from Liverpool.
DRowNED. About o'clock this morning man

out OF a pleasure boat, in which he and about Z
dozen companions were on excursion TO ape
May, into the Delaware. The accident occurred
opposite Eagle Point, about seven miles below the

justice, SIX or eight Sundays ago, was arrested on

Ndetault OF IS 600 bail, to appear and answer. II
will be recoect.d that when the rescue OF Maney
took place, police officer Beck was morally
wounded by the accidental discharge Of pistol in
the hands OF hesman who assisting the officers.
DEPARTURE OF THR TRooPs.-The troops TIA
toned IN our city left for the interior last evening,
and Philadelphia now presents less warke asi ect
than she has for tho last few weeks.
All is quiet the strong arm OF the law has been
and is being exerted IN the arrest Of the outla VS.
who raised their hands against the INSTITUTION OF
their country, and this has struck the disorderIy
with wholesome terror There is still, however,
to be heard the stuffed growl of overawed BIZ
gotry and fanaticisni. There is deep-seated ma
tired evinced towards the Catholics which requires
very little effort 10 TO break out again IN acts
u redanhled violence. ! heard one OF those VINO
mark the other day, that :" the strong arm of au-
thorlty prevented him from speaking his mind upon
matters OF deep interest at present. but he would
say, that II the Catholics gaze again for
another excitement either they or The Protestants
| must give way'' BY this he gave me TO UNDER
stand that one sect or the other must be extrrmi-
| mated And this IS the feeling INDUCED in by men
OF plety and responsibility, In the nineteenth CEN
fury and in IN enlightened land OF liberty. The
tact ID, The putting arms into the church OF 81
Phillips Is regard q as most heinous offence, a.
| indeed u secret mine laid Tor poor prosecuted Pro-
trsIan,s who are To be deliberately murdered for
the sport and pleasure OF the horrible priests This
| idea, preposterous as II may appear, Is seriously
pui forth by the blind zealols OF our city, rather
districts Common sense stands no chance against
the blindness, vioencr and mpud-nce Of such aTRu-
"*ns /! s'in vain you point % the small minority
As that imputed 10 them, and above all the regard 10
their own safety, which would be sufficient
check even It sach designs could be conceived oi
| tor a moment; all these considerations are over
~hrl med IN the fury which has selz~d upon
mems minds. In the midst OF such slate
| 81 things, 10 It at all wonderful that
/ INC pour SdtuOUCb sHOulu become alarmed
| and commence far arming and organi-
| cation Is concerned, 10 provide against out
/ break and Tor the safety Of themselves and pro-
perry! IT'S true that Ne who are PTotestasts can
see no danger andtheretOre we are apt 10 denounce
as did III my second letter the depUsltiDg OF arms
IN any place tor defence. Our safety does not hap
zen to be menaced, but let US reverse our position
let US suppose ourselves In the midst OF catholic
| population, with certain portion OF the press la
boring for long time in denounclng 10 the po-
poace, and mpullng all kinds OF atlrocious designs

ed by these publications, and were taking m~a-
sures 10 give expression and substance 10 the sni
| moslties thus engeDdered, would we not become
/ alarmed! Most certainly we would, and no rea-
sonable mind could find fault with our making such
arrangements tor defence we could The ar
| engagements for defence in the Southwark was
believe unnecessary and mprudent, but
| contends that the fault hes with the inham-
matory course Of the leaders OF the Native Ameii-
can party, operating upon The thouehlless and is-
norant OF our native population, but more paItcu-
larry upon the Tears of sensitive, hot headed and
passionate Irish Catholic community. In both
cases they had the proper material tor their work,
| and they did not scrnple 10 use IT, The effect,
however, was more disasirous'ihan what the mole
rational leaders among them designed. and they
endeavored to moderate the storm they had raised.
But it was in vain They raised hell, and they
now find impossible TO put it out till II shall have
| consumed them.
