Prompt measures were taken to ex- tinguish the flames, and the boat was headed for the nearest wharf, where the passengers were safely landed and the fire was extinguished.

The case of Anthony Burns, the alleged fagitive slave, continues to strongly agitate the public mind. Many ' persons openly denounce Wendell Phillips and Theodore Parker as the direct instigators of the murder of Batch- elder, and indications of an organized attempt to lynah them are so strong as to induce the Mayor to detail a police force for the protection of their persons and property. There has been no outbreak to-day. Court square was cleared last night, and the Court House surrounded with «cordon of ropes. A detachment of one hundred United | States troops is quartered in the Court House, and two companies of the Boston military are stationed at the City Hall. ‘The following handbill-has been extensively circulated to-day, in contradiction of a report that Col. Suttle had sold Burns:— The man is not to be bought! Ho is still in the slave pen inthe Court se kidnapper agreed, bot! Publicly and in writing, to sell him for twelve hundred wllars. That sum was raised by eminent Boston citizens, and offered to him; but he then elaimed more, and the bargain was broken off.

Large delegations are expected to-morrow from Salem, Worcester, New Bedford, and other places. One thousand pistols, priveipally revolvers, are said to have been sold by dealers on Saturday. A very large crowd remained in the vicinity of the Court House all last night. ‘The following is the copy of a circular which has been widely circulated in the country towns :— Bostox, May 27, 1864.

SECOND .DESPATOH. ‘ Bostox, May 28—10 PM A collection of from five hundred to a thousand per- sons has been in the vicinity of the Court House all day, up to the present hour. All the main entrances of the building are guarded by the U. S. Marshal’s officers, and but few persons were admitted. All the doors and pas- sages leading tothe room where Burns is confined, are occupied by United States soldiers. The Court House re- sembles a garrisoned fortress. A Sabbath-day exhibition of this kind creates a feel- ing among our more quiet citizens, which, to judge from its orem expression, is anything but favorable to the fugitive slave law, as It is being enforced here.

There were but few persons present, ex- cept the immediate friends of the family. THE PRESIDENT AND THE BOSTON RIOTRRS. 3 Batrmore, May 28, 1854. ‘The Washington Union says that tho President tele- graphed to the United States Marshal at Boston yester- day, that bis conduct in the matter of the slave case was fully approved of by the government, and that the law must be enforced. EXCITEMENT IN ALEXANDRIA. . ‘Wasmncrox, May 28, 1854. Great excitement exists in Alexandria, with regard to the slave riot in Boston. Popular indignation is especial- ly directed against Messrs. Sumner, Giddings, and one or two other members of Congress. The President is deter- mined to have the law enforced with alacrity, if not with gheerfulness, and he has, I have reason to believe, trans- ‘mitted orders for a sufficient force to sustain the civil power in Boston, and secure the slave at all hazards.

By the arrival at this port of the steamer Orizaba, from Vera Cruz, we have dates from the city of Mexico to the 18th inst. Santa Anna mado a triumptal entry into the capital on the 16th, on his return from Acapulco. A general rejoicing, to be continued for three days, had been ordered, on account of a victory over Alvarez at Mount Peliquiro, in a battle fought after Santa Anna had aban- doned the siege of Acapulco. The account of the affair, received from General Banco, says the government troops stormed Peliquiro on one side, and drove the rebels down the other. All the accounts, however, come from the government journals only, so that it is difficult to ascertain the exact trath. ‘The steamer Iturbide arrived at Vera Cruz on the Jith, with the news of the ratification of the Gadsden treaty.

You are prejudiced’ against me!” She also charged the jury with being bribed. Sentence was de- ferred until Monday morning, to allow her counsel to bring in a bill of exceptions. The prisoner’s manner after the rendition of the verdict, was strange, and her language incoherent. ‘ : of New Omnis May 2, 1854, ‘The steamer Empire City, for New York via Havana, left this port to day.

There is no little excitement in Washington in re- gard to Cubai affairs, and the impression is almost universal, that we are on the very eve of-those great events which shape the destiny of nations.

Moreover, the whole country will rejoiee at the conclusion of this protracted stroggle, and the public inquire very anxiously whether Congress has really aba~doned their ordinary and legitimate functions of legislation.

That amend- ment received but seven votes, a mystic number with the Jews, but just falling short by three of the number ten, the key note of the mathematicians. At 10 o’clock last evening, Gen. Cass arose and spoke about three-quarters of an hour in favor of the passage ot the bill. The usually grave and severe statesman—the vot to Clio, the muse of history— on this occasion snatched a grace from Thalie, the comic of the Nine, and with inimitable wit, humor, and satire, dissected Col. Benton's ch delivered in the House against. the bill. Though exhausted by a ten hour's session, sena- tors crowded round the veteran statesman, and loud- ly cheered and clapped him; the ladies and gentle- men in the gallery joining chorus in this scene of mirth and rejoicing. The Senate was electrified, and peals of laughter were soon followed by the peals of cannon st the passage of the bill.

PREACHING IN TH! PARK—ANOTHRE DISTURBANCES The usual Sunday afternoon amusement. wae mani- feated again yesterAay.in front of the City Halli Fighting appeared to be the order of the day. Between three and four o’clock a paeaeber made his appearance, and a crowd of persons soon collécted. At ahout the same time Mr. West, another Sunday preacher, hold forth at the junction of East Broadway and Grand street, oppo- . site the residence of the Mayor. During.tho-discourse @ slight disturbance took place, but not of any serious character. A body of men, numbering some, three or four hundred, marched from East Broadway to the City Hall, and soon after, their arrival fighting commenced. Any foreign looking individual did not appear to meet with much favor Several of thjs class were assaulted and pursued out of the Park. One men, who bore the looks of an Irishman, was chased into Chatham street, and there beaten, but luckily escaped with bis life by running into French’s Hotel.. Two other mgn were very savogely handled; one is said to have been very seriously injured. Tho police interfered, and arrested two ot the ilants, who gave their mames as James W. Hyatt id James T. Taylor ‘The former, Genora!:Hall witnessed. assault and beat 2 man without any provocation. The latter assaulted officer Wade, The prisoners were takem to the Tombs, but the magistzate being ausent, they were detained in the Sixth ward tion house. Hyatt and Taylor say they are natives of and carpen- ters by trade. PREACHING IN BROOKLYN, AND DISGRACEFUL PROCBEDINGS. A large concourse, numbering about six thousand or more, assembled at the corner of Sraith and Atlantic streets yesterday afternoon, where, or,a vacant piece of ground, the Rey. John Beach took his position and preached to the multitude, He took for his text the 12th verse of the 4th chapter of Amos: ‘Prepare to meet your | God.”? His discourse was anti-secterian, and void of any of those sentiments which are calculated to give offence to a large portion, of’ our foreign population. It wae listened to with the utmost attention, and no disposition was manifested from any quarter to disturb the proceed- ings. Beforo the close of thes sermon, a ¢elegation of New Yorkers arrived, headed by a mmn with an accordeon. They numbered some three hundred, and had come over, as one of them remarked, to help their Brooklyn friends; whether to pray or to fight, he did not state; probably he meant the latter, from what occurred subsequently. At the end of the exercises, the announcement was made that another meeting would be held at the same place at 6 o’clock next Sunday evening, and some little boys faintly cheered. The New York delegation then formed themselves, two and two, and proceeded down Smith street, the way they came. They had hardly left the preaching ground, when there was a great commotion. An Irishman, it appears, bad said the preacher Hed; whereupon as many as could get at him did so, and pelted him until the fellow was saved from further violence by & policems Rushes were now made in various direc- tions, and a good many Irishmen were beaten; no one, however, as far as could be observed, was touched, un- less he Volunteered some offensive remark. One frish- man, having a female.on his arm, (who said if there was a mauss she wanted to be in it, and see what it was like,) was handled rather roughly for Leet gm in insult . language towards the majority of those who su him. je was dragged up towards the corner of Atlantic and Smith streeta, where he was relensed, not having sua- tained apy apparent injury. The female bad got out of sight, and he being filled with moro tg than discretion insisted upon fighting somebody, cane, he aaid, they refused to let him walk upon the pa which he considered ar his zight. He was coaxed to still, but that only made him the more valiant, and officer Bowers took him into custody and marched him along. This moderate treatment did not sati-fy the know- nothings, but on followed the officer and struck the manas often as they could get a sight. The female came up about this timo, and threw her armserpund the man’s neck and was dragged along with him, the blows on the man falling thick ani fast all the while. His face was all pummelled and her’s was quite a She was fioally taken away, and he was placed ia the lock-up at the City Hall. ner this demonstration the New Yorkers again formed in line and marched on. Cheers. were given for Brooklyn, for New Yerk, for Manhattan, Island, nd one fellow batloed out ‘‘three groans for the Pope,” which was not responded to, however. On pro- cee ing down Main street an Irishman, who was stan on the corner of Water street, was knocked down by some of the feHowa in the procession, whereupon a large crowd, who had collected there, pursued the know-no- trings and d:ove them to the ferry house, when the gator wore cloed..
