SETTLEMENT OF THE N. E. BoUNDAY


The gratifying report of the settlement
of this important controversy IS confirmed.
The correspondent of the N. Y. Commercial
Advertiser gives the following as the items
of the Convention
Maine and Massachusetts, relinquish near
ly all the territory North of the st Johns.
That which they do not relinquish is a
segment between that river and the st.
Francis.
The free navigation of the st. Johns
river is cedded by Great Britain to the Uni
ted States.
In consideration of such Accomplishments
on the part of the two States,sum of $780,
900. to be equally divided between them, is
paid by Great Britain which Government
also stipulates to pay the expenses to which
Maine has been put, in defence of the dis
puted territory. This will amount to some
100000 more.
A liberal arrangement of the Northern
Boundary line, on the New Hampshire, VT.
and New York frontiers, has been acquies-
ced in by Great Britain.

RIOT IN PHILADELPHIA, &c.
Correspondence Of the Tribune
PHILADELPHIA, August LIST, Is

| HlLAOELfhlAg huSuS' 49,
Mr.. Editor-Reports are rife Of a great
riot in the South part of the city, between
the whites and blacks, and many exagger-
ated stories will be put into circulation. IL
has been asserted that two white men and
one black were killed but cannot learn
that such is the fact, although there is no
doubt of several having been seriously IN
jured. The disturbance originated in
large body of blacks-members of various
soceties-getting up an extensive procession
intending to pass thro' the principal streets
and out into the country. In passing along,
one of the colored officials pushed white
boy aside, who, perhaps purposely, obstruc-
ted the passage. He stumbled and in fall
ing hurt himself; making an outcry which
speedily created a mob and the tight com
menced.
The procession was completely broken
I'D, the banners and flags beat down, and
for time the most serious apprehensons ex-
listed of bloody scene. The police were
on the alert, and by prompt and energetic
measures have so far succeeded IN quelling
the belligerents. Night has always been
here the most favorable for such scenes,and
should the scattered forces reassemble this
evening, the consequences cannot be estl-
mated. There are all the materials for a
tumultuous outbreak bitter prejudIces, want
of employmet, pecuniary dlstress-the mass
of combustibles which such condition OF
affairs is so well calculated TO engcnder,
only wants the match to be applied. Should
any thing occur you shall be early april
sed.
A tremendous meeting is now assembled
in Independence square, ostensIbly for the
purpose of the purpose of taking into con
sideration the present state of tue times and
devisine some means for alternating the
general distress. Ihope-as the measure
is professedly Invested ofali party bias or
fecIing-some good may grow out OF 1t,

Union Resolutions gave some of the hard
money leaders an opportunity, which they
have much desired, to read him out of the
party, and when his movement first took
effect they sprung upon him with savage
ferocity. The result has been unfortunate
for them. Mr.. Hamer is by far the ablest
man of his party in the State, and in driving
him from the ranks they drive off hundreds

Mr. Archer hoped that the opinions of
the President had changed in one month.

it was for independence of Congress on the

to be continued. Mr.. Tallmadge advocated
the continuance TO the States Of their pro-

In the House, a motion by Mr.. Stanly
prevailed, and the Senate bill for the re-or-

of Commissary General of Purchases, of
Superintendent of Armories, &c. and re
duces the Army to 1854 selected men, in
stead of 1898, as proposed by the proviso
of the House to the Appropriation bill. Mr..
Stanly, Chairman of Military Committee,
briefly explained the amendments of the
Committee and the bill, and urged the Com
mIttee to act on this subject, without debate,
at this late period of the session. Mr.. Cave
Johnson moved an amendment to strike out
all after the enacting clause and insert
section repeating the act of 1888 for the in
