THE RIOTS UPON THE CANAL.

A Treaty of Peace has been concluded Pc
tween Deputies from the hostile parties among
the Canallers; which was brought about by
the active Intervention of the leading gentle
men of the neighborhood. This Treaty was
concluded at Williamsport on the 9th January,
and duly signed by the respective Ambassadors.
The following is copy of the Treaty of Peace,
made and concluded at Williamsport, on the
9th day Of January, 1884, between the Cork
onians and Longford men, the two contend
ing parties on the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal:
Whereas great connections and divers riot
Gus acts have resulted from certain misunder-
standings and alleged, grievances, mutually urg-
ed by two parties of laborers and mechanics,
engaged on the line of the Chesapeake and
Ohio Canal, and natives Of Ireland; the one
commonly known as the LOngford men, the
other as the Corkonians: and whereas it has
been found that these riotous acts are calculat-
ed to disturb the public peace, without being in
the least degree beneficial to the parties OPP
posed to each other; but on the contrary are
productive of great injury and distress to the
workmen and their families
Therefore we, the undersigned, representa-
tives Of each party have agreed to, and do
pledge ourselves to support and carry into eff
feet the following terms of the agreement:
We agree, for ourselves, that will not, Ell
Their individually or collectively, interrupt or
suffer to be interrupted in our presence, any
person engaged on the line of the Canal, for or
on account of a local difference, or national pre-
JUDGE, and that we will use our influence to
destroy all these matters of difference growing
out of this distinction OF parties, known as Cork
onians and Longfords; and we further agree
and pledge ourselves, in the most solemn man.
ner, to inform on, and bring to justice, any per-
son or persons who may break the pledge con-
tanned in this agreement, either by interupting
any person passing along or near the line of
Canal, or by secretly conselling or assisting any
person or persons who may endeavor to excite
riotous conduct among the above parties; and
we further bind ourselves to the state Of Mary
land, each in the sum oftwenty dollars, to keep
the peace towards the citizens Of the state. In
witness thereof, we have hereunto signed our
Names at Williamsport this twenty -seventh day
ofJanuary eighteen hundred and thirty four.

The New York papers furnish an account OF
destructive fire at Rochester, in that State
said to be the most calamitous that has ever oc-
CURED in that village. Among the buildings de-
stroyed were the Globe Mills, the loss of which
alone is estimated by letter-writer at nearly
hundred thousand dollars. The loss of Newell
& Stebbins is estimated by correspondent Of
the Albany Argus at $4,000 to $4,000. They
turned out from $50 to 1000 yards of Carpetng
per week. The Rochester paper, however, men
tons the aohole loss from the fire as Deer $4,000
dollars. The individual losses above stated are
therefore probably over-rated

Mr.. Grundy. in his speech in the Senate on
the Removal of the Deposites, attempted to de
fend the President and Secretary fancy. There
is some candor in the following admission:
"He (Mr. Grundy) considered the removal OF
the deposites as emphatically the act of the Pre-
sident; he had caused it to be done, and whate-
to him alone. He would not deprive him of one
act which was his; and it was we'll suited to the
occasion when he said, take the responsible
lity.'"
