EcDoTE-Ali who remember the false and
scandalous stories that were circulated in
this city in 1884, about abolitionist's daush-
tiers being in Bridewell, &e. because they
would not marry negroes, &C., well know
how to appreciate the stories told Of blacks
and whites promenading in Chesnut
street" previous to the late riot in Phladel-
pha. We are informed by gentleman
just arrived from that city, that on the day
previous 20 the mob, colored man (very
light was seen walking arm in arm with
two colored women (much darker than him
selO and some young men exclaimed, ca.
malgamation and generation" and it was
with difficulty that these respectable per-
sons escaped without injury. When the
young gentlemen" were informed that the
mulatto was brother to the colored women
who were walking with himi they appear

To THE REPUBiIcASs OF VIRGINIA-AND
AT WASHINGTON The conduct Of the
Bank of the United States ought to arouse
you. You see this tremendous institution
abusing its charter, extending its powers,
tanpering With the other banks, and obstruc-
ting their return to specie payments. 1t il
pressing for rechsrter-and dark as was
the day when Pennsylvania gave her char
ter, vet still darker will be the day whom
the United States shall consent to recharter
her. 1t is that triumph which she is seek
ing to gain over the Republican party; over
the Constitution over Liberty itself. II is
that victory which Messrs. Clay and Web
ster, and the Wings, are laboring to wiring
from the fears and distresses of an embar-
assed community.- Richmond ESquirer.

THE DEMOCRATIC REVIEW.

This valuable work has now fought its
way to its sixth number, through the bitter
opposition of the Wing press. The univer
sal expressions of approval, and interest for
its success, which it has elected from the
Democratic press at large throughout the
Union, afford Tie best evidence that could
be desired, both Of its important value to
the Democratic cause in the great struggle
of opinion in which it is now engaged, and
Of the ability with which it has been con-
duc,ed. We feel il to be unnecessary for
us to add here any other tribute TO its mer-
| its, than our cordial concurrence in that o.
pnion and sentiment, and our earnest ap-
peal to our Democratic friends to extend TO
it that Jealous aud generous support which
so useful and arduous an enterprise not on
ly needs to sustain il against The hostility
which, from its character, it is necessarily
fated to undergo from those from whom the
principal support to literary enterprises is
usually derived, but which it also most en-
phatically deserves from the powerful inau
enco which ii is calculated to exert for the
maintenance and diffusion of true Demo-
cratic principles, especially on the mind of
the young generation which is just entering
on the scene Of public notion, and which it
is so highly important TO preserve pure from
The taint of illberaI, anti-popular sentiment
now so rife in many portions of the coun-
try.-Giobe.
The May number contains an admirable
essay on The True Principle of Commer-
cial Banking" which defies refutation, and
several highly interesting articles from the
pens of Mrs Sigourney, A. II. Everett, G.
Bancroft and Gov Cass. With such con-
tributors the work cannot fail to become
exceedingly popular.

A SHOCKING ACCIDENT occurred at Brook

impossible for him to survive so frighiful

RIOTS IN PHILADELPHIA.

On Wednesday last an assembly, COM
posed principally Of females, collected to
hear lecture on the subject of abolition,
at the " Pennsylvania Hail." a building re-
Gently erected in Philadelphia for scientific
and political discussions and lectures, inclu-
ding the discussion of the slavery question.
A mob gathered around the building, broke
the windows, and followed the assembly, on
their retiring, with cries of insult. On the
day following the Anti Slavery Conven-
ton of women, over FIVE hundred in number,
from different parts Of the Union, occupied
the Hall. The mob again assembled, and
in the evening, when, at the request of the
Mayor, no meeting was held, they broke
into the building and set it on fire, and
watched it until it consumed, preventing
any attempt to save it or any of its con-
tents. The building cost about SAC, 900,
and law recently passed obliges the city
to pay the loss. On Friday an attemp, was
made to destroy school house for colored
children; it was set on fire but was saved
by timely assistance.
The following extracts from Philadelphia
papers give all the particulars of these dis
graceful proceedings.
From the American Sentinel
son Wednesday evening Pennsylvania
Hall was crowded with about three hundred
persons, to hear lecture by Mr.. Garrison
and others. OF the audience about one
half were females. 1t was promiscuously
composed of white and black people. Al
the close Of Mr.. Garrisou's address, a mob
outside was very noisy. Mrs. Maria w.
Chapman, Of Boston, then addressed the
meeting for several minutes. She was fol-
LEVIED by Mrs. Angelica Z. Grimke Weld,
Lucretia Mott of this city, and Abby kel-
ley. in the meantime the mob increased
aud became more unruly and threw various
missiles at the windows; no further injury
was done than the breaking the glass, and
the blinds inside protected the audience.
At n quarter before ten the company retired
amid the cries and groans of the mob who
blocked up the street on every side. One
black man was knocked down with a
club.
The proprietors Of the Hall have called
upon the city to pay the amount OF DANA
ges done.

The French ship Alexandra, Of Bor-
deaux. Mons. Masaund commander, arriy-
ed a, this port on Sunday last, and in conse-
auence of some suspicious entertained by
the French Vice Consul residing in this
town, has since been an object of much at
tention. We learn that the ship sailed from
Bordeaux for the East Indies, and on her
return from Batavia, the present command
er says, the Captain, second mate and SIX
scamen were washed overheard in gale.
and that he being Supercargo, and part
owner, assumed the command, and put in
to the Isle Of France to repair damages,
whence he cleared for the United States.
His papers, we are informed, are all cor
rect and that he has made q regular entry
at our Custom House.
Doct. GoURAUD, the French Vice Consul,
Mt this port, not being satisfied, however,
that all is right, and Mons. Masaund hay
ing refused to answer his interrogatories,
has had him and his crew arrested on sus-
picion, and confined in the Jail, where they
are undergoing an examination. The ship
has been hauled in to the long wharf, and
DIR. Gouraud has taken measures to pre-
vent her leaving the port before he can
communicate with the French Consul Gen
eral in New York.
