Return Of Pt0ce.-We are happy to in.
form the public that the last Mcleod war is
over. We said several days ago thai
peace would return as soon as the "minis.
icrial crisis had passed. Our prediction
is now verified The news from England,
the news from Washington, and the news
from the northern frontier, all so TO show
that ,he frightiul rvmors and reports ,l'ot
have been buri'ed about upon this subject
by some portions Of the press are just what
we described them TO be, arraui, silly, rid
iculous humhug, an article by the way IN
which there has been more competition
among several newspapers IN this city oi
late than any thing else, they have beon
running a race 10 see which could publish
the greatest number of foolish rumors from
all quarters.
The stuff about The Northeastern bound
ary was blown 10 the winds by the Com
missioners themselves; the more silly stuff
about Il peremp,ory demand for Mcleod,
the news Of which was brought by Sir John
Harvey was sufficiently repudiated by
common sense; i, now appears that it was
nor only absurdly false, but that Lord Pal
mcrslon expressly avowed himself satisfied
with Mr.. Wcbster's letter.
The very pinnacle of The ridiculous has
been reached, however, by the reports
that The excited people at the north were
about to drag Mcleod Gom jail, and fail
ing in that would kidnap his witnesses on
the way 10 his trial. We admit that there
is a great dca! of excitement in that dircc-
lion, aud we do not wonder. 1t is enough

all be heartily glad when the public is re-
licvcd from supporting him.

charged two other persons with having
committed violent assault and battery on
him. Appearances indicated that he had
been rather severely handled; two Of his
iugcrs were so severely bitten that ampu'
tation will probably have to follow. a
warrant was accordingly issued against the
authors Of this offence, and placed in the
hands of officer Jnggers. On making the
arrest the officer was also placed IN d.

wise deaf and dumb: however, after lii

both before The Alderman, when an exam
iua,ion was had through the instrumental
ty OF pen, ink and paper. The case was
continued for another hearing.

TrrdS.-We have been favored with

highly intelligent professional gentleman,
