successor, in case he should not be reappoint-

mission of the incumbent marshal was to eX-
pire previous to the period for the commence

SERIOUS RIoT.-You have doubtless seen
in our papers the continued opposition which
the attempt TO lay the railroad from New Y ork
down Front street has met with in the dis
trict Of Kensington, through which it passes
into this city. The Supreme Court having
decided that the company could lay their rails
thereupon, the workmen have several times
lately attempted to proceed, but have always
been deferred by the inhabitants. This NOR
ming another attempt was made, but was spec
Oily frustrated by the populace, who mustered
in great force. The police were assembled
to the number of above hundred, but after
making several arrests they were beaten off,
some Of them narrowly escaping with their
lives; but they retained possession of nine
prisoners, who are now in prison. The ex-
citemeHt is undated, and results are still APP
