are too well aware of their own dignity, they have
too much respect for themselves and fer the great

Consular Fasces. Let but the Liberals remember
what was therein syMbolised, and act amongst
themselves accordingly. The need there is for this
harmonious combination is worthy of consideration
here at home, moreover, as well as far and wide
over the European Continent.

interests which are confided to them, to think for a

single moment of resenting from petty pique the
deliberate action of the House of Commons."
We must suppose it is the fear on the part of the
Commons of being supposed to look to their own
class, but we certainly think of all taxes that have
a claim to remission the Income Tax stands first.
That is emphatically a war tax, or at best a tax for
an exigency such as that with which
Sir B. PEEL
began his financial reforms. It has now, compared
with all other taxes, a prior claim to abolition.
It is still, as ever, the most personally offensive tax
s Lich a free man, and especially a free Englishman,
can pay; its asking personal secrets will ever make
it odious. Its unequal pressure makes it the sum
of fiscal injustice ; the provocation of its injustice,
and the -possibility of evasion, make it the strongest
temptation to fraud

In
eces-
sity, but as a p.
war time we make up our minds to hardships, but
in time of peace we ought to be taxed with
common equity. We cannot doubt, also, that
it robs most other taxes, and checks trade
as much as even an Excise duty. If the tax-
gatherer curtails the income of the middle classes, of
course they must spend so much less, and employ
so much less labour. Thousands of families even
give up a newspaper, and purchase less of tea,
because the Income Tax absorb their hard-earned
money, and deprives them of the most reasonable
luxuries. Had the Income Tax been reduced
this year to sevenpence, we cannot doubt
that trade and commerce would have gained
more by it than by either leaving the duty on tea
or repealing that on paper; at the same time the
revenue would have felt the advantage of in-
creased family expenditure. The forms of the
house will permit Mr. DISRAELI to make such an
amendment when the bill is brought before it, and
if he does he will, we believe, have such support
from outside as he has not yet experienced.
Whether consumers would feel any immediate
relief from lower tea duties, may be doubted—none
will doubt the relief that would be instantly given
by the reduction of the income tax.

A letter, addressed to a weekly contemporary, is
worth the attention of all who take an interest in
the building trades strike, or in the Ballot, or in
both. At Bolton the masters, both spinners and
power-loom weavers, considered a reduction of five
per cent. on the wages of their operatives to be
necessary. The men struck, and had been on strike
for six weeks. The leaders of the Spinners' Union
advised the men to accept the reduction, and to ask
for a rise when trade improved. This prudent
advice was clamoured down by many of the more
thoughtless, and there is no doubt that much suffer-
ing and privation was in consequence endured by
many families, for it seems as if the younger hands
were the most opposed to accepting the advice of
the Union.

Fortunately, however, it occurred, to what
seemed to be the minority of the prudent ones
to suggest that a ballot should be taken in
each mill whether the negotiation with
the employers should be left in the hands
of the committee which had given them the
wise 'counsel when a decided majority voted
the affirmative. The weavers had been out for a
longer period, and they voted direct on the question
" Going in or stopping out." Alain the majority,
protected by the Ballot, " voted for going on with,
their work rather than begging from the public.'
Thus, in two instances, two things were plainly
proved respecting working men. First, that the
majority of them are men of sound common sense,
open to conviction, and ready to act wisely if at
liberty to do so. Secondly, teat working men, like
all other men, may be intimidated by a noisy ma-
jority, and compelled to act in opposition to their
better judgment. The shame of seeming to desert
one's party, above all the fear of annoyance, have
the same effect on Bolton operatives as on the Mi-
nisterial and Opposition benches of the House of
Commons. Tyrannically minded workmen are to
be found as well as tyrannically minded landlords,
' and understand as well how, in their way, to coerce
their fellow men.
Is the example we have quoted not worth the
attention of the thousands of right minded men
connected with the present strike in the building
trades. Why should not they, now, demand a
ballot of the whole body on the question whether
to accept the last offer of the masters, to work by
the hour, with a Saturday half-holiday and an
advance of wages, or to stand out for nine hours a
day and the old pay. From the manner in which
the masters' proposal has been received we have
little doubt that the vast majority of the operatives
in these trades would joyfully accept the masters'
offer, and that a ballot would show that the men
really appreciated the conciliatory spirit in which
that offer was made.
Politicians, too, may certainly learn their lesson
from the spinners and weavers of Bolton. They
see that amongst them the Ballot gave the majority
to what even the other side would confess were
moderate counsels. Nor have we the smallest
doubt that in this sense, what Lord DERBY calls
" that skulking hole of political cowardice—vote
by Ballot," would be found to be eminently Con-
servative. Men are never so moderate as when
their action is uninfluenced by external excitement,
when they are thrown upon judgment and
conscience, and the calm calculations of prudence,
just because they cannot be appealed- to b 7 otther I
bribes or threats, or by the unreasoning clamour of
agitators and their partizans. Conservatism sub-
sists now by bribery in many boroughs, by influence
in small agricultural boroughs, and by direct
exertion of landlord power in the counties. For
th;s artificial, bad, and tyrannical Conservatism,
the Ballot would substitute a better. There would
be a great deal of Conservatism still, but it would
be that of the moderate and the prudent, of those
who thought safety of more consequence than
travelling by the Reform Express Train.

How "many a slip 'twist the cup and the lip
has not the Despotic Party upon the Continent had
of late! Not in one country alone, but in many
countries. The Defence of Gael* was to restore
FRANCIS IL safe and sound to his throne as Lord
Paramount of the Two Sicilies. But—alas ! after
a protracted defence—Gaeta fell, as every be-
leaguered fortress somehow does fall in the end.
The disturbances in the Abruzzi were to do the
work of re-habilitation a little later on more effec-
tually. A spark kindled there by an emissary of
the exiled monarch was to light up a conflagration
that would scare away Garibaldians and Pied-
montese, and reveal to astonished Europe the
triumphal return of the ex-King—like the last scene
of the last act of" Masaniello," with GARIBALDI, Of
course, as the doomed Fisherman. Lamentable to
relate, however, the fuse was damp or the gun-
powder itself saturated with the despairing tears of
those who laid the train—the train itself would not
light, it spluttered and flashed for a moment or two
like a bad "squib," or, perhaps, we should call it
more appropriately a bad " cracker"—and lo!
there was no conflagration. In an opposite corner
of the European Continent—there was a
golden opportunity opening like a Fairy
Future before the Czar ALEXANDER ! Autocracy
was in the Ascendant ! Despotism was taking
the initiative in wholesale philanthropy. The
Emperor-High-Priest, the Head of the Greek
Church, the irresponsible Monarch of All the
Russias, by a stroke of his grand autocratic pen,
manumitted 20,000,000 serfs out of the 60,000,000
of the Muscovite Population. Scarcely, however,
had Western Europe awakened to a recognition
of this astonishing incident in the history of
modern civilisation, when—Piff ! Puff !—the streets
of Warsaw were swimming with blood ; the
pavements were littered with dead, wounded, and
dying; the Poles, men, women, children, were
being massacred by the order of Prince GORTS-
CLIAKOFF in the name and at the behest of his Im-
perial MAJESTY the Emperor-Philanthropist.
" Hope," there too, as in the song, " told a flatter-
ing tale." The halcyon vision of Russia forsaking
an Autocracy for a Constitutional form of Govern-
ment faded out—almost before the news had been
proclaimed that the twenty million serfs had been
emancipated. The jubilee caused by the " decree"
died out under the wailing heard from the scene of
the massacre. Reverting, however, to Italy, there
was that—first of all Coolness, but after-
wards—fierce and stormy Quarrel between
GARIBALDI on the one part, and upon
either aide of him, to the right and to the
left, the KING'S Minister and the KING'S General,
CAYOUR and CIALDINI. What hopes must there not
have been raised in the hearts of the aspirants for
Reactionary Honours by the tidings of that alarm-
ing scene in the Italian Parliament ! Everything
was pronounced then to be, on the contrary, hope-
less with the popular party in the Roman penin-
sula. GARIBALDI would never be reconciled more
to Count CAYOUR —he could never again grasp the
hand of the man who, in his picturesque and touch-
ing phrase, had rendered him him of all
men ! " a Foreigner in his own country,"
that country, too, which his sword had guided
to political independence. GARIBALDI, again,
could never embrace as a " brother-in-arms"
that out-spoken CIALDINI, who had reviled
him—him, GARIBALDI ! so loudly and un-
compromisingly. Yet—somehow here again the
Reactionists have proved to have been counting as
usual without their host. GARIBALDI did concede
in both instances—to the right and to the left—did
grasp the hand of CAYOUR, did embrace his reviler,
CIALDINI. The champions of Continental despotism
thereby have had another lesson of magnanimity
from that foremost among the great Leaders of Men
now opposed to them. For the good of the cause
he had at heart, for the furtherance to the uttermost
of those interests for which he has been striving
so heroically during a whole lifetime, GARIBALDI
Could, and did, scatter to the winds all idea of any-
thing at all in the way of mere personal considera-
tion. Bitterly though he has felt, though he still
feels, the yielding up of his native land (Savoy) to
France —he has yet dashed aside his poignant re-
,cialniadt,iofnorwthitehsake
of Italy, has consented to
the
collections of that dread
caalarmecitoyn

reading the haughty words of r-

TIM LATE MR. HERBERT COLERIDGE.--We an-
nounce with much regret the premature death of one whose
early promise gave high hopes of future eminence. From
his father, Henry Nelson Coleridge, and his mother, Sarah
Coleridge, the daughter of the poet and philosopher, Her-
bert Coleridge seemed to have inherited all the genius of
that gifted family. His career at Oxford was crowned
with the highest attainable honours. He took a double
first in the Easter term of 18;2. On leaving the Univer-

city he was called• to the bar, but literature continued to
occupy his leisure. He became secretary to the Philologi-
cal Society, and was associated with the Dean of Westmin-
ster in a project for rescuing from oblivion and restoring to
the English language words used by the best writers of
the 17th century, but not acknowledged by Johnson and
his successors. For the last five years, we believe, his life
and energies have been gradually undermined by the fatal
disease which so often accompanies genius and sensibility,
and which has now brought him to an early grave.—
Guar•dian.

It appears that, although the East Indian Rail-
way Company have taken power to issue new shares for
£6,000,000, the sum positively required is only £3,000,000,
two-thirds of which will be raised this year and one-third
next. The rema'ning £3,000,000 is contemplated for the
Jubbulpore and Allahabad line, the construction of which
is indefinitely deferred.

ROBBERY BY A LETTER-CARRIER.—Yesterday
at the Guildhall Police-court John Rensch, a letter-carrier
in the employ of the General Post-office, was charged with
stealing two post letters, containing the corresponding
halves of 16 Bank of England notes of the value of £l6O,
and cheque for £l7 103. 7d., the property of the Postmaster-
General, and Mary Ann Rensch, the wife of the prisoner,
was charged with feloniously receiving several of the stolen
notes. Both prisoners were fully committed.
MARRYING A WARD IN CHANCERY.—Yesterday
an application was made to 'Vice-Chancellor Kindersley,
for the interference of the Court in the case of Miss Emily
Keats; her guardians alleging that she had married Mr.
Augustus Garland, of the Guards, without their consent.
The Court took time to consider its decision.

THE WAKEFIELD ELECTION.—The judges in
the Common Pleas, informed Mr. Bovill yesterday, that
they would take time to consider his application for a writ
of habeas in the case of Jose Fernandez.
THE REPORTED WRECK OF H.M.S. WASP.—It
is believed that no intelligence had been received at the
Admiralty down to last evening of the report stating that
her Majesty's screw sloop Wasp, 13 guns, Commander
Charles Stirling, had struck on a coral reef in Hango Bay
on the 28th January. The crew, according to the state-
ment, had been landed upon a small island about a mile
distant from the wreck, living in tents, hoping at the next
ensuing spring tides to get the ship afloat.

THE LATE MURDER AT STEPNEY.—The question
of ownership of the property of the late Mrs. Linsley, who
was so foully murdered by Mullins, and for which he
expiLted his crime on the scaffold some months since, is
likely to be prominently brought before the public. The
deceased lady, as is well known, was possessed of large
household property in the neighbourhood of Bethnal-green
and Stepney ; and at the time of her death, she having died
intestate, and without leaving any heir at law or next of kin,
the Attorney-General, on the part of the Crown, claimed to
be entitled to the property. A claimant, however, has started
up, in the person of a gentleman named Williams, who
claims to be her heir at law and next of kin through a sister
of the unfortunate lady, and to establish such claim he has
already, through his solicitors, commenced upwards of 200
actions of ejectment, to recover possession of the disputel
property, and instituted suits in Chancery as against Mr.
Rose, her late solicitor, and the Attorney-General, to esta-
blish his rights ; and in the suit against Mr. Rose, who
claims to be a mortgagee of the greater portion of the premises
for moneys advanced, he, yesterday, through Mr. Selwyn,
Q.C., and Mr. Bevir, his counsel, applied to the Master of
the Rolls, Sir J. Romilly, for an injunction to restrain Mr.
Rose from selling or disposing of the property so mort •
gaged, on the ground that the advances had been repaid.
Mr, Roundell Palmer, Q.C., and Mr. Berkeley opposed the
application, upon which the Master of the Rolls refused the
injunction, and ordered the matter to stand over until the
cause came on for hearing. Much interest and excitement
are created araon the irillabitallte by the contlictin claims
setup,

A VOLUNTEER SUMMONED FOR NOT PAYING
Ins SUBSCRIPTION.—At the Manchester Police-court yes-
terday, Thomas Hollingsworth, a member of the sth Com.
pany of the Third Regiment of Manchester Volunteers, was
summoned for the non-payment of his subscription of one
guinea. The defendant admitted the debt, and offered
to pay the money in Court, but he declined to pay the
costs. The Clerk said in thL t case the evidence must be
proceeded with. The defendant then raised an objec-
tion t 3 the legality of the summons, stating that it purported
to be taken out by Adjutant Heaton, whereas the Adju-
tant knew nothing about it.—Sergeant Hunt, who had
obtained the summons, explained that the Adjutant's
name had been inserted at the instance of the magis•
trates' clerk, who said it was necessary forappear,
officers of the defendant's CompallY.Adi
but the proceedings had in reality been ordered by the
Adjutant Heaton
was called into the witness box, and in answer to the
Magistrate, said that each Company had its own dis-
tinct financial arrangements, with which the Adjutant of
the regiment of course hod nothing to do.—Mr. Ellison said
that as this summons was stated to have been taken out
by the Adjutant, when in reality it was not so, the case
must be dismissed. The officers of the company might
take out another summons, if they chose in their own
names. The defendant, however, paid the
guinea in Court
and the cost of the infernal summons was returned by the
magistrates' clerk.
INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION OF 1862.—Yester-

had appointed the commissioners who were to superintend
the different branches of industry in that country. The
forthcoming Exhibition is now being taken up with great
interest throaehout the United Kingdom, the number of
applications for space received at the office of the commis-
sioners in the Strand averaging from 500 to 600 a day.
Detailed and distressing intelligence had been

to fear, not from the fever of the Zambesi, but from the
insidious poison of the Makoloto chief. Their treatment
otherwise was also altogether barbarous. Some anxiety
was felt about Dr. Livingstone, and the return of the Lyra
to the Cape was looked forward to with pAell ii4t4gOtt

QUEENSTOWN, FRIDAY.

The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia
Company's steamer Edinburgh, Capt. Brooks, from
Now York on the 20th April, has arrived here.
The Governor of Maryland had informed Presi-
dent Lincoln that he would send troops for the
protection of Washington, but not for the invasion
of the South.

The Philadelphians, who were unequipped and unarmed,
remained in the last car at the station. They were assaulted
with stones and other missiles, and some were slightly
wounded. The train was taken back, but quite a number
escaped to the city, and, having no uniform, were unrecog-
nised. The reported difficulty on the road between here
and Washington is incorrect. It is understood that all the
troops reached Washington safely, except the Philadel-
phians, who were taken back. At the meeting the mayor
announced that the presidents of the railroads had promised
they would bring no more troops this way. As far as ascer-
tained only two Massachusetts soldiers were killed. They
belonged to Company C. Their bodies are now at the police
station. At the same station are the following wounded :
Sergeant Ames, of the Lowell City Guards, wounded on the
head slightly ; private Coilum, of the same place, shot in the
head, not seriously ; private Michael Green, of Lawrence,
wounded on the head with stones ; H. W. Danforth, com-
pany C, 6th Regiment, slightly wounded. As far as known
seven citizens were killed, including Mr. Davis (before men-
tioned), and James Clark. A half dozen or so are seriously
wounded, but believed not fatally. Comparative quiet now
prevails. The military are under arms. The police are out
in full force. The mass meeting was very large. It was
addressed by the mayor. The governor was present.
BALTIMORE, April 19.—A town meeting was called at 4
o'clock p.m. It is said that twelve lives were lost, and
several mortally wounded. Parties were roaming the streets
armed with guns and pistols. Stores closed and business
suspended. Everybody in a state of dread. A party of the
mob rushed into the telegraph office and cut the wires with
a hatchet, but they have since been repaired.

We have received Boston and Portland papers
to the 20th ultimo. As may be supposed from the
summary of the news published yesterday, they are
filled with despatches of a warlike and alarming
character from various parts of the States. Re-
specting the seizure of the arsenal at Harper's
Ferry, details are supplied in the following tele-
grams
CARLISLE, PA,, April 19.—Lieutenant Jones, late in com-
mand of Harper's Ferry, arrived with his command, forty-
three men, at three o'clock this afternoon. The lieutenant
having been advised that a force of 2,500 troops were ordered
by the governor to take possession of Harper's Ferry, and
finding his position untenable, under the direction of the
War department, he destroyed all the munitions of war, the
armoury, arsenal, and buildings. He withdrew his command
under cover of night, and almost in the presence of 2,500
troops. He lost three men. Fifteen thousand stands of
arms were destroyed. His command made a forced march
of 30 miles last night, from Harper's Ferry to Haggerstown,
Md. They look much worn and fatigued. They were en -
thusiastically received by the entire population of this place.
HARRISBURG, PA., April 19.—Lieutenant Jones, who is
here, says, as the Federal troops at Harper's Ferry rushed
across the Potomac bridge, people rushed into the arsenal,
and he believes a large number perished, as repeated explo-
sions occurred. He saw the light of the burning building
many miles. Two Ohio regiments arrived to-night. They
will stay until the Pennsylvanians are ready to march. An
abundance of arms for the latter will reach here tomorrow.
Major Simonton, commander of the Pittsburg Arsenal,
whose fidelity is suspected, is watched by the committee of
safety. Governor Hicks, of Maryland, declines by tele-
graph to let any more armed troops pass through Balti-
more. Lieutenant Jones states that, hearing yesterday
that 600 1' irginians were approaching by the Winchester
road, they put piles of powder straw in all the buildings,
and quietly awaited their approach. The picket guard
gave the alarm and the garrison set fire to the outhouses,
carpenters' shops, and powder-houses, and began a retreat.
Cita:ens of Harper's Ferry, evidently in league with the
'vancing
to seize the arsenal, were instantly in arms,
andarty au
pursue,l- and firing upon them killed two of the regu-
lars. Two others deserted before the troops reached Ha-
gerstown. They marched all night, having missed the
railroad train. At Hagerstown they took omnibuses to
Charnbersbury, where they arrived much exhausted with
their night march. They were received with loud cheers
along their route to Carlisle. The reported assault upon
the Massachusetts regiment in Baltimore occasioned intense
excitement among the troops. Camp Curtin swear terrible
vengeance. There are 3,000 men here.
The Boston Journal gives the following account
of the attack on the Massachusetts regiment at
Baltimore on the 18th ult. :
At the President-street depot of the Philadelphia Rail-
road a large crowd assembled in anticipation of the arrival
of a large number of troops from New York and Massa-
chusetts. Shortlyafter eleven the train from Philadelphia,
comprising 29 cars, arrived at the depot. Without disem-
barking the soldiers from the train, the general cars had
horses attached, and about nine were drawn along Pratt-
street to the Camden station, the first six without creating
any marked objection. For some reason the horses attached
to the seventh car became restive, and were taken from the
car at the Pratt-street bridge, and the car moved without
their aid to within a short distance of Gay-street, between
Gay and Frederick streets. A number of labourers were
engaged in repairing the bei of the street, and just at the
moment the car reached Gay-street, they were engaged in
removing the cobble stones from the principal portion of
the street. Some thirty or forty men assembled at this
point, having followed the car from the depot, and with
cheers for Davis and the confederacy, hurled bitter taunts
at the Northern black republicans, as they termed them.
This continued for several minutes, when as the horses were
again attached and the car moved off it was proposed to
stone it. Before the cars had gone twenty yards, almost
every window therein was broken, and a portion of the
crowd followed, hurling paving stones. The eighth car was
treated in the same manner, but the ninth car, apparently
being empty, or at least no person being visible, escaped
only with one stone. The crowd exulted in their work, ex-
claiming that black republicans should not pass through
Maryland. A lapse of five minutes succeeded, a number
of respectable persons meanwhile urging the crowd to tear
up the track. After the first train passed, one was observed
on the Pratt-street-bridge, when anchors were dragged on
the track at the corner of Gay-street, and part of the track
taken up. Observing this, the cars were turned back to
l'resident-street depot, and the troops disembarked and
prepared to march through the streets.
hMead, ayor Brled the
own,
with a number of police, appeared at their and
way. They came away at a brisk pace, and when they
reached Center Market space, an immense concourse of
people closed in behind them, and commenced stoning them.
When they reached Gay-street, where the track had been
takennp, a large crowd of men armed with paving stones
showered them on their heads with such force that several
of them were knocked down in the ranks.
After lying a few minutes they crowded int. the etoroa
en Pratt-street. At the corner of South and Pratt streets
a man fired a pistol into the ranks of the militia, when those
in the rear ranks immediately wheeled and fired upon their
assailants, and several were wounded. The guns of the
soldiers that had fallen wounded were seized and fired upon
the ranks with fatal effect. In two or three instances after
they reached Culvert-street the troops succeeded in check-
ing their pursuers by rapid fire, which brought down two
or three, and were not much molested until they reached
Howard-street, where another large crowd was assembled,
Some stones were thrown at them, but their guns were not
loaded, and they passed on through a dense crowd down
Howard-street towards the depot.
The scene on Pratt-street was of a most startling cha-
racter, the wounded soldiers, three in number, were taken
up carefully., and carried to places of safety by citizens.
Along the street at the Camden station, where trains leave
for Washington, there were assembled a large detachment
of police under direction of Marshal Kane.
It soon appeared that orders were given to clear the tracks
near the main depot building. This was done, and soon
after a large passenger car of the Ph:ladelphia Railroad
came up at a rapid rate filled with soldiers. The car was
soon followed by about 16 more, all occupied by troops.
Upon inquiry it was ascertained they consist d
e of the 6th
Regiment of Massachusetts Infantry, in all 11 companies,
with an aggregate of 830 men.
As soon as the train arrived some of the troops were corn-
s' pelled to change cars, when they were hooted at by the
crowd, which made no overt act. Several young menhere tap-
' 5 peered at one of the cars, and display:l revolvers, w-
-3 upon the captain of one of the companies drew his sword,
3, and declared he would protect his men. Many expected
the train would start immediately, but it did not move until
3
4 half-past twelve, a delay be'ng occasioned by the fact that
President Garrett had received information that a large
2 crowd of excited men had de:-.ermined to tear up the track
2 and blow up the bridges, and thereby prevent the passage
of the train.
" In a few minuted after the train left a discharge of fire-
-2
5 arms attracted the attention of the crowd to the corner of
Pratt and Howard streets, where a body of infantry from
2 one of the Noithern States, about 150 strong, was seen ra-
-1 pidly approaching the depot, and no doubt anxious to reach
the cars.
The excitement was beyond description, and a man ells..
1
playing a flag of the Confederate States seemed to be the
rallying point for the people. Some assaulted the infantry
with stones, when a number of the latter discharged their
muskets. At least twenty shots were fired, but as far as
learned no person was injured. There seemed to rusted
little discipline among the troops, especially as they
along pell-mell.
Whilst they were entering the"cars a crowd of young
men gave them several volleys of bricks and stones, some
of which demolished a car window, whereupon three or
four muskets n ere pointed through the car windows and
fired, but no one was injured. Whilst this body was pass-
ing near the corner of Pratt and Charles streets they got in
collision with the crowd, and firing took place. One of the
soldiers, named Robins, of the company from Stonington,
Conn. (Stoneham), is supposed to be mortally wounded.
He was wounded in
new back part of the head, and fell to
the ground. The tra th the second detachment left at
a quarter-past 1.
There are rumours of an intended attack on Fort
M'ldenry.
Further details may be gathered from later
despatches from Baltimore.
BALTIMORE, April 19.—A crowd broke into the ware-
house of Paterson and Walfert, on Long Dock, this even-
ing, and took therefrom 400 rifles and swords. Squads are
parading the streets, eully armed, on the look-out for mili-
tary from the North, expected to-night. Have just heard
that the Pennsylvania volunteers and the 7th New York
regiment are coming. Fear there will be bloody work.
BALTIMORE, April 19.—R. W. Davis of this city was
shot dead near the Camden station. It is reported that the
Philadelphians are now at the outer depot. The president
of the road ordered the train back, at the urgent request of
the mayor and governor. They are already off. John
M'Cann, P. Griffin, and G. Needham, three citizens, are
mortally wounded. Four of the Massachusetts troops were
killed and several wounded. It is impossible to learn their
names.
BALTIMORE, April 19.--The town meeting in Monu-
ment-square this afternoon was attended by an immense
crowd. The state flag was hoisted. Mayor Brown said he
was opposed to the call of the President in spirit and object,
but as Maryland was still in the Union he had exerted him-
self to his utmost ability to protect the passage of troops
through the city. He, however, felt that this should not
be, and had telegraphed to the President urging that no
more troops be sent through. Governor Hicks was sent for,
and said he was opposed to secession, but the right of revo-
lution could not be disputed. It was folly to attempt to
subjugate the South, and he hoped the North and the ad-
ministration would see the impracticability of doing so. He
was still devote't to the Union, and he hoped to see a re-
construction of it. (Shoats, " No, never.") The governor
replied that he should bow to the decision of the people.
Speeches were made by Messre. Teakle Wallis, W.
Preston, and others, justifying the people Of Baltimore, and
declaring that no northern troops should invade their soil
to subjugate and make war on their brethren of the South.
The speakers counselled peace, and urged that the laws be
respected and obeyed. All is quiet to-night. The military
and police combined guard the city. The streets are com-
paratively deserted. Here and there are small knots of
people discussing the events of the day.
Correct list of the killed and wounded so far as known
:

Guard, slightly; Private Coilum, of the same
place, shot in
the head, not fatal ; Private Michael Green, of Lawrence,

The following are the latest despatches from
Washington :
WASHINGTON, April 19.—The Massachusetts arrived
this evening, and are quartered at the capital. Several of
them wounded in Baltimore were sent to the infirmary,
while others who were injured in that city were on duty
with their comrades. The President had issued a procla-
mation stating that an insurrection against the Government
of the United States has broken out in the States of South
Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Mississippi, Louisiana, and
Texas ; and the laws of the United States cannot be exe-
cuted effectually therein, conformably to that provision of
the constitution which requires duties to be uniform
throughout the United States ; and further, a combination
of persons engaged in such insurrections have threatened to
grant pretended letters of marque to authorise the bearers
thereof to commit assaults.
The mayor has issued a proclamation exhorting all good
citizens to so conduct themselves as neither by word nor deed
to give occasion for any breach of the peace. The President
has seized four Potomac steamers, on suspicion of being in
the service of C. S. A. Charles Clarke has been appointed
marshal of Maine. Lieutenant Jones reports that as the
federal troops left the arsenal at Harper's Ferry, the seces-
sionists rushed in, and believes that many were killed ; re-
peated explosions were heard. Two regulars were killed,
and two deserted. Major Simonton, in command of the
Pittsburg Arsenal, is suspected, and is watched by a com-
mittee of safety.
Governor Hicks declines to allow any more armed men
to pass through Baltimore.
Three thousand troops have reached Washington.
The Baltimore riot commenced by some labourers en-
gaged in repairing Pruth-street. They hurled the loose
paving-stones at the cars.

A despatch from New York on the 19th contain
the following:--
An attempt has been made to purchase the new steamer
Mercedita for the Confederate States, but the reply was
that there was not money enough in the seceded states to
buy her. The Rhode Island Marine Artillery arrived to
day, with six pieces of artillery, and started for Washington.
A thousand Rhode Islanders under Governor Sprague will
be here to-morrow. Governor Morgan has issued a requi-
sition for the 6th, 12th, and 71st Regiments of this city,
who will start for Washington to-morrow. The gunboat
Pocahontas has been ordered to sea immediately. It is
reported she will sail to-night with troops for Fort Monroe.
The 7th Regiment left this city for Washington by railroad
this afternoon. The entire first division, 7,000 men, has
offered its services to the Governor, and are ready to
march at an hour's notice. There is intense excitement
among our military, caused by the news from Balti-
more. The Chamber of Commerce resolved to-day that
the Government should issue a proclamation that all
persons privateering under the Jefferson Davis com-
mission be dealt with as pirates, and to imme-
diately blockade every southern port. Over 22,000 dols.
were subscribed in aid of the volunteers. They appointed
commissioners to take up Government stock. The members
of the Corn Exchange resolved to close their places of
business to-morrow, and attend the Union meeting. Dele-
gates from sixteen life insurance companies met to-day, and
recommended to the several boards of directors to assume
the risk of the assured entering upon naval or military ser-
vice. The Evening Post learns from a reliani source that
Jeff. Davis, at the head of the Confederate army, is within
twenty-four hours' march of Washington. Major Anderson
was overwhelmed with congratulations to-day. The excite-
ment at the recruiting stations is unprecedented. The Ist
New York Regiment has completed 1,000 men, and the
muster roll sent to Albany. Orders are expected to-morrow
to muster them into the United States service. A despatch
from Wilmington, Del., to the Tribune says that a merchant
captain, from Pensacola, gives information that Fort
Pickens now contains 800 men, and seven vessels lying out-
side. A large number of Southern troops arrived on Satur-
day. There are still many Union men in Florida. A
bloody negro insurrection is apprehended in the cotton
states. A gentleman who passed through Tennessee on
Wednesday says the America flag was flying everywhere.
In Virginia loud threats to lynch Union men are heard
everywhere. Private desp:l'.-ches from Baltimore state that
the position of the loyal citizens was very critical.
A despatch says : " We hope the North will stand by us,
and in their forced passage through our city to the Capitol
remember that there are many true men here. Our police
and many of our military companies openly defy the Go-
vernment."

The excited state of the country may be gathered
by the despatches from various quarters :
