RIOTOUs PROCEEDINGS IN NEW-YORK.

We lately noticed some violent pro-
ceedings at Religious Meeting in the
city Of New-York. The following nc
count has been given Of the outrage, by
respectable persons who were engaged
in the meeting -
LATE RIor IN BRoADwAy HALL.-So
many different, and, in some respects,
conflicting and exaggerated accounts of
this disgruceiu affair have been given,
that we have deemed il expedient to lay
before the public simple statement OF
facts, that they may be enabled to form
correct judgment respecting it. The
sole object OF the New-Yoik Protestant
Association, is to spread the knowledge
Of Gospel Truth, and to show wherein it
is inconsistent with the tenets and dog
mas Of Popery. Subjects designed to
illustrate the genius aud tendency Of the
rnpal syteln, are OF course, frequently
discussed before the society, but merely
as theological questions, and no refcc-
tions Of personal character are ever
permitted. Of late these discussions
have excited very general interest,
and attracted very large audiences, and,
for the most part, Of highly respectable
and peaccabIc citizens. TO prevent the
place Of meeting from being incommo-
diously crowded, it has been found ncccs-
sary TO secure the attendance Of peace
officer, and to close the door after the
room has been completely filled.
On Friday evening last, after the
meeting had been organized, (thc room
being crowded to excess) n great num-
ber Of persons, chiefly, if not exclusive
ly, Roman Catholics, broke open the
door and violently forced their way into
the Hall. Although there was no room
Tor them even to stand, they continued
to press forward through the crowded
audience evidently ith view 10 make
an assault upon the persons who were
engaged in the business of the Society.
The discussion being thus violently in
terrupted, some of the ministers and 9TH
Iers, withdrew by private passage, with
view to prevent the preparation of
greater outrages. Such as remained,
attempted to persuade the assembly to
retire, and the orderly part Of il, gene
rally withdrew as soon ns practicable.
While they were retiring, the rioters
commenced fight md broke some Of
the windows and lamps, and n number Of
the seats, before they could be expelled
from the Hall. The extent ofthe dam
age is not precisely known. Neither is
it yet certainly known how many OF tho
rioters can be identified.
The above may be relied on us plain
statement Of facts, which can he a,tcsled
by hundreds. 1t is painful to uitncss,
and to record, such shameful and lawless
proceedings. Yet we are not without
hope that they may be the means of
shedding some light on the iutolerant
character OF a system so evidently at
war with free opinions, free discussions,
and rational liberty. Should this be the
result, we shall have the less cause to
regret any personal Inconvenience that
we may have sustained from this illegal
and unprovoked aggression.
By order Of the Directors Of the Now
York Protestant Association.

The Panic-wig party are yet without proX for
the year ensuing. Rumor says that one IS hatching
of a mongrel character composed of Wiggies, An
timasons and Administration men. We anxiously
wait the moment when this wonder shall be ushercd
into being confident that ii will satisfy the people
of Rhodc-Isand aud of the Union, that the opposi-
ton is upon It's last legs in This state. Such proX
will be proof conclusive of the utter hopcessncss of
the cause of that party whoundcr the names Of Fed
crasts National Republicans Wigs, and many
others have sine, the organization of the gov
crnmcnt been fighting against the good old Demo-
cratic doctrine, that the people have the best right
lnd are the best able 10 manage their own affairs.
1t is understood that ex-senator Knight who would
have been better pleased TO have continued in the
receipt oihis eight doirs a day, but whom the peo-
pie for his deserion of heir cause and his reachcry
to republican, principles. have discarded from their
service is TIE the BeR,Ipc,Aor of the federal prox.
II any further evidence wanting establish The
fact of the utter desperation of The arstocrats, this
single circumstance Of putting ut the head of their
proX a renegade from the republican ranks would be
proof conclusive. But lc them come on in any
shape they please, they vii find to their sorrow that
all their ingenuity in combination will prove fruit
less and they will oct nothing but their labor for
their pains. The Republicans of Rhodc-Island are
ready for the battle, and fog them soundly, aud
what's more they will Go it.

The bcHigerent attitude Of Michigan and Ohio
The lamentable dispute respecting the boundary be-
tween the State of Ohio aud the Territory of Mich
igan WAKES warm, serious and alarming. II is the
more important, IN consequence of the probability
that Michigan will soon come into the Union as an
independent State. The controversy has become
one of great interest, and all are anxious to know
the exact cause. BY documents and records eXtant
has been shown that the country north of Ohio was
organized into Territorial Government by an or
dinance of the Congress ofl1S7 and, that arrange
meuts were then made for its future division into
States, the boundaries of which are established. In
1902 act was passed auIhorising the people of
OHIO to form State Constitution and the nor
thorn boundary ofthat State therein declared to
IL. Z" a line running due east from the southern eX
trcme of Lake DichiSdR to Lake Eric, and the
northern territorial line" The Constitution was
formed under the said act-hu in one ofits articles
was proposed that fthc cast and wcSt line shonld
moi strike Lake Erie or should strike il south ofthc
North Cape of the Maumec BAY thea "wh the as
sent of Congress, the line should be changed rs
to run from Lake Michigan to the said North Cape"
But this proposition has never been acted on bv
Congress. To show more clearly that the original
boundary was adhered to. Congress, sin 1905 (thrce
years thcreafter established the Territory of Mchi-
gan and made It's southern boundary "a line run
ning due east from the southern extreme If Lake
Michigan to Lake Erie" [prccisely the porthern
boundary of Oho.l This Inc was also recognized
by Congress IN lcl2-but since that period repea-
ted efforts have been made BY the State of Ohio to
procure "tte assent oT Congress" to the proposed
change. Every effort has resulted in failure--or,
rather, unsuccessfuly,-ss Congres has in every
instance refused 70 nc, directly on the proyoson.

The establishment of new ofntercourse
and trade with Peru and the Pacific Ocean, by which
the passage around Cape Horn may be dispensed
with, is engaging the attention of the Peruvian
government. late English paper furnishes the
following PARTICULARS
The RiUer 1m0zOR.--We learn from the H0mp-
shire Telegraph, that Lieut.. VIM. Smythe, and Mr..
Frederick Lowe, mate of the Sam0raRg, were left
at Callao when that vessel sailed for England, they
having volunteered their services, at the request of
the Peruvian Government, to proceed to Lima, for
the purpose of cmbarlling of the branches of
the river Amazon, to explore their way until lis
junction with the main stream down which they,
were to voyage to sea- The object is to ascertain,
by survey, the practicability of bringing goods up
the river Amazon, to within twelve days Journey of
Lima, thus opening new channel for the commerce
of Europe with Peru, without the danger and loss
of time consequent on passage round Cape Horn.
The Peruvian government has promised every
sistance in their power, and an'escor of soldiers
der the command of an intelligent native officer of
Engineers. Commodore Mason was, therefore,
induced to give permission to those officers to re-
main for that purpose ; and from the known skill,
energy and perseverance, of Lieut.. Smythe, who
with Capt Becchy in the Blossom, on her voyage of
discovery along the northwest coast of the South
American continent, there is good reason te expect
these enterprising officers will succeed in their use
fu though arduous attempt.

The Chinese Lady.-On Monday last, this lady
and suite paid their respects to the President, who
expressed himself much pleased with the interview
The expectations of the lady had been raised to n
high pitch, to the maguiiicence of the "Fonti,"
(Emperor) as she terms the President. But his
kind and courteous manner appeared amply TO com
pensate her for the deficiency of outward grandeur
Through the medium of the Interpreter, on parting
he wished her safe return to her country, contin-
uance of good health, aud the power to persuade her
counrywomen to abandon the custom of cramping
their feet, totally in opposition TO Natures wlses
regulations. Upon being asked, since, what she
thought of the President she replied, she believed
him TO be very good man, but not so FINE an EN-
psror as they have in China, and cannot comprehend
why the Emperor did not sit in the highest seat.

which is professedly democratic has gone on in

THE journal Of Commerce, in noticing the month
ly statement of the u. 5. Bank on the Ist inst.
says
"In our estimation, this extension of the business
of the Bank at this time is excessive and dangerous.
The fact that the Bank has increased i . indebted
ness to the local Bank rapidly, shows that it
pushes ahead of them in creating the present pleho
ry in the money market When consider the
declaration made last winter of the policy of curta-
ment which was rendered necessary by the short
period remaining for winding up the concerns of the
Bank, the policy now pursued seems contradictory
and mcxplicabIe. Although we never believed such
curtamenIs necessary were then insisted on We
do think thnt circumstances of the Bank should
prevent it from great extension Of its loans, and at
any rate should connc its scale Of extension rather
below than above that of institutions whose end is
not at hand"

rewarded with mere triumphant success then at the

o. The following correct remarks are from the
Hartford Times:
1t is we believe correctly stated that Congress
spent more time on the bill increasing the compcn-
satlon ofour naval officers than ON any other sub
ject during the session. We look upon that bill as
one of perncious consequences. The wages of all
public officers must he reduced before we can
expect true reform. We arc satisfied that we have
but little to expect until the mercenary spirit which
prevails among our public men is subducd Office
is sought with assiduty and it is sought less
with disposition 10 serve the country than self
not for promoting the of human happiness, but
for sordid considerations. Public, country, fame
are lost sight OF, and men seek Office for the COM
pensation that 1t gives, and expect support them
selves, and grow richer out of the funds of the M
tion We satisfied that there should hc a reduc-
ton, instead of an increase in the compensation
that is allowed our public men. There ought, also,
to be limit the term of all important civil offices.
A cheap and economical government is best con-
Quoted and best administered. Low salaries will
insure the services of the best and most deserving
men, and will be the best check that horde of
Office seekers who arc mpor,unng lucrative situa-
tioDs.
