why man of his ability and capacity, need
make his bills in such bungling manner, and

Of the New York College of Physicians and Sur

man who was troubled with palpitation of the

of organic disease of the heart could be detected

Sir John Franklin sailed from Portsmouth, Eng.

The lady Of Sir John Franklin has written
letter TO President Taylor, dated April A, Is49,

The New York Riot.

In our paper of to-day will be found the particu-
lars this disgraceful occurrence, which took place
on Thursday evening last In order that our rea-
ders NAV the better understand the origin of this
proceeding, it is proper to state that controyer-
sy took place last winter in the newspapers, be-
tween Forest the great American Tragedian, and
Macready, the great English Tragedian. A few
wears since, when Forest visited Europe, and per-
formed on the London boards, he was Kissed and
otherwise rudely treated; and his merits as an ar
list were severely criticised by the London Exam
iner, paper edited by warm friend of Macrea-
dy Some of Forests fliends have asserted that
This was done at the instance of Macready. This
Macready denies, and proves to be false-and
proves further by the editor Of the Examiner, that
he endeavored to prevent the criticism, or to
have its character Modified On the other hand
il has been charged that Forrest instigated the in
dignities shown Macready in cities last winter,
and his more recent and outrageous treatment in
New York. This appears to be unsustained by
any evidence beyond the public controversy they
had in newspapers, which grew out of the treat

idence tla! either of them has prompted the out

is highly probable il not absolutely certain that

that is, marshy glen on the south bank of the
stream, in which, after digging through about IS
inches of peaty soil, stratum of ice is reached,
from two to six inches thick. He says it is pure
and perfect ice," but adds, somewhat contradic-
