TILE ELLSLER RIOT.—INFAMOUS OCTRAGE.—WC have
seldom been called upon to record an outrage more dis-
graceful to the city than that which occurred here on Fri-
day night, on the occasion of the Fanny Ellsler serenade.
The facts in the case were briefly as follows:—It was un-
derstood• that a number of her countrymen contemplated
giving a brilliant musical entertainment to the accom-
plished dancer, who has won such well deserver' cele.
brity in a most graceful and elegant art. There was
nothing objection„.ble in any wise in the proposed um
plimrnt. It is customary, and, instead of annuyin,., is
calculated to give pleasure to all who are within the
hearing of it. In the present instance, some five or six
thousand people had collected in front of the American
Hotel, the place of' Fanny Ellsler's residence, to enjoy
the anticipated serenade.
Between one and two o'clock on Saturday morning the
serenaders, some sixty or more in number, appeared With
their instruments and music stands, which they fixed in
the middle of the street, and the signal was given for the
music to comin• nee. At this moment a gang of rioters,
woo ralited with the Loco Foco watchword of 0. K.,
rushed upon the serenade rs, dispersed them, destroyed
many of their instruments, broke up and burned their
stands, and all this witboat interruption from the surround-
ing multitude, and without interference from the police.
The wretches who committed this outrage are said to be
the same who attacked the Germans in the winter, when
one of the assailants was fortunately killed. This is their
revenge. At that time we expressed our regret that more
of the vagabonds had not fa,len ; and if there is no police
to prevent such scenes, and there are no laws to punish
them, we cannot but regret that the perpetrators of the
present outrage escaped with their lives and limbs.--. Yew
York Courier and Inquirer.
An unpleasant report has reached us that a few days
ago, as the American steam-boat Chesapeake was return-
ing from Chippewa to Buffalo, some men of the coloured
company, commanded by Captain Macdonald, stationed at
Fort Erie, fired several rounds of musketry at her.
We understand that the commandant of the garrison at
Buffalo has con municated on the subject with his Excel-
lency Sir Gorge Arthur, ia which case there eau be no
doubt of the matter undergoing investigation, and that the
offenders will be visited with such punishment as upon
conviction the nature and extent of the crime may call
for th. Toronto Colonist.
We learn that Col. Bankhead, commanding at this
post has received a communication from the Lieut -Col
of the 93d Highlanders, at the Falls, enclosing a copy of
the opinion of the Court of Inquiry ordered on account
of the firing upon the Cincinnati and Chesapeake by the
coloured soldiers at Waterloo. From the testimony sub-
mitted to the Court, it appears that gross provocation was
offered by those in each boat. The British officer ad-
mits that the firing, notwithstanding the provocation he
mentions, was entirely unjustifiable, and says the most
rigorous measures will be adopted to discover and severely
punish the offenders. At the time the outrages were com-
mitted there was no officer in command at Waterloo.
Effectual precautions against the repetition of like offences
have been promptly taken.—Buffalo Commercial Adver-

tiser.
AN EXTRA PASSENGER.—The steamboat Cleopatra,
as we leann from Capt. Dustan, on her passage from New
York to this city, on Wednesday night last, encountered
a must severe storm, accompanied with powerful rain,
vivid lightning, and most terrific peals of thunder, which
fairly shook the boat to its centre, alarming most of the
passengers, and among the rest, one of the ladies, who
prematurely made an addition to the number of passen-
gers. The boy and mother are both doing well. The
boy was immediately christened Boanerges (son of Thun-
der). if not a romantic name, it must be appropriate.

TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.—Mr. Charles Wilson, of Riga,
while threshing with a machine a few days since, was
caught by his frock with the shaft, drawn into the ma-
chinery, and was most horribly mangled. His right arm
has since been amputated, and notwithstanding his severe
injuries, hopes of his recovery arc entertained,—Rochester
Democrat.

FIRM—The alarm at 9 o'clock last evening proceeded
from the building No. 323, Broadway, occupii'l by
Charles Reynolds as a billiard-room and porur house.
The fire was extinguished with but little damage to the
building.
At a quarter cast one this morning fire was discovered
in the lo.ier part of Latmottte HA, No. 579, Broadway,
occupied by Messrs. \Vimlle and on as a furnishing store.
the interior of the building was considerably injured, and
the stock entirely deoroyed or much damaged.
A PROFITABLE VOTAGE..—.The ship Hector arrived at
New Bedtotd, from the Pacific, Sunday evening, with a
cargo of twenty-seven hundred barrels of oil—having been
out only twenty-six months! The cargo is worth about
twenty thousand dollars.

the market firm. 1
,500 bags Cuba have been sold at 10

son ; Codfish arrives slowly, and is in demand at our quo.
tations.
Flour—Since our last there has been an animated de-
mand for Flour, owing to the arrival of additional orders
from England, per the Great Western. It is estimated
that shout 25 000 to 30,000 bbls have changed hands,
principally for shipment, at $5.25 for common brands of
Western and flat hooped Ohio; and $5.31 a $5.371 for
fancy.
Grain—We have again to advance our rates for Wheat
—the export demand continues. A lot of 2,000 bushels
Western has been sold at about 118 c., and a lot of 10,000
bus. supposed at 12*., both fur shipment to England—

early in the week, at prices within our range ; prime qua-
lities are in demand.

considered rather unfavourable, and no sales have been
made for export wortf.y of note.

been s,,ht for export at 29} cts. Linseed is in demand at
impr,ving rate s-2,000 gallons English have been taken
at 75 ets. 6 mos.
Provisiutia—Beef is doing a little better, and sales
have re..ehed cur highest quotations, which are given fur
beef packed in the season for packing (cold weather)
and that only. Pork has gone off rather more freely,
'he beat qualities reaching our highest quotations. Tie
quantity of beef at market, of that packed in the fall,
does riot exceed 1,500 bbls. of all kinds, and the pork at
minket, particularly prime, has gone off more rapidly,
and the stock i,i very small. Lard—Salea have reached
12 cents fur the best quality northern ; the stock on hand
v.ry limited. Butter is dull at 12 to 18 cents. Large

Teas, imported in the ships Zenobia and Eben Preble.
The sale was well attended and former prices were well
supported. A large sale is announced for Thursday next.
Therefore no sales of consequence can be expected to Wit(
place in the interim.
Tob7cco—The sales of Kentucky Tobacco for the week
have been 2 to 300 hhds :air quality in various lots, at
prices ranging from 8 to 9 c
,on the usual credit. For
Foreign we have no sale worthy of record.

sufficient consequence to cause us to alter our quotations.
The demand is strictly limited to the wants of the trade.
and the common descriptions only arc in request.
Wool—The market is well supplied with fleece and
pulled wool, but the demand continues very limited. Owing
to the great depression of all kinds of woollen goods, the
manufacturers feel indisposed to buy at present prices, and
are pnrsuaded that the article Cannot advance, but will, in
all probability, continue to decline.
Freights.—We have no improvement to notice in
freights. Cotton is taken to Liverpool at id. a Jd. ; na-
-1 vet mom, 2a. 6d. a 36. ; flour, 2s. Pd. a as. i grain, tid.
