PERsIA-Insurrection at Ieheran-The Constan.
tinope Journal of the 18th of April states that &C.
counts have been received from Persia of a serious
insurrection, which broke out at Teheran. The
new Prime Minister, Mira agh- Khan, had in
troduced some reforms into the administration,
which were displeasing to some of the great men
about the court, who got up conspiracy against
him. The insurrection broke out on the night of
the 18th of March. Four regiments. which had
been gained over by the conspiraors, attacked the
residence of the Minister, under pretence of de-
handing some arrears of pay. They We're re-
pulsed by the guards; and having been promised
that justice should be done to them they retired to
their quarters. Shortly afterwards, however, they
again sailed out, declaring that the Minister should
be deprived of office. The state of affairs then
took so serious turn that the English and Russian
representatives went to the Shah, to recommend
that he should yield to the demands of the soldiers
The Shah refused, and the inhabitants having ia
ken up arms in favor of the Government, the SOL
diers were ultimately driven out of the place, and
order was then restored. 1t appears that the con-
spirators have since acknowledged their offence
and that an amnesty has been granted The affair
lasted two days, and was at one period excessively
formidable

EXPLOSION OF THE STEAM BOILER. Mr.
Edmund Burke, late Commissioner of Patents, in
his interesting report on this subject, attributes the
bursting of steam boilers mainly to the use of cast
iron boierheads and the absence of such guards as
inventive genius has furnished. 1t is more than
twenty years since the Government of France
passed law prohibiting the of cast iron boiler
heads, after some destructive explosions from this
cause yet, our government has neglected to follow
the example.
The report strongly recommends the adoption of
a safety-guard invented by Mr.. Evans of Pitts
burg, of the inventor of the locomotive engine.
1t has been in nine years, and has been tested
by l25 boats on Southern and Western rivers,
and out of the whole number, only three accidents
have occurred, and those were caused by the lever
of the safety guard being obsruced from operating
From the report, it appears that within the past
twenty years there have been killed by explosions
in this country, 926 persons, and 1913 wounded,
many of them made cripples for life, while nearly
a million dollars in property have been destroyed.
The Commissioner insists on the passage of an act
by Congress compelling all high pressure steamboats,
to use Evanss Safety Guard, until something more
perfect may chance to be discovered.

G3 Many persons have an idea that theatre be-
longs to the public, and that they may make much
disturbance as they please without mourning legal
responsibility. But such an idea is erroneous
The rule was laid down in the case of a riot in
1911, at the Covent Garden Theatre, that any
cooperation, even of the least violent nature, in
premeditated tumult at the theatre, is breach of
the peace, and is punishable by law. Judge
Mansfield, in luminous and careful decision, ex-
planned the relative rights of managers and the
audience, the substance of which is that audiences
have right to express by applause Kisses the
sensations which occur to them at the moment,
during the actual performance of a play; but that
any previous arrangement or settled purpose be-
tween two or more to hiss actor or a piece,
amounts to conspiracy, and pay be punished
AZ such.

NEW ORLEANS:
SATURDAY MORNING, MAY 2o, 1s4o.

OF The question of admitting negro congre-
cations into fellowship with white congrega-
tons in the Conventions of the Episcopal Church,
have been raised again inthe Convention for
the Diocese of Pennsylvania, which is now in
session at Philadelphia. The petition of certain
gentlemen elected as lay delegates by the corpora
ton of the Church of the Crucifxton, the congre-
CATION of which is composed of coored persons }
has been presented and referred to committee
The members are divided in opinion, and have pre-
sented majority report recommending they be ad-
mtted, while the minority say that the former ac-
ton of the Convention admitting this Church in
connection was illegal, and should be declared
null andvoid. The matter is a little complicated,
because the delegates white persons, as well as
minister and wardens; but a great portion of the
Convention express the fear that their admission
will cause the coored churches to press the admis-
sion of their colored clerical and lay delegates
The question will probably cause a warm debate
Da- The New York Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church, after sitting week In Pough-
keepse, ~ Y, adjourned on the 18th inst. Its
vote on the subject of arbitration with the Church
South, was 100 in favor to 9 against it.

GENTLEMEN: Your letter ofthe 18th Of May
has been received. The warm and generous
expression of commentator and approval, by
you, OF my course of action since have had the
honor Of a seat in the United States Senate, is
most gratefully received. The highest reward
the Representative can receive is the appreciation
and confidence of his constituents-when Ihaye
reason to believe, that l have lost that approba-
ton and confidence, ] trust that my self respect
may SO far obtain the ascendeDcy over nv lore Of
station that l will voluntarily retire from the place
assigned me.
Your especial approval Of my action upon the
slavery question, is most fully and Justly appre-
lciated. When Isigned the address Of the South.
ern Members Of Congress to their constituents,
was fully impressed with the conviction, that Il
was the fixed design of the Free States, not only
TO prevent the Slave States from any further par.
ticipation in the Territories Of the United States;
but by q series Of measures to reduce the l.fte.

is opposed to the eapediency of the Proviso,
why the necessity Of appealing from the
resolutions of the legislature Why the
necessity of canvassing to State of Missou-
ri to advocate a measure that he is opposed
to? If he had shown a willingness to vote
against the Proviso, all would have been
we'll. The resolutions demanded no more,
and his constituents expected no more
mo, he did not want to vote against the
Proviso and lodged the issue by crying out
against the resolutions-that they looked to
a dissolution of the Union. They asked
him to do nothing to dissolve the Union, un-
less voting against the Proviso would dis
solve it. Col. Benton skulks the issue by,
'demagogue like, crying disunion! disun-
ion! !! to divert the attention of the people
from his own disobedience with relation to the
Proviso. His true principles. are to be seen in
the votes mentioned above; and, as he says in
his Jefferson City speech, in his proposition in
Congress 'o exclude slavery from the western
part of Texas by a line running north and south
He says he is against the extension of slavery
Yet, in the face of these facts, there are men
hardy enough to say that Benton is opposed toI
the Proviso.
