We learn that on Saturday night last, dis
turbance which resulted IN a serious fiot, pIohC
out among the students OF the University. Inc
dwelling Of the President was attacked, the
windows ofthe Professors broken IN ara sew
that nersonal injury was sustained by any ofthe
narties nor does our informant know the par
ticular cause of disturbance, or IN what manner
if was oueIled We wait with anxiety Tor the
nar,iculars ofthis disgraceful affair." which will
doubtless be furnished by our next adVlces
from Tuscaloosa.-lo6tte (Ato.) neg
The speech of Mr. Waggaman and docu-
ments read by Mr.. Porter to the Senate, on pre-
senting the New Orleans memorial, prove the
existence of extensive and calamtous distress
in that city, which as he observed, mad hao the
effect of uniting all parties in the application 10
Congress for relief-a circumstance, MI FoItef
said. which had been fOretod to him two
months ago, he should have thong hit as incredl-
BILE as that two religious sects should surrender
their differences and agree on common creed.
Mr.. Waggaman affirmed that the loss expert
enced this year, in cotton, pork, Hour sugar,
Bank Stock, &C. in the greatvalley OF the Mlssls-
sippi. was not short demonstrably, OF thirteen
millions of dotIars.-Richmond Wig
Bank of Maruland.-We believe nothing fur
ther than what we published yesterday, has
transpired relative to the stoppage OF the Bank
of MARYLAND We have been assured that the
loss will not be any thing like what has been
apprehended, and that an exposition OF It's al
fairs will be made, which will exhibit the true
value ofthe notes. 1t is therefore obviously the
policy and interest oft the holders of notes, as
well as depositors, and others interested, TO
await patiently these developments
We learn that the call upon the Banks to day
for redemption Of their notes, has been neon
siderable The calls were almost entirely from
those who are most ready to have their fears
excited in times like these. In one Bank we
are told where call was made, the holders
said they preferred to take q. S. Bank notes to
specie. though it was known hatthey have been
conspicuous in their cries ofdown with the Bank
and their huzzas for Jackson They have al
ready had enough of "the Jackson expert
ment "-BaH Pot.
The Post office Departmental is said that the
Kitchen Cabinet are becoming excessively
alarmed about the investi- alton into the affairs
of this department. The rottenness which has
already been exposed to the public eye, by Mr.
Barry's own confession, is said to be soundness
ITSELF when compared to the putrescence which
the searching operations of the committee Will
bring to light The fear of this investigation is
believed to be the true cause Of the anxiety of
the Kitchen Cabinet to get rid Of Congress-

Girard Bauk-The signatures of the owners
of fourteen thousand four hundred and eighty
four shares of the Stock Of the Girard Bank,
have already been obtained in favor of surren-
dering up the Deposites of the United States
Funds.-Phil. Com. Her.
Doctor NoH-This distinguished citizen, it
will be recollected, invented new mode of APP
in tha The
great aim of this great man, was to furnish Sc
curity against accidents and to give additional
speed, at areduced cost of fuel. Many thought
and yet think that his plan Of " a hundred gun
barrel boiers,'' as they were called, did not sue
coed. This is mistake. The principle was
perfect-but the mechanical preparation was
not. 1t has succeeded perfectly in Europe, and
one ferry-boat now plies at New York, we be-
eve, with seventy horse power, at the cost OF
only three tons of coal day. The speed fully
equals the most sanguine calculations of the in
ventOr.
Doctor Mott occupied the highest ground in
Literature-and in Theology, and was among
the most eloquent divines of the age. He has
attained equal eminence in Mechanics. Penn
sylvania owes him a monument. Her noun
tans furnish the anthracite, but it was left for
Doctor Motifs genius and taste, to contrive the
depository for it, when it is transferred TO our
dining and drawing rooms and chambers
The stoves invented by Doctor Mott, in which
to burn this fuel, are admitted to be perfect
They are also ornamental. A niche in Mount
ST. Bernard is warmed by this great invention.
1t is our candid opinion that the use of anthra-
cite coal is increased ten fold by this beautiful
and agreeable Contrivance.
We expect to say something more particular
shortly, on the boilers &c. of steamboats, We
should not be at all surprised to see the princ-
pie brought into universal use.-PhH. Com. Her.
The People moring.-Meetings such as this
country has not in long years before witnessed
are taking place all over That at Philadelphia
where all occupations, trades and professions
were numerously represented, speaks language
not to be misunderstood in that city. Buffalo,
Rochester, the whole Of Ontario Co., Troy, and
Albany-have spoken, or are about to speak, in
accents that even at Washington will b" heard
and feared, if not respected In this city, where
" the perish Credit perish Commerce" maXims
of the Administration operate with such disas-
trous power, movements we are G lad to learn
are in progress among the artisans, mechanics,
and manufacturers well as among the cart
men, stevedores, ringers, and the laborers con-
nected with prosperous commemorative bone
