impoRrANr FROM rHx WEST We learn, says the
Platte Eagle OF the 18th ut that letter has been
received from prisoner at Fort Gibson, stating that
company OF dragons from that post, after despe-
raIe conhct, in which a numberwere killed on both
SIDES We have not learned the locale OF the fight,
but Judge from what we hear that il occurred near
the Texas aud Arkansas line. Ii was thought, and
not without reason, that the party captured was the
predatory band recently referred TO by our conem-
pOrdty ol the MlSsOurian having oDJect
Intercepuon aud plunder OF the Santa Re traders
We wait anxiously further particulars.
The -. LOUIS New Era OF the 2lst ult thus ex-
claims this affair" hat such an expedition was
projected, and is IN process OF execution, Is render
ed certain by letters in this city from the leader OF
the enterprise himself, although he AYERS that they
had and have different object in view. We learn
that the leader of the expedition is named Warfied,
formerly citizen of Louisiana, but now holding The
commission OF Colonel in the Texan service. He
was IN thus city last November, equipped himself for
III" expedition, and in December left the frontier for
Beats Fort oa the Arkansas. He had in his posses
sion blank commissions in the Texan military SER
vice. and by the exhibition of them and the pro-
mise of Office and reward under the Texan Govern
ment. he no doubt induced many persons on the
frontier TO engage In his enterprise But the object
OF 1t, he AYERS. is not TO rob modest American
traders but TO proceed to Santa Fe, and in the name
OF the Texan Government TO capture and take pos
sion OF that town."
ANOTHER RIOT IN BosroN.-In our paper of yester-
day we adverted 10 disturbance which occurred
In Broad street. Yesterday morning we visited the
scene OF uproar, and ascertained that was caused
by woman who, under the impression that her
husband was dead married fiddler Her husband
seems, lett her eight years ago, and during this pc
Rod OF lime never gave her information OF his
Whereabouts. On Monday evening he came back
very unexpectedly and found his wife in the possess
sion OF the fiddler A row, OF course, ensued; doors
ana WINDOWS Were broken, and large mass OF peo-
pie Collected. Yesterday morning no less than
three or tour hundred people again congregated, and
we never saw such scene OF riot and evident dspo-

GERS were on the ground, and d:scha ged their duty
promptly. The fiddler anti his spoSd remained
perfectly quiet the cellar the riot which did pre-

were not even acquainted with the parties, and who
entered into the merely tor the sake of having
what they call fun. "-Boston Times, Mays
TROUBLE AT PRINCE EDWARDS IsLAND.-Great
distress prevails al the present Time in the agrlcuu
raj districts OF Prince Edward Island. which it is to
be deplored, has resulted ia very serious riots
Gross GU RACES have been committed on property,
and the house of man named Mcguire, on lot orty-
hive, was set fire TO and destroyed. A surveyor,
also, who had been employed to stake of land be

was forciby driven from his works by an assembly
OF several hundred persons, and person named
Haney, iorclby relnstated into the possession of

On the Whue Mountain route several bridges were
destroyed. The rala swelled the stream on the An

been heard of. All the bridges over the river at
this place, says the Saco Democrat. except one have
bten completely swept away. The river is filled
with lumber and wrecks OF buildings The rain
continues, and more damage must inevitably be
done Many OF the streets of Saco rendered
impossible. Many Of the houses in Water street
have been abandoned by families There has not
been so great freshet, or so destructive one,

FREsHErs IN CANADA.-It is much to be feared
that the heavy ram which commenced last night
and which still continues unabatedy 10 fall will be
productive OF serious consequences throouShout the
country more especially as following the rapid
thaw which has been commenced by the recent
mild weather Accounts have reached us of the ra-
pd rise OF the waters several of the districts be-
tween this and Montreal, and OF the injury which
has already followed the foundations The mail
from Montreal has now to travel great portion Of

They bring the dIsagreeable intelligence that the
river is still on the rise. The country about the
sources OF the Hudson is covered with vast body
OF snow On the mountains OF Essex county, and
in the forests of Hamilton, the snow is yet several
feet in depth. There is but too much reason to ap-
prehend long continuance Of the present freshet
