FIGHT YESTWRDAY—THE MILITARY ORDEBED-OUT, Bro. On Monday, the ship owners along the Hast and North rivers, wore thrown into s state of great ex- citement, caused by a strike of the riggers, steve- dores, and long-shore mon, who struck for higher ‘wages.

Although the above did not indicate a strike, yet on Monday, the 11th, one week after this notice appeared, the various riggers, long-shore men, &oc., employed on board the several ves- gels lying at the wharfs, struck for higher wages, and would not work unless it was acceded to. The wages they have been in the habit of re- Sciving is fourteen shillings per diem for riggers, and twelve shillings for ‘‘long-shore men.” The wages they demand now is $2 per day for riggers, and $1 76 for ‘“‘long-shore men.” Some of the leading merchants acceded to their demands, while the majority of them refused; the consequence was that all their ships were without hands to take in or dis- charge cargo. They then formed themselves in bands of from one to two hundred, and proceeded on board such vessels as had men working for the owners at lower wages, and commanded them to join them in the strike. Some of them refusing, were com- pelled to go with them by force, thus stopping all work, and preventing vessels from clearing which were nearly toaded. Large quantities of goods ‘were piled upon the docks, and left there all night. In gome instances the etrikers were very violen}, Hoteeding on board several vessels, and insultin, officers. A party of them procecded on boar: the clipper ship Green Point, Captain McCormack, lying at the foot of Beekman street, and ordered men on shore, which order not being attended to, li BE ii § they proceeded to acts of violence. They beat the captain in a shocking manner, and pitched the stovedore over tbe tide of the veasel. They also do- ae @ great portion of tho cargo by break- age, &o. Song the vessels who were placed in this predi- cament wag the Muscongus, which was taken posses- sion of, and the crew and what men were working on board wore driven ashore, thus stopping the work oa board that vessel large number of them went on board the ship Atlantic, lying at the foot of Wall street, and con- ducted themselves in ariotous manner. Those on the dock antackled the stevedores’ horses, compell- them to discontinue their work. This vessel was lying idle all day yesterday, the owners not ac- ceding to the demands of the workmen. The ship Western World, lying at the foot of Beekman street, was boarded by these men; but they were repulsed, and @ strong poiice force is sta- tioned on the dock, to protect the workmen who are | walling He Lid vid =, usual wages eC) r ship Fiyin; Wall Atel ag tor for ig any hands all day on Monday and yesterday, the goods being left out on the docks all night We understand that the owner of this vessel offered the men what wages they asked, but for somo reason or other they would not go to work. The ship F. W. Brune fared but little better than the rest. An attempt was made,.on the part of the rioters, to board the vessel and stop the men from working ; but here they ‘* caught a tartar,” for the | captain of the veerel pointed a pistol at the head of one of them, and said that if ho came on board his veesel ho would shoot him dead. So, finding that they could not make anything in those quarters, they retired, and left the ship and crew uamolested. mn the North river side there were several out- rages committed. Yesterday morning the: Canal street, and created some slight disturbance, but the police force being rather stronger than they liked, they departed without any further disturb- pce. Yesterday morning, a large body of them collect. ed in front of Messrs Grinnell, Minturn & Co’s of- fice, this being one of tho firms that would not ac- cede to their demands. Their feoling towards this house may easily be imagined. ‘he strikers have issued a paper, in which the merchants are to sign their names, egreeing to their demands. Some ot the leading houses have already ar it. Among those, we may mention the houses of E. D. Hurlbut & Co,O H. Marshall, line of Lit packets, &c. Those firms are not at any Joss, the men continuing to work, while those who wil! not accede tothe demands of the strikers, are placed in a very serious predicament, the demurrage on some vessels being very high It is the general opinion that the strikers will come off victorious, and that their demands will be complied with The strikers complain greatly against the head stevedores, to whom they have to pay one shilling per dey out of their wages. They say that they ‘will not work for less than the termsannounced, and that the merchants will have to comply with their | A great number of these | domands in a few diys men are intimidated from working, and are com- poe to join the ranke of the disafiected workmen. 't is supposed that they will keop themselves quiet, as there is a strong police force on the gronnd. The greater portion of the riggers havo had thoir demands acceded to, and are at work accordingly ; but the great mass of the ‘ ’long-shore-men” aro without employment, aud it is thos» men who havo committed the depredations on board the vesgels. THE STAT OF THINGS YESTERDAY. The sullen murmur existing amongst the men, at an early hour in the morning, caused his honor the Mayor, and the Chief of Police to take the necessa- ry measures of precaution. A force of three hun- red officers was detailed for special duty upon and around the wharves and piers of the North and East rivers, having special care to those situate in the First and Second wards. They were under the com mand of the chiof captains and assistant captains and were upon their beats at an early hour. The excited state of feeling indulged in by the mon on strike, was visible, and the police took care not to add to it. At nine o clock in the forenoon, thoy found it necessary to disperse a number of men near pier 8, East river, which was exocuted without any collision, as the workmen went off. At avout one o’olock in the afternoon, some men went to work loading a steamer lying at pier No. 14, East river, when a body, numbering nearly two hundred men, aceembled in a moment, and immediately proceeded tostopthem. The sections and platoons of police near came up, when a sharp brush onsued; tho officers | had to uso their clubs pretty freely, both to protect he men willing to work avd thomselves, aad the result was that they arrested three mon, namod James Tyrrell, Daniel Coleman, and Wm Kiancy, whom they lodged in the First ward station houso Kinney has got badly out inthe head At three d’olock, a crowd collected at the foot of Maidoa lane, but it was dispersed without much difficulty yy the police. His Honor the Mayor and Chief lateell visited the rivers, North and East, along shore, during nearly four hours of theday We undor- atand that after the brigado review in Tompkin’s equare D pai ay A orders were given to the Na ‘tional Guards to bold themeelves in readines: to tuyn out upon a given sig bell, at any moment during the night.

Leh port yesietday utternocn for Uarans amd Ocloams, We with the case before the arrival of Alderman Stur- tevant It was decided to wait ten minutes; but soon after that decision was come to, the Alderman entered the room, and Me. Davis rose, and said he had been selected by a portion of the citizensj to address the committee on the subject of a railroad in Broadway. The par- ties for whom he appeared were large owners of “property in that great thoroughfare, aad other citi- zens of New York. He would have wished that his clients had obtained an abler advocate, but as he bad been selected, he would not make any excuses. The mts brought before the committee on rede a favor of the petitioners for the railway, was ly & vel one. But at the same time, ho (Mr. Davis) would be able to show that that argument was jtieal and short sighted. Bo- fore proceeding, however, he wished to kvow what the exact duties of the committee were. Was it in- tended to entertain a plan, or to hear plans diseuss- ed, and then to decide on a certain plan? The CuamMan (Alderman Svurtevant )—The gentlemen of this committee have read the resolu- tion of the Common Council, and know what there duty is All they have to do is, to hear ergumenta on both sides, a8 toallowing a railroad in Broad- way. You have no right to make any other suppo- sition. Mr. Davis—I understand Dae? duty was to decide on some certain railway in Broadway. Cuamman—If you have nothing to nt to the question, our course is plain; but ise have, you had better tay 20 This committee here to Teport on the advisabilityjof a.zailway in Broadway, and to hear GL wore Mr. Davis—That is what I’suppored; but I want to know, in case any Aen is adopted, whether or not we will be heard again in opposition to that plan. CHarmMaN—That is an after matter. We willat present con6ne ourselves to. the general proposition, and then afterwards wo will take into consideration tho three or four plans whieh have been propounded. We will take those 50) ee Mr. Dayis—We know of no other plan than the one now before you. CHAIRMAN—' it proposition, I say again, sir, is the advisability of a way in \way—> no further. Mr. SuLLIVAN—We have only displayed a plan in, order to show that sueh a result be rh Lory CHainMan—We aze here to consider ofallowing a railway in bel Mr Rony aN— at plan reforzed to was to show how a railroad could be ad id. down, ; leaving open the questien of chan, in whatever way the committe may deem adyasable. The plan I showed meets with my entire approval, but some of my associates disagree with that opinion. That is not the essential point, for our only wish | was to show the benefits derizabie from a railway in Broadway. Mr. Frznb--We only propose now to run a rail- way froma certain point to another covtaia maint and | out for the present any exact detuils of plans. We do not, at present, say what exact las we ee conform to, whether to run xear the sid walk. Mr. Davis—That is my plan. CHaimman—Do not interrupt, sir. Let Mr. Field address the committee. Mr. F1gLD resumed—The gentleman should have known all the points of the case before this, for a letter was sent to him from my aseociates long ago. Mr. Davis again interrup:ed, bus was calied to | order. He, however, went on to say that his object was to gain information, and he did not expect that the matter would be choked down. CuairmMan—There is no choking, sir. The com- mittee is here to listen to arguments. Now, don’t use that word in reference to the committee. Wo want to hear the arguments fairly. Mr. Davis—A_ petition has been presented from Messra. Sharpe, Menzies, Martin, and others, for a railway from the South ferry to Manhattanville, and @ plan was shown you on Saturday, on a mahogany board, with tin pots and other things. CuatrMan—The Committee know nothing about that plan, as to wheuce it came, and from whom. We are not to consider that plan. Mr Davis—Did not Mr. Sullivan argue on that Fish, lying at the foot of | whether here or in the State, that it is usual for jan Francisco, was without | pro- | ceeded to E. K. Collins's steamships, at the foot of | which he had addressed to them, they declared ac- trom the City Hall | plan, as counsel fer the petitioners ? | CHamman—We cannot be certain that he was a | representative of those petitioners, any more than | we can be sure you are what you represent your- | self. We tako it for granted that he was Mr. Davis—I have always understood that in all cases where a scheme is proposed by any party, such parties to state the particulars of the plans, and not to throw any cloak over them, and thus | enable the Legislattre to look fairly at tho matter. The present petitioners have thrown a cloak over their intentions, so as‘to give us aad the commtitee more trouble. New, I wish to understand exactly the fact. Where is this proposed railway to run from, and where to end ? CrairMan—Who do you put your question to ? Mr. SULLIVAN rose to say that the railroad was to run from the South ferry to Manhattanville After some further oonversstion, Mr. Davis en- tered into an argument to show tho impolicy and | the injustice of allowing a railway to traverse | Broadway. Beperiing the declaration made by che | petitioners that they had no exact plan, he coasi- dered it a subterfuge; for, in answer to a letter | quiescence in, and referred him to, tho articles signed ** Pro Bono Publico.” | CuainMan—We have nothing to do with ‘Pro | | Bono Publico.” Mr Davis again resumed; but as ho spoké at | at Messrs. Field and Sullivan, who sat next | | him, the chair called him to order. He again | | resumed, and observed that plans for railways in | Broadway had been fifteen years before the publiv. | He could himself detail many plans of his own, but he would not trouble the committee. Now, as to | the question of accommodating the public, he con- idered that there was no want of accommodation. Any man, for sixpence, could travel miles and milos; | and that was the true democratic way o: vollin, | He (Mr. Davis) travelled, and liked it; and so did | every sensible man. It wasa comfort to sit in an | omnibus; but if the railways were to be all in vogue, @man would bo squeezed into one seventh | of the space he ought to ooeany Every one would | dislike that, and particularly aldermen. hoy | were told that cars on rails would be pulled easier by horses than omnibuges could; but he, as an en- | the : ‘Whe Great " ‘The increase in the number of the visiters’ te-the exhibition ‘in- Caste Garden, (whtch-we noticed yeaterday,) is becoming moro-apperont every: | lending to the whole place aad its imm ‘ borbood an-exocedingly busy air.

THE AMERICAN INSPITUTR AND ROCKLAND COUNTS AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY RAIR AND PLOUGHING MATOH. This society held its. annual fair in the village. of Nyack, on the Hudson rit on Priday and day last. There wasa phd display of cattle, fat. sheep, and other farming stock. We are the exhibition exceeded any of former years. There was tlsa.a full dlaplay of fruits, and, other agricultural il peomeeniee bing bibg 4 pha stohes, in conj pt lou; B matohos, ion with Bean Bocioty, on the iran avers the village, southwest from the landing. On the arrival of the boat at Nyack in the fere- aoon, nie omnes of - sree eee we 16 aa! e mee hoaded SaaS Pay, £ a Conger, State Senator, accom Hugh Maxwoll, country seat in Rockland county, near the village of Nyack, and a large and fine farm of someone hun- dred and twenty acres or more. The.whele compa-. ny, with many of the citizens of Rockland, were es- corted to the grove by society and citizens, where the committee of the American Instituto wore weloomed bya short and pertinent addroas from the tton Hugh Maxwell, which was respond- ed to by Shepherd Knapp, Exq., on behalf of the American Institute. The company then proceeded to the ploughin; and spading grounds, and hero was a large fiel filled with people, and competitors earnest for the contest and prizes. Ten or moro entries wera made for the ploughing. match. All made an effort to win the prizes, but the rules only allowed three prewiums---one a silver cup, valued at fifteen dollars; the second a silver oup, valued at ten dollars; and the third a silver medal. ‘We were not 20 fortunate as to get the particu- Jars of the match, 80 as to state accurately who were the successful eompetitors in the ploughing match; but we never saw ploughing dene so woll at any fair we heve before attended. The time was one hour, and the teams were both horses and oxen. Each ploughman did bis work without a driver. All started at the same time on asignal given. The ploughing being done, tha ol of ploughs came off by the Dynometer. The ploughs wero drawn through the Roane by cattle and horse teams, and the ploughs that cut the widest and motion, were pronounced the best model. Tho spading match attracted a very large congre- ation of ladies and gentlemen to the ring in which sage lot was laid off—twenty feet long by ten wide. Henderson obtained the first premium—a silver cup, valued at ten dollars. James Malosey took the second premium—a silver cup valued at eight dollars. Thomas Daily took the third presaiam—a silver medal Henderson was from Newtown, Long Island, and Maloney and Daily wero from Nyaol. The time for spading was one hour; the spading deep. On the close of the spading and ploughing matches, and the testing of ploughs, the citizeus and the committee of tho American Institute retarned to the grove, where the successful competitors of the premiums were anounced by Mr. A Nash to the Rockland Society and the citizens, who had as- sembled in great numbers. cultural Society, three for the American [nstituto, and three for the ladies of Rockland coun'y, with hearty good will An address was delivered at the grove to close formance. The American Institute delegation and the citi- | zens of Rockland wore invited to partake of a dinner provided at the hotel in the village, at the expense of the Rockland Society. The refreshments being over, the citizens of New York, Long Island, Nev Jersey, and the delegation of the American Insti- delighted with the transactions of tho day This fair speaks well for Rockland county, which | is of far more importance to our agriculture than | has been generally given to Rockland The soil of | this county is warm, ofa volcanic tormation, restin; on marl.

He (Mr Davis) con- | sidered the whole scheme of running a railroad along | | Broadway as @ money-making adventure, and he | | could pot see on what grounds a monopoly | | should be panied to a body of mon, to the injary | of those who had made a livelihood by the sweat of their brow, ond served the publis well and faith fully. It would have been well if Mr. Sullivan had captured Cuba. for, in that case, the presentscheme | would never have been heard of. He made this por- | Sonal allusion, as he considered it only a quid pro | quo for Mr Mr. Sullivan having mentioned a conver- sation which be had had with him, and which was | considered as strictly private Mr. SULLIVAN explained that the conversation he Lh ae a was not the one roferred to by Mr. avis Ajter some conversation, Mr. Davis resumed, and | declared that Broadway war not 42 foot =H all along, as declared by the petitioners, for at the cor- | | ner of Rector street he had examined i¢ twive, and found that the width was only 33 feet 9 inches. Blood and thunder ! (Laughter ) Cuarraan —You are excited, Mr. Davis. Mr. Davis—Oh! no sir, I am cooling down. (Laughter ) Mr Hatcut rose to read some statistical tables which showed the danger which would result if tho | railway was allowed of, for 25 vehicles cross Broadway per minute. and collisions would be al most unavoidable if the railway cars travelled at 9 miles an hour, which rate was shown, by tho peti- | tionors themeelves, to be absolutely necassary. | Mr. Davis made a few more remarks, af:er whi sh | the chairman adjourned the caso to Tuesday next | College of Physicians cat | Surgeons.

Particulars of the late Balloon Excursiem. BY, ONS OF THEmamry. After rising majestically to the height of nearly two miles, we looked down upon a view, the grandest which it is possible for the imagination to coaceive. Apparently juat below us, were situated the towns of Bridgeport and Stratford, nestling among trees colored with all the variod.bues of autumn, while, in every direction, the.coantry was spread out be- foro us to the distance of fifty, sixty, or even seventy miles. Lost in wonder and admiration, wo beheld the Housatonic and the Conneotiout, like streams ef silver, winding through woods and fields; the Greem Mountains, looming up,till they mingled with the clouds; and the Sound, emooth as a mirror of polished steel, dotted from end to end with little vessels no longer than your hand. We particulary observed a brilliantly. white thread of foam, streteh- ing aoross.the Sound, caused, no doubt, by the meet- ing. of tides, and we wore also etruck with the admi- ral cultivation and uniformity of the lands be- neath us, with their little white cotta, atteched.
