Scarce had the air ceased 10 reverberate the shouts
of the untenf.d democracy-the unAlnchins sub
terraneans and the conflicting cries of swan Buren,
or DEATH" Calhoun and victory" when the cry
ofmurder was heard IN Broadway. A lady in black,
while conversing near Barclay street, with Mr..
Henry s. Ballard, young merchant OF Cedar street,
drew from her girdle dirk knife and thrust in his
side, making deadly aim at the heart, but provl'
denlally the point struck rib, which saved the lie
of her victim, who instantly shouted out :" am
stabbed-oh, God, am murdered" The arm of
the determined woman was raised tor second

hand Assistance was instantly given to MIR. Bal.

that dangerous wound had been inflicted-one-

had been accomplished. The woman was secured,
and taken in cab to the watchhouse, to await the
result On her way to the lock up, she observed,

cause of the foul attempt has been already explained
to the public, as it will be recoected that about
six weeks ago. the same woman attempted to,
and did horsewhp her seducerin Nassau street, but
the affair was hushed up. Yet the vengeance of a
woman upon her despoier cannot be checked,
when jealousy and desertion goad her to its accom-
plishment.
The crowd had scarce ceased to wonder, when
the steamboat from Albany dashed proudly
through the Hudson, bearing upon her deck
the Hero of the Thames, the noble chief, Colonel
Richard M. Johnson. Though years have sill
vered the old chiefs head, they have not
checked his activity. Like our noble Princeton he
moves ahead, without waiting for tide, wind, or
current. He dashes aside the opposing bands of
cold ceremony, and before the news of his inten.

How shall we remedy these mistakes! We say,
let there be gathering of our fellow cit zens sen

soldiers ? Let them show how they honor the
hero, whose sword has never been sheath

the stakes to be contended for. Hang out your BAN

heard summoning your comrades TO the welcome.
Turn out in force, and as soldiers rally around the
hero Of the Thames. Let party feuds be forgotten-
let all unite-and show to the man who has done
his country service, that New York acknowledges
the common debt.
AS we wended our way from Towards, a
light shot high into the heavens, Illuminating
the streets with its vivid glare. We at first
supposed it was some signal fire lighted on the
banks of the Jerseys, to spread the tidngs but on
examination it dwindled down to fire on West
