A MoNsrxR.-The Baltimore papers contain 40
counts of the capture OF huge turtle in the bay,
lew miles below that city, on Sunday last. The
American says - He was first dis Just astern
Of the schooner Wasp, Capt John Williams, about
five miles above tAe mouth Of Chester river, and was
brought to by a charge Of moulded shot which
struck his head and glanced off. He manifested
some disapPrObaion at such salute, but continued
in the vicinity till another charge was delivered,
which perforated his head and made large f1c-
ture in the skull bone He now made off and was
quickly followed by the Wasp's boat, in company
with that Of the Independent Eagle, Capt James
Owens, with harpoons, e. in hot pursuit; the tur-
tie, however, led them chase Of about eight miles,
when he harpOoned in the right flank, and after
considerable difficulty despatched and towed to the
schooners. The tackle of both vessels and the
strength of all hands requisite to get him
board. We saw him yesterday, and he
sured in our presence. His dimensions are from
the tip OF the to the tip of the tail eight feet;
from the tip oil fin to the tip Of the other feet
at the widest part from the side edge Of the she'll
over the back to the other edge, seven feet He is
quite black, both skin and shell, the latter being
futed onstudinally, and adherng the skin at the
shoulders, thus not permitting the head to be drawn
within it. The animal is supposed to be of the soft
shell species, the shell presenting rather the APP
pearance Of solidifed jelly than the firm substance
Of the green turtles she'll The creature would be
a curiosity, we should suppose, any where, from
its enormous size, but il is certainly rarity in
waters Its weight is supposedto be about l000lbs.
RIoT PHILADELPHIA-We gather from the
Philadelphia Enquirer the following additional par
uculars in relation to the riots in Kensington. The
police were driven from Mr.. Emery's house early
in the evening, at the risk Of their lives, and
was compelled to spring from third story window.
The cries Of some of the rioters were Of the most
inceDdisry and saRguinary kind; and we fear that
had any member Of the police been caught with his
badge on, murder would have been committed. ID
Mr. Emery had committed offence hut il was
said that the house in which he resided belonged to
Mr. Naglee, the President Of the Rail Road Compa-
ny. The police ale" stopped a. his house . sort
OF head quarters. But all was quiet in the evening
until the mob appeared; and then they commenced
riot, the motive for which, as we have shewn
above, must have been psrely malice and revenge.
The house was then set fire to and burnt 10 the
ground, and the lives Of several who were within
wastenly endangered, while they were assailedsX

endeavoring to escape. Several ofthe IRENE
