thus the of the TIM i iy was K' ven the control of i ufl.auism, ettpported aud encouraged bv 'he police, and approved of and urged on bv 'he leaders of the American pariv. Armed bands, of lawless characters held ssion of nearly all the polling plnoes. the el. rts Inch the ot a fair ami logal elec-1 ion made to preserve order were as riot.and the only made bv the police were ol resjievtable aud well-known i whose whole lives are tho guarantee their obedience to the laws. Every species Ol Iraud.

every degree of ruffianism, n'nd every Molatton of sworn duty, was used to detent I xpre-sion of the will of the people. Bands men, looks bespoke their character rode in omnibuses and carriages from one poli to the other, voting without check at each. I'lie accumulated disgrace shanie of the scene was painful to contemplate, ami we can scicely con irol our own feelings to write of it wltli any degree of calmness. The Keforiners madeamanly and determined for their rights, but it was such of ruffianism and fraud as sirred the contest hopeless. Taunted, in- Jietl, aud abused, the slightest demons tration they made toward self-protection was treated a breach of the peace, and they were ignotutniously dragged to the police stations, whilst their assailants were left to renew their outrages.

They might have continued the struggle to the end, but the result could only the sacrifice of valuable lives, without accomplishing any ultimate good. With a number of the wards in the uncontrolled possession of their opponents, and fraudulent voting progressing without check at al 1 but he Kijrlitli and the Eleventh, the succi ss of the ticket was an impossibility. Prudence, as well as necessity, dictated retirement from a conte-t which hopeless unless they descended to the Mle practices of their opponents. In the Fourteenth want, James Johnson alias Sonuy White," a notorious was shot and killed. Michael Duff, a watchman at the Kutaw House, was arrested for the crime.

In the Fifteenth ward, the murder of Mr. Kyle occurred, and is thus described: We regret to record that the blood of one of the best citizens was shed before the polls ere opened. Mr. Adam Harklee Kyle, well known in this community as a dry goods merchant of (ierman street, proceeded to the place with tlie in ten lion of and was attackedand sb.ot whilst defending himself from a crowd of desperadoes. lie was carried 011 a settee to his residence, No.

s- Hanover street, and the serv ices of llrs. Smith and Rich were availed of. At noon he was supposed to be sinking, lie is a single gentleman, and highlv respected. is brotner, Mr. Geo.

li. Kyle, of the firm of -more A Kyle, was also shot in the ieg, and conveyed to the same residence. His wound is not considered dangerous. A young man, named Hiram Ford, engaged in the State tobacco warehouse, received a bad wound from a pistol bail, and a boy, named Joliu Mo ran, was shot in the breast. 111 relation to this lamentable occurrence we have been at pains to obtain the particulars, especially as there has been judicial investigation in the case.

It appears that the two brothers attended a meeting of the Reformers on the evening previous to the election, when it was determined to meet at the Fifteenth ward polls at o'clock the next morning. They proceeded to the polls aad were met by a crowd, oue of whom, named Joseph Edwards, approached Mr. Geo. Kyle and insisted on having some Reform tickets, but Mr. K.

refused to give them to him. Edwards then left, adding that Mr. K. could get plenty of tickets duriug the day. Soon after a number of the party approached, and one ot them, using insulting language, knocked off his hat.

Mr. K. struck the assailant a blow upon the head with a steel cane, which was wrested from him. He was struck several times and knocked down, not until he drew a large dagger and stabbed one of his assailants in the breast. He then drew his revolver, and, whilst upon the ground, discharged three loads, whilst his assailants continued the assaults.

During the affair one of the presented a pistol close to his temple and fired, bit: he quickly changed his position, arid received the ball in his right shoulder. It struck the acromion, and passing under the shoulder-blade, rested there. The pistol was so near that its discharge burned him very severely in the face. It was one of the discharges from Mr. Kyle's pistol which took effect in the leg of liiram Ford.

Mr. Kyle suffers more from the condition of his tace than his arm. lie is attended by Drs. Smith, Baltzeli, and McKew. It was wliiist lus brother was upon the ground si rngeling with a number ol' assailants that Herkiee Kyle came to his rescue and discharged his revolver.

The cro soon turned upon him and he retreated to the steps of a house on the corner of CJ, ay alley and Eight streets, and was in ihe act of entering: tlie ame when he received the fatal The bill! entered the cerebellum, and passing along 'he base of the brain, lodged near the left eye. He fell instantly, and was shortly afterwards picked up by friends and conveyed to residence. l)rs. N. R.

Smith, Mackenzie, and Baltzell, was soon at his side and rendered what assistance was necessary. At times he was conscious and called for such things as he needed. One of the balls discharged from a pistol struck a lad named Bosley Giltnor, and caused a very bad, but not fatal wound. It seems that he was standing near at the time, having tieen attracted by the riot, when he received the wound. The ball passed into the left side of the breast, about three inches below the nipple, and penetrated the skin of the back.

He was carried to the house of Mr. John Moran, No. Go York street, near the polls, where his parents reside, and was attended by several physicians, lie is about fifteen years of age, and his father, a waterman, is at present absent from the city. Mr. George Kyle exliouerates Edwards from any blame in the matter.

Mr. Kyle breathed his last at half-past nine o'clock last evening, surrounded by the members of the family and relatives. He was scarcely conscious after two or three o'clock in the afternoon. An inquest will be held this morning by Dr. Coroner.

There were continued attacks throughout the day at the polls of this ward on the lew Heforipers who attempted to vote, and the police here, as elsewhere, made no attempt to aflord any protection. Gangs of the roughs trom other warris were arriving, voting and departing throughout the day. Dr. Charles H. Moore, residing on Hill street, was assaulted by a man named Yoglesang without the slightest provocation, lie was standing near the ward polls, when the assailant walked up behind him and dealt him a powerful blow in the face.

In the 11th ward the Black Snakes held complete possession of the polls up to the hour of their close, and having no Reformer to fight with, a general melee ensued among themselves. The police for a while were quiet observers of the scene, but they soon the polls of their presence; occasionally one might be seen, but they evidently concluded their services were not required. Parlies of men throughout the afternoon made their appearance lrom theinth ward, and were duly vuted by their brother "Snakes." Cries of come upand vote boys, were duly responded to by the guard around the polls, who relieved each other at short intervals. Several 'awls" were placed on exhibition on the steps of the house immediately fronting the polls, and the attention of gentlemen passing werecalled tothein with a sieniflcant look, on the part of druuken rascals who had them in charge. The tils were closed with a prolonged yell of 'O! you a discharge of pistols, and cheers for Davis, interspersed with cries of "the llth and 20th wards, all's right this time." In another ward the rowdies were reinforced after dinner, and took completo possession of the and for the balance of the dav were constantly driving up and voting carriages and vehicles filled with men who were taking the circuit of the city on a similar errand.

Germans were also dragged from the streets, and in some instances from their and compelled to vote the American ticket. John Hinesley, with Col. Houston, were the only Judges, at one of the wards Hinesley having beeu re-appointed by Mayor Spicer in defiance of the refusal of the Council confirm his nomination. Thomas H. Martin, the other judge, struck by Hinesley, whom he charged with refusing to put the Reform ballots in the box.

He shortly afterwards retired, fading that he wm not allowed to take any part in receiving the and made his statement to Mayor Spicer. He also pointed oat to the police the parties who commenced the violence iu the morning, bat they refused to arrest them. During the day several rowdies attacked Dr. John Morris, postmaster of the city, and beat him with great severity. He is acquainted with several of the party, and would have nrreMed if waa the slightest of their being punished.

The Election of a Lord Mayor of Londsn.

The election for Lord Mayor of London took place on the 29th ult. A correspondent of the Century gives the manner of conducting the election as follows: Tile only jiersons whofiave a right to vote for Hord Mayor are members of what is called ho livery ot London:" that is, members elect, and belonging to oue of the followingsocieties Apothecaries, Armorers and Braziers, rs Blacksmiths, Bowyers, Bricklajers and 11llers, Brewers, Butchers, Basket makers, Carpenters, Clock-makers, Cloth-workers Comb-makers, Cooks, Coach-makers, Cordw aiuers, Coopers, Card-makers, Curriers, Cutters, Carmen, Distillers. Drapers, Dyers, Embroiderers, Farriers, Fletchers, Fish-mongers, ruiterers, Fan-makers, Kelt-makers, Founders, Krarae-work Knitters, Gilders. Glass-sellers, Glaziers, (Hovers, Goldsmiths, Grocers, Gun-makers, Homers Iron-mongers, Joiners, Leather-sellers, Lorriners, Merchant Tailors, Musicians, Masons, Mercers, Needle-makers, Fain ter-stainers Uat tern-makers, Scriveners, Poulters, Pewterers, Plumbers, Saddlers, Sailers, Skinners, Silktlirowers, Shipwrights, Stationers, Tallow chandlers, Tin-plate Workers, Turners, Vintners, Upholders, Wax-chandlers, Weavers, Wire-drawers, Wheelwrights, Woolmen. The election is held at Guildhall, and in front ot the building a fence is built, with a gate for each society.

An otlicer called a beadle at each gate, and wears an embroidered cloak, and carries in oue hand a gilt rod, with a basket-shaped butt end to it, called a lie is supposed to know all the members of his society, and, theoretically, uo others are but, practically, those whose curiosity, like mine, was an overmatch lor their modesty, contrived to pet in. After the arrival of the Lord Mayor, Common Councilmen, Sheriff and his deputies, with sundry other oflicials, all rigged out in their gorgeous, fantastic, gold lace, fur and leather plumage, they adjourned to an adjoining church, where the' Lord Mayor's chaplain preached a sermon which was very good in one respect, as it was not more than fifteen minutes long. All hands theu went back to the hall, which by that time was tilled with people. It was then announced that the meeting would proceed to elt'Ct a Lord Mayor, and sundry candidates were named, and as each name was panned on a board and held up alternately above the heads ot the crowd 011 the platform, the j'rieuds of each candidate would hurrah and swing their hats. Alter putting up first oue board and then another, until it was very apparent whose name elicited the most noise, and induced the largest number to swing their hats, it was declared that Mr.

Jno. Carter was duly elected Lrird Mayor of the city. Mr. Carter "came forward and made a short speech, and the ended. Some of your readers may suppose that the me mbers of the different societies follow the tra de or occupation indicated by their name, and such probably was the case when the socie.

ies were formed, but it is not so now. Anybod.y who can command money and influence enoii gh, m.ty be elected in any of the societies, the i nitiation lee being from thirty to several hundred pounds. lien an election is contested, and there is any doubt about the candidate's election by the li urrah and hat-swinging method, thecandidat es demand a poll, and the election is adjourn ed until the nextday, and the kept open until all the voters have a chance to come vote vii a voce, for the man of their choice. There is one olllcer attached to the city government, called the "City Remembrancer," whose duty it is to watch the Farliamen and report to the Convention proceeding relating to the interests of the city. It is surprising that a people with so much couimo.i sense aj? the English should retain so many an cient and useless forms and dress up their officials like harlequins an clowns at a fandango.

But civilisation not much to boast of savage life, as gewgaws and Mankind have always been tickled with a tail like a and I suppose always will be. T. S. C. Lowe the aeronaut, who proposes to take a voyage to Europe in his he City of New York, which is now being inflated for the trip, has published a card, giving his and desires in undertakiuga transatlantic air voyage.

We copy a portion of the card: "Some people may think I am insane, rash, or a seeker alter fame; but this is not the case. I have lor two years coolly considered the subject, and have provided for every contingency. I intended to make my first trip across the ocean entirely a private undertaking; but findiri that the amount of expense to Vie incurred would overtax my personal means, I have been compelled to announce a public exhibition, while preparing for the voyage. I am confident of success for various reasons have a large balloon, which baa a capacity of 725,000 cubic feet; therefore, should the envelope be no more than those which are usually constructed, it will retain its power for a longer period. have devised mechanical appliances for raising and lowering the balloon while in the air, without of the lifting: power.

have invented an apparatus for indicating the differentcurrents, should I find myself going too far north or south. Should any accident occur, or should the balloon machinery fail to accomplish its work, the inetalic lifeboat, which will be suspended helow the ear, is rigged with sails, and will prove sufficiently strong; to endure any sea. It is true, I would have preferred auothei leason of the year for undertaking this firs experiment of transatlantic navigation out should this first attempt at an explorini expedition, as I term it, not prove entireij successful, 1 shall not be discouraged nor debarred from instituting experiments with view to ascertaining the eause of failure and the remedy therefor. I shall be supplied with all the philosophical apparatus necessary lo take meteorological observations. If a rial navigation is ever perfected, it will be accomplished by perseverance, eveu in the midst of opposition and detraction.

1 am willing to take the risk, and if lean do anything to add, in however small a measure, to the store of scientific knowledge, I shall feel amply repaid. How Duelling was Stopped in Illinois. In moralizing upon duelling, the Chicago Press and Tribune informs us how the law became a dead letter in Illinois, by reviving the history of the first and only duel ever fought in that State. In the year 1820, Alphonso Stewart and William Bennett fought with rides in St. Clair county, and Stewart fell mortally wouuded on the first fire.

Bennett made his escajie into Arkansas, where he remained two years. His whereabouts was discovered, he was arrested, brought hack, indicted. tried, convicted of murder, and executed. Governor Bond was besieged days and weeks bv the disciples of the code, clamoring for pardon. But he closed his door against petition and entreaty, and William Bennett dangled at a rope's eud, in the presence of some thousands of spectators, who took in a great moral lesson.

This was the first aud ist duel ever fought on the soil of Illinois, and it effectually crushed out all rwpect for the bloody code in that State.

asked Jw TfZfi Instructions to the jury, which were all gran" ed by the Court, when the jury retired CAFT BROWN'S TO THE COURT Capt Brown was then brought in and the court-house was immediately thrWed The Court gave Its decision on the motion for an arrest of judgment, overruling the objection made. In regard to the objection that treason cannot be committed against the State the Court ruled that wherever allegiance is'due treason may be committed. Most of the Suites have passed laws against treason. The objection as to the form of the verdict rendered the Court also regarded as insufficient. The Clerk now asked the prisoner if he had anything to say why sentence should not be pronounced against him.

Brown stood up and, in a clear, distinct voice, said have, may it please tbe Court a few words to say. In the first place, 1 deny everything but what I have all along admitted, of a design on my part to free slaves 1 intended certaiiNy to have made a clear thine of that matter, as I did last winter when went into Missouri and there took slavewithout the snapping of a gun on either side, moved them through the country, and finally left them in Canada. I designed to have done the same thing again, on a larter scale. That was all I intended. I never did intend murder, or treason, or the destruction of projterty, or to incite slaves to rebellion, or to make insurrection.

"I have another objection, and that is, it is unjust that I should suffer such a penalty. Had I interfered in the manner which I admit, and which I admit has been fairly proved, admire the truthfulness and candor of the greater portion of the witnesses who testified in this case) I so interfered in of the rich and calle great, or in behalf of any of their friends, either father or mother, brother or sister, wife or children, or any of that class, and suffered and sacrificed what 1 ve this interference, it would have been all right, and every man in this Court would have deemed it an act worthy of re ivard rather than pnnislimeut. "This Court acknowledged, too. as 1 suppose, the validity of the law of God. 1 see a book kissed here which I suppose to be the Bible or 1 the Testament.

That teaehes'me that all things 'whatsoever 1 would men should do to me I should do even so to It teaches me, lurther, to 'remember them that are in bonds as bonded with I endeavored to act up to these instructions. I say I am yet too young to understand that God is any respecter of persons. I believe that to have interfered as I have done in behalf of His despised poor, was no wrong, but. right. Now, if it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life tor the furtherance of the ends of justice, and mingle my blood further with thp blood of my children, and with the blood of the millions in this slave country, whoserights are disregarded by wicked, cruel and unjust enactments.

I submit. So let it be done! "Let me stiy one word further: I feel entirely satisfied with the treatment I have received on my trial. Considering all the circumstances, it has been more generous than I expected, but I leel no consciousness of guilt. I have stated from the first what was my intentions, and what was not. 1 never had any design against the life of any person, any disposition to commit treason or excite the slaves to rebel or make-any general insurrection.

I never encouraged any man todo so.but always discouraged any idea of that kind. Let me say also, in regard to the statements made Ijv some of those connected with me, I fear it been stated by some of them that I have induced 1 hem to join me. But the contrary is true; 1 do not say this to injure them, but as regretting their weakness. There is not one of them but joined me of his own eccord, and the greater part at their own expense. A number of them I never saw and never had a word of conversation with till the day they came to me, and that was for the purpose I have stated.

Now I have done!" While Brown was speaking perfect quiet prevailed. When ne had finished the Court, proceeded to pronounce SENTENCE OF DEATH. After some preliminary remarks, in which the Judge said thai no reasonable doubt could exist as to the prisoner's guilt, the Conrt sentenced him "to be hung in public on Friday, the dnd of December." Brown received the sentence with composure, and the only demonstration made was a clapping of hands by a man in the crowd, who is not a resident Of Jefferson This indecorum was promptly suppressed and much regret was expressed by citizens at its occurrence. COPrKE COXVICTED. After being out an hour the jury came in with a verdict that Coppee was guilty on ail the counts of the indictment.

His counsel immediately gave notice of a motion for an arrest of judgment, as in Brown's case. The Court then adjourned. The New York Herald recently sent a reporter to visit the residence of Gerrit His arrival there created some alarm, as tin wife and daughter of the abolitionist thought he sail officer with a requisition. Upon entering into conversation with Smith, the reporter introduced the subject of Harper's Ferry. The report gives the following account of the dialogue: "I can't speak about it at all," replied Mr.

"I am going to be irdicted. If any man in the Union is taken, it will be me. It would not be proper to say a word about it. I ought not to say one word. I am advised not to approach the subject at ail.

It is evident that the family of Mr. Smith are much alarmed and in a constant state of agitation for when I approached the house, a stranger to them, an dread painful to evident in the anxious countenances of his wife and daughter, who were on the piazza at the moment of my call. I subsequently conversed with a near relative and close adviser of Mr. Smith, and expressed to him a desire to obtain some statement.

that, while doing injury to none, might, on the other hand, remove erroneous impressions and lay facts bef the public. said, "Mr. Smith does desire to ntake such astatement scarcely be restrained from doing so. But if he should, he would do it in his own manner, and strike the thing square in the lace; let who might be injured. He is, however, strongly advised not to do so in the present position affairs, and has agreed to abide by the judgment of his counsel.

When he does tell his story, it will be found that many now only partially suspected are more implicated than he himself is. But at present he will say no word to any person," I made some inquiries about Capt. Brown, and found that he was here last spring for several weeks, a guest at Gerrit Smith's house, and that while here a'number of the most prominent leading republicans visited him, and were for days in consultation with him. Beowk ox Cleveland Herald, speaking of Capt. John Brown's wool operations, says: He initiated the system of grading system at this day universally adop'ed, and with perfect the New England manufacturers combined against him.

He had, at Springfleld, a large deposit of graded Western wools, and he warred against tlie combination of New England manufacturers, wbo, having had the wool buyiug all their own way, did not fancy that a party should step in between them and the producers, to show the latter what was for their interest, and to prevent the practice of imposition upon them. The combination was Brown, impetuous and iudignaat, shipped his wools to England, to tlnd out that the prices in Massachusetts was better than ia England. He reshipped his wools, took them to Bremen, and there sold them at such sacrifice as to ruin himself, pecuniarily, and seriously many friends. in behalf of Johu Brown were undertaken by a large audience at Shiloah Presbyterian Church last evening.

An engine passed down a few minutes ago, with cars in a train, carrying over 700 tons of coal, it would seem, without extraordinary exertion. This road lies on the hanks of the Lehigh river, and presents an uninterrupted dowr. grade to the heavy traffic which passes over it.

Horrible Indian Persons emigrant train, numbering seventeen persons, from Buchanan county, lowa, was attacked by Indians on the night of the I'd of September, and nine persons killed. The massacre occurred about twenty-five miles west of Fort Hall.

The emigrants were surrounded just as they were about camping, and shot down before they had time to prepare for defence. Some who escaped fell in soon alter with a eomjiany of dragoons under command of Lieut. Livingston, who sent a detachment to the scenes of the massacre. The following is the description of what they found "Alter informing the command of our distress, Lieut. Livingston sent a detachment ot nine men, with one of our company to pilot them to tlie place of the massacre.

On their arrival they found the dead bodies of five persons on the ground, out of tile eight that were missing. The dead were horribly mangled and scalped. One little girl, live years old, had both her legs cut off at the knees; her ears were also cut off, and her eyes were dugout from their sockets; and to all appearance the girl, after having her legs cutoff, had been compelled to walk on the stumps, for the sole purpose of gratifying the hellish propensity of savage barbarity. Their animals were taken and their wagons plundered according to the usual mode of Indian spoliation." names of the murdered Miltimore, James Miltimore, Wlll. Miltimore, Mary Elleu and Myron Ciine, Mrs.

Here they met a warm reception, and were kept at bay by the incensed and determined emigrants, until welcomed darkness closed upon the scene, when the assailed, finding further resistance fu ile, made their escape, leaving the Indians possessors of their stock and goods. They traveled on foot two days without anything to eat, and finally reached a military post. Death or ax Ixgkmois James G.

ilendrickson, of Freehold, Monmouth known for his "perpetual motion" machiue, died ou Saturday last. He had devoted his life to obtaining perpetual motion, and his machines have been a puzzle toall who examined them, as they have certainly moved for six years without the application of auy external powers, and apparently with no intention of stopping. Mr. H. suffered much ridicule and persecution, but he was a quiet, honest and patient old man.

He was once arrested at Keyport for practicing "jugglery" nndor the "Act for suppressing vice and immorality." At the trial, several builders, millwrights, engineers and philosophers were called, who testified positively that no such motive power as that alleged could drive the machine, and that there be some concealed spring. So the machine was broken, but no motive was discovered At the time of his death, Mr. 11. was engaged in applying bis machines to clock-work, lie had been so much persecuted by the incredulous that he had provided a secret place beneath the floor of his shop, where his last two machines were deposited. It was in the form of a vault, covered by a trap-door, which was locked, and the floor so replaced as to avoid suspicion.

After his last illness commenced, he made known this secret to bis family, who examined the spot carefully, and found the contents exactly as described. The night of his death, the shop was broken open, the floor taken up, the trap-door prized off, and both models stolen. It is probable that the family, ia their visits, had not taken the same precaution as the inventor, and some prying eyes had discovered the secret. Fortunately, the drawings are preserved, and there is "a little machine, one of the earliest made, now running in Brooklyn, where it has up its ceaseless ticking for nearly six years. Mr.

lftadrickson leaves a family of four sons and four daughters, all of them, we believe, to inventions. (AT. Trmt Democrat.

AIAO Th work of Inflating tbe great trane-Atlantic balloon yrsu-rday, in Reservoir square, In the province of a number of spectators. The flrat thing done was to wrap of cot ton oloth around the end of the attached temporarily to the main of the Manhattan dan Company's for the purposes of preserving the neck or the balloon fr jm the rust of tbe pipe, and to make a soft bedding. In order to prevent an escape of jcaa. A sail was drawn along in the range of tbe neck of tbe balloon, and one end placed nnder the gas-pipe, while tbe other end stretched away to the spot where the ralvo was suspended between two high poles.

Beneath this canvas, straw was laid to tbe depth of several inches. These arrangements having been completed, tbe neck of the balloon w. drawn toward the pipe, valve-ropes, of small cotton eord, having been was placed over the pipe and drawn tightly, so as to be made quite secure. Over this other layers of cotton clotb were wrapped, and the whole lashed to the pipe witb strong twiue to the length of about if; inches. The balloon was then folded in such a wav as to gnduallv expand the case.

On the folds heavy bags of sand were placed to keep them down. This having been done, the network, which is to be thrown all over the balloon, and to which the basket and the boat, are to be attached, was so disposed that there might be no entanglement as the inflation proceeds and the balloon acquires its ascensive power. The gas was turned on at 12jf o'clock, and instantly rushed through the ten-inch pipe in a dense volume. In a very few seconds, the entire neck of the balloon was the body of the balloon began to swell. The precaution of stationing men all along the length of the balloon was by no means useless, as they had quite euough to do to remove the weights from places where the passage for the gas was too small, and so to adjust the folds of the cloth as to secure an equable passage throughout.

During four minutes the metre indicated that 7,600 cubic feet had been sujtplied to the atrial ship. At 12:25 the gas was again turned on, and at 12:35 it had reached the bead of the balloou, which began to expand. At the rate of cubic feet of gas per minute, the balloon ought to receive feet per hour; and as the capacity of the balloon is cubic feet, it follows that if the process of inflation was continued at the same rate, without interruption, it would be fully inflated in six hours and a half. The only drawback, and a great one, is that the supply of gas by the company would not be equal to the task, as it would not do to leave the city in darkness for the purpose af inflating a balloon. Mr.

Ijowe will, therefore, be compelled to take his gas in such quantities as tbe company choose to furnish. The process of inflation will be continued for some V. Tribune. Irish View op the Pope as a Temporal Archbishop of has addressed a letter to Palmerston, in which he say that the Catholics of Ireland revere the Roman Pontiff "as the successor of St. Peter, and the Vicar of Christ on earth, and will, therefore, show themselves ready not only to defend his spiritual authority over the entire world, but likewise to assert Uis temporal ns well as his spiritual power throughout the range of his own dominions.

They look upon tha: temporal power, "and uncontrolled, to be essential to the free exercise of his spiritual authority; nor shall they ever be content to see the holy father placed in a subordinate and position thatcould create a suspicion that his acts for regulating the spiritual interests of the Church might be elicited or controlled by the preponderating influence of France, or Germany, or Naples, or any other secular power." Shockikg Br rm.nc*.—A very distressing case occurred in lloiiewell on Saturday evening week, at the house of Mr. Joshua Blackwell. It appears that a young couple, whose names we did not learn, were sitting together by a warm stove. They both fell asleep, tiud while asleep the young lady's dress took fire. As soon as they awoke, the young man made every exertion to extinguish the fire, but without success.

The young girl rushed to the door enveloped in a sheet of flame, to the room of Mr. Blackwell, and came very near setting fire to the bed clothing. She then ran out, but wherever she ran the flames continued to burn, uutil the clothing was all consumed. She lived only a few hours aftewards. The young man was seriously damaged, and will probably be crippled in the hands for life.

Bradford got to the room, Scott had prostrate en the floor, choking ber, thumping her stomach with his knees, and declaring he meant to kill her. Bradford gave Scott several blows and kicks, and rescued the woman, who seemed to be much injured. She afterwinds complained much of h-r chest and throat, until she died, on the Ist of tfovernber. The owner of Priscilla testified that her general health, previous to this affair, had been very good. Dr.

An opening was discovered in the large artery or Wood vessel leading from tbe heart, and the Interior of this artery was considerably lacerated, lie presumed the immediate cause of death was the bursting of the vessel which allowed the blood to flow fo the heart. It would be dlfflcul'. to give an opinion to the connection tbe beating had with tbe disease which caused death.
