Street Preaching Yesterday, MEETING IN THH PARK, Yesterday the preaching in the Park was continued, ia the usual style, by the sume individuals who, oa formec occasions, took so much pains to impress upon the minds of their hearers the fact that tue Church of Rome was fast undermining tho liberties of the free people of these United States, and that ere long the Pove would bo firmly seated on his pontical throne, surrounded by myriads of Jesuits and officers of the inquisition. The prompt arrest of the disturbers of the public poace last Sunday, no Conbt, bad a salutary effect in keeping the lisveners of these street preachers {n proper order, as no arrests wrre mado, and no fights, which have for 40 | many Suncaye disgraced the metrop lis, took place If sexsivle people would aevote their time more profit- ably, in recruiting their health, by g ing to the country, instead of standing in the hot sun, listening to dena- gogues, the street preaching excitement would sofa be detunct, PREACHING IN WASHINGTON SQUARE. ‘The accordeon-player of the Angel Gabriel yesterday harangued a crowd, in Washington Parade Ground, upon the evils of Popery and the beauties of religion. The audience was =i, particularly large or enthusiaatio, being composed of ‘both men and women, who atopped from curiosity, as peer passed through the park. ‘ter Moses finiabed his phillipic, the audience dispersed quiet- ly and orderly. PREACHING IN BROOKLYN—NO DISTURBANOB, There was no disturbance yesterday of any kind that came from street preaching, although one of the minis- ters of the Bridge street Primitive Methodist church ueld ferth as usual in the vacant lot near the corner of Atlea- tic and Bond streets. Shortly after six o'clock, the Rev, Mr. Faher appeared upon the ground, and taking his stand upon a small mound on one side of the lot preach- ed upon the importance of salvation to a congregation not much exceeding 800 persons—a great diminution of numbers as compared with the multitude m the same neighborhood the eacening See or three Sundays, Everything passed off in a qaiet and orderly manner, and not the least disposition was manifested by any one to create adisturbance. A temperance lecture wen de- livered previous to the sermon, to a small collection of people, which was listencd to with attention and respect. Mayor of this city, and the entire Know Nothing ticket for municipal officers bas alsu been chosen. ‘The President, Secretary Dobbin, and General Cass ar- rived at Old Point Comfort to-day. From the South, Bacriwors, Jdne 25, 1854. ‘The New Orleans papers of Monday are received. The Washington @nion denies that Mr. Daniols, Charge to Turin, has resigned or been recalled. An American Dreadful y Beaten. New Haves, June 26, 1854. An American named Tuttle whs attacked and nearly killed last night bya large gang of Irishmen, who were in pursuit of some one, crying out, ‘‘ Where is the d—d Yankee.’’ Tuttle told them he was a Yankee. He had two of his ribs broken, and otherwise terribly beaten. Several arrests have been made. The Markets. Provipgnce, June 24, 1854. Cotton is without change. Wool—The market has been more active, particularly for pulled, which has been taken freely. Sales for the week, 86,100 Ibs. Print ng cloths—There has been an active demand, and prices ort oy mga de. on grades above 60 by 64. Sales, 2, 6 Police Inte! An Attempt to Break Out of diay, the interior of the Tombs was slightly enlivened by the discovery that two prisoners, Joseph Finn, confined onacharge of arson, and Henry Malhoff, confined for d larceny, had made an attempt to break prison, Cireworieg some of the stones from the wall of the cell No. 48, which they occupied together in the “ mur- derer’s tier,” as it is Nermed te. the city prison, owing to persone charged w th or convicted of murder being placed . On Friday afternoon, at the usual hour, they were locked up in their cell by the assistant-keeper, Mr. Crosby, every thing then appearing in tho usual order. On Saturday afternoon, Mr. Crosby made his tour of in- speotion of the cells, which duty since the attemptes pny ol of Wilson C. Doneily, about two months ago, has been most rigidly performed. On coming to the cell in the occupation of these men, he observed on the wall some pewspapera spread out, which be desired should be removed. Eeeing some hesitation on the part of Mal- hoff, who changed color at tne order, he reiterated his and when the = was removed, it was found of the inner lining of the cell had been re- moved, and a hole made large enough to admit the bodies of two men, and that on the removal of an im- mense outer stone, the mortar of which had already been*picked out(the light being seen through the chinks), they could obtain access to the prison yards. Mr. Cros” by immediately caused the cell to be searched, when, under the bed, the stones and rubbish which had been removed frcm the wall were found. Every particle of mortar had been swept from the floor. No tools, ex- | cepting two common knives, could be found. Two blan- | kets, torn into slips, and woven into a rope, were also | discovered, by which it is supposed the men intended to an access to the exterior of the prison. It is perhaps | fortunate for the men their attempt was discovered be- fore they were able to descend intoghe yard; for there they would have had to encounter difffeultics greater than mere removal of stones—the vigilance of men and dogs. Five bwil dogs at night are loored in the prison |) which — range at will. Besides, two keepere— Finley Thomas Loughlin—continually make their rounds during tne night, armed with revolvers ives. Upon the discovery of their attempt- ed escape, the men were removed to separate cell od were chained to the floor, in which conaition it is int ed they sball remain until the authorities of the City Prison are relieved from their presence. Malhoif is the man who managed, some two weeks back, to ¢ffect his eseape from Sergeant Davies, of the Court of General Sersiona. Felonious Assault.—Charles Peterson, a Danish sailor, yr: rrested on Saturday night by oftcer Farlong, of the Fourth ward, on a charge of baving assaulted Timothy O'Connell, of 26 Monroe street, and of having stabbed at him with a large knife, which, owing to the movement of O'Connell, only cut his coat. He was committed by Justice Osborn, on a charge of a felonious assault. nce. he Tombs.—On Satur- Alleged William Johnson, ® young man em- ployed in the telegraph office, 20 Wall stroct, was ar- rested by officer Meteslf, of the Third ward. ona charge of having on Saturday night, in company with another man, ssanulted Henry Mena, living at the corner of Harriron and Greenwich streets, and as he charges, eoized him by the throat, and stole from him salve: watch of the value of $8, and then they attempted to escape, but wore pursued, and Johnson was captured. His companion, who bad the watch in his possession, got clear off. Jounson was taken before Justice Osborn, when he deniod the charge. He was committed to prison for trial. Jersey City News.

Ample arrangements were made by the authorities to prevent cisgraceful scenes, fuch as were enacted in Brooklyn. Nearly the en- tire police force, under Mayor Wall, and about one hundred special deputy Sheriffs, under the Sirection of Major Braisted, were present.

The repeated defeats of the democratsin New Hamp- shire have made them aware of the slight difference that thore is between a Jackson and a Pierce, between the tough and rough Old Hickory, with its broad amplitade of boughs and leaves, under which a na- tion could repese in calraness and security, and the | trim little sappling which has yet many years to grow before it will be able to cast a shade large glare of a-rushlight. The work of governing a par- ty fanecessarily always a difficult one, but in these days it ia rendered ten times more difficult by the imbecility of those who have been entrusted with tho business of leadership—a business to which they have one claim, it must be admitted, that ought to go 8 great way with all who are opposed to heredi- tary offices: they were evidently not born to it. Men who would submit to be reined up ra. ther suddenly by a Jackson would serious ly object to a Pierce trying the same game, for the firet was a great man, while the second is only & respectable gentieman ; and we do not allow men to take liberties merely on account of their genti lity and respectability. They must show somethin: of the ‘ right divine” before they can be permitte the parts of demi-gods. The old classic story about the rash yous Ge leatial who set the world on fire merely through his ‘‘fast driving” and anskilfulness as a whip, was intended to be a warning to all im- matore 5 pay about as much attention to the warning and example it affords as to the pro- mises made while they were seeking places for which they are entirely unfit. The whigs of Massachusetts are in a desperate quandary. Out of Boston the anti-slavery senti- ment is strong in their party; but in Boston it is not quite potential. The whigs of the “ rural dis- tricts” are for getting back the free soilers by exhi- biting a goodly allowance of the feeling now predo- minant in their party; but the Boston leading whigs are rather slow in coming into this arrangement. The gulf that bas separated the whigs from the free soilers has always been ten times wider in the } vicinity of Boston than in any other part of the State. Beside, if the free soilers are to be aod absorbed into the whig party, the Boston leaders know well that one of the consequences of such absorption would be the continued elevation of such men as Mr. Sumner and his associates. Two Mec hence, we shall be engaged in an election hav- ing for its object the choice of a Legislature that must decide upon the fate of Mr. Sumner; and if the present anti-slavery sentiment of the country should endure, how could that gentleman be shelv- ed? Yet that shelved he shall be, is the firm deter- mination"of allthe eminent whigs of Boston, who look upon him and his immediate friends as far worre enemies than sweh men as Mr. Hallet, Col. Greene, and others of that set. The bt tne divided om the question of calling a sort of anti-slavery convention. There has been a story in circulation that the dispute was to be com- romized, no convention to be called, but an address d. It was added that the address would be in the Atlas of this morning; but I certainly have not been able to find it there. It may come out, and it may be suppressed. If the whigs should do nothing, they are likely to be in a worse condition than are the democrats, who could not just at this time muster even a baker's dozen of ghosts out of Bos- ton, and here they rarely have anything. General Cushing, I hear, is to favor Massachusetts with his presence, in the course of a few days. The people of Newburyport are getting up an extra celebration of the all-glorious Fourth of July, at which all the sons and daughters of the place that are worth having, and who are still living, are to be invited, with, I suppose, some ed few exceptions. As Newburyport has been prolific in clever men and women, it is expected that there will be a great time there on the Fourth. I haven’t heard that Mr. Garrison bas been invited, though he is a native of the town, and used to be a strong friend of the Attorney-General, in old times. Indeed, Mr. Garri- son’s talents were first noted by Geveral Cushing, who has always had a sharp eye for things of the kind. It would be a cui sight to see them meet—in a crowd.” Chief Justice Wells, of our Common Pleas Court, | in Raymond | died yesterday afternoon, after a very short illneas. He was attacked with congestion of the langa on Thursday afternoon, and was apparently better on Friday morning, bot died ina few hours. He was holding court in Boston at the time of the attack. He had been State Attorney for our Western dis- trict, and was sixty-three years old. He had a respectable, but not a high rank, as a lawyer anda judge. The editor of the Post ha accused the senior editor of the Atlas of something very like an em- bezvlement of government money—t first suc- ceeded the other as naval officer of this port—the latter has published a most satisfactory reply, and shown that his accuser has been bearing something ike be by ey Png “y ing No one be- leved tl 'ost’s ; but very pleasing to see the emphatic manner in which Me Hadson hat disposed of the charge. Editors ought to be more tender of one another's roputations, and at least not make of each other the subject of libela. “ Hawks will pot pick out hawks’ eyes,” is an old saying, and one by which the editorial fraternity might profit, though it seems little inclined to do so. The editor of the Post is pecuniarily honest himself, and ought to admit that others can be so Mr. Robineon, formerly of the Lowell American, \_has gone into the editorial department of the Com: mer wealth, much to the gain of that journal in vigor und raciness. Jt bas been sought to edit that paper on the delicate scale, greatly to the disgust of the progressive free soiers, whove intellectnal di- yestion beng equal ‘to the assimilatim of tenpenny nuilenot to say spikes and bolts bee Leen forced to content iteelf with soda bivenit There will be no such nonsense any longer attempted. Mr. Robinson will give to his reaccis the srongest kind of meat. Heia note & Claor thinker ond @ vigorous writer, but a mas of ind pendent mind, «hich is a great thing in aa | editor—when he cen afford to maintain it, Last ycar he gave lir, C. ¥, Adams a proof of bis inde. ! ¥ iff ms “it itt i Z i thee sense of A nized their perfect ri peer without a 5 ave asked to be excused trom bu: oleae iy you ure sought paged none cxirtcd, for cisparaging labors slavery cause, | have this to che ge reply, vis. for the lust five years and a halt I have given alt time, all I have received from my, Sayan.

If they could make tue bill satis- factory to the people, restore to the President his iost popularity, and cause the election of two demo- cratic Senators in New Hampshire, it would be much more to the purpore. “ Class a paseed off excellently at Cambrid, yesterday. » R.

A poem by Mr. Preston was well written and happily delivered. The was very large. Last winter our Legislature pasaed “An act to the first section of which is prevent incendiarism,” as follows :— ‘Whenever any buildiog or otlier property in the Com- monwealth sball be destroyed by fire, and a so gar within ten days tbereafter shall be subscril and swornto before any justice of the peace for the county where such fire shall happen, alleging that reasonable junds exist for believiug that said fire was not acci- Sental tn ite origin, but wae caused by design, it shall be the duty of such justice fortuwith to issue his warrant to eome constable of the town or city where such pro- pedty was destroyed, requiring him to summon imme- liately six goo and lawful men of the county to appear before said justise at the time and place ex; the warrant, to inquire when, how, and by what means said fre originated.

The most prominent speak- ers gave it to be understood that they consi the Nebraska question one of much more import- ance than the temperance question. All allusions of mere heen hyd character were vehemently ap- plaused, while those made to temperance were as coldly received as—water. At the rate that tolls are now taken on the bridges between here and Charlestown it is calcu- jated that those nuisances may be completely abated by the lat of October, 1855, unless the cheata; a tod veka seta | — are or arpose of avoidin; ments of rates. z e.caoma. * News from Texas. We take the following items from the San Anto- nia Ledger of the 8th:— ActivE Orgrations.—A field bat in all its parte, drawn by oxen, arrived here lately from Corpus Christi. When the Indians see such active operations as these, they will certainly cease their depredations and vamose. Eighteen thousand pounds of ordnance stores, from the same point, by the same {fast line, were meta few since on the way to Eagle » The pony, may now be considered safe. By the way, is General Smith aware of the fact that transportation costs more by this route than by the way of Indianola? If not, he should inquire: of the carmen who do his hauling, and they will tell him that they will carry muc! cheaper from Indianola than Corpus. ex- mare & small item when Uncle Sam has to foot e bill.

On Sunday night about one o'clock, ir. Norwood was awakened ", the report of two muskets, which were almost immediately followed by two more. On Wednesiay night, one more musket was fired. The muskets were loaded with balls. One of the balls passed entirely pte the heure; another struck the joint of the ofa window, cutting it throngh and breaking the four ee panes of glass; a third passed t! th the bert ae ied Nor tegen a Letty tow sitting on the mantle- , and lodged in the plas- tering, from which it ve dag out by our informant. A new ball was picked up in the yard, as also was some of the wadding. balls about a foot over Mr. Norwood and his wife as they lay in bed, and, as might be expected under such circumstan- ces, they feel considerably alarmed. The object of the assarsin is unknown, as Mr. N. bas had no trouble with any one, that would lead to such an attack. — Glcucesier Telegraph.
