‘The Rock Island Affair, OUB EXCURSION CORRESPONDENOS. Ow THe Misaissteri, Laxe Perm, 100 miles below St. Wi y June 7, 1854. The Great Railroad’ Trip—Mr. Fillmore—The Town of Dubwuque—Scenes on the Mississippi— All Sorts of Speeches, §., Sc. The steamer Jenny Lind joined the excursion fleet at Galena, having been chartered at Rock island by Mr. Farnham, fearing that suitable ac- commodations could not be provided for the whole Party upon the other boats. This afforded much | relief to hundreds who had not rested very comfort- ably on the previous night. Before we arrived at Dubuque, the storm commenced, and a remarkable sudden change in the weather came over us. The ladies soon enwrapped their delicate persons in their shawls, men encased themselves in overcoats and wrappers, and all so eager to witness the scene- ry on the shores, paraded the upper deck, expos- ing themselves, very imprudently, to the “peltings of the pitiless storm.” Ina couple of hours the beautiful city of Dubuque hove in view. The booming of cannon was heard inthe distance, and the reports become louder, quicker and sharper, as we approached the harbor. The fleet in regular suecession rounded to, and as the bow of each | it selling ce pies or for any other him five to be “‘actually and not a drop less. Ifhis currants or grapes happen to turn ont well, so that he could 80 large a quantity as tive gallons to then he cannot sell any, even a little in a case —— subjecting himself to the penalty of the law. Importers of foreign liquors may sell such as they import, in the origital cake or packages, county commissioners give authority to any person to manufacture intoxicating liquors, but such manufacturers can only sell to agents appointed by the towns for the sale of liquors under a penalty of not less than $1,000 nor more than 2B. eee Hi] E A f $6,000. The selectmen of any town may appoint not more than three agents to sell liquors, for sacramental, medicinal, chemical and mechanical purposes only, The agent must keep: an accurate account of all liquors sold, sj ecifying the name of the person to whom sold, the kind of liquor and ‘the amount, which record shall be open to the inspection of eve- | ry elector of the town. And rio person whatever but this agent can sell any liquor at all, for any pur- | pore. The penalty of manufacturing contrary to law is, steamer touched the levee, the passengers on board | for the first olfence, $100 and cost of prosecution, or gave three hearty cheers, which were responded from the shore with a hearty and most enthusiastic | good will. Upon the beach stood several thon- sands of people, mostly under cover of um- brellas, while a long line of empty carriages occupied a space directly in front. As ‘soon as the cheering subsided and the welcome received, # dele- gation of the city authorities came on board the Steamer Galena, which boat contained the managers of the expedition, and presented an invitation to aeeaty them and partake of the hospitalities of the city. In the Rieantime, the crowd ashore ascertained that Mr. Fillmore was on board the Golden Era, lying alonside the Galena, when a shout arose, which drew Mr. F, out on deck in froat, when he addressed the Dubuquans. Mr. Solomons, of the city, re- sponded in a neat and appropriate speech, speaking most eloquently of our excursion, and the immense benefits which must ultimately result from it. Al- though the invitation to proceed ashore was reluct- antly declined, on account of the continued storm, { yet a dozen or two took possession of a few car- * riages, and took the responsibility of making an ex- ploration on their “own hook.” The order for casting off came sooner than was expected, and the little party ventured so far from the fiest that the: were only able to jump on board as tiie last pla: was being drawn in. Dubuque is already an im- rtant point on the Mississippi. It possesses a fine | location, and a natural surface capable of containing a mighty city. Its streets are wide and running at regular angles, and several of them are already oc- cupied and decorated with elegant brick stores, warehouses, and private residences, of a grandeur and substantial character equal to almost any thing on the Atlantic coast. Large quantities of pig lead repiled upon the levee awaiting the arrival of steamers to carry it to the Eastern mar- In the rear of the city, the mounds arise to an p ion, gradually, some five hundred feet; upon the side of them the grape has already been very ex- tensively planted. Whether the climate of this re- gion is congenial to ita successful culture, is as yet not ascertained; and many believe that this region is too far northerly for the vines. A season or two willtestit. If it can be done at Dubuque, there can be no difficulty in obtaining native vines from our own soil, in any latitude north of the forty-third degree. The storm increased with such violence that we were all driven within the saloons. This created much disappointment, as the fleet was about approaching that wild, magnificent, enchanting scenery, the sight of which we had so anxiously ex- esac to feast our never satisfied optics upon. any, notwithstanding, amused themselves as com- fortably as possible, and ventured outside, gazing upon the wonderful panorama of nature, until com- pletely drenched wita rain, or paralyzed with cold, or until the darkness of night obscured the view. Though the gale increased, and the rain continued to fall without interruption, until it amounted to torrents, and all nature without presented the most fearful and threatening aspect, the parties inthe saloons, on all the steamers, were, as joyous and mirthful as at a village feast, or a marriage cere- mony. Upon the War Eagle, the saloon was converted into a ball room, and the enticing and merry cotillon, quadrille, polka, and so on, were en- joyedin a very liberal degree. Never within the walls of the New York City Assembly Rooms, nor upon the elastic floor of Niblo’s, did ever the Pldesares of the dance produce more real solid, un- affected enjoyment than was experienced on the angry billows of the mighty Mississippi, last night, far away from oe life, among the wildest and most astonishing revellings of nature, not yet desecrated by the ruthless hand of speculating man. Long, long, will this gala night on the billowy bosom of the great father of dowing waters, be kept in grate- ful remembrance by every lucky individual on this excursion. Upon other boats meetings were held, railroad, steamboat, and enterprising speeches of every character were made. Upon the Sparhawk, Alderman Ely presided, who opened jn a speech of considerable flourish, showing at once the peculiar characteristics of a New York alderman. George Bliss, of Springfield, Mass.—one of the greatest rail- road kings of the age—addreased the audience, as did also Col. Schouler, of Cincinnati; B. P. Johnson, of Albany; Rev. Dr. Vermilyea, of New York, and others. Card parties were also formed in consider- able numbers, which amusement was also very liberally participated in.” Thus the evening was disposed of, and late at night, the pleasures ceased, to sacvecded by sweet slumbers on the downy couch. The Missing Steamer ap of Glasgow—An At- fecting 'e The Jersey_Blue has the following affecting it During the latter part of our career in the Phila- delphia post-office, we became beg beara Ree | the mass of human beings whose faces appeare daily at the “General Delivery Window” where we were stationed, with an intelligent, happy-looking Englishman, of about forty-five years of age, who came frequently to inquire for letters from home. He was a man of pleasing manners, and evidently had been well educated and accustomed to the re- | finements and elegancies of really good society. | Being a stranger on our shores, he was glad to avail himself of an ci hea of conversing with us, and spoke freely of his past and of his hoped-for future. He had come over to Philadelphi: ringing with him a little son, appurently about twelve years of , to select aresidence for the rest of his family | | found with “a brick in his hat,” he sha’ sixty days imprisonment; for the second offence $206, or four months imprisonment; for each subse- uent offence $200 and tour months imprisonment. Yor selling, the penalty is in the first offence, $20 and costs of prosecution, and for every subsequent offence $100,and imprisonment for not less than three nor more than six months. This penalty applies to ail clerks, agents and servants, as well a3 to the principal. The ninth section makes it equally criminal for any person to keep liquor with the intent to sell it, and the intent is inferred from the fact that he has liquor in his possession. Three persons “of good moral character” cau affirm before a magistrate that they have reason to believe, and do believe, that liquor is kept for the purpose of being sold in any particular place, and this is sufficient to cause the issue of a search war- rent. When liquor is found, and the owner thereof fails to show that it was not intended for sale, then |. it must be handed over to the town agent for the benefit of the towa ; or if it is too poor for sale, in the opinion of the agent, then it is to be destroyed. tSection seventeen provides that if an: ree sel without a warrant, and shut up until he testifies where he got it. If he refuses to do so, then he must be prosecuted for drunkenness, and pay a fine , of $20, and stand committed until he pays up. But if he owns y freely and fully, then he must be liberated, and the person of whom he obtained the liquor must be brought up. ‘0 debt contracted for liquors can be collected by law. TELEGRAPHIC. THE MAINE LIQUOR LAW PASSED BY THE LEGIS- LATURE. New Haven, June 15, 1854. The Maine Liquor law, which was passed by the House this morning, passed the Senate this evening by a vote of thirteen to one. Destructive Fire in Worcester, Mass. TWO HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS WORTH OF PROPERTY DESTROYED—REPORTED LOSS OF LIFE, AND A NUMBER OF PERSONS SERIOUSLY INJURED. (Brom the Boston Papers, June 15.) The most destructive conflagration that ever oc- curred in Worcester county, broke out about ten minutes past twelve o’clock, on Wednesday the 14th instant, in the southwest wing of William T. Merri- field’s machine shop, occupied by some of the largest machinists in Worcester. fhe buildings were of brick, four stories high, sit- uated upon Union, Exchange and Cypress streets, and occupied three sides of a whole square. Among the occupants were Samuel Flagg & Co., and Daniel Tainter, machine manufacturers; Geo. W. Bliss, boot manufactory; Jordan, horse-shoer, C. Hovey & Co., haycutters; Hovey & Lazelle, do.; D. Palmer; Forbush & Crompton, machinists; J. & I. C. Brown; Hood, Battelle & Co.; S. G, Reed, car- riage wheel manufacturer; P. E. Towne & Co., per forated paper manufactory; Massachusetts Sewing Machine Company; and a number of other firms. ‘The building was entirely consumed, and the loss isimmense. Very little of the property is covered by insurance. which he had left in England,and to make all the ar- rangemente necessary to their comfort when they | should arrive. He had accomplished this—had ta- ken and furnished a house in Philadelphia, and was expecting letters from his wife, informing him of | her sailing with their other children in the steamer | City of Manchester. id Ye handed him a letter—it spoke of her expec- ta’ to sail in that steamer, and went away with | such glad anticipations as might be supposed to fi the ofa h d and father long absent from the wife and children whom he soon expected to meet and embrace again. A few days passed, and | The fire very soon crossed Union street. The large buildings occupied by Allen & Thurber, pistol makers, were next in flames, and were entirely con- runied, with nearly all their contents. The basement story of Allen & Thurber’s build- ings was occupied by Thayer, Houghton & Co., ex- tensive manutacturers of machinery, and from this nothing was saved. Several men jumped from the third story, and the report is that William Carey is killed. Others are supposed to be among the ruins, but in the confu- sion that prevails, nothing can be known with cer tainty. Several firemen, who dropped down from exhaus- tion, are in a critical condition. From Merrifield’s and Allen & Thurber’s buildin gs the fire spread in a northerly and easterly direction, consuming some fifteen adjacent buildings. The loss cannot fall much short of two hundred thousand dollars, and at least one-quarter of the mechanical buildings of the city were swept heab About three acres of the most thickly settled por- tion of the city is swept clean. At this time the fire is got under, and there is no fear that it will ex- tend further. More than four hundred men are thrown out of employment by this fire, and many families are houseless. At 4 oclock the fire was under subjection. At that time it was confined principally to Exchange street. ‘The wind was not blowing hard at any time during the day. If there had been a southwest wind, the destruction would have been much greater. ‘The intense heat of the weather added to thatof the fiames caused great suffering among the firemen. Several lives were lost. A workman in Merryfield’s establishment, in attempting to save his tools, was buried in the ruins. One man jwnped from the roof of Merrifield’s building, |(4 stories high) and was terribly muti- lated, having his legs and hips completely smashed. It is reported that three firemen were on the third floor of the same building when the walls fell in. They are supposed to be killed. wrt: were broken, and the doctors had their ids full of work. The area of ground burnt was over three acres, and the amount of Lita (baer ed, will reach half o million of dollars. Merrifield had no insur- ance on his building, which extended 300 feet on three streets, and was four stories in height. His | loss will be very heavy. The Nashua engine house and machine shofwere saved by tearing down a shed. At 4 o’clock great efforte had been made to save the stables of the American House, and Bonney’s | livery stable, and these buildings were considered | safe, as the fire had been mostly subdued in that direction. At that time it was expected that the 1) | fire would extend northwardly towards Main street, if it spread further, but hopes were entertaine that the devouring element was stayed. The foyr Worcester engines were found to be far another foreign mail arrived and with it a letter to | inadequate to the emergency, and special trains ourfriend from his wife, saying that she had not been able to make her arrangements in time to sail in the Manchester, but that she should certainly sail in the G ww. Some time after this, letters came, which ahe had mailed at the time of embark- ing in this ship, and now he was unspeakably hap- fe the almost certainty of seing his wite and iidren in a Me few days, for the New York mail steamers generally make the passage but a few days sooner than our screw steamers. Soon he, with many others, commenced going down every day to Queen street wharf to look for the Incoming steamer. But who shall speak of the horrors to come? Day after day did he, with the many others on that sad walk, go down to the wharf and strain his vision to descry among the numerous vessels down the river the anxiously expected steamer. We saw him when the vessel had been some thirty days out, and were startled at his appearance. The plump, happy seeming face of one month before was hag; as the face of death, the eyes that so shortly before we had eeen dance in the light of inward joy, were bloodshot, wild, and glaring upon us with a maniac expression. He ed mopingly away, but his face haunted us still. A few days after this, a steamer arrived bringing the report that a veasel somewhat resembling the Glasgow had been seen off the Ba- hamas; this report brought him to us again, ’ how that false hope had brightened his counten- ance! His eyes had regained their expression of intelligence, and he clung to this baseless hope asa crowning man to a straw. We left the post office a few days after this. Yea- tday we inquired concerning this wretched man, nd was told that he had been for some time in the nnatic asylum, a raving maniac. May God reward jiun in eternity.

Cross-examined—The applications were made to the City Clerk and handed to the members of the Board; the reason I voted againat granting licenses was that I did not believe the selling of liquor was nécessary for the enter- tainment of travellers. ‘The prosecution here rested and the Court adjourned. The Street Preaching Riots, BRooxiyn, June 13, 1854. TO THE EDITOR OF THE NEW YORK HERALD. Sm:—I hope you will give tho following statement in your widely circulated columns:—Having seon a great many reports flying around through the New York news- papers, and those of other parts of the State, concerning the Shields’ Guard, of Brooklyn, Company F, 14th Regi- giment N. Y.8. M., charging them with disobedience of orders on Sunday, the Sth of June, when called out to assist in quelling a riot, and protect the lives and proper- ty of our citizens from a furious mob, and also with turn- ing out with the mob and shooting down peaceable Ame- rican citizens, allof which seem to hi unno- ticed, I cannot help saying that it is surpt how en- lightened some of our public prints were on the military matters connected with that day, and Low much the re- verse were certain other journals opportunit which had the same ind what an interest the Istter take in statements before the public. Now, as t of that company, it becomes my duty to correct tHe false reports that have been set afloat. facts are simply these: On Sunday, the Sth instant, we received orders to assemble at the City Armory, there to await further instructions, in oase the poate of the clty od from the neighboring cites y the street prenchars m ny the street The consequence was that the military were ordered out on the street. Previous to being called on, the Brigadier- General was informed by the armorer that he had ammunition sufficient to supply a cortain number of rounds toeach man, but when we wero ordered out it was found he had not the’complement required, but there were four or five hundred rounds belonging to the Shields’ Guard, which partially supplied the deficiency, but were not sufficient to suppl the companies on duty. Therefore the companies that, fell short were not taken out. I hope this statement will satisfy all who feel an intorest in the matter. THOMAS McCARTY, Captain.
