that there ate symptoms of a hostile meeting

Gloucester Tel. v•aph announces the arrival of
schooner Mary Niles, Capt. l'uol, from the Bay
r. Lawrence. Captain Pool states that he, with
.. were driven out of the Bay of Chaleur by the
.teamship Da vastation. The captain of the
...ration told Captain Pool that he should not

when Captain Pool run up his flag. A second gas
was tired, when Captain l'uol supposed he wanted
hitn, and he accordingly heaved to, in order to hosed
him. and he sevordingly did so. l'his was no sooner
done. however, than a shot came booming across his
bow. Captain Pool then ran for the steamer, when
the captain told him what we have stated above.
The (Aileen of the steamer were making every effort
so catch the vessels.
In the Senate, on the 2 ith ult., among other
amendments to the Civil and Diplomatic 14111, Sena-
tor Hunter proposed that hereafter there shall be a
minister plenipotentiary to China, at a salary of
11,000 dols., instead of a commissioner, and a minister
plenipotentiary to Turkey instead of a minister
resident. Senator Clarke opposed the change with
regard to China, partly for the reason that there was
nu setual necessity for any other representatives than
consuls, and partly became it would interfere with
the position of Han. Humphrey Marshall, who had
resumed his seat in the House of Representatives for
the purpose of filling the commiaaiouerahip.
Mr. Benton has been returned as senator for
The Committee of Enquiry into the Lake Erie
otastnithe have been prosecuting their labours.
Th. et ideate went to inculpate the propeller strongly,
but as. of course ez-pirte though clear and straight
forward. There appeani little doubt that the pro-
r believed she could pass the steamer's bow, and
went ahead accordingly:, while the rules of navigation
required her to put her helm sport and pass astern.
The committee rind, after an investigation, that the
steamer was well provided with life preservers, but
the loss of presence' of mind prevented the passengers
availing themsches of them.
It is announced that the British cutter Netley
has cleared the Bay of' Fundy of American fisher-
men.
A document bus been published giving an official
return of fishing vessel', which have been captured
since 1817, one year before the ratification of the
treaty between this country and Great Britain in re-
latier. to the fisheries. It will be seen that twenty-
fire vessels were Relied between the years 1817 and
Ih2l, twenty.rwo of which were restored, and but
three condemned. Between 11421 and 1851 thirty-
live vessels were seized, four of which only were re-
stored, and thirty-one condemned.
The greatest possible excitement exists among the
Buffalo firemen, who have tied up their engines and
disbanded their companies because the new charter
tale. from them the privilege of selecting their chief
enginect and gives it to the people. The common
council have invited the citizens to come forward and
enrol themselves as members, and a furious riot is
appn headed on the first alarm of fire.
Cholera has again made its appearance in Victor*
in Texas.
At a German ball in Lexingtou-street, Phila
delphia, on the 24th ult., a riot occurred, and a Ger-
man named Potts was killed by a pistol shot. Others
were badly wounded.
A letter dated St. Louis, August 23, 1852, states
that the steamer Franklin No. 2, for Louisville, burst
her boiler six miles below that city on the 22nd.
'thirty persons were scalded, nine killed, and six are

General Scott has received a telegraphic despatch
