Riots in Philadelphia.-The city of brotherly
hns again been the scene Of mob-law and blood.
shed and the whole power of the civil authorities
was required to subdue the outbreak. The dis
patch says that on the night of the OH, tremen.
dous riot occurred between portion Of the white
and the black population. On the morning of the
! 10Th, tho disturbances were renewed, in conse-
quence of which some six eight military COM
panies were called out, and were hoaded by the
Sheriff. Cannon was placed in tho streets seve
| raj buildings have been burnt. and several lives
have been lost. 1t is not stated whether, at the
last accounts, the riotous demonstration had been
quelled.
90 We learn by The DoaksviIIe Telegraph of
the 18Th inst., that Parson Shook. who
Gently implicated by Short being connected
with the band of robbers lately discovered in Tex
as, was arrested few days ago. while attempting
to make his escape. Shook had gone to the Wi
cheta Mountains previous 10 the confession of
Short, and knew nothing o: the matter until his
return to the settlements. Soon after he attempt.
ed to make his escape, but was overtaken at Fort
Washita, and carried to Paris, Texas, where he is
now confined in Jail.
Since the above was in type, we have learned
that Shook, together with several other men, were
hung in Paris.
Our Relations Nth England.-The admins
trution appears to be in serious difficulty in regard
20 our nffa irs with England. The British govern
ment has assumed very imperious tone in rela-
tion to the Mosquito country, and contends for the
right Of way through Nicaragua. Mr.. Clayton
has positively, but courteously, protested in the
name of our govern ment. to any claim on the part
of England, and takes the ground assumed by Pre-
sdents Monroe and Polk, that England will not be
allowed to colonize on one foot more Of the North
American hemisphere. In maintaining this posi-
ton, the administration will meet with the cordial
support of every party in the country.
Carada-Anoher demonstration in favor of
anne xation to the United States, has been made at
Montreal. A declaration in favor Of annexation
was signed by large number of merchants and
landhoIders. two members of Parliament, and two
members of the Queens Council.
Election Ne,cs.-The returns from the Ohio and
Pennsylvania elections indicate that the democrn-
cy have made clean sweep in Pennsy yivania. and
more than maintained their ground in Ohio. The
democracy have elected one member of the Legis-
lnture in Allegheny county, Pa, which gave Har-
rison 5000, and Taylor like majority. Should
the balance of the State do as well, Tay lorism is
killed beyond redemption.
Gamble, the democratic canal commissioner
has been elected in Pennsy Ivania. joel JONES' in.
dependent, was elected Mayor of Philadelphia, by
65 majority.
Returns from seventy-three counties Indicate
that Towns, democrat, is elected Governor Of
Georgia by about 1000 majority. The democrats
will have majority on joint ballot in the Legis-
laure.
The election in Maryland results in the gain of
q democratic member TO Congress, and will thus.
10 all probability, give the democrats the choice Of
Speaker. We scarcely rejoice more in this than
in the glorious majority with which Baltimore has
honored her McLane. He counts more than one
man Of high ability; and one of the most effec-
tive deba,ers in the democratic ranks.
OF We learn by the St. Louis New Era, that
the trial of Nathaniel Childs, Jr., set for the
18th October, but it is thought that Judge Colt
will adjourn during the sitting Of The Convention,
and thereby prolong the commencement of this
important trial, which will occupy the attention
of the Court probably some weeks.
RESIGNATION OF Mr.. CALHoUN.-The PAilade1-
phia North Ame, ican states that private letter
was received in Philadelphia Sunday week,
from respectable source in Cha res,on, stating
that intelligence had just reached that city an
nouncing Mr.. CnIhoun's purpose to resign his seat
in the United States Senate at an early day.
Death Of Yankee HiH.-George Fl. Hill the
celebrated deiineator of Yankee character, died at
Saratoga Springs last Friday week, where he had
been sick for long time. Mr.. Hill was one of
the Oldest in his peculiar line. He was /" q fellow
of Infinite jest," and an admirable comedian.
IreasonoHe Correspondence.--The Canada pa
pers announce that Lord EIgin, the Governor Ge.
neral of Canada. has in his possession documents
tending TO impl'ca,e several leading politicians in
a charge of treason, in regard the annexation of
the Canadas to the United States.
HUNGARy.-ComOrn. the last fortress in the
