GREAT RIOT IN BOSTON.

We have 10 record the occurrence OF
one of the most serious riots that has been
known in our city for great length OF
time. There are contradictory accounts
as to the origin of the difficulty, but we he

on as in the main correct:
About three O'Clock yesterday afternoon,
after eog zine company No. 90 had returned
from Rox bury. and housed their engine.
in East street, portion OF them proceeded
TO the shop of one Of their members for re

through them, and he was pushsd of the

him, and fight was commenced. in which

One of the officers succeeded In separating

FALLING STARs.--M. Won Hammer
has addressed to the French Academy
Of Sciences some extacts from various
ancient authors who speak of the fall
ing stars. The first refers to the month
of October in the year 500 OF our era
il is taken from the history ofthe Arabs,
by Condo. "On the night Of the death
Of King Ibrahim ben Ahmed, an inf
mite number of falling stars were seen
to spread themselves like rain over the
heavens, from right to left. This
was called the year Of stars. In the
history of Cairo, by Soyorite, we find
the following: /" In the year 426, (l020
Of our era, in the month Redjeb, eau
gust, many stars fell with great noise
and brilliant light" The same histo-
rian says elsewhere: ain the year 500,
on Saturday night, in the last Mohar-
rem, (I2O2 of our era, and on the 10th
OF Octobcr,) the stars appeared like
waves upon the sky, towards the cast
and west. They flew about like grass
hoppers, and were dispersed from right
to left this lasted till daylight; the
people were alarmed" This phe-
nomena only takes place at stated pc.
rods. The chronological tables OF
Hadje Gala do not say any thing about
them in 902 or 1905, but they remark
a flowing of stars on the night which
preceded the last day of the month Mo-
harren.

NAVAL SERVICE We learn that much
dissatisfaction is felt and expressed at the
course pursued 10 regard to the naval ser
vice of the United States. which, if not
checked in time, may produce as many
evils as the army has recently experlen-
ced.
The complaint is that every thing is done
for senior officers and nothing for the ju
niors, and that the young men in The navy
are compelled TO walk the streets. while
the old ones monopolise aud absorb all the
service. There is bad management in this.
il ii be true TO the extent complained OF. -
We have but small navy, and few navy
yards and naval statiuus, with snpefnh
merary quantity of officers. who have a
right in turn TO be employed. Something
like system, without favoritism. may bring
this about. Let Us commence with the
Board Of Commissioners. always useless
branch Of the service-a spare topgallant-
mast, as we have ever contended. Com
Dodore Rogers has resigned as the Presi-
dent of The Board Who should have la
ken his place Certainly the next 10 Sc
niorIty and who is he Commodore
Barron. man eminenly qualified for the
station but he commands III the navy yard
at Philadelphia. and has TO receive orders
from the Board OF Commissioners, which
Board is composed oil his l4ieulenants, who
in effect command their old commander.
This is all wrong. Barron. Chauncv, Hull.
Stewart, Jones, &c, should be IN the Ma
w Board. The next in seniority should
command the navy yards and stations :;
the next should command squadrons on
different stations, and the next vessels on
specific employments ; but IN all cases no
station, no employment should be deemed
permanent or exclusive. Two or three
wears in the Navy Board. in The Navy
Yards, and in the command of s9sadrons
aIternaly, should be the limit of service to
each officer a leave of absence. an inter
regnum of service for three or hive years,
should be granted 10 each No officer
should command squadron twice in less
than ten years. BY this course we should
be able TO mete our equal justice 10 all !;
we should give employment TO each OF the
Young officers, and so dispose the service
as to bring forward the active and mefi,o-
riOns of each class, instead of allowing
them 10 remain idle, TO the Injury of their
habits, their experience, and their amhi
ton.
Something like this equal and exact
Justice" must be adopted, # the navy is to
be sustained by the same liberal apploprl
atoms as formerly.
Ia larger ships. on foreign stations. there
should he accommodations for double the
number of Lieuienanis and Alidshipmen
they now carry, with sub division Of du'
ties, so as to give TO each share OF EN-
ploy ment and a turn at sea.

Prince could never induced him 10 enter

BAGG AeE.-Tbe Law.-As this is
the season pf the year, when there is a
good deal of travelling to aud fro in
our country, it may not be amiss to adj
vert to the law rslatire to baggage. In
every advertisement of steam boat and
stage lines one will find postscript,
or a nots bene, that all baggage is at
the risk OF the owner-and this many
suppose. Is sufficient to clear the line
or its proprietors, from all its response
biilty in regard to baggage. This,
however, is not the case-Thc pro-
prietors oferery line of transportation,
whether ofgoods or passengers, or both,
are liable for what they take; they arc
paid for this responsibility and it is in
vain for them think of escaping it. The
courts, both in this country and in
Engl nd, have decided this question
over and over again, and always in
support Of the law as we have declared
it to be. The transportation lines,
however, are not liable for money, Jew
els, and other extra valuable articles
which lost trunk may contain, unless
1T may be shown that they knew the
contents Of the trunk, and took it with
this knowledge or received an extra
sum for its transportation.
