 Rev. MT. Burns, a Scotchman, usually holds ser- vice for the benefit of seamen on the quay, every Snndsy, and sometimes breaches three GIT four fines in the course of the day. He has seVera! times been insulted, and week ago was pelted with stones by the Cana1lers, who came over in 2OOO, determined to put stop to his outdoor re- marks.
 learn the secret of it is, Fre is an Orangeman of some note, and has been Tmprudeut m his re- marks respecting Irishmen and Roman Catholics. This reached the Canallers, who are always ready to reach the city, provided thrEe S any servlce wanted in their line.
 A note was received from the enemies of MT. Burns, stating that he should not preach again the coming Sunday, (the last.) This Mr. B. showed to the Mayor, who persuaded him to leave the city on Saturday last.
 In the mean time, it seems the Orangemen de- termned he should preach, and issued the folsow- ing notice, from the Orange Lodges;
 "L. P. S.-DoLPHIN!
 "SIR AND BROTHER You are requested to attend Divine Sevice, to be held at the Wharf on Sabbath next, at o'clock, there and then to be peated attacks made by band of low mean Canal- iers. By order of THE. CAPTAIN.
 |" Nrs- It will be advisable to keep any weapon of defence you may have concealed, until the sig nal is given by the Captain"
 The notice was printed in red ink and meant blood. The Mayor got possession of copy, and had strong police on the ground.
 At A o'clock in the afternoon, it is estimated that 10000 persons were present. composed of both parties. But the preacher had left town, ac- cording to the Mayors advlce.
 A row was got up between members of each par ty, and general melee took place. The Mayor finding the police unable to 4uell the belligereIts called for the military, who in large numbers ap' peared on the ground, with ball and cartridge This had the desired effect, and after little skr mishing with Jistieu6s, several were arrested and gave bail yesterday to appear at Court. On search ing them, one had pistol loaded to the muzzle ]; several had long knives and drks, and others load ed canes, Sc. &c.
 A letter has been received here, stating that the Home Colonial Office have the matter under dis cussion, to connect all the North American pro- vlnces by railroads from Nova Scotia, through New Brunswick to this city, as a military road If the Governmen: does not undertake it, they will grant lands to a company to prosecute it and the grants, it is sad will be liberal scale, that British capitalists will take the stock at once.
 Yours, Sc.
 Two ladies, from Boston, who were bathing at an inlet on Plum Island, on Monday afternoon, had narrow escape from drowning One of them having fallen down, the other attempted to get her upon the beach, and in the attempt both were car- ried out beyond their depth. The daughter of one ot the ladies, (Mrs. Oakes, of Boston,) about 13 years of age, who was with them, with great pres- ence of mind, immediately put on the life rreser. yer, which she had with her, and (having prac:is- et at Braman's baths, in Boston,) heinz an ex- pert smimmer swan out to them, and succeeded in drawing them both ashore. One of the ladies she was compelled to draw through the water by the hair of the head The ladies were SO much ex- hausted as to require medical attendance

 Remarkable Eseape.-A couple of lads in tbis village not relishing the warm weather Of the Nst week, took it into their heads to descend iDto a we'll which had become nearly dry to play. While prosecuting their amusements on Friday, iH the bottom of the we'll, they were alarmed by slight moving of the stones above them, and made their way out. One of them, however, soon returned, but had scarcely reached the bottom of the well, some ten or twelve feet in depth when the stone- work fell in upon him. The alarm soon given and hundreds of our citizens assembled and com menced moving the stone, expecting to find tho boy crushed to atoms. They had not proceeded far before their fears were qnieted by hearing the little fellow say, "I am cold, and want to come out" The stones were finally removed, and the boy taken from ;ne wei, s.; ss:!; 1:"sed but not materially injured. The stones in falling had form ed a sort of arch over him. He was in the we'll some two hours and a half.-SteuIen Courier.
 Ertensise Relationship. During the course of necessary for Judge Edmonds to remark upon the degrees of relationship with the parties to suit by which persons were disqualified from serving jurors. The exemption extended, the Judge said, to the ninth degree of consanguiniy. or as far as third cousins. In speaking upon this subject, he said that when appointed to the office of Recorder of this city some years since, knowing. from the fact that his ancestors were among the first settlers of this place. that he had extensive relationship here, though in many very distant he reques- ted his mother to give him the names of all the persons she knew in the city, who came within the degrees of third cousins, whose cases it would be improper for him to try, if they should ever come before him. Extraordinary as il may seem, she gave the names of 2.3OO! This, in population of $500, is what we should call pretty extensive lationship p-HMdson Rcpub. 'o
 [We believe o,u cousins in Litchfeld, within the third degree will not fall very far short of Judge Els at Hudson.-Ed. Eng.
