- TIE Rlors on the Beauharnois Canal IN

IL
Canada, though the rioters were temporarily re-
pulsed, seem not to have been queled. The
Pittsburgh Republican says that passengers Oh
the steamer Whitehall, from st. Johns on Thurs
day last, report that the rioters again assembled
in great nurnbers-killed eight soldiers, and drove
the military from the field. On the night OF
Wednesday. the 14,h, an express reached Mon
treal for more troops and SIX companies lmmedi-
ately started for the scene Of war. The Montreal
Courier of Friday says that a further force OF lUo
men belonging 10 the list regiment, under the
command OF Sir Hugh Dalrymple, left that city
on Thursday morning for the scene of the DIS
turbance. This reinforcement, 1t was said, had
been called for IN consequence of a large number
of the rioters being still in the woods armed. 1t
is reported that SIX more dead bodies have been
found and it has been also ascertained that sew
era parties lost their lives in attempting to cross
the river, to escape from the troops. One man
was brought into Montreal on Wednesday who
had three gun shots-one In the body and two IN
the face. The Courier states that he says that
ne himself saw FIVE men fall dead after the dis
charge.
The Times and some other papers express the
opinion that the measures taken TO quell the rot
were unnecessarily severe and bloody When
they had first assembled it is said that were only
armed with sticks, and not sufficiently Formidable
to warrant the bloody slaughter to which re-
sort was had. The rioters are mostly Irish and
have for some time formed a very restless and un-
easy portion Of the population.
RAEID DoGs.-DANGER OF BEING BITTEN
The City is oScrrun with worthless ours and pup
pies, many of which we have reason to fear are
in rabid state, when their bite is certain death.
Already seven or eight mad dogs have been killed
since the warm weather commenced. The last
cases of mad dog killing are as follow: On Mon
day, the 18th inst, one rabid dog was killed IN
Cherry. street near the time the people were out
TO sec the procession. On Saturday last one was
killed in Rivington-strcet on Sunday, one IN
Delancv.street; and on Monday, one in Division
street-each of which had bitten other dogs. One
OF those killed attacked Waterman with such
ercencss that he tore the mans clothes nearly oil
his back, before he was overcome and destroyed.
Is it not HIGH time that the Mayor or City au-
thoritics, who have this matter IN charge, should
nut their men in motion, that these dangerous an
finals may be destroyed, and the lives OF citizens
saved We leave it for them TO determine
ANOTHER BORDER OurRAGE.-The Calais

pectcd of having informed at the Custom House
against some leather belanglng to w. +. Col
well shoemaker in Midtown, was seized, car
ried across the border into Ncw-Brmswlck,
stripped of his clothing and taTed and ieathcred.
The Journal says the probabilities arc that the
outrage was perpctrated by citizens of the Prov

n Hon. S. S. BowSE, late NJ. C. from the
Otscgo District in this State, and most obsequi-
Gus Tyler Foco, has been appointed Receiver
OF Public Moneys at one of the Wisconsin Land
Offices. Ofcourse some Wing has to suffer.
It's suggested that George W. Clinton, late
Collector at Buffalo, and son-in-law of Hon
John C. Spencer, will probably be made Governor
of Wisconsin.
05 Col W. P. Blodgct of Providence, who
took prominent part in defence of the constituted
authorities during the late troubles IN Rhode Isl
and, has since been subjected to great annoyance
from suits Instituted against him in the Courts oil
Massachusetts for acts done in the performance
of his duty. a petition praying the General As,
semby TO interfere in his behalf has been signed
by the general and staff officers and others OF
Tie chartered military companies.
H. The last chapter of Martin Chuz2lewit
from which an interesting extract will be found
on our last page lands the hero at this city. So
we may probably look for showing up Of life
and character III America, whittier Lummy Ned

he wrote back that him and his friends was al,

President Boz did Mt visit us for nothing.
H. 4 Subscriber wishes us to endorse an
opinion expressed in The Sun that an Assistant
to Alr. J. r. Whiting as District Attorney should
be appointed and paid by the City. We can't do
it. Mr. Whiting is literally paid and if he wants
help, can well afford to hire it. Passing an officer
fat salary, and having another to perform hls
duties, We don't agree to.
