I55'It has now become the subject Of general
remark, that whenever John Tyler becomes satis-
fled that cry person holding an Office at his dis
Posal is a warm friend of Henry Clay, he takes
the first opportunity to d;smis, him and appoint
some one favorable to himself and the remark is
confirmed by many recent removals.
If Mr.. Tyler thinks by tina course to int.ini-
date the friends of Mr.. Clay, he is sadly mista-
ken; it will only serve to fan the dame of enthu
sasm that is every where manifested by them,
and render them doubly strong in the support Of
the great statesman Of the West, And il he hopes
for future support from the poor soulless office
seekers that now with mouths filed with slam

dency" he W i'll find he leans upon broken reed,
for when he is about to DO shorn of his power
which will ere long be the case, and efwhich no
seems conscious from the desperate use he is
making of it, after there is no longer any hope Of
their being benefited by adhering to him, they
will desert and despse him.

FROM RHODE ISLAND.

ATTACK ON TIE kENTIsn GUARDS
TWO MEN klLLED--REPoR FLIGHT
OF Gov. Dorm, AND DISPERSION OF
TIE SUFFRAGE FORCES
From thc Providence Courier Of Tuesday
! morning.
We understand that letter was receiv-
cd last evening, by Walter S. Burgess,
from Thomas w. DOR, stating he had
now become Convinced that majority OF
the people Of the, State were opposed TO
the Peoples Constitution, and he should
therefore abandon all further attempts 10
enforce it, and hoped the men assembled Il.
Chcpachct would be allowed to return
pcaceab!y to then homes.
General Richard Knight, Of Cranson,
formerly High Sheriff of this county, who
has just been released from confinement,
/ by the insurgents, states, that the repor,
I which was in circulation last evening, that
Dorr had fled, is correct. We do no,
vouch for the truth OF the report, neither
do we give in full crcdencc.
The kentish Guards, sent to Powtuck-
c, last evening, were attacked by mob
Of insurgents near the bridge, and TWO OF
their number injured by missiles thrown
/ by the mob. The Guards hred first over
the heads of the insurgents, but finding
they were bent upon mischief, they fred
for effect, and killed one and woumLcd
several others, when they dispersed.
Half PAS. 2 A. NJ. A report Of heavy
artillery has been heard in the direction ui
the insurgents encampment.
The Providence Chronicle of Tuesday
says DORIS father visited him to-day

monishments could avail nothing. Ii The
above is true, it would seem they have
That such communication was received
] know. Whether Dorr was sincere OF
not is another thing.
All is excitement, and recruits are still
arriving in the city, from all parts Of the
State. The force against Dorr, all told
must now amount to nearly 1000 men.
A serious ARRAY occurred at Pawtucke,
yesterday. The guard stationed at the
bridge to prevent the egress Of persons
from the other side, fired upon a carriage
and upon several persons who made rush
topass.
The. Kcnti.h Guards sent to pawtucke
last evening, were attacked by mob q
insurgents, and several Of them injured by
missiles. They fred upon the mob and
killed two persons. The mob dispersed
Gen. Richard Knight, of Cranston, who
has jus. returned from Providence, from
imprisonment among the Insurgents, states
! that the report that Dorr had fled is cor
rect.
Mr.. Knigh. was fired upon by the in
surgents, when he aed, and one ball graz
ed his hat.
The report that Major Davezac has
gone to Rhode Island is without fouuda-

CrOtOn AqUcduct.-1his splendid

CrOtOn AGUcdUct.-Ihls splendid
and stupendous work, which as is known
to our readers generally, is intended to
supply the city of New York, with good
water from the Croton, is now on the eve
ofcompletion. Some idea Of its vastness
may be gathered from the following para
graph taken from the New Y DIRK Tribune,
which contains long and interesting des-
crp,ion of it, but which for want of space
we cannot copy.
THE main trunk consists of an i'm
mense mass Of masonry, six feet aud a
half wide, nine feet high, and forty miles
long, formed of walls three feet thick
cemcnled into solid rock. But this Wafer
channel, gigantic as it is, is fal from being
all the work The dan across Il Cru-
ton, which retains the water in a grand
reservoir, is mound of earth and ma
sonry, forty feet high and seventy feet
wide at the bottom, and has connected
with it many complicated but perfect con
trivances to enable the engineer to have
complete control over the mighty mass of
wafer. The river thus thrown back.toward
its source, will form lake of five hun
dred acres, which will retain supply for
emergencies of some thousand millions of
gallons"
There are twelve subterraneous pas
sages, of an aggregate length of seven
eiqhths of a mile, many of them cut
through solid rock, and many very long
and beautiful bridges erected at great cost.
The whole cost of the work TO the city,
will be about twelve millions Of dollars.
