The Metropolis in a Blaze of Glory, he, be, ke Riot in the Ninth Ward. A STAGE DRIVER BEATEN IN A HOKRIBLE MANNER— ONFLICT BETWEEN THE HIBERNIAN SOCIETIES AND THE POLICEK—A NUMBER BADLY INJURED ON BOTH SIDES— ARREST O¥ THIRTY-SEVEN RIOTERS. Between ten aud eleven o’clock on the morning of the 4th of July, a very exciting disturbszce, resulting in a ‘general riot and fight, took place inthe Ninth ward at the corner of Troy and Hudson streets, in which several of the Tibernian societies, called the ‘Ancient Order of Hibernians’’ formed a very conspicuous part. At one time several hundred men were engaged in the riot, hurling stores and other missiles at the police. ‘A number of the citizens in the immediate vicinity aided | the police in quelling the riot, many of whom, as we!l as ‘the policemen, received severe cuts on the head, and bruised limbs. Ose of Kipp and Brown’s stage-drivers, by the name of Edwin J. Carpenter, was very seriously and cruelly beaten by a number of the Hibernian Society, the injuries of which way yet prove fatal. ‘The origin of the rfot was in consequence of a stage driver, Carpenter, passing his stage across the line of the Hibernian procersion. The Marshal, James Sanders, who ‘was on horseback ordered the stage drriver to back, ‘but it was impossible for him to do so, a8 his thorses were fiightened at the fire works, crack ers, &c, Several of the members of the Hibernian So ciety then sprang upon thebox of the stage and beat him in a ehookingly brutal manner, leaving him oa the street for dead. A lad of some fifteen years of age, whose mame we could not learn, was also very severely beaten and s'amped upon by the excited Hibernians. Word was dispatched to the Ninth and Sixteenth ward police station ‘houses for assistance, as the rumor became universal that the stage driver was killed, the people fm that neiga. Dorhood became interested and excited, and rendered aid to ‘the police. Lieuts. Seabring aud Taft, of the Ninth ward police, with a platoon of men, numbering about twenty in alll arrived at the scene of riot, and eon after Capt. Ste- venson o! the Sixteenth ward police, slso with a platoon ‘of men, and the contest then begun, the police would amake an arrest and the society would rally around che Officers and effect a rezcue—curing which the policemen ‘were in many oases roughly handled, as tha Hibernians armed themselves with cart rang, sticks, &c. Lieut Seabring received a violent blow from a paving stone on the forehead which knocked him down, and a; he lay one of ihe Hibernians was in the act, with » cart rung uplifted, just about inflicting posi ly » fatal blow, a butcher of Jefferson market, who came to the agsistancs of the police, struck the Hibernian under the ear with ‘bis fists, which knccked him over ou one side, and thus saved Lieut. Seabring from the violence intended. Many instances of this character toek place during the fight. ‘The police ultimately, with the aid of two fire companies, and other residents, succeeded in subduing the riot, and the Hibernians beat a retreat down Hudson street to Ca nal street. One or two of their banaers were demolished during the disturbance. The police eueceeded in captur. ing near forty of the rioters, allof whom bore the strong evidences of an impression made ox their heads by @ con. tact against the policemen’s clubs.

The Review of the Military. ‘The military display contained no features of parti- cular interest, the march of the troops was delayed, ‘but why we know not, far beyond the appointed hour. Fortunately, the dey waa not excess warm, the storm of the preceeding Sunday night haying cooled the atmosphere, and the torrents of rain that fell during the same time baying rendered the labors of the scavenge completely superogatory. Thess circumstances co Joined with the cloudiness of the tkies, which pravaated Phoebus from darting the fierce rays of # July «un ups their devuted heads, rendered yesterday's march through the streets of our city much less tuilsome to the military than it would otherwise hare been, Notwithstanding the extraordinary fall of rair te streets were in tole- rably good condition, Broadway ic particular. so that the march was on a dry pavement and ret uraccompanied with dust. This alone must heve been a great boon, for ‘we cannot conceive anything more ucendarable than a march through the hot dusty streets of New York under a scorchyg July sun. The live of march was ronal Union square to Seven teanth strect, through Seventeenth street to Irving place, through Irving place to Fourteenth street, through Four. teenth street to the Third avenue, down the Third aveous to Tenth street, through Tenth street to Broadway, down Broadway to Chembers street, through Chambers street and Cenire street to the ens gate of ihe Park, Aa tho troops passed throngh che Park thyg saluted the Mayor eid Common Counc'l, who vere present in front of the City Hall for the porpo-e of passing them in re view, accompanied by many visitors The above was the only episode in the events of the review ds-erviag of ao- tee, The troops, who were reviewed consisted of the First Division of ths New York State Militia, under the command cf Major General Charles W.

The military were not accompanied in their march by any of the Benefit Societies, although we observed Tem- yerance Societies and others pass through the park befor the arrival of the military in numbers.’ We missed several cf our ‘crack?’ city companies, whose splendid uniforms form co striking a feature in our military processions, Many of the militia regiments moreover appeared not to pave their full complement of men by any means, so that we cannot classify the review as among the most splen- did. There was not apparenuy so lavge a number of troops out yesterday ax at the review given @ino time ago in honor of Kossuth, although there are at present more regiments in the first division than there were then, The customary salutes were fired at sunrise and at noom from the Battery—that in the moruing by a detachment from the first Brigade, commanded by Brigadier General Soicer, and that at 12 M. bys detachment from the ede under the command of B:igedier General Morris. A salute of twenty-one guos was likewise fired at on o'clock P. M. from the North Carolina line of battle ship, i peines moored in the East river, opposite tae Navy ord, The fine weathor of yesterday, forit was just the da; to enjoy out of docr amusecent, not being too warm, a: the slight shower tbat fell during the review, not worthy of notice, drew from their homes an immense multitude of people. The City Hall Park was croeded to witness the review of the military, and for hours peeeinnaaly, thou- vands might be seen proceeding down Broa central point of attraction. Nearly all tl Broadway were closed with the exception of a few confec: tioners, and of there latter, Taylor’s new ica cream saloon which was cpened a few days ago, was the object of uni yersal admiration, During the whole of the day it was crowéed with strangers and others takiog refrashments, mppy drawn by cvriosity to view this new establiehment, which eclipres anything of the kind either Loudon, Paris, or any other continental city. A description of the sa: Joon was given by us some time back, under ths head of ‘Smprovements in Broadway.”’ The saloon eas then not entirely Gnished, oad if it wag at that time magaificent, itis much more so now tha’ the accessories have been Paced in and the saloon completely finished, to the stores in The Baltimore Firemen. The members of the Baltimore Columbian Company No. 9, were present on the fourth of July, at the review in the Park, on an invitation from the city athorities. In the afternoon they tried their engine in West Broad- way, and threw a stream of water over the liberty pole near Riley’s Hotel. The engine {s a new one, and there- fore worked with more difficulty than it otherwise would, baving been put together in a hurry, to accompany them on the visit. Indeed, we believe that it is rather a ahow engine that the company take about with them on visits, and not much used at fires; for auch purposes they have @ suction engine, which can be worked more easily. In the evening they were present in the Park to aee the fireworks, and were highly gratified with the spectacle. The Display of Fireworks. THE PARK. The display of fireworks at the City Hall was one of the mort magnificent wo ever witnessed, even from that vete- ran of pyrotechnic art, Mr. Edge.. From an early hour in the evening crowds wended their way to this grest focus of attraction; the people began to assembla before dark, ard altogether there could not have been less than eizhteen or twenty thousand persons to witness the gor- geous scene, Many were provided with tickets of ad- mission, through the courtesy of the Common Council and Mr. Valentize, their clerk, which entitled the hold- ers to eats that were placed within chains, to prevent the pressure from without. Frem sundown rockets were sent up, and about eight o'clock the fireworks were commenced with splendid Greek Bengola lights, whiot illumined the whole entire area. Then there was the scroll wheel, with a revolving wheel of jersamine, brilliaut and radiant fires, with an opeque centre, which, as if by magic, became filled with revolving scrolls formed of jets of colored fisme, displaying now and again a revolving globe. This beautiful piece opened with a horizontal »heel of brilliant fires, changing into a revolving globe of colored tances. The Persian Rose and Peruvian Cross were also very beau- tiful. Tne ptece called the Fourth of July began with a changeable wheel of jessamine and brilliaot fires igniting afive pointed star in golden lancework, with “4th of July” between the points, terminatlog with a shower of fire and maroonexplosions, The Mexican Sun sod Indian Palmetto were superb specimens of art, their dazzling biilllancy.and ricbly-colored mutations elicited marked appleuse. But t is impossible to particularize every dis- play, they were ail sublime and under the immediate hagement of Messrs. Joseph G. and Isaac H. Edge, jr.

The drapery of ‘hese figures was formed in white lanse work exquisitely rheded, Beside the Muse of History stood the Goddess of Wircom, placing a chapiet of laurel on the brow of America. ‘This figure was habited iv a ceurass, with a helmet on her head, holding in one hand a spenr, emble matic of power. Thi Beanpot figures was encircled by anare of leaf work, iv which were placed the emblems of feetry and music “Surmounting the whole was the coat of arms of the United Statex—the bird of Jove perched on the shield, This piece was the most sublime perfection of our country in the pyrotechnic arts, Every line was appropriately colored so as {0 present a picture in col ored outlines sevem'y five feet hgh; on each side of this centre was revolving pieces The whole terminatiog with grand flights of colcred fires aud explosions of mirus fill ing the sir with stars aud streamers.

The grand wornic battery compored of Greek and Romav candles, and interspersed with mires of rerpenty aud marooned Dattery was very fraud. A band of rousic was in attend. arce, and between each display of fireworks perfor sou e popular ‘une whilst rockets were alternately Into the air with five effect, Aliogether the fireworks in the Park Iact evening could not be surpassed in affect, or perlection of art, Long may the people exjoy this appro- yriste celebration of the gicrious Fourth of July, and long way the veteran Edge avd bia claver partners live to provide us with yeh triumphs of pyrotesbric art, The fine bronze s tue of De Witt Clinton which stends tem- porsrily in front of the City Hall was seen to fine effect amid the gle ing and brilliant lights, MADISON SQUARE. The display of fireworks at Madison equare was truly magnificent, and attracted there, in the very heart of upper tendom, an immense crowd of the democrasy, who came there for the purpose of witnessing the grand display of fiieworks, aa usual on the anniversary of “Independence Day.” There were crowded together men, women, and children, of all nations,” esch one ctiving to get nearer to the platform erected nearly id? the contre of the aquare, in order to have & good oppor tunity of “seeing the sight.’ A few momenta after eight o’elock the multitude were astoni-hed by a grand divcharge of rockal which were deauti(ul iodeed. Some on attaining their greatuat height io tho air burst into serpents; others drooping into beautiful etars of green and red; while from others decconded several red streams of minute spaeks of fire. The brilliaecy of the roman candles elecited from the moving tase several loud bursts of applause, The grand ent festure of the entire display was the Catharine whoelsy which’ kept continually changicg from one color to avother, throwing up jets of red, white and groen flames, and illuminetirg all the houses ia ihe ‘neighborhood of the ground, which were crowded to the roof with the fair sex residind in the most fa: hionable portion of our elty During the intervals of letting off une firework, Dod worth’s baud played roveral national wire which enlivened the scenes of darkness that would for »fow moments overcast the assembings. The divector of the display, Mr Stanton, doses ves the greatest pinisn for the zeal which he mani: feted in trylog to pleace the tastes ot she people assem bled, The exhibition lasted ior sbout aa hous, it being juet nine ovelock when the conclading portion of the f ore let off. The grounds and adjoining atreete ded to their utmost capacity with peo- ye who ellagreed in pronounctog the affair a grand fed imposing one We witnessed no confusion or disor dex among the crowd; nor wore eny 6) mptoms of rowdy- jm visible, The whele offvir passed off without incident to mar the pleasure of the evening. Some of the qeuthful portion of the assemblage, however satis- fied 7 ee are been with the firesorks, kept ups continual firing of Chinese crackers, much to the annoy- refined portion of the bystanders, the beauty avd brilliancy of « rocket, would often be startled by the discharge of a bunch of these fireworks under their feet. The great mass disperred to their homes immediately after the conclusion of the exbibition, every one well pleased with the proceedings of the evening at Madison square. TOMPKINS’ SQUARE. Independence Day was celebrated with all the honora im the eastern quarter of the city. Though there w: nothing ofa military display here more than the appear- ance of some stragglers in uniform returning from the parade, still the absence of this feature in the gala day was amply made up by the determination of every man jeard boy in the neighborhood discharging muskets, re volvers, small cannons, fire crackers, and every sort of explosive. Throughout the larger part of thiy quarter each house is occupied by some eight or ten families, so that every window oa every floor was ® miniature bat: tery. where the occupants maintained a brisk and inces- rapt fire. In Tompkins’ equare the preparations for ce. lebrating Independence Day were on a scale commen- surate with tbe display throughout the other portions of the city. The pyrotechnics provided at the ex- pense of the Corporation were under the manage- ment of Mr. I:aac Edge, senior, and at some distance from the framework there was a platform erected for the accommodation of Manaban’s band. The square was literally jammed with the immense population which poured into it from the adjoining densely populated streets. It was an extraordinary sight to see such a was of human beings—young and old—Jew and Gentile, Dutch and Lish, with their faces upturned, watching the fiery progress of a rocket, or shouting with wonder and Gelight at the battery throwing out globes of green and red and yellow and blue, with all the precision of an In- dian juggler. The flueworks were of the ordinary designs, though it was thought the disply generally was not so flue an that of last year. Thore was a goodly collection of that amiable class, the rowdies, of whom the neighborhood of Tomykins’ square is co prolific, but they conducted them- selves tolerably weil, and we did mot hear of auy unto- ward event taking place throughout the day. Fires, Accidents, and Incidents, FIRES, ETC. On the afternoon of the fonrth,a fire broke out ina fancy goods store in Grand street, situated two houses off from the corcer of Orchard street. It waa caused by some fire crackers in the second floor, Damage trifling, from water. No. $2 engine was first on the ground, fol- lowed by Manhattan Engine, No, 8. While the above was burning, a fire broke outin the honse at the corner 0 Grand aod Gouvernoure streets, the lower part of which was occupied by George Brown asa porter atore, and the upper part, where the fire occrred, as a cabiaet maker shop. Damage about $100, Insured. ‘The fire was caused by fire works, which were thrown into the room through a wiadow which had been left opea. As fire company No. 41, were returnisg home from the place, after the fire had been put ont, they came in collision with a gang of rowdies known as “ Six’s Kil- lers’’ or ‘ Tigers,’’ who pelted them with bricks and stones all the way down Clinton street. Here, however, the members cf company No. 41 rallied, and drove back ‘ailante, pursuing them as faras Gouverneur street. ht was put a atop to by the police of the Thirtetuth and Seventh wards.

Between 4 acd 6 o'clock this morning. a fire broke out ip the building No. 261 Front street, which is occupied by Jamez Smith asa place for storage, consisting of several stories in height. The principal article contatied inside, at the time of the fire, was cotton, much of which waa burvt, end sill wore damaged by water. How the fire originated is uct known at present, but it is supposed to Feveaziven fom syontaneous ignition. The exterior of the building is not much damaged, the destructioa being confined tc the iaterior where the fire must have done much mischief, for at 10 o'clock the fire was not entirely extinguished, and the firemen were bury in throwing into the street below, from the upper st the bales of cot- ton, many of which burnt as they fell that the street eround was etrewn with sn immense beap of loose cotton. ‘The lors, no deubt, will be very great, but, most probably, it is coverea by insuracce.

These were a large number of aquatic picnic parties in sloop, echoorers, &e., &e., in and about our harbor yesterday, the majority of which started early in the morning, and made » day of it, taking with them lots of music and other comforis, Among the number we no- ticed one party particularly, who seemed to be enjoying themselves ‘‘without let or hindranoe.’’ They were on board of a magnificent sloop, the Margaret Ann Lake, Captain John Latch. The party railed up the East river in the morning, and down the bay in the afternoon, stopping at Clifton, Staten Island, where the ladies went ashore and rambled about that delightful spot for an hour or 90, when they again took to the water, and a renewal of their innocent amu:ement were commensed and continued until they reached thia city’ Truly this is # most rational way of spending the Fourlh, The Day tn Brooklyn, ‘The day was observed in thia city with more than usual spirit, and passed off with but very few accidents, , considering the continual discha-ges of various kinds of fireworks, The streets were thronged during the whole day, andevery pablic building, liberty pole, the ferry boats and shipping along the wharves were decorated with flags, presenting a gay and holiday. like appearance The stores were mostly clored by noon, thus giving those employed therein an opportunity to celebrate the day in common with their friends and acquaintances. At sun- rise a national salute of thirty one guns was fired from Fort Green, by Major Powell, which was zepeated at noon and again at night. At 7 o'clock, A. M., the Fifth Brigade, under command of Brig. General Duryea, formed on Hicks street, and marching through Hicks, Pierrepont, Fulton ard Jerolemon, were reviewed at the City Hall, by Mayor Lambert. The Common Council had not been in- vited to participate in the hozor, fhere being'a misunder- +anding between the military aud that honorable body. ‘The line then marched up Court, Atlantic Hicks, Fulton ard Nasrau, where it waa dismissed, and the Napper Tandy Light Artillery, Capt. Hogan; Williamaburg froopr, Cupt. Sans; Captain Ehepper's company of the 14th regiment; Col. Jesse C. Smith and staff, and a por- fon cf the 13th regiment proseeded to Williamsburg, in review before the Mayor and Common Council of that city. On returning, Captain Hogan's company fired a salute from Fort Greene. The biigand comprises the 70th Fegivent, (Lorse,) 18th, 14th, an 72d regiments, (infan- try,) all of which were well represented. They marched well ard licited the approbation of the people generally by their correct deportment and soldierlike conduct. Tn the evenirg there was a fine display of fireworks from Fort Green under direction of the Common Couneil. The Brooklyn cornet band enlivened the intervals bet ween the various discharges with excellent music about ten o'clock the last piece was fired, and the assembly, exti- mated at about 20,600 in number, quietly dispersed to their rerpective homes. ‘The day was remarkably orderly, and very few arrests were made by the police for druzkenness. ‘These was but one alarm of fire doring the evening, and tl at was caused by the burning of the roof of No. 66 Pa- cific Ktreet, occvpied by Mrs. Doyle, which was occasioned by fixe crackers. The damage done was tlight. ACCIDENTS. The accidents ‘rom gunpowder were were very few, though, usfortunstely, those that did occur are of a ra\her ¢eriour nature. Mr. Frencie Ray, a resident of No. 206 Mulberry street, New York; while iding up Vultom sfrest om a stage, betog sented with others on the top, waa shot in the leg by a murket fired from aa upper window of house No. 284 Foltoy sireet.

TARRYTOWN, The Monument to the Captors of Major An- dre=Lny Ing of the Comer Stone—Oration by Tames T, Brady, Fisq., of the New York Bar —Ganna Civic aud Miltary Procession, &e. REPORTED EXPR LY FOR THK NEW YORK HERALD, The citizens of Tarrytown, assisted by their breth- ren from the neighboring villages and counties of the State of New York, celebrated the Seventy-seventh Anniversary of our National Independence in a man- ner peculiarly interesting. It is known to every American—almost to all the people in the world—that at at a spotabout half a mile distant trom this romantically situated and fast thriving village, and upon the old Albany post road, three young militia men of our State did, upon the 23d day of September, 1750, capture, within the American lines, Major John Andre, the Adjutant General of the British army, and take from his person several important military docu- ments, which the spy had obtained from the foul traitor, Benedict Arnold, with a view of putting the King’s troops into the possession of th important station cf West Point. Andre was hanged after a sentence by a Court Martial. Thousands have visited the place yearly, and there learned the names of Paulding, Williams, and Van Wert—for, perhaps, the first time—but the admiration of their immaculate patriotism in refusing the vast sums of British gold, offered to purchase the escape of their prisoner, was soon effaced in the hurried intercourse of life. The young men of Tarrytown have, for some time past, made a persevering endeavor to raisea towering monument upon the very ground, which would be as enduring as the mighty confederacy which was ca- mented, in a great measure, by thei» energy and honesty at that critical moment. The young men’s “Monument Association” have succeeded so tar that, yesterday, amidst the boom ing of cannon, in the light of a glorious sun, amidst the music of martial bands, and in the presence of cight thousand freemen, the corner stone of a granite base for the column was laid. ‘The stone waslowered to itaplace by Colonel James A. Bamilton, of Westchester county, son of Geueral Hanilton, the fayorite aid of Washington. The beauty, fashion, and worth of Westchester and the adjoining counties were present upon the occasion, James T. Brady, esq., of the New York bar, after wards delivered the oration of the day from a grand platform erected in an extensive orchard opposite. The discourse was a perfect specimen of manly taste and vigorous oratory, exhibiting and incul- cating a fervid patriotism from the beginning to the end. The original documents found in the boota of Andre were exhibited, the Secretary of State hav- ing forwarded them for that purpose. The sasvwing relatives of the glorious captors were present in carriages, as well as the representa- tives of all the ancient families ot Westchester. After the exercises concluded a select party were entertained at dinner in the Irvine House by the Monument Assoeiation members. General Storms presided, and the dinner was Wortby of the proprietor, Moses H. Nelson, and his distinguished guests. There was a grand display of fireworks in the evening. The day continued remarkably fine throughout, although we had rain, with a southeast wind, from 11 o'clock on Sunday night until an early hour of yesterday—Fourth—morning. No ac- cident occurred. A full report of the procession, ceremonies, and oration will be given to-morrow morning. Later from Cuba, By the arrival of the Empire City, at a late hour an Sunday night, we received files of journals from Havana to the 29th June, The Gaceta, of the 28th, eontains an article in reply to the remarkable recent debate in the British House 0 Lords, in which the Earl of Curli:le, Lord Clareadon, and the Bizhop of Oxfoid, took prominent parta, with respect to the violation by Spain of the slave treaties. The Ga cela manifests ® deal of indignation at the calumniss to which the Spanish Government was subjected on that occasion, and it elevates the character of Captain General Canedo even above that of his noble British aspersers. One is reminded, on reading this article, of the taunt flung back on the Douglass by Lord Marmion:— « And if thou said’st T'was not peer ‘To uny Scotti-h noble bere, Lowland or Highland, far or near, Lord Argus thou bast hied.!* Noble by birth—enye the Gaceta talking of Cavedo—as thw Exgish Lord premier," dvosted in serare principles of henor, cccupying an elevated pest in the Spanish army, sxdclevated to the dignity of Senator of the Kingdom, he wos axd could not be corrupted by the bribe of the island of Cuba to commit an ungraceful action, which would sudderly defile so many titles of individual pride. The Captain Gereral Don Valenta Canedo, bas vigorously prosecuted since the day of his taking command of the ‘land, the cursed slave traffic. He has done more; ho has employcd governimental measures, which reveal not orly loyalty and purity, but seif deuial and an elevatet apbit, even to a point which ehould have counselled Lord Carlisle to more circum: pection and less frivolity. It was from this ariicle that, ia the absence of all our trarelstors when the Empire City’s mails arrived late at night, a comporitor in our office, a Cuban filibustero inspired by the rentimenta congenial to the 4th of July, manofactured the starting intelligence which appeared in our yesterday's issue, that Count Carlisle had been ar- rested on a charge of conspiracy, the design of which was to overthrow the present government of Jamaica of the black population, and that a vessel had been ceized loaded with p unitions of war alledged to have been furnished by the Count and others. We were not aware we had such agraius among our compositors, but now that we have discovered it we must take care of bim.

Jvuiy 5,—PeterGibbs, a colored man, steward of the ship John Wade, of Boston, was arrested by the Marshal on a charge of attempting to murder James H. Little, the captain of that vessel, on the 10th of February, while on her last voyage from Canton to this port. It appears that the captain called the steward, and ordered him to arrange one of the state rooms; he refured to do it. The captain took hold of him, to compel him, upon which the steward drew a pistol, with a dirk attached toit, and endeavored to stab the captain. The mate hearing the noise, walk- ed te the cabin door, upon which the steward made a plunge at his (the mate's) breast; the mate, in en- deavoring to guard himself, received a stab in the second finger of the left hand. The steward then tan forward to the forecastle, below deck. The mate took a cutlass and followed him, and the prisoner pointed the pistol at him, and threatened to shoot him if he approached. The mate stopped in the fore- castle until the captain went and armed himself with his pistols, and came and ordered the steward to go on deck. At first he refased, but afterwards said if the captain would go on deck first he would follow him. The captain wert on deck; the steward sprang over the jolly boat, then into his own room, which is forward the main hatch; the cap- tain and mate followed him, and the carpenter came with a lantern; the captain then caught the steward, who endeavored to stab him; he then dropped the pistol, which was picked up; they then put trons on the steward, and kept him confined until they ar. rived in New York, which was for a period of five months. The pistol, which was loaded to the mouth, has a spring dirk, five inches long, attached to it. It also appears that on the Stst of January previous, the steward refused to work, and on that occasion drew a knife on the captaie, and attempted to stab him. Gibbs has been committed for examiwation. Personal Intelligence: ARRIVALS.

Toe Cuorrra at Wintrtamsrort, Mp.—It seems to be admitted that they have had, and still have, the cholera, or some other’ similar disease, at Williams port, Md. The Boonsboro’ Odd Fellow,of the 29th ult, says :—After a strong and foolish effort was made te deny the existence of the cholera in Williamsport, the paper publisied there, and the citizens, acknow- ledged the fact. Since our last there has been na- merous new cases and many deaths. On the 26th there were five deaths, on the 20th five, and yester- day three, up to which time there has been upward of 160 cases and fifty-five deaths. Many of the citi- vens are leaving. We hope that the disease has done its worst and will subside. A letter has been received here stating that there were forty-five new cases yesterday, the 28th,*but does not mention the pumber of deaths. Among the victims is the Post- master. The same paper states that a colored boat- man from Williamsport died of cholera at 8! burg on Sunday. Hagerstown is healthy, but dinrrhoen prevails there to a slight exteut. A report that the cholera had appeared at the College of St. Jemes is positively contradicted by the Magere town papers. The students are in good health gen- erally, some few having bad a slight attack of diarrboe.
