The ‘ present enforce quiet, but bayonets of Avmvoloxno will only burst out, more fariously from the care which has been taken to | close every aperture-to slop every vent-hole. Scone of the present affair was Rimini, and a glance at another column wall show that it was wretchedly J, ond miserably carried out. ‘The Paris journals announce another isolated and ill-contrived attempt to bring about a revolution in the States of the Church. It appears that, on the 2th of September, an insurrection broke out at | Rimini, in which certain of the inhabitants, aod some Spanish and Piedmontese refugees were 1m- plicated Onthe night of the 24th about one hun- dred of these refugees landed near Kimini. The insurgents immediately proceeded to the fort of San Deo, situated at a short distance trom the town, and in whieh they are supposed to have had partizans. They penetrated into the fort, and set at liberty the political prisoners, who were very numerous They next entered Rimini, where they stopped the courtiers, and carried off the despatches. —The Cardinal Kegate of Forli immediately sent troops to Rimini. On the 7th, at their ap- proach, the insurgents, who, without doubt had found no eupport in the people of the town and en- ne, hastily quitted Rimini, after abandoning their arms; some of them re-embarked, the others took retuge in the mountains.

Accounts from Constantinople to the 17th ultimo mention « general beliet that a second battle had been fought between the Russians and Circassians, in whieh the former were defeated. The particu- ire thus stated :—** Schamul, the gallant and ac- | e leader of the Circassians, unexpectedly attack- he Russians in their camp, and after a short but ‘ bloody struggle Count Woronzoff was forced 1in to retreat, in order to reach a more favora- ble position. This he appears to have effected, but im the retreat he lost an immense number of men, The number of men killed is not ex- actly known, but it may be judged from the fact that 180 officers have perished, among whom were one yeneral officer, two of Count Woronzott’s aides-de- camp, and an aide-de-camp of General Gluck. The | Circassians also got possession of four pieces of ar- nilery, and the greater portion of the Russian stores and ammuninon. The Circassians, after this victo- ry, committed great excesses. They ravaged the country, destroyed the villages, and carried off a number of the inhabitants to the mountains as mers.

Hurdly had the Russian anguard began to display the first files of its | battahons, when the mountaineers, under the shelier of the entrenchments which they had made upon all the elevated points, be- gan to roll down enormous stones upon the aggressors. This proceeding threw disorder | into the ranks, and wounded # great number of men. The Russians were beginning to give way, but at the voice of their officers they again rushed impetuously tocumbat. At length, after extraordi- nary eflorts, they sueceeded in taking possession of the entire chain of hillsand forutied mounts, with the exception of one position, from which a dreadful | fire of musketry was kept up. This point could not arried untul the following day. The Circassians cid not abandon it until they were at the last extre- rity, and then, as at Dargo, they retired in good order, leaving about 100 dead behind them. The tussian troops displayed rare intrepidity in this af- fai’, but the result is not of a nature to compensate the check of Prince Weronzow at Dargo. Famine in Russta.—-The Courrier Frangais pub- Jishes the following letter from Konigsburg, of the 18th of September :— Famine is_ much more se- | verely feltupon the Russian frontier than in our neighborhood. Hundreds of Russian peasants, driven by hunger, cross the frontier, and plunder | our fields. In order to prevent these acts of spoli- | ation, the government will be obliged to station troops in that quarter. If the Russian Government does not speecily come to the relief of those unfor- tunate beings, they will absolutely perish from star- | vation, They are so wretched, that the parents compel their children, at a very early age,to quit the | paternal roof, and provide for themselves as well as they can.’” { Imports axp Exrorrs or Russia.—The St. Pe- | tersburgh Journal publishes the official returns ot | the exports and imports of Russia for 1843. The ex- ports amounted to 32,565,600 silver roubles, and the imports to 73,028,399 silver roubles.

A Coroner's jury was empannelled this forenoon, and under the direction ct Coroner Pratt, proceeded to ex- amive the body, and the premi-es in which the deed was perpetrated—a preliminary step to the Inquest, whicn will take place at the Court House, to- morrow, at o'clock. The scene of the murder is a small two story brick hot darlane, between Cedarand Charles ‘streets, occ wife, who have lived there something like twent: years, For some years past, as we unierstand, ¢ premises have been used as & house of assignation rooms being kept forthe accommodation ol those in the hahit ot visiting it. i The body, that of a young and beautiful fem of 28 reast, heet which had been pied by Mr. Joel Lawrence and ve or 24; was lying on the floor, covered all but the head and feet, with @ bloody thrown over it. She lay on her back close to the grate, with the head turned over on the ht The head was thrown back, exposing a ghastly and terrible cut from eartoear. The jugulur vein and windpipe, were entirely severed, the razor which the murderer used having entered to the bone. Her hair was partly con- sumed, and her face charred and blackened by the action of the fire. The door of the house being unlocked on the arrival of the Coroner’s Jury, they proceeded up one pair of stairs, to the room in which the murder was committed ; and the view was most appalling—inconceivably so to any one who was not there to see it. The room, which was a small sized bed room, inthe rear of the house, inthe second story, contained frag- ments of burnt clothing strewed about, and the walls were spattered with blood—probably done when she was dragged from the bed and thrown uponthe floor. A chair standing near the head of the bed, contained a pool of blood. We gathered from a conversation with Mr and Mrs Lawrence, and a girl in the house, that they were awak- ened about five o'clock this morning, by a shi stairs, and a heavy fall, which apparently jarred the house; immediately after, and before they were hardly awake, a person came down stairs, slipped in tho haste, and fell, but recovered, and rushed out of the front door. ‘The family then smelt fire, and going up to the room, found it filled with flame and smoke. The fire was set in three different places—the bed which the murdored woman had occupied—the closet containing her dresses, and a bed in an adjoining bed room, which was unoccupi- is burnt. Against the door of the front bed room, occupied by a girl who lives there, a pile of bed clothes had been placed and then set on fire ~it seems to have been the intention of the murderer to bury all evidence of his fiendish deed, in the conflagra- fen: of the house and death of its occupants. ‘Fae name of the murdered woman was Meria A Bick- ford. She was of slight, graceful figure, and vei beautiful. She has been married, but has not lived witl her husband for some tir ast. fe is ashoemaker by trade,and was lately in the employ of Mr. Smith,in Cam- bridge street. He is now in Bangor, where this ill-fated woman formerly belonged. Aletter was found in the room addressed A. J. T. to M. A.B. Alsoa pair of men’s drawers, cane and stock- ing, and a bunch ofkeys. Dr. Moriarty, who was pre- sent at the examination, said it was impossible for her to move after she received the death wound, and he must have dragged her from the bed. In the straw bed under lta she slept, a bunch of matches were found nearly burnt up. Sdapnigns amounting almost to certainty, are fixed upon Albert J. Tirrell as the murderer, though he has not yet been arrested. ‘Tirrell was arrested some time since, at New Bedford, on a charge of adultery, and was lately discharged, having compromised the matter. He ia said to be @ native of Weymouth, in this State.— Boston Mail, Oct, 27. ‘Annexed are further particulars: — ‘A jury of inquest visited the premises inthe forenoon at half past 11 o’clock, and found the room, which is on the sxcond floor, in’much cqnfusion.

Tho jugular and windpipe were cut, and the throat entirely lain open.

She formerly lived in the vicinity of Bangor, and was mar- tied to emaker by the name of Bickford. About three years since she left her husband and came to this city, where she has lived a life of dissoluteness, and has attracted much attention in our streets.

The English News. We give to-day our usual full and careful synop- sis of the news bronght from Europe by the last steamer, the Great Western. All the important de- tails, political, commercial, social, literary, theatri- cal, and so on, will be found under their respective heads. The railway mania still rages in England, and | that isthe first thing which strikes us on looking | Over our files of English papers. All classes of the community are still rushing into railroad specula- | tion with the most feverish intensity. Side by side with this grand feature in the newa, we have intelli- | gence confirmatory of allthe anticipatioms relative | | tothe bad harvests in Great Britain. A rise in | breadstufts and decline in the price of cotton, have | been of course the results. The concurrence of two such singular and contradictory movements, may produce a moneyed convulsion in England ; in- deed, we do not wellsee how such a catastrophe can be averted. If those who are at the head of financial | affairs do not manage their institutions and opera- | tions with the greatest caution, a terrible revulsion | mustvery speedily occur. In the meantime, while the | speculative movement is progressing with extraor- dinary rapidity, and producing the most singular ‘ and astonishing effects in various ways, the defi- | ciency in the crops must soon begin to cave in their | moneyed operations. One of the most striking re- | sults of this speculative mania, is seen in the fact that in the London Times establishment alone, a weekly revenue of $25,000 is accruing from the rail- way advertisements. The last number of Black- wood’s Magazine, by the way, contains an ar- ticle which illustrates, in a very felicitous manner, the roguery, imposture, and perjury, which are amongst the most prodigal fruits of this extraordinary mania in Great Britain. The day of reckoning appears, indeed, to be rapid- ly approaching. Yet, doubtless, the commercial and speculative movement going on in England and France, will have a most potential effect on the minds of men and on moneyed affairs in this coun- try. With regard to the United States, the same feel- ing of hostility prevails in England, on account of Texas and Mexico, but not to the same extent as formerly. Indeed, O’Connell and his clique in Ire- | land appear to monopolize the subject of abuse of | the United States. Both father and son are busily engaged in making speeches against this country, relative to slavery, Oregon, Texas annexation, and everything else that 1s peculiar to our policy and progress. The bitterness of the O'Connell family towards the United States is quite amusing and | i our institutions is making itself most seriously felt in Ireland, in opposition to the mercenary views and operations of the “big beggarman.” Every week, Irishmen in this country,who enjoy the privi- lege of citizenship in this free land, and who, by honest and honorable toil and exertion, are reaping in their native country, such accounts and such ar- sive form of solid dollars—of the superior excellence \ successfully neutralizes all his efforts to depreciate | this land of freedom. One thing, at all events, is | certain, O'Connell is no friend of freedom. the old corrupt systems of Church and State, he is ! the constant and fulsome eulogist.

Whether this sentiment will animate the Mi- nistry or affect the opinions of Sir Robert Peel, is, however, very doubtful. Mr. Powk’s Course purina tHe CominG Session. —The time is rapidly approaching when the Houses of Legislation of the United States will again as sem le in Washington, to deliberate over the state | of the country, and take some decided course in the | prominent questions which have lately been so much | before the people. The tone that Mr. Polk and his cabinet may as- | sume on this occasion, is one which will have a con- | siderable influence; and viewing them in this light, | they are looked for with much impatience by the | leacers of both parties. From undoubted sourees | at Washington, we are enabled to lay before our | readers an accurate synopsis of the probable course that will be taken; and as regards the occupation of the Oregon Ternitory, we are assured that Mr. Polk will take a stand in this matter, in accordance with the opinion he has already expressed in his inaugu ral address. He will assert the clear and unques- tionable right of the Republic of the United States to the whole of this Territory, by virtue both of their being the first discoverers of it, as algo the first occupants, independent of all treaties. It will be remembered, that his inaugural address wherein he made assertions similar to these, created an immense } i | made in regard to it. As they were so belligerent on that occasion, it remains to be seen what further excitement in Europe this new declaration of Mr. Polk will cause. As regards the question of the tariff, it will be a subject fully entered into by the President,and there isno doubt that many important changes will be proposed. Some talk is heard of negotiations, whereby @ system of mutual tariffs, which would be beneficial both to this country and England, may be entered into; but on this quegtion,in consequence of the immense variety of interests that have to be coneiliated, the action of Congress is not much reg- ulated by the suggestions of the President. | For some time past, we understand, propositions | have been made to the Secretary of State,the objects | of which were to leave the Oregon question to the | derision of a third party, or umpire, who should be | called in, but the offer has been declined by the | American government; and despatches from the | British Legation, at Washington, will go out in the Great Britain this day, in which this result will be commumieated to the English government.

Thi Great Whig Meeting In Front of National Hall Tretaondous Conflict Between the Fourterite Section and the Old Whigs— Grand ernives af et National Hall and its vicinity was the scene last vening of one of the most ludicrous, lamentable, idiculous, funny, and curious pol demonstra- tions that the annals of party politics and mass meet- ings have on record. The whigs called a public meeting for the purpose of receiving the report of the whig nominating commitiee for Register and members ot Assembly, and responding to the dis- | trict nomination of Luther Bradish for Senator.— All very proper and praiseworthy objects in them- selves, undoubtedly. Upon arriving at the Hall we found quite a re- were informed by a person acting as doorkeeper, | concert, by Mr. Powers, at which the Hon.

A stage, however, was erected on the steps ot the French Chapel opposite, and at about 8 | o’clock the meeting was called to order under the canopy of heaven. About two thousand people had assembled, and bonfires burned brightly in the | fifes, “ discoursed most eloquent music.” | ‘The following gentlemen were chosen o} - eee ae Ri les, Denning Duer, Hi King, Re ney, Henry Ruggles, Denning Duer, Harman King, Ro- bers B. ieee tered L.

The Whigs had been beaten at last vlection, but he hoped a different fate now it= ed them. If they did not succeed, they would at least have the consciousness of knowing that they ought to.— Mr. Hone continued for some time to speak of the hopes of the party. When he sat down loud cries were heard for Horace Greely, who at length took the stand. Mr. Greely said he was instructed to report the result of the Whig Nominating Committee in the form of an address, which he would now read.

Bear with us, Fellow-Citizens, while we remind you of some of the more important issues involved in the com ing contest. We sk youto remomber that the Tex: iniquity is yet unconsummated, and that its conditions may be essentially modified if it not bo averted by the healthful pulsations of an aroused nation- alconscience. At all nts, the scheme of bullying Mexico into the surrender of that large portion of her rightful and actual territory lying East of the Rio del Norte, including poptlogs cltivs and extensive re- gions never embraced in the province of Texas and never seen by a Texan except as a spy ora prisoner, may be defeated by a seasonablo exhibition of the moral sentiment of the nation. We have seen in New Hampshire, the most decidedl, itter locofoco State in the Union, that, on a fair issue of Annexation or no Annexation, ‘the people have twice rendered verdicts distinctly against the scheme. Could the ques- tion be presented with equal distinctness elsewhere, we doubt not that every Free State, no matter of what poli- tics, would render a similar judgment. And yet party discipline, and a confused blending of issues have ena- bled the Executive to drive the measure through Con- gress by a bare majority of votes. Let public opinion now seem averse to the consummation, and it will either be prevented or rendered far less obnoxious inits condi- tions. Let supineness and apathy be generally mani- fested, and the boundai of Texas will be indefinitety extended, at the hazar need be, of war, while so much of her public she sees fit to have paid at all tan will be saddled upon the Treasury of the Union.

Nothing of reat importance had transpired since the last advices. ‘he Packet of the 234 promises in its next numbera full history of uffairsat La Plata, compiled frem au‘hentic documents, and gives some of the latest official commu- nications trom the Bri and French Ministers, to Au- ust 4. On the 18th, Goy. Rosas sont a message to the gislature, communicating the diplomatic correspon- dence, which was read in the presence of a great crowd of citizens. All the acts of the Governor were approved in the most unqualified terms a determination was manifested to sustain the independence and honor of the Repu’ at all hazards, and the government was charged to d mand reparation from Her Britannic Majenty. aud the King of the French, for the offences to the honor and sovereignty of the confederation, and to the iutorests of the country, by the proceedings of the naval forces of England and France, under the authority of their Minis- ter: ere is no mention made of any amicable arrang ment between the European intermeddlers avd President Oribe, as was intimated in a letter from Buenos Ayres of August 12th. The Packet of the 16th contains a revised copy of the memorial of the British residents at Buenos Ayres, to Earl Aberdeen, the British Secretary of Fo eign Affairs. Tho memorial recapitulates the privileges which its signers have enjoyed under the government of Rosas, and deplores the armed intervention of the Bri- tish government in the local quarrel botween Buenos Ayres and Montevideo. ‘A decree of Rosas, of August 4, recognizes Joseph Graham, Esq,,a3 the United States Consul at Buenos Ayres, and on the 19th, Mr. Graham, at the request of Capt. Nicholson, of schooner Enterprise, and Capt. Hand ot brig Tweed, of Baltimore, wrote a note to Captain Hotham, of H. B.M. steam sloop Gorgon, thanking him and his surgeon for their kindness and attention to two American seamen, one from each of tho ahove vessels, who had accidentally received wounds and injuries. .- ‘Tho reply of Capt, Hotham, written on the 2int, states that as masters of British merchantmen would, in the absence of ships-of-war of their own nation, seek surgi- cal advice and assistance from national vessels of the United States, he was happy to confor a similar favor and that both himself and Surgeon Niddrie were glad of the opportunity to render assistance to their fellow men. We copy a few paragraphs from the Packet :— We forbear all comments on the supercilious tone of the notes addressed by Near Admirals Lane and Ingle- field to President Oribe, and on the disgraceful distortion of facts and rancorous animosity against the Argentine government, displayed by M Ousely and Deffaudis, and their vain attempt to gild over their arbitrary pro- gs. The ministers have entirely thrown off the mask, and openly declare themselves tho protectors and panegyrists of the foreign mercenaries, who, with 400 Orientals in Montevideo, pretend to represent the soy- reignty of the Oriental people On the 9th inst.. the Nationa! brig Fanny from the porte of Sarate in the Parana, bound here, was boarded in the outer roads, by an officer of TI. B. M's. steomer Gorgon, who, after enquiring the name of the vessel, ordored tae master to haul down the Argentine flag. which the Jal declining to do, the officer hunself performed the opt tion, and hoisted English colors instead, sending the ma: ter and crew o: ore. We bolieve that this scandalous proceeding has been disavowed by the commander of the steamer, and that it is now stated that the whole transaction was a mistake—a very satisfactory apology, indeed ! When we announced a short time since the Vandalio irroption of Mascarilia into the Province of Santa Fe, we d that the invaders would be soon arrested in eer of depredation aud bloodshed. We had been fully borne out by the event, for, on the 24 inst., the city of Santa Fe was reseaed from the handa of those banditti, and the horde itself put to flight, alter losing 150 men in the encounter, General Echagne continued in close pursuit, and eptertainea a very guine hope of overtaking Mascarlia in the deserts of tite Chaco, par ticularly as the friendly Indians had carried of his spure orses. Foreign Much has been writen, receutly, on the charac- ter and posivion of our toreigu Coneuls, and the a pointments of some descanted upon pretty freely ; bat with how much justice, am not prepared to say. Stul, this should not be a party question, as ever one who has been absent from the country feels how insignificant our party squabbles are, compared to the honor and dignity of the nation to which he belongs. He does not, abroad, recognise in the Consul the representative of a party, but the repte- sentative of his country, and as such, relies on his | advice and counsel ia all cases of emergency where the dignity of his country, or the rights of its citi- zens, ure involved. But how mortifying is it to a man of true American feeling, should he have ocea- sion fer the services of that functionary, in a fo- reign country, to find hima native of that country, and devoted to its interests, and perhaps imbue with all the prewidiaes which naturally arise from an ardent attachment to his country, and, of aecessity, ignorant of the simplest duties appertaining to his office. Circuinstances of this character | have wit nessed more than oace, where [ was satisfied that ight be remedied by a little attention on the part of government. It is not my intention to point out individuals at this time, but merely to re- late some circumstances in connection with our consular system in Mexico, which will serve as an illustration to the many abuses, in other parts, so re- cently made public. Having been more or less in Mexico for the last ten yeurs, I have necessarily come in centact with many of our Consuls, most of whom are very worthy men; some, however, have no definite idea of their duties or responsibili- ties, being natives of that country ; and an eminent merchant of Yucatan informed me that Mexican ag- gression on our commerce was more owing to this defect, than any thing else. I recollect a vessel be- ing sefzed at Sisal, and confiscated, for a slight in- formality in her papers; the Consul there was a Mexican ; another was sacrificed at Campeachy on # bottomry bond ; the Consul there was alsoa Mex- ican. During this time, an English brig was seized onthe coast of Yucatan for smuggling, and the clearest proof exhibited. Mark the difference — The British Consul interfered, and she was |ibera- ted, although clearly forfeited by the laws of all civil- ized nations, Jt is true, we are now (or were) get- ling a tardy remuneration. the shape of instal- ments, for these spoliations; but would it not be better to remove the cause of the evil, and adopt a. more efficient system as it regards appointments of this character? But, says the government, Amen. cans, in_many instances, cannot be found to fiil these offices. Very well; American interests are much better sustained without a Consul under such circumstances; as in case of necessity, the captain of a vessel has it in his power to chose upright mer- | chants for his counsel,which, in the present wretah- ed system, he cannot do. 1am not one of those who wish to charge upon the Government every evil of this kind, as it is no doubt imposed upon by false pretenses, in ert instances, where it seeks to remedy the evil; asl have known persons bear. ing the name of Americans, supersede othera, and the evil aggravated tenfold. Suill, a little more eir- cumepection on the part of the Government would no doubt lessen the abuse; for nothing is more mor- tifying to a man who possesses some national pride, than to find an ignoramus the representative of his country, where he hoped to find inteliiyence and virtue, and to hear the sarcastic remarks from hie foreign associates, you have got an American Con- sul now! and what would be thought it I should pursue this picture still further, and say that [ had seen a Conaul, three monthe after his arrival at hie vort of destination, arrested; and brought before the Aleaide for a petty debt; but what would be the sur- prise if | should add, that for the same cause I had seen him brought belore the Alcalde three times in three weeks? and yet this is literally true. This man had resided in this country something over five years previous to his appointment, which is every way worthy of Tyler’s sagacity.
