MORE TROUBLE IN HILDERBERG.-There seem
TO be more trouble in Hllderberg. 1t appears from
what we hear, that in the early part Of this weel
there was quite flare up on the VanRensselaer e.
tate. On Monday or Tuesday the Sheriff Of III
county attempted to serve writ on the Hilderberg
when he was surrounded by party of the tenant
dressed as Indians. They stripped him Of his pr
pers and then tarred and feathered him. Those VIII
accompanied the Sheriff were relieved of thei
boots and marched over craggy hills and roads, 1
their great annoyance and pain Their horses werl
cut loose and the "pisintry'' seemed to have ha,
it all their own way.
We have since received the Albany Advertis.
OF yesterday, giving the following additional par
tculars
We regret to learn that the Sheriff OF Rensselaer, cou
ty in attempting certain process the tenant
of VIM. r. Van Rensselaer,, Esq, has been resisted an
the power OF the law set at defiance We understan
that yesterday the Sheriff attended by his deputy, MI
Allen Of Lansngburgh and civil posse Of
five citizens, proceeded from Troy for the purpose
serving declarations in ejectment upon tenants of tn
Manor in the towns OF Stephentown and Sandake Whe
the posse arrived at Alps Corners in the town Of seph
entown they met by about 100 men disguised as In
dams armed with muskets pistols, hachea and othe
weapons The men surrounded the posse, unhtched tn
horses from their teams and turned them loose The,
then demanded and obtained from Deputy Sheriff ALE
his papers, which were Immediately burnt and the Dep
~ and MIR Eastman, OF East Nassau, were tarred an
eathered some Of the men standing them
threatening them with personal violence in case the
made the least resistance The remainder Of the poss
only escaped similar treatment by promise to leave tn
town forthwith-which they did, and all returned Il
Troy. We give the statement 1t detailed TO b.
eyewitness Whatever the burdens under which tn
tenants labor may be- this is not the way in which the
are be removed redressed The conduct OF thes
men, whoever they be, Is gross violation OF law, an
must be promptly and efectnally dealt with.

gentleman addressed full house last evening, on
the wonders Of the stellar universe. Dr. LIS powers
are well known. and seldom has more triumphant
instance been given of what eloquence and learn
ing combined can do, than was witnessed on tina,
occasion. Scarcely had he opened his mouth on
the sublime theme-the wonders of " the brave
Exchanging canopy"-of numbers, extension and
magnitude, than he evoked sympathy with his
audience that continued willis, he uttered syla
BILE.
II is obvious that the Doctor is speaker Of i
high order. He who can invest the stern subllml-
ty of science with all the attractiveness Of poem
or romance-he who can inspire his audience with
the lively emotions visible on every hand last night
he whose rhetoric give feature, and form and
deiinitiveness to the abstruse and hardly conceive
BILE wonders of astronomical research, and present
them in the form OF an artess narraton-is a mar
of rare ability, and worthy oral expounder Of
those high truths.
In consequence OF the high value placed upor
these lectures and exhibitions, we understand tina
numerous and pressing solicitations have been ad
dressed DR.. /. IN lengthan the course, 4

to which, we have the pleasure of learning, he IN

We regret that our space does not permit US /,

but what is BETTER it will be repeated this evening
as many were prevented by the weather from al

The DISTURBANCES IN THE DEMOCRATIC RANKs.-
The conspiracy Of the Euening Post TO break up
the democratic party in the approaching election,
10 the great topic of discussion in all the political
journals. The wing journals, Of course, gloat over
the business with great satisfaction. The Plebeian
of yesterday fulminates another column or two OF
fierce vindictive, and the Evening Post replies
with provoking GOODNESS In fact the anti-Texas
clique have concocted their measures with infinite
judgment and cunning, and can affsrd to laugh Ell
their opponents. They are organized all over tn
State, as appears from the notice for a mass
ing at Rochester, in the very centre of the western
district In Missouri, Mr. Benton's State, the
same feeling which animates this conspiracy is If.
resistbe, and no doubt it's ramficatons extend far
and wide. This Is, indeed, very serious dis
turbance in the democratic ranks, and unless
thing be done TO check it, the election Of Mr.
Clay and defeat Of Polk are inevitable.

THx RRFosM IN BROADWAY offered few

Ink RRFoRM IN BRoADwAY-We offered q few
suggestions yesterday, with the view Of aiding the
city authorities in carrying out, with proprety and
efficiency, the work OF removing certain nuisances
in Broadway at night We certainly glad TO per
ceive an effort to keep that great horoughfare free
from the rowdles and abandoned women who have
of late so much outraged public decency by their
polluting presence But as we suggested yesterday,
the mode in which this is attempted Is liable 10
some objections In the first place, the seizure OF
the miserable outcasts in very rude and harsh
manner by the wachmen, occasions no little dis
| turbance. A crowd in each instance Is collected,
and miniature riot is the result, some taking part
with the female and others with the officers. And
then the mere apprehension and confinement Of
the poor wretches in the 'sTombs," cannot erad-
cate the evil Besides, is there not danger that
virtuous females OF the lower class, returning home
alone from their places Of employment, may be
subjected, in some cases, 10 the harsh treatment OF
the officers?
The houses of ifame must be suppressed, and
proper asylum must be provided tor their unfortu
nate inmates We think that the city government
should al once set about the erection ola "Magda-
len Asylum for the reception Of abandoned wo-
men, in order that chance may be afforded them
If returning to the paths of rectitude, and saving
themselves from destruction. Indeed, we are sur
prsed that the private benevolence of the moral
and religious community has not long ago estab-
lished an institution of this kind. 1.-THE OF the
funds expended on magnificent projects for promo
ting christianity in foreign parts, applied al home
in this work Of mercy and true charity, would ell
feet incalculable good. Let movement, however,
be now at once made by the authorities to provide
this asylum for the unfortunate victims Of vice and
the destroyers of female happiness and virtue.
1t is to be hoped, indeed that the measures adopt
ed by the authorities may have the effect of deter
ring abandoned women from appearing in the
streets. What we chiefly complain Of is, the IN
necessary harshness and brutality manifested by the
officers in experimenting these poor creatures, and
the disturbance to the public peace which is thus
occasioned The evil attempted to be suppressed
is a very great one, and none OF our readers can
suppose that we are at all inclined to discourage
the authorities in the work Of its suppression. But
all reforms should be attempted with propriety and
without any unnecessary violence This reform
can certainly never be completed unless one sug-
gestion-one which we have repeatedly presented
be acted on. That is, the necessity Of suppresslns
the houses Of i-fame, and the erection of "Mag
delen Asylum"

"signed" ONE OF THE SUFFERERS.
Several days afterwe had thrown by these details
OF the wreck, furnished by " one Of the SUI
ferers," a card was sent to US by a French
gentleman, which reflected somewhat severely on
the conduct of Messrs. Gelston ~ Reed. We in
serted this card in Justice to Captain Poirier, an en-.
tire stranger in this country and it is this card
that has brought out the statement we have taken
from Boston paper. We republish the card =

GRATITupE.--Most of the New York papers have
corded the loss Of the American schooner William, q
Marbehead" aud the saving of six oil her and two Of
her passengers by Captain poirier of the French brig
Jeune Ludovc,D bound to Havre, France. The sequel

When Captain Porer first saw the boat Of the Will

hipwrecked friends at Quarantine on the oth instant
when TO his astonshment these gentlemen" as well as
the crew, lett him without offering him even their thanks
The above true statement made by Captain Porier
he saying at the same time that he wished the public
should know how his services to these respectable citizens
were rsquited by them is hoped that his wish will be
gratifed and that those editors who noticed the ship
wreck will also publish the sequel. GALLlA.
Now as Messrs Gelston q Reed have thought
properto state that we suppressed their card in

published did not emanate from Captain Poirer
and that they did shake hands with the captain
and French crew after "eating OF their bread anc
drinking Of their cup for twenty days, we have oh
