A HOUSE During the mel¢e which followed an iron ar was thrown at the police from a public house (tavern) at the corner of Queen street, where several rioters had taken refuge. The police constables therevpon stormed the house, broke the doors and captured the {nmates, whom they belabored with savage blows. ATTEMPT TO RESCUE THE PRISONERS.

The City Patrolled Day and Night and a Large Military Force in the Dangerous Quarters. THE INTERNATIONAL WORKING SECRE(LY Draconic Orders of the Military—Disturbances To Be Quelled in Blood. TELEGRAM TO THE NEW YORK HERALD. We have received the following special despatch from the Heraxp correspondent at the French capital :— Paris, Sept. 4, 1871. There is great agitation among the danger- ous classes in Paris. Last night and to-day infantry and cavalry patrols bave been pass- ing to and fro, through all parts of the city, but in greatest number through the revo- lutionary quarters—Bellevillc, La Villette and Menilmontant. THE INTERNATIONAL AT WORK, The government is informed of an intended demonstration by the International Society on the 4th of September (to-day), the anni- versary of the French republic, The military authorities are on the alert, and have made preparations to suppress. any attempt to cele- brate the day. THE TROOPS, There are about sixty thousand troops dis- tributed all over the elty. A very large force is consigned to the farracks in Belleville, where the population is said to be wholly under the influence of the International mee THE BLOUSES. Many blouses are idle, others have left work as if by some preconcerted arrangement. They are congregating around the mairies or excitedly discussing in the wine shops whether the celebration should take place in spite of the interdiction of the government. Thus far no crowds have collected, for as soon as a knot of malcontents is formed the police inter- fere and dissolve it. THE INTERNATIONAL WORKING IN SEOREOY. Since the passage of the bill making it punishable to belong to the International the influence of that society has been increasing in secrecy. The approaching dissolution of the National Guard is contemplated by many with apprehension, It is feared that the measure will throw a large number of men into the ranks of the International Society, THE AUTHORITIES PREPARED, The precautions of the government are so complete that the populace will, probably, not dare to attempt a demonstration. The orders of the military authorities are absolute and severe. Any disturbances would be qnelled in blood, as the troops have orders to fire on the first provocation. THE INTERNATIONAL IN OTHER CITIES. The cities of Lyons, Marseilles and Bor- deaux, where similar demonstrations have been arranged by the International, are also filled with troops, and the government will enforce everywhere the circular which it has issued forbiddiag the celebration.

ENGINERRS’ MAS§ MBETING. ‘A mass meeting of engineers was held at New- castie-on-Tyne Saturday, attended by fully eight thousand persons, at which it was determined to insist upon the arrangement of the term of labor of nine hours per day for six days in the week, or fitty- four hours in all.

V. williams and Carolina, and the English vesseis Lady Bird and Nellie Mowe were wrecked. All hands were saved. The British ves- sel Hamlet lost one man overboard. FOREIGN TOPICS. Is Mr. Gladstone Falling ¢ The Spectator says “No.” The politicians, and they are many, who are speculating on the speedy fall of this government, are reckoning, as we sus- pect, without (heir host. They are reasoning as if ‘we were living under the old constitution, and forget that in 1867 it pleased Mr. israeli to lay new toundations for the constitutional power. There can be little doubt in the mind of any candid man that if the Gladstone Minisiry were still responsible to the old niasters of the country, the ten-pound aristocracy, it would speedily come toanend. All the symptoms which used to presage an approach- change of administration are visible to the least instracted eyes. ‘he Lords are angry to fury; the Commons aie mutinous and discontented; the clubs are full of critics; “society” 1s in Steg Td sarcasm; iuck has declared against the Ministry; and the T.wes, after muttering threats for months, 13 at last open in its denunciations. Nothing can happen, little or great, which is not the Premier's fault, and very few disagreeabie tnings which are not traceable and traced to lis malice pre; ‘There can be no doubt as to the meaning of all this, and very little that if things were as tney used to be the meaning would be patent in a very short time. But things are not as they used to be, and in spite of club opinion, and dinner table opinion, and House of Commons opinion, we feel exceedingly doubtful whether this Ministry may not have an- other four years’ tenure of power. In survivu this session the Cabinet has survived its greates! danger—that of being compelied to resign without aaissolution. A dissolution will next year become, at all events, poseibie; the electors are, therecore, masters; and we can see nothing in any of the events of the session which will induce them to transfer their allegiance from Mr. Gladstone to any other chief, Spanish Abolitiont Slavery in Cuba. The Madrid Propaganda of July 22 tells of a great meeting of abol tiontsts that took place in the the- atre of the Alhambra, in that city. In the absence of Don Ferdinand de Castro, Don Manuel Luis de Quevedo presided. There were several noted poli- tictans and a great number of ladies present, In opening the meeting the President explained at great length the abolition movements now going on iu different provinces, and expressed the desire to have frequent general meetings for the purpose of advising the pubic of the actions of the pro-slavery party that had receatiy arrived in Spain, and ‘Whose object was to perpetuate slavery by means of new importations of Africans and Chinese, One of tne secretaries referred to the organization of numerous committees of the abolitionists in the provinces, Includ- ing one at Seville, at the head of which was the rector of the university of that city and oth G Malaga, Greneas, Jaen and Velez-Malaga, He aivo read a report declaring lilegal and void the contracts made between masters and those negrocs who had been captured and declared tree.

Speech of G aeral Butler in Lynn—His Views on Bailroads and Their Management—How to Prevent Aoccidents—What an Engineer Should Be—His Responsibilities His Pay-The Labor Question— Workingmen Wgrned Against Strikes—The aws Compe tont to Protect All Classes. Lynn, Masa., Sept, 4, 1871, Ben Butler, the invincible, indomitable and per- sistent champion of the labor reformers and “‘inde- pendent" citizens of Massachusetts, spread himself before an audience of at least four thousand people at Music Hallgin this city to-night. The occasion was rendered all the more eventiul, insomuch as Lynn, besides being the Orst large city out of Boston on the line of the Eastern Rauroad, which, by the way, caughs @ severe raking down for its goings on during the past three weeks, is also the largest shoe manufacturing town in the Commonwealta and bas been the scene of as many labor strikes, per- haps, a¢ any city of ita size in the United States. [t was only the other day that the daughters of St. Crispin made a stand for themselves im this goodiy city, and, like the rest of thetr brethren, succeeded iu accomplishing their end. The views of the Gen- eral ou this subject, therefore, were looked forward to with @ great deal of interest, and possibly the expectation of hearing them clearly and forcibly enumerated was the impell- ing power which filed the hall. He said little about labor, however, except a repetition of the subject matter of his Springileld and Worcester speeches, but devoted the greater part of bis time toa REVIEW OF THR RECENT RAILROAD DISASTER at Revere. In the first place, he sald, an investt- Gatton of the causes of the accident, so far as all matiers of prevention are concerned, through & coroner’s jury, 18 illusory and vain, ‘Che coroner’s jury was an invention of our ancestors for an enurely different purpose.

We need no coroner's jury, in this case, to tell us where the fauit ltea—nor. indeed, in any case of a railroad accident—or, whence. the mischief spripgs. it will be all found to spring from the present IMPERFECT SYSTEM OF RAILROAD MANAGEMENT, and emphatically so m the case now before us, Let me not be misunderstood. 1 do not mean to say that any one of the directors of the Eastern Ratl- road, either or all, are men who intend to be remiss in their duty or to leave anything undone which they think ought to be aone, as railroads are now managed. for the safety and convenience of travel; but I do mean to say that the system of manage- ment of the ratlroads of tne Commonwealth an: of the country is er.oneons and not equal to the re- quirement of pubite travel, and can be changed and reguiated only in one way, and that way is by stringent, accurate anu well considered legisiation. ‘The General next enlarged, in pursuance of this subject, upon the importauce of a consolidation of the Boston and Maine and Eastern railroads. If any two mdividuais owned ihese roads they would have been long since consolidated. They would have pntan end to an expensive and fruitless competi- tion, They wourd have merged their rolling stuck might have been averted if the reserved rolling stock of the Boston and Mame road could have been used to meet the increased demand of the camp meeting and muster passengers on the Hastern road, so that the accommodation train could have left the station on time. The depot grounds of these two roads lie side by side, and although boti are more or jess pinched for room, neither will give way. By consolidation, by a merger of the two, their depot can pe arranged at once 80 a3 to accommodate the public and save the great nuisance and danger co the lives of citizens by ranning trains into Haymarket square across the crowded streets of tne city; yet neither of thoye roads hus asked the Legislature to empower them to unite, which would seem to the commonest apprehension to be for the interests of both. Why, then, is it notthe duty of the Legisiature to come tn and compel these creatures of its own char- ters, Into which it has breathed ‘he breath of life py its own power, so to exercise thelr chartered rights a8 to give the greatest accommoda- ton, convenience, and, above all, safety to the pubic? If it ts said that the people might lose by the union because competition tenis to lessen the rates of fare and frelgnt, to that Tanswer that the fares and freights of these roads are no cheaper than those on other roads ranning out of Boston to points where there is no such com- petition, I have felt it m. duty and privilege to make these suggestions, but the difficulty why we have not supstantially ABSOLUTE SAFETY IN RAILROAD TRAVEL ltes aeeper than all this, and is appiicable to the general system of railroad management and can be summed up in asingle word.

This new victim to misfortune proves te have been Alexander R. Withers, a native of Sing- land, The well-founded rumors which are now wfoat concerning his melancholy career in tine country are notning more than a repetition of the story told a thousand mes before—wicked associations, fnancial embarrassments, despair and @ violent and mysterious death, Alexander R, Withers was a member of a highly respectable family m gland, but lost his parents at an early age. Through the kindness of his relatives, how- ever, he received @ thorough classical education, and became an honor to the society in which he moved. He was employed asa clerk by a leading banking firm, which position, as far as can be as- certained, he filled with credit to himself, Being of @ Dervous temperament and high!y sensitive, he de- termined, @ few months ago, for some irivotous reason. to seek elevation in another land. He ar- rived in this country, and soon found himselt WITHOUT FRIBNDS AND WITHOUT PROSPECTS of realizing his ideal, He engageG a room aa@ boarded in No. 12 Hudson terrace, Hoboken, where, fortunately, he formed the acquaintance of two young gentiemen who endeavored in every way to alleviate tho sorrows which ill fortune had broughs upon him, A situation was procured for him tn the ofice of James Rett & Co., 45 Broad street, and is seemed as if Withers waa destined to enjoy more happy days. Yet he owed a large sum to the keeper of the hor but even this dificulty he could man- age to overcome had he hearkened to the advice given him by his new associates. This he fatica to do, Aud then began 4 NEW SCENE in the tragedy, in which Withers was the chief actor, which speedily paved tne ray to his doom. He became connected with some of the very men im Hoboken who have allured many another innocent, unoffending youth and entangled him in the meshes ol vice and crime. About two miles from the Hobo- ken ferry 19 a locality witich is Known to every rest- dent of Hoboken as “UP THE ROAD,’ Here are kept some of the VILEST DENS THAT CAN BE FOUND in any quarter of the globe. ‘These Institutions are not the work of any immigrant; they are the crea- tion of gangs of rumianly politicians of Hoboken. Many @ family has been overwhelmed with grief through the connection of some of its members wits the miniature helis in this neighborhood.

If was to. thisde- lectable locaiity that Withers was invited and sub- sequently introduced by a Hoboken man, whose name is withueld for the present. The deluded Englishman in a short time became infatuated wits one ol the iemales. 1n the meantime he FAILED TO PAY HIS DEBTS to those who had betrended him in his hour of need, and lavisned all his money on the dame Wnose acquaintance Hoboken officials had vii- lanously aide’ him to form. Jt is needless: to state that he soon found himself in the condition ol a beggar. He was ordered in the early part of last week to collect small sums of movey due to Reid & Co., and on Thursday he suc- ceeded in gathering $38, besides a check described im yesterday’s HgRkaLD. What he did with this mohey has not yet been definitely determined; but if the police of the district above named exert them- selves a littie it will probably leak out, On Tnurs- day evening, at_half-past nine o'clock, he way seem crossing from New York to a@ Barclay street ferry- boat to Hoboken, pacing up snd dowa the deck IN A MELANCHOLY MOOD. A friend bade him good nigit, but Withers too® ho notice of him. When he lauded in Hoboken he ‘Was seen to go towards Union Hill, most likely to the abode of the scarlet Women maintained by polt- lictans. ‘Thus reportis confirmed by the fact that after ten o'clock on the same night he rushed hur. riedly mto # liquor store Kept at tue tutersection of Willow street with the horse railroad, and in ® very excited state asked for a glase of ice water. ‘the store is kept by an kng- lishman and his two sisters; but there ia no troth tn the report tnat one of these sisters was she with whom Witvers had been on terms of Intimacy. He had a photograph of one of them in his possession when found, but {t had been given im an innocent manner, and no significance need be attached to it, When Withers drank the water Le asked Miss McGuigen (that 1s the lady’s name) to lend him a dollar, Miss McGuigen replied that sne had no money she could afford to lend him. Here- upon he hastily bade her adieu and went away, no one knows where. He had olten spoken to them of hus apprehensions regarding THE SAPRTY OF HUMAN LIFR, .in a lonely piace Mke Union Hull, and repeatediy askea which Was the saiest road to travel by. Whether lis fears were well founded cannot yet be told. Some believe that, frenaied with remorse, he repaired to the lonely seashore above the cave wad pnt ao end Lo his existence, and beileve bim to have Previously spent the collected money at Onion Hil. Others think ne was robbed at the house of lil-re- pute, whence he came away in despair, while most persons adhere to the theory that he was waylaid and rovbed, lis vody being thrown info the river by the thieves. This seems the more probavie whea coupled witn the fact that Dr. diitcheli, on making oo post morte. examination yesterday, found tna DEEP WOUNDS Were inflicted on the leit siae of the head witha Diunt instrument sufficient to cause death, The in- quest has not yet been commenced, but is set down by Coroner Volwatdt for six o'clock this evening. A jury, however, was sworn yesterday, and Mr, Her- Mano Stake Was appointed foreman. Whatever May turn out to have been tne cause of death, his fll fate must be a warning to thoussnas who are placed im like circumstances, and the notorious citizens of Hoboken who make trips “up the road” in carriages by night would do well to remember that this case aione 1s suficient to bring down upon them the condemnation of every one who bas the interests of society at heart.
