PRUSSIA,
Serious disturbances broke out at Altoona on Mon
day night. It appears that about 500 Prussan
troops marched into thaG town, and on arriving at
the railway station they were received with loud
groans by mob who had assembled there for the
purpose. On reaching the Altonaer gate, endea-
Vors were made to prevent the PFussians from en-
terlng Hamburger, when the latter, who had offered
no opposition to them at that time, turned round,
fell out Of their ranks, and attacked their assalants
The mob pelted the soldiers with stones and other
missiles, and heapsd upon them every conceivable
insult The Prussians now, indignant At me
treatment they had met with, fired and wounded
several, some Of whom, it was reported, have since
died The afffay continued for some time longer,
and many of the manned were carried TO the nos
pital, and others to their own homes.

A NARROW EsCAPE-The superiority Of felt
over paper, to be applied to the bottoms of ships
beneath the copper, is well illustrated by the fol-
lowing singular fact. The ship Dorothea, sent on
a voyage of discovery to the arctic regions, was
crushed between two fields of ice; the shock was
SO tremendous, that several of the beams which
support the decks were broken, and all on board
expected she would founder, but to their surprise
no leak was discovered; and hence it was thought
that the beams were the only parts damaged She
arrived in England without leaking; but when
taken into dock and stripped for the purpose of
aiming into her state, it discovered that nine
ty-six Of the timbers under water broken, the
plank of the bottom deranged and that the felt had
saved the ship.

THE ELEoTioN OF A SENATOR m PLACE on
Ma, REYNoLDs.-The Bee Of yesterday morning
has an article calling attention to the fact that Mr.,
Reynolds has vacated his Office of Senator by &C
cepting the place of District Attorney. Undoubt-
eddy the Bee is correct in saying that the consttu-
ton by forbddiBg person to hold, at the same
tins, more than one civil office of emolumen" APP
plies to the case of Mr.. Reynolds But the Bee
has overlooked the Act of 1947 entitled An Act
to regulate elections in the Parishes of Orleans and
Jefferson" The 37th section of that ActTeads;
That whenever the seat of any Senator or
Representative shall become vacant it shall be the
duty of tine Governor, within five days after being
officially informed Of such vacancy to issue his
writ of election to supply such vacancy, directed
10 the proper returning officer, whose duty it shall
be- within three days after the receipt of such writ,
to give public notice that an election will be held
TO ill such vacancy on day to be named by him,
which shall not be within less than eight or more
than fifteen days after the publication of such
notes ; and such election shall be held and con-
Quoted, and the returns thereof made in the man
ner and form provided in this act for general cleo
tons"
We suppose that in accordance with this section
Gov. Johnson will issue his proclamation for the
election to fill the vacancy of the Orleans Senator
in time to let it take place on the first Monday il
| November. If Mr.. Reynolds gives the Governor
official notice of the vacancy at the proper time
we may thus be saved the trouble and expense o
another election. 1t may be well for parties il
making their nominations to bear in mind the fac
that third Senator will have to be elected hefor
! the Legislature meets, and that the election 70
this Senator will probably take place at the sam
| time as the other elections.

A Fuss AMONG THE STUDENTS AT WASHING
TON CoLLEGE-The students at Washington Col
lege, Pennsylvania, have had difficulty with the
faculty, and thirty of them have Withdrawn from
that institution, if their fathers do not send them
back. One of them had committed improprieties,
for which he was reprimanded. He took the mat
ter in high dudgeon, and demanded an explanation.
A number sided with him, but the faculty refused
to numbers what they had denied to the delinquent
and the result was a withdrawal of the students
from the College.

INTERESTING FROM THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE.
A telegraphic dispatch from Boston says; By the
arrival of the bark Arthur Pickering, we have ad-
vices from the Cape of Good Hope to the 18th Of
July. The vessel which sailed from Bermuda some
time since with the patriot Mitchell on board had
not arrived when the Pickering left The great
est excitement continued to prevail in regard to
making the colony a convict settlement. Several
Government officers had resigned, and those who
filed their places were attacked by the mob, and
their houses destroyed. The military were called
out, and several Of the rioters wounded before
they could be dispersed. 1t is thought that when
the vessel arrives, there will be serious troubles.
